Although the interior of the Vanquish S is virtually as new, the center armrest foam had started to sag recently as a result of my lazy right elbow. I decided to drive the car to work today and have Carlos remove the armrest and install new closed cell foam beneath the hide, before reinstalling it in the car.
I really am very lucky to have a team of world class technicians available to help me with my personal cars!
This magnificent Aston Martin Vanquish S may just be the best car I have ever owned. I love the muscular styling, the sumptuously comfortable cabin, and of course the menacing howl of the V12 engine. Having covered just 3,800 miles since it was personally ordered by racing and business legend Roger Penske, it is as close to new condition as any 2005 car could possibly be. I seriously doubt there is a better Vanquish S anywhere in the world. Mechanically the car is absolutely flawless and a joy to drive.
I took advantage of an absolutely beautiful fall afternoon in Austin today and went cruising in the Aston. While I was out the milometer turned over 3333, which I felt had to be a good omen!
Last week we installed a new Quick Silver Super Sport exhaust in the Vanquish S. The good folk at Quick Silver in England, whose high quality products I have been enjoying for many years, kindly agreed to make me a custom exhaust that promised a few more decibels over their usual offering. In fairness the car already sounded pretty sporty as the vacuum had been disconnected from the silencer exhaust flaps. With the new Quick Silver system the Aston now sounds absolutely fantastic. Engine start-up and idle sound way more aggressive than stock, and at higher rpm, the pipes emit a menacing howl.
Click on the photo below for a short video clip of engine firing and idle.
Fitting the Super Sport system was a breeze, as we have come to expect with Quick Silver's products, with the entire installation taking around 4 hours. As an additional benefit, the new QS system weighed in at just over 26 lbs, representing a saving of almost 50 lbs over the OEM unit.
OEM system weighs 75 lbs !!
I am absolutely thrilled to have recently acquired this spectacular 2005 Aston Martin Vanquish S. This is a very special car, first owned by racing and business legend Roger Penske, who special ordered the Silver Birch paint. I understand this is one of just two cars in this color, the other being a RHD Vanquish S in England. Mr Penske only put 580 miles on the car during his six years of ownership, and the car had only covered a total of 2,400 miles at the time I bought it.
I had originally thought I might have one of the Aston Martin Works 6 speed manual transmissions installed, but the paddle shifted manual transmission works exceptionally well and I have actually been enjoying using it much more than I did with my previous Vanquish S. So far all I have done is put some new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in each corner (although I have kept the original Yokohamas for posterity) and my friends at Quick Silver Exhausts in England are making me a custom Super Sports exhaust system.
The Vanquish is currently with Bespoke Paint Protection in Cedar Park having the old clear protective film removed and replaced on the front bumper and splitter.
cabin than any other car I have owned!
The Vanquish even came with a matching pedal car!


This TaylorMade Raylor Hybrid picks your golf ball out of the rough like no other. The shape of the head is specifically designed to get through the long stuff and launch your ball high and long.
The leading edge is pointed, and the clubhead is very compact. In addition, the center of gravity is very low, which is what helps the ball fly high at impact.
My only complaint about the club is it only comes in two lofts. TaylorMade could do themselves (and us) a huge favor by offering this club in a lower loft for those of us who want to add a club with a more penetrating ball flight. Currently, you can only get it in 19 and 22 degree lofts.
For a more workable option, take a look at the Titleist 909 H Hybrid and Mizuno MP CLK Hybrid.

Seahawks bring back CB Lucas, also sign FB Griffith
Published: Apr 27, 2009 at 11:44 AM
RENTON, Wash. -- After rescinding their franchise tag on linebacker Leroy Hill, the Seahawks have brought back free-agent cornerback Ken Lucas.
Ken Lucas, CB
Games/Starts: 16/16
Tackles: 60
Interceptions: 2
Monday's signing fill Seattle's need for more size in the secondary.
The team also announced it signed veteran fullback Justin Griffith. Both get one-year contracts.
Lucas began his career in Seattle as its second-round pick in 2001. He signed with Carolina as a free agent after the 2004 season and played four seasons there. The Panthers released him last month in a salary-cap move.
He has played in 122 career games with 106 starts, 24 interceptions and 100 passes defensed.
Griffith was drafted by Atlanta in the fourth round in 2003. He spent four years with the Falcons before signing with Oakland in 2007.

Greenville public transportation is very popular, due in part to the low cost and convenience associated with it. Sometimes, however, when bus drivers and other individuals are careless or negligent while behind the wheel, catastrophic motor vehicle accidents, personal injuries, and damages can result.
Bus accidents may involve school buses, city buses, or municipal buses, just to name a few. The National School Transportation Association (NSTA) and/or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) often take the lead on school bus accident investigations.
If you have been suffered due to a bus accident, you need a knowledgeable Greenville bus accident lawyer on your side representing you throughout your case. An experienced injury attorney can advocate for you every step of the way.
In an accident case, the defendant or defendants are the individuals whom the injured plaintiff is suing – usually for negligence – and who are potentially responsible for causing the accident and bringing about the resulting injuries and damages. In Greenville bus accident cases, the most likely defendants are bus drivers, bus companies, and other motor vehicle drivers who caused or contributed to the accident.
In many cases, a bus accident occurs when the bus driver drives in a reckless, careless, negligent, or distracted manner, and collides with another vehicle. In other cases, the bus driver drives reasonably under the circumstances but another vehicle negligently collides with the bus. In some bus accident cases where the plaintiff's injuries and damages were caused by defective equipment, the injured plaintiff may have a legal cause of action against a parts manufacturer or repair facility under a products liability theory of recovery.
An experienced Greenville bus accident lawyer will be able to review the facts and circumstances of a bus accident case and make a determination about which potential defendant or defendants to sue.
In a Greenville bus accident case, the injured bus passenger bears the burden of proving negligence on the part of the defendant or defendants.
If you have been injured in a bus accident, it is essential that you seek a Greenville bus accident lawyer early on in your case. An experienced bus accident attorney in Greenville can discuss the facts and circumstances of your case with you, negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, and litigate your case up through trial, if necessary.


