To strengthen and expand position in existing countries, Foodpanda, together with its affiliated brands hellofood and Delivery Club, today announced another financing round of USD 60 million from a group of investors, including various existing investors, Falcon Edge Capital and Rocket Internet AG. Since its launch in 2012, foodpanda/hellofood has raised over USD 100 Million.
Recently, the company acquired competitor Delivery Club, making it the leading food delivery marketplace in Russia.
The marketplace helps restaurants to increase delivery sales through online and mobile platforms, and provides them with constantly evolving technology and analytics. Customers can choose their favorite meal online, and Foodpanda sends the order directly to the restaurant, which delivers the meal to the customer. The company has recently launched its next generation mobile application available on major platforms.
In 2013, Foodpanda secured more than USD 20 Million funding from Phenomen Ventures and Investment AB Kinnevik, and USD 8 million from iMENA Holdings. Another USD 20 Million from a group of investors, including Phenomen Ventures, was collected in February 2014. It is active in more than 40 countries on five continents. | 2019-04-23T06:15:55 | http://www.iamwire.com/2014/08/foodpanda-group-raises-usd-60-million-aiming-leadership-emerging-markets/83660 |
Just how our technologies continues to grow never ceases to impress. The release of the Kindle several years ago people are now on the look for free Kindle mystery books. This certainly will come as no surprise since the digital path appears to be the way of the world. Many people were happy a couple of years ago when the very first Kindle came on the market. They were happy to use a wireless gadget to read their novels.
An incredible feature of the Kindle while reading your free books is the print size can be increased or perhaps reduced. Well suited for those that have to have books with big print because of their eyesight.

The Scrum framework is purposefully simple and relies on the collective capabilities on the entire team to deliver on its promised benefits. This includes the team’s ability to properly identify and understand the problems and dysfunctions Scrum exposes, and helps effectively prioritize and deal with various items. As a result, Team capabilities can plateau or stall as a consequence of a variety of factors that have nothing to do with the framework itself. Scrumban principles and practices help counteract these factors.

Brunel’s Ageing Studies team members Eleanor van den Heuvel and Emma Harding were invited to present their work at Age UK’s annual 60+ Fair on 27th September 2016 to help celebrate International Older People’s Day. They joined many local community groups including Active 50s, Hillingdon Carers, Hillingdon Mind, Healthwatch, Consortium for Housebound & Disabled Pensioners and more, taking over the indoor market space.
The Ageing Studies stall was well attended and many older people joined the Brunel Older people’s Reference Group (BORG).
As part of their attendance Brunel researchers were able to display the ageing suit, which helps students studying at Brunel University London experience some of the common problems associated with ageing first hand. | 2019-04-20T04:25:31 | https://www.brunel.ac.uk/research/News-and-events/news/Ageing-Studies-take-part-in-event-to-help-celebratd-International-Older-Peoples-Day |

I always hated cash games but since a month ago i decided to try seriously playing these games only for money reasons. A lot of people says that is profitable but it was not profitable at all for me, i'm not that bad player and even i took some lessons to play cash.
The fact is cash games turned terrible tedious for me, sometimes i win, sometimes i lose but the most terrible thing is to play hours to get only cents, so it's worse than long tournaments. if you have luck and get several good hands is easy but whit bad cards is very difficult and is really hard to find real bad players even in micro stakes, i have experience of getting low value whit nuts.
The only good thing is you get "loyalty points" faster that is quite relevant in rooms like pokerstars and intertops, hmm maybe 888 and yes there are a lot of promotions only for cash games.
I see there are players that get profit playing 4 tables simultaneus, and this is a hell for me, doing that way you're obligated to stay focused at game. i like to do other things while i'm playing poker and playing more than 2 tables is stressful to me.
so i will play mtt's and maybe some sit and go. i will play cash for a short time in 888 just because i want to get 20 level faster.
I totally get what you are saying. It takes a large sampling and goal setting and a ton of grind in cash but you can do it. The problem is that you are not going to make big high roller cash game quickly. It a grind. I will say there is less variance in a cash game especially as you study and get better.
I started in sng/mtt in poker and then as I have gotten older, I have started doing more cash games and added it. I now play more hands cash than I do MTTs.
I seperate my cash sessions from my mtt sessions. I never mix the two. I have cash goals and mtt goals.
I would suggest setting goals and separate your cash game study from mtt study. Develop goals. For example with a 100 roll, hit the 5nl until you get to 250 and then withdraw 60 and then move up to 10nl. If your roll falls Down to say 175 move down and 500 move up. Withdraw each move up. Treat yourself. It's not life changing but get a hud and also graphs help in deciding your profit. It actually is a different kind of strategy than Mtts. It actually is a grind and you won't win life changing money instantly but imagine if you start at 2nl and you have moved up to playing for 500.00 pots or 1k pots and have a roll to play them well?
Hint: If this is how you go about playing on cash game tables, you're missing out on a huge part of the game!
I would encourage you to keep working at it. I think we should all play as much variety as we can. This helps you in all your games because every variant is different and you can learn skills that become useful in certain situations even in other games. Playing a lot of heads up cash for example helps prepare you for the rare times you are final two in a tournament or sit and go. If I read you correctly you were losing and bored at the same time. that is an ugly combo. I suggest mixing it up. Work on new ideas and different strategies and approaches to the game. This way you are less bored than "fold, fold, fold, raise and win , fold, fold, fold, AA raise no callers, raise AK get it all in and lose to AA!, fold, fold, fold, raise suited connectors and get jammed on, etc...Once you have explored a bunch of different strategies maybe something new will develop for you. Maybe you will find being loose aggressive works for you or super tight is better or a mix..Give it more time. If you win in other games you can win in cash but as stated above you do need to grind and be patient.
It's going to be hard to get a reasonable sample size while playing only 2 tables at a time. You may just be on a "downswing".
Maybe do some off the table studying or take a break and then try pump out some more playing volume.
You have made the correct analysis for you game. Cash requires focus, and if you want to do other things whole playing, tournament poker is for you. Cash is a grind, and loss of focus is pretty sure to cost you loss of bankroll as well.
Focus, Decision-Making, Self-Discipline, Mental Endurance.
Review your hand histories, or better yet, get someone else too... This can do wonders for your game... and if you aren't putting in time studying off the felt, your game will continue to be stagnant.
Same logic can be applied to MTTs. You play 3 hours and because of a cooler your AA lost to 66 and you won 3$ YOHOO!
If you saying playing for a 3 hours , and winning only some cents. I think this is not profitable. Why you didn't trying to play biggest limits ? I mean play at NL0.25/0.10 10max tables this is not so much money , but if you play at this limits. I think you can win some money in plus.
Ahoy there - brigante `canabero` !
As you say : you "..decided to try seriously playing these games only for money reasons.."
1st of all - I have the question : where ? .. at NL2 tables ???
C`mon ! don`t be silly one !
Think - at micro limits most of `thinking` people play only for fun ! Other part - aprox. 40..50% play here only for rake `woop-woop` (in other words - the play into zero profit, but thinking - the have here some small profit).
Any limit lower than NL25 - by my opinion, is the `fun` limit : you take to the table some cash (2..5 stacks) & play there. If you win some - good, but if you lost - stand up, go out & forget it ! That was fun.
But if you wanna to play `for money reasons` - you must to do it at the tables NL50 & higher. That`s the real cash game, not the nest of junkies & monkey dudes.
From the beginning - you really feel : you play in real cash, no time for joke`s, no time for mercy & etc.
Think - you can do it, if you`re the man !
GL for you & hope you will be play really good hand`s hard & smart !
What ever form of poker, you are playing your opponents tenderizes and you have to stay focused.
I appreciate this honest post, and the good advice that followed. I get a little tilted by fatigue, and it exposes the parts of me that I need to look at in poker - and in my general psychological makeup. Playing poker has been illuminating for me, and beyond challenging. My technical game is getting very, very good, and I am not yet so blind that I can't see where I have to learn A LOT. But, I can't be trusted in cash games. I don't get mad - I get tired. So, it's freerolls for this noob. Talk about facing your demons! Good luck, with whatever you do!
Some players just like the MTT structure better than they do cash. With cash there is no rush to play and from what it sounds like you are getting bored waiting for the big hands. Why not try a super loose aggressive approach and see if this fills the void. It is a tougher strategy to master but it can be very profitable and you certainly won't find it boring. Be careful though cause you can lose your stack in a moment. Good luck on the felts!
If u feel that bad just quit it !
I want to say everyone have up n down ,no one can always win !
Do not play poker more.
Sounds like you should be in the moment when the moment is there and not other places. Focus on one or two things completely and I'm sure results will follow no matter what your focus is on. | 2019-04-21T05:12:56 | https://www.cardschat.com/f11/i-wont-play-cash-anymore-312921/ |
The development of communicating a benefit of a product, service or brand to an audience with the intent to ultimatly generate a sale.
On May 5th 2016, the Arizona Small Business Association held a conference to celebrate the start of Small Business Week and Arizona Small Business Month. I was tasked to create all the material for the event, including marketing campaigns. The event ended with a total of 700+ attendees.
Here is a collection of designs commissioned by the Blab community.
Created 2 years ago. Inspired by a presidential seal used in podiums my goal with this logo was tp reflect a Arizona political vibe. One of my favorite pieces.

PRESSURE is mounting on Theresa May to increase the nation’s military budget before it is ‘left behind’ following a demand from a top Tory minister today.
Defence minister Tobias Ellwood has said Britain needs to spend billions more on defence or risk ‘losing its place’ at the top table of international powers.
The retired army Captain was responding to a report by Britain’s defence committee which urged the government to spend at least three per cent of GDP on defence, more than the two it currently invests.
He is the latest Tory MP to back the defence secretary, Gavin Williamson, in his on-going quest to get the chancellor, Philip Hammond, and Mrs May to stump up the cash desperately needed to fill a ‘black hole’ worth billions in the military’s budget.
Speaking to the committee during a hearing in the Commons, Mr Ellwood said the campaign had become ‘undignified’ and that a more ‘reasoned, convincing and cost-effect argument’ was needed that ‘united’ opinion.
He said: ‘We need to persuade all MPs, not just 20, that a failure to invest would lead to a demise in our capabilities at the very time our world is getting more dangerous.
‘We need to persuade the treasury that the world is getting more dangerous and, with a post-Brexit economy, evermore reliant on the security and access to international markets.
He said it was important to ‘underline’ that defence posture ‘does matter’.
It, he said, allowed Britain to sit ‘with authority at the international top table’, helping the UK to ‘shape global events’.
He added: ‘We have to decide who we are in this changing and dangerous world. We need to make sure that we are a force for good as global rules are challenged.
‘I do believe we can only achieve this if we see an increase in defence spending of at least 2.5 per cent.
Dr Julian Lewis, chairman of the cross-party group of MPs, welcomed Mr Ellwood’s stance on defence funding.
He added the additional half a per cent would equate to an extra £10bn going into the defence each year, of which £8bn would go to the MoD.
The news comes a week after reports the PM asked Mr Williamson to ‘justify’ Britain remaining a tier-one military power.
The status is a confirmation of Britain’s ability to act as a top-level warfighting nation. | 2019-04-25T04:15:07 | https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/defence/britain-will-get-left-behind-if-more-money-isn-t-spent-on-defence-tory-minister-says-1-8546760 |

While the dust settles from recent website hiccups for Dumfries and Galloway Arts Festival, Callisti started populating an Arts Festival blog on Wordpress as an experimental resource.
Still been checking out the famously cheap films on iLoaded for download - some good titles in the movie download section.
Also our Annan seed potato merchant is now a Callisti SEO number one for "seed potatoes" - how about that!
Still waiting for a PageRank and a re-caching by google is the bat surveys and wildlife consultancy service but you can't get to number one overnight.
Another touchbase was the self catering log cabin down at Kippford which isn't that far from Elm Cottage in Kippford.

In the six months since the mass arrest on the Brooklyn Bridge on October 1st, the bridge has become an iconic symbol of the Occupy Wall Street movement. We marched over it on November 17th and have kept it in our sights ever since, nearly taking it again just a week ago during a night of marches demanding justice for Trayvon Martin. As we approach the half year mark and another march over the bridge, we look back. Click here to view all the stories we have published about the Brooklyn Bridge. And read our newest feature as an occupier recounts his arrest on the bridge during a first date. | 2019-04-24T06:30:41 | http://occupiedstories.com/whose-bridge-our-bridge.html |

Time for a new blog schedule! I am going to do my best to review a TpT product on Tuesdays, show you some therapy ideas on Wednesdays, and offer free/cheap resources on Friday.
We will see if I can keep up!
For my first TpT Tuesday I am reviewing: Super Strategies for Word Retrieval Deficits by the lovely, Figuratively Speeching SLP!
--A poster describing word retrieval strategies.
--A poster describing visualization strategies.
--A Superhero open-ended game to use with any of the included cards, or any of your materials.
--Two puzzles (have students earn a piece for every two or three correct responses). Glue onto cardboard or poster board then cut apart.
--Blank cards for you to customize.
I love the strategy poster! This would be great to have up on my white board or for each student to read during the activity. For example: can the student visualize, use cues they are given, think of related words or opposites to help them retrieve a word. All good things to remind myself and my student of common strategies.
Jess of Figuratively Speeching SLP really takes the time to think out each of her activities including activities for her strategies!
This one is my favorite for visualization. This reminds me of Expanding Expressions program only cuter and with more options for expressing with detail all in her own unique way!!
The cards after this poster target words that the student then visualizes! I love doing this with my students. We practice first without the strategies to see how little we come up with. Then use the poster as a cue and watch as whole descriptive paragraphs practically form themselves!
She also includes clue cards where the SLP or student reads the hints and see how long it takes everyone to guess what it is!
Also included are puzzles, game board and blank pages. Sweet!
Overall: A great buy and on sale for $4.25 (normally $5.00) get it while you can. I enjoy Figuratively Speeching SLP's packets like this because they include multiple activities that target many goals. Makes running groups easier and you get more "bang for your buck"! Promise you will not regret buy this and you will be pulling it out often! | 2019-04-22T22:52:10 | http://www.queenspeechtherapy.com/2013/04/teachers-pay-teachers-tuesday.html |

