There are only three days left to voice your support for a national Container Deposit Scheme (CDS). In doing so, you can help stop more than 9 million recyclable containers going to landfill every day.
The Federal Governments “Regulatory Impact Statement” (RIS) into a national container deposit scheme is out for comment until 30 March. However there are serious flaws in its approach.
The RIS understates the benefits and overstates the costs of environmental policies – in this case contradicting the evidence from real life operating CDS which shows massive benefits!
Please send a message of support for a CDS to SCEW.Secretariat@environment.gov.au BEFORE THIS FRIDAY 30 MARCH 2012.
Some of the issues you might like to include in your message are:
· Thanks to a container deposit scheme that has been operating successfully for over 30 years, South Australians currently recycle more than 80 per cent of their recyclable containers seeing the virtual disappearance of container litter.
· New data shows the national the recycling rate of beverage containers is about 40% – down from the 48% claimed in the Packaging Regulatory Impact Statement. It’s the biggest problem in packaging.
· The failure to do a financial analysis that reveals the financial impacts on industry and consumers, when previous research has shown CDS will cost half a cent a container.
· The failure of the RIS to include the financial benefits of more jobs and extra non-container materials going to CDS drop-off centres.
· The RIS treats theoretical industry options such as more bins and advertising as having the same validity as proven schemes such as a CDS. A major problem also found by ABARE in its peer review of the RIS.
· CDS is the only way to quickly and sustainably remove an extra 4 billion beverage containers a year from the litter and landfill streams and build a network of recycling depots around Australia.
· The best container recycling system in the world will only cost half a cent a container and environment ministers should stop doing studies and implement it.
· Every day the Commonwealth delays a national container deposits system another 9 million recyclable beverage containers go into landfill.
· A National Container Deposit Scheme will double the recycling rate, clean up the litter, create jobs and reduce pollution and provide a system for better waste management for other goods, such as e-waste and batteries.
Written submissions should be sent by 30 March 2012 to: SCEW.Secretariat@environment.gov.au

Parents, please take a moment to mark your calendars. The following are important dates that you do not want to miss:
The following is a list of upcoming chapel dates and times:
Wednesday was a really special day in Lower School. We had a wonderful picnic behind the Lower School building to culminate our Celebrate America unit. Mrs. Philbin (mom of Micah-3rd, Liam-6th, and Lauren-8th) took class pictures to help commemorate this fun event.
We ended the day with a patriotic showcase of songs and presentations to honor those who served and continue to serve our country in the military. We are proud of those who serve to protect our country!
KPrep students spent a morning exploring and experiencing farm activities! We dressed like farmers, made and ate a farm breakfast, had hayrides, ran a hay bale obstacle course, made butter, sorted eggs and gourds, milked a “cow”, shucked fresh corn, and created farm crafts! It was a wonderful time for both our students and our many parent volunteers!
Do not miss our upcoming Uniform Resale. Our Parent Association will host the next uniform resale on Tuesday, November 15th from 7:45am to 9:30am. We have a change in location for this sale. It will be located in Lower School Room 213. This is a great opportunity to stock up on uniform items to help get through those Spring growth spurts!
We’re excited to share that our school now has access to an extensive video library called RightNow Media. It’s the “Netflix of Video Bible Studies” and has a HUGE library of faith-based videos that you can access whenever and wherever you want—on your phone, iPad, computer, or at home on your TV.

Click below for a copy of the BOOK CAMP log.
This is just a friendly reminder that students may be dropped off beginning at 7:30AM. If you arrive to school prior to that time, we request that students remain with their parents until 7:30AM. The library and the gym are open at that time. Student supervision does not begin until that time.

Burst Pipe Repair
A burst pipe is a plumbing emergency! Stop now and call us for fast, reliable and efficient emergency repair so you can get back to your routine with the least disruption possible.
When you have a pipe to burst in your home, it can be a scary experience. Water running in places that it is not supposed to be can be quite a frightening experience. When that sort of thing happens, you cannot panic. The water damage can increase with every extra second that you wait to get a repair done.
What You Should Do
It is wise for you to turn off the water at the box outside your home and wait for assistance, and the best place to get that assistance is from McAtee LLC. We are the best in the business when it comes to major plumbing trouble.
If you have a burst pipe in your yard, we can repair or replace the pipe without having to dig a gigantic trench in your front lawn. If you have a burst pipe in a wall, we will take out as little of the wall as possible so that we can get to and fix the pipe.
Because we do this sort of thing often, we are also expert in replacing the drywall that we remove so you can quickly paint it and move on with your life. No one wants to have a hole in their wall, and we don’t want to leave your home in worse shape than we found it.
Also, keep in mind that we can solve piping problems that might be caused by faulty parts. At times, there were types of pipe that we used often and became faulty later on. We can get around that problem as well in the hopes that you won’t have another issue in the future. | <urn:uuid:16b565a4-8979-4ae6-a1fa-6338e8446974> | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | http://www.mcateellc.com/services/burst-pipe-repair/ | 2019-04-20T10:15:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-18/segments/1555578529606.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20190420100901-20190420122901-00407.warc.gz | en | 0.974363 | 352 |

Some males’s kinds blended the sensuality and expressiveness despite the conservative trend, the growing homosexual-rights motion and an emphasis on youth allowed for a new freedom to experiment with fashion, materials comparable to wool crepe, which had previously been associated with girls’s apparel was utilized by designers when creating male clothes.
These nationwide kinds remained very completely different until a counter-motion in the 17th to 18th centuries imposed comparable kinds once once more, principally originating from Ancien Régime France thirteen Though the wealthy normally led fashion, the growing affluence of early modern Europe led to the bourgeoisie and even peasants following trends at a distance, however still uncomfortably close for the elites – an element that Fernand Braudel regards as one of the foremost motors of adjusting vogue.

Recently my car started burning engine oil and throwing p0420 error, current odometer reading is at 262k miles. Initially I thought it was O2 sensor and catalytic convertor, I was planning to change them both…by accident I found out that when I open both the engine and gas tank cap, the check engine light disappears, it stayed like that for about 400 miles and came back on after that. I kept on doing the little trick from the last 3000 miles, and read on one of the forums that pcv can cause that, I went ahead and replaced it, but the check engine light came back on. Now I am curious to find out what’s causing the check engine light. Do you guys ever come across this issue before, if so can you please let me know what you did to fix this?
Thank you in advance!!!

Hmm sounds strange because these things are usually not related, could maybe cause the ECM to recheck the values. But check the EVAP lines and other vacuum hoses to ensure there are no leaks. I would also test a catalytic converter cleaner in the tank and diagnose the catalytic converter properly before replacing itMarkDoroninCommunity MemberMay 30, 2022 at 3:11 pm

Spinach, Mushroom & Gruyere Quiche // Savta's Lemon Bars
San Francisco loves the b-word. Brunch is a staple activity in the lives of city dwellers – an experience as over the top as it is expensive, as dreaded by chefs as it is adored by literally everyone else. Dutiful patrons wait in line for hours in pursuit of bottomless mimosas, lox eggs benny, and the like. Before you know it, it’s 2PM, morale is low, and you’re ready to take extreme measures to get to the top of that list. Bribery is an option. So is identity theft. But the real question is, how can we make “Jasmine, party of 6” disappear?
Then, you come back to earth. Brunch is supposed to be lighthearted and delicious, not vengeful and conniving! What is it about the promise of cornmeal pancakes or seasonal flatbreads or anything remotely brunchy that brings out the worst in us? Desperation? Greed? I don’t like seeing that part of me come out, but I also really like brunch.
Simple solution? In the wise words of the Pinterest community, “do it yourself!” Here’s why:
There’s no wait when you brunch at home.
You can finally order everything on the menu, because you made the menu.
The drinks are as strong as you want them to be.
PJs are an acceptable wardrobe decision.
There’s no guilt in taking your sweet, sweet time.
Now, I admit that there’s something seriously plush about chocolate chip pancakes magically appearing before your very eyes, eating until you can’t eat anymore, and then having your plate whisked away at the wave of a hand. Under certain circumstances (most often the hung over ones), this kind of thing has its place. But under most circumstances (even some hung over ones) you’re probably better off taking matters into your own hands.
Such was my decision this weekend, when I had brunch plans with some lovely ladies I went to high school with. We had a lot to catch up on, and anxiously standing in line before aggressively shoveling fried potatoes into our faces didn’t seem like the ideal setting. So, I took to the kitchen and made us a brunch worthy of Thrillest SF’s top brunch list.
The formula to the perfect brunch is as follows: sweet + savory + bubbly + caffeine.
You want something elaborate enough to put your weekday peanut butter toast to shame, but simple enough that you can throw it together under that haze of whatever happened the night before. In my case, that involved going to the Symphony (because I’m a classy lady)…followed by drinking a lot of beer at a dive bar (because I’m actually not).
You also want something pretty, because if brunch isn’t pretty, it’s pointless. This is one of life’s simple truths.
What’s better than bottomless mimosas? Sabering your champagne bottle, that’s what! It’s the best party trick in the book and will make you look very, very cool. This is a proven fact.
Other facts that were proven this weekend are that quiche is the best food on the planet and that all desserts should be lemon bars.
Let’s start with quiche. There is simply no combination more perfect than flaky piecrust, stinky cheese, rich cream, and fresh vegetables. The inside is fluffy and springy. When eaten fresh, each forkful trails stringy cheese from the slice behind it. Simply put, it’s pure decadence and I want to eat it every day for the rest of my life.
These lemon bars are sweet and sour with a nice buttery cookie bottom and a gooey custard top. They don’t hold their form like many I’ve had, but what good is dessert if you can’t lick your fingers?? I’ve recently become less inclined toward super sweet things (ew, adulthood), but these are a different story. They’re all at once indulgent and refreshing – the perfect dessert to accompany your morning, noon, and night.
The point to all of this is that brunch is a very important meal. It sounds silly, but it really is a special occasion – a tradition that you only get once, maybe twice a week. So take your time with it! And don’t spend that time waiting in line for an overpriced meal. Spend every waking hour of brunch in the presence of good drinks, better food, and great friends.
Spinach, Mushroom & Gruyere Quiche
1 frozen unbaked pie crust
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups spinach, chopped
1 cup mushrooms of your choice, chopped
1 ½ cups half and half cream
1 cup grated Gruyere
Salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Pierce the bottom of the piecrust a few times with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool. Turn the oven down to 350ºF.
Heat the butter in a large skillet. Sautee the spinach and mushrooms until spinach is wilted and mushrooms are tender. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Stir in the spinach, mushrooms, and cheese and add a bit of salt and pepper.
Place the pie crust on a cookie sheet and gently pour in the egg mixture until it reaches the very top. Carefully place the cookie sheet in the oven. Bake at 350ºF for 40-50 minutes. The top should be slightly browned. Let cool for at least 20 minutes to allow the eggs to set before serving in slices.
Tips from America’s Test Kitchen:
Partially pre-baking the piecrust prevents the base of the crust from being soggy and doughy.
They found that baking the quiche at 350ºF keeps the veggies from becoming rubbery while allowing the egg custard to cook slowly and the top to become slightly browned.
Placing the crust on a cookie sheet before pouring the filling prevents messy spills in and out of the oven.
Savta’s Lemon Bars
This recipe belongs to my Savta (grandmother in Hebrew). She is a gift to earth from the baking gods, so this recipe is close to perfection.
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
3 cups + ½ cup flour
½ cup confectioner’s sugar
4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup + 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
Preheat the oven to 300ºF.
Using a hand or stand mixer, combine butter, 3 cups flour, and confectioner’s sugar until dough holds its shape when squeezed together. Press into the bottom of a 14”X8” baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
While cookie base is baking, beat the eggs and granulated sugar for one minute. Add lemon juice and zest and combine.
In a separate bowl, combine remaining ½ cup flour and baking powder. Add to lemon mixture in batches, combining well between each addition.
Pour lemon custard over cookie base. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool completely before serving. | <urn:uuid:52d58046-0be2-4bca-af05-c5f5c341ee01> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.thepantryraid.net/feed/2015/04/spinach-mushroom-gruyere-quiche-savtas-lemon-bars | 2019-09-15T17:58:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514572235.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190915175150-20190915201150-00262.warc.gz | en | 0.932035 | 1,563 |

Fans who have been wondering about the status of the Breaking Bad film finally have some news: apparently, it’s already filmed.
Spin-off Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk has given a minor update about the film already being shot. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Odenkirk brought up that he really wanted to talk about it, but wasn’t sure who knew what. He did note, however, that he was impressed that the whole thing had been filmed in secret.
Given the film is set to continue Jesse Pinkman’s story following the exhilarating series finale, his actor Aaron Paul is already confirmed to be attached to the film, but with a lot of ambiguity surrounding Walter White’s fate, it’s not clear if star actor Bryan Cranston will be returning. The actor has previously stated that he would love to return if more was done with Walter, but as we know next to nothing about this film, we can’t say if he’ll be present.
AMC’s Breaking Bad ended its critically acclaimed five-season run with a finale that brought in a series record 10.3 million viewers. It was followed by the prequel series Better Call Saul, focused on Bob Odenkirk’s small-time lawyer Jimmy McGill, which just got renewed for a fifth season.
The Breaking Bad movie has been shot and is expected to premiere on AMC and Netflix sometime next year. We’ll be on alert for any more concrete details.

Early Promotions Drive Record Online Sales for Thanksgiving, Fuels Black Friday Retail Surge, Reports IBM
Mobile Commerce Exceeds 16 Percent of Online Sales, led by the iPad
By: PR Newswire
Nov. 24, 2012 11:39 AM
ARMONK, N.Y., Nov. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- According to IBM (NYSE: IBM), US shoppers once again took advantage of early promotions this holiday season, driving a 17.4 percent increase in online sales Thanksgiving Day. This increase set the stage for 20.7 percent growth on Black Friday. The biggest surge came from mobile consumers, with sales reaching 16.3 percent, led by the iPad. This data is the result of cloud-based analytics findings from IBM.
As part of IBM's Smarter Commerce initiative, the IBM Digital Analytics Benchmark revealed the following trends as of 12:00 am PST:
"This year's holiday shopper was hungry for great deals and retailers didn't disappoint, rolling out compelling offers which consumers gobbled up on Thanksgiving straight through Black Friday," said Jay Henderson, Strategy Director, IBM Smarter Commerce. "The big winners were chief marketing officers who used technology to deliver customer experiences that not only connected shoppers with personalized deals but did so at the right touchpoint and at precisely the right time and place, whether on their couch or the store floor."
"To remain relevant, retailers must find opportunities to participate in holiday rituals in ways that aid consumers' attainment of the holidays they imagine -- enjoying time with family and shopping when convenient," said Tonya Bradford Assistant Professor, Mendoza School of Business, the University of Notre Dame. "Technology provides more opportunities for retailers to create these experiences for consumers through their mobile computing devices."
Holiday sales growth was led by several industries which include:
Today's news is based on findings from the IBM Digital Analytics Benchmark, the industry's only cloud-based Web analytics platform that tracks more than a million e-commerce transactions a day, analyzing terabytes of raw data from 500 retailers nationwide.
Analysis of public social media content came from the IBM Social Sentiment Index, an advanced analytics and natural language processing tool that analyzes large volumes of social media data to assess public opinions. With this data IBM helps chief marketing officers (CMOs) better understand and respond to the needs of each individual customer, improving sourcing, inventory management, marketing, sales and services programs.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld AA Best Comfort Guy ;)
I believe this is a good strategy - however, be sure the focus is for the right reasons.
People don't put trust into web sites - they put trust into the company, person, or people that work behind the scenes.
This isn't to say that no one buys from a web site... just that the more personable you make the site the more people will trust.
90% of all products purchased online - are purchased by 10% of the online using market.
This means that the majority of the remaining 90% for one reason or another are not comfortable with online purchasing -- and lots of room to improve.
Effective use of your image can help - but think ahead.
If you are the owner, and sole person of the company - announcing this does help build trust.
Sale/item pages should have a customer service person, if a support section; a support person.
Company info pages (about us) should have an office administrator.
But the office administrator - will not help to get visitors in the buying mood, this would be more for, returns (policy), privacy (policy), maybe affiliated programs, and founding info about the company. Thus if this is yourself (the owner) your image here will likely not produce more sales.
In addition, the same person on every page (or in every section of the site) looks strange.
A customer service person is preceived differently than an administrator or support person.
A few small images, noting their title and if a real company employee even a name will produce much more than none at all.
Will it make a difference to someone who already buys -- probable not (they already buy without needing that personability) but it will improve the chance of non-purchaser purchasing.

|I am thinking about placing a picture of myself ( the owner) online |
If it didn't violate the TOS, AA, you could post a pic URL and we could all vote! Failing that, you might try one of the HotOrNot-type sites & see if you score above 5. (Hey, there's an idea... Am-I-Trustworthy-Or-Not.com!) ;)
Seriously, I think a photo of the owner is a great idea. It humanizes the site and gives customers a feeling that there's someone real behind the HTML.
When I was in the catalog biz, we always included a Letter from the President with a photo. We often included group staff photos, or sometimes sprinkled individual staff photos, perhaps with one-line quotes, around the catalog. All of this served to add some human interaction to an otherwise sterile envirinment.
Beyond the photo, I'd suggest including a quote from you reiterating your satisfaction guarantee (if any) or at least your commitment to your customers. Also, if you can build up your expert credentials, that will further enhance your site's credibility. ("After working in the bedding industry for 15 years, and negotiating hundreds of deals with the top manufacturers, I knew I could deliver a better product for less money...") People love stories like that, so don't be afraid if your copy runs a bit long. If they don't want to read it, they'll skip it. Pull out a key point or two into big type.
Your instincts are right, AA, go for it!

Count one more vote for putting a name with a face. Many of the client's I have dealt with are large operations, yet their sites and copy on the sites lead visitors to believe they were small in size.
To reiterate other's points above, you simply feel more comfortable knowing who is behind the scenes of an operation like that.
| 2:00 pm on Mar 3, 2003 (gmt 0)|
Unless you are runway model - and even then...
You will ALWAYS, ALWAYS find people who dislike something about your face, and will turn them away.
| 2:08 pm on Mar 3, 2003 (gmt 0)|
>You will ALWAYS, ALWAYS find people who dislike something about your face, and will turn them away.
Not when you´re as good-looking as I am! ;)
Its got to be said that I have seen some sites that have truely awful pictures of the owners on them.
Ie, car sales sites with some smug owner on front of it. Do you trust this person? Well, no......
But, I think in AA's case (targeting a more expensive product), a photo on the site could be done tastelfully and would add to the overall professionalism too.
| 2:17 pm on Mar 3, 2003 (gmt 0)|
How's the site doing?
If i ain't broke...don't fix it.
| 2:26 pm on Mar 3, 2003 (gmt 0)|
In response to Tapolyai, I don't think it's necessary to have a GQ or Vogue-level appearance. However, it IS important to convey an image appropriate to your business, and to project an open, friendly image. Have a professional shoot the photo (casual shots and shots in your business environment will probably work better than an obvious studio portrait). Look straight into the camera so as not to look shifty to your customers.
| 3:23 pm on Mar 3, 2003 (gmt 0)|
Ok, after rogerd's comments, I checked out your site, and ... still - I suggest you do not put your own picture up... Although if you do, the best place would be on your "greeting from the president" page instead of the geese picture. You might also want to drop a few hundred $ for professional pictures instead of you trying to hack it up in Paint... ;)
Forget the whole thing if I am looking at the wrong site.
(BTW there is a miss-spell - it's "...and not bred as...")
| 3:48 pm on Mar 3, 2003 (gmt 0)|
I checked out the site related to your screen name and I agree with Tap that the "greeting" page would be a good place. I'd consider sticking in a small head shot as an inset. (With all the stuff on the slow-loading home page, though, I don't know how many people will find the "greeting" page.)
Off-the-wall marketing idea: If you really wanted to go out on a limb, you could stick in a pic of you holding a goose (assuming you can drug one so it doesn't bite you ;)) with the big flock in the background. This would really show you know your down or feathers or whatever, unlike the "suits" who never leave their office. (Except for geese farmers, who would probably think you were crazy... ;) We have wild geese in our area, and they are rather nasty. Very territorial... when a golfer goes missing, we presume the geese pecked him to death & ate him. It's also very evident where the expression, "Like **** through a goose" comes from. :))
| 4:12 pm on Mar 3, 2003 (gmt 0)|
To reply to the original issue (photo of owner ... Y/N) I'd also say 'yes'.
But be careful. I remember a discussion (elsewhere) on this issue and more than one female contributor commented on the danger of stalkers. And they weren't talking about a response to glamour photos either, just everyday businesswomen who couldn't put their professional-looking head'n'shoulders photos online because of creeps who would use the site's contact details to pester them.
The other issue would be the sort of image you want to project. In some sectors, posing in front of your Ferrari conveys an image of success and accomplishment and customers 'like dealing with a winner'. But in other markets the same image might turn people off ("that smug rich guy's more interested in his own take than providing value for money").
| 7:09 pm on Mar 4, 2003 (gmt 0)|
Good point, quiet_man. If your stockbroker is driving a Yugo, maybe it's time to look for a new one; ditto for your plumber if he has a Lexus. :)
| 1:35 am on Mar 5, 2003 (gmt 0)|
i would put my pic on my site, but people say i look like a thug. if i wear a suit i look like a bouncer. not very welcoming really.
and this talk of photos online reminds me of that turkish bloke that became famous for his mugshot a couple of years ago. "I KISS YOU". anyone else remember it?
story from november 99 (most links on the page are dead)
recent update from june 2002 including link to copy of original site
i guess if you're gonna put your face online, do it right and get some decent publicity ..... mahir did it right.
| 8:55 pm on Mar 5, 2003 (gmt 0)|
You mean I shouldn't put this image up as my photo?
| 1:49 am on Mar 7, 2003 (gmt 0)|
Gather all your friends, in their best clothes, go find a 10,000 square foot warehouse and do a group shot.
That will instill confidence.

