Sam Turner's fifteenth summer is a revelation. He receives the flirtatious attention of the girl next door, Suzie Epstein, and his mother abandons their family without explanation. His older brother Michael (a serious, studious freshman in college with big plans for his life) and their father (an attorney) seem to accept her absence with no questions asked. Sam, however, feels adrift, and struggles to understand how a person you thought would always be there can be suddenly and inexplicably gone.
Over the years, the bonds that formed in childhood between Sam and his tight knit group of friends prove to be remarkably resilient as they stumble into adulthood. In alternating voices, THE GROWN UPS explores the deep connection that forms between friends as they navigate parents, siblings, lovers, and each other. A potent commentary on friendships and families, THE GROWN UPS is about that time in life when we realize that friends have become family and family has become friends.
Full of love, loss and laughter, THE GROWN UPS is a story about the circumstances and people that influence, change and push you to discover not only the truth about each other, but who it is that you really want to be when you grow up.
Robin Antalek's characters feel so vivid, so fully known, you'll swear you grew up in their close-knit neighborhood along with them. Fans of Meg Wolitzer's The Interestings and Joanna Hershon's A Dual Inheritance will love this thoughtful exploration of the warp and weft of our closest relationships. Here is a portrayal of that mystery at the heart of modern life: what it means, in a world of bad influences and clueless parenting, to actually become a grown-up.
"In these pages, you'll find first kisses and secret loves. You'll find front porches and backyards, a time that doesn't quite belong to us anymore. You'll find old mistakes and new mistakes. The different ways, all our lives, we continue to grow up. Ultimately, you'll find a book about families and friendships that was written with great love."
"A story filled with forgiveness and unmistakable hope."
Robin Antalek's The Grown Ups is a celebration of resiliency and the bonds of friendship. When a cluster of neighborhood kids reunite at turning points in their lives, they are humbled by a world they thought they could manage better than their parents. Antalek's unflinching but merciful lens illuminates a tender beauty in life's ups and downs, in the compassion born of heartache and failure, and in the gratitude owed to those who provide companionship and shelter along the way. A story filled with forgiveness and unmistakable hope.
"The Grown Ups is a highly relatable, fiercely readable, and deeply satisfying tale about the families we don't choose, the history that binds us, and the evolving relationships that shape our lives. Antalek writes with a clear eye, a deft touch, and a big heart."
"When it comes to achieving and sustaining tone, [Robin Antalek] is an absolute genius."
What Robin Antalek does better than anyone else is locate the pivotal moments of life in everyday events, and then charge those moments with rich, powerful and authentic emotional resonance. When it comes to achieving and sustaining tone, she is an absolute genius. I ache for Sam Turner, the lost soul at the heart of this, Antalek's soaring second novel, just as hard as I did for the Haas family in her stunning debut, The Summer We Fell Apart. The Grown-Ups is about absence and fulfillment, about hunger and nourishment, about loss and being lost—a haunting and unforgettable book.


Aaron Desmond, son of Mike and Jamie Desmond, is a junior at Battle Ground Academy and a member of the varsity swim team.
He competes in both the 50 and 100 freestyle.
This season, his biggest highlights were achieving a time of 24.2 seconds in the 50 freestyle and 54 seconds in the 100 freestyle.
Desmond said that he started swimming after a friend who was a swimmer encouraged him to try it.
When asked what inspires him to train and compete, he said that knowing he is so close to making state in the 50 meter freestyle pushes him to keep going.
One of his biggest role models and inspirations is P.K. Subban, a professional hockey player for the Nashville Predators. He said he looks up to him because of his work with charities and how hard working he is.
After graduating from BGA next year, he plans to attend The University of Tennessee at Knoxville to pursue a degree in architecture.

