Sure, Jon Bon Jovi was in the house, and I thought that was cool. But the biggest rock star of the night was a petite nun who refuses to accept that homelessness and poverty are inevitable.
Her name is Sister Mary Scullion, and she is the co-founder of Project H.O.M.E. in Philadelphia. Wednesday night I joined nearly 1,000 of her closest friends at the Marriott Hotel for "Home at 20," the organization's 20th anniversary celebration of advocacy and service. Comcast and the Phillies were presenting sponsors.
"...Sister Mary, 55, has become the darling of luminaries like Bill Clinton, though that hasn't impacted her humility or her famously ribald sense of humor. When Jon Bon Jovi (a loyal Project supporter) described Mary to the press as a nun 'who swears and spits,' the good sister merely replied, 'I do not spit' - and then returned to her work of tirelessly saving her city, one desperate citizen at a time."
The gala featured warm remarks from several speakers, including co-founder Joan Dawson McConnon, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and Comcast CEO Brian Roberts. Bon Jovi received the inaugural Golden Heart Award, and said the honor meant more to him than being inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame.
Roberts discussed the Honickman Learning Center and Comcast Technology Labs, which greatly contributes to the "E" in Project H.O.M.E. - Education. The 38,000-square-foot facility includes hundreds of computers, interactive education programs, music and recording equipment, video production capabilities, a college access center and more.
"At Comcast," said Roberts, "we believe that knowing how to use communications technology can help to prepare young people for richer lives and good jobs. To see 300 kids a year have their lives changed in one of the finest learning centers in the country is just wonderful."
Comcast also produced several videos that played throughout the evening, each an inspirational case study of lives being turned around - or saved - through Project H.O.M.E.
As for the other letters in Project H.O.M.E.? "H" represents Housing, "O" is for Opportunities for employment, and "M" is for Medical care.
"M" could also stand for "Mary," who summed up a remarkable evening in her closing comments.
"At Project H.O.M.E., we believe none of us is home until all of us are home. Tonight we are well on the way to the home we yearn for. And there's no better way to get there than all together with you." | 2019-04-26T12:29:41 | https://corporate.comcast.com/comcast-voices/a-celebration-of-home-and-rock-stars | [

Keep in mind the historical returns of different asset classes when setting your financial goals. Treat any outperformance as a bonus. Remember – time is your ally! By focusing on long-term results, you'll find it easier to ride out short-term volatility.
An increasingly complex investment climate has made it challenging for investors to try to go it alone. That's why more and more investors are turning to professional management. A financial advisor can also help you construct a solid financial plan, make sound investment choices, and guide you through times of volatility.
Review these six principles with your financial advisor, who can help you establish your own, personal investment approach.

Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers (Little, Brown & Co. ) is not a new book. In fact it’s over eight years old, but it is one that I’ve read lately. As in the other Gladwell books (The Tipping Point, Blink), the author picks a subject and expands on it, or as he explains in his website, I write books when I find myself returning again and again, in my mind, to the same themes. Said theme for Outliers was, and I liberally interpret: Why do some people become successful and others, who are just as educated and innately intelligent, don’t? This is a question I have posited myself, as I have seen some people rocket to the top of their chosen profession while many of their peers struggle and remain perennially in the backfield. So I picked up Gladwell’s book hoping to find not so much answers as explanations, and I certainly received what I was searching for. Not that it made me feel any better. In fact, there’s a simple word to explain exactly how I felt.
As Gladwell theorizes, it’s not how hard you work, but how advantageous you were in where and when you were born, and how the culture in which you developed shaped you. In essence, as hard as some people work to succeed, the vast majority of those who do find success do so aided by circumstances beyond their efforts. Or as the author puts it: …we vastly underestimate the extent to which success happens because of things the individual has nothing to do with. Now, who hasn’t heard the stories? The accountant who just happens to send his resumé in on the day another accountant gets fired, and gets hired, purely out of necessity. The actor who gets to star in a blockbuster film after the first pick for the role turns it down. Or as in Bill Gate’s case, growing up in Seattle the son of a wealthy lawyer whose private middle school, in 1968, was able to afford a unique computer for him, and a few other select geeks, to use on their own. A computer, tied to a main-frame up town, which Bill and his cohorts got to use day and night and weekends and all summer until all they did was program and program and program, until this coding-jones replicated exponentially into Microsoft. My God, how could you compete with those innate set of circumstances? Because part of what Gladwell expounds on, what ultimately leads to Bill’s success, lay not so much in the advantages, as the time he spent perfecting his craft. His 10,000 hours.
You may as well know, I’m an academic. I have a Master of Fine Arts degree in Writing and at the time my thesis, a novel, was in progress, I was working on a three-book contact. So, in one ten-month period, I wrote one 80,000 and three 50,000 word novels, as well as several papers, four grant proposals (I minored in grant writing), and two short stories. This is addition to all the ancillary writing that goes along with the business of submission and course requirements, so I spent many a weekend from sun-up to -set still in my dressing gown, gaining my sustenance by anything I could eat with one hand. At times, it wasn’t a pretty sight, but it was always exhilarating and ultimately very rewarding.
The end result is I can drop prose like others drop trou, and now I get to teach people how to do it. I’m not perfect, I’m still a work-in-progress, but I can honestly say I love what I do. And if you can say that, well then, your working days are done. | 2019-04-25T12:26:31 | https://gwenjoneswrites.com/2016/02/17/master-of-one/ | [

Will the Lakers Ever See The Big W?
Nash is out for the season and that’s a fact for the Lakers, now they have to place their full trust in Jeremy Lin who either way was going to be the starter for this team at point. Many people have given guard Kobe Bryant the cold back that he is too old, not good enough or just plan past his time, I will not accept that, and this is coming from a Celtics fan. Yes, I believe in Kobe, he has done so much that he is owed the benefit of the doubt. The Warriors are younger, faster and have a better all around team, no one doubts that, but how much heart do they have knowing it could all be over tomorrow, that’s what the Lakers have.

"I want to express my gratitude to each and every person who entered the Our Dramatic Landscape exhibition. The entries were inspired, diverse, honoring, sentimental, and most certainly dramatic. I never came across a set of images that I did not spend time with. The overall quality of the submissions was even more than expected, and I found making my final decisions to be quite difficult. Every image fit the bill for the words I’d written in the call for this exhibition in so many ways. Frankly, looking back once more at everything makes me think that my words were lacking in their description of what I was aiming for. You’ve presented me the amazing possibilities available to the adventurer in all of us, and for that I am extremely grateful. You have all done a great service to this planet by honoring the environment with your wonderful photographs. You stepped up to the plate. You put your best foot forward. You brought the drama and the light. But most important of all, you brought your experiences to me with all the passion and expertise that I could have ever hoped for. Thank you all."

Dianthus Purple Flower is a great choice if you want to make a lasting impression. The rich purple tone is sure to lift spirits. It makes a nice contrasting variety with lighter colors.
My wedding was very DIY, and the flowers were spectacular! After speaking with a rep, it was suggested that the flowers arrive on Wednesday for a Saturday wedding. I thought this sounded too early, but it was perfect. Super helpful phone conversations made this is stress-free event! | 2019-04-18T15:29:26 | https://www.wholeblossoms.com/dianthus/dianthus-purple-flower.html | [

Templo IThe Temple of the Jaguar (Templo I) is probably Tikal’s finest and most dominating monument, with its nine tiers representing the nine levels of the underworld and raising its temple to an imposing 37 metres above the spacious central plaza below. The architectural style typifies monumental Tikal with its steep sloping tiers (taluds), topped with a triple chamber temple and majestic roof comb. Templo I was built in around 732 AD and signified a break from the traditional funerary building within the adjacent North Acropolis.
Templo Ithe enemy city of Calakmul and scenes of the maize deity being carried to the underworld on a canoe.
The striking decorated crown that rises from the roof of the temple is called a roof comb. Roof combs are common at Tikal and comprise of two framework walls leant against on another, faced with carved stone and covered with stucco (plaster). The roof comb on the Temple of the Jaguar featured an image of the king flanked by scrolls and serpents.
Yo fuí a Tikal hace en los 90. Lo han explorado mucho más. Los anuncios de esta semana de nuevos descubrimientos son de mucha importancia para nuestro pueblo de Guatemala y para el mundo. Me motiva a volver si puedo!

Canada, the United States, Britain, France and Germany pledged Thursday to work to disrupt "the hostile activities of foreign intelligence networks" and called on Russia to disclose its nerve agent program.
In a joint statement, the other four countries said they backed Britain's assessment that Russian officers were behind an attack on a former Russian spy and his daughter using the nerve agent Novichok after London charged two Russians in absentia.
"We have full confidence in the British assessment that the two suspects were officers from the Russian military intelligence service, also known as the GRU, and that this operation was almost certainly approved at a senior government level," the statement said, adding that the countries urged Russia to provide "full disclosure of its Novichok program."
The countries also said they welcomed the attempted murder charges brought yesterday against two suspects.
On Thursday, British UN Ambassador Karen Pierce briefed the 15-member United Nations Security Council on the latest developments in the case of the attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal. She said there was clear evidence of Russian state involvement.
Nikki Haley, the American ambassador to the UN, said the United States stands shoulder to shoulder with its ally and accepts its findings in this case. The Trump administration official then urged the Russian government to turn over these alleged "murderers," who are said to have used a military-grade nerve agent to carry out the attack.
"While this incident was in Salisbury, who is to say it couldn't have happened in Paris or Amsterdam or Addis?" Haley said.
"We must now help our British friends find the two Russian suspects they have identified and bring them to face justice in the United Kingdom. Better yet, why doesn't the Russian government turn these two murderers over to British authorities?"
Haley praised the work of British authorities who identified the two Russian intelligence agents said to be behind the attack, calling it "a master class" on how to conduct an investigation.
Russia's UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told the council that inconsistencies in the British evidence were "off the charts" and London was only interested in "unleashing a disgusting anti-Russia hysteria." | 2019-04-25T06:50:33 | https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-uk-salisbury-poisoning-1.4812808?cmp=rss | [

Gartner analysts caution that "75 percent of enterprises that do not perform a pre-implementation analysis of their IP network infrastructure will not achieve a successful VoIP implementation." Transitioning physically separate voice and data networks onto a single shared infrastructure without compromising the quality of either voice traffic or data traffic will require new practices and procedures. Remote Performance Management Solutions play a central role in successful network assessment.
The cloud is growing and as a result businesses are becoming increasingly dependent on cloud-based technologies to run their businesses. One example revolves around VoIP technology. Many business owners are attracted to VoIP because of its cost savings and applications that drive employee productivity; however some business owners hesitate because they are concerned about sacrificing call quality. This often occurs when companies conduct business with a technology provider that does not have the proper technical expertise or the tools to successfully deploy IP based solutions. Advanced Remote Performance Management Software pinpoints network drains, all the way down to the appliance. The tool provides valuable insight that can determine which appliance, such as a PC, within an organization is hoarding bandwidth causing poor voice or video quality.
In order to keep up with the rapid pace of technology, data networks will need to become much stronger, faster, flexible and transparent. The success of a business's operations will be strongly correlated to network performance and Remote Performance Management Solutions allow businesses to diagnose network issues and resolve problems immediately. Data networks are the lifeblood of business operations and companies like Voice Smart Networks are proactively protecting their customers, increasing their profitability and providing them with a competitive advantage. | 2019-04-21T10:58:05 | http://www.sddt.com/Reports/article.cfm?RID=955&SourceCode=20130121cwa&_t=Voice+Smart+Networks+helps+customers+preassess+continuously+monitor+network+infrastructure+for+smooth+operations | [

It must have been a long time since I have watched a movie staring Scarlett Johansson but the over acting in the opening scene was beyond terrible.
I would suggest you watch the Home Project because this movie uses a lot of the nature footage from it. The Home Project is an amazing piece for videography.
Lucy is a very short, very average movie. Lucy is basically what you would get from watching a couple weeks of the science channel except with a pretty actress, flimsy explanations and a so so story. I give it a 2/5.
Watch the Home Project YouTube video instead – it’s a better waste of your time. | 2019-04-19T22:48:12 | http://livejamaicaupdates.com/movie-review-lucy-staring-scarlett-johansson/ | [

After Cherry Mobile revealed four Android gadgets this June, they are going to release a new smartphone by the end of this month. This is the latest addition to Cherry Mobile list of Quad core phones, dubbed as Razor. A 4.5-inch Android Jellybean phone built with Dragon Trail Glass screen that preserves the smoothness of this device. Running on a 1.2Ghz quad core processor from MediaTek partnered with PowerVR GPU under 1 GB RAM amount.
We haven’t heard from CM regarding how much is Cherry Mobile Razor but we’re pretty sure that this phone is tagged with affordable price. You may look at the attractive specs of this device below.
One feature of Cherry Mobile Razor that can attract buyers is the 7.7m blade-like slim form design. The key specs are the usual bundles of Cherry Mobile quad core phones, what we’re waiting is the price of this phone for us to determine if this would be a hit or not. On the other hand, it has a non-removable battery and a Single SIM phone that makes you wonder why it has designed like that. Everything has a reason, we’ll wait for Cherry Mobile to officially announced the price and complete specs.
This was posted on their Junetastic image flyer along with Cherry Mobile Thunder 2.0, Blaze 2.0 and 2 Fusion tablets Wave and Wind. Also teased a tweet on their Twitter account under the #CMRazor hashtag. | 2019-04-18T12:58:17 | https://www.howtoquick.net/2013/06/cherry-mobile-razor-jellybean.html | [

I propose a simillar feature as CP has it. Define a so called cutoff-quality (e.g. BluRay 1080p). If Radarr has imported the movie in this set quality it should automatically set the movie to unmonitored.
I'm not him. But it would allow me to delete local movies after I've uploaded them to the cloud.
This would be amazing. I see radarr downloading dupes and this could be avoided if it unmonitors movies once the cutoff is reached.
Now, I have DVD in the profile, the movie is recognised as DVD, but it is still being monitored. This feature and other to accept all qualities in the profile will be awesome. | 2019-04-21T06:23:20 | https://feathub.com/Radarr/Radarr/+115 | [

industry to convince himself that he should be his own boss.
He finally made the leap in 2003, starting Layman Fabrication in North Vernon, Indiana, in an old turkey barn behind his house.
His son, Kyle, was in high school, but he already knew he wanted to build things. It took 10 more years of meticulous work before the two brought in employees.
They’ve long left the turkey barn behind. Layman Fabrication moved into an 8,400-square-foot building in 2011 and has ridden the manufacturing resurgence to the point of finishing a 4,000-square-foot addition. The extra space will allow them to add six welding stations to the 10 they have.
Mig-, Tig- and Stick-weld mild steel, aluminum and stainless steel.
A paint booth to accommodate finishing requirements.
Bend metal plates and metal tubes with a CNC hydraulic press brake and tubing bender.
Punch holes with a 50-ton iron-worker, saw and cut metal to size, and drill and tap holes.
Layman bought a CNC plasma cutter and brought in a design engineer to increase its capabilities further.
What we do, fabricating and welding, is a dying skill.
Layman is on track to do $1.7 million in sales this year. The goal is to get the company to $5 million.
“We want to move more into CNC machining. It would give us capability our competitors don’t have,” Kyle said. Layman also would like to be able to do its own cutting rather than having to outsource the work.
For most companies, the key to growth is being able to retain workers and find new ones to handle additional work. Layman concentrates on workplace culture and extensive training.
Most of Layman’s work is in the automotive—“We’re in an automotive hot zone from here to Detroit”—and the material handling industries. Layman’s largest customer is Toyota Industrial Equipment Manufacturing in Columbus, Indiana. Toyota makes forklifts there.
Layman’s satisfied customers are helping it grow organically. Toyota remains a highly respected name in the manufacturing industry, and Layman’s long-standing relationship earned it a referral to a John Deere manufacturing operation in Tennessee. Agriculture is one of several industries Layman is targeting for new business.
Kyle has turned to several mentors to help improve his business-management skills because he wants to heed the advice that Doug gave when he took over the business.
Layman Manufacturing employees gather in the warehouse for a group photo.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Jan. 17, the eve of the March for Life, pilgrims from the Archdiocese of New Orleans began the day in praise to God in Mass at their hotel, and ended it in benediction at the 10th annual “Life is Very Good” evening of prayer and rally at EagleBank Arena at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
“Be open and allow God to come into our heart,” Angrisano told 8,000 young people from across the United States who came from as far away as North Dakota.
He mentioned how the event has grown from its inception 10 years earlier with only 350 people.
“We rally ourselves, we open our hearts today because tomorrow we stand and make a difference in the world,” Angrisano said.
Bishop Burbidge said another reason “life is very good” is that God put people in their lives, such as parents, teachers and youth ministers, who love and direct them.
To set the mood for his joyful talk, speaker Chris Stefanick of Colorado invited several youths to the stage for a sing-off, with the crowd selecting their favorite duo of the three groups.
Stefanick said joy transformed his heart as a youth.
1. Give thanks in all circumstances. “Gratitude fuels joy.” It is the key that will unlock the smile on your face.
2. Stop compromising with sin. Cut the bad things out of your life, whether it is a friend, a website, whatever.
3. Carry your body upright with a sense of dignity and royalty. “You are royalty. … That’s how the almighty God looks at us. A cheerful face leads to a cheerful heart,” he said. Carry yourself like a winner, and people will see you as one.
4. Serve others. Lose yourself in love and service.
5. Keep your mind on the big picture. Don’t let the rough pages (trials) in your life compare with the bigger story. Stefanick said Christians were founded in love. “The love of Jesus Christ for you, that’s the source of our joy,” he said.
Angrisano led the attendees in worship before the evening closed with benediction. He told them to give their hurts to God.
Earlier in the day at the Louisiana Right to Life “Geaux Forth 2019” rally at the Wagner Theatre near the White House, the crew from New Orleans heard pro-life talks from two speakers who had personal experiences with abortions.
Krista Corbello talked about her mother choosing not to abort her even though she was encouraged to get an abortion because she was unmarried and her boyfriend had abandoned her. She later met her biological father and learned he had aborted a baby who would have been her sibling. She also explained several abortion procedures to the youth.
Speaker Melissa Ohden should have died from a saline solution abortion procedure her mother had, but God had other plans for her life. She said pro-choice advocates say abortion is a choice, but very few women have a choice. Sixty-four percent of those polled say they were pressured into an abortion. Her mother was one of them and was never told her daughter had survived the abortion. | 2019-04-21T20:28:03 | https://clarionherald.org/2019/01/25/a-theme-worth-shouting-about-life-is-very-good/ | [

