Saturday Combined Men's Results
Well, we made it. After four sessions at nine locations, a U.S. Open like none before wrapped up earlier today. With a lot of the big domestic stars either competing in the ISL (Caeleb Dressel, Lilly King, etc.) or not racing at all (Nathan Adrian, Katie Ledecky, Simone Manuel), there weren't a ton of especially fast times at the top end, but once again, we saw some big swims out of teenagers, as well as a few interesting results from others.
For the second day in a row, arguably the biggest swims came from a pair of teenagers. In Richmond, 13 year-old Thomas Heilman broke the 13-14 National Age Group record in the 100 free. Heilman was close to OT cuts in all three events he swam this week.
Also in Richmond, 17 year-old Torri Huske went 54.04 to swim the fastest 100 free across all sites. That time moves her to #4 all-time in the 17-18 age group. Teens took four of the top five spots in the 100 free, with Gretchen Walsh (54.37) and Claire Curzan (54.93) finishing 2nd and 3rd overall, and Kate Douglass (55.24) taking 5th overall.
Over in Irvine, 12 year-old Kayla Han moved into the top ten all time in the 11-12 age group rankings in the 200 fly with her time of 2:20.58.
On the "older" side of things, 29 year-old Austin Surhoff netted an OT cut, and swam a lifetime best, in the 100 free with his 50.19, again in Richmond, taking 12th overall. Surhoff's previous best time was a 50.40 from 2013. Surhoff, currently an assistant coach at Johns Hopkins, won the 200 IM at NCAAs as a freshman and made the final in the 200 IM at the 2016 Olympic Trials.
National Team Roundup
We're not going to cover every swim by a US National Team member here, but we'll mention the ones who finished near the top of the combined standings, or had otherwise notable swims.
National teamers Erica Sullivan (16:04.37), Ashley Twichell (16:18.11), and Ally McHugh (16:30.40) took the top 3 spots in the women's' 1500 free.
It was a similar story in the 200 back, where Phoebe Bacon (2:09.16), Katharine Berkoff (2:10.12), Kathleen Baker (2:11.38), Regan Smith (2:11.74) took the top 4 spots, and Alex Walsh (2:13.18) finished 6th overall.
Veteran Mallory Comerford placed 5th overall in the 100 free with a 55.24.
Madisyn Cox (2:27.55) and Micah Sumrall (2:30.03) placed 1st and 5th in the 200 breast.
Regan Smith may own the world record in the 200 back, but she's a very strong butterflier as well, winning with a 2:08.61 today. Charlotte Hook (2:10.90) took 3rd and Torri Huske (2:14.03) took 7th.
On the men's side, Bobby Finke (15:09.14) took 1st in the 1650, Jordan Wilimovsky (15:30.38) was 4th, and Michael Brinegar was at 6th 15:34.62.
US Open record holder Ryan Held (49.00) took 2nd in the 100 free, and Kieran Smith (49.93) placed 8th.
Clark Beach took 2nd overall in the 200 back with a 2:00.21.
Veterans Andrew Wilson (2:09.83) and Cody Miller (2:10.22) took the top two spots in the 200 breast just as they did in the 100 breast yesterday.
Zach Harting returned from competing in the ISL to take first in the 200 fly with a 1:57.82, while Carson Foster, not primarily known as a butterflier, took 7th in 1:59.26. (Harting emphasized in a recent Instagram post that he followed all proper travel, quarantine, and testing procedures from his travel to Europe to racing in Indy).
And while he didn't finish near of the top of the results, we'll note here than Ryan Lochte, the former world record holder in the 200 back, finished 24th overall in that event with a time of 2:03.83.

My two older brothers already played the trombone and horn. I really wanted to study with the same brass teacher and be in the same instrument family as my brothers so the trumpet was an easy choice. I started on a Yamaha cornet, an instrument I still perform on today for cornet solos. Our teacher took us to many concerts around the Chicagoland area including many brass concerts and the Chicago Symphony.
Did you have any particular early musical influences or heroes?
My favourite trumpeter as a kid (and now) was Sergei Nakariakov. From 2010-2011, I took a handful of lessons from Håkan Hardenberger and I carry these lessons with me everyday.
I feel very grateful for my trumpet teachers along the way. David Bilger at The Curtis Institute of Music and Allan Dean at Yale instilled a beauty of sound and musicality in my playing. In my late 20's, Jens Lindemann was the first person to encourage me to pursue a solo career, form my own ensembles, and think outside the box. This turned out to be the best decision for my career path. Now my life has a full balance of solo recitals and concerti, collaborations with many artists, Seraph Brass, Chrysalis Chamber Players, Dash Duo, orchestral work, giving lectures and masterclasses, and teaching.
The release of my debut album, "Radiance," through Summit Records which won a Gold Medal Global Music Award. Performing Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 with the Chameleon Arts Ensemble in Boston, performing as a soloist at the Velika Gorica Brass Festival in Croatia, and the concerti I have performed with various orchestras. I also am Principal Trumpet of the Artosphere Festival and I frequently perform as as guest with the Marlboro Music Festival.
I am also very proud of my brass group, Seraph Brass. I founded the group in 2014, and since then we have performed all over the U.S., Finland, and Mexico. We also released our debut album this year through Summit Records, winning a Silver Medal Global Music Award. We will return to the Lieksa Brass Week in Finland this summer as a sextet.
I am also co-founder of the non-profit ensemble, Chrysalis Chamber Players, in Naples, Florida, and we perform a variety of works with flexible instrumentation.
I also tour with my husband, trumpeter David Dash, as the Dash Duo. We both teach at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts; Dave is the Assistant Professor of Trumpet, and I am a Resident Artist.
I love creating new projects and being the leader of ensembles. I am always looking for new collaborations, commissions, and opportunities.
As a top performer, are there any particular routines that you follow to keep yourself in good shape for performance? How do keep on top of your trumpet playing, particularly while you are travelling?
It's really important for me to keep my basics in check especially while on tour when there are lots of performances. I focus on Clarkes, and I vary the articulation, slurring and multiple tonguing in all ranges. I also love starting the day with lip bends in the middle register and mouthpiece buzzing.
Recently I've discovered a new app called RØDE rec, and I will run a piece and listen back to myself at half tempo. This is a very efficient way to fine tune details.
If I am doing a lot of heavy playing, I find it very helpful to ice my face, and alternate with heat. I usually use a cup of tea for this. Turmeric and sleep are amazing for me too.
Do you find that your practise preparations change a lot as you shift between solo, chamber and orchestral playing? Or indeed the changes of repertoire within each area?
The basics always stay the same. I always keep piccolo in my practice every day, no matter what I have coming up. If I am balanced with all of the horns, my playing is more flexible. I think my practice goals shift depending on repertoire. If I have to play lead in orchestra on a heavy piece, I add in sessions of producing a lot more volume, but while the performances are happening, I practice the opposite of that (soft playing). If I have a Brandenburg 2 performance coming up, my piccolo sessions are longer. I need to be able to have the endurance to play Brandenburg twice in one day if I need to, so being able to play it 3 times is ideal for me. I balance this out with low soft exercises on the b-flat trumpet.
When learning a new piece, I spend a lot of time at slow tempi and this has been very beneficial in learning a piece quickly.
I am very excited about my next album, trumpet/strings/harp, which will be released in 2019 through Summit Records with new arrangements by Rick DeJonge and original works by James Stephenson and others. I am recording with the Kassia Ensemble, and we will begin performing together as well.
This summer I will be a guest soloist at the Maspalomas International Trumpet Festival in Gran Canaria and at the Tidewater Brass Festival.

