The original photo of Owen, Wisconsin, as it appeared in 1907, hangs in city hall. It has been taken to various schools as a tool for historical talks of the town. It is a long photo; therefore, I had to take two snap shots of it to preserve more of the details. In the copy below, those sections have been spliced together so the panoramic view could be displayed true to form. Many people have asked what high structure was on the north end of town to provide this view for the photographer.
My question was, what was the photographer standing on? Water tower? Something like that or what.
Do think your early panoramic birdseye view of Owen could have been shot from this train trestle? I didn't check to see where the tracks ran in relationship to the photo.
You are right about the train tracks that were elevated at one time to prevent interfering with existing tracks. I gather this from Robert Lipprant's photos and comments.

Coagulated soybean extract? It sounds gross, right? But in the right hands, tofu is a delicious, flexible and healthy food, widely used throughout the Lake Tahoe health food scene. It's a great source of protein and adopts the flavor of other foods during cooking. But if you are still not sold, there is nothing to fear, because the health food restaurants in Tahoe take cues from the Bay Area's health scene, which is known for creative platters full of variety and hints of culinary fusion. Like the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe's health-conscious restaurant owners have quirky senses of humor, with entertaining menus, staff and overall environments.
While the mountainous region makes it hard to brand much of the food as locally grown, many restaurants and cafes have no problem promising 100% organic products. And if you feel like staying in, there are plenty of health conscious and organic grocery stores available to stock your cupboards with healthy snacks, whole grain breads, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free products. Park your bike and step into one of the many health food Lake Tahoe has to offer. Try out a luscious salad, slab burrito or tofu sandwich.
Check out our complete list of Lake Tahoe restaurants.

Which ISP is the one to sign up for ?
My wife is finishing her Masters degree online she uses the computer virtuall everyday so I need speed.
Here in Kansas we have cox cable high speed internet which is real fast.
So I need some recomendations on which company to use for my ISP.
Oh yea we live in the North part of COS if that has any bearing.
What do you mean Lost Signal not familiar with that, you mean you lost connection ?
That just should not happen these days.
We here have 7 megabites per second so It must be half the speed ?
Wow downloads take a while ?
As far as a modem do I have to buy one or does Comcast lease one ?
Lost signal means I had to re-boot the modem. It's now very infrequent. With Adelphia, it could happen 3 times per day.
The speed with Adelphia was frequently less than 1 Mb/sec. Comcast says it can be faster, but I just reported what I measured today. Maybe one of my neighbors is downloading a movie. One disadvantage to cable, is that you share the bandwidth on your loop.
I bought my own modem at Best Buy. Some people report good results with DSL on Qwest; I haven't tried it.
Oh man, I was on my dad's computer yesterday (he has Comcast) and it was painfully slow. Just lightly better than a dial-up connection with a speed boosting software. I went in to tell him his internet s ucks. Haha, in a room full of other people and everyone agreed that Comcast is sub-par. Even the guy who owns a serious computer/networking company agreed.
I personally use Qwest's flavor (not MSN - but straight through Qwest) and have pretty decent speeds. I do web design for a living so I have to mostly be concerned about upload more than download but I do download things associated with my design from a client of mine (whole web sites in Photoshop format - big files) and it's not that bad at all.
It's much faster than my dad's Comcast. There was no excuse for his speeds to be that slow as most of his neighborhood were also celebrating Easter or not around. 3:00 pm on a holiday Sunday should be a good time to be on the internet.
Remember that Comcast users are on a network which is different than a DSL line. I have a straight line to the internet rather than a central point like Comcast where you are sharing your connections with others in your immediate area before you get to the internet. My speeds remain pretty consistant for the most part unlike my dad's speeds that can slow to a crawl in the early evenings.
I live in the east side of Kings Deer near Monument. There is no DSL or Cable internet service available (as of summer 2006, probably should check again...). We receive internet data using Falcon Broadband via an antenna mounted on my roof which receives a carrier from a transmitting antenna mounted at the Kings Deer golf course. Fairly reliable. Lost connectivity for tens of minutes at a time during big summer thunderstorms. Lost connectivity for a few hours during our recent ice events. Speed is OK for me, saw downloads around 1.1 mbps and uploads around 0.6 mbps (test data from 6:30pm Monday night). Have every firewall and virus protection known to man activated.
I think I pay around $40/month for internet - something like that plus $12-15/month for El Cheapo phone service.
Use www.testmy.net for a pretty decent technical evaluation of your service.
Hope these posts helps us find the best service and save money.
At work we use Qwest DSL. It used to work very nicely at 1.5Mbps/756Kbps, but lately the download speed is very slow. At home I have CoInfoTech.com 256Kbps DSL, and it works very well. Each service is about $30/mo.
I would consider switching to Qwest MSN DSL 1.5Mbps for home, but I really hate the thought MSN. I wish Qwest sold residential 1.5Mbps DSL without MSN for the same price.
My experience w/ Adelphia was just the opposite of a previous poster. I had their service for 11 months before Comcast took over. With Adelphia, I only had 1 outage for around a day.
Comcast started off OK, but the last 2 months I've had 3-4 outages, 2 of which were multiple days. As a result, I'm fed up w/ paying $53/mo for hi-speed internet that keeps going off. IMO, Comcast is not holding up their end of the bargain. To top it off, we were paying ~$42/mo for hi speed internet. About 1 month after Comcast completed their acquisition, they jacked up the rates $10! Talk about annoying!!!
I look forward to the day when their is some REAL competition in town for hi-speed internet other than Comcast & Qwest. Falcon Broadband, and another hi-speed cable internet company, now have 10-yr options to prove hi speed internet to the city. Hopefully, they roll out their packages quickly.
In the mean time, I'm looking seriously at Qwest unless I can get some concessions out of Comcast b/c I'm fed up.
I wish Qwest DSL wasn't bundled w/ MSN - I wonder if there's a way to unbundle it - haven't asked yet, so I don't know.
Oh - we're on the NW side of town in the Mtn Shadows area.
A couple years ago, I asked, and Qwest said no. That's why I am paying more for less bandwidth with CIT DSL at home. In any case, it's very reliable.
At work, we have a business Qwest 1.5Mbps/756Kbps without MSN (and even without e-mail) for something like $30/mo. It's also reliable and allows incoming connections (for VPN/servers), and I wish I could get it residentially.
Can a home business have the Qwest 1.5Mbps you speak of, or is it a matter of location and other reasons?

Should this just become a New York blog? I’ve written about it here, here, and here. And today I want to talk about even more restaurants you need to visit next time you are in the city (but make sure to check out my other posts for some of my other faves).
To know me, is to know I love concerts. I’ve been to quite a few. My very first one was a The Format concert when I was in high school. Man, do they have some bops. Over the years I’ve picked up some tips & tricks along the way. Keep reading and share any of your own concerts hacks!
Here is my YouTube video on the same subject; but as usual, if you prefer reading I got you, boo!
Today I bring you some life-changing items, no exaggeration. Click on the bolded names of the items if you’d like to buy any of them!
This blog will always be my first love and I’m a marginally better writer than on-air personality, but I’ve been having the best time making YouTube videos. In my most recent one, I tried eating like YouTuber Blair Walnuts for a day. I would love if you watched it and if you’re feeling extra generous click here to subscribe. I’m working on making each video a little better than the last!
I Went to the Grammys?!
Y’all. I went to LA because I was able to be a seatfiller for the Grammys and let me tell you–it was a WILD ride. But did you think for a second I was gonna stop pretending to be a Bon Appetit Editor while I was there? If so, you’d be incorrect! Read on for some of my tips in the City of Angels, including my review of Lisa Vanderpump’s babies.
You will be familiar with some of these items from my Legit Sh*t posts, but since I uploaded a YouTube video talking about 10 of my favorite/best Amazon products, I thought I’d share it over here too!
Would love if you subscribe to my channel!
Hi, my name is Bailey and I have lizard skin. For real though, my face is prone to flakes, scaliness, dry patches–you get the gist. And that’s in FL where the humidity is 99% and I swear I drink so much freaking water. But it doesn’t matter. My skin is just dry and it doesn’t help that I use Tretinoin Cream (generic Retin-A) and acids pretty frequently to keep my adult acne at bay. So today I’m letting you in on 3 little secrets you need if your face is drier than a desert.
Is Florida a breeding ground for reality stardom?
I claim to love pop culture, and frankly I am appalled I haven’t done a purely pop-culture focused post on this blog yet. Who am I? Well today is the day and I have a theory. I have a few–one I need to explore is how Hillsong Church where Chris Pratt and Biebs and Hails patronize is the next scientology. If you have any leads on that, lemme know. But for today, I just want to focus on my theory that Florida colleges pop out some fantastic reality stars and in particular Florida State University. Let’s examine, shall we?
Coming atcha with Legit Sh*t Numero 8!
I actually wasn’t going to get a Beautylish Lucky Bag this year, but clearly my willpower lacks and my consumerism roars right after Christmas and I couldn’t resist. But also it just feels like a tradition at this point, and I love a tradition. But to shake it up this year, I also did an unboxing video showing you exactly what I got! But if your more of a text person, I also detail everything below.
My name is Bailey and if one thing on this blog can pique your curiosity to explore a new, place, activity or drink, it'll make my day.
Get the latest posts, boo.
Your information won't be shared or sold to a 3rd party, promise.

Today, we joined thousands of children celebrating Children’s Day at the Universal Studio Singapore. I was told by many that the USS is smaller and “less attractive” than Disneyland Hong Kong. My verdict (after visiting the place): Both themeparks are very different. In my opinion, USS offers more action and drama than Hong Kong Disneyland!
My favourites are the “Revenge of the Mummy” indoor semi-dark roller-coaster ride and the highly-entertaining explosive “WaterWorld” show. “Steven Spielberg’s Special Effects Studio” is awesome! The destruction effects are spectacular! (It surely shocked my kid to the back of the room!) I will give them full marks if they add in the wind / big waves. “Shrek 4D” surpassed my expectation – the show jolted me off the chair with unexpected physical “sensations”.
My only complain is the hot weather. The park management should install more “mist blowers” to cool down the heat. Everything else is great. I am looking forward for their new expansion and add-on attractions in the coming future!

Feb. 24, 2014. The tedious task of preparing the upcoming budget is well underway. In January, capital improvement plan packets were mailed to department heads and returned to the county manager’s office.
Overlapping into the prior weekend, the Watauga County Board of Commissioners held its annual budget retreat on Friday and Saturday, and a meeting with department heads is scheduled for Tuesday with worksheets due back to the finance department by March 20.
Always a hot topic this time of year is funding – or lack thereof – to nonprofits. County staff mailed out requests to funding for outside agencies in early February. Funding to these agencies account for most of the public comment that the commissioners hear during a public hearing on the budget in May.
After reviewing expenditure requests and revenue estimates within the departments and agencies and holding meetings with the individual entities in April, staff will submit its recommended budget to the commissioners to review prior to two work sessions in early May.
A public hearing on the budget will be heard in May and the budget will be adopted in June.
For more details on the 2014-15 budget, check back to HCPress.com or click to the Budget Retreat’s packet.

