Gregg prominently recognized as the coach of the San Antonio Spurs. For over 15 years, he led the team and even won third NBA Coach of the Year award in 2014.
Who Is Gregg Popovich Wife?
Holding a professional career while still maintaining a healthy family life is a hard task many fail to achieve. But for Gregg, it was as simple as it seemed. For over 40 long years, Gregg Popovich sustained his married relationship with his wife, Erin.
Gregg and Erin first met each other in their college years when they were attending the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. And from there, they began a bond that and eventually got married in 1976.

In the quest of their romantic journey, they got blessed with two children, son Micky Popovich, and daughter Jill Popovich. Everything was pretty smooth amongst the pair, and they even had surpassed more than four decades of intimacy. But, God had a tragic plan; his wife, Erin sadly passed away in 2018.

Erin, who was born in 1951, was 67 years old when she passed away. And unlike Gregg, she was very private about her life. She declined any requests for interviews and always fancied a life away from the limelight. It was reported that the cause of her death was likely a respiratory issue.
After the death of his spouse, Gregg was depressed by the loss of his beloved lady, which is why he was absent for Game 3 of the Spurs-Warriors N.B.A.
Fast forward to 2019; the 70-years-old man is currently single.
Details On Net Worth; Salary
Since his childhood days, Gregg has always had an interest in Football and Basketball. After he relocated to Merrillville with his parents, he joined Merrillville High School, where he played Basketball and kept on playing well into his days in the Air Force Academy. His love for the game encouraged him to pursue a career in the CIA. Initially, he played for the Armed Forces Team, which he also captained.

Later, in 1973, Gregg began his coaching career when he became the team's assistant coach and kept on coaching college teams. Ultimately, he joined the NBA in 1988 as the assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs. Gregg briefly left Spurs to join The Golden State Warriors but returned to Spurs in 1994. After his return, he served as the general manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations. Following that, in 1996, Gregg took up the role of head coach of the team.
Since then, the East Chicago-native has gone on to achieve wonders with the team. He's won the NBA championships five times and has also been awarded the NBA coach of the year three times.
Along with contributing to the Spurs, Gregg has also provided his contribution to the national team. He's led the USA basketball team in several World Championships. From the 2002 FIBA World Championship to the 2016 Summer Olympics, Popovich's skills had been put to great use.
So, when it comes to Gregg's net worth, a sum of $30 million is a fair sum to be associated with the man. As per the Celebrity Net Worth, he earns the estimated salary of about $8 million.

Q: Placing div vertical middle with parent I want to place a child element vertically with the parent element

<!DOCTYPE html>

 <title>Jajal</title>

Lorem ipsum Amet

Why the img_content class doesn't place verticaly middle with imgbox class when the image is to width?

A: Add following CSS:
.imgbox {
   height: 174px;
   width: 270px;
   overflow: hidden;
   margin: 0 auto;
   background-color: black;
   text-align: center;
   position: relative;
 }

.img_content {
   max-height: 174px;
   max-width: 270px;
   position: absolute;
   transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
   top: 50%;
   left: 50%;
 }

A: Use css3 flexbox. Following css should be added on parent element.
.parent {
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  display: flex;
}

#body {
  font-family: sans-serif, arial, 'Roboto';
}
#outer {
  width: 280px;
  background-color: white;
  height: 253px;
  background-color: #f0f0f0;
}
.imgbox {
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  display: flex;
  height: 174px;
  width: 270px;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 0 auto;
  background-color: black;
  text-align: center;
}
.img_content {
  max-height: 174px;
  max-width: 270px;
}
.titlebox {
  max-width: 270px;
  text-align: center;
}
.title {
  font-weight: 900;
  font-size: 14px;
}

Lorem ipsum Amet

A: There are a lo of ways you could do this. You could wrap he img tag in a div with class of say, wrapper. then the wrapper div would have styling like so :
.wrapper {
       vertical-align: middle;
       display: table-cell;
}

, and remove the display:table-cell, and vertical-align:middle from the image
Working fiddle using another way if you dont wan any changes in the existing CSS
https://jsfiddle.net/mfkxq728/
Also,you could use either of flex(Browser support might be a concern) or the good old relative-absolute position with a translate-Y. The translate-Y would however need browser prefixes for consistent performance.
Cheers !!

Conficker Worm "Offer" Poses New Identity Theft Risk
By Admin on April 13, 2009 12:16 PM
A new version of the Conficker computer worm is disguising itself as an offer for anti-virus software, and computer users who provide their personal and financial information in response to the "offer" can fall victim to identity theft.
According to CNET News, the latest variation of Conficker "is downloading a program called Spyware Protect 2009 and displaying warning messages saying that the computer is infected and offering to clean it up for $49.95." CNET News also offers information about a Conficker Eye Chart that you can use to test your computer for infection.
Conficker can try to worm its way into your computer in a number of ways, including as a pop-up ad offering ant-virus protection, or as spam email. But the only way it can infect your system is if you take some action like clicking on a link or downloading a file. So, the best way to protect yourself and your computer is to avoid clicking on any links or opening any attachment unless you know and trust the source. Learn more at ConfickerWorkingGroup.org.
As of January 2009, the Conficker (or "Downadup") worm was estimated to have infected as many as one in every 16 personal computers, and compromised the security of 33 percent of computers and devices worldwide. A much-talked about April 1st launch of a new form of Conficker passed fairly quietly, but new problems are still cropping up. In addition to the new anti-virus software wrinkle, over 700 campus computers at the University of Utah were recently infected with the Conficker virus, the Associated Press reports. And according to Computerworld: "Windows PCs infected with the Conficker worm have turned into junk mail-spewing robots capable of sending billions of spam messages a day."