Not to touch Mendelssohn's books? Inspirational. Not to wear a sheitel? Not so inspirational.
An important external hard drive of mine may have died. This is bad news for me. So posting may be a little sparse. Or maybe not. We'll see what happens.
The Chasam Sofer, like many Jews, wrote a so-called Ethical Will. An Ethical Will is like a Last Will and Testament, only it does not focus on worldly possessions. Instead it gives instruction to family or disciples. The Chasam Sofer's ethical well (henceforth "Testament") contained the following clause:
בנותי וכלותי השמרו לכם חלילה וחלילה לגלות טפח מבשרכם ע"י קיצורת המלבושים כנהוג ח"ו לא תהיה זאת בגבול ביתי ומכ"ש שתזהרו מריעות נשים רעות שמוציאים אפילו שער א' חוץ וגם בפאה נכרית אני אוסרכם איסור גמור
"My daughters and daughters-in-law, guard yourself lest you, God forbid, reveal a handsbreadth of your skin in revealing dresses, which are popular, God forbid. . . . and I also forbid you to wear a wig, with a total prohibition."
The Chasam Sofer's ethical will, addressed to his family (it begins, "My sons, daughters, children-in-law, and grandchildren, listen [to my words] and live . . ."], was read at his funeral before a large public. Thus, although it is addressed to his family, it was clearly seen by those close to him (= whomever was responsible for the proceedings of the funeral) as something for the public to hear, if not heed. The contents were not only read publicly, but reported only a month later in the Israelitische Annalen #45, November 8, 1839, pg. 354.
In this Testament he instructed his family not to join with Reformers and not to read books by Moses Mendelssohn. [Instead?] it is most important to study and teach your children Tanach with Rashi, and Torah with Ramban. Next he asks them to remain firm in their principles even in the face of hunger and poverty. The women [in the family] should read nothing but books printed in Judeo-German, and only works based on Aggadah. None may attend the theater. No one should grow proud or haughty. They should study Torah diligently, and teach it publicly. They should not change their name, language or clothing, that is, not to imitate the ways of Gentiles. Then he tells them not to be anxious because he has not left them wealth, for God will have mercy on them and provide for them. Next, not to use the Torah as a means of glorifying themselves, or a means for making money. They should not become a traveling Maggid for pay - they should stay in their place. Finally, do not say that times have changed. We have an old Father - God - who does not and will not change.
Also at his funeral, another Testament addressed to the *community* of Pressburg, was read. This one contained one appendix addressed to the females of his family, and another to the males of his family and his students. This second part, asked his community to never appoint a rabbi who breeches tradition, and not to allow the rabbinical post to remain vacant more than two years. It also asks them to appoint a humble man, and to continue funding Torah studies in the same manner as they always have.
The next section, with which I began this post, addressed to the women in his family, specifically asks that they dress modestly, specifically that they never let a hair on their head show, and that they must not wear a wig.
Then his sons and students are addressed, and they are asked to be careful to keep his yeshiva running as it always has, and he expresses the preference that his son Avraham Shmuel Binyamin be officially appointed its rosh yeshiva - and this led to his appointment as rabbi of Pressburg at the funeral itself!
In 1860 the complete will was published by R. Akiva Yoseph Schlesinger, who was then in his early 20s, with a Yiddish translation in the beginning of his book Naar Ivri, and has been reprinted in whole and part many, many times since. Note the "הָאארשַייטֶל."
Several years later Schlesinger reprinted the will with a very lengthy commentary, transforming a text of a few paragraphs - it takes up 8 pages, including the Yiddish translation in Naar Ivri - into a book of about 150 pages. In the introduction, he writes that when he was a yeshiva student, a friend asked him why he refrains from using Mendelssohn's Chumash. Citing the will, the friend pointed out that it is only for the Chasam Sofer's family. Schlesinger replied that allthough he knows full well that the Chasam Sofer's Testament is addressed to his family, he nevertheless is glad to consider himself bound to follow its commands. Why? He reasons that surely the Chasam Sofer loved his family and was concerned for their souls, and this is what he advises them to do. Doesn't Schlesinger love himself? If so, wouldn't he be sensible to follow the prescriptions of the Chasam Sofer for those whom he loved?
In any case, agree or disagree with this logic, it seems clear that the bulk (and frankly, the best part) of the will is addressed solely to his own family, with a small part addressed to his community. Nevertheless, his instructions to his family were also promulgated in a most public fashion.
Through Artscroll, Rabbi Moshe Bamberger published a very interesting book called Great Jewish Letters: A Collection of Classic and Inspirational Writings of Torah Personalities. This book contains Bamberger's translations of all or part of many letters, drawn from Geonic to contemporary times. The section called Ethical Wills contains 9 specimens, the first one by the Ramban, and the next nine from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
On page 38-40 the Chasam Sofer's will appears, more specifically, only the first part. In a way that's understandable. Even though the second part is actually addressed partly to the public, the first part is where the meat is. The second part, even though it contains spiritual matters, is basically business. For the Chasam Sofer, the proper way of appointing a rabbi is business; the proper way of maintaining his yeshiva is business; the modest dress of the female Schreibers is business. So in that sense I can understand why it only translated the first part of the will. Nevertheless, one does notice that the second part forbids in the strongest possible terms the women from wearing sheitlach. So my conspiracy theory is this: Not to touch Mendelssohn's books? Inspirational. Not to wear a sheitel? Not so inspirational.

Intresante. The debate about ethical wills applying so tp speak to those outside the family is also found with the will of Rav Yehuda Hacahssid. [Fred's fave part: if you see a cannibal zombie witch, put dirt in its mouth.]
Rabbi Jack Riemer put out a pretty good collection of ethical wills about 15-20 years ago.

I like the contrast between the Mendelssohn line and the sheitel. Within Orthodoxy Mendelssohn has been almost completely exorcised in the 165 years since this will was written. Most people probably don't even understand why he mentions it, such a davar poshut (and this is of course assuming that he meant Remad and not Chemed). But the fact that it is there shows the actual situation, which was that Mendelssohn was in "need" of exorcising. By contrast, it's hard for most people to understand the vehemence against the sheitel.
As for my hard drive, it was my second brain. So that's not good.

So sorry to hear. Perhaps you missed this post.
Student V 9:53 PM, April 03, 2011
Remad and chemad? Please explain.
Argh. I just lost a lengthy comment.
Basically, there is some doubt as to whether or not the key word is רמד or חמד, the reason for the ambiguity being the graphic similarity of ר and ח in the Ashkenazic semicursive (both can look very much like an upside down u). If it's a resh then it says sifrei remad, which mean Mendelssohn's books. If it's a ches then it says sifrei chemed, which means novels or maybe even romance novels.
The document itself appears to support the reading of chemed, since if you look at it (or pictures, since I think the only thing which exists are photos of the original, and written *copies*) it actually seems to say chemed. However, it is immediately noticeable that the ches in this word looks a little different from all the other cheses in the document, which leads one to believe that it was altered by hand. On the other hand, this style ches actually matches an earlier hand writing of the Chasam Sofer of 20 years earlier, which makes it conceivable that he really did write it as a ches.
Then there is the question of the simanim above the word, which makes it look like an acronym, which of course means that it must be Remad. Possible response: simanim were not only used for acronyms. There's loads of evidence that in earlier times they were used the way we italicize, for example. See the loazim in Rashi, and there are numerous examples right on through the 19th century.
Then the issue gets into questions regarding testimony by his own children and students, some of whom supported one reading and some the other. It also gets into questions of how reliable such testimony is, since it comes secondhand.
Then it gets into semantics, like the fact that "tishlechu yad" rhymes with "sifrei remad" but not with "sifrei chemed. But who says the Chasam Sofer couldn't possibly make a mistake? (Plenty of people, but that's not the point.) Some people also consider the idea that it is speaking about novels to come way out of left field - although there is some second hand testimony that one of his daughters read novels. Furthermore, in the next clause he counsels to read Rashi and Ramban, so it seems like "sifrei (r)emad" are in contrast to that. i.e., don't read the Beur, but read Rashi and Ramban.
But, you can make the case that novels actually make sense, as later in the will he commands the females to read only works in Yiddish Teitsch script, based on Aggadah. I'm not sure if I can make a good case for the order of "sifrei chemed" in this case, but it's not really out of left field entirely.
If you're interested in more on this topic that has been done over, and over, and over please email me. db min 9 @ a o l . com
Thank you for that explanation. If there are other places you will point me to, to avoid having to write further on the subject, that is fine too!

