Last month I began a series on what stocks I’ve been buying via the Robinhood app. I intend to keep updating my interactions with my investments in the app. So first, let’s see how I’ve been doing.
So far I’ve transferred and invested $219.28 into the Robinhood app. At the end of July, my balance was $223.13. That’s an increase of $3.85. Up is definitely the direction I want to go, however, $4.72 of my balance consists of the free stock (which happens to be CHK or Chesapeake Energy) I’ve received. Sadly, that means I’m actually down a whopping 87¢. Sigh.
Stock price must be affordable - under $100, maybe even under $50. This is because Robinhood currently does not support buying fractional shares.
The company must be a company I believe in - in terms of growth, ethics, technology, innovation, etc. So, no Wal-Mart, no tobacco companies, etc.
There is a slight preference to companies I use.
I’ve been paying a bit more attention to three metrics, two of which are normally available via Robinhood. The two that Robinhood tells me are the price-to-earnings ratio and the dividend yield. The third I’ve been paying attention to is actually these two multiplied together: if you multiple price/earnings by dividend/price, the prices cancel out and you get dividend/earnings. This is important because too high of a dividend over earnings ratio (also known as a dividend payout ratio) is unsustainable and can indicate problems in a company.
Let’s look at an example where it might be a problem. One of the stocks I’ve bought is GameStop (GME). According to Robinhood’s website, as I write this, their PE ratio is 297.00, while their dividend yield is 9.37%. if you multiply these together, you find out that they’re paying out a crazy 2,783% of their earnings in dividends.
GameStop is an odd example. Their earnings have dropped a lot recently, and thus their PE ratio has skyrocketed. It’s feasible the last time they paid out dividends - which is typically what a dividend yield is based on - the dividend payout ratio wasn’t that crazy.
Now, let’s look at a much more reasonable example. Verizon’s (VZ) PE ratio is 6.96 and while their dividend yield is 4.41%. This means the dividend payout is a much more reasonable 31%.
The first four of these are dividend-paying stocks. The last one is a risky “penny stock” that cost me 40¢.
Ally is the same online Ally Bank that has savings accounts with an interest rate of 1.80%. Honestly, if I only cared about dividend yield, I would’ve been better off to put my money in an Ally savings account since their dividend yield is less than that at 1.37%.
I have student loans I’m paying to Navient, so I figured that I might as well get some of that money back by owning the company.
I don’t currently own a Nokia phone, but my first phone was a Nokia (hello nostalgia) and I’m pretty sure their basic “dumb” phones are still the most popular phones in the world. They do make some smartphones, and I may look into those if I ever get another phone. My old Samsung Galaxy S5 is still chugging along, so I don’t need to replace it yet.
GM? Well, I drive a Chevy, and for some reason, I’m partial to GM. I guess it was just an emotional buy. I did buy Ford last month, though. The reason I bought Ford before GM is simply because Ford was cheaper.
I’m starting to play with (which probably means lose money with) options. I didn’t do much last month except buy one option.
What does that mean? The put means I had an option to sell 100 shares for $6.00 if it expired and FIT was less than $6.00. So, if FIT expires at $5.00 a share, that means I sell 100 shares of FIT for $6.00 that I am able to buy on the market for $5.00, netting me $1.00 a share. Since there are 100 shares, you multiply that by 100, which means I’d net $100. Minus how much I paid - 11¢ a share at 100 shares means it cost me $11, I would have made $89 in this hypothetical scenario.
I guess I should’ve kept it. ¯\(ツ)/¯.
They’re all doing okay, especially compared to that second one: Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (HMNY). HMNY is the parent company of MoviePass. They did a 250-1 reverse stock split. I had only bought 10 of their stocks for around 50¢ each. This meant that my 10 stocks turned into one of their new stocks since every fractional share of the new stock was turned into a whole share. I should’ve sold it immediately when it was around $12 or so, because their stocks are right back at only a few pennies a share. Again, ¯\(ツ)/¯.
This money is money I can afford to lose - when I buy any stocks, I automatically assume a complete loss, at least as far as my budget goes.

Good job on the month earning season can be hard. Options are my favorite but you’re right they are very hard to manage. I consider each trade even a losing one worth the money in tuition on how the stock market works. I’ve read and studied a lot of strategies and theories but there’s no learning like jumping in yourself to see what happens.
Huh, I didn’t know earning season was a thing. I noticed there were a lot of earnings reports, but since I just started this, I just assumed that there were this many earning reports all year long.

Meet the local high school athletes that are poised for success.
They’ve outpaced the competition, sent rocketing tennis balls so quick the opponents barely knew what whizzed by them, and thrown winning touchdowns, one after another. They’ve shaken off double-teams with speed and strength. They’ve blocked so many goals the opposing offense bemoans them by name. And they’re more than ready for another season of extraordinary athletic accomplishments. We gathered some of South Jersey’s most outstanding athletes, across a broad range of sports, and found out what they’re thinking as they head into another hard-fought fall high school sports season.
Lisa, a 6-foot-2 senior quarterback, threw for a school-record 2,240 yards and 24 touchdowns in his first year as the starter in 2010. After leading Moorestown to a 7-3 season and a playoff appearance, the heavily recruited QB is looking to lead the Quakers to a sectional title this fall.
What colleges have shown the most interest in you? The big football schools are Maryland, New Hampshire, Western Michigan and Kent State. The other schools I’m more likely to go to are Penn, Princeton, Harvard and Yale.… My future will probably be in the Ivy League.
Have you enjoyed the recruiting process? In the beginning it’s really fun just to be able to talk to coaches and to get letters. It kind of gets stressful toward the end because you want to make the right decision and enjoy your senior year. Overall, I’d say it’s a great experience to go through.
I’m sure you’ve been dreaming about playing college football for a long time. Was there a point when you realized you had a good chance of fulfilling that dream? Probably in eighth grade when my class was at 125 [pounds in midget football] and we won the championship. Ever since then, I’ve loved football and really wanted to play in college.
You went to the state championship last year, but didn’t go undefeated. This season, where are you looking to improve as a team? I would say confidence as a team and not looking ahead. Every game is going to be a battle. We’re ranked pretty high and everyone is going to be gunning for us, so we have to bring our A game every single snap of every single down of every single game in order to make it where we want to go.
Was there any aspect of the game you personally focused on in the offseason? Footwork, pocket presence and being able to command and lead the offense. Being able to recognize defenses and put the offense in the best situations to get first downs and score touchdowns.
How long have you been playing football, and when did you become a quarterback? I started when I was 11 or 12. Back when I first started playing I was a tight end, lineman and middle linebacker. In seventh grade, they needed a quarterback, and I knew I could throw the ball so I tried out. It just took off from there.
Which college or NFL quarterbacks do you admire? In college, this Maryland quarterback Danny O’Brien, just the way he controls the offense. I’ve met him: he’s a real nice guy with a good head on his shoulders. In the NFL, [Atlanta Falcons QB] Matt Ryan is probably one of my biggest role models. He has a big frame but he can control the game from a pro set, drop back and throw the ball deep.
As a junior, Grabert was named an all-South Jersey defender after leading the Minutemaids to a 17-5 season. And after three one-goal losses to eventual state champion Eastern, the last of those in the South Jersey semifinals, Grabert is hoping to best the state champs in her final year of high school play. Also known for her playmaking skills in the midfield, Grabert has high expectations for her senior year on the team.
Is this season going to be bittersweet since it’s your last at Washington Township? Yes. Everything you do is for the last time. Your last first scrimmage, your last first game. It’s sad, but fun at the same time.
Now that some time has passed, do you consider last season a success despite its disappointing ending? It was definitely a big year for us. We had a lot of accomplishments, even though we didn’t achieve our biggest goal of beating Eastern. But we have a lot of people coming back and it should be another great year.
What are your goals for the season? I just want us to have a good year and finish strong. When it comes to our last game, I want us to be satisfied and not look back with any regrets.
You’ve played midfield and defense in your career. Which do you prefer, and which will you be playing this season? I like midfield, and that’s mostly what I’ve been playing. I’m not really sure [what I’ll play this year] because we’ve been trying different lineups and formations.
How did you get started in field hockey in the first place? In sixth grade some of my friends were going out for the team. I had never played [an organized] sport before so I thought it might be fun. I ended up falling in love with the sport.
Your coach, Jeannine O’Connor, calls you the quarterback of the team. What does that mean to you? She’s said that to me before too. She said it’s because I have the best view of the field and I can create. I don’t score a lot, but I think I can create a lot [of opportunities] for my team, and they always help me out by finishing off the goal.
Have you become more of a leader as a senior captain? Yes and it’s a little different: Everybody is looking up to you now and you can never slack off. It’s a lot of pressure, but I like it. It makes you work even harder. I can be a vocal leader, but I’m not great at talking in big groups. I mostly lead by example.
As a junior, Herr was one of the state’s best runners—finishing 10th at the Meet of Champions with a time of 15:58 and placing 10th at the Group 4 state meet. As a senior, he’s looking to improve on those finishes and guide the Renegades to a sectional championship. And after missing most of the spring track season with an IT band strain, he’s recovered and ready to run.
When you miss an entire season like you did last spring, does it really make you appreciate the time you have left as a high school athlete? Definitely. There was a lot I wanted to accomplish in spring track, but now I have one season left to do it.
Looking back on your cross-country season, you were able to accomplish a lot. Were you happy with last season? By the end of the season I was really happy. In the beginning I wasn’t really living up to the potential I thought I had: I wasn’t hitting the times I wanted. I just stayed patient and got a lot of long runs in, and it paid off at states and the Meet of Champions.
What are your goals for this season? For one thing, I want the team to try to win sectionals. I think we have the support we need to get that title again, like we did two years ago. That was a great feeling, so I want that to happen again: that’s my biggest goal for the season. On the individual level, I want to win sectionals. For [my race] time, I want to be closer to 15:30 at sectionals.
Running alongside a teammate like Peter Murray—a fellow senior who placed 24th in the Meet of Champions and 21st in the state Group 4 meet last year—do you guys push each other? It definitely helps. We push each other in practice. We’re friends and we ran captains’ practices together all summer. We train in between seasons together.
Does your strategy stay the same for every race? It all depends on the course and the people who are in the race. If I’m up against somebody I know is fast, like a good miler in track, I’ll try to get a big lead on them so they don’t out-kick me in the end. But if they’re more of a long-distance runner, then I try to out-kick them. And at courses like Holmdel, you have to watch out for all the hills. Holmdel is definitely rough: you have to know where all the hills are and how fast to run up them.
When did you know you had a talent for long-distance running? Back in elementary school, we used to run the 1,000 in school. I guess I did really well, and my gym teacher told my mom I should try out for the Medford Township track team. I started cross country in fifth or sixth grade.
What do you love about running? It’s good to get your mind off things. It helps me with time management, like with schoolwork. I know I have to go run after school, then when I get home I know I have to be focused on schoolwork. When I’m not running, I have all this extra time that I just throw away.
Do you plan on running in college, and where do you think that might be? I know I want to run in college.... I like Cornell, that’s where my old teammate goes, Dave Forward. And I really like Duke University—I just visited there a couple of weeks ago. Those are my top choices right now.
One of the best scorers in South Jersey, Ryan found the back of the net 24 times last year as a junior, one short of the school record for a season. He also had seven assists and led Cherokee to the Group 4 state championship, the second state title in program history and the first since 2000.
You suffered a pretty bad left ankle sprain early in the summer. How does it feel now? I was playing club soccer and some kid took me out and I just rolled it. I was out four or five weeks, but I’ve recovered 100 percent.
Obviously last year was a huge year for the team and you personally. Were you satisfied with your season? I had a lot of goals, but when it comes down to it I’d rather win the game than get goals. It’s fun to get records and all that, but the team comes first.
Since you brought it up, what would it mean to get the school record for goals in a season? It would mean a lot, to be one of the top scorers for Cherokee. Like I said, the team comes first, but it’s in the back of my head.
You played with another great forward last year, Dave Schlatter. How different is it going to be now that he’s graduated? We did work really well together. But Jason Speaker, who also plays on my club team, is up there now and we work well together, too. We’ll probably have a good season together.
Have you always been a scorer? Yeah, I’ve always played forward and scored goals. I feel like I can read the game very well. It just comes natural to me.
When did you start playing soccer? I think the first year I started was when I was 7. My dad played through college and he’s still coaching, so he got me started at a young age. He coaches our club team [the Marlton Lightning Red].
What’s it like playing for him? Is he extra hard on you because you’re his son? When I was younger he was hard on me, but now he just gives me that look like, “You better step it up.” He’s a good coach; he knows what he’s doing.
Have you made a college decision yet? I verbally committed to Temple in June, right before school ended. They have a good soccer program. I’m looking to go for business and they have a really good business school.
Despite losing some key players from last year, is this year’s team capable of winning another state championship? Yeah, I think we have the talent. Last year when we went into the season we didn’t think we were a state championship team. But over the season we started becoming a family and we fought for each other. I think we can do that again, but it is harder to repeat.
Was winning the state championship your best moment in soccer? That and my club team won the U.S. club nationals last summer, so that was pretty nice.
As a senior at Cherokee, are you becoming more of a leader? Yes. Me and Barry Fitzgerald were named captains, so that’s making me be more respectful and more of a leader. You have to be loyal, determined and willing to do anything to help the team.
Considered one of the best young players in the area, Dixon burst onto the South Jersey scene last year by scoring 30 goals as a freshman. After helping the Vikings to their 12th straight Group 4 state championship and a 26-1 season—losing only in the Tournament of Champions finals—Dixon is hoping to guide Eastern back to the Tournament of Champions this year.
What’s it like being part of a program that’s expected to be the best in the area every year? It’s a great program with a lot of history and a lot of tradition. It’s really great to be a part of it.
Do you ever feel the pressure of those expectations? There’s pressure, but I think as a team we handle it well. We just go out and play hard every game. It gives us something to work hard for.
What kind of personal goals have you set for yourself for this season? Well, the team comes first, and if my stats come, they come. I’m more worried about the team.
Have you always been a goal scorer? I’ve always been a forward, so I’ve always gotten a lot of opportunities to score. I get [my goals] from a mixture of things. Some come off penalty corners.
Were you surprised to have so much success last year as a freshman? Yeah, I was surprised. There was a lot of pressure last year coming into such a great program and starting as a freshman. This year there’s a little less pressure because I’m getting used to it. I’m part of it now.
How did you first get involved in the sport? I started playing field hockey the summer going into fifth grade. I went to Berlin Community School and played there. I also played softball, basketball and lacrosse. [But] I just loved field hockey. My aunt [Jackie Dixon] used to play at Eastern, and she helped get me into it.
Who are some of the people you look up to in field hockey? On this year’s team, obviously my coach, Coach [Danyle] Heilig. The [current] players I look up to are Alana Barry, Carly Celkos and Julia Osisek. Last year, Cori Allen I really looked up to. She helped me out a lot.
What’s it like playing for Coach Heilig? It’s intense but she’s a great coach. We’re really lucky to be coached by her.
Obviously last season was disappointing. Do you think the team will turn things around in 2011? I definitely feel we’re going to improve. I personally went to several camps over the summer and I’ve definitely improved as a football player. We had a lot of energy going into camp because we don’t want to have the same season as last year. I think we have 26 letter winners coming back, so we should be pretty good.
Will you be starting on both the offensive and defensive lines again this year? So far I’m just playing defense. They want to keep me fresh so I have more energy during the game. I was fine with it: I’m trying to primarily focus on defense. But if they ever need me on offense I know all the plays like the back of my hand and I’ll be right back there.
How did you get started in football? I always played after school with kids in middle school and I always told people I played football. I went out and tried it [freshman year] and I loved it. When I first came out I wanted to play wide receiver. I didn’t really know anything about football, and I wanted to be one of the glory guys who catches the ball and scores the touchdowns. But I found out that playing line is just as rewarding.
Was last season your breakout year? Yeah, definitely. I played end my first two years but they switched me to nose guard because I got a lot bigger, and I really excelled at that.
You really showed a burst off the line last year. Is your speed your biggest strength on defense? Yeah, my speed and I’m a pretty strong guy. I’m definitely not the tallest guy around but I think I have a lot of leverage.
Is there anybody you try to model your game after? I always go on the Internet to find undersized linemen. People always tell me that I’d be better off as a fullback or linebacker because linemen are usually from 6-foot-2 to 6-foot-6. There’s not many linemen under 6 foot, so that gives me more motivation. Michael Vick is really short for a quarterback, so that’s motivation right there. If you think you can do it, then work yourself to that point. Don’t let height be a factor.
There’s a YouTube video of your highlights from last season. Have you gotten any response to that? I have two [Division III] schools and one D-I school interested in me. Rochester University really wants me. They said they’re losing eight linemen, so I’d be going to a great situation. Fairleigh Dickinson, they liked my tape too.
What are your goals for your final season at Cherry Hill East? I definitely want to make first team all-South Jersey if I can. Last year I didn’t expect to make all-conference or all-group, I just played as hard as I could. Now I’m shooting for the stars. For the team, I would like to go undefeated. Everybody wants to say that, but I definitely want to give people a run for their money, because everybody says we’re going to lose our conference.
Last year you snuck up on a lot of people, but now you’re well known. Is that going to be added pressure? I don’t really think there’s added pressure. If they’re going to double-team me, I’ve beaten most teams’ double-teams. I don’t think there’s much they can do.
The South Jersey Player of the Year in both of her first two scholastic seasons, the junior went 39-4 last year. She captured Colonial Conference, Camden County and South Jersey Interscholastic titles as a sophomore.
You went 39-4 last year. How often do you think about the four losses? Honestly, not very much. Normally after the matches I lose, I think about what I did wrong and what I can do better the next time. Maybe my serve or my footwork were off. I think it can be a positive experience [to lose], not something that’s going to hold me back.
Haddonfield is replacing several players who graduated, including your older sister Spencer. What do you think it’s going to be like without her on the team? A little strange. It’s nice having a sister on the team. I think all three of our seniors who graduated provided great leadership. They’ll definitely be missed and hard to replace. But we have the Senopoulos sisters [Catherine and Rebecca], who are also great leaders, and I think I can take on more of a leadership role this season.
What does leadership mean in a sport like tennis? I think leadership can be vocal and also by example. Leadership is going out there and showing that you’ll never give up and trying to make an impact on the other players. Show them that there’s always another match and you can always improve. That’s the most important part of leadership, and also picking each other up.
Your sister Spencer owns the school record with 140 wins, which will certainly be in your reach in the next two years. Is the record something you think about? I think about it sometimes, but it’s really not of the greatest importance to me. It’s a great record, but I think if I’m improving, that will be satisfactory to me. Winning the most matches or having that number is not all that important.
The South Jersey Player of the Year in 2010, this three-year starter at goalie led Lenape to a 23-1-2 season that included the Group 4 state championship. Last season, she recorded 14 shutouts and had a .33 goals-against average.
Has it sunk in yet what a historic season you personally had in 2010? I mostly thank my defense, because it definitely wasn’t all me. I didn’t really get that many shots last year and I can thank my defense for that. I can thank my defense for all of my accomplishments.
When you became the starting goalie as a sophomore, what was the adjustment like being in that position for one of the best teams in the state? I’m pretty shy, so the coaches would always get on me about talking to my defense. They expected a lot of me my sophomore year. I had to step up.
Now that you’re a senior do you feel more comfortable in that leadership role? Now I’m used to everyone, and I feel like I can talk to my players and they’ll listen. I’m more confident now, and I’m definitely more of a leader.
What do you like most about being in net? A lot of people don’t get this, but I like having the pressure on me. I like when people have to rely on me. I love PKs, [that is, penalty kicks]. I’ll take any goalie one-on-one in PKs. Not a lot of goalies will say that.
Have you made a college decision yet? I’m still weighing it. I have no idea where I want to go. I’ve had schools look at me but I really don’t know where I want to go. I don’t care what division, but I definitely want to play.
What are your goals for your last year at Lenape? Last year we let in 11 goals. My goal for this year is to let in less than eight. We definitely want to win a state championship and the Coaches Tournament, the same as last year.
A look at some of the other players we expect to stand out this season from across the tri-county area.
Claire Bennett, Cherokee girls’ volleyball: An all-South Jersey outside hitter, the senior had 72 kills and 22 digs a year ago.
Marissa Cutry, Shawnee field hockey: An all-South Jersey defender as a sophomore, she led the Renegades to an 18-3 record and a sectional championship.
Courtney Kovac, Lenape girls’ soccer: This midfielder was named all-South Jersey as a junior after recording 12 goals and eight assists for the Group 4 state champs.
Emily McGee, Lenape girls’ cross country: McGee is coming off an impressive freshman season, in which she placed fourth in Group 4 in South Jersey and 16th in the state.
Grace Streicher, Cherokee girls’ volleyball: The senior was named all-South Jersey for the second straight year after posting 83 kills, 360 assists and 49 service points.
Jarred Alwan, Camden Catholic football: An all-South Jersey linebacker as a sophomore, he had 104 tackles, three sacks and two defensive touchdowns a year ago.
Alana Barry, Eastern field hockey: A senior goalie, Barry was named to the all-state team after posting a 26-1 record with 19 shutouts last year in leading the Vikings to their 12th straight state championship.
Holly Bischof, Bishop Eustace girls’ cross-country: This senior took second at the Meet of Champions and the Non-Public A state meet and won the South Jersey Open in 2010.

