The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the group of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside a web browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address should be retrieved. This way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain address is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the website content is required from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server handles the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the correct mailbox, etc. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, allowing you to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each Internet domain has a minimum of two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
Controlling the NS records for any domain address registered inside a shared web hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you just seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you are going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain name, but even of multiple domain names at once when you would like to forward them all to the same hosting company. The exact same steps will also allow you to direct newly transferred domain names to our platform for the reason that transfer procedure will not change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still redirect to the old host. If you wish to set up private name servers for a domain name registered on our end, you'll be able to do that with a few clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company web site, for example, it's going to have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain to the same account also, besides the one they're created for.
If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to manage the NS records of each domain address registered within it without difficulty. The Hepsia CP, which is in essence an all-in-one tool where you can manage everything related to your web presence, offers a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section in which you will find all your domains is not an exception, so even if you have not had a domain address and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a few mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domain names uses right now and if they're the ones needed to direct that domain address to the semi-dedicated account. As an added feature, we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com free of charge. This will give more credibility to your site, especially when it's a business one, and you can use these name servers for any other domain name that you might want to host within the semi-dedicated account as well. | 2019-04-24T03:51:20 | https://sharpzhost.com/hosting-terminology/ns-records/ |
Have you been dealing with piping issues caused by a clog or blockage? Both residential and commercial properties can be impacted by the build-up of sludge, grease, and debris caught inside the pipes. While there are several different methods of clearing out pipes, hydro flushing is one of the most effective solutions. At CMS Plumbing, we offer high-quality hydro flushing services in Campbell to help your pipes be free of blockages.
Call our skilled plumbers today at (408) 669-4222 to learn about our advanced techniques or to request a free estimate.
Hydro flushing is an extremely straightforward process performed by experienced Campbell plumbers with state-of-the-art equipment. The way this works is we use flexible hoses and pumps to send controlled streams of water through your sewer lines and storm drains. Water under pressure can be directed at blockages and break them up, clearing them out entirely. Typically, we perform an inspection of your lines before we perform hydro flushing so that we have an understanding of what blockages we are clearing out.
There are many different causes of blockages which can be difficult to get at without digging up your pipes, all of which is a strenuous and invasive process. Instead, hydro flushing allows us to go in with a less invasive approach and perform high-pressure jetting to remove blockages.
If you would like a solution that can flush out your plumbing system without causing damage to your home, contact us at (408) 669-4222 and inquire about hydro flushing in Campbell and San Jose. | 2019-04-19T22:51:10 | https://www.cmsplumbers.com/plumbing-services/hydro-flushing/ |
Where should literature fit in our priorities? Is it more important to preach the gospel than put on a play? Is culture worth time away from service? While its probably not that simple–one of these things doesn’t necessarily take away from another–still our Mormon culture and its products are often assumed to be less important than the stated gospel priorities of teaching the gospel and redeeming the dead. The following passage shows that the Church doesn’t (or at least didn’t) see it that way. | 2019-04-25T23:45:02 | https://motleyvision.org/category/drama/ |

3 tbsp. dried (zante) currants, optional, but really good!
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper and grease the paper also.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, xanthan gum, and salt until blended. In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, egg, sweetener, and molasses or yacon. Add dry flour mixture and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to make a stiff dough. Stir in currants, if using.
With greased fingers, form the mixture into 12 to 14 balls. Flatten each ball of dough to 1 inch in thickness and 2 inches across and place on baking pan about 2 inches apart.
Place on middle rack in oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Test a biscuit by cutting it open. Return pan to oven for a few minutes more if it is too moist inside and make a note of the cooking time required in your oven. Serve hot with butter.

Wow, looks and sounds amazing!!
These biscuits look terrific. I am going to make some right away. Thanks for the great recipe. I have both your books and refer to them often.
Thanks for the comment, Ditamac MI/FL. I'm glad you found my books useful!
Hi Harriet, thanks for the comment.
I had 2 biscuits with lots of butter and sugar-free peach jam last night. I was still very full from dinner and thought I'd regret having such a big snack, BUT I weighed myself this morning and I didn't gain an ounce!
Can you use something besides molasses or yacon? Don't usually have either one.
Anonymous, honey would work if you prefer. Or you could try sugar-free maple syrup or xylitol "honey" if you don't want to add carbs.
I just made these and they are good, but don't taste very pumpkin-y. Can I use more pumpkin and, if so, would I cut down the flour? I think I'll also add more of the spices next time.
Hi Dianne. I'd try just adding a couple more tbsp. of pumpkin and extra spices first. The spices may make it seem more "pumpin-y" without messing up the ratio of the ingredients. | 2019-04-19T16:22:38 | https://www.carbwarscookbooks.com/pumpkin-spice-biscuits/ |
Intent: To create a refitted and upgraded Providence-class Carrier/Destroyer for the present CIS.
Like it's predecessor, and different from it's counterpart, the Providence II Destroyer/Carrier does not sacrifice as much weaponry for it's hangar capacity.
To enhance it's durability the Providence II-class has been outfitted with significantly stronger plating and defense systems. This includes redundant shielding, a B1-TM3 package and Socketguards against internal slicing. Similar, but stronger to the ordnance of it's smaller counterpart.
Integrated Droid Brain allows the Providence to operate itself with a skeleton crew.
Unlike it's smaller counterpart, the Providence II Destroyer/Carrier boasts a much larger fighter count.
Like it's predecessor and it's counterpart the Providence-class still possesses it's signature bridge tower. While it is not the main operating area of the ship, it is a target due to it's potential of housing important vessel personnel.
While it's armament is higher than it's smaller counterpart, it still requires it's fighters and a variety of support ships. The Providence II must be guarded but does not require as much as it's smaller counterpart to perform it's function.
Like any ship of it's design, the Providence II suffers from most electrical attacks by enemy fleets.
Description: There was no question when it came to building a larger model of the Providence II-class Assault Carrier. Every one of the naval command knew that it was not right to create only the smaller version of the Providence class, if they were going to build the Providence they would also need to construct the more sizable version.
Edited by Katria Vekarr, 22 January 2018 - 08:35 PM.
Katria Vekarr, this is about two ratings too high. Looks solid conceptually.
I've dropped the armament to average and the defenses to high, does that help round things out a bit? | 2019-04-25T20:26:10 | http://starwarsrp.net/topic/123151-providence-ii-class-carrierdestroyer/ |
"Engagement sessions are always magical. There are lots of giggles, snuggles, the sweetest kisses, and in the case of Jennifer and Aundre’s engagement session, there’s also some major glam being served! I had the honor of working with Jennifer Ward; beauty influencer and star of the Kim Kardashian produced Glam Masters. Her fiancé is Aundre, who fell for Jennifer all the way back in 2009 when Top 8s were still a thing. Aundre was scrolling through a friend's MySpace friends list when he saw Jennifer’s profile and instantly fell for her. One MySpace message from Aundre later, a love connection was born. One of my favorite things about engagement sessions is exploring a new location that really speaks to my couple. In Jennifer’s own words, she really wanted a location that was, “dreamy and romantic."
Funny Story-We actually met on MySpace (back when it was still trendy) on New Years Eve. Aundre and I had a Mutual friend, and he was at this friends house on New Year’s Eve and our friend said “Hey Aundre, go through my friends list and see if you find a girl you like!” He was one of those guys who had like 509 girls as friends who he did NOT know. So out of all the girls, he found me, “Friended” me and sent me a message. 6 months later I bumped into him at a school function (I was only 17 at the time) and 7 months after that we started dating.
On New Year’s Eve a few years ago, it was the last time it snowed down here in Southern California. I’ll never forget what an amazing day it was waking up to everything being covered in snow down here. It was so magical! We went to a New Year’s Eve party and after, he got down on one knee and asked me if I would spend the rest of my life with him. This being the same night we had met years before. | 2019-04-26T06:03:31 | http://www.thesoutherncaliforniabride.com/2019/01/stunning-temecula-engagement-session.html |

I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to direct the upcoming presentation of Hamlet. Act II of Hamlet is rather long, and may be tedious for the viewing of a live audience. Because of this, I would like to suggest several scenes and lines from Act II that [could] be eliminated. This will further enhance the theatrical experience of our viewers without taking away from the storyÃÂs development.
The act begins with Polonius sending Reynaldo to France to spy on his son, Laertes, and then Ophelia enters to report to Polonius about HamletÃÂs crazy behavior. Polonius assumes that Hamlet has gone mad due to OpheliaÃÂs rejection. I believe this scene [could] be significantly cut short to display only PoloniusÃÂs advice on how to inquire about Laertes, and the fact that Hamlet has been acting crazy.
Polonius gives Reynaldo specific pointers when making inquires about Laertes. This helps to develop the theme of reality versus appearance, which is shown throughout the play.
Polonius is teaching Reynaldo how to use words to hide the true meaning behind his questions. He is doing this to ensure that his son maintains a virtuous image, even if he is engaging in fights, attending parties and chasing girls. However, [Polonius] does not wish for Reynaldo to create any scandals of Laertes or make him appear immoral though these inquiries. This is why I believe lines 1-52 should be kept, as they are sufficient to show the audience the theme, and a major plot development.