Happy 2nd Birthday Zano!
May 9, 2021 • 1 min read
Today we have reason to celebrate, because today is the Zano project's second birthday! We've been so wrapped up in the Atomic Swaps release that we almost forgot about it. As part of our Birthday Week celebrations we'll be hosting a quiz with prizes on our Discord server — more details in the next few days.
A lot has happened since the network went live and the first block was mined on May 8th 2019. From the mobile wallet and auditable wallets releases, the Dev Fund publication and Anton joining the team, up to the new Atomic Swaps release, we've achieved a lot with very limited resources and we couldn't have done it without you all.
We'd like to thank each and every one of you who has been part of our journey so far. Every tweet of support, every joke shared on Discord, every bug reported on Github, every piece of advice given to a struggling miner… each of these hundreds of small acts has contributed to making Zano what it is today and has helped fuel the developers while they worked tirelessly to take Zano to the cutting edge of crypto privacy.
We'll continue to do our best to repay your loyalty and support by giving the project our all, and we're excited to see what we can achieve as we continue to build, learn, improve and grow.
Our collective privacy is under constant attack and it feels like the work we are doing is more important than ever. There are hundreds of legitimate crypto projects, dozens of privacy projects, and you chose us. We won't let you down.
Happy Birthday Zano family! This is just the beginning!

Community Raises $75,000 For Teen Robotics Team After Thieves Steal Gear
Community Rallies Around Inclusive Teen Robotics Team After Thieves Steal Gear, Raises $75,000 in Weekend Fundraiser
By Kristi Eaton | November 11, 2021

Updated Nov. 15
The Howdy Bots robotics team raised $75,000 at their annual telethon — well above the usual $40,000 the event usually brings in. "We suffered a setback when thieves stole tools and electronics from the team," said coach Evan Marchman. "Financially, this was something the team was unprepared to handle. Thanks to the tremendous outpouring of support from the community, the team raised more than $75,000… We are now able to replace the stolen items and made great progress towards fully funding our annual operating costs. Now we can focus on providing this high-quality STEM education program to more students."
When thieves stole $10,000 worth of equipment from the Howdy Bots robotics team in Austin, Texas, they were stealing from kids — whether they knew it or not.
All the things that make a robotics team function — laptops, cordless power tools, and electric crimpers — were among the items taken in October from the shop of the 18-member team.
"That is a pretty hard hit for us," said coach Evan Marchman.
The team is looking to their annual "Howdython" fundraiser this weekend not just to raise money to attend competitions: The Howdy Bots will be working hard raising money to replace what was stolen.
"We need tools," said 16-year-old team member Clay Tomaszewski. "Particularly like drills and other hand tools to actually assemble our robot. Without a drill, how do I make a hole in something that I need a certain size screw to fit in?"
Howdy Bots stands out in the ultra-competitive world of robotics.
"Some teams prefer to have the smartest, most skilled students and will have tryouts for their programs," said Marchman, "but we accept students regardless of ability or disability, both physical or learning."
"A core value of Howdy Bots is inclusion," he said. "We do not turn away students based on grades, skill, lack of experience or school affiliation. Our team meets the student where they are and make any necessary accommodations with the ultimate goals of seeing them make progress in gaining skills and maturity.
"Our only requirements are engagement and commitment on the part of the student."
Howdy Bots
Howdy Bot team members are not affiliated with any one school and may be home-schooled or don't have a team at their school.
Marchman said the team works to be diverse, and currently includes LGBTQ teens. The team is also about equal in its make-up of girls and boys.
Marchman said the focus of Howdy Bots is exposing students who might not otherwise have access to technology at home. Scholarships are offered for low-income students.
The team, which competes across Texas and the world and includes students ages 13-18 in grades 9 through 12, design, program and build 120-pound robots in six weeks, during January and February each year. Competitions take place in March and April.
In addition to robotics, the students also complete programming, computer-aided design, video editing, business and marketing tasks. The team meets all year, with students averaging more than 400 hours of STEM learning during the busiest four months of the year.
They are also introduced to industry veterans, as most of the mentors are engineers or programmers by day.
And it's not just the tools that are needed: Rishisk Boddeti, 15, noted the team members doing marketing and programming need laptops.
"The fundraiser is going to be very important to us this year," Tomaszewski said.
The event will run from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time on Saturday. Click here for more information and a direct link to Howdy Bots' fundraiser live stream.