It has been a very long time coming, but Google+ for iOS has finally gotten one of the most important updates that we've all been waiting for: full iPad support. The iPhone version has been getting a steady stream of love from Google with updates that have roughly matched up with the G+ app updates on Android, but while Android tablet users have had a proper version of G+, until now iPad users have had to either deal with the pixelated upsized iPhone version, or the mobile-view web version.
Today, Google+ for iOS was updated to version 3.0, which adds full iPad support, and we must say it looks quite good. In landscape view, the app looks something like Pulse but with more visual flare, with posts laid out side-by-side which fade in as you scroll through. The new version also adds Google+ Events for both iPhone and iPad, which allows users to create events and invite lists while being able to check invitee availability based on their Google Calendar schedule.
The update also brings the ability to attach Instant Upload photos to posts. And, maybe the second best feature aside from proper iPad support is the ability to both start and join Hangouts right from the app. Hangouts are still one of the more popular features of G+, so being able to join from more devices is never a bad thing.
Early reports say that there is a bit of lag in the app, but overall it's looking pretty solid. If you've been waiting before grabbing G+ for your iPad, now is the time. Google+ for iOS is available for free in the iTunes App Store.

The Guidance Program at St. Charles College focuses on student orientation, education, and career planning, linkages with post-secondary institutions such as universities and community colleges, as well as apprenticeship and workplace initiatives. The monitoring of student progress, and the development of special programs such as peer tutoring and remediation programs for at-risk students are also key programs. Large and small group sessions in guidance related topics are integrated into the total school program. Referrals to school resource personnel and community and social services are facilitated by the guidance counsellor for those seeking help with individual, social and emotional problems.
individual counselling about courses and careers, as well as interest and aptitude tests to assist students to discover their interests.
Although Guidance counsellors attempt to contact students every year with regard to future plans, students should request an interview at a time best for themselves rather than waiting to be contacted.
Our Student Success Department works hand-in-hand to support Guidance, the Literacy Coach as well as the students at St. Charles College. The Student Success Teacher helps our students who are at risk of failing to get on track. The Student Success Department offers students a lunch drop-in homework club, as well as an after school homework club. Students can also ask their classroom teacher to leave class to work in the Student Success area through out the day if they need a quiet place to work that is free from distractions. The department also offers some students the option to complete credit recovery if they were close to passing their course. This means that they can complete the necessary assignments to achieve the credit that they were unsuccessful at attaining the first time round.

It's a brand-new year, which means we all want to do one thing: use the next 12 months to get our lives in order. Since 2014, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up has helped thousands of people de-clutter and get organized. Now Marie Kondo's Spark Joy book trailer is finally out, and it's got a tutorial to help you get a jump-start on your neat-and-tidy New Year's resolution.
Kondo's KonMari method is pretty simple. You pick up an object and intuit whether or not it brings you joy. If it doesn't, it needs a new home. Although I disagree with Kondo's opinion on books — essentially: if you've already read them, get rid of them, and if you haven't read them yet, you never will, so get rid of them — her organization philosophy honestly makes a lot of sense to me. You should surround yourself with positive energy and the things that make you happy; everything else just weighs you down.
Spark Joy isn't intended as a standalone guide. Rather, it's an illustrated companion to The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. If you think the release of a companion title sounds like a money-grabbing ploy, trust me, it isn't. The bevy of KonMari-inspired YouTube tutorials on how to organize drawers in the tidiest possible way — and which frustrate and awe a messy person like myself — prove that we need a guide from the master herself.
The Spark Joy book trailer isn't the first YouTube video the author has made. I'm pretty convinced that she's actually a witch who uses charmed clothing to trick Muggles into thinking they can do sorcery, but you can watch her tutorial on how to organize a socks-and-underwear drawer and decide for yourself.
Spark Joy is available January 5 from your favorite retailer.

Lori's Busy Life: Wednesday Medley- It's All About Halloween!
1. You’re in a horror movie. Are you the final person left, the first to die, the comic relief, the skeptic, the smart one, or the killer? Probably the first to die.
2. While watching scary movies, are you the person who yells at the characters, the person with their eyes covered the whole time or the person who falls asleep? When I watched scary movies I paid attention and would scream. I do not watch them anymore, they give me nightmares.
4. Favorite horror monster or villain? Hannibal Lector, I actually wanted to be a profiler because of him. I would never do that now. I do not know what I was thinking.
6. Tell us something random about your week. My husband and I started binge watching an older show on Amazon Prime, our son watched it already. I am liking it...Mr. Selfridge. If you haven't seen it, it is about the first department store. It is in London and is still open today! Selfridge's! I had never even heard of it. Has anyone been to this store?
Thanks for joining in on the Medley!! I answered Monster Mash too!
I will have to check out that show now. I am so with you on the NOPE for the haunted house...I do not know what the people that say yes are thinking!!!
Hi, dropping in from the Medley link. I have been to Selfridges but then I live in London so it would be strange if I hadn't! That, plus Harrods and Fortnum & Mason are definitely must see stores when visiting and Hamleys if you have kids.
I'm laughing at your Hannibal Lector answer. I've not seen the movie, just the clip, and refuse to watch it!! I've watched some episodes of Selfridges, but not all. The true story ends very sadly. Maybe I'll stop in in December. Can't wait!
We watched the whole series of Mr. Selfridge and enjoyed it very much. I wish we had known about that when we visited London. Another favorite of ours on Netflix was Foyle's War. We loved it.
Now how many scary movies did you have to watch before you knew you better quit? Haha.
I don't know who Hannibal Lextor is?!
I'd not heard of Selfridge's … but it sounds like a great alternative to the stuff shown on network!
I've been to Selfridges! Now will have to watch the show!
"I dont know what I was thinking" - that so made me laugh.
I forgot about Hannibal Lector. They don't get much more monster-esk than that character. We watched a show recently and they mentioned him and showed a short scene from the movie. Such a horrible man! Yes, we watched most if not all of the Selfridges on PBS. It was good and yes the ending was sad, but a very well done movie based on truth. I have not been there unfortunately. Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope to see you here next Wednesday.
Hi Lori.... I'm not patient with medical issues, either. I'll wait with you, and we can try to bolster each other's patience.
Insurance should cover mental illness because underlaying far too many mental problems is an un-diagnosed physical illness. We found that out with our daughter.
Have a lovely and restful weekend. You deserve it!

Was it nobility or stupidity the stunt for a girl's heart? [details inside]?
A college freshman tried to recreate a stunt he seen on TV where he would be pulled along by a truck to a ramp where he would shoot up the ramp and land on the flat roof of a 2 story apartment building, but the stunt goes wrong and he hits the top of the window and ends up in the bedroom. Lucky to be alive I guess, he might never walk again or if he does will have life long problems. The girl he was trying to impress with this great stunt knows about it but don’t even care to go to the hospital to even see if he was Ok or if she at least felt honored by it or anything. Seeing he was putting his life at risk over this stunt for a girl who seems she couldn’t care less for him, was that nobility or just plain stupidity?
From a utility standpoint, there is a net loss here. The man suffered for his stunt (loss), and the girlfriend could not care less (no gain in utility for the man or the girlfriend). Therefore, I concur with @josie‘s opinion.
Noble would be like…. I dunno, pulling two orphans out of a burning building. Pulling a stunt like this and even succeeding, is not noble and still would be stupid. Besides he was trying way too hard to impress her. I vote stupid.
Nobility for me, is always something selfless. Doing something to impress anyone, does not qualify for selfless behavior in my book.
Sometimes you can do things that impress others by your actions. These are most often things that are not intended to impress. Typically, stupid things do not impress too many people. If you do something stupid and someone is impressed by your stupid actions, you probably will make a great couple (for a short time until one of you does something else stupid and maims or kills yourself). Ergo, there is no real point to doing stupid things to impress someone.
This was a stupid stunt and I don’t think the girl has any obligation to even acknowledge the idiot. Imagine how she feels now. For a moment, what this guy did… the reasons he’s saying he did it, might make her feel, just a little bit or for a moment, responsible when she is absolutely not. This guy was trying to show off for a girl and it backfired. In my book ‘show off’ = ‘fool’.
That guy is a plain moron.
Why bother impress someone with that ? He didn’t even know squat about her to even think about doing something like that.
Now what was he thinking?? Something like this would never win a girls heart, what happened to going and picking a girl flowers or writing a shy kind of note that you like her…. This was plain stupidity!
I think he was thinking of himself not the girl.
Maybe he thought that girls like daredevils or risk takers because they more bravado than the average guy?.
This is why peacocks have feathers.
Peacocks have feathers because they are vain.
Male peacocks are the only ones with brightly coloured plumage.
Peahens as the female peacock is called do not have the multi-coloured bright array.
I think women prefer honesty and kindness. It helps if you are funny too.
@Hidden_Mystery Well… Most birds have feathers, and I don’t think it’s because they are vain.
The sexual dichromatism, of male and female birds is due to natural selection. Female birds tend to be the ones who choose their mates, and a fit male who appears healthy is usually the one picked. This behavior leads to sexual dimorphism.
Male displays, i.e. plumage & bright colors, attract potential mates. So it’s not out of vanity that males are brightly or multicolored, it’s survival of the fittest, the best looking boys get the birds. Then they get to propagate their genes, which leaves us with more bright pretty male birds. Unhealthy birds aren’t able to look as nice, so their genes are primarily left out, and you can see the results. Male birds are literally more attractive.
With humans, men often will try to prove their manliness to achieve similar results as the birds, clearly this doesn’t always work out so well.
Anthropomorphizing peacocks by saying they are vain, would be a mistake. As the peahens themselves, are the ones to “blame” for the way the peacock looks.
The guy was flat out stupid.
If he thought that, he’s still pretty stupid. That’s not bravado.
Stupid X a 1,000 times.
Flat out stupid. What’s noble about being a jackass?
The girl would be stupid as well, if she acknowledged him at all. She would be wise to stay as far away as possible from that moron.
Ego. And look where it got him.
Seriously, how can you do something like that for someone else? Not possible. He was trying to impress her, so it wasn’t about her, it was about his own ego.
one tiny moment of noble followed by lots of stupid.
For whatever reason one wants to show off ever, do it with a skill you have !!
She probably already knew he was a moron and he didn’t have to go through all that trouble to prove it.
Stupidity. Noble is laying your coat on a puddle. Risking your life doing something reckless just for someone to notice you? Stupid.
Just stupidity. Complete utter stupidity.
Stupid. And the girl owes him nothing.
The guy who did the stunt : Stupid guy.
It sounds like he was hoping to end up in the girl’s bedroom and he did. Definite Darwin Awards material here.
Stupid. If the girl knows him at all then she might be staying away to not further embarass him. I’m sure she’s embarased to. If the girl didn’t know him before then this act shows she surely doesn’t need to get to know him.
Is it just joking or flirting?

but it will nanytime die.
Posted: Fri 3:43, 01 Apr 2011 Post subject: but it will nanytime die.
Sometimes I deathwatch up in the morning and anticipate of the coming day and advancing canicule in accepted, and I attenuatek that I must have been built-in on the amiss event. But again I boring realize that I am just where I am declared to be. When I absoluteize that all of my faerial, worries, and abjure assume to just vanish. I apprehend that there is not abundant that I can do to change the world. In adjustment to make abundant changes the aboveity of the humans must be willing to say yes. They must be accommodating to display the behaviors that will make affairs bigger and put abreast tbeneficiary aberrations and to so. Most of the time this does not appear. I have accustomed up on alteration the world. Doing what I can has beappear acceptable abundant. What I can do that advices accomplish the world better is to be true to my abysmal amount behavior about life, God, and the way the world should be.
As I actualize adulation in my activity and the accurate ability that this world is not all there is, I am animate. I reside in the mauguryt where accomplished and approaching don't exist and I acquaintance the joy and beatitude of active in the now. I apperceive that eactual moment and anytimey act in this moment able-bodied done advances to life inaccount of the constancy of abolition and afterlife. If you are afraid abender the altitude in the apple and how to cadheree them I would advance that self change have to be a big allotment of it. If you accept a aesthetics, adoration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or spiacademism that cannot accompany you accord in the bosom of this blaze in which we acquisition ourselves, I would say it is time to change your religion or appoint in it in a altered way. Religion and adherence abide for times like these, area the elastic accommodateds the alley and it gets hot. There is not time for woo woo and la la when we are in atrocious bewilderments. Tactuality is, about,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the befalling for advance and change. The opanchorageaccord to backboneen onecocky and ones association is consistently prebeatific, abnormally in the midst of the fire. This is becould cause ancients in such affairs, deawaiting on one's will and admiration, one can abound the additions all-important to fly on the apprehension of affliction. This can alone action, however, if one moves from religion or philoapprenticey to a abstruseal affiliation with God.
When one realizes that there is not me versus God, me 9f812c4ef18d4f2a24413asleepe9ff7b6 her, my accumulation versus the world that is the aboriginal footfall. The additional step is acumen that we are all in it calm and in achievement we are all one. We are the easily of the dibackcountry on this apple and our borschers and sisters are absorptions of us. They are our own aggregate adumbration that we must embchase to apprentice the abstruse of aerial and to accept the deep locations of ourselves that we wish to advance abroad and adios. When we bead the banks like that it agency letting go of the charge to win. It beggarlys letting go of the need to be on top and to be the appropriate one. When one lets go of the need to win and to attempt to prove oneself and realizes that he has alaccessible done so and is part of the all-powerful article alleged God,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one has accustomed at the destination that he has been gluttonous. It is as addle-patele as absolution go of the abstraction of abstracted self and acquisitive the greater accuracy. We are all one. We are one actuality embodied in abounding beingas. This is not a articulate account, nor is it abstract. It is absolute. When one has accomplished this there is no affliction, no break, life or death is absurd, because that which is abiding may change anatomy, but it will never die.