Each week I’ll be posting the things that have inspired me. Whether it be podcasts, books, research, or people, these are the things I think are worth sharing with everyone to hopefully inspire you as well.
Most of the things we think we need to focus on are things we shouldn’t be focusing on at all. It’s all just noise. We think we can do everything: become a cook, be a parent, learn a language, become a health guru, a blogger, a part-time musician, a video game developer, and on and on.
Focus and Discipline are two of the hardest aspects of achieving anything. One problem seems to be that people focus on too many things. People want to do everything and then when that proves to be too much they end up doing nothing at all.
I’m definitely guilty of this. My brain jumps to many things in rapid succession and it is hard to keep it under control. I’m very curious and I want to learn about and be good at so many different things. There are so many programming languages I want to learn that I dabble a lot and don’t really focus on one. I would like to begin public speaking. I have ideas for three games that I want to create. I’d love to get my guitar skill back to what it used to be. I always thought I’d get back into practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. Hell, at one time I even wanted to become a pro Starcraft player.
People also mistake the role of motivation in discipline. People say things like, “I’m just not motivated to go to the gym.” Substitute gym with anything you want. Things like learn a new language or eat well or go back to school all fit as well. But the fact of the matter is that motivation is fleeting. It is discipline that people need. The people who are successful at whatever they do don’t feel like doing it some days either. But those people show up and put in the reps.
Over the coming days and weeks, I’m going to be writing mostly about these two very important topics: focus and discipline. I’ll be examining books by Dr. Angela Duckworth (Grit), Charles Duhigg (The Power Of Habit, Smarter Faster Better), Stephen Pressfield (The War of Art), to name a few. I’ll be looking at what philosophers like Marcus Aurelius and Seneca had to say on the matter. I’ll also look at a couple of studies on the matter and how we can use the results to help us maintain discipline throughout the day.
This is an extremely interesting topic to me and I can’t wait to learn and share.
Well, I’m back. I’ve been thinking about doing this again for quite some time. Things are settling down as Thing Two approaches the two year mark. It is time to refocus on health and positive change. The format will be close to what it was before, but fewer deep research articles as I don’t have as much time.
Hello again, old friend. Quite some time has passed since we last saw each other. You haven’t changed much, but I have. Not really for the better either. You see, our on-again-off-again relationship over the last ten years have been really hard on me.
Just a guy trying to create positive change in his life. Husband, father, developer, reader, gamer, musician.

Kyosho Inferno MP9 Spy Photos - Click here to order your Kyosho Inferno MP9 Now!
We found some interesting photos of the Kyosho Inferno MP9 on Neo-Buggy.net today and thought we would show you.
You can see the outline of the radio box on the side view of the car revving on the stater box.
It seems clear that the box is much lower profile. It may even use a flat pack battery configuration.
It also seems that there is 2 openings like the old box, very nice.
What else is very evident in these new pictures is how forward the engine really is in the chassis, wow! Just look how low everything is in the chassis.
You can also see the profile of the new side guards and how well they wrap around the chassis.
Everything in the front of the car has also been squeezed forward much tighter.
The rear chassis brace looks really heavy duty and beefy.
There is not much new about the second photo,. The wing stay hight is very visible.

Nearly everyone has auto and home insurance, but most of these insurance-holders have other items aside from their car and their home that are also highly valuable to them. For this reason, many insurance companies in Coppell, Flower Mound, Lewisville, Grapevine, Irving, and other areas of Texas all offer additional insurance coverage plans to ensure that the owner's valuables are always protected. These plans include umbrella insurance, RV insurance, boat insurance, and toy insurance.
If you are an avid outdoors-enthusiast, it's likely that you own a recreational vehicle, or RV. Unless this is your primary automobile, you also likely don't have insurance on this vehicle. If something were to happen to your RV, this could amount to a tremendous loss equal to that of damaging your primary automobile. To keep your RV protected, it's important to purchase RV insurance to prevent loss from unexpected damages.
Many Texas residents live along the coast and enjoy boating in their spare time. A boat may be fun to use recreationally, but it's also a big investment that set you back quite a bit if something were to happen out on the dangerous Gulf of Mexico. With boat insurance, you can focus on enjoying the sport of boating without risking a huge loss in the event of an accident.
We might not be kids anymore, but we all still have a personal toy that holds both sentimental and monetary value. This can be anything from a $3,000 camera or an antique electric guitar. Toy insurance would cover all of these valuable items that may or may not be included in your general home insurance coverage plan.
Finally, umbrella insurance covers everything left behind after all of your other coverage plans are put in place. This type of insurance usually covers things you may not have thought of when purchasing insurance, or it might just cover any excess costs that your original auto or home insurance plan didn't cover. It's called umbrella insurance because it's always there for you on a rainy day.
When you purchase additional insurance coverage plans with the agency itself, it's impossible to weigh the pros and cons in an unbiased manner. Alternatively, you can compare insurance quotes from an independent agent, like The Select Insurance Agency, to answer your questions and concerns with complete honesty and no ulterior motive. A knowledgeable insurance agent at The Select Insurance Agency can help you make the most appropriate decision for your needs, while comparing quotes to find the best price available.

With a show of online head nods, how many people who are reading this remembers how did they win or how did they lose?
And why is that? It's because when you are playing a match, everyone tends to autopilot specific sequences, which can be good or bad, based on the player you are going against — but in the end its not something to be proud of.
One thing about growing as a player is to try to have multiple styles for your character.
Now this part isn't very easy, because if you are usually an defensive player, than most of the time your offense is not amazing. Same goes with having a strong offense, but that doesn't mean you should ignore having a good defense as well.
In this chapter, I will be explaining the benefits of having different styles and why it will help you win in certain scenarios/match ups.
I watch a lot of fighting game streams and there are many times where I see people in the chat type "Downloaded" or "He got figured out."
This chapter will focus on how to distinguish that YOU are being downloaded, and once you do realize that you are being downloaded, how to interrupt the download, and continue on playing YOUR game.
Many people do not even realize that the download has already begun. Here is a common one that happens a lot but people do not realize it.
Since Capcom Cup is in a couple of months and this tier list was long overdue I decided to work on it now.
It's to give you guys some information maybe that you need to win or some motivation to pick up a new character.
And please remember this is my opinion on all these characters and anyone can disagree or agree.
I will have a grade system running from S+, S, S-, A+, A, A- B+, B, B-, C+ C, C- and D with S+ being highest and D being lowest.
I will be providing which gem set should be best with the characters. There are only 5 tournament default gems and will be numbering them from 1-5.
Example: 1 is the three power gems and 2 is the three defense power gems and etc. We will start with the Capcom Cast first. (Will not be doing Toro, Kuro, Megaman, and Pac-Man).
There will be times when you will fight someone completely brand new, and you do not have the data on how to deal with newly fought opponents.
This chapter will talk about on what kind of things that you can do to figure out what type of opponent you will be playing against.
At a tournament not everyone you come across will be a top player, good player, average player or even a bad player. How can you determine what type of player is a "Johnny Doughnuts?" Now if you think about what the highest level of players can do, they usually have the following qualities.
Hey guys, this time this tier list will consist of the cast in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Now before I start I just want to say this is my opinion on all these characters and anyone can disagree or agree.
Hit the link below to check out the list.
Hey everyone, these next few articles will be interesting. I will be providing my opinion on how each of the characters in Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 rank, before branching into other games.
I'll give an overview of what their pros and cons are, and who would be a good partner if you need a secondary character.
I will have a grade system running from S+, S, S-, A+, A, A- B+, B, B- and C, with S+ being highest and C being lowest.
I have been playing a lot of Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 and Street Fighter X Tekken v2013 online recently and its been really fun.
I played many high ranked players and they know their frame traps, setups, option selects and match ups. They would probably do very well in tournament.
Now, the downside of being an online warrior is that you will have bad habits and you will also be guessing a lot on wake up, jumping a lot or mashing an invincible move out all the time.
Every region or area, there will be that person who is the best on their block. That person can also be a trend setter on what the community will use or what does that specific community deem top tier. Knowing this information is extremely important if you like to travel a lot for tournaments or if you are an up and comer player who doesn't know much outside of YOUR community.
Here is a list of examples that you can see what I mean. There may be more players I might have forgotten but you will understand the concept.
Step Up Your Game: Chapter 9 - What did I do wrong?
You're ready for the tournament and you believe you will beat some top players, make top 8 or even win the tournament. But then something happens... You don't beat any top players, or make top 8 or even win the tournament at all.
I think a lot of players have potential talent and they could possibly be the next top player, but they might have the jitters and choke in tournament. You think to yourself that wasn't me playing up there, I usually do a lot better when I am playing casuals in my boxers at home.
Here are some things you need to do to improve at the next tournament.
1. Have a video recording of all your matches, win and losses.
2. Study them and try to realize the faults in the matches.
3. Think about what you could have done better (a more damaging combo).
4. Practice against the technique that caused your loss.
5. Run it back the next tournament.
There has been a lot of fighting games that have came out after the release of Street Fighter 4. We have Marvel vs Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat 9, Street fighter X Tekken, Skullgirls, King of Fighters 13 and many more.
A lot of the times, the majority of people are big fighting games fans and would love to play multiple fighting titles well at tournaments. All too often, it takes too much time to absorb the fighting game knowledge from that game and apply it when it comes time to play in a tournament.
I will be giving some tips on how to approach a new game and how to learn it quickly.
A lot of players have trouble deciding which character(s) to pick in Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012. Here is my breakdown on what characters might fit your offensive, defensive, or balanced style.
The next couple of chapters, I will be focusing on how to find your team or character(s) in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012, Street Fighter X Tekken and whatever games that YOU guys want me to explain to the best of my ability on how to pick characters.
It is really hard to find a team that fits your particular style in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I want to break down how I feel a character should be played, by separating them into three categories; Rush Down, Runaway/Keep away and Safe Rush — the latter of which meaning they can do both rush down and runaway/keep away.
As everyone knows, there are so many different types of fighting games, and its hard to play all of them. It is difficult to change from a fast pace Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 mindset to an Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 mindset, etc. The most common flaw is that many people leave traces of their SSF4 AE v2012 gameplay in their UMvC3 gameplay (I won't blow up any names *laughs*).
You can tell when you see someone just sit there and try to block a dangerous mixup in UMvC3. In my opinion, when you are playing a game like Marvel, I believe that you should always be moving with your character as fast as possible. Mobility is super important in Marvel, while in SSF4 AE v2012, sitting back and defending is far more important.
There comes to a point where a player has reached a certain level that they cannot plateau any higher. Now they are desperately doing worse, not as confident as before, and their drive is slowly drifting away. You practiced your combos in the training room, you beat the computer senseless a million times, and you have exposed yourself in a tournament environment. What else is missing? Why am I doing worse? It’s an easy answer that most people don’t realize. Your love of the game is lost. All you want to do now is to win and prove yourself to the community that you’re a top player.
This is a very common situation for lots of players, but having love for the game or for your character will show a lot more signs of improvement than someone whose only interest is to win. If you look at the player DJ Huoshen on how he play and how he reacts to things. You can tell that he loves to play with the team he uses; Felicia/Skrull/Taskmaster. He loves this game and he takes the game as it is. He understands that the game is cheap and his characters have a high chance of losing but he makes it work and still comes out on top. Why? Because he loves to play the game. He doesn’t just care about winning. Winning is nice but staying true to your heart means a lot more and that’s where winning matters the most.
This obviously doesn’t mean that if you pick the character you like, you will win all your matches. There are broken things in every game that will just prevent your success. *Cough* Phoenix *Cough* but as long as you tried your best and your love in the game will be there, you will have a much more clearer outlook on things and what little things to improve on for your next match, tournament, and etc.
One of the hardest things to achieve is being able to play the way you want to play under a huge amount of pressure. Some players love the pressure and some players despise it. I personally love playing under pressure. I believe that I make some of the best comebacks when I am under pressure which is how the “Wong Factor” came up. Many players have gotten some awesome comeback victories when a huge crowd is watching. We have Peter “Bionic Arm” Rosas, Daigo “Lets Go Justin” Umehara and many more.
In order to see if you can play under pressure, you can do the following things.
Play on an online stream such as Peaceful Jay or Shoryuken.
Travel to a local tourney and see how well you do in the tourney with actual people.
What is a Training Mode Monster? A Training Mode Monster is someone who has great execution in terms of combos in the Training Room. Most common problems are that majority of the players are Training Mode Monsters which means that in an actual match, their execution goes down by a lot.
Not being able to land your combos against a moving target (Computer/Human opponent) is what a lot of players suffer from.
There are ways to increase your percentage of being able to land your combos against moving targets or in high pressure situations. When I was growing up, I played against the computer every day. Even though the computer isn’t really challenging, it still gives you an opportunity to land combos in many types of situations and not just a non-movable dummy. The computer will stand, crouch, jump, spam an unsafe move and more, but this is beneficial for the player because you will be able to change up the type of combos due to the situation.