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is probably the best Star Wars movie since The Empire Strikes Back, but that doesn't mean it's without its faults. From the over the top barrage of humor to some certain things that made fans laugh or cry at the wrong time, we've collected some of the biggest gripes with Rian Johnson's first foray into the Star Wars universe. While they're not horrible offenses, they've for some reason or another left a bad taste in the mouths of fans, much like the weird green milk Luke Skywalker ingested on Ahch-To from that weird alien sea cow. Brace yourselves, there are SPOILERS AHEAD, so if you haven't seen The Last Jedi, you might want to stop reading.
One of the worst things about The Last Jedi are the Canto Bight scenes. They seem out of place, almost like George Lucas directed them and had the scenes patched into the movie without telling anybody. From a weird drunken space leprechaun feeding BB-8 gold coins to some of the lamest inhabitants of any alien planet in the Star Wars universe. It is definitely the bathroom break portion of the movie with the only saving grace being the introduction of Benicio del Toro's DJ character into the fold. Elsewhere, the Fathiers have weird almost human-like faces to prove how sad they are while some poor orphan kids clean up after them. Never mind BB-8 shooting gold coins out of himself like a bizarre machine gun. The whole scene that leads to Canto Bight turning into the nightmare of the movie is undoubtedly the parking violation. Rose and Finn get arrested for a Parking ticket? This can't be real and it truly looks like George Lucas wrote that into the script because it reeks of his style. Those fans griping that Lucas isn't represented in The Last Jedi, look no further than 2 main characters getting arrested for a parking violation at a casino. It's just plain lazy and not even humorous, except to maybe George Lucas.
Captain Phasma was promised to be a bigger character in The Last Jedi and she clearly was not. She's barely in the movie and when she is on the screen for a substantial amount of time, she apparently dies and we get to see her eye. There's no big reveal and she doesn't even seem as tough as she does in The Force Awakens, which basically means that she's another throwaway character who does all of the press and promotion for the movie, but is barely on the screen.
Another gripe about The Last Jedi is the lack of background on Supreme Leader Snoke. J.J. Abrams built the leader of the First Order to be this huge deal and Andy Serkis was telling anybody that would listen that the villainous alien is more powerful than Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. While Snoke looks amazing and Serkis' portrayal of the character is commanding, the dude gets cut in half by Kylo Ren, really easily too. So here's this big bad villain that everybody has been wondering about for 2 years and now nothing. Just cut in half with no mention of anything else.
Ok, so this might be a bit controversial, but Leia using the Force to get back to the ship after floating in space was a bit over the top. Sure, Carrie Fisher did a spectacular job, but the whole Mary Poppins (sans umbrella), gliding through space was a bit comical from a purely visual standpoint. Otherwise, it's really cool to finally see her tapping into her Force abilities, but it could've been executed a little better. George Lucas has reportedly told Rian Johnson that he can redo the scene in 20 years and re-release it into theaters along with some other touchups.
Speaking of controversy, some fans believe that the absence of Jar Jar Binks actually made The Last Jedi worse. No kidding, fans have taken to social media and bemoaned the fact that Jar Jar didn't return and save the movie from what, we just don't know. This is a real complaint about the movie and it isn't immediately understood, so we'll just let that simmer for a while and come back to it a little later. | 2019-04-20T11:12:30 | https://movieweb.com/star-wars-last-jedi-worst-parts/ |

The WiFi is the usual hotel setup: you connect to an unsecured network and the system then intercepts your first web page request and replaces it with a login screen. At first blush, this may give the impression that the system is secure, except that the username/password are put together from the name of the hotel, its street number and the word "internet". They are the same for all guests.
An insecure network is not necessarily a security problem. Rather than expect the network itself, wired or wireless, to be secure, it's better to use some sort of end-to-end scheme which will be essentially equally secure whether or not the network is. The problem comes when a component that you think is secure actually isn't.
Is that the case with a hotel WiFi? It depends. If you take the login page as an indication of security, you've got a security problem waiting to happen. If you take the totally insecure user name and password as an indication of insecurity, then no problem. Unfortunately, it's perfectly reasonable for the non-technical user -- that is to say, almost any user -- to associate passwords with security. That's what they're supposed to be there for, after all. | 2019-04-20T02:52:45 | https://blog.fieldnotesontheweb.com/2010/04/security-and-appearance-thereof.html |
I was recently treated to a preview of The Generous Pour wine event at The Capital Grille in Buckhead. The event is going on right now at all CG locations and lasts through September 4. Here's the deal: for $25 you can try as many of the nine features wines as you'd like with your dinner. This is an exceptional value for wine drinkers as the wines represent a wide price range and hail from several countries including Spain, Italy, France and Australia. The Capital Grille's master sommelier George Miliotes travelled the globe to pick out the perfect nine wines for this showcase and at the event we enjoyed a live webcast with him, including a question and answer segment. Click here to see all the featured wines as well as a short video clip featuring Mr. Miliotes. My favorite wines include the Marquis de la Tour, Cremant de Loire Brut, a sparkling wine that paired wonderfully with the appetizers we tried. I am also a huge fan of the RL Buller, The Portly Gentleman port, which I enjoyed more than any other dessert wine I've ever tried.
The food was wonderful as well. I especially enjoyed the calamari, the steak (of course) and the ice cream with strawberries. This is a wonderful way to enjoy a variety of high quality wines without buying nine entire bottles. You can have as much as you'd like of these fabulous wines for $25.
Proscuitto wrapped housemade mozzarella with vine ripe tomatoes.
Pan fried calamari with hot peppers.
Cedar-planked salmon - lovely presentation and tasty as well.
Lobster mac & cheese - heavenly and rich.
Sauteed spinach with garlic - great to have something green on the table.
Ice cream with strawberries and port reduction - so delicious with the port served as part of The Generous Pour.
Buddy, sommelier and waiter extraordinaire.

Las Palmeras is a quirky, hole in the wall Cuban restaurant tucked into Atlanta's midtown neighborhood. Although the service can be a bit slow when they are busy, the food is well worth it and the family-run place has been around for a long time. The Cuban sandwich is one of the best in the city and I also love the fruity milkshakes. The location is a bit hard to find so you should definitely print out and map and/or believe your GPS when it tells you to go down a residential street - the restaurant and attached store is the only business on the block.
We recently took my dad here and service was exceptionally slow; however, we still enjoyed our food and the view from the cozy patio. The wait was mostly on the front end, however. Once we placed our order the food came pretty quickly - it was just that initial wait for someone to take our drink order etc. that can really set the meal off on the wrong foot. It would help a lot if they could bring out some bread first off, maybe with some dip or sauce. Then the wait wouldn't seem quite as long! It appears that they often have only one waitress/server/greeter and this is way too much for one person on a busy night. Still, it's worth a try if you know in advance it might be a little slow as the food really is good.
Maduros (sweet plantains) with roasted chicken and black beans/rice mix.
The finished product - homemade for sure but there's no doubt who this is!
My favorite 8 year old requested a SpongeBob cake this year so I thought it time to try some amateur cake decorating. I used red hots as part of the shirt and cookie icing on top of homemade lemon frosting for the design. It's not the most beautiful design but it was really tasty and most importantly, the birthday girl loved it. Always fun to try something new!
A work in progress. I had to print out a photo of Bob so I could draw him on the cake! It was yellow cake with lemon frosting. I used a new recipe for the cake and it turned out moist and tasty.
Tea smoked duck with scallions and ginger.
While my dad was visiting we took a group out to Gu's Bistro, a fairly new Szechuan Chinese spot just OTP in a strip mall on Buford Highway. This is now one of my new favorites, mostly because of the unique, delicious dishes served and the huge menu. Gu's also offers dim sum set lunch meals available by reservation on some weekends. Once a large enough group makes a reservation, other smaller parties can too and the dim sum is served course by course individually, instead of on carts. I really want to do this soon! The smoked duck and cumin lamb were outstanding as was the eggplant, which had just the right level of spice without the grease that sometimes accompanies this dish. I will definitely be back. This is definitely a fun new destination in the Atlanta area.
Menu - they have a traditional Szechuan menu as well as the American favorites for your non-adventurous friends.
Cumin lamb - very spicy and delicious - not for those who can't handle a little heat!
Salt and pepper jumbo shrimp - just wondering, why no squid?!
Chengdu dumplings - Zhong style - delicious and flavorful.
Salsa Trio - mango habenero, chipotle tomatillo and avocado tomatillo. My favorite: the chipotle tomatillo - smoky with just the right spice level.
I was very excited to try Nava's new brunch menu after being invited to a special brunch event on a Friday morning back in May. I had never been to Nava before, although its Southwestern concept has always intrigued me. After trying some of the brunch items I hope to go back soon for dinner or another brunch. Everything was delicious. I especially liked the shrimp & grits taco, the Johnny cakes and the brunch-inspired cocktails. Nava is a neat place to take someone for a unique and special meal and is one of the few Southwestern restaurants in our city.
Nava Taco Trio: chipotle BBQ brisket, shrimp & grits and fish. The shrimp & grits taco was much better than I expected - I think it was the smoked tomato grits.
Johnny Cakes with smoked bacon layers and real maple syrup. So buttery and delicious.
"Bacon" & Eggs - crisp pork belly, masa goditas, chorizo, chipotle aioli, pan fried farm eggs and citrus arugula salad.
Other brunch menu items include Sonoma Jack Cheese 3 Egg Omelet with Tequila sour cream & chorizo hash browns and Salmon & Eggs with short smoked salmon, soft poached farm egg, spinach & goat cheese hash and chipotle lime hollandaise. I'd definitely like to try that salmon next time I go to Nava for brunch.
Blue jalepeno corn bread with GA peach Bellini. Other brunch cocktails include Peach Payaso, Blood Orange Mimosa and Spiced Flower.
Signature dish - seared ostrich with mushrooms and onions. This is one tasty steak, and healthier for you than beef too.
I was invited to try Tantra back in May. Located on Peachtree Road, next door to Imperial Fez, Tantra is a real treat. Calvin and I enjoyed a spectacular meal with great ambiance and service. The hummus with lamb and the scallops were my favorite dishes and the desserts were awesome too. They also offer an ostrich filet, which is very tender and delicious - something different is always fun too. This is a great special occasion place and with the lovely bar, also a nice place for drinks and appetizers or dessert!
Tasty, although a bit salty, flat bread provided at the beginning of the meal with a tasty herb butter - we liked the butter so much we had to ask for more!
Lamb tartar with shallot butter on matzah - very tasty and unique, but not as much lamb flavor as the hummus with lamb, below.
Hummus tahini with sauteed lamb - one of my favorite dishes of the evening. Absolutely delicious!
Mussels with red bell pepper coconut broth - also outstanding.
Basil Caramelized Scallops - another winner. I love this dish. Basil, scallops, whipped potatoes and greens. Yum.
Tantra has several inventive cocktails including the Tantric, left, which includes fresh thyme and Elderflower liquor.
Lemon scented Italian doughnuts + warm white chocolate cake with vanilla-lavender ice cream and berries. Both of these are wonderful and unique. I was already full when I got to the dessert course but I had to taste these anyway - so glad I did!
Espresso and Sambuca drink - great way to end the evening.
The dining room is dark, romantic and sensual - as it should be at a place called Tantra!
Homemade restaurant style salsa from The Pioneer Woman.
Served with corn tortillas, sauteed chicken and onions with avocado and sour cream. Oven baked nachos round out this delicious meal. For the oven baked nachos, spread large chips on a cookie sheet, spoon a small amount of salsa on each chip, followed by a bit of shredded cheese. Top with a jalepeno slice if desired. Then bake at 425 for 5-8 minutes until melted.
Local Three is one of my new favorites in Atlanta. Cal and I had a delicious celebratory dinner there a couple of months ago. Since then I've heard great things about their brunch from others and I am excited to go back again for lunch, brunch or dinner as the menu has changed dramatically since our visit. I'd also love to sit on the patio when it cools down again, a really nice atmosphere out there. Inside is great too, with cute photos of pigs and Elivs memorabilia throughout. Our server was on point, as were the busboys who tended to our water needs nonstop.
Highlights of dinner included the lamb sandwich, the razor clams and the dessert. If you haven't been here, go soon.
Popcorn tossed with truffle oil.
Razor clams - evening special.
Menu - the current on is quite different. View it here.
Pork with brussels sprouts and onions.
Key lime pie taste and Boston Creme Pie.
Sign out front. You could easily miss this place if you aren't familiar with the area since it's in an office park. | 2019-04-20T19:13:38 | http://amyonfood.blogspot.com/2011/07/ |
Thanksgiving is a little over a week away. In a little over a week you’re going to be sick of turkey. And cranberry sauce and gravy. But not yet. The week before Thanksgiving, we are in no way tired of turkey. And cranberry sauce and gravy.
Milk Bar is in the midst of availability for their Thanksgiving Croissant. Since 2011 the Christina Tosi creation has been selling out in all Milk Bar locations. This is the first Thanksgiving their very large 15th St. NW shop is open. Which means you’ll be able to purchase their Thanksgiving Croissant in D.C. without it selling out. I have been unable to purchase the Thanksgiving Croissant from their City Center location every year since they opened in 2015. I have been able to purchase the savory treat in 2018. So can you. So should you.
Thanksgiving is a great holiday if you have the funds to get home or friends willing to host you on the holiday. Not everyone has the funds or the friends to make the fourth Thursday in November a good turkey day. The Milk Thanksgiving Croissant is a nice way to enjoy the holiday without having to make turkey or travel to another state.
It got a little dark in that last paragraph. The holidays are a dark time. That’s why there are special cookies! And milkshakes! Sugary treats help trick you into feeling good! The Milk Bar Lab is consistently pumping out seasonal treats. On the day we visited we enjoyed a Peanut Butter Pretzel cookie and a Pumpkin Dulce de Leche MilkQuake. The Peanut Butter Pretzel cookie is not currently available (seasonal treats, remember?) but this week they added their Fruity Cereal Soft Serve, celebrating the 10th anniversary of Milk Bar.
The Milk Bar Flagship in Logan Circle is designed to make you feel good. If you need a cookie to feel good, that’s OK, get that cookie. If you want to send a cookie to make someone else feel good, that’s even better. You can do that too. I’ll be skipping the cookies. I’ll be sticking with the Thanksgiving Croissant. Oh, I love turkey on Thanksgiving. | 2019-04-22T10:00:14 | https://brightestyoungthings.com/articles/reason-to-visit-the-big-cookie-shop-thanksgiving-croissant |

Edward Deer is a relative newcomer to the local scene yet his age and experience belie the maturity of songwriting and performance on his debut album About Monsters.
Deer’s style is many faceted and on first listen many will peg him as a singer songwriter of the heart on sleeve confessional type yet this is an album that slowly unveils itself and it is the dark and mysterious corners that serve up the most rewarding moments. Deer throws in a couple of covers with Miike Snow’s Animal and the wonderful creeping, electronic dread of Tom Waits’ Clap Hands. He strips that song of its bark and bombast and transforms it into a version that wouldn’t be out of place on a Tricky record. Likewise he shape-shifts Animal into a brooding mediation on self-identity.
Deer’s own compositions follow a similar path in melancholia but not one of morose self-pity. There is a strength to his songs and their delivery, regardless of the sensitivity with which he delivers them. Please Stay shows he has a great command over his voice and knows how to use it for dramatic effect but over the course of the whole album it loses its impact as his singing begins to blend into the mass of indie troubadours out there. That being said, the life he breathes into Looking Back shows he does have the ability to carve out a niche in a post-Elliott Smith world when he gets it right.
The most rewarding aspect of About Monsters is the compositional quality of the songs and the way Deer complements his acoustic strumming with loops, strings, percussive quirks and electronic backdrops. That shows he possesses an inquisitive musical mind and as such this strong debut feels like the first glimpse of Deer’s potential. | 2019-04-20T20:50:44 | https://doubtfulsounds.net/2012/10/01/album-review-edward-deer-about-monsters/ |