The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredge CURRITUCK in New England in 2012.
A series of dredging projects in Carteret County are taking place in the coming weeks, including work in Bogue Sound.
The Army Corps of Engineers dredge CURRITUCK is wrapping up dredging operations in Bulkhead Channel near the Beaufort waterfront. Then, they'll spend three to four days in nearby Bogue Sound touching-up some areas of concern.
"The channel has been in pretty good condition this whole entire year," said Greg Rudolph, Carteret County Shore Protection Manager. Dredging in the Bogue Sound will focus on removing "pinch points," areas where sediment has collected in the channel. Both projects are paid for by state and local funds.
After work in Bogue Sound is complete, the Army Corps of Engineers will begin dredging at Homer's Point in Salter Path. That project is slated to begin the day after Labor Day.
Rudolph said two dredging projects at East Taylor's Creek and Wainwright Slough are still in the permitting phase.

Some common-sense reasons to visit the Holy Land.
Nowhere else in the world can you board a boat on the Sea of Galilee and float where Jesus once walked.
The Holy Land is fascinating and people from every generation flock to it as sure- ly as water flows to a low spot. What is it that makes this part of the globe so alluring? Is it the palpable presence of important history that per- vades the place? Yes indeed. Is it the sense of spirituality that seems to saturate the very soil in this land that hosted the birth of three of the world's great religions? For many visitors that's the main point.
Is it because past, present and future seem to coalesce in some special way in this spot? That is true as well.
While the charm of the Mediterranean Middle East may seem to focus on ancient times, the experience of travelling in biblical lands is very much a matter of the here and now. It offers a smorgasbord of sensations that serves to connect the inspiring events of days gone by with a wide range of the beliefs and aspirations of people today.
And for North Americans it's rather exotic, a whole lot of fun and surprisingly safe.
So what's it like to be a visitor in the country that stands squarely in the crossroads of civilizations?
evident you're not in Calgary anymore.
Your nostrils will be awakened as well. At one moment you may be breathing in the serenity of the Garden Tomb, an oasis of green space just outside the city wall of Old Jerusalem. In the next you will re-enter the commotion of a diesel-fumed bus stop.
The scents of incense and spices permeate the marketplaces. You can savour the sweet tang of citrus in groves found throughout the country, and sniff the musty and dusty odours of camels, sheep and donkeys crowding the roadsides.
Bring your appetite along. Middle Eastern fare is a delight to the palate. Healthy breakfast buffets piled with yogourts, fruits, cheeses and breads offer an excellent start to the day. St. Peter's Fish (tilapia) is a staple in the Galilee region. Shawarma and falafel, kebabs, olives and more make for quick and tasty lunches.

People are extremely busy nowadays. So, there is nothing surprising about the fact that an average person eagerly grabs every possibility to save this valuable time. That is why multiple maintenance services are in great demand at the moment.
The Internet has turned into a huge Yellow Pages book long ago. Whenever a person needs a maintenance service, the one goes online and opens a search engine. If you are an owner of a maintenance business, do not miss your chance to become successful. If you want a prospective customer to find your business, it has to be online. If you don't know what to begin with, here are some startup ideas to help you make a maintenance website on your own, using maintenance services templates.
To start with, you need to choose a template which will reflect your business in the best possible way. No matter what maintenance service you are carrying on, selection of high-quality website templates. For instance, If you are into cleaning services, there are some excellent web themes that fit your business like this attractive Cleaning Pro Responsive Website Template.
If you deal with servicing swimming pools, you should have a look at the beautiful Vip Pool Company Responsive Website Template.
Being an owner of a construction company, you may like the stunning design of the Home Repairs Premium MotoCMS 3 Template.
You have to think over thoroughly what information to present on your home page. People should have a clear view of your services, so promote them in an up-to-matter way to lure your target audience.
You can also stress the positive aspects of your business. For example, if you are in equipment maintenance service, you can point out the importance of predictability. Meet your clients with the main advantages of your company and pricing beforehand.
One more way is demonstrating some statistics of the overall savings of those clients who regularly maintain their equipment versus the costs for those who do not.
You should devise a comprehensible pricing system, giving the exhaustive information about all the details. Be fair with your prospective clients, and they will appreciate this for sure.
Don't forget to offer various discounts. When customers see how they can save, they are much more likely to take advantage of your services.
Without any doubt, contacts with clients are of extreme importance for any business owner. Make sure your contact information is clear and visible. Provide your clients with several contact solutions. For this purpose, you can use the contacts page, or keep them on your home page.
For example, if your services are related to home appliances repair, make sure your customers can find you instantly.
You should provide your clients with the possibility to leave their feedbacks. It will help you react quickly to all the problems and improve the quality of your services. Positive feedbacks (or testimonials) may encourage visitors of your website to become your new customers.
Add a callback option or live chat to your website to help your clients in case of necessity. Create a newsletter for sending via e-mail. Thus you will keep your customers informed about the latest news about your business, including new services and discounts.