White House Issues Executive Order Expanding "Buy American" Program
Directs Agencies to Promote Use of Domestic Materials in all Federally Funded Infrastructure Projects
Ronald A. Oleynik | Jonathan M. Epstein | Antonia I. Tzinova
The White House has issued a new Executive Order designed to promote the use of American-made products in all infrastructure projects receiving federal funding, another step in the Trump Administration's Buy American policy.
The Executive Order requires federal agencies to develop programs within 90 days for encouraging the use of iron, aluminum, steel, cement, and construction materials made from aluminum, plastics, polymer-based products, glass, optical fiber and lumber produced in the United States for all federally funded infrastructure projects.
Federal agencies are also required to submit a report within 120 days to the Assistant to the President for Trade and Manufacturing Policy, describing additional policies that could or do encourage the use of American-made products in infrastructure projects receiving federal assistance.
President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order (EO) on Jan. 31, 2019, expanding upon the "Buy American and Hire American" EO issued in April 2017. The new EO, "Strengthening Buy-American Preferences for Infrastructure Projects," further reinforces the Buy American elements of the previous EO by mandating that federal agencies encourage recipients of federal financial assistance to use domestically produced products for widely defined infrastructure projects. The products subject to the EO include iron, aluminum, steel, cement and other construction materials made from aluminum, plastics, polymer-based products, glass, optical fiber and lumber "Produced in the United States."
Overview and Scope
The EO defines "Produced in the United States" to mean, for iron and steel products, that "all manufacturing processes, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, occurred in the United States." The EO does not provide a clear definition as to what constitutes "Produced in the United States" for the other products covered in the Order. However, it appears likely that the intent of the EO is to require the entire manufacturing process of other products to occur within the U.S. as well.
The scope of the EO reaches beyond federally issued contracts to federal financial assistance programs, including grants, cooperative agreements, non-cash contributions of property, direct appropriations, food commodities and other financial assistance that a federal agency provides to a state or local project.
The type of infrastructure projects targeted in the EO is broad and includes technology such as broadband internet, energy production, electrical grid infrastructure, and stormwater and sewer infrastructure, as well as more traditional projects such as roadways, bridges, railroads, airports, ship channels, pipelines and ports. The inclusion of high-tech as a focus of the EO is especially evident in its specific requirement that optical fiber materials be domestically produced. This policy remains consistent with the Trump Administration's focus on shifting the manufacture of technology back to the U.S. in an effort to avoid future reliance upon foreign sources for the production of critical infrastructure and building supplies.
Importantly, the EO clarifies that it does not alter or impair existing programs promoting the use of American-made products and is not intended to displace existing applicable law on the issue of federal procurement. The existing domestic preference laws governing the procurement of goods include:
The Buy American Act – which creates a preference for U.S.-made goods, meaning that the cost of domestic components of an end product must be 50 percent or more of the product's cost
The Trade Agreements Act – which creates an exception to the Buy American Act for certain countries with which the United States has entered a trade agreement, allowing products "substantially transformed" in those designated countries to be treated as domestic products
The Buy America Acts – a series of laws that impose preferences and restrictions similar to those found in the Buy American Act on federally funded projects, primarily those funded by the modal administrations of the U.S. Department of Transportation
The Berry Amendment – a U.S. Department of Defense-specific requirement that imposes a 100 percent domestic content restriction on enumerated items such as textiles, food and certain hand tools in procurement
Although the EO does not provide enforcement mechanisms or specific purchasing targets, it directs all federal agencies, within 90 days, to implement programs designed to encourage recipients of new federal financial assistance awards to use iron, aluminum, steel, cement and certain construction materials "Produced in the United States" for covered infrastructure projects.
The new EO also requires each agency to issue a report within 120 days to the Assistant to the President for Trade and Manufacturing Policy, describing any "tools, techniques, terms, or conditions" that have been or could be used in furtherance of the Buy American program. The current officeholder, Peter Navarro, is expected to press a strict domestic preference policy. The purpose of the report is to consider additional policies to maximize the use of certain domestically produced products in the performance of contracts, subcontracts and purchase orders related to federally funded infrastructure projects. The reports must also include additional details pertaining to the strategy that each agency intends to utilize to encourage the use of American-made products.
Considerations and Takeaways
Manufacturers, contractors and suppliers performing work that receives federal funding, directly or indirectly, must pay close attention to the EO and develop an understanding of the domestic preference laws. Additional attention should be paid to the upcoming agency-level policies to be issued during the next 90 to 120 days that are meant to encourage the Buy American program for all infrastructure projects receiving federal assistance. As the new EO highlights, enforcement of preference laws is a top priority of the current Administration.
Beyond watching for future developments, the first step in meeting these domestic performance requirements is determining which rule applies and then matching the facts to the rule. The second step is to develop internal controls to ensure the integrity of supply chain practices focusing on products that meet the particular domestic preference rule at all meaningful stages. Holland & Knight's International Trade Group will continue to monitor this policy and issue additional alerts as the agencies provide further clarification in response to the EO's mandate.

The Micro Suction Ear Wax Removal Network more than happy for clients to reserve an consultation to assess the requirement for elimination of ear wax by mild syringing. The practice utilizes an electronic ear syringing device that is more comfy for clients. Patients with unexpected hearing loss or a history of ear discharge or a previous perforated eardrum should see their physician initially. It is often required to soften ear wax by initially utilizing ear drops for a week ahead of time. Chemists will more than happy to advise you of the sort to buy though a small amount of warmed olive oil is generally enough.
Ear Wax removal and ear cleaning may not be the most interesting topics we have actually discussed, however numerous clients, in Hertfordshire and further afield, are now relying on the Microsuction Ear Wax Removal Network for very same day help. So, this year the Microsuction Ear Wax Removal. Network has actually turned its attention to ear wax and ear cleansing! Under the National Institute of Scientific Excellence standards, numerous GP practices are no longer supplying wax elimination and ear cleaning services, as syringing (specifically in inexperienced hands) can trigger trauma to the ear.
Earwax build up is a very typical problem. When people try to clean their ears with cotton bud, or other objects, it can press wax more deeply into the ear and trigger obstructions. Wearing hearing aids, earplugs or earphones can likewise increase the risk. Some individuals naturally produce excess earwax and have more issues with build up and obstructions.