Five years in the making, Jeff Greinke’s newest release BEFORE SUNRISE explores the more acoustical side of the ambient / impressionist territory of the electronic music genre. This new work, the third Greinke title on the Spotted Peccary Music label, is a logical progression from his previous releases, painting abstract landscapes and emotive expressions with ample use of acoustic instruments such as piano, cello, viola, clarinets and vibraphone, along with electronic elements of sampled textures and synthesizers. The expansive palette of these rich timbres bring a fresh perspective to this highly nuanced contemporary electro-acoustic sound. Spanning genres of modern classical, electronic, and ambient, BEFORE SUNRISE is always evolving, flowing pastorally throughout a predominately non-linear structure. These improvisations and compositions sway to-and-fro, effortlessly creating an authentic, organic quality to the musical experience. Evocative recording techniques, like capturing the incidentals of string and bowed instruments, conjure a lonely, desolate, melancholy terrain. Greinke adds, “my music and creative process is inspired by my visual, aural, and sensual (particularly meteorological) experiences of the world around me.” Due to this inspiration, the eight tracks that comprise this new album are mostly void of any clear rhythmic component and yet pace gracefully, almost floating majestically with Greinke’s intention and direction. Highly layered and textural, BEFORE SUNRISE is impressively spacious with an abundance of subtle detail, while evoking a remarkably somber and visual sense of place.
An exquisitely nuanced collection of ambient chamber music, Before Sunrise blurs the lines between classical and electronic genres in the most striking manner imaginable. Jeff Greinke’s been crafting music and releasing recordings for decades, and the sensibility the sound sculptor, artist, and designer has refined over the course of that production period is evident in every fibre of the recording’s being.
A project like Greinke’s that pairs live musicians with electronic textures and embeds their playing within soundscape structures can produce a result where the contributions of the acoustic players feels grafted onto the backdrops crafted by the electronic artist. Not so here: Before Sunrise sees the two components integrated seamlessly, with all elements working in tandem to achieve specific ends. No account of the fifty-seven-minute release would be complete without acknowledging those who so splendidly augment Greinke’s keyboards, electronics, and samples, even if their contributions appear on only half of the album’s eight pieces: string players Paris Hurley, Alex Guy, Austin Larkin, and Dylan Rieck; trumpeter Lesli Dalaba, woodwinds players James DeJoie, and Greg Campbell on French horn, vibraphone, and hand drum.
Establishing the album’s tone, Greinke builds a multi-dimensional meditative space using vibraphone, bass clarinet, strings, samples, and electronics in “High Flyers of the Night Sky,” its sense of mystery nurtured with masterful patience by the composer. Amidst the thrum of insects and the low-pitched utterances of the bass clarinet, the trumpet’s sparse declamations call to mind the similarly lonely sound of the horn in Ives’s The Unanswered Question. Such an association aside, the material exemplifies the meticulousness with which Greinke assembles his elements into painterly wholes.
Track titles aren’t without a programmatic dimension, but even if generic titles had been used the pieces would still be strongly evocative. Strings figure prominently in the arrangement of “Slow Train on an Open Plain,” lending the piece an elegiac character that very much conveys qualities of loneliness and desolation. By comparison, the combination of muted trumpet, hand drum, clarinet, and electronics gives “The River” a somewhat exotic, even Fourth World character that suggests affinities with the music of Jon Hassell or David Toop.
With respect to the solo productions, “Night Watch” is Greinke in deep Eno mode, the atmospheric ambient soundscape powerfully suggestive of a nocturnal harbour setting when the only sounds intermingling are those of wind and water. Using acoustic piano as the front-line instrument in the peaceful, New Age-styled reverie “Rain, Then Snow” adds a wholly different dimension to the recording, as does the prominent role accorded DeJoie’s flute in the slow-motion title piece, a move that deepens the quiet grandeur of a twelve-minute moodscape that in its closing minutes approaches the profound stillness of an Arvo Pärt composition.
Nuance and sensitivity extend not only to the material itself but to the recording approach Greinke applied to the project. By design, the string instruments were recorded in such a way that the extra-musical sounds that naturally arise during performance, such as the sound of a bow moving across the strings, would be retained. In the composer’s own words, “I instructed the musicians not to shy away from squeaks and scrapes that sometimes happen while playing such instruments … I find that those sounds evoke a lonely, abandoned landscape that appeals to me.” The result is music obviously rich in texture and mood but music rich in humanity, too.
An artist cannot really be represented by a single release, but rather is suggested through an accumulation of work. Throughout his lengthy and varied career Jeff Greinke has gone through an evolution – or maybe, because of its length and so many interesting twists and turns, this aspect of his life may be better described as a convolution. While his earlier albums searched through the rubble of the unconscious, Before Sunrise(57’20”) switches from the cerebral to the specific. With the rigorous organization of the interplay of texture, melody and harmony, and stemming from a developed instinct, he organizes Ambient forms to give his creativity a lucid expression. As usual, Greinke approached the task of producing Before Sunrise with a point of view all his own. Due to the presence of cello, clarinet, piano, vibraphone, flute, French horn, violin and viola this release may be thought to fall in the category of Ambient Chamber Music – and certainly, if you like this sort of thing, then you will not be disappointed. But Greinke has always been a musical outsider – not even faintly trying to get inside – and so these eight tracks do retain that feel and integrity to one degree or another. Some sections of Before Sunrise flow like a spiritual quest for life’s meaning, while others celebrate the outlaw life this remote genre of music may support. As the unwinding ribbon of notes from a violin bend plaintively, droning strings support a melodious narration. Further in a wooded wild place materializes, where we wait, under stars, in the cool of night, well in advance of the first sign of dawn. Thickening under a solemn atmosphere, we may feel a nocturnal presence – like something impending. Possessing the capacity to inspire contradictory responses, it is often very gorgeous – this strange and beautiful wayward place of sound. After all these years, decades of making records, Greinke still asks for nothing more than our quiet attention. There is something radical about that, and about such stubborn faith in one’s work – and in us.
Before Sunrise’ marks the 20th solo album for ambient artist Jeff Greinke, not counting his collaborations. It’s a shame that a number of them are out of print, although there have been some reissues. I first experienced Greinke’s work in the late ’80s to early ’90s and so am familiar with only a handful of his recordings. What I liked about them is that they seemed dark and arcane at the time; not dark in a Robert Rich or Lustmord sort of way, but less conventional ambient than what others in the genre seemed to be doing then. If you’ve been out of touch with Greinke’s music as well, you will find that it has evolved into something quite different, yet not without retaining the flavor and texture Greinke is known for. Greinke’s crepuscular vision of ‘Before Sunrise’ is a rich tapestry of acoustic instruments played by guest players (Greg Campbell- French horn, vibraphone, hand drum; Lesli Dalaba- trumpet; James DeJoie- clarinets, saxophones, flutes; Alex Guy- viola; Paris Hurley- violin; Austin Larkin- viola, violin; Dylan Rieck- cello) combined with Greinke’s signature electro-acoustic atmospheres and keyboard improvs. It’s an impressionistic kind of ambient, fairly well removed from the New Age melodic ambient you might expect to hear with orchestral instruments combined with synthesizers. This is a pretty deep work with a number of moods and soundscapes explored over the course of 8 tracks in 57 minutes; everything from rumbling darkness to splinters of moonlight piercing through a many-layered forest of sound, to sparkly fairy lights. By its nature, ‘Before Sunrise’ has an aura of melancholy mystery to it that always seems to be evolving. It is almost hard to believe that the music has been largely improvised as the instrumental coordination is so stellar that it often seems as though there had to have been some rather complex arrangements in places. The layering of atmospheres is extraordinary in its richness, yet nothing is buried. Rather than overtake Greinke’s atmospheres, the acoustic instruments enhance it and add their own piquancy to what is already a pretty heady stew. ‘Before Sunrise’ is a trip well worth taking, and is intriguing enough to warrant multiple replays.
He’s been actively recording music since the early 80s, with well over two dozen releases to his credit, yet probably not as prolific as some others in the floating ambient subgenre, but his creations are clearly different, embracing acoustic instrumentation as a fundamental part of his electronic based sound, thereby often making his music a hybrid of chamber styles and ambient electronics. I’ve not heard every release, in fact probably only around ten of them throughout the years, but they all seem to follow along in that general direction. Before Sunrise makes good on all of his previous endeavors, seeming to be a very natural progression along a somewhat expected trajectory. Each of the eight tracks of varying length stay around long enough to make an impressionistic statement without wearing down the listener with endless or unnecessary repetition or extension. The nine-minute opener, “High Flyers of the Night Sky,” is probably one of the most purely floating and subtle electronic amont them all, but even there, among the gentle keyboard sounds and textures, we hear strong melodies emerging from the drones in the darkness, flanked by baritone sax from guest player James DeJoie, french horn from Greg Campbell, trumpet from Lesli Dalaba, and soothing violin from Austin Larkin, such that by the end of the piece we are treated to a truly colorful and mystical kaleidoscope of light and shadows. “Slow Train on an Open Plain” is a perfect title for the follow-up track that emerges out of the shadow of the first, here more string-driven with violin, viola and cello, with french horn driving the main melody punctuated by beautiful piano ornamentation. “Under Falling Stars” is a piece that proceeds with a stong melodic looping cycle, it’s all Greinke here with no guest players, using a wide variety of keyboard sounds together with samples of acoustic instruments. The perfectly titled “Mountains and Clouds” evokes a moving stillness bathed in fog, a sound that Greinke has been perfecting over several decades, the changes within this beautiful six-minute piece move at a truly glacial pace. The 12-minute closing title track evokes the sounds and feelings of night, with flute, horn, baritone sax, and violin floating through the electronic textures and piano accents, like the shapes of muted colors and subtle powers emerging from the fringes of darkness. Make no mistake, this is relaxing music, be it a ticket to slumberland or a way to start your day without stress. Another excellent release from a master of organic structures.

The time runs fast, already four years have passed since Jeff Greinke’s “Virga” album, released on Lotuspike. For all that time I didn’t hear anything about this extraordinary artist, who is based in Tucson, Arizona. So the more surprised I was when “Scenes From A Train” CD crossed my radars via Hypnos Forum (thanks “Immersion” for the hint!!!). Yes, this release went by quite unnoticed within broader ambient community, it’s a pity, because it deserves much bigger exposure even if it’s not rooted to Jeff’s older, more spookier ambient/dark ambient soundworlds. “Scenes From A Train” CD rather follows footsteps of his rhythmed, jazzy-infused side project Land. Released in June 2013 on UK label Infectious Music, Jeff Greinke is supported on this album by the long list of guests (there is no less than 13 of them!!!). Among them some which were part of above mentioned Land project.
Filigree musicianship is heard all over this entertaining sonic escapade. Richly flavored textures, merging warmer scenic vistas with lots of acoustic instrumentation and cascading from funky jazzy rhythms through weirdly tribal fields to sorrowful cinematic subtleties. Appealingly moving jazzy-funk/tribal pace of the opening title track “Scenes From A Train” immediately sets the atmosphere of a picturesque railroad travel. Bowed string mastery excels on sadly expressive piece, “The Beautiful Storm”, while the next one, “Valley And Ridge” shifts back to rhythmed rails, where sparkling percussive tinkles with gentle clackers and shakers beautifully interact with the variety of bowed strings and wind instruments. Catchy laid-back train-like pace is achieved, while mingling with warmly inviting window’s horizons. Pure beauty!!! Breathtakingly evocative mixture of trumpet, clarinet and viola leads “The Milky Way”. Few dramatic crescendos sneak in throughout this stunningly expressive track. Small amount of exquisite Middle East fragrance is thrown in too (evoking unforgettable “Ngaio Gamelan”…). Deeply immersing cinematic realms are fully unfolded, more please!!! An ultimate Hall of Fame composition!!! Jazzy and tribal ingredients are again bridged in “Strange Birds”, a piece driven by percussive downtempos, piano, cello and wind instruments. Hauntingly sculpted!!! “Haboob” keeps on the distinctive route with all the guitar and acoustic mastery, heavier post-rock infusions are featured in this oddly unique piece. Fortunately, aptly titled “Night Train” returns quickly to relaxing tribal mood surrounded by the interactions of trombone, clarinet, horn and distant dronescapes. Very nice!!! The album ends with “Autumn Moon”, which features leisurely embracing and rhythmically stirring texture, augmented by velvety tinkles and female wordless ethereal chants. A truly enthralling finale!!!
“Scenes From A Train” album offers an all-inclusive, highly distinguishing travelogue experience, presented by challenging creativity of each participant. Jeff Greinke has teamed with many virtuoso performers, who have delivered to this recording their soul and spirit. Aural bliss awaits here, definitely!!! Excuse me for not mentioning any names of the guests in this review (plus mixing and mastering engineers), but it’s the music that speaks for themselves and I didn’t want to leave someone out. And I award extra points also for the visuals, the 4-panel digipak comes with additional 8-page booklet, precisely displaying the theme and dedication of each performer. The old Jeff Greinke is gone, that’s for sure (at least on this album), but “Scenes From A Train” CD is a really big one as well, welcome back, Maestro!!!
Virga is the eighteenth release from Jeff Greinke, whose respected career as a musician, composer, performer and sound-sculptor spans 25 years. With a discography that includes album titles like Weather From Another Planet, Cities In Fog, Big Weather, Changing Skies, Moving Climates, and Before The Storm to name a few, it’s clear that Greinke draws great inspiration from the atmospheric conditions of his environment. “This music is informed by my visual surroundings, primarily the landscapes, big skies and weather of the desert Southwest,” confirms Greinke, who currently resides in Tucson, Arizona, where the Virga phenomenon is common during the monsoon season.
The music on Virga takes shape as strata of slow moving melodies stream their way through expansive atmospherics and pastoral passages of ambient chamber music, highlighted by cello, trumpet and piano on many selections; all drifting together to construct complex harmonic musical skyscapes. The cumulative result is a collection of vast, textural, cinematic, and melodic compositions with a strong sense of mood and place that gently evolve and drift… like the clouds themselves.
To these ears, Virga, the latest offering from Jeff Greinke, is a stunning soundtrack in search of the touching, beautiful, meaningful film to which it should rightfully belong. A neo-classical work edged with ambient expressions, Virga is emotionally packed and gorgeously constructed. It’s engaging from the first spattering of here-comes-the-rain notes in the opening title track and proceeds to just get deeper and more interesting from there. Greinke has always composed with a strong cinematic flair and that, along with his stated intent to capture the feel of the environment as a storm approaches, carries clearly through all the pieces on Virga. In “The Wake,” Greinke conjures darkening skies in a slow-moving, somber tone. I love the Asian-flavored edge at work in “East Facing Slope.” (Similarly, I enjoyed that same feel in “Moving to Malaysia” from Winter Light.) There’s a strong Mark Isham quality to the track–think Tibet–that makes it the musical equivalent of staring into a Japanese pen-and-ink drawing or watching the colors darken on a mountainside as weather rolls in. “Before the Storm” deftly captures its titular image as woodwinds swirl like gathering clouds and distantly rumbling bass notes carry the blue-black threat of hard rain. “Contrails” is suitably light in tone, with wispy piano notes and high synth strings describing washed-blue skies and the return of the sun. By contrast, its followup track, “Partial Light,” imparts an edge of drama with an abundance of minor chords, long-held notes and phrases that ease down the scale in short steps, all with a gentle rush of wind beneath it. There’s a pure and gentle romance to the stilted structure of “Old Friends” that quite honestly threatens to move me to tears. Greinke’s master craftsmanship is on display here, track after track. Every piece of work here is rich and full, landscapes completely described in intimate detail while still leaving space for you to create your own mental pictures. This is a disk you’ll return to often to re-explore, and it will easily stand up to the scrutiny. For its depth and beauty, Virga is a Hypnagogue Highly Recommended CD.
Jeff Greinke (joined on several tracks by cellist Christiana Morgan and trumpet player Lesli Dalaba) continues to evolve his music away from his more abstract and textural ambient beginnings, choosing to explore a more melodic neo-classical minimalist landscape on Virga, his latest CD and, from where I stand, one of the best recordings of his long career. While some cuts are less overtly “soundtrackish” than his previous CD, venturing into ambient soundscape territory, I believe that the overriding musical presence here is still closer to that of Winter Light and, to a lesser but still noticeable degree, Wide View, than it is to past works such as In Another Place, Places of Motility and Cities in Fog.
I’m well aware that some of Greinke’s long-time fans are somewhat discouraged by this new direction he is headed in, and they are entitled to that opinion of course. However, baring the obvious statement that an artist must answer the call of his/her muse if he/she is to be true to his/her musical self, I think this new direction represents a greater depth of emotion, a more complex (certainly not less so) approach to the music itself, and resonates on a more direct (i.e. less abstract) level than purer “ambient” pieces ever could. Of course, that’s only my personal opinion.
Not everything on Virga is confined to the neo-classical minimalist description from above, though. The opening title track features a rapid tempo piano theme played out against swirling keyboards, descending in a lush crescendo of sorts. “night flyers” opens amidst a nocturnal chorus of synthesized creatures set against shimmering synthesizers and a plaintive echoed piano. As he did on Winter Light‘s “Moving to Malaysia” and “Under the Pagoda,” Greinke again displays his affinity for Asian musical influences on “east facing slope” with gently plucked koto and delicate bell tones, joined by Morgan’s sonorous cello and Dalaba’s trumpet. “contrails” flows on airy layers of keyboards underneath echoed piano and the track could easily be classified as spacemusic especially when a particularly warm analog-ish sounding synthesizer is brought into focus.
In the end, Virga is less “passive” yet also more ambient, at times, than Winter Light may have been perceived, but it’s a subtle distinction for the most part. If you, like me, love this new direction that Jeff Greinke is headed in, you will greatly enjoy delving into the many pleasures of Virga, walking down its paths of beauty tinted with wonder married to despair, and serenity clouded by mystery. By the way, it goes without saying that since this is a Lotuspike release, and mastered by Ben Cox, the sound is tremendous, rife with nuance and finely captured detail and expertly mixed and engineered from every perspective. | 2019-04-18T18:44:22 | http://www.jeffgreinke.com/ |