Hack your competitor's site and stick the picture of that Al-Qaeda honcho they caught in Pakistan a few days ago...four days beard (over 98% of his body) and wearing a tee shirt.
My wife insists it looks like me at 6:00AM!
| 10:41 pm on Mar 18, 2003 (gmt 0)|
I believe a human face always adds value to a website... I recommened posting the picture with a personal letter speaking to your clients.

We spent there one night paying 110 € for a double room without breakfast. We felt that this price was not worth for what was offered: Poor bed which was not adequate as a double bed. After we had complained, a larger mattress was put on top, which however was hard to sleep on with a smaller mattress below. (Of course I can cope with that, however paying 110€ for this is poor.) The room was used also as a store room for a large massage couch. We got neither a key for our room nor a key for the front door. We were told that Internet is available, however nobody would give us the correct WIFI information. Although we were told that we do not need a key, because there is always somebody present, we could not check in to get rid of our luggage before 18:30. Would we have had the chance to see the room earlier, we surely would have looked for a different location. The main purpose of the apartment seems to be a kind of therapeutic massage praxis with patients being treated there. In addition in the entrance room there are a number of flyers on spiritual topics offered. We got no bill for our payment.

We were two parents and a 21 year old son traveling together. The location was perfect. Despite having paid our deposit nearly two months in advance, our room was not ready at 10 pm. The photos of the interior are not accurate; there was a massage table in our room. Part of the space is rented out to cranial-sacral and massage therapists, and there were brochures for a wide range of alternative treatments including sexual mastery. Our double bed had no bottom sheet, and the single sheet provided moved around in the night making for uncomfortable sleep. Our room faced a quiet courtyard, thankfully, given the reviews for a different Skindergade apartment The owner has two spacious apartments in an old building. He was often in the main living room and kitchen but it was unclear where he slept. Beautiful floors and windows. We felt secure in the building. Small shared living rooms were cozy but large front rooms ( the main photo) were discombobulated with furniture, yoga mats, umbrellas piled willy-nilly. Wi-fi was available only about 33% of the time depending on location of the router; Stefan needs to add a booster. One night there was a workshop being held in one of the large rooms which definitely did not feel like a B and B! Hakura, Inga and Martin were there along with Stefan so there appears to have been personnel turnover since the other reviews; there was no sign of Suzanne Darmer. The breakfast offered for 100K EACH is a roll, a tasty smoothie, tea, 3 pats of butter, peanut butter and jam packets and a loaf of bread (which was perhaps offered for us to take for lunches but we didn't understand that). For comparison, our 3 nights here cost 3600 DK (not including breakfast) whereas 2 nights at a Radisson Blu in Oslo (booked well in advance) cost 3790 NOK, but the Radisson included a full breakfast. Different experiences for sure!

This was a last minute find and so much better than staying in a hotel. Staying here made this such an enjoyable visit to Copenhagen. Just around the corner from the University and a range of great cafes and restaurants (try Paludans). We hope to be back again in future and would definitely recommend Old City B&B to others. Mikkel was great, very helplful and told us about a wonderful Indian restaurant (Shahi). Janet (Perth, WA).

position very central (center of the center) - pleasant atmosphere - Mikkel and Didda very kindly persons. book without hesitation. best regards, Pierpaolo & Daniela

In the expensive Copenhagen, this B&B is a great solution for people with low budget. We stayed there for a weekend and enjoyed the tasteful decoration, the great breakfast and Didda and Mikkel's availability and advice. The B&B is located right in the middle of the city center, with many restaurants, shops, and within walking distance of the metro (line 2 to the airport) and main sites.

Shia LaBeouf enters rehab after drunken behaviour and homophobic slur
Transformers actor Shia LeBeouf has reportedly entered rehab after he raucously disrupted a Broadway performance of Cabaret, hurled homophobic abuse at a police officer and got arrested.
LeBeouf who is no stranger to controversy, unleashed a drunken tirade at a recent Broadway performance of Cabaret by smoking, shouting at cast members and slapping the behinds of audience members. Needless to say this behaviour didn't go down too well and LaBeouf was taken into custody and arrested on disorderly conduct and tresspass.
The actor continued his tirade in front of police officers and security, yelling at one guard “Fuck you,” “This is fucking bullshit! Do you know my life? Do you know who the fuck I am?”
A police officer was also on the receiving end of LaBeouf's verbal rampage with the actor calling him a fag.
Just days after his arrest, the actor was allegedly seen entering an L.A. rehab clinic, probably not a bad idea considering he had previously been charged with DUI after a crash in 2008. | <urn:uuid:0a137b08-2c3b-4390-8750-5a7f0e454e52> | CC-MAIN-2014-42 | http://gaynewsnetwork.com.au/news/shia-lebouf-14323.html | 2014-10-24T16:08:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-42/segments/1414119646269.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20141024030046-00083-ip-10-16-133-185.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.976832 | 234 |

At my work from time to time I am called in for a random drug test. You know, the ones where you pee in a cup and they send it to a lab and analyze it for bad things in your body. It can be once every couple of months, or even years sometimes between pee tests. Recently however, I’ve been called in for a donation of my pee pee quite frequently, twice in a matter of three weeks to be exact. Maybe Obama just doesn’t trust me anymore? Oh well, whatever the case, I usually don’t mind, for I get to take a nice little stroll through the shipyard, observing the blend of historic structure and modern military marvel, where old World War 2 bunkers are converted into laboratories for analyzing chemical compounds, and old workshops built of brick and mortar house an array of machines that fabricate the finest technological gadgets to support the mission of the United State’s pacific naval fleet. A perfect time for life thinking, and breaking off from the monotony of office life for an hour is always a nice change-up in your routine.
I enter the pee test lobby and behind a window there is an elderly gentleman who happily greets you, the same one every time I go in to deliver the goods. And when I say gentleman, I truly mean the word gentleman, one of the last few left on this planet. Definitely a God fearing, good deed doing family man. As I look at him and I can just imagine him gathered around his grandchildren at Christmas time jolly as can be, telling stories of seasons past and the honorable heritage of their family tree, all of which are hanging on his every word, eyes glued to his in wonderment. He wears a nice long sleeve button up tucked in to a pair of wranglers sporting his favorite belt buckle, the one I’m sure he’s had ever since he was a young lad. His face is aging, slowly turning into the same material as his leather cowboy rope tie. His white angel thin hair parted across his head, the same way he has been styling it his whole life. And yet, even at 70 plus years of age, he feeds you a smile of youth, as if you were that young broad he courted at the barn dance all those years ago, sporting the same outfit, the one that has never let him down. It’s only natural to feel brightened, and send him back a smile in exchange.
And yet, this is just another day in the office, taking people’s urine and analyzing it. The work seems mundane to us, but he’s in his office working like a busy beaver, taking all the pride and joy that’s inside of him and delivering it in the form of services. The service of collecting your urine… 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. He treats his job as if it’s his passion, his reason for living; the profession that God himself has called upon him to carry out.
Imagine meeting a guy like that at a dinner party and everybody’s introducing themselves. “Hi, I’m steve, I’m a Optomoligist,” or “Hello, I’m an engineer.” “Paul’s my name, I own the general store down the street.” This guys would be the man who says “Hello, I’m Dale. I’m a certified pee pee collector, available for private and public practice.” The more I talk about him, the more I want to hang out with this man. Seems like a night out on the town with him would be nothing but a good time!
“All right, c’mon back,” he says to me, waving his hand in a welcoming circular motion. He leads me to the back room where he hands me a cup and instructs on how to produce what he describes as a “good specimen.” I do as I am told, in the order he tells me. Wash the hands, enter the bathroom, and fill the cup to around the halfway mark, and if necessary, pinch it off, sending the rest of my beautifully self-produced golden waste into the toilet filled with dark blue dye.
I hand the man my sample, and that’s when he starts to work his magic, and things get really interesting. He takes out two smaller containers, the size of the old 35mm film capsules, and begins the process of filling them completely full. You would think that this would be a very delicate process, one that any normal person would take their time with and wear the proper sanitary equipment that comes with the job, aka gloves. Time nor gloves however are not resources this man has, or cares for, or needs.
He fills the first specimen tube, holding my cup of urine about a foot above the tube, in almost the same fashion as some foolish college kid tries to fill his half drank soda bottle with his favorite liquor. Now don’t lie to yourself, we’ve all been there and done that, and remember how hard of process that was and how nervous we were about spilling? There was always that unfortunate moment where a good portion of that liquor ended up on the counter, leaving us with two choices. Wipe up the mess in sorrow at the loss of perfectly drinkable booze, or suck it up like a man and zamboni it right off the table. Think of that and now imagine the same situation, except instead of pouring a little bit of whiskey into a half drank 20 ounce bottle, you’re filling a large cup of pee pee and pouring it into a tiny little specimen tube, with barely the volume of two shots. This is exactly what this man was doing… Without gloves no less! I had an underlying feeling that this stunt wasn’t going to go so well…
“Well here we go,” he said to me as he tilted the cup of urine down towards the specimen tube while I held me breath. A stream of golden liquid, recently departed from my body was leaving the cup, suspended in mid air, with only milliseconds before it hit touchdown either directly into the tube, or all over his hands and onto the floor. The suspense was killing me. It was that Aaron Rodgers to Randall Cobb 4th and 8 call against the Bears with 44 seconds left on the clock all over again.
Touchdown! The urine landed square in the middle of the tube. So far so good, but the moment was short lived as I dreadfully watched the liquid level climb up to the top of the tube. It was rising, and rising quick! He acted oblivious to the fact that he was less than a second away from a flood of urine covering his bare hands (did I mention he’s not wearing gloves during this entire process?), and all I could do is sit there and watch as the time drew closer and closer to a disaster just waiting to happen.
Just when I thought a tragedy was among us, with as much grace as the choreographed “Single Ladies” dance by Beyonce, he lowers the urine cup, tips it back, and finishes the pour, test tube filled right up to the brim, not even a millimeter of separation between the edge of the tube and the liquid. One handed, he flips the lid back into position and closes it, no urine lost or spilled. Not even a drop. I was in total amazement as I was still trying to wrap my head around what I had just seen. He literally had a brush with death, and by some miracle, he was still standing, his clothes and body free of my warm bodily projection.
“Ok, now for the second one,” he said to me with in a chipper tone, delivering a slight chuckle afterwards as he flipped off the cap of the second specimen tube and prepared for the pour. He raised the first urine sample towards me, now completely capped off, as if he were about to give a toast.
“Oh no, not again!” I thought to myself. That first time was luck. There was no way he was going to be able to handle another pour like that without some type of backlash. But sure enough, with the same level of confidence and ease, he started his pour a foot above the specimen tube, filled it at a rapid pace, and stopped just in time for the urine to fill completely to the brim. No miss pours, no straggling drops or a spraying of debris, nothing. Again, he capped the specimen tube one-handed, and that was it. A few signatures from me and those babies were off to be analyzed!
It was at that moment, seeing both specimens capped off ready for delivery, that I knew I was in the presence of greatness. This could be possibly the best pee pee tester on the face of the Earth. He just made it look so easy, as if pee testing is second nature to him, like riding a bike, or eating a slice of pecan pie. No doubt the Kanye West of urine testing, maybe even better. He was that freaking good. I wanted to shake his hand right then and there, but something stopped me. I looked at him as he went through the necessary pee handling procedures, filling out the necessary paperwork, dumping the leftovers, interacted with the other donors in the room; I felt like I didn’t have the honor of shaking a man’s hand like that, at least not in this environment. Besides, I hadn’t even washed my hands yet after going to the bathroom, so a handshake would be considered a little rude at that point. Maybe someday, I’ll gain enough respect to shake the man’s hand. Hopefully someday soon, before he retires… That is, if he retires. Few men that are true masters of their profession never really retire or stop what they do. I hope to be among one of those men someday.
And as I walked back to my office, I couldn’t help but think to myself, “How does a man get into a position like that? Becoming a professional pee tester?” I imagine during career day at school he didn’t go up and tell the class “When I grow up, I’m going to play around with people’s pee pee.” Maybe he did, but I find it highly unlikely. It at least wassn’t my top career choice in school. I mean, judging from events in our adolescent years, Ben Woodward may have thought about that as a viable career path once or twice, for he was the most comfortable around that type of stuff (so it seemed). But still, think it was a long shot even for him, or maybe a back-up plan. And that’s saying a lot, cause that kid is a one in a million, and pretty wacko in the head!
But regardless of what Ben’s career aspirations were, over time with every trade, you develop skills, and for extracting other people’s urine 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 30 (maybe 40) plus years, I’d say you’re going to get pretty damn good at the job. That probably explains how he’s able to handle other people’s urine with the amount of ease and comfort that he does, as if it he was holding his newly born grandchild, or as if I was serenading a couple boundary babes in some exotic locale with a beautiful sunset shining over a landscape consisting of lush forest and pristine lake front.
I can just envision what they’ll say at his funeral (God Forbid). “Here lies George (or whatever his name is), father of 4, husband to 1, and the greatest pee test man the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard has ever had the pleasure working with. He will forever be remembered as the admirable man who poured urine specimens, over and over again, to keep us out of trouble and protect us from harmful toxins that could inhibit our work ability and destroy our family life.” Those in attendance would nod their head in approval, knowing that he was the best in the business, and that he touched their hearts every time he sent their donation to the lab, caring for their safety every step of the way, and performing the work that no other man would do, the tough job that could make you an enemy very quickly in the eyes of the ungrateful. Never the less, he did it because it had to be done, by someone… The best, all for his fellow brethren. I hope I’ll be among those in attendance, reminding me that his legendary spirit will live on through the shipyard, long after all of us are gone.
I’m thinking a typical donor takes about 5 to 10 minutes total to complete the process of making their donation to the pee test man, so in a typical day, he could probably be handling about 50 unique urine samples easy. That’s nearly 500 a week, and well over 1000 in a month. A professional like that, given the right circumstances could very well hold over a million different types of pee pee in his hand over his life-time. To me, that is a mind-blowing stat, and a bit of an accomplishment. Who else could say that they’ve done something like that? He’s truly the best pee tester in the game. Even Richard Sherman couldn’t quite match a feat like that, and he wouldn’t even have to announce it over national television! He just let’s his work speak for himself and leaves the rest of us in awe.
So every now and then, I get called back to the same room, where the same old man with the same old cowboy rope tie sits and administers a pee test. I hand him my sample, thinking to myself, “Is this the time he’s going to finally spill on himself? I don’t want him to. Honestly, I’m rooting for the guy, but his luck’s got to be running out.” And with the same elegance he’s had throughout his whole government career, he proves me wrong, filling the cup straight up to the brim, no gloves, no splash, no problem. He’s never made a mistake the dozen or so times I’ve visited to deliver my sample and I’ve never heard a peep from any of my other colleges around the office of him spilling. And believe me, if he would’ve screwed up, I would’ve heard about it. That’s just the way gossip works in my office, just like any other office in the American business front.
I truly believe with all my heart that not only is he one of the most tremendous pee testers known to man, but an honest to heart great man, the Vince Lombardi type, the ones who strive for greatness each and every day, while always finding ways to improve their technique and work, to keep them at the level of the best, now and forever.
I can say with all credibility that it’s a privilege, and an honor to donate my pee to that man. He’s just that damn good, and watching people at that skill level working at their craft leaves you in awe and inspired. If I could be just half as good at writing than he is at pee testing, you’d see me on the New York Times Best-Seller list every month.
Upon writing this entry, I’m truly looking forward to the next pee test, and dread the day where I enter the office he’s not there, replaced by some young klutz with a skull full of mush trying to administer a pee test. He’s going to pour pee all over himself! I know it! It’s going to be terrible! And I’m just going to stand there shaking my head in disapproval, for he will never reach the level that man has reached, and will probably end up quitting his job, unable to perform his duties at the quality of his former. What a sad day that will be, a day that will live in infamy for the employees of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
I hope and pray that there will be at least a couple more pee tests with that man at the helm. There’s got to be. It’s what he does, what he was born to do, what the legends will speak of for generations to come.
Until next time Mr. pee test man… Until next time. | <urn:uuid:4ef62a30-bb50-47dd-80bc-e9baeb73676a> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://grizzlychadams.com/2014/01/27/the-professional-pee-tester/ | 2021-10-27T22:57:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588244.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027212831-20211028002831-00619.warc.gz | en | 0.976814 | 3,475 |
Dropbox has updated Dropbox for iOS with a photo browser, smoother uploads, and a new look. All very nice touches, I think
Via the The Dropbox Blog:
New photos experience
Now all of your photos are right at your fingertips with the brand new Photos tab. With just a tap, you’ll be able to scroll through a timeline of all the photos you’ve automatically uploaded (including the pocket-dialed ones too). And since Dropbox is a one stop shop for all your memories, you can also check out the photos you’ve uploaded from everywhere else!
I gave the new photo browser a quick try (I take so many photos, I’ve had to keep how many photos are stored in Dropbox to a minimum), and it is a nice change from the old look. At first I thought the automatic photo upload was gone (it’s a crucial part of my workflow), but it’s just hidden when it’s not active. Nice touch Dropbox!
Dropbox is, as you know, essential to how I use my Mac and mobile devices. It’s a tertiary backup location, file transfer service, and general archive of that I need to work. If you’re not using Dropbox, start! Sign up here (yes, I get a wee more free space too) and then download Dropbox from the App Store.Like this post?

CHICAGO - American Airlines and United Airlines have raised some domestic fares by as much as $5 each way, even as jet fuel prices this year have fallen sharply.
UAL Corp. unit United's $5 each-way increase Thursday covered all markets, except where it competes with Southwest Airlines Corp.
American, a unit of AMR Corp., raised fares the same day by $3 to $5 each way, based on the length of the flight. American said fare hikes were only on routes that compete with discount carriers.
On Friday, Delta Air Lines Corp. and Northwest Airlines Corp. also raised fares.
In a report Friday, analyst Jamie Baker at J.P. Morgan said the United plan is likely to "stick," with other airlines following suit.
This first fare increase by major carriers in 2007 comes after a series of fare hikes last year. Tim Wagnor, a spokesman for American, said the higher ticket prices were in "our most competitive markets, where fares haven't increased as much as in other markets."
Airlines also have gotten a break from falling jet fuel prices. Baker said spot prices on jet fuel closed at $1.62 per gallon Thursday, implying that carriers' net fuel cost, on average, is about $1.72 per gallon.