Becca Kufrin Addresses Why Garrett Wasn't at the 'Bachelor in Paradise' Wedding
Stefanie Parker August 28, 2019
On Tuesday night's episode of Bachelor in Paradise, fans got a glimpse into Krystal Nielson and Chris Randone's gorgeous wedding in which many stars from Bachelor Nation attended. But one star in particular was not present — and that's former Bachelorette star Becca Kufrin's fiancé, Garrett Yrigoyen.
After noticing that Becca had gone solo to the wedding, fans immediately questioned if Becca and Garrett are still together.
Where's Garrett? Why is Becca there alone? #BachelorInParadise

Is Becca still with what's his name? I don't see him there. #BachelorInParadise
— AnnetteFun (@NancyKauf) August 28, 2019
But fear not, the 29-year-old has taken to her Instagram Stories to shed light on the status of her relationship with Garrett.
"So many people have been DM'ing me about why Garrett wasn't with me at the wedding. Blah, blah, blah," Becca says in a series of videos. "It's actually kind of annoying me because we still are individuals and we still sometimes like to do our own thing."
What Happened Between Derek Peth & Taylor Nolan? Inside the 'Bachelor in Paradise' Couple's Split
The brunette beauty went on to explain that Garrett had a surprise birthday party so he wasn't able to attend, but she had a great time catching up with her former Bachelor co-stars like Tia Booth, Kendall Long, and Bibiana Julian. Tia actually referred to Becca has her "wedding date" in an adorable post.
Finally I can post my wedding date! Vidanta really is a beautiful resort and it was nice just being a guest this time around! Congratulations to @coachkrystal_ and @chrisrandone it was absolutely beautiful, and I'm so glad I got to witness it! #musiccitypresets #BIP #craycraytown

"It's OK to do your own thing in a relationship sometimes," she concluded her rant. "Sorry, guys. You know we can't do everything together, as much as I want to."
Becca and Garrett got engaged in the Season 14 finale of The Bachelorette back in 2018 and although keep a relatively low profile, seem to be stronger than ever. On the one-year anniversary of their engagement, Becca took to Instagram to share a video of the special moment. "Thank you for this life," she wrote in the sweet caption.
365 days down and forever to go. . . . Thanks to my amazing friend @zacharycnelson, who sent me this footage when Garrett and I thought it was lost and that we'd never see it. It was taken right after our engagement in the most breathtaking place I've ever been to. We were told we could go into the water but couldn't get my dress wet. Oops. We got so caught up in the moment that we didn't care about anything else other than each other and how we could finally be "us." I love you @gy_yrigoyen, happy anniversary. Thank you for this life

As an only child, I kind of enjoy the solitude that comes with working from home. Of course, as I tell people when they ask if I like it better: If I could walk across the hall, and be in the office downtown, I'd go into work every day.
When I'm at home, though, I can watch Hulu during my lunch break without looking like I'm slacking off.

LGBTQ Students At CU Boulder Pledge To Find 'Home' On Campus
KUNC | By Stephanie Daniel
Published October 8, 2019 at 12:46 PM MDT

Members of Theta Pi Sigma and rushees get to know each other during rush week. Theta Pi Sigma is a Greek organization at the University of Colorado Boulder open to students of all genders and sexual identities.
It's the second night of rush week for Theta Pi Sigma, a Greek letter organization at the University of Colorado Boulder. More than a dozen students have split into two groups to play a Google version of Family Feud. Senior Naya O'Reilly huddles with one of the teams.
"Do we want a name?" O'Reilly asked the group. "Team name anyone?"
O'Reilly identifies as a non-binary femme, using the pronouns they/them/theirs.
After arriving at CU, O'Reilly said they didn't fit in on the majority white campus and endured discrimination and microaggressions. O'Reilly, who is mixed-race, black, Filipina and Mexican, even considered leaving for a time.
"I was like, I don't like CU. I feel like I don't belong here," they said. "Theta Pi, thank God, became my home and cemented my place here."
Theta Pi Sigma, one of about 20 Greek letter organizations on the Boulder campus, is open to any gender and sexual identity.
O'Reilly was part of the first pledge class in the spring of 2018 and has been president of Theta Pi Sigma since then. They specifically chose the organization to make friends and feel comfortable. Theta Pi Sigma is not a sorority or fraternity, and members are called "siblings."
"They wouldn't have called me a brother or a sister," O'Reilly said. "I didn't have to fall within a binary for them. I could be genuinely who I am, no matter what that was with them."
Theta Pi Sigma was originally founded at the University of California Santa Cruz in 2005 and according the website, the first all-gendered Greek letter organization. There are about six chapters at colleges across the U.S.