Jennifer's 365 Project: 1068/365 - EXFOLIATE!
A little over a week ago after finishing up my first knitting project (blanket), I decided to try a Dalek washcloth. Yes, I do still have a scarf in progress for Chris, but it's been so warm this winter, he doesn't really need it anyway. Besides, that thing is taking forever.
This washcloth, however, is knitting up quick! I've completed the skirt and soon it will be onto the eye-stalk and finishing border.
I'm totally going to make another one of these in green. | 2019-04-23T02:54:20 | http://www.shatteredhaven.com/2012/02/1068365-exfoliate.html?widgetType=BlogArchive&widgetId=BlogArchive1&action=toggle&dir=open&toggle=YEARLY-1293858000000&toggleopen=MONTHLY-1328072400000 |

← Merry Christmas Chipalatta family!!
Looking ahead: The calm before the Astros’ storm?
A crafty old sheriff candidate in my Louisiana hometown used that slogan to compare himself to the competition en route to his first election. And it rings true in most applications, including general managers, managers and major league baseball in general.
Jeff Luhnow seems to work in spurts during the off-season. What seems to be a dry spell often turns into a three-day storm of activity and roster movement, at least historically. It’s obviously not an exact science, but Luhnow does seem to work best in bunches, at least in December and January.
He has generally been quiet between Christmas and New Year’s, but be prepared for a pickup in activity after New Year’s Day. Here’s a review of trades, free agent acquisitions, waiver wire pickups and other movement over the past few Decembers and Januarys. You’ll recognize many of the names, others not so much! Some will cause you to have a lump in your throat and others will probably make you shake your head (or throw up!).
This December has been relatively quite. Houston has traded Preston Tucker while adding to the bullpen (Hector Rondon, Joe Smith) and also adding Anthony Gose in the Rule 5 draft.
In 2016, Luhnow signed a few players with the intent of bringing them to spring training: Reid Brignac, RHP Carlos Quintero, LHP Cionel Perez among others and claimed Mike Hauschild off waivers from the Rangers.
In 2015, Houston traded for Ken Giles, traded Hank Conger to the Rays, signed a few insignificant free agents, along with that albatross contract for Tony Sipp.
There was a flurry of activity in 2014, including free agent signings of Pat Neshek, Luke Gregerson and Jed Lowrie over a three-day period. Houston drafted Jason Garcia in the Rule 5 draft, but lost Delino DeShields (Texas) and David Rollins (Seattle). There were a few other minor moves, involving players you probably wouldn’t recognize at this point.
December 2013 was quite busy, including free agent signings of Scott Feldman, Chad Qualls, Jesse Crain and Matt Albers. Umm, how did those signings work out? Luhnow also claimed Collin McHugh and Patrick Schuster off waivers after beginning the month by acquiring Dexter Fowler for Jordan Lyles and Brandon Barnes.
Last January, just a bunch of non-roster invites to players like J.D. Davis, Francis Martes, Jordan Jankowski, Jon Singleton, Derek Fisher and a bunch of players you probably wouldn’t hear from again. No free agent signings, no trades.
In 2016, the Astros invited a number of players to spring training (Alex Bregman, Colin Moran, A.J. Reed, Joe Sclafani, Derek Fisher, Jake Buchanan to name a few). Houston also signed free agents Wandy Rodriguez, Danny Worth, Doug Fister and a few others as well.
On January 13, 2015 issued spring training invitations to several non-roster players, including Nolan Fontana, Brady Rodgers, Andrew Aplin, Jordan Jankowski, Preston Tucker and others. Just a day later, Houston traded for Evan Gattis and James Hoyt, and a few days later sent Dexter Fowler to Chicago for Dan Straily and Luis Valbuena. Later in the month, Colby Rasmus signed as a free agent and sent Carlos Corporan to Texas for Akeem Bostick.
On January 14, 2014, Houston invited a few notables to spring training as non-roster players (Mark Appel, Preston Tucker, Carlos Correa, Mike Foltynewicz, Jake Buchanan, DeShields and a guy named George Springer). Otherwise, no major signings.
On January 17, 2013, Houston invited Springer, DeShields, Josh Zeid, Chris Wallace, Kevin Chapman and others to spring training. Just days later, the Astros also signed Rick Ankiel and Erik Bedard to minor league contracts with invitations to spring training.
To be sure, this December and January 2018 are very different from most others, though the Astros are likely to distribute a slew of non-roster invites next month.
There still has been no blockbuster, a number of free agents are still on the market and we haven’t heard much from Luhnow since the first half of the month.
Is it the calm before the storm? Or will Luhnow coast into spring training in no major activity?
Jeff’s ‘problem’ this year is there is simply no room at the inn. We have so many bona fide candidates for the 25 man roster that we cannot just acquire anyone else without getting rid of one or more of those candidates.
The only way to free up another 25 man roster spot is either to trade a starter [not happening -unless it’s DK (newest Boras client) or McHugh (excess starter)] OR reverse the previous announcement that Gattis is going to DH in 2018 instead of be back-up catcher this year.
– Didn’t Beltran sign in December last year?
– In my bones I feel like he is going to move someone, but in reality he would move an SP only if he picked up a darned good SP.
– I wonder if he will chase a LF candidate in FA or if he has a trade candidate in mind?
What I’ve always found with Luhnow is that rarely is a trade or signing a little bit of a surprise.
The Astros appear to be the only AL team in the playoffs in 2017 that didn’t need any major adjustments this Winter. The Yankees are improved but the Indians appear headed in the opposite direction. The Bosox and strangely the Dodgers are presently sitting on their hands. 1OP noted some this earlier. This is not a great year to be a free agent (so far). I think JL is just waiting for a little shake out in the market. On the “available ” list, there are few improvements to the current roster so no need to over pay.
Baseball Reference says December 5, 2016 for signing Beltran.
Yes, I did the research for the post the old-fashioned way and missed the Beltran signing. Indeed, he signed in early December, 2016.
I don’t see Jeff bringing someone else in to play LF against lefties unless Marisnick goes.
If Jake is in the outfield, Reddick will be spending most of his time in left. I still think Marwin is too valuable being Marwin. And if he wants to own left again in the post season, all he has to do is come somewhat close to repeating 2017.
Tyler White, Tony Kemp and Colin Moran have one option year left.
AJ Reed and Derek Fisher have 2 and JD Davis has 3.
I believe that Luhnow would like to improve LF by finding a guy similar to Reddick’s career numbers at the time we signed him, but at a lower salary and yearly commitment. In other words: a one-year guy. That would be a trade situation, most likely. Someone who comes to mind here is Hunter Pence. The Giants want to move him , but can’t because of his salary and no-trade clause. If the Astros could get SF to pay a bunch of his salary and take one of our 25 year old AAA guys who are close to ready, they could plug Pence into the lineup, while using Marwin as the super utility guy and as the DH against some righties that Gattis has trouble with. I would play Pence in RF, since he has never played LF, and move Reddick to LF where he excels.
I’m not worried about Pence’s L/R splits because they have been impeccable over the years and I would keep Jake to spell him and Reddick late in games regularly.
I believe that Luhnow would like to improve his rotation and facilitate that by moving some salaries.
Last year, as is normally the case, it took all 40 to win it all. So if JL is going for a repeat, short of injury, I don’t see how he trades DK or Margo, etc. There are few if any that would improve the team if these are at the top of their game.
And with so many in “tear down ” do you trade either to a team you have to beat?
I did not say anything about moving Keuchel or Marwin and they were not the players I was referring to. Those two are going to go into free agency after the World Series, but they are two guys I want on the team to make that WS run. They have been great but they are going to test the waters. and we had might as well make one more run with them.
That leaves no room for Fisher, Kemp, White, Reed, or Davis. That is why the only way to add a LF is to trade one of the guys listed above [Marisnick and a prospect for Pence?] ]or let Gattis be the back-up catcher and scratch Stassi.
That is a pretty tight 25-man.
I see I mis-added the position players. There is room for one more of Fisher, White, Reed, Davis, and Kemp.
Daddy, daddy! Old Pro called me a Moran!
This reminds me of a line from Home Alone 2. The parents get to the Ritz Hotel and the staff tells them they had their son Kevin there, but he got away.
You know 1OP, Pence might be the leadership addition Beltran was last year, but he also might again be the guy with the .701 OPS that he showed in 2017. At 35, Pence has always been a guy that throws himself around the field. I think I’d stay with options in house rather than bringing a guy like him in. I’ve always loved the Pence though, full effort at all times, and not blessed with the most graceful body in the game!
Unless Moran has developed some wheels and morphed into Marisnick in outfield defense skills during the off-season, Fisher looks like the better choice to me. But, as OP pointed out, Fisher does have two option years left, and Moran’s time is pretty much now or never.
I like Moran, but not in LF. I know they are going to try him there during ST, which is when they should try him there, but I think it will be a disaster even in MMP. I expect Fisher to be the primary LFer with Jake starting against many LHers rotating between giving Fisher and Reddick day off. I wish we had room for Moran to be our DH against RHers, but the 25-man roster looks too tight, barring a trade or two.
I only mentioned Moran because bill left his name off the 25-man and then off the list of extras. I think Moran has as good a chance of making the roster as any of the other bubble guys.
If Moran can hit like a big leaguer then playing him in LF (some) this spring makes sense. He’s not much different than Marwin. They probably finish pretty close to each other in a footrace. Both can play either corner infield position. Moran isn’t going to be called on to play SS for us, but he can fill in there in an emergency. He’s not making the club for defensive value, but the versatility is a bonus. If he can hit, he could make the team. If he can hit, he also becomes a valuable trade chip. There are a lot of mediocre teams and a lot of teams who are tanking right now.
Having said that…I doubt he makes the team without a torrid spring.
Last count, 29 of the top 50 FA are not signed. Looks like a buyer’s market. So JL might take a shot at someone on the list if only for a 1 year deal.
It’s just hot stove speculation, but in this chat with Jason Martinez of mlbtraderumors.com – he says that Brad Hand fits best with the Astros and later on he speculates they would not need to include Whitley or Tucker in a package for him – maybe a package centered around J.B. Bukauskas or Rogelio Armenteros.
I’d much rather trade Armenteros than Bukauskas. If we can get Hand in a trade centered around Armenteros I’m all in.
They don’t need Brad Hand. Just sign Darvish and move LMJ to the bullpen. LMJ has been great against LH batters in his career and was even better against them in 2017.
This way, they have another TOR starter to partner with Keuchel and Verlander in 2018, and a second TOR pitcher locked up for long term to replace Keuchel when he exits in free agency.
This move would allow them to have LMJ, Giles, Devenski, Musgrove and Peacock in their bullpen for all their pre-arb and arb years years and keep all of their pitching prospect for the post-Keuchel/Morton years. Give me those five guys along with Smith and Rondon and I can match anyone’s bullpen.
This one move also puts Feliz, Paulino, Martes, Rogers, Deetz, Armenterosback in AAA to allow them to become better starting pitchers and we can choose from the best of them to add to the major league rotation, as Whitley, Perez, Bukauskas get ready.
OP, LMJ certainly has the tools (good fastball, good off-speed) to be successful in the pen. And, he probably has the mental makeup. Just not sure if he has the physical makeup…meaning, can he pitch on back-to-back days or even every other day?
I remember being around college ball a lot and some pitchers just couldn’t do it. And, it’s not necessarily something that can be trained, it’s just the physical makeup of a pitcher’s arm. Often, those pitchers had to make it as a starter or not at all.
The Astros already know the answer to that question and it may be why they’ve resisted the move, even publicly. If he did move to the pen, you’d assume he would eventually/ultimately be headed for the closer role. Just a thought.
So far in his career he is looking like a guy who can’t handle a big load of innings as a starter.
Maybe he hasn’t developed a pitching style that would allow him to pitch 165-180 innings a year, but whose fault is that? His stuff is too good for him to not be able to be a starter or a reliever. Somehow, there has to be a spot for him to succeed with such good stuff.
OP, no doubt that Houston should have a place for him. NO doubt. Indeed, he has the stuff. My only question is does he have the physical makeup that will allow him to pitch back-to-back days in a closer-like or setup role.
I’d have to look deeper, but how much of the low innings in recent years is a result of injury and how much is a precaution by management and how much is just a result of circumstances with other pitchers, etc?
I posted about a month ago why I’m skeptical that Brad Hand will continue to be so successful. I’d rather hold my prospects and try to acquire him in July. The only reason I’d part with anyone now is to prevent one of our rivals from acquiring his services. There is no reason a lack of a dominant lefty should prevent this team from being in first place at the All Star break with a healthy lead.
I definitely don’t buy into the need for a left hander out of the bullpen. As long as you have guys that can get LHers out I don’t care if they are LH or RH. The Astros played their best baseball last year with Sipp being the only LH in the pen, but they had guys like Harris or Devo that were very adept at getting LHs out. I’m definitely on board with getting Darvish, as OP mentioned above, but McCullers is on record saying he wants to start. Maybe they move Morton to the bullpen and McHugh is the 5th starter. Morton defied his career splits last year and was good at getting out LHs. I trust he can continue to do so. A bullpen of Giles, Smith, Devo, Harris, Rondon, Peacock, Morton and Sipp looks very formidable to me. Of course, subbing in LMJ for Morton is just as good if they can convince Lance he is really needed out of the bullpen.
Another thought to consider, especially with the idea that Jake Arrieta and Yu Darvish seem to be wanting/expecting five or six year contracts.
It’s been a while since the Astros have had a really bad big contract. Think Carlos Lee. Luhnow has been fairly good at keeping those bigger deals manageable. Now, he’s entering a different phase of his GMship and must become very calcuating in that realm. One or two bad deals for one of the young guns, Keuchel or a free agent could turn things around quickly and hamstring the organization.
Darvish and Arrieta are pushing 32 and Dallas himself turns 30 next week. That means they’d need to pitch effectively into their mid-to-late 30s to warrant a big five or six year deal (which all of them will likely get!). Do you want to pay any of those pitchers $20-$25 million on their 35th, 36th or 37th birthdays?
It seems that the majority opinion here is that Keuchel will be gone next year or even this summer. Am I reading this correctly? I understand it but do we think he’ll want to much on a long term contract to even consider? Just curious.
Methinks it will depend largely on Boras’ approach and how much of a hit Luhnow will take. With Springer, Altuve and others coming up for big contracts in the near future (2-4 years), Luhnow will have to weigh his productiveness vs. the mega deal. Like I asked above, do you want to be paying Keuchel $20 million when he’s 35, at the same time you need to ante up for Springer, Altuve, Keuchel, Bregman et al?
Wow Keuchel gets paid twice!
Zman, I think DK stays all year and then it is wait and see. Just don’t think it is wise to dump DK if you are trying to repeat.
Yes, unless this season falls completely off the rails, which is highly unlikely, I don’t see any way they trade Keuchel. They’ll just give him a QO and take the draft picks if he signs elsewhere.
So many tantalizing thoughts. I still think Luhnow will do something significant, but only if the deal is a not giving away the house kind of move. Right now, we’re a better team than we were last year. So if we go to war with the present group, I’ll be confident.
I like Hand, but would it be worth it with all the guys we’ve got already? Tim, I like Armenteros. He’s one guy I’d like to see pitch in an Astro uniform. I don’t see a place for Moran unless he quickly develops great instincts in left, to overcome his lack of mobility. Yelich is the kid I’m still excited about. He’s one guy I’d be okay with giving up significant talent for. Even Tucker. Yelich is guaranteed. And our further improved outfield would really make some other clubs feel depressed.
Losing any of the ones from 16-25 [including Keuchel] to FA, or trading them away, would not feel like a significant setback to me.
I think Luhnow will go after Lance Lynn, or back to my first choice Chris Archer. Darvish and Arrietta are both taking the oxygen out of the room for a guy like Lynn. THAT might be the big move Luhnow makes in the next month. There are more than one option for left field, I’m not worried about that. But I want Marwin to be what he is, a jack of all trades, not in left for 90% of the year. By the end of this season he was pretty worn out. And I don’t rule out Luhnow trading for Brad Hand……but probably won’t happen until the break.
As high strung as McCullers is, I can’t think he would be ok getting taken out of the rotation….just say’n.
* In his first spring training with the club, Bregman’s slash was .087/.292/.087/.279 and he had 9 Ks in 23 abs and was quickly sent to minor league camp.
* After the All-Star break in 2017 Bregman slashed .315/.367/.536/.903 with 11 HRs and 44 RBIs. If he were to do that in the first half of 2018, does he make the All-Stat team?
* With the Astros lineup the way it is, is it possible that no one gets to 100 RBIs again this season and still have the team lead the major leagues in RBIs.?
* The contract Wade Davis signed with the Rockies is 3/52million. That is stupid money for a reliever. No way the Astros would pay that for a for a guy who is 32. Tony Sipp was a cheap lesson.
* MLBTR was not too high on Lance Lynn’s 5.65 innings per start in 2017, noting that was 42nd among starting pitchers who pitched at least 100 innings. LMJ has averaged only 5.6 innings per start for his entire career.
op i think its possible no one gets to 100 rbi’s again, but if correa plays a full year, i think he will get there.
Since I like to have “fun with numbers”, given what Wade Davis is getting, and applying those numbers to Ken Giles, he should be getting 18.2MM per year. Boy don’t that just scare the daylights out of you?
Re: Alex Bregman. I think he is ready for a major, breakout year – and yes, an All-Star selection is definitely something that I see as being within the realm of possibilities. The big question I have is where is Hinch going to let him settle in the line-up. I like him at #2 [between Springer and Altuve] or at #6 [between Gurriel and McCann].
Re: RBIs. Last year we had 8 guys with over 6o RBIS, 7 with over 70, and 5 with over 80. If the guy in front of your 2-7 hitters clears the bases frequently, you aren’t likely to have anybody drive in 100. But . . . well . . . who really cares?
Re: McCullers. Either Lance is an ace waiting to find his rhythm and learn how to get strikeouts and weak contact on his fastball as well as his curve -or he is a closer waiting for Hinch to give up on Kenny Giles. If he can just stay healty, I t think we’ll find out this year.
Re: Wade Davis and the Rockies. Friends around the campfire, and everybody’s high . . . rocky mountain high. There. Is. No. Other. Explanation.
Happy New Year to all and here’s hoping 2018 brings a two-peat.
This chart I am linking is a great assessment device. The top teams are lurking, waiting to see if they can get one or two more players that could put them at or nearer the top.
Once you get the chart, you can click on the team’s name and it will show you how they arrived at the WAR ranking projections. Of interest is the projections for the Astros’ defense, in which only their catchers and RF are above average defensively(I just don’t get this!).
The Astros have the best offense, the second best starting rotation and the fourth best bullpen in the majors. They lack in the DH projections and the LF projections as far as WAR is concerned.
The big elephant in the room is the 67+ WAR still out there in the form of free agents and the top teams are waiting to jump at some of that WAR if they see true +value there.
I had a switcheroo in my analysis. The Astros actually project to have the #4 rotation and the #2 bullpen.
Damn, IOP, those defensive rankings are more horse dookie. I’ll keep our average defenders!
And the Astros played better defensively in each playoff series than their opponents did, according to MLB stats.
A little off subject but……DAAANG IT’S COLD!!!
* I believe the Zack Greinke contract is going to haunt the D’backs for years.
* The Astros County Sunday story of the intertwining of Hurricane Harvey, Justin Verlander and the Houston Astros is amazing! I was in tears by the end of it.
* Jayson Stark’s “Strange But True Facts” for 2017 is also a wonderful read.
* I literally love the Houston Astros.
* How are the Houston Rockets doing without Chris Paul?
Why on Greinke? Year one was a disappointment, but year 2 was not. Wouldn’t one like David Price jump out more, or the trade for Shelby Miller if you are honest in on Arizona?
We affectionately called him “Cockroach”, who was he? No fair trying to look it up!! Daveb knows what his real name is, and so do a whole lot of you!
Happ New Year everyone. January 1st means one thing…….pitchers and catchers will report the middle of N E X T month! WOOO-HOOO!!!!
In West Indian dialect, me no no!
Happy New Year to all and Becky, I’m with you…only 6 more weeks without baseball. Kind of like Groundhog Day.
Happy New Year to World Series Champs Astros, who defeated de Red Sox, defeated de Yankees, defeated de Dodgers. And to you fans, who are delightful, delovely, delimit (and DeSoto?).
Happy New Year! Let’s go for a repeat.
Becky – we are getting old and are forgetting where are glasses are and the names of our grand children. Plus some of us – like me – don’t go back the whole 10 years.
So who is cockroach? Bopert?
Anyways – Happy New Year to all who enter here!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! and one more example of the power of chipalatta – since chip put falling snowflakes in the background it has SNOWED twice in Austin. unheard of.