Third Space Brewing, 1505 W. St. Paul Ave., has seen unprecedented growth in its first year, adding three full-time and 11 part-time employees, gleaning increased exposure in retail establishments and earning multiple honors including RateBeer’s Best New Brewer (Wisconsin) award in 2017 and a gold medal from the Great American Beer Festival for its “Unite the Clans” Scottish-style rye ale.
And, according to an announcement made today, the brewery owned by Andy Gehl and brewmaster Kevin Wright, is on track for an even greater expansion in 2018.
Gehl notes that the expansion plans wouldn’t be possible without loyal beer drinkers who have gotten behind the brewery and its local brews.
On the production side, the brewery plans to add two 90-barrel fermentation tanks along with a 90-barrel bright tank, allowing the brewery to increase its capacity to 7,500 barrels annually.
“This addition will set us up for future growth and help us meet anticipated demand during the peak summer months,” noted Wright, adding that a new state-of-the-art five-barrel pilot system will offer greater freedom to test new recipes, materials and processes. The pilot system will also be used to introduce new products, including additional releases of “In the Spirit” brews and specialty IPAs.
Meanwhile, a new whirlpool vessel will increase efficiency and enable the brewery to keep up with an increasingly expanded cellar capacity and a bulk malt silo (visible in front of the brewery) will facilitate bulk malt deliveries.
Fans of Third Space brews will also be excited to note that the brewery has partnered with Beechwood Sales and Service of New Berlin for distribution of product. So, beginning in the new year, consumers should start to see additional availability of product throughout Southeast Wisconsin.
Third Space Brewing is also getting appropriately festive for the season. Join in on these fun events and promotions during the holiday season.
Acres Edge Cans: Third Space is launching cans of their Acres Edge Toasted Oatmeal Stout beginning today (Dec. 20)! They will be available at the taproom and at a limited number of retail locations that carry Third Space beers. On Saturday evening, Dec. 23, Third Space will be selling pints of Acres Edge for $4 with all proceeds going to summer camp scholarships at Camp Minikani, where Gehl and Wright met and where the Acres Edge campsite is located that gave this beer it’s name.
Holiday Ugly Sweater Koozies: To add some happy to the holiday season Third Space has Ugly Sweater Koozies available for sale in the taproom and as giveaways at events around town.
Great beer gifts: And, of course, there is always great Third Space merchandise to purchase for the beer lover in your life. Currently, they are running a special on the “State of Craft Beer” coffee table book. Anyone who buys the book gets a free pint and pint glass.

In its tenth year, the free Festival kicks off the summer in the Erie region.
Every year, upon the third weekend of May, raining or shining or whatever, summer's always dropped in – all informal-like, in a free-and-easy, three-day stretch – and art and music, rooted and rich and colorful and cool, abound in nearby Edinboro.
And this weekend, lucky for you and lucky for me, is no different.
Like it always has, the Downtown Edinboro Art and Music Festival – a good one, to be sure, deep-steeped and well-simmered in the fine, long-storied lines of Appalachian music and folk traditions – will, for its 10th year, happily usher in the summer music season in and around our getting-greener region.
Now, I've been here and there for most of the Downtown Edinboro Art and Music fests over the course of that decade – sunny Edinboro's where I call home, you know. And one of the coolest things, I've found, is that no matter where you go (and it's a pretty good-and-sizable gathering, one that may attract some thousands over that three-day stretch), it feels small and intimate, unhurried and always of-the-heart.
That could be, at least partly, because it's the kind of festival where everything – tons of live music, open workshops, and a whole lot more – is happening all over the place, all the time, making for happenings galore within the happening at-large.
The fest kicks off with its traditional opening jam by organizers/hosts/pickers Fred Parker and Friends, and following headliner performance by longtime area jam mainstays Donna the Buffalo (considered by many to be masters, and among the first in the herd, of the modern roots-rock-groove revolution) Thursday night at Culbertson Hills.
And, from there, for a good few days, it just sorta doesn't stop.
Along with local favorites like Eric Brewer & Friends, Potwhole, Claire Stuczynski, and Tiger Maple String Band, and regional and national acts like Blue Sky Mission Club, Big Daddy Zydeco, Jim Avett, and Driftwood, there are dozens of bands and performers – and lots of worthwhile music, arts, and crafts workshop presenters, too – doing their things at different venues and locales, indoors and out, in and all around downtown Edinboro.
That's right – free. A real good time that, beside whatever you may wanna spend once you're there, doesn't have to cost you a dime.
It's really close by, and genuinely family-friendly, too, so, if other, unrelated plans for your weekend aren't already pre-set in motion, there's really no reason not to go check it out.
Those who make the Downtown Edinboro Art and Music Festival happen every year – a dozens-strong, all-volunteer core of folks from all throughout the Edinboro community (businesspeople, artists, musicians, townies, students, and others) certainly agree most heartily. Recently, as they worked to bring all the festival's finishing touches together, I took some time to talk all about it with Fred Parker, local musician (he leads the festival's host band, Tiger Maple), gallery owner, and one of the festival's chief organizers.
Ryan Smith: Hey, Fred. So, we should start off by talking a little about 2014 being the Downtown Art and Music Festival's 10th year. Does it feel like you all have been at this for a full decade now?
Fred Parker: Not really – well, sometime it does, and sometimes it doesn't! It's definitely a milestone. It shows we have some momentum, and some sustainability. [But overall], it doesn't feel like it's been 10 years.
RS: Tell people who may not be too familiar a little about what the Edinboro Downtown Music Festival is all about.
FP: For me, it's like the kick-off for whole festival season in the area as we know it. It's the first one that really gets that ball rolling.
RS: Agreed, man. So, has it gotten easier to work out the logistics of presenting the festival as an all-free, all-inclusive event each year, or do you always face the same sets of challenges from an organizational perspective?
FP: It does get a little bit easier. We wouldn't begin to be able to do this without the help of our many, many volunteers [about 50-plus in total]. It's a lot of people making a lot of things happen.
RS: Well, you're all doing some fine work, Fred. That said, tell me about the philosophy behind the Downtown Art and Music Festival. What's it about, and why do you think so many people find supporting it, as a free-and-open event year after year, to be so worthwhile?
FP: The original intent of the whole festival was to create something free and open to the whole population – whoever that might be. Everyone is welcome.
We're giving something to the community that people desperately need in their lives – music, and art. [Both are] such critical things we need to have in our lives.
RS: Very true. So, then, tell those who've never been before just a bit about what they may expect to encounter – besides lots of great music and great art – at the festival.
FP: You're gonna run into a lotta good people, all there for the same reason – to celebrate music, art and hangin' out with each other.
The whole thing's just about having a good time, and generating a feeling of community. That can enrich our town, our society ... I dunno, maybe even our world.
Steeped in Appalachian-roots traditions and celebrating a decade of ushering in the summer festival season by welcoming great performers, artists, and an array of workshops – all free and open – right into Erie's own backyard, the Edinboro Art and Music Festival is Thursday, May 15 through Sunday, May 18 on multiple stages and various venues, both indoor and out, in the beautiful 'Boro.
For the full lineup, directions to performance/exhibit venues and other locales in and about town, and plenty of other details about this year's festival, visit edinboroartandmusic.com.
And we'll see you somewhere there.

As I left Sydney for Victoria only a couple of years after Halcyon's formation, I haven't had the pleasure of watching the ensemble close up as it developed concert by concert. I admired Halcyon from afar, of course, and was well acquainted with the individual work of many of the musicians involved, so was delighted when Jenny Duck-Chong contacted me a few years back about performing my Sappho's Reply, a short work for women's voices. One of the striking things about Halcyon is how several strong and attractive musical personalities retain their individual qualities while producing such beautifully integrated interpretations. Halcyon's dedication to new work has been exemplary; the results are performances of the highest standard, both of newly commissioned and established works.
Last year in Sydney, Jenny sang in the Australian premiere of my Goodison Quartet no 1: Country Music, in a fantastic program that Halcyon presented with the Acacia Quartet. So, like many colleagues, I regarded it as an absolute pleasure to contribute a work to Halcyon's 15th birthday celebrations, and to conceive of such a work according to the overarching and capacious 'kingfisher' theme. (We have kingfishers around here. The one pictured, Amfortas, dived under our car and emerged unscathed except for a tonsure, and while recuperating proved a friendly, fearless and funny little bird.) After some trawling through kingfisher-related literature - sadly, TS Eliot and Gerard Manley Hopkins weren't Australian, and I wanted to use an Australian text if possible - I decided to go with the broader oceanic theme that Alison and Jenny mentioned in their brief.
The requirement for an Australian text was met when I was leafing through The Jaguar's Dream, a volume of translations of, and riffs on, a range of non-English poetry, by John Kinsella - one of this country's greatest poets, and one whose work I have set in various other pieces. Nearly 30 years ago I composed a set of songs to poetry by Charles Baudelaire (who, I had to inform a publisher, wasn't Australian either, and, having gone to his eternal reward, didn't need the royalties) the first of which was his sonnet 'La musique', of which John has a beautiful version in this collection.
For Baudelaire, 'Music often carries me away like a sea!/ Toward my pale star…' and his poem continues this metaphor, the lungs of the singer swelling like sails, the journey encompassing steep, exhilarating waves, tempestuous passion, becalmed despair. My setting uses soprano, mezzo and an ensemble of clarinet, vibraphone and cello, and, while Baudelaire was thinking of Beethoven when he wrote his poem, I think its imagery of the protean and powerful nature of the sea is an apt image for music generally. And I can't think of a better way in which to thank Halcyon's musicians for their years of work in service of our art.

Buying a home can be an exciting prospect, but there are definitely a few hoops you’ll have to jump through before you can sign on the dotted line and get the keys to your new home. First and foremost, you have to seek properties that interest you. And although you likely have a price range in mind, along with a list of amenities (number of rooms, neighborhood, and so on), it could still be difficult to find the home that is perfect for you and your family. Then you have to get approved for a loan, put in an offer, and get through escrow before you can start the process of moving in. Of course, the main concern for most people, once they’ve found the home of their dreams, is the cost. And if you can find a way to bring it down there’s no reason you wouldn’t. In this regard, the ERATE application can help you.
In a nutshell, this app gives you access to current mortgage rates, by lender, so you can directly compare competitive rates for CashCall, Amerisave, Quicken Loans, and all kinds of other lenders. In addition, you have dozens of options when it comes to searching for the best rates for your home loan. You can search for adjustable or fixed rates in common increments like 15 or 30 years, as well as interest-only and jumbo options, amongst other things. And in addition to the rates offered by each lender, the app also provides intel on APR, points, fees, monthly payments (based on the loan amount), and periods for locking in rates. So it not only delivers a current snapshot of where mortgage rates are at, but it also works as a mortgage calculator to help home buyers figure out what they’ll actually be paying on a monthly basis. This can extremely handy for both those that are looking to purchase a home and those that are interested in refinancing a loan for the property they already have.
But it doesn’t end there. You might think that the app has outlived its usefulness once you’ve completed your home purchase or refi, but it goes a step further by providing users with credit card rates. There are several criteria that you can search by in this area, as well, such as best rewards, lowest APR, no annual fees, and the best cards for students, small businesses, and so on. In addition, the app will sort your results according to categories like introductory rates (and periods), annual rates, the type of rate, and even annual and late fees associated with the card. So you can narrow your search according to specific features you’re seeking.
This freebie for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch is designed to work in both portrait and landscape mode so that you can view all of your data on one screen (without having to scroll sideways as well as up and down). In addition, the app is ad-free. But aside from the ease of use, the main draw of this app is obvious. You’ll have to go elsewhere for home insurance rates (like mortgagelifeinsurance.org.uk), but ERATE can provide you with the information you need to buy a home, refinance the one you’ve got, or upgrade to a better credit card with current interest rates and a slew of search options.

(HealthDay News) -— There is a strong association between severe untreated obstructive sleep apnea and resistant elevated blood pressure, despite treatment with an aggressive antihypertensive medication regimen, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.
Harneet K. Walia, MD, from the Cleveland Clinic, and colleagues analyzed baseline data for 284 participants in the multisite, randomized controlled Heart Biomarker Evaluation in Apnea Treatment trial.
Taking three or more antihypertensives, including a diuretic, defined an intensive antihypertensive regimen (IAR). Blood pressure (BP) was characterized as controlled BP (BP <130/80 mm Hg), uncontrolled elevated BP (BP ≥130/80 mm Hg not on IAR) and resistant elevated BP (BP ≥130/80 mm Hg despite IAR).
The researchers found that 23.6% of patients had severe obstructive sleep apnea, 61.6% had controlled BP, 28.5% had uncontrolled elevated BP and 9.9% had resistant elevated BP.
Resistant elevated BP was more prevalent in those with severe vs.moderate obstructive sleep apnea (58.3% vs. 28.6%; P=.01), among those prescribed IAR. There were four-fold higher adjusted odds of resistant elevated BP among participants with severe obstructive sleep apnea, a finding not reproduced in the absence of IAR use.
“Our findings suggest that severe obstructive sleep apnea contributes to poor blood pressure control despite aggressive medication use,” Walia said in a statement.