Bill Evans – New Jazz Conceptions
At the time this album was recorded in 1956, Bill Evans was a pianist known only to a few insiders and those fans who had heard him featured with George Russell and Tony Scott. An introverted personality who felt unready for the spotlight, Evans had to be persuaded that his personal harmonic and rhythmic sense and his profound lyricism were worthy of a full showcase on one of the era's leading independent labels. Fortunately he consented and this strong session, featuring future Evans trio drummer Paul Motian and the initial recording of signature compositions "Waltz for Debby" and "Five," turned out to be the first chapter in one of the most acclaimed and influential careers in the history of jazz and the piano trio. - Concord Music
"Bill Evans' debut as a leader found the 27-year-old pianist already sounding much different than the usual Bud Powell-influenced keyboardists of the time. Even in 1956 (more than a year before he joined the Miles Davis Sextet), Evans had his own chord voicings and a lyrical yet swinging style." - AllMusic

NAHL Exclusive: Record-Breaking Execution
It's September and that means a lot of things. For some, it's apple-picking time, for others it's back to school.
For the North American Hockey League (NAHL), it's the month when the players of the nation's longest-lasting junior hockey league really get on the map with NCAA Division 1 colleges.
After all, it is the month of the NAHL Showcase in Blaine, Minn., when every one of the NAHL's 23 teams will hit the ice over the better part of a week in front of NCAA and NHL scouts.
This is, for many players, their introduction to exposure at the highest levels of college and pro hockey – and it works. The NAHL saw 305 college commitments (to both NCAA Division 1 and 3 levels) from September 2016 through August 2017 for its 2016-17 players, an all-time high for the only Tier-2 junior hockey league fully sanctioned by USA Hockey.
That brings the league's record to 1,200 players committed in the last five years.
From the Showcase in Blaine, the NAHL season continues with hard-hitting, offense-packed hockey played in as far-flung locations as Fairbanks, Alaska, Corpus Christi, Texas, and east to Attleboro, Mass., in the heart of New England. Each May, the Robertson Cup is lifted by one team that goes through the grind of such a season, impressing the college and pro scouts as they go with their tenacity.
"The number of commitments is impressive and validates the NAHL as a legitimate proving ground for prospects wishing to showcase their talents," said Frank Serratore, the 21-year head coach of the Air Force Academy's NCAA Division 1 team. "Prospects and their parents need look no further than the 300 commitments to recognize the NAHL as the league of opportunity and a springboard to college hockey."
No other league in the United States had as many college commitments made by players while they were playing in that league in 2016-17 than the NAHL.
"How do we get to over 300 commitments? I think it goes back to our owners investing in their coaches and their communities," said NAHL Commissioner Mark Frankenfeld. "Those coaches and communities are, in turn, attracting more top-end players and they're doing it more efficiently, really getting on the ground and in the trenches to identify talent and develop that talent."
The 305 college commitments smashed the previous league record of 259 made by 2015-16 players. At this pace, the NAHL should pass 1,500 commitments over six seasons by the time the dust settles after the 2017-18 season.
"We were fortunate last year to have a record number of players [16] commit to schools," said Scott Langer, head coach of the Aberdeen Wings. "The strength of the league as a whole definitely plays a part in that. The NAHL has established itself as a legitimate destination where players can get the growth they need to move to the next level, and the record college numbers across the league are proof of that."
"It is an incredible number [300] and an achievement that only one other junior hockey league in North America, the USHL, can match," said Rick Bouchard, the President of the Johnstown Tomahawks. "It is a testament to everyone who works hard to make it happen, including the owners, the coaches, the NAHL staff, but most importantly, the hard work of the players."
Serratore said that he and his staff put a lot of focus on the NAHL's players, as they are playing at the top level of USA Hockey leagues available for uncommitted players. NAHL players have helped the Falcons win the Atlantic Hockey Association six times and make the same number of NCAA tournament appearances. Last March, Air Force knocked off Western Michigan to advance to the national tournament quarterfinals for the second time in eight years.
"We dabble in other leagues, but the NAHL is our bread and butter," said Serratore. "We as a staff scout the league the entire year, watching a large number of games both in person and online. We will begin the 2017-18 season with 25 NAHL alumni on our Air Force roster. I doubt any other Division 1 program in the country can come close to matching that number."
Along with getting talented hockey players on the ice, Air Force's NAHL players have helped the hockey team stand as either No. 1 or No. 2 academically on campus the last 20 years. "Winning championships and achieving in the classroom endorses both the caliber of athlete and the quality of people the NAHL is producing," Serratore added.
Truly North American
The NAHL wants to make sure they are providing their product to as many American hockey players as possible, offering their message of earning a college commitment while you play for the NAHL everywhere from Massachusetts to Minnesota to Kansas to Alaska.
Although the epicenters of junior hockey are throughout the Midwest and Northeast, the NAHL is able to make sure all of its players are being seen – by NCAA scouts and NHL scouts alike. No less than 17 players have been drafted into the NHL the last five years.
"The NAHL has done very well," said Greg Rajanen, who works for the NHL Central Scouting Service. "With the number of teams they have in North America, it's obviously well spread out, but they do a really good job of bringing their players to not only the NHL scouts, but to college scouts, as well."
Case in point, Fairbanks standouts Todd Burgess and Benton Maass have been two of the league's eight drafted players the last two years.
There have been 22 Fairbanks players who have committed to the NCAA Division 1 ranks the last two years as well. Nine more Kenai River Brown Bears have made commitments.
"The travel between Alaska and everywhere else is obviously challenging, but a huge sign of our success is how our players have overcome that," said Frankenfeld. "Kenai River has done a good job of reinvesting in their product, and Fairbanks is one of the best junior products on and off the ice in the United States.
"The Northeast Generals, at the other end of our footprint, have done a great job of weathering a storm and they are more prepared this year than last year," Frankenfeld added.
NAHL teams play games mostly within their division, aside from the Showcase and a few other games. There are, however, some big trips – teams often use their big trips to Fairbanks or New England as team-building opportunities.
"The season is long, and the adversity each individual player goes through is going to make them a stronger player in college," said Tim Madsen, head coach of the Minnesota Wilderness, and a former assistant and associate head coach at Niagara University. "To be able to play at your best after a six-hour bus ride, or to play 11 games in 23 days in one month. Those are things that are going to really challenge the player, and ultimately, make them a better player both mentally and physically."
The East Division has the league's newest teams – the Generals, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights, New Jersey Titans, and the Philadelphia Rebels. The Tomahawks joined this group and Bouchard said that the East Division games always have plenty of scouts.
"If you look at the NCAA commitment numbers for the East Division teams, they are towards the top of the NAHL," said Bouchard. "The geography is perfect for scouts throughout the season. Johnstown, selected Kraft Hockeyville USA in 2015, receives incredible fan support, which is something that is an NAHL trademark and is uniques to junior teams in the East."
"Being able to have a presence in multiple areas helps with accessibility for the scouts and also allows some players to stay closer to home," the Wings' Langer added. "A lot of teams have to pull together to make it work, but it's paid off in terms of making us a stronger league and it's the players who benefit from that."
Showcasing the Talent
In the middle of winter, the spotlight suddenly shines on the USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, Mich., as the best uncommitted players are selected to play each other in the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament.
To give scouts the best gauge of the talent still available, they add in the U.S. National Team Development Program's Under-17 and Under-18 teams. And on top of that, there is a NAHL Selects team, made up of NHL Draft-eligible players.
"They allow us to choose one team, the NAHL Selects," said the NHL's Rajanen. "The NAHL's philosophy is they want all the guys who are still looking to get college scholarships together. We usually have two or three NHL Central Scouting guys there, especially our goalie guy, Al Jensen [a former NHL goalie], because there always seems to be a wealth of strong goalies coming out of that league."
"The Blaine Showcase is the early opportunity to get players on the radar," said Frankenfeld. "Then, there's [an event] gap until the Top Prospects Tournament, which narrows the focus for the scouts."
The Showcase in Minnesota each September also serves as a networking mecca. It provides a platform for NAHL coaches and staff members to reconnect with, or meet new, NCAA coaches and NHL scouts.
"Hockey is a small circle. It's kind of a fraternity," Frankenfeld added. "Everyone from every level is there, so great relationships come out of that. A guy like Frank Serratore, they just started looking at guys in the NAHL at one point, and they started winning with them. More and more college guys whom I have talked to, they talk about spending more time recruiting in the NAHL, and they are finding more high-end NAHL guys ready to compete and make an impact."
"The NAHL Showcase is crucial to get the scouts started," Rajanen added. "We have a list of futures to start the year with, and there are a few guys we identified the previous year as potential prospects playing in the showcase."
Dan Wildfong, head coach of the 2017 Robertson Cup champion Lone Star Brahmas, preaches to his players to be essentially in midseason shape when they hit Blaine.
"It's still summer hockey at the beginning of the year a little bit, and we want to limit that, so we have our guys come in early," said Wildfong. "I want them playing the right way when they get to Blaine. The players have to eat right and come into camp in shape. Some of these guys are built like Greek gods when they come in."
Even the Robertson Cup championship tournament in May attracts scouting attention.
"We had two more commitments after we won it all. That shows you that winning it all means a lot for college coaches, as well," said Wildfong. "One guy who was committed right after the Cup might not have gotten committed if not for the winning culture here. I counted 12-15 NCAA guys still watching our players in Duluth in May."
Different Roads
The NAHL is not just for players to move on to the NCAA or even the NHL. Some of the younger players advance to the United States Hockey League.
"We're very comfortable in our skin with our relationship with the USHL," said Frankenfeld. "With them being Tier-1 and us being Tier-2. The colleges know how to track players, whether they earn their opportunity in the NAHL and then play in the USHL. There are more players that come into the NAHL uncommitted, and that's what creates our brand. Our goal is to send a player on to college. If they go to the USHL for a year before college, that's great. We have been really good partners with USA Hockey and the Ladder of Development that includes the USHL and the NTDP. We have our own Tier-3 junior league and Midget leagues, but we ultimately focus on what works best for our players to advance to college."
"The product is as competitive as ever," said the Tomahawks' Bouchard. "That shows in the annual events we put on as a league and the divisional rivalries that continue to grow. We are at the top of the chain in terms of talent that is being produced for the NCAA."
Some of that talent also includes coaches – NAHL coaches have been able to make the jump to the NCAA level. Corey Millen helped the Minnesota Wilderness to the Robertson Cup title in 2015. He was an assistant coach last year for the University of Minnesota. This year, he will begin his tenure as Director of Hockey for Air Force.
"The NAHL is the league of opportunity for not only players but coaches as well," said Serratore. "There are former NAHL coaches at every level of hockey from Jeff Jackson at Notre Dame to Jon Cooper in the NHL [Tampa Bay]. After a storied playing career as a college All-American, two-time U.S. Olympian, and long-time NHLer, Corey reinvented himself in the NAHL as a highly-respected coach. "We are very excited to have Corey joining our staff at Air Force," Serratore added. "Corey is an experienced hockey man and a great guy. We are looking forward to learning from him as much as he is looking forward to learning from us."
Bill Muckalt was a NAHL head coach with the former New Mexico Mustangs, before moving on to the NCAA as an assistant coach and to the USHL as a head coach and general manager for the Tri-City Storm. He's joining Mel Pearson's staff as an associate coach at his alma mater, the University of Michigan.
"Cooper is one of our favorite stories – he started in the former Central States Hockey League [now the NA3HL], then it was on to the NAHL, to the USHL, and now he's in Tampa," said Frankenfeld. "We typically have coaching turnover, which will happen in a league with 24 teams, but that turnover is positive – we're not only having success developing players, but also earning opportunities for our coaches to advance."
Wildfong won a championship in this league, and he knows that all of his peers are incredibly adept at putting together a strong team – and they'll be gunning for the top dogs.
"I really think that, every year since I've been here, the product has gotten better and better," Wildfong said. "In the past, you could have one line and be successful, but now you have to have four lines, and everyone has to contribute.
"It is a product of the good recruiting that goes on," he added. "I really like how it's all managed – our ownership groups and the league office personnel do a great job. Guys are working very hard in this league – coaches, scouts and the league staff."