HomeEntertainmentMet Gala Theme And Co-Chairs Revealed For 2023
Met Gala Theme And Co-Chairs Revealed For 2023
By Abhilasha Shreshthi
A tribute to one of the most influential heavyweights in the history of fashion fits this year's theme of the Met Gala 2023, which is just around the corner.
During the annual Met Costume Institute gala in New York City on May 1, 2023, creative directors, models, actors, designers, and more will take to the red-carpeted steps of the museum to honor all that is art, design, and creativity as they pay homage to all things connected with art, design, and creativity through the annual benefit gala.
In 2023, The Met Gala Theme Will Celebrate The Legacy Of A Legend
It may leave you yearning for something more than the current parade of award show red carpets. There will be more glamour, more extravagance, and more celebrities. Well, the 2023 Met Gala is just a few months away, providing all those things and more. The first Monday in May may have seemed impossible after the last year, which produced two Galas in just nine months, but new information about the next Gala is being revealed daily.
Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty will be the theme of the 2023 Met Gala celebrating the late designer's 65-year career. The event coincides with an exhibition showcasing Lagerfeld's work. The show will feature 150 pieces from Lagerfeld's time at Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel, and his eponymous label, as well as accompanying sketches demonstrating his "unique methodology." Opening Friday, May 5, the week following the Gala, the exhibition will run through mid-July.
As the theme of the event and exhibit is Karl, the Gala dress code should be "In honor of Karl." Although there are many Lagerfeld pieces to choose from, this does not necessarily mean everyone will wear them, and many guests are likely to pull from Chanel, Fendi, and maybe even Patou and Chloé's archives for this event.
Current designers will likely be inspired by Lagerfeld's expansive portfolio and distinctive style if they wish to work with him. As a result, the red carpet this year will be dominated by black ties, starched collars, white ponytails, fingerless gloves, and maybe a Choupette reference.
The Met Gala 2023 Will Be Hosted By An Impressive List Of Renowned Stars
There is a lot of secrecy surrounding the Met Gala's exclusive invitation list. But, of course, this is until the stars are ready to appear on the red carpet for cameras to see what they look like and pose for pictures. There are, however, a couple of celebrities who are announced ahead of time as co-chairs of the event.
This year's extravagant event will be hosted with Anna Wintour by Michaela Coel, Dua Lipa, Penelope Cruz, and Roger Federer.
It has been the first time in a long time since there has not been a designer or business insider in the hosting squad of any kind. This is, as Vanessa Friedman pointed out. During the last two years, Tom Ford has served as host of the annual Gala, while this year, Alessandro Michele will be acting in that role.
Virginie Viard's inclusion on this year's list was rationally possible. She is the current creative director at Chanel, but sadly no designer was included on this year's list.
What Is The Expected Attendance At The Met Gala In 2023?
There are still months before the Gala, so it's hard to predict who will walk the red carpet. Many Chanel girls are likely to attend, including Margot Robbie, Lily-Rose Depp, Kristen Stewart, and Margaret Qualley. There will also be the usual Gala mainstays, including Blake Lively and Sarah Jessica Parker, the Hadid sisters, Paloma Elsesser and Hailey Bieber. We wouldn't be surprised if the Kardashians are back in full force this year.
Lastly, Zendaya hopes to return to the Met Gala after missing the past two years. As well as the fun guests, there will be important ones such as the donors. Of course, there are usually a few wildcards, but we can expect some of the year's biggest stars and brands, like Instagram and YouTube, to buy tables and fill them with their celebrities.
On May 1, the first Monday of the month this year, because Mother's Day falls on that day, the Met Gala will take place as usual. Is there anything better than fashion's biggest night to kick off a new month than this? That's right. How do you feel about this? If you have any thoughts, please share them in the comments section.

This kit is in the Disney 1954 film style rendition of Captain Nemo's vessel.

New for 2015, a Patrol Craft Fast (PCF), also known as a "Swift Boat', in a Limited Edition resin kit from Masterpiece Models.


Just giving a review - we purchased Dri Sleeper Excel in June 2016 for my 5 year old daughter. She would wet through the night and sleep through it. Sometimes even wet twice! I had tried even setting my own alarm and getting up to put her on the toilet. We were both worn out and very tired. She was adamant that she was not wearing pull ups anymore once she turned 5 in Feb 2016. So we have had many months of wetting. Everyday was a chore washing sheets, clothes, kid! We never had this issue with our first child so this was a real eye-opener for us. I discovered your product online and read the fabulous reviews and instantly purchased an alarm. It is the best money I've ever spent. We only had 1 night where she slept through the alarm. We been using for 6 weeks now and are well on the way to no more accidents. In the last 15 days we have had 1 wet night. We are all so happy with the result. Cannot recommend enough!