Repair Large Crack and Missing Edge on Right Top Panel.
After removing the panels–you can read about how I did that here: 46 BMW 1977 R100RS Remove, Disassemble Bodywork–I need to fix all the cracks before I take everything to the painter.
After I made the repairs as shown, my painter found the repairs did not hold up as he sanded the panels. He added fiber glass mat reinforcements across the repaired cracks. Therefore, I recommend you do the same when you repair large cracks.
The worst panel is the headlight panel which is the top middle panel that surrounds the headlight. It's so badly damaged with many small hairline cracks I decided to pickup a used panel.
I've had good success fixing cracks using Plast-aid which is made here in Colorado in Estes Park.
It is a polymer plastic that bonds to many plastics, but not to PET or other "oily" plastics. It creates a chemical bond between itself and the original plastic material that is as strong as the original material. When the two parts (liquid and powder) are mixed, the consistency starts out as a runny liquid. As the chemical reaction proceeds, the material thickens slowly into a paste and then a putty like consistency which I can mold with my fingers. This property of changing consistency allowing shaping and molding before it hardens is very helpful when fixing rounded or curved areas as I have on the edges of the fairing panels.
I've written about various repairs I've made using Plast-aid in the following write-ups and blogs.
By the way, for all these repairs, including the ones I made to these R100RS body and side panels, I've used about 1/2 of the material in a single package.
You can see there is missing plastic and a large separation of the rounded edge on this panel along with a web of cracks radiating from the edge.
I use a Dremel tool with a tapered stone bit to make a v-notch along all the cracks and past the end of the cracks to provide stress relief.
I mix up some Plast-aid with enough liquid to make it soupy. I put a little of the liquid into the v-notch to improve adhesion with the panel. I use a toothpick to fill the v-notch with the soupy Plast-aid. When it hardens in about 10 minutes, I mix up another batch and work on the large crack at the edge. I use tape and a clamp to close the gap while the Plast-aid sets up. I make a third batch but let it harden to the point its about the consistency of peanut butter. I apply it to the edge and as it hardens and I shape it to match the rounded profile of the edge. Its very easy to shape Plast-aid as it gets thicker which I can't do with fiber glass resin or plastic epoxy. It makes it very easy to make a repair to contoured or rounded parts of a panel.
Even though Plast-aid hardens in 10-15 minutes, I let the part sit overnight before I sand the panel to smooth out any high spots in the Plast-aid. Here is the repaired panel. The painter will apply putty over this area to make it perfectly smooth.
The lower panels attach to the frame at the bottom with a metal strap that attaches to the front engine mount as shown here. The strap is just above the clutch cable as it passes next to the nut on the engine mount stud.
The other end of the strap connects to the panel with an M6x1.0 bolt. The right lower panel boss that holds the threaded insert is broken and the insert is gone. The panel was attached using a sheet metal screw into the remains of the plastic boss.
Here is how the original boss and metal insert look on the left panel which is not damaged.
I bought a package of M6x1.0 brass threaded inserts from MSC. They require a 5/16″ hole to be drilled into the boss and the insert is tapped into the hole. The serrated end goes into the hole. It has a split so it will compress as it is driven into the hole. When the bolt is screwed into the insert, it expands the serrations into the plastic to keep the insert from spinning.
I let the part dry over night before I drill the hole for the brass insert. I use some tape on a small drill bit to set the depth so it is a bit deeper than the insert and then I drill a pilot hole in the center of repaired boss.
I drill the final hole the size specified for the insert using the tape on the drill bit to maintain the proper depth.
Here are pictures of the other cracks and repairs I made with Plast-aid. I use the same process of cutting out the crack into a v-notch with a Dremel tool and then filling the crack with Plast-aid when it's soupy. After a day, I sand out the high spots of the Plast-aid. There are some small voids you can see in the pictures but these will get filled by the painter with putty when he prepares the panels for painting. I tested the repairs by bending the panels a bit and did not hear any cracking sounds, so I believe these repairs are as strong as the original material.
The side covers had a number of cracks. The left side cover near the hand hold has a rounded cutout and part of it was missing. I formed the Plast-aid with my fingers to match the curvature.
2017-05-25 Added post script about using fiber glass mat to reinforce repairs.

Akio Morita (盛田昭夫) (26 de gener de 1921 - 3 d'octubre de 1999), fou un físic i empresari japonès, cofundador de Sony.

Biografia
Va néixer a Nagoya, en el si d'una família que posseïa una fàbrica de sake. Va ser un estudiant brillant, amant de la cultura occidental en general i de la música clàssica en particular.

Des de nen va tenir fascinació pels artefactes electrònics i prestava especial atenció al funcionament dels fonògrafs. Es graduà a la Universitat Imperial d'Osaka el 1944. Es va allistar en l'exèrcit de l'Imperi Japonès durant la Segona Guerra Mundial i allí va conèixer Masaru Ibuka amb qui es va retrobar després del final del conflicte unint-se a ell en la nova empresa que intentava organitzar, la mateixa que anys després passaria a dir-se Sony.

Junts van desenvolupar productes tan cèlebres com lal primera ràdio de transistors comercial, els televisors Trinitron, les videograbadores casolanes (Betamax) o el Walkman. En 1986 publica la seva autobiografia titulada Made in Japan.

Va ser condecorat amb la Medalla Albert, atorgada per la Societat Real d'Arts del Regne Unit, el primer japonès a rebre aquest honor. Dos anys més tard va rebre la Órden Nacional de la Legió d'Honor, i en 1991 va ser nomenat membre de la Órden del Tresor Sagrat, per l'Emperador del Japó. El 1996 li fou atorgada la Creu de Sant Jordi per la Generalitat de Catalunya. Morita va morir a causa d'una pneumònia als 78 anys.

When both parents, accompanied by their attorneys, meet with a neutral third party (mediator) to discuss issues related to child custody. The mediator's suggestions are not binding on either parent, instead they serve as recommendations which are in the best interest of the children. Although child custody mediation is normally voluntary, in some states, parents must complete a mandatory mediation process before a judge will issue any court orders.