Back to Home Page or Contents or Persian Mythology or Article Index
This deity was originally called Ahura, "the lord," and perhaps was connected to Mithra, the ruler of the time, before being elevated to the position of supreme being in the Persian religion by the prophet Zoroaster (see Zoroastrianism), and then he acquired the epithet Mazdah, "wise." Although the Indo-European pastoralists settled on the Iranian plateau derived their gods from the same pantheon as the Aryan conquers of India, the course of their religious development was entirely different. While the Indian mind sought a unifying principle within a multiplicity of gods, in Persia the monistic tendency moved toward a universal monotheism under the direction of Zoroaster.
Fire was conceived to be the symbol of truth, which Ahura Mazdah bestowed on his followers. Light was opposed to darkness, and associated with truth and righteousness, asha. In the myth of Atar, the fire of the sky and Ahura Mazdah's son, there is a struggle with Azhi Dahaka, the three-headed dragon, who had usurped the earthly throne. His rule brought "need and misery, hunger and thirst, old age and death, mourning and lamentation, excessive heat and cold, and the intermingling of demons and men." Atar overcame the dragon, who was either consigned "to the bottom of the deep ocean" or chained on a high mountain. But Azhi Dahaka was destined to escape at the end of the world and destroy a third of humankind, before he was slain. The divine fire, the spark indwelling in humankind, was the symbol of Ahura Mazdah, and in fire-temples the flame burns perpetually indicating his presence.
Ahura Mazdah is thought to be a god of prophetic revelation, the sole deity revealing himself to a traditionally polytheistic society not yet ready to receive the totality of his message. The Zoroastrianism of the Persian kings accommodated existing religious practices, not least because it was controlled by a religious caste, the magi, with which it previously had nothing to do. Once the followers of this prophet realized that the establishment on earth of a righteous kingdom was impossible in the present cycle of world ages, the way was open for Persian mythology to evolve a thorough dualism, with the source of evil being increasingly personified. Finally two absolute rivals emerged: these were Ahriman, the master of deceit, and Ohrmazd, a contraction of Ahuramazdah, and in the ranks of their hostile host room was made for the gods whom Zoroaster tried to abolish. A.G.H.

As a Director, expect me to ask nuanced questions about the financial impact of acquisitions, divestitures and strategies, as well as to challenge governance proposals that will not lead to improved financial performance. But I will always champion proposals that will maximize enterprise value.
I am responsive, knowledgeable, creative and practical. My interpersonal skills include a natural affinity for cultivating relationships and building consensus among diverse individuals and constituencies.
Please see my resume for specifics.
Independent Directors, in corporate governance, refers to those members of a board of directors who do not have a material relationship with the company. They are not part of its executive management team and not involved in the day-to-day operations of the company. Directors are required to follow mandated/recommended governance standards while also serving as guardians of long-term corporate performance.
The term is defined by the NYSE and the NASDAQ as follows:
NYSE: “Independent director” is one who the board “affirmatively determines” has no “materiality relationship” with the company “either directly or as a partner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company.”
NASDAQ: ““Independent director” is one who is not an executive officer or employee of the company, and who, in the board’s opinion, has no relationship which would “interfere with the exercise of independent judgment” in carrying out director responsibilities.”
In privately held businesses, the ownership and makeup of the board of directors are identical or nearly so. An independent director can assure all stakeholders that the board can and will exercise its duties of care and loyalty. And where a board might otherwise be unable to approve a transaction with an existing stakeholder, the fully informed independent director can serve to “sanitize” such a related party transaction.
Possessing extensive experience in Distressed M&A, I am well versed with the process of selling a business in whole or in parts, on an accelerated timeline.
No, however, “iron sharpens iron.” Board certification and training organizations, such as the National Association of Corporate Directors and the Private Directors Association, provide continuous learning opportunities and equip their certified professionals and members with the latest research and resources. These organizations are respected and recognized as authorities on board leadership. | <urn:uuid:1e04b073-0a3f-44d6-99b7-374e398a95d4> | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | https://michaelponeil.com/frequently-asked-questions/ | 2022-05-18T02:55:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-21/segments/1652662521041.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20220518021247-20220518051247-00413.warc.gz | en | 0.96164 | 653 |
Rembrandt Casino Review
Rembrandt Casino might sound like a fancy artsy casino, but when we entered the site we were met with a relaxed fox presenting the welcome bonus offer. The online casino was launched a couple of years back in 2013 and has been growing since. Read our review to learn why it is one of few online casinos where players can enjoy both sports betting and casino games.
About Rembrandt Casino in Canada
First licensed in Malta by the Malta Gaming Authority, the Rembrandt casino is operated by Condor Malta Ltd, a company that is behind several casino sites. Although the casino is riding on the famous name, they have a site that offers pretty good casino gameplay and a large variety of it. We’re going to take a closer look at the casino games and odds on offer as well as the welcome bonus available as we delve deeper into this Rembrandt casino review.
The Rembrandt casino is an online casino site with a fully comprehensive game offering. Here, Canadian players can enjoy all types of casino games as well as sports betting. You’ll also find a great welcome offer to start off your casino adventure. What type of bonus offer you get is up to you, they have two casino bonuses for new players, one can be used on sports and the other on slots. Check them out below.
Rembrandt Casino Pros and Cons
When trying out Rembrandt Casino here are some pros and cons we came across.
Over 2500 casino games
Sports or casino welcome deposit bonus
Easy to navigate with much relevant information
Lots of ongoing promotions
Smaller bonus for sports
Cryptocurrencies not accepted
Casino players from Canada will be happy to find a new destination for online gambling, Rembrandt casino has anything one might ask for in a casino. You can find odds on Canadian sports markets and international markets too, jackpot slots and other games for your enjoyment. With a base in Malta, an island that has gained a highly regarded status among gambling companies, they are certain to acquire important collaborations with software providers of quality.
Rembrandt Casino Welcome Bonus
Should you want to know how it feels to gamble alongside Rembrandt, you’d first need to register an account with the site. To sign up you simply have to follow these steps:
- Click “Sign up”
- Fill in your details as prompted
- Verify your email
- Make a deposit
- Choose your bonus offer
- Start your gaming adventure!
As you see, the registration process is similar to the one on most other sites. After logging into your Rembrandt casino account you might want to get some casino bonuses to get started. Here, we’ll take a look at the larger of the two bonus offers available.
Players from Canada can get a Rembrandt casino bonus that consists of a 100% match up to $300 on their first payment. All in all, that would give you a maximum of $600 to play with.
To activate your bonus you must slide the bar to “ON” when making your first deposit, this way it gets activated together with your payment. The bonus terms and conditions do not state a minimum deposit to qualify for the offer but as the minimum deposit allowed on the site is $10, you must still deposit at least $10 to get access.
Wagering requirements are set to x30 the bonus + deposit before completion. This means a total of $600 to wager on a deposit of $10 (10+10=20, 20×30=600). A really nice thing about Rembrandt casino is that they offer the chance to cash out in advance of completing the wagering. You can choose to pay out the amount that you’ve already successfully wagered. This way players funds are not locked in until you complete the wagering, it’s called the “Buy-off option”.
Casino Welcome Bonus
Rembrandt Casino Sports Welcome Bonuses
What’s common in Canada is the keen interest in sports, ice hockey, lacrosse, football, you name it. Along with this interest comes sports betting, the chance to predict your winners gains the interest of many. Rembrandt Casino has a sports welcome bonus too.
Punters can expect a Rembrandt welcome bonus of 100% extra up to $150 on their first deposit. It’s quite a nice offer that’s available, especially when keeping in mind the “Buy-off option”. To qualify for the offer, the same goes for the minimum deposit here, deposit $10 to qualify.
The sports offer can only be used on the odds markets offered, so you won’t be able to combine casino gameplay with sports. For this bonus offer, a wagering requirement of x8 the bonus + deposit is set and the minimum odds accepted to count into the turnover requirements is 1.80.
Players looking to get max from this will have to wager a total of $2,400 (150+150=300, 300×8=2,400) before cashing out. But bear in mind that the buy-off applies here as well if you’d like to withdraw your funds in advance. We have to say it’s really nice from the guys behind Rembrandt casino.
Check full bonus T’s and C’s to learn more about the buy-off option as well as full bonus terms.

Rembrandt Casino FAQs
Here is a selection of the most common questions we get asked about Rembrandt Casino in Canada. | <urn:uuid:9310b638-56a8-4900-8c91-cc5174d95b4c> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.ibetnetwork.com/reviews/rembrandt-casino/ | 2024-02-24T23:18:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474569.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20240224212113-20240225002113-00483.warc.gz | en | 0.941935 | 2,363 |
It would have been a lot to ask for two outstanding weeks in a row. The picture was good but carried only half the hues it had. The offshore grounds continued to yield outstanding results, but the inside was a chore with most of the drop blamed on the full moon.
The problem with inshore fishing was finding legal trout and reds. Of the latter, there were plenty of shorts (under 18 inches) but few keepers. Trout were only in modest numbers to begin with, sheepshead took a marked drop, and flounder were a rarity. Some drum continued near Matanzas but were not as prolific near the St. Augustine Inlet as they had been. Sue Glass (Devil's Elbow) reported that a few were reported in the surf near Matanzas.
She also had some good things to say about the whiting in the region, which is more than can be said about them in most other places. What had been a torrid bite to the north waned inversely to the waxing of the moon. The surf was quiet and Bill Kerr (Hook, Line and Sinker) reported that he hadn't heard anything outstanding although he still sold a lot of fresh dead shrimp. I didn't see any during my beach walks but noticed that the "whiting fleet" was trying to find a zone between the South jetty and the mouth of Salt Run. It changed daily.
Ron Joiner (County Pier) noted that the week saw intermittent whiting but all the reds caught were oversized (over 27 inches), and missing from the equation were sheepshead -- a staple for the last few weeks. Interestingly enough, Bill Moore (Sea Love) said that he sold loads of fiddler crabs but didn't have any reports to pass back.
Over the years, I've heard a number of theories as to why certain fish don't bite during the full moon, and their variety speaks to the lack of firm data. One says that the high water gives the inside species access to habitat normally inaccessible to them, such as grass flats harboring snails and crabs. Another says that the moonlight gives fish 24-hour visual feeding. A third postulates that the full moon concentrates forage fish for spawning, thus the heavy feed by predators, and yet another puts the predators having parties of their own. Then there's the soft-mouth theory where they change dining because they can't bite hard. It goes on and on. There are moon-oriented spawning cycles for sure but how they relate to a full annual cycle is the stuff of argument. I think most agree that 2-3 days before and after a full moon is the best bite of all although you are welcome to offer a counterpoint. On the other hand, I find it interesting that humans bite most (and hardest) on the full moon.
The last two weeks have probably been the best per vessel reports for red snapper (genuines) that I have had the pleasure to report. The last two years produced good numbers but now they are producing good sizes to go with them. If conservation regs are to take the bow, then it bodes well for the future. The stock is increasing, and 'mules' and 'sows' are no longer words destined for extinction.
Kerr (Hook, Line and Sinker) said that the Bacchus found success around the local reefs working the 100-foot line. Limit catches of red snapper and redeyes (vermilion snapper) filled the boxes along with a few amberjack, cobia, triggerfish, an occasional grouper. Clearly, the biggest fish are at the least picked-over sites, that is; from areas like Nine Mile -- there are a lot of shorts (under 20 inches) while the 100-foot, 21 Fathoms region produced more 10 to 20-pound fish than I expected. Point-in-case being the Endless Summer (Conch House) where they -- like Bacchus -- had a couple of trips where they limited on genuines that ranged 15 to 25 pounds. Mike O'Leary had a 41-pound cobia, according to Al Cumbie.
The Sea Love had two trips where they not only found genuines but had a couple of grouper in the 30-pound range, and twice limited on cobia (six per boat). Bill Moore reported that during a grouper bite, they lost what they suspect were several others that the fares couldn't turn. ALL reports loaded up on redeyes. Amberjacks, like cobia, varied from site to site but among the largest were a 48 pounder on the Sea Love and a 60-pounder on the Endless Summer. The Jodie Lynn II had several grouper over 30 pounds as well as genuines up to 30 pounds. The Sure Catch was good for four cobia to go with their bottom stringer of genuines, redeyes, grouper, and a few scamps; the last being my personal preference for dining. One of the Sure Catch's grouper tipped the Toledos at 50 pounds.
The good news at this time of year would normally end on the bottom at 21 Fathoms but there has been an outstanding run of sailfish and blackfin tuna taking place from the Ledge on out. It will probably stay as long as the current conditions prevail. John Lipka called to say that the ocean temperature was still 78 degrees from the Ledge on out to the Stream and they (Double Trouble under the tutelage of John Hulsey) released 28 sailfish in four days of fishing. Other reports were consistent - anglers looking for them were averaging six sails a boat by my information. Additionally, schools of blackfin tuna were in the region as evidence by those brought home on the Jodie Lynn II. They had 20 per ride for two trips. Lipka said that they spotted them on their way out but were focused on the sails.
LOCAL BOY DEPT. The winner of the youth tournament out at the County Pier was Justin Strange. His ticket to victory was one of those healthy red bass that like to patrol the area.
TRY TROLLING THIS DEPT. Al Cumbie and Kevin Henderson came across several large schools of pogies in Salt Run. The pogies measured about five inches and porpoises and pelicans were working them over arduously so they thought that they would try a few for bait. On one cast, Cumbie thought that he had a shark in his six-foot net but with great effort brought a 39 inch red into the boat. They didn't catch anything in Salt Run but the pogies were like candy to bluefish in the inlet.

Price paid: £ 200
Purchased from: Local seller 35 years back
Features: This amp was made in 1962, not quite in the first 200 but close, made in late 1962 this amp was hand built by Jim Marshall himself, then later modified by Jim as well, he later added another jack output for a second cab and also added a resistor in to a certain part of the circuitry to improve the bass response, or something I'm not too technical myself but all modifications were done by Jim, we have this on good authority from Marshall themselves as they have the records. It is a four input manual switching (have to unplug and replug back in) channel selection, beautiful harmonica style logo only seen on late 1962s and very early '63s. It has a polarity switch, and on and off switch a standby switch, a presence treble bass and mid control and a volume for channel one and volume for channel two. This may sound simple but for its time it is a work of art! 6 tubes in total as well. // 10
Sound: This amp has the best sound of any amp I have ever heard and I have heard quite a lot! Obviously you wont be able to play thrash metal on this or anything near it, but with no Drive control it just breaks up beautifully! When you think of exactly what you want your guitar to sound like this is it, I may sound like I am over hyping this amp but until you have played or heard one in person you won't be able to understand that not only is it super collectible but also amazing sounding. Also would like to add this in here as there is no smell section, just the smell of this amp makes you want it, beautiful piece of craftsmanship. // 10
Reliability & Durability: For a hand built amp made in Jim Marshall's kitchen (Also told to us by Marshall) it did have a few faults, output transformer needed to be re wound and one of the original mallard pre amp valves broke about 5 years ago so it has lasted a long time, but with an amp like this you won't gig with it maybe you would record with it but something like this is such a huge piece of history that I don't think anyone in their right minds would let this come to harm, also there was a crack in the aluminum original chassis from 50 years of playing. // 9
Overall Impression: If you ever see one consider yourself lucky these are ultra rare, hard to date as none of them in the 62/63 era have serial numbers on them, we had to go to Marshall HG in Milton Keynes to get ours dated. This is not only a piece of history but an outstanding clean, country blues and rock amp, also bought it off of blind neighbour some odd 35 years back hence why it was only 200 buying one now would be a whole nother story. If it was stolen or lost I would probably never forgive myself as it is irreplaceable. The ONLY negative about this amp is that because of its value and history you can't in a sane mind gig or openly play it and I have to keep it under lock and key when I'm not playing it. But that is a small price to pay for listening to a 50 year old piece of history! Also to anyone who didn't know Jim started making Marshalls in late 62 and this is a late 62 amp, hand built by the man himself.
One last note, the sound this gives off is so satisfying to hear especially when you are playing it, it just is almost impossible to describe maybe it is because of its age or even if it is all just in my head but I took it into a very big music store to get some new valves and the store stayed open two hours longer than it should have just so all the members of staff could listen to it, I hope many of you get a chance to see one of these in action! // 10 | <urn:uuid:8e9b59d2-52a1-47e7-96a9-1c6752aed300> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/guitar_amplifiers/marshall/jtm45/index.html | 2016-10-22T14:03:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718987.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00408-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984488 | 801 |

Lets face it America has an illegal immigrant problem I think we should be proud of that People love our country so much that they want to come here to seek better lives Of course lets not flatter ourselves Many people dislike America The other day I was watching the news when I heard something about illegal immigrants Supposedly if my story is correct WalMart is being sued for under-paying illegal immigrants at their stores I think that WalMart deserves to get sued This is America where everybody is to be treated equally Im not saying the illegal immigrants havent done wrong by coming into the country illegally but they do deserve equal rights Some people argue that the workers dont deserve to get paid the same wage as Americans because they came into the country illegally and they dont belong here to begin with Saying that is like arguing that a person trapped in a well doesnt deserve to get rescued because the person shouldnt have been playing there in the first place Maybe some were scared that they would get denied access to America because of racial or religious prejudice During this time and what is going around in the world today they have every right to be scared Others argue that illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans They are given the job If WalMart chose to hire immigrants over Americans then theres probably a good reason for it If you lose your job to an immigrant its probably because the immigrant is willing to work harder and for less pay If they do equal work then they definitely deserve equal pay Maybe Americans are too lazy to put up with some competition Who is going to want to pay you when they can pay someone else to do a better job for less pay Maybe Americans are scared of competition If you cannot cut it then a person who can

The back of this money size tract (6.25" x 2.625") says:
Dr. King gave his life for the dream that he saw in his heart. He once said: "If a man hasn't found something he will die for, he isn't fit to live." What's your dream? Is it to become rich, successful, and happy? Millionaire status? Many will tell you today that God guarantees you material riches and worldly success if you "sow" financial "seeds." They say, "If you have enough faith, the world's wealth is laid up just for YOU." But the Bible calls this greed and covetousness! "Here is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness (Ps 52:7)." Have you ever seen a U-Haul trailer behind a hearse? No! We take nothing with us when we DIE! The only thing that will be important on the day you die will be whether or not you know the GOD who created you. The MILLION DOLLAR Question is: Where will you spend eternity? If you've chased after the riches of life and worldly success, then you've broken the last of the Ten Commandments, "Thou shall not covet." #9 says, "Thou shall not lie." Have you ever lied? #8 says, "Thou shall not steal." Have you ever stolen? #7 says, "Thou shall not commit adultery." Jesus said that lust is the same as adultery (Matt 5:28). Have you ever lusted after someone? If you've broken just these four of the Ten Commandments, then you are a coveter, a liar, a thief and an adulterer. You're a lawbreaker that deserves JUSTICE. God's punishment for you is HELL FOREVER! That's not God's Will for you! If you will Repent of your sins (turn from them) and put your Faith in Jesus Christ, God will forgive you and make you Born Again. That's why Jesus lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose again. Don't view the cross selfishly any longer! It's NOT about what you can get from God! Surrender your Whole Life to Jesus Christ, not to the pursuit of wealth, earthly treasures and worldly success. You could DIE TODAY! REPENT NOW and start living for Jesus! www.Heaven-OR-Hell.us | <urn:uuid:85307bc1-39cd-40ff-ba98-053f594b03da> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://store.gospeltract.org/MLK-Jr-Million-Dollar-Bill-Gospel-Tracts-CustomizedBulk_p_71.html | 2024-03-01T08:55:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947475203.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20240301062009-20240301092009-00473.warc.gz | en | 0.940277 | 602 |

Decent piece in today’s SF Chronicle summarizing the various players, big and small, chasing desktop search. We have, of course, Blinkx, X1 (misspelled in the article as X-1), and Copernic, among others.
So who is best? Sadly, the article settles for the journalistic standby of saying “Wait ’til Microsoft shows up”, suggesting that the big software machines at Google and Microsoft will almost certainly flatten the market, leaving little for Blinkx, et al.
My view? I long ago gave up on Copernic (overkill), migrated through X1 (too quirky, too costly, and no unified search view), and have ended up blinking fondly at Blinkx. | <urn:uuid:7d3f78a4-7125-4b7d-bb88-09aeb91945c3> | CC-MAIN-2014-49 | http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2004/08/desktop_search.html | 2014-11-23T07:22:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-49/segments/1416400379320.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20141119123259-00155-ip-10-235-23-156.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.899 | 155 |
Did you catch the footage of three young, blond-haired female fans bouncing up and down in elation at a Whitecaps soccer game? In light of the controversy it inspired, did you shake your head in consternation...
Philadelphia Phillies prospect Tyson Gillies, a Kamloops native who played for the Langley Blaze of the B.C. Premier League, has been arrested in Clearwater, Fla., and charged with possession of cocaine.
The St. Petersburg Times reported that Gillies, 21, had been arrested by the Pinellas County Sheriff's department at 1:10 a.m. (EDT) Friday and released at 10:52 a.m. (EDT) on a $2,000 US bond.
The Phillies said in a statement: "The Phillies have confirmed that Tyson Gillies was charged today on a drug possession charge arising out of an incident that was alleged to have occurred in June. Because this is an open case, we will not comment further at this time."
A Pinellas County Sheriff spokesperson told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the arrest resulted from a June 11 incident during which police found Gillies standing by a road at 3:24 a.m. waving his shirt at cars. Gillies apparently told police he was trying to flag down friends to get a ride back to his hotel after spending time at the Freaki Tiki bar.
Police drove Gillies back to his hotel and then found a bag of white powder that was then sent for testing. Results of the test came back on Thursday and Gillies was arrested.
Gillies was traded along with Canadian pitching prospect Philippe Aumont by the Seattle Mariners to the Phillies in an off season deal for pitcher Cliff Lee.
Gillies started the season with the double-A Reading team in the Eastern League and had been on the injured list. He played just two games this week with Philadelphia's Gulf Coast League team which is based in Clearwater. | <urn:uuid:448befc8-5dc6-4765-a690-9d2f54f425a3> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://www.theprovince.com/travel/ball+player+Gillies+arrested+drug+charges/3424530/story.html | 2014-09-20T04:51:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657132646.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011212-00061-ip-10-196-40-205.us-west-1.compute.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984376 | 402 |

To give a little bit of background: They're known for their incredibly energetic live show. Their first release was a tribute to NOFX's "F*ck The Kids 7" on which they replaced all of NOFX's lyrics with their own political words, and now on their second album every track and the album title are an anagram for the band's name.

