For portrait sessions, think how your clothing reflects your style and how you'll display your photos in your home. Start by choosing complementing colors and subtle patterns. Pick two or three colors in the same color scheme and mix in neutrals like khaki, black, white, gray, or denim for a nice balance for each outfit. Avoid wearing identical clothing, big logos, writing, pictures, or characters – these are distracting and take focus away from your face.
Accessories, such as shoes & socks, hats, hair bows & headbands, scarves, belts, sunglasses, and jewelry are a great way to add punch to the photos. They should add interest to the outfit but not be distracting.
Layering clothing, accessories, and wearing well-placed patterns help camouflage body parts you are sensitive to, smooth bumps from bra straps, waistbands from pants, etc., change the feel of your outfit, and add balance to the overall look. You want to be mindful of wearing solid-colored pieces and clothing with stretchy materials that show bumps and bulges.
I advise groups to let the person who will have the toughest time feeling comfortable in the photos select their outfit first, and then build everyone's outfit around their choices.
The most important thing is to choose clothing that matches your family's style and that everyone is happy to wear. If you need help, just let me know and I'll talk about your options. Or, if you are unsure about what to wear, just have a few options ready and when we meet for our session and I can help you pick.
What about glasses and contacts?
You should look like YOU in your portraits. If you're concerned about the glare on your lenses, consider borrowing a pair of lens-free frames from your optician or wearing contacts. If you wear Transitions® lenses, the lenses will turn dark if we are shooting outside and your eyes won't be visible in the photographs. I urge you to borrow a pair of lens-free frames, wear contacts. or just remove your glasses for the session.
A typical session lasts 1-2 hours. I try to make it relaxed and fun, and while some of the portraits will be posed, I also try to capture the natural moments in between. Please let me know if there are poses or groupings of family members you want included. I'm always willing to incorporate your ideas, so please don't be shy if you have suggestions.
Children and adults are always in better moods if they have full bellies and had a good night's sleep. You may want to bring a bag with snacks and juice (avoid sugar or anything that can stain clothing), especially if you have small children in your group. Feel free to bring along toys your child loves and you don't mind them holding while being photographed.
Overcast days are fine, but if it rains, we'll either move to an indoor location with a lot of natural light or reschedule the session for a time it's not raining. Weather changes quickly, so it's sometimes possible to reschedule for an earlier or later time on the same day.
I understand sometimes life gets in the way of our plans. When a session needs to be rescheduled due to weather, illness, or extenuating circumstances, the retainer fee and session fees are carried forward to the new date.
Approximately two weeks after your session, I will give you a link and a password for your private online gallery of your session images. You will see a minimum of 35 images from your session if you've paid for a Standard session or a minimum of 60 if you've paid for an extended session, but oftentimes it's more.
These online images are just a preview of the full-size images that will be delivered to you – hand-delivered if you are a local client; mailed to you if you are an out-of-town client. You may share your online password with friends and family so that they may see the photos as well. If you are a local client, I can show you samples of my products (albums, prints, custom designed art) and measure your walls to show you how your finished images will look. If you decide to purchase products, I will hand-deliver them to your home or I will have them delivered via postal service.
As you browse through your images, I encourage you to mark your favorites so that I may send you a custom-designed app for your smart phone or tablet. Your gallery will remain active online for two weeks.
What if I need you to do some additional editing to the photos?
I will help you look your finest the day of the photo shoot; however, some things, like closed eyes, clothing mishaps, and awkward expressions, are beyond my control. I want you happy with your images and feeling confident to hang them in your home. I edit all images before I present them to you, making adjustments and enhancements to turn a nice photograph into a beautiful portrait. Small cosmetic corrections are included at no charge (such as: removal of pimples, lipstick on teeth, stray hairs, small stain on clothing, etc.) I prepare images to flatter the clients and represent them, but sometimes clients want additional extensive editing done to their images. For this reason, I perform additional editing at the client's request for a $25-per-image fee. This would include: merging two photos together, braces removal, tattoo covering, etc. If you are unsure about an edit I might do, just ask me. I preserve all the original images so any edits I do can easily be undone.
During your session, I do my best to get the most flattering poses of everyone. I try to get eye contact and capture special moments. However, there are those times when someone blinks, or slouches, or moves and is out of focus. I choose the best images for your gallery and I omit the outtakes and doubles. In a typical session, I shoot 150 or more frames to ensure you have a full gallery that you will love. If there's a specific photo you want but it's not included in your gallery, I'm happy to show it to you. Your gallery has a minimum of 30 fully-edited images for you to view.
What is the difference between low-resolution web images, and high-resolution print images?
When you receive your digital files from Gretchen Willis Photography, you should decide how you will use the files. If you intend to use the files to print your images, you'll want to use the high-resolution (PRINT) image files . These image files are large (over 3mb each) and are suitable for printing images of any size up to 20×30. These files come with a print release form.
If you intend to use the files to share your images online (blogs, emails, facebook, instagram, etc.) then low-resolution web images are the best choice. Low-resolution files are much smaller (less than 500KB each) and are easy to send as attachments, and will load quickly on web pages. Each image file will have the Gretchen Willis Photography watermark in the corner. These files are not large enough for printing, so be sure to select the correct file type when using your digital images.
Who has permission and rights to the photos?
Gretchen Willis Photography retains all copyrights on photos. Any images you receive, whether print or digital, are yours for personal use and enjoyment. Please do not copy or alter the photos or distribute the photos for profit.
You are asked to sign a model release form (included in your client written agreement), which allows me to use the images from your session for marketing purposes. I never sell your images to a third party without your prior written consent, I protect your personal information at all times, and every step is taken to ensure all distinguishing information is kept private.
Your session fee covers a minimum of 35 high-resolution digital images for a Standard Session (60 if you choose the Extended Session). Along with your digital image you will receive a print release form which will grant you permission to print the images in any quantity, at any size, at any printing location. The print release is granted for personal use only, not for resale nor for entry into contests.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I look forward to photographing you and your family!

NSW Funding for new viral vector manufacturing facility
Luminesce Alliance partner Children's Medical Research Institute was recently awarded $25 million in funding from NSW Government for a new advanced viral vector manufacturing facility at Westmead, to produce specialised gene therapy tools at clinical grade.
A vector is a microscopic tool used to deliver healthy copies of genes to tissues and organs within patients or deliver the ability to correct the genetic error at its source. While the technology is moving rapidly, production of vectors is not. NSW, and in particular the Westmead precinct, is already at the forefront of international gene therapy research. The aim of this project is to speed up research and translate it into cures for serious genetic diseases affecting children
This investment reaffirms the NSW Government's commitment to world-leading research conducted at the Westmead Precinct, and most importantly, toward transforming children's lives.
Read more about the new facility and from Professor Ian Alexander, Head of the Gene Therapy Research Unit at Children's Medical Research Institute, Senior clinician at The Children's Hospital at Westmead and Professor of Paediatric and Molecular Medicine at the University of Sydney; and, Dr Leszek Lisowski , Head of the Translational Vectorology Group at CMRI and Conjoint Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney.