Senior Naya O'Reilly is president of Theta Pi Sigma, a Greek organization at the University of Colorado Boulder open to students of all genders and sexual identities.
Phi Beta Kappa , founded in the 1776, was first fraternal organization in the United States and first to use a Greek letter name. By the turn of the 20th century, said Kathleen Gillon, an assistant professor of higher education at the University of Maine, fraternities and sororities were a college staple. But only for those permitted to attend.
"Traditionally fraternities and sororities were created around traditional notions of both gender and sexuality," said Gillon, who researches Greek life. "So, typically this was a white student, cisgender students, Protestant students, upper-class students."
As higher education opened its doors to more and more students of color, Greek life began to reflect this diversity. The first black and Asian American fraternities were founded in 1906 and 1929. This was in response to students being excluded, Gillon said, within their academic and co-curricular experiences. Over the past century, Greek letter organizations have blossomed to include all gender and groups.
"We see queer and trans or non-binary, gender non-binary students responding and creating organizations that allow them to identify and socialize and engage in ways that are authentic and representative of who they are," Gillon said.
Members of Theta Pi Sigma and rushees participate in a game night during rush week.
Eli Harvey is at the Theta Pi Sigma rush event. He identifies as a pansexual, African American, non-binary transgender man. Harvey is a freshman and potential recruit, but before learning about Theta Pi Sigma, he considered joining a fraternity.
"The fact that I'm not cis but you know, not all the way transitioning yet," Harvey said. "It's hard to try to find people or specifically fraternities that will be like, yeah, come and join."
So far though, Harvey is enjoying the rush process and plans to attend all the Theta Pi Sigma events. He's met new people and feels comfortable talking about gender, sexuality and race.
"They really try their hardest to invite all of us into a space where we feel welcome and safe," Harvey said. "I couldn't ask for anything better."
Harvey is part of another all-gendered community on CU Boulder's campus. He lives in Spectrum, a residence hall for LGBTQ students. Freshman Char Donaldson, who is white and transitioning from male to female, also lives there. The dorm has made living on campus "really, really" easy for Donaldson, who says they have met many people who are accepting and similar to them.
Naya O'Reilly and members of their team participate in game night as part of Theta Pi Sigma's rush week.
Donaldson is also having fun at the game night but is on the fence about pledging Theta Pi Sigma.
"I'd have to know about it because I know it's a really fun group," they said. "But I don't know about the responsibility and I have to spend time doing school and stuff like that."
Theta Pi Sigma currently has 20 active members. President Naya O'Reilly believes the organization is shaking up Greek life traditions.
"I hope and do believe that Greek life is going to start slowly molding itself to look more similar to Theta Pi Sigma, because everyone should be given a chance to be a Greek."

The "American Dream" was coined in 1931 and since then the phrase has inspired people to work hard and dream big. But is it achievable today? Graduating from college is challenging, jobs are changing, and health care and basic rights can be a luxury. I report on the barriers people face and overcome to succeed and create a better life for themselves and their families.

Acting Financial Services Superintendent Linda A. Lacewell and Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, Jr. today announced the Department of Financial Services (DFS) and the Office of the Manhattan District Attorney have fined Standard Chartered Bank $463.4 million for violating sanctions laws that concealed illegal financial transactions clients engaged in with Iran and other sanctioned countries. The global settlement announced today was reached in conjunction with the Manhattan District Attorney, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Treasury Department, the New York branch of the Federal Reserve Bank, and the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority. Since DFS launched an investigation of the bank in 2012, Standard Chartered has paid fines to New York totaling more than $1.1 billion.
"Global financial institutions serve as the first line of defense against money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities and those that fail to foster a strong compliance culture will be held accountable," said Acting Superintendent Lacewell. "While Standard Chartered has taken significant remedial measures since 2014 to develop a more robust program to prevent these egregious activities, the time has come for the bank to finish the job. DFS will take whatever measures necessary to ensure that the bank lives up to its word and maintains effective safeguards against sanctions violations and money laundering. We appreciate the cooperation and assistance of the Office of the Manhattan District Attorney, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the U.S. Departments of Justice and Treasury in helping DFS resolve this matter."
The misconduct uncovered by DFS and resolved today related to $600 million in U.S. dollar clearing transactions between 2008 and 2014 that originated from Standard Chartered's London home office and its Dubai branch and that were transmitted to its branch in New York City, in violation of federal and New York State laws. Despite the bank's repeated assurances to the Department, DFS's on-going investigation identified significant gaps in the bank's payment systems controls, incomplete customer due diligence, inadequate sanctions compliance leadership and little oversight of employees in Dubai.
The bank also conducted an additional $20 million in U.S. dollar payments for illegal transactions involving Syrian, Sudanese, Burmese and Cuban entities. A majority of these transactions also flowed through the bank's New York Branch.
DFS's investigation found that both a senior U.S. sanctions compliance officer, and a senior U.K. sanctions compliance officer utterly failed to take steps to ensure that transactions from Iran were blocked after bank staff discovered dozens of clients used an internet platform known as "Straight-to-Bank," or "S2B," to access U.S. dollar accounts from Iran. Instead, the two executives proceeded in a "business-as-usual fashion", undertaking a sluggish effort to try and persuade business managers to implement blocking of the S2B platform in Iran and other sanctioned countries – Myanmar, Sudan, Syria and Cuba.
DFS found that senior compliance managers also failed to take any steps to block or better identify payment instructions from customers originating from Iran through a bank fax system at the branch in the UAE in Dubai.
The Department's investigation further revealed that the bank's compliance infrastructure in the UAE region was woefully inadequate. Compliance staff were poorly trained and unconcerned with U.S. sanctions regulations.
DFS discovered some of the bank's sanctions violations during the Department's separate investigation of another bank. Between 2008 and 2012, Standard Chartered processed more than $150 million in incoming and outgoing dollar transactions for an Iranian petrochemical company, which was masked as being operated from Dubai. In another case, a bank manager in Dubai improperly took money from a sanctioned Iranian corporate entity to buy a personal car. Later, after the entity's account was closed because of its sanctioned risk, the manager helped open another account for the entity under a different corporate name.
Another manager in Standard Chartered was found to have advised an Iranian front company located in Dubai how to evade detection by changing its corporate name and then opening a new account.
Under the terms of the consent order, Standard Chartered is paying DFS a $180 million fine and the bank is continuing to engage an independent consultant to oversee remediation at the bank. Additionally, DFS is requiring Standard Chartered to submit to DFS written plans to improve and enhance the bank's OFAC and New York laws and regulation compliance including an annual assessment of OFAC compliance risks, the establishment of an OFAC compliance reporting system, employee training on OFAC-related issues, and an audit program designed to test for compliance with OFAC Regulations. Standard Chartered must also submit a Sanctions Corporate Oversight Plan for a sustainable governance framework that includes actions the bank's board will take to maintain effective control over compliance with both OFAC laws and regulations and related New York laws and regulations.
DFS recognizes Standard Chartered's cooperation with DFS's investigation, as well as the bank's efforts since 2014 to install new senior leadership on its Board of Directors and in senior management to foster an improved culture of compliance and enhancements to its compliance function.