Indian Point Nuclear Will Be Trouble At The Sixth Seal (Rev 6:12)
Recent series of Indian Point shutdowns worst in years
Ernie Garcia, elgarcia@lohud.com
BUCHANAN — Four unplanned reactor shutdowns over a two-month period at Indian Point are the most setbacks the nuclear power plant has experienced in years.
A review of unplanned shutdowns from January 2012 to the present showed this year's events happened within a short time frame, between May 7 and July 8, in contrast with events from other years that were more spread out, according to data released by Indian Point.
So many mishaps at the Entergy-owned plant haven't occurred since 2009, when one of two units at the Buchanan site experienced a similar series, said plant spokesman Jerry Nappi.
Besides a May 9 transformer failure that spilled some 3,000 gallons of oil into the Hudson River, this year's shutdowns were prompted by a May 7 steam leak, a July 8 pump motor failure and a June 15 switch yard breaker failure offsite in a Consolidated Edison substation.
If a nuclear plant has more than three unplanned shutdowns in a nine-month period, its performance indicator could be changed by the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which results in additional oversight. That's what happened with Entergy's Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth, Mass., after four unplanned shutdowns in 2013.
So far, Entergy said there doesn't appear to be a pattern to the Indian Point shutdowns.
"You do want to look at these events holistically to see if there is something in common, but you also look individually to see what the causes were," Nappi said. "A plant shutdown in and of itself is not a safety issue."
One of the four recent Buchanan shutdowns triggered a special inspection by the NRC and calls to close the nuclear plant by environmental groups and elected officials. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said in the past Indian Point should close, but his office did not respond to a request for comment about whether the recent shutdowns have prompted any state scrutiny.
The NRC is expected to release a quarterly report on Indian Point this month that will address the transformer failure and, by year's end, is planning an inspection of the transformer and an analysis of transformer issues since 2007.
Besides its transformer-related inquiries, the other three shutdowns have not raised "any immediate safety concerns or crossed any thresholds that would result in additional NRC oversight," agency spokesman Neil Sheehan wrote in an email.
The unplanned shutdowns at Indian Point and Pilgrim in Massachusetts were mostly preventable, said Paul Blanch, a former Indian Point employee with 45 years of nuclear power experience.
"For this to happen this frequently indicates a deeper problem," he said. "I believe it's management oversight in the maintenance of these plants."
Nappi said the transformer that failed May 9 and caused a fire and oil spill into the Hudson was regularly monitored. Investigators determined the failure was due to faulty insulation.
"The transformer inspection and reviews were in accordance with our standards and industry expectations, yet there was no indication the transformer was going to fail," Nappi said.
The NRC conducted a separate, but related special inspection into the May 9 incident that focused on a half-inch of water that collected in an electrical switchgear room floor. Inspectors determined a fire suppression system's valve failed to close properly.
Inspectors noted in their report that Entergy knew about that problem since April 2011 and replaced the valve but didn't discover the actual cause — a dysfunctional switch — until after the fire.
Indian Point's Unit 3 was down 19 days May through July, with the transformer failure accounting for 16 days. The shutdowns didn't cause the public any supply problems because New York's grid can import electricity from other states and New York has an energy plan to maintain reliability, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The nuclear energy industry judges a power plant on how continuously it produces energy, which is called a capacity factor.
There were 100 nuclear plants in the United States in 2014, a record year in terms of efficiency. In January, the Nuclear Energy Institute announced the U.S. average capacity factor was 91.9 percent.
Indian Point has an above-average efficiency rate. The plant's Unit 2 and 3 reactors were each online more than 99 percent of the time during their most recent two-year operating cycles. They are currently in the middle of other cycles.