Q: Why datagrid doesn't show data in rows My datagrid doesn't show data in rows despite that I added data.
Car is list of id of cars.
 DataGridTextColumn col1 = new DataGridTextColumn();
 myDataGrid.Columns.Add(col1);
 col1.Binding = new Binding("id");
 col1.Header = "ID";
 foreach (Car carr in car)
 {
     myDataGrid.Items.Add(carr.ToString());
 }

My xaml file
<DataGrid x:Name="myDataGrid"
          HorizontalAlignment="Left"
          Height="300"
          Width="600"
          VerticalAlignment="Top"
          IsReadOnly="True"
          RenderTransformOrigin="0.52,0.47"
          Margin="100,82,0,0"
          FontSize="15" />

A: Set the ItemSource property of the DataGrid:
    myDataGrid.ItemSource = car;

See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.controls.datagrid?view=netframework-4.8
for more information.
OR
You can use xaml for custom columns:
    <DataGrid x:Name="CARS" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Car}" IsReadOnly="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
        <DataGrid.Columns>
            <DataGridTextColumn Header="ID" Binding="{Binding Path=IdPropertyOfCarObject}"></DataGridTextColumn>
        </DataGrid.Columns>
    </DataGrid>

And in code behind set the data context to the class that has a list of car objects.


If you are walking down the street, seeing what there is to see, you might happen upon a door. If the door has no signage, and nothing to indicate what is behind the door, you probably wouldn't want to open it. Even if the door has a sign that says 'Open Here,' if there is no clear reason to open the door, and if you don't know where the door leads, it's likely you wouldn't bother.
The same is true with links. Why would you want to click a link that says 'click here,' but offers no clue what you're clicking or where it would take you? Why would you bother?
Using 'click here' or similarly nondescript phrases for link text is a poor practice.
'Click Here' doesn't tell a user why they should click here.
'Click Here' implies that a user doesn't know it's a link, or how to use a link.
'Click Here' are wasted words— more descriptive text that uses keywords can help support overarching SEO efforts.
A good linking strategy incorporates both internal linking—linking to other pages on a website—and external linking—linking to pages on other websites. Linking strategy includes elements of design, usability, SEO, and content, and offers benefits in each area as well.
Proper hyperlinks improve the user experience. If links are clear, easy-to-follow, and lead to helpful and relevant information, a user gets more value out of their visit. That equates to a potentially lower bounce rate, since they're finding the information they want. It also improves their perception of your site and your company.
Links are an important facet of SEO. Linking to credible external sites helps indicate that your site is legitimate and reputable. External linking can also invite back-linking, which can do great things for your ranking. Linking to other germane pages on your own site can help improve the pages' visibility to the engines.
Design has a huge roll in a successful link strategy. Links must be easy to identify, and a primary way of accomplishing this is using a different color for links than is used for the rest of the text.
Choosing the correct color for link text is imperative. Blue is the universal link color, but other colors can work as well. The link color must be significantly different.
Other graphic additions can be appropriate. Sometimes a small icon is used to indicate that a link will take a user to a different website. In larger graphic pieces, a link may include an arrow to indicate that a link is presented in a graphic.
If a link shouldn't say 'click here,' what should it say? Links should contain descriptive words that instantly present the reason for clicking.
The words that are used as the anchor text for the link should be descriptive and specific. They must tell a user what they are getting and why should they want it.
Rather than: Click here to review the annual report.
Go with: This years's annual report presents the year's accomplishments.
Rather than: Click here for directions.
Go with: Enjoy driving the scenic route from the church to the reception.
Rather than: Click here for products.
If a link is designed properly, it should be obvious that it's a link. If a link contains the right words, it should be clear where the link will take you. If the link provides value, you may just turn a user into a repeat visitor, a customer, or a closed deal.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain launched a research program on Monday that should eventually allow all cancer patients to have access to the kind of genetic analysis that led Hollywood star Angelina Jolie to decide to undergo a double mastectomy.
The project, involving the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London, the U.S. gene sequencing firm Illumina, geneticists and cancer doctors, aims to find a way to allow more cancer genes be tested in more people.
Researchers announcing the 2.7 million pound ($4 million) project, funded by the Wellcome Trust medical charity, stressed this was not a response to reports last week of Jolie's decision to undergo surgery to reduce her breast cancer risk.
"What we're trying to do here is develop processes that will allow comprehensive and systematic use of genetic information in cancer medicine so that (more people) will be able to benefit from the types of information and situations we were hearing about last week (with the Jolie story)," said Nazneen Rahman, head of genetics at the ICR and a leader on the new project.
Mutations in some genes, known as cancer predisposition genes, greatly increase the risk that a person will get cancer.
Jolie tested positive for a high risk gene mutation that made her about five times more likely to develop breast cancer than women who do not carry this mutation, according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
There are nearly 100 other known cancer predisposition genes, but in Britain - where most healthcare is part of the taxpayer-funded National Health Service - testing for them is currently very restricted.
Yet recent advances in reading the genetic code, known as gene sequencing, mean that looking for gene mutations is now faster and cheaper than ever - paving the way for gene testing eventually to become routine for all cancer patients.
"It is very important to know if a mutation in a person's genetic blueprint has caused their cancer," Rahman told reporters at a briefing in London.
"It allows more personalized treatment, so for example such people are often at risk of getting another cancer and may choose to have more comprehensive surgery, or may need different medicines, or extra monitoring."
The program, called Mainstreaming Cancer Genetics, will use a new Illumina test called TruSight that can analyze 97 cancer predisposition genes within a few weeks for a few hundred pounds, Rahman said.
The new model will be piloted initially in women with breast or ovarian cancer at London's Royal Marsden hospital, but the team hopes it will in future be used across the country and in many more types of cancer.