Measles is a disease caused by a virus and is also known as "red measles" or "rubeola". Symptoms of measles include fever, coughing, runny nose and a rash. Measles is a highly infectious disease and can be easily prevented by a vaccine. For more information, see the health unit's fact sheet on measles and measles vaccine.
The following graphs show the number of measles cases in Simcoe Muskoka between 1991 and 2017, and 2000 and 2017, respectively. Since 2000, there have been between zero and two reported cases of measles in Simcoe Muskoka every year. In 2017, zero cases of measles were reported in Simcoe Muskoka.
In the five years before the introduction of the two-dose vaccine, there were nearly 600 cases of measles in Simcoe Muskoka (from 1991 to 1996). The two-dose measles vaccine was introduced in 1996/1997 which lead to a significant decrease in the number of measles cases reported in Simcoe Muskoka and across Ontario. Since 1996, there have been a total of six cases reported in Simcoe Muskoka in the 19 year time span.
For more information on measles, please see Public Health Ontario's Measles Infographic.
The following graph shows the incidence rate of measles in Simcoe Muskoka and Ontario between 2000 and 2017. In 2017, the incidence rate for measles in Simcoe Muskoka was 0.0 cases per 100,000 population and the Ontario rate was 0.1 cases per 100,000 population.
Provincial definitions classify cases as confirmed, probable or suspect based on clinical and/or laboratory diagnostic criteria. The provincial case definition for measles changed in April 2009 to include a definition for probable cases whereas before there was no such classification. The definitions of confirmed and probable cases from 2009 onwards are comparable to confirmed cases before 2009.

Q: Return string object as XML object using Spring 4 in Java Good morning
I'm using Spring 4 with only annotations(NO XML configuration). I know using Spring 3, we can use
@RequestMapping(value="/cui",
        method=RequestMethod.GET,
        produces={"application/xml")

Now my method signature is
@GetMapping("/cui")
public String cui() {
  String responseXML = // This is my final result object which is XML.

}

How and where should I mention that I will return a XML object, but not String object in the controller?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

A: @GetMapping(value="/cui",produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE)
public String cui() {
  String responseXML = // This is my final result object which is XML.
   return responseXML;
}