The Reality About the Iran Deal
Former Sen. Joe Lieberman: Kill the Iran Deal
By John Gizzi
Wednesday, 04 Oct 2017 11:47 AM Current | Bio | Archive
Former Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman told Newsmax he is urging the president "not to recertify" the Obama administration's controversial deal with Iran."Every 90 days that the agreement stays on the book is not in the national security interests," said Lieberman, who caucused with the Democrats and was the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee. He now heads a bipartisan group known as "United Against a Nuclear Iraq."
President Trump has stated he has not made up his mind on whether to recertify the nuclear agreement, and the Iranian regime says they expect him to break it off.
Lieberman for his part, said of the deal made in January 2016: "The Iranian government was in trouble and, in the negotiations, they were playing with a very weak hand," Lieberman told me, "So we gave away a lot for not much."
Among the benefits that Iran received: lifting of U.S. sanctions that have been in place since the present Tehran regime came to power in 1979, and unfreezing an estimated $1.6 billion in Iranian assets that were held in U.S. banks.
Even without solid evidence Iran is violating the agreement and enriching more nuclear facilities than permitted, Lieberman strongly feels there is ample evidence to decertify the agreement and not to do business with Tehran.
"You have a regime that is a police state, and supports repression of its own people," he said, "and it is already a supporter of the Hamas wing in Gaza, which wants to kill us and our allies. And Iran still supports the Taliban in Afghanistan."
I asked Lieberman about President Trump's remarks concerning the Iran government at a private gathering of reporters at the White House earlier this year. At the time, the president remarked that the $1.6 billion that was unfrozen "is going to Swiss bank accounts that benefit the Ayatollah and his friends."
Lieberman said: "I wouldn't be surprised. The imams don't take any vows of poverty."
As for Iran's controversial enrighment program, under what is known officially as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran will be limited to installing no more than 5,060 of its nearly 20,000 centrifuges (enrichment facilities to produce fuel for nuclear power plants) in the next 10 years.
The centrifuges that will be installed will be among the oldest and least efficient in Iran.
President Obama often reminded reporters that if the U.S. ever "snapped backed" and re-imposed sanctions on Iran, Germany, France and other countries that were now dealing with Baghdad would not follow suit and the revived U.S. sanctions would not pack the wallop they formerly did.
"True, but remember — all foreign businesses want to do business with the U.S.," Lieberman told me, "and it might be wise to limit the ability of foreign countries to do business in this country when they business with Iran."
Among those on the board of Against a Nuclear Iran, are Bill Clinton's CIA Director James Woolsey, Florida's former Republican Gov. Jeb Bush, and former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton.

Save the Oil and the Wine (Revelation 6:6)
Oil geopolitics risks: Kurdistan, Iran, Venezuela
Elena Holodny
Wall Street's top oil watcher says there are three geopolitical headwinds that might be "coming to a head in October" — and they could have implications for oil markets.
The three risks come from uncertainty surrounding Iraq's Kurdish region, the nuclear deal with Iran, and the ongoing crisis in Venezuela, according to RBC Capital Markets' Helima Croft.
Here's an outline of her arguments why those three regions are something oil watchers should keep an eye on:
The Kurdistan region: Last week residents of the Kurdistan region in Iraq voted in a non-binding referendum on independence. It was "met with harsh rhetorical responses from opponents and is sparking fears of a substantial supply shut in," according to Croft.
The nuclear deal with Iran: US President Donald Trump called the Iran deal "one of the worst deals ever negotiated" and repeatedly vowed to rip up the agreement. "President Trump will have the opportunity to make good on his pledge to decertify Iran on October 15, a decision that could set in motion a process that could lead to Congress reinstating the extra-territorial sanctions that prohibited investment in Iran's upstream sector and compelled countries to reduce their Iranian crude imports," Croft said. "Even if Trump has an 11th hour change of heart, new sanctions for non-nuclear transgressions are likely looming and they could deep-six the deal."
Venezuela: The White House has previously said it could up economic pressure on Maduro's government. "New US sanctions will undoubtedly make it more difficult for the national oil company, PDVSA, to maintain current levels and meet its debt obligations," said Croft.
In short, geopolitical risks look like they might be coming back for some oil producers. And even if they manage to avoid "full-blown crises," Croft argues they will continue to "face considerable turbulence."