I hope you have enjoyed the colour combos over the last 20 weeks. Just letting you know that I am taking a little break with The Colour Tree and will be back in a couple of weeks with some Christmas Colour Inspiration and a slightly different format. Thanks so much for stopping by!
I'm a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator who sees the world through the gorgeous SU Colour Palette, who loves to browse through Pinterest and be inspired by pretty pictures and inspire others to create beautiful paper craft projects with the wonderful SU range of colour coordinated products. I hope you will find these posts a useful reference when searching for a great colour combo. Feel free to save the graphic to include in your blog post and make sure you come back to link up your project on the 7th November.
Every Sunday night (AEST) I post a new Pinterest inspired colour combo called The Colour Tree; then on the 7th of every month I host a Link Up (Under the Colour Tree) to feature a round up of the previous month's inspiration. It's not a 'challenge' but a place to share your projects in the gallery.
Have fun creating. Enjoy your week.
Hi there and welcome to addINKtive designs. Today I have a Planter Box Card to share with you. After a bit of a craft 'slump' three challenges finally got me motivated and back into my craft room ... so a big thank you to all the DT members for their inspiration.
This card is similar to the one that I made for mum for Mother's Day but I changed the measurements slightly so it's a little shorter and have included a mini tutorial at the end of this post if you would like to make one too.
The colour challenge at the Global Design Project is just perfect for spring and I really, really love the combo! I have included some Kraft Card Stock as a neutral for the construction of the planter box.
I'm excited to finally join in with a challenge at Stamp Ink Paper where the theme is FLORAL!
1. Cut two pieces of Kraft Card Stock, 2-1/2" x 6" (Score at 3") and four pieces, 3-1/2" x 1" (Score at 1/2" on the short side) and stamp the Harwood Stamp onto each piece with Crumb Cake Ink.
2. Attach the legs to each corner of the base with Fast Fuse Adhesive.
3. Cut three card inserts measuring 2"x 4" and score 1/2" from each end of the longer sides to make the flaps that secure to the inside sides of the planter box.
4. Attach the punched flowers, leaves and other embellishments to the inserts with foam dots (Stampin' Dimensionals) and Multi-purpose Liquid Glue.
5. The card will fold flat to fit inside a custom made envelope. However, I've decided not to give this one away and use it to brighten up the desk in my office instead.
Hi there and welcome to the October Link Up for Under the Colour Tree. I post a Pinterest inspired colour swatch called, The Colour Tree every Sunday night (AEST).

Post a photo of it to your blog or on-line gallery and then use the linky tool below to share your project here. Make sure you just link your post not your whole blog.
Mention, Under the Colour Tree in your post, display the colour graphic and link back here so others can join in too.
Your project can be something you made back in September or you can create something new for the October Link Up.
Link Up closes on 7th November at 6pm (AEST).
Welcome to the Happy Scenes Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop. We are a group of international Stampin' Up! demonstrators that love to share just how much you can do with one stamp set.
As I was preparing for this hop I was really lacking mojo and feeling a tad 'rusty'. Nothing seemed to go right creating projects for this round (won't bore you with the details). However, because I absolutely LOVE participating in The SRC Blog Hops and had to pull out of the last one due to the busyness of life, I was determined to ink up Happy Scenes and give it a go. I finally ended up with two cards to share with you today.
Have you ever stamped on a photo? I love how it creates an instant background. A few years ago I stamped quite a few sunrise/sunset photos with silhouette stamps and loved how they turned out.
The tree images were stamped with Early Espresso Ink onto the bottom right hand corner of the photo and the image was cropped to fit behind the die cut window. The embossed bricks were sponged with Tip Top Taupe and Perfect Plum Ink.
A centre step card was used as the base of my second card and I punched out a circle in the middle panel so the battery operated tealight could shine through. The embossed bricks were sponged with Tip Top Taupe and Soft Sky Ink. The vellum DSP is from the new Holiday Catalogue.
I hope you're enjoying the SRC Blog Hop!

When you chose to install your composite deck, you were probably excited about how little upkeep it required. Don't worry, nothing has changed. Composite decks still remain one of the best low maintenance decking options. However, some basic care is needed to keep things looking their best. Check out our simple tips to develop your deck cleaning routine.
Just as you sweep before you mop your floors, you'll need to remove excess dirt from your composite deck before doing a more thorough cleaning. Use a broom or leaf blower to get rid of dirt, sticks and other debris. Be sure to pick up any bits of trash as well. This task should be performed weekly to avoid buildup and serious stains.
A mild soap and some water are all you need to remove most stains. Use a soft scrub brush to concentrate on stained areas. Once you've removed them, follow up with a pressure hose to remove any hidden debris and leftover soap.
You may find that tannin spots develop on your composite deck over time. Products with oxalic acid are the best option when removing these stains. Look for ones labeled as deck brighteners and check the ingredient list. These products are also useful for fighting rust stains. To avoid more stains, be sure to keep your deck as dry as possible and allow water to drain easily.
As much as we hate to tell you, eventually someone is going to drop a greasy hamburger or big cup of soda on your deck. Don't be afraid, composite decks are easy to clean as long as you do it quickly.
Remove the food or liquid as soon as you can. Treat the area like you would with a basic cleaning. Mix up a bucket of soapy, warm water and remove the stain with a soft bristle brush. To prevention future stains, consider applying a degreaser regularly to the deck's surface.
Don't forget about your composite deck during the winter season. It still needs a little love and care, otherwise, it may take revenge on you in the warmer months with mildew and water stains.
Start by removing the snow with a shovel. Take care not to scratch the surface of the deck during the removal process. Next, use calcium chloride to melt down the leftover ice and snow.
No matter how careful you are with your composite deck, scratches and nicks are likely to occur. Minor ones can be removed with a wire brush. Simply move the brush in the direction of the grain. Use light strokes to avoid further damage.
For deeper marks and scratches, you may need to use a soldering iron. Heating up the area and blending the scratch gently will make it less noticeable.
These maintenance techniques will make it easier to keep your Michigan or Ohio composite deck looking as beautiful as the day you bought it.

The Islamic State (Isis) has released the latest issue of its propaganda online magazine, Dabiq, showing a photo of the purported improvised bomb that brought down the Metrojet Russian plane in the Sinai. The magazine featured an image of a Schweppes soft drink can with the caption "Image of the IED used to bring down the Russian airliner".
The target was changed to a Russian plane after president Vladimir Putin decided to attack the jihadist group with air strikes in Syria and Iraq, says IS.
"A bomb was smuggled onto the airplane, leading to the deaths of 219 Russians and 5 other crusaders only a month after Russia's thoughtless decision," said Dabiq.
This comes comes after Russia's security chief has admitted that a "terror act" brought down Russian Metrojet flight 9268 in Egypt's Sinai. FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov said a bomb went off on the plane after traces of explosives were found in the wreckage. The Russian A321 plane was allegedly blown up by a home-made explosive device and up to 1.5kg of TNT were believed to be on board.
The 12th issue of Dabiq is entitled 'Just Terror' and mentions last Friday's Paris terror attacks that left 129 dead and hundreds wounded.


Our kilim rugs and rugs for kitchens and entryways add space-flattering scale and protect hardwood floors and carpets. I loved it the initial year or so. It picked up dog hair, dust, bits of paper and filled the plastic receptacle to the best every single time I utilized it. I constantly vacuumed the wood floors and most of the rugs just before it began to slow down and sounded like it was going to die. Photo Credit: Amazon – This cutting board is posted for sale below so keep scrolling to see it and other items for your kitchen. She liked to travel and got tiny sets from every single state she had ever been to. It's a somewhat strange collection that I have not noticed anybody else do, but it was cool. The most crucial is consider on studying to make the kitchen far much more functional.
Wood floors are a warmer surface underneath, specifically when scattered rugs center the seating regions. By the way, I got the above image from this internet site , exactly where I thought I'd discover some funny, hideous rugs. I may have picked out a jute rug for my living room, but be conscious that jute/sea grass/sisal/bamboo are not genuinely cozy or soft rugs.
One of my favored examples is our kitchen rug, our dark cabinets want some brightness and contrast and this rug does the trick. We have a wide choice of stylish rugs to pick from, varying in colours to suit both vibrant and neutral types of decor. Even though I've in no way managed in my life to ever spray the kitchen table with water even though doing dishes, I am mindful. The rugs don't have to be massive, just large sufficient to anchor the furnishings in every single space. I decided to barrier off access to the kitchen or any other part of the property temporarily.
The robot can dust-mop all the floors in a good-sized apartment like mine on 1 charge and nevertheless have power left to wet-mop the bathroom and kitchen. Floors may be hardwood, bamboo or organic stone, typically covered with region rugs in organic tones of brown, burnt orange, blue and green. Deciding on a great kitchen knife can be challenging provided the wide choice available.