In the recent years, the technology of television has changed constantly and rapidly. Choosing the right television set for your usage may be a mind boggling process. Here are some of the things that you need to know when you decide to make that television purchase.
The location and the placement of your new television set should be the first thing that you have to take into consideration. The location and dimensions of the area will determine the size that you need. Take measurements of the designated space for your television so that it would fit the space.
Leave around one to two inch of space on the sides as well as behind the set so as to allow ventilation and space for the installation of the cable connections.
As a rough guide, a 32 or 37 inches would suffice for a living room or recreational areas. Smaller sizes like the 21 or 23 inch television sets can be placed in the bedrooms. It is important to ensure that there is a proper distance between you and the television as it gives you maximum viewing experience and it is good for your eyes.
Another thing to note is the type of television. The main types include liquid crystal display (LCD), light emitting diode (LED), OLED TVs and plasma television.
LED television sets are generally of higher quality and provide the clearest images. Being one of the latest technology, they also boast the slimmest panels, making them very space effective. Sports lovers and action movie lovers can consider plasma screens as they are fantastic for fast moving action like soccer and basketball games.
This is due to the fact that they can handle higher frame rate, allowing the images to update faster. Compared to the plasma and LED television, the LCD TV is usually the cheapest. They are good for general usage.
As technology evolved, televisions come with more features for consumers to choose which type of televisions suit them best. With the emergence of smart televisions and 3D televisions, many families have jumped onto the bandwagon for novelty sake. Ask yourself if you really need these features and would you be utilizing these features in the long run?
Smart televisions are one of the latest trends. They allow you to connect to the internet to surf the web or play that online game from the comforts of your sofa or bed. They can be connected to your laptop or smartphone to watch movies, download apps and play games. They are great for video conversations through services like Skype.
Another hot trend is the 3D television. With the television that comes with the 3D glasses, your family no longer have to catch that 3D movie in the cinema.
Display Type: Very first thing to know what type of television Screen such as LCD TVs, LED TVs, OLED TVs, and plasma TVs.
Contrast Ratio: After select what type of display of your television. you have to check the contrast ratio of television.
Color reproduction/color depth: Sure! before buying a television. your television has support to create enough color to satisfied you and your eyes. that means picture and video looks realistic.
Aspect Ratio: Aspect Ratio means how your TV Height and width. for example.. If you are movie lover so you need wider television.
Other than these major things that you have to consider when purchasing the television set, other things to take note are audio capabilities, picture quality, screen flatness and its ease of use. Most importantly, getting a television catered for your needs far exceeds getting a television that is packed with all sorts of features.


A level is simply a device for determining if a surface is "level" ie horizontal. To a builder something is often level if it is level simply along, say, its length. But for an engineer for a surface to be level if has got to be level in two directions at an right angle to each other. This, though, assumes the surface is flat. If the surface is twisted it might be level in two directions but only at certain places.
Consequently a level can determine if a line on a surface is level or if a flat surface is level, or if a surface is not flat, in the sense that it is twisted.
If two lines in the same vertical plane are both level then they are parallel.
Traditional levels consist of a glass tube that has a curved surface internally. this is filled with a liquid but with some air and is sealed. When the level is horizontal the bubble will rest between some marks scribed on the surface of the glass tube.
The key feature of any level is its sensitivity. This is how small a difference from the horizontal can be detected.
The most common sort of level is that used by builders. The sensitivity of these is about 1mm per metre.
With this sort of level if it is held in what appears to be a vertical position then this is good enough.
Levels suitable for levelling machines are often called "engineer's levels".
Levels used for levelling machines are of the order of ten times this sensitivity that is about 0.1mm per metre. This should be good enough for setting up any machine likely to be found in a home workshop.
Levels are available with sensitivities up to ten times this that is 0.01mm/m.
For these levels to work accurately is is essential that they are "vertical" when being used. To achieve this as required they include a second level which is set so the top of the level is horizontal at right angles to its axis.
A level can be tested by placing the level on a specific line on a flat surface. The flat surface is adjusted to be horizontal by the level. The level is turned round and set down along the same line. The level should still show that the surface is horizontal.
The main use of a level is when setting up a machine so a surface is level. For example, the bed of a lathe should be level along its length and across its width. Similarly a milling machine should be set up so the table is level along both the x and y directions.
Another use is that if one flat surface is level as is another flat surface then these two surfaces will be parallel. Consider the case of a tilting table mounted on a milling table. If the milling table is horizontal then one way of seeing if the top of the tilting table is horizontal is be means of a level.
It might seem that a glass tube forced into a slight bend would make a level. However levels are not made like this. The curved is formed by grinding the inside surface of the glass tube.
Measuring whether a surface is level or not over a long distance appears to be a problem. Of course, if one can measure whether a surface is flat it is also possible to set a surface to be at a slight slope. This problem arises when building a long aqueduct as the Romans were keen on doing.

Policy Brief: TOWARDS INCLUSIVE POLICY-MAKING IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: Examining the Triangle of Relations
Prepared within the TRAIN 2014 project implemented by DGAP, this policy brief examines the triangular relationships among the civil society organisations, the citizens and the government as key actors in achieving participatory, inclusive and responsible democracy in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Within the 2014 TRAIN Programme (Think Tanks Providing Research and Advice through Interaction and Networking), implemented by the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) and sponsored by the German Foreign Office (Stability Pact for South East Europe), we examine the complex triangular relationships between civil society organisations, citizens and the governement as the key actors in achieving participative, inclusive and responsible democracy in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This policy brief seeks to untangle and contribute towards the improvement of the current state of play in terms of civil society–government cooperation and dialogue in BiH. It looks at the extent to which civil society organisations in BiH at the moment present a genuine and legitimate actor, and goes on to analyse existing legal and institutional frameworks that (should) provide the basis for citizens' political participation. By bringing forward the gaps at both the local and state levels of participation, it will pave way for improved and meaningful models of civil society–government dialogue.

PASCAGOULA – A former Ocean Springs Middle School teacher and wrestling coach has pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual battery involving a student.
Grady Brown, 35, was teaching seventh-grade math and coaching when he was accused in April 2011 of having a sexual relationship with a then-13-year-old girl over a three-month period.
Brown was fired shortly after his arrest.
Friday, Brown made the guilty pleas before Jackson County Circuit Judge Kathy King Jackson, the Sun Herald reported.
The next day, investigators interviewed several students at the school who all admitted they knew Brown and the student were having a sexual relationship.
Flowers said the alleged sexual assaults occurred within the Jackson County Sheriff's Department's jurisdiction and a joint investigation began.
A search warrant was issued for Grady's home and several items of "evidentiary value" were collected, Flowers said.
A second search warrant was obtained on April 28, 2011 after Flowers said they became aware of new information in the case.
"Additional items were collected, interviews were conducted and a warrant was issued for the arrest of Grady Brown," said Flowers.
Brown faces up to 90 years in prison sentence. He remains free on bond until his sentencing which is set for Sept. 5.

Iwane Solomonis Dse Beritaschwili, auch Beritow, Beritov, Beritoff, (, ; *  in Wedschini, Ujesd Sighnaghi; † 29. Dezember 1974 in Tiflis) war ein georgisch-sowjetischer Neurophysiologe, Neuropsychologe und Hochschullehrer.