Please don't hate me. But, I was one of the lucky 66,483 people who attended the very first regular season Minnesota Vikings football game at the new U.S. Bank Stadium last Sunday evening.
However, unlike some of the folks at the game, I had not spent some crazy amount of money for my ticket. I heard stories of tickets being sold for hundreds of dollars. Maybe even a couple of thousand dollars. I would guess that was some rabid Packers fan who now regrets that decision.
No, I didn't spend a nickel on my ticket. Mine came from my favorite son-in-law, Wade Volk, who got them from his brother, Troy Volk, owner of Volk Transfer in Mankato. The Volk firm does all the trucking for the Vikings, from hauling the equipment to Mankato during training camp, to trucking the game programs from Brown Printing in Waseca to the stadium.
Sen. Julie Rosen at the Vikings stadium.
My being at the first regular season Vikings game at their new stadium continues a long personal tradition.
I was in attendance at the last Vikings game at Metropolitan Stadium, the very first game at the new Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome and the last game played at the Dome.
You may recall my column a while back where I confessed to my criminal background. I had stolen seats from the Met Stadium after that last game. But then, so did everyone who was there. Some even tried to take the goal posts home as a souvenir.
But I digress. You want to know about the new stadium, not the old ones.
U.S. Bank Stadium is indeed something to see. It is huge and feels wide open. A little bit like the old Dome, but on steroids. From those huge glass doors to half the roof being glass, it doesn't feel as closed in as the Dome did.
But while the inside is great looking, the outside, at least to me, looks a bit like Noah's Ark just landed in downtown Minneapolis. I think it is supposed to look ship-like, but its massive size is hard to disguise. There is a normal size Vikings ship in front of the stadium, right about where the old Metrodome sign was located.
Despite all the hype, the hallways still feel small, the restrooms are no way big enough, and the place is noisy. Really noisy. The sound system blasts out everything, from the constant music to the announcer to crowd noise. It's difficult to hear what the person next to you is saying. Sometimes that is a blessing, however, if you are sitting next to an inebriated, obnoxious Packers fan.
But, on the plus side, there is a wide variety of interesting food items for sale, and they have a lot of craft beer stands for those of us who enjoy good beer. Of course, you will have to bring along some serious cash in order to purchase that beer. Actually, at $6 to $10 per beer, it is a fairly normal price for a stadium these days.
They say that every seat in the place has an excellent view of the field, and I think that is true. After all, this is finally a true football stadium. The old Met was a baseball field used for football, while the Dome attempted to be both a football and a baseball field thus failing to be either.
The new jumbo-trons are huge and terrific, as is just about everything in the shiny, new facility. The lighting is fantastic and there were even fireworks and purple lights and a halftime show and, well, it was a great time.
What can't you do when you spend $1.2 billion?
When I entered the stadium through those huge glass doors the first person to greet me was our own state senator, Julie Rosen.
You may recall Sen. Rosen was perhaps the biggest proponent in the State Legislature for building a new Vikings stadium. She worked hard to make it a reality and took a lot of grief about it. But, she was sure all smiles on Sunday.
"What do you think of the place?" she asked me.
Impressive, I told her. Very impressive. And I meant it.
Oh, and did I mention that the Vikings beat that over-hyped team from Green Bay? | 2019-04-20T22:13:40 | http://faribaultcountyregister.com/page/content.detail/id/511776/I-was-sure-ready-for-some-football.html?nav=5001 |

When I first started knitting this piece, it seemed very timely; the tulips were starting to bloom, and the weather was finally heating up. I even took the flannel sheets off my bed. Of course, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so now it's freaking snowing. Before I start complaining about the cold spring, however, I should mention some important stuff - mainly, that this cowl is worked in two colors of sock weight yarn on size US 5 needles to give it extra airiness. Because the warm weather will arrive eventually, right?
You may be wondering why this thing is called the Nom Nom Garter Hat. The answer to that question is simple - it's because it will eat up your yarn scraps like "nom nom nom!" Before we get started, however, I should tell you a couple of things - first of all, you need roughly 50 yards each of your two main colors in order to get this hat going. Provided you have that, you can do your accent colors with quite small amounts of any worsted- or dk-weight yarns (or smaller, if you hold two strands together!). Also, I wrote my color combination out here so that you could make the hat with the exact same color scheme, if you wanted. Please, however, feel free to ignore my accent coloring (colors C - J), and do your own instead! If you choose to do this, however, you'll definitely want to pay attention to the length of the stockinette stripe on this hat - it is a better indication of the finished length than the garter stitch. To make the color pop, after all, you'll be blocking the snot out of this thing, and the garter will stretch a LOT.
Oh, and last but not least - I designed this hat back-and-forth, both for my peeps who avoid circular knitting, and because that's the only way to truly take advantage of the garter stitch. If you need help converting the pattern for circular knitting, just ask!
This is how I kept my colors straight! | 2019-04-21T14:10:24 | http://www.ballstothewallsknits.com/2015/04/ |
Past the grain elevator and the bar famous for its fried chicken, Oklahoma Highway 3 leads to a century-old church where the Rev. Stanley Francis Rother served as an altar boy.
Yellowish-green grass and brown fields awaiting the planting of the next wheat crop in a few months adorn the prairie as men in western shirts, women carrying babies, and children in shorts and dresses fill the pews.
Year after year, the slain priest’s childhood church celebrates a special anniversary Mass, remembering the sacrifice Rother made to serve Mayan descendants in a poor, mountain village 50 miles west of Guatemala City.
Now, excitement builds for a Sept. 23 beatification ceremony expected to draw up to 12,000 to the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City.
“We have people coming in from all across the country and all across the world,” said Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, who gave the homily at the memorial Mass.
Beatification is the last major step before sainthood — a fact that both thrills and amazes Rother’s loved ones in this farm town of 1,200, about 40 miles northwest of the state capital.
“To be a guy who came out of a little old farm out here, it’s just hard to believe,” said the priest’s brother, Tom Rother, his voice breaking with emotion.
Nobody expected the farm boy born during an Oklahoma dust storm in 1935 to become a priest — much less a saint.
As a high school student at Holy Trinity Catholic School, Rother took a vocational agriculture course. His brother studied Latin. Family members still chuckle that Stanley became a clergyman, while Tom stayed on the farm.
Later, Rother struggled with Latin and flunked out of his first seminary. But he stuck with his studies and eventually graduated from a different seminary. He was ordained in 1963 and served several Oklahoma parishes, before volunteering for mission service in Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala, in 1968.
In his 13 years in Guatemala, the priest who had trouble with Latin learned Spanish and his parishioners’ Tz’utujil language, even working to translate the New Testament’s Gospels into the native dialect.
Amid political and military unrest in the late 1970s, parishioners began disappearing, their bodies found dumped on roadsides. By 1981, Rother knew that he was on a “hit list,” according to the Oklahoma City archdiocese.
Several other Catholic priests — at least 13 — were killed during the war, branded as communists in collusion with left-wing revolutionary guerrillas.
But after a final trip home to visit his family early that year, the 46-year-old priest returned to Guatemala in time for Holy Week.
Three masked assassins who were never identified shot Rother in his rectory in the early hours of July 28, 1981. The Oklahoman had sided with local Indians against the government.
Those who knew Rother remember him as a devoted, humble servant.
However, Okarche — a town with German roots once known primarily for Eischen’s Bar, the oldest in the state — draws an increasing number of visitors interested in Rother’s story.
“We’ve got a lot of tourists coming,” said the Rev. John Peter Swaminathan, a missionary priest from India, who serves as Holy Trinity’s pastor.
The Catholic Church says all those in heaven are saints. Canonization is a solemn affirmation by the church to the faithful that a particular person is in heaven, and that the person’s life and virtues are especially worthy of emulation and veneration.
To become a saint, a miracle must be verified after his beatification, Coakley explained.
Already, though, Catholics in this town cite examples of the slain priest interceding for them.
When Joe Rother’s sister, Sandra Rother McGougan, suffered a brain aneurysm, doctors gave her family a dire prognosis.
But then a former parish priest visited Stanley Rother’s grave and requested healing for McGougan. She survived surgery with no brain damage.
A statue of Rother greeting a little girl — based on a photograph from his time in Guatemala — stands outside the Okarche church.
Joe Wittrock, a 65-year-old parish council member who has attended Holy Trinity all his life, said he walks past the statue nearly every morning.
About a month and a half ago, lightning struck the church — but damage was minimal.
Did divine intervention occur during an Oklahoma thunderstorm? | 2019-04-22T14:58:56 | https://sojo.net/articles/first-us-born-martyr-approved-beatification-evokes-awe-stirs-faith |

We spent the night before Valentine’s getting sweaty with 300 people in a church. So, you know, that’s another thing off the bucket list. The Kilfinane church gig with Revelations Rocks was bonkers –at one stage there were four different people up on shoulders going mental. That’s only very rarely happened at any church we’ve been to before. Check out John’s tweet video * here * for proof of the madness!
Its great to see local venues take a risk to do something different, and special –these boys definitely know what they’re doing, take a trip down to Kilfinane’s Old Chapel and check out their next show down there.
You can check out tickets in the shows section!
Spain has been a second home for us recently, and feels so special to be back there, some of our best memories are from playing Spanish festivals. We are very fortunate to be invited back and made feel so welcome! In amongst that is a very special gig in Ardgillan Castle at the Raveloid Festival – an Irish Language themed festival at the start of June. As well as being a great big festival in North County Dublin where we’re from, it’s also got a unique spin with the focus on Gaeilge – It’s going to be magic.
We are working on new tunes in our spare time, which is the bizz. | 2019-04-19T22:30:49 | https://www.delorentos.net/summer-festivals-announced-new-acoustic-video-church-sweaty/ |
Gary Illyes from Google has written a blog post titled What Crawl Budget Means for Googlebot. In it, he explains what crawl budget is, how crawl rate limits work, what crawl demand is and what factors impact a site’s crawl budget.
First, Gary explained that for most sites, crawl budget is not something to worry about. For really large sites, it becomes something to consider looking at.
“Prioritizing what to crawl, when, and how much resource the server hosting the site can allocate to crawling is more important for bigger sites, or those that auto-generate pages based on URL parameters,” Gary said.
The blog post goes on to explain what factors impact crawl budget and then provides some FAQs on the topic. | 2019-04-22T06:01:10 | https://searchengineland.com/google-explains-crawl-budget-means-webmasters-267597/amp |
the French architecture and sculpture of the Renaissance no less than in the criticism and the literature.
The seeds of humanism were brought to the Iberian peninsula by a few students who had visited Italy in the fifteenth century. The Spaniard Arias Barbosa, who had studied under Politian, was regarded by his countrymen as their first effective Hellenist. He lectured on Greek for about twenty years at the University of Salamanca, attracting his hearers not only by "a large and rich vein of learning," but also by his poetical taste. A higher fame, however, was gained by his contemporary, Antonio Lebrixa ("Nebrissensis"). After a sojourn of ten years in Italy, Lebrixa returned to Spain in 1473, and taught successively at the Universities of Seville, Salamanca, and Alcalä. He is described as inferior to Barbosa in Greek scholarship, but wider in his range of knowledge, which included Hebrew. Lebrixa's reputation among his Spanish contemporaries, though not in Europe at large, was comparable to that which Budaeus enjoyed in France. He had some distinguished pupils. One of them was Fernando de Guzman Nunez, better known as "Pintianus" (from Pintia, the ancient name of Val-ladolid), whose fame even eclipsed his master's. Nunez taught Greek at Alcalä, and subsequently at Salamanca, but in literature was best known by an edition of Seneca which appeared in 1536. Another pupil of Lebrixa, the Portuguese historian and poet Resende, did much to promote classical education at Lisbon. | 2019-04-21T16:57:43 | https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Cambridge_Modern_History_Volume_1.djvu/614 |
AURORA, NY -- Thousands queued up Thursday for an average of three hours in a line that snaked through the beautiful manicured MacKenzie-Childs grounds in search of discounted deals during the annual barn sale.
Vendors walked up and down the line offering fancy mixed drinks to cool down the crowd.
Shoppers entered 150 at a time every 15 minutes. Once inside another line of nearly a half hour greeted shoppers looking for a shopping cart.
Seemingly endless stock was packed on shelves, and tucked into boxes on pallets. Employees worked continually replenishing shelves from the back. There was no question that everyone entering could satisfy their desires for discounted merchandise.
At the end near the checkout even seasoned barn sale shoppers started to show fatigue. The once spirited shoppers dressed up in Courtly Check looked longingly at the next line to stand in.
Treasures in hand they marched on like children waiting in line for an amusement park ride. | 2019-04-23T00:35:53 | https://www.syracuse.com/news/2018/07/mackenzie-childs_barn_sale_three_hours_in_line_for_discounted_courtly_check_phot.html |