Wedding photography isn't for everyone. It requires a ton of pre-planning, patience, and knowledge.
Weddings can't be re-shot should something go wrong with the images. So you have to do many things to ensure that you get it right. This leaves no room for error, which can put a lot of stress on a photographer. So unless you are 100% confident that you can handle the job and produce professional images of this very special day, you should politely turn down the request.
There is nothing wrong with NOT saying "yes" to every request you get as a photographer. It's better to let them find someone else more experienced and knowledgeable than to end up completely ruining the images of a day that doesn't have a do-over option.
But if you are ready to venture into the world of wedding photography, make sure you are prepared for this huge task that comes with a lot of responsibility.
Here are a few tips and things to keep in mind before booking your first wedding.
You don't want to show up at a wedding just assuming you are prepared because you have read up on the subject. While reading articles and watching videos is absolutely a great way to learn the tricks of the trade, the best way to familiarize yourself with the wedding photography process is to get hands on experience by assisting (second shooting) with another pro who knows the ropes. Get in as many assisting jobs as possible before flying solo.
Assisting pros can help you get a feel of the types of shots you should be getting, gear needed, and how to deal with the fast pace and stress of the responsibility that comes with shooting a wedding. Listen to them, watch them, learn as much as you can from them.
Whether you are second shooting for free for learning purposes only, or getting paid for the help, you should get in multiple assisting gigs before booking your first wedding.
You need to make sure that everything you are using to shoot with works properly prior to the wedding. The last thing you want to do is get there and your gear fail on you. Yes, things happen, electronics malfunction. This is why you need to have back-up equipment on hand should something go wrong mid-wedding. You will need a back-up camera, back-up lighting, back-up memory cards and batteries, multiple lenses, etc.
Before you walk out the door to head to the wedding, double check that everything works and that you haven't forgot anything. Once you get to the wedding, everything is so fast paced that you won't have time to run back home or wait for someone to come to your rescue.
While there are some situations where a second shooter isn't necessary, such as a very small short ceremony outdoors, for the most part, you do not need to take on a wedding alone.
Hire an assistant (another pro) to help you with carrying all of your gear, setting up lighting, and getting shots that you may not be able to get. You can't be two places at once, so having a second set of hands and eyes will take a lot of stress off of you. When pricing the wedding, include the cost of the second shooter.
When it comes to wedding photography, you really need to know as much about the event as possible before the big day. Of course everything most likely won't go exactly as planned, but you need to at least know the plan.
Stay in contact with the bride/groom in the days/months leading up to the wedding to stay updated on the plan. You should know what time you need to arrive based on the schedule. Will the bride and groom be getting ready at the location of the wedding (church, venue)? Or will they be at a hotel or friend's house? Taking images of the bride getting ready is almost always included in wedding photography. So if it's on your checklist, you need to know where to be and when. You may need to be at a hotel getting images of the bride while your second shooter is with the groom getting photos at another location.
Being a wedding photographer is a lot like being a wedding planner. So communication with the bride is crucial. Ask questions about any special photos they just must have, create a time-line of when to get photos of the wedding party, detail shots, family, etc. Make sure both you and the bride and groom (or wedding planner) have a copy of this so everyone knows where to be and when.
Having a general timeline will help keep the day flowing as smoothly as possible without forgetting or running out of time to cover everything.
Also, visit the venue or church ahead of time so that you can be familiar with the lighting, set-up, etc. Find out if there are any rules about using flash (some churches and ministers simply won't allow it).
Get an idea of where you and your assistant will need to be standing to get the ceremony photos without being in the way. The less visible you are, the better.
Many photographers attend the wedding rehearsal. This could be a great time to get some test shots in and see first-hand when, where, and how everything will go down.
Wedding photography presents a lot of photo opportunities. The shots that need to be on your checklist may vary from wedding to wedding, depending on the size and length of the ceremony and the bride's personal requests. But for a full day wedding gig, getting shots from start to finish, here is a general list of things you need to cover in order to truly capture every special moment and detail of the big day.
Get plenty of in-between images throughout the day. Candid shots really give the photos life. Capture expressions, hugs, tears, everyone having a good time at the wedding, and just any moment that you witness that you feel is worth capturing. Bride's LOVE getting to see images of things they may have not been able to witness at their wedding. Let your images tell the story from start to finish. Everything does not need to be posed (although those are necessary also).
Weddings require a lot of responsibility on the photographer's part. This a big day for the bride and groom and they should be able to look through their gallery of images and be happy with the results. They should be able to re-live that day through photos that cover all of the details and special memorable moments.
If you get some experience in as a second shooter PRIOR to booking your first wedding, keep communication between the bride and groom open and consistent leading up to the day, have all of the proper gear necessary, and have a plan and checklists, you can feel much more confident taking on such a huge and important job.

Raf Addison was an gangly awkward looking player who was an outstanding shooter and a solid all-around player. He was able to play both the shooting guard and small forward positions, and with his size and shooting range, creating a mismatch in both scenarios. Addison was a good athlete with quick hands; he once set the SU freshman record for steals in a game with seven. He was a good free through shooter, and adept and passing the ball at his size.
As a freshman, Addison came out of nowhere to provide some valuable minutes off the bench behind Syracuse's high profile senior trio of Rautins, Santifer, and Bruin. His efforts placed him on the All Big East Rookie team. As a sophomore he stepped right into the starting lineup to lead the Orangemen in scoring, and with the dynamic Pearl Washington, the two improved the team, despite the loss of the three seniors. He would score 31 points in the first round of the Big East Tournament that year to beat Connecticut. By his junior year, Addison was gaining a national reputation as being the most underrated player in the country, and again led the Orangemen in scoring.
Expectations for the Orangemen were high his senior year, as Addison was taking aim at Dave Bing's career scoring record, the Pearl was dynamic as ever, and the rest of the team matured. Jim Boeheim started having Addison spend time at the shooting guard position, to open up the low post game for Wendell Alexis and Rony Seikaly. And in many ways the team did not disappoint anyone as they posted an outstanding regular season record and won the Big East Regular Season title.
However, for Addison, his senior year would be a frustrating one. He would injure his leg in early winter. While he did not miss any games, it did hamper his playing ability and limit some of his playing time, and his scoring dropped off sharply the second half of the season. In the NCAA tournament, Syracuse had an embarrassing loss in the second round to Navy, who did have 6'10" future NBA superstar David Robinson. Addison finished the year only seven points shy of Bing's record.
Addison was first team Big East his junior year, and second team his sophomore and senior seasons. Addison earned a degree in communications from Syracuse later that year.
He was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1986 draft by the Phoenix Suns. He would play a total of six seasons in the NBA, spread over 11 years. He spent time with the Phoenix Suns, New Jersey Nets, Detroit Pistons, and Charlotte Hornets. In 1988 he went to Italy where he was an All-Star for five seasons, before returning to the U.S. After he finished with the NBA, he played in Greece for a couple of years.