Washington Must Choose Between the Kurds and the Antichrist
WASHINGTON MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN IRAQI KURDS AND BAGHDAD, A SECTARIAN THEOCRACY SERVING IRAN
By David L. Phillips
Nearly 93 percent of Iraqi Kurds voted for independence in the referendum on September 25. Now Washington faces a choice. The U.S. can either support the Iraqi Kurds who are staunch allies. Or it can back Iraq, a sectarian theocratic state acting as a proxy for Iran.
Premier Heider al-Abadi became prime minister in 2014, with endorsement from Iran's National Security Council and support from President Hassan Rouhani. Abadi's predecessor, Nouri al-Maliki, was a deeply polarizing figure, also backed by Tehran. Iraqi parliament speaker Salim al-Juburi works closely with his Iranian counterpart, Ali Larijani, a staunchly conservative politician and former military man.
Close security cooperation bind Iran and Iraq. The Iraqi armed forces and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are shoulder-to-shoulder in the fight against ISIS. Just a few days ago, Iran and Iraq held a joint military drill on Iraqi Kurdistan's border, warning their "common enemy".
Shiite militias, the Popular Mobilization Forces Militias (Hash'd al Shaabi) were created via a fatwa by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, extolling their "sacred duty" to liberate Mosul from ISIS. Shiite militias in Iraq are responsible for the deaths of many Americans.
Other Iraqi paramilitary units also threaten U.S. forces. The Peace Brigades are loyal to the virulently anti-American Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. The Badr Organization is a well-armed Iranian proxy militia.
ISIS was an economic bonanza for Iran. Iran's Trade Promotion Organization reports that Tehran's non-oil exports to Baghdad grew from $2.3 billion in 2008 to $6.2 billion in 2015 during which time Iraq helped Iran access global markets in violation of international sanctions.
Iran and Iraq also cooperate extensively in the energy sector. On September 25, the day of Iraqi Kurdistan's referendum, Iraq's Oil Minister Jabbar al-Luaibi announced a major investment in two new joint oil production facilities.
While the Trump administration condemns Iran's support for terrorism, it effectively supports Iran by aligning itself with Iraq. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson mistakenly calls Iraq "united, federal, and democratic." Backing Baghdad, he criticized Iraqi Kurdistan's independence referendum for lacking "legitimacy."
Iraq is not "united". Iraqi Kurdistan has enjoyed de-facto independence since 1991. Deep sectarian divisions exist between pro-Iranian Shiites and Iraqi Sunnis, many of whom support ISIS.
Iraq is not "federal". A recent study found 55 violations by Baghdad of its federal constitution. The Iraqi government repeatedly refuses to implement Article 140, which requires a referendum on the status of Kirkuk.
Iraq is far from "democratic". Its Shiite majority exerts majoritarian rule, disenfranchising both Sunnis and Kurds.
The U.S. Congress is increasingly aware of Iran's nefarious influence. Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic minority leader, accused "[Iraq]'s neighboring countries, led by despots who oppose a Kurdish State because it threatens the status quo and their self-interests." Senator John McCain supports a political process that addresses the aspirations of the Kurds for an independent state. They understand that Iraqi Kurdistan is a bulwark against Iranian influence.
A "sense of the Congress" resolution should call on the United States to recognize Iraqi Kurdistan if/when it declares independence.
The Congress should provide a direct appropriation to Kurdistan's peshmerga. Increasing the supply of heavy weapons would deter an attack by the Iraqi armed forces and Shiite militias.
The Congress should also restrict the transfer of heavy and offensive weapons to Iraq, which fall into the hands of Iranian-backed militias.
U.S. policy is at a fork in the road. Washington should align itself with Iraqi Kurdistan, supporting democracy and the national aspirations of Iraqi Kurds

I am grateful to New Courses Onlinewhich is extraordinary compared to other Educational institutions. I have previously taken a few of their highly rated courses like Big Data Hadoop, DevOps and AWS Architect. Presently I am looking to enhance my skills in the automation domain of the IT industry; there are not many institutes which offer RPA courses and New Courses Online is one. I have searched for high end institutes which charge high fees, but I could find this course in their list of offerings I am glad that I choose new Courses Online instead of waiting for other reputed institutes to put this course up in the schedule. I trust I get a similar learning knowledge which I got while experiencing my past courses. I generously thank New Courses Online.