Leben
Der Priestersohn Beritaschwili besuchte die Geistliche Schule Telawi und das Geistliche Seminar Tiflis. 1906 legte er die Reifeprüfung ab und begann das Studium an der Universität St. Petersburg in der naturwissenschaftlichen Abteilung der physikalisch-mathematischen Fakultät, wo er bald durch seine Fähigkeiten und seinen Eifer auffiel. Im 3. Kursjahr begann er im Laboratorium Nikolai Jewgenjewitsch Wwedenskis experimentell zu arbeiten. Seine Untersuchungsergebnisse wurden 1910 veröffentlicht. Nach dem Abschluss des Studiums im gleichen Jahr behielt ihn Wwedenski am Lehrstuhl als Aspirant. Daneben unterrichtete Beritaschwili in den Kursen Pjotr Franzewitsch Lesgafts.

Auf Empfehlung Wwedenskis wurde Beritaschwili 1911 nach Kasan geschickt, um bei Alexander Filippowitsch Samoilow die Methodik der Registrierung von Strömen in Nerven und Muskeln mit einem Galvanometer zu erlernen, die Samoilow 1904 in Leiden von Willem Einthoven übernommen hatte. 1914 wurde Beritaschwili wieder auf Empfehlung Wwedenskis zu Rudolf Magnus nach Utrecht geschickt, um die Techniken der Neurochirurgie zu erlernen. Bei Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges musste er die Arbeit dort abbrechen und nach Petrograd zurückkehren.

1915 musste Beritaschwili wegen eines Konflikts mit Wwedenski die Universität Petrograd verlassen. Er wechselte zur Universität Neurusslands in Odessa und wurde Oberassistent am Lehrstuhl für Physiologie. Innerhalb eines Jahres wurde er Privatdozent. Er untersuchte schützende bedingte Reflexe von Hunden nach der Methode Wladimir Michailowitsch Bechterews.

Nach der Oktoberrevolution wurde Beritaschwili 1919 als Professor für Physiologie an die 1918 von Iwane Dschawachischwili gegründete Universität Tiflis berufen. Trotz fehlender Voraussetzungen konnte er in kurzer Zeit durch Anwerben und Schulung des nötigen Personals die Lehr- und Forschungstätigkeit beginnen. Er veröffentlichte das erste georgische Lehrbuch der Physiologie (in zwei Bänden 1920 und 1921), dem 1922 die russische Ausgabe folgte. Er richtete ein Forschungslaboratorium ein, wie es sich Iwan Romanowitsch Tarchanow vorgestellt hatte. 1935 wurde er Direktor des Instituts für Physiologie der Universität Tiflis, das er bis 1960 leitete. 1937 veröffentlichte er das russische Handbuch der allgemeinen Physiologie der Nerven- und Muskelsysteme, für das er 1941 den Stalinpreis erhielt. 1939 gründete er die Georgische Gesellschaft für Physiologie und wurde Wirkliches Mitglied der Akademie der Wissenschaften der UdSSR. In der 1941 gegründeten Georgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften der SSR Georgien wurde er sogleich Wirkliches Mitglied und Direktor des Instituts für Physiologie der Akademie (bis 1951, danach wissenschaftlicher Leiter). 1944 gehörte er zu den Gründungsmitgliedern der Akademie der Medizinischen Wissenschaften der UdSSR.

Auf der Tagung zu den Lehren Iwan Petrowitsch Pawlows im Herbst 1950 wurden Leon Abgarowitsch Orbeli, Beritaschwili, Alexei Dmitrijewitsch Speranski, Lina Stern und andere als Feinde der Lehren Pawlows, auf die sich Trofim Denissowitsch Lyssenko stützte, kritisiert und Pjotr Kusmitsch Anochins Theorie der funktionalen Systeme scharf abgelehnt. Nach der Rehabilitierung der kritisierten Wissenschaftler 1955 stellte Beritaschwili die Räumliche Orientierung in den Mittelpunkt seiner Forschungsarbeiten. 1958–1960 gehörte er zusammen mit Herbert Jasper und Henri Gastaut zu den Gründern der International Brain Research Organization (IBRO). Später widmete er sich der Gedächtnisforschung.

The screenshots tell the story best.
In the first image you'll see the search text box rendered correctly.
However in the second image you'll see that when the input text box is focused, it makes the textbox black
Please see my screenshots:

Has anyone seen this issue?

A: I had the same problem, and fixed it with css like this:
input.ui-focus, textarea.ui-focus {
    outline: none;
    -webkit-box-shadow: none;
}

A: Thank you for your answer.
From my side, I had to set css to:

It's safe to say that the summer season has (finally) hit Toronto. And you know what that means: It's time for BBQs, patios, and a lot of outdoor fun with friends and family. When Indigo asked me to try out the new, super-quick Visa Checkout, on their online store, I decided to select a few items for their new Great Canadian Summer collection, that would also reflect what my great Canadian summer will really be like. To me summer is all about cooking, grilling, spending time in my garden (or at my cottage) and hosting tons of my loved ones. What's better than eating, drinking, and laughing all together when the weather is warm and beautiful? As many of you already know, I've got a bit of an obsession with collecting cookbooks. The first thing I thought of when I was browsing Indigo's online shop was that I needed to pick up a copy of Saveur's New Classics cookbook, and Make It Ahead by Ina Garten.
It might sound weird, but cooking and flipping through cookbooks is what I do to relax. I love kicking up my feat with a few of my favourite cookbooks next to me and looking through them one by one to get inspired. I often even start jotting down notes and menu ideas for future gatherings, even if their months ahead. As Ina will tell you in her new book, it pays to be organized when you're hosting a big dinner party! Not only do I love creating a special menu because I find it fun, but it also helps me coordinate more easily when dealing with my hectic schedule.
The other thing I tend to collect a lot of (ok, well there are many things) are blankets. And anything with stripes! It was pretty much love at first sight when I spotted this great summery nautical throw in Indigo's Home section of the Canadian Collection. Since most of my blankets are wool for that great Canadian winter of ours, I thought it would be perfect to have a nice light blanket on hand for snuggling in the garden once the sun goes down.
Since we are so lucky to enjoy an abundance of fresh local fruits and vegetables throughout the summer, having a good wooden salad bowl is essential. I love that this version is painted white on the outside, with a matching pair of white-tipped salad servers. Bonus: it's a great piece to bring with you for pot lucks, and it won't be easy to mix up with any other wooden bowls that might show up!
Naturally with all of that finger-licking good BBQ going on, things are going to get messy. Not only can having a nice set of napkins take your place setting to the next level, but it will help reduce waste, unlike when using convenient (but bad for the environment) paper napkins. Since I'm often drawn to a good buffalo check, I couldn't help but click 'Add to Cart' when I spotted these navy and white versions by Indigo.
At this point you can probably tell that I really play up the 'cottage' aspect of my little Victorian cottage home in the city. But what can I say? I love bit of a country feel to my living space! And yes, even I couldn't resist picking up one of those adorable Canoe-print tea towels for my kitchen.
As an avid online shopper, I was genuinely impressed with how quick and easy it was to use Visa Checkout on Indigo's site. If you shop online often, you can probably relate to finding the few final steps of having to punch in your credit card info a little tedious and annoying. The difference is that once your Visa Checkout account is set up, your checkout time speeds up immensely. It's basically click click and BOOM! Your package arrives at your door. No really, Indigo had my order to me by the next morning.
Canadians can sign up to breeze through online checkout at http://checkout.visa.com.
o Step One: Create a username and password.
o Step Three: Look for the Visa Checkout button when you're shopping online, enter your username and password, and go!