Modification of saccadic eye movements by GABA-related substances. I. Effect of muscimol and bicuculline in monkey superior colliculus.
Journal name: Journal of neurophysiology (ISSN: 0022-3077)
Our previous observations led to the hypothesis that cells in the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) tonically inhibit saccade-related cells in the intermediate layers of the superior colliculus (SC). Before saccades to visual or remembered targets, cells in SNr briefly reduce that inhibition, allowing a burst of spikes of SC cells that, in turn, leads to the initiation of a saccadic eye movement. Since this inhibition is likely to be mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), we tested this hypothesis by injecting a GABA agonist (muscimol) or a GABA antagonist (bicuculline) into the superior colliculus and measured the effects on saccadic eye movements made to visual or remembered targets. An injection of muscimol selectively suppressed saccades to the movement field of the cells near the injection site. The affected area expanded over time, thus suggesting the diffusion of muscimol in the SC; the area never included the other hemifield, suggesting that the diffusion was limited to one SC. One of the monkeys became unable to make any saccades to the affected area. Saccades to visual targets following injection of muscimol had longer latency and slightly shorter amplitudes that were corrected by subsequent saccades. The most striking change was a decrease in the peak velocity of the saccade, frequently to less than half the preinjection value. Saccades to remembered targets following injection of muscimol also showed an increase in latency and decrease in velocity, but in addition, showed a striking decrease in the accuracy of the saccades. The trajectories of saccades became distorted as if they were deflected away from the affected area. After muscimol injection, the area over which spontaneous eye movements were made shifted toward the side ipsilateral to the injection. Saccades toward the contralateral side were less frequent and slower. In nystagmus, which developed later, the slow phase was toward the contralateral side. In contrast to muscimol, injection of bicuculline facilitated the initiation of saccades. Injection was followed almost immediately by stereotyped and apparently irrepressible saccades made toward the center of the movement field of the SC cells at the injection site. The monkeys became unable to fixate during the tasks; the fixation was interrupted by saccadic jerks made to the affected area of the visual field and then back to the fixation point.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Day 2 of Honeymoon in Iceland: Storm.
After the eventful journey here and a good nights sleep, we wake in our cosy lodge at 8am. We have no food in still (and no drink apart from tap water and some red wine left over from last night) so decide we need to get up and walk to the adjoining hotel for breakfast. We both have our first experience of an Icelandic shower. it's much the same as a shower at home except it smells like someone has farted in your water and then you wash yourself with it. Lovely. As all the water in Iceland is heated geothermaly – the gases make it smell of sulphur (aka fart/rotten eggs).
We notice the weather is extremely windy and we struggle to see the hotel which is 50 metres away up a hill but we kit up into our winter gear and set off to get some breakfast.
As soon as we step outside we are greeted by very strong winds and I can't see a chuffing thing. I follow Chris up the hill and we try to follow the tracks made by the truck last night. As we near the hotel, we loose the tracks and Chris starts heading in a straight line to the hotel. I decide I should follow him to stay safe.
"This snow is getting deep I thought…followed by me screaming as my next step took me into snow which came up to the top of my thigh (yes, I know I'm short but it's all relative and it was very deep in relation to me). I was stuck. the wind was so strong I couldn't balance and was falling further into the snow and Chris was laughing at me in my hour of need. Arse.
Thankfully my big, strong husband stopped being an arse and managed to get out of the snow he was stuck in and rescue me – we find the track again and continue on to the hotel and make it in for breakfast. Safety at last.