ZeroOne Systems Inc of Santa Clara, California has introduced an enhancement package for the Convex C-1 mini-supercomputer designed to turn it into a powerful front-end system to Cray-1 and Cray X-MP supercomputers. The idea of the enhancements to the Richardson, Texas manufacturer’s 64-bit C-1 is that users are able to develop code and perform a variety of other operations on the Convex system, which is cheaper than a Cray supercomputer, and then process it on the Cray; in the meantime the Cray can be fully used running more valuable production work. Enhancements to the Convex include Cray station software and Cray Fortran software development tools, both developed by ZeroOne. The enhanced Convex uses a vectorising compiler combined with a ZeroOne Cray Fortran preprocessor, which enable software developers to write and debug code in Fortran on the C-1 before running it on the Cray. The enhanced C-1 can also be used as a powerful stand-alone code development system that can be networked to Unix-based minicomputers and workstations. Prices for ZeroOne’s enhanced version of the C-1 start at $495,000.

Sasaki Time: Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - Jack and the Franchise are Back!
Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - Jack and the Franchise are Back!
Jack is back, Captain Jack Sparrow that is! The fifth adventure in the Pirates of The Caribbean franchise hits theaters May 26th! Hard to believe that it has been fourteen years since the first one arrived back in 2003. At that time pirate movies had long been considered to be a failed genre but Pirates proved everyone wrong with an incredible cast, fantastic story and a powerful musical score!
Since then, three more films followed, and here we are six years after Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. In that time we have seen the Walt Disney Studios live action fare go from trying to replicate the Pirates formula to almost not needing it at all. In fact, all the studios under the Walt Disney Studios umbrella are firing on all cylinders. The Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and Walt Disney live action are creating blockbuster after blockbuster. So while maybe another Pirates film wasn't needed, it was easy to see that Dead Men Tell No Tales is a much needed breath of fresh air into the franchise.
The film is brilliantly directed by Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg (the duo directed the historical drama Kon-Tiki) who immediately bring us back into the world of Pirates with a reminder that this film is a direct sequel to the third movie in the franchise, At World's End, rather than continuing after On Stranger Tides. Without giving anything away, you quickly learn that there is a quest to find the Trident of Poseidon. And an early action sequence made me think of the Fast and The Furious franchise set in the time period of Pirates and you are back into the swashbuckling fun of the original movie.
Johnny Depp, stars as his now iconic Captain Jack Sparrow, down on his luck and once again finds another person from his past out to get their revenge on him. This time the menace is Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), a Spanish Navy Captain, whom a young Jack Sparrow caused the events that led to Salazar's nightmarish curse.
Barbosa (Geoffrey Rush) is also back and causes a wedge between Sparrow and Salazar. And the two newcomers, Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario) and Henry (Brenton Thwaites) make a charming hero/heroine duo that do not try to mimic Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly. Full of action, close-calls, battles of ships and swords, you have all that you need for an amazing adventure.
This is a brilliant return to the franchise that is more grounded and level-headed than the last two films. The film also ends on a surprisingly heartfelt note. Welcome back pirates, thank you for bringing back the fun of the first adventure.
Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales sails into theaters May 26th!

On a bright sunny day during my holidays my family and I went to Gravity. It was the most exciting thing. When we got there, we wore our gravity socks, went in and started jumping around and around. As we were jumping around and having fun and as I was looking around, what I spotted in the corner was a dodge ball. When I told my family, they were very excited to try it out. That was fun. After having fun at gravity, it was time to go home and have a rest to go the church.
I really ENJOYED jumping around with my family at the gravity. To me it was a fun holiday, because I got to spend more time with my family.

Recently during my travels for the Sierra Nevada Energy Watch project, I came across a group that has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars of work to the Empire Mine State Park in Grass Valley.
They call themselves “The Over the Hill Gang.” This local treasure consists of a dedicated group of individuals who contribute their time and expertise to keep the park running and in its prime.
This weekend I attended an inspiring, local event in the town of Truckee, where Sierra Business Council is headquartered.
It was the Sierra Green Buildings Association’s Annual Fall Green Building Tour.
Fall is a particularly beautiful time of year in the Sierra Nevada, especially when the trees have their brilliant colors of yellow and red as they do in Sonora this week.
It is hard to believe that only a month ago our towns were filled with smoke, that we struggled with the knowledge that our town might not survive the economic hardships brought on by the Rim Fire, and that we lost many of our favorite recreation areas.
Even a black-thumbed plant assassin like me can love the tradition of a barn raising: it’s a beautiful thing to envision a community gathering together to put its collective shoulders and backs into the heavy lifting required to assemble an essential new structure for a neighbor’s ranch or farm.
Everyone involved gets the satisfaction of helping improve the community as a whole by directly supporting an individual. The farmer gets a new barn, the community gets a thriving, happy neighbor producing and flowing both food and money back into the local economy. Importantly … and it really is important … everyone also gets to revel in shared victory inside the newly completed structure.
Brittany Benesi is the Communications Director for Sierra Business Council, promoting programmatic work that catalyzes community, economic, and environmental vitality throughout the Sierra Nevada. Originally from Seattle, Brittany has lived and worked in the Truckee/Tahoe area for the past four years. While finishing her degree, Brittany worked as a Youth Mentor with Seattle Tilth’s Youth Garden Works Program, helping homeless and disadvantaged adolescents develop job skills through urban agriculture. Once in Tahoe, Brittany started her work with Sierra Business Council as a Communications Intern and quickly made her mark with her focus on positivity, team building, and a commitment to the triple bottom line. Brittany is a graduate of Seattle University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Studies, a specialization in Education and Communications and a minor in Psychology.
As a child of the Pacific Northwest, Brittany grew up with a full appreciation for the natural world and the amazing recreating opportunities found therein. As a Sierra Nevada resident, Brittany especially enjoys running, hiking, snowboarding, stand up paddle boarding, and any time she gets to be outside with her husband, Steven, and canine companion, Shasta.
It’s never easy coming home from a great trip –especially when what could have been a vacation was actually part of my job!
Coming home has given me the opportunity to see Truckee and its businesses through a new lens though, one that shows the real value of acting local.

Technology has changed the way we buy goods dramatically, with so much shopping now done online with the click of a mouse.
A trip to the supermarket no longer needs much human interaction with hand-held scanners replacing a bit of craic with a shopkeeper or at the cash-till.
So we’ve decided to take a dander back in time to when services came with a personal touch.
Our gallery includes great old images of delivery men using a horse and cart – and their own broad shoulders – to bring milk, spuds and coal to houses across Belfast.
There’s the Ormo drivers standing proudly in a long line beside their vans which used to “float” around the streets.
Dressed in smart long white coats with brown money bags, they brought fresh bread from the bakery on the Ormeau Road to your front door.
We’ve also put in great images showing the city at work in many trades which have now disappeared into history.
They range from an iconic still of young girls from a linen mill to distillery and cigarette factory workers.
Two of the most moving images are of young paper delivery boys in Shaftesbury Square as the Belfast Telegraph is handed out, and a crowd of ship workers all wearing their “duncher” caps and donkey jackets.
And the picture of the road workers on Oxford Street has more than meets the eye.
A closer look shows they have uncovered an old underground railway tunnel that used to carry steam trains travelling on the Belfast Central Railway from where they entered the tunnel on Laganbank Road to were it came out on Donegall Quay.
The trains carried goods from the docks to the main rail networks and parts of the old tunnels were later developed into what became the pedestrian "subways" around Ann Street that still exist today.
We hope you enjoy the gallery as much we we did putting it together.
As always, get back to us with your thoughts via our comment section and don’t forget to check out more great pix at the Old Belfast Facebook site.

Many people therefore would not wager on the Toledo Firecrackers to win in a Betanysports straight-up suit.

LONG ISLAND — Konstantine “Gus” Sousouris, the Long Island con man who was the subject of two PIX11 News reports last year, has been arrested and charged with numerous crimes.
The Nassau County District Attorney announced Sousouris faces three counts of scheme to defraud, for advertising an apartment for rent in Farmingdale, collecting $16,850 in deposits from three applicants, not allowing any of them to move in and failing to return their money.
These are felony charges punishable by up to seven years in prison.
Sousouris is also alleged to have operated GC Home Improvement without a valid license -- a misdemeanor. And he’s charged with writing two checks, for $4,000 and $6,000, knowing there were not sufficient funds to cover them, while doing business as My Big Fat Greek Bistro Corp. -- another misdemeanor.
He has pleaded not guilty and was released from jail after posting $8,000 bail.
PIX11 has learned that Sousouris has come up with a new way of ripping people off. He is lying about his name.
“He introduced himself as Kostas. Gave me a business card as Kostas," teacher Melissa Volpe said.
She said she gave him a $6,000 deposit to supply and install cabinets and quartz countertops in her kitchen.
“I was strung along for months, saying your cabinets are coming, they’re stuck in Texas,” she said.
The materials never arrived and his promises to return her money were lies.
When she did a background check on "Kostas," she discovered the man who ripped her off was really Gus Sousouris. He was using his brother-in-law’s name, Kostas Manasakas. He owns Superior Stone and Interiors in West Babylon, a long-standing business with a good reputation.
There is no evidence Manasakas knew about Sousouris scamming Volpe. Still, when PIX11 went with her to speak with him, Manasakas agreed to install the countertops she’d paid for, free of charge.
Sousouris told PIX11 he regrets using his brother-in-law’s name.
The Nassau County District Attorney believes there may be other victims of Sousouris' various scams and asks they call their tip line at 516-571-7755.

There are two sides to the coin. Anytime you point out something, it could go either way. If you tell the Department of Health that there’s something wrong with the rating system, they could either say, “Wow, let’s look into that” or they could play defensive. Generally, agencies are defensive, but there’s also not a good mechanism for them to take in information like this. They get caught off guard. I hope in the coming years they build in ways to reach out like this. If there were a liaison I could reach out to, maybe I would go that route. But right now, the only way to get attention is through the media. Unfortunately, that can create an adversarial relationship, which I think is the wrong way to look at open data. I really believe that if you empower people, you’ll get much more out than you’ll get criticism.

There is a lot to learn from motivational articles. Many people find that their lives can be significantly altered by reading this type of literature. Learning that others have overcome obstacles far greater than theirs gives them the hope and inspiration to continue.
Millions of people will admit, when asked, that they struggle to stay motivated. Every newspaper and news broadcast seems to be filled with doom and gloom. The global financial systems are in danger of collapse and there is talk about depression. These are just a few of the reasons why so many people are in need of motivational articles.

I went to see Enchanted this evening with my Mom and it was delightful. The movie was a great mix of the Classic Disney Princess stories. It was cute funny and sweet and in my opinion one of the best Disney movies to come out in a long time.
The movie also had a great message about love and marriage. It made me happy to see a movie that actually had A couple who was trying to divorce work out their differences.
The movie is a must see with a great cast and the music isn't to bad either. The setting in New York brings Fantasy into reality and reminds us that true love is possible.
If you want a feel good family movie and your a fan of the Classic Disney movies you should definitely check out this movie this Holiday season.

I need a quiet time. I have many things I want to think about it.
I believed busy can make me do more things. But now I feel busy make me too tired, want to give up, hard to do anything and cannot think about my life.
I cannot clearly think about my goal, what I want to become, what I want to get. It'll make me cannot achieve anything.
No, no, no... don't lament.
I will try by my best. I can do it.