The MD8480B W-CDMA Signaling Tester has been designed for developing and testing Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) user equipment (UE) and application software. The MD8480B's air interface fully complies with the 3GPP recommendations.
The MD8480B has a full lineup of advanced test functions that include mobile station modulation and demodulation processing, protocol sequence tests (such as location registration, origination, termination), handover (option), and disconnection from mobile station/network. Various applications tests such as voice and packet communications, as well as communications between two mobile stations, are possible.
With the GSM frequency hopping option MX848001A-05, frequency hopping is implemented in the GSM communication channel in 4.62 ms frame cycles. The W-CDMA CSD function option MX848001A-06 adds CSD dedicated layers and enables testing of asynchronous and non-transparent modes at the rates of 14.4k, 28.8k, and 57.6kbps. The MX848055A Network Simulation Library Platform and the test cases (MX848055A-01 NSL Scenario Basic Pack and MX848055A-02 NSL Scenario Advanced Pack) enable interoperability verification between a W-CDMA 3G mobile UE and a 3G network.
MD8480B can be used as a stand-alone base station simulator, or used with the optional MX785201A
Protocol Test System (PTS) software for protocol testing. The MX786201A
W-CDMA Rapid Test Designer (RTD) is a revolutionary new tool that operates with the MD8480B to speed up the testing of W-CDMA devices significantly by greatly simplifying the way tests are created, executed, and analyzed.

Girl group T-ara is said to have turned down an endorsement deal with an alcohol brand, a coveted commercial deal in the entertainment industry.
Aside from Ahreum, T-ara's youngest member (with the exception of Dani, who will join the group later), all of the members of T-ara are legally adults in Korea. However, as a big girl group in Korea, T-ara has apparently turned down this offer.
Their agency Core Contents Media stated, "We believed that having the girls appear in an alcohol-related commercial is not fitting, for the dancing, singing, fashion, and actions of idol stars are highly mimicked by the teenagers of Korea, and thus, we have turned down the offer."
They further added, "[T-ara] will not be appearing in commercials that condone drinking culture to teenagers in the future as well."

The London Symphony Orchestra and its Music Director Sir Simon Rattle open their 2018/19 season at the Barbican with a programme affirming a continuing commitment to British music new and old on 16 Sep 2018 in the Barbican Hall. The concert features a world premiere by Sir Harrison Birtwistle, a defining figure in British music since the 1950s, Mark-Anthony Turnage’s 1995 work Dispelling the Fears, Holst’s masterpiece Egdon Heath, and Britten’s Spring Symphony. It is the first concert in an ambitious 51-concert season which runs to the end of Jun 2019 and explores in a broad defining concept the roots, origins and the future of music.
Simon Rattle conducts 16 concerts which explore the impact that different cultural traditions have had on music, from Eastern European folk music, through the British folk traditions in Grainger and Vaughan Williams, and on to the extraordinary impact of jazz. Gianandrea Noseda explores Russian identity in music, whilst continuing his cycle of Shostakovich’s symphonies, and conducts a Strauss programme featuring the soprano Diana Damrau in the final act of his last opera Capriccio.
François-Xavier Roth looks at the extraordinary spread of music traditions from Europe at the turn of the 20th Century, and in one concert, three composers from the central European tradition who were each in the vanguard of modern music in their time, Haydn, Bartók and Ligeti. Roth also heads up the third edition of LSO Futures, the Orchestra’s new music festival which is centred around the young composers taking part in the LSO’s new music development programmes, and also features David Lang’s Public Domain, written for 1000 community voices and performed in the Barbican foyers.
Michael Tilson Thomas, and Sir Mark Elder each explore American identity with music by the maverick Charles Ives, and Sir John Eliot Gardiner continues his Schumann retrospective with his completely fresh take on Romanticism. Verdi and Puccini are brought together with Ponchielli when Sir Antonio Pappano conducts non-operatic works by these three operatic giants and Barbara Hannigan is conductor and soprano in a programme featuring Berg’s Lulu Suite and music from Gershwin’s musical Girl Crazy alongside works by Haydn and Ligeti. Hannigan is also the soloist in Hans Abrahamsen’s Let me tell you, which is conducted by Simon Rattle in Jan 2019.
The 15th Donatella Flick Conducting Competition will take place in Nov 2018 when conductors aged 30 and under compete for a cash prize and the position of Assistant Conductor with the LSO. The Competition’s final round, featuring violinist Vadim Repim, will be live-streamed from the Barbican for the first time on Medici.tv and YouTube. Bernard Haitink celebrates his 90th birthday conducting the LSO in Mahler and Bruckner in Dec 2018 and the LSO’s concerts marking the Leonard Bernstein Centenary come to a close in Dec, when Marin Alsop conducts two performances of Bernstein’s Candide, on the same stage where Bernstein himself conducted the work in 1989 with the LSO. The LSO’s Half Six Fix series which presents short, early-evening concerts will continue with four concerts this season, and there is a wealth of activity at LSO St Luke’s, the Orchestra’s music education and community centre.
The season ends in Jun 2019, with the return of the artistic partnership of Simon Rattle and the director Peter Sellars with two staged performances of Janáček’s opera The Cunning Little Vixen.

U.S. EPA REGION 5
Congressional District # 7
CARTER LEE LUMBER CO.EPA ID# IND016395899
Last Updated: December, 2009
Site DescriptionThe Carter Lee Lumber Company (Carter Lee) Superfund Site (Site) is located west of downtown Indianapolis at 1621 West Washington Street. Eagle Creek is approximately one mile southwest and the White River is about nine-tenths mile east of the Site. The Site is located seven miles up gradient of one of the groundwater pumps used to supplement the publicly owned drinking water supply for the City of Indianapolis. It is located in a commercial and industrial center primarily composed of heavy industry with only some scattered residences.
The Site forms a four acre trapezoid in the southeast corner of the property acquired by Carter Lee in 1979 for expansion of its lumber storage capabilities.
Prior to 1979, the Site was owned by Penn Central Corporation and, in the period from 1960-1973, it was leased to several commercial/industrial waste hauling companies.
Site ResponsibilityThis site was addressed through federal, state, and potentially responsible parties' actions.
Threats and ContaminantsConservatively biased sampling performed under an EPA site assessment in 1985 indicated that soil might be contaminated with heavy metals including arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide and various volatile organic compounds. The site assessment and other background information, including unsubstantiated claims of liquid tank car and tank truck dumping by previous site owners, provided the basis to score the site for NPL listing.
The Site was listed on the NPL in 1989. In 1995, a more detailed Remedial Investigation was performed, including a quantitative human health risk assessment. The results of the risk assessment showed that Site contaminants posed only a negligible health risk, even when residential (unrestricted) reuse assumptions were made.
Cleanup ProgressAn investigation of the Carter Lee Site, to determine the nature and extent of contamination at the site, was completed in the fall of 1995. The investigation determined that the human health risks posed by site contaminants did not warrant a federal response action. A No Further Action Record of Decision was prepared by EPA and signed by the Region 5 Regional Administrator on September 29, 1995.
The site was deleted from the National Priorities List on July 9, 1996.

Statement from Senator O'Mara on today's announcement of the closing of the Elmira Psychiatric Center (Updated, July 11)
Elmira, N.Y., July 10— State Senator Tom O’Mara (R,C-Big Flats) released the following statement on today’s announcement by the Cuomo administration that it will close the Elmira Psychiatric Center, resulting in the potential loss of 250 local jobs, under a state Office of Mental Health (OMH) reorganization plan:
"I am truly angered, disappointed and disheartened that the administration has failed to heed our repeated calls to save the Elmira Psychiatric Center. It’s a failure to recognize the fundamental importance of the Elmira Psychiatric Center to the 11-county region this dedicated, high quality and successful facility has served with distinction.
“I’ve strongly made the case, together with many other local leaders, that the Elmira PC is an irreplaceable cornerstone of this region’s and state’s mental health system. The Elmira PC has demonstrated an undeniable record as New York State’s most cost effective, efficient, innovative, high quality and successful provider of mental health services. There simply isn’t a network of community-based organizations across this region to take the place of the Elmira PC. The Elmira PC has been an absolute lifeline of accessible, compassionate and quality care for patients and families. Its programs and services have long stood as the first responder for treatment, as well as the front line of defense against the firearms-related and other tragedies of the violent mentally ill.
“It’s tough news today for patients and families, for the Elmira PC’s dedicated professionals and staff, and for Elmira and communities across our entire region. But I believe it’s the wrong decision, and the consequences are enormous. It remains impossible to justify, in my view, and I will continue to urge Governor Cuomo and his administration to reconsider the future of the Elmira PC. We’re not about to give up the fight to somehow find a way to ensure that the Elmira PC’s tradition of care, prevention and treatment for patients and families throughout our rural communities is carried on.”
In a report released earlier today, OMH unveiled its plan to close psychiatric hospitals in Elmira, Binghamton and several other communities statewide next year. State law requires the State Legislature be given a one-year notice on hospital closures or consolidations.
The hospitals will be closed and existing services consolidated within 15 “regional centers of excellence” OMH plans to open across the state. Under the plan, Elmira PC, Buffalo PC and Western New York Children’s PC will be merged into one regional center known as the Great Lakes RCE that will be located in Buffalo. The plans calls for no inpatient services to remain at Elmira, but the center will continue as a “community hub” of the Great Lakes RCE and provide highly specialized community services.
Layoffs are not planned and employees will be given the opportunity to transfer or retrain for other jobs, according to the OMH. | <urn:uuid:f2790ff9-059c-4f78-b73d-164d57160bc7> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/in-the-news/thomas-f-omara/statement-senator-omara-todays-announcement-closing-elmira | 2016-10-26T10:45:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720845.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00293-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.935441 | 659 |
Although I am not a drinker and haven’t consumed a drop of bourbon in my life, I am a big fan of how Maker’s Mark strives to have a close relationship with its customers. In fact I did an extensive case study on the company’s excellent brand ambassador program for Think Like a Rock Star.
Recently the brand got into some hot water with its customers when it announced that it was diluting its product from 45% alcohol by volume, to 42%. Obviously, this is not a decision that customers of a brand that makes whisky would be excited about, and Maker’s Mark’s customers quickly took to social media and email to voice their displeasure over the move.
And not surprisingly, Maker’s Mark quickly reversed course, and announced on its Facebook page that their customers were right:
While we thought we were doing what’s right, this is your brand – and you told us in large numbers to change our decision.
You spoke. We listened. And we’re sincerely sorry we let you down.
Notice how Maker’s Mark not only apologized to their customers, but acknowledged that ‘this is your brand’. If you were a customer that was upset about Maker’s Mark’s decision, how can you stay mad at the brand after reading this?
There’s two very important business lessons here:
1 – Remember that Maker’s Mark has a robust brand ambassador program in place. It’s one of the largest in the world, and numbers over a hundred thousand. This gives Maker’s Mark a direct feedback channel to its most passionate customers. Sure, it’s one thing when ‘drive-by’ customers are slamming you on Facebook, but it’s quite another when people that have been members of your ambassador program for a decade or more, suddenly tell you that your latest move will cause them to stop giving you their business. THAT’S when you know it’s serious. Maker’s Mark got feedback on this move almost immediately from its most passionate supporters, and that helped the brand make an informed decision.
2 – Whether or not a social media firestorm happens is always dictated by how the brand responds to its customers. It’s never the company’s initial action that creates the firestorm, that’s just the spark, then you have upset customers voicing their concern to the brand. THEN it depends on how the brand responds. If Maker’s Mark had ignored their customers, or worse yet, told them they were wrong, then the flames would have been fanned, and the anger would have gotten worse. But Maker’s Mark didn’t do that, they listened to their customers and admitted that their customers were right. The potential firestorm was diffused because the brand listened to its customers.
Remember, it’s never the company’s initial action that determines if there will be a social media firestorm, it’s how the brand responds to its customers. Maker’s Mark just gave us a textbook example of how to properly respond to angry customers.

Historically, electric vehicles haven’t had an easy time of it thanks to the old stereotype that they are slow, boring and can’t cope with the real world.
We all know that isn’t true -- but what would you to to convince the general public that your new electric off-road all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) isn’t just another golf buggy or shopping mall cart?
We can think of several ways, but have to admit that an action-packed thriller involving a killer wasp isn’t one of them.
Enter California-based Epic electric vehicles. Maker of three electric vehicles -- a three-wheeled ‘car’, an electric speedboat and an electric ATV -- the firm decided that a good way to dispel the myth about slow electric buggies would be to put its Epic ATV in an action-packed short.
The 6-minute promo film features two buddies on an off-road hunting trip who come across a human skull along the trail.
Concerned, they stop to investigate, only to become prey to a human-sized monster wasp keen on turning them into its next meal.
What follows, according to Autobloggreen, is a typical action-film style chase scene in which the two men have to drive the Epic ATV flat out to survive.
Interestingly, since the film became an Internet sensation Epic has withdrawn it from its Youtube page. We’re not sure if the unexpected popularity overwhelmed Epic’s sales team before it had a chance to swell its numbers, or if it was simply published too early for an up-coming ad campaign, but we’re sad we can’t share it with you.
We have to admit though that the Epic ATV certainly looks the part. With the right gear and an empty dirt track we’d like to put the Epic ATV through its paces for ourselves, although we’d want to take some Zyrtec with us just in case.
How would you sell an all-electric ATV?