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post by 21 Drops. While I was compensated for the post, all opinions - as always - are my own.
A few months ago when I was in Europe, 21 Drops sent some essential oil blends and I only just got to trying them out this past week and I couldn't wait to share because I think they're genius. Here's the thing about essential oils - it's really hard to come by a good blend. Many are made with synthetic ingredients and are no bueno for the body. With 21 Drops, the blends are certified organic or wild-crafted essential oils, and are free of paragons, sulfates, synthetic fragrances and dyes, petrochemicals, phthalates, GMOs and triclosan.
In the past, I've talked about various ways to use essential oils as therapy for various things and to improve mood, but what I like about these blends is that they come already prepared and there's no guesswork for us to do. 21 Drops creates the blends for specific purposes (the founder, Cary Caster, is a botanist and clinical aromatherapist) and that's great because there's a lot that goes into designing a blend (you need to use a specific carrier oil, and there are certain essential oils that you don't want to get directly on your skin, etc). So they take on the task of figuring out the best blends, and we get to reap the benefits.
Uplift: A blend to help shake the blues and brighten your spirits. Contains Helichrysum to buoy the spirit, rose to sooth the heart, Lavender to nurture and German Chamomile to aid emotional healing.
Sleep: A blend to help quiet the anxious mind and relax the body in preparation for a good night's sleep. It contains Ylang Ylang to encourage peace, Vetiver to sooth, Sandalwood to quiet the mind and Palmarosa to diminish anxiety.
Focus: This one is my favorite of the four! It promotes concentration and clarity with the use of Rosemary to reduce fogginess, Peppermint to stimulate the mind and Frankincense to induce clarity.
De-Stress: This blend reduces tension, anger and anxiety with Lavender to reduce anxiety, Ylang Ylang to help ease anxiety, German Chamomile to reduce tension and Frankincense to quiet the mind.
Below is a little video to help you get a better idea of the packaging and oil blends.
I've been using the sleep blend for the past week and have noticed that I fall asleep more quickly than when I don't use it. And I absolutely love the focus blend. It just smells fantastic and I keep applying it throughout the workday. If you're at all interested in trying out a blend, I highly recommend checking out 21 Drops. | 2019-04-19T00:46:24 | https://www.yogabycandace.com/blog/21-drops-review | [

The Tampa Bay Rays took to the road on Monday with their sights set firmly on collecting their first winning road trip since June 17-21, when they took four of five from the Nationals and Indians. They also set out with an opportunity to get back to .500 and then some. The Rays, however, were unsuccessful in both endeavors, and ended the road trip with a 3-4 record after being chewed up and spit out by the unrelenting Blue Jays of Toronto.
…And the downward spiral continues its slow grind toward the end of the season.
This isn’t to say the past has been uneventful ― far from it. Joe Maddon’s Chicago Cubs clinched their first playoff berth since 2008. Not to be outdone, the Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Mets, Kansas City Royals, and Toronto Blue Jays will also play relevant baseball past October 4th, setting the table for what promises to be a compelling postseason. Now if the Houston Astros could hurry up and realize their postseason aspirations. I digress.
On the bright side, there were three promising games on the Rays road trip, all of which came at the hands of the Boston Red Sox. Let’s take a look at those games, and the peripheral events that surrounded the team this week.
Before Tuesday’s contest, curious news broke (via the Tampa Bay Times), the Atlanta Braves are allegedly interested in calling St. Petersburg their Spring Training home at some point in the near future. A proposal by SportsPark Partners LLC a group ― a development group led by Darryl LeClair ― would move the Braves Spring Training quarters from the Orlando area to a new stadium complex in the Toytown area of St. Petersburg.
You might recall, LeClair put together a Rays stadium proposal in the Carillon area of St. Pete three years ago. That plan, however, never gained traction with the team’s ownership group.
The initial bid on the Toytown property was made the beginning of the month, though the bid was not made public at that point, and it was assumed that LeClair might consider using the property toward another Rays stadium bid ― after all, it’s in the East/Central part of Pinellas County, it’s right off the highway, and it’s not far from the Howard-Frankland Bridge. It should also be noted, Pinellas County has the money to pool together for a new stadium.
The team chose not to comment on things until later in the week.
Meanwhile on the field, Mikie Mahtook hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and Matt Moore recovered from a tough start to fan seven as the Rays beat the Red Sox 5-2.
Moore threw an incredibly inefficient 32 pitch first inning, though he settled in and hurled 5-2/3 innings of scoreless baseball from that point on. The lefty didn’t walk another batter, and collected seven strikeouts, while scattering seven hits. Topping out at 96 mph multiple times throughout his start, the lefty racked up 17 total swings and misses with his four seam fastball (5), change up (6), and curveball (6).
Word also broke why Nathan Karns hadn’t taken the mound of late, the righty has been shut down for the season due to right forearm tightness.
Both Karns and Rays manager Kevin Cash said they are confident the issue is nothing serious and said that at a different point in the season he may have pitched through it. But after Karns went through a 20-pitch session early Tuesday afternoon, the decision was made to be cautious and allow him more time to rest and not risk further injury by having him make another start.
A pair of former teammates took the hill against one another on Wednesday night, yet Rays hurler Drew Smyly prevailed over Boston’s Rick Porcello. The Tampa Bay Rays broke open a close game late en route to a 6-2 win over the Red Sox.
Smyly worked around three walks and an HBP, to go along with five scattered hits. He fanned seven in his fourth scoreless start of the season ― the second in as many starts against Boston. Additionally, the scoreless start gave Rays starters their 31st scoreless start of the season ― the most in the Majors after leading the Majors last season with 32. Per the Elias Sports Bureau, Tampa Bay is just the second club in Major League history with 30 starts in back-to-back seasons when the starting pitcher was not charged with a run.
Erasmo Ramirez took the bump in the series finale with Boston and put up another gem. And though he gave up two Red Sox runs in the first inning on a David Ortiz homer (his 36th homer of the season and 502nd of his career), Ramirez settled down and did not allow another runner beyond first over the next six innings ― ultimately retiring 18 of 20 batters faced.
Erasmo has now thrown at least seven innings in three straight starts for the first time at the MLB level. He enters the with an 11-6 record and a 3.65 ERA/3.82 FIP/2.2 WAR line. Not bad for a hurler who was once referred to as “Assmo” by some of readers at DRaysBay.
Three days after a plan was unveiled to move the Atlanta Braves Spring Training home to St. Petersburg, Major League Baseball and the Tampa Bay Rays issued their first public comments.
The Rays appreciate MLB’s attention to this matter. We fully agree with and support their statement, he said in a statement when asked for comment by the media.
Earlier this week, Major League Baseball and the Tampa Bay Rays learned of the St. Petersburg Sports Park proposal for the first time. Major League Baseball appreciates the support that it has received for the construction of Spring Training facilities throughout the State of Florida. The most pressing need, however, is the construction of a Major League-quality facility for the Rays.
Major League Baseball is committed to working with the Rays to secure a new ballpark in cooperation with the Tampa Bay region. This can only happen with the support of local political and business leaders.
The Rays & MLB are assuming the Rays will be gone from Tampa Bay in a decade or so, thus diminishing any negative impact of a Braves spring training relocation. In fact, it could be positioned as a consolation prize for Pinellas County.
The Rays & MLB want to stay in Tampa Bay, but are using the pressure on Pinellas County’s limited tourist tax bonding capacity to force St. Pete’s hand. Forced to make a decision about where bed tax revenues would be best-spent, the city could allow the Rays permission to begin negotiating for new stadium sites.
The Rays & MLB want a taxpayer-funded stadium at Toytown and – unable to negotiate with Pinellas County right now – the Rays have coordinated with the Braves, MLB, and developers to orchestrate a bait-and-switch. The proposed 10,000-seat stadium becomes a 25,000-seat stadium and the Rays move closer to the bay bridges. The Braves could even share Bright House Networks Field in Clearwater without major expenditures.
Pransky was quick to note that while option three is a longshot, all three theories could mean a considerable bump in leverage for the Rays as they continue to push for a new stadium.
The weekend series against Toronto was a wash. The team played like the Devil Rays, although we got a sense of what’s to be expected out of the Blue Jays in the playoffs. God help whoever they may face. | 2019-04-22T02:00:27 | http://tampabayrays.co/this-week-in-rays-baseball-%E2%80%95-92115-92715/ | [

I have been having varying degrees of success building a simple VCO from the designs in Thomas's book Making Music with the 3080 OTA.
The VCO section is working nicely now on my veroboard design. But my problems are with getting the current source to work correctly.
I have tried building the "Easy Exponential Current Source" which ought to suit my needs. However the pots range is unusable.
All the range is within the 1/3rd of central position on the pot - at either end (upper 1/3rd and lower 1/3rd) the VCO bottoms or tops out with the frequency remaining the same for the rest of the range.
I can't work out how this is adjusted? Or why it should be so.
Seems wrong that the super simple solution works better!
If only the middle third of the pot is useful, add a 100k resistor between the 15v and the top of the pot and another 100k between the bottom of the pot and the -15v (assuming you are using a 100k pot).
I've built that vco using the precision expo source and there is no stepping.
I agree that you might have the transistors in wrong? I laid out my board (accidentally) for matched VBe BC560 type transistors vs. 2N3906 (the C/B/E pinouts are different for the different transistors--doh!).
Helps to pay better attention to Eagle parts placement Just something to check I guess.
With BC559's the current source worked perfectly for about 8 octaves. Trimmed out the V/oct by ear. Works great and temp compensation is good as well.
I am having matched 2N3906 version fabbed up at EasyEDA now. I guess we'll see if that works....it should.
Update. Matched 3906 version of the TH 3080/13600/13700 expo current source works great. I have tested on both 3080 and 13700. Yep, the thing really works.
It's a really good design, simple and easy to build.
hats off the the mighty TH!
I'll post more on my website one of these days.
Paul: one more thing I noticed when I was building this: make sure you have the right cap value in the VCO stage (tied to the OTA). I didn't when I was breadboarding and the thing only went to like 4K an never higher. | 2019-04-21T02:15:38 | http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-58021-0.html&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= | [

If I Had Only Known… Would I Do Anything Differently?
So many years have gone by since my divorce became final.
I spend a lot of time looking back and wondering where the time has gone. I no longer recognize myself when I look in the mirror.
Somewhere along the line, I lost the bravery and the youth that made the divorce difficult, but possible.
Where is that girl who did her research and her stake out to catch the pictures that she needed to prove her husband’s dishonesty? Where is the young woman who single handedly raised her three children to be talented, loyal and generous?
Somehow being me became secondary to fighting to for everything.
Being “me” was no longer a part of my life.
I lost the that part of me while I was busy being mom, dad, wage earner and every other role I have played during the last decade.
I spend a lot of time thinking about what I do, and how to get things done. I think about the things I need to get done. I don’t have the time or the energy to be anything else but what people need me to be.
So, I think, and I think some more… and I wonder. I wonder about all that I might have done differently If I knew then what I know now.
Today, I know that it does not make me a bad mother if I cannot give 100% of my attention to my children 24 hours each day. In fact, a hard lesson learned is that today, I truly believe that we teach our children a very important lesson by teaching them that mothers have needs too. We need to feel important. We need to feel loved. We need time to feel just about anything and everything. We need time to be less than perfect. We need to admit that we don’t always have the answers. The best message that we can send to our children is that we matter too. By not teaching them this lesson, I taught myself how to experience guilt as a daily reminder every time I feel less than the perfect mother. This is a horrible lesson for my daughter, and a dangerous lesson for my sons.
What else have I learned? Sometimes it’s important to make changes. Don’t be fearful. Don’t hang on to the old because of fear. I know my second marriage came about because of fear. About to lose my health insurance, I married a man I had been dating, a man who had become a friend. Overwhelmed with the responsibility he had taken on, everything went very bad, very quickly. The relationship ended violently. I blame myself for making that decision. I divorced in sadness, then remarried in fear. I looked for a protector, when all I needed was courage.
It was wrong. I did not trust myself to take care of myself financially.
What else have I learned? Like the stewardess who tells us to put on our own oxygen masks before we put on the mask for others, I have spent my life giving oxygen to others.
Bad idea. I have never, ever put my own needs first. I’m sorry about that. I lost a lot of “me time” in making the decisions I made. Watching my second child get ready to go to University, I wonder if it is too late to find myself. With only one more child at home, it is time to face some of those choices. While I am truly proud of my children, I am fearful of facing the truth; I am afraid of what’s to come. I am wondering how I will feel when I am faced with the emptiness of my own company.
I no longer need to be in a relationship. I got over that a long time ago. One of the most important things I learned is that unless you can be happy alone, you are not ready to be in a relationship with anyone else.
Fearing my time alone, at least I know that my life is not over and there is a lot of work to be done. This time, at this stage, I am working on putting myself first. It’s about time. | 2019-04-26T15:50:46 | https://divorcedmoms.com/blogs/single-mom-second-chance/if-i-had-only-known-would-i-do-anything-differently/ | [

A live wire fire on New Haven Ave on Aug. 12.
After about an hour of burning on the roadway, the UI was about to shut the power off to the line that had fallen and arched. This was the aftermath…crews emptied a tank of water onto the burning asphalt and still could not cool it enough. As you can see in the last photo, it even turned some of the asphalt and sand into glass!
This is a reminder that ANY lines you see that have fallen from the poles are to be treated as LIVE WIRES. This wire fire burnt a 12-foot line in the road, it could do much worse to someone who touches it or runs it over with their vehicle.