Viklau kyrka är en kyrkobyggnad i Viklau socken på Gotland. Fram till 1 januari 2006 tillhörde kyrkan Viklau församling som därefter uppgick i Vänge församling. Viklau är kanske mest förknippat med den så kallade Viklaumadonnan, en träskulptur från 1100-talet, som numera förvaras på Historiska museet i Stockholm.

Kyrkobyggnaden
Medeltidskyrkan är byggd av sten i romansk stil och består av ett rektangulärt långhus med ett smalare, rakt avslutat kor i öster och ett kyrktorn i väster. Sakristian är inhyst i ett utrymme öster om koret i samma byggnadsdel som koret. Långhuset och det lägre koret har tegeltäckta sadeltak. Tornet har kolonettförsedda ljudgluggar och kröns av en kort tornspira. Exteriören är osmyckad med enkla rundbågiga portaler i långhusets och korets södra sidor samt i tornets västra sida. Kyrkorummet är enkelt och osmyckat och saknar kalkmålningar. Långhuset täcks av ett plant trätak medan koret täcks av ett tunnvalv. Mellan kor och långhus finns en vid spetsbågig muröppning.

Tillkomst och ombyggnader
Kyrkans äldsta del är koret. Långhuset uppfördes något senare och färdigställdes troligen vid slutet av 1100-talet. Medeltidskyrkan fullbordades vid mitten av 1200-talet då kyrktornet i väster tillkom. Sakristian tillkom så sent som 1852 - 1853 då kyrkan förlängdes åt öster och en ursprunglig korabsid revs. I det nya utrymmet öster om koret inhystes sakristian. Fönsteröppningarna fick sin nuvarande storlek vid mitten av 1800-talet, då även långhusets norra fönster togs upp. Kyrkan genomgick restaureringar 1930 och 1937, efter förslag av arkitekt Sven Brandel, samt 1984.

Inventarier
 I långhusets nordöstra hörn finns en kopia av Viklaumadonnan.
 Ett triumfkrucifix är från 1100-talet.
 En reliefprydd dopfunt av sandsten från 1100-talet är troligen gjord av en medhjälpare till Hegvald. I kyrkan finns även en dopfunt av sandsten från 1737.
 Nuvarande predikstol och bänkinredning tillkom på 1700-talet.

Orgel
 Nuvarande orgel är byggd 1989 av Septima Orgel AB i Umeå. Det är en elektrisk orgel. Alla stämmor kan fritt disponeras på två manualer och pedal.  Tidigare använde man ett harmonium.

Smoked paprika is a sweet, smoked variety of pepper that is delicious added to stews, casseroles, paella and sausages. Pimiento peppers are traditionally hot smoked over many hours/days until they are completely dry, however this recipe is much quicker by cold-smoking the peppers before dehydrating.
a) Wash, dry, halve and de-seed peppers. Dry peppers as much as possible.
b) Place the peppers directly onto clean racks inside smoking vessel.
c) Close smoking vessel (and close air vents).
a) Smoke peppers for 30-60 minutes in a small smoking vessel (or 60-90 minutes in a large (200L) smoking vessel). Turn peppers over every 15 minutes if they are on a solid plate in the smoking vessel. NOTE: smoking time provided is for Aussie Smoke Bloke cold smoke generators – other cold smoking units will take longer, adjust time as required according to your manual.
d) Remove peppers from the smoking vessel.
e) Dehydrate smoked peppers in the sun or in a dehydrator until completely dry.
f) Vacuum pack dried smoked peppers for long-term storage in bags or jars. Label and date.
g) Store whole dried smoked peppers in a cool, dark and dry place for up to 6 months. Powdered smoked paprika will keep for several weeks at room temperature but has the best flavour when freshly ground.
A little goes a long way! Don't use too much smoked paprika in your dishes – the smoked flavour can overpower your food. Whole smoked peppers can be added directly into sauces and stews or finely ground and added to meat and vegetable dishes. Unsure on the amount of smoked paprika to use in your food? Start out with half a teaspoon to one teaspoon of smoked paprika powder to add a lovely smoky aroma and flavour.
Want smoked paprika ready in under an hour? The closest you'll get is to cold-smoke paprika powder (sweet/Hungarian paprika) for 30-60 minutes. Pour the powder onto a plate or dish as thin a layer as possible (i.e. less than 1cm) and stir every 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container and use within a few months.
Wash, dry, halve and de-seed peppers. Place the peppers onto the wire rack/s over the fire or in the hot smoker unit. Add wood chips as required (refer to your manual for directions).
TIP: smoking ribs? Place the ribs into the hot smoker and then fill the rest of the unit with the prepared pepper halves. Smoke for the time required for the meat (i.e. 8 hours or so), remove meat when it's ready and turn the hot smoker off. Leave peppers in the hot smoker (turned off) until the next morning. Then finish smoked peppers by sun-drying or dehydrating if required (usually only needed if the peppers are very thick/big).

Vancouver's oldest schoolhouse facing wrecker's ball gets new lease on life – The Globe and Mail
September 17, 2011 Sara Badiali
For 112 years, the schoolhouse at Sir Guy Carleton elementary was abuzz with children reading, writing and doing arithmetic.
But Vancouver's oldest schoolhouse fell silent in 2008 when it was nearly destroyed by arson. It appeared set for demolition until Tuesday, when a local theatre company swooped in to save the landmark yellow building.
Green Thumb Theatre unveiled a $1.2-million plan to transform it into a rehearsal hall. The theatre company, which develops plays relevant to the lives of children and young adults, said it's confident it will raise the money in time for a grand opening next fall.
"We're delighted because Green Thumb Theatre will be restoring our much-cherished heritage schoolhouse to its original splendour and beyond," said Pat Munton, the school's principal. "It's just amazing, it brings tears to my eyes, frankly."
The Carleton schoolhouse was erected in 1896; other buildings were added in later years. The schoolhouse was in continuous use until three years ago, when fire gutted its insides. A section of the roof remained under a blue tarp on Tuesday.
Patti Bacchus, chair of the Vancouver Board of Education, called the arrangement between her organization and Green Thumb Theatre a win-win. Not only will the heritage site be repurposed, she said, but students at the school will get the added benefit of exposure to some of the top theatre educators in B.C.
"The fire that occurred here was, indeed, devastating," Ms. Bacchus said. "We have been very concerned about finding a solution to that. I have to be honest – for quite some time, it looked fairly bleak. We made several approaches to the provincial government to fund the repairs of the building, and those were declined. At one point, it was recommended to us that we proceed with demolition."
Ms. Bacchus said the board was "delighted" when it was approached by the theatre company.
What to do with the schoolhouse, located in the city's Collingwood neighbourhood, has been a controversial issue since the fire. Heritage Vancouver recently placed the building at the top of its list of endangered sites. Dwindling enrolment has also led to questions about whether the rest of the school should be kept open.
B.C. New Democrat Leader Adrian Dix attended Tuesday's announcement at the school, which is in his Vancouver-Kingsway riding. Mr. Dix declared it a "wonderful day" and tipped his cap to members of the community who spoke against the schoolhouse's demolition.
"We were in public hearings, and students at the school who were in this building came and talked about it," Mr. Dix said. "… They talked about how important it was to them that this building be restored, that the tradition they were part of and that goes back in this community for so long be restored and brought back. I think it's an extraordinary thing when young people in Grade 3, or 4, or 5, take up a cause."
After his remarks, the NDP Leader donated $1,000 to the project.
Patrick McDonald, Green Thumb Theatre's artistic director, said the company hopes to raise much of the $1.2-million through municipal and federal arts programs.
"This is a very attainable goal," he said.