Be Prepared: Technology Trends Converge and Disrupt
By Richard Lefebvre-Oracle on Jun 12, 2014
Cloud. Big data. Mobile. Social media: these mega trends in technology have had a profound impact on our lives.
And now according to SVP Ravi Puri from North America Oracle Consulting Services, these trends are starting to converge and will affect us even more. His article, “Cloud, Analytics, Mobile, And Social: Convergence Will Bring Even More Disruption” appeared in Forbes on June 6.
For example, mobile and social are causing huge changes in the business world. Big data and cloud are coming together to help us with deep analytical insights. And much more.
These convergences are causing another wave of disruption, which can drive all kinds of improvements in such things as customer satisfaction, competitive advantage, and growth.
But, according to Puri, companies need to be prepared.
In this article, Puri urges companies to get out in front of the new innovations. H3 gives good directions on how to do so to accelerate time to value and minimize risk.
The post is a good thought leadership piece to pass on to your customers. | <urn:uuid:dfb079df-77f6-4ff2-961c-d486689a8e9e> | CC-MAIN-2016-22 | https://blogs.oracle.com/emeapartnercrmod/entry/be_prepared_technology_trends_converge | 2016-06-01T00:06:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-22/segments/1464053252010.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20160524012732-00113-ip-10-185-217-139.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.925376 | 247 |
Tufted Titmice are some of the cutest, most personable birds around. Their fairly plain coloration belies their personalities. These acrobatic birds are welcome at any backyard bird feeder. You can often hear them coming before you see them. Their variety of clarion calls are music to my ears. They whistle and call in a variety of ways, sometimes sounding as if they are scolding. Tufted Titmice are often accompanied by the local Chickadee patch.
Seen across much of the eastern United States, these active birds devour black oil sunflower seeds, safflower seeds, and peanuts. They are fun to watch and seldom sit still. I felt fortunate to be able to snap this profile of this Tufted Titmouse. It enables you to see all the bird’s identifying features: its stubby black bill, black forehead, pointy crest, its dominant gray color with rusty sides. The bird’s beady black eyes against its pale face make it easy to see where it gets its name.
So far, this certainly has been an old-fashioned Ohio winter. The only problem with that statement is that we live in Virginia.
I was afraid this might happen since my wife and I decided to forgo our usual weeks-long hiatus to our beloved Amelia Island, Florida. It wasn’t always warm in our snowbird retreat there either, but at least it never snowed.
I don’t mind the snow so much. It’s the cold that gets to me. The older I get, the colder I get. My doctor blames that phenomenon on some of the medications that I take. Still, the results are the same.
My wife and I determined it best for us to stay close to home here in the Shenandoah Valley during the pandemic. We didn’t want to miss our chance at getting our virus vaccines since we were in a priority category to receive the shots.
We decided that it was better to endure the usually milder winters of Virginia than those of the Buckeye State we knew so well. This year there’s hardly been a difference.
Scenes from Ohio winters.
We have had cold, windy, wet, snowy, and often gray winter days. It hasn’t been as bad as living in the northeast Ohio Snowbelt. But we still feel those cold Arctic northwest winds nevertheless.
The Allegheny Mountains to our west help block some of the storms, and their western upslopes receive much more snow than we do here in the valley. However, if a storm tracks east of the mountains, we get our fair share of the white stuff, too. Snow and cold have been the rule, not the exception this winter for us.
So far this winter, we have had multiple measurable snowstorms. Some even lasted for a couple of days. We are used to seeing more sunny days here than we did in Ohio. Not this winter. I miss my frequent doses of vitamin D.
There is one good thing about snow in Virginia. It shuts everything down, significantly decreasing the number of drivers trying to test their macho mettle.
In Ohio, severe winter storms also closed schools, businesses, and highways. But that didn’t stop hardy souls from enjoying the snow. In extreme storms, snowmobiles ruled the roads until the snowplows ruined the fun.
Friends have teased us about all the winter storms we’ve had so far this year. “I thought you moved south,” they jest. My rational reply always is, “Yes, just not far enough south.” For the record, we are at the same latitude as Cincinnati.
Of course, we moved here for the grandkids. I’m pleased that they also have sledding hills to conquer and snow forts to build, as we did as youngsters. I’m contented to hear about their fun rather than join in.
Scenes for Virginia winters.
Snow brings more than recreation, though. The aesthetic results of valley snowstorms are a marvel. Like our former home, rolling farms dot the landscape of our expansive county. When blanketed with inches of snow, the already pastoral scenes turn majestic.
The mountainous landscapes become black and white panoramas of steeply sloped woods sprouting from white forest floors. Old Order Mennonites in buggies and on bikes don’t let the slippery stuff stop their endeavors. In that regard, it feels just like Holmes County, too.
The nice thing is that we don’t have to leave our home to enjoy the snow-sculpted scenery. Frosted branches of the neighbors’ evergreens bend low from the wet, white weight. We miss the Florida sunshine, but Neva and I are enjoying the beauty of wintertime in Virginia just as much as we did in Ohio.
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. My wonderful wife served up a delicious noon meal. She saved the best for later. At halftime of a basketball game we were watching on TV, Neva brought out this amazing dessert: a gluten-free brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, topped with fresh red raspberries. It tasted even better than it looks. The flavors perfectly blended together.
I knew I had to photograph this lovely dish. The fire engine red table cloth as the backdrop made the red raspberries pop. It was a great way to finish off our Valentine’s Day dinner.
What is it about a snowstorm that brings out the best in people? Is it the commonality of being snowed-in?
Is it the down-deep desire to be helpful in any way possible? Is it the freshness of the pure white landscape plastered with inches of snow? Or is it the clean, cold, wholesome air?
Or maybe it’s out of the genuine goodness of people’s hearts, the opportunity and ability to help where help is needed that stirs folks into action. Perhaps it is all of these things rolled into one.
Whatever the motivation, the results are the same. Neighbors come together for the common good of all simply because there is a job to do.
In this case, it was to clear driveways and sidewalks.
Our National Weather Service office did an excellent job of warning the good people of the Commonwealth that a winter storm was imminent. Just the mention of snow in the forecast in Virginia, and schools, factories, and offices close.
Even if you had missed the winter storm warning announcement, the crowds at every grocery store should have raised an internal alarm. Supermarkets become jammed the day before, with folks buying enough supplies to last for weeks. I figured for this storm that the only milk left in the county belonged to the dairy cows still in the milking parlor stanchions.
So, yes, we were ready for snow, and when we woke the next morning, we weren’t disappointed. A beautiful five-inches blanketed everything animate and inanimate all around our suburban neighborhood.
The forecast was for the quick burst of heavy snow followed by a lull with more snow once the low hit the east coast. The wrap-around snow later from the nor’easter provided another three inches over a much more extended period.
After I had measured the snow depth at 7 a.m., I shoveled our front sidewalk and a path out to the street. I came back in to send in my snow report via email to the National Weather Service and eat breakfast.
Before I could return to the shoveling, Neva hollered that our neighbor Frank was snow-blowing our driveway. I hurriedly dressed for the elements and headed back outside. I thanked Frank but told him that he didn’t need to be doing our driveway.
Frank chuckled and modestly said that his snowblower needed the dust blown out of it. Given how little snow we usually receive in the Shenandoah Valley, I understood his comment. However, this winter has been different, and this was Frank’s first opportunity to use his machine.
Frank had already cleaned his driveway and that of another neighbor before doing ours. When he finished at our place, he went to Janice’s across the street.
To our surprise, our good-neighbor assistance continued. Frank had no sooner left when our next-door neighbor Wayne showed up and started shoveling the remaining snow. I tried to wave him off, but he was determined.
Then out of nowhere popped Jonathan and his mother, Deb, our across-the-street friends. They joined Wayne in clearing all the leftover snow. Of course, Neva and I helped, too.
I could hear snowblowers on other streets in our nearly 500-home development. We weren’t the only recipients of neighbors helping neighbors.
Neva and I were both thankful and humbled by the spontaneous actions of generosity. It would have taken me much longer than the few minutes that Frank and his impromptu crew needed to clear our drive.
But where were we going to go? Virginia was closed for the day and, just for good measure, the next day, too.
I couldn’t believe my good fortune. Standing at the kitchen sink yesterday morning, I happened to notice the crescent moon hanging in the southeastern morning sky. I grabbed my camera and headed out to the patio to shoot the moon so to speak before the sun blinded it from view.
I took the photo and turned to go back inside since it was 15 degrees outside. I happened to notice a jet streaking through the sky to the left of the moon. I braced myself against the frame of our porch door and took this handheld shot just as the jet crossed in front of the moon. Immediately, the lyrics of Count Basie filled my mind. Of course, it was Frank Sinatra’s voice singing this iconic song.
Always look up. You might be surprised by what you see.
I debated about how to title my Photo of the Week. Posting an apparent abstract photo is unusual for me. I even thought about holding a contest as to what the content of this photo actually is. But, I decided against it, and instead gave you a hint in the title as to where this photo was taken, which was inside my house.
I also considered titling the photograph “Winter Abstract,” but settled on “Inside Out.” Any guesses as to what this photo shows?
This my friends is actually a shot of the skylight in our great room. The crinkly pattern in the center of the photo is six-inches of snow atop the curved glass. It drew my attention when my wife and I noticed how dark it was in that portion of the room. When I investigated, I knew I had to share this beauty.
Yes, it the day we inaugurated a new president of the United States. It was also the day our country passed a sobering, horrid milestone. The number of deaths in the U.S. from the COVID-19 virus surpassed the total number of U.S. military personnel killed in World War II.
That stark and mournful statistic sends a message more significant than its unfathomable number. More citizens have now died of a virus in a year than a four-year-war. What does that say about us as a people?
Indeed, the rest of the world is watching us. And, I can tell you that friends who live in other countries are shocked by what is happening with the spread of the pandemic in our great nation. It shouldn’t have been this way. But it is, and we all have to do something about it cooperatively.
Scientists, medical personnel, and researchers made great strides in developing COVID-19 vaccines in a short time. Of course, they were aided by the federal government with funds and expeditious approval of the vaccines. For that, I give great thanks.
But the facts are facts. To curtail this horrible pandemic, as many people as possible need to get the vaccines. Because of supply and demand, many of us will have to be patient and wait our turn.
Because we are a democratic republic, federal, state, and local authorities must now work together to distribute the vaccines. Consequently, when you get yours will depend on where you live and to which category you belong. Each state has set its particular priority classification requirements for immunization.
In part, that is why my wife and I decided not to be snowbirds this winter. We wanted to stay home for several reasons. Safety and getting the vaccines were high on the list.
Yes, we miss our friends and the crashing waves and warmer temperatures on our beloved winter paradise, Amelia Island, Florida. However, we were uncertain if non-residents would be able to be vaccinated in the Sunshine State.
This winter is our first full one in the Commonwealth, even though we moved here nearly four years ago from Ohio. It’s a lot like living in northeast Ohio, except we have more sunny days and less snow.
With all those years of living in much more severe conditions than we have in the Shenandoah Valley, Neva and I are making it through. We are also following all of the CDC guidelines as best we can.
We continue to stay close to home. We continue to do curbside grocery pick up. If we order a meal, we get it via curbside delivery. We much appreciate those services and tip accordingly to show our gratitude.
As for the coronavirus vaccine, we are still waiting.
We know that some people may be leery about being inoculated. We are not. We respect people’s rights not to, but we also expect them to follow the proper guidelines to keep the rest of the population safe.
The reality is that we must all do our part in dampening down this once-in-a-lifetime pandemic to ensure that it is quelled and does not reoccur. Getting the vaccine will go a long way to reaching that end.
We will also wash our hands, and wear masks and keep our physical distance when around others. We will continue to pray for the sick and all those who are working diligently with those infected.
Given the critical circumstances, it’s the best we can do.
Though this might resemble a nearly empty ball of yarn, it’s actually December’s full moon rising behind some trees. I’m posting this as a reminder to watch for tonight’s Wolf Full Moon. Hopefully, it will be clear where you live so you can enjoy its splendor without any obstructions.
I’m thankful for birds. That’s one reason I spend the money, time, and effort to keep them happy most of the year-round. That’s never been truer than now.
Usually, my wife and I would be on Amelia Island, Florida, right now, enjoying the birds, wildlife, and strolls on the beach. The coronavirus, of course, changed all of that. We decided to continue to stay close to home. We also didn’t want to miss out on getting the vaccines to protect us from the virus.
So, instead of searching for great egrets, little blue herons, American white pelicans, willets, sanderlings, and black skimmers, I’m settling for mostly seedeaters this winter. I’m just as happy.
Watching the various birds interact, feed at the different stations I have set up in the front and back yards, and at the heated birdbaths helps the time pass. Like humans, food and water are essential ingredients for the birds and too many aggressive squirrels during the cold and dark days of winter.
I have the feeders placed where I can watch them from where I spend most of my time. I can observe the comings and goings from my office window facing the street or enjoy the multiple feeders in the backyard from the bathroom window. Those who know me well will clearly understand that logic.
Three feeders dangle from the front yard red maple, and cracked corn is spread around its trunk. In the back, a suet feeder attracts members of the woodpecker family, the neighborhood northern mockingbird, and Carolina wrens, to name a few.
A squirrel-proof tube feeder filled with black oil sunflower seeds draws in northern cardinals, house finches, Carolina chickadees, a few tufted titmice, and white-throated nuthatches. Dark-eyed juncos peck the ground for what other birds drop or miss.
Most of these birds are relatively regular to the feeders. The more elusive birds, like the purple finches and pine siskins, are inconsistent with their visits. Still, I am delighted when they arrive, even if it is only for a brief time.
Of course, I miss heading to Spoonbill Pond on Big Talbot Island to see an everchanging variety of shorebirds, waterfowl species, and raptors. But an occasional strafe of a sharp-shinned or Cooper’s hawk or a pair of bald eagles soaring overhead helps keep my mind focused.
Last year was a universally challenging year in nearly every aspect of life. A year into the virus, hope for relief grows closer by the day. The virus, however, has likely yet to peak.
In the meantime, my wife and I will continue to stay close to home and enjoy whatever birds come our way. I like watching the different habits and behaviors of the birds and their wildlife counterparts.
One particular white-throated sparrow prefers the confines of a hanging feeder made of a hollowed-out limb. This sparrow jumps and kicks at the safflower and black oil sunflower seeds as if it were on the ground scratching for food. That’s what the rest of the white-throated do.
Recently, a lone American crow began visiting. It feeds on the cracked corn spread beneath the red maple. I know it’s the same bird because of its persistent limp.
Despite their bossiness, I even enjoy the squadron of blue jays that loudly announce their arrival as a warning to the other birds. Then they divebomb onto the feeders and ground and gulp down dozens of seeds.
I miss Florida’s birds, but I enjoy the birds that fill each day here at home. They salve my soul. | <urn:uuid:dd1f0457-4394-48e3-af41-5f99859fce40> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://brucestambaugh.com/category/virginia/ | 2021-03-03T09:19:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178366477.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303073439-20210303103439-00322.warc.gz | en | 0.967699 | 3,865 |

Maplesoft announced a major new release of MapleSim, an advanced system-level modeling tool that enables innovation and reduces development risk, allowing engineering organizations to create better products, faster.
The new version of MapleSim provides new model development and analysis capabilities for easy creation of Digital Twins and other virtual prototypes.
MapleSim is a natural environment for modeling multidomain systems that supports the rapid creation and testing of initial concepts so engineers can try out more ideas in less time, identify and prevent unexpected interactions between different domains, and generate computationally efficient models. MapleSim is used across a wide variety of applications and industries, including the creation of physics-based Digital Twins. Because Digital Twins in MapleSim do not require test data to predict behavior, they can be used for conceptual design as well as validating product performance, design changes, and diagnostics. The latest release provides new and improved model development and analysis tools, expands modeling scope, introduces new deployment options, and strengthens toolchain connectivity.
MapleSim 2017 includes significant additions to the collection of built-in interactive model analysis tools. Choosing the correct initial values for a model is an extremely important and often extremely difficult task, and the new Initialization Diagnostics App provides insight into the initialization process to help engineers determine how the initial values are computed and what actions are needed to adjust them. The new Modal Analysis App helps engineers explore and understand the natural vibration modes of their mechanism, so they can identify which modes will have the biggest impact on the design and determine how to reduce the vibration in the final product.
Other improvements include over 100 new components, including expansions to the Electrical and Magnetic libraries. MapleSim 2017 also provides a new Modelica® code editor that makes it easier to create Modelica-based custom components, new options that simplify the creation of custom analysis tools, and enhanced support for connectivity with other modeling tools through FMI export. The MapleSim family of products now also includes MapleSim Explorer, a cost-effective deployment solution that enables organizations to make the knowledge embedded in their MapleSim models available to more people.
In addition, the new MapleSim 2017 release includes a new add-on component library. The MapleSim Heat Transfer Library from CYBERNET provides a comprehensive view into the heat transfer effects present in a model, enabling engineers to refine their design to improve performance and avoid overheating. The MapleSim Heat Transfer Library from CYBERNET is useful for any situation where heat generation is a concern, especially when there are moving boundaries between heat generating components, such as motors, batteries, printers, and manufacturing equipment.

I'm not an expert on snow or avalanches, thought I have seen more snow than I ever wanted.. but what this video seems to show is almost a block of ice. If we assume the raised footprints indeed existed, those can only be formed in powder snow. Avalanche can also occur in powder snow but that's not what this video shows...
Yes, that is hard to grasp for me. To my understanding important points are:
-local topography is small depression with rather steep angle, 28 to 30 degrees
-weak, low friction layer of snow was due to local depression steep angle
-wind blown snow filled local depressions (also like in the ravine) and built uniform layer of snow, which was angled like terrain as a whole (lower than traditional avalanche threshold)
-Snow layer above weak layer was deep at the depression, but thin above depression
-Thin top doesn't leave deep and distinct crack line typical to slab avalanche, so it's hard to tell afterwards if any slab was released
-Everything is good as long as snow layer is uniform, this is most important, spontaneous avalanches never occur if layer is uniform
-If you disturb the uniform layer and make cut wide enough
to the deep snow on depression, the layer lose support from below
-If you cut snow, layer is supported only from friction from weak layer and by thin layer above the local depression
-Slab could release immeadiately if the angles are steep enough, but in Dyatlov case angle was not and it didn't come down immediately as they was digging place for tent
-In windy conditions snow accumulated to cut (Wind slab) and increased load so that it overcome support from friction and upper thin layer
-basically it was delayed release of a small snow slab, not avalanche as most of us imagine avalance is
To me this situation is analogous in mechanism and scale to snow sliding from metal roof like in this picture. Metal roof is "weak layer" of low friction, snow is already broken free from top "thin layer" and supported only from below and friction of the metal roof. I wouldn't cut this snow and sleep under it in the cut. | <urn:uuid:425513f7-83e9-489c-8960-72ce1d61b984> | CC-MAIN-2021-25 | https://forum.dyatlovpass.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=21e0e988fc397665fabf84f17e128e6b&topic=859.30 | 2021-06-13T14:08:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-25/segments/1623487608856.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20210613131257-20210613161257-00382.warc.gz | en | 0.958761 | 447 |

Duo Access Gateway adds two-factor authentication, complete with inline self-service enrollment and Duo Prompt to cloud services.
Duo Access Gateway will reach end of life in October 2023. Customers may not create new DAG applications after May 19, 2022. Please see the Guide to Duo Access Gateway end of life for more details.
Use the Duo Single Sign-on Generic SAML Service Provider application to protect SAML applications with Duo Single Sign-On, our cloud-hosted identity provider featuring Duo Central and the Duo Universal Prompt.
Duo Access Gateway (DAG), our on-premises SSO product, layers Duo's strong authentication and flexible policy engine on top of your service provider application logins using the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 authentication standard. Duo Access Gateway acts as an identity provider (IdP), authenticating your users using existing on-premises or cloud-based directory credentials and prompting for two-factor authentication before permitting access to your service provider application.
Duo Access Gateway is included in the Duo Premier, Duo Advantage, and Duo Essentials plans, which also include the ability to define policies that enforce unique controls for each individual SSO application. For example, you can require that Salesforce users complete two-factor authentication at every login, but only once every seven days when accessing your service provider application. Duo checks the user, device, and network against an application's policy before allowing access to the application.
We've already added a number of popular SaaS applications to Duo pre-configured for use with the Access Gateway. If you want to protect a cloud service that we don't have listed by name, you can use our generic SAML Service Provider application.
Before you start you should have already deployed the Duo Access Gateway with a configured authentication source. You should also verify that your cloud app supports SAML 2.0 and locate their instructions for configuring SSO.
Log in to the Duo Admin Panel and click Applications on the left navigation, and then click Protect an Application.
Click Protect an Application and locate the entry for Generic SAML Service Provider with a protection type of "2FA with SSO self-hosted (Duo Access Gateway)" in the applications list. Click Protect to the far-right to start configuring Generic SAML Service Provider. See Protecting Applications for more information about protecting applications in Duo and additional application options.
Enter the following information about your cloud app vendor in the Service Provider section:
|Service Provider Name||The name of the service provider.|
|Entity ID||The service provider identifier.|
|Assertion Consumer Service||The URL where your service provider receives SAML assertions.|
|Single Logout URL||Optional: The URL where your service provider receives SAML logout assertions.|
|Service Provider Login URL||Optional: Enter the URL for IdP-initiated logins if your service provider specifies one.|
|Default Relay State||Optional: If your service provider requires a specific RelayState parameter, enter it here.|
If your service provider requires IdP-initiated logins using SSO, the login URL is composed of the URL to your DAG logon page plus the entity id of the service to which you are authenticating, e.g. https://yourserver.example.com/dag/saml2/idp/SSOService.php?spentityid=Your_SP_Entity_ID.
Use your service provider's SSO instructions to complete the SAML Response section:
|NameID format||Format of NameID when sent to the service provider.|
|NameID attribute||The authentication source attribute used to identify the user to the service provider. This attribute is sent as the NameID. This is often a user's e-mail address ("mail" or "email"). See the list below for the names of common attributes from Duo Access Gateway authentication sources.|
|Send attributes||By default Duo Access Gateway sends only the NameID IdP attribute to a service provider. Change this option to "All" if your service provider requires additional attributes included in the SAML response. Mapping or creating any additional attributes will also cause Duo Access Gateway to send all attributes.|
|Signature Algorithm||Select the encryption strength supported by your service provider. Defaults to SHA-256.|
|Sign response||Leave this option enabled if the Duo Access Gateway needs to sign the SAML response to the service provider. Uncheck the box if the response should not be signed.|
|Sign assertion||Leave this option enabled if the DAG needs to sign the SAML assertion to the service provider. Uncheck the box if the assertion should not be signed.|
|Map attributes||If your service provider requires specific names for the attributes sent by the DAG identity provider, you can map the authentication source attributes to the required names here. Enter the attribute name from your authentication source on the left, and the new attribute name on the right. See the list below for the names of common attributes from Duo Access Gateway authentication sources. Consult your service provider's documentation for the required SAML Response Attribute names.|
|Create attributes||If your service provider requires that the DAG identity provider sends an attribute with a specific value, you can define that here. Enter the new attribute name on the left, and the static attribute value on the right. Consult your service provider's documentation for the required attribute names.|
Here's a list of attributes and the value you should use based on your Duo Access Gateway authentication source:
|Attribute||Active Directory||OpenLDAP||SAML IdP||Azure|
|First name attribute||givenName||gn||givenName||given_name||givenName|
|Last name attribute||sn||sn||sn||family_name||surname|
Here's an example generic SAML Service Provider configuration:
After entering the service provider information click the Save Configuration button and download the configuration file.
If you plan to permit use of WebAuthn authentication methods (security keys, U2F tokens, or Touch ID) in the traditional Duo Prompt, Duo recommends configuring allowed hostnames for this application and any others that show the inline Duo Prompt before onboarding your end-users.
The Duo Universal Prompt has built-in protection from unauthorized domains so this setting does not apply.
From the Duo Access Gateway server's console, click the Configure icon in the "Duo Access Gateway" application group to log on to https://yourserver.example.com/dag. Log in with the administrator password and click Applications.
Click the Choose File button in the "Add Application" section of the page and locate the SAML application JSON file you downloaded from the Duo Admin Panel earlier. Click the Upload button after selecting the JSON configuration file.
The new SAML application is added.
You may want to customize the logo shown for a generic SAML application, as this logo is shown to users in the Duo Access Gateway Launcher. Duo's pre-defined SAML applications show the service provider's logo, while generic SAML apps show a Duo logo by default.
To change the logo shown, click the Edit Logo button to the right of the SAML SP-initiated logon URL and default logo.
Select a PNG image to use for the generic SAML application's logo and then click Save
Your generic SAML application now has a custom logo.
You'll need to provide some information about Duo Access Gateway to your cloud application provider, like URL information, a metadata file, a certificate file, or a certificate thumbprint. You can find this information in the "Metadata" section at the bottom of the Duo Access Gateway admin console's "Applications" page.
Refer to your service provider's SSO configuration guide for instructions.
To minimize additional Duo two-factor prompts when switching between Duo Access Gateway SAML applications, be sure to apply a shared "Remembered Devices" policy to your new application. See the Duo Access Gateway with Remembered Devices instructions. | <urn:uuid:e791233b-87a2-4efe-a74b-0259437c5ce9> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://duo.com/docs/dag-generic | 2023-06-02T07:47:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224648465.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20230602072202-20230602102202-00302.warc.gz | en | 0.786712 | 1,711 |
Johnston said he had spoken to riders in other states to make sure they were aware of the new Kentucky rule. Many out-of-state riders come to Kentucky in September and ride through the Keeneland and Churchill Downs meets.
The helmets arrived in the nick of time.The Kentucky Horse Racing Authority's new regulations on safety helmets for jockeys took effect with the Sept. 6 opening of Turfway Park, and three hours before the first post of 7 p.m. EDT, a shipment of regulation helmets hadn't arrived. Turfway president Bob Elliston said he was in contact with an individual who said they were on the way.It isn't known what would have happened had there not been enough of the regulation helmets when racing began."They're here, and everyone is happy," KHRA deputy executive director Patricia Cooksey said after the first race. "Everything went smoothly. The jockeys traded the old ones in, and we have someone here to make sure the new ones fit properly."The new helmets must meet American Standard Testing Materials regulations. Cooksey said the KHRA is making an effort to "get the helmets on their heads as cheaply as possible."Jeff Johnston, who recently retired from riding to become Midwest regional manager for the Jockeys' Guild, said jockeys need at least two helmets, which could cost a combined $400. He said some of the Turfway riders already had the regulation helmet."I haven't heard anything negative so far," said Johnston, who was on hand for Turfway's opening night. "Everything is going smoothly." | <urn:uuid:9c1b1802-1a08-4648-ad39-66408b42f519> | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/163630/jockey-helmets-make-first-post-at-turfway-park | 2017-12-12T18:10:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-51/segments/1512948517845.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20171212173259-20171212193259-00650.warc.gz | en | 0.988992 | 323 |