Arianespace and D-Orbit announced today the signature of an agreement to offer InOrbit NOW launch and deployment service through the launch of D-Orbit’s ION CubeSat Carrier on the Vega launch vehicle, as part of the Small Spacecraft Mission Service (SSMS) Proof Of Concept flight (POC flight).
Arianespace’s launch contract with D-Orbit includes a significant number of CubeSats with an overall separated mass of about 100 kg. Positioned in a sun-synchronous orbit at 500 km., ION CubeSat Carrier will deploy the hosted CubeSats along the orbit over a period of approximately one month. After completing the CubeSat deployment phase, ION CubeSat Carrier will initiate the inorbit validation phase of payloads directly integrated on the platform.
The Vega POC flight will be the first mission of the SSMS, a modular carbon fiber dispenser, a program initiated by ESA in 2016, with the contribution of the European Commission. For all the European partners involved, its purpose is to address the burgeoning institutional and commercial small spacecraft market with a new rideshare concept.
Vega is part of the Arianespace launcher family, alongside the Ariane 5 heavy launcher and the Soyuz medium launcher, operated from the Guiana Space Center. Based in Colleferro, Italy, Avio is the industrial prime contractor for Vega.
“We are honored D-Orbit selected us to launch the InOrbit NOW payload on the Vega’s Small Spacecraft Mission Service (SSMS) Proof of Concept flight. It is the first time our two companies have collaborated on a launch, and we fully plan to justify their confidence in us. Arianespace is proud to offer innovative launch solutions targeting the fast-growing smallsat market segment and enabling the success of CubeSat integrators and technology demonstrators. Our Vega is perfectly adapted to deliver for this promising market,” said Stephane Israël, CEO of Arianespace. | 2019-04-26T04:05:00 | http://www.arianespace.com/press-release/arianespace-and-d-orbit-sign-contract-to-launch-ion-cubesat-carrier-on-vega-ssms-poc-flight/ |

On Saturday, 2 September 2017, over one hundred athletes participated in Race 11 of The Beast Challenge obstacle-course race (OCR) at The Wedge 4×4 Trail in Muldersdrift.
The Beast offers 3 levels of participation. The first level is the “Tame Beast”, a 5km course with around 15 obstacles. This is suitable for anyone over the age of eight who is not necessarily fit, but looking to have fun.
Level 2 is the “Wild Beast” and consists of a 10km course with around 30 obstacles for the fitter, more competitive athletes. This intermediate race is a tough challenge that requires some strength, a good degree of fitness and training.
Level 3 and most difficult is the “Savage Beast”, a demanding test for elite athletes. With over 50 obstacles stretching over 15km, this event pushes competitors’ mental and physical limits.
2016 OCR Champion and currently ranked #1 on the OCR rankings leaderboard, Thomas ‘BeastMode’ van Tonder (Jeep Team SA), raced in the gruelling Savage Beast, claiming an unbeaten eleventh title.
Van Tonder crossed the line in 01:18:02, a minute ahead of second-place finisher, Bradley Claase. Rounding off the men’s podium was Marius Smith, who finished in 01:34:15.
All three men have been selected as part of the South Africa Team to compete at 2017 Obstacle Course Racing World Championships will be held at October 13-15 at Blue Mountain Resort in Ontario, Canada. Van Tonder and Smit will be competing in the PRO class, while Claase will be competing in age group category 25 – 29.
Jeep Team triathlete, Michael Lord, continued his winning form at the inaugural Dirtopia Ride and Run Challenge at DelVera Farm in the Stellenbosch winelands.
Lord won the Challenge, a 20km MTB and 7.5km trail run, along trails and single-track through the DelVera vineyards and neighbouring farms, ahead of Dylan Janos in second and Quinten van der Merwe.
“I’m chuffed to win the inaugural Dirtopia Ride and Run Challenge. I’m confident my training is going really well for the upcoming Clanwilliam Triathlon on the 30th of September,” said Lord. | 2019-04-20T15:18:02 | http://mype.co.za/new/van-tonder-is-crowned-king-of-the-beast-after-eleven-straight-wins/93146/2017/09 |

Even if NAVIT is highly portable, a few platforms can't be supported. Here we explain why.
In general we need an possible C compiler target for our code and all included libs (see dependencies) and of course a device with enough resources.
Phones in the pre-smartphone area supported third-party applications with the limited java mobile edition. Unfortunately this excludes native C development that NAVIT requires.

Freshwater fishing can be one of the most exciting sports one participates in just as it can be a most relaxing hobby for others. With the abundance of freshwater fisheries in almost every corner of the globe, there will be at least a few fishermen to fish those waters. That being said, by understanding the immediate environment and species you are fishing for, you have dramatically increased your chances of success. There are a few other tips and tricks to keep in mind when you are out on the river, lake, stream, or pond. Also, understanding what gear you will need for different circumstances is another great way to target fish with a purpose instead of blindly casting away. By keeping a few methods and tactics up your sleeve, your style and rate of success will increase over time making you a much better fisherman.
For many people in the United States, a pond may be the easiest and most convenient way to get in a few casts each day or week. Pond fishing can be great depending on what types of species are present in the pond. For instance, larger ponds have the ability to hold larger fish such as large mouth bass and catfish. Catfish and large mouth bass will need some structure as well as depth, so smaller ponds may hold very small numbers of those fish. Smaller sized ponds hold bream, perch, crappie, and a few other fish. If the pond you are going to seems to be smaller than half of a football field, these are the fish you will encounter the most although it may contain a few smaller large mouth bass. When going to ponds such as these, be sure you have a few spoons, plastic worms, and spinners. For those who enjoy using live bait, earthworms should do the trick.
There are many fish that can be caught in the larger rivers. Fish such as large mouth bass, small mouth bass, bream, crappie, large catfish, and even trout can be found in larger rivers. The tackle needed to catch these fish is very similar to those in a pond although your retrieve will be slightly different. Instead of throwing towards structure in ponds, river fishing requires the angler to fish currents and sloughs. Sloughs are impressions under the water that have been dug deep by a constant current running across them. Normally, in front of the slough is a waterfall of some degree. The water falling from the fall carves the slough over time and fish will tread deep in these sloughs waiting for bait fish to be swept over the water fall above. Areas such as these require a good deep diving plug such as a plastic crayfish. These crayfish have a lowered lip that when retrieved the water rushes over the lip and dives the plug deep into the water. The faster you retrieve them, the deeper they go, which can put them down where in the lower portion of the slough where fish may be waiting.
Lake fishing is almost exactly like pond fishing if you do not have a boat. Lake fishing uses the same techniques as pond fishing although fish can be substantially larger. A great area to look for when fishing a lake on foot is to find a spot where trees have fallen or hang low over the water. Fish will seek shade to avoid hot temperatures and many times low over hanging trees have limbs submerged underneath the water. Be wary in these spots, however, because debris in the water can cause you to lose your rig. | 2019-04-24T04:52:17 | https://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/reviews/freshwater-fishing-tips-and-techniques-by-gene-kugach/ |