Charlottesville, VA — Ageing vessels connecting the brain and the immune system play critical roles in both Alzheimer’s disease and the decline in cognitive ability that comes with time, new research reveals.
By improving the function of the lymphatic vessels, scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have dramatically enhanced aged mice’s ability to learn and improved their memories. The work may provide doctors an entirely new path to treat or prevent Alzheimer’s disease, age-related memory loss and other neurodegenerative diseases.
The researchers have published their findings in the journal Nature. Antoine Louveau, who was the first author on the original discovery of the meningeal lymphatics, and Da Mesquita are the first authors of the paper. The team also included Andrea Vaccari, Igor Smirnov, R. Chase Cornelison, Kathryn M. Kingsmore, Christian Contarino, Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, Emily Farber, Daniel Raper, Kenneth E. Viar, Romie D. Powell, Wendy Baker, Nisha Dabhi, Robin Bai, Rui Cao, Song Hu, Stephen S. Rich, Jennifer M. Munson, M. Beatriz Lopes, Christopher C. Overall and Scott T. Acton.
Kipnis emphasized the collaborative nature of the work, noting the importance of many different areas of expertise. For example, the project included big data processing by Christopher Overall from the Department of Neuroscience/BIG centre and contributions from Acton and Vaccari from the Virginia Image and Video Analysis Laboratory at UVA. Other important contributions came from UVA’s Center for Public Health Genomics, the Department of Neurosurgery and UVA’s Department of Biomedical Engineering. (The Department of Biomedical Engineering itself is a joint collaboration of UVA’s School of Medicine and School of Engineering.) “It’s another exemplification of how today research cannot be done in one place and one lab,” Kipnis said.

An uncanny number of these had either too many close fits or no very close fits. Tricky.
...I could not be more flattered! Did you know I have given up smoking though?
*thinks* Erm yes, I did... don't know if I considered that at the time though.
Also, if I was on my friends list, I'd have picked myself for 'elitist'. Interesting.
I'm hoping you mean cuddly in the sense of 'likes cuddles', not in the sense of 'fat'?
in the sense that cuddling you is rather wonderful, not least because you have such fabulous skin?
In the sense of "likes and is very good at, and is by far the person I cuddle the most", yes.

A Chapin High School senior who is Harvard University-bound and received a nearly perfect SAT score is on the shortlist to become one of the few students named 2018 Military Child of the Year by a nonprofit working with military families.
Operation Homefront announced earlier this month that Chapin’s Bryce Kim is one of 15 students nationwide to compete to represent the U.S. Army in the national scholarship contest. A total of 95 semifinalists were announced for all six branches of the Armed Forces.
“El Paso doesn’t always have a semifinalist every year and so it’s an honor just to bring this kind of recognition to our school and Chapin,” Kim said.
The Military Child of the Year is awarded to six students representing each branch of the Armed Forces – Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and National Guard. The honor is awarded to students based on their volunteerism, leadership, extracurricular involvement and other criteria while facing the challenges of military family life.
“This is my 11th school now and the fact that I was able to transition smoothly and succeed academically as well as be involved in athletics and community service really helped,” Kim said.
The Chapin Husky, who competes in cross country and track, also is a Student Ambassador and member of the National Honor Society.
Churchill wrote a letter of recommendation on Kim’s behalf for the application process. Her letter stressed how he embodies the army’s core values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor and integrity and personal courage which makes him an ideal candidate to represent the Army as the Military Child of the Year.
The award recipients will travel to Washington, D.C. to be recognized at an April 19 gala, during which senior leaders of each branch of service will present the awards. The winners will receive a $10,000 scholarship, a laptop and other gifts. Kim is the only finalist in the El Paso area and among three in Texas competing to represent the Army.

She is resistant to toothbrushing in the morning and at night. Mother has tried multiple types of toothpaste and toothbrushes and nothing seems to work with her.
Limited play due to poor endurance. She is unable to play continuously with toys, play with others, or play with toys that have some strength to them. She has to take breaks and she gets frustrated when she is unable to play.
Educating the parent or caregiver will allow them to understand what they are seeing, what they should be looking for, what the concerns are, and what are some activities to do with the child in order to help the child improve. Parents may be encouraged to reach out and attend social groups to better connect with other families facing the same difficulties.
Parent education helps the therapist maintain the plan by following a schedule, corrected foods and liquids, and learning a routine.
The use of positive reinforcement will help increase desired behaviors while ignoring negative behaviors. Brooke is not wanting to try solid foods, use utensils, or use cups. Applying regular exposure and rewarding the child with positive reinforcement will eventually improve self-feeding and food consumption. Some examples of positive reinforcement that can be given are: social attention, verbal praise, TV time, playing with toys, or prizes.
For example, presenting a spoon during pureed food or dry cereal meal time, the spoon should be presented at the child's vision arid at the level of the lower lip. You can stimulate a sucking movement and if the child eats the food, the therapist will give positive reinforcement with one of the examples above. After positive reinforcement is given, the child is more likely to do it again next time the spoon is presented.
It is important to analyze the task into small, discrete steps, manipulate the antecedent condition by presenting food or liquid in a way that allows the child to complete the behavior expected successfully, and produce clear consequences for not completing the task as well as positive reinforcements for completing the task.
Children with oral sensitivity often turn away from feeding or toothbrushing activities, restrict food variety, or gag frequently. Using slow linear rocking before oral stimulation calms the child in order to create a balance of stimulating and calming sensory input.
Stimulations like gloved fingers, vibrating toys, teething ring, warm wash cloth, or a toothbrush can help improve oral sensory processing. It may help to start in the distal limbs like shoulders and arms before reaching cheeks and lips.
While practicing toothbrushing, the child is improving on motor control and coordination. The stimulators help gain trust in the child by being comfortable when objects are by the mouth.
This intervention can be graded by watching the child during toothbrushing time to see what reactions are given and the outcome of the process. It can be adapted to be easier or harder depending on how the child performs like having assistance making the movements in his mouth or making him brush for a longer period of time.
This intervention can be graded up by using a larger, slipperier cup like glass that requires more strength and coordination to hold onto. It can be graded down by having a handle on the cup and using two hands to hold onto.
Group activities can promote sharing, new toys, increased endurance, and potentially can make her tired in order for her to sleep better.
In 9 weeks, Brooke will improve self-feeding by requiring only 1 verbal cue with positive reinforcement, by using 3 different types of utensils everyday, within 2 opportunities, for 5 consecutive days per parent report.
In 3 weeks, Brooke will improve self grooming by brush her teeth with min assistance by her parent, after using a calming strategy of her preference, 2 times a day, within 2 opportunities each time, for 5 consecutive days per parent report.

Recently I attended a garden day at my Mum’s place. The local Garden Club visits members gardens once a month and there are always cuttings to be had. I haven’t been for a long while (years in fact) due to work/study/life commitments, but I had a day free and my mother invited me, so I went.
As I wandered around the garden, catching up with friends I hadn’t seen for a while, it struck me that this garden had matured and changed over the last three decades. This is the garden I grew up in and it had changed along with me. The old swings had gone and a fish pond taken their place, the vegetable garden and orchards had changed places several times and the trees had grown in size and number. It has matured into a stunningly beautiful place to spend time and somewhere it is possible to get lost in the endless grassy paths leading to secret spaces. These days Mum and Dad run a camping place and charge people $5 for a tour of the garden and a cup of tea with scones (usually some cuttings too), and it is well worth the visit.
I would like to share some pictures of my mum’s garden with you.
This is a random selection of images from the garden, there is more that I haven’t shown, and no they aren’t all from the garden day I went on, some are taken by my Dad at other times.

The Financial Post’s Geoff Zochodne did a sweep of the big banks’ economists on Oct. 1 and found that the received wisdom now is that the Bank of Canada will quicken its march to a more normal policy setting.
Bank of Montreal promptly added an extra quarter-point lift to his outlook for 2019, predicting a benchmark rate of 2.5 per cent within the next 12 months or so, a full percentage point higher than the current setting. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce assumes the Bank of Canada will go ahead with an increase later this month and then follow that move with another one in January, earlier than its previous forecast. Derek Burleton of Toronto-Dominion Bank also said a hike on Oct. 24 was “virtually cemented” and that the smart money now is on three additional increases next year, rather than two.
The reason the professional forecasters pivoted so quickly was because logic was on their side. The central bank had identified trade uncertainty as a drag on business investment. With that anchor removed, Canada’s economy should be able to push through other headwinds with more vigour. Faster growth would spark faster inflation, leaving Canada’s central bank with little choice but to raise interest rates to constrain prices.
“We continue to expect the Bank of Canada to resume monetary policy tightening on Oct. 24 in a context where it is hard to justify keeping interest rates below inflation now that uncertainty surrounding U.S.-Canada trade has dissipated,” Matthieu Arseneau of National Bank Financial said on Oct. 5 after Statistics Canada’s latest hiring survey showed the unemployment rate dropped to 5.9 per cent in September, one of the lowest levels on record.
All that makes sense. Still, let’s pump the brakes a little. It’s too soon to predict with so much certainty that the new NAFTA will alter Canada’s interest-rate path. It’s possible Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s agreement with U.S. President Donald Trump hasn’t changed much of anything.
What was the surprise on Oct. 1? The introduction of a statute that would give Washington influence over Canada’s dealings with China came out of nowhere, that’s for sure. But most, including Stephen Poloz, the Bank of Canada governor, assumed the talks themselves would get sorted.
Before this week, the prevailing assumption was that failure to resolve NAFTA by the Sept. 30 deadline set by the Trump administration would have forced Poloz and his deputies to leave the benchmark rate unchanged on Oct. 24, like they did at the previous policy meeting in September.
Actually, that would have depended on market reaction and feedback from the central bank’s contacts in the real economy. Policymakers have stated explicitly that they intend to raise interest rates gradually, and the data since its pause on Sept. 5 have been fairly strong. The Bank of Canada estimates that a “normal” benchmark interest rate — one that neither encourages borrowing nor impedes it — is between 2.5 per cent and 3.5 per cent. That’s still a long way from where the benchmark rate is now, so policymakers might have been prepared to raise rates even if negotiations had collapsed.
The NAFTA talks were noise, not signal; the signal will be in indicators of business investment, and we don’t have those yet. The first good look will come when the Bank of Canada releases its next Business Outlook Survey, on Dec. 21. Policymakers put a lot of weight on that report, but it only reveals intentions. Poloz will want to see evidence of actual spending, too, and that will require patience. Consider: David Bensadoun, chief executive of ALDO Group Inc., told me in an interview last month that it would take six to nine months for him to simply shift from one supplier in Asia to another. It will be well into 2019 before the central bank decides if it can stop worrying about business investment.
Unlike most of their counterparts on Bay Street, the economists at RBC Capital Markets were unmoved by the week’s big trade story. Non-energy exports have been slow to catch fire despite a couple of years of strong global demand. Uncertainty is part of the problem, but a bigger one probably is that Canada has been muscled out of its traditional export markets by more aggressive competitors, according to RBC.
A new free-trade agreement that looks a lot like the old free-trade agreement won’t fix Canada’s competitiveness issues. One of the reasons the Bank of Canada has promised to raise interest rates gradually is because the country’s exporters need a crutch. That didn’t change overnight on Sept. 30.

If we have received the love which restores meaning to our lives, how can we fail to share that love with others?
These words from Pope Francis’ apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel) are an invitation and a challenge to the Church, to our parish and to each one of us. The Parish Council has set up Mission, Evangelisation and Faith Formation as a specific area to respond to this call.
We hope to encourage and enable “missionary discipleship” to flourish in St Francis’ parish through developing existing parish activities, deepening our understanding of mission and the gospel, and looking for opportunities to stretch out beyond the parish community as “Spirit-filled evangelisers”.
How we do this in a way that is authentic to St Francis’ parish and to the particular gifts and opportunities of the local church in this community is a key task and will require both dialogue and boldness in the parish.
Active participation in national and diocesan Proclaim 15 initiatives.
Promoting the Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies (CCRS) and supporting parishioners who wish to complete it.
Exploring The Joy of the Gospel and Pope Francis’s call to Spirit-filled mission in a parish course.
Being open to a wide range of ideas and suggestions as we explore together what a call to missionary discipleship means for St Francis’ parish.