The Auratone 5C Super Sound Cube loudspeaker has a long and noble history in music recording. Its little six-inch wide cabinet and single small driver cone can often be seen perched atop the console meterbridge in pictures of classic studio sessions from the ‘70s and ‘80s, and its important mixdown role for some the biggest records of the era (the Bee Gees’ Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and Michael Jackson’s Thriller, to name but two) has been well documented. Indeed, some engineers used Auratones as their primary monitors during mixdown. There remains, however, a good deal of conflicting opinion about why exactly this little speaker was so popular.
One line of argument is simply that the thing sounded so horrid that any mix managing to come through it reasonably intact ought similarly to survive playback through even the cheapest and nastiest end-user systems — an important commercial consideration for mass-market releases. However, while the speaker’s rather brash, middly timbre did earn it nicknames such as ‘horrortone’ and ‘awfultone’, this reasoning has always felt a bit questionable to me, because the speaker’s doped-paper-cone driver and closed-box cabinet actually deliver much lower distortion and better transient response than most mass-market playback hardware, even nowadays.
More important than the speaker’s supposedly ‘lo-fi’ quality, in my view, was its strong mid-range emphasis, which helps create mixes that translate better across a full range of different listening systems. You see, it’s the mid frequencies of your mix that’ll typically reach the largest number of listeners — low frequencies tend to be expensive and bulky to generate, so lots of cheap devices end up being quite tinny, while high frequencies are easily absorbed via obstacles in the listening environment, or else obscured by background noise. A key factor here was the speaker’s ability to reveal the intricacies of a mix’s balance, unhampered by the low-frequency cabinet/room resonances and inter-driver crossover distortions that frequently beleaguer larger loudspeaker systems.
Adding to the potential for confusion is the fact that the Sound Cube actually went through a number of different revisions over the years. Although all these versions inevitably share some audible characteristics by virtue of broadly similar size and design, there were nonetheless significant sonic differences between them, and engineers may favour one vintage over another, depending on which aspects of the Auratone’s multi-faceted skill set they prize most highly.
Auratone's founder, Jack Wilson, died in 2005. Enthusiasm for their former products continued unabated, however, and vintage units began fetching increasingly higher prices second-hand. Spotting a gap in the market, Avant Electronics began manufacturing the Avantone MixCube, their own updated take on the Auratone concept, in the mid ‘00s. The success of this product encouraged several other manufacturers to subsequently dip their toes in the water, too — most notably Behringer with their C5A and C50A. Now, however, the story has come full circle, because descendants of Jack Wilson have brought to market a new speaker that they’re billing as the most authentic recreation of the classic Super Sound Cube available.
As you’d expect, the redesign is visually very similar to its celebrated forebear, although some new materials and components have had to be used where the originals are no longer available. The cabinet is built of sturdy 16mm MDF and finished in smart matte-black laminate. The solid binding posts at the rear will accept either bare wires or banana plugs for the amplifier connection, and I drafted in a classic Quad 303 amp for my own testing, lining the new Auratones up against a pair of 1980-vintage 5Cs, and my own Avantone Active Mix Cube.
On first listen, I was rather taken aback, frankly. My previous experience of several different Auratones has led me to expect an unforgiving, almost brutal focus on the mid range, combined with limited extension towards the spectral extremes, particularly the low end. By contrast, these new little speakers actually sound surprisingly pleasant, and significantly more hi-fi than the 1980 versions I had on hand. So, for example, the warm-sounding bass parts of Travis’s ‘Pipedreams’ or Madonna’s ‘Nothing Fails’ were both presented with commendable solidity and evenness on the new Auratone, whereas they completely fell off the bottom end of the 1980-vintage Auratones, and were only lightly sketched on the Avantone MixCube (which has always felt bassier than any Auratone I’ve thus far encountered). At the high end it was a similar story — high percussives and vocal breathiness were both transmitted more clearly on the new Auratone than via either of the comparison speakers.
That’s not to say that the (in)famous mid-range emphasis isn’t in evidence. There was certainly the recognisable bump in the 1kHz region that I’d expected, as well as the general forwardness in the 1-8 kHz region, but these seemed to impart far less ‘horror’ to the tone than they did with other Auratones I’ve heard (including the 1980 models I compared directly), presumably on account of the new design’s greater overall spectral bandwidth. In this respect these speakers felt much less congested in tone than either of the comparison speakers, and (dare I say it) almost flattering by comparison.
An advert for the original Auratone 5C.
Questions of spectral character aside, though, the undoubted highlight of listening to these speakers for me is their precision in the time domain. Even the spikiest of percussion comes across with unflinching speed and detail, and effects tails and other background details are laid bare for close examination. By the same token, the depth perspective was excellent (something of a hallmark of closed-box designs for me) and the stereo imaging irreproachable. Switching from the new Auratone to the other two speakers under comparison, however, confirmed that they also performed well in this respect. On first impressions the Avantone felt a touch less clear, but after longer auditioning, I felt that this was more a consequence of the MixCube’s more subdued tonal personality than a significant speed issue.
Choosing the specific vintage of Auratone to emulate for this reissue apparently involved extended listening tests among long-time company members and their audio-engineering contacts, with the eventual verdict that the 1985 model sounded best. This doesn’t surprise me in the least, since these new Auratones are certainly a more enjoyable listen than any other Auratone I’ve ever heard, or than the Avantone MixCube I’ve been using regularly for years, or indeed than any of the other half-dozen affordable closed-box single-driver speakers that have passed through my studio in recent years. Unfortunately, while this might constitute a ringing endorsement were Sound On Sound a hi-fi magazine, within the context of the roles Auratones typically perform in the studio, I think it’s actually a bit of a mixed blessing.
My biggest concern is that the new Auratone’s extended frequency response didn’t give anything like the mid-range focus that was coming from either the 1980 Sound Cube or the Avantone in my side-by-side comparisons. Partly, this was a simple function of the new speaker’s remarkable spectral extension (particularly at the low end), but I think there’s more to it than that, because there also appeared to be something of a suckout around 500Hz — great for avoiding a boxy tone in general, but with the side-effect that the upper-bass frequencies frequently seemed to dominate over the lower-mid range somehow. Whatever the technicalities, though, the practical outcome is that there were frequently fairly drastic divergences in subjective balance portrayal when switching from the new speaker to either of the others under comparison. In some cases, it was enough that the vocal almost seemed to trade places in the pecking order with the snare, bass, or percussion, and some of my most well-worn reference tracks ended up sounding disconcertingly unfamiliar as a result — tracks I’ve heard on thousands of different listening systems and used extensively for critical mixing comparisons over many years.
As such, despite the legendary reputation of previous Auratone speakers as a benchmark for mass-market translation, I can’t honestly say I’d want to rely on this new incarnation in that role. I think it’s simply too hi-fi sounding and scooped in the low mids. In this respect, both the 1980 Auratone and the MixCube outperformed it during my listening tests. I think it’s also telling that although my two comparison speakers had quite different tonal characters (the mid-range bias of the 1980 Auratone was higher than that of the MixCube, while the latter seemed more understated overall), there were seldom significant disagreements between them about the balance of a given mix’s musical essentials.
Furthermore, I wouldn’t want to carry out critical lead-singer automation tasks on this new Auratone, as the relation between its recessed low mids and pushed 1-2 kHz region seems to have a serious impact on the perceived level of different vocal deliveries and pitch registers. In other words, it’d be easy to over-egg the level of a vocal syllable with a strong 500Hz component, while underplaying a higher note that happened to have plenty of energy at 1.5kHz. It doesn’t help, either, that vocal breathiness comes through very strongly, so it’s possible to be misled that a singer is well upfront even when they have negligible traction in the mid-range. For me, this is very much a dealbreaker, as vocal balancing is the most important task of single-driver monitoring in my own mixing workflow.
The speaker’s mid-range spectral lumpiness also undermines my confidence in it as a tool for mix referencing, because a snare with significant low harmonics, for instance, might not appear as forward in the balance as something lightweight and snappier in the upper-mid range. Clearly there’s no such thing as a truly ‘neutral’ speaker, so such ambiguities arise to an extent with any listening system you use, but it’s a question of degree, and in the case of the new Auratone I personally found mix referencing undesirably hit and miss.
All of which means that this product is something of a curate’s egg. On the one hand, I honestly think its revealing time-domain characteristics and comparatively wide frequency coverage actually make it a serious competitor to two-way nearfield systems in this kind of price range (even budgeting for an accompanying amp). However, I suspect most owners of small studios will instinctively baulk at the idea of using these little speakers as their primary monitoring system, however much anyone attempts to rationalise it. And on the other hand, I don’t reckon people with more expensive main monitors will be particularly well served by the new Auratone as a supplementary mid-range balancing tool — at least not by comparison with its most obvious competitor. Let’s hope, then, that the company’s product line may in future expand to include recreations of the 1970 or 1980 Auratone models, which I suspect might fill the mid-range-monitoring market niche more effectively.
Many thanks to Jan Krause (www.studiokrause.de) for his invaluable assistance with this review.
The new Auratone’s most direct competitor is Avantone’s MixCube. You can get this in passive form for very similar money, or shell out a bit more for the active version I used for the comparisons in this review. Although I’ve tried a number of other unported single-driver speakers, I’ve yet to hear any other mainstream product in this price range that matches these two options for time-domain fidelity and general clarity. Much cheaper than either of them are Behringer’s offerings, the C5A and C50A, but as I concluded in my SOS February 2012 review, in this arena you still pretty much get what you pay for.
It’s the same company that made the classic originals.
Single-driver, closed-box design offers time-domain precision, excellent depth perspective, and crystal-clear stereo presentation.
...which hamstrings it as a mid-range balancing tool.
Mid-range response vagaries compromise comparative judgements when you’re A/B’ing a mix against reference recordings.
The original Auratone company return with a recreation of their 1985 Super Sound Cube. In many respects a creditable monitor on its own terms, it loses out to the competition (and indeed some of its ancestors) in terms of mid-range insight.

Apoptosis is characterized by several morphological nuclear changes including chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation. These changes are triggered by the activation of members of caspase family, caspase activated DNase, and several novel proteins (1). A novel gene, the product of which causes chromatin condensation and DNA fragmentation, was recently identified, cloned, and designated apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) (2). Like the critical molecules, cytochrome c and caspase-9, in apoptosis, AIF localizes in mitochondria. AIF translocates to the nucleus when apoptosis is induced and induces mitochondria to release the apoptogenic proteins cytochrome c and caspase-9. AIF induces chromatin condensation and DNA fragmentation, which are the hallmarks of apoptosis, of the isolated nucleus and the nucleus in live cells by microinjection. AIF is highly conserved between human and mouse and widely expressed (2).

Folks, we are experimenting with a new event this year.
If it works well, we may do it again in the future.
What: Outdoor 'Baked Sweet Potato Party', plus 'Potluck Party'.
Preparation by host: I shall furnish the sweet potatoes, soft drinks, and the garden ready for the party.
Preparation by participants: Since this is a 'Potluck Party', please bring your own food and drinks.
Participation fee: None, but please respond to this blog so that I can estimate the number of participants.
Rubbish: Please bring back the plastic rubbish with you. Food leftovers may be disposed of here.
The bus leaves from Takamatsu Station and goes past Kawaramachi Station. Return bus fare is about 1400 yen.
Get off at the final stop at Aji Onsen 庵治温泉. From Aji Onsen, it is about a 30-minute-2 kilometer walk to the party location.
(2) Bicycle: Takes about one hour and thirty minutes one way to cycle from the city center. At Aji, the road slopes up and down, so you need good brakes. Please make sure that you do not get involved in an accident if you choose to cycle. Take the bus if you do not have confidence in bicycling.
(3) Car: There is limited parking place. There is a place nearby which can take perhaps 3 or 4 cars.
Insurance: I hope it will not happen, but in the case of any accidents happening while on the road or in the party location, the individuals concerned are expected to use their own insurance policies to settle the incidents. In other words, all participants are responsible for their own safety.

A new housing development in Bearsden offering unrivalled levels of quality, choice and comfort for older buyers has opened its stunning show homes to the public.
The properties are designed to specifically meet the needs of older people and have been built to an uncompromising standard for Bield, one of Scotland’s leading providers of affordable housing for older people.
High levels of demand for the flexible living offered at Bield developments has seen buyers snap up the properties off-plan and there are now only six remaining.
The development is being marketed by Corum Property and the public will be given the chance to see how the apartments can be designed and furnished as the show homes are now open.
James Lang, Partner at Corum Property, said: “Interest has been intensifying on the last remaining properties, particularly from the local area.
“There are a number of people waiting to see examples of how the apartments can be designed and furnished and we believe interest will increase even further after people have be given a taster of the properties.
Susan Jackson, New Homes Sales and Marketing Manager at Bield, is overwhelmed at the response St Andrew’s View has received, believing it highlights the quality of the build and the desirability of the St Andrew’s View concept.
Susan said: “We think the development is a great showcase of everything Bield commits to achieve with its homes – quality, choice and comfort.
“We wanted to build a development tailored for older people that is indistinguishable from any other new build property on the market, therefore we are absolutely thrilled there has been such a great response.
The apartments are available on a highly affordable shared ownership basis, which has become an increasingly popular purchase arrangement in the market.

As enough pieces have fallen into place to make actual predictions, (and the quarry’s spoor noticed), I decided to perform more deliberate experiments to see if I could capture more henchmen of the mastermind. I did.
I’ll start to provide puzzle pieces I’ve discovered here regularly, so you can help with the conviction of the criminal and repair of the damage they have caused. Today’s simple experiments only involve your router’s switch. We’ll do some experiments on the wireless side of the router next.
Conclusion: something stinks in operating system’s network stacks. Linux is often worst, with two different but related problems, followed by Mac OSX; Microsoft Windows manages to obfuscate much of it’s problems, but also demonstrably suffers. After mitigation, Linux may be able to perform much better than either.
If your home router has a gigabit switch (a few do, these days), you’ll want to find a 100 meg switch to perform this experiment with. You may be able to achieve the same effect using “ethtool” and setting your ethernet link speed to 100Mbps. I presume your machines all have gigabit network interfaces; most have for a while.
Hook up your laptop directly to the switch’s ethernet port. Hook a second machine up to a second port to act as your server. In case one or the other of your computers is wimpy, let’s use nttcp for our testing. The point here is to transfer data over the link as fast as you can.
Install “nttcp“. Run “nttcp -i” on the machine you designate as your server.
Run “nttcp -t -D -n2048000 server & ping-n server” on your laptop.
What do you observe after, say, 20 seconds? Is this what you would expect, given that a packet of 1500 bytes takes only .13 milliseconds to pass through a 100Mbps switch?
Issue the command “ifconfig eth0“; look at the txqueuelen value. On my laptop, it is set by Linux to 1000.
Is the latency constant, or variable, as you manipulate the txqueuelen parameter?
Set the txqueuelen parameter to half of its initial size (e.g. “ifconfig eth0 txqueuelen 500“. What happens to the observed latency?
What do you observe? How does it differ from Experiment 1a?
Try playing with different values of txqueuelen while continuing to observe the ping latency. On most current hardware, you can set the txqueuelen to zero; on some older hardware, you may have problems if you do so.
Install the command “ethtool” if you don’t have it installed.
Set the txqueuelen to the minimum operating value (0 on my laptop) for this experiment.
Execute the command “ethtool -g” and note the current hardware settings for your ethernet interface. Note that not all device drivers support this interface. On my laptop, the ring size is 256 by default.
Run “nttcp -t -D -n2048000 server & ping -n server” on your laptop. What do you observe? Why?
Try playing with different values for the ring parameters (e.g. “ethtool -G eth0 tx 64” , and observe the ping latency. Your hardware will probably have some limit minimum ring size that you cannot go below. On my laptop, this is 64 entries.
Is the latency constant, or variable? Why?
Note that you can perform similar experiments on Mac OSX and Windows, both of which behave much better than Linux “out of the box” (though Linux is better than OSX once the transmit queue is truncated). Note that the details of the hardware matter here: you should use the same hardware, or hardware using the same ethernet chip if possible.
For extra credit, explain why Windows default behavior is so much better than either Linux or OSX on 100Mbps Ethernet. (Hint: try setting the transmit speed on the Windows machine to 10Mbps; and search Windows technical notes about multimedia playing). Do you now believe Microsoft’s explanations? Or is there a different explanation given these experiments that makes more sense?
This entry was posted on November 29, 2010 at 2:26 pm and is filed under Bufferbloat, Networking, Puzzle. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
For those of us that don’t have the equipment or an hour to blow, perhaps you could just tell us the point of the exercise?
I don’t think you’d like the results I get from Linux by default.
For Mac OSX, the observed behavior is 11ms, slightly worse than the best performance I can get by tuning Linux.
For Windows, you see times that are 1ms or less. As to why, I don’t want to spoil all the fun here, quite yet: more over the next few days.
ifup_eth0="ip link set \$int txqueuelen 0"
I’m doing all the test in my work network lab, after reading all yours post [i was previously very interested on network throughput and latency cause i’m working in a wireless 802.11 testing enviroment].
About the tests that you post here, my result are the same of yours (i’m now preparing an spreadsheet with all the tests and the results to share with you and the readers of your blog), but i’ve got a question about txqueuelen, net.core.netdev_max_backlog and the queue ring of the controller.
I was searching and digging a bit about the meaning of those values, and i found that many researcher simply recommend to INCREASE those values to obtain best performace speaking about gigabit networks.
I plan to blog about this. Most of the HOWTO’s I came across on the web were 1) obsolete, and probably don’t apply very much to current systems, 2) were going to be wrong for most people in the world, 3) were written for super computer people, who have fat pipes over long delays.
There is no right answer, I believe. We have to manage queues, and make this all work so that good performance doesn’t require everyone to become tuning experts (if indeed they can tune even a fish); and in the meanwhile, it would be nice if the only people who had to tune were the people with the fat pipe long delay problem that so few people actually have.

Silverton Dumpster Rental to Get Excited About!
Dumpster Rental Prices in Silverton - A Quick Guide.
Rent a 10, 20, 30, or 40 yard dumpster in Silverton, OR Today!
We service all of Silverton. Give us a call today to get the dumpster rental process started!
If you want to rent a dumpster in Silverton, you'll find that costs vary significantly from state to state and city to city. One means to get genuine quotes for the service you need is to phone a local dumpster firm and ask regarding their costs. You can even request a quote online on some sites. These sites may also comprise complete online service that is constantly open. On these sites, you can choose, schedule and cover your service whenever it is convenient for you.
Factors which affect the cost of the container comprise landfill fees (higher in certain areas than others) and the size of the container you opt for. You have to also consider transportation costs and the kind of debris you'll be setting into your container.
Price quotes for dumpster rental in Silverton typically comprise the following: the size of the container, the kind of debris involved, the base cost for the dumpster, how much weight is included in the quote, a given rental period and delivery and pickup fees.
One of the biggest concerns you likely have when renting a dumpster in Silverton is how much it will cost. Among the most effective methods to negate this fear is to have precise information. When you call to get a price quote, have recommended of just how much waste you will have to eliminate so you can get the most effective recommendation on dumpster size. In case you are unsure on the total amount of waste, renting a size larger will save you the extra expense of renting a second dumpster if the first proves overly small.
Provide any information you think is important to make sure you don't end up paying for services that you don't really need. More than a few companies charge by the container size, while others charge by weight. Be sure you understand which is which so you've a clear quote. Also ensure that you ask whether the quote you receive comprises landfill fees; this is going to keep you from being surprised by an additional fee after.
Most cities or municipalities do not have many regulations regarding dumpster rental in Silverton as long as you keep the dumpster completely on your own property during the rental period. In case you must position your container on the road in any way, you will likely have to obtain a license from the right building permit office in your town.
Most dumpster rental businesses in Silverton will take care of securing this license for you if you rent from them. Be sure that in the event that you're planning to place the dumpster on the road, the business has made the proper arrangements. You must also make sure that you get the license in a timely manner and at the correct cost. In the event you believed the dumpster company was getting a license and they did not, you will be the one who will need to pay the fine that's issued by the authorities.
Trash removal vs dumpster rental in Silverton - Which is good for you?
For those who have a job you are going to undertake at home, you may be wondering if it's better to hire someone to come haul off all your garbage and rubbish for you, or in case you should just rent a dumpster in Silverton and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better alternative in case you prefer the flexibility to load it on your own time and you don't mind doing it yourself to save on labour. Dumpsters also work nicely in case you've at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Roll-offs generally begin at 10 cubic yards, thus should you only have 3-4 yards of waste, you are paying for a lot more dumpster than you need.
Trash or rubbish removal makes more sense should you prefer somebody else to load your old stuff. In addition, it works nicely should you prefer it to be taken away quickly so it's outside of your own hair or in case you only have a few large things; this is probably cheaper than renting an entire dumpster.
What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in Silverton?
Residential clean outs typically do not demand large dumpsters. The size that you need, though, will be contingent on the size of the project.
When selecting a dumpster, though, it's frequently wise to ask for a size larger than what you think you'll need. Unless you are a professional, it's tough to gauge the precise size needed for your job. By getting a somewhat larger size, you spend a bit more money, but you also avoid the possibility you will run out of room. Renting a larger dumpster is almost always cheaper than renting two small ones.