What do different coastal features look like?
The Coastal Features resource sheet for lesson one shows images of different coastal features. These features are: 1. Tombolo; 2. Beach; 3. Salt marsh; 4. Cave, Arch, Stack; 5. Bay; 6. Headland; 7. Cliff; 8. Spit; 9. Peninsula.
Tombolos, beaches, salt marshes and spits are formed as a result of deposition. Caves, arches and stacks, bays, headlands, cliffs and peninsulas are formed as a result of erosion. Go to the British Geographer website for details and diagrams of how each of these features are formed.
Why might coastal features change over time?
Coasts are dynamic systems which result in changes over time. Continuous erosion and or deposition will lead to coastal features changing over time.
How might coastal features change over time?
Erosion over time of a headland, for example, can lead to the development of a cave which can develop into an arch and eventually a stack and stump. Go to the British Geographer website for further information on these changes along with an over view of how other coastal features change over time.
Watch the PowerPoint What is a coast? You will see a number of different coasts from around the world. Work with a partner and use the evidence in the photographs to put together an answer to the question, what is a coast? Feedback your answer to the rest of the class and put everyone’s ideas together to create a class definition.
Your teacher will give you a blank world map and a resource sheet (Coastal Features) with nine images of different coastal features.
On the board will be a list of these features: beach; cave, arch, stack; cliff; tombolo, peninsula, spit, salt marsh, headland; bay. You have to see if you can guess which feature is which. Once correctly labelled, use an atlas to locate the different places for each feature on your blank map.
Next to the label, which should state the place name and coastal feature, you should draw a diagram to show that feature based on the image on the Coastal Features sheet.
Choose one of the features you have looked at during today’s lesson. Think about how this feature might change over time? Would you expect it to look the same in 100 years’ time? Why do you think the feature you have chosen might look different? | 2019-04-24T10:34:56 | https://www.rgs.org/schools/teaching-resources/coasts/more-than-just-a-day-at-the-seaside/ | [

The impostor phenomenon (IP) is increasingly recognized as an important psychological construct for career development, yet empirical research on how it functions in this domain is sparse. We investigated in what way impostor feelings are related to the fear of failure, fear of success, self-esteem, and the career-development aspects career planning, career striving, and the motivation to lead. We conducted two studies with independent samples of university students (N = 212) in a laboratory study and working professionals (N = 110) in an online study. In both samples, impostor feelings were fostered by fear of failure, fear of success, and low self-esteem and they decreased career planning, career striving, and the motivation to lead. A path analysis showed that impostor feelings had the most negative effects on career planning and career striving in students and on the motivation to lead in working professionals. The results suggest that the IP is relevant to career development in different ways at different career stages. Practical implications and interventions to reduce the negative effects of impostor feelings on career development are discussed. | 2019-04-21T05:17:03 | http://eplus.uni-salzburg.at/obvusboa/content/titleinfo/1939807 | [

When I first headed along to LARP, almost four years ago now, I ate terribly. I don’t mean that I missed meals or forgot to eat, but rather I spent my weekends living on fast food and junk. Being a crew member at Profound Decisions comes with free meal tickets – and being skint and virtually homeless at the time I took full advantage. Burgers, chips, macaroni cheese – I ate them for every meal. With a full English in the mornings. And I supplemented those meals with snacks from the crew hut like flapjack brownies and, yes, Freddo’s by the fistful. It wasn’t a healthy diet I was fueling my body with.
It was great. Well, unless I realised that eating like this at LARP events was making me quite unwell. I’m not a big person either – at 5ft tall and slim I just couldn’t continue putting away portions designed to fuel LARPers that were twice the size of me. Moving in with my partner and doing a wider variety of games (other than just fests) also made me reconsider the way that I was eating at LARP events and something had to change.
Now I’m not saying that everyone should eat healthy food when they’re away at LARP (or at any other time in their life) but there does seem to be a certain expected ‘burger van’ culture of catering at many events – especially fests. And if you don’t want to eat that kind of food it can be difficult to find healthy alternatives. I should also give a huge shout out here to people like The Grange, Goldbird Catering, and The Gaol who have all supplied balanced food for events I’ve been at. Over the last two years the Profound Decisions crew hut supplies have hugely improved too – fresh fruit is now a permanent fixture alongside the chocolate bars!
But anyway – I digress. The best thing that my partner and I did this year was buy a 4m bell tent with Frontier stove. I will lovingly froth at everyone about how much this has changed my crewing experience. The Frontier essentially gives me a convenient stove top for cooking on, and it usually takes less than half an hour to get warmed up. I take with me to events an enamel casserole and some balti dishes, and that’s all the cooking pots I need for the two of us and the odd friend.
This is the food I’ve just packed for the last Empire LRP of the season. Having cooked for the best part of a year, I think I’ve started to get the hang of what I need to take and what I don’t in order to eat healthily. So I’d like to share, as a starting point, some of the things I have found that work for me. (These are largely referral links to Amazon – I make a few pennies towards site costs if you order things from the website once you’ve clicked on the link).
Courgettes and carrots. This is basically where you ‘add veg to taste’ (or meat, I guess – but the advantage of vegetarian catering at events is that you don’t have to worry about meat spoiling). Courgettes work brilliantly in curry and carrots for tagine. I also tend to pick up a bag of spinach or spring greens for the cool bag.
This crate stays more or less packed between events and I just top it up as we run low. It’s full of things with long shelf lives that I can mostly pull meals together from, as well as breakfasts and light lunches.
The Spice Tailor. I was bored and hungry in Tesco one day; what I really fancied was a takeaway curry but instead I found these. They aren’t cheap (around £3 a pack) so you could instead just buy cheaper jars of sauces, but they’re honestly worth every penny to feel like you’re eating well. They contain separate bags of spices, onion and garlic, and sauce meaning that it’s almost like cooking a curry from scratch. I always have tins of tomato and coconut milk stashed in the basket to just extend the sauce slightly, and I cook whatever healthy vegetables I have on hand in it (usually with a tin of chickpeas added and some naan bread alongside instead of rice). The Rogan Josh is pretty excellent as is the Fiery Goan Curry. I’m basically working my way through the whole range at each event I go to.
Gastro Moroccan Tagine. I did cook a tagine from scratch in a lovely heavy Le Creuset* shallow casserole at the first event we took the stove to. It was great. But it was an awful lot of messing about while I was crewing. (If I was playing I’d proberbly make the effort one night at an event if I had more time to sit around in camp.) Instead I have succumbed to the way of convenience and I now buy this Lloyd Grossman sauce. I keep sultanas and tinned chickpeas in the crate ready to add to some fresh vegetables, and there are even little packets of couscous (because those big packs, they always end up splitting and going everywhere).
Tinned vegetables. Peas, sweetcorn, even fried onion in case I forget real onions (or just don’t feel like chopping them up). They can all quickly be dumped into one pot meals to add variety or extend it for unexpected guests.
Beanfeast Bolognese* and Super Rice*. This is mostly my partners contribution and I am a reluctant convert. You just add hot water. And they taste pretty good too.
Sugar Free Red Bull*. I do actually like the taste. And it’s only 12 calories which is far better than most sweet, fizzy drinks.
Hot drinks. Events can get cold. And I don’t know about you, but I can’t function without a hot drink in the mornings. The tupperware box in the photo has a selection of different herbal teas that just need hot water. They’re mostly Clipper*. Sometimes I find myself thinking I’m hungry when I’m actually a bit bored (it’s a bit like when I get up from the sofa and open the fridge at home with no real purpose). So I drink herbal tea. My regular tea of choice is Clipper Organic*. And the instant coffee that we take to events is Nescafe Azera because it doesn’t taste totally foul. If I have space I sometimes take a V60 drip coffee maker* and some fresh coffee, or an Aeropress*.
Breakfast. It’s important when I’m trying to eat healthily that I start the day well. I’ve got three options this weekend: The first are porridge sachets*. You’re supposed to microwave them, but they’re just as easy on the stove top (and at 50 for £11, it’s a no-brainer). Lately I’ve got myself a bit hooked on this Fuel 10k chocolate granola* (I usually get it from Tesco). To make it simpler for events, I’ve pre-measured portions into little snack bags and I’ll pack some yoghurts in the cool bag. Lastly are the Fuel 10k liquid breakfasts*. I’ve always hated these kind of meal replacement drinks with a passion because they taste of dust and cardboard, but these are pretty good. I drink them regularly before 0630hrs gym classes when I’m not at events. Since they don’t need a fridge and they have a long date, they’re good and relatively healthy standbys.
Snacks. If the event doesn’t provide a crew hut with fruit I usually add apples and bananas to the basket. Other than that, it’s just the usual stuff: Soreen bars, dried fruit, nuts, chocolate bars and some little packs of crisp things. Basically – whatever is on offer in the Supermarket that week. Itsu’s individual packets of Miso soup* are my other hidden gem for snacks. Add hot water to the paste and you have a strong tasting broth that makes you feel like you’ve eaten.
I’ve not included the contents of the coolbag in the post above. To be honest, for Empire it’s mostly just milk, yoghurts, and booze that I’ve put in the freezer first to act as ice packs. My cool bag is a £3.50 Ikea one. It’s not great, but it just about does three days if you put enough frozen stuff in (I fill the space with frozen bottles of water).
Next year my plan is to do my LARP store-cupboard shopping all in one go at the beginning of the season. I’m hoping to take advantage of service likes Amazon Pantry (if you’ve not tried that yet you really should) and offers at the supermarkets to make it as cheap as possible. If you have any suggestions for healthy recipes that can be largely bought and prepped in advance or brilliant products that you couldn’t live with out, drop us a line in the comments!
I hope that this post convinces you that with a little planning it’s not too arduous a task to cook relatively healthy meals at events. From starting the fire to eating I rarely spend more than an hour cooking in the evening. While group catering and campfire cooking can be enjoyable, you can also have the benefits of healthy food without the time-sink. | 2019-04-22T16:04:55 | http://larp.guide/2016/09/healthy-food-for-larp/ | [

You've done it, you took the plunge and rebranded your business, your website is nearly finished....but now what?! QUE THE PANIC! What do you do next? It's time to launch that baby!
Today we are talking LAUNCHING! Ok, so this video mostly talks about launching after you've done a rebrand because that's mostly what I help people with.... but it will also work if you are launching your business for the very first time or even launching a new signature service, product, or course!
There are four steps to launching your new brand with a bang!
1| Pick an official launch date!
Check your calendar for a time when you can be free from any major client work because you will be crazy busy during launch week!
You want to pick a date that's a few weeks after your website design is complete so you have plenty of time to get things in order.
Do not rush yourself! But, also don't wait for everything to be perfect! Things will never be perfect. That's why you've cleared your calendar for the week.
You don't want to put off your launch because then you are missing out on clients but you also want enough time to do it right. 2-3 weeks is a good time frame from the day your website is complete until your official "launch date." This is also a good buffer in case the design takes a little bit longer because that sometimes happens.
Also, let your designer know that you are planning to do a big launch/reveal on that date so they know ahead of time. They will probably be excited about just as you are!
So, pick a date and stick to it.
You want to start building buzz about a month or so before your launch date. You want people to be curious about what's going on, but you don't want to draw it out so much that they forget about you. Here are something you can do to start building the buzz about your new brand.
Get a coming soon page up on your website! You can even add a countdown during the last few days to really build excitement. Give them a place to get on your email list to get info when you are ready to launch!
Share behind the scenes and sneak peeks on your social media and in your email newsletters! things like getting a delivery of new business cards, a picture from your branding photoshoot or a selfie of your face when your designer sent you a screenshot of your new about page. Anything fun like that! People love sneak peeks!
Do a free 5-day email challenge the week before your launch! This will really help get people on your email list and build the buzz before your launch! bonus points for this one, because this is something you can reuse later as an opt-in or sell as a mini-training!
Do a giveaway or contest the week before your launch. This is another great way to build your list and get people excited about what you offer. You definitely want to make sure your giveaway is targeted towards your audience to make it really effective. You could give away a free coaching session or entry to your course. Something that won't take up too much of your time but its really valuable to your ideal client.
Collaborate with other creatives! This, I think is one of the most exciting ways to boost your launch. With a perfectly timed guest blogger spot or podcast interview you can really expand your reach! The other creative is going to be sharing your info right at the same time you are sharing about something really exciting happening soon which means New followers will get caught up in the excitement! Magic will happen.
One more fun way to create buzz is to create a video about your launch or go live. You can talk about the why behind the changes and what you are most excited about. If you do something edited you can even run those as an ad on Facebook and Instagram to get a little more reach.
When I launched my course, Adobe Illustrator for non-designers. I actually made a video for the people who would NOT like the course! and it was really fun to lead with that!
Think outside the box when it comes to building buzz! This should be fun!!
To make things even easier for you, I've create a list of 24 things you can do build buzz around the launch! This list includes things to send in an email or post on social media!
3| Prep everything ahead of time and then double check ... twice.
This is all about being diligent about getting things in order for a smoother launch.
Have things for people to do when they get to your website. You want to have blogs post ready for people to read when they get to your website. You want to have an awesome freebie for them to sign up for. Links to follow you on social. Things for them to buy!
It's literally the worst when someone launches and website and there is NOTHING THERE! Actually, the worst is when it has things like coming soon or filler text. YUCK!
Test all your links and forms! If you said there was a link....make sure there is an actually a link to go to. I can't tell you how many times this happens to me because I tend to rush things. Don't do that.
Order new business cards or whatever printed materials you need.
Test your links and forms again. Check for mistakes. Ask a friend to help you with this in exchange for coffee on you!
When you are ready to "go live" you want to be prepared so you can change everything at the same time. You don't want to have one logo on Facebook and another on your website.
This is also a good time to make sure your systems are solid. After a big launch, you will most likely have an influx of inquiries or orders. Make sure you can handle them, which is why you really really want to test everything!
Tell your biz besties, tell your mastermind group, tell your real life besties, tell your mom, tell your grandma. TELL EVERYONE.
You really have to tell everyone. I hear so often from women with an online business that they don't want to announce to their family and friends about their business, and I understand the fear of judgment. But let me ask you this if you open up a little cafe in your town....wouldn't you tell everyone you know about it? Why is your online business any different??? You really do have to jump over that mindset hurdle.
Announce it on your email list, several times.
You can even ask certain people to share about your launch. People like your photographer and designer. Anyone who helped you get to this point! Anyone who is also excited for you! If you feel comfortable doing so, ask them to share about it. The team of people who helped you are definitely going to want to shout you out and so are the people who love you and support you!
Ask people who are well known in your industry to give you a shout out! It's uncomfortable, but this is how you launch with a bang.
Send snail mail postcards to those who've supported you along the way and past clients! You can thank them for supporting your business, let them know where to find you now, and remind them you are still alive!
This is also a great way to generate momentum after your launch because eventually, the buzz will die down, but a postcard in the mail goes a long way towards reminding people how they felt when they worked with you!
Launching doesn't have to be stressful. It might be a little but stressful because it's new to you but it CAN AND SHOULD be really fun! Be sure to grab this list of ideas, it will really help you come up with fun ideas! | 2019-04-24T19:53:51 | https://www.alexanderdesignco.com/blogposts/build-buzz-launch-rebranding | [

Where can I find this coordinate reference system (wgs84 30N CM 3W) in ArcGIS?
I have a data with this coordinate reference system (wgs84 30N CM 3W). and I need to load the data in ArcGIS but I can't seem to find it exactly in ArcGIS. First, I will like to know if it's same thing as the usual wgs84 UTM 30N or what is it? Please, how can I deal with this?