While FMS lacks the plush campus as offered at other premier institutes complete with varied facilities, it makes us ready for the real world. In the real world, one might not always get AC rooms, 5star canteens and luxurious rooms to ease our stay. Life at FMS makes one ready to perform their best even in times of scarcity. With juggling a plethora of tasks from seniors, societies, professors and competitions, we also handle our accommodation, travel and food-related issues. It might seem like a small issue, but when one gets 3 hours to himself, these small things matter.
I had reached the final round of the class leader during the induction program. This required a case study to be solved and presented to my batch. This presentation along with the QnA round would then be judged at the time of voting. So, during the QnA round, the batch asked a few questions which got escalated and they got a sense that I'm an arrogant person. Contrary to this belief, I'm not at all arrogant and this experience taught me the need of choosing the right words and body language to comply with the answers to engage the audience in a better manner. This truly taught me lessons which would be helpful for the rest of my life.

As the narrative goes, after LeBron's first contract was up in Cleveland, he naturally had a slew of offers from teams trying to bring in the best player in the league. LeBron is an Akron, Ohio native (as he let the world know in his postgame speech last night); so many people thought he might stay in Cleveland. I, for one, wished thought he was coming to the Knicks.
July 8, 2010 was the day he would announce. Under some obviously terrible advice, LeBron thought it was a good idea to have an hour-long TV special, "The Decision," to announce his choice. That was a dumb move. Nothing says narcissistic like thinking you need an hour devoted to you doing something hundreds of athletes do every year with no attention paid to them. That was the first nail in the LeBron coffin. As far as I can remember, he was beloved before July 8, 2010. It all spiraled downhill from there. He "takes his talents to South Beach," teams up with fellow top-20 players Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, and proceeds to make three straight NBA Finals Appearances, taking home a ring and Finals MVPs in the latter two.
Being a LeBron-apologist, even I admit the choice to make an hour-long special to announce your free agency decision was dumb. Really dumb. Really, really dumb. But he's admitted that he would do that differently if he could. I forgot, we all grew up in the spotlight, with no father figure and a bunch of yes-men following us everywhere. So we're allowed to absolutely despise the man for making an admittedly poor choice.
Honestly, mentioning the hour-long ESPN special in your fight against LeBron is simply stating your stupidity at this point. When you boil it down to its core, this is hating a man for making a bad judgment call. It's hating your ex for breaking up with you via text message. Get over it. Did it come off poorly? Yes. Did it show that LeBron was ignorant to the fact the world doesn't revolve around him? Yes. Was it a one-time mistake? YES! The argument for "The Decision" as being a reason to hate LeBron is dead. Its grave should read: 2010-2011.
No player in the history of the NBA "did it by himself." You know who came the closest to doing it himself? LeBron. In 2007, LeBron made it to the finals with studs such as Larry Hughes, Boobie Gibson and Sasha Pavlovic surrounding him. Every superstar to ever win a championship had great players surrounding him on the court. Michael Jordan, the greatest player ever, had Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen on every single championship team. The Wade to his LeBron. And in case you don't think Scottie Pippen is good enough to compare to Wade, Pippen led the Bulls to the second round of the playoffs both years MJ stepped away from basketball. He was on the Dream Team. He was good. Michael Jordan had help. Larry Bird had help. Magic Johnson had help. Players don't win championships; teams do. So please spare us the argument that LeBron needed help to win a championship. Everyone does.
LeBron did something every single person you know would do. He gave himself the best chance at success that he could. We want our athletes to care about winning championships, correct? We want them to think team first, correct? LeBron checked all of those boxes in making his choice to go to Miami, and he got crucified for it. Make sense of that for me. You're lying to yourself if you think you wouldn't leave a crappy Cleveland team for Miami and a team you can win with.
Even LeBron's on-court game is what every fan says they want in a superstar. Last night, after the win, LeBron was on the set of ESPN NBA Countdown, and he said something that caught my ear. He said, "I get more of a kick having my teammates make a shot off my pass than I get making a shot from one of my teammates' passes." Now, that may sound phony. It sounds like something you'd say to the media to avoid a selfish reputation. But as the old adage goes, "actions speak louder than words." LeBron is no exception. He is the best facilitator in basketball. He has unbelievable vision for anybody, let alone a guy that is listed as a small forward, and he consistently is the best passer on the floor in games that he plays in. All of that, and he still has that killer sense that turned in Game 6 during the Heat's comeback in the fourth quarter and in Game 7's closing minutes.
He is the total package. He's asked to play 42-44 minutes per game. He plays five positions on the floor. He's asked to guard opponent's best players. He's asked to be the team's best scorer, rebounder and passer, and he does it all. He does it all to an exceptional level.
People don't like LeBron for one reason and one reason only: He's threatening Michael Jordan for the title of "Best Player Ever." Everyone will look for any reason to say he is lesser than Air Jordan. Michael wouldn't have done this, Michael would have done that. That's all you ever hear. And I'm not saying LeBron is/will ever be as good as Jordan. I honestly can't tell you; I never got to see Jordan at his greatest (and neither have all the people my age that defend him relentlessly. The irony). But I do know he's going to finish his career as one of the top two players of all time. I don't care if it's one or two, but in 20 years when my children and I are talking about the best NBA players ever, it won't be one player, but a tier of two. Michael and LeBron. Maybe in that order, maybe not, but they'll be together.
I love LeBron because I love greatness. I watch him, and I imagine this is how it must have felt watching Jordan when he was at his best. I get legitimately excited to see what he's going to do next. I don't know how you could hate a player that provides you with that much entertainment. And I pity people that waste their energy doing just that.
And let's not forget that he raised $5.4 MILLION dollars for charity through the Decision program. $5.4 Million in 75 minutes, that's $72,000 a minute. So it's not as "selfish" as people might think. Plus right after the Decision, the Cavaliers president personally attacked him in an open letter. That goes to show how classy Cleveland is.
I think the ultimate irony comes down to Lebron haters continuously stressing that Lebron does not have as many rings as Jordan does but then hate the fact that Lebron took steps to go to the right team that would help him get those championships.
Indeed, not to mention Dan Gilbert's guarantee of a title before LeBron got one. And that's an entire year before Kyrie Irving got involved. Was he expecting Anderson Varejão to pick up LeBron's pieces and average 29.7/8.6/7.3 in 2010-'11? Highly doubtful.