PHILADELPHIA, PA – July 29, 2019 − Senator Sharif Street (D-Philadelphia) joined Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Russel Redding to announce the state’s first Urban Agriculture Grant Fund enacted through Senator Street’s Urban Ag legislation in Act 40 of 2019.
“There are tremendous opportunities for urban farmers who often turn blight into community gardens providing access to locally sourced fresh food and combatting the food insecurity that plagues many of our communities.” said Senator Street.
The Grant program opens August 1, 2019 and closes September 15, 2019 and is the first comprehensive farm bill package to invest in agriculture across the Commonwealth, including the first ever Urban Agriculture Grant Fund. It includes “Microgrants for one-time projects or a single entity applicant and Collaboration grants. The Senator was joined by the Philadelphia Dept. of Parks & Recreation, PA Horticultural Society and dozens from community gardens around Philadelphia. Secretary Redding praised the first of its kind grant and honored Hansberry Farms, the host site.
“Urban agriculture is about more than just growing food; it’s about growing communities. It’s about bringing people together over a shared purpose and passion,” said Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding, “The targeted investments we are making through the urban agriculture grant program will only further strengthen those connections in tangible and meaningful ways.”
The new fund will offer reimbursement grants for projects that focus on developing urban farms and market opportunities. Grants will be awarded to improve agriculture infrastructure in urban areas, the aggregation of product, sharing of resources, and support for community development efforts. The Event was followed by a tour The Kelly-GREEN Project, re-imagined John B. Kelly Elementary School grounds, winner of the 2019 Excellence in GSI Award for Innovation (5116 Pulaski Ave).

In January, Greenpoint residents began petitioning for a farmer’s market of their own, and now their calls have finally been answered: Community Markets, which manages farmer’s markets, will open one in McGolrick Park (aka Winthrop Park) on Sunday, June 3, the blog Greenpointers reports. The green market will return Sundays through November, from 11am-4pm. “We are confirming vendors,” petition-starter Nicole Reed told the blog, “and so far we’re lining up a wide variety of local produce, cheeses, meats, pickles, honey, breads and baked goods. The vendors will set up along the Russell Street sidewalk, with ample space for everybody, between Driggs and Nassau avenues.”
And because North Brooklyn so totally loves farmer’s markets, a third will open in Williamsburg in Cooper Park, also on Sundays starting June 3 through November, on the Maspeth Avenue side. (There are also markets in McCarren Park and on Havemeyer Street.) Hooray for fresh food!

CHICK WIT At age five, acclaimed writer Flannery O’Connor taught a chicken to walk backward, and later said that appearing in a film about that feat was the high point of her life. Fortunately, she produced plenty of work post-chicken—her fiction, of course, and also a hefty batch of funny cartoons (see Flannery O’Connor: The Cartoons, Fantagraphics, 2012). In a style recalling James Thurber’s drawings, O’Connor’s 1940s comics for school newspapers satirize the author’s fellow students’ foibles and are as droll as Helen E. Hokinson’s 1920s New Yorker cartoons about ditsy matrons.
Now, 70 years after O’Connor’s comics were available there’s not much of which graphically inclined gals haven’t made fun. Cynthia Copeland takes on divorce in Good Riddance (LJ 1/14). Disease comes up for pot-shots from Cancer Vixen’s Marisa Acocella Marchetto, herself a New Yorker cartoonist (LJ 7/06). Dying? Ripe for satire by another New Yorker veteran, Roz Chast, who draws the Moving Sidewalk of Life with a sign: “Caution, drop off ahead” (Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, LJ 3/15/14). History and literature unravel tidbit-by-tidbit under the wicked pen of Hark! A Vagrant’s Kate Beaton (LJ 3/15/12).
But let’s turn to especially notorious subjects for humor: sex, work, parenting, and superheroes. For example, want to fake virginity on your wedding night? Marjane Satrapi tells all the dirty secrets in Embroideries (Pantheon, 2006). Thirtysomething mating-and-mommydom provide ample giggles through the charmingly slapstick art of French blogger Margaux Motin (But I Really Wanted To Be an Anthropologist, SelfMadeHero, 2012). And in Starling (LJ 1/14), Sage Stossel introduces a superheroine as romantically confused as any tabloid glitterati and as organizationally challenged as any Dilbert character. For much more chick-lish cartooning, check out Trina Robbins’s impressive Pretty in Ink: North American Women Cartoonists 1896–2013 (Fantagraphics, 2013). What do women want? Obviously, a good laugh!–M.C.
Bowers, Chad & Chris Sims (text) & Scott Kowalchuk (illus.). Down. Set. Fight! Oni. 2014. 144p. ISBN 9781620101162. pap. $19.99; ebk. ISBN 9781620101254. GRAPHIC NOVELS
“Fearless” Chuck Fairlane threw away a promising football career when he started a huge brawl by punching the opposing team’s mouthy mascot. He had reasons, though—mostly having to do with his no-good father. But then other teams started to beat up mascots in a copycat pastime nicknamed “Fairlaning.” Years later, now working as a high school coach, Chuck’s being targeted for a bruising by costumed mascots from all over. Is it just payback or something more complicated? Kick-ass FBI agent Molly Harrison would sure like to know and so would Chuck. This goofy-premise story pits an almost superpowered good guy against enemy mascots in giant animal costumes—elephant, grizzly bear, chicken, even a Chinese dragon. As the plot and the mascots escalate toward the increasingly outrageous, Kowalchuk more than rises to the challenge of choreographing the far-fetched and often funny fight scenes. VERDICT With plenty of good old-fashioned fistfight action, tongue-in-cheek humor, and messages about honesty and mentoring, this comic would appeal especially strongly to sports-loving young men, teenage and up, who may be reluctant readers. Kowalchuk’s blocky, slightly retro art renders the action with clarity and zest.—M.C.
Feiffer, Jules (text & illus.). Kill My Mother. Liveright: Norton. Aug. 2014. 160p. ISBN 9780871403148. $27.95; ebk. ISBN 9780871402950. GRAPHIC NOVELS
Kill whose mother? Feiffer’s second venture into creating a novel in comic strip form (after 1979’s Tantrum) turns out to be a masterpiece of misdirection. Bitchy teen Annie Hannigan declares she wants to murder her mom, Elsie, assistant to a booze-soaked private eye. But as bodies fall dead and backstories come out of the closet, the network of vindictiveness among a broader and very quirky bunch of characters becomes clearer. This is noir tragicomedy in the grand manner, with a twisty plot confounding expectations most delightfully. Pulitzer Prize, Academy Award, and Obie–winning Feiffer draws on his stellar skills with dialog (including songs), plot, and wicked humor. The art, which includes numerous wonderful dance sequences, continues in his tradition of loose black-and-white scrawls, yet adds delicate color wash to superb effect. VERDICT Feiffer (A Barrel of Laughs, A Vale of Tears) has turned out an exceptional story featuring five formidable women, upending the cliché in which the he-man Humphrey Bogart or James Bond gets top billing. This will pull in fans of Feiffer, murder-mystery buffs, and those who like reading about fetching, Forties-era femmes with fatal intent. It’s suitable for readers high school and up owing to occasional nudity and sexual innuendo plus violence. [See Prepub Alert, 2/3/14.]—M.C.
Graham, Brandon & others (text & illus.). Prophet. Vol. 3: Empire. Image. 2014. 128p. ISBN 9781607068587. pap. $14.99. GRAPHIC NOVELS
On a thousand worlds, millennia in the future, the clones of John Prophet have awakened and begun fighting to rebuild the tyrannical Earth Empire. But the original Old Man Prophet, enemy of the Empire, has also awakened and is assembling a group of allies old and new to oppose them. In the third volume of this tremendously inventive series, the ancient entity Troll calls both sides to battle a terrible new cosmic threat. Prophet was originally created by Rob Liefeld in 1992 for Image’s “Youngblood” series, and far-future versions of other Image characters from that time appear here—but no knowledge of them is necessary to appreciate the worldbuilding present. Each artist on the series follows a different set of characters, illustrating only scenes featuring them, and each one renders amazing scientific visions—living starships, grotesque genetically engineered posthumans, truly alien aliens, and all manner of organic technology—with exceptional vividness. Graham contrasts all of this with an earthiness of tone (which leads to brutality and gore but also to humor) and with genuinely human emotional moments. VERDICT Highly creative, hugely impressive, and strongly recommended.—S.R.
Irwin, Jane (text & illus.). Clockwork Game: The Illustrious Career of a Chess-Playing Automaton. Fiery Studios. 2014. 216p. ISBN 9780974311029. pap. $19.95. GRAPHIC NOVELS
“The Turk” was a turban-wearing robot before robots were possible—or was it? Aswoon at the idea of technological progress, the automaton’s gaping audiences of the 18th and 19th centuries couldn’t tell and mostly didn’t care. Irwin (Vögeline) thinly fictionalizes this mystery of mechanics and mystification, from the automaton’s 1769 debut before Hapsburg empress Maria Theresa to its 1854 destruction. Along the way, he exposes racial and cultural assumptions about minorities and makes the outsized personalities and dust-ups of those who brought the automaton to life as interesting as the mechanical Turk itself. Luminaries of the times play small parts, also: P.T. Barnum, Ludwig van Beethoven, Napoleon Bonaparte, among others. Irwin works in precise and graceful pen and inks, including hand-done crosshatching. The effect is a romanticized realism that could as easily portray, say, the writings of Jane Austen or Shakespeare. And by clever shading sometimes the Turk appears more real than the humans around it. VERDICT This lively, mostly true story will appeal to gamers, fanciers of steampunk and robot tales, technohistory watchers, and those intrigued by the magician’s arts. Knowledge of chess enhances comprehension but is not necessary. For high schoolers and adults.—M.C.
Jeffrey, Gary (text & illus.). Bonnie and Clyde: The Beginning. McFarland. 2014. 215p. ISBN 9780786465408. pap. $17.99; ebk. ISBN 9781476614298. GRAPHIC NOVELS
The book’s cover shows Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (1910–34) and Clyde Chestnut Barrow (1909–34) as superstar mobsters, but Jeffrey (Battle for the Atlantic; The Eastern Front) focuses the content on the couple’s ugly, day-to-day scrabbling to stay alive and ahead of the law. The story starts with the first time Clyde was implicated in a murder and ends a year later with a skin-of-the-teeth escape from a shoot-out that killed two lawmen. Young and vengeful, Clyde can’t resist escapades that pull him deeper into lawlessness, and Bonnie can’t defy Clyde. The grayscale art conveys very well a grimy, Depression-era feel, although all the characters aren’t always portrayed distinctively. Also, a brief introduction contextualizing this excerpt from Bonnie and Clyde’s career would have been welcome. VERDICT Showing the nonglamorous side of living outside the law, Jeffrey’s chronicle serves as a compelling counterweight to myths of Bonnie and Clyde as attractive and successful criminals. A sure bet for true crime buffs and students of Depression-era history; best for older teens and up because of its violence and sexual situations.—M.C.
London, Jack (text) & Riff Reb’s (text & illus.). The Sea-Wolf. Papercutz. (Classics Illustrated Deluxe, Bk. 11). 2014. 144p. ISBN 9781597074018. $17.99; pap. ISBN 9781597073806. $13.99. GRAPHIC NOVELS
A legendary patriarch of American genre fiction, London (1876–1916) wove emotion and adventure into a wildly popular combo that flowers today throughout all media. The book’s hero, effete gentleman-journalist Humphrey Van Weyden, must survive not just the amoral Pacific Ocean but its titular wolf: Wolf Larsen, the brilliant but “unmoral” captain of seal-hunting schooner The Ghost. First rescued by Larsen and then forced onto his crew, Van Weyden confronts philosophical debates, crew unrest, treacherous weather, and a beautiful castaway who’s also a writer. While some other literary graphic adaptations modify the original, Reb’s gets inside London’s vision with detailed, period-inspired inks enhanced by varying monochrome. The artist’s light/dark palette creates thrillingly dangerous ocean vistas. Moreover, the hypercivilized Van Weyden and the sonuvabitch Larsen come across as complex, asymptotic characters, each worthy of both scorn and admiration throughout their unlikely mentor/apprentice relationship. VERDICT This fine adaptation will make excellent fodder for book clubs as well as for armchair sailors owing to the complexity of the characters, their dilemmas, and their choices. With brutality and some oblique sexual content, this title is for teens and adults.—M.C.
Oliver, Simon (text) & Robbi Rodriguez (illus.). FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics. Vol. 1: The Paradigm Shift. Vertigo. 2014. 160p. ISBN 9781401245108. pap. $9.99; ebk. ISBN 9781401249595. GRAPHIC NOVELS
It’s the world of today, except that occasionally, at unpredictable times and places, the laws of physics are repealed—and when gravity starts disappearing, or a dimensional vortex appears, the Federal Bureau of Physics (FBP) is called in to return things to normal. With the bureau facing the possible legal privatization of “physics incident response,” Adam Hardy, FBP field agent and son of a marginalized physicist who disappeared into a quantum tornado, puts his life on the line attempting to rescue a man trapped in a bubble universe. But he finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that raises the stakes considerably. Oliver’s (The Exterminators) sf ideas are intriguing, and his focus on inter-FBP personality dynamics provides a human dimension. But his ordinary writing and plotting render the book less exciting than the above description suggests it should be, and Rodriguez’s scratchy, sketchlike, and sometimes exaggerated artwork doesn’t do enough to sharpen it. VERDICT Decent but uninspiring. With some gore, this is for larger adult collections.—S.R.
Pond, Mimi (text & illus.). Over Easy. Drawn & Quarterly. 2014. 272p. ISBN 9781770461536. $24.95. GRAPHIC NOVELS
A dropout from higher education and the career rat race of 1970s California, Pond (The Simpsons TV scripts and five humor books) takes refuge in blue-collar work: waitressing at a popular Oakland diner. So different from her own confusion and naïveté, her wisecracking new colleagues seem appealingly exotic—the boss, for instance, hires staff by asking candidates to tell a joke or relate a dream. As she stumbles into her new identity, she maneuvers through a world of casual sex, recreational drug use, and intellectualized identity politics but always with her good sense keeping her together. Suggesting a sweeter Lynda Barry, Pond’s simple black-and-white drawings overlaid with teal wash capture the soap opera comedy of a time when hippiedom morphed into punk as the go-to pose for the coming-of-age set. VERDICT Pond’s partially fictionalized memoir will appeal to others of her generation as well as to today’s new-adult readers facing entry into the cross-gen world known as the Rest of Your Life. It’s a lively, funny, and sometimes rueful read, with Volume 2 coming. For college-age and adult collections.—M.C.
Schulz, Charles M. (text & illus.). Peanuts Every Sunday. Vol. 1: 1952–1955. Fantagraphics. 2013. 288p. ISBN 9781606996928. $49.99. GRAPHIC NOVELS
By collecting the world’s most popular comic strip in its entirety, Fantagraphics’ Complete Peanuts run (begun in 2004) performs a tremendous service to multiple generations of fans. But that series less-than-ideally reprints the Sunday installments in black and white. Now Fantagraphics redresses that issue with this lavishly oversized (13″ x 9.5″) hardcover, the first of ten planned volumes, presenting the earliest Peanuts Sunday strips in full color. Rather than reproducing the strips from old newspapers (which might be faded or printed off register), the publisher has recolored the line art to match the originals and the results are glorious. The first strips here display Schulz’s supercute early style, but Peanuts matured quickly in both artwork and emotional tone. Featured are examples of many famous Peanuts mainstays, including the very first instance of Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown. The rather dour design of the Complete Peanuts books feels like an attempt to align the strip with the alt-comics crowd, but the color presentation here is more likely to appeal to the millions of others who identify with these most relatable of characters and find them funny. VERDICT A true delight, essential for every collection.—S.R.
Wood, Brian (text) & Garry Brown & others (illus.). The Massive. Vol. 2: Subcontinental. Dark Horse. 2013. 134p. ISBN 9781616553166. pap. $19.99; ebk. ISBN 9781621158615. GRAPHIC NOVELS
In the aftermath of the Crash, an unexplained series of natural disasters that killed untold millions and catastrophically disrupted society and the environment worldwide, mercenary-turned-pacifist Callum Israel captains environmental action group Ninth Wave’s ship Kapital. Together with his lover and second-in-command Mary, fellow ex-mercenary Mag, and a multinational crew of activist volunteers, Callum traverses the waters of the devastated Earth chasing phantom signals that seem to be coming from the Kapital’s lost sister ship, the Massive. The captain must also deal with the realities of survival in a dangerous world of piracy, war, and black markets—realities that threaten Ninth Wave’s pacifist ideals and leave its members questioning their mission. Here, the Kapital visits Moksha, an oil rig in the Indian Ocean that has declared itself a sovereign nation and adopted utopian principles, and Callum learns some life-altering news. Wood (DMZ; Channel Zero) delineates the post-Crash Earth with power and believable detail and gives his characters, especially the haunted Callum and the mysteriously superhuman Mary, compelling depth. VERDICT Strong and thoughtful, recommended for all adult collections.—S.R. | <urn:uuid:431bf18f-fcdf-4c23-8ce2-61363b4fb6dd> | CC-MAIN-2015-06 | http://reviews.libraryjournal.com/2014/06/books/graphic-novels/jules-feiffer-brandon-graham-jane-irwin-mimi-pond-charles-schulz-more-graphic-novels-reviews/ | 2015-02-01T13:16:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-06/segments/1422121899763.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20150124175139-00179-ip-10-180-212-252.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.887686 | 3,824 |