The European Commission has informed Samsung of its preliminary view that Samsung’s seeking of injunctions against Apple in various Member States on the basis of its mobile phone standard-essential patents (“SEPs”) amounts to an abuse of a dominant position prohibited by EU antitrust rules. While recourse to injunctions is a possible remedy for patent infringements, such conduct may be abusive where SEPs are concerned and the potential licensee is willing to negotiate a licence on Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory (so-called “FRAND”) terms. The sending of a Statement of Objections does not prejudge the final outcome of the investigation.
Standards bodies generally require members to commit to license patents that they have declared essential for a standard on FRAND terms. This commitment is designed to ensure effective access to a standard for all market players and to prevent “hold-up” by a single SEP holder, since access to those patents which are standard-essential is a precondition for any company to sell interoperable products in the market. At the same time, it allows SEP holders to be fairly remunerated for their intellectual property.
The Samsung SEPs in question relate to the European Telecommunications Standardisation Institute’s (ETSI) 3G UMTS standard, a key industry standard for mobile and wireless communications. When this standard was adopted in Europe, Samsung gave a commitment that it would license the patents which it had declared essential to the standard on FRAND terms. In 2011, Samsung started to seek injunctive relief before courts in various Member States against Apple based on claimed infringements of certain of its 3G UMTS SEPs.
Today’s Statement of Objections sets out the Commission’s preliminary view that under the specific circumstances of this case, where a commitment to license SEPs on FRAND terms has been given by Samsung, and where a potential licensee, in this case Apple, has shown itself to be willing to negotiate a FRAND licence for the SEPs, then recourse to injunctions harms competition. Since injunctions generally involve a prohibition of the product infringing the patent being sold, such recourse risks excluding products from the market without justification and may distort licensing negotiations unduly in the SEP-holder’s favour. The preliminary view expressed in today’s Statement of Objections does not question the availability of injunctive relief for SEP holders outside the specific circumstances present in this case, for example in the case of unwilling licensees. Here to read more. | 2019-04-26T06:39:52 | http://www.medialaws.eu/antitrust-commission-sends-statement-of-objections-to-samsung-on-potential-misuse-of-mobile-phone-standard-essential-patents/ | [

Linda Rising, co-author of More Fearless Change: Strategies for Making Your Ideas Happen, introduces some new patterns that can have an effect not just on cooperation among co-workers, but on how we live and interact with other people day to day.
In our book More Fearless Change: Strategies for Making Your Ideas Happen, Mary Lynn Manns and I share what we have learned about our 48 original patterns in Fearless Change: Patterns for Introducing New Ideas, and we introduce 15 new patterns. We started writing these patterns for organizational initiatives, to help leaders of change at any level. Now we see that these approaches also work for personal change; that is, they help individuals to make changes in their own lives. Whether people want to lose weight, learn a new technical skill, or improve their eating habits, the Fearless Change patterns will help them.
We have also learned that many of our readers, as business and technical leaders of organizational change, tend to be objective, linear thinkers. As we continue working on new patterns, we have discovered that feelings and emotional connection are as important as executing the right strategy—or even more important.
As examples of these insights, and to share some of the new patterns, this article introduces three new patterns: Know Yourself, Emotional Connection, and Concrete Action Plan. One of my own insights on the patterns comes from cognitive neuroscience. I spend much of my research time these days reading and following scientists in this fast-growing field. It's obvious to me that our patterns are effective because they rest on these research findings. In other words, the patterns use the hardwiring of our brains to influence and encourage change.
In both organizational and personal change, you need to understand your motives as the potential change agent or Evangelist (a pattern from Fearless Change). Why are you interested in the topic? What costs and benefits will working on that change bring to your life? What is possible for you, given your talents and time? The intriguing—yet somewhat discouraging—message from neuroscience is how difficult it is to understand our own motives. For nearly two-and-a-half thousand years, starting with Socrates, we have been exhorted, "Know thyself." The ancient Greek philosophers would be sorely disappointed to learn that simply listening to the voices in our heads about how great we are is not the way to develop a clear understanding of who we are, nor is listening to those who are close to us saying we can do anything if we set our minds to it.
But research has uncovered something that can help us. The process, called self-affirmation, essentially means taking time to reflect and then write (on paper, with pen or pencil) a short essay about your core personal values. For example, you can write about family or religion or character traits you value in yourself, like humor and kindness. This exercise helps you to see yourself a bit more clearly. Then you need to assess whether you have an abiding interest in the potential change, as well as the determination to move forward. When people say, "I don't have time for that kind of exercise," I wonder whether they have a realistic understanding of how much time and energy they'll need to take on the role of change agent. | 2019-04-23T15:16:46 | http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=2316929 | [

The etiology of human aggressive behavior has not been elucidated. In clinical practice, the definition of aggressive behavior is as follows: attack to property, others, or oneself with the deliberate intention of destruction. Organic psychosis, schizophrenia, mental retardation, emotional disorders, and personality disorders can be associated with aggressive behavior, and most frequently occur in the acute phase of mental illness (Campbell et al. in Psychiatr Clin North Am 15(1):69–85 1992). In 1990, a regional epidemiological investigation for violent psychosis in the United States showed that the incidence of aggressive behavior in patients with psychiatric disorders was five times that of normal people. Moreover, 50 % of the patients with psychiatric disorders and 10 % of patients with schizophrenia have histories of making threats, agitation, and aggressive behavior (Sramka et al in Bratisl Lek Listty 93(7):365–366, 1992). This aggressive behavior causes serious threat to the safety of medical staff, the whole society, and even to patients themselves. | 2019-04-21T12:40:31 | https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-94-017-9576-0_17 | [

So excited about the 15 second Bestial Wrath!
Hunters definitely need more buffs, because they are still not oneshotin' everyone!
Retribution Paladin got a buff? I am suspicious!
The two specs that needed a buff (especially Survival) got one. Marksmanship has been left untouched.
It's especially nice considering BM has needed it for a while. Bestial Wrath was initially nerfed for PvP reasons, but since all of the other parts that made it strong in PvP were eventually removed (CC immunity and removal), it only makes sense to consider increasing the duration again.
I'm jazzed on those Lock\/BM buffs.
Finally! I will feel more useful as BM hunter in this patch. Also, with the new tier it 'll be a nice damage boost!
so much hate against demo locks. since the 25% nerf to absolute everything, now I see those affli and destro buffs and I feel like I'm being kicked in the face while I'm laying in the floor. thanks for so much love Ion, you freaking #$%&\/. I want to throw up in rage when I though that his family eats with my money.
Where's the demonology love? can they at least buff it slightly? | 2019-04-23T15:06:42 | https://ru.wowhead.com/news=248385/patch-6-2-hotfixes-and-class-tuning-changes-week-of-july-20-24 | [

The South Fork of the American River is everyone’s favorite California river! As the river flows through the heart of Gold Country, it includes rapids which are challenging yet not extreme. There is plenty of time for you and your rafting companions to indulge in family or group bonding, playful joke telling, and spirited water fighting. In-between the rapids, there’s always a little time for a refreshing swim in the cool, clear water.
The South Fork’s long season and its close proximity to Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite and the San Francisco Bay Area make this an extremely accessible river trip. The Chili Bar half-day trip is named after a population of Chileans who settled on the South Fork of the American during the California Gold Rush; the trip is short and sweet, with plenty of adventure for both novice and experienced rafters!
The South Fork’s exciting Class III whitewater is near-perfect fun for the whole family! The water on the South Fork is released during summer months from hydroelectric facilities located upstream. Such water releases are not subject to the control of El Dorado County or commercial rafting companies.
To increase your safety, we expect everyone to watch our 23-minute Whitewater Orientation video before joining us. Watch at www.oars.com/experience/safety/ or call 800-346-6277 to request a free DVD. Please don’t leave home without watching.
We meet near our camp store at the OARS American River Outpost at 9:00 AM. Roads around here are winding, so please be sure to allow for plenty of travel time. Our river-side campground and base of operations is in the heart of the twin towns of Lotus and Coloma. Our peaceful hideaway is surrounded by plenty of history, recreational opportunities and cultural activities.
Once everyone has arrived, the guides will deliver an orientation and safety talk and fit you with your safety gear. We will then take a 25-minute shuttle ride to the Chili Bar put-in point, where your boats and the rest of your OARS crew await. After practicing your paddle strokes with your guide, we will head downriver to the infamous rapid named Meatgrinder!
Beautiful river scenes stretch out around us with redtail hawks soaring overhead and the occasional river otter swimming near shore. Exciting rapids like Racehorse Bend, Maya and Triple Threat await us on this enjoyable run! After a short section of class I-II whitewater, we find ourselves at the notorious “Troublemaker” rapid. This solid, class III rapid packs an exhilarating ride. Be sure to smile as we make our way through this rapid as there are often onlookers watching from the shore.
After floating by the historic town of Coloma and the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, where gold was originally discovered in 1848, your trip begins to wind down—but not without a few more stories from your personable and knowledgeable guide. Once we return to the campground, we encourage you to stick around awhile: explore our nature trails, play campground games or just savor your time along the river.
We’ll meet you near our camp store at 9:00 AM at the OARS American River Outpost, located at 7330 River Park Drive, behind Hotshot Imaging’s store in Lotus. Click here for a Google Map.
From Sacramento on U.S. Hwy 50: Follow Hwy 50 east toward Placerville and South Lake Tahoe. Take the Ponderosa Road exit (Exit #37), turn left onto Ponderosa/S. Shingle Road and cross over the freeway. At the second stop light, take the right turn on N. Shingle Rd toward Coloma/Lotus.
After about 4.5 miles N. Shingle Road turns into Lotus Road—continue going straight for about 6 more miles. As you approach Lotus, pass through the town’s first stop sign and continue to the 3-way stop sign intersection with Hwy 49. Turn left onto Hwy 49 (north) and cross the bridge over the South Fork of the American. Immediately after crossing the river, you will see the “River Park” shopping center on the left, with signs for Hotshot Imaging. Please use the center’s second entrance, where a left-turn lane is provided at River Park Drive. Look to the back of the center, where you will see the entrance to our American River Outpost.
From South Lake Tahoe: Take Hwy 50 west to Placerville. Turn right on Hwy 49 (north) and follow the directions from Placerville listed below.
From Placerville: Proceed north on winding Hwy 49 for about 9.5 miles (about 20—25 minutes) through the town of Coloma. Just past Coloma and the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, cross the bridge over the South Fork of the American. Right after crossing the river, you will see the “River Park” shopping center on the left, with signs for Hotshot Imaging. Please use the center’s second entrance, where a left-turn lane is provided at River Park Drive. Look to the back of the center, where you will see the entrance to our campground.
From Reno/North Lake Tahoe: Take Interstate 80 west to Auburn. Take Hwy 49 south from Auburn for about 17 miles (about 30 minutes), arriving in the Coloma/Lotus area. After passing through Lotus’ 3-way stop sign (intersection with Marshall Grade Road), continue past the gas station and look for us behind the “River Park” shopping center on the right. Before Hotshot Imaging’s building, turn right onto River Park Drive and look for the entrance to our campground in the back of the retail center.
The closest major airport is in Sacramento (SMF), which is served by most major airlines and car rental companies. Oakland (OAK), San Francisco (SFO) and Reno (RNO) are within a 3-hour drive.
One night of FREE camping before or after your trip is available at the OARS American River Outpost in Lotus for everyone who goes rafting with us; additional nights of camping and all nights of camping for non-rafters are $10 per person/night. Advance reservations are required. Please ask an Adventure Consultant about the details of staying at our beautiful riverside camp or click here.
We recommend you make reservations well in advance in order to guarantee lodging.
You may want to check one week prior to your trip for an up-to-date weather forecast. We recommend you check the following web sites for weather in Coloma, CA: www.weather.com or www.accuweather.com.
Ability to remain seated and balanced while in a whitewater craft while holding on with at least one hand.
Wear a Type V Coast Guard-approved personal floatation device (maximum chest size of 56 inches). Wearing leg straps may be required to ensure proper fit. Where required, properly wear a helmet.
Ability to independently board and disembark a boat four to ten times each day. This may require stepping into the boat, and then maneuvering your body over and across tubes and fixed objects into a seated position.
Ability to independently navigate shoreline terrain, including safely maneuvering around and across boulders, rocks, and slippery and uneven surfaces, under low branches, and around vegetation. This includes the ability to maintain your balance near precipitous ledges or cliffs.
Ability to independently swim in whitewater or swift currents while wearing a PFD. This includes being an active participant in your own rescue, including having the ability to (a) keep your airway passages sealed while underwater, and regain control of your breathing when being submitted to repeated submersion under waves or currents; (b) orient yourself to new “in-river” surroundings; (c) reposition yourself in the water to different swimming positions; (d) swim aggressively to a boat or to shore in whitewater; (e) receive a rescue rope, paddle, or human assistance, and possibly let go of the same; (f) get out from under an overturned boat.
Ability to swim 100 yards in flat water while wearing a PFD.
Ability to assist another passenger who has fallen out of the boat by pulling them back in.
It is very important that each trip participant take an active role in their own safety. You will likely encounter wilderness conditions that you are unfamiliar with, and those conditions may change rapidly. It is critical to pay attention at all times, to be aware of your surroundings, and to avoid taking unnecessary risks. Even a non-life threatening injury in a wilderness setting can become a major emergency for you, and can endanger the entire group. Swimming alone or hiking alone is discouraged. Excessive alcohol consumption or illicit drug use is not tolerated. Using common sense, and following both the explicit instruction and the lead of your guides can go a long way towards keeping yourself and the group safe. Some obvious things to avoid in camp and on shore (by way of example) are: walking around without shoes in camp, approaching wild animals, not paying attention to what is above or around your tent site that could harm you, not paying attention to hazards such as poison ivy and rattlesnakes, and walking near precipitous ledges.
The best choice is an amphibious shoe that drains water, protects your toes and won’t come off in swirling current. A retired pair of athletic shoes can work well, too. Sport sandals with a heel strap are a good option. Find professional-grade options made by Chaco®, the official footwear sponsor of OARS guides.
We recommend starting with bathing suit/swim trunks and a lightweight synthetic shirt, and then adding layers of synthetic long underwear and fleece as needed.
Protecting yourself from the sun should be taken very seriously! A hat, sunscreen, lip balm and sunglasses are a must. In many cases, a long-sleeve shirt is the best method for preventing sunburn on your upper body. Light-weight long pants may also be appropriate to protect your legs.
ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR CHANGING WEATHER! Especially during the months of April, May and early June, California can experience extreme changes in weather.
Wearing cotton items on a river trip is only appropriate when the weather is hot. Wet cotton will chill your body temperature.
Provided (early-season) wetsuits do not include “wetsuit booties” – please bring your own, or wear wool socks with tennis shoes as a good alternative.
Please let us know if you have any medical issues we will need to consider in planning your trip.
No dogs are allowed at the OARS American River Outpost.
You may want to bring a small waterproof bag to hold your camera and other items you might need during the day. While most rafting-specific bags are designed to be waterproof, you may also wish to place your camera in a durable, waterproof casing for additional protection. Disposable waterproof and panorama cameras are also a fun option.
There are several professional companies taking photos of each raft at some of the South Fork’s larger rapids, which provide great action shots. These companies are not affiliated with OARS and you will need to contact them separately to purchase these pictures. Hotshot Imaging is conveniently based in Lotus right next door to our campground; visit them after your South Fork of the American trip at their storefront on Hwy 49 to order pictures. (To order your photos online, you must request the photo link for your trip from Hotshot Imaging.) For more information, visit http://www.hotshotimaging.com/ or call (530) 621-0400.
Each participant will need to complete the required trip forms online and submit them no later than 30 days prior to your trip, or immediately if booking within 30 days.
Final and full payment is due at the time of booking.
We advise that you leave your valuables at home or in your private vehicle and take on the river only what’s absolutely necessary. We also recommend you leave dry shoes and clothing in your car to ensure a comfortable drive home.
Tipping is optional, but appreciated by our staff. If you are wondering how much to tip, you may consider that we operate in a service industry with a host of behind-the-scenes contributors in addition to the guides on your trip. In general, we suggest a gratuity based on 10 – 15% of the trip cost. It is customary on OARS trips for gratuities to be given to the Trip Leader in the form of cash or personal check, who will then distribute appropriately amongst all the guides and support staff.
In reviewing your statement, you’ll notice a $1/person/day donation to the American River Conservancy, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the Forks of the American River. One-hundred percent of your tax-deductible donation goes toward conserving the American Rivers watershed. This donation is voluntary and may be removed from your invoice if you choose not to participate.
Full payment is required at the time of booking. Payments may be made by check, money order or Visa/Mastercard (American Express and Discover incur a 3% processing fee). Receipt of the payment signifies acceptance of our complete Terms and Conditions. Individual departures and trip capacity are strictly limited by the managing agency. Cancelling your trip will incur cancellation fees because holding spots for you means we are likely turning others away who would like to book the trip.
If you find it necessary to cancel your trip, please notify us as soon as possible. We do not make exceptions to the cancellation policy for any reason, including weather, wildfire, terrorism, civil unrest or personal emergencies. There is no refund for arriving late or leaving a trip early.
29 to 3 days prior Payment can be transferred to another trip (within the same year) for $15/person transfer fee. No refund.
Please note that different deposit/cancellation policies may apply for charter groups. Refer to the group organizer’s confirmation e-mail for details.
Under most circumstances, if you are of an adventurous spirit and in reasonably good health, you should have no problem enjoying an OARS trip. People with medical conditions, including pregnancy, should have a physician’s approval before taking an adventure travel trip.
Everyone is required to sign a standard liability release form before the trip, acknowledging awareness that there are inherent risks associated with the trip. Due to the nature of the activities, a condition of your participation is that you will sign this form and return it to our office before the trip begins. Anyone who refuses to sign the form will not be allowed to participate, and consistent with OARS cancellation policy, there will be no refund of the trip fees at that time.
O.A.R.S. West, Inc. and cooperating agencies act only in the capacity of agent for the participants in all matters relating to transportation and/or all other related travel services, and assume no responsibility however caused for injury, loss or damage to person or property in connection with any service, including but not limited to that resulting directly or indirectly from acts of God, detention, annoyance, delays and expenses arising from quarantine, strikes, theft, pilferage, force majeure, failure of any means of conveyance to arrive or depart as scheduled, civil disturbances, government restrictions or regulations, and discrepancies or change in transit over which it has no control. Reasonable changes in itinerary may be made where deemed advisable for the comfort and well being of the participants, including cancellation due to water fluctuation, insufficient bookings (this trip requires a minimum of 4 guests), and other factors. There is risk in whitewater rafting, particularly during high-water conditions. Rafts and kayaks can capsize. You could be swept overboard. Your guide will make every attempt to assist, but you must be strong and agile enough to “self-help” and “float-it-out” without further endangering yourself or others. We reserve the right not to accept passengers weighing more than 260 pounds or with a waist/chest size exceeding 56 inches. We may decide, at any time, to exclude any person or group for any reason we feel is related to the safety of our trips. We are experienced at accommodating people with various disabilities. Please give us an opportunity to make you feel welcome. We need to discuss any special requirements ahead of time. On advancement of deposit the depositor agrees to be bound by the above recited terms and conditions. Prices subject to change without notice. | 2019-04-21T00:14:30 | https://www.oars.com/before-you-go/south-fork-american-river-chili-bar-half-day/ | [

Feverfew's mechanism of action may be inhibiting the release of serotonin and prostaglandins, both of which act upon blood vessels in the head. The active ingredients in feverfew include parthenolide and tanetin; Best results are seen with standardized extracts of feverfew versus non-extracted preparations.
Use as directed. Note: Feverfew is not a treatment for acute migraine attacks.