I love having a fantastic imagination. And being an author allows me to dive deep into the aspects of the world that surrounds us.
Say what you will, but nothing is better to me than creating your own reality.
In actual aspect, I use my roleplaying background a lot when I write. You have to consider every side of the story and your characters, make sure the atmosphere fits what you like to write. Hope you’ve caught all your errors, that everything fits the tools you've given them.
How much do you reveal to the audience? How much do you hide?
One aspect I know I need improvement in is describing the world. How do you describe the color blue to a blind man? How do I get you to see the hairy orc, drool dripping through his fangs standing next to an ant the size of a man. How do I show them conversing with different voices? How do you show their different voices?
There are a million different ways, and none of them work for everyone, though all of them work for someone.
There's outlining, planning, setting up your planned chapters, knowing where you want the plot to go. Mapping all the characters, keeping it all in order, and saving your characters(or abandoning them) to bring it all to a close.
There are thousands of formulas and programs available to help.
Genre makes a difference as well. A space opera needs to feel like a space opera. Steampunk needs tons of steam powered machines everywhere. Cyberpunk is going to be shrouded by the background of technology. If you're writing a love story that takes place on a beach.
Make sure once you have an environment, you stick to it!
If your characters have no growth, no one is going to care about them.
There needs to be hardship, struggle, choices that make them into a changed person.
I am a pantser. I never really know what's coming next in my stories. I tried planning a whole book once, it ended up 40 pages shorter than I wanted. It took a lot of development and editing to get it where it is, and while it was fun, I couldn't really write anything else until I moved on. Some people live in the madness of editing, I am not one of these people.
I write a chapter at a time, looking at the world around my characters and considering it dynamic. There are random encounters, strange people, and a million little things I don't think I could plan.
And yet some people are the exact opposite. They plan it all from beginning to end, covering every meticulous detail, one step at a time.
The point is, no matter what you do, your going to develop your own style. Have fun with it, look to constantly learn. Remember no one knows it all, even those at the top.
As for keeping the character voices and identities in order, you need to keep them grounded in what they are. A little girl shouldn't be selling weed to high school kids, unless they're meant to and it fits the story. Your robots should follow logic protocols, unless you have a reason for them not to. A hive mind will move in unity, unless you give them a reason not to. And a man’s heart isn't always through his stomach.
Treat them like real people, because they are. If someone close to them dies, they’re going to go through the stages of grief(psychopaths excluded).
I admit I act mine out. My friends look at me like I'm insane when I start asking them about insane situations.
Draw on the people and loved ones that surround you, even as you slowly drive them insane. | 2019-04-19T08:36:38 | https://www.supportindieauthors.org/featured-articles/2018/1/13/story-lines-and-world-building |
She’s here, she’s finally here. Our darling girl Taya Louise was born on Monday 4th February. At 38 weeks and 6 days she was brought earth side in a planned c section and took her first breaths at 2.36pm in the afternoon.
I’ve been so looking forward to writing this post and am pleased I’ve not had to wait too long to feel well enough to sit down and do it. Having read back over my birth story with Amelia (read it here) I can’t believe how different this experience has been.
After the emergency situation and the awful recovery last time I decided to opt for a planned c section; simply to eliminate the chance of finding myself in another emergency. We were booked in for 4th February and arrived at the hospital for 7am.
It’s a very strange feeling knowing that you’re going to have a baby but you don’t know when, nothing is happening in your body, there’s no gradual build up of contractions or early labour, there are no signs that your hormones are changing to get ready for birth. You just feel the same but you know that everything is about to change.
Unfortunately we were the last of the families to be taken for our section so it was 1.30pm on Monday before we were taken down to theatre. Before we started that walk all I could think about was how hungry I was having been Nil-by-mouth for getting on for 15 hours. As soon as we started heading to theatre though the reality hit me.
I was about to have major surgery; I’d opted to have this major surgery and suddenly it was terrifying.
The midwives and staff in the Theatre were incredible; it was a completely different atmosphere this time. There were about 7 ladies taking part in the procedure compared to around 15-20 people standing by last time. It also turned out that one of the trainee midwives is a mum from the nursery we go to. It was only when she asked me how Amelia was and I looked at her really blankly like how do you know about Amelia? That she said she was Alice’s mummy from nursery. I didn’t recognise her with her surgical mask on and was then suddenly very aware that all sort of things were out on display and here was a lady I was going to see again, regularly.
I was asked to sit up on the table and put my feet on a stool, my spine needed to be completely still for them to administer the spinal anesthetic but it was really hard to keep still because I couldn’t stop shaking. The spinal didn’t hurt, the initial numbing spray was cold, so incredibly cold but I didn’t really feel any discomfort from the injections. That could be because it didn’t hurt or it might have been that I was having a bit of a panic attack about the whole thing and I was just trying to breath and keep still.
Once I was laying down the feeling in my legs started to go; it was the weirdest sensation. Horrible actually, like the strongest pins and needles I’ve ever felt rushing up and down my whole body. The midwife asked if I could move my legs, or could I lift one leg off the table. I couldn’t and she said that was a good thing.
At this point they raised the curtain to block our view and I went into complete panic mode, my whole body was shaking uncontrollably, I remember darting my eyes around the room looking at all the different people and equipment, I felt tears running down into my ears and all I could do was try to take really deep breaths.
The doctor asked if I was cold; I wasn’t cold at all. It was fear; fear that they were going to start operating and I would feel something, that I wouldn’t be numb enough or something wouldn’t be right and I would feel it. The surgeon announced that the catheter had been fitted successfully; I didn’t feel a thing and that helped me to calm down. I realised that everything actually was ok on the other side of the curtain.
Kev and I talked; about Taya’s name, about how different it was to when we had Amelia, we talked about how Amelia had been when she was born, how she had screamed the place down and been so angry grabbing at the blankets and clinging on to things when they tried to wrap her up. We looked back at some photos on our phone from her delivery and then I heard the cry.
2.36pm on Monday 4th February.
The very first cry as they lifted her out, the curtain was lowered just enough for us to see her but I could only see her bum and bits; she was definitely a girl. She was all white and sticky with vernix and the nurses took her to the cleaning and weighing station that was actually in view for us this time. We just watched as they checked her over and wrapped her up before bringing her to me for skin to skin.
There was music playing; it was Smooth FM and I remember hearing songs from Adele, George Micheal, and when I held Taya in my arms for the first time the song Lady in Red was playing but I couldn’t think of the artists name at the time.
I had asked specifically to be able to hold her this time as I wasn’t able to with Amelia and I think it was a bonding moment that we really missed out on. From the moment they wrapped her in towels and placed her in our arms she didn’t make another sound, her eyes were closed and she was content. I held her until my arms were aching from the odd position on the table and then I passed her to Kev. She didn’t stir or make a peep, they just sat there together whilst we waited for the surgeons to finish putting me back together.
Taya was weighed and although she looked smaller than Amelia had she was actually heavier; 7lbs 13oz which I was a bit shocked about and kept thinking how big would she have been if she’d have been allowed to come naturally when she was ready.
After the surgery was completed we were taken to recovery and we did the first feed. The nurses helped me to latch her and I made sure they knew how important getting the latch right was for me this time after making a mess of it with Amelia in the first 24 hours. They promised lots of support back on the ward which they delivered on so that was great.
Taya fed like a star; she latched on the first time and was there for a few minutes whilst the nurses did some paperwork and got ready to take us back to the ward. I feel like our success in feeding for that first time has a lot to do with the birth; Taya was so calm and quiet from the moment she was born whereas Amelia had come out screaming and never stopped. By the time we reached recovery with Amelia she was so worked up that getting her latched on correctly was difficult.
This time around, I was calm, my body wasn’t in a state of shock and my baby was quiet and content and ready to feed. It all makes such a difference to everything else being successful.
Once we were back on the ward I demanded (as nicely as I could) that we waive the one hour no food rule because I honestly thought I might pass out if I didn’t eat something. It was 4pm at this point; 2 and a half hours since our section had begun and was getting on for 19 hours with no food. The midwife agreed to get me some toast as long as I promised to nibble it slowly so that it didn’t make me sick.
I didn’t nibble it slowly! I ate that toast so fast and it was the best slice of toast in the whole world.
A little while later my parents and Amelia came to visit, I so desperately wanted them to meet Taya on Monday and not have to wait until the following afternoon; I had been so emotional when I left the house in the morning that I needed to see Amelia. I had cried my eyes out when I left her; she kept asking me why I was crying and if I was sad which just made me cry more so I really needed to see her that day and give her the best cuddle I could given the circumstances.
They came to see us around 5pm, I could sit up in bed but had no feeling in my lower body. Amelia was very overwhelmed by the hospital and whilst she sat nicely to eat some snacks and open her gift from her sister she started to get bored and wanted to touch everything and open all the curtains which wasn’t ideal.
She paid a little attention to her sister, she touched her head and recognised when she made little sounds and cries but really she was more interested in her colouring book and snacks.
We were conscious not to make things too weird for Amelia and ruin her routine so everyone left me in the hospital about 6.30pm to take Amelia home for her bath and bed. It was weird suddenly being alone but not being able to move, the lovely midwife got the pleasure of the first poo so Kev got out of it this time around.
I made the decision that since I couldn’t get up to reach the cot, I would just sit with her on my chest and do skin to skin as long as I was awake. I would ask for help to put her back to bed when I wanted to sleep but other than that we sat up all evening just cuddling and feeding.
It was about 10.30pm that evening when they told me I needed to try and get up; this was the scary bit. Could I get up? Would it hurt? Would I feel like my insides were about to fall out? The answer to all of that is Yes. Getting up was hard work, the walk to the bathroom was enough to send my blood pressure dropping and I had to sit down in the toilet whilst the midwife put cold flannels on my neck because I was going to faint.
We did eventually manage to get dressed and brush my teeth; she helped me to put on my knickers and nightshirt being careful not to pull the catheter or dislodge the cannula in my hand. The walk back to the bed sent me dizzy again and I sat by the open window for a few minutes whilst they fetched me a cheese and pickle sandwich and a carton of orange juice to help bring my blood sugars up.
The rest of the night was very calm, we slept and fed and slept and fed until the morning. We were seen by the baby check up team who tested her hearing and did the little full body check up on her which she passed with flying colours.
We were almost ready to be sent home on Tuesday afternoon when the paediatric team decided they wanted to carry out the ultrasound on her cyst the following day and it would be better if we stayed so that we were ready when they had space for us.
Another night in the hospital was ok; it was a cluster feeding all night long kinda night. We napped in the chair for 40 mins at around 3am but it was 6.30am before I actually got into bed and went to sleep. I was woken up for the drugs round at 8am and we saw the doctors for the ultrasound later that morning. The scan went well, they were able to see the cyst and measure it and advised us to come back in 4 weeks time for another scan to check if it is reducing in size or whether treatment will be needed.
We didn’t learn anything we didn’t already know but it has at least got the ball rolling and we will be able to monitor it now and hopefully see some improvements next time we scan her.
Later that afternoon we were discharged and allowed to go home to start our life as a family of 4.
I really can’t put into words just how different the experience as been this time around; the calm and peaceful surgery has made the whole thing so much easier. Recovery is going very well but I’m careful not to jinx it or overdo it.
Taya is a dream so far, we’ve had a few nights of major cluster feeding to get my milk supply to come in but we seem to have turned a corner with that today and we’re enjoying time together at home; cuddles and snuggles and lots of milk. | 2019-04-19T11:08:17 | http://rachelebuehi.com/taya-louise-my-birth-story |

I prefer typing. I cannot write neat and fast by hand.
And I'm sure mouth-writing would be very uncomfortable.
I prefer typing, as my handwriting has been overly messy for as long as I remember.
While I like the feeling of writing with a nice pen, my wrists get tired easily and my handwriting has always been messy unless I write really slow. I prefer typing a lot more.
I prefer the nice organic simplicity of writing by hand. It's more personal than a computer or typewriter and interesting handwriting can be fun to look at. It also affords the writer the option of changing things up between printing and cursive styles, or even shorthand if one is so-versed. Most keyboards I use have the keys too close together and I make a lot of typos as a result, which gets annoying when I have to keep going back to fix them. I guess I just prefer the old fashioned way of doing things.
There seems to be a distinct lack of stone tablet and chisel in the options.
Seriously though, I prefer both handwriting and typing. Typing is useful for drafting stories quickly and you can go back and correct notes without having to dash or scribble lines through things to make adjustments or corrections. Keeps everything tidy. As for handwriting, I've always loved the personal touch of it. A hand written letter has more charm than a typed one I find. I always make sure to keep using the traditional pen and notepad to make sure that I never let my handwriting deteriorate.
I prefer typing. I feel like it is much easier.
I do both. I have no preference. It also depends on the situation. When I am at the university, I usually write with my hand (homework or notes from the lectures for example). But when I wrote a letter, a scientific report (from an excursion for example) or a message, I type them on my computer. The advantages for typing is that it is easier, that my hand hurts not with the time and everybody can read what I wrote (what is not common for me when I have to write really fast ... what I must do usually in the university). But the advantage for hand-writing is that I can write better and faster some mathematical, chemical or physical symbols and formulas and that I can make some sketches.
I prefer typing, mainly because it's a lot faster. It's also easier to go back and fix typos, legibility doesn't prove problematic like in handwriting, no need to try countless pens to find one that isn't dry – I can't think of any way I'd consider handwriting the better of the two.
Honestly I prefer typing cause it's quicker.
Typing : If I can get my hands on any gadget and I have time, at home, or in a safe place to use such as a private car, and I want to type and organize my thoughts neatly then yes.
Handwriting: If I can’t type and I need quick notes that doesn’t include wasting some seconds of just opening my phone and an app, and the danger of being robbed, plus if it’s only for noting messily.
I almost always prefer typing. My handwriting is horrible and I get cramps in my hand after I write too much. Also it is much faster for me, because I can type pretty fast.
Typing. If I make a mistake I don't have to scribble it out and I don't get hand cramps.
I prefer typing, I have messy handwriting and making mistakes while typing is way easier to fix. I'm also faster at typing anyways.
Typing. I cant handwrite well due to my disabilities .
Typing of course, my handwriting is utterly horrible and I despise writing things by hand.
Typing. Mostly because my hand writing is bad and I type far more frequently than I write.
Typing because I hate reading handwriting unless it's readable.
I always prefer typing but I will also sometimes hand write stuff like a draft for something.
Typing; it's faster, easier to correct when mistakes are made and makes what I write readable.
My handwriting is atrocious so typing all the way. | 2019-04-23T16:34:27 | https://mlpforums.com/topic/67221-handwriting-or-typing-which-do-you-prefer/page/7/ |
I’ve been playing around and tried something sort of new to me. We all know the ‘acid wash’ designs right? I’ve done a blue mani by using that technique before (view it here). This is basically the same technique but a little different… if that makes sense. I tried to make a picture tutorial for you guys but the neon colors made that impossible. So I’m just gonna try to explain how I’ve created this. Alright, first a picture: It’s way easier to create this design than it looks! Really!
1. Start with a white base and seal it with a top coat. The last is important to prevent smudging while swiping.
2. After the base color is completely dry use two or three neon shades and a make-up sponge to create a gradient effect. I chose to create different gradient designs with different colors on each nail to make it a bit more playful. Give it time to dry completely.
3. Paint all of your nails completely black and let it dry.
4. Now comes the fun but time consuming part. Fill a small cup with nail polish remover and grab a medium sized nail art brush. Make sure that your brush is saturated with nail polish remover and get ‘painting’ by repeatedly swiping of small strokes of black polish. Be gently!
It’s best to wipe your brush clean on a lint free pad after each stroke in order to prevent your cup of polish remover getting to dirty 😉 Also, don’t use ‘regular’ cotton pads for this because they have the tendency to give you a ‘hairy/fluffy’ mani.
5. Give the design time to dry a bit. Then use your clean (!) nail art brush and fresh nail polish remover to swipe over the stripes again to make them even more bright. Add a top coat and you’re ready to go 😀 So girls, are you gonna give these a try? If you have any questions or whatsoever, don’t hesitate to leave a comment! I’d love to see yours!
Oh and I really could use your opinion! I’m struggling with which background I like better for my pictures. Black or white. What do you think?
Once in a while I head over to Pinterest for inspiration. You can find lots of amazing nail designs over there. A while back I came across a gorgeous geometric design that I used as my inspiration for this mani. I started this mani with two coats of white polish (Purity by Zoya). After that was completely dry I created some geometric shapes with a thin nail art brush and a black polish (Liquid Leather by China Glaze). Then I filled in the white spaces with red, pink, yellow, blue and green polish (see below) and finished with one coat of Seche Vite. For those who would like to see a tutorial of this design: I’m waiting for a tripod to arrive so that I can (try) make a video 😀 I tried to make a photo tutorial but I’m not happy with the result.
What do you think of this mosaic design?
Just wondering: anyone else that has NO CLUE what to do for tomorrows challenge (family)? | 2019-04-19T13:15:44 | https://polishalcoholic.com/tag/nailart/ |

The Downtown Albuquerque Rail Runner and Amtrak Stations are currently located on a viaduct with the platforms directly above the Alvarado Transportation Center. One of ABQ Ride's (the local bus systems) main bus stations downtown. Amtrak and Rail Runner don't actually share the same platforms, but are both on the same rail line. Amtrak's simple side platform has another concrete platform just across the closest side track is due south of the Rail Runner platform that is also only a side platform that has the typical Rail Runner platform features of a pueblo style platform shelter and the Tall post with the station name symbol and bird at the top of it. Rail Runner has no station building of it's own (although the Transportation Center does have simple computer printouts of its schedule). The Amtrak Station is shared with the greyhound station that is also here. Its ticket counter is across from the Greyhound one. The Amtrak station's location within the greyhound station is extremely recent. I saw the closed former stand-alone Amtrak station in it's own building within the transportation center.