Americana quartet No Dry County are premiering their new song "Bittersweet" exclusively for readers of The Boot. Press play below to listen.
According to the band, "Bittersweet" -- a sweeping alt-country track -- represents the "end of an era."
"It's the understanding that things can't ever be the same, and nor should they. It's the hope that each will find purpose in the midst of the bitter end that brought us here," says songwriter Trent Langford, who is the band's lead vocalist and guitarist. "It's knowing that, despite irreconcilable differences, on a cold night in that dusty old room, the light that burned out too soon could be re-lit, if even for a moment."
Comprised of Langford, Dub Wood on bass and vocals, Bristen Phillips on guitar and Matt Newsom on drums and vocals, No Dry County hail from Lubbock, Texas, and take plenty of influence from their home state. "Bittersweet" appears on the band's forthcoming album, Panhandle Music, which explores the influence of living in the Texas Panhandle, as told through the lens of specific characters.
"Panhandle Music is really an attempt to describe our culture adequately and, through that process, hopefully understand it better ourselves," Langford says. "All of that being said, "Bittersweet" is the track that is most personal to me on a number of different levels, and I think can relate to people from all walks of life who have loved and lost."
Panhandle Music is set for release on June 8. Fans can keep up with No Dry County on their official website.


Single-use capsules are a simple and convenient way of making an espresso-based drink in the comfort of your kitchen or office.
They have grown in popularity over the past few years and these coffee drinkers love affair with pods shows no sign of slowing down.
The downside is that with so many capsule coffee makers to choose from, finding the right one to meet all your needs can be a challenge.
CitizModelled after an art deco skyscraper, the Citiz is one of Nespresso's iconic designs. In addition to looking handsome sitting on your kitchen counter, the Citiz offers a range of useful features. These include the ability to store up to ten used capsules at a time and two cup trays that can accommodate taller mugs and glasses, as well as standard real espresso demitasse and coffee cups. The bottom tray is removable while the top tray is foldable.
The unit is fully automatic, with a neat back-lit feature that is both functional and adds to the aesthetic appeal. The Citiz features a removable water tank that can hold up to 34oz of water. The factory presets allow you to dispense espresso and (larger) lungo-style coffee. The unit is also programmable to custom values.
When you're ready to brew, the Citiz takes around 25 seconds to warm up. Loading the coffee pods is easy. Simply lift the flap on the top of the unit and insert a fresh pod. Select espresso or lungo using the dedicated buttons. Once the coffee has dispensed, the pod is ejected into the drawer below for removal and disposal. Nespresso offers a recycling program for spent pods and you can separate the elements (foil top, aluminum container and used coffee grounds) for responsible disposal.
For extra energy-saving benefit, there is a preset automatic shut-off time of nine minutes, but you can extend this up to 30 minutes if this is more convenient. The Citiz uses 19 bar pump pressure, which is pretty powerful and helps ensure optimal real espresso extraction. The espresso produced by the Citiz espresso machine has a nice layer of crema and the unit certainly gets the best out of the pods.
One of the benefits of the Citiz over the Pixie is that there is the option to purchase a model which has an in-built Aeroccino milk frother, which allows you to produce creamy lattes and cappuccinos, etc. The Aeroccino can also be bought separately.
Maintenance requires carrying out a descaling process around twice a year. A kit can be purchased separately. The outside of the machine can be wiped with a soft cloth and the removable parts cleaned in warm, soapy water.
Overall: If you're looking to take your first steps into the world of the capsule coffee machines, or are searching for a coffee solution for your workplace, the Citiz is a good all-around choice. It offers all the benefits of pod coffee combined with Nespresso's stylish design.
For more details on the Citiz, you can check out our standalone full review here.
Small but perfectly formed, the Pixie is shorter in height than the Citiz and comes in a wider range of colors. With its textured aluminum sides, this is a more modern, industrial design than the Citiz which may look nicer in minimalist-style kitchens.
As you can see from the specifications detailed above, this model shares much in common with its counterpart. Similarities include the snazzy back-lit feature, quick heat-up time, and ability to store up to ten used capsules at once. You will also notice it uses the same 19 bar pump pressure, which ensures the Pixie is capable of optimally extracting the coffee during the brewing process. This means both machines offer the same coffee quality. There are preset and programmable espresso and lungo options, just as with the Citiz. Again, maintenance requires carrying out a descaling process around twice a year, while the outside of the machine can be wiped with a soft cloth and the removable parts cleaned in warm soapy water.
So what are the differences? One thing you'll notice is that the water tank capacity is a full 10oz less than the Citiz. For light home users, this may not be such an issue, but for heavy use, such as large households or workplaces, this may be an important factor in choosing between these two machines. However, to complicate matters, the Pixie does feature a handy 'empty water' indicator that lets you know when you need to refill the reservoir, something not found on the Citiz model. In addition, while the Pixie features the same nine-minute auto shut-off feature, this is fixed and cannot be programmed for longer.
The basic operation of the Pixie is the same as the Citiz. However, the procedure for loading capsules is slightly different. With the Pixie, you lift the lever, which pushes out the brew head. You can then place a pod in the slot and push the lever back down to retract the brew head. Selecting the espresso or lungo options is done via the dedicated buttons, just as with the Citiz. Again, once the coffee has dispensed, the pod is ejected into the drawer below for removal and disposal.
The Pixie has a single foldable cup/drip tray that can accommodate taller mugs and glasses. However, this feature is a little less flexible than the Citiz. To remove the drip tray, you also need to remove the spent pod drawer. Additionally, the Pixie model does not offer the option of an integrated frother. If you want to be able to steam milk, you can buy the Aeroccino separately.
Overall: With its more 'industrial' design, the Pixie might not be as aesthetically iconic as the Citiz, but make no mistake; this is a Nespresso capsule machine of equal quality and much the same functionality, with a few slight variants.
For more details, you can check out our full stand alone review of the Pixie here.
Both machines are well-made and offer all the benefits of Nespresso pods. Bought new, they come with welcome packs of 16 Nespresso capsules to get you started. The price point on both is similar, depending on the color and bundle options you select, as well as any deals available at the time of purchase. In general, the Pixie tends to be slightly cheaper.
As to the coffee quality, that really is a no-brainer with both the Citiz and Pixie. After all, the whole point of the pods is that they offer a foolproof way to make espresso-style coffee. In short, if you like pod-based coffee, you really can't go wrong with either of these machines as they essentially work in the same way. The difference between the Citiz and Pixie lies mainly in the design and features on offer.
The Citiz has a water reservoir which is 10oz larger than the Pixie, which may make it more attractive to some users, such as office workers looking for a convenient workplace coffee solution. In addition, you can opt for the Citiz model with the built-in milk frother.
Aesthetically-speaking, the Citiz's tall, slender 'Chicago art deco' design is arguably more appealing. The slightly shorter, modern Pixie is a more compact unit and comes in a varied range of colors to match with your other appliances.
So, which is the best? Well, that's really up your personal taste and needs. But while we can't make the final decision for you, hopefully, this guide has helped you in your search for the perfect pod machine!