Meet your Kirkland Council candidate M. Larry McKinney
After Bob Sternoff resigned from his Position 2 seat on the Kirkland City Council in March, the council was forced to make a quick decision to appoint a new council member by April 16.
M. Larry McKinney is one of 17 candidates vying for the seat.
Background: McKinney has lived in Kirkland for three years. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and a Masters of Business Administration from Seattle Pacific University.
Experience: McKinney is currently an information technology leader with X-Factor Consulting in Kirkland.
He was also an electrician’s mate at the Naval Nuclear Power Command in Orlando, Fla.
Reason for running: McKinney said he has a “desire to make a difference and believe my skills, experience, and aptitude will mesh well with the council and its role,” according to his application. “I am passionate about working through tough problems and finding solutions, compromises, or alternatives that provide the highest level of satisfaction to the greatest number of people.”
He added he believes the council’s role is to serve the people, businesses, and environment of Kirkland by acting as its steward locally and champion regionally.
“I feel that Kirkland is leading the way as far as cities go and would like to be part of the team that sets the standard for other cities to follow,” he added.
Top issues facing the city: He said the biggest issue facing the city is the council’s preparation for the Comprehensive Plan, while still acting on Private Amendment Requests (PARs). He said the council must balance the need to review PARs with the Comprehensive Plan review to maximize efficiency for city staff.
“While there is a need to review PARs and continue to afford its citizens this opportunity, there is an impending Comprehensive Plan review, which will include the review of all zoning codes,” said McKinney on his application. “I would strongly encourage the reviews of PARs to be tabled until the Comprehensive Plan is completed, provided there are no extraordinary circumstances surrounding the PARs.”
He said the council also faces many transportation issues and has a limited source of funding to address those issues. From the Cross Kirkland Corridor to the ongoing street improvement projects around 85th and 124th streets, “the council must judiciously apply the resources to accommodate the safety of children, the thoroughfares throughout the city, and the feasibility of increased mass transit while decreasing single occupancy vehicles,” he said, noting the council should use the Transportation Planning Committee’s recommendations to deliberate on an action plan.
He said the city should prioritize fixing existing crosswalks in disrepair, sidewalks that need maintenance, street maintenance, as well as traffic light timing issues and current congestion areas.
He said as a council member, he would also include all neighborhoods - especially the newly annexed neighborhoods of Finn Hill, Juanita and Evergreen Hill (formerly Kingsgate) - in the Comprehensive Plan process.
“Many neighborhoods in Kirkland feel that it has been too long since they have had a plan review,” he said. “They feel left out of the process and desperately would like to participate. While they are included to some degree in the process already, most neighborhoods would like to do more.”
He said he would leverage the willingness of the neighborhoods to participate in the planning process by creating a neighborhood committee or commission, which would include one member from each of the neighborhoods. | <urn:uuid:6095ac1b-4baa-48ea-b63e-38747de58ca0> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://www.kirklandreporter.com/news/202579831.html | 2015-05-27T13:51:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207929003.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113209-00031-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.970725 | 757 |
A heartbroken family say they are in limbo not knowing the full facts surrounding the death of Chris Ogden.
The 23-year-old dad was found dead at a recycling plant after a night out.
His family’s grief is compounded by the circumstances surrounding his death.
Parents Jason Woodhead, 44, and Sharon Ogden, 42, of Ovenden, Halifax, said police told them the presumption is Chris fell asleep in an industrial bin outside a takeaway in Huddersfield.
He was in the bin which was then collected by a lorry and taken to the plant on Valley Farm Road, Leeds, where his body was found last Thursday (24th).
Police say the death is not suspicious but an inquest has yet to be opened while police inquiries continue to piece together his last moments.
Sharon said Chris, dad to 18-month-old Alfie and Evie, two, was a happy lad with a talent for drawing and music - he was a keen rapper.
“He was a loveable rogue who had turned his life around and liked going to the gym,” she said.
“He was a doting dad and and you can see how happy he was with Alfie.”
She said police called on the night of the 24th when Jason was away and she had to describe Chris’s tattoos to help identify him.
That left her stunned and in shock and she has hardly slept since wondering what happened on that night.
“I don’t know what to do. Jason keeps breaking down, his brother and sisters are in bits,” she said.
“I hate being sat here in limbo.”
Chris had been out in Huddersfield earlier that evening and it appears he had got split-up from a friend.
“It seems one big tragic accident but the police have not yet dotted the ‘i’s’ and dotted the ‘t’s’” said, Jason.
Chris was well known in Halifax and Elland where the family have lived.

Playing with console LJ client
Playing with a new (to me) console based posting client: charm.
If this works out well, I may actually get back to posting on this blog.
One of the annoyances when setting this up was the hashing of the password required a manual python run, during which the ljcharm.py could not be found. This was fixed with a setting of PYTHONPATH before the invocation. | <urn:uuid:b074e3a6-ce4b-479a-8688-07047a79ce88> | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | http://www.advogato.org/person/keverets/diary/18.html | 2014-09-02T19:00:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1409535922763.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20140909053052-00384-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96434 | 92 |

A new app initially called "Ghetto Tracker" is stirring up controversy.
Developers of the app say it was designed to help people identify safe areas in unfamiliar cities. The app uses opinions from local residents who rate the safety of various neighborhoods.
After the backlash, creators of the app changed the name to "Good Part of Town."
Critics are calling it racist and classist and say it only serves to help rich people avoid the poor.

Our promise to clients
Luxury Antonovich Design especially applied much exertion with the end goal to make the family's close to home space. The whole house is as lovely as every one of its niches and crevices. Luxury Antonovich Design puts it basically: A house is a place to unwind, and we are only glad for, and content with, the general plan. The firm has made sense of how to gather a significant reputation for themselves through their productive completing of excess inside arrangement adventures. Luxury Antonovich Design makes inside structures wake up.
Stunning Hall space
Each interior story begins with a hall space. It is here that interior designers strive to create a space that will make the right first impression of the house. In addition, the corridor interior should serve its practical and functional purposes. In this project, The Luxury Antonovic Design Studio's interior designers created an excellent path from the doorway to the rest of the apartment. The light palette of shades, marble floors with carved patterns, cute cantilevered tables, charming chandeliers, and sconces, as well as mirrors and silk wallpaper in the decor of the walls, look chic. Everything radiates elegance, nobility, and aristocracy.
Elegant Interior Design
This beautiful image continues in a more elegant and lush interior of the living room. The living room is combined with a dining area. Here, interior designers add a lilac note to the pastel palette of cream and beige shades in the decoration of windows and soft furniture upholstery. Marble on the floor creates a warm and cozy atmosphere with an elite parquet of natural wood. There are silk wallpaper, sconces, and paintings of artists in the decor of the walls. The space of the house has integrity in its splendor and elitism. In the interior of the kitchen, there are also luxurious attributes of the decor in the form of stucco decor and beautiful furniture with carved decor and gilding.
Luxurious classic Art deco
For the design of the bedrooms interiors, the authors of the project proposed several excellent ideas. Each bedroom clearly corresponds to the tastes, habits of their owners. If in the parents' bedroom everything is decorated in a luxurious classic with notes of Art Deco, then in the bedroom of the eldest son there is an extravagant modern style with accents of minimalism.

Dutch sculptor August Thomassen not only created beautiful art, he appreciated it in automobiles. Four of Thomassen’s cars—including three classic Bugattis worth $1 million—will be offered at Artcural’s Rétromobile sale on February 8 in Paris.
The cars have been hidden in the sculptor’s studio barn in Belgium for nearly six decades. His family was so concerned the cars might be stolen that they barricaded the barn’s two entrances with some 200 sandbags and a modern car. But when someone broke into the building last year, and with the 95-year-old Thomassen unable to drive, his family decided to sell the treasure trove.
Thomassen is a lifelong Bugatti fan, and his sculpted bust of company founder Ettore Bugatti resides at the National Automobile Museum in Mulhouse, France. In the late 1950s and early ’60s, Thomassen purchased a 1929 Bugatti Type 40, a 1932 Bugatti Type 49 limousine, and an all-original 1937 Bugatti Type 57 Cabriolet. The fourth Thomassen automobile being auctioned is a 1925 Citroën Cabriolet.
Thomassen’s love for cars began early, as he tagged along with his father, a physician, whenever he delivered medication to patients in their community. Thomassen’s oldest sister was the first woman in their town (Maastricht, Netherlands) to receive a driver’s license. The Thomassen family also traveled often, particularly to France, where Thomassen has resided for years.
Thomassen’s daughter told the De Telegraaf newspaper that her father admired Bugatti automobiles for their engineering and unusual styling. Requesting that she not be identified, Thomassen’s daughter told the De Telegraaf that the cars may have been hidden, but they weren’t a secret.
“We regularly had enthusiasts at the door who wanted to buy the cars,” she says. “But my father refused to sell them. Even though we hardly had money as a family. You can safely say that we were poor.”
They won’t be any longer. The presale estimate for the Bugattis is €650,000–€930,000 ($746,596–$1,062,483). All are offered at no reserve.
The 1932 Type 49 and 1937 Type 57 both feature custom coachwork. The Type 49 by Vanvooren appeared the 1932 Paris Auto Show and is valued at $170K–$228K. The stunning all-original Type 57, one of Swiss coachbuilder Herman Graber’s most beautiful creations, could fetch as much as $700K.
Unlike the other two Bugattis, Thomassen frequently drove the 1929 Type 40 and crashed it in a rally in 1984. He was in the midst of repairing it and was creating his own bodywork, but he never finished the job. The car is being offered without body panels, only an exposed wood frame. Presale estimate is $114K–$149K.
Thomassen’s charming little 1925 Citroën Cabriolet is in need of mechanical work. The boattail-designed roadster is valued at $11K–$17K.
It seems appropriate that Thomassen’s cars are being auctioned in Paris. While his appreciation for beautiful automobiles led him to Bugatti, the automaker’s founder wasn’t the only artist in the Bugatti family. Like Thomassen, Ettore’s brother was a sculptor. Sadly, he suffered from depression and took his own life at the age of 31—in Paris, no less. Bugatti’s first name? Rembrandt. | <urn:uuid:05b9a5a3-e820-4c67-a387-9588400eaf08> | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2019/01/29/barn-find-bugattis-at-auction | 2019-09-21T07:16:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514574286.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20190921063658-20190921085658-00482.warc.gz | en | 0.97078 | 807 |
i have been posting all my good qualities lately and some of you doggies out there think i'm not representing. even though i am mostly good, i just everyone to know that i do act bad once in awhile. like for instance:
- this morning i snuck into my brother's room and took a packet of gum! it was yummy..but mom caught me before i really got into it.
- last week i ate half a pencil, again, from my brother's room.
- sometimes i snack on small plastic toys....(hmmm..there is a theme here)...from my brother's room.
- i chewed lightly on my brother's outdoor sandals. just to leave a mark or two.
- i love the bounce freshner sheets that come from the clean laundry. mom puts it in her trash and i help her out by removing it and chewing it.
- i've eaten two pairs of my mom's underwear, but it's been awhile since i did that.
- recently mom left her piece of cake on the coffee table, so i licked it. she looked like she was done with it! apparently, she wasn't.
that's about it. i really try to be good most of the time because i want my mom to be happy and she gives me lots of treats when i am good! i can't help it. i'm the kid that wants to get straight A's. | <urn:uuid:773728db-4044-492a-a7a7-2aada91312b6> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://rangerthelab.blogspot.com/2006/09/i-bad-too.html | 2017-11-18T06:16:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804666.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118055757-20171118075757-00184.warc.gz | en | 0.982082 | 295 |
I was exactly 8,491 miles away from home. It had taken me four flights, 16 hours of waiting in airports, 20 hours in the air, and several hours careening around dirt roads in a bus to reach the town of Hosur in India.
I was there as part of a month-long immersion trip and had just finished my first week in country. Given the effort to get here, you might think I am the adventurous type — prone to backpacking solo around Europe, cliff jumping into swimming holes, or taking off on a last-minute trip to Patagonia. The reality is that I am cautious by nature, a careful planner, and not a fan of heights, cliffs, roller coasters, or really anything that involves danger. And yet here I was traipsing through the dusty streets of an Indian village and wondering if I had been slightly possessed when deciding to come here.
The truth is that I had been fascinated with the idea of traveling to India ever since I was a little girl. I had come across pictures of India in the National Geographic magazines that I dragged home from the library and it seemed like a magical place — exotic, mysterious, colorful — a place of adventure. I’m sure my 10-year-old imagination romanticized it quite a bit. My actual experience of India was full of color and beauty, but it was also hot, smelly, noisy, crowded, and confusing. I felt overwhelmed by the differences in culture, and I struggled to communicate even the most basic of questions.
As our group wandered through the town, a local family stopped us and invited us to their home for refreshments. I ducked in through the doorway and was struck by how tidy the house was. Mats covered the carefully swept dirt floor and a few chairs were placed along the wall. There was a small alcove that served as the kitchen and a sheet hanging across a doorway that went into a bedroom.
I removed my sandals at the door and started to sit down on the floor, but the matriarch of the family clucked at me and shooed me toward one of the chairs. I tried to gesture that I was OK with sitting on the floor, but it was obvious that she would not take no for an answer. Her daughter handed me a cup of sweetened coffee, and I noticed that it was in a very beautiful china teacup. The rest of the tea set was nearby and it was obvious that it was one of their prized possessions as there was not a single chip or crack that I could see. I asked the guide to tell them that I thought it was very pretty. As she translated, the mother and daughter glowed with pride. The rest of their family sipped their coffee from tin cups while the guests were given the china teacups.
I felt slightly awkward as we had no gifts or anything that we could offer in exchange. We were dusty, dirty, and probably smelled to high heaven after being on a crowded, hot bus all morning. Our hosts were dressed in what looked like their very best clothes.
Conversation was slow and stilted. We had to use our guide to translate, so much time was simply spent nodding and smiling at each other. Our guide shared with us that the family was very happy we had come to visit them. They were not well liked within their community because they came from a lower caste, and initially they were not sure if we would accept their invitation. They told us they felt honored that we had come to their home and asked us if we would pray for them and keep them in our thoughts after we left. The mother bowed to us and offered a “Namaste” as we readied ourselves to leave. I found myself wishing that there was something of value that I could offer in return but all I had was a smile, a promise to pray for them, and an attempt to say thank you in Hindi.
I was so touched by the hospitality of this family and at the same time felt guilty and unworthy of their gratitude. All I had done was shown up at their home. There was next to no effort on my part whereas they had dressed in their finest, cleaned their home, offered us refreshment and in their treasured tea set, no less! I found myself wondering if I would have gone out of my way quite so much for a group of complete strangers. But then I realized that’s how it is with God’s love sometimes. I show up dirty, tired, with nothing to offer in exchange. I often don’t feel worthy of it and yet it’s still there being offered. Sometimes all I can give is a heart-felt thank you.
As I put my sandals back on and walked out into the sunshine, I felt a new openness to the experience of traveling in India. A simple afternoon tea had touched my heart and helped me to see not only the beauty of the country but also the beauty that was inside the people I was encountering. | <urn:uuid:39760b91-614c-4248-94f7-4aeaba25f556> | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | https://bustedhalo.com/life-culture/something-to-sip-on-how-tea-transformed-my-view-of-hospitality | 2019-06-18T03:25:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-26/segments/1560627998605.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20190618023245-20190618045245-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.993325 | 1,032 |

NATO to help Tajikistan secure munitions
Weapons and degraded munitions a threat to public
By Dilafruz Nabiyeva
DUSHANBE – NATO and Tajikistan signed a Partnership Trust Fund agreement to locate and destroy caches of munitions and military equipment. The yearlong project has a budget of €575,000 (3.6m TJS) with Japan donating € 100,000 (638,500 TJS) and Great Britain donating the rest.
Rustamjon Soliyev, the Tajik ambassador to Belgium, described the event as “the first step in Allied co-operation.”
The agreement was signed January 31 at NATO headquarters.
NATO’s official website reported that “NATO hopes that by securing these unidentified stocks, the project will help prevent illegal cross-border trade in munitions.”
The British Embassy said experts would train Tajik military engineers and soldiers and deploy them as a weapons and ammunition disposal (WAD) team.
“The team will work with government agencies and local communities to locate and dispose of dangerous munitions stocks, co-ordinating with three other groups already operating in Tajikistan and working under different frameworks. Weapons and ammunition that are still serviceable will be secured and transferred to proper storage facilities,” said British Embassy public relations officer Dzhamila Majidova.
“The Civil war left thousands of tonnes of munitions throughout Tajikistan. Some caches are under control; others were abandoned and represent a danger to ordinary people,” Majidova said. As weapons and ammunition degrade, they create a risk of fire or explosion, she explained.
The Defence Ministry declined to specify how much degraded ammunition that needs to be destroyed is already in the possession of the armed forces.
A Defence Ministry officer, who identified himself only as Murodjon, said the emphasis would be on locating and destroying illegal munitions caches in southern Tajikistan, along the Afghan-Tajik border.
“It is impossible to say how many weapons stores left over from the Civil War (1992-1997) we can even expect in this area of the Tajik border,” Murodjon said. “Until now, security forces have been regularly finding caches of weapons and ammunitions there and in other places, including in Rasht District, which had long been considered a stronghold of armed Tajik opposition.”
Mahmadullo Asadulloyev, director of the Interior Ministry’s Press Services, said his ministry does not know how many weapons caches will be found.
“If we knew, then we would have found and destroyed these caches ourselves long ago, but we do not know, and we need to continue our work to this end,” he said. “Local residents often accidentally find the weapons stores, and in rare cases we find them on our own. Most of the weapons seized from the caches are fully fit for use, including the ammunition.”
Asadulloyev said a large number of weapons are still being confiscated from the public. More than 34,000 illegal weapons and ammunition have been seized since enactment of the Unregistered Weapons and Ammunitions Decree of 1994.
“We have a specifically designated place where we destroy the seized weapons and ammunition,” Asadulloyev said.
Abdugani Mamadazimov, chairman of the National Association of Political Scientists, called the agreement very important.
“In Soviet times, Tajikistan did not have a single business in the military-industrial complex, so none of the components were produced in the country and, correspondingly, none were disposed of here,” he said. “And to this regard, the NATO countries have already proven themselves a significant help to other former-Soviet countries.”
Chairman of the Islamic Renaissance Party (IRP) Muhiddin Kabiri praised the agreement.
During the civil war, the IRP was part of the United Tajik Opposition, which now holds most of the caches in Rasht Valley and along the Afghan-Tajik border. Authorities fear that opposition fighters in Afghanistan could return and use the weapons stashes they left during the civil war to their advantage, he said.
Kabiri said NATO has an interest in the stability of the Afghan-Tajik border.
“This border is unofficially considered a boundary for the entire Eurasian area. It is not just a border between two states, it is a border between two geopolitical regions; therefore, they are interested in stability,” he said.
Political analyst Rustam Haidarov said the project is primarily aimed at ensuring Tajikistan’s security.
“For NATO, the Central Asian countries are partners in achieving common security in Eurasia, especially in the oil-rich regions. The emergence of any sort of conflict in this area may pose a serious threat to the energy and economic security of the NATO member states,” Haidarov said. “As such, NATO and the Central Asian countries are establishing a policy of co-operation.”
In addition to weapons and ammunition, the Tajik Mine Action Centre has discovered and destroyed 19,000 mines and 3,500 pieces of unexploded ordnance since its creation in 2003. | <urn:uuid:b96c6c04-8c3f-4b89-a8f2-0c0782cf3de6> | CC-MAIN-2015-14 | http://centralasiaonline.com/en_GB/articles/caii/features/main/2012/02/29/feature-01 | 2015-03-28T12:10:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-14/segments/1427131297505.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20150323172137-00239-ip-10-168-14-71.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.952458 | 1,148 |
Tom looked through the peephole, glanced back at the census form on the counter, and cursed his procrastination. Now here they were, on the doorstep, and he would have to spend the next twenty minutes answering questions. He sighed, opened the door, and surrendered himself to the process. Soonest begun, soonest done.
After a perfunctory greeting, the census representative asked, “How many people are living in this house?”
“Three,” Tom said. “Me, my wife, my kid.”
“And may I please have your phone number?”
Tom rattled it off, resisting the urge to check his watch.
“And your sex?”
“Male,” he said.
“Okay, and do you also identify as male?”
“I’m sorry, what?”
“Er, well, what I’m asking is…what is your preferred gender identity?”
Tom, fully present for the first time, examined the census taker warily. “What the hell are you talking about?”
“Um,” he said, shifting nervously from foot to foot, “are you transgender?”
“Do I look trans–give me that.”
Tom stole the clipboard and scanned the form, certain that this punk was playing some kind of prank. This whole ordeal was probably being filmed for YouTube.
But no, there it was. Right on the page. And there, one line down, was another doozy: “What is your sexual orientation? Please choose from the following: Heterosexual, homosexual, asexual, pansexual, bisexual, demisexual, or questioning”
Tom looked up at the census taker. “What…what happened to this country?”
But the census taker had no answers, only questions.
This scenario will be coming to homes all over America if a couple of Democrat lawmakers have their way. Rep. Raul Grijalva and Sen. Tammy Baldwin are pushing the U.S. Census Bureau to begin gathering information about the sexual orientation and gender identity of all citizens.
“Many federal data collection instruments gather respondents’ race, ethnicity, sex, marital status and other personal demographic information,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to the bureau. “However, most of these instruments do not include direct measures of respondents’ sexual orientation or gender identity.”
Well, we can’t have that. Who knows how much more money we could be spending if only we knew just how many pansexual genderqueers were living in America?
“In order to make further progress toward understanding the LGBT population (including its economic, racial, and geographic diversity), we strongly believe the Census Bureau should measure ACS respondents’ sexual orientation and gender identity,” Grijalva and Baldwin concluded.
Further progress, mmhmm. Diversity, yes uhuh. Yeah, they’re barely trying to hide it. This is a money grab. But that’s far from the worst of it.
Put the LGBT thing aside for a second and just appreciate how it never ends. It never ends! The tentacles of the federal government keep growing and growing, and there’s no serious opposition to it. Just imagine what they’ll be asking on the 2040 census. Or the 2050 one. “Have you ever posted on any of the following websites?” “Have you ever said ‘White lives matter’?” “Do you have any literature in your home that might be characterized as ‘conservative’ in nature?”