Kid Hit Menu Items: Thankfully, just about everything. Especially since during the drive over to Din Tai Fung in Arcadia, the toddler’s demands for French fries were getting tiresome. And a little bit worrisome, given that we were already “pot committed” — as one would say in poker parlance — to the DTF plan. Well, nary a peep about FFs was uttered once the steamers arrived containing the famous Juicy Pork Dumplings that weep with deliciousness. Eggy fluffy fried rice with slabs of chicken was also excitedly devoured, along with sweet, nutty string beans. Bowls of sesame noodles, which contain endless, messy slurping fun, are a good hearty counterpoint to the delicate dumplings — that’s if nut allergies aren’t an issue since they have peanuts.
Adult Perks: DTF is an alcohol free zone. But we never give any thought to this prohibition, at all. We’re too busy ordering as much as we can possibly eat to notice or care.
Pros: Incredible Shanghai style soup dumplings that attract massive crowds. Service is fast and efficient once you’ve been seated. It’s a well-oiled machine, that Din Tai Fung. They’ll give you a nice kid/baby place setting with a paper cup and plastic utensils; the baby used them as toys rather than eating implements.
Cons: See above. The quality + popularity = long waits. If you’re chronically behind schedule like we are, then plan peak dinner times VERY carefully. Arriving at say, 6:30 on a Sunday isn’t ideal, unless you want to spend a total of three hours for a meal during which sitting and eating inside the restaurant accounts for maybe 45 minutes. There’s also a second location nearby, but we stick to the O.G.
Changing Station: No, but an amazingly clean bathroom which, if the janitorial log is to believed, gets checked about every 15 minutes.
At least there are some ridiculously entertaining ways to pass those long wait times.
Parking and Access: Busy strip mall, but there are always spaces. Chances are someone in your party will have to hop out to grab your number and get on the list anyway, so that gives you time to circle around. Def not easy stroller navigation territory once inside.
Other Tidbits: My first visit to DTF was when I was super preggo with #1. The wait was tough, but man, just talk to anyone who’s been, and you’ll hear endless praise about the transcendent soup dumpling experience. Now the waiting is still the hardest part, especially with kids. But if you get it together early it’s do-able. Or as we discovered this week, the strip mall has plenty of diversions to pass the waiting time (an hour this past Sunday). The random shop next door has a bunch of those hook-your-prize arcade machine thingies, including one with a Louis Vuitton tote, proof of authenticity certificate and receipt included. Adjacent bakeries and other food businesses can help out in a pinch, too.
So when I heard these words, my heart leapt and I felt a crazy parenting high: “I want the last soup dumpling!” The lapse in manners notwithstanding, we could not have been more thrilled. Next time we’ll get an extra order, and arrive by 5.
Actually, skip the original Arcadia location and go to the relatively newer one next door instead.
Extra suggestion: Alternately, dumplings can be ordered FROZEN six hours in advance, and steamed at home. Our friends have organized groups of us — many of whom have kids — to pitch in on a massive to-go order from DTF. Henry and I once brought a case of sodas and beer from the beloved Galco’s to go with. Behold the spread (at right). The steaming requires a little work, but so worth it to enjoy the wonders that are Shanghai soup dumplings in the comfort of your own home.
Hours: Monday – Friday, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., 5 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. – 9:30 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Next post: Hold the knuckle from that sandwich, please! | 2019-04-20T03:10:53 | http://tastertotsla.com/2010/09/21/din-tai-fung-dumplings-arcadia/ | [

The scene should have been chaotic, but it wasn’t. The only adrenaline pumping was that of the first responding law enforcement officers. The three arrived to the moonlit S-curve, following a 9-1-1 call reporting the sighting of dim tail lights off the road. A disturbed snowbank was the only indication of an accident. Five yards from the road’s edge, was a thick tree line of the Manistee National Forest. Another five yards, into that, was a hint of red square lights, faintly detectable under a dusting of fresh snow.
Sergeant Barager was the shift supervisor and the senior responding officer. He’s arrived to too many scenes like this one in the snowy winters of Northern Michigan. To him, this was becoming routine. He flapped open the female’s fleece shirt and tore the tee shirt that was beneath, while Officer Rivers, kept on with the breathing and compressions.
“What the hell?” Barager grumbled in an exhale, looking down at the woman’s chest.
“Is she banged up pretty bad?” Douglass asked overhearing Barager, and dropping to his knees on top of a mound of snow with the defibrillator spraying some of the white powder as it landed beside him.

A unique and very English novel composed of a cycle of beautiful and mysterious fantasy folk tales which combine to tell an unforgettable storyNOMINATED FOR THE CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL'A rich, primordial dreamtime... A wonderful excavation of the story traditions that our ancestors huddled around for warmth... highly recommended'Alan Moore, author of WatchmenThis is a book like no other: a magical tapestry of folk tales, woven together to build a world that is as strange yet familiar as a half-remembered dream. It is an old world, a world of enchanted corn dollies and wild dances in poppy fields, a world of tricksters, lovers and fools.Through this world, Greychild must journey in search of his mother: from the village of Brunt Boggart, down to the treacherous Pedlar Man's track, all the way to the distant Arleccra, a city of treasures and temptation. If you follow him, a part of you will never come back.David Greygoose was born near Northampton and now lives on the edge of Liverpool. In 1976 he co-founded The Windows Project which runs writing workshops in schools and community venues. He has published three collections of poetry under the name Dave Ward, and his stories and poems have appeared in over 100 anthologies as well as being broadcast on TV and radio. Brunt Boggart is his first novel and was nominated for the CILIP Carnegie Medal. | 2019-04-26T14:23:42 | https://www.wavesound.com.au/title-details/9781782692102 | [

Howard said he had a '5 point plan' for the show after his Sirius XM contract expires in December: "I know what the future is." Howard explained: "One of the points is if we decide to stay here...again, if we decide to stay here." The other 4 points are the other 4 options--one of which (retirement) has already been taken off the table, but until then: "For four months I'm a company man." | 2019-04-20T16:43:41 | https://www.howardstern.com/show/2010/9/2/howards-5-point-plan-RundownGalleryModel-3521/ | [

The PASEP (Partially Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process) is a probabilistic model of moving particles, which is of great interest in combinatorics, since it appeared that its partition function counts some tableaux. These tableaux have several variants such as permutations tableaux, alternative tableaux, tree- like tableaux, Dyck tableaux, etc. We introduce in this context certain excursions in Young's lattice, that we call stammering tableaux (by analogy with oscillating tableaux, vacillating tableaux, hesitating tableaux). Some natural bijections make a link with rook placements in a double staircase, chains of Dyck paths obtained by successive addition of ribbons, Laguerre histories, Dyck tableaux, etc.

$100 on lawn maintenance every month?
We are spending $100 on lawn maintenance. Cutting and fertilizing. I know I can save $50 by mowing my own lawn. What should I do about the fertilizing part?
Can we do this ourselves? I know there is a lot if chemicals involved is it worth it? Any suggestion from DIYers out there?
I don't use any chemicals on my lawn. Of course, it's not golf course-quality, but it's a lawn. I use corn gluten meal and I plan to aerate in the fall. If you want a nicer lawn and want to be a little more diligent about it, get this book: http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Lawn-Care-Manual-Low-Maintenance/dp/1580176496/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1336016190&sr=8-2 He has a good month-by-month guide to lawn care. It certainly should cost less than $50 a month most months. Also, it's kind of comforting to know you hire someone to mow the lawn. I often wonder how people like you get it all done in the same 24-hour day that I live. You seem to have a lot of projects and jobs going all the time.
Hi Steve, Thanks for responding. I'd love to spend less than 100 on the lawn but need to make sure HOA doesn't come after me. Another thing I learnt is to focus on the most important things in life. I'd rather spend an hour with my girls than mow the lawn. I am hanging in there Steve, it's been quite a challenge but I keep the focus. I'll check out the book for sure. Thanks for the link.
Yamini, I just got sprecticide that you hook up to a hose and will killl 250 kinds of weeds and covers 5000 sq. ft. Cost, inculding water - under $11.00. Guaranteed to last 6 months. I just used it, and will let you know results. Maybe you can use something like that and just have them mow. It could save you a little money, while still having time with your girls.
Terri, Thanks so much for the suggestion. What is this product called. I'd like to try it for sure. It will not only save me time but also money. Yay I love that!!!
Yamini, check out Walter Reeves' website for compreheisive advice on products and timing for various types of lawns. I follow his suggestions religiously. Have tried lawn services in the past for the fertilizer/weed control, but have much better success doing it ourselves.
Yay! that gives me hope. Yes I will start following Walter and his advice on lawns.
Yamini, I mispelled it - Spectricide Weed Killler - got it at Lowes and am noticity alot of weeds starting to die this afternoon.
Yanini, a few days filled w/ lots of rain has gone by. Dandilions and many other weeds have died. No sign of new one's growing. However, there is one pest that doesn't appear to be dying yet. I was told to give it a couple of weeks to really hit the root system. If it doesn't die, then I am taking it to Lowe's with me. Over all, I would say a 90% success rate so far.
My DH says no fertilizer no mow so we fertilize spring and fall and mow 3 inches high about once a week but not as much July and August. We also never water our lawn either.
If it were me, I would plant flowers, especially natives that take care of themsleves. Personally, I find nothing but green grass boring, no texture, color. But that is me. I like my bees, butterflies darting about the yard. | 2019-04-20T19:26:26 | https://www.hometalk.com/163809/q-100-on-lawn-maintenance-every-month | [

It appears so. It took Will Scott 8,000 prototypes, but I think he’s onto something with his ergonomically-designed box that is the most HIPAA and FACTA compliant box in the world.

Capt. Jack Campbell assisting with a client’s fly-caught trophy.
As we make our way to the boat ramp, the smell of the salt air and the sound of the pounding surf on the beach give me hope that we may be able to catch a glimpse of the elusive tarpon, known as the Silver King. Our target area for the survey is Cayo del Grullo, a small bay at the extreme western end of Baffin Bay. We arrive at the site and pick our nets finding a good count of black drum, red drum, hardhead catfish, gizzard shad and spotted seatrout. This is what makes these waters of the upper Laguna Madre famous. As we near the end of the last net of the morning, we spy the uncatchablea tarpon! It is always an awesome sight to see such a magnificent creature close up, because these fish are not as abundant and are not seen as often as they were many decades ago.
In the 1890s, tarpon were so plentiful that the city of Port Aransas, TX and a hotel that is still in operation, were named after the fish. Tarpon are sought by most anglers because of their acrobatic moves and fighting abilities. Be aware that the odds of bagging one are eight hook-ups per one landing, and that the current bag limit for the tarpon is one fish per day with a minimum size limit of 85 inches.
Tarpon range from Nova Scotia to the northern part of South America and can also be found off the coast of West Africa. Tarpon are unique in that they are obligate air breathers, and if they are not allowed to access the surface, they will die. The uptake of oxygen that occurs is done at the surface through a rolling motion that is commonly associated with tarpon sightings. Although tarpon can be found seasonally along the Texas coast, they are most abundant in more tropical areas. Adult tarpon can grow to about 8 feet long and weigh up to 280 lbs.
Although we have not seen many tarpon reach the above weight and length, we have had some state records that indicate it is possible. The current state record was set by Jeremy Ebert from Deer Park, TX. Ebert caught his tarpon while fishing at a Galveston pier on October 4, 2006. While fishing for bull reds and using menhaden for bait, he caught the 210.7 lbs tarpon measuring 91 inches long. The previous state record was set in 1973 by Tom Gibson who caught a tarpon weighing 210 lbs measuring 86.25 inches.
Although not a state record, local bait stand owner, Cosme Cavazos, not only caught one, but two monster tarpon in Copano Bay within a months time while fishing for alligator gar. Cosme is the owner of the Cosway bait stand located on the John F. Kennedy Causeway on the right as you travel towards North Padre Island. If you ever get the chance, stop and take a glimpse of the first tarpon he caught which is hanging on the wall of his bait stand.
The story goes that one night back on July 17 1990, Cosme and his wife Diana were fishing in Copano Bay looking for alligator gar when he hooked something big. He could not tell exactly what had taken his line other than the fact that it was large enough to pull his boat around the bay.
According to Cosme, the big fish pulled his boat for about four miles all the while making lunging swift motions towards the darkness of night. On one occasion when Cosme was able to shine the spot light, all he could see was red reflections off the creatures eye. He fought it for three hours until the fish tired out. After Cosme brought in the fish, they searched for a scale large enough to it. Cosme could only find a 185-lb scale to weigh the fish which pegged out the scale. Cosme then left the fish hanging in a garage until the next day and found a larger scale. The tarpon tipped the scale at 240 lbs and measured 95.5 inches long.
One month later, Cosme landed a second large tarpon in Copano Bay near Rattlesnake Point. This fish was not as big as the first, but did weigh 163 lbs and measured 86 inches long. What an amazing fish story!
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Coastal Fisheries Division has monitored and collected tarpon data since 1975. Figure1 shows the number of tarpon caught by bay system along the Texas coast showing an increase in the number of sub-adult tarpon catches as you go south.
There is a missing link as to the number of observations for juvenile tarpon that is needed in order to better assess tarpon use of Texas waters. In order to establish a better assessment of the population, we need to know the when, where and what kind of environmental conditions these juvenile tarpon are found. This will help biologists recommend ways to protect the tarpon and their habitat. One way for anglers to help is by participating in the Tarpon Observation Network (TON) program. Visit http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/tarpon to log in any tarpon observations. In appreciation you will receive a TON poster.
On a positive note, TPWD data indicates a long, slow upward trend in sub-adult abundance in recent years (Figure 2). Two of the best catches ever have occurred within the past three years. While nothing is definitive with tarpon, we hope this recent trend will continue to improve, giving future generations the same opportunities that Gibson, Ebert and Cavazos had of catching 7-foot tarpon.
Capt. Jack Campbell of Skinny Water Fly Fishing Guide Service (Seadrift-Port OConnor, TX area) agrees that tarpon sightings along the Gulf beach and in his home bays of San Antonio, Espiritu Santo and Matagorda have become more numerous over the past several years. So far this season, nearly forty tarpon have been jumped on Jacks boat and fourteen have been landed.
Incredibly plentiful during migrations between the Bay of Campeche and all along the Texas coast in the 1930s through the 50s, tarpon in Texas bays grew increasingly scarce until just recently. And so it goes with more tarpon frequenting our bays anglers are seeing more and occasionally landing one.
Tarpon are strong fighters; famous for twisting leaps, and quite often the fish is near total exhaustion before it can be landed. Capt. Jack offers some tips on handling and accomplishing a healthy release for anglers lucky enough to bring one of these highly-prized gamefish to the boat.
-Time is of the essence and holding the fish in the water during unhooking and photographing are the best assurance that it will survive capture.
-Landings are fairly rare unless specifically targeted with appropriate tackle and nobody can argue that a grinning angler posing with his catch makes a superb trophy. However; bringing the silver king aboard diminishes the chances for a successful release. Thrashing and general banging on deck can cause injury (to fish and angler) and greatly increases the time the fish will be out of water.
-Grasping by the lower jaw to control the fish alongside the boat for length-girth measurement and photos is a far kinder and gentler treatment. Plucking a scale is about all conservation-minded anglers will do nowadays.
-With a set of photos and measurements, your local taxidermist can create a fiberglass replica for the bragging wall.
-TPWD allows a daily bag limit of only one trophy fish at 85 inches minimum length and, if Lady Luck should smile, please return the kindness by practicing good conservation. | 2019-04-21T12:07:49 | https://www.texassaltwaterfishingmagazine.com/fishing/education/texas-parks-wildlife-field-notes/missing-tarpon-link | [