Hello, Joslyn! You are right. Fashion Bomb Daily is a well oiled machine with several writers.
We typically take on interns, who receive a stipend for 3 months work, then we bring them on to the team. We draw up independent contractor contracts, have weekly meetings, and a schedule.
Fashion Bomb Daily wouldn’t be anything without our team. With the proliferation of red carpet events and celeb style moments, it would either be impossible or crazy to do everything alone.
I think a lot of celeb style and gossip bloggers make the mistake of not taking on help. It’s easy to be like: this is MY thing. But in order to grow, you must have the help of supportive staff that sees the bigger picture.
Finding the right people is hard to do, but I’ve learned quite a bit about being a good boss and leader over the years. A few tips: Pay people. Offer Incentives. Show Appreciation. Treat them like you care. Listen to their goals. And ultimately in order for you to be successful, help others be successful.
I have this dream of leading a pack of well heeled women. And one of my greatest inspirations, Oprah, pushed her career forward by creating stars of the people on her staff (Iyanla, Dr. Phil, and Suze Ormon are a few people Oprah has made famous by her cosign).
Build a great staff, then hold on to them. I’m still figuring this out, but making stars of the FBD team is my goal. | 2019-04-19T00:36:05 | http://www.thebomblife.com/ask-claire-how-do-you-build-a-team-wearing-topshop-benenate-collection-and-casadei/ |

Rinse fish with water. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Cover in olive oil, lemon juice, coarse sea salt, cracked black pepper & dill weed. Place slices of butter and lemons on top before grilling. Grill at 500 degrees until fish reaches 140 degrees. This one was only about 1/2 inch thick so I grilled for 6 minutes. We recommend to buy salmon with the skin on. Grill skin down and we do not flip the fish. Take skin off before serving.

Dark Physics & Dark A.I. & Dark Dynamix / [dark dynamix] Trying to Make working wheels is hell..
To say that I am in total confusion is too little.
I studied the DarkDynamix demo "vehicle" (NOT the advanced one) and I understand so and so all.
I tried to apply same method but I got a lot of strange things..
The baddest one is that my wheels sink inside the ground..
After a lot of tests and tests I back to the vehicle demo and I notice that the little vehicle is laying NOT on one meshed ground object (as the one I am using on my program) but this wehicle laying on a dedicated ground.
this dedicated ground is made using "DYN MAKE GROUND PLANE"
If I take off this "DYN MAKE GROUND PLANE" command so I obtain strange behaviour in the vehicle demo too.. like the tyres start to bouncing in a krazy way..
1) Can I put a DARK DYNAMIX WHEEL on another DarkDynamix object like a CUBE or a CONVEX MESH object (my ground object) and to obtain this wheel work fine?
2) what is the right step to make a wheel joined to a body?
C) I rotate the wheels object in a right way to be wheels for my main object.
SO HOW CAN I join these wheels to a main object (with own coords), using their already set coordinates???
G)When the wheels are joined to the main body so I have to remember to put the DYN WHEEL UPDATE command.
I notice that the render debugger show me an arrow indicator starting from the wheel actor.. What exactly is this indicator? Is just the weigh of the wheel?
In some cases I obtained my wheels laying correctly on the ground (my ground is a static actor) and joined correctly on my main object (if the main object is pushed so the wheels show them are linked) but with a total incoordination and far from the main body object..
Ok, I made a SEA of experiments, changing density, mass, XYZ positions of the wheels and I got some results. Not again all problems solved but some goals.
AND I JOINED MY WHEELS TO THE SAME MAIN BODY WHERE I JOINED ALL OTHER AIRPLANE PARTS.
I put my 3 wheels in the CORRECT POSITION from the main airplane body object (I joined the wheels on this object).
The result is that the FRONTAL wheel sink in the ground and start to vibrate..
I using a SMALL SIZE world (1 3D pixel = 1 meter) but this time I put my FRONTAL wheel in a wrong position, more near to other wheels, (obviously no airplanes has this configuration) but using this WRONG wheels configuration I can obtain the FRONTAL wheel NOT sinking inside the ground!..
If I back to compile my program putting the FRONTAL wheel back near to the correct position so I back to obtain my FRONTAL wheel sink inside the ground.
and seems to working really fine! No frontal wheel sinking inside the ground here!.
and help me to understand the logic about all that.. I really pushing my brain outside my skull..
I have found that getting the correct scale for your world is pretty important. Note also that wheels are not like any other shape, they can't be any way around, the arrows must point down.
Skin width, very important for stability of the simulation, if you scale up too much then the skin width may need increasing.
Timing, look at timing information, setting to smaller sub-steps increases simulation accuracy at the expense of cpu.
Getting physics to play nice can be frustrating at times, scale, joints and timing all have optimum values for any given situation and they can be difficult to find at times. That said, once you have a little experience it becomes easier, my first vehicle took a long time to set-up but now I can set them up pretty quick.
Quote: "I have found that getting the correct scale for your world is pretty important. Note also that wheels are not like any other shape, they can't be any way around, the arrows must point down.
1) To scale the world in a COORDINATE WAY (distances, density and mass) but at this point, what better? small or big size??
2) "they can't be any way around"
My english can't let me understand well what you mean.. Do you mean that the whell shape can't be perfectly ROUND?
so for example I need to use a more squared wheel?
OR you mean the wheels can't be put too far from the main object?
3) Ok the debug arrow must to point down.
4) "Skin width".. what you mean for Skin width? Are you talking about textures?
5) timing optimization. Yea, I already notice that and I will start soon to do some experiments!
6) question: DENSITY = hardness and MASS = weight?
Skin width is a separate setting in dynamics. It defines how much objects can go inside each other without the simulation pushing them apart. So it allows the simulation to handle collisions in a smoother way.
Experiment with 'width' to find a value which looks ok (i.e. the objects don't overlap too much) and also results in a stable simulation. Your wheels sinking into the ground may be partly to do with skin width.
As for density and mass, they are related! So MASS is calculated from DENSITY. A low density is something like foam or air. A high density is something like metal or rock. If you set an object to a density of 1.0, an object may have a mass of 20. If you then set the density to 2.0, the object will have a mass of 40.
MASS is calculated from the density and the size of the collision object.
Keep doing your experiments. It's the best way to learn and understand how physX works!
Quote: ""they can't be any way around" "
You should only set mass if you have good reason to do so(sometimes needed for ragdoll stability). Setting the density saves you from working out how heavy something should be, the mass is automatically calculated from the density and the size of the object.
Fallout and Matty H, your help is like a treasure for me!
Do post up your experiments because we're learning things too from what you're doing. I haven't played with wheels yet so anything you find out will be useful to read.
Yes Fallout, I will update my progress in next days.
Since now I following a gradual grow up of results, just hope I can continue with this rhythm 'cause the matter complexity growing up too and my brain cells already hating me..
Dudes after a sad massacre of a lot of my brain cells I finally got what I wanted!
I could not accept that I was forced to use a big scale world to make my airplane wheels working good!
and all wheels working PERFECTLY!
If the wheel Z position overtake the 0 value and becomes a positive value so I obtain my wheel sinking in the ground..
But I don't want to try to understand this damn complex numbers behaviour.. I'm just glad I got the result before becoming mad..
That's really strange! How about if you start the plane at +10 or more on the z-axis? If that works, it could be something to do with floating point maths precision. i.e. For values lower than 10 (or larger than -10) the physX maths becomes less accurate in this case.
That sounds very wrong to me though. It should behave the same at any value, excluding really extreme high values. I would recommend looking through your code as closely as possible and see if there is anything else happening. There may be a component in your world that isn't changing as you move the plane backwards on the z-axis, and it's this component combined with the plane z position that is causing it to be stable/unstable.
- Is there anything on the ground the plane interacts with?
- Is there a physX component of the plane which isn't repositioned when you move the plane back on the z-axis?
- Do you make the joints before or after you move the plane back on the z-axis?
- Are the spring settings affected by the plane position?
- Do you perform any plane setup steps after positioning the plane?
We must get to the bottom of this mystery! Post up your plane setup and positioning code if you like!
1)I MUST to make my AIRPLANE STARTING POSITION with the Z position as NEGATIVE so that obtain my FRONTAL WHEEL starting position IS A NEGATIVE VALUE.
No chanches to obtain my AIRPLANE STARTING POSITION with a Z positive value cause this mean the frontal wheel will be in positive position causing the sink..
And no chances to use a Z negative position that don't permit to have the frontal wheel in a negative position too.
So the FIRST important thing is that THE FRONTAL WHEEL STARTING POSITION MUST to be a negative value. All other things come after.
2) This problematic is related ONLY about the start of the simulation, when the airplane is created on the 3D space.
This does not mean that the wheels can't be in a Z positive value later in my program.
In fact after the "born" of the airplane, my wheels accepting all XYZ positions. It's a problem related to the BORN POSITION.
3) The MAIN OBJECT (where all the wheels and other airplane parts are joined) born in X=0 , Y=0+airplane_add_height#, Z=0.
The body wheels (left and right wheels) both born with a Z negative positions and the frontal wheel is the only one which should born in a positive Z positions (If I want to put it in the right position from the main body).
So this fact let happen the strange behaviour..
Then I simply make my airplane born position is shifted in the Z axis in a way let all wheels are with Z negative position using the start position variables.
1)"- Is there anything on the ground the plane interacts with?"
Yes I put some spheres and some other object. These objects are set with physics so If one object will touch the airplane I got the physic collision.
Remember that my airplane is made by 9 objects joined. AND THE AIRPLANE IS NOT A LIMBED OBJECT. It's just a main body where I join all other airplane parts.
So I have not a limbed object but an airplane made by 9 pieces perfectly joined. For precision are 8 pieces joined to 1 main body.
2) "- Is there a physX component of the plane which isn't repositioned when you move the plane back on the z-axis?"
3) "- Do you make the joints before or after you move the plane back on the z-axis?"
10,0 and 12 are the position from the main object. So I already the right position for my future joints.
You can see I am adding the starting variables to these 10,0 and 12 so I can obtain to change the main airplane position.
E) I make all my objects set with physics giving density value.
F) I make the joints.
So you can notice I make the joints only AFTER I already build and set position of my airplane parts.
4)"Are the spring settings affected by the plane position?"
Currently I am not using springs.
I just noticed that If I am using a BIG SCALE WORLD (and again not using spring settings) so my wheels are really rigid when touching ground.
If I am using a LITTLE SCALE WORLD (and again not springs set) I see my wheels as if they had a spring or a damper that link these wheels to the main object..
5) "- Do you perform any plane setup steps after positioning the plane?"
Do you mean when start loop start?
Currently I have my airplane without any controls or new setting after the main loop start.
Please load the Contacts.dbpro main file!
In this version I using Z start position = -10 so it's working fine!
From -9 to a positive value = frontal wheel sinking inside ground..
I didn't modify any of the code but I had a quick look through it and noticed a few things.
You don't set up the timing. The default is probably ok, but it might be worth experimenting with that.
It's 9 + plane z. Which means when you put the plane at -10, you're putting the front wheel at -1. So it looks like it's as soon as the front wheel goes into a negative position. Interesting.
As you're using a flat plane and turning it into a box, that may cause strange behaviour. How can the physics object have depth/thickness if the 3D plane doesn't? Try replacing the make object plane command with make object box command and see if that does anything.
Experiment with the global anchor position, even though it should not matter. Try setting the global anchor position to the plane x,y,z or just move it forwards on the z-axis to see if that has any effect!
Just a few suggestions for further experimentation. Hope they help!
Lots going on here so it's hard t tell what is causing the inconsistencies.
Fallout makes some good points, having your ground as a box should help with the wheel falling through the ground, in fact it will be impossible if the box is deep enough. I will also note that height-fields(which you may use for terrain collision) also have a depth value(unlike tri-meshes) which prevents tunnelling(wheel falling through floor). The physics plane shape also has infinite depth and will not allow things to fall through.
I would guess that the reason changing the position of the wheel seems to help could be because there is less force on the wheel, too much force could force it to tunnel through the floor.
One good tip when working with wheels is to create a collision object(box) around the wheel in a way that does not affect the way the wheel contacts the surface. This is because wheel shapes only collide from below, any contacts from the side can produce undesirable results. Think of the wheel shape as an abstract simulation shape, you still may need to add a solid collision shape, this would also help with tunnelling issues.
Ahh really great advices to test! Timing, right ground shape and a different way to joint the wheels seems to be really cool points to make a better and stable situation. In fact it's an illocigal thing to make a flat surface and giving it a box shape..
About timing.. It's correct If I say that "the timing it's a way to let the physic engine to use more or less time to analyze and UNDERSTAND the physical scene? More time used to make this analysis so more precise the physic engine will to work. (slowing the fps obviously)" ?
I really want to test soon this height fields function.
I think about to make a box shape collision to the wheels as you wrote but since the DYN MAKE WHEEL already provide a density and a collision shape then I just need to add a DYN MAKE BOX command following the DYN MAKE WHEEL command?
In this case I trying to avoid to give to the wheel a double set of density so I make the box density really little.
Mates, with changing terrain in this way (as Fallout advice) the problem related to Z position is not longer exist!
You can't make two physics shapes from the same object. I would not worry too much about the collision shape for a plane since side collisions may never happen as they do with cars.
Just to clarify, I make a box object just above the wheel, make a physics box from this and hide the object, but you may not need to do any of this unless side on collisions are causing problems.
And now the Z position problem is solved changing my terrain so all ok!
Woohoo! A good lesson to learn. I have similar problems with Carnage. Often my objects fall through the floor and those floor segments are just made from planes (I make a triangle mesh style object, but probably the same problem). I'll add some thickness to those objects in the future and hopefully that'll solve my issue too.