The hotel owner Ragna greets us and speaks to us about our journey last night. She said we were very lucky as 30 minutes after we got off the mountain road, it was shut by authorities for being too dangerous to drive on as well as them having to send out search and rescue teams to help stranded people. Well, isn't that a near miss Chris?! She says the car hire people should never have given us a vw polo to hire in this weather as its useless. Like being on a scooter in an ice rink…
She says to give her the info of our no show car hire company and that she will sort it for us. She is really lovely and so helpful.
We ask Ragna about the weather and she says it really is very unusual for them to have this sort of weather. "It's never like this in the south west of Iceland," she says. No, only when we are here it would seem…
We sit and eat breakfast and I've never been so pleased to see a cup of coffee in my life. We eat (I kindly decline the puffin and horse) and then decide to make a move back down the hill. The wind is so strong and constant you can only just stand. We are almost back at the lodhe and I remember there is a big crack in the road I need to step over – being cautious I head slightly left to find a narrow bit to step over…
"GEMMA!!!" I hear Chris shout…"LOOK OUT!!"
"I know, i know," I think to myself, "he thinks I've forgotten where the crack is…" bless him. "GEMMA STOP, YOU'RE ABOUT TO WALK INTO A FROZEN POND!" Christ. I really was. A rather deep frozen pond too. That would've been fun.
We get back to the lodge and it dawns on us we are stuck in for the day. It's a complete white out. Our vw polo which is parked down the hill is half buried in snow so there is no way we will be going anywhere anytime soon…
A bit later, Ragna tells us she has spoken to the car hire people and they are very sorry they messed us about. They're going to pay for our temporary car for us, upgrade us to a 4×4 and also pay for us to have dinner in the hotel. Jolly decent these Icelandic folk – so helpful and can't do enough for you. We could all learn a lot from them.
Anyhow, we sit in the lodge reading, talking (a novelty these days) etc and as we have been told there is a storm today, we decide to stay put and we are told we can have dinner in the hotel at 7:30pm. No lunch for us today, but dinner at least.
About 4 hours into our snow storm, Chris thinks its funny to bring up the film, 'The Shining'. If you're not familiar with it, some folks get stuck in a snow storm in a hotel, someone goes mad and people die. Lovely, that would make most pleasant honeymoon viewing….
He then decides to liken our experience to that film and I laugh nervously as I find the trailer for it online. The setting we are in looks eerily like the film. I feel slightly unnerved…
The wind is so powerful we can't see anything and it's rattling all the windows and doors. We look online and find a news article saying Iceland is in the grip of one of the worst storms in recent times. Hurricane force winds and blizzard conditions. I'm a bit nervous but Chris thinks it fun. "What an experience!" he keeps saying, I think he's beginning to crack…
Chris then smurks at me and turns his phone on and plays me a song – Guns and Roses, 'I used to love her, but I had to kill her' – I have flashbacks to the 2 near death experiences I had earlier in the day in the snow and the fact Chris likened this to The Shining….I think something is happening to him being stuck indoors.
As we have no food or drink in I opt for some water and Chris drinks the remaining wine. We sit down and prepare to watch a movie and then…darkness. No lights, anywhere. The power has gone hasn't it? Yep. Oh bugger.
We sit in the dark and then manage to light a few candles. It's 30 minutes until our dinner reservation. We see the truck come down to our lodge and we are still collected for dinner. We go to the hotel and amazingly the chef is only not able to cook 4 of the 11 dishes on the menu, we have an amazing, warm dinner entirely by candlelight (and phone glow) and look out of the window at the storm. It's not too shabby really!
9:30pm back in the lodge the power is on…oh no it isn't. It was for 3 seconds then gone again and I got prematurely excited about it. Story of my life. Chris found this hilarious…then 5 minutes later, it was back on properly! These Icelanders are literally AMAZING – even in hurricane winds and blizzard conditions, they manage to fix power for us in 3 hours…unlike back home last week when it once took them 16 hours to get our power back on at home in a little bit of a shower.
Lets hope the wind is gone tomorrow and Chris doesn't get any weirder. If I don't write tomorrow, send help.
Onto day 3……