'Fire Emblem', 'Zelda' and much, much more.
It's mid-afternoon on a Wednesday for most of our readers, which is an odd time indeed for a press conference. But here we are and lucky for you, Engadget is a 24-hour news operation. Nintendo is moments away from hosting a livestream, where it has said it will reveal details about upcoming Switch games, namely Fire Emblem: Three Houses, currently due sometime this spring. [Ed. note: At least one Engadget staffer has threatened to take a week's leave from work if this is not the case.] We've embedded the livestream above, and the event is expected to last 35 minutes, according to Nintendo's terse promo. Join us, won't you? | 2019-04-19T04:27:39 | https://www.engadget.com/2019/02/13/nintendo-direct-fire-emblem-three-houses/ | [

I usually ignore people who take cheap shots in order to make themselves look intelligent. However, Ruben Navarrete’s column titled, “If I offended demanding DREAMers, I'm not sorry” crossed the line. My gut reaction was who gives a dump? But I guess I do.
I have known Ruben for those two decades, and my impression is that he is always trying to impress you. The first words that came out of his mouth when we first met were that he had graduated from Harvard as if that somehow qualified him as an expert.
At 25 Ruben wrote an autobiography A Darker A Shade of Crimson. It was about telling us he was from Harvard.
The Amazon promo says that Navarette spent “his turbulent years as a Mexican-American undergraduate at one of the nation's most prestigious universities.” According the piece, the autobiography was Navarrette’s “declaration of independence, spurning the labels `people of color' (offensive) and ‘Hispanic’ (too general), preferring ‘minority’ and ‘Latino.’” (Four years before that he had been a Chicano).
In A Darker A Shade of Crimson, Ruben brags how he confronted bigotry. Ruben pulled himself up by his own bootstraps. Ruben was a self-made boy, got straight A's, a valedictorian, and his efforts alone got him into Harvard. Affirmative action and the sacrifices of others had nothing to do with it.
I could not believe that this was the same chubby kid that I met a couple of years before who tried to impress me with how Chicano he was – high fives and all. Ruben was Mr. Aztlán.
The tone of Navarette’s article offended my sense of history, and no one should mess with Chicana/o history.
I know that I am getting old. And my memory is not what it used to be. However, I remember witnessing firsthand students, educators and organizations pressuring Ivy League universities to admit highly qualified minorities. Even Michelle Obama, an excellent student, was reputed to have taken part in a sit-in at Harvard in 1988.
However, Ruben thinks he is exceptional, and the sacrifices of others had nothing to do with his admission. He was a boy genius from Sanger, California.
Perhaps at one time Ruben could be forgiven for his historical myopia. He was once a young man who wanted to make it. He had a dream of being someone. Of being called Mr. Harvard. But last month he completely blew any credibility he once had.
Some might call this a cheap shot.
This man who says he has written “more than 2,000 columns over the last 20 years,” offers no solution while playing to the xenophobes. Indeed, other than he went to Harvard, what has he accomplished?
Most recent research shows that people deprived of entering the dream phase of sleep “exhibit symptoms of irritability and anxiety.” Their brains stop growing. This is what has apparently happened to Ruben.
The response to Dr. King was not all positive. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) expanded their COINTELPRO operation against the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and targeted King specifically as a public enemy of the United States. Some accused Dr. King of provoking enmity between the races.
Dr. King was scolded in the press. Called a troublemaker, and certainly his civility was questioned. In the end, history has judged him as it will the Dreamers.
As I have often pointed out when I arrived at San Fernando Valley State College, there were barely fifty students of Mexican origin at the college. Students opened it up by demanding and often being discourteous. They were the children of “the hardworking and humble folks who cut your lawn, clean your house or care for your kids.” They dreamt of a better life, of escaping low paying jobs much the same as Navarette escaped Sanger.
Like Dr. King the Dreamers have led a nonviolent struggle and practiced civil disobedience to bring attention to the injustices in our society. For the information of Ruben Navarette, civil disobedience is an American tradition dating back to the Boston Tea Party and the abolitionist movement. Today’s Dreamers follow in the footsteps of other American Dreamers, which is probably hard for Navarette, suffering from intellectual insomnia, to fathom.
Aside from the equitable argument that the Dreamers are entitled to a path to citizenship because they came to the United States through no fault of their own – most were minors when brought here by their parents—there are more compelling reasons. In spite of living in poor neighborhoods and often attending decaying schools, they have displayed considerable initiative and perseverance in pursuing their education and being good citizens in their community.
I argue that they came to the United States not through their own fault but because the United States has not been the best of neighbors.
Mexico has a population of 115 million people. Most of Mexican immigrants migrated to the United States because of economic reasons. The North American Free Trade Agreement has been a disaster to the small subsistence farmer driving millions off their farms. Relatively little technical aid has been given to Mexico to help build its infrastructure whereas the United States is pumping in hundreds of millions of dollars to induce the Mexican government to purse a failed War on Drugs that has devastated the country.
In the case of the Dreamers from Central America, the U.S. wrecked the economy of those countries and spent billions tearing them up. Lately, the U.S. has been exporting made in the U.S. gang members to El Salvador.
One might say the migration of the Dreamers was in most cases induced.
This debate could go on forever. But for Navarette’s information, the actions of the Dreamers that Navarette objects to are the ones that got him into Harvard. The Dreamers never would have gotten this far if they had relied on the Ruben Navarettes. Most of them have worked hard, gotten good grades and not gotten swallowed up in the apathy that often paralyzes the poor. They dare to dream, and refuse to take less by just existing. Perhaps Ruben should re-read A Darker Shade of Crimson and remember how it was to dream.
WASHINGTON -- La Secretaria del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, Janet Napolitano, anunció este miércoles la publicación de una regla final en el Registro Federal que, en ciertas circunstancias, reduce el tiempo que los ciudadanos permanecen separados de sus familiares inmediatos (cónyuges, hijos y padres) cuando están en el proceso de obtener visas para convertirse en residentes permanentes legales de los Estados Unidos.
YONKERS, New York -- MyFitnessPal, una aplicación gratuita para Smartphone y con un sitio web, recibió uno de los puntajes más altos de satisfacción en las nuevas Calificaciones de dietas de Consumer Reports publicadas en la edición de febrero de la revista y en línea en www.ConsumerReports.org.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - No sé ustedes, pero yo no veo la hora en que el 2012 sea historia. Fueron muchas las pruebas a nivel personal y colectivo, y aunque nada garantiza que el 2013 vaya a ser mejor, cuando menos la idea de un nuevo comienzo da esperanzas de que algunas conductas puedan enmendarse, de que otras cosas puedan mejorarse, y que lo que quedó pendiente pueda concretarse. | 2019-04-21T02:27:52 | https://hoydallas.blogspot.com/2012_12_30_archive.html | [

Did I mention that I like big cases? Well, I do. I also like the Aspire X-QPACK. It looks good without sacrificing functionality. It’s compact, yet offers room for two 5.25 inch drives, two hard drives and a floppy. It’s lightweight, but still quite sturdy. The carry handle makes for easy portability and the cooling is surprisingly good. With three windows, LED fans, LCD temperature display, a 420W power supply with a dynamite finish and sleeved cables, and five color choices it also gets big points as a pre-modded case. In fact, the X-QPACK really challenges the modder to mod the components inside the case, as so much of the interior is visible. | 2019-04-22T23:59:47 | http://www.madshrimps.be/vbulletin/f22/aspire-x-qpack-al-420-black-silver-aluminum-case-14708/ | [

Mission Statement : PROJECT FUKUSHIMA!
From FUKUSHIMA, the future is in our hands.
Even as the crisis takes away homes, we would like to have Fukushima retain ties with the outside world, in order for Fukushima to hold onto hope for life, and to think of a future for Fukushima. That is why we need this festival.We need a forum for people to come together and communicate. Through this festival, we will share with the world what Fukushima is going through now, and what it will be in the future. We are determined to change FUKUSHIMA! into a positive word.
The flag of Project FUKUSHIMA was raised by three joint representatives, Michiro Endo, Otomo Yoshihide, and Ryoichi Wago, right after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 from desperate desire to tell the world what was happening then, and to give FUKUSHIMA, a name suddenly notorious from the nuclear power point accident, a better and positive image filled with hope for the future. The first goal was to host a festival right inside the city in August.
We have carried on our mission year by year since then, not only in the heart of Fukushima city, but also in various places in Japan and even globally. It is our belief that such action leads to new culture which will raise peoples energy to live this world.
The first outdoor music festival, free of charge, was held in August 15th, 2011. A total of 13000 people from Fukushima Prefecture and beyond came to the event, while a total of 250,000 people tuned in to DOMMUNE FUKUSHIMA, the Ustream program aired live on the internet.
Since then, presenting a Festival, a unique social gathering held inside actual Fukushima, has become our well known main activity.
However, alongside of the consequences of the nuclear power point accident, our challenge is to continuously rethink its content and presentation every year.
In year one, an outdoor music festival was held on the outskirts of Fukushima City, with the theme of "the future with our hands," attracting enough people to make our initial dream of 10 thousand people from within and outside of Fukushima come true. Since then, the event has been held every year on August 15th, leading to the creation of an original Bon-Odori song "Eejanaika Ondo". We had been exploring the form of the festival and in subsequent years have continued the bon odori festival every summer. The dance does not validate the current conditions. Rather, it is an expression of scathing criticism. Five thousand people dance, sing, and perform music, creating a swelling movement around the tower set up at the venue in Fukushima City as they let their heartfelt emotions intermingle.

How do we deal with this new reality in Fukushima? Let's learn from the experts and study on our own together! | 2019-04-19T15:04:19 | http://www.pj-fukushima.jp/en/about/ | [

Several length scales of different nature participate nontrivially in the magnetic phenomena. A good example is the magnetization reversal in a magnetic material that contains different kinds of defects as interfaces, voids, twins, etc. The reversal starts by nucleation near a defect, which is few nanometers and even angstroms in size. Posteriorly, a domain wall is formed that has a width of tens or hundreds of nanometers. The reversal creates a full spectrum wave length magnon distribution that transfers the energy across the sample [Suhl 98]. Additionally, the microstructure (which includes the defect profile) and the extrinsic parameters (e.g sample shape) determine the behavior of the material and the maximum domain size. The microstructure has a length scale from few nanometers to micrometers. The interactions have also different range in magnetism: from the long range dipolar interaction to the rapidly decaying exchange interaction.
Since the atomic magnetism has a quantum origin, we need quantum tools to describe it. Even assuming permanent magnetic moments, classical physics is not able to predict ferromagnetism [Hernando 01, Page 35]. Ab-initio calculations can be used to calculate the intrinsic parameters as magnetic moment, exchange energies, lattice sizes, etc. together with the energy reduction due to defect presence. The most widely used formalism is Density Functional Theory (DFT) [Dreizler 90] and its different approximations. However, it is extremely expensive in computational requirements and largest computationally affordable systems in our days consist of hundred of atoms. Simulation sizes comparable to domain wall width are not reachable for a large range of magnetic materials.
On the other hand micromagnetics, a continuum approximation, can be used in a range of systems in which the main length is comparable to the domain wall width as in artificially nanostructured elements (e.g. magnetic dots). Quite extended regions with the size of up to one hundred times the domain wall width can be simulated with this technique. In order to be more realistic the micromagnetic simulations must go hand in hand with the growing processes and characterization, since they need as input parameters the structural material parameters, such as the distribution of grain sizes, the presence of different chemical phases, the texture, etc. The tendency in the last years is to perform simulation with the greatest level of complexity of the media. However, other necessary parameters, such as the intergranular exchange and local values of magnetization, can not be obtained from standard magnetometric techniques and only ab-initio calculations could provide them, although in idealized situations.
In nowadays the trend is multiscale modeling, with the aim of using the ab-initio parameters in large scale calculations. Both in the European Union and in the United States mulsticale modeling programs have been regarded as an scientific priority for the next years [Department of Energy USA ,Cordis Europa ]. The notion of multiscale modeling stems from the necessity to treat inherently multiscale problems, as the magnetic systems. A nice example of such a modeling is the study of domain wall pinning by antiphase boundary in CoPt [Antropov 03]. Different schemes of multiscale model can be implemented depending on the simulation purposes. Fig. 2.1 shows a hierarchical model. In this model the small scale simulation(ab-initio) provides data for the final inclusion in the largest scale simulation. Additional finite temperature atomistic simulations are performed to obtain temperature dependent parameters. Other implementations are possible (see Section 2.2.4), in which two regions at different discretization levels are simulated at the same time to account for a defect on an atomistic scale.
The main problem of multiscale modeling is to link together different types of models. For example, the link between ab-initio calculations and the atomistic model is not obvious when magnetic moments are not localized or the exchange interactions are not of the Heisenberg type. The link between atomistic and micromagnetic model presents difficulties because the high-frequency part of the spinwave spectrum is truncated in micromagnetics. A related model is coarse grained modeling [Dobrovitski 00] that includes an intermediate region that is neither atomistic nor micromagnetic. The aim of the region is the correct propagation of spin waves that otherwise would be reflected by the interface.
Furthermore, different time scales appear in magnetism. From the femto seconds ultrafast magnetic dynamics [Beaurepaire 96] a vast range of magnetic processes appear, each of them with a different time scale. The magnetization precession occurs at picoseconds. The processes corresponding to the relaxation of energy into the lattice vibrations have time scales of . If a domain wall is propagating driven by current in a pinning media, its velocity can be as slow as [Kläui 05]. Finally, larger time scales corresponding to slow relaxation are interesting from the point of view of magnetic recording media stability and magnetic viscosity experiments.

Like all texture style nodes, this node takes a manifold which describes either a 2D or 3D domain to apply a the texture to. The default behavior if no manifold is attached, is to apply over the s,t domain defined on the geometry.
Provides access to texture files. Texture atlas format files can be read in UDIM (Mari) format, ZBrush, or mudbox format. This plugin also supports Rtx procedural texture plugins.
It's best to avoid special characters, diacritics, and spaces in your file path as these may not be resolved correctly and result in the texture failing to render.
If you specify an atlas style, the filename must contain _MAPID_ which will be substituted automatically according to the surface parameterization and atlasStyle. A Mari UDIM example for the first UV tile would be Diffuse1001.tex where "1001" replaces _MAPID_ in the texture filename.
1 UDIM (Mari) Diffuse1001.tex, Diffuse1002.tex, etc.