Look, it’s a Fans! strip! Written by T Campbell and Jason Waltrip usually, and also here. No, this isn’t a Sunday strip. All Fans! strips are full pages. So, uh, Jason Waltrip kinda got a raw deal, havin’ to keep up with my seven-days-a-week schedule drawing full pages, while I kept on doing Sundays and dailies. D’oh.
This is Shanna Cochran! Her name is Shanna Cochran. She was a normie who got stuck covering her college’s science fiction club. Well, a recovering normie. Of the Fans! characters, she’s the most fun to draw.
So, let’s kick off this escapist crossover yarn with some light and fluffy character exposition. We need a goofy hook too, like Clark Kent and Peter Parker getting assigned to cover the same event or Clark and Bruce Wayne booking seats on the same cruise ship. Or hey, how about some RELATIVES WITH EARLY-STAGE DEMENTIA, who’ll just ignore a random interdimensional jump?
Shanna Cochran is a journalist who mingles with science-fiction fans and is ever so slowly becoming one. Her mother Judith got into fandom around the same time that Judith began to lose her mind (future science “cured” her not long before this story, and you can probably guess how long that lasted). These two facts should tell you a lot about Shanna’s fears and anxieties, and they make her so awkward here that her stilted last balloon actually sounds about right to my ear.
At one time, print journalists like Shanna didn’t think much of TV channels like CNN, making Shanna’s second attempt at conversation here even more strained. These days, presidential attacks have shifted the landscape and weakened such old rivalries, sort of like they did at the end of The Post, only more permanently.
In a sense, I think she might be the biggest badass of the Fans! universe. Although you could make that argument for almost any of the main characters.
Did she just not notice that her daughter has disappeared entirely?
Shanna’s mom has an off-and-on relationship with reality.
Shanna’s relationship with her mom rings true. Don’t ask me how I know.
I’m so glad you guys are providing exposition for this. I’ve always gotten the impression that Fans is a really cool webcomic, but I’ve never had time to read it all the way through, so a lot of the characters and their relationships with each other are lost on me.
I actually started re-reading it, but then stopped when it hit this crossover, because I wanted to experience it along with everyone else on the site. I don’t know how much I’ll be doing that going forward though, depends on the state of the comments section. It’s a little quieter this evening.
I’ve read Fans all the way through twice, and to be honest I still didn’t really know what was going on. T. Campbell’s storytelling has always been a little obtuse for me and unless I dove into the forums I’d inevitably lose track of why character x was mad at character y or who was secretly a robot double or whatever. I always felt vaguely guilty about it because clearly the fanbase had no problem tracking events but I had a similar problem with Penny and Aggie.
I liked the crossover because they’re meant to be self contained so I wasn’t missing anything.
Anyway sorry to bust in just to complain about someone else’s webcomic but I’ve been sitting on that for, like, six years and had to tell somebody.
Also Shanna is far and away the character I like best from Fans.
Fun fact: this is the first Fans! strip I ever read, and eventually I went back and binged the whole archive basically because I was interested in Shanna’s mom’s backstory.
Turns out there wasn’t really all that much of it?
But the joke’s on be, because the whole strip was great from beginning to end, and also the reboot. | 2019-04-19T15:01:06 | http://www.itswalky.com/comic/i-thought-we-could-go-to-the-amusement-park-next-time-mom/ |
Thanks so much for posting this, it’s incredibly helpful!
Sorry, I don’t have a nice screenshot to contribute.
With a lot of hours playing this game every day.
Holy ■■■■ ing ■■■■, that’s a lot of artifacts. What team setup do you use?
i enjoy this app more than the actual game lol. if anyone feels up to it check out my facebook page, battleborn tap addiction. i posted what ive collected so far, trying to get people to join to share their stats and progression and to compare and chat about strategies and more.
I’m finding the stronger I get, the longer it’s actually taking to get through stages. I’ve already reached the 150 stage achievement. Since then, I’ve been building up artifacts and gear so I could work toward the 250 stage achievement. I’m currently on stage 146 and can barely beat the bosses. I have 17 artifacts, all purple or orange gear. I have 8.65k% damage bonus. Yet getting to 150 again is actually harder than it was the first time. My buffs are all extended 50%, so when I get the ultimate ability refresh, I can use all 5 specials about 5 times each, and the bosses are still nowhere near dead. | 2019-04-25T04:29:13 | https://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/t/artifacts-list-so-far/1463087 |
Standing on the shore of the majestic Saint Lawrence River and surrounded by magnificent gardens, Our Lady of the Cape Shrine is a peaceful and welcoming harbour and a spiritual beacon set in a jewelry box of beauty.
In response to the call of Pope Francis to all of humanity in his encyclical letter, Laudato Sí (Praise be to you), the Shrine wants to do its part to safeguard our common home.
The Shrine already hosts occasional conferences on ecological and economic justice and also integrates creation spirituality within its preaching at various times during the year. The family and youth ministry, Cape-Youth, is concerned with presenting ecological themes in its activities.
Recycling is an established practice in the Shrine offices and in collaboration with the municipality, recycling bins are installed on the site during the nine days of the Assumption Festival in August.
Well aware that what we already do is only a beginning, we hope to improve upon these practices at all levels. For example, improving energy efficiency and relying more on green energy sources; becoming a water-bottle-free zone; installing charging stations for electric cars; etc.
It is imperative that the choices we make in the major redevelopment of the site (basilica courtyard, parking lots, path between the basilica and the original chapel) be ecological. Thus, we want to have green parking lots for a significant reduction of asphalt surfaces (which generate heat islands) and of lawns (which demand large quantities of water).
The successful implementation of more environmentally-friendly modifications, requires ecological awareness and conscientious participation on the part of the entire Shrine community: staff, Oblates, volunteers, pilgrims and visitors.
Our ecological conversion is a challenge, albeit, a realistic one. It is up to us to make the right choices so that the Shrine sets a good example and does its part for the safekeeping of creation. | 2019-04-19T19:04:49 | https://greenchurches.ca/explore-our-network/our-lady-of-the-cape-shrine/ |

As the tactical plans were taking shape, the divisions slated for the Saipan operation began training for the impending battle. Ships were summoned to Hawaii to carry the invasion force to its destination. While the Americans gathered strength for the massive effort to seize the Marianas, the enemy looked to the defenses of the Central Pacific. In Hawaii, Marines and Army infantrymen practiced landing from LVTs in preparation for the Saipan assault. At the objective, Japanese troops were working just as hard to perfect their defenses.
The Marine and Army units selected to conquer Saipan underwent training in the Hawaiian Islands designed to prepare them for combat in the jungle, cane fields, and mountains of the Mariana islands. The scope of training matched the evolution of tactical plans, as individual and small unit training gave way to battalion exercises, and these, in turn, were followed by regimental and division maneuvers. The 2d Marine Division, encamped on the island of Hawaii, did its training in an area that closely resembled volcanic Saipan. After its conquest of northern Kwajalein, the 4th Marine Division arrived at the island of Maui to begin building its living quarters and ranges--tasks which coincided with training for FORAGER. Both construction and tactical exercises were hampered by the nature of the soil, a clay which varied in color and texture from red dust to red mud. The 27th Infantry Division, on the island of Oahu, emphasized tank-infantry teamwork and the proper employment of JASCO units during amphibious operations. The XXIV Corps Artillery was in the meantime integrating into its ranks the coast artillerymen needed to bring the battalions to authorized strength, conducting firing exercises, and learning amphibious techniques.
On 17 and 19 May, the two Marine divisions took part in the final rehearsals of Northern Troops and Landing Force. The first exercise, conducted at Maalaea Bay, saw the Marines land on the beaches and advance inland, following the general scheme of maneuver for the Saipan operation. The second rehearsal was held at Kahoolawe Island, site of a naval gunfire target range. Although the roar of naval guns added realism to the exercise, the assault troops did not go ashore. After the landing craft had turned back, shore fire control parties landed to call for naval salvos against the already shell-scarred island. The 27th Infantry Division completed its rehearsals between 18 and 24 May. The independent 1/2 and its reinforcing elements climaxed the training cycle with landings at Hanalei Bay.
Since there was not enough time to obtain replacements for the lost mortars, Admiral Turner decided to rely on the scheduled rocket barrage by LCI(G)s for neutralization of beach defenses. He ordered those LSTs and the LCT that carried the heavy mortars and their supply of ammunition to unload upon their return to Pearl Harbor. As the mortar shells were being put ashore, tragedy struck again.
men "were not trained to carry out the functions of those lost."4 The destroyed ships, equipment, and supplies were replaced in time for the LST convoy to sail on 25 May, just one day behind schedule. The lost time was made up en route to the objective.
The movement of Northern Troops and Landing Force plus the Expeditionary Troops reserve from Hawaii to Saipan was an undertaking that required a total of 110 transports. Involved in the operation were 37 troop transports of various types, 11 cargo ships, 5 LSDs, 47 LSTs, and 10 converted destroyers.5 Navy-manned Liberty ships, vessels that lacked adequate troop accommodations, were pressed into service as transports for a portion of the 27th Infantry Division. LSTs carrying assault troops, LVTs, and artillery from both Marine divisions set sail on 25 May. Two days later, transports bearing the remainder of the 4th Marine Division and Headquarters, Expeditionary Troops departed, to be followed on 30 May by elements of the 2d Marine Division. Because of the shortage of shipping, portions of XXIV Corps Artillery were assigned to the transports carrying the assault divisions. Garrison units and Expeditionary Troops reserve were the last units to steam westward.
The transports carrying the Marines sailed to Eniwetok Atoll where they joined the LST convoy. Here additional assault units were transferred from the troop ships to the already crowded landing ships for the final portion of the voyage. One observer, writing of the journey from Eniwetok to Saipan, has claimed that because of the overcrowding, "aggressiveness was perhaps increased," for "after six crowded days aboard an LST, many Marines were ready to fight anybody."6 By 11 June, the last of the ships assigned to stage through Eniwetok had weighed anchor to begin the final approach to the objective. Meanwhile, the vessels carrying the 27th Infantry Division had completed their last-minute regrouping at Kwajalein Atoll.
to attack in the afternoon. A fighter sweep conducted by 225 planes accounted for an estimated 150 Japanese aircraft on the first day, this insuring American control of the skies over the Marianas.
Seven old battleships with 11 attendant cruisers and 23 destroyers relieved the fast battleships on 14 June to begin blasting Saipan and Tinian. The quality of the bombardment improved, but all did not go according to plan, for the neutralization of Afetna and Nafutan Points proved difficult to attain. Although aircraft assisted the surface units by attacking targets in the rugged interior, the preliminary bombardment was not a complete success. The size of the island, the lack of time for a truly methodical bombardment, the large number of point targets, Japanese camouflage, and the enemy's use of mobile weapons all hampered the American attempt to shatter the Saipan defenses.
The heavy naval and air bombardment directed against the Marianas were only a part of the preparations decided upon for FORAGER. Wake and Marcus Islands had been bombed during May in order to protect the movement of Admiral Turner's warships and transports. Bombs thudded into enemy bases from the Marshalls to the Kuriles in an effort to maintain pressure on the Japanese. Finally, on 14 June, two carrier groups cut loose from Task Force 58 to attack Iwo Jima, Haha Jima, and Chichi Jima in the Volcano-Bonin Islands. These strikes were designed to prevent the enemy from making good his aerial losses by transferring planes from the home islands to the Marianas by way of the Bonins.
Like the attacking Americans, the Japanese defenders were completing their preparations for the Saipan landings. Fully alerted by the air and naval bombardment, the Saipan garrison realized that it soon would be called upon to fight to the death. Lieutenant General Hideyoshi Obata and Vice Admiral Chiuchi Nagumo awaited the arrival of the Marines so that they could execute their portion of the A-GO plan, which called for the destruction of the invaders on the beaches of Saipan.
Truk, had responsibility for the defense of the Marianas. The work of building, improving, and maintaining the island fortifications was the task of the 5th Base Force and its attached units, the 5th Communications Unit and 5th Defense Force. Logistical support of the Marianas garrison was turned over to the Fourth Fleet Naval Stores Department and the 4th Naval Air Depot, both located at Saipan. Originally the Marianas forces were to strengthen the defenses of the area and ready themselves for a possible war, but once Japan had begun preparing to strike at Pearl Harbor, the 5th Base Force received orders to lay plans for the capture of Guam.
War came, Guam surrendered, and the Marianas became a rear area as Japanese troops steadily advanced. Since Saipan served primarily as a staging area, a sizeable garrison force was not needed. In May 1943, when the Gilberts marked the eastern limits of the Japanese empire, only 919 troops and 220 civilians were stationed on Saipan. As American forces thrust westward, reinforcements were rushed into the Marianas area.
During February 1944, Kwajalein and Eniwetok Atolls, both important bases, were seized by American amphibious forces. Within the space of three weeks, Saipan became a frontline outpost rather than a peaceful staging area. That portion of the 5th Special Base Force13 located at Saipan, a contingent which now numbered 1,437 men, was too weak to hold the island against a determined assault.
Nagumo's command, however, was an administrative organization unable to exert effective tactical control over the Thirty-first Army, the land force assigned to defend the various islands in the Marianas, Bonins, and Palaus. Initially, Nagumo was appointed supreme commander throughout this sector, but Headquarters, Thirty-first Army objected to being subordinated to a naval officer. By mid-March, Nagumo and Lieutenant General Hideyoshi Obata, the army commander, had sidestepped the issue, each one pledging himself to refrain from exercising complete authority over the other.
This revision of the Central Pacific command structure reflected the increasing concern with which the Japanese high command regarded the defenses of Saipan and the other islands which lay in the path of the American offensive. Between February and May, two divisions, two independent brigades, two independent regiments, and three expeditionary units were rushed to the Marianas to form the Marianas Sector Army Group of Obata's Thirty-first Army. Naval strength in the islands was augmented by the arrival of the 55th and 56th Guard Forces17 as well as antiaircraft and aviation units.
The submarine campaign did not reach peak intensity in time to prevent the Japanese from building airfields throughout the Marianas. By June 1944, Guam boasted two operational fields and two others not yet completed, Tinian had three airfields with work underway on a fourth, and both Rota and Pagan were the sites of still other flight strips. At Saipan, the old Aslito airfield, now less important than the new Tinian bases, was capable of handling extensive aerial traffic. One emergency strip was built near Charan Kanoa, but another such field, begun at Marpi Point, was as yet unfinished. Work on land defenses, however, was not as far advanced as airfield construction.
Those beaches judged best suited for amphibious landings were guarded by powerful forces backed by comparatively feeble local reserves. A short distance inland, the enemy had prepared a second line designed to contain penetrations of the coastal perimeter until a counterattack could be organized. A tank regiment shouldered the main burden of eradicating any American salient, but Obata also held out four rifle companies and two shipping companies as a general reserve to join in counterthrusts, When the Japanese commander turned his attention to the rugged interior of Saipan, he discovered himself to be short of critical building materials, vital time, and necessary engineer units. The invulnerable fortress depicted by Obata was not fully realized, but he nevertheless selected certain redoubts, most of them in forbidding terrain. If the Americans smashed the first two lines, caves, gorges, and dense thickets would have to serve as pillboxes, antitank barriers, and barbed wire.
On 13 June, Admiral Jisaburo Ozawa led his Mobile Fleet, the A-GO striking force, from Tawi Tawi toward the Marianas. The Yamato and Musashi, with their attendant warships, steamed northward to a refueling rendezvous in the Philippine Sea, where they would join Ozawa's armada. Nimitz' blow at the Marianas caught the enemy somewhat off balance, for the ships dispatched toward Biak and the planes massed in the Palaus and eastern Carolines would have to be redeployed if they were to take part in the scheduled annihilation of the American expedition. The shifting of the A-GO battlefield from the Palaus northward also forced Ozawa to steam a greater distance, pausing en route to refuel at sea. Yet, an American attack on the Marianas was not unexpected. A-GO could succeed, provided the Saipan garrison held firm and the 500 land-based planes promised to augment Ozawa's carrier squadrons actually arrived in the Marianas.
On 14 June, in the midst of the holocaust, Admiral Nagumo issued a warning that "the enemy is at this moment en route to attack us." He went on to predict that American amphibious forces would land no later than July.
After pointing out that the Marianas were the Japanese first line of defense, he directed each man to "mobilize his full powers to annihilate the enemy on the beach, to destroy his plan, and to hold our country's ramparts."27 Along the western beaches of Saipan, members of frontline units were better informed than the admiral, for they could see the buoys which were being set out to aid in controlling the next day's assault.
The Saipan garrison had suffered from the preliminary bombardment, but the defenders were willing to fight. If humanly possible, they would defeat the Marines on the beaches. In the meantime, Ozawa's ships were beginning their voyage toward the Marianas. The portion of A-GO that called for aerial surface, and submarine attacks on the advancing American convoy had already gone awry. Possibly, the attackers could be wiped out before a beachhead was established. If not, merely by holding for a comparatively brief time, Saito's men might nevertheless set the stage for a decisive sea battle.