Yeah mate, the problem born because there was a TOTAL incompatibility between DB object depth and Physic BOX shape depth..

Continuing its crackdown on unrecognised schools, the department of school education has identified another 169 illegal schools in the city that are functioning without obtaining necessary approvals. With this, the total number of unrecognised schools in the city has increased to 231. This newspaper had published the list of 62 unrecognised schools in these columns on December 26, 2011.
The district education officials has asked the parents not to admit their children in these schools. The district education officer has served closure notices on these schools. Old city has the highest number of unrecognised schools.

Performs k-means on a set of observation vectors forming k clusters.
The k-means algorithm adjusts the centroids until sufficient progress cannot be made, i.e. the change in distortion since the last iteration is less than some threshold. This yields a code book mapping centroids to codes and vice versa.
Distortion is defined as the sum of the squared differences between the observations and the corresponding centroid.
Each row of the M by N array is an observation vector. The columns are the features seen during each observation. The features must be whitened first with the whiten function.
The number of centroids to generate. A code is assigned to each centroid, which is also the row index of the centroid in the code_book matrix generated.
The initial k centroids are chosen by randomly selecting observations from the observation matrix. Alternatively, passing a k by N array specifies the initial k centroids.
The number of times to run k-means, returning the codebook with the lowest distortion. This argument is ignored if initial centroids are specified with an array for the k_or_guess parameter. This parameter does not represent the number of iterations of the k-means algorithm.
Terminates the k-means algorithm if the change in distortion since the last k-means iteration is less than or equal to thresh.
A k by N array of k centroids. The i’th centroid codebook[i] is represented with the code i. The centroids and codes generated represent the lowest distortion seen, not necessarily the globally minimal distortion.
The distortion between the observations passed and the centroids generated.
a different implementation of k-means clustering with more methods for generating initial centroids but without using a distortion change threshold as a stopping criterion.

From now on, patients with cancer at Spire Hartswood Hospital will be marking the end of a treatment phase in a very special way – by ringing a bell and reciting a stirring poem, while their loved ones and the caring staff look on.
Paula, who was treated by Consultant Oncologist Dr Eliot Sims, also received a beautiful bouquet of flowers, which was followed by a well-deserved round of applause and cheers from the Hartswood team who have been caring for Paula, who has breast cancer, since December.
Ringing the bell signifies for patients that their treatment, or a significant phase of it, has now concluded and helps them feel that they are moving forward with their lives. Charity End of Treatment Bells, has provided 159 bells so far to oncology wards throughout the country and Spire Hartswood Hospital received bell number 158.
Paula faces other treatments this year yet she remains positive, “Hopefully, I am now on the way to recovery” she added. | 2019-04-24T02:38:49 | https://www.spirehealthcare.com/spire-hartswood-hospital/patient-information/news-and-events/spire-hartswood-hospital-introduces-end-of-treatment-bell-for-cancer-patients/ |

Medecins Sans Frontieres says decision had been taken because threat of deadly violence had become intolerable.
International medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has announced it will pull out of Somalia saying the threat of deadly violence had become intolerable.
The withdrawal of MSF, or Doctors Without Borders, is a blow to the government's effort to persuade Somalis and foreign donors that security is improving and a stubborn insurgency is on the wane.
"The closure of our activities is a direct result of extreme attacks on our staff, in an environment where armed groups and civilian leaders increasingly support, tolerate or condone the killing, assaulting and abducting of humanitarian aid workers," Unni Karunakara, MSF's international president, told reporters in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, on Wednesday.
Sixteen MSF staff members have been killed in Somalia since 1991 when civil war erupted, but the charity stayed on, negotiating with fighter groups and resorting to hiring armed guards, something it does not do in any other country.
"But we have reached our limit," Karunakara said, fighting back tears.
Within hours of the announcement, al Qaeda-linked al-Shabab fighters raided one MSF hospital in southern Somalia, forcing patients out before ransacking it.
"They have ordered the patients in the hospital out and... taken computers, hospital beds, and other valuable equipment," Ibrahim Mohamed Adan, district commissioner of the town of Diinsor in southern Somalia's Bay region, told Reuters.
MSF's departure will deprive hundreds of thousands of Somalis of medical help, Karunakara acknowledged. MSF treated about 300,000 Somalis in the first half of 2013.
Dozens of foreign MSF staff had pulled out of Somalia in past weeks, the charity said, while some 1,500 local doctors, nurses and assistants will now be jobless.
There was no immediate comment from the Somali government, which is struggling to pull the nation out of two decades of conflict and is unable to provide basic public services including health and education.
The pullout came a month after two female Spanish MSF workers were freed by their Somali kidnappers after almost two years in captivity.
In early 2012, MSF closed two major medical centres in the capital Mogadishu after two international staff were shot dead by a former colleague. | 2019-04-18T20:57:08 | https://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2013/08/201381512052166975.html |
Last Saturday when Jeremy made chili for our pumpkin carving party I was looking for a vegan cornbread recipe to compliment his delicious chili.
While I love oil-free cooking, I’m still convincing myself when it comes to oil-free baking. Granted I’ve made some delicious cakes but there have also been cookies that don’t seem like cookies and breads that are gooey and not right in the middle; I blame that on being oil-free.
So when I followed google’s first search result for vegan cornbread to Isa Chandra’s Post Punk Kitchen and found a minimal amount of oil in the recipe, I was A-Okay about it.
The recipe also made a cake pan’s (9×13) worth of cornbread versus the usual 8×8 square pan. Perfect for a gathering (upcoming holidays – hint hint) or when you also enjoy cornbread for dessert with a little maple syrup.
It was delicious and the knife slid right through. The texture is perfect. It’s been awhile but it reminded me of the Jiffy cornbread I grew up with.
So have at it. Go make this cornbread. All of our guests loved it too.
Your pan might just look like this.
Oh and I almost forgot. Happy Halloween!!!
This is from the last time we carved pumpkins in 2006.
Do you like sweet syrups with your cornbread? I used to LOVE love love dark karo syrup on cornbread, corn muffins, and pancakes growing up. Pure corn syrup. What’s that? 😉 Thankfully maple syrup stands in perfectly.
I’m gonna try this corn bread. Thanks! | 2019-04-25T18:38:08 | https://feedyourskull.com/2013/10/31/go-make-ppk-vegan-cornbread/ |

Former chief minister Digambar Kamat has offered to surrender his passport, but not to arrest him.
Adv Surendra Desai, Kamat’s lawyer, today morning concluded his counter-arguments, offering to surrender his passport as well as to inform the police when he goes outside the state.
He has strongly pleaded to grant anticipatory bail to the former chief minister.
The outcome of two-day long arguments and counter-arguments would be now known on Wednesday, 19 August, when the court delivers its order in the morning.
“Are you casting aspersions on the judgement this court has delivered”, the judge asked him.
Adv Desai was arguing that accused like A M Wachasundar (suspended director of JICA-funded office in Goa) had deposed before the magistrate only after he was sent to judicial custody.
Wachasundar was remanded to judicial custody by Judge Mr Deshpande.
While humbly submitting that he was not casting aspersions on the honourable court, the senior lawyer requested the court to also consider in what background people have deposed before the magistrate.
The strongest ground on which the police are demanding Kamat’s custody are the confessional statements of five persons, who have deposed before the magistrate that Kamat and Churchill Alemao (ex-PWD minister) have accepted huge amount of bribes from time to time.
Both Kamat and Alemao are charged of accepting huge amount of bribes from the officials of Louis Berger International Inc., the US-based consultancy firm.
The firm was awarded consultancy contract to execute augmentation of water supply and sewerage project, worth Rs 1031 crore, funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Adv Desai brought to the notice of the court that Wachasundar as well as Satyakam Mohanty, former vice president of Louis Berger (India), had deposed before the magistrate that bribes were paid to Kamat and Alemao, only after they were sent to the judicial custody.
The rest three, who deposed before the magistrate and admitted of having paid the bribes, were never arrested, said Adv Desai.
“They have not deposed in normal circumstances. The depositions are not voluntary, but engineered”, he argued.
The other three persons include two former mangers of Louis Berger (India) and a partner in the consultancy consortium.
Adv Guruprasad Kirtani, the police counsel, however vehemently opposed this argument, asking how a confession before the magistrate could be engineered.
“It’s understood when the confession is made while being in the police custody is doubted. But is the confession while being out of police custody –that too in the judicial custody – also doubted?”, he asked.
Stating that Kamat’s contention of being innocent is nothing but crocodile tears, Adv Kirtani said the police had ample clinching evidence in the form of confessions as well as documents to prove that Kamat is the main conspirator in the bribery case.
I think the corruption show will go on, it is only the matter of turning jails into 5 star hotels. Long live our innocent Goan politicians.
Kamat don't want to go to jail but rob Goa of it's exchequer. If he is innocent, why is he afraid of jail? Jail is meant only for crooks and thieves like Kamat. Talking about status, what status does thieves have? Surrendering his passport won't entitle him to show himself clean. Congress has looted Goa and now BJP is doing the same thing. | 2019-04-23T06:24:20 | http://m.goanews.com/news_details.php?id=5902 |
Socket(called Sock only by her friend Papyrus) is a female Eelektross of unknown age. She used to be the head of The Royal Thieves, before faking her death.
Papyrus- Though their exact relationship was unknown, they're friends, as stated by Papyrus. To counter this, however, Socket has said before that she "has no friends". Papyrus may have been an exception.
Socket is a dangerous and slightly psychotic murderer and theif. In battle she would strike with speed and precision, leaving most foes in her wake dead or heavily injured within a few attacks. She eventually was slain in a battle against Corma and Vivi, only to be shown to have somehow survived. | 2019-04-23T15:55:57 | https://pokemon-explorers-of-earth.fandom.com/wiki/Sock |

Are you facing a stiff challenge? Or maybe a promising opportunity, but it seems like such a long shot. There are advantages to being an underdog—we’re forced to be creative and innovative. We break out of that limiting “box” to potentially rise to a new level.
Is there something that needs to be severed from your life?
Let’s think about it … what needs to be nullified (listen to the podcast to understand what I mean here) in our lives, or in the world around us?
Is there a challenge in the areas of physical, mental, or emotional well-being?
If we feel intimidated or overwhelmed about something, let’s start allowing hope to rise within. Like David, let’s go deeper, develop our internal state, and discover hidden keys to execute a surprising victory.

(from Amazon) Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a pebble and a sling-and ever since, the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David’s victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn’t have won. Or should he? | 2019-04-18T11:11:40 | https://www.jesussmart.com/podcast-surprising-power-of-the-underdog/ |

Varnish Cache 2.1 does what you can call store-and-forward proxying. It gets the request, then it turns around, gets the whole object from the backend, then turns around and delivers it to the client. If your backend takes time to deliver the object the client might get restless.
If you just want to pass the object to the client, without actually caching it, it is even worse. Delivering a big file, like an ISO image, it can take ages before the download starts and we've seen people do all sorts of weird stuff to work around this.
This has been addressed in Varnish Cache 3.0. You can now, in vcl_fetch, set beresp.do_stream to true and Varnish will deliver the object as it arrives.
There is one caveat, however. The object will be set to busy while it is streamed. Other clients will be put on hold. Furthermore, the rate at which the object is fetched by the client dictates how fast Varnish will fetch it from the backend. These limitations might be addressed in later releases, however. These limitations do not limit the use of pass, however.
Compression and decompression should work flawlessly with streaming.