It was so lovely to be back at The Langham in London, to be Emma-Jayne and Grahams wedding photographer for the day. It was a small and intimate wedding, with mainly family members present for the ceremony and wedding breakfast and more friends joining the evening reception.
The Langham is a stunning and romantic venue for a wedding, whether you need the space of The Grand ballroom which can accommodate up to 350 guests, or one of the smaller rooms which holds around 25 guests. They cater for both, offering a very personal touch no matter how large or small your wedding is.
Emma-Jayne and Graham were an absolutely joy to work for, so laid back and easy going. As usual my day started with the bridal and groom preps. Emma-Jayne looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown, with her amazing shoes complementing the colours in the bridal bouquet. Graham was the perfect suave and handsome groom.
After the prep's it was onto the ceremony with both of them exchanging personal memories and pledges which was very moving. I then had a short while to take some bride and groom photographs, a quick move to the front of the hotel gave us some lovely shots and then back inside to warm up. After the wedding breakfast came the fun and emotion of the speeches. The day was rounded off with a reception for family and friends and we left the happy couple dancing and greeting their guests.
It was a pleasure to be able to record Emma-Jayne and Grahams special day for them and their lovely families.
If you are considering having your wedding at The Langham and you like what you see, I would love to hear from you..

5 Troubling Facts Regarding Hit-and-Run Accidents in California
Demas Law Group, P.C. | Hit and Run Accidents
Anyone who has ever been on the wrong end of negligent or reckless driving understands what a terrible experience this can be for anyone. Many people forced into this position are also forced to fight to overcome serious injuries, and some families are forced to overcome the overwhelming grief related to a sudden death or deaths.
These difficult aftermaths are only made worse when those who are injured or grieving family members are forced to fight with the insurance company of the at-fault driver. These situations generally necessitate the involvement of Sacramento accident lawyers who understand what it takes to work on a situation until that insurance company does what is right.
Unfortunately, there are too many people who are badly injured in California car accidents and families of people who are killed who are not even able to identify the at-fault driver's insurance company because they are unable to identify the at-fault driver. Hit-and-run accidents occur at an alarming rate in California, and people who suffer because of them are often unaware of what they need to do to make sure that they properly enforce their legal rights. Below are five troubling facts regarding these crashes.
More than 19,000 people are injured annually in California hit-and-run accidents.
In a state with 35 million residents, this may not seem like a large number. However, that equates to more than 52 people per day and to more than two people every hour being injured somewhere in California.
Nearly 7,000 people are injured in California hit-and-run accidents because of rear-end collisions.
Once again, 7,000 may seem like a small number, but more than 19 people are injured every day when they are rear-ended by another driver and that driver proceeds to flee the scene of the crash. That's nearly one person every hour.
Nearly 150 people are killed in California hit-and-run accidents every year.
Nearly three people are killed every week in hit-and-run crashes in the state. Fleeing the scene of a fatal car accident is a serious crime. Being convicted of such a charge can lead to a lengthy prison term if a suspect is convicted.
More than 80 of these fatalities result from pedestrian hit-and-run accidents.
This is truly a surprising statistic, as most people do not visualize pedestrians being injured in this type of crash. However, more than half of all of the people killed in California hit-and-run crashes were traveling on two feet when they lost their lives in a given year.
Too many people injured in hit-and-run crashes do not enforce their legal rights.
People who are injured in California hit-and-run crashes and family members of those who are killed often believe that there is really nothing that they can do if the driver involved in the crash is not found quickly. As such, many claims will not be pursued and victims will be forced to deal with their losses alone. If you or someone you love has been injured in a hit-and-run accident, contact the Demas Law Group, P.C., immediately to schedule a free initial consultation.

Spotify putting more weight behind podcasts with movie new deal - The UpStream
Spotify putting more weight behind podcasts with movie new deal
posted Sunday Sep 27, 2020 by Scott Ertz
There's no denying that in the past few years, podcasts have grown in popularity. When we got started, there was a small number of shows and a small audience for them. But, today, everyone knows the word and the number of shows has grown to an unbelievable point. The lockdown has had an interesting effect on the market, with some listenership down and some significantly up.
This rapid growth over the past few years has led to a lot of new investments from some of the largest tech and media companies. Google leaned hard into podcasts with Google Podcasts. That move took podcasting from a minimal aspect of Google Play Music to its own focused product. Apple did the same thing, creating Apple Podcasts. Spotify and Amazon have both introduced podcasting into their platforms, as well. But, Spotify has put the most emphasis on it in their business.
Not only has Spotify added podcasts to their catalog, but they have also gotten involved in the creation process by purchasing Anchor, a second-tier hosting and production company. They have also put a lot of money into exclusive podcasts (which technically aren'y podcasts, but we don't exactly have a term for this, so we'll ignore it). These shows include The Joe Rogan Experience, one of the most popular podcasts on the internet.
Now, the company has dedicated even more resources into the space with a deal to produce video projects. According to a report from Deadline, they have entered into an agreement with Chernin Entertainment to turn Spotify projects into movies and TV shows. Two shows, Blackout and The Clearing , have already been agreed upon, with one starring Rami Malek from Mr. Robot .
Audio dramas are a small portion of the number of podcasts but have taken a larger portion of the listenership. The change may have something to do with the lockdown and the lack of new episodes of scripted dramas on television and movies. We'll see how this move works out over time.
September 27, 2020 - Episode 574
Sunday Sep 27, 2020 (01:22:43)
This week, Amazon's flying in your home, Microsoft's expanding its catalog, and Spotify's adding video to its audio.
Amazon has a bonkers lineup of new Alexa and Ring devices coming
It's that time of year where tech companies are making their announcements for the next generation of their products - just in time for holiday shopping. While these announcements may look different this year from past events thanks to the lockdown, most of the products are what we expect - incremental updates to existing prodicts. Amazon decided to take a different approach from the likes of Apple and announced some legitimately new prodicts, or big new features to existing lines.
Bethesda now an Xbox Game Studio after $7.5 billion ZeniMax purchase
One of the largest and best-known game studios, Bethesda, just became a part of the Xbox Game Studios after the purchase of parent company ZeniMax Media by Microsoft for $7.5 billion. This purchase brings some heavy hitter AAA franchises under the Microsoft umbrella, including Fallout , Elder Scrolls , DOOM , Quake , and Wolfenstein .
Xbox pre-order process was also a mess, but there could be justice
This week, pre-orders for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S opened up, and things did not go well for the company. Similarly to the PlayStation 5 pre-orders, websites crashed as people tried to get their pre-orders in. A lot of traffic online, like with the PS5, came from a pre-order bot designed originally to snipe sneakers. This bot is the backbone of a subscription service that allows people, for a monthly fee, to snag pre-orders without being bound by unit count restrictions and other rules.
Google to limit Chrome extensions further, removing paid option
Apple revitalized the idea of app stores with the release of the iPhone, but Google revitalized the almost dead idea of browser extensions with Chrome. The company made the ability to add custom capabilities to the browser the next frontier in web technologies. Developers released features, both public and private, expanding upon the abilities of the browser. The most common extensions have been ad blockers, but the range is huge. You can get Amazon price comparisons, spelling corrections, and even content automation.