Everyone experiences ‘mountaintop moments’ in their spiritual lives. These are times when we feel close to God; we expect Him to move. Our faith is engaged. When we are in the midst of a mountaintop moment, we FEEL God’s presence surrounding us. Moses experienced a literal mountaintop moment when he received the law from God on behalf of the Israelites (Exodus 24:12-18).
Sitting on a mountain in prayer for forty days and forty nights is something you can only accomplish in the Faith Zone! Moses was literally surrounded by God’s presence, like a cloud. Undeniable.
When we are in the midst of a mountaintop moment, God’s presence, His existence, is undeniable. He is near; we are undeniably WITH the Almighty and He with us. For me, typically, these moments have happened for me on the cusp of big changes in my life. When I have felt lost or unsure, God has guided me.
The reality is that God’s presence has never left me since I invited Him into my life, so why is it in times of trial or confusion that His presence is most obvious to me? Because, when we have big choices to make, or face situations that we can’t handle, is when we seek God most desperately.
Psalm 63 was written at a time when David was desperately seeking God. As opposed to a mountain-top moment, David was alone in a desert wilderness. He was the King, but he was fleeing his son Absolom, who wanted to kill him over a whole other family drama.
The psalms are songs of worship. Although David was surrounded by desert, he didn’t praise like a man in the desert. He praised as if he was climbing a mountain, to encounter the very presence of God. His circumstances pulled him towards despair, but his heart went the opposite way: to hope, to God.
David’s worship prayer doesn’t ignore the fact that he’s in a desert, “a dry and parched land where there is no water”, he just doesn’t allow his situation to be the defining factor on whether or not he encounters God. David knew something that we all need to remember: God is the source of all life. Without God sustaining him, the desert would get the better of him. As long as God is with us, there is hope.
Although he FELT far from God, David still praised Him.
Alone in a desert, under threat of death from his own family, David prayed “your love is better than life”! Why was David able to understand God’s goodness in the midst of a trial?
An experience is so much more powerful than a story. David wasn’t clinging to the stories in an ancient book. He wasn’t worshiping a concept. He wasn’t following a set of rules. He had experienced God – his power and his glory. His love, better than life!To sustain our faith between mountain-top moments we need to experience God. How though?
Firstly, by seeking Him. I remember, as a child losing a precious possession (usually a puppy from a puppy surprise toy) and going to my mother to see if she could magically make it appear. She always said “where did you last see it?” and sent me retracing my steps. Infuriating, but reading this psalm, I see the value.
When you lose something, you go back to where you last had it. Now, David had not lost God (God is very hard to lose, one does not simply misplace the creator of the universe). What David had lost was the feeling of closeness with God.
Feelings don’t always reflect truth. Our feelings are affected by so many things that God is unaffected by: our health, other people, the weather, finances, videos of cute animals on the internet, the news.I could go on all day about things that I’ve cried about in the last week that do not change the goodness of God one little bit. But I won’t.
“He remembered us in our weakness.
Go back to where you experienced Him in the past. For David, it’s the sanctuary.
You will ALWAYS find life in scripture. When you seek God in His Word, you will ALWAYS find a fresh, God-breathed word for today.
To experience God in the desert, we must SEEK HIM.
It’s the habits that we build in the light that sustain us through the darkness. We need a reservoir of revelation.
My best friend and I live in different states now. We both have small children and are involved in our churches. Plus she is literally the most disorganised person I know. Sometimes, I don’t hear from her for months at a time.
BUT, I never doubt that she loves me.I don’t doubt she is still my friend just because I haven’t heard her voice for awhile. Why? Because of the fight we had after I laughed at her for walking into the boys toilets in grade 7. Because of the legendary practical jokes we played on our teachers at the end of grade 10. Because when I used to argue with my sister and storm out of my house I would go to hers. I could go on and on and on. I don’t doubt her, because we have years, decades of shared history. A couple of months of silence will never change our history. It’s the same with God.
I may feel as though He is silent, but when I open the Bible, the truth is still there. There are still thousands of years’ worth His love. It is still life-changing. I may feel as if He is distant, but I still remember the night at a Connect group run by ill-equipped but enthusiastic 14 year old, that I decided to take a risk on Jesus. I still remember praying for a woman in the Philippines, whose heart was failing, and seeing the colour come back into her face and hear her praise God without pain for the first time in months. I still remember seeing God move in my school when I was in year 11 and 12 at a public school and seeing three people praying once a week at lunchtime turn into a group of 80 running a service at lunchtime. I remember being called into the principal’s office to be told I was doing a great job but could I please stop because too many people were getting saved.
I remember God coming through. Again and again. When I am in the darkness, I remember what I saw in the light. That’s what it means to testify. That’s why David was able to praise in the desert.
A mature faith doesn’t rely on every moment to be a mountaintop, because, if there were no valleys, there would be no mountains either. That’s geography, but it’s also life in abundance.
I cling to you, your right hand upholds me.
We often hear of people who’ve been able to just hold on: hold on to hope against the odds, that sort of thing. David takes it a step further; he clings. What’s the difference between holding on to God, and CLINGING to Him?
There are two ways that I walk my dog: without her harness and with her harness. She pulls like a steam train and the harness works by putting pressure on her shoulders if she pulls too hard. When I walk her WITH the harness, I hold the lead, but when I walk her WITHOUT the harness, I CLING to the lead.
Think of a rock climber holding onto a cliff face.
He’s pretty happy. Not too far up, looks like it’s a wall he has climbed before, maybe he’s just super skilled. Whatever it is, he’s got it under control, he’s not bothered.
However, check out this guy!
He is clinging, not holding on. He’s not having such a great time. He really desperately doesn’t want to let go of that rock. So what is the difference between them? Other than the potential for a horrible death.
What’s the difference between walking my dog with or without her harness? What’s the difference between hanging on the a cliff face or clinging on for dear life? What’s the difference between letting your relationship God tick along comfortably and clinging to Him desperately, with all you have?
When Saskia and I go for a walk without the harness, there is a risk that she might pull the lead out of my hand and take herself for a walk. When a climber switches the local indoor climbing wall for a real live mountain, the risk increases exponentially.
Could it be that you are living a life where you don’t actually need God to uphold you?
Perhaps God is calling you today to take a risk on Him!
Climbing the same indoor climbing wall over and over again with the same group of friends might be fun and it might keep you fit, but how much more exhilarating is it to explore real mountains? Attending church every week is a good thing to do, you get to be part of an amazing community, there’s food, good music, it’s all good. BUT how much more will you get out of it if you take a risk: join a team, lead a connect group, speak prophetically into someone’s life, invite people into your world.
Putting your spare change in the offering will certainly help the offering be bigger, but if you take a risk and add some faith to your giving, if you make your generosity hurt just a little from time to time, add an element of sacrifice, you will see God move and bless you.
Sometimes, we will feel close to God, on the mountaintop and sometimes, we will feel far away. Sometimes that’s a result of seasons and circumstances and sometimes, our own sin causes us to withdraw from God. Whatever is going on, we never lose God, only our perception of His presence. He never abandons you, He never will. He promises unfailing love.
When you lose the feeling of His nearness, resist the urge to withdraw. Don’t let the enemy reduce your faith, which the Bible says can move mountains, to something as flimsy as a feeling.
Seek – go back to where you last found His presence.
Remember – Remember His goodness when you find yourself in the dark. Testify – tell yourself the stories of what he has done in the past.
Cling – take risks. Live a life that needs His right hand to uphold you.
Above all, remember. He never gives up. He never abandons you. He is always faithful and His love is better than life. He is the beginning and the end; the same, yesterday, today and forever.
We are all familiar with sacrifices in life. Some sacrifices are large and significant; others are more everyday. Sacrifice could mean anything from forgoing the last piece of pizza for your friend to giving up a kidney for a family member , just like a member of our Energizer family did a while back.
Making sacrifices is a noble pursuit. As a nation, on ANZAC Day, we remember and honour the sacrifices made by thousands of service personnel throughout the various wars our country has been involved in. Parents sometimes remind their children of what the sacrifices involved in raising them.
We are about to celebrate the birth of Jesus; He was born so He could be a Holy sacrifice for humanity.
That Holy sacrifice is at the very core of Christianity; without it Christianity would not exist. So as Christians, we are very familiar with the concept and see it as noble. As we embrace a new era, I believe we will have a greater understanding of sacrifice.
Often we pursue and celebrate the various acts of sacrifice, but miss the real heart and motivation behind it and take on a martyr-type spirit. To make real and genuine, life-changing sacrifice part of our lives in a new era, we need to understand what God desires from us most.
Interestingly, He doesn’t ask for martyrs but, as King Saul found out, He rates obedience above sacrifice.
Our submission to God and our obedience to His voice should be our sacrifice to Him.
Our submission to Him will always trump our various acts of sacrifice, which all too often, in our humanity, we live to resent. Submission to God brings freedom; seeking acts of sacrifice alone can become religious.
In our world I’m humbled by the amazing sacrifices you all make to see our church grow and lives impacted. Let’s keep making the source of motivation our obedience to His voice and submission to God, then we will continue to live in freedom and true joy.
See you at our services this Sunday and let’s keep making intentional pre-service prayer part of our culture!
Marketing companies spend a lot of time, effort and money developing packaging, because packaging sells; we’re attracted to the bright and shiny.
At times the packaging can be even more exciting and durable than the product it contains. You probably still have shoe boxes that contained shoes that have long since expired!
And of course, the beautiful iPhone boxes: all part of the “Apple experience”: too beautiful to discard, they mostly outlast the phone they once carried.
Collections of Grange Hermitage, the famous Australian red wine, have sold for over 150 000 dollars. However, to those uneducated in the world of wine, a bottle of Grange worth thousands of dollars may look less impressive than a ten dollar bottle, even though the contents are worlds apart.
Another version says earthen vessels, meaning common everyday crockery. All of us can feel rather ordinary and feel like we fall well short of the perfect package, even cracked or broken like a clay jar or piece of everyday crockery.
Our God’s power is not limited by the size, quality, or finish of the container. His power can’t be contained and was never supposed to be contained. Out of your imperfection or brokenness can flow a power that can’t be contained, managed or even fully understood.
Out of our imperfection flows true perfection.
Let’s not see our brokenness as a limitation, but rather an opportunity and channel for God to do something magnificent through us.
Let’s be specific with our prayer this weekend, especially in our pre-service prayer meetings. Pray for new people, salvations, breakthrough in giving and for powerful life-changing encounters with God.
Just over a year ago, we moved house. As with any new abode, there were a few little adjustments we wanted to make and, for me at least, the addition of a dishwasher was top priority.
So yesterday, I got my dishwasher installed; I obviously need to work on my prioritising skills!
There is nothing more relaxing, as far as I am concerned, than the gentle hum of a magical cupboard doing the dishes for me. It is a far better use of space, IMHO, than the boring old regular cupboard that was there before. My husband is very good at a lot of things, but carpentry is not really one of them. Sadly for us and our new magic cupboard, this is also true of me.
So on Tuesday we had this dishwasher delivered, and, unsure of what to do with it and how to get it from sitting in the hallway to performing its miraculous function in the kitchen, I left it where it was. Tuesday night is the night we host Connect Group at our house and so when “the homies”, as my three year old calls them, arrived, I proudly showed off my new dishwasher to them and explained my problem of how to get it into a kitchen which had no dishwasher-shaped hole, without breaking said kitchen.
Now one of our Connect Group homies is also one of our dearest friends (they all are really, but this is a story about one in particular). Josh is the person who first went out of his way to befriend and welcome us when we first showed up at Energizer Church, close to a decade ago. He has helped me out of plenty of tight spots, from picking up children from care when I was stuck in traffic, to changing flat tyres, and many other situations. It is in his nature to be generous, and I have seen proof of that time and time again.
Without hesitation, Josh offered to come and install the dishwasher for us later in the week, which he did. He did an incredible job and, true to form, found three other things to fix in my house while he was here. “Uncle Josh has done a great job!” declared Jasper and he was right.
When we discussed how we might pay him, Josh said “in beer, but only if you drink it with me”. This says so much about him and so much about what it means to be generous. The goal of his generosity was not to get something; it was relationship. True generosity has no ulterior motive other than to love.
Josh is a skilled tradesperson and his time is valuable, but he demonstrated that relationships are more valuable by helping us out when he didn’t need to. Generosity doesn’t always mean giving large sums of money. It means being free with whatever is in your hand. For Josh, what was in his hand that day was super tradie skills and a couple of “spare” hours (let’s be honest, there’s no such thing as free time, just time we make free). He took what he was good at and was generous with it.
What I am best at is writing, so, inspired by Josh, today I am using that gift to be generous with my honour. My bank account looks pretty sad (maternity leave life!) but I have a “spare” hour, so I can donate that to write this article. Hopefully, you read it and decide to take whatever is in your hand to show some generosity today as well. That’s how it works; generosity breeds generosity.
One of my favourite passages of the Bible is found in Ezekiel 47, where the prophet saw a vision of a small stream that became first a creek and then a river. Wherever that river flowed, there was life and vitality, even as it made its way east, through the desert, eventually bringing life to the once lifeless dead sea.
Marshes remain salty because only a small amount water flows in, but is unable to flow through and flush out impurities, hence the swamp remains toxic. Therefore, the best way to deal with a swamp is not to try and remove all the impurities and toxins, but to introduce adequate fresh water and provide a path for it to drain away. As the fresh, clean water flows through, toxins, salt and sludge are washed away, making way for life to return.
Purity is not so much about living to certain standards and ideals; it is more about living in such a way that impurity is flushed out of our lives by the life-giving spirit of God. That flow is increased as we allow that spirit to flow through us, removing contamination and bringing life to those around us.
This Sunday we’re going to look at what purity really is; what are the benefits of purity and how do we find it?
Remember, pre-service prayer before all services: let’s make it a priority!
A while ago I shared a God Story in one of our Sunday services, a snippet of the works of God in my life: how God has taken myself and my family from a complicated and unpleasant living situation to a much better one. Truthfully, there is so much more to the story. It was one of those “when it rains it pours” type scenarios. Throughout this time, I have really had to learn that waiting, exercising patience, is a verb. It’s not something you do passively all the time. As the psalmist says, “I waited patiently for God,” but, like him, I still cried, at times literally. I think the relentless crying out is what gets God’s attention. Any parents out there know there is only so much crying out a parent can bear before they act on their child’s behalf. Perhaps it’s not all about the getting what we want, or even need, as much as these experiences shape who we really are.
Not so many months ago, four to be precise, we found ourselves moving into what we thought was to be a very good home. It didn’t turn out that way, sadly. One thing about this house was that its foundations were bad. Regardless of everything else that was the matter, this particular experience seriously challeged my own foundations. As a result, I have thought and prayed long and hard about faith.
Nothing says, ‘draw near to’ or ‘lean on God’ like hard times, right? Well, not always. Life is about choices and it really can go either way. Now, I am not saying that’s how I was heading. To be honest, I am beginning to feel like I am majoring in difficult life situations, one after another. Faith is now my go-to; it’s my only life boat; it’s all that I have. Even with faith as my faithful go-to, I couldn’t seem to activate my go-go-gadget faith arms and get anything flowing. During this period, my frustration was beginning to grow very wild. We had a green light to leave this hideous house as soon as we could and yet, for the first time in our lives, finding another property was hard. At times it felt impossible. We’ve never before had to look for seven days, let alone seven of the longest weeks of my life!
Luckily for me, I have a friend named Jen. She is a storyteller and is often on the hunt for stories just like mine. She messaged me one morning and asked if I had or if I knew of any God Stories. Because I am hilarious, I half jokingly said “if we get this house we are applying for today, I will stand up and be your God story Sunday”. Well, who knew that was all that it would take to get my prayers answered and we would be approved that very day. Note to self for future reference! Funnily enough, it just so happened that I had listed Jen as a character reference for the real estate agent as well!
For my faith to be activated, I had to activate my faith, myself. I had to be willing to step out of myself: and step out I did. At that moment, just like the psalmist, my feet were totally steadied and not only was my burden lifted, I felt like I had a new song and that it would be completely true, that many would see what he has done and be amazed. I don’t know that anyone was that amazed but it is amazing and I am amazed all the time at the faithfulness of God in my life.
If you read Psalm 40 in its entirety, you will notice two parts. The first is David praising our God for pulling him out of the pit. Like every good rescue story, he went on to live hsppily ever after… not. David found himself in another pit, only this time he was strengthened by the truth he acquired in the first pit. His response is probably how we all should respond: remembering God is our helper and our saviour, as proclaimed in verse 17.
So now I know that I’m not just becoming skilled at dealing with difficult situations; God is building my faith. He’s allowed me to be wiped off my feet at times so I can find him on my knees. While I’m walking around flapping like a duck, God is using my last test to prepare me for the next one. I look forward, strangely, to the next one.
I really like guitars, but I also really like my wife, who really likes not being broke. Buying new guitars and staying married (or at least not being broke), can sometimes mean selling old guitars. Saying goodbye to old ones, means saying hello to new ones.
Changing into my work uniform works a lot better if I first remove my pyjamas. Being ready for a new day, means leaving behind the night before.
When I first moved to Hobart, I missed Launceston, I wanted to hold on to my life up there, but my future was in Hobart, and I couldn’t stay in Launceston and also live in Hobart. I had to leave Launceston behind.
Stepping into a new era as a church is going to mean embracing change for each of us personally. It’s going to mean leaving some things behind. Lately, I’ve been asking myself what I need to leave behind to enter a new era?
The sin that trips us up will be different for all of us, but all of us have the same decision to make: will we leave it behind to step into a new era? This isn’t something that just happens; we need to make plans and be strategic. What determines your success at throwing off the things that would hold you back is what you plan to replace them with. Deciding not to do something is much harder to stick to than deciding to do something else instead.
Throw off gossip, take up kind words.
Throw off self-medication, take up supportive friendships and healthy habits.
Throw off bitterness and take up thankfulness.
Throw off laziness and take up discipline.
God transforms us from one glory to the next glory. Transformation is a process of change. If we hold on to what God did years ago, living in ‘the glory days‘, we risk holding up the process of transformation, and missing out on the ‘ever increasing glory’ God wants to bring us into. Let’s not forget what God has done for us in the past, Rev 12:11 reminds us that “they (that’s us) have defeated him (our accuser) by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony”, but let’s always seek God for what he’s doing next. Where is the next victory? What’s the new ground to take? Where is God leading us right now?
Tradition isn’t inherently bad, but tradition for its own sake can distract us from the spiritual reality we live in; we miss the point! Some of the things I was taught growing up in a pretty conservative church environment were much more ‘man-made ideas’ than ‘commands from God’. Let’s measure everything we hear against God’s word, and throw out anything that doesn’t line up.
Joshua and Caleb were the only two, out of all the Israelites, who came close enough to the promised land to actually walk into the promise. Imagine the disappointment they must have felt as a whole nation had to turn their backs on that promise and just walk away. Imagine trying to live the next forty years full of faith and expectation, when they knew they had come so close.
Often, to fully embrace a new era, we have to let go of the past. For Joshua, God was saying more than the obvious. He was telling him to let go of the disappointment; let go of the old thinking; see yourselves differently. See yourselves as owners, rather than borrowers; see yourselves as inhabitants, not wanderers; see yourselves as thrivers, not survivors!
For Joshua to make this shift he had to let go of the Moses era, which was an era of survival; it was living day to day and hand to mouth. That era was over. However, the thing Joshua had to do was be courageous enough to walk into and lead a nation into the promise.
Three times the Lord said to Joshua “be strong and courageous”. We know that God is our strength; we know that when we are weak, He is strong. God did amazing, powerful things that Joshua could never have dreamed of, but what only Joshua could do, was use his own strength and courage to leave the familiar, leave the disappointment and walk across that river into a new land and a new era.
What is God asking you to leave behind as we walk into an exciting new era?
Let’s remember to be filled with faith, courage and expectation this Sunday! | 2019-04-26T07:49:44 | https://energizerchurchblog.com/category/devotionals/ | [