Power Parents - Family Times is an award-winning magazine with staff-written news, feature stories and artwork that inform and inspire Central New York parents and their children.
Parents who establish fitness habits early just may lead their children to a healthier adulthood.
These days, yoga is a much bigger part. As owner of O Yoga on Syracuse’s Near West Side, Sisko balances teaching with running her business and raising her son, now 8.
Why yoga? I started practicing a little over nine years ago. I had always been a fitness enthusiast. I taught aerobics in college, and spinning. But when I was pregnant, I couldn’t do any of that stuff. I needed a low-impact option. A friend suggested I try yoga. I got a prenatal yoga DVD and loved it. I just stuck with it.
I was offered a job in Boston and started practicing at a studio called Back Bay Yoga. That changed my life. I couldn’t get enough of it. The teacher suggested that I become an instructor. Everything just kept falling into place, and in September of 2011, I opened the studio.
How does the business fit in with family life? Caden used to attend classes quite often. I started this in part because I wanted to be able to spend more time with him. Doing this allows me to pick him up from school. The studio schedule was built around that time. Now, if he doesn’t want to come to class, I don’t push him. He’s more into team sports right now, but he’s always at the studio and he stays very involved.
What’s unique about your studio? My intention was to create a place that was very welcoming to everybody. That’s partly about the yoga practice, but also about the community of people. I wanted a safe place where there really was no judgment, no expectations—just a comfortable, safe place to be.
How many students? Generally our classes average from 10 to 50 people. I have a Hip Hop Yoga class on Monday evenings that always has about 50 people. It’s just yoga, but the lights are low, the music’s really loud and it’s a faster paced, really intense physical class. The purpose is to get people in the doors that are nervous about yoga.
What does yoga do for you? There is just something about the physical practice that trickles into your life. I started to be more calm—not just during class. I just started to soften and people noticed it. I do a lot of other physical activities: I run and I cross train. But none of that brings me that peace. So many other people tell me they’ve had the same experience and it’s neat to help people achieve that.
Does Caden understand why you do this? We talk a lot about fitness and caring for yourself, caring for others. Nutrition has been a huge part of his childhood. I grew up on processed food. So it’s been important for me to teach Caden about making choices that are sustainable for life.
What trends do you see with young people and their approach to fitness? I see stress as the biggest problem for people now. It seems everyone is just busier and busier. We are all pulled in so many directions and it seems a lot of technology has made that even more difficult. People have a hard time just shutting down and taking time away from their phones and their email. There is a lot more pressure on college students with the job market being the way that it is and people feel guilty about making time for themselves. More than anything, I try to encourage people to have an attitude of acceptance. It’s not only OK to make time for yourself, it’s critical.
With the younger kids, it’s the electronics that worry me. There isn’t a lot of outside play. I battle that with Caden and I won’t cave on it.
Do you offer classes for children? Not yet. It’s on my radar. I am noticing more people with teenage kids who bring them to yoga. Families are coming in, which I love.
The couple met as youngsters, both drawn to the competitive nature of martial arts and its emphasis on personal goals.
Jim, 43, is a sixth-degree black belt and certified master instructor. Kim, 40, is a fifth-degree black belt. During a visit to the Liverpool location, part of Pacific Health Club on Old Liverpool Road, students are likely to find not only Kim and Jim, but any one or all of their children: Damario, 16, Damiana, 14, Dante, 13 and Diangelo, 7.
How long have you been training in the martial arts?
K: Jim was 8 when he started and I was 12. My parents got me into it. My dad was a police officer and he thought my sister and I needed self-defense training.
J: I was raised by a single mom, and she thought it would be good for me.
Are your kids involved with the business?
K: They are all here today! My oldest son is now involved with the volunteer fire department, so he’s not here as much, but the others are here pretty often. They are all active with martial arts.
Was it a natural fit for all of them?
K: Like any kids, they would go through a little phase. They all pretty much started by the age of 4—a little later for our 7-year-old.
J: Now we have to pull back. They’ll train every day.
Do they understand the role of martial arts in your life?
J: They grew up in it and their friends are so connected to the martial arts. This is the only life they know.
Do they like other sports?
K: They all played football at one time, even my daughter. But they continued their martial arts training year-round.
J: I would say people are busier. From a coaching standpoint, you have to get more done in a shorter period of time. Students now come two, three days max. Ten years ago, they might be at the dojo five or six days a week. Now, people are recommending martial arts for conditioning for other sports. So, that’s a change, too.
J: We can go from 20 to 50.
Do you get many questions from parents who want to help their kids become more active?
J: Sometimes. For some, this is like their last-ditch effort to get their kids involved with something physical. Maybe some kids don’t take to a team sport, so they join our team, which is basically a class in which you’re working toward individual goals.
We usually just have the kids take a class. We find it’s easy to get the kids connected. Some kids just haven’t found that niche yet. It’s very personal.
K: We have it down to a routine. Our kids are homeschooled, so they are with us during the day. Then we come here in the evening.
Do you see many families coming in together?
J: A ton. That’s pretty much what we do. The bulk of our students come from one member starting and the rest of the family joins in.
Have parental attitudes toward martial arts changed over the years?
J: I think so. In the past, people had a little bit of a negative attitude toward it. Now, a lot of parents seek it to help their children develop confidence and discipline.
Are your kids competitive about their training?
J: Not with each other.
K: Because they started at such different times, they each have their own path.
If I asked them who the best martial artist in the family is?
J: They’d say Mom. I’d say Mom!
Jill Perry, 43, has always been in motion. The Manlius resident is a running coach as well as an ultra runner: someone who runs distances longer than the 26.2-mile marathon. She hits the local trails several times a week, either with her clients, or with one or more of her five children: Vincent, 16, Patrick, 14, Max,12, Grace, 11, and Ben, 8.
How long have you been a runner? Even as a little girl, I ran. I just loved running and doing obstacle courses.
What did you enjoy about it? I felt like when I was running, I could use my imagination. I still do; I can pretend I’m somewhere far away. Sometimes I can pretend I’m not even a person.
How did you get into ultra running? My father was an Eagle Scout leader and he just loved the woods and being outdoors. I got that from him. Unfortunately, he died young. I got into trail running as a way I could be out in the woods and keep in touch with him. I still do some road running, but the trails are where my heart is.
How many groups do you work with? My youth running group is on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have a group just for women on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. I have a night group that goes out. I’m very flexible and I’m able to be home with my kids when I need to be.
Are all of your children runners? Patrick was the most naturally inclined to run. He’s a lot like me—very driven. Ben has much the same interest. The others—because they are in my kids group they are getting more of a love for it.
How do you nurture a healthy lifestyle at home? I just don’t have junk food in my house; that’s for me, too. If I had a bunch of chocolate in my house, I’d be eating it. Two of my kids are vegetarians.
Do you encounter parents who push their kids into running? Sometimes I see parents living their kids’ dreams as their own. I think there comes a point where the kid will rebel and they are not going to do it. I think running is a mental sport and if you don’t want to do it, you’re not going to do it.
Any advice for the chronically time-crunched? The less time you have, the harder you’ll work to get it in. Everybody has 20 to 30 minutes to do something for themselves as far as exercising. I know myself, if I don’t get a run in, I’m thinking about it all day long and I’m crabby. The one hour I run helps me get more out of the other hours of my day.
What’s been more beneficial to you: the physical or mental rewards of running? It’s hard to say because they are so connected. I would say the mental health comes first.
As a trainer and a parent, do you encourage people to mix things up? If they want to. My kids like to mountain bike. My son Ben played football. My daughter dances and is going to be playing basketball. At their age, really at any age, they should just try it. You never know. Unfortunately, once kids get to high school, it’s hard for them to just try a different sport.
Where are your favorite places to run? I love Morgan Hill. I like the Finger Lakes near Ithaca; those are my favorites. Green Lakes and Highland Forest are more convenient. I’m a creature of change. I need to try different places.
Growing up in Oneonta, Dean Foti and his three siblings were rarely without some kind of sporting equipment in their hands or at their feet.
For the past three years, Foti, 52, has worked as technical director for the New York State West Youth Soccer Association. The Corning-based organization oversees and implements rules and guidelines for youth soccer clubs. Foti and his wife, Holly, have three daughters: Riley, 16, and 13-year-old twins Lannie and Sophia.
When did soccer become such a big part of your life? I grew up playing all sports. I have two brothers and a sister, and we were always doing something. It was a very cyclic thing. In the fall, everyone played soccer or football. Everyone played baseball or softball in the spring. Our high school was small, so even then it was easy to be involved in several different sports.
Was it important for you to model an active lifestyle for your children? Soccer has been a big part of my life. And my wife played lacrosse at the University of Maryland. So, our kids were destined to be around sports and develop their own interests. When we have free time as a family, we often do something active.
Do your children play soccer? All three of my daughters play soccer, but lacrosse, volleyball and, for one, track are also in the mix. They are fortunate to have had some level of success in sports, but for at least one, sports may not end up being a huge part of her life.
Did you notice any downside to the increasing emphasis on organized sports for kids? I think kids are not physically or mentally ready to start specializing in one sport until they are 13 or 14. But the trend is to start that earlier now, and it’s gotten to the point where kids are playing year-round. There are so many different leagues and clubs; there’s no off-season or voids anymore. So, kids don’t have as many opportunities to play a sport they are less skilled in. They are less able to step back and support their teammates.
Are kids being pushed too hard? Coaches use best practices to help ensure that players are physically and mentally healthy. The goal is to keep them healthy and interested. Declines in performance and interest level are commonly seen by the time students are 13 or 14. Coaches are seeing that younger than it used to be. But I do like the idea that proper nutrition and being fit is now more at the forefront of kids’ minds these days.
Have you faced these issues with your kids? My oldest daughter was injured last July. She plays on the girls varsity soccer team for her school and she tore her ACL: a serious sports injury. She needed surgery and it was not easy for her to understand that she wasn’t just missing a few games. This has been a long recovery—the kind of thing where you get over a small hurdle and think you’ve won the Super Bowl. She had to shift her focus. She’s well-rounded and into a lot of different things, so we encouraged her to look at it as a time to focus on other interests, to look at it as a refreshing break. She is healing well.
What advice would you give parents who want to encourage a more active lifestyle for the kids? Anytime you can find activities that involve the whole family, or friends, and that are fun, it will be better for the kids. It can be anything from soccer to golf, to walking the dog; even shopping at the mall can be active. Whatever activities you choose, doing them together as a family can be an incentive. With younger kids, often if you give them some gear and leave them to their own devices, they will find a way to have fun. Keep exposing kids to things, and they will decide. | 2019-04-20T16:16:25 | http://www.familytimes.biz/index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=630&cntnt01origid=16&cntnt01category_id=6&cntnt01returnid=16 |

Good Evening! I was at school all day yesterday from 7:30-3! I got so much done but I was so tired afterward! We went out for a burger and I came home to bed! I literally never stopped moving the entire time I was in my classroom! We went to the movies to see the new Jason Bourne Movie (Marc's treat and movie choice) which is perfect because it was pouring bad all day! Arnie really hates thunderstorms so he is currently laying on my legs shaking. Poor Doggie! What does this mean for you? I will have two cards for you today!
The first card is my favorite from the 4 cards I have posted using Foxy Friends. I love skunks (cute cartoony looking ones, not the real creatures). I used something new to me... the layering squares framelits. Have you checked out the new sets of layering framelits? They are worth every single penny! With the square set you get 19 different sizes of squares (some plain and some scalloped). Great deal and I have gotten tons of us out of them!
Disclaimer on my bonus card: I am not quite happy with it not having a sentiment but it is what it is. I glued the DSP to the card base too fast and then I had to cut the reindeer out, etc... This card didn't turn out how I had wanted, but that is OK! I will still give this card out at some point this holiday season because why waste that cute little reindeer?! I love how there are so many options with the Foxy Friends Bundle. Have you ordered it yet?
Don't forget... I am offering a free INK PAD with EVERY $50 purchase you make (until July 30)! That is a $6.50 value for free! You can purchase online in my store (and I will mail the ink pad to you) or you can contact me to place the order! Make sure to use hostess code: PPZSGEY2 when ordering from my online store so I know who to contact for the free ink pad(s) and 5 monthly cards pictured below! Thanks for picking me as your demonstrator! | 2019-04-18T11:02:01 | http://www.stampininthesun.com/2016/07/foxy-friends-thank-you-skunk-with-bonus.html |
Seedlings Galore! - Serenity Farm - Plant in Faith, Grow in Prayer, Harvest with Thanksgiving!
Hey ya'll...have you blown away yet? My goodness the windy conditions this past week have made it challenging to get work done, but as a farmer you learn to work with the weather, or at least in it so you can get your work done. We've continued to do farm cleanup and now have a designated spot for visitors to park when they come to the farm and a non-muddy location with shade for us to wash produce this season! We have also done some tree trimming that we'll burn when we don't have to risk burning the whole place down! Brad was able to spread more compost over our garden plots, plant some cover crops, and reseed the pasture. We got an inch of rain on the farm a week ago and now with some warmer temperatures things should really start growing!
While Brad has been busy preparing the beds for the season, I've been busy planting seeds, seeds, and more seeds! We have quite the collection of trays growing in our lean-to-greenhouse and here in the house. The girls and Isaac have been my helpers filling the trays with potting mix which saves me a lot of time. We have run short on seed trays, so we started making soil cubes. We take our potting mix and moisten it, but not too much and we use what is called a soil cube maker. You press the moistened potting mix into the cube maker and then press into your tray and you have a nice soil cube to plant your seeds into. We must water them gently in the beginning so that they won't fall apart, but once the plant forms a nice root mass the cube is quite sturdy. Transplanting will be easier for these plants since they won't be disturbed going into the ground. I will be planting most of our peppers and remaining head lettuces this way.
It's time to head out to the field and begin the transplanting process. We have to use the power harrow to work in the compost, lay the plastic mulch and irrigation tubing, and then we can plant! We have lots of broccoli, cabbage, kale, chard, and head lettuce that are ready to get in the ground!
Wonderful results! I can't even imagine what a great peace of job was made in order to complete this project. It's time to head out to the field and begin the transplanting process. We have to use the power harrow to work in the compost, lay the plastic mulch and irrigation tubing, and then we can plant! | 2019-04-22T12:58:11 | http://www.serenityfarmcsa.com/blog/seedlings-galore |