Grab-Bag ContractsMight we write contracts like we fill shopping bags at the grocery store?
It's natural to arrange computer data in ordered lists. Lists are everywhere in computing. An entire family of programming languages, the LISP family, is written as lists of data and instructions. And list-like structures—arrays and strings, especially—are the first programmers learn and turn to within their programs. Common Form predictably represents forms (and their provisions) as lists of text, terms, references, blanks, and other forms.
But ignoring for a moment the desire to translate existing forms to Common Form, there's no reason contracts have to be made of provisions strung together in particular order. The important point is whether a contract has a noncompete, not whether that noncompete appears after "Payment Terms", first in "Miscellaneous", or at the very top. It matters whether it's there, and what it says. Where it appears is convention or taste.
This means that contracts could be modeled as sets of provisions, mere grab-bags of language without particular order, rather than as lists. Much as one marches the aisles of a supermarket chucking products into a shopping bag, one could stroll a database of available contract language, picking through exemplars of needed ingredients and tossing those most suitable into your contract as you go.
An easy way to think about how drafting set-contracts would differ is to ask: If I randomized the order of provisions in my contracts, what would break? Assume, as in Common Form, that cross-references are corrected automatically. Assume, as in Common Form, that subsections remain within their containing sections. But sections of a document, their subsections, and on down to the items of every list, are reordered unpredictably. Any time you add new language, it's scrambled again. The order of provisions in your contract is constantly changing, and you can't predict how.
One casualty is relative cross-references that explicitly rely on order. "Above", "below", "previous", "preceding", "forgoing", and "following" lose their meaning. Common Form can't prevent you typing this kind of thing into the text of a provision, but its understanding of cross-references is intentionally limited to resolving references to sections by their headings. There is no such thing in Common Form as a reference to "this section" or "the preceding clause". There's no such thing as a cross-reference to a form without a heading.
If you can think of any common provisions or strong drafting conventions that can't be rehabilitated in this way, I'd be very grateful for an e-mail or a tweet.
One nice consequence of composing orderless contracts is that it becomes trivial to recognize that two forms that differ in order only are in fact the same. Common Form does not and cannot do this. Switching the order of any two subsections creates an entirely new Common Form.
It also becomes possible to speak of contracts, and relationships between contracts, with the well-defined vocabulary of set theory. A form that contains all the provisions of another form, plus some others, is a superset. The intersection of two forms is a new form containing just those provisions the two share in common. The union of two forms is a new form with all the included provisions, without duplication. Even mobile phones could rather trivially perform such operations on relatively large forms.
An extension of that idea might be to divide a contract project in two—its substantive terms and boilerplate. Candidate substantive terms might express their compatibility with boilerplate foundations expressed in set terms. Holding that boilerplate constant, swap sets of provisions in an out of the substantive terms part of the contract.
Rather than clumsily attach intellectual property agreements or assignments or waivers as exhibits, each duplicating the boilerplate from the master agreement—or making do with an abbreviated, degenerate version of it—contract lawyers might simply drop the set of necessary substantive terms into the substantive terms context of a broader agreement with common boilerplate. On the receiving end, opposing counsel could use set operations to interrogate the substantive coverage of the agreement.
As for actually reading through the form, a Common Form of set-contracts might provide predictable, automatic tools to make forms handler-friendly. Tables of contents, lists of defined terms, cross-reference maps, and defined-term dependency graphs are all trivial possibilities. Each lawyer could discover and use whatever kind and style of organizational aid they prefer, with no skin off anyone's nose.


This totally falls into the "why the heck didn't I think of it" category. And yes, I know it has been all over fashion blogs and mags here and abroad but I love it and cannot resist. If, like me, you're unlikely to have a spare $20,000 anytime soon to invest in a covetable Hermès handbag, then meet the Together bag created by LA-based accessories label Thursday Friday.
These canvas shoppers are fully lined with an interior pocket for phone and keys; what sets them apart from all the other canvas carryalls being schlepped by gym rats, diaper-toting mamas, greenmarket goers and the environmentally conscious alike is the pop-arty Hermès inspired bag print on all five exterior sides.
They're cheeky, good-looking and practical. Trouble is, just like the iconic Birkin bag they're "modeled" on, the Together bags sold out within weeks of their launch last year and are now back ordered.
The bags, a sort of anti-status, status symbol and sturdy enough to carry in rain, sun or snow, come in red, blue or camel and with a very manageable $35 price tag. To order, click here.

Tag: Campaign to rewrite the last jedi
Who owns this movie? The Last Jedi and its detractors
I didn't like the latest Star Wars movie any more than the next person, but have we all gone insane?
That's the only question I'm left with after learning that there's an actual Change petition to remove The Last Jedi from the Star Wars canon and remake that episode of the saga. And it has actual signers (?!?!). Add to that the fact that apparently some of the actors have had twitter threats, and I'm not sure what else to say other than people are damn weird. Aside from that, this does raise an interesting question: who owns the movie? Obviously, the answer is the creators. In this case, Disney, the company that made the movie; however, the only possible explanation for this awful behavior on the part of the fan base is that these people feel as if they own the movie: as if it was made directly for them and the way The Last Jedi was written was in some way a violation of their property.
Here's the thing: we can responsibly critique any media that comes out in terms of the overall storytelling, the story's reflection of reality, the ideas it's putting forward, etc., but at the end of the day, the creative choices are up to the directors, writers, and other people responsible for producing a movie. That doesn't mean we have to agree with everything a group does, but– and there's no way to say this kindly– it's not up to you. At least, not entirely. Audience is important of course, and I don't think the creators of The Last Jedi were expecting the kind of backlash they got from some of the franchise's most dedicated fans; however, I also don't think they set out to ruin or violate (that term gets thrown around too much in these conversations, but it is the term used) anything. What they set out to do, however misguided the attempt, was to further the story. In order to do that, characters had to develop, and, ultimately, they had to leave to make room for the new set of characters.
Now, we can talk about whether that was done well or not, but throwing a tantrum and getting people to sign an actual Change petition in order to rewrite something is ludicrous. The troubling thing to all of this is that, for some, this is probably a justifiable move. After all, as the fans, a company has to do everything they can to cater to us, right? Nope. Again, we don't have to like the choices, but there are probably more constructive things we could all be doing with our time. To sum up: let the creators create. Sometimes they'll make stupid decisions, but that's their call. As fans, it's up to us to behave responsibly: if we don't like something, we can talk calmly and rationally about what it was that we objected to. Creating and signing a petition, however, that's just stupid. As for the twitter threats, just don't.

I send a lot of videos for customer support purposes, and I'm looking for a fast and easy way to share video of my screen with others.
This is exactly what I was looking for to create a product demo for my website.
I will recommend CloudApp a hundred times because I swear it's the best option out there for just about every screen capture request, whether it's recording GIFs, videos, or just pictures. It's so easy to download / share the results as well! I couldn't live without it.
It's not a sparkly new app but Quicktime has built-in screen recording functionality. Quick and easy.
I use Jumpshare Plus. Let's you record up to 5 minute screencasts and will upload them/host them. It also lets you easily share screenshots and other files. Find it here: https://jumpshare.com/ -- they have a free version too, limits screencasts to 30 seconds though. Plus is $99/year.
Not the prettiest of products, but it's pretty lightweight and does the job if GIFs will suffice!
Wish it could record the OS X menu bar, but it's great for recording individual windows.
What's the best gif screen grab app for MacOS?

First class chefs Bobby Flay, Michael Symon, Anne Burrell and Alex Guarnaschelli tackle one of the most massive problems in food today - waste! Divided into two teams, with only 48 hours on the clock, they are challenged to create a multi course gourmet banquet worthy of their great reputations, but with a big twist; they can only use food that is on its way to the trash. The chefs' hunt takes them from grocery aisles to produce farms, and orchard lines to garbage piles, as they attempt to source enough ingredients to feed a gathering crowd.