In 1998 he returned to his high school alma mater as the basketball coach and a teacher. He would coach basketball for seventeen yeaers. When he was in high school, he had led Snyder High school to the New Jersey Class IV state championship his senior year. He was named to the Syracuse All Century Team in 2000. Addison was named a Syracuse Letterwinner of Distinction in 2017 and awarded the Vic Hanson Medal of Excellence in 1998.

Commercial Arbitration
Federal Court Enjoins CMS Ban on Pre-Dispute Arbitration Agreements in Long-Term Care Facilities
Healthcare Alert | November 7, 2016
By: William Kennedy
On November 7, 2016, a federal judge enjoined the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) from enforcement of its recently-announced ban on arbitration clauses in the contracts of long-term care facilities that participate in Medicare or Medicaid. In an alert (CMS Bans Pre-Dispute Arbitration Agreements for Long-Term Care Facilities) published on September 29, 2016, White and Williams advised clients about a newly-announced ban imposed by CMS which was to become effective on November 28, 2016. The court's injunction prevents the new CMS ban from going into effect. Because most skilled nursing facilities participate in Medicare or Medicaid, the ban would have required virtually the entire industry to alter proposed residence and care contracts.
Citing "separation of powers" concerns, in American Health Care Association et al. v. Burwell, U.S. District Judge Michael P. Mills (N.D. MS) granted a preliminary injunction sought by the American Health Care Association and others. The injunction prohibits CMS from enforcing the ban set forth in the Federal Register on October 4, 2016, and which was to be codified at 42 CFR §483.70(n). See also, 81 Fed. Reg. at 68,867.
Applying the familiar standards for granting injunctive relief, Judge Mills first concluded that it is likely that CMS will ultimately lose on the merits. The court noted that in decisions issued in 2011, 2012, and 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court required courts to enforce privately negotiated arbitration agreements pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 2. Significantly, Judge Mills also concluded that neither the Medicare Act nor the Medicaid Act give CMS the executive authority to prohibit arbitration in the long-term care industry.
CMS had relied on a statutory clause that enables the Secretary of Health and Human Services to impose "such other requirements relating to the health and safety [and the well-being] of residents . . . as [she] may find necessary," 42 U.S.C. §§ 1395i- 3(d)(4)(B), 1396r(d)(4)(B), and to establish "other right[s]" to "protect and promote the rights of each resident," in addition to those expressly set forth in the statutes and regulations. Id. §§1395i-3(c)(1)(A)(xi), 1396r(c)(1)(A)(xi). The court found such authority to be inadequate to express a Congressional intent to override the Federal Arbitration Act in the nursing home context. Although CMS relied on letters from 34 U.S. Senators who favor the proposed ban, Judge Mills was dubious of the Constitutional propriety of using a minority of Congressional support:
The fact that those Senators urged CMS to adopt the Rule raises concerns in this court's mind that they were attempting to accomplish by agency fiat what they could not accomplish through the legislative process, namely abolish nursing home arbitration. However much sympathy this court might have with the public policy considerations which motivated that desire, the basic concept of separation of powers is far more fundamental and important than the pending arbitration issue.
Still, noting the tenor of Congress, the court wrote,
While there is undoubtedly a great deal of Congressional gridlock, Congress' failure to enact positive legislation should not serve as an excuse for the executive branch to assume powers which are properly reserved for the legislative branch. It appears to this court that the Rule enacted by CMS in this case crosses the line.
The court expressed sympathy for the public policy concerns that CMS cited as underlying its ban, but it noted that an Executive branch agency must have statutory authority to enact regulations. "The problem … is that CMS does not have the authority to ban nursing home arbitration on general policy grounds." The court also expressed concern that CMS may have impermissibly sidestepped the economic-impact analysis required under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. § 601. The court likewise questioned CMS' failure to conduct proper studies of the pros and cons of arbitration clauses instead of relying on unsubstantiated, self-serving statements from the American Trial Lawyers Association and other interested proponents.
Noting that arbitration clauses are currently acceptable to CMS and enforceable at law, the court concluded that a preliminary injunction was the appropriate relief to retain the status quo and avoid potential irreparable harm. Judge Mills likewise determined that the harm imposed by denying an injunction far outweighed any harm in issuing the order. The court was particularly concerned about the immediacy of the ban's November 28, 2016 effective date.
The court expressed considerable concerns about arbitrations involving a population prone to experience mental degradation and deficiencies. "This case places this court in the undesirable position of preliminarily enjoining a Rule which it believes to be based upon sound public policy." Still, the court decided that it was "unwilling to play a role in countenancing the incremental "creep" of federal agency authority beyond that envisioned by the U.S. Constitution."
Although the American Health Care Association case was filed in Mississippi, the order is not geographically limited. The order enjoins enforcement of the new regulation without regard to geographical jurisdiction. Any appeal from Judge Mills' order will go to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Breguet 11 Corsair was a three engined aircraft with two pushers and one tractor. The two pusher engines were mounted on the lower wing, either side of the main fuselage, in nacelles, each with its own tricycle undercarriage. The three-bay, unequal span wings had ailerons mounted in the upper wings, but despite a favourable test report, the aircraft was declined in favour of smaller models. The 90-ft (27.6m) wingspan was one of the reasons it was declined, but it was felt that the relatively slow speed of the aircraft, 91 mph (149 kph), coupled with its enormous size made it an easy target for anti-aircraft guns.

Q: getting undefined method `_' for # I am getting:

 Failure/Error: is_expected.to contain_class('ntpd')

 NoMethodError:
   undefined method `_' for
 <Puppet::Resource::Catalog::Compiler:0x00000003f03338>

when I run the 'rake spec' command against a puppet unit test file.  The code in the unit test file is simple:
require 'spec_helper'
#require 'shared_contexts'

describe 'ntpd' do

# Pre resource tests

   it 'should contain class ntpd' do
      is_expected.to contain_class('ntpd')
   end

end

About 18 months ago this code worked.  I downloaded all the required gems to run the 'rake spec' command recently as I am picking up the puppet unit testing project again and now all I can get is the above error.  I did a bunch of searching online but no one seems to have run into this specific error.  I only end up working with ruby when I work with puppet so my ruby skills are basic.  Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

A: After some further digging I finally found the answer.  As a part of the gems I installed to do the unit testing additional gems were installed by several of those gems.  The rspec-puppet-utils gem installed the puppet 5 gem.  We are still using puppet 3.8.  Once I uninstalled the puppet 5 gem the error disappeared and the unit tests started working.