It’s pretty hard ignoring all the “customers who bought this also bought these” adverts when you’re diligently shopping for your camera. And honestly, some of the accessories you’ll see don’t even make sense since most Nikon D3300 buyers are newbies.
So which accessories are actually essential?
To a large extent, that will depend on you.
And unless you plan on using your Nikon D3300 camera once and keeping it in storage, extra accessories are pretty inescapable.
● Extra Battery – this is probably the best accessory you can get for your camera because charging and taking photos? frustrating! To be on the safe side, it’s recommended you get Nikon batteries as they’ll be the most compatible.
● Tripod – those videos won’t record themselves. Make sure it isn’t too heavy to lift when fully collapsed, or too light to support your D3300’s (1.11 lbs) weight. Also, note the max and min adjustable height.
● Lenses – your camera will come with a 24.2 megapixels zoom lens, which is great for beginner photos, but won’t really capture all the details a prime lens would.
● Disc Light reflectors – since light is the perhaps the most important factor in photography, an adequate control of it can be very useful if you want to take professional-looking shots.
Bottom line, the accessories you’ll actually use on your Nikon D3300 will depend a lot on your photography needs/level. Buying a D3300 bundle can also bring some savings in your pocket while getting all these accessories all at one. These gadgets or their updates will always be on the market, so take the time to know what your needs are. For more information about the Nikon D3300 camera visit the official website. | 2019-04-20T15:06:02 | http://www.movementartscenter.org/nikon-d3300-lenses-and-accessories-youll-actually-use/ |
Tomorrow (Monday) is in fact, the first workday Monday of the year (NB;last week’s was a holiday). Come tomorrow morning, we’re all headed out working our asses from dawn to dusk.
This is what we aim at as we head out there tomorrow. Everyone wants to yield more quality and higher output at their workplace. Super productive! That’s the one quality every worker aspires to have.
But unfortunately, most of us tend to be far less productive than originally intended.
And to be fair, this sometimes isn’t our fault. There are many reasons for lack/low productivity. Dissatisfaction at work, personal issues among other problems are the few reasons. And also missing out some tips is also another reason.
But either ways, cry no more!! This is 2018, and your chance to be highly productive is here.
1. Prepare before you get started. Lack of preparation for a task/project is a major cause of mediocre productivity. If you want to be highly productive than ever this year; 2018, you’ve got to cultivate the preparation habit. Failing to plan they say is planning to fail. Learn to always plan a given task ahead of it being started.
2. Sleep early and wake up early. Sleep is the most wonderful gift God ever gave man. But still, it is the most underrated of all gifts. Most business men, women and students don’t give themselves enough rest. I understand, there isn’t enough time. But in spite of this, you should give yourself rest. The importance of sleeping can’t be overemphasized. If you’re striving to be more productive, and you aren’t giving yourself sufficient sleep; you’re simply wasting your time. The body isn’t a machine, give it break daily by giving it 6-8 hours of sleep. But while doing this, make sure you also cultivate the habit of waking early. So as not to affect your daily routine.
3. Measure your work. Whenever a work is given to you, always endeavor to measure it. And when I mean measure, I’m sure y’all know what I mean. Measure the quality of the work done. Ask yourself if the task you just performed meets up with standard. That way, you’ll end up being more productive.
4. Share your material for feedback. On your quest to be more productive, always share your work material for feedback. Successful people know the importance of feedbacks as it helps them progress towards their vision and aids them in correction. Always try to share the material you’re working on or have worked on with people. These people can include your colleagues, family, friends or even your worst critics. You never might tell the insightful feedback any one of them may give you. Share your work with others!! However, while doing that, be careful.
5. Practice in public. One of the ways to maximize your productivity is to practice publicly. Due to our human nature, we all like to impress others. So, whenever we are in public, we try our best not to make mistakes. Why? Because we want to avoid embarrassment. However, we can use this nature of ours to boost our productivity. If you’re trying to boost your productivity, instead of hiding in your closet in order to avoid “embarrassment”, why not practice more publicly? Practicing publicly without pretending to be a perfectionist actually makes you learn more. If you practice publicly, there are people who may notice your quality and set backs. And some of them will encourage you and also criticise you. And this, will enable you to learn more and in the process more productive. So when next you plan on carrying out that project, why not go publicly. You never know who might come to your aid.
6. Eat the frog! Eating the frog is another way to boost your productivity. Eating the frog is actually a concept created by Mark Twain. Paraphrasing Mark, if you were to have two frogs in front of you, eat the ugliest one first!
Mark Twain said, if the first thing you can do each morning is to eat a live frog, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing nothing worst can happen after this.
Your ‘Frog’ is your most important task of the day that you are most likely to procrastinate. In order to maximize your productivity, always do the difficult task first.
7. Set realistic tasks. Honestly, setting realistic tasks is a sure way to boost your productivity. Realistic tasks are tasks which are always SMART. When you set a realistic task, you will have no problem meeting up the specified deadline. Whenever you’re assigned a project, always make sure your plans/actions is realistic. This will ensure your productivity is boosted at a maximal rate.
8. Create a to-do list. A to-do list/schedule is a great way to maximize your productivity. Always endeavor to create a list of your activities ahead of your day. Your to-do list will enable you to focus your attention on the most important task of the moment.
If you record all your tasks in a to-do list, you can easily review the list and prioritize the most important tasks.When you know that you can quickly refer to an organized to-do list, you’ll find that you can focus your attention on the activity that you are involved in – you’ll enjoy life more and be more productive.
9. Follow up the set target. Following up to the latter; your set target/deadline actually helps to increase your productivity. Always attach imposed deadlines to your tasks. It will propel you to take action and become more efficient.
10. Dump the distractions. Distractions are the chief killers of productivity. Distractions include unnecessary emails, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, the internet etc. Distraction is the number one enemy of productivity. And just like an unhappy relationship, you should dump it. If you’re determined to boost productivity, you should dump those things distracting you. Yeah, you heard me right. Dump them. Restrict your data usage in order to reduce your social media usage. Starve your distractions!
11. Stop your addiction to TV. Still linked with the last point, addiction to TV is a major hindrance to productivity. Yeah, it is. TV is killing your productivity more than you think. Can you measure how many things watching TV has cost you? Your time? Creativity? Relationships? Focus? And over all productivity. Let’s face it, most of us are addicted to TV. And this is adversely affecting our productivity in our career. In your pursuit for productivity, why not cut down the amount of time watching TV and do something more helpful? And I assure you, it will surely boost your productivity.
Is what I’m doing presently productive?
Always ask yourself this question at regular intervals each day. It will make sure you stay on the right track. Especially if given deep thought to.
13. Take breaks. Breaks! I know this is your favorite part right? Taking breaks especially once a hour increases our work productivity. Recent studies shows that those who give in to some kind of distraction or diversion once an hour performed better than those who don’t take breaks at all. Why? Because our brains numb out a bit due to its constant stimulation and we become unable to continuously treat the task as important. Also, taking breaks also serves as a creativity fuel. It also keeps us from being mentally stagnant.
14. Reward yourself. Always reward yourself whenever you complete a given task/project. Why? Because it encourages and motivates you to do more. So when next you set out to accomplish that task, attach a reward to it. This will inspire you to give in your best. And this in the process, boost your productivity. Reward yourself.
I hope you found these fourteen solid tips helpful? Let me know through your likes, shares and comments. | 2019-04-25T02:37:13 | https://gettingmotivateddaily.wordpress.com/2018/01/07/14-ways-to-boost-your-productivity-this-year/ |

Young Market Rasen CC cricketer Jabari Darrell has been snapped up by Leicestershire CCC as he continues his rapid rise up the ranks. Darrell will play for the first-class county’s development side next season after taking a route less travelled from Bermuda to Market Rasen.
The Bermudian arrived in North Lincolnshire two years ago to complete his GCSEs at De Aston School where Head of Boarding Andrew Quinlan wasted no time in integrating the exciting all-rounder into the town club.
Darrell played for Rasen’s First XI throughout the 2016 season, and last year Under 19 World Cup qualifiers with Bermuda were sandwiched between club duties.
That summer also brought his biggest score for Rasen, a knock of 140 for the Sunday XI, the highest score by a club senior for several seasons.
He also achieved the batsman’s holy grail that year, hitting six sixes in an over for De Aston.A fast-bowler and destructive batsman, Darrell has played international cricket for Bermuda since he was 11 and aspires to represent them on the biggest limited overs stage, the ICC World Cup.
But as a British passport holder, England could one day benefit from his exciting all-round qualities, with his recruitment by Leicestershire a first step along the road to qualification. If his aspirations are set high, it’s perhaps little wonder considering his roots.
Dad was an international-class boxer, and now trains out of Miami, while Darrell’s sister competes at a similar level in athletics.
This year he has played his Saturday cricket for Scunthorpe CC in the Lincs ECB Premier, mainly employed as a strike bowler, but he still turns out for Rasen in midweek and Sunday league.
But it was regular appearances for the Lincolnshire age group sides which ultimately led to his recruitment by the Foxes who spotted his potential during a three-day under 17s game earlier this season.
His Rasen roots will be loosened next year when his cricketing education takes him to Loughborough College and a leading club side in Leicestershire. But Quinlan believes Rasen and the Lincs set-up will remain an important part of his legacy.
“The work of Market Rasen CC, De Aston, Scunthorpe CC and Lincolnshire CCC has been absolutely instrumental in getting him to where he wants to be,” he said. In the meantime, his Lincs and Rasen team-mate Sancho Jackson will continue to represent Bermuda at both De Aston and Rasen this year. | 2019-04-20T08:38:29 | http://islandstats.com/sport.asp?sport=17&assoc=1&newsid=44415 |

The California Sportfishing League (CSL) is warning anglers about Assembly Bill 2787, which aims to outlaw lead fishing weights of 1 3/4 ounce and lower. According to CSL, there is no evidence that lead fishing weights threaten California wildlife.
Alternative metals for sinkers cost 2 to 3 times as much, or more, so this could be a hit to the wallet if it passes. CSL is not alone in their opposition - CCA-California is also circulating petitions against the bill.
CSL is asking all California anglers to take action by April 2nd. The easiest way is to digitally sign the petition by visiting http://www.savefishing.com/stop-the-...-the-petition/.
Consider cc'ing [email protected]. CSL is collecting letters to share with the state legislature.