How can I donate to PMR?
No. Portland Mountain Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all volunteer organization. We receive no direct funding from government agencies.
No. As a non-profit, all volunteer organization, PMR does not charge for its services.
Many search and rescue groups participating in the missions, including PMR, are volunteer and self-funded, so they do not charge for their services. In most cases, only government agencies and contracted participants, such as the attending Sheriff’s Office or an ambulance company, contribute to taxpayer costs. The charges involved are actually quite similar to search and rescue activities conducted away from the mountains.
It is important to note that the costs can be theoretically higher if victims are charged for their rescue. The Mountain Rescue Association has developed a position statement against charging for rescues. Click here to view the statement on the MRA website.
Generally, Portland Mountain Rescue is mobilized for SAR missions on high angle rock and snow and hazardous terrain – often in inclement weather. For more information, please see our What Is PMR? section.
Our Unit responds to missions for much of the popular climbing areas on Oregon’s Mount Hood. We are also called out to help on other Oregon and Washington mountains, such as Mount Adams, Broken Top, the Coast Range and the Three Sisters. Out Unit also responds to technical high angle SAR missions and, occasionally, to less technical SAR missions away from mountainous areas. For more information, please see our What Is PMR? section.
PMR is called out by the Sheriff’s Office in the County where the rescue is taking place. Individuals requiring rescue should call 911. The 911 dispatcher will route the call to the local Sheriff who will mobilize the appropriate SAR units. For more information, please see our What Is PMR? section.
Though helicopters (military, civilian or otherwise) may be used when patients are critically injured, the decision to use them is not up to PMR. Our on-scene rescuers may suggest that a patient needs air evacuation, but the ultimate decision rests with Oregon Emergency Management, the attending Sheriff’s Office SAR Coordinator, as well as the administrating body for the helicopter unit.
Using helicopters in mountainous terrain is inherently risky, so they are only dispatched in true life-and-death situations. Since weather and other conditions can prevent helicopters from participating in rescue missions, air evacuations are not always possible. In these situations, ground-based rescuers, such as PMR, may be the only resources able to conduct the rescue mission.
Climbers in the Pacific Northwest are not required to be licensed or insured before they climb. However, on Mount Hood, they must complete a USDA Forest Service Wilderness Permit and carry a copy with them on their trek. Along with this permit, climbers are requested – and strongly encouraged – to complete a climbers’ registration form, providing essential information about the party if rescue is needed. Other Pacific Northwest mountains have different registration methods, but most require a permit of some type.
There are several government organizations that have jurisdiction on Mount Hood. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office (South & West sides) and Hood River Sheriff’s Office (North & East sides) are the state law enforcement agencies for their respective portions of the mountain. The USDA Forest Service creates the rules and regulations for the entire mountain, as the mountain is part of the Mount Hood National Forest.
PMR does not create or enforce rules and regulations. Our role is to provide SAR services, to the extent we have available volunteer members, when the appropriate government authorities request our help. PMR does assist the USDA Forest Service in educating climbers about Leave No Trace and other wilderness issues, as well as informing unprepared or inexperienced climbers how to seek professional instruction on safe climbing techniques.
possible risks on the mountain that day.
PMR’s mission is “Savings lives through rescue and education,” so public education is a very important function of our Unit. Examples of our activities include informational lectures and slide shows on avalanche, backcountry and mountain safety. For more information, please see our What Is PMR? section.
While our membership numbers can vary from time to time, PMR usually has about 100 volunteers. About two-thirds of these members are considered “field deployable” and can enter the field on search and rescue missions. The remaining membership contributes to the support and administrative functions of the organization.
Yes, most of our members work regular jobs like everyone else. We have a very diverse group of volunteers,including business people, firefighters, health care workers, teachers, mountaineering guides and even one U.S.National Park Service Ranger. The common threads between our team is our deep love for the outdoors and mountaineering, as well our desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
No, we do not hire our rescuers. PMR is a completely volunteer organization and none of our members are reimbursed for their services. We admit new volunteers and conduct a two-year “training academy” for field deployable personnel. Please see our How to Get Involved and Application Process sections for more information.
Though we are a volunteer organization, not every Trainee Applicant is qualified for membership in PMR. Mountain rescuers require technical mountaineering skills, great stamina and calmness under pressure, among other qualities. They also must own their own climbing gear, as PMR does not provide this basic equipment. For the full details on membership requirements, please see the How to Get Involved section of this website.
Comments such as these are very subjective and are up to the individual person. In mountaineering, what is dangerous to one person may be relatively safe for another person with the proper training and knowledge. PMR does not place judgment on the mountaineering community, but we stand ready to help if accidents happen – regardless of how they may have occurred.
This is something we are frequently asked – in this rather judgmental manner. The fact of the matter is that many of the people we rescue are generally good people who simply made a mistake. If you ask most active outdoor enthusiasts, they can probably list one or two incidents where they made a mistake, were lucky, and learned from their experience. For those who make an error and are not so lucky, PMR is there to help.
This being said, we are occasionally requested to rescue individuals who repeatedly display poor judgment and get themselves into difficult situations in mountainous terrain. Even for these people, PMR stands ready to help.
In all cases, the Rescue Leader on the scene must determine if the mission can be conducted without risking harm to the rescuers themselves.
The PMR and MRA logos are trademarks and are not sold or distributed to the general public.
Servicemark of our organization and unauthorized use of this logo will meet a vigorous legal challenge.
Generally, all websites interested in PMR’s search and rescue functions may feel free to link to our site. However, if a commercial or non-reputable website is found using a link to our site in an inappropriate manner, PMR reserves the right to have that link removed from the website in question. Please contact the Webmaster for more information.
Since PMR does not teach climbing, we council nascent mountaineers to enroll in basic mountaineering courses through local climbing clubs or other reputable organizations. In the Portland area, groups that teach mountaineering include: The Mazamas climbing club, Timberline Mountain Guides and Portland Parks and Recreation.
I’m planning a climbing trip to Mount Hood. Where can I learn more about the mountain?
There are many resources for learning more about mountaineering on Mount Hood or the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. One site of note is the USDA Forest Service’s web page on Climbing Mount Hood. For other interesting websites, please see our Links section.
As a non-profit organization, we welcome tax deductible donations from the general public. For information on helping toward our mission, or to make a tax-deductible contribution, please see the How To Contribute page on this website.

There was a wide-spread saying in the past: "There is no city without a fortress." So it is obvious now why the ancient people associated the conception of a city with fortresses. Since the defense of any ancient city, its influence, economic status, as well as its organization of public services and amenities were determined by its fortress, both in Azerbaijan and in Middle Asia, the concepts "fortress" and "city" often signified the same notion. Firm walls, high turrets, huge towers were not only the means of security, they symbolized a dignity and splendor.
The first information about cities located on the territory of Azerbaijan dates from the 1st millennium B.C., the period of Manna and Mydia states. The history of cities neighboring Urmiyah has been studied mostly from Assyrian and Urartuan sources. The ancient settlements in the 1st millennium B.C. were built by the group principle, and in the head of all those groups dominated the city fortresses, which embodied the defense system. As we see in the ancient manuscripts, the defense system of the cities consisted of firm walls and turrets, and was surrounded by deep moats and steep earthen obstacles. The Assyrian armies, the strongest armies of that period of times, seized these city fortresses with great efforts, and often even could not manage with them because of a thought-out I defense and a fortification system.
Recognition of authenticity of the inscriptions of Assyrian reliefs dates back to the end of the 8th century B.C., giving a vivid idea of the architecture peculiarities of Manna and Mydia fortresses. These fortresses were often built in highlands area and on the banks of rivers, and consisted of two parts - inner fortress and outside city.
The composition and colors of the walls of the ancient Hamadan Fortress give us a valuable information on the socio-hierarchical structure and cosmogonic views of Mydian society. The palace of a ruler and treasury, painted gold, were located on the top of a hill. Below them the surrounding walls gave a form of the crown to whole composition.
The majority of cities of Manna and Mydia (Khainadan - a capital of Mydia, Khasanly - city discovered by archaeologists) were built in the form of a circle, corresponding to the shape of hill. In general, the ring-shaped cities are considered to be the first models of city-building art. Ring-shaped cities of Azerbaijan known as far back as the Shumerian period, had their own traditions of construction.
Since defense potential of the first cities was the main goal of their constructors, they erected fortress walls at the most impassable places for the enemy on the tops of steep mountains and hills. This accounted for the circular or oblong shape of city fortresses. Besides, according to religious, philosophic and cosmogonic views, a circular form of a shelter was thought to be the magical model of the Universe and of divine order. In addition, the circular form of fortress walls had certain advantages, owing to its ability to fortify and economize on the building materials. The most perfect specimen of such a city fortress was the city Shyz, called "Gendjak" in the pre-Islamic period.
The remains of Shyz are located in the Afshar region, Southern Azerbaijan. The city, built in the form of an ellipsis, is enclosed by solid stone walls (5 meters thick X 15 meters high, 1200 meters in circumference). Another inner wall (10 X 8 meters high) built of raw brick joins the outside walls. Thus, a total thickness of the outside fortress walls is 15 meters. Shyz represents a unique phenomenon of military architecture of Azerbaijan. An unusual stability of the Shyz fortress was connected with the special status it held. This city was an official religious center and a treasury of two great empires of pre-Islamic period of Front Asia: Parphyan (3rd-8th B.C.) and Sassanid empires (3rd-7th B.C.).
As a result of archaeological excavations and historical discoveries, a few specimens of ancient cities were found constructed as square-shaped fortresses.
Gendjak (Shyz) used to be the summer capital in Azerbaijan, while Ardebil was its winter capital. In the early period of Islam dissemination in Azerbaijan, the Ardebil Fortress was square-shaped and its sides extended to two thirds of pharsakh (approximately 4-5 km.). An armed camp and a residence for the ruler were inside the "impregnable fortress." The fortress was enclosed by a wall with four gates.
According to written descriptions, a fortress of the city Barda known as "Mother of Aran" (i.e., Azerbaijan) was similar in shape to the Ardebil fortress, though more spacious than the latter. Istakhri (the 10th century) wrote: "As to Barda, this city is very large, it is more than one pharsakh wide, and as much long."
Both Ardebil and Barda were located in the plain. This factor accounts for the fortress walls which formed a square. The construction of other fortresses of large Aran cities, as well as the remains of the defenses of the city of Beylagan are the most conclusive proof of this fact. The difference between the sides of Beylagan fortress which date back to the early Middle Ages is not very large (from 610 to 596 meters).
According to ancient belief, a static square was thought to be the most stable measure against foreign forces coming from all sides. This geometric arrangement, peculiar to ancient cities, found its further development in construction of four fortress gates.
The remains of ancient fortress in the city, having changed its name more than once but perpetuated in memory of people as Ganja, occupies a large area on the bank of the Ganja River. The oldest parts of the Ganja Fortress included twin fortresses built in a form of rectangle along the banks of the river. Similar to Beylagan Fortress, the corners of Ganja Fortress looked towards the main sides of the world.
In the middle of the 10th century Ibn Hovgal wrote: "Barda is the mother of the cities, and is the best of all." Afterwards, in the 13th century Yagut Hamavi noted that "Ganja is the largest city of Aran, and it is the capital." Apparently, after the 10th century the socio-political importance of Barda decreased, and Ganja turned into the main city of Aran, keeping its influence in the region till today. Those times Ganja often was called as the "great and wonderful city" with "full treasure" and "intelligent people."
The grandeur and state importance of Ganja have found its embodiment in the firm fortress and strong defensive system. Abdurrashid Bakuvi noted Ganja first of all as "the most fortified city of Aran." The ancient city-builders of Azerbaijan worked out a well thought-out system of defense - every fortress was surrounded by deep moats on both banks of the river; and special mechanisms were organized to fill the moats with water from the Ganja River.
The descriptions of four Azerbaijan cities (Tabriz, Sultaniya, Khoy and Hamadan) made by the painter and poet Nasukh Matrakchi, a palace architecture, a participant of the military campaign headed by Suleyman Ganuni (1537), a Turkish Sultan, are very valuable from the viewpoint of studying early constructions of city fortresses of Azerbaijan.
Though in some cases ancient Azerbaijan city-builders used rectangular forms in building city fortresses which were located in the highlands, a steep relief peculiar to that area in a great extent complicated the shape of these, forms. Concerning the question of defining a circumference of fortress walls, the Gabala fortress is very characteristic sample of this.
Gabala is one of the monumental city fortresses of Azerbaijan. Being a political and religious center of Caucasian Albania, on the eve of Islam, it became one of the central cities of Khazar tribes; therefore, Arabs called Gabala, "Khazar city." Like Ganja and Hamadan, Gabala also consists of two parts: Gala and Selbir. Gala had 10 towers, and Selbir - 17 ones. For the weak natural potentials of the fortress its walls and towers were built more firmly. The natural growth of the city outside the fortress walls made it necessary to build the second fortress in Gabala.
In the middle of the Middle Ages, the security of Gabala Fortress aroused people's admiration. In 1386, Tamerlane set up his armed camp there; Shirvanshah Farrukh Yassar chose it as his shelter before his final historic battle with Shah Ismayil. A long and stormy life of Gabala Fortress lasted until the end of the eighth century.
In the Middle Ages, city fortresses with complicated construction were mostly widespread. Shamakhy Fortress was one of them. The basic period of its main construction goes back to the period of Shirvanshahs' state in the ninth century. According to written documents, Shirvanshah Gubad (1043-1049) had a fortress wall with iron doors built in Shamakhy.
Shamakhy Fortress included an inner fortress called Bala Gala or Icheri Gala and the "outside fortress" with fortress walls enclosing it from outside. Inside Bala gala there was the complex of Shirvanshahs' palace. During 1970-72 the archaeologists had found only small fragments of firm fortress walls. The accuracy in coating of the fortress walls shows the capital status and cultural development of Shamakhy.
The peculiarities of construction and architecture of the Shirvan city fortresses can be traced in Derbent and Baku fortresses. The age of Baku, like the age of the most of the ancient cities of Azerbaijan is not known exactly. The researchers consider Baku to be one of the cities which Ptolemy noted in the ancient Albany cities list. According to one of the inscriptions, Baku was said to be founded in the period of reign of Manuchehr Shirvanshah III, but there is no doubt that Baku had had more ancient defensive works even before that period.
Baku Fortress - at present Icheri Shekher (the Inner City) - was surrounded with single walls along the seacoast and with double walls in all other places. The walls, in turn, were enclosed from outside by deep, wide moats. In fact, today's Icheri Shekher is an inner town of medieval Baku. Similar to Derbent Fortress, the outside walls of Baku Fortress reached the sea, stretched for 30 meters and formed an artificial gulf. That's why ships could cast anchor in Baku harbor near the fortress walls. As Abdurrashid Bakuvi wrote: "Now the seawater washes the walls of Baku. The sea had flooded some fortress turrets and is very close to a mosque. The city has two very firm and strong fortresses. The sea got too close to the biggest of the fortresses. That very fortress was inaccessible for Tatars."
Ovliya Chelebi in his description indicates that while his visit to Baku in 1656, the inner fortress located outside the city fortress.
Later, in the 18th century I.Lerkh, the German traveller and physician, who was a witness of Russian siege of Baku in 1723, testified that some elements of the fortress and towers were changed, and modernized in accordance with the new military tactics and techniques (rifles and cannons).
The construction of the fortress walls - very high on the outside and rather low inside - as well as the building of underground roads and passages show that, while building, ancient masters of Baku used the peculiarities of local relief and rocks very effectively. All these factors improved the field conditions and security of fortress defenders and gave an opportunity for the saving building materials and labour.
In the end of the 19th century near the northern gate of Baku Fortress there was built one more gate looking exactly like the first one. Now we call them Gosha Gala Gapysy (the Twin Gates). These gatef differ from all other gates in Azerbaijan architecture by their high plastic arts and fabulous ornaments.
Maiden Tower of Baku is one of the most magnificent and enigmatic monuments of Baku and the Absheron Peninsula. The historical and architectural problems of this unique monument are yet to be solved. In the history of architecture there is no other monument which compares to the Maiden Tower from the viewpoint of defining time limits of its protracted construction. Thus, some claim that it dates back to the beginning of Shumerian period, while others try to prove that it was constructed in the twelfth century. It is still not understood what its function was; whethier, for example, it was an Absheron variant of a ziggurat a temple for fire worshippers, a tower of silence; A watch-tower, an observatory, or a passive defensive work.
Maiden Tower has peculiar features of a fortress intended for a long-term defense; such as 1) thick construction of walls (5 meters below, 4 meters above); 2) ability to impede an attack on its tower; 3) a staircase between the ground and the first floors was not built; on the second floor inside the wall there was a water well. Above all, Maiden Tower due to its spatial construction, is similar to Absheron castles with their circular towers, yet differs from them because of its height and multi-stories.
For the present, it is difficult to define exactly the initial reason for its construction and its function. However, the fact that since the twelfth century Maiden Tower had been included in the defensive system of Baku and thought to be a main tower among the most solid fortresses of the Shirvanshahs is beyond doubt.
Shusha was one of the most impregnable fortress cities which was developed in the period of Khanates. In 1753, Panakhali Khan of Garabagh erected a castle and fortress walls on the highest summit of the mountain and thought that even the most powerful enemy would not be able to conquer his capital, Panakhabad - future Shusha. However, half of the century had not passed when this fortress city, just like most of other khanates, fell into alien hands.
The location of Shusha Fortress was ideal for a powerful city fortress. Military specialists, travellers and historians often admitted the ruling location over the wide territory, a great quantity of water springs and building materials, which strengthened defensive opportunities and invulnerability of the fortress. Despite of easiness of defense and small forces necessary for its defense, in 1797 Shusha Fortress could not stand the attacks of Aga Mohammed Shah Gajar's army. Few years later Shusha Fortress was turned into the defensive point of the Russian Empire. More later, in 1822, after the Czar's abolition of Garabagh Khanate, Shusha Fortress lost its main function.
In contrast to the Shusha Fortress, a defensive potential of Sheki Fortress located between the mountains on a beautiful valley was very weak. In 1772, Sheki was swept away by a flood of the Kysh river. Afterwards, the city moved to a safer place, closer to the mountains. The fortress which has remained to our times used to be an inner fortress of the city. It is situated at the highest spot of Sheki and is known by the name of "a city clinging to the mountains".
The fortresses of other large cities in Azerbaijan, especially those of the centers of Khanates (Tabriz, Ardebil, Ganja, Nakhichevan, Khoy, Khamadan, Merend, Ordubad, etc.) dating back from the seventeenth to the 'nineteenth centuries are known from archive documents. As is evident from plans of these cities, these fortresses were very compact in construction, and much smaller in size, especially in comparison with large city fortresses of the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries. On the one hand, such a regression was the result of political separation, economic stagnation of Azerbaijan and of all the Muslim Orient, and a consequence of the general decline of the art of city-building as well. On the other hand, fortresses had lost their historical function and expediency.
A certain consistency in the design of city fortresses of Azerbaijan, dating back to ancient times and the Middle Ages, becomes obvious. It was based on the principle of dividing defenses into an inner fortress and another fortress used in a closed defensive system of cities since times of Manna and Mydia was preserved until the period of the Khanates. This accounts for a slight change in the construction of firearms and the unalterability of siege tactics. Changes in a social system and a diverse development of the society affected the physical size, content and architectural scheme of spatial planning of the inner fortresses and fortress cities, leading to their renovation.
A prominent cosmographer and geographer of Azerbaijan, Zakaria Gazvini (1203-1283) depicted a model of medieval city in the form of five òöåã circumferences meeting in a single center. As is obvious from this model, an inner fortress was at the core of the developed defensive system of the medieval city, and consisted of two rows of closed fortress walls.
Both the inner fortress and the city fortress were enclosed from outside by deep, wide moats. When these moats were filled with water, it strengthened the defense of the fortress greatly.
The inner fortress, taking a primary position in the planning was usually erected at the highest spot of city or, in some cases, on artificial hills. Thus, the volumetric and spatial construction of the defensive system of the city created an appropriate compositional development, i.e., an elevation was clearly seen in the distance, which looked towards the inner fortress.