Ladies like to focus on their abs, butts and legs, and they usually neglect their shoulders. However, having toned, a bit wider and round shoulders look great if you wear a dress or a top. They make your hips and waist look thinner.
In addition, they are required to make your body more symmetrical, and since your deltoids are used in almost every exercises, it is important to strengthen them.
It is never too late to develop the deltoid muscles. You will find many powerful shoulder workouts for women below that help you to transform your upper body in no time.
What are the best shoulder exercises for women?
Before talking about the most beneficial moves here are some tips to avoid injuries and to get the most from the movements.
Firstly, and this is crucial, you need to warm up your shoulder muscles before the training. Spend about 5-10 minutes on warming up your entire body and focusing on your deltoids / rotator cuff.
For most of the deltoid exercises for women, you will need to use free weights. There is no need to use heavy weights since you will not be able to perform the motions correctly and do the number of sets and reps. On top of that, using too heavy weights may cause injuries as well. Pick ones that are heavy enough to challenge your muscles but allow to keep the correct form.
To get the most from your workouts, you need to pay attention to performing the moves correctly. Do the motions slowly focusing on your shoulders. Avoid swinging and twitching while you do weight training.
Finally, after your workout spend some time with stretching.
Now you now what you should focus on during your training, now let's see the most beneficial exercises for shoulders at home for ladies.
For most of the workouts, you will need one or a pair of dumbbells that you can buy for some bucks if you have not got yet. This way you will be able to do the workout routines at home without going to the gym.
Bodyweight moves: push ups, pull ups and dips.
Since there are great tutorials online, I put together a playlist in which you can learn how to perform these activities correctly. In my opinion, the best exercise to build muscle and strength is the overhead dumbbell press (it also works the upper part of your chest).
Now you know the best moves and how to perform them. The next step is to pick a workout plan. Here are a few good shoulder workout routines for women.
This is an excellent routine with some compound exercises with free weight and bodyweight moves. Bodyweight exercises are great since they put less stress on the joints. It is maybe better for those who are familiar with working out.
This is an excellent fitness program for ladies to strengthen and enhance the definition of your shoulders and arms together. It includes the most beneficial dumbbell exercises. You should 3 sets with 10 reps for each one.
In this video deltoids and back are trained together. Good for both mass and definition.
TRX is an excellent equipment for home to strengthen your entire body. From this guide you can learn a few activities for your delts. However, this type of training also strengthen other muscle groups at the same time as well.
Won't I look bulky and muscular if I do girl shoulder workouts?
That is what my wife asked when I put together her routine. My answer is NO! To have such huge physique like girls doing bodybuilding, a lot of work and proper nutrition is required. They also lift heavy weights.
How to get rid of female shoulders fat?
To burn fat and get lean body, you should focus on your nutrition and do cardio training. With women's shoulder workouts, you can make your muscles toned and strong, but they cannot be seen if they are covered with fat. So, focus on your diet plan that will support your weight loss. However, doing higher number of reps 15-25 with lighter weights may help as well.
I do not like lifting weights? Are there any exercises without weights?
Yes! I have put together a list here. These moves do not require any equipment at all so you can do them anywhere.
To keep you muscles and joints in a healthy condition you should not work them too much. I think, training twice a week is the maximum. They need time to recover and you should have time for other muscle groups.

Volvo doesn't even want to see this car! A Swedish model was tuned by the Turks
Volvo doesn't even want to see this car. The Swedes who want to build the safest cars in the world would be terrified. The Turks tuned an extreme to a C30.
Volvo has a reputation as the manufacturer of the safest cars in the world. They rely so much on safety that they have decided to limit the speed of all models to 180 km / h to reduce the number of serious injuries and deaths on board their cars. But the Turks took a Volvo in the opposite direction
A Volvo C30 now looks unrecognizable after leaving the Lockman tuning shop in Istanbul.
Almost everything was changed to the Swedish car, which received an impressive widebody kit. It has an aggressive front splitter, a redesigned bar and a new hood. The wings have been replaced with some protrusions that radically change the width of the car. The thresholds have a bizarre cutout. In the back, above the glass tailgate, a huge aileron appeared.
About the Volvo C30
The Volvo C30 was produced between 2006-2013 and received a single generation. The Nordics decided to give up the three-door compact due to low interest in the model, at a time when customers began to turn to SUVs.
The model was built on the Volvo P1 / Ford C1 platform, which was also the basis of Ford's C-Max MPV. Its engine range offered four petrol units with four and five cylinders in line. These are 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.4 liter engines. Three diesel engines were also available, with 1.6, 2.0 and 2.4 liter engines.
The most powerful version was the T5 with 230 horsepower. Volvo went even further. For those waiting for a sporty version, the Nordics also launched a limited edition Polestar, produced in 2012-2013, with 250 horsepower.

The Houston Rockets were without Carmelo Anthony for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers and his time with the team may be over.
Marc Stein of the New York Times cited two sources and reported "Anthony has been informed that his brief time with the team will soon be ending." Stein noted the 10-time All-Star was listed as out against the Pacers because of illness.
Players and coaches with the Rockets believe Anthony has played his last game with the team, according to Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com.
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey wasn't ready to commit to the end of the Anthony era, though, saying he thought the swingman would return to the rotation and is "evaluating everything," per Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.
Houston signed Anthony this past offseason after the Atlanta Hawks waived him before he ever took the court for the team. The Hawks only had him on their roster because they acquired him via trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Anthony is a future Hall of Famer as a six-time All-NBA selection with 14 seasons of averaging at least 20 points a night, including 2012-13 when he was the league's scoring champion at 28.7. He was joining Chris Paul and James Harden on a team that was one victory away from the NBA Finals, where he wouldn't be asked to shoulder the offensive load.
Still, it has been anything but a success, as the Rockets are 4-7 and Anthony is averaging what would be a career-worst 13.4 points and 0.5 assists per game. This comes after he set career lows with 16.2 points per game behind 40.4 percent shooting from the field last season for a Thunder team that lost in the first round of the playoffs.
Anthony's prime is well in the rearview mirror at 34 years old, and now the question is whether his brief Rockets tenure will be in the rearview mirror as well.