Exercising has a lot of benefits. It keeps your heart healthy, eases depression, and makes your bones stronger. And when you’re struggling with the stress of infertility, its ability to increase well-being by decreasing anxiety can be a mood enhancer. But if you’re trying to get pregnant, too much exercise can sometimes cause health complications. Going overboard with your fitness routine can not only lead to menstrual irregularities — which means a lack of regular ovulation — but vigorous exercise during some fertility treatments can lead to ovarian torsion, a painful condition that can reduce or cut off blood to the ovary. Here’s why:
During a normal menstrual cycle, the body prepares a follicle inside the ovary that matures, ruptures, and releases an egg. If you’re trying to get pregnant, and all goes as planned, a sperm will fertilize the egg on its way down the Fallopian tube and the embryo will attach itself to the uterus.
But if an ovary isn’t releasing an egg regularly, or at all, doctors can use hormonal treatment to induce ovulation. For women with polycystic ovarian syndrome — a hormonal imbalance that can cause infertility — the procedure is designed to stimulate the growth of a single follicle. But for women with undetermined infertility and those who choose assisted reproductive therapy like intrauterine inception or in vitro fertilization, ovulation induction produces many more follicles, greatly increasing the size of the ovary.
“When we do IVF, we intentionally try to get the ovary to try to produce 10 to 25 follicles per month,” says Dr. Eve Feinberg, an OBGYN who specializes in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. “So the ovary enlarges markedly. It’s not usual for an ovary of a woman who is doing IVF to be larger than a grapefruit in size.”
Why running is out
Dr. Feinberg pointed out that ovaries are usually about 2 or 3 cm, so having two of them the size of softballs requires extra care. If someone who has hyperstimulated, enlarged ovaries engages in intense exercise with a lot of bouncing — like running — the larger ovaries have a higher chance of twisting on the ligaments that hold them in place, cutting off blood supply. “Ovarian torsion is a surgical emergency,” says Dr. Feinberg. “If left untreated, it may lead to the removal of that ovary.”
The ovary will remain enlarged during IVF cycles. Depending on the individual, that can mean multiple cycles. “IVF doesn’t always take on the first try,” says Dr. Feinberg. “I always tell people IVF is like a marathon. It’s not a 5k.” The ovary shrinks when hormone treatment has stopped. It’ll be back to its normal size after you’ve had a period, says Dr. Feinberg.
Yoga is in
Studies show yoga decreases stress, but there isn’t any scientific evidence that the practice actually increases pregnancy rates. However, the psychological benefits of being around others who are going through the same process — trying to have a baby — can keep patients involved in their treatment, which is more likely to result in pregnancy, says Dr. Feinberg.
“Patients are their biggest barriers to achieving success because it’s so stressful and it’s so difficult to stay engaged in treatment,” says Dr. Feinberg. “Yoga, I think, helps people with consistency in classmates and instructors and helps people get through a difficult time in their life.”
How to keep moving
Exercise during that preconception period of time is good — up to a point. But if you’re struggling with menstrual irregularity, opt for exercises like yoga or walking, which aren’t associated with nearly as many menstrual disturbance as running, says Dr. Feinberg. And the type of fertility treatment you need can determine which exercises you need to avoid. So make sure to talk with your doctor about what is best. | <urn:uuid:5faada29-e2e4-47aa-b00c-b3f8d342ae0c> | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | https://blog.mylola.com/exercise-trying-get-pregnant/ | 2019-10-16T13:03:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-43/segments/1570986668569.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20191016113040-20191016140540-00542.warc.gz | en | 0.944335 | 875 |
Couple step in to save Anchor Inn at Wimblington
PUBLISHED: 15:15 02 December 2015 | UPDATED: 15:15 02 December 2015
A couple have stepped in to save a village pub after the brewery applied to turn it into a seven day a week convenience store.
Kevin Frost and his partner Maricela Salazar announced on Facebook that they are: “taking on a new challenge to run The Anchor Inn At Wimblington.
“It comes following the confirmed news that it was due to be sold to Tescos. This prompted me to produce a business plan to save it which I’m happy to say Marston’s plc accepted.
“With the help of Jamie Miller I hope we can build on previous success and warmly welcome customers old and new.”
The new management team plan to open the pub this week with a grand official launch next week.
They decided to step in after Marston’s applied to Fenland District Council to turn the pub into a supermarket with opening hours from 7am to 11pm, just 200 yards from the existing village post office and convenience store, which has been run for the last 12 years by Haj and Bitt Singh who open every day, including Christmas, from 7am to 8pm.
Haj said: “Getting rid of a pub will be a terrible loss for the village plus the impact on our business will be devastating.”
Marston’s said it had applied for permission to sell the pub with permission for a supermarket because: “The Anchor has no passing trade and has suffered more than most during the latest recession.
“The availability of cheap supermarket alcohol influences people to drink more at home and visit the pub less.”
Villagers had begun a fight to run The Anchor Inn at Wimblington as a community asset.
Ashley Stevenson, chairman of the campaign group STAY (Save the Anchor - Yes!), said they managed to sign up enough people to submit an application to register it as a community asset. There needs to be 21 in support, and the group had 24 members.

Your skin is like a sponge. The pores in your skin absorb dirt and impurities that surround you. This leads to clogged pores, which are unsightly and frustrating to fix. Since large pores are one aspect of our appearance we don’t want to flaunt, we need to be diligent in how often we cleanse our skin. The bigger they are, the more we obsess over them. While pore size is determined by genetics, skin type and age, we do have control over how well we keep them clean. Although we can’t shrink pores permanently, there are other ways to minimize their appearance and bring them under control. By adding a few extra steps into your daily skin-care routine you can refine pores to achieve a clean, radiant complexion that will have everyone in awe.
Keep Pores Clear
Our pores are constantly at risk from being clogged by dirt, debris, makeup, blackheads and oil – all which accentuate the size of our pores. Clean pores are happy pores. Cleanse twice a day to remove unhealthy gunk from your skin. It’s important to use the right cleanser because if it’s too gentle, it won’t take care of dirt and grime. A cleanser that is too strong will leave skin dry, making the size of pores worse. Skin-care products that contain salicylic, lactic or glycolic acids, or an antibacterial cleanser with tea tree oil will remove excess oil and dirt from skin.
Exfoliate Your Way to Clean Pores
Our body does a pretty good job of taking care of itself. It produces new skin cells non-stop and naturally exfoliates old dead skin cells to make way for newer, smoother, firmer skin. Sometimes our body needs a little help sloughing away dead skin cells, so exfoliate once or twice a week to minimize build-up that creates skin issues and keeps skin-care products from working effectively. Pores are most noticeable when they’re clogged. Clogged pores cause breakouts. Use a light facial scrub or something as simple as a warm washcloth to exfoliate. Scrubs with gentle beads softly scrape away dead skin cells making way for new ones, and leaving you with soft, healthy skin.
Mask Large Pores
Treat yourself to a clay mask to give skin and pores the healthy, deep clean they deserve. Clay masks eradicate debris, oil and excess dirt and grime that clog pores. The best time to use a facial mask is right after steaming. Steam opens up pores so the mask can clean more effectively. Skin will feel cleaner and pores will look smaller.
Tone It Up
Toning is not something you have to do at the gym. Using a toner after cleansing purifies and removes leftover dirt, oil and soap that cleansers missed. Toning leads to better skin. They balance out the PH level of skin so it’s refreshed and completely cleansed. Toners are fantastic for controlling oil and tightening pores for a reduced appearance and an even skin tone. People with oily skin should use an oil-free toner while people with drier skin will benefit from a moisturizing one.
Refine and Minimize
There are numerous pore minimizing treatment products that come in gel or cream form. These products encourage a smooth complexion by stimulating cell turn-over, bringing new layers of skin to the surface faster, and clearing clogged pores. Some of these products contain Alpha Hydroxy acids, which exfoliate dead layers of the top of the skin. Products with Retinol and Vitamin C build collagen and elastin in skin. Collagen provides structural support for skin and elastin keeps it resilient – both keep skin firm and tone, which minimizes the look of pores.
Well-moisturized skin cuts back on natural oil production. When fighting large pores, it’s important to keep skin hydrated. Dried out skin from over-cleansing will only make your pore problem worse. This is because skin overcompensates by creating more oil to restore moisture robbed from skin due to over-cleansing. Oils clog pores faster leading to oversized pores. Use an oil-free moisturizer to keep skin happy and well-hydrated.
Finding a solid skin care routine that works for you is a long-term solution for pesky pores. While you can’t shrink your pores, you can reduce the appearance of their size. Invest in toner and moisturizer to remove excess oils and hydrate your face for an even skin tone. Use a face scrub and skin-firming mask a couple times a week to also help improve your complexion. You’ll notice a big difference in the size of pores and feel great in your new skin.

A prayer to dare
By Aanokhi R.
Grade 9, India
On entering a crowded bus we feel restless,
In the same way when we do a wrong deed we feel conscienceless,
On thinking about it we feel heartless,
On apogilizing we start to feel conscienceful,
On seeing the evil deed turn to a good deed we feel heartful,
On entering a freemind we feel restful.
On closing our eyes and joining our hands we feel the same thing because a prayer magnifies our willpower to change the evil deed into agood deed. | <urn:uuid:f4b23c72-7632-449c-bc03-19481c21ef62> | CC-MAIN-2014-41 | http://teacher.scholastic.com/writewit/poetry/karla_readrep.asp?Index=3&ID=112151&Type=Sch | 2014-09-18T01:43:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-41/segments/1410657125113.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20140914011205-00054-ip-10-196-40-205.us-west-1.compute.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.741299 | 125 |

West Ham United are in talks to sign former Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, according to Tribal Football. The Nigerian midfielder became a free agent in March, after terminating his contract with Turkish side, Trabzonspor. Mikel Obi left the club after refusing to play following the COVID-19 outbreak. The 33-year-old who has previously played for Chelsea and Middlesbrough in England has also been linked with Championship side, West Brom. But it is understood the Hammers are already in talks with him. After quitting Trabzonspor, Mikel Obi had been strongly linked with Brazilian sides, Botafogo and Internacional, with the player himself confirming the interest. However, it seems he is set to make a return to English football.

Sausage and Egg on bun
These are the moments when you feel like the Steve Jobs of sandwiches. You have breakfast food, but you only have a hot dog bun lying around and you can’t make any halfway decent toast with it. So you take those little sausage links and put them end-to-end, then cover them with eggs. Unveil this at the Apple product event and you’ll WOW the crowd. This is innovation. | <urn:uuid:bb3c02db-2d0c-4b79-b0fd-90e130198ce2> | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | https://sandwichportraits.com/sausage-and-egg-on-bun/ | 2023-06-06T20:40:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224653071.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20230606182640-20230606212640-00283.warc.gz | en | 0.959657 | 96 |

A decade ago the first Wave hit and humanity was devastated. Driving mankind’s worst impulses and urges to the point of horrific destructive obsession, the Waves keep coming and the survivors must choose either to fight them or revel in the insanity. Today, deep in the woods and sheltered from the world, Paxton raises his three children alone, safe and (hopefully) prepared for when the next Wave hits. However, when he is forced to make a trip to find medicine for his chronically ill son, Paxton must trust that he has taught his children to protect themselves well enough and that no pitfalls await him on the road.
This week I have had the great privilege of reading not just one but the first two issues of Vault’s new series, Resonant. There are plenty of post-apocalyptic survival stories out there, making this is a really tough genre to break into unless you’ve got something special to offer. Well, I can say unequivocally that Resonant has something special to offer.
The first thing that really stands out is the concept of the Wave itself. There are so many directions they could take this aspect of the story that it hooked me immediately. Where do you go to in your darkest moments, those times when you’re screaming inside? The urge to drag a razor across your throat, peel off your own skin, or maybe someone else’s? The human mind can conjure truly horrifying and terrible things, and for the most part we are able to filter them out, suppress them. But what if you couldn’t? What if you couldn’t pull yourself back from acting on those impulses? The bigger question, where is The Wave coming from? Is it aliens, is it biological, environmental, terrorism, a government experiment gone wrong? Right now, I can’t even begin to guess but it’s going to be a great ride finding out.
Looking at the rest of the story, of course there are going to be comparisons with The Walking Dead and a hundred other similar titles, but I personally found myself drawing comparisons with Crossed, as it has that darker edge to it that I just love. I think a lot of the comparison might also be a lot to do with the character design, which has a similar feel to Jacen Burrows’ work. What starts as a simple enough set up of a family trying to survive the apocalypse escalates bloodily and horrifically with a speed that is truly dizzying.
The characters that we get to meet in these first two issues are fantastic. Paxton’s kids are superb. They’re capable and they’re hard, but, and this is hugely important, they’re still kids. So many times I’ve read similar stories where the kids are basically battle scarred special forces operatives, mini Frank Castles, and they’re just not interesting. Bec, Ty and Stef are relatable, they play tricks on each other, they play games together, and they will defend each other to the death. Paxton is a good father, he doesn’t take unnecessary risks and he’s hard when he has to be without sacrificing his humanity. Ultimately, I care for this family, I want to see them come through whatever lies ahead, knowing that it’s not going to be easy, even this early in the series.
The passing lunatics, the religious fanatics and the denizens of Hospitality are all fascinating, ugly, and, where necessary, terrifying. This is where the artwork really blows you away. The artwork is exactly that, it’s art. There is a lot of horror and ugliness and suffering in these first two issues and the way it’s presented on the page is just incredible. But there is also a lot of beauty, in the interactions of the children and their obvious love for and fear for each other, in the way nature is claiming back the world, in the peaceful moments. Watercolour is such a good medium for comics, and the mixture in this series with other texture methods works superbly. The titles I’ve read recently from Vault have had some incredibly good artists involved with them, These Savage Shores being a perfect example, and RESONANT is another title where the publisher’s continued investment in exceptional talent is really paying off.
This is a great start to what looks to be another hit for a publisher that is rapidly becoming one of my favourites this year.

The Coffee Collective, Copenhagen’s premier specialty coffee micro-roastery, have formally announced the imminent opening of their third location.
The new spot is in a cool old factory on Godthåbsvej 34B in Frederiksberg, a mere ten minutes from Jægersborggade. Coffee Collective recently opened up a cafe in Jægersborggade, in a massive food hall. It was the recipient of a quick and cheerful Strand job in November:
The Coffee Collective is one of a handful of small-batch roasters with a global following, a neighborhood coffee shop about the size of a kitchen in a starter apartment that’s known for buying, roasting and preparing some of the finest coffees in the world. There are no gimmicks, no tricks. The Coffee Collective’s reputation rests on the quality of its craft.
According to Klaus & Co., the new location is a “dream space”, big enough to house the roastery, offices, green storage, wholesale, and a cafe. Congratulations to the whole crew at Coffee Collective. | <urn:uuid:e4962c04-1624-48fb-a970-59a0e854216f> | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | http://sprudge.com/the-klaus-who-roared-coffee-collective-iii-21437.html | 2015-05-22T13:03:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-22/segments/1432207925201.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20150521113205-00295-ip-10-180-206-219.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.931479 | 227 |

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s August already.
The eighth month of the year.
2015 is over the halfway mark and I have no fucking clue where the time has gone. The Stones may have had time on their side, but this humble blogger can’t seem to figure out which end is up these days. Actually, that isn’t entirely true. This year has just been somewhat of a sleep-deprived, muddled smear thus far with many a personal changes and many a stories developing, filling notebooks and other such blank pages in the forms of novels, shorts, and poems.
Speaking of such vowel movements, a new short story of mine entitled Finality has been published by the good folks of questionable taste over at Every Writer’s Resource. Kind enough to sully their site with the likes of my prose, EWR: Short Stories has even gone so far as to feature my story on their front page.
She lay on the bed crying, the tears wouldn’t cease. The world was so god-damn unfair. She had gone to bed two hours earlier in an attempt to escape the memories and find some much needed rest. Rest eluded her, as did any form of peace or solace. It had been a week since his departure. Though it wasn’t his fault, she couldn’t help but feel resentment, a supreme anger.
He had left her alone.
He had left her in pain.
Fault didn’t matter as she cried into the sprawling loneliness of the apartment bedroom. The sobs ricocheted off of the walls, rippling through the tiny, sparsely furnished one bedroom walk-up they shared.
The night he abandoned them, alcohol flowed heavily. Whiskey always flowed heavily. After another bottle, another fight, he disappeared. The last memory she had was the revving of his engine, the screeching of his wheels.
To read the story in it’s entirety, visit EWR: Short Stories Finality page here and keep your eyes peeled for upcoming announcements on other offerings of the vaguely literary variety. Now log off and go do something productive with your weekend! | <urn:uuid:e5e4a195-108a-4a22-9f7d-b92639c75c3a> | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | https://alexschumacherart.com/2015/08/ | 2023-01-28T00:30:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499468.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20230127231443-20230128021443-00148.warc.gz | en | 0.977012 | 455 |