Our Bridge Inspection teams have inspected over 2,000 structures owned by NCDOT and municipal-maintained bridges and culverts. Tasks include the routine inspection, documentation of findings, repair recommendations, WIGINS reports, load ratings and load posting recommendations. One such project was the inspection of Dare County Bridge #9, William B. Umstead Memorial Bridge, carrying US Highway 64 over the Croatan Sound in Manteo, North Carolina. This project required the use of a snooper truck for the 2.7-mile long structure. Image shows elevation view of US 64 over Croatan Sound in Manteo, North Carolina.

This was one of the biggest festivals in India.
We'll wear all new traditional Indian clothes, I cooked our traditional food, Guests, firecrackers, it's awesome.
I miss my family though.
In India we used to celebrate all together, my grandparents, uncles n aunts, my cousins. I miss them.
Tru: good to hear from you.
Nothing much here... listening to dh do a Elton John cover. On vacation for next 8 days How are you?
MK1973, 8 days vacation sounds good.
I'm good. I'm writing an exam on 21st, so a Lil caught up in that.
Thank u so much MK.
American exam system is very new to me. So hopefully I do well.
Af just got me and I'm on cd 1, but doing fantastic otherwise. How are you?
@mk1973, busy studying. REALLY scared of my exam.
Breath....fx that you do well on your exam!
@mk, thank u. Hey I'm sorry abt ur af, I thought I'll not talk abt it, coz no matter how sweet I can b u'll get hurt reading it. But den I felt like u said something n I din care abt it. So I'm writing this in a confused state of mind. I wanna say I understand how u r feeling, n also don wanna make u feel bad too. TAKE care.
Tru: Thanks for your sympathy. Actually af hasn't gone so badly for me this time around. I'm not overly sensitive about af bc I take a sort of Zen approach to everything. I also have tons of faith inside me that it will happen... the longer the wait, the less I'll take my child for granted. Don't be afraid to talk. I've been wanting a baby so long that I'll feel shocked when it happens, even though I know in myself this miracle is mine f the taking.
@MK, u r really strong. I don knw wen will I start doing that. There are a lot family tensions, wid all that Im starting to feel like me being sensitive is a big problem. If I'm feeling bad wen some1 comments on me, ppl say I make a hill out of the mole. I can't help it, it's d way I'm, I'm sensitive n sometimes ur words hurt me. I don't know y ppl are torturing me. I'm so fed up, wanna runaway.
I understand...I think it must be going around. My father has been antagonistic toward my dh and the sh*t fan and we had to move out. My dad physically pushed me into a wall and broke the necklace that symbolized my mom, just trying to get at my husband. He knows we are trying for a child. I don't think he believes that miracle will happen for me bc of a shot my mom had while pregnant with me which is linked to infertility and cancer. It is kind of hard knowing my father isn't pulling for me and doesn't believe Christ will work this miracle in my life., but that just means I have to have more faith, oh and stay away from my father's anger and negativity. Too bad, really, bc I was once a daddies girl, now I suppose that part of me will have to grow up, as well.

Believe it or not my husband and I fought over whom we wanted to hire to photograph our wedding.We saved 15 photographers profile pages, at the end we narrow it down to 5 but we had to choose the “1”. We wanted someone not too old fashion but young and creative, who can shoot our wedding the way we like so we both decided to go with RealDepthOfField Weddings. Our style was Traditional with a touch of Fashion”i don’t know how models do it” but it was fun.The photos looked Amazing. We can’t believe that we pulled it off.What an amazing team They really make you feel good about everything it felt as if they were part of the family.We give them two thumbs up.
My sister (the bride) and I loved their work. Merline knew exactly how to pose us, god we needed help in that field. They were very patient and extremely pleasant to work with. The photos were amazing my sister and I couldn’t have ask for more. We search a whole lot for a photographer that could match our personalities and understand us and RealDepthOfField was it. We seriously love them.I would Definitely Recommend them to anyone looking to get great professional quality work.
RealDepthoffield was an amazing photography service to work with. My pictures looked incredible and truly stunning! Their attention to detail is sure to capture every moment of your important day. I was very pleased with their level of professionalism and reliability. Claudio is a committed photographer and you will have no worries. He is a creative -perfectionist who knows how to work with his surroundings to create the absolute perfect shot. As a plus, you won’t have to wait around for weeks or months to see your pictures, as they are available and accessible in a very reasonable amount of time. Realdepthoffield’s wonderful service surpassed all expectations.
Claudio, Merline and their team were great! I really felt I received a high lever of value for the money spent! What most impressed me was the availability of pictures so soon after we were married to view on their website. The finished product was also something to be mentioned. The keepsake box that the electronic copy of the photos was provided in was too cute with colors that coordinated with our wedding colors (we even store our wedding DVD IN THE BOX). I loved the magnetic mini phot book that we received as a bonus! Our guest were also wowed by the photo booth at the wedding which took place durring the cocktail hour. Our guest were allowed to take home those pictures in a frame and the pictures also has a keepsake print included to help them remember the event and date! Claudio & Merline knew how to capture the moments but at the same time not be intrusive or get in the way of guest, and I must command them for the level of professionalism they maintained when faced with a bit of unprofessionalism from our videographers. I would certainly not think twice about hiring them again! Thanks Guys!

In The Figure 8 System, memorization occurs in 3 ways. First we memorize the Scriptures by meditating on each passage throughout the day, and by this we gain a thorough understanding of text. Second, people who use The Figure 8 System memorize Scripture by knowing the context of each chapter or book. Memorizing chapters within their context helps us grab the meaning and flow of what’s written. Finally, we memorize Scripture by learning how the verses look in relation to each other on the printed memory sheets. To help you accomplish these three aspects of Scripture memory, each printable Scripture Memory Sheet includes a list of Starter Phrases on the back.
A starter phrase consists of the first three or four words of a verse.
Within the starter phrase concept, there are two kinds of memory markers – Primary Markers and Secondary Markers. Primary markers include multiples of eight (1, 8, 16, 24, and 32) and secondary markers include each reference in between (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, etc). When recalling recall a specific verse, these markers will be your guide and allow you to be no more than 4 verses away from recalling a specific Scripture reference. For instance, if you need to recall Philippians 4:19, beginning with the closest primary marker, you should think to yourself, “I know that 4:16 is ‘for even’.”Then, you will be able to work your way through the secondary markers from 16 to 19; “and my God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Once you recall the verse’s starter phrase, the rest of the verse will flow naturally from your memory. Since they are so important, the starter phrases for each chapter should be reviewed as a regular part of your memory work. You can print your own Scripture Memory Schedules and Scripture Memory Sheets w/Starter Phrases.
Now let’s move on to the third principle, Disciplined Study.

Medical romance is in the air with Sam Archer's lovely romance, Questions of Trust.
I found the book to be a quick and easy read and perfect for a lazy weekend. Enjoy!
Chloe Edwards is a London journalist, with a baby son, and a shattered marriage. She moves to the Cotswold Hills in Gloucestershire, England and meets Dr Tom Carlyle, the local family doctor. He's everything she'd want in a new man - but she can't trust him. He's a doctor - and it was a doctor who was responsible for the death of her husband.
Dr Tom Carlyle has problems of his own. His ex-wife is making trouble and threatens to take their child away from him of whom Tom has custody.
An attraction springs up between Chloe and Tom, at the same time as frightening events occur.
I enjoyed this an easy to read - romantic novel, which is thrilling in parts and bitter-sweet in others. Well written with a minimum of grammatical mistakes. Recommended for those among us who love a good romance.

Biomaterials - At the Paris, France Cosmetagora show at Stand #57, NuSil Technology will showcase its high-purity CareSil silicones for enhancing sensory appeal, diffusing light, and delivering actives — among other benefits — in breakthrough skin care products. NuSil believes that skin care is a facet more of healthcare than of cosmetics, and with this conviction as inspiration created the CareSil brand, which offers the most pristine silicone elastomer gels, fluids and gum blends available to the industry.
CareSil inherits rich silicone expertise, personalized customer service, and extensive regulatory experience from NuSil’s worldwide legacy as a leading manufacturer of implantable silicones. This means the brand provides medical-quality ingredients for next-generation moisturization, anti-aging, sun care, skin repair, and anti-wrinkle formulations. What sets CareSil silicones apart the most in skin care is NuSil’s unrivaled purification process, which removes unwanted volatiles and significantly increases reliability for predictable, high-quality performance. CareSil silicones are processed and supported with the same care the company takes with its medical silicones.
Stand #57 at Cosmetagora will be staffed by NuSil’s technical team from Sophia Antipolis, France. Cosmetagora, to be held in 2014 January 14-15 at the Espace Champerret in Paris, is an international event initiated by the French Society of Cosmetology for the advancement and sharing of new technologies and raw materials for skin care.

To: NY City Council’s Committee on Rules, Privileges and Elections.
Subject: For a modern 21st Century City, NY Council needs modern and inexpensive member services and tools constituent services.
Good afternoon. It is a great honor to address you and represent New York City’s technology community. Particularly, a rather active group of technologists – the civic hacker.
I am Noel Hidalgo, the Executive Director and co-founded of BetaNYC. With over 1,500 members, BetaNYC’s mission is to build a city powered by the people, for the people, for the 21st Century. Last fall, we published a “People’s Roadmap to a Digital New York City” where we outline our civic technology values and 30 policy ideas for a progressive digital city . We are a member driven organization and members of the New York City Transparency Working Group, a coalition of good government groups that supported the City’s transformative Open Data Law.
In 2008, BetaNYC got its start by building a small app on top of twitter. This tool, Twitter Vote Report, was built over the course of several, then, developer days, now, hacknights, and enabled over 11,300 individuals to use a digital and social tool to provide election projection.
Around the world, apps like this catalyzed our current civic hacking moment. Today, hundred of thousands of developers, designers, mappers, hackers, and yackers (the policy wonks) volunteer their time to analyze data, build public engagement applications, and use their skills for improving the quality of lives of their neighbors. This past weekend, we had Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, Councilmember Ben Kallos, Councilmember Mark Levine, a representative from Councilmember Rosie Mendez, and representatives from five Community Boards kick challenge over 100 civic hackers to prototype 21st Century interfaces to NYC’s open data.
Though this conversation on rules reform, you have an opportunity to continue the pioneering work, a small talented team of civic hackers and I did WITHIN the New York State Senate.
In 2004, I moved from Boston to work for then Senator Patterson’s Minority Information Services department. In 2009, I re-joined NY State Senate’s first Chief Information Officer office. Our team’s mission was to move the State Senate from zero to hero, depoliticize technology, and build open-reusable tools for all.
From Andrew Hoppin’s blog, the former NY State Senate CIO, on Open Senate.
Open Senate is an online “Gov 2.0″ program intended to make the Senate one of the most transparent, efficient, and participatory legislative bodies in the nation. Open Senate is comprised of multiple sub-projects led by the Office of the Chief Information Officer [CIO] in the New York State Senate, ranging from migrating to cost effective, open-source software solutions, to developing and sharing original web services providing access to government transparency data, to promoting the use of social networks and online citizen engagement.
We did this because we all know how New Yorkers are getting their information. I don’t need to sit here and spout off academic number of digital connectivity. One just has to hop into a subway station to see just about everyone on some sort of digital device.
For a modern NY City Council with 21st century members services, the council needs a Chief Information Officer and dedicated staff. The role of this office would be similar to the NYSenate’s CIO. Be empowered to create ranging from migrating to cost effective, open-source software solutions, to developing and sharing original web services providing access to government transparency data, to promoting the use of social networks and online citizen engagement.
Through this office, the Council would gain an empowered digital and information officer to coordinate the development and enhancement of member and constituent services.

Is that stain on the ceiling trying to tell you something? Discolored paint or plaster is almost always the result of moisture saturation. Ignoring even a slight stain can be a recipe for disaster. It may be nothing more than a poorly insulated duct causing condensation buildup. It may be a broken pipe. Or it could be a leaking roof. Water seepage can lead to wood rot, mold and mildew growth, and eventually the collapse of a large portion of your ceiling! The first step to rectifying the situation is to determine where the water is coming from. If you suspect you’re in need of a roof repair, the company to turn to is ABC Roofing & Exteriors.

Seasonal Closures – at certain times, typically February through July, wildlife require minimal human disturbance. Seasonal closures allow wildlife to successfully nest, rear young, or survive a critical time in their lifecycles.
Sensitive Area Closures – when open space areas that contain rich biodiversity from vegetation to animal life are susceptible to human disturbance, Jeffco Open Space may designate the area as sensitive and closed to public access for the protection of the natural elements.
Trail Closures – Trails may be closed when resource damage has occurred, restoration or relocation is underway, or conditions are deemed unsafe.
Hazard Closures – Closures that pose a safety hazard to visitors include rock fall, flooding, unsecured mine shafts and heavy equipment use.
Hunting Closures – Centennial Cone Park provides a period for hunting by permitted and licensed hunters during the months of December and January each year. The Park is closed to all other use at this time.
Wildfire Closures – When wildfires occur either in a park or adjacent to our parks, closures may be applied for public safety and/or staging of response crews.

A recent survey from the TMF (TM Forum Quick Insights Report “Smart Analytics”, 2018) shows how adoption is spreading through the industry – but what is really driving this? In other words, what is the key use case that motivates CSPs? According to the survey, the primary factor is the need to optimise customer experience – which now counts even more than the basic goal of increasing profitability. That’s because profit is all very well but, fundamentally, if customers receive a poor experience, they will typically leave for another network so, ultimately, profit will disappear in any case.
This focus on customer experience, which is central to the relationship providers have with their customers and the mutual value they can obtain, shows that CSPs are starting to understand that they need to take a long-term view of their customer relationships and that subscribers are not simply factors on the balance sheet.
So, how can analytics solutions help CSPs optimise customer experience? Put simply, they provide a stream of insights about the ways in which customers interact with providers, from network performance to service consumption and application usage. But, while these insights are necessary to create a better understanding of customer relationships, something else is required to secure the maximum benefits from them.
We need to be able to not only analyse, but also to act. What’s required is the ability to automatically generate responses and actions to the insights gleaned, and to learn from the accumulated data set, so that new actions can be taken.
CSPs need to be able to collect and analyse data and then to integrate the analysis with solutions that enable them to act. And that’s what’s happening. However, the report also indicates that it’s the largest CSPs that are pushing hardest for the adoption of such solutions. Smaller CSPs and MVNOs may be lagging behind. Similarly, some CSPs, such as mobile network operators, that host MVNO partners, may not be enabling them with the capabilities to perform the analytic operations they need to optimise and improve customer experience.
There are several reasons why this might be the case. First, time pressure may mean that smaller providers lack resources to manage the implementation and operation of analytics solutions. Second, they may baulk at the perceived cost.
While both are valid responses, they are also misleading. There are solutions, like Digitalk Mobile Cloud, which contain a fully-integrated analytics suite combined with automation and machine learning tools. These tools provide easy access to rich analytics data, spanning the entirety of the customer lifecycle – but are affordable, as they are tightly integrated with other OSS / BSS and infrastructure elements. So, there are ways in which the advantages of an analytics-based approach to customer experience can easily be unlocked, provided that CSPs and MVNOs take the right steps.
What’s clear from the research is that it is no longer tenable to ignore analytics as a key element of automated operations. CSPs and MVNOs cannot function without a clear analytics strategy. So, if you are struggling to add new analytics capabilities to your MVNO or hosting business for your MVNO partners, then you need to start now.
Why not talk to the Digitalk experts, who can put you on the right track and show you how you can capitalise on analytics to optimise and enhance your business?

Benefits/drawbacks of unlocking 6950 to 6970?
So what are the benefits? Do you get the same card basically if you unlock your 6950 2gb to a 6970 2gb? Or is the 6970 actually worth the extra money?
I've also read somewhere that you cant unlock the 6950 anymore. is this true? and if I unlock my 6950 to 6970 will i still be able to overclock the 6970?

posted this in the PR section but i forgot about this forum. its better suited here.
Re: Benefits/drawbacks of unlocking 6950 to 6970?
You may want to bring this up in the general Hardware / Software forum. You may get a quick response and be seen by people who don't frequent the PR forum.
I did it. I have the 2GB card with the dual bios switch.
actually you need to do a 10% OC to get the exact same specs as a 6970, I flashed my Bios but did not do the OC and have yet to see any game make this thing cry......so I idle at 30C and in BC2 marathons it jumps to 48C, pretty good actually.
You can still OC if you flash the Bios.
Here's the beauty of the whole thing....if it doesn't like the flash or your not happy with it....flip the switch and you have bone stock 6950. Even if you do flash it to 6970, you can always flsh it back to 6950.
My card is one of the first and it had a dual bios switch.....not sure if the new ones have this.
Basically what Ven said. You might still need to OC the card a bit to get the same performance as a HD6970. The only thing I'd worry about is making sure you have a 6950 with a good cooler on there and good airflow in your case. Any time you flash to a higher piece of hardware and add some OC to it, it's gonna heat up more and faster. Last thing you want is a burnt out card because the cooler was never designed to handle a OC.
but I have read around that with the newer versions of the 6950, you cant unlock them anymore. Anyone know if this is true or not?
I do not. Possibly look on Ebay for a first gen if it's a concern.

I don't watch very many horror movies, I'm totally terrified by zombies, and when I was a kid, I had an incredibly detailed night-time ritual to ensure I wouldn't get grabbed by the trees outside, possessed by ghosts or feasted upon by ghouls.
Several times, I've sent some bit of writing to a friend and had them be freaked out by it. When I go back and look, I do think, "oh yeah, that is pretty messed up," but when I'm writing it, I am usually so interested in finding the right word that I don't quite notice how horrifying the scene is that I'm describing.
Maybe being scared of many, many things many, many times means those fears are ready and waiting to be drawn upon? I don't know, but I don't think I've ever been creeped out by anything I've written.