They need to concentrate on getting the lead out of their political system, and start concentrating on the real things that need done.
CCA CAL will have the petition at the Del Mar Show at our booths and at many of the vendors booths also.
took less than a minute to sign.
Signed. Lead comes from the soil, why is it a problem if we put it back there.
Thanks to everyone who has responded. I agree with Flounder, enough's enough. I recently attended a meeting in Sacramento, where the goal was to increase fishing license sales. It was hard to come up with any good solutions given all the barriers. A lead ban would be one more. I suppose I could see the point if it were proven to impact wildlife, but there are no studies that do so.
It's better to have it, and not need it.
Disclaimer: I signed the petition.
Do any of you really trust research on a topic like this, when the groups funding the research have financial reasons to hope for a specific outcome? I sure don't.
I did not sign. Lead is a poison.
California is an awesome beautiful state.
Protect our oceans and streams.
I was on the fence about it. I'm a lot less concerned about lead than I am about plastic, but I'm concerned about both long-term. | 2019-04-19T09:31:15 | http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/showthread.php?s=9482b222e7528e56af69851cbb33af3e&t=32673 |

L’étude de la Commission a démontré que les candidats aux noms à consonance africaine étaient nettement plus désavantagés que les candidats ayant des noms arabes ou latino-américains.
À caractéristiques et à compétences égales, un candidat au patronyme québécois a au moins 60 % plus de chances d’être invité à un entretien d’embauche qu’une personne qui a un nom à consonance africaine, arabe ou latino-américaine. C’est ce que révèle une étude réalisée par la Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse dont les résultats ont été publiés hier.
L’étude a révélé un taux net de discrimination de 35% : une personne dont le patronyme l’identifie à un groupe racisé a été écartée du processus d’entrevue une fois sur trois, que ce soit pour la recherche de candidats menée par une entreprise privée ou par un organisme sans but lucratif.
L’étude de la Commission a aussi démontré que les candidats aux noms à consonance africaine étaient nettement plus désavantagés que les candidats ayant des noms arabes ou latino-américains.
Malgré le fait que le Québec sélectionne depuis plus de 15 ans ses immigrants dans la catégorie « travailleurs qualifiés » sur la base de critères conçus pour favoriser la sélection des candidats les plus susceptibles de connaître une intégration réussie, ces derniers connaissent des difficultés d’intégration socioéconomique considérables par rapport aux natifs du Québec et aux immigrants plus anciens d’origine européenne.
Depuis quelques années, on entend fréquemment dire que l’explication tiendrait au fait que le domaine de formation et l’expérience de travail des immigrants seraient mal arrimés aux besoins du marché du travail québécois. Il est aussi communément admis que la non-reconnaissance des diplômes et de l’expérience acquis à l’étranger contribue dans une large mesure aux problèmes d’insertion socioprofessionnelle des nouveaux arrivants.
Montréal, May 29 , 2012 – When you're looking for a job in the Montréal area, it’s easier when your name is Bélanger or Morin, not Traoré, Ben Saïd or Salazar. Equally-skilled and qualified candidates are 60% more likely to be invited to a job interview when their family name is of Québécois origin than if it sounds like a name of African, Arab or Latin-American origin.
This is what a Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse study published today reveals. The “testing”, which aimed to measure the extent of discriminatory hiring practices, revealed a net discrimination rate of 35%. In other words, one in three people whose name identified them with a racialized group was excluded from the interview process.
The idea of this study came about as a result of discussions begun in November 2008 when the Commission organized a conference bringing together more than 400 participants focusing on the integration of immigrants and the right to work without discrimination (Pour une véritable intégration : droit au travail sans discrimination). One of the topics discussed was the apprehensions of some employers about hiring recent immigrants.
Despite the fact that Québec has been responsible for choosing its immigrants in the “skilled workers” category for the past 15 years based on criteria designed to facilitate the selection of candidates most likely to integrate successfully, they face considerably more socioeconomic challenges than those born in Québec or long-established immigrants from Europe. In recent years, it has often been said that their area of training and their work experience were not properly tailored to Québec’s labour market. It is also widely taken for granted that non-recognition of diplomas and of experience gained abroad contributes substantially to the social and professional integration challenges facing newcomers.
“This study reminds us that the workforce integration challenges that certain ethnic and racialized groups face, whether they are immigrants or not, are not only due to skill and experience issues, but also to employers’ discriminatory preferences,” said the president of the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse, Gaétan Cousineau.
The study, headed by Paul Eid, a sociologist with the Commission, shows that employers tend, often unconsciously, to seek out “people like themselves”, or sometimes even tend to avoid certain groups that are perceived negatively within Québec society.
By conducting a “testing”, a method of measuring discrimination by sending out fictitious résumés that has proved its worth in North American and European settings, the Commission was able to measure the extent of discrimination racialized minorities face when looking for employment in the francophone sector of the Montréal labour market. Five distinct employment fields were examined.
Between December 2010 and May 2011, a research assistant responded to 581 job offers from private companies, government agencies and non-profit organizations. The jobs were in three fields of skilled employment (marketing, human resources and communications), and covered professions within which members of racialized minorities are underrepresented, and in two fields that required little or no qualifications (customer service and secretarial work).
For each of these fields, two applicant profiles were created, both consisting of a résumé and a cover letter. Pairs of résumés were reviewed and calibrated by human resource experts from each field in order to ensure that both applicants’ work experience and qualifications matched the job requirements, whether the applicant’s name was foreign-sounding or Franco-Québécois. The “twin” résumés were designed to be as similar as possible. All of the fictitious candidates had work experience, studied or earned degrees in Québec.
The “testing” revealed that the discrimination rates vary very little whether the tested organization is a private company (37%) or a non-profit organization (35%). However, of the 18 public sector employers that showed an interest in at least one of the fictitious candidates, five gave preference to the minority candidate, five to the majority candidate, while eight others invited both applicants to an interview, therefore establishing a net discrimination rate of 0%. Such a result, although based on a small sample, may be due in part to the fact that public sector employers are required by law to implement equal access to employment programs that have an impact on recruitment.
The Commission study also showed that applicants with African-sounding names were significantly more disadvantaged than applicants with Arabic or Latin American names. An applicant with an African-sounding name applying for a job that requires few or no skills was assessed most negatively, with a net discrimination rate of 42.1%, compared to a rate of 35.1% for an Arab candidate, followed far behind by a Latin American candidate with a rate of 28.3%. When it comes to skilled employment, the discrimination rate against an applicant with an African-sounding name was 38.3%, compared to a rate of 33.3% for an Arab candidate and of 30.6% for a Latin American candidate.
Furthermore, the Commission tested the hypothesis that discrimination might be more pronounced in skilled employment sectors that offer good salaries and working conditions when compared to low-skilled, low-paid employment offering poor working conditions. This hypothesis was disproved as the results are comparable for the two employment sectors.
However, contrary to what one might think, the discrimination rate was lower for jobs requiring frequent contacts with the public (marketing, communications and customer service) than for employment calling for daily interaction with colleagues in the course of providing services internally (secretarial work and human resources).
The study, Mesurer la discrimination à l’embauche subie par les minorités racisées : résultats d’un « testing » mené dans le Grand Montréal, is available for download (in French) from the Commission’s website at: www.cdpdj.qc.ca. | 2019-04-24T08:19:13 | http://www.cameroonvoice.com/news/article-news-7048.html |

St. David was one of the earliest Christian missionaries of West Wales, and his story told in the medieval Welsh-language Life of Saint David. This book presents an annotated version of the text based on the one found in the Book of the Anchorite of Llanddewibrefi (c. 1350). The volume also features a substantial introduction that gathers early references to the saint and historical details and compares the Welsh Life to an earlier Latin version. | 2019-04-23T20:49:49 | https://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/W/bo5565027.html |

ENN Energy, located in Langfang Technology and Economic zone, midway between Beijing and Tianjin, has already built natural gas stations in China. Chinese long haul trucks have been using compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) for years, instead of expensive, high carbon emission diesel fuel. They have been practicing T. Boone Pickens preaching in the U.S. that vehicles should switch to natural gas to reduce dependence on imported petroleum and also reduce carbon pollution. China’s has thousands of compressed gas and LNG stations, while the U.S. currently has only 28 LNG public stations.
Nearly half of the garbage trucks sold in the United States last year run on natural gas, which are fueled at their home depots, not at public stations. To convince long haul truckers to switch to natural gas they have to have assurance that they can refuel at stations along their highway routes. Truckers can save $2 a gallon by switching to natural gas from diesel.
Two years ago ENN’s billionaire energy tycoon Chairman Wang Yusuo decided to put its expertise and $50 million of capital to build 50 natural gas truck stations in the U.S. He approached the preacher of natural gas T. Boone Pickens and his company Clean Energy for a partnership, Pickens rebuffed ENN. Clean Energy is already operating 70 LNG stations and prefers to be a competitor, rather than a partner.
ENN reached out to a small Utah company, CH4 Energy Corp, which had a single LNG and CNG fueling station in Salt Lake City with the help of federal stimulus funds. Together, they created Transfuels LLC, which operates as Blu LNG. ENN has a majority stake in the joint venture and controls its board of directors.
Blu plans to open 50 to 60 LNG stations this year and is planning to build another 500 stations. ENN has the capital for this roll out. The race is on between T. Boone Pickens and Blu. Shell has entered the picture with plans for 100 stations. Had Pickens put the $82 million he spent of advocating for natural gas transport into stations, at $1 million per station, he would be way ahead of Blu. All of the players are now competing for location partners for their LNG stations.
The U.S. natural gas bounty will eventually wean the U.S. transport industry off its dependence on diesel fuel made from imported crude oil. We have to give ENN’s $50 million investment, and more to come, some credit for spiriting a competitive race for cleaner energy.

He had the blood of kings in his veins.
Was Joseph becoming the Father of the King of Kings.
and a King was born.
All the Way My Savior Leads Me.
I made this little video as a prayer of thanks to God-for never giving up on me, for always leading me in the right way when I don’t really want to be led, for being a good, good God.
The song is an old hymn sung by Rich Mullins, the photos are mine.
Most of us know or have heard reference at some point in our lives to Psalm 23. Bits and pieces come to us when we are feeling afraid, alone, or like we are being attacked by alien spaceships in War of the Worlds. Ha–I am not joking that part of my subconscious sees the Priest in the old War of the Worlds movie walking toward the evil-eyed spaceship quoting the 23rd psalm. Then he gets zapped and turns to dust. It scared me to death as a kid. I always wondered why he was not using his brain and kept walking toward the ship instead of away. At that point in the movie, I think the behavior of the aliens pretty consistently proved they were bad guys…so, while all of you are reading through psalm 23 with floating streams and quiet places and vivid images of gentle shepherds leading their sheep through grassy knolls, I’m thinking about the poor priest who got turned to dust.
I’m thinking that alien space ships were not on King David’s radar when he wrote his prayer to God, but maybe something like it. A deeply distressing time that brought him to his knees, seeking the comfort his true Shepherd could bring.
Take a deep breath, breath in the Hope of a loving God who will walk quietly with you wherever you are on your path. Know He’s with you. Breathe and Hope.
A few weeks ago while the girls were at school, I jumped in the jeep, drove down long country roads until I found a piece of Heaven on Earth–The most amazing sunflower field I’ve ever seen–well, the only sunflower field I’ve ever seen, but that’s beside the point. I knew there was no way I could capture the vastness of the yellows and greens meeting the clouds with their tips standing tall all the way to the horizon. Being a photographer, that was a little disappointing. I wanted to share it all with everybody. Some things just are not reproducible. I had to let it go. I just stood for a long, long time and stared, allowing all of my senses to take in the glory of it all. Breathing it in, I realized I was breathing in joy, and new life.
Everything around me in Kansas is new. The sunflower fields, the white, fluffy clouds, the stunning sunsets and sunrises that surprise me almost every day…the giant spiders, frogs in my garden, the Royals, Chiefs, and lots and lots of old barns and pioneer settlements.
I. Love. Kansas. Really, I do. Breathing new air has been good for my soul. I find myself coming alive a bit more every day. I’m grateful for new friends, a new church and the schools our girls attend.
Do I miss Indiana? Every single day. I miss my friends who are like family. I miss the familiarity of everything and not having to figure out new stuff every day. I miss apple orchards and blueberry picking. I miss Lake Michigan, the rolling dunes, and the lighthouses most of all.
The bright memories of our old home mixed with the awakening of my soul in a new place are good indeed.
Standing in the sunflower fields made me fall in love with my Creator God all over again. When I see what an amazing artist He is, I am humbled and I feel loved, knowing that He made things like sunflower fields for me to breathe new air and make my soul come alive.
I am so grateful for new life. Grateful for the hope that change can bring.
Look around you…even if it’s not a ginormous sunflower field…look at the clouds. Marvel at the sky. Catch a frog and look her eye to eye, and then kindly let her go back to whatever girl frogs do in gardens.
Feel the Creator’s love for you in the endless beauty that is Nature, that is the air you breathe everyday. | 2019-04-20T15:14:49 | http://michellewegner.com/category/photography-2/page/2/ |

is it just me or does this not make any sense? How can an ink milled from such low lvl herbs as peacebloom be enough combined with mageroyal to get your inscription to 375 and beyond? Was this just a way of making the inscription lvling process easier for beta testers? But if that were the case, surely blizz would want to make sure that leveling inscription with the real mats wont be too easy/hard. Have i just missed something?
For my part, I'm hoping that all of the reagents required to make parchments remain easy to acquire, as the parchments will be used by enchanters to auction enchants. If parchments are expensive, it'll make enchanting less profitable because of the overheads.
Used by the Inscription profession to create scrolls between skill level 30-75 (by the way, Alabaster Pigment can't be milled from Mageroyal anymore, that should be fixed at wowhead aswell).

Farm League produces an ingenious concept to meld the dynamics of pro-level tennis and music in the Wilson Tennis campaign “Play Your Heart Out.” Using the racket as the only instrument, the track is uniquely composed of tennis sounds captured during Roger Federer’s workout in the Mojave Desert while Money Mark live mixed the sounds into an electronic beat.
As a special complement to the launch, Farm League designed and arranged for the pressing of limited edition vinyl records of the track. An innovative concept that hooks into the worlds of advertising, music and sports - a limited edition RF 97 box set, including the vinyl, will go on sale worldwide on July 16th. This exclusive kit will be limited to 1,200 units globally. The box set will retail for $597.00 (USD) and includes exclusive keepsakes from the campaign.