The Board of Directors and staff of the Texas Horsemen's Partnership would like to wish all Texas horsemen Happy New Year. We hope you enjoy a safe and happy holiday, as well as a prosperous 2006.
In observance of the holiday, the THP's main Austin office will be closed on Monday, January 2.


Scuttle Bug: For endless fun and entertainment, the Scuttlebug Ride-on is a terrific choice for active little ones and those learning to move their little legs and feet. While the toy's plastic feels lightweight, parents noted that it was surprisingly sturdy. After a few hits into walls and the ground over two months of testing, the scooter remained intact. The easy fold up capability is a huge bonus for parents who feel like they are always trying to find places to store toys. It also allows for the scooter to be tossed in the car and taken along for the ride. With all things considered, the age range for this toy is exactly on point, something testers really appreciate. The Scuttlebug seat is the perfect size for little bottoms aged 1-3 and moves with ease indoors and outdoors. The seat seems to be quite comfortable and the turning radius is exceptionally tight. Parents said that their toddlers often rode around in circles in the kitchen while they were cooking dinner. Parents felt that the cost of the Scuttlebug Ride On is right in line with others in its category and, considering how many boxes this toy checks off, it is something that they would definitely buy and recommend to others.
Scramble Bug: The Scramblebug Ride On is an absolutely adorable looking first ride-on toy. The design is appealing and clever even using the handle bars to look like the bug's "antennae." The assembly of the Scramblebug was straightforward and easy which parents appreciated but they really loved how the Scramblebug folds flat with just three clicks. This makes it very easy to store out of sight or take along on road trips. In a unique design twist the back of the seat is slightly higher than the front so a child can start out riding toward the front and then slide back in the seat as they grow. When it comes to riding the standout feature of the Scramblebug is that all four wheels can rotate 360 degrees. This means that it can go forwards, backwards and sideways with ease. It can even spin around in circles. Not only is this fun, but it's also a great chance for toddlers to practice their balance while the handlebar steering is great for developing strong motor skills.
Scootie Bug: The Scootiebug Scooter is a great first scooter for little riders. Wee ones will love the way it looks and will find it easy to hop on and learn how to scoot. Visually, Scootiebug has a big personality with it's fun-loving lady bug design, big eyes and smiley face on the front and black and polka dots on the back. It's kind of a kid magnet. This appealing design proved to be both effective and friendly, making the scooter attractive for toddlers who might be a little intimidated by the idea of riding a scooter. The scooter folds easily, a feature that is a great space saving option. The Scootiebug's wheels roll very smoothly over pavements even those with minor cracks, providing a very gentle ride. The deck provides adequate stiffness and is non-slip creating a stable surface to stand on. The handle bars are attached with rubber grips and are adjustable to fit the child's height even as they grow giving it even greater value. This is a 3 wheeled scooter, which means the Scootiebug turns when the child shifts his or her weight, so learning to steer will take a short time initially but becomes a fairly intuitive process. Bottom line is that this really is an adorable, functional first scooter.

Writing Shad's Tale
Posted on April 17, 2014 by dgoold
"SHAD'S TALE" — Page 1
WASHINGTON — As I plunged into Cardinals history for a book several years ago, one of the minor stories that always felt like it had major possibilities was the legend spun by pitcher Flint Rhem. A righty with the Cardinals, Rhem went missing for several days in September 1930 while the team was in New York, set to play a key series against the Brooklyn Dodgers. He returned to the team with this fantastic tale of kidnapping, thugs, and forced binging. It was all fiction, of course. Longtime Post-Dispatch columnist and Cardinals chronicler Bob Broeg wrote that Rhem had all the talent in the world but would drink himself out of the game. He certainly drank himself into this story. Still, it was fertile ground for writing. The gaps in memories are always fun to fill, and here were two days — two whole days — carved out of Cardinals history that were blank. What did Rhem do during his "kidnapping"? What could have Rhem done during his "kidnapping"? Maybe he really was ambushed by thugs and forced to chug grain alcohol for two days. Maybe there was a gambling element, because isn't there always? Maybe he raced around New York saving cats from trees, apprehending robbers, and doing so much good that no one would believe him anyway. Or, as I thought when the opportunity to came to write this story, maybe he saved baseball.
Many months ago, I was asking at the comic shop about a local St. Louis group, Ink and Drink Comics, and the anthologies they had produced in recent years — sci-fi, romance, horror, wild west. A lapsed cartoonist with a comic sweet tooth, I always wanted to try my hand at writing a comic book story. It would be a good challenge.
Jim Mosley, an artist and a friend, offered me that chance.
Ink and Drink was putting together another anthology, this one to celebrate the 250th anniversary of St. Louis. All of the stories would have a St. Louis vibe or St. Louis inspiration or involve a St. Louis theme. If I had a story, I could contribute.
It took some time, but eventually I found the story: old friend Rhem.
The idea was to use Rhem's tale of kidnapping as a setup for why baseball means so much to St. Louis, and how all of these highlights have found the Local Nine. Driving back from St. Paul on The Avenue of the Saints this winter, I was able to find a way to connect Rhem's excuse — thugs, benders, clothes drenched with alcohol — with highlights from St. Louis' baseball history, stirred gently around a Babe Ruth-signed baseball that does exist (with one key bit of creative license) and time travel, which we assume even for Rhem does not exist. The result I hope is a fantasized retelling of completely untrue but actual event. Let's call it an inebriated legend.
The first page of the six-page story we put together appears at the top of this entry. Below are some of the first breakdowns and scripts that I put together. The graphic novel, "Home Brew," goes on sale this weekend in St. Louis, and there have been few times in my life when I've been giddier. I am thrilled that they let a baseball writer take part in their comic. As the character of Rhem explains in the story, his nickname is "Shad," and he got that nickname because Shad is a type of fish and he was always going on and on about something fantastic happening. This is how we put together his fish story:

Jim (and then Jenni and Jason) did a tremendous job converting my sketches,scribbles, and script from this spiral bound notebook, which you can see above, into these living, vibrant pages. When writing an article for the paper or a chapter in a book, all of the action happens on the page, within the paragraphs. As I wrote "Shad's Tale" I learned that the action has to jump off the page — and that is entirely the artist's doing. This wasn't like writing a screenplay or a play or even a short story. The art has to tell the story as much as the words do. Maybe even more. Without the art the story doesn't have any soul and it also doesn't have any readers. Some of the things I wanted to try — the highlight pinwheel, the rapid-fire exchange on page 3 — wouldn't have had a chance without Jim's art.
This weekend I get to find out what readers think. Did I say giddy? OK, now a little nervous…