When news broke this week that Shell was selling almost all of its oilsands assets in the province, Alberta’s opposition parties pilloried the deal with something resembling verbal muscle memory.
“Shell is waving goodbye to Alberta … The premier’s plan is not working,” Opposition leader Brian Jean said during question period, in a familiar refrain.
In a legislature hallway, Progressive Conservative interim leader Ric McIver told reporters the sale is a sign of the times.
“The government is decidedly not business-friendly. And a lot businesses that have been here for a long time are making a decision to have smaller investments in Alberta,” said McIver. | 2019-04-26T04:07:57 | http://www.albertacantwait.com/shell_oilsands_divestment_shows_carbon_tax_will_be_opposition_cudgel_for_years_to_come |

It is important aspect that helps in encouraging sound health, safeguard of illness and the care for sick, physically challenged and dying individuals. From the provided case scenario, it has been identified that Mr Taylor is 97 years old individual having multiple inherent health conditions. The individual is suffering from diabetes, hypertension,angina, myocardial infarction, osteoarthritis. In addition to this, due to improper care and negligence Mr Taylor has fallen in it home, yard resulting into many injuries, bruises etc. With the effective nursing, proper care can be provided to Mr Taylor which will help them in coping with illness. In this report, clear understanding will be shown regarding the nursing process for Mr Taylor.
It is important concept that help in defining the perception of care workers and organization about the nature of the nursing activities and thus provide grounds for various actions.
It can defined as method of perceiving and performing things that sees the individual using services of health and care as equivalent partners in developing and observing care to ensure it match their expectations and requirement. The main benefit of person centred care is that it help in empowering the individual facing health issues.
It can be refereed as nursing practice that has objective of healing the whole person as its objective and not just diagnosing their body and particular physical symptoms.
It is objective care directed method of caring that renders a framework to nursing care. It further includes assessment, diagnosing, outcome identification and planning, implementation and evaluation.
It is important concept that will help in putting Mr Taylor and its families at the centre of decision making process by viewing them as professed,working alongside experts to get the best results. It will help in providing proper care to MR Taylor so as to maintain their dignity, independence and choice. Since, MR Taylor wants to stay receive services at his home, person centred care will help in ensuring it well-being and respect the decision of patient.
It is a broad concept that relates to all-inclusive and total care of the patient in various areas, like, physical, emotional, social, mentally and psychologically. It is important concept that will help in improving the recovering capacity of Mr Taylor. Since, MR Taylor may be depressed about the loss of its wife and absence of closed one , the holistic care will help in improving its psychological status which is also beneficial for its overall health.
It will help in providing systematic care to Mr Taylor that will help in recovering from various disease. By assessment process, proper information about health conditions of Mr Taylor can be obtained. The diagnosis will help in ascertaining the issues faced by him along with diseases such as anxiety, poor nutrition etc. The planning step will help in setting health objectives for Mr Taylor such as use of wheelchair to facilitate movement and prevent fall. Thereafter, implementation step will help in providing care as per the plan.
According to the given scenario, Mr Taylor is considered a higher risk for falls because he is not well and suffering from several health issues. However, he is living apart from family so he can get good quality of care services for recovering his health. Though, he is having his wife but she is also suffering from health issues owing to this, Mr. Taylor cannot stay at home. By assessing the history of William Taylor, it has been found that he injured from February fall and got his left shoulder tears. Similarly, February fall injury consists of bruising left elbow, knee as well skin torn from left leg. On the other hand, because of 6 stairs in house he fall many times during rainy season. Owing to this, Taylor can get appropriate services in term of community nurse. At this juncture, community nurse can be appointed for care of Taylor so she will help him to move from home and return to the same.
At the same time, assistive technology can be used in care home through which clear communication will be ensured among patient. Here, Mr. Taylor can get to know about the care to be taken while passing from stairs and doing any other work. Moreover, nursing staff can ensure best care by granting proper support for patient like Mr. Taylor. However, he is in need of socialization because all of his family members return back to home and he is living alone. Therefore, only remedy to assess Mr. Taylor at home is to appointment of nurse. Here, care plan can be made for him and accordingly daily activities can be completed. The important thing is that nurse will help him to move from one to another room as well as to outside of the home. It aids to ensure safety of patient and in the same manner, he can be assessed in an effectual manner.
The care plan of Mr Taylor can be prepared by focusing upon health history and its potential impact on falls risk. According to the given scenario, Mr. Taylor is at great risk of falls and he is injured many time. However, he is suffering from Type 2 Diabetes which was diagnosed in the age of 63 years and hypertension as well as other related diseases are also added in the list. As per the given history it can be stated that due to having issue of diabetes, problem of healing is faced. Here, it is very important to follow the care plan of Taylor effectively so fall risk can be prevented. This will be effective to provide appropriate support and diseases can be tackled. However, community nurse is appointed for patient so that risk of falls will be reduced to a significant level. Moreover, by taking into account history of patient palliative care approach is applied for providing protection to Mr. Taylor and his family from the life threatening illness. Here, specially trained team consisting doctors, nurses and social workers are included in order to ensure protection as well as safety of both Elizabeth and Mr. Taylor. This will be effective to reduce the falls risk otherwise health history reflects that it will have direct impact on falls risk.
The nursing intervention can be undertaken by SN through which falls risk can be prevented to a great extent. Here, cardiovascular illness can be identified and treated effectively in order to resolve issue of falls to some level. This will be effective for patient to take care while moving from one to another room. Furthermore, osteoporosis can be detected and treated with inclusion of appropriate doctor or therapists. It proves to be effective for nursing staff to ensure good health of patient and accordingly provide them right kind of treatment. In addition to this, any kind of eyesight issue occurring with Mr. Taylor can be identified so that appropriate remedy like providing right glasses can be ensured. Not only this, other kind of intervention such as offering safer footwear and access to walking aids can be ensured. Similarly, light exercise can be suggested by SN so to make Mr. Taylor healthy and active which in turn further fall will be presented to a great extent. SN can also discuss the other health professionals who are expert in the same field. It will be effective to understand specific practices which in turn patient can be safer and active. However, other family members can be included in the care plan so they will assist Mr. Taylor to move out of house or for other activities. Therefore, it will be made possible through inclusion of skilled and knowledgeable team of health professionals. Moreover, it important to inform Mr. Taylor about their care plan so he can be comfortable to follow the communicate rules.
There are various ways which can be used in order to evaluate the key interventions which has been identified in the above mentioned report. It can be stated that the process of evaluation is considered as the last and final stage of the entire nursing process. Further, it supports in determining the fact that whether strategies and interventions developed has been able to provide accurate outcomes or not. The process of evaluation consists of three major areas which are identifying criteria and standards, collecting evaluation data and interpreting the findings. Apart from this, feedback will be taken for the same by nursing department and possible improvement will be recorded. Accordingly, appropriate changes will be made to the existing plan which prevent from falls.
From the above report, it can be concluded that nursing is profession for providing care to the Mr Taylor. It will help in safe guarding him from various falls and thus promote its health, prevent disease and thus provide effective care. The term holistic care will have objective of healing the whole person. The nursing process will focus on organized process that can be adopted to render best care to Mr Taylor.

The Landscape and Environment Programme, 2006-2012.
The Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded Landscape and Environment programme is now closed. This website acts as an online record of the Programme's research, activities, and achievements.
Please note: as the website will not be updated regularly, external links, forms and search boxes may not function.
Formally launched in January 2006, 45 metres above the Thames on one of Tower Bridge's glass walkways, the AHRC Landscape and Environment Programme set out to advance knowledge, critically and creatively, of the cultural forms and processes shaping, and shaped by, landscape and environment. In a six year span, the Programme has broken new ground in bringing together researchers from a wide range of disciplines and approaches (including those for whom practice is integral to the research) to address the changing ways landscapes and environments have been imagined, experienced, designed, made and managed, and in communicating research findings to a wide audience.
While compiling the final reports for the Programme we made a count of its various achievements. This includes not only outputs, most of which were produced towards the end of projects, but also activities and events occurring over the longer term, which demonstrate the process of work, its development and value. In all, 50 projects have been funded, based in 40 institutions, with Principal Investigators drawn from 13 different disciplines. The projects have involved a far greater number and range of people than those who were directly funded, including 90 non-academic organisations, within and beyond the UK, and a large population (approaching 7000) actively involved in project and programme activities through 164 events, including conferences, workshops and seminars.
Places as well as people count in a programme of this theme, and the map of research includes over 150 specific landscape case studies in the UK alone, and a good number internationally, with some at a large scale, for example the Indian Ocean and the rainforest of Borneo, including many research sites. The programme so far has generated over a thousand outputs of various kinds, largely scholarly publications, but also including 40 websites, 22 exhibitions and 5 films which have generated sizeable audiences.
Although the Programme formally closed at the end of 2012, we are confident that the research community it has created will continue to push forward research on the theme in exciting and inspiring new ways. Evidence of this was already clear as the Programme drew to a close. Initiated in 2011, the AHRC grant scheme 'Care for the Future: Enhancing Arts and Humanities Perspectives on Environmental Values and Change' enabled those involved in the Researching Environmental Change networks to develop new research collaborations. Six new projects were funded through the call, including Stephen Daniels' 'Bringing Landscape to Life' project (2011-13). Each project involved collaboration between multiple award holders but were led by Stephen Bottoms, Peter Coates, Stephen Daniels, Georgina Endfield, Lorna Hughes and Hayden Lorimer.
The AHRC funds world-class, independent researchers in a wide range of subjects.
Over the course of the 2013-14 financial year the AHRC will spend approximately £98m to fund research and postgraduate training in collaboration with a number of partners. The quality and range of research supported by this investment of public funds not only provides social and cultural benefits but also contributes to the economic success of the UK. For further information on the AHRC, please go to: www.ahrc.ac.uk.
Funded by the AHRC in 2011, the Fellowship aims to draw together the impact of the research amassed by the Landscape and Environment Programme.
Published in March 2012, the final newsletter offers an overview of the final months of the Fellowship and plans for the future. | 2019-04-22T02:03:07 | http://www.landscape.ac.uk/ |
This Cat Sees His Stocking… But It’s What He Does NEXT That Had Me On The Floor!
This cat clearly did not want to wait until Christmas morning to see what was in his stocking. He pokes his head through the stair railings and sneakily reaches down to the stocking. He pulls it off the hook with his little paws and mouth, pulls it through the railings, runs down the stairs with it, and takes it into hiding. Now he won’t be able to be surprised on Christmas morning. Oh well, I hope he likes his gifts! | 2019-04-24T06:22:03 | https://familypet.com/sneaky-cat-steals-his-stocking/ |

If you’ve ever had questions about heaven, we’ll try to answer them. It’s going to heavenly (sorry for the bad pun). We’ll have snacks and a nursery and we hope you’ll join us. | 2019-04-19T03:14:15 | https://newstorychurch.org/one-night-in-heaven-a-class/ |
The local food movement was born in California. This is one reason why Californians have begun to understand that protecting state farmland is key to protecting the state’s food supply.
The connection between farmland protection and meeting the state’s ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals is equally important but less-widely acknowledged. American Farmland Trust (AFT) is working hard to close this gap.
Recently the California Air Resources Board held a meeting to showcase a first round of modeling for the State’s 2030 climate change scoping plan. AFT was there to ensure that farmland conservation is viewed as an important strategy for meeting California’s climate goals.
Every year, on average, California loses 40,000 acres of farmland to urbanization. This amounts to more than 1.4 million acres since the state began tracking the issue in 1982. Unfortunately, the best farmland (classified as Prime) is being lost the fastest due to its proximity to urban areas and ever-creeping urban sprawl. However, there is new momentum at the state level to address the issue.
Farming in the peri-urban interface.
Last year, AFT released a new report showing that urban land uses generate significantly higher greenhouse gas emissions than farmland. This adds to the growing body of research, including that of UC Davis’s own Dr. Louise Jackson, which indicates conserving farmland is key to stabilizing emissions. According to AFT’s own calculations, cutting farmland loss in half by 2030 and by 75 percent by 2050 would have greenhouse gas savings comparable to taking 1.9 million cars off the road each year.
These truths are widely enough acknowledged that the Strategic Growth Council—which is comprised of state agency secretaries and three public members—allocated nearly $45 million of cap-and-trade funding to farmland conservation projects over the past two years, permanently protecting more than 33,000 acres. These investments are intended to complement efforts by communities to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions through projects that support infill and compact development.
In September, the state released a new white paper, Vibrant Communities and Landscapes, A Vision for California in 2050, which will serve as the state’s guide for land use development decisions and prioritization through the year 2050. The strategies described in A Vision for California in 2050 are closely tied to the state’s ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets under California Assembly Bill 32 and California Senate Bill 375. In the white paper, the state pledges to set conversion reduction targets for natural and working lands, something that AFT has been advocating for years.
The private sector is catching on as well. At this week’s Economic Summit, where leaders rallied around California’s “One Million Challenges,” the Working Landscapes Action Team presented a set of recommendations that included setting statewide conversion reduction goals. The group reiterated that protecting farmland at the urban edge provides incentives for cities to increase the supply of homes near transit, revitalize community centers, protect important aquifer recharge areas and maintain agriculture-related jobs.
California is in the midst of a housing crisis, and we need to build more homes in our communities. However, we need to do this much more efficiently going forward. The average housing density in the state is 9.4 people per acre, but in California’s key agricultural region, the San Joaquin Valley, it’s more like 6 people per acre (check out our report, here).
While we’re seeing farmland conservation increasingly incorporated into state policies and investments, a parallel challenge is getting local governments on board, since that’s where most land-use decisions are ultimately made. AFT has been engaging there as well, working with Local Agency Formation Commissions to protect farmland, supporting anti-sprawl ballot measures, and helping create model policies that help communities plan for compact growth.
One thing is clear: California is losing farmland. Once it’s developed, you can never get it back. The Air Resources Board will continue refining its climate modeling in the coming months. Please consider letting them know that while on-farm management practices are important for mitigating climate change, preventing farmland conversion in the first place is vital to meeting California’s climate goals.
Editor’s Note: Be sure to follow American Farmland Trust on Twitter @Farmland and Facebook.
Virginia Jameson is California’s Deputy State Director for American Farmland Trust in Sacramento, where she advocates for the development of policies to protect California’s farmland. She has a dual master’s degree in International Affairs/Natural Resources and Sustainable Development from American University in Washington D.C. and the United Nations mandated University for Peace in Costa Rica. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Virginia grew up in Salinas, California, surrounded by beautiful agricultural land. Previously, she served as a Management Specialist for the Monterey County Agricultural Commissioner’s office, where she worked as part of a special liaison team with the county planning department to develop an agricultural land mitigation ordinance. She also previously served as a board aide for Monterey County Supervisor Jane Parker, and as associate director for the Ag Land Trust, where she oversaw the permanent conservation of 3,000 acres of agricultural land. Virginia continues to serve on the Ag Land Trust board of directors. | 2019-04-23T18:25:22 | http://ucfoodobserver.com/2016/12/21/guest-blog-farmland-conservation-good-for-climate-good-for-communities/ |