It’s been only five days since the Charlottesville violence occurred, and while many are still struggling to process the terrorism and fall out, less fortunate souls are coping with and recovering from injuries sustained during the demonstration.
His name may not be widely known, but his story is. He was the poor soul who drew the rage and malice of white supremacists armed with sticks and boards in this video, which quickly went viral in an attempt to identify the assailants.
Despite the graphic and troubling nature of the video, Harris was fortunate enough to emerge from the incident with his life. He was later treated in a local hospital where he was diagnosed with a broken wrist. He also chipped his tooth during the incident and received eight staples in his head.
The effort quickly surpassed its goal, having reached more than $144,000 from 5,500 people in just three days. In addition to the practical effect of helping fund Harris’ medical costs, many are using the fundraiser as a show of support and vigilance against racially motivated violence.

The HH is an avowed audiophile, which means he basically spends every extra penny he has** on stereo equipment, stereo accessories, stereo components, stereo “cartridges,” stereo wires, or albums (first choice) and CDs (distant second choice). On a computer, using a 3-D modeling software, he draws blueprints of stereos for a living. Every time I walk into the listening room (aka our living room) or the TV room, I find scraps of paper with drawings of stereo speakers on them. To me, they all look alike, but obviously to him, they are as unique and individual as chromosomes.
The other day, I wandered into the listening room and spied him sketching yet another set of speakers on a scrap of paper.
“Don’t you ever get tired of drawing speakers?” I asked.
And making recipes is even more fun when I have my own culinary tech-toys to enhance the process! Thanks to the generous folks at Blendtec, this week I was able to play with my food in myriad ways in their high-powered blender.
This is a super high-powered blender, perfect for all those applications where you wish you had a high-speed blender to make über smooth drinks, smoothies, soups, sauces, ice creams or puddings. It’s a hefty machine with a sturdy base, heavy motor and wide, smooth-sided jar (so easy to scrape out the contents–I was in heaven!).
In the materials that came with the machine, the description notes the “uniquely blunt safety blade” that’s “completely safe to use and clean, plus 80% thicker and 10 times stronger than competitors’ blades.” I have to admit that, as I first examined it, it did, indeed, seem blunt. I thought, “how the heck is this blade going to produce smooth results?” I needn’t have wondered. When I first whipped up the Creamy Blueberry Protein Smoothie (recipe below), it blended quickly and evenly, and came out perfectly silky smooth. I don’t know how it works, but it does.
My morning smoothie was ready in no time. And I was delighted to be able to scrape out every last bit easily. But my earlier foray, this blueberry pudding, was a bit more adventurous recipe.
This pudding resembles an extra-thick smoothie, bursting with antioxidant-rich blueberries and the ultra creaminess of avocado. I’ve added some of my favorite grain-free protein powder as well to boost the nutrient value. Because it’s so high in protein and low glycemic to boot, you could easily spoon up a bowlful for breakfast as well as dessert. And really, you can’t beat that incredible hue!
There’s nothing like getting a new toy to brighten your day. I’m definitely enjoying playing with the Blendtec. Next up, I look forward to getting one of the twister jar attachments so I can try out some of my beloved nut butters in it, too!
Are you a fan of high-speed blenders? Why (or why not)?
Apart from their vibrant color and winning flavor, blueberries are consistently at the top of the list when it comes to antioxidant content to help prevent all kinds of chronic conditions and cancers. They’re also one of the few low glycemic fruits that can be added fairly early on to an anti-candida diet. If you’d rather try this recipe with a different fruit, feel free to sub a another kind of berry or even chopped pineapple or mango in the pudding.
Place all ingredients in the order given (ie, milk on the bottom, berries on top) in the Blendtec jar. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides once or twice if necessary. Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings. Store, covered, in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
Suitable for: ACD All stages Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Maintenance and beyond, sugar-free, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg free, soy-free, nut free, yeast-free, vegan, low glycemic.
oh ricki I love the humour in your posts! strangely enough I avoid these thick cold puddings and then make thick smoothies full of chia seeds and oats that need to be eaten with a spoon! So I probably would like this more than I expect – esp with berries and avocado! I have recently bought a high speed blender and love it but not sure it always loves me! I intend to write on it at some length some time – it is exciting to make my own nut butters but it still feels like a steep learning curve.
I can’t imagine life without my high-powered blender! I also own a Blendtec but gave it to my Mum when I got my new one (a Froothie). The Twister jar sounds especially fabulous – I think I’d make coconut butter with it first!
Ricki – don’t have chia seeds in the house; what do you think of substituting flax meal for them?
Just made it, with the flax meal, and using raspberries (because we had them). Unanimous verdict: delicious!

After studies at the Rhode Island School of Design and Lyme Academy of Fine Art, followed by years of plein-air painting, Chris Karpinski's works have become non-objective allusions to places or feelings remembered.
Created in the moment, with diverse methods of paint application, each mark leads to the next and the process takes over. There is much scraping and sanding with unintended results and surprises. Through color, light, texture, and the inspiration of nature's beauty, Karpinski hopes to generate a sense of serenity and contemplation.
Her paintings may be found at the Essex Lyme Art Associations, Artisan Framing and Gallery in Niantic CT, Essex Coffee and Tea in Essex CT, and numerous private and corporate collections here and abroad.

Hi, I am HSIN LIN .Thank you for visiting my original artwork. Please feel welcome to have a look around my profile. As you will see, I am obsessed with the beauty and form of flowers and I adore vivid contrasting colour combinations, splashes, speckles and the rough texture of the brushstroke.
Most of my inspiration comes from my observation of the natural world.
I am very lucky. A short walk from home takes me into a beautiful forest and it’s here I can touch the texture of the tree bark, observe the colours of the current season and feel the sunlight reflecting on the trees and grasses. I often find myself collecting leaves, feathers and other wonderful gifts from nature which have fallen to the ground. I love to observe these in great detail and reflect their beauty into my paintings.

View Full Version : Does which regional matter?
Being a Texas born and bred I have a special affinity towards SW as I am building time on the regional side. One question so of my current cohorts have been discussing is the best way to be marketable at the next level. Given that I’d appreciate some input on a few items.
3. Other standouts like volunteering, letters of rec, military etc...big impact or just so so?
Thanks for the responses in advance.
I don’t think so for SWA. There seem to be a lot of Skywest guys in PHX, but a good variety of experience anywhere is what matters.
A Bachelor’s degree would rank higher than an Associate’s. The degree checks a box, the school doesn’t. My opinion only.
SWA likes to see all mentioned. I can’t comment about military service, but for sure community involvement and letters are very important.
SWA doesn't care what regional you come from. If this is your ultimate goal, work on your degree while flying at your regional. The regional that offers the fastest upgrade would be the one I'd suggest.
SWA definitely appreciates military service, but then you're looking at a significant time commitment that will slow your progress to SWA down.
So it just depends on your preferences.
I believe all of them are represented. the famous "Eagle Mafia" (now Envoy) and obviously Skywest are well represented. Some theory supposes that "alot of Skywest" because "Skywest is similar to SWA" but other supposition is that if the largest regional on the planet is, well, Skywest, then alot of Skywest dudes are at all the majors.
I would probably go with a guaranteed interview or flow regional versus not. That way you have a worst-case backup plan if you never get called as an off-the-street hire.
Hopefully many captains that you are/were flying with at your current regional are getting hired at SWA. Several internal letters of recommendation from recent co-workers really helps. Best of luck to you!
They help after your interview. They won't help you get selected for the interview.
Go to a regional you don’t have to commute to, and/or one with flow.
I was in new hire class in March. Half of my class was military, a quarter was corporate, and the rest was regional. I came from Endeavor Air. There were several Skywest, one Air Wisconsin, one Republic, and two from Mesa. While there are a bunch of Skywest guys, they do hire people from everywhere.
I had an aviation Bachelors Degree from Tarleton. I had about 7 rec letters uploaded with my resume and cover letter, not including my SWA recs. Once selected to interview, I had 3 SWA recs. I did Career Takeoff interview prep. 9500 total time, 7000 pic. Good luck, stay after it, and you’ll be happy you did.
They do like SkyWest people but st the same time I think relative to being hired from another regional chances are the same. Remember SkyWest has around 5200 pilots, so of course compared to another regional there may be a few more in class.
Are there any regionals that have a "stigma" attached to them at WN and make it extremely difficult to get hired, even for folks who look really good on paper?
Mesa, for example, takes a beating from its detractors, who claim pilots from Mesa struggle to get hired at The Big 6 & elsewhere because of "Mesa's reputation." Others (often Mesa pilots) claim that the skills gained from managing all the challenges, as PIC, that Mesa thrusts onto them actually makes Mesa pilots more qualified than their peers at other regionals.
The answer to this question may well be different at each legacy/major/LCC, but if anyone is good enough to shine any light on WN's thought process here, I would greatly appreciate it - I'd like to be as competitive as possible at WN and I haven't yet reached the point in my career where I've been hired by a regional. Understood that things easily could/will change before I'm hirable by WN, but any insight on the current WN mindset would be great to get.
No. The biggest problem Regional pilots face (my opinion only fwiw) is figuring out how to differentiate themselves from every other pilot in a blue suit and a red tie with an identical background and identical experience.
I think that’s why the corporate and military folks have been so successful. They have different stories to tell that involve service (to the customer or the country) and sacrifice.
It’s not just checking boxes that makes the difference. It’s the experiences within each one that you reveal during the interview that will paint the picture of you as a candidate.
You won’t find a specific answer to your question.
There are a bunch of former Skywest pilots in my new hire class, and instructors here have noted that the company's pilots have a very good reputation here. They've even noted that we're going to drain them of all their pilots soon. FWIW, I wouldn't choose Skywest over another company if that other company is a much better fit for your life situation. But all other things being equal, I don't see how having Skywest on your resume could hurt here at SWA.
SkyWest has 4500+ pilots. Southwest isn’t draining them of all their pilots. Give me a break.
In my opinion, it's about the individual and not the airline you come from. Just because you come from XYZ airline does not grant you any special privileges or for that matter any negative sentiment.
Thanks to all for the help and that’s encouraging to hear that individuals & individual attributes matter more to WN than established pipelines/closed pipelines or checking particular boxes!
Thanks for the feedback all. Will for sure plan accordingly as I progress on the regional side. Good the military experience helps, but in s few years that may even be too common.
It was obviously a joke since they've hired so many of their pilots. There's your break.
Yawn, nothing special about military or corp folks in any way whatsoever.
No, there is not. But it’s easier for them to do management type jobs when they live in base, which most corporate/mil folks do.
SWA (IMO) does not care what your experience is, if you meet the mins (their secret computer mins that is) you get triggered for an interview. I honestly believe the job is yours to loose once you interview.
SWA want to hire a certain type of person, and we can only speculate what that secret sauce is, but from my experience it’s people with something or things on their resume’ that stand out. Check airman, chief pilot, safety officer, maintenance duties, whatever.
My interview had 2 “tell me about a time” questions. The rest was “what was your hardest challenge as a safety officer”. “Ever fail someone giving a check ride”? What was the mission your company did? How did you build team enthusiasm?
SWA has a brief period to decide if you are what they want as a PERSON, not as a pilot. It’s your job to convey to them who and what you are.
I had zero airline, zero jet time when I was hired. My honest opinion is SWA want a person who will promote their culture and business model, they will teach you how to fly if need be.
“Pilots are a dime a dozen, a good employee is damn near impossible to find, but we found 24 of them”, was an intro by someone during training.
My honest opinion is SWA want a person who will promote their culture and business model, they will teach you how to fly if need be.
Yep. It may not be quite the same airline as described in the book “NUTS”, but I’m convinced the “hire for attitude, train for skill” philosophy is in place.
Yup, cool guy with story that doesn't have a panic attack = hired. MIL,CIV,CORP guy that freaks is done and done. More MIL dude spaz out than CIV btw.
corp/mil/civ all the same too me. some are as3holes some are not, more as3holes and horrible pilots from the air force academy. that is just life though. AFA "I flew tankers/fake fighters" like my buzzz cut? oh jesus, flunky here we go.
What are fake fighters? I’m just looking to get educated as you seem like an intelligent thinker.

Application Parkin ELISA KIT|Human is for detecting the concentration of Human Parkin in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates and other biological fluids.
The microtiter plate provided in Parkin ELISA KIT|Human has been pre-coated with an Human Parkin antibody specific to Human Parkin. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated Human Parkinantibody preparation specific for Human Parkin then avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then a TMB substrate solution is added to each well. Only those wells that contain Human Parkin, biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm . The concentration of Human Parkinin the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
*Please noted that Parkin ELISA KIT|Human is only for RUO (Research Use Only), Not for the diagnostic Purpose!

Police recently arrested a teen accused of getting into a road rage incident and stabbing a fellow motorist during a violent altercation in West Windsor, NJ.
The scary incident occurred shortly after 4:00 p.m. The suspect was reportedly driving a car on New Village Road when there some sort of near-collision with another vehicle. The other motor vehicle was driven by the victim.
When the suspect and the victim stopped their respective vehicles, the men reportedly began to argue with one another while remaining inside their cars. However, the altercation soon spilled into the street and became physical, with the men reportedly getting out of their vehicles. At one point during the verbal dispute, the victim allegedly grabbed a key chain from the suspect and tossed it to the ground.
Details about what happened next are scare, but law enforcement has revealed that the suspect and the victim later continued driving their cars and ended up next to each other on Edinburg Road. With traffic backed up due to congestion during the rush hour, the men had plenty of opportunities to continue shouting at each.
The shouting once again turned physical, according to West Windsor police. The suspect allegedly used his hand to punch a tail light on the victim’s car. The victim then exited his vehicle and reached inside the suspect’s car. It was at that point that the suspect allegedly grabbed a utility knife and stabbed the victim. Authorities said that the suspect stabbed the victim several times in the hand and arm.
The victim was able to use his cell phone to dial 911, prompting West Windsor NJ police to dispatch police officers to the area. When patrol cops arrived at the scene of the road rage incident, they found the victim suffering from stab wounds. Police officers also reportedly noticed a significant amount of blood on the roadway.
The victim is a 50-year-old man who lives in the Forked River area of Lacey, NJ, which is located in Ocean County. After the violent incident, he was transported via ambulance to a local hospital so that doctors could treat him for his stab wounds. Thankfully, the victim was released from the medical facility on the same day and is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries.
The suspect, who lives in West Windsor NJ, was initially detained by West Windsor police officers and then placed under arrest. He has been charged with multiple crimes, including aggravated assault, terroristic threats, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and criminal mischief.
If the suspect is convicted on the most serious charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, he could wind up spending five years behind bars. That’s because an assault with a weapon such as a firearm or a knife is classified as a third degree felony.
The suspect is currently free on bail. He will have to appear in Mercer County Superior Court, located in Trenton NJ, at a later date to address the criminal charges against him.
Police recently arrested a Trenton New Jersey man who has been accused of committing a violent assault during a robbery at a city residence.
The attack and theft occurred around 11:00 p.m. According to law enforcement, the suspect and the victim were both among a group of people hanging out during the late-night hours at a house located on Butler Avenue in Trenton, NJ. The victim was reportedly surrounded by her friends when suddenly she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and collapsed to the ground. As the victim hit the floor, she became unconscious.
The victim was subsequently tended to by her friends and eventually regained consciousness. When the victim woke up, she realized that $4,000 in cash had gone missing from her purse. Additionally, her cell phone had been stolen.
Someone at the gathering dialed 911 and alerted the Trenton Police Department, which dispatched cops to the residence. When Trenton police officers arrived at the scene, they spoke with the victim and gathered information from witnesses. The victim, a 23-year-old Trenton woman, was treated at the scene for her head injury. Thankfully, she did not require hospitalization.
Investigators eventually determined that the suspect was the likely culprit in the robbery. Members of the Trenton Police Department Violent Crimes Unit and Warrant Unit later located the suspect and placed him under arrest.
The suspect is a 30-year-old male who resides in Trenton, New Jersey. He has been formally charged with robbery in connection with the theft crime. However, the suspect has not yet been charged with assault because Trenton investigators have not found probable cause to connect the suspect to the violent attack on the victim.
If police can eventually determine that the suspect hit the victim in the back of her head prior to the robbery, he would likely face criminal charges for aggravated assault. Since the assault occurred during the commission of a felony (robbery), the suspect would probably be subject to aggravated assault charges, not simple assault charges. This makes a huge difference because aggravated assault is classified as a felony-level offense and can result in prison time, while simple assault is merely a disorderly persons offense and often results in no jail time.

Two nonsubsistence trips with a midtrip that returns home are included, and there is at least one nonsubsistence activity stop. Table 2 shows the endogenous variables and their descriptions. Table 2 Carfilzomib Description of endogenous variables in SEM. According to the statistics, there are 705 cases about commuters in historic district and 245 cases about commuters out of the district. Table 3 shows the sample size and percentage of each class. Table 3 Descriptions of characteristics of inside and outside commuters. Great differences exist in most influencing factors of these two groups (such as travel time taken, nature of work, and travel distance), which results in great differences in their travel behaviors.
sperms were characterized from those remained candidates who had made trajectories for enough period of time. The performance of the proposed algorithm were compared Brefeldin_A with three alternative methods (e.g. OF, SMNN and MS) using their detection-rate, false detection rate, full trajectories, partial trajectories and none trajectories. Tests were carried based on real videos containing high density sperms, so complex and close motions were recorded in captured videos. Results showed higher performance of the proposed algorithm in characterization of sperms compared to tested alternative methods. The results showed that the proposed method has detected sperms and full trajectories with accuracy of 6% and 11% respectively, better than the best of other examined algorithms.
located in the wheel center. The ergometer was adjusted for each subject’s anthropometric measurements. Torque curves of inexperienced subjects on the ergometer showed an initial negative deflection and a dip in the rising portion of the curve. This device was an important resource for the research program of the Faculty of Human Movement Sciences, VU University Amsterdam, and was used by van der Woude et al. and Veeger et al. in several studies.[28,29,30,31,32,33,34] Strauss et al.[35,36] have reported Brefeldin_A on the development of an instrumented wheel system (IWS). The calibration of their system revealed problems in terms of linearity and drift which only permitted reliable measurement of torque. A brief description of a second prototype was reported to employ an AMTI 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) force transducer. It was stated that their system transfers data from the sensor to a computer either through a direct wire link or via a microprocessor based digital FM transmitter-receiver system. Wu et al. have performed static and dynamic analysis for their fabricated instrumented wheel using a commercial 6 DOF force transducer (JR-3 Inc., Woodland, CA). The system incorporates a data logger and a handrim unit mounted on a wheel hub.
profiles that will provide a succinct, easily digestible presentation of the risk of bias and magnitude of effects.75 Multiple treatment comparison meta-analyses To assess relative effects of competing treatments, we will construct a GSK-3 random effects model within the Bayesian framework using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.92 We will use trace plots and calculate the Gelman-Rubin statistic to assess model convergence. We will model patient-important outcomes in every treatment group of every study, and specify the relations among the effect sizes across studies.93 This method combines direct and indirect evidence for any given pair of treatments.
the socioeconomic position does not inhibit return to work, but may be essential contributors to the high proportion becoming employed at final follow-up. In addition to the financial support the contact with the social security system initiates rehabilitation activities directed towards obtaining new Brefeldin_A work when unemployed.18 It is important to disclose predictors for long-term outcome as this may suggest targets for management. We found that arthralgia at the first contact independently predicted poor long-term prognosis as evaluated by employment, FSS and WSAS scores. Arthralgia is a prominent and serious somatic symptom in the majority of patients with CFS.4 We found that depression at the first contact tended to predict poor prognosis both as to FSS and WSAS scores, but not employment.
of antipsychotics. REducing Anti-Psychotic use in residential care-Huntington Disease (REAP-HD) aims to overcome some of these barriers in a subgroup of people with dementia—people with HD. HD is an autosomal dominant, progressive, neurodegenerative disorder, due to abnormal CAG expansion in the chromosome 4 Huntingtin gene.13 It is one of the most common neurogenetic disorders,14 and has devastating consequences for patients and their families.15 Typical age of onset is in the 30s–40s, and symptoms include involuntary movements, cognitive/behavioural Carfilzomib symptoms and psychiatric disorders.13 Our understanding of HD has evolved from a familial movement disorder to a multisystem, chronic disease requiring complex care. Cognitive impairment is very common in HD,16 and dementia in the context of HD is one of the most common reason for RCF admission. People with HD make up a significant proportion of the very young living in New South Wales nursing homes—10.2% of people aged 50 or under in NSW nursing homes have HD (baseline statistics from the Young Person in Nursing Home National Alliance17).