Derek Drouin after winning the high jump at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (AFP / Getty Images) © Copyright
24 SEP 2016 Feature
After making it back from the brink, Drouin is living his dream
When Derek Drouin soared to gold at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games courtesy of a flawless record up to and including his winning height of 2.38m, it seemed hard to imagine the difficult road he had taken to stand tall at the top of the podium.
Yet only three months earlier, the laid-back Canadian received the kind of blow which would have crushed many athletes after an MRI scan revealed he had a double stress fracture of the back.
"I had been duelling with the problem since January," said Drouin, who subsequently had to cut short his indoor season. "But I did not find out until shortly after the Doha Diamond League meet [where he had placed fifth with 2.29m] that I had two fractures."
This was not, however, a time to panic as Drouin took on a typically measured and positive approach to the challenges he faced.
"I was optimistic that if I did everything people told me to do, it was going to be fine," he explains. "I was confident I could deal with the pain. I only needed to get to Rio, where I knew the adrenaline and the competition would mask any pain.
"Certainly there were times when I did wonder whether I would get to Rio or how healthy I would be. I think overall I stayed pretty optimistic. It may at times have felt like false hope, but over time it started to turn around."
Of course, as history taught us, the 1.94m tall Drouin is a man to be trusted in the face of adversity.
Back in 2015, it was not injury issues but coaching dynamics which had contributed to a slump in form and confidence. At the end of 2014 – a season when Drouin secured the Commonwealth title and leapt a Canadian record of 2.40m – his long-time coach Jeff Huntoon left their coaching base in Indiana to take up a new position at Athletics Canada's East High Performance Hub in Toronto. Drouin opted to stay put in the US, but the long-distance coaching arrangement was clearly not working.
"For a lot of reasons this was very difficult and the way I was feeling in April-May of 2015, I knew I didn't want to feel that way in the April-May of an Olympic year.
"I'm disciplined enough to do the workouts on my own, but in such a highly technical event you really need eyes on you at every practice and when we were far apart this was happening too infrequently.
"It might have been a little easier if I was someone who watched (jumping) videos all the time, but I'm not. I've always done everything on feel through my entire career, so I always need someone to help me out."
Coupled with that, Drouin and Huntoon acknowledged that to seriously challenge for the world record (belonging to Cuba's Javier Sotomayor at 2.45m) then more speed would need to be injected into the Canadian's run-up. Making these technical changes without a coach was proving near-impossible.
The pair made steps to remedy the situation. Leading into the Pan American Games, which were handily held in Toronto, Huntoon and Drouin reunited for a period and ahead of the IAAF World Championships Beijing 2015, the pair spent a period working in a pre-camp together.
Drouin's confidence grew and last August he triumphed in a three-way jump-off to strike gold with 2.34m in Beijing.
"If someone has told me in May or early June (2015) that I would win the world title, I would have been very surprised, yet over time it became something I thought was possible," he admits.
Learning the lessons of the difficult 2015 campaign last October, Drouin relocated to Toronto to work alongside Huntoon on a daily basis. Although the move had gone well, the double stress fracture threatened to derail his ambitions for Rio.
Yet the Canadian is one tough cookie. Regarded as one of the mentally toughest competitors on the high jump circuit, he refused to lose his self-belief.
To further bolster his mental resources, he connected with a sports psychologist for the first time in his career – JF Menard – who helped guide Drouin through a sometimes difficult year.
After taking three weeks complete rest following the double stress fracture, he gradually started to feel better. He returned to competition in July but a series of modest performances were a concern.
"I started to feel like my old self, but this wasn't necessarily translating into high heights," says Drouin, who finished seventh at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Monaco in mid-July with a best of 2.27m.
Yet within 48 hours something clicked. In Eberstadt he leapt a season's best of 2.38m and any doubts had been erased.
The final piece in the jigsaw became apparent several days before Drouin was due to compete in the high jump qualification in Rio. He woke up in the Olympic Village one morning having dreamed he had struck Olympic gold. He initially felt 'relieved' before a jolt of reality hit him like a thunderbolt.
"When I quickly realised it was a dream, I remember thinking, 'why am I relieved and so happy this is over?' I have grown up my entire life dreaming of going to the Olympic Games, yet here I am wishing it away. I had to stop wishing this was over and enjoy the moment."
Adopting a new more relaxed 'excited-to-be-there' attitude proved the perfect recipe for success.
After comfortably qualifying for the final, Drouin was a picture of calm focus in the medal battle. Unlike at the London Olympics four years before when he was simply delighted to take bronze, this time his sole desire was gold.
"I had it in my mind that 2.40m was what it would take to win this thing," explains Drouin. "I didn't sigh that relief when there were just three people left in the competition because my goal was not to get on the podium, it was to win. My thought process never changed and I knew any mistake could cost me gold."
He made no mistakes – at least not when it counted – with six first-time clearances up to and including 2.38m. He simply strangled the life out of the opposition. With gold assured, he made one unsuccessful attempt at 2.40m, but it mattered not.
"When you dream about something for so long, it is really hard not to feel a flood of emotions go through you," he says. "Just five seconds before I found out (I had won gold) I was gung-ho that I was going to clear 2.40m – then it hits you like a tonne of bricks. It was amazing, it was a feeling I will never forget. Winning gold was probably one of the most powerful waves of emotions I've ever felt."
World and Olympic champion, not to mention Pan American and Commonwealth champion, Drouin has the complete set of outdoor titles. It is tempting to ask what next for the 26-year-old, who hails from the small Ontarian township of Corunna.
Of course, he would love to start the defence of his title with the IAAF World Championships London 2017, yet as a man with an indoor heptathlon PB of 5817, he feels he also has some combined events ambitions to fulfil.
"I don't feel I'm done with the combined events, whether that is an indoor heptathlon or outdoor decathlon, I'd love one day to compete for Canada," he explains. "The unofficial, but not written, target would be to compete at the Commonwealth Games. I think I could score more than 8000 (in the decathlon), but in the past I've been much better at the indoor heptathlon. I really have no idea what I could score, but I'm excited to find out."
With a mental approach to the sport many would envy, anything is possible.

AltiGator is a multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturer founded in 2008 and headquartered in Waterloo, Walloon Brabant, Belgium. It produces complete ready-to-fly radio-controlled miniature UAVs for various professional applications. It also holds a web-shop providing spare parts, self-assembly kits and accessories for drones.
AltiGator UAVs are registered under the OnyxStar trademark which is a brand for Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) and camera mounts dedicated to this sector. They are embedding Pixhawk or MikroKopter's flight electronics and can lift a broad range of sensors.
AltiGator builds French DGAC-certified Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) used by many UAV operators in France as listed on the Directorate General for Civil Aviation website. Therefore, the company is also listed as a certified drone manufacturer on the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy website because this Ministry is also in charge of Transportation and Aviation purposes.
In late April 2016, because of the brand new drone regulation in Belgium, AltiGator also became the first Belgian UAV manufacturer ever approved by the DGLV (Belgian Civil Aviation Authorities). Indeed, AltiGator drones are listed on the official list of class 1a certified drones.
- July 2014: AltiGator and YellowScan unveiled a complete solution for LiDAR scanning featuring the OnyxStar FOX-C8 HD together with YellowScan Mapper.
- October 2016: AltiGator and YellowScan unveiled a complete solution for Urban LiDAR surveying featuring the OnyxStar XENA together with YellowScan Surveyor.