At NAB this year, Blackmagic announced that they were developing a free version of their world-class DaVinci Resolve color correction software. With today's release of DaVinci Resolve Lite, they've made good on their promise.Resolve Lite uses the same technology and interface as the commercial version, with a few minor restrictions.
The restrictions–on video resolution, project complexity, physical control surfaces, and processing power–don't significantly interfere with the tasks or workflows that are essential to coloring, so Resolve Lite is a perfect product for learning and for smallish independent productions.
Now that the Resolve line is a real, practical possibility for even hobbyists and non-professional colorists, look forward to some GeniusDV tutorials to help you learn it!
The other day, one of our editors noticed that his FCP7 workstation was putting Autosave files in the Trash. It turns out that he had dragged his Autosave Vault folder out of his Documents folder to the Trash while Final Cut Pro 7 was still running–and FCP kept saving Autosaves to the old folder, even though it was now in the Trash.
This time, we were able to find his Autosaves and get his project back on track, but we felt awfully lucky that he hadn't emptied the Trash (and with it his fresh Autosaves).
To make sure your FCP7 paths are consistent, then, it's a good idea to close FCP before moving files directly in the Finder. If you forget, just close FCP and reopen it to force FCP to pay attention to the actual paths you have set up in System Settings.
Send To Motion–As soon as Motion 5 is installed, FCP7's Send To Motion feature breaks, and with it the easy roundtripping that makes the FCP/Motion/FCP workflow so appealing. FCP7 "Sends To" Motion 5, but it can't interpret Motion 5 project files. To fix this problem (and make FCP7 "Send To" Motion 4), just move Motion 5 to any location outside of your Applications folder–for example, your Desktop. You can always move Motion 5 back into your Applications folder after you're done working from FCP7.
Boris/Boris Title 3D–When you install FCPX, the App Store automatically moves your old Final Cut Studio software into a folder called Final Cut Studio. This breaks some third-party plugins like Boris Title 3D. To fix the problem, you can move Final Cut Pro (7) out of the Final Cut Studio folder into the main Applications folder.
3-Way Color Corrector–We've heard a few reports that FCPX breaks some features of FCP7's 3-Way Color Corrector, especially the "Limit Effect" eyedropper. We don't have a solution just yet, but we're working on it!
So you're curious about Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5, but you (smartly) want to keep your production facility on the old Final Cut Studio until Apple can work out the kinks. Either now or later, you'll probably want to run FCPX/Motion 5 and the old Final Cut Studio in parallel on the same machine.
The solution is simple: just create a subfolder in your Applications folder, and drag the new Motion into that subfolder. In the screenshots below, we've named the subfolder "Motion 5," but any name will do.
Once you've tucked the new Motion into a subfolder, Final Cut Pro 7 should launch just fine!
In case you've missed it, check out this excellent product review on the Adobe Production Suite from Creative cow.
This is exactly why I converted to the Adobe suite. I have been editing in Premiere since March and I must say it is amazing. It's integration with Photoshop, Encore and of course After Effects is seamless and will save me days of my life exporting and importing. If I am in a pinch, I can edit right from my Sony EX-1 card with zero time ingesting any media for instant client review and feedback. This has not only saved time but we now have the ability to reshoot right on the spot if needed. So, not only is it quicker to start the editing process, the quality of your material in unmatched. I have taken all of my FCP sequences, saved them as XML and they have all opened flawlessly in Premiere, every edit, every dissolve and every effect!
To have the ability to open my sequence right in AE, sweeten the content and just click save......done....priceless. This is also true with Encore and Photoshop, everything not only integrates but adds continuity from start to finish.
One other massive advantage, you can export your sequences to any format or multiple formats in the background while you......yes....continue to edit!
This list goes on and on but the only choice for my daily work is the Adobe Creative suite. It not only saves me time but gives me more time to be more creative and turn out better products for my clients.
GeniusDV is in development of a new Adobe CS class that will incorporate the Adobe post production applications in an integrated workflow. Similar to GeniusDv's popular Final Cut Studio class, the Adobe class will take real world workflows of the various applications, and combine them into one overall Adobe workflow.

SMC's Law Pathway Sees Number of Graduates More than Triple in Three Years
By Lookout Staff
May 16, 2019 -- Nearly three dozen Santa Monica College (SMC) students graduated from the school's Law Pathway Program, more than triple the number that graduated in the program's first year.
Graduates of the three-year-old program, which prepares traditionally under-represented students to become competitive applicants to law school, held an informal ceremony on Tuesday to celebrate their success.
(Left to Right) Business Professor Dana Nasser, Daniela Kelly, Director of Academic Affairs Initiatives Edna Chavarry, Camilo Ciau, Xochitl Perreria, Allyson Paige Marquez, UCLA student & SMC Law Pathway graduate/guest speaker Karen Funk, Liliana Hernandez, keynote speaker Daniel Kolko, SMC Superintendent/President Kathryn E. Jeffery, Xochitl Buenabad, Ethan Cruz, Aileen Rodriguez, Jasmine Marcial, Zahra Fatemi, Political Science Professor Christina Gabler, and Career Services Advisor Joan Kang.
The number of graduates has been growing rapidly -- from 10 students in 2017, to 16 students in 2018 to 34 this year.
"We are actively working to grow a program that is a robust pathway for traditionally underserved students towards a career in law," said Edna Chavarry, director of Academic Affairs Initiatives at SMC.
The 34 graduates this year are transferring to universities that include UCLA, Columbia University, UC Irvine and California State University, Los Angeles.
By completing the program, the students earn priority admission review at the schools of law at Santa Clara University, UCLA, UC Davis, University of San Francisco, Loyola, USC, UC Irvine and UC Berkeley.
The "rigorous" pre-law program at SMC requires completion of nine courses and offers mentoring, exposure to careers in law, networking opportunities, tailored counseling and leadership training, school officials said.
It also includes "an experiential learning component" at participating legal organizations including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Bet Tzedek and Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County.
"The backbone of the Law Pathway Program is the incredible staff at SMC, our advisory council, and California Law, Inc., "whose mission is to establish a pipeline of diverse students into law so that the legal profession reflects the diversity of California," said Chavarry.
The keynote speaker at Tuesday's ceremony was Daniel Kolko, J.D. candidate at the UC Irvine School of Law and an SMC and UCLA alumnus.
"At Santa Monica College, you get to define what your future will look like," Kolko said. "You're given a platform from which you can take off as far as you aspire to.
"This is a school that truly cares about ensuring that the student body has this opportunity."
SMC formed the Law Pathway Program after joining the California Law Community College Pathway to Law School Initiative in 2015, school officials said.
The initiative is "a collaborative effort between California Law Inc., The State Bar of California's Council on Access & Fairness and 29 community colleges and 8 law schools, officials said.
For more information, visit the program's website at smc.edu/LawPathway or contact Chavarry_Edna@smc.edu.