If an emergency strikes, you will need fuel for things like your generator or your bug out vehicle.
Compared to gasoline storage, diesel fuel lasts much longer and is easier to store.
However, just like gasoline, diesel fuel will go bad. With the right diesel storage methods though, you can make your diesel fuel last much longer.
How Long Does Diesel Last?
Depending on whom you ask, you'll get a different answer as to how long diesel fuel can last.
This is because the lifespan of diesel fuel largely depends on the conditions. Diesel fuel stored in a cold area like Alaska is going to last longer than in sunny, humid Florida.
The diesel fuel sold today is a lot different than the diesel fuel several decades ago. The old type of diesel fuel could last for years without problem.
Today's diesel fuel is actually ultra low sulfur diesel. Low sulfur means that emissions are lower, but also means that the fuel won't last as long.
There are lots of anecdotal reports of diesel fuel lasting much longer than this. I've read in forums of diesel fuel lasting 10+ years and being okay. However, you'll risk ruining your machines if you use expired diesel.
What makes diesel go bad?
Of these factors, water is probably going to be your worst enemy.
Even if you live in a dry area with little temperature fluctuation, you will still end up with some condensation in your tanks.
The condensation not only causes your diesel to gel, but also encourages bacteria and fungus growth.
In theory, you can still use diesel fuel after it has gone bad. However, it will be hell for your machines.
Gelled diesel will clog filters and end up in your engines – leading to failure. The acids that form in old diesel will cause part corrosion and injector deposits.
It is simply not worth the risk of ruining your machines, so keep an eye for signs of spoilage.
First you will need to decide how much diesel fuel you need to store. I would recommend storing no more than what you'd use in a 12 month period.
This way you will be able to rotate through the stored diesel, adding more to your stockpile as necessary.
You can buy 5 gallon diesel cans. Storage in cans are pretty straight-forward. If you need to store a bit more diesel, then you can get 55 gallon drums.
The problem with diesel drums is that they don't have a drain on the bottom. There will be no way to remove sediment or bad diesel from the drum. If the diesel starts going bad, you are pretty much screwed.
Don't let water pool on top of the drum: It will cause the drum to corrode, which can affect the fuel.
Keep the temperature consistent: I know this isn't always possible, but fluctuations in temperature will cause condensation and water accumulation. You might consider an earth-sheltered building.
Rotate! Use the first-in, first-out method to make sure your diesel is getting rotated before it goes bad.
Clean drums between fillings: Before putting new diesel into a drum, clean it. Read how here.
If you need larger amounts of diesel fuel, a tank can be a good solution. The great thing about tanks is that they should have a drain on the bottom. Since sludge, water and bacteria settle on the bottom of the tank, you can drain off these impurities.
Consider an underground tank: You'll have to check your local regulations for installing an underground tank. While this option is pricier and can be more complicated, it will allow you to keep your tank free of water and at a fairly consistent temperature.
House above ground tanks: Put a roof over the tank to keep water off of it.
Keep the tank full: The more empty space your tank has, the more room there is for condensation and microbial growth.
Insulate tanks: Cold weather can cause diesel to gel or ice to form within the tank. Insulation helps prevent this.
Check your fuel regularly: Look out for signs that the diesel is going bad, like gelling or scum. If this occurs, let the diesel sit so the scum goes to the bottom. Then drain off the bad diesel from the bottom outlet.
Aside from storing the diesel properly, there are a few things you can do to make it last longer.
There is a learning curve to using these products, so it might not be worth it for small amounts of diesel that get rotated.
For long-term diesel storage though, you'll absolutely need to implement these practices.
Diesel biocides are added to prevent microbial growth, which is one of the major causes of diesel going bad. You can't just dump biocide into the diesel tank though. Read about how to use diesel biocides here.
These are two of the most popular brands of diesel biocide.
These prevent oxidation and acid-based reactions in the diesel fuel. They can extend the life of your diesel fuel by years (though proper storage is still necessary). There are plenty of options for diesel stabilizers on the market.
The Sta-Bil brand of diesel stabilizer is highly recommended and can keep fuel fresh for 24+ months.
These additives will attract water molecules and bond with them. The bonded water is trapped in the fuel, causing it to burn off as steam in the combustion chamber instead of spoiling the fuel.
There aren't as many options for diesel water absorbers. If living somewhere humid or subject to drastic temperature changes though, you might want to consider this product.
As a general rule, you should dispose of any diesel fuel which has started to go bad. In a SHTF situation though, you might not be able to replace the fuel. Filtering can clean the old diesel fuel and make it usable.
Let the diesel fuel sit (very still!) and most (but not all) of the sludge and sediment will settle to the bottom of the tank. Using the valve at the bottom of your tank, drain off the dirty diesel.
Next, you'll need to filter the old diesel to remove other impurities so they don't get into your engines. Diesel fuel filters have hydrophobic coatings, which means that they catch water as well as sediment.
The filter by Mr. Funnel is a good choice. You might also want to check out the oil cleaner filter by Frantz which is designed for automotive installation.
Are you storing diesel long-term? Let us know any tips or problems that you have encountered!
I just bought a fishing boat in Alaska that has been sitting for six years. It has a 671 Jimmy in it. My biggest concern is the fuel? I don't know how many gallons are in each tank? If any additives were used before storage? Will this fuel damage my engine?
Hey T-rex – impossible to say without testing it. Is it showing any of the signs of going bad as listed in the article?

Have you ever experienced a food baby? You know, when you look about six months pregnant after eating a big meal (and believe me, birthing your double bacon cheeseburger and onion ring love child is certainly not as rewarding as the miracle that is child birth). Well, the same thing can happen if you don't pay attention to ingredient labels on pre-packaged foods, which I've learned the hard way.
Since giving up gluten and dairy, I've had to read over ingredient labels to evade consuming additives that make me look comparable to Big Bertha (you know, the arcade game where you threw plastic balls into Bertha's mouth as she yelled "FEED ME, FEED ME!". That was my favorite game, so it's no wonder I eat three jars of almond butter a week… anyway, I digress) and I'm still in the process of educating myself on what to avoid to this day.
Even if you aren't looking out for certain allergens, it is highly beneficial to know what ingredients are in the food that you eat, because in today's world food can contain harmful substitutes, additives, and chemicals (oh my!) that make you feel yucky and bloated, and diminish your health all the same.
Before delving into certain types of ingredients that you should avoid, let's go over some general tips and tricks to deciphering this whole label reading process. For starters, if there are ingredients that you aren't able to pronounce (unless if phonetics just aren't your thing) or aren't familiar with, you should put the package down. This typically means that the product contains an unnatural ingredient that isn't the best for human consumption.
Placement of ingredients on the label is also important, as "ingredients are listed in descending order by proportion or quantity" (Hyman, 2012; Wilder, 2012). Therefore, if you were buying salsa, you'd want tomatoes, onions, and peppers as the first ingredients on the label, because that would mean that the product has more natural ingredients as opposed to preservatives and additives.
Another rule of thumb is, as the ingredient list gets longer, the less healthy that product is (unless if you're buying a pre-packaged salad with lots of veggies in it, that's definitely an exception to the rule!) (Hyman, 2012). Some people suggest not buying anything that has over five ingredients, but that may be hard to start off with at first. Remember, it's a marathon not a sprint (yes, I already used that analogy in a previous post, but I think it's appropriate. Or maybe it's an all-night bender, not a power-hour… no, that's definitely worse), but these few tips will have you well on your way to buying healthier pre-packaged foods in no time!
Now that we have a better idea of where to start when checking out a label, it's time to tackle additives and substitutes, because doing so will make for a happier and healthier you! But before I dive in here, I will warn you that avoiding all of the ingredients I'm about to mention might knock out a good portion of your current diet. Fortunately, there are typically healthy versions of whatever snack you love (and if not, it's okay to splurge or treat yourself here and there).
Anything with high-fructose corn syrup should be avoided, as it is a liquid sugar that your body quickly burns, and may contain mercury (heavy metals = BAD!). High-fructose corn syrup provides your body with no nutritional value yet slows down your metabolism and makes it easy to put on weight (Dolson, 2014).
The same thing goes for anything that has hydrogenated tacked on to its name. This means that the product includes trans fats and vegetable oils, which are very susceptible to turning rancid at room temperature (Hyman, 2012). Therefore, the food is already damaged goods on the shelves at your local grocery store, and when you eat these products, free radicals will find their way into your body.
Another ingredient to be wary of is highly refined cooking oils, such as corn, soy, safflower, etc. These oils can cause inflammation in your body, among other effects (more on that at a later point in time!), but it is best to use olive oil, coconut oil, ghee, etc.
Lastly, (at least last in this post, there is still more to be covered, but information overload doesn't help anyone), artificial sweeteners of all kinds should be avoided: aspartame, Splenda, sucralose, and sugar alcohols (but again, cheat here and there, because we all need a drink to celebrate various birthdays and holidays with a nice cold brewski or vino, especially ones involving romance… blech). As Dr. Hyman notes in his 2012 article, "they make you hungrier, slow your metabolism, give you bad gas, and make you store belly fat." I don't know about you, but none of those side effects sound desirable to me, especially as bathing suit season is upon us.
While there is some solid information in this post (not to toot (speaking of gas…) my own horn here), I urge you to be an informed consumer and take to Google, the classroom, your library, or whatever other medium speaks to you the most. Do some exploring and see what else is out there to further educate your noggin'. Challenge yourself to read more labels each time you go to the grocery store (if you're like me, that's at least three times a week. Oh God, I'm turning into my mother).
Most importantly, maybe you have some tips of your own or exciting information to share with the masses — please leave a comment if you do! I'm always down to learn more, and the ultimate goal is to use information to heal as many people as possible.