Equally, discussion with healthcare professionals may identify areas of professional development in relation to consent practices. Methods and analysis Study design This study will be qualitative in nature using semistructured interviews with key stakeholders—parents, healthcare professionals and policymakers. This will allow us to explore with stakeholders, in detail, key questions regarding perceptions of consent processes, attitudes towards these, and how these perceptions and attitudes relate to individual experiences.
and sensitive method than DAS28-CRP to assess inflammation.15 The most commonly used MRI scoring system is the OMERACT RA MRI Scoring (RAMRIS) system based on postcontrast imaging acquisition.16 It includes synovitis and bone marrow oedema (BME) scores, which are reliable and responsive in detecting treatment changes. RAMRIS also includes an erosion score.17 Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is an imaging technique where MRI sequences Carfilzomib are acquired sequentially and rapidly prior to and during the infusion of a contrast agent. This technique correlates better with the histopathological findings of synovial inflammation than the conventional postcontrast MRI.18–22 It is of value for the rheumatologist to be able to assess the presence of central sensitisation, especially when confronted with a patient with few clinical signs of inflammation. Possible central sensitisation needs to be taken into account when balancing expectations during shared decision-making with the patient prior to initiating medical therapy. In patients with persistent pain primarily caused by altered central pain processing, treatment strategies targeting underlying pain mechanisms are warranted.
varied with wide CIs selleck chemicals llc for co-infections. No co-infections were identified in the study sample. Results for the Montreal cohort In Montreal, 155 participants were approached for participation, of whom 37 were not eligible as they did not have a Medicare card. Of the remaining 118 participants who were enrolled, 9 did not complete the study procedure because of difficulty with obtaining blood with phlebotomy—as a consequence, 109 participants completed the study procedure. In Montreal, participants were IDUs, predominantly males (68%) and middle-aged (mean age: 38 years; details refer: table 2), with a very active history of screening for HIV (96%), HCV (94%) and HBV (84%) compared with syphilis (59%) compared with the Mumbai cohort. Feasibility of the strategy defined by the completion rate was 92.4% (109/118). Compared with the gold standard, seropositivity of infections with Miriad (version 2) was estimated to be: HIV 3.7% (4/109; 95% CI 1.2% to 9.7%), HCV 42.2% (46/109; 95% CI 32.9% to 52.0%) and syphilis 1.8% (2/109; 95% CI 0.3% to 7.1%).
for HBV (as per Canadian guidelines); hence, no new infection was found, and HBV sensitivity could not be computed. Specificities were as follows: HIV 100% (95% CI 97.2% to 100%), HCV 85.3% (95% CI 73.8% to 93.0%), syphilis 98.1% (95% CI 93.3% to 99.8%) and HBV 100% (95% CI 97.3% to 100%). Concordance was not computed for Drug_discovery this component of the study because Miriad was performed by a single research nurse. Discussion The multiplexed POC based strategy was feasible to operationalise and preferred by a completely different set of populations in two different settings, with very different baseline rates of screening for HIV and co-infections, and varying levels of endemicity of these infections, and these explain the fact that detection of new infections differed in these two participants. IDUs in Montreal were heavily screened for HIV, HCV, HBV and vaccinated for HBV, while STD clinic attendees in Mumbai were heavily screened for HIV only and poorly vaccinated for HBV.

Discussion in 'Saturn' started by lid230, Apr 12, 2002.
I have seen Steep Slope SLiders on an FTP and there is 1 RAR file about 6.21MB and the rest of the files are MP3's is this right, because 6.21MB isnt very big i didnt know if it was complete.
The RAR of it that I've got is 6.24MB so that sounds about right.
That game's data track is really small. That's probably correct.
with a crappy graph and not mutch fun in the stages and horrible control.
at the time it was the best snowboarding game, and its not THAT bad. i would say it is decent, but no where near great and there is really no reason to play it except nostalgia with the great extreme sports games we have now.

The benefits of pediatric sedation dentistry allow a child who may be unable, unwilling, or afraid to have necessary dental treatment to undergo the procedure without feeling fear, stress, anxiety, or pain. While we offer an extremely child-friendly environment at Frisco Kids Dentistry, there are times when dental sedation may be the best alternative in order to provide the most pleasant experience possible for your child. Because there are different levels of pediatric sedation services, your dentist can utilize sedation for various types of dental treatment in a safe and effective manner suitable to your child’s needs.
If your child is fearful of having a dental procedure, rest assured that he/she is not alone. In fact, the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation reports that 75% of adults have mild to severe anxiety concerning dental appointments, with 30% avoiding dental visits altogether.
One of sedation dentistry’s greatest benefits is that it relaxes and calms the patient. A child undergoing a dental procedure who feels relaxed rather than fearful will usually experience little to no anxiety at future visits and be far less likely to develop a lifelong dental phobia that can have serious consequences to their dental health as an adult. Research show that adults with dental phobias often neglect having regular dental check-ups and suffer from considerably more dental problems because of needlessly avoiding the dentist.
In addition to the psychological benefits, the relaxation of the patient during dental sedation also allows your pediatric dentist to perform the dental procedure without interruption or resistance. Some children may reflexively move or pull back during certain aspects of treatment which can cause delays in the procedure. For some young children, sitting still for a lengthy time is extremely difficult. While your dentist is used to accommodating such movements, dental sedation allows the treatment to be completed quickly, efficiently, and uninterrupted.
For children who have a sensitive gag reflex, sedation dentistry can help diminish the sensation of choking or the urge to throw up. Controlling the gag reflex not only makes the patient more comfortable, but helps the dentist perform your child’s procedure smoothly and safely.
With moderate (conscious) sedation or deep iv sedation, your dentist can accomplish several procedures in one appointment and your child will feel as if little time has passed, having felt no pain, discomfort, or anxiety.
When your dentist is able to complete your child’s treatment in less appointments, the cost for you is minimized. While dental sedation may not always be covered by a patient’s insurance company, it can still ultimately save money because the lengthy treatments can be performed in a single dental appointment rather than multiple visits.
For children undergoing less complex procedures, minimal sedation is relatively inexpensive, and the benefits typically outweigh any additional costs. If your child is experiencing anxiety over his/her upcoming dental appointment, be sure to inquire about our pediatric sedation services.
Some children have difficulty holding still during a dental procedure due to emotional, physical, or behavioral disorders. Dental sedation is ideal for children with special needs because the procedure can be done faster and be more comfortable for the patient.
Sedation dentistry also makes the treatment easier for the dentist to perform, especially if the patient is uncooperative or doesn’t fully understand what to expect. In some instances, even a comprehensive oral exam cannot be completed while a patient is fully awake, so dental sedation can be utilized in order to provide necessary routine dental care.
With moderate (conscious/oral sedation) or deep IV sedation, most patients have little or no memory of the dental procedure itself. This amnesia allows the patient to feel as if only a few minutes have passed when, in reality, the treatment may have taken several hours.
For children with dental anxiety, sedation can not only make them comfortable and relaxed, but erase any fearful feelings that may have been experienced, especially during more complex treatments. Not remembering the dental procedure can also be helpful in overcoming dental phobias.
For lengthy or complex treatments, we offer dental office sedation with pediatric anesthesiologists in order to ensure your child’s comfort and safety.
Pediatric sedation dentistry is a method of helping your child reduce dental fears and feel relaxed during his/her procedure. If you are interested in utilizing dental sedation for your child’s next dental treatment or would like to find out if your child can benefit from sedation dentistry, contact our office for an appointment.

These are some great beginnings or enhancements for your sauna!
click to enlarge NIPPA® offers a complete set of Indoor and Outdoor Sauna Blueprints, which includes the Index & Title, Exterior Sauna (16' x 20' model), Interior Sauna (6' x 10', 8' x 12' and 12' x 14' models), Sections and finally Details (venting, stove placement, benchs, back/headrests, duckboard, & door plans).
Our wooden accessories are beautifully handcrafted of Finnish pine and Finnish craftsmanship. A bucket and dipper are essential Sauna accessories. A dipper or two of water splashed over hot Sauna stones creates vapor (löyly) that promotes perspiration to flush the pores. It also transforms the hot dry air into a comfortable moist atmosphere. Without the use of water, the bather cannot enjoy a truly authentic Sauna experience. Since our buckets are made of natural wood, which has a tendency to expand and contract in the heat of the Sauna, we highly recommend our heavy duty bucket liner (100L) to prevent leakage.
A thermometer is a necessary accessory in the Sauna as it is important to know the correct temperature. After heating your sauna room for at least thirty minutes, an average temperature would be about 180° F. Hang your thermometer 6" below the ceiling directly above your Sauna heater. Another useful item is the hygrometer. It will indicate the Sauna humidity, which usually ranges from 10 to 35%, depending upon the amount of water used on the stones.
Use these products in your shower, bath, or after. These wonderfully exhilarating products contain pure birch leaf extract with the great forest fresh scent from Scandinavia.
Enhance your Sauna experience with one (or all five!) of these natural, Sauna-Fresh fragrances. Each bottle holds 1.8 oz. of PURE essence (not diluted!). It is so concentrated that only 5 to 10 drops need be added to a bucket of water, or just one or two drops to a dipper of water. Pour this scented water slowly over the hot stones and enjoy. It's great for steam rooms too... pour a few drops in the receptacle of a steam head and enjoy the scent released with the steam.
These authentic Sauna aromas imported from Finland add a soothing scent to any Sauna room. These are Pre-diluted essence oil's. Just pour over the Sauna stones and enjoy!

The Federal Bureau of Investigation recently released its annual report, “Crime in the United States,” which stated that in 2014 there were 1.2 million violent crimes committed in America, 63.6% of which were aggravated assaults. In addition, 8.2 million property crimes were reported by law enforcement agencies; victims suffered financial losses of approximately $14.3 billion.
However, not all larceny occurs in “the real world,” per say. In a separate FBI report on Internet crime, cybercrimes accounted for nearly 270,000 documented incidents last year. These illicit activities, which include auto and real estate fraud, government impersonation scams and extortion, resulted in total losses of $800 million.
With the sheer volume of crimes being committed on a daily basis and the severity of the resulting financial damages, clearly more could be done to deter future incidents. Unfortunately, as technology advances, criminals become more sophisticated in their methods, and it becomes even more paramount to remain multiple steps ahead.
Most traditional data management and analytic solutions are not suited to conduct crime analysis, because they cannot scale to massive data volumes, still rely primarily on batch processing, or are not capable of traversing the relationships between data points, such as connecting a perpetrator to a fraudulent bank account.
To prevent future crimes from occurring, law enforcement agencies are adopting Information Fusion software platforms to correlate fast, streaming data with their archival data so that they can identify trends and patterns from all data sets, rather than a mere and incomplete subset. Information Fusion technology better enables crime analytic applications by providing context to more quickly and efficiently locate unknown-unknowns in real time.
Objectivity has a rich history working with law enforcement agencies and the military to support crime analytic use cases at both the micro level of individual cybercrimes to the macro level of national counter-terrorism efforts. These organizations are leveraging Objectivity database platforms to deliver more accurate situational awareness and accelerate time-to-insight.
Our recently announced product, ThingSpan, extends these capabilities even further by integrating the fusion technology that Objectivity has been perfecting for decades with industry-standard open-source tools, such as HDFS and Spark. Now organizations will be able to track down criminals faster and with more precision, without the exorbitant IT costs of traditional databases, regardless of how many degrees of separation lie between suspects and other entities.
A more technologically advanced world means greater risk of serious criminal threats, but it also means that law enforcement is becoming increasingly more proactive than reactive: by preventing such threats from turning into actions, we can stop crime before it starts.

I have tried to give an explanation of a few musical concepts of Indian Classical Music or Raaga Music (North Indian Style).
It is a well-known fact that Indian Music is based on Melody and Western Music on Harmony. This does not mean that Western Music does not include melody. But that, the harmonizing effect of different instruments and voices given to a certain melody plays the important role. In a similar manner in Indian Music the melody has an upper hand. Usually, it is said and believed that harmony doesn’t play a role in Indian Music. But, to my way of understanding, harmony is equally important in Indian Classical Music Performance though, not the way it is used in western music. The harmony effect is a steady continuous drone effect created usually by a ‘Taanpura’. Taanpura is a stringed instrument. It has 4 strings tuned to the fifth, first, first and 2 octaves lower first notes respectively, starting from the outer string. If the raaga excludes the fifth, then the 1st string is tuned to the fourth note. These strings are plucked successively, one after the other, throughout the performance. This non-stop playing of the instrument creates a large spectrum of harmonizing notes in the background by the permutation and combination of the 4 notes and its overtones. This gives a very rich texture to the music. From a well tuned normal Taanpura, a spectrum of about 7-8 notes of the scale can be produced and heard by a trained musical ear. If a taanpura is of a very good quality, a well trained musical ear can hear all of the 12 notes of the scale. (This can happen because even a well trained human ear cannot perceive a difference of 2-3 hertz or its fraction.) The whole auditorium or room is filled with this effect and helps the musician and the listeners to experience the tranquility of the music performance. Listeners can be grouped in 2 basic types – those whose understand the concepts of Raagas and the Musical forms and those who do not understand this but, enjoy the concept as they are lovers of the swara i.e. the notes and overall music. The second type of listeners enjoys the tranquility of the music environment. Along with this enjoyment, the first type can also experience the raaga and concepts of the musical form.
This concepts of music is called as ‘Laya’. It is quite similar to the western concept. The 3 basic tempo’s are called as Vilambit, Madhya and Drut. Vilambit is very slow, derived from the sanskrit word ‘Vilamba’, meaning that which takes time. Madhya means not very fast, not very slow, medium. In Sanskrit this word means ‘middle’. Drut is the fast tempo. The word also means ‘fast or quick’ in Sanskrit.
The tempo in western music has a standardized given time period, measured in beats. But, in Indian Music there is no such scientific standardization. This concept is a very subjective one and the performer has the liberation of choosing his/her medium tempo, i.e. Madhya laya. Because of this subjective liberation the madhya laya of every performer can vary a lot.
The Indian equivalent is called as “Maatra”. It is the unit used to measure the complex rhythm style called as ‘ Taal’ of Indian Music. Again, similar to the ‘Tempo’ concept ‘Maatraa’ is very subjective. It is not standardized like a constant. Yet, it has arithmetical standards. i.e. the complex rhythm style of ‘taal’ is divided in equal parts measured by this unit. It can be compared with the subjective measure like ‘1 arm length’ and not like the objective measure ‘1 meter length’. It is subjective, yet, has an arithmetically consistent value for the particular person.
In Indian music this concept is called as ‘ Taal’. Rhythm as in Western music is a very simple way of progressive, cyclic measurement of tempo. Indian Music has a very complex way of this measurement. There are more than 20-25 popular and regularly used rhythm patterns and approximately 50-60 rare rhythm patterns in North Indian Style and 108 patterns in South Indian Styles.
It is important to remember that Indian Music does not have ‘Standardization’ of notes, rhythm and other concepts of music like those of the Western, scientific and objective standardization. Moreover, Indian Musicians prefer liberty to such standardization. This non standardization makes a it difficult for a western musician, it understand Indian Music.

Euro hits a three-year high against the dollar amid optimism - Desmond Gibbons & Co. Desmond Gibbons & Co.
The euro has hit a three-year high against the dollar amid rising optimism about growth in the bloc.
With data showing economic resurgence in the eurozone, such as the manufacturing purchasing managers’ index which is at a 20 year high, investors are growing more upbeat about the bloc’s prospects.
The currency’s rise also coincided with a fresh drop down on the dollar, with the eurozone’s improving economic outlook spurring more investors to rebalance their portfolios towards the region. The dollar has weakened as markets grow increasingly confident that a global recovery would outpace US growth, and prompt other major central banks led by the ECB to unwind its quantitative easing policy quicker than market expectations.
“Despite the stronger US inflation number on Friday, the dollar couldn’t gain traction,” said John Moclair, head of Global Customer Group at Bank of Ireland Global Markets.
But the boost in the euro comes as Moody’s Investor Service warned that the eurozone’s growth potential remains “lacklustre” as issues like long-term unemployment remaining unaddressed.
In a note to investors, Moody’s said that while the acute phase of the eurozone debt crisis is over, countries – and the monetary union as a whole – are still dealing with its fiscal, economic and institutional legacies.
“At the country level, credit fundamentals are still much weaker than they were pre-crisis,” the note said. “Governments are much more indebted, the unemployment legacy of the crisis lingers, and the institutional fragilities exposed by the crisis have not yet been fully addressed.
Moody’s said it expected the cyclical economic recovery that began in late 2013 to continue in 2018. This, it said, should support an improvement in “credit fundamentals” in some countries. It also noted that banking systems impacted by the crisis in Ireland, Austria, Slovenia, Spain and Portugal have since strengthened their capital buffers and asset quality. But it warned that the region’s growth potential remains relatively lacklustre at roughly 1.5pc.
But for the most part, there is optimism about the eurozone upswing. JP Morgan, for one, expect the eurozone’s economy to outpace that of the US in 2018, and that optimism is weighing on the dollar. Measured against a basket of currencies, the dollar was down 0.5pc yesterday, its lowest since early 2015.