Georgia Travel Adaptor Plug Kit allows you to adapt your United States appliance plug into Georgia wall outlets.
Deluxe Adapter Kit: Includes three adapters and ships Priority Mail with tracking.
Georgia is located in Southwestern Asia bordering Turkey and Russia, Georgia uses the same type of adapter plugs as Russia.
Adapter plugs allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter) unless your appliance is dual voltage. A non-grounded adapter may NOT be used with appliances that have grounded plugs; for these you will need a grounded adapter. If your hair dryer, curling iron, electric razor is not dual voltage you will most likely need a converter to use your electric. Check to make sure your electrics are dual voltage before leaving on your trip. For more information see Going In Style's Adapter and Converter Finder.
Georgia operates on 220 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.
Georgia is located in Southwestern Asia, bordering the Black Sea, between Turkey and Russia, with a sliver of land north of the Caucasus extending into Europe; note - Georgia views itself as part of Europe. Its area is slightly smaller than South Carolina. Georgia's climate is warm and pleasant; Mediterranean-like on Black Sea coast. The mainland terrain is largely mountainous with Great Caucasus Mountains in the north and Lesser Caucasus Mountains in the south; Kolkhet'is Dablobi (Kolkhida Lowland) opens to the Black Sea in the west; Mtkvari River Basin in the east; good soils in river valley flood plains, foothills of Kolkhida Lowland.
The currency used is the Lari (GEL). Major credit cards are accepted in major establishments, but not many places accept credit card so it is best to carry some cash. Foreign currency and travelers cheques can be exchanged at banks and money exchange offices.
Georgia has a fixed-line telecommunications network with only limited coverage outside Tbilisi; long list of people waiting for fixed line connections; multiple mobile-cellular providers provide services to an increasing subscribership throughout the country. Cellular telephone networks cover the entire country; mobile-cellular teledensity is roughly 70 per 100 people; urban fixed-line teledensity is about 20 per 100 people and rural teledensity is about 4 per 100 people; intercity facilities include a fiber-optic line between T'bilisi and K'ut'aisi; nationwide pager service is available. When traveling to Georgia you will need to have an unlocked or international cell phone with a Bahrain SIM card to make mobile calls. You will need an adapter to charge your cell phone. Most cell phone battery rechargers should be multi-voltage, therefore will not require a converter. If the charger says 100-240 volts, 50-60 cycles then your charger in multi-voltage.

Food Sovereignty Prize to Be Awarded in NYC on October 15
By The Editors| October 10, 2013
Next Wednesday, October 16, the World Food Prize will be awarded to Monsanto and Syngenta. Next Tuesday, October 15, the Food Sovereignty Prize will celebrate an entirely different vision of the future of food and agriculture.
Next Wednesday, October 16, in a ceremony in Des Moines, Iowa, the World Food Prize will be awarded to scientists from Monsanto and Syngenta, despite little evidence to back up claims that biotechnology feeds the world (there was even a humorous speculation that the Prize announcement was from "The Onion").
Next Tuesday, October 15, in a ceremony in lower Manhattan, the Food Sovereignty Prize will celebrate an entirely different vision of the future of food and agriculture – one that relies on sustainable practices and local control rather than chemicals and corporate profits. Michael Pollan has called the Food Sovereignty Prize, "an important alternative to the World Food Prize. Its recognition of people working to promote genuine and sustainable food security, rather than simple food production, is needed and welcome."
The 2013 Food Sovereignty Prize top honors are going to an innovative partnership between Haiti's Group of Four (G4) peasant organizations and Brazilian peasant agronomists known as the Dessalines Brigade, named for Haitian revolutionary leader Jean-Jacques Dessalines. The peasant-to-peasant collaboration between G4 and the Dessalines Brigade has been critical in rebuilding the Haitian countryside after the 2010 earthquake, through agroecology, seed saving, and cooperative farming. The G4 made international headlines following the earthquake when it rejected a donation of Monsanto seeds as an attack on farmers, biodiversity, and Haiti's food sovereignty.
Honorable mentions for the 2013 Food Sovereignty Prize go to the Tamil Nadu Women's Collective of India, National Coordination of Peasant Organizations of Mali and Basque Country Farmers Union in Europe for their roles in the struggle for a more democratic food system. Raj Patel, author of "Stuffed and Starved," says, "The Food Sovereignty Prize recognizes that feeding the world isn't a matter of a technical quick fix. …The honorees of the [2013] Prize… have organized to create a better, more abundant and more equitable food system. They light the way to a future in which we have not only conquered hunger, but have rediscovered democracy."
At the ceremony, honorees will be joined by Shirley Sherrod, a longtime farm advocate and civil rights activist from Georgia who was targeted in 2010 by conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart and wrongly forced from her position in the USDA, bringing issues of discrimination in agriculture to public light. Singer-songwriter activists Jen Chapin and Martha Redbone will provide musical entertainment. The ceremony is hosted by the US Food Sovereignty Alliance and WhyHunger.
The 2013 Food Sovereignty Prize Ceremony will be held on Tuesday, October 15 at 7 p.m., at the Great Hall at Cooper Union. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. If you can't attend, you can watch via livestream (here during the ceremony) and join the conversation on twitter at #FoodSovPrize. For more information and to register, visit the FSP website.