So it's Wednesday and you might be thinking, "Hooray! Today is a new Vault Disney day!" Well um, oh dear. This is awkward. In an effort to finish my new novel A Home for Wizards in time for my deadline next week, and so that you can all read it come January 23, 2016, I'm taking the week off of Disneying. That being said, I wouldn't dare come here empty handed. Below you will find the official back cover of A Home for Wizards, the first time it is being shown anywhere ever…EVER!
The book releases in January, as I mentioned before and I'll have news on the release very very soon for you and where you can get the book, as well as come to the launch and give me a big ol' hug if you're in the NYC area.

Q: How to exchange data between two apps (state machines) in MPLAB Harmony framework? I'm implementing multiple state machines that run in parallel using the MPLAB Harmony framework, but some of my state machines need to get a message when the another applications state machine enters a specific state. I could not find any information considering any "correct" or framework provided way of doing this kind of simple data exchange between state machines in the framework.
So basically, how do I exchange information about the event of state machine moving to a specific state (boolean type information, two possible values either in specific state or not in specific state) to another applications state machine whose operation depends on the the state of the other state machine. Is there a framework provided way of achieving this kind of simple information exchange? I'm writing my applications in C for the 32 bit Microchip microcontrollers.

A: Look into using the FreeRTOS provided by Harmony. They have a data set called queues that would be perfect for what you are describing. I use them in my ISRs to queue data that a task periodically acts upon once the buffer is complete.

Q: Is there any way to change the background of one specific item in a combox? I managed to change the font and the color of items based on a condition, but I can't change the background. Is that possible? If so, how?

Owner drawn looks as though it should do what you want.


Grove Printing Corporation was established in 1935 by William W. Grove. It began on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington DC as a letterpress shop. The business eventually moved to Rockville, Maryland where it became known for wedding invitations and Christmas cards along with other social and commercial printing.
Doris C. Braswell was hired as a book keeper in 1969 and became president in 1973. Doris purchased the company from William W. Grove's daughter after he passed away in 1977. She modernized the shop with the purchase of offset printing presses and expanded the already successful social invitation and small commercial printing business.
The company flourished under her leadership. Steven L. Braswell, Doris's son, began to learn the print trade and filled in when the need arose. He later became a full time employee. Together they continued to grow the company.
To better suit the expanding company it was moved to its current location at 4225 Howard Avenue in Kensington. They soon acquired larger and more sophisticated equipment including the addition of a full color offset press in 1999. This allowed Grove Printing to better serve their growing customer list and commercial printing business.
In January of 2001 Doris retired leaving the business in a good position to expand even more, which it has under Steve's leadership. Around this time we began to expand on our growing postcard and flyer business that we are known for today.
Aided by the dedication of many long time employees Grove Printing has built a strong foundation that will lead us into an even brighter future. What Grove Printing doesn't do in-house it acquires thru long established relationships in the industry.

NCAA honors Grant Hill as Ford Award winner
Bowling Green awarded NCAA/MOAA's Award for Diversity and Inclusion
January 20, 2017 6:21pm Amy Wimmer Schwarb
When Grant Hill graduated from Duke University, he left with lifelong friendships, experiences with faculty members who made an impact on his life, and four years of learning in what he calls "The Classroom of K."
There, he picked up lessons of leadership, teamwork, passion and sacrifice. And he learned on teams led by the Blue Devils' legendary men's basketball coach, Mike Krzyzewski.
"All of those experiences really establish a foundation I have taken with me for the rest of my life," Hill told more than 1,000 college presidents, athletics administrators, current student-athletes and others gathered today for the keynote session of the 2017 NCAA Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. "Sports really are a microcosm of life — those values, those principles you take on with you, in whatever industry and whatever you choose to do in life. It's a huge responsibility you all have in terms of continuing to nurture that for student-athletes."
Before he spoke, NCAA President Mark Emmert honored Hill, who went on to a 19-year professional basketball career in the NBA and is now a broadcaster for Turner Sports, as the recipient of the NCAA President's Gerald R. Ford Award. The award honors an individual who has provided leadership as an advocate for college sports.
Hill and his wife, Tamia, have continued to support Duke students through a $1 million donation to the university that established the Calvin Hill Scholarship Endowment Fund at the Duke Divinity School in honor of Hill's father. Hill also created the Grant Hill Achiever Scholarships, which provide scholarships in two cities where he played for NBA teams: Orlando, Florida, and Detroit.
In 2010, former President Barack Obama named Hill to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, where he helped develop national initiatives and platforms to motivate Americans to incorporate exercise and healthy eating habits into their lives.
"The Ford Award is given to someone who has spent their whole life working and toiling in various fields, but that life has been shaped by collegiate athletics," Emmert said while presenting the award. "This year's Ford Award recipient is an exemplar of what we want our student-athletes to achieve going forward."
Hill reflected on his life in sports and longtime fascination with the NCAA Men's Final Four. After his family bought its first Betamax and used it to record the 1982 championship game, in which the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, toppled Georgetown University, Hill watched — and re-watched and re-watched — the title game.
He went on to compete in three Final Fours as a Duke Blue Devil, winning two national championships. Hill's link to the Division I Men's Basketball Championship became complete in 2015 when he first joined the broadcast team to call the Final Four in Indianapolis, the city in which he played in his first Final Four.
After the award presentation, Hill joined Emmert for a conversation about college sports and the state of men's college basketball. Hill acknowledged he is glad he did not enter the NBA during this era, when many college athletes feel pressured to join the NBA draft after one season as college athletes.
"I think it's hurting the game," Hill said. "It weeds out older players in the NBA who can provide that mentorship that's necessary. … I had older guys that could show me the way — how to be a professional on and off the court."
Also at the keynote session, Bernard Franklin, the NCAA's chief inclusion officer and executive vice president of education and community engagement, and Peggy Davis, Virginia State University's athletics director and incoming president of the Minority Opportunities Athletic Association, presented the two organizations' joint 2017 Award for Diversity and Inclusion to Bowling Green State University's athletics department.
The award recognized the university's We Are One Team program, which has brought together more than 25 different offices, departments, activist groups and student organizations and connected them to a common goal of eliminating social injustice and creating an inclusive environment through sports.
Receiving the award for the athletics department were Bowling Green President Mary Ellen Mazey, Athletics Director Bob Moosbrugger, and doctoral student Yannick Kluch, the program's founder.