The University of Washington (UW) has had major impact on medical devices and biomaterials. In the early 1960’s the first chronic hemodialysis system was developed at the UW. Notably, Wayne Quinton, a bioengineer working at the UW Medicine machine shop, engineered the first hemodialysis access shunt, later known as the Quinton-Scribner shunt. Quinton integrated in the shunt a recently developed, novel material called “Teflon.” Prof. Les Babb of the UW Chemical Engineering Department also contributed to this interdisciplinary team effort, led by Belding Scribner, M.D. This visionary team produced the first chronic dialysis system and the world’s first dialysis center opened in Seattle in 1962.
Along with pioneering efforts in dialysis, doppler ultrasound was developed at UW Bioengineering and now Washington State is a hotbed of ultrasound development and commercialization. Many other shunts, grafts and medical devices have originated from the UW Engineering and Medicine.
The UW program in biomaterials development was launched with the arrival of Professor Allan S. Hoffman in 1970. By 1972, Professors Tom Horbett and Buddy Ratner were actively integrated into UW biomaterials research. In 1983, the National ESCA and Surface Analysis Center for Biomedical Problems (NESAC/BIO) was launched at the UW, with funding over a 35 period from the NIH. In 1995, the NSF funded University of Washington Engineered Biomaterials, an engineering research center. This center continued for 11 years under NSF funding and is still active with funding independent of the NSF. These programs, and many other funded efforts in numerous UW department have elevated the UW biomaterials research community to over 30 professors, and hundreds of researchers, students and staff.

Rice vermicelli are translucent Chinese noodles cooked simply by soaking in hot water. Coiled nests of these noodles can be found at Asian markets and large supermarkets. If your frozen veggie mixture doesnt include peas, edamame is a nice addition to this soup.
Break rice noodles into bits, and place in large bowl; cover with boiling water, and set aside.
Pulse tempeh and white parts of onions in food processor several times, until coarsely chopped.
Heat peanut oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add tempeh mixture, and sauté 3 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Add 4 cups boiling water, and scrape up any browned bits sticking to bottom of pot.
Add frozen vegetables and edamame, if using. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook 7 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat.
Drain noodles, and add to soup. Stir miso into 1/2 cup hot water, then add to soup. Stir in onion leaves and sesame oil. Add tamari to taste, and serve.

We’re back! And we’re 30 podcasts old!
Ok, this week Marc is joined by Jay and Phil!
We start off by breaking down The Dark Knight Rises, then we chat Spider-man, Thomas Jane’s return as Punisher and if he would fit in the new Marvel movie universe, there’s much talk about Indiana Jones 5 – and poor Phil gets slightly animated – before we talk about just when movie characters become icons.

Cyrus Vance Jr. during the inaugural National Prosecutorial Summit, October 21, 2014.
For most of his eight years as Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr. has kept a low enough profile that politicos pause a second at the mention of his name, remembering that he isn’t his father, the Washington wise man who served as Jimmy Carter’s secretary of state. Junior’s biggest initiative has been effective but characteristically wonkish: applying data analysis to crime-fighting.
Cy Jr.’s name recognition certainly has skyrocketed in the past two weeks. He’s under fire as never before, accused of bad judgment and dubious ethics. First came news that he’d dropped a 2012 criminal investigation of Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. over their misleading statements to prospective condo buyers—after a conversation with Trump family lawyer Marc Kasowitz, one of the largest donors to Vance’s political campaigns (Vance has said that Kasowitz and the contributions “had no influence whatsoever on my decision-making in the case”). Then The New Yorker, as part of a devastating story by Ronan Farrow, released two minutes of audio, recorded in 2015 by the New York Police Department, in which Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, now accused by more than two dozen women of sexual harassment and assault, essentially admits to groping a 22-year-old Filipina-Italian model and actress, Ambra Battilana Gutierrez.
A spokeswoman for Vance said the Strauss-Kahn episode did not affect the office’s subsequent pursuit of sexual-assault cases “in the slightest,” and pointed to other high-profile defendants who have been successfully prosecuted, for similar offenses, by the district attorney. Yet with Weinstein’s piggishness finally exposed, Vance is enduring the harshest glare of his low-key tenure, with his competence and ethics questioned. Not that he’s in danger of losing his job anytime soon: he ran unopposed in New York’s Democratic primary in September, and next month, in the general election, Cyrus Vance Jr. will face only a long-shot write-in opponent.

After the box leaked online earlier this week, Lego has officially taken the wraps off its Simpsons set.
The Lego Simpsons set is coming, officially confirmed by Lego: the house at 742 Evergreen Terrace has been turned into a massive 2325-piece set, with six minifigs: the five members of the Simpsons family and Ned Flanders.
The house itself is hinged, and the roof is removable, so that you can recreate some of your favourite Simpsons moments (except, perhaps, "various eggs"), with the rooms fully kitted out with furniture, appliances and accessories.
The set also includes a barbecue for Homer, a skateboard ramp for Bart and the pink Simpsons family car.
A lot of the pieces seem to have been custom-moulded for the set, too, including the minifigs themselves, Bart's skateboard and Homer's (well, Ned's) wheelbarrow.
Additionally, a Lego-themed Simpsons episode will air in May.
The set will go on sale on 1 February in the US and Europe, retailing for US$199.99. In Australia, it will be available online as of 1 February, and available in stores as of May 2014. Pricing has yet to be announced, but we estimate it will be somewhere in the realm of AU$300.
Meanwhile, you can check out more pics of the set here and here.

So this weekend a group of us (eight to eleven people altogether I think, there’s no real way of knowing) stayed in a fancy house in Waikenae to celebrate the dear Kate’s birthday. Kate is one of my very best friends, from here on she’ll be referred to as just “Kate” for simplicity but know that I’m hyperventilating every time I mention her name.
Not only was the weekend itself really rewarding in terms of friendship and relaxation and real joyfulness, I also got such Instagram material out of the whole gambit. The entire place was just so aesthetic: pink magnolia leaves floating like bodies in a bright blue swimming pool at dusk; a blonde wood dining table laden with fairy lights; multitudes of tui birds, glossy thick boys calling flirtatiously from the tree branches; a cool clear river striding purposefully over flat, smooth rocks; no less than sixteen doors to the outside world; hand towels that we all initially thought were actually elegant scarves because they were so lovely looking. Like even just the bathrooms themselves were gorgeous, with this particular golden-hour warm lighting that made you look perpetually well-rested and cleverly made-up. I didn’t even care that the toilet was in the background of my mirror selfies, if anything it was an honour to include such an exemplary example of that facility in a photo of myself.
I did barely anything useful the entire time I was there which was unquantifiably wonderful coming out of a nine-day week of shifts at work. I read a girthy novel (House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski); I prowled judgementally through the lush cookbook collection of the owners (I find myself fairly judgemental of cookbooks, in case you’re wondering why I used that adverb); I took selfies; I snuggled with Charlotte, a dear friend who we all hadn’t seen in two years who was back from London (for good, not just for the weekend as I initially and stupidly assumed) and that was about it; but the one thing I can say confidently that I contributed was that I made Aperol Spritzes for whoever wanted them. Actually, to be fair, lots of people ended up making them over the course of the weekend. But I definitely stumped up for the creation of at least one round. And then took one that I made for myself all around the house photographing it in various pleasing tableaux.
If you haven’t had Aperol before, you might at least recognise its distinct orange colour and sassy logo design. It’s an Italian aperitif that has been kicking around since roughly 1919, and while the parent company is super cagey about what’s in it, there’s definitely some gently bitter herbs and sweet orange. It’s not unlike its altogether stronger and more bitter cousin Campari, which is even more tight-lipped about its ingredients – somewhat hilariously, the official website will reluctantly concede that there’s water and alcohol involved, but like, that’s all they’re gonna tell you. The Aperol Spritz is a fantastically sophisticated yet casual drink, combining Aperol, Prosecco and soda water – gorgeously orange like distilled sunset, mellowly herbal and sweet yet convivially refreshing, and low-alcohol enough that you can drink a case of it and still be on your feet. It was Kate’s idea to make them and it was honestly perfect and easy and delicious and I thoroughly recommend it if you’ve got a crowd to ease into gentle afternoon post-30s tipsiness.
Fill a wine glass or fancy tumbler with ice. Measure all the ingredients straight into the glass, give a stir with a teaspoon or chopstick or breadknife or your finger, whatever is within reach and more or less non-porous, really. Throw in the orange wedge – honestly pretty optional if you’re having a bunch and not selling them to anyone – and you’re ready to drink.
Now! The recipe I give is roughly what I was making or advising people to make – because the more you consume and the more you make the more you just become one with the drink and pour until it feels right to stop (I say this as someone actually quite genuinely confident with free-pouring accurately.) It’s also a little lower in Aperol than the generally accepted recipe, this was mostly to make the expensive title ingredient stretch further, but also the fact that I feel like it benefits from being less sweet and more fizzy. The Wikipedia page for Aperol Spritz notes in an archly withering way that “perhaps not surprisingly” the official Aperol website calls for a lot more of their own product in the drink. You: well, you suit yourself.
Ariana Grande, No Tears Left To Cry. This is such a good song! She sounds so in charge and confidently relaxed and I love how the cadence and chord progressions have this really early 90s Janet Jackson sound. I’m also a huge fan of tempo changes in a song. Which No Tears Left To Cry has, I wasn’t just stating that about myself for no reason.
Gary Numan, Trois Gymnopedies. Dreamy.
Idina Menzel, Not A Day Goes By. My other Broadway idol, absolutely trampling all over Sondheim’s intensely delicate and sorrowful song during a live show in 2002, by all accounts (that is, the youtube comments) her pop arrangement is an insult to the song, but! While, I grant you, her take on it is melodramatic, I adore it. The metallic rasp of her voice, the way she BELTS lines that are supposed to be almost whispered, the utter lack of subtlety is its own kind of vulnerability. She even says at the start (in another bootlegged version I have, not the one I link to) “I’ll probably get thrown into prison for this.” THAT SAID, you literally cannot go past Bernadette Peter’s definitive porcelain-about-to-shatter interpretation. Every decision – the pause before “and dying”, the way she folds her arms in “day after day after day” – is quietly devastating and not to be mistaken for weakness – “the full length velvet glove hides the fist”, as another Broadway song cautions us.
Blood Orange, You’re Not Good Enough. This 2013 song keeps sounding like it was released like, last week.
Next time: I took some photos of recipes from the fancy cookbooks at the fancy house and am hoping to try at least one out this week.
As always, I gently but committedly encourage you to sign up if you’d like to receive these blog posts sent to your inbox before the average pigeon on the street gets to read them on here.

Side-impact collisions are not only unexpected and frustrating, but these types of accidents are some of the most dangerous car collisions you can be involved in.
Side-impact collisions kill approximately 9,000 Americans each year. While there are many safety features designed to protect people in front and rear-end collisions, the protection in a side impact-collision is minimal. This is especially true in older vehicles that do not have side airbags. In these vehicles, being hit in the side by another vehicle can cause catastrophic injuries. An experienced car wreck lawyer can help you if you have been injured.
While all new vehicles sold in the U.S. must meet federal safety regulations, the age of these regulations and the weight of the average vehicle leave many questioning how safe new vehicles actually are. An experienced Los Angeles T-bone accident lawyer has experience in determining if the vehicles involved in the accident were safe.
A side-impact collision, often referred to as a “T-bone” accident, can happen in a variety of situations. Depending on the specific circumstances, either driver can be deemed at fault and an experienced car injury attorney can help you determine who’s responsible.
Sometimes driver liability is fairly obvious, based on how the accident happened, and the driver of the other vehicle may even admit fault. However, in either of the two most common side-impact situations, where another vehicle hit you or cut in front of you so you didn’t have time to stop, the other driver will frequently claim you were at fault. A Los Angeles personal injury attorney will know the law and be able to advise you.
In the first situation, you could be driving through an intersection where you have the green light and another driver runs the red light, blowing through the intersection and hitting your car on the driver’s side. In the second example, you might be driving down the road and another driver cuts in front of you to make a turn, resulting in you hitting the other vehicle in the side. In either of these scenarios, the other driver is most likely at fault; however, proving it isn’t always easy. An experienced car injury attorney can help determine who is responsible.
Side impact-collisions require a thorough investigation to discover which driver was at fault for the accident. This will often depend on which one of the drivers had the right of way versus which driver failed to yield the right of way.
The rules for investigating a side-impact collision are the same as for other motor-vehicle accidents. The police will make a report and may make a preliminary finding on who was responsible. You should get the contact information of anyone at the scene who witnessed the accident. Take pictures of the scene and all damage to both vehicles. Never, under any circumstances, admit fault and call an experienced car wreck lawyer immediately.
If the accident happens at an intersection controlled by a traffic light, take note of the exact time of the accident. By doing so, it may be possible to compare the time of the accident against the traffic signals automatic changing program. For example, if the accident occurred at 13:18:27 (27 seconds after 1:18 pm), a Los Angeles personal injury attorney will be able to compare that time to the signal’s programming to confirm oncoming traffic always has the red light at that precise moment.
Defective vehicle parts is a frequent cause of side-impact collision cases. The other driver may have ran the light or stop sign due to defective brakes. As a result, the fault may lie with the brake-parts manufacturer, the driver for not having routine maintenance, the shop that performed the work, or elected not to perform need work.
If you received an injury in a side-impact collision that was the fault of another driver, whether you hit the other vehicle or were hit by their vehicle, you will need a Los Angeles car accident attorney who is experienced in gathering evidence for personal-injury claims.
You should contact an experienced Los Angeles car accident attorney immediately if you were involved in a T-bone accident. At Grey Law, we know people typically assume the other driver is at fault when their vehicle is struck by another car. However, we also know the unfortunate truth is that is not always the case. On the other hand, if your vehicle hit another car on its side, we know that vehicle might have crossed your path, violating your right of way. Contact a Los Angeles T-bone accident lawyer today at (000) 000-0000 so we can help you determine who is at fault.