"Breathing" in The New Yorker
"On weekends, my husband and I are in a house near a lake, surrounded by woods. We are miles away from everything. When we wake up there, it is to silence, and for some time on those mornings we lie still, letting the day gather around us, listening to each other breathe."
Teaching "Madam Bovary"
"Each fall, I teach Madame Bovary to my graduate writing students at Hunter College, and each fall I read it with them. My course is called Introduction to the Modern: The Role of Compassion. So we look at modernism, and how it disrupts the literary world, and at compassion, and how it expands the soul. I ask my students a fundamental question about intention: Does Flaubert want us to feel contempt or compassion for his characters?"

Pinup-Style Artistic Nudity
Erik Drudwyn is an American artist who produces extraordinary nude and erotic work primarily in charcoal and pastel. From an early age he was artistically compelled by the female form.
Drudwyn's road to a career in art was by no means without obstacle. Born in 1968 in Colorado and raised in Wyoming, he began taking a serious interest in drawing at age thirteen. His mother was an artist, so he certainly had a family environment that encouraged artistic activity, but the boy felt that Wyoming was not the ideal place for an aspiring young artist to develop.
In his youth, he spent time at the library reading about and studying the works of acknowledged "masters" and time at home drawing from adult and fashion magazines. It wasn't until later that his passion receive due attention. He felt that he was required to spend a lot of time drawing other, less interesting, subjects for school and family.
Erik blossomed when he entered the Colorado Institute of Art after high school. There he developed his understanding of anatomy and had the opportunity to draw from live models. This was more in line with his artistic ambitions than high school projects, and he felt that the first half year at art school was more educational than his entire previous experience. He graduated in 1989 with high hopes of a career in art but was frustrated at the difficulty of finding full-time work. Few people of influence took interest in his artwork and after years of restaurant work Erik joined the Marines.
The artist believed that art would be a simple leisure pursuit until a fellow Marine commissioned him to do a painting, which was shown around the base and led to more commissions. Still, it took a few years of post-Marine life enjoying the pleasures of rural Wyoming on his mountain bike to bring him completely around to the idea of dedicating himself to a career in art. As he describes it: "In 1998, I started back up with a new fervor to 'make beauty' and I have no plans of stopping ever again."
In this case "make beauty" is a direct reference to his teenage realization that such was the artist's exciting mission. And "making beauty" is certainly what Drudwyn has been successfully doing. His works are beautiful renderings of models in various erotic poses. He is capable of an almost shocking degree of realism with pastels and is a master of light and shadow. If commercial success were directly proportional to technical skill, it is questionable whether Erik would have ever spent time in the Marines.
In creating his art, Drudwyn references the work of several important photographers: Stephen J. Hicks, Martin Perrault and Mark Daughn receive special acknowledgment on his website. The list of models that have served as subjects includes many names that may be familiar to fans of erotica, including Allison Angel, Sandee Westgate, Angela Taylor, Aria Giovanni, Julie Strain, Eve Ellis and Roxanne Galla. Erik has managed to translate this beauty into a considerable number of pieces in the decade since he committed himself full-time to art.
A variety of influences have gone into the art that Drudwyn now produces. He mentions big names in the erotic art world such as Anthony Guerra and A.D. Cook as well as a host of others, including Charles Dearing, Sebastien Serrano, Ray Leaning, Barbara Jensen, Kris Hoglund and Lara Adams. Erik also gives a special nod to the work of Russian and Ukrainian artists like Nicolai Fechin.
A visit to the artist's website will reveal an excellent gallery of his pinup works, many of which are shown at various stages of completion. This gives a great sense of exactly how painstaking the process is and how he builds his realistic compositions up in layers. There are also a few non-pinup works that celebrate the rural landscape where Drudwyn has spent so much of his time. Prints of many of his works can be purchased through his website. The majority of these are published by Erik himself, although several have been published by Robert Bane Editions.

Christmas embroidery kit - Make Merry! Choose from moss, grey, or sand, and create the perfect Christmas decoration or gift. *Please note: MOSS green is slightly different fabric than the SAGE green we offered last year. If you are trying to match fabric from previous kits, I have a small quantity of the old fabric reserved and can accommodate if possible. Please convo me to discuss!
Please note: the BASIC kits do not come with an embroidery hoop. You will need your own hoop to complete the project. A 6" hoop is needed for this pattern.

I've made a couple of other I Heart Stitch Art embroidery kits, so I was excited to discover the Christmas collection. Planning to make and use as a wall decoration. Lovely design. High-quality materials. Quick shipping. Oh, and the packaging this kit arrived it... I re-wrapped everything up after I opened the box, just because it was so darn cute and adorable!!!