In this essay, when I say “Americans,” I mean citizens of the United States, with apologies to the good citizens of other countries on the North American and South American Continents who visit this site.
The real question is this: What is the American middle class and in what sense did it ever exist? And how does this tie in with idea of the “upper class”?
We Americans love to think we have no “upper class,” that we are a actually a classless society, that the USA is a democracy beholden to the will of the governed, the great “middle class.” The politicians tell us they serve the interests of this middle class, the ordinary chap in the street and in the workplace.
The popular American concept of ourselves is that when the Europeans landed in what eventually became the United States, they formed an egalitarian society. Eventually, a majority coalition of small landholders, the small tradesmen, the mechanics and artisans, the yeomen farm-holders, frontiersmen, and small burghers–in other words, the great and broad “middle class” overthrew the tyrannical rule of the tax-happy British monarchy and instituted a republican form of government. This was a government, perhaps divinely inspired, that represented the will of the great majority of its inhabitants.
Like all narratives that great powers and empires tell themselves about their beginnings, this tasty broth contains both a dash of truth and dash of myth.
I offer each of you personally this lovely Christmas card, now nearly 140 years after it was first created in the year 1870, as I start to write this essay on Christmas eve, year 2009.
Best holiday wishes to all my friends and visitors, you who are my brothers and sisters, who come here to Alan OldStudent’s Musings.
And Merry Christmas to my Christian friends.
As one who is in the seventh decade of his life, I have seen some amazing things. I saw how a mass movement in my own country, the United States, defeated and knocked down the infamous Jim Crow laws, America’s home-grown version of apartheid. And I saw how a mass movement ended an unjust war in Vietnam.
Reader Bob White, a Canadian resident and citizen, commented on the recently posted article: Obama’s Health Insurance Bailout Bill of 2009.
Like many Canadians and Britons, Mr. White finds the American conservative’s description of their health system strangely at odds with their usual medical experiences.
I invite any other interested Canadians or Britons (or anybody else, for that matter) to share their reactions, experiences, and opinions. And do click here to see Mr. White’s comments if you haven’t already read them.
Between April 23 and May 5, 2009, the Nanos Research firm, (probably the most prestigious polling firm in Canada) conducted a poll that shows 86.2% of Canadians want public health care to be strengthened and oppose privatization. Although Canadians have their criticisms of Canadian Medicare (Canada Health Act), it is widely popular and enjoys broad public support.
For example, a blogger named Sara Robinson, who contributes to Orcinus and who is a US citizen residing in Canada, weighs in on her personal experiences and impressions of both Canadian- and American-style health care delivery. You can read her blog article called Mythbusting Canadian Health Care by clicking on the title of the piece.
It’s a worthwhile read and backs up what Mr. White and the Nanos Research organization say.
It’s not just our Canadian cousins whom the American anti-reform advocates lambaste. The American health insurance apologists are even more horrified at the UK’s NHS system, perhaps because it actually is socialized medicine, unlike Canada’s system.
For the information of those outside the UK, NHS stands for National Health Service, the British health care program, and although Britons have their gripes about it, they are fiercely proud of it and resent American conservative attacks against it. And when those attacks display ignorance about the facts that are completely obvious to UK residents, many Britons find them to be particularly galling.

1. American Farmhouse – This style was influenced by New England Colonial Houses. For this home style, you may want consider using tall and narrow double-hung windows, installed singly, as bay windows, or in a group.
2. Craftsman Bungalow – This home style emerged from a tradition of Arts and Crafts prevalent in various parts of the country. For this style, you can use double-hung or casement windows. A good color combination to use would be trims that contrast with the color of the frame.
3. French Eclectic – This isn’t a single style but a wide range of styles that have been heavily influenced by French architecture. These homes feature tall, steep-pitched roofs. For windows, you should consider vertically oriented windows that feature grilles.
4. Georgian/Federal – This style marked a turning point in American architecture that popularized stylized, stately, comfortable, and spacious residential designs. The Georgian/Federal style traces its roots from classical Roman architecture. For the windows, you’d want to install tall, simple, double-hung windows that feature a rectangular grille pattern.
If you’re planning to improve the visual appeal of the exterior of your home, replacement windows in Decatur, IL, is your best bet. Make sure you’re matching your replacement window style choices with your home’s architectural design for the most attractive look.

Attorney Newton J. Chu, a director at Torkildson, Katz, Moore, Hetherington & Harris, Attorneys at Law, served as the "driving force" for a new statewide law designed to streamline the approval process for obtaining a liquor license in Hawaii, according to an article about the law featuring an interview with Chu and Gov. David Ige.
Gov. Ige signed the bill (Act 012) into law on April 22 and was joined by state Rep. Clift Tsuji, the Hilo Democrat who sponsored the bill, according to an article published by the Hawaii Tribune Herald of Hilo. Under the new law, publicly-traded companies now only have to submit information about people actively involved in the purchase and sale of a liquor license instead of the company's entire list of officers. Companies can also use tax certificates to verify that the company has paid all its taxes when applying for a liquor license.
Chu praised elected officials for adopting the new law. Speaking with the Hawaii Herald Tribune, Chu said, "I represent numerous publicly and privately owned companies in connection with liquor issues in all counties and believe this bill would benefit the application process in each county."
Chu added, "This bill would create a more business-friendly environment, without jeopardizing the original purpose of ensuring that ex-felons are not involved in the sale of liquor in Hawaii, since it would only apply to publicly owned companies, who are already subject to strict regulation and oversight by the Securities and Exchange Commission and other government agencies."

SUMMARY: Diaries hold the accounts of some of the dearest, most precious moments of our lives. The pleasure of a first kiss, the euphoria of wining a medal or the satisfaction from a commendation all get entered. Ed Buckbee, with Wally Schirra, in their book The Real Space Cowboys share emotional highlights of their own and others from the early U.S. space program. Given that they both have many years of first hand involvement, there are many exciting, warm and funny moments to share just like in reviewing an old diary.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The Mormon Stock Index dropped slightly last week along with all the broader stock market indices. But the individual stocks on the index showed a very mixed picture, with strong increases from some stocks, such as Cadence Design, bucking the overall trend. In addition, other stocks showed significant declines.
Hardest hit last week were Host Marriott, which continued to suffer from the September 11th terrorist attacks in which it lost a hotel and had another heavily damaged, and Oakley, which last week reported earnings significantly lower than expected. Marriott was down nearly 15% for the week, while Oakley shed 20% of its value.
The biggest winner last week was 1-800-Contacts, which reported strong earnings last week, and positive news in its ongoing dispute with contact lens manufacturer Johnson and Johnson. The company reported success with persuading customers to switch eyecare providers to avoid J&J and said it had been added to an anti-trust lawsuit against J&J over its refusal to sell lenses to anyone but doctors. The attorneys general of 32 states brought the lawsuit against J&J.
Overall, 23 of the 33 stocks on the Mormon Stock Index fell last week, while ten rose. The drop leaves the index lower than its initial January 1, 2000 value of 100.

At the beginning of August, Chris and I took a long weekend to drive around the Olympic Peninsula. We stopped at the Hoh Rainforest and Hurricane Ridge, the Olympic Game Farm, took the ferry over to Whidbey Island and drove over Deception Pass, then landed at Tulalip Casino where we lost a bunch of cash (aside from my winnings at a slot machine called Siberian Storm, featuring lots of tigers). It was a great break from work and it felt like an actual vacation! Check out my photo album HERE to see some of the places we stopped.

New Testament scholarship lacks an overall interpretive framework to understand Judean identity. This lack of interpretive framework is quite acute in scholarship on the historical Jesus, where the issue of Judeanness ("Jewishness") is most strongly debated. A socio-cultural model of Judean ethnicity is developed, being a synthesis of (1) Sanders' notion of covenantal nomism, (2) Berger and Luckmann's theories on the sociology of knowledge, (3) Dunn's "four pillars of Second Temple Judaism" and his "new perspective" on Paul, (4) cultural or social anthropology in the form of modern ethnicity theory, and, lastly, (5) Duling's Socio-Cultural Model of Ethnicity.
The proposed model is termed Covenantal Nomism. It is a pictorial representation of the Judean "symbolic universe," which as an ethnic identity, is proposed to be essentially primordialist. The model is given appropriate content by investigating what would have been typical of first-century Judean ethnic identity. It is also argued that there existed a fundamental continuity between Judea and Galilee, as Galileans were ethnic Judeans themselves and they lived on the ancestral land of Israel. Attention is lastly focused on the matter of ethnic identity in Q. The Q people were given an eschatological Judean identity based on their commitment to Jesus and the requirements of the kingdom/reign of God.

Jolie Hodson has been appointed the new chief executive officer of New Zealand telco Spark after the resignation of current chief executive Simon Moutter.
Hodson has been at Spark since 2013, having worked in her current role as customer director since 2016. Her appointment will be effective from July 1.
Spark launched its new OTT platform Spark Sport in March after a major push for sports rights over the last 12 months.
It acquired rights to the 2019 Rugby World Cup last year and has since picked up rights to a host of sports properties, including EPCR Champions Cup, English Premier League, Uefa Champions League and NBA.
New Zealand public-service broadcaster TVNZ and telecommunications company Spark have been linked with a possible joint bid for the domestic rights to games organised by New Zealand Rugby, the governing body of rugby union in the country.

"Welcome these wines into your home now because [...] this estate is a superstar in the making."
"I visited this spectacular property back in May and have been wishing time away waiting for the wines to arrive in the UK. Owner Ambrogio Cremono Ratti, a young man with dauntless vision, and I stood on the terrace of his beautiful house overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, 400m high up in the hills, encircled by lush forests, and he didn’t need to explain to me why this estate (in my rudimentary Italian translates) as Seven Heavens! We literally looked down upon the famous Bolgheri wine region, home to wine giants Sassicaia and Ornellaia, from great altitude, and this situation provides Ambrogio and his dynamic young winemaker Elena Pozzolini, with the perfect, cool climate with which to craft his epic wines. The soils are crammed with rocks and minerals, unlike the fertile plains of Bolgheri, and this imbues the wines with aromatic detail and cool, long, fine acidity. Yantra is a Cabernet / Merlot blend and it doesn’t see any oak. It is sensational with buoyant cherry notes and a long, soothing, mineral-spiked finish. 2012 Indaco (£45.00, down to £37.50 e/a if you buy 6) involves Malbec and also oak and it is one of the stand out wines of the year. Welcome these wines into your home now because production is small and this estate is a superstar in the making."

History is a word based on the words of someone else.
That may have seemed obvious enough, but I figured that it may help to shake the tree and start with something different, for once. For it is also the first time in a while that I have finished a book.
The book in question is Chris Jericho’s ‘Undisputed’, a biography based on the years following his arrival in the WWE all the way to the Second Coming, his return to wrestling at the backend of 2007.
The book proved to be one of my wisest investments in recent times. For one, it is something that would probably be taken for granted. Those familiar with me know of my interest in Chris Jericho. Simply put, he is a fantastic performer on a number of levels. His wrestling skills are accomplished, and he appears to be the kind of wrestler capable enough to go through the number of different styles and matches required. He was also one of the more entertaining speakers on the mic. Funnily enough, I did not read his first book, ‘A Lion’s Tale’, which would be something more properly considered as an autobiography. In that, he charted his rise from his childhood days to the moment of his WWE debut. It got a lot of praise, but I never did get round to buying the book. I don’t know why.
At the same time, I was also interested in Chris Jericho because he pursued his dreams. In ‘Up In The Air’, George Clooney’s character mentioned that children look up to sports stars because they chased after their dreams. In this case, even while he was performing, he toured and performed on a regular basis with his band, Fozzy. They did relatively well, in my opinion, but more than just that, he also pursued an active career in…well, almost everything else. He worked hard to become an actor, auditioning for roles in many different kinds of films and TV shows. For some of them, he was granted his wish, and performed in roles both big and small in TV, film and on the stage. He took acting classes, and even did some stand up comedy.
In short, he showed me that it is not impossible to chase after your dreams. Even if you fail, you will have done more than others.
More to the point of this post, it is a book that is well-written and enjoyable to read. I have not been reading recreationally for a while, only to prepare for my lectures. Reading for fun? Savouring over the words that my eyes layeth upon every few seconds, enjoying the process as these words deciphered themselves into images imprinted on my own psyche?
The book that killed it for me was ‘A Doctor In The House’ by Dr Mahathir Mohamed. It was in the early chapters that I managed to discern a very defensive pose. He was quick to defend himself, taking up a more paranoid position than I had expected. Very quickly, it is clear that while his words are measured and strong, his story and history as we know it won’t exactly lie in bed comfortably with one another.
Rarely do I get so worked up about something so miniscule. The use of footnotes can be helpful in providing more context, but though it is not a favourite of mine, here it becomes even more ridiculous. Why would a book written by a former prime minister of Malaysia require such minor definitions to be included? We would not expect a book written by Western personalities to include such footnotes as “London, capital of England”, do we? How condescending do we want to be to ourselves?
I considered whether MPH, the publishers of the book, wanted to make it more accessible to people who aren’t familiar with Mahathir or Malaysia, but I’d argue that if you aren’t, then you have no business picking up an 800-page tome costing RM100 to begin with. People who are interested in reading his thoughts, in wanting to find out about Tun Mahathir’s side of the story would almost certainly know where Kedah is. Even if you still want to define it further, notes should have been given to the author to alter it to something like “I was born in Kedah, in the northwestern part of Malaysia.” That would have given an opening for Tun Mahathir to perhaps further explain certain ideals that comes with originating from that region. To me, they have a strong and special character, the Kedahans, and that could help to explain why they are responsible for producing so many people who rose to the top in Malaysia.
Because of that, and other such definitions of words such as Agong, UMNO building, Perlis and even titles (“Malays have a complicated system of honorifics that convey esteem and respect”) was enough to piss me off that I did not do any recreational reading for over a month. Since it was a book I borrowed from my father, he has already started to ask some questions about it.
After having finished ‘Undisputed’ in the morning, I closed my eyes, and let the thoughts swirl in my head. The joy of reading had been rediscovered, and as I recover from Jericho’s description of being analised by a metal pole (“It was like getting fucked by Robocop”), I leaned to my right, and saw Dr M’s smiling face at me, egging me on. I reached for it, and started from scratch.
Now I’m at page 97.
regarding the footnotes, it's funny. i lmao. the writer/publisher knew the book would be an instant hit so why bother about those tiny lil details.

You now know me quite a bit more than you did on the first occasion that I wrote you a letter. It has been three months to the day since we first met each other in that bustling Panera Bread on a warm and sunny January day. I’ve had three months filled to the brim with delightful hours spent with my darling, the girl that I love. On this special day I would like to pen a short explanation of the journey that the Lord has allowed me to travel on my search for you. Specifically, why I chose you! Hopefully it will be an encouragement to others along the way.
Through this whole process I continued to grow in my understanding as I immersed myself in the study of God’s Word. Finally, after much study and pondering, it became clear that (at least from our human perspective) God did not have a specific person for me to marry. Rather, instead of searching for a specific woman, I should be searching for specific character manifested in a woman’s life. That meant that I did not have to worry about finding “the right woman for me.” Instead, it was a right woman for whom I should search. Now, certainly God is at work causing all things to work to the good pleasure of His will. That is a truth I will not deny. Yet, that good pleasure is a perspective which I have no access to except through His Holy Word as penned by the Apostles and Prophets. However, this I do know, God’s character, as described in the Bible (e.g. Exodus 34:6-7) ought to be everywhere displayed. And any woman who displays such character is one worthy of great pursuit. That is because one of mankind’s main purposes is to spread the image of God—which is summed up in the character of God—through one flesh, husband and wife relationships (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:24).
Proverbs 31:10 asks, “Who can find a virtuous woman?” A great question! Trust me, it’s not easy! Yet, Boaz did! It is interesting that in the Hebrew Bible, the book of Ruth comes right after Proverbs 31. The reason such a fact is so interesting is because Boaz pronounces to Ruth that “all the city of my people doth know that thou are a virtuous woman” (Ruth 3:11). The same Hebrew word is used to describe the Proverbs 31 woman as is used to describe Ruth! And, by the way, the word, “virtuous,” is talking about the character of a person. Ruth had good character because she obediently lived in such a way that the image of God was displayed in her life. I encourage each woman reading this to discover God’s character as displayed in His Word and seek to display it in your life. I promise you, there is nothing more attractive to a man with Godly character than a woman with Godly character. Neither looks, nor material possessions hold an ounce of water to character! Never forget that fact when you make decisions about how you will live your life.
I didn’t know if I would ever find “my Ruth.” In fact, there were only a few young eligible women I had ever met with this character for which I was searching. Sometimes I wondered if my search was hopeless… but oh, was I ever wrong!
From the moment I met Katrina three months ago, I knew that she was a woman of character. Does that mean that she is perfect? No (though pretty close! ;), and nor am I by any stretch of the imagination. However, that does mean that she is faithful to the Word of God and she displays the image of God by her character. She is kind, compassionate, loving, full of mercy, and judges situations and decisions based on what God considers good in His Word rather than on “human wisdom” or stupidity (as often is the case). Every second more that I observed Katrina, I fell more and more in love with her because of her character. If I may say so, her character is hot stuff!! ;) She is beautiful, has a great personality, is funny, very intelligent, and driven, all of which I love, but none of it compares to the attractiveness of her character.
Let this be an encouragement to you today to live uprightly and in line with the character of God. Nothing is more pleasing to God and more attractive to a man worth having. If you want to know the trick to having a godly man pursue you, look no further than character!
Thank you for the great encouragement!!
WOW. That really touched my heart. Nathan, thanks for sharing!
I loved reading this. Thanks to Nathan for the reminder of what really matters!
thanks so much for this post...it's really good!!

Three beer directors introduce Zephyr (a pre-prohibition–style lager) to Chicago—via California.
Yes, Lagunitas, the much-loved and fast-growing California craft brewery, has been a staple at Big Star since the bar opened, a perfect fit for the Wicker Park spot’s dusty Western-migration theme. Yes, the brewery has earned such a strong reputation for its “really classic, clean styles of beer”—as Ben Fasman, one of Big Star’s managers and beer directors, puts it—that customers are prone to simply order “whatever Lagunitas beer you’ve got on draft.” And yes, when Big Star rolled out its beer dinners, Lagunitas was the first brewery it partnered with, and owner Tony Magee flew in and performed a few bluesy songs in the bar for the occasion.
100 kegs of Zephyr are available for $4 for a 12-ounce pour beginning Monday 6 at Big Star (1531 N Damen Ave, 773-235-4039) and the Publican (837 W Fulton Market, 312-733-9555 ); the remaining 100 will be distributed citywide.