Baku: We are in the capital of the Muslim nation of Azerbaijan beside the Caspian Sea. It’s also a land at war with Armenia over the area called Nagorno-Karabakh. The enemy is supposed to be the church and here we are carrying the cross into the capital. Jesus did it. No problem.
We drove for hundreds of miles across the dry desert. We safely drove through every road even near fighting as helicopters flew overhead. We heard a strange knocking in the engine of the Land Rover. Before I could stop, smoke was boiling up from under the hood and the motor began to bang loudly. We pulled off the road where a couple of buildings stood in the vast stretch of desert. Disaster had struck! Oil was all over the smoking motor. A huge cloud of black smoke poured from out of the exhaust. What would we do now? The engine had blown up and there were no Land Rover parts for thousands of miles! Oh, Jesus, help us.
A man came over shaking his head and looked at the motor. He could speak no English but indicated he was a mechanic and would try to fix it. We got it over to his shop, a building with a ramp. He only had four wrenches! I had a tool kit. They were amazed at the kinds of tools I had. The man had a helper and as they took apart the motor, Denise and I prayed. They lay the parts out on the sandy ground!
A crowd of men soon gathered and I knew they would never find the parts to put the engine together again. Several of the rods were very badly bent. They used a hammer to beat them straight and I had a spare head gasket. Then they put it together, often having to look for a place to put an extra part! There was also a big crack in the manifold. When all was done I turned on the ignition and the Land Rover started up like new! They did not even want any money but I put one hundred one dollar bills in the mechanic’s pocket. He could not believe his eyes, perhaps this was six months wages. We gave all of them Bibles and gospel material. This had taken only five hours! It could have stopped us for a week or even a month.
We had a great crosswalk in Baku with many people coming to try to talk. The crosswalk through the former USSR goes on now to cross the Caspian Sea.
During much of 1992 my wife, Denise and I carried the cross through Russia and all of the former USSR. The USSR was just breaking up after the fall of communism. We only had a tourist visa for two weeks in Russia and no permit for the Land Rover and no visa for any of the other countries! Jesus got us through all the borders and checkpoints with no visa or permit. We made it through over 250 armed roadblocks. God led us to places to fill up with gas, as only a few gas stations were open the entire trip. We went from extreme cold and snow to the desert heat all in one historic and glorious trip. The impossible had happened. The cross was carried in all the USSR. All glory to God. Many were saved as the cross was carried in all of these nations.
Denise drove the 4×4 Land Rover. She would drive up the road a few miles and wait for me to arrive carrying the 12-foot cross. I would have something to drink and eat and then walk on. In most of these nations we would drive part of the way and then carry the cross a few days or a week or so. We had Bibles and gospel material in Russian and local languages. The Land Rover was also towing a small trailer with food and the gospel materials. We carried many cans of gas on the Land Rover and inside was a stove. We slept in a pop-up tent on top the Land Rover. When we left England we drove and went by ship to Finland. We crossed over to Estonia and made a complete loop around the USSR and then drove back via Poland and back to England. We drove almost 11,000 miles and I walked many hundreds of miles in the USSR.
See Arthur’s diary of the events in Baku.
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Trans-Dnestr, Moldova, Crimea, Abkhazia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tadzikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Siberia and Russia.
Jesus did it. All glory to God.

In short, this is awards season in an oasis.
Every January, just after the New Year is rung in, stars head east to the Palm Springs International Film Festival Gala.
Here, against a mountain backdrop and rows of palm trees, Dale Chihuly-designed glass statues are bestowed upon Oscar hopefuls.
“I love it here, man!” said Julianne Moore, who was honored Saturday night with the Desert Palm Achievement Award for her work in Still Alice. (Moore’s “favorite fake husband,” her Crazy, Stupid, Love co-star Steve Carell, presented.) She spent the morning driving around looking at the modern architecture. “I want to come back with my (real) husband (Bart Freundlich),” she said.
This year’s crop of award recipients also included Robert Duvall (given the Icon Award), the cast of The Imitation Game, Eddie Redmayne, Reese Witherspoon andGone Girl’s Rosamund Pike (Breakthrough Performance Award).
As Redmayne accepted his Desert Palm Achievement Award for his portrayal ofStephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, he thanked “my life partner and, as of two weeks ago, my wife. It’s kind of weird saying that — but it’s a good weird.” Backstage, he snagged a hug from Moore, thanking her for presenting the award.
Cumberbatch was just off a plane from his holiday in the Caribbean, and brought his fiancée, Sophie Hunter, who wore a flowing purple-and-gold print gown. “Are you too cold? Let’s go in now,” he said, sweetly looking after her as they walked the red carpet together.
Witherspoon, recipient of the Chairman’s Award for Wild, was also back from a sunny vacation, and got an extra bonus this Christmas: Wild has now raked in more than $23 million at the box office. “When we actually crossed the number that it cost (to make), I was like ‘Oh, my gosh, I’m so happy!’ As a producer, it’s a great feeling,” she said.
With the Golden Globes looming Jan. 11, both Moore and Witherspoon said they were set with their gowns. How were they so on top of it? “We have the same stylist,” Witherspoon laughed.
Boyhood director Richard Linklater was honored with the Sonny Bono Visionary Award, bestowed by Shirley MacLaine. He’s been amazed at the reception for his coming-of-age film. “The film is so simple, but the way it seems to have connected with people is really special,” he said.

CEHMM is dedicated to improving wildlife habitat with holistic management approaches that not only benefit two particular species of concern, the lesser prairie-chicken and the dunes sagebrush lizard, but also provides environmental enhancements that are beneficial to all organisms in those habitats.
The lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) (LPC) is a prairie grouse species native to the southern Great Plains, including parts of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The dunes sagebrush lizard (Sceloporus arenicolus) (DSL), also known as the sand dune lizard, is a species native to a small area of southeastern New Mexico and west Texas. Both the LPC and DSL have been ruled warranted for listing as threatened or endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended (16 U.S.C. § 1531, et seq.). The ESA provides for the conservation of species that are endangered or threatened throughout all or a significant portion of their range, and the conservation of the ecosystems on which they depend. A listing would initiate regulatory and conservation responsibilities for federal, state, and private landowners. These responsibilities stem from Section 9 of the ESA that prohibits “take” (i.e., harass, harm, pursue, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, collect, or attempt to engage in any such conduct) of listed species. In addition to the Section 9 prohibitions, federal agencies must ensure that their actions will not jeopardize the continued existence of the listed species.
For several years the FWS, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and CEHMM worked together to develop a candidate conservation agreement to programmatically address the needs of the LPC and the DSL and the potential impacts a listing could have on land users. Landmark legal agreements were signed by federal and state authorities on December 8, 2008. The Candidate Conservation Agreement (CCA) and its companion Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (CCAA) provide a mechanism to conserve LPC and DSL habitats. These agreements allow FWS, BLM, and CEHMM to work in cooperation and consultation with private land owners and industry in support of conservation measures.
In June 2012, the FWS ruled against listing the DSL as threatened or endangered under the ESA. This decision was based largely in part to the conservation efforts that the CCA/CCAA put into practice. However, on March 27, 2014, the FWS listed the LPC as threatened under the ESA, in response to the rapid and severe decline of the LPC. Under the law, a threatened listing means the species is likely to become in danger of extinction within the foreseeable future; it is a step below endangered under the ESA and allows for more flexibility in how the ESA protections are implemented.

School Shooters Are Rarely Female. What Does That Mean for Schools?
Police arrested a 12-year-old girl suspected of shooting two students in the classroom of Salvador Castro Middle School in Los Angeles Thursday morning. Later that evening, they said they believed the shooting was unintentional and that the student had been booked on charges of negligent discharge of a firearm, the Los Angeles Times reported.
But before police shared details of the shooting or the suspect's motive, her gender stood out in news reports.
School shooting suspects are almost always male. Why is that? And what does it mean for school safety?
For much of the day Thursday, the incident seemed like a typical school shooting, apart from the gender and young age of the suspected shooter.
A 15-year-old boy was in critical but stable condition with a gunshot wound to the head, and a 15-year-old girl was in fair condition after she was shot in the wrist, police said in a press conference Thursday afternoon. Three others, an adult and two students, suffered more minor abrasion injuries, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Police later said they believed the girl discharged the semiautomatic handgun unintentionally.
"Someone decided to bring a gun, I guess someone was accidentally playing around with it," a student told the Times. "They thought it was a fake gun."
Police arrested the suspect and evacuated students from the school before launching an investigation. Officials had not named the suspect by Thursday evening.
While it is rare, there have also been female suspects in intentional school shootings.
There's a common misconception that school attackers are all young, white, socially isolated men who play too many violent video games. But school safety experts have said that profile is far too narrow and that schools need to be responsive to the safety concerns and social and emotional needs presented by all students to create a safe environment.
But it is striking that most school shootings, and most mass shootings in general, are perpetrated by male suspects. An Education Week analysis of news reports found four incidents where at least one person was injured as the result of a shooting at a K-12 school or school-related event in 2018. Of those incidents, only the Los Angeles shooting involved a female suspect. The trend is even starker looking back through years of data collected by other organizations; only a handful of identified suspects are women or girls.
"Most violent crime is perpetrated by males," said Peter Langman, a psychologist who studies school shootings and has authored several books about them. "The fact that school shooters are typically male is part of the overall phenomenon of violence being a predominantly male phenomenon."
In the case of "rampage shootings," perpetrators often have a sense of "damaged masculinity," which Langman defines as a sense of failure or inadequacy in parts of their life that they have linked to male identity, like sexuality or physical strength, he said.
Some bullying researchers have also said concerns about heterosexual, masculine gender norms can feed bullying problems among male students. They've urged schools to adopt bullying policies that prohibit harassment on the basis of real or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity.
"There is actually no stereotype," Dewey Cornell, the director of the Youth Violence Project at the University of Virginia said in 2014. "There is a human tendency to look for predictive factors, but if we apply those to the general population, we will find many false positives."
"A 2002 report by the U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center, prepared after the agency analyzed 37 school attacks that occurred between 1974 and 2000, concluded that "there is no accurate or useful 'profile' of students who engaged in targeted school violence."
Acts of school violence have been carried out by attackers of all races, ages, disciplinary histories, and family backgrounds. And, though perpetrators are typically male, women have also played roles in mass attacks, experts on such incidents say.
In the events analyzed, attackers fell all along the social spectrum, from popular students to "loners," the Secret Service report said.
While the agency didn't find common demographic threads, it did note some psychological trends among attackers: Many "felt bullied, persecuted, or injured by others prior to the attack," many had a history of suicide attempts or feelings of depression or desperation, and most had no history of criminal behavior.
And, in 31 of the 37 events studied by the Secret Service, shooters told at least one person about their plans beforehand, the report said. Threat-assessment experts say that such "leakage" is common, and that attackers often leave more subtle clues that they are distressed, even if they don't explicitly detail their plans in conversations."
So, while most shooters are male, schools should seek to be aware of the needs of all students, working to create a supportive environment and reduce social isolation, safety experts said. That's because school shooters don't usually "just snap," and often hint at their plans in advance. Addressing school climate concerns is important for the educational success of all students, even if they don't have a violent intent, researchers say.
Police provided very few details about the circumstances behind the Los Angeles shooting Thursday, and they did not say if the school had any previous concerns about the student they arrested, how she obtained the weapon, or how she came to fire it in school.
Cornell has worked to develop a threat-assessment model that schools can use to respond to such concerns. Education Week's Lisa Stark recently interviewed Cornell for this piece she did for the PBS Newshour about preventing school violence.