Don't Hold Your Knife Upside Down, and Other Kitchen Wisdom From Chez Panisse's Cal Peternell


We're always looking for ways to improve our lives. I found 6 you should do right now (from the Livestrong article "20 Ways to Instantly Improve Your Life").
-How do I generally feel?
-Do I feel any pain?
-Do I feel stressed? If so, how can I minimize it?
-Am I placing too much pressure on myself?
-Am I making myself a priority?
Take your answers to these questions and reshape your next moment.
Personal Trainer Wisdom: Besides the fact that sugar is one of the leading causes of weight gain and diabetes, they are empty calories that are taking the place of real nutrition. Nothing else needs to be said here. Save your sweet tooth for a fruit substitute if necessary.
Personal Trainer Wisdom: Translation: Live with intent! Well, I may have overextended the intent of that last paragraph to a bigger life philosophy. Nevertheless, it should be a mantra that guides every activity. If you're going to do it, do it well, effectively, and efficiently. Regarding fitness, intent couldn't be more important. Carve out a plan for a session and make the most of every minute.
"My best advice is to take responsibility for what goes in your mouth: Document and log your nutrition and your calorie intake using the well-thought-out food tracker on LIVESTRONG. The scale is a very helpful tool. Weigh yourself every day first thing in the morning after taking care of business (relieving yourself)," says LIVESTRONG.COM Community member EJMM2, recommending that people document and analyze their weekly averages of losses and gains or pounds maintained. "With the right mindset, focus and dedication, anything is possible," says EJMM2.
Personal Trainer Wisdom: Whether you're saving money or pursuing a weight loss goal, accountability is most important. Don't take a guess at what is or is not working. Be honest with yourself and track your results. Take control and adapt when necessary (but be certain it isn't a guess…make the change based on your findings).
Personal Trainer Wisdom: I always write 30 minute workout programs for myself as well as my personal training clients. It makes the workout more approachable with less of a time commitment. This principle applies to most events or activities you schedule. Let's be honest: You're most likely to talk yourself out of something the longer it takes. Shorten the time, move with intent (efficiently and effectively) in that allotted period.
Personal Trainer Wisdom: I challenge you to count the number of times you say or think something negative (complaints count) in the next five hours. I'm willing to bet that your negative thoughts outweigh the positive. It's time to train your mind to be positive. Make it a habit. Otherwise, you'll continue to lose to the negative banter in the various forms of media, coworkers in your office, and the television show "Housewives of Orange County" (I know you watch it ).

Pat Thomas Book Tour
March 8, 2018 / leaton01
Author Pat Thomas Book Tour Continues in Support of
Did It! Jerry Rubin: An American Revolutionary Heading to East Coast and Midwest This Month and Next
Book tour including stops in New York City with Paul Krassner (editor of The Realist) and Chicago with Bill Ayers (controversial leader of the Weather Underground) & Nancy Kurshan(co-founder of the Yippies).
LOS ANGELES, CA (WEDNESDAY MARCH 7, 2018) 2018 is the 50th Anniversary of the 1968 political riots (led by Jerry Rubin & the Yippies) at the Chicago Democratic Convention. That same week in August saw the release of the Beatles single "Revolution" and the Rolling Stones '45 "Street Fighting Man" – the perfect protest soundtrack.
In Pat Thomas' new oral and visual history of Jerry Rubin and the Yippies Did It! Jerry Rubin: An American Revolutionary published by Fantagraphics Books – he interviews 75 radicals and activists, including dozens of women telling their stories for the first time ever. Along the way, from the personal journals of Rubin are interactions with Bob Dylan, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Allen Ginsberg, Norman Mailer, Tim Leary, Phil Ochs, Eldridge Cleaver and of course his comrade Abbie Hoffman. Their relationship was much more complex than previous books have examined.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the '68 political riots and the publication of Did It, Pat Thomas and guests have secured multiple live book events that will feature vintage recordings of Rubin speaking during his 1968-1972 prime. Come and see why in 2018's political climate, this is all still relevant.
"America hasn't lost its way, just its sense of humor and the sound of Jerry Rubin's laughter, as captured in Pat Thomas' excellent book. Thomas's writing combines a true fan's enthusiasm and curiosity with an aficionado's deep knowledge of music, politics and pop culture, not to mention the kind of intellectual's wiseass skepticism that would have made Lester Bangs a kindred spirit."

"In Did It!'s outstanding chapter on Yippie Nancy Kurshan, Pat Thomas gives an insider's view of a life committed to the movement, as if he were there, with an uncanny understanding of a woman's subordinate position during the '60s revolution in which feminism emerged as one of the defining issues of the decade; he also gives us a timeline of what happened when, and how it all fit together, whether it was Jerry and Abbie strategizing with John & Yoko or trying to get Dylan involved in a tour for the cause; read this if you want to know what it was like to be there, then put Thomas' unusual document in an honored position in your library next to David Harris' Dreams Die Hard and The Murder of Fred Hampton."