Are you looking to play online casino games but have no idea how they work? Are you trying to figure out which are the best websites to use? Do you want to try and figure out which casinos will allow you to play for free before investing your own cash? Great! Keep reading, as this information will let you know all of the above.
Roulette is regarded as one of the more exciting games in a casino. Winning on roulette takes no skill, as it is all down to luck. There are some ways to control wagers to try and increase chances of winning though.
The great thing about blackjack is that it gives players the chance to try and win using a combo of the skills they have learnt from playing, but also from luck as well.
Video poker has increased in popularity in both land and online casinos. The great thing about this game is that it combines slot machine play with poker, to make one extremely exciting game!
Online poker has become even more popular as some of 'older' casino games like slots and roulette. Nowadays, the famous card game can be played in every online casino.
Online slot machines have always been a favorite, and that is not about to stop now. They are not just relaxing and exciting at the same time, but they offer players to chance to win huge cash prizes without staking lots of money.
Baccarat is a game that certainly suits the high rollers in this world. The rules of the game are incredibly simple and players enjoy it because the house edge is consistently very low.
Online Keno is a game that is like a bingo game. Players are required to guess numbers 1-80 and the numbers that get chosen by the Keno machine in occordance with the players numbers are winners.
Nowadays, players that want to get involved in casino play have two basic options. They can choose to go to what is know as a traditiona or land based casino, or they can go to an online casino. An online casino certainly has many more positives connected to it than land based casinos.
One of the major advantages of online casinos that they are extremely easy to use. Players do not need to wait for an online casino to open and even then, they do not have to travel to it; it is available 24/7 without any problems. Players can also disconnect any time and not worry about missing out on game play, as they know they can log back on when ever they want to!
There is no lock down thanks to geographical location with online casinos. You can play poker with someone that is 5,000 miles away, just like you can any other game. It opens up new doors when it comes to wagering.
Don’t forget that online casinos are the ones that tend to offer the biggest and best bonuses. Signing up to an online casino usually means huge cash prizes and a huge selection of games, something that many other casinos just do not offer if they are land based.
Online casinos also allow for more responsible gambling because if you develop a gambling addiction they are able to block your player account to prevent you from playing, something land based casinos cannot do. | 2019-04-20T08:52:22 | http://www.casinogames-online.info/ | [

Ships to United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Ships to: United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Join Elmo, Oscar the Grouch, and the rest of your Sesame Street friends as they splat, splash, crash, and dash their way through The Messy Alphabet Book!
Oscar is tired of the same old ABCs. They’re too predictable, too perfect, too clean. In his version, your child finds out that G stands for gooey, M stands for mud-coated, and T stands for tuna fish-marshmallow blend (yuck!). Your kiddo will have a blast learning their ABCs in this silly, scrambled take on alphabet books.
Personalize The Messy Alphabet Book with your little one’s name, photo, and a dedication message to remind them that sometimes learning is a little messy. At the end of the book, your child can decorate their initials using all the tricks they learned from their Sesame Street pals!
This is the 3rd book I've purchased from Put me in the Story, and they are all amazing. The story lines include characters that the children know, and when they see their photo and name linked with the storyline, they are so excited. | 2019-04-23T21:11:46 | https://www.putmeinthestory.com/personalized-books/sesame-street-the-messy-alphabet-book-hc.html | [

We welcome you to Porto Veneziano's musical event series, "A summer of Music 2017"!
Nikos Platirachos is a well-known and respected artist, who has composed music for more than 20 films of Greek and European origin, notably movies like "September", "Onoirografia", "The Homeless", "Hariton's Choir" and many more. Kleoniki Demiri is a reputable performer of classic cinematic songs, in Greece and abroad. They both join their talents and experiences through the secret landscapes of the cinema, or of what could be the cinema, when the lights of the screen are turned off. On this night, songs from selected international and Greek movies, will escape from their cinematic justification and will emerge into a dreamlike musical performance of great passion, mellow emotions and unfulfilled adolescence love, as well as full of joy, hope and positive contemplation of the future. Scenes from beloved classic movies, moments that define our own life, or what we would like our life to be, music and pictures as a colorful mural, as impressive, mystical and secretly promising, as the narrative of our own story.
Music and songs that bring back memories from the past years of our lives, when we were enthralled by the charm of the cinema screens and their projected scenes. Acoustic nostalgia for selected ageless music that once emerged and is still accompanying us. Adaptations from some exquisite and equally unforgettable theatrical performances. We are very excited to present to you this mosaic, made of pure musical emotions, where the old coexists with the new and all of what is Greek blends harmoniously with anything international.
Nikos Gatsos, the famous poet and writer, is equally established as a leading lyricist of the Greek music scene. His lyrics have appeared and enriched music compositions by Manos Hadjidakis, Mikis Theodorakis, Stavros Xarhakos, Dimos Moutsis, Loukianos Kilaidonis and other. Manos Hadjidakis once said about Nikos Gatsos: “He wrote unique songs. All the expensive elements of his poetry were turned into lyrics that mobilized our mined modern Greek sensitivity, as the latter remained unconsciously numbed by the lyrical exaggerations of the past, for too long. I was a student of his. I consider him the most important person I have met in my life, after my mother."
A selection of important music Greek compositions that proudly represents the 20th and 21st centuries' artistic movement in Greece. Music written by Rena Kiriakou, Manolis Kalomiris, Giannis Konstantinidis and Manos Hadjidakis, plus pieces written during the period in-between. A program that intelligently combines European-style compositions with traditional melodies and dances of Greece.
Songs that encompass a major melodic range, from lightweight popular up to works of traditional poetry. Panos Lambridis’ album, entitled "Multiple Selves", includes 13 new songs, music written by Panos Lambridis, Dimitris Eratinos and Nikomachos Melitzanas, and lyrics written by Panos Lambridis, Dimitris Eratinos, Sotiris Parapouras and Dimitris Lentzos. Dimitris Eratinos' album, entitled "In the Hug of the World", includes 12 new songs, music and lyrics written by Dimitris Eratinos, Panos Lambridis, Konstantinos Boukouvalas, Stefanos Babalos, Kostis Chalatsis, plus one song written by Phenia Christou (music) and Leonidas Kakaroglou (poetry, lyrics), and one more song, music written by Areti Kokkinou and lyrics by Maria Polidouri. You can find more information about our music quests and endeavors at: http://protiparagogi.com.
These two renowned artists will indulge our musical sensitivities by performing songs and music originally written by Nino Rota, for unforgettable movies directed by Federico Fellini. There will be melodies from world acclaimed films, like “Casablanca”, “Swing Children” and “Exodus”. Also, songs by Kurt Weill, Kostas Giannidis and others, as well as original vivid compositions written and performed by this vibrant duo.
Selected masterpieces by Aram Khachaturian, Darius Milhaud, Dinos Konstantinidis and Gian Carlo Menotti.
Aram Khachaturian, Trio for Clarinet, Violin and Piano 1932 (1.Andante con dolore, con molto espressione, 2.Allegro, 3.Moderato) – Darius Milhaud, Trio for Clarinet, Violin and Piano 1936 (1.Ouverture, 2.Divertissement, 3.Jeu, 4.Introduction et final) – -Dinos Konstantinidis, The oracle at Delphi for Clarinet, Violin and Piano 1994 – Gian Carlo Menotti, Trio for Clarinet, Violin and Piano 1996 (1.Capriccio, 2.Romanza, 3.Envoi).

This week's SmackDown Live is the first SmackDown after Elimination Chamber 2019 on Feb. 17, 2019! Press F5 or refresh for updates during the show.
Smackdown opens with Shane McMahon hitting the ring. They show a brief recap of the WWE Championship match two nights ago, and then he takes a mic. "Thank you for that, what's up, New Orleans? As you can see, what an amazing main event we have for you tonight. How amazing was the debut of Johnny Gargano, Tomasso Ciampa, Aleister Black, and of course, Ricochet. They're going to be here again tonight, and a lot more."
Miz comes out. "Look, I know I said I wasn't going to do this, but I haven't slept in 48 hours, I haven't eaten. Look, two nights ago, I lost the Smackdown Tag Team Championships. That's been 48 sleepless hours for me. I know you took a chance on me, I know my reputation, and you took a chance on me, and that means so much to me. Shane, I have a confession to make: I used you. I knew you'd relate to how I feel about my dad, it's everything I live for, and I knew you could relate. And when I fell injured at Best in the World, you selflessly took my place. You revealed that your dream was to be a tag team champion, and I can relate, when I win a title, I make it the most relevant, most prestigious championship in the WWE. And then, two days later, you surprised me by bringing out my dad. And as the crowd chanted, 'Mr. Miz', my dad told me that he was proud of me, and that he loved me. And that was the first time that I have ever heard him say that. And that was... that was the best moment of my career, and one of the greatest moments of my life. And it was because of you. So thank you. But then two days ago, in our first title defense, I let you down, and I am so sorry. Now, I can't change the past, but I can control the future. And I know there are no more automatic rematch clauses, but you're Shane McMahon. And if anyone can make a rematch with the best tag team in the world and The Usos, it is you, Shane. Listen to the crowd, Shane. I know they want it, I know you want it. Rematch, rematch!"
The Usos come out. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Holy cow. From the sounds of it, uce, it sounds like the WWE Universe want a rematch between Shane and the Miz vs. the brand new Smackdown Live Tag Team Champions! But this is what we know: there's no more automatic rematch clauses. But Shane, if you could dig down deep and forgive your partner, then we'll give you one more chance to become the tag team champions of the world. But Shane, there's only one reason you don't want this rematch. Let's keep it real: your boy, Miz, is a joke. These are facts. Your boy, Miz, is a failure, he's a fraud, he wants to be an a-list star with c-list skills. He said it himself, he's a crybaby."
Shane: "With all due respect, you don't disrespect my partner. The rematch is on! And it's happening in your hometown, Cleveland, Ohio, at Fastlane!"
Miz: "We're taking back our tag team championships, and that is awesome!"

Kayla: "Asuka, you are one of the most formidable Superstars in WWE history. The longest undefeated streak of any champion in NXT, the winner of the first Women's Royal Rumble, and now, a year later, Smackdown Women's Champion. But lately it seems like more people are talking about Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey. Do you feel lost in the shuffle?"

Mandy Rose comes out with Sonya. "Aww, poor Asuka. No one is paying attention to you. Here's a little advice: why don't you take some notes from God's Greatest Creation, the most magnetic, the most irresistable, and the most talked-about Superstar in WWE. So if anyone's ready for Asuka, it's me."

Kofi says this has been huge, and it was all possible thanks to his brothers in the New Day pushing for him to be the one in the Elimination Chamber. He says the momentum is just getting started.
Daniel Bryan grabs a mic before the match started and runs down the crowd for being the same kind of small-minded skeptics who have held down great thinkers for all of history. He says his opponent for Fastlane won't be any of the men in the match tonight, because he already beat them.

Come on, Kofi, make us all believers. | 2019-04-22T22:36:49 | http://angrymarks.com/?ArticleID=54229 | [

When you’re trying to decide what to pack its inevitable that you look at all your belongings and wonder what’s worth leaving etc. We chose to take most of our stuff – including our sofa and to be honest, I’m really glad we did. In truth, if we had to replace everything when we got here we would have quickly run out of money. I read recently that white goods are more expensive in Australia than in the UK well I’ve just bought a rather large fridge and a washing machine and that wasn’t really my experience. We went to “The Good Guys” where, if you pay cash, and buy more than one th ing you can barter and save yourself money. Now their definition of “cash” isn’t actually cash… they mean pay now rather than on one of their credit systems. Although, you have to remember that your Eftpos (switch) has a limit on it so, like us, you’ll probably end up paying for most of it by actual cash anyway! It was great though, working with a friendly, smiley employee and watching the money get slashed off the prices! Nice! We also weren’t expecting the fabulous government incentive of a rebate on water efficient goods. So, when we bought our “front loader” (or normal washing machine t you us Expats) we weren’t expecting to get $50 from Bosch and another $200 from SA water for being such responsible washing machine purchasers! (yay!) that means that our machine will have cost us $535 (£308) – That doesn’t seem unreasonable to me and it has a 2 year warranty.
We also bought ourselves a fridge freezer. We wanted one that was 50/50 but they didn’t seem to have any like that so in the end we went for one with “french doors”. That means that it’s wider and on the left side is the freezer and the right the fridge. It has a lovely wine rack inside too (so I can keep my McClaren wines and Matt’s Boags nice and cool 🙂 Lovely!
We also bought an ironing board. That was probably the most entertaining part. Matt announced to the lovely (Irish born) iron expert that he had to do all his own ironing at which point she announced that” If his Mrs wasn’t going to look after him, this Mrs would!” and promptly started demonstrating ironing boards. In the end, on her advice, he selected one which was designed for tall people. It was extra long so that he can fit is long trouser legs on the board and iron them in one stroke – I can’t wait to see him ironing all of his trousers 😉 lol. I actually felt a bit guilty for the years of abuse I’d given him. I mean fancy asking him to iron his own shirts 😉 The women in the shop declared that she “didn’t know what was wrong with young women today” apparently her daughter is also just as bad! lol. I tried to protest that we both worked full time but she had already fallen in love with Matt and was busy helping him to avoid getting a bad back.
We also brought home our “exarmy” 😉 futon today and bought some blue (Matt’s fav colour) sheets to tide us over for a few days whilst we wait for the rest of our stuff! Its all starting to come together now! 🙂 Yay! | 2019-04-19T18:31:31 | http://www.rockinmochin.com/beginning-to-feather-the-nest/ | [

WHAT: The above photo taken last week depicts exactly what happens when a colony of subterranean termites makes a home out of your house. As roofs collapse, subterranean termites are creating havoc in other homes unbeknownst to their owners.
Why have subterranean termites arrived months ahead of schedule? And what can homeowners do to prepare and prevent?
Jeffery McChesney of Truly Nolen saw a 30 percent increase of these silent destroyers last winter and predicts this year to be even worse. The increase in rain has allowed soil to get saturated, creating the perfect moist conditions for termites to thrive.
Eliminate or reduce moisture in and around your home.
Maintain at least an 18-inch gap between your home and soil.
Trim hedges and other vegetation to prevent ventilation blockages.
WHEN: Subterranean termites swarming now, months earlier than normal.
WHY: Subterranean termites swarming now, months earlier than normal.
Termite damage is rarely covered by home insurance.
Subterranean termites are the most destructive species of termite.
An estimated $5 billion in termite-related property damage occurs every year in America. | 2019-04-18T11:25:29 | https://www.trulynolen.com/pest-advice-blog/st-petersburg-roof-collapse-caused-termites/ | [

County and City Directories are a good source to locate your family members. If you have found your family in a census, I would search the state and try to locate a directory for that area. Many times you will also find other family members listed along with the head of household. If the family was involved in a business this information could also be included. Some directories even provide street address. This could be very useful if you are searching a large city. | 2019-04-20T00:44:05 | https://newmexicogenealogy.com/dir | [

Nice little post from TechCrunch got me hooked on the app Color Text Messages+.
Many similar apps are on the market (for emotis as well) but this runs pretty smooth allowing you to send colored text messages with various fonts and backgrounds.
Simply type the message of choice in the app, when you are finished hit the send button in the upper right corner (see below). It is then copied to the clipboard. Go to your text conversation and hit paste. | 2019-04-18T19:26:31 | http://www.talknerdytome.net/2012/05/colored-text-messages-app.html | [