How is Soma Yoga different?
In contrast to today's hectic pace of life, Soma Yoga invites a slowing down and deep self-care.
Co-creative: . Aisling loves to co-create with her students, so classes often begin with a check-in and sharing. Students have the opportunity to say what they need from a class, which Aisling then weaves in throughout the session.
Organic: At the start of each class, we work with organic, intuitive movement. This is slow, self expressive movement done from lying down, often people's favourite part of class as you follow exactly what your body needs in the moment.
Body-psyche-soul: in class, Aisling will also invite a soulful inquiry into life, for example, what does it mean to be "grounded", how might we cultivate loving presence, how can our movement practice become relevant in our lives.

‘Tis the season to eat, drink and be merry, but if your primary interest is in that second verb there, you’ll need a cache of cheery Yuletide cocktails. With nods to seasonal favorites (hello, Mr. Nutmeg), festive twists on old classics and quirky concoctions sure make you host(ess) of the year, you can’t go wrong with this compilation of “spirited” drinks.
Cranberries are a staple of the holiday season. In fact, according to Michigan State University, it’s likely the tart red fruit graced the first Thanksgiving table (but likely not in the jellied form often enjoyed today). Don’t stand by while those cranberries play second fiddle to turkey all season long. This festive martini from Cheers to the Host combines smooth Gentleman Jack with tart cranberry juice, then tops it all off with a splash of sweet ginger ale for a martini that’s anything but dirty.
With the pressure of hosting the perfect holiday soiree, you’ve got more to worry about than your beverage cart (although, to be honest, that’s likely what’s most important to your guests). This simple cocktail is easy on the grocery list and puts a sweet spotlight on a seasonal standard: ginger. Combine Gentleman Jack with either ginger ale or ginger beer (there’s a difference, as explained in the recipe), then top with a squeeze of fresh lime. It’s a crowd pleaser you’ll never have to sweat over.
It may be the season’s most divisive flavor, but those who love eggnog really love eggnog. But the same old cocktail year after year can get tired, so put a twist on (but not a twist in, because, gross) your eggnog this year by spiking it with something unexpected. This version from All Recipes adds whiskey to the traditional rum for an unexpected delight. Sprinkle with a little nutmeg and you’ll be sure to thrill your guests — well, the ones who like eggnog, anyway.
It’s the holiday season, so you can do things you usually don’t — like opt for an espresso cocktail rather than the same old espresso after dinner (or lunch, no judgment here). This luscious cocktail from Drink Me embraces everyone’s favorite vices: coffee, cream, vanilla and really good whiskey. Combine Gentleman Jack with vanilla sugar syrup, espresso and coffee cream liqueur for a good shake. Dust with chocolate shavings if your celebration calls for a little (more) indulgence.
The weather outside is frightful, so a hot cocktail is more than delightful — it’s practically required. Redbook calls this recipe one of the coziest cocktails for cold weekends. Bonus: It’s easy to make, with no shaker required! Combining whiskey, vermouth, taverna and maple syrup with hot water, this drink certainly goes down smooth. Stand by tradition and serve this in a canning jar, or get cozy with your favorite holiday mug. And feel free to make a little extra — there’s a long winter ahead.
If apples, oranges, cloves and cinnamon sticks don’t say “I’m never venturing out into the snow ever again,” then what does? These flavors will make you want to stay in all evening — especially if you opt for the warm version. This recipe from Mollie Stone’s Markets mixes the coziest flavors of the year — cinnamon, cloves and apple cider — with Gentleman Jack for a festive drink you can serve warm or cold. Just simmer the ingredients together and you’re ready to drink and be merry (the “eat” part is optional).

Today, we’re going to be diving into the five stages of the consumer decision-making process. A lot has changed. How consumers go about it is completely different, but the five stages are surprisingly exactly the same. Let’s dive into what this new world looks like.
Stage 1: You have a problem or a need.
Stage 2: They want to do an information search. It used to be ask a friend, ask a colleague, look at the newspaper — but that’s a little different now.
Now, the reality is, that in this need phase, you have a lot of ways to influence how people are deciding what they need. One of those is field marketing, another is your sales team, but an often not-so-used way of helping people understand their need is actually through SEO and paid search.
Maybe you are a time-tracking software. People are searching: “How to manage my employees’ time” Well, if you’re Toggl — or one of the other many apps out there to manage people’s times — it’s critical that you have the right content for the different stages of people when they’re discovering what options exist to solve their problem or need.
An awesome tool that you can use for this is actually called AnswerThePublic. If you’re looking to understand what product or service is out there and what the need is, type in your primary keyword — for example, type in, “SEO,” or, “PPC,” for us — or for you, maybe it’s “cloud security.” Then see what are people searching for when using that keyword. You might see topics like, “The benefits of cloud security” or “Am I hacked?” These are all the needs and problems people have. You need content at this stage of the funnel.
For our B2B SaaS clients, this is where the majority of their opportunities, deals, and revenue comes from — at this information stage. This is the bottom of the funnel. People now know that they have a cloud security issue, now they’re looking for top cloud security vendors, top cloud security companies, services, strategies, etc. Here’s where your own website probably won’t rank. In fact, at Stage 3, it probably won’t rank either. You’re going to have a hard time generating these leads through yourself.
Historically, people would gather information through friends, through television, through the radio, through the newspaper, and now it’s changed, right? They’re going primarily to search engines — areas where they can control the entire experience themselves. The reality is, that you need to make sure that your brand shows up not only as your own website, as one of those 10 possible results, or one of those 4 ads, but that you’re also prevalent in the marketplaces.
This goes back to the Yelp and the Amazon effect. B2B customers are now just the same as B2C customers, in the sense that they don’t want you to tell them why you’re so great, but instead, they want to look at other people saying that you’re great. This is why Gardner has a full business model. This is why Forrester has a full business model. It’s because these are “independent,” — now I say that with quotes — research companies that are giving information to targeted consumers who are looking to buy. You need to be a part of that journey.
Stage 3 is the alternatives — it blends right into Stage 2.
Historically, as the marketer, you got to control what people thought about your product. Now, other people control what is being said about your product and you need to make sure that when they’re evaluating alternatives they don’t forget about you.
Now most of the time, I see people address Stage 3 through what I call competitor AdWords campaigns. This is where you launch ads on your competitors’ brand terms so you can show up and say, “Hey, guys. You want to try Zenefits, but you really should know about Gusto.” Now the problem is, is in the last four-and-a-half years, we’ve never seen one of these campaigns perform profitably. So instead of simply trying to take people who have already decided they want Zenefits and try Gusto, you need to go back into that informational search. That’s where Software Advice, Capterra, G2 Crowd — for us, it’s Clutch.co, for your own industry it could be anything.
Usually, you can find these directories and these review sites for your space by doing very simple queries. Take your primary keyword and before that search, “Top” or “Best” or take your primary keyword and after it put, “Reviews” or “Alternatives” or “Competitors.” And now, start to see the ecosystem from which your brand, product, and services exist within and make sure that every conversation, you’re a part of.
In this day and age, Stage 4, the purchasing decision, is such an undervalued part of marketing. I constantly see sales reps going into pitches with poorly designed decks, no real case studies that are designed properly, nothing’s in the proper medium, and everything’s from 10 years ago or 5 years ago. Everybody’s so worried about lead gen that they forgot that you can generate a million leads, close none of them, and nothing matters.
What’s so critical at Stage 4 is that you can lower your cost per opportunity drastically here by affecting your close rate. See, when you look through an entire funnel, there’s so much money that’s being spent in generating the lead that activating the lead and closing the deal is such an after-thought in marketing that it’s not being funded properly.
One of the biggest wins you can do today is to ask yourself, “If I was talking to two other vendors, does my sales team have the best assets compared to those other two competitors?” If not, maybe it’s time for you to invest more into the stage of closing the deal than trying to get more. In other words, what’s the point of throwing all this water into a bucket if there are all the holes at the bottom? Focus on the bottom of the bucket just as much as getting water into it.
The reality is, is not every customer will love you and those ones that don’t are some of your greatest learning opportunities. Try using a simple NPS software, like AskNicely — which we’ve leveraged here. There are also simple things like quarterly check-ins and monthly check-ins. Here, we do weekly updates. The tighter you can get your feedback loop from customer success or customer failure and then learn from that, the faster you can improve your deliverable, your product, or your service.
The reality is, the thing people pay you for has a huge part to do with how you’re marketing yourself. In other words, if you looked at what Seth Godin preaches, the “purple cow” approach: “Is your marketing just more noise in a noisy environment or is what you’re marketing doing the marketing itself for you?” A perfect example would be Tesla. They can take almost zero corporate advertising budget and still grow at a rapid rate because their product is a purple cow.
So start to ask yourself, “What types of features, sets, or innovations can my service or product pertain to or contain so that marketing it is a natural growth of what happens after someone purchases it?” They can’t help but tell their friend, not one friend, but multiple friends. That post-purchase is going to be critical for you as you go towards hyper growth.
Thank you so much for watching this video. If you can understand the 5 stages of the consumer decision-making process in the new context of search engines and how people are now discovering information, then you can empower your marketing and have successful campaigns that generate terrific return.

Unfortunately, both strategies to tackling the greatest interview question leave the hiring manager dissatisfied. First of all, interviewers can tell when you're lying. And second, the reason they asked that question was to get some honest insight into who you are and how you deal with difficulties. Your fake answer does nothing to position you as a great candidate.
The key to a winning response strategy is in understanding why the hiring manager asks about your weaknesses. There are typically two big reasons behind it.
Reason number one is to see whether or not you have enough self-awareness and insight to acknowledge that you have something you need to work on. Reason number two is to determine if you are proactive and resilient enough to work on getting better. If you understand those two points and are able to answer the question honestly and thoughtfully, what you say next has the potential to lift you above other candidates and get you the job offer.
It does not just tell the interviewer about my weakness — it tells a story. I brought the hiring manager along with me on a journey that had an emotional dip and a recovery. Our brains are wired to love stories, so craft a story to illustrate your point for maximum impact.
That does not mean blurting out the first thing that comes to mind, but rather giving it some thought and choosing something real. By all means, be strategic – after all, your goal is to position yourself as a great candidate. However, begin with an honest self-assessment.
I cannot guarantee that you will get this one in your next interview, but it is one that can be difficult to answer on the spot. So, don’t put yourself on the spot. You have been warned – think through your response in advance.
So, be honest, be ready and work on fixing it – and you will be acing this tough question in no time!

Great to see you all again in our tutorials – and for the fascinating discussions! Issues of copyright, keeping the “humans” in our digital studies, considering the socio-economic factors of any digital history definition, how to consider authority, and the lack of interactiveness between historians.The two discussions went in such different directions we’ll have to keep the other half informed.
For our Omeka site (you’ll receive your user logins tomorrow), you can login here: http://digitalhistory.uwaterloo.ca/admin/users/login. The trick for Omeka is to just add /admin after any website to get to the login option.
I’ll mention Dublin Core. If you want a more detailed discussion, check out the wikipedia page.
If you want to explore HTML some more, here’s a link to the CodeAcademy page. Create an account to keep your progress, and you’ll collect neat badges and – more importantly – knowledge. They do several other languages and can be a fun way to dabble around.

Well you long to get away, and we all will get away… one day. If you’re lost inside that day, let your mind go there today… but don’t stay. Your desire grows by the day to escape your present ways… but you stay. All your things are packed away, the arrangements have been made… so you wait. Though your loved ones left to stay, don’t you take the easy way.