Did you know that 83 percent of households purchased yogurt in 2012? Leverage the natural wholesomeness of cultured dairy products to provide flavorful, innovative solutions that meet consumers’ needs for active lifestyle support or convenience.
Cultured dairy products offer a wide variety of nutritional benefits, especially for today’s label-conscious consumer. Active adults, kids and an aging population all can benefit from good to excellent sources of protein found in cultured dairy products.
Did you know cultured dairy products provide a range of 5 to 23 grams of protein per 8 ounces based on the product? Plus, these foods provide other important nutrients, including potassium and calcium.
New Greek yogurt products, kefir drinks (a fermented product containing a greater amount of probiotics and yeasts compared with yogurt) and healthy yogurt-based smoothies are just a few innovations driving growth for this segment. In fact, 2012 category sales for yogurt alone were $50.9 billion worldwide. | 2019-04-21T18:56:41 | https://www.usdairy.com/product-categories/yogurt |
5. Lots of airport choices – Compared to the 500 or so airports in the US that have commercial airline service, private aviation has more than 5000 paved airport choices and millions more when you count open fields and parking lots for helicopter landings, waterways for float-plane landings and grass strips for more utilitarian turboprop or piston aircraft landings.
4. Ultra-cool products – From movies to rap songs, private aviation appears glamorous and exclusive. A flight on a private plane is on many people’s bucket list—and owning one signals a crowning success for many ambitious business owners. But private aviation is not so far-fetched. Many flight schools offer discovery flights for around $100, which, in my opinion, should be included in every high school’s science curriculum.
3. Exciting job opportunities – Even though I have a degree in journalism, not aeronautical engineering (or some other STEM-related training), I have found an amazing career in the aviation industry. There are a vast variety and number of aviation-related jobs available to people with all sorts of job skills and levels of education. Furthermore, the introduction of drones will revolutionize this industry and create jobs in the millions in the next couple of decades. It’s an exciting time to be a part of forward (and upward) progress!
2. Positive impact on our economy – Despite the fact that private jet users typically take a beating in the press, General Aviation contributes more than $150 billion to our economy each year and contributes positively to our nation’s balance of trade.
1. An extremely generous community – Private aircraft owners and others involved in the industry make significant donations. Corporate Angel Network has flown over 50,000 cancer patients for treatment via seat donations of private jet owners. After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, 4,500 relief flights were flown by donated private jets in the first 30 days bringing more than one million pounds of life saving supplies. | 2019-04-26T12:11:52 | https://blog.wepushtin.com/blog/5-things-thankful-private-aviation/ |
A few months ago I went to visit my Dad at his new home in Genoa, Nevada. We spent a lot of time exploring the little local towns surrounding Reno, which included lots of visits to antique shops. I think I came home with a stack of about 20 vintage postcards for my collection, many with images of my favorite places like beaches in San Diego, Yosemite, desert scenes and famous European buildings like the Notre Dame in Paris and the Duomo in Florence. These are a few of my favorites from that day - I scored!
These are all pretty awesome! | 2019-04-19T02:30:35 | http://beccalovesart.blogspot.com/2014/04/vintage-postcard-finds.html |

Hey everyone.. having a bit of a problem.
I've modified the php.spec file to include the suhosin patches.
Did you include the Suhosin patch in the right location in php.spec?
Falko, thanks for the reply.
The error message seems to be only complaining about the php_pcre.c file. All the variables listed below are declared in the file. I'm going to try the latest ver. of php 5.2.4 and apply the latest suhosin patch. I'd really like to figure out what I'm doing wrong here though. | 2019-04-24T22:50:29 | https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/howto-suhosin-fedora-core-7-php-5-2-2.15298/ |

The reason we struggle with trust is that we feel like we’ve been betrayed. It’s a crappy weight to have on your shoulders. Similar to its other invasive cousins’ anger, guilt and resentment, losing trust keep you from getting your life back.
But like all the other feelings, you have the power to break free from their hold and regain control of your life. Let’s discover how!
Many times, a lack of trust comes from a sense of betrayal—which is exactly what you feel the end of a long-term marriage. Whether the betrayal was from simply growing apart, or from more insidious things like abandonment, abuse, or infidelity, it’s no wonder you may feel like you cannot put your faith in anyone anymore.
As if that’s not bad enough, loss of trust can be nasty because it makes us doubt ourselves during a time when we deserve to be strong. The inability to trust actually has a stronger blow-back on us, because it makes us lose confidence in ourselves, it turns our world upside down as we begin to question what we can really depend on, and as we work to start over and get our lives back.
This tenet is true with everything you experienced during divorce, but is one we tend to forget. When we were betrayed, we tend to view the work differently. We may think that everybody is out to get us, that we can no longer trust any of our relationships, and that we will not be able to depend on or trust anything in our lives again.
But as painful as betrayal has been, it is not your death sentence. It does not mean that nothing good will come your way again, or that you will not be able to heal. If anything, betrayal during your divorce, no matter how crazy or earth-shattering it may have been, actually shines a light on the toxicity of that relationship and showing you that you deserve better than to be in a state where you cannot trust.
If learning to trust again is something you have been struggling with as you continue to heal and move on after your divorce, take a look at this simple exercise for a kick-start! As usual, during our Surviving Your Split exercises, I have provided some examples from my own experience that you can use to get you started.
What and who can I depend on that I sometimes overlook?
This can be simple. Take a look at my examples below!
My little sister has always been there for me. As we have gotten older, she has become a confidant, and shoulder to cry on, and a thinking partner when I am struggling with a problem.
The Love Mindset: When that wave of mistrust washes over me—which is many times when I think about the marriage—I will put that feeling on pause, and then remind myself of the many beautiful things in my life that I can depend on. I will list those things, and if I am physically near one of those things, I will reach out to them.
For example, I will hug my dog and take him on a walk to clear my head. Or I will text my sister to see how she’s doing. Redirecting the negative feelings of betrayal into something positive will gently remind me that there are people and things in this life that I know I can depend on, who also depend on me. I will celebrate that trust and focus on that love instead. | 2019-04-22T02:14:46 | https://divorcedmoms.com/how-to-trust-again-after-betrayal/ |

In Aaron Wherry’s interview with Thomas Mulcair (“The Interview,” Aug. 3), the leader of the NDP continues with the “Canada as peacekeeper” theme. Air strikes and contributions toward the fight against Islamic State include no fewer than 60 nations, among them Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, the Netherlands and Turkey, the latter which Mulcair denies.

I am going to try and find the link with Portsmouth Uni and TCT, and how she came up for an honorary Doctorate.
I wonder how many of those boxes TCT ticks.
For the avoidance of doubt I am not questioning the integrity or principles of a fine University or its staff. Simply highlighting a difference perhaps in standards between it and its new Honorary Doctor. | 2019-04-26T14:07:09 | https://www.pprune.org/9558067-post2083.html |

Sunday, July 5th, we were to meet up in Sligo to go on a boat to the Lake Isle Of Innisfree. Friday afternoon check up of weather forecast showed a map of a horrific weather depression heading our way to land on us Sunday afternoon.
I panicked, let's get Sunday morning, as forecast was great then, but some could not join us. Ok, how about Saturday? About half the people coming along could not change to Saturday afternoon.
One last tree, how about 5pm Sunday after the storm has passed? Well that idea was popular :-) Boatman agreed so it was all sorted.
Through Saturday, the forecast was exactly as forecasted with no change for Sunday afternoon.
until around 10 am, all change, the storm forecasted later, so it's round up the boatman and travelers back to 3 pm.
We arrived 3 pm prompt. Sile arrived at the same time, texting Jane here to make sure she is on the way to Killerry Jetty. The three girls travelling together, Jan, Bridget and Donijka are already aboard. Eddie the boatman skipper making sure everything is ship-shape.
Gary arrived with friend Tatjana who showed him how to get here.
So why am I waving my hand from the boat?
Because I had exchanged online comments with Tatjana in various places and seen pics, but never met her yet.
Bards In The Woods 16th August, another boat ride.
You can see Beezie's cottage remains in this pic.
And now the silhouette of Lake Isle Of Innisfree is in our sights.
There it is, and we just have to turn into the moorings.
More unloading, including a load of wet weather gear, in case we needed it.
The island is very different to what we imagined. Claire and I have landed on lough islands to be greeted by lots of brambles that need chopping and any trees are small secondary trees like hawthorn, hazel, birch and maybe rowan. Here some major trees grow, as you will see.
This lovely pic of the 'Sleeping Giant' in the landscape taken by Bee.
The white strip is his belt. It is Leitrim to the right of his belt and Sligo to the left.
Tony is eager to get to the sunny end of the island to recite some Yeats poetry.
And this is where Tony recited The Lake Isle Of Innisfree by W.B. Yeats while May flies and dragonflies buzzed around and the water waves lapped against the shore.
Innisfree means Inis Fraoigh, the Island Of Heather. We saw this heather flowering about a month early.
This also reminded me that there is a myth legend of this island that speaks of a woman called Srí-an which roughly translates as 'creation without restraint', a land formed out of 'sacred waters'.
Among the mature trees is this fir, I think a Douglas Fir?
Then is started to rain hard, very hard for about 20 minutes, so Gary and I sheltered under this mature and very useful Yew tree.
Than trying to get to Lake Isle Innisfree?
But here in the west, nothing's simple or plain.
Our departure affected by promise of rain!
Chopping and changing like waves on the sea!
Like a poetry army awaiting the call.
To go 'over the top' before rain or nightfall.
That we're here on the island hunting 9 rows of bean!
Sure there's none so determined as Bards in the Woods.
As we feed ourselves and ourselves feed the bugs!
For some reason we wandered away to do something else?
and 'She Moves Through The Fair'.
Then Claire and I performed 'Coll The Hazel' together.
and I take a pic of the 'Sleeping Giant' but he is not as sharp looking as when Bee too a pic earlier.
So it is now truly farewell to Innisfree, in the silhouette, as skipper Eddie prepares to return to the island to collect the other passengers and take them to Sligo.
And final farewells and hugs with each other to complete this very dreamy transforming afternoon.
John, I just looked at your blog and the videos. What happy memories. There is nothing like our time together on Innisfree. Thank you for your leadership. | 2019-04-20T01:10:31 | https://www.bardsinthewoods.com/2015/07/we-did-arise-and-go-to-innisfree.html |

‘Tis the season to eat, drink and be merry, but if your primary interest is in that second verb there, you’ll need a cache of cheery Yuletide cocktails. With nods to seasonal favorites (hello, Mr. Nutmeg), festive twists on old classics and quirky concoctions sure make you host(ess) of the year, you can’t go wrong with this compilation of “spirited” drinks.
Cranberries are a staple of the holiday season. In fact, according to Michigan State University, it’s likely the tart red fruit graced the first Thanksgiving table (but likely not in the jellied form often enjoyed today). Don’t stand by while those cranberries play second fiddle to turkey all season long. This festive martini from Cheers to the Host combines smooth Gentleman Jack with tart cranberry juice, then tops it all off with a splash of sweet ginger ale for a martini that’s anything but dirty.
With the pressure of hosting the perfect holiday soiree, you’ve got more to worry about than your beverage cart (although, to be honest, that’s likely what’s most important to your guests). This simple cocktail is easy on the grocery list and puts a sweet spotlight on a seasonal standard: ginger. Combine Gentleman Jack with either ginger ale or ginger beer (there’s a difference, as explained in the recipe), then top with a squeeze of fresh lime. It’s a crowd pleaser you’ll never have to sweat over.
It may be the season’s most divisive flavor, but those who love eggnog really love eggnog. But the same old cocktail year after year can get tired, so put a twist on (but not a twist in, because, gross) your eggnog this year by spiking it with something unexpected. This version from All Recipes adds whiskey to the traditional rum for an unexpected delight. Sprinkle with a little nutmeg and you’ll be sure to thrill your guests — well, the ones who like eggnog, anyway.
It’s the holiday season, so you can do things you usually don’t — like opt for an espresso cocktail rather than the same old espresso after dinner (or lunch, no judgment here). This luscious cocktail from Drink Me embraces everyone’s favorite vices: coffee, cream, vanilla and really good whiskey. Combine Gentleman Jack with vanilla sugar syrup, espresso and coffee cream liqueur for a good shake. Dust with chocolate shavings if your celebration calls for a little (more) indulgence.
The weather outside is frightful, so a hot cocktail is more than delightful — it’s practically required. Redbook calls this recipe one of the coziest cocktails for cold weekends. Bonus: It’s easy to make, with no shaker required! Combining whiskey, vermouth, taverna and maple syrup with hot water, this drink certainly goes down smooth. Stand by tradition and serve this in a canning jar, or get cozy with your favorite holiday mug. And feel free to make a little extra — there’s a long winter ahead.
If apples, oranges, cloves and cinnamon sticks don’t say “I’m never venturing out into the snow ever again,” then what does? These flavors will make you want to stay in all evening — especially if you opt for the warm version. This recipe from Mollie Stone’s Markets mixes the coziest flavors of the year — cinnamon, cloves and apple cider — with Gentleman Jack for a festive drink you can serve warm or cold. Just simmer the ingredients together and you’re ready to drink and be merry (the “eat” part is optional). | 2019-04-18T15:46:16 | https://ktar.com/story/2310556/top-holiday-drink-recipes/ |
