Reaching the big 3-0 is pretty tough. Why? Well, because 30 is the age where most people feel like it's time to officially be an adult. But, we're here to say that there are a few less-than-ideal habits you can still have at 30. Of course, you can do anything you want at any age, but at least with these, nobody should even think to question you.
First thing's first — you don't have to have everything together just yet. Even though 30 always "seemed old" to you (especially when you were living your most carefree life at 22) it doesn't mean that you need to rearrange your habits and have all of your ducks in a row. It's totally normal to not yet be settled in a career, or not know if you want kids. It's even more normal to be single, and not all that excited about settling down. Everyone works at their own pace, and there's no wrong or right way to live your life.
With that out of the way, here are a few habits you need to stop beating yourself up over.
Is it a good thing to be up at six in the morning? Sure. The morning is a perfect time to be productive. But if you get your best work done in the evening, you shouldn't feel ashamed. Unless you're running late for work every day, you shouldn't have to justify when you fall asleep, and when you're at your most productive.
2You can't fall asleep without a stuffed animal or two.
Stuffed animals are around for a reason — they offer a lot of comfort. So you shouldn't be embarrassed about your tiny collection that still sits on top of your bed. If they're stuffed animals from childhood, they're even more important. Just looking at your bear with the button eyes (who survived the washing machine many times over) can bring back a lot of great memories. Just make sure to leave them at home during that job interview.
Even though subscription meal kits exist that help you create filling, healthy dinners, it's still an okay habit to occasionally grab a bowl of cereal instead. Cereal isn't just for kids, and it can totally be a cost-effective way of fighting hunger if money is tight.
4…And, you had instant ramen for lunch.
It might be a college staple, but it's still a quick and tasty thing to make on occasion — that is, unless you overdid it in school and can no longer stomach them. You definitely get bonus points if you toss the flavor packet aside and serve your noodles up in a more creative way. But even if you don't? It's totally okay.
5You know nothing about your car.
It's gray, and it's a Subaru. You know how to drive it, but you have no clue how to service it. Even though you feel like you should have mastered Mechanics 101 at this point, it's okay if you haven't. While learning about your vehicle will help in the long run, not everyone has an interest in automobiles. Yes, it'd be good to know how to change a tire, but professionals exist if it's something you're still unfamiliar with.
6You often get restless if you're working at one place for too long.
7You still turn to your parents when things get tough.
Your parents love you, and they were always a source of support. That doesn't change in your 30's. Even if you feel like you should have it all together by now, it's still totally okay to run to mom and dad on occasion for a little emotional support. They know you better than anyone else, after all.
8You don't make your bed.

London Jazz News
Songbook interview 2015
Singer Georgia Mancio (who also organises the ReVoice! Festival at Pizza Express) has a new project: she's written the lyrics to pianist Alan Broadbent's music to create 15 songs. Alison Bentley interviewed her about the forthcoming tour and recording plans.
London Jazz News: Tell me about your background in jazz.
Georgia Mancio: My grandparents were both professional classical musicians; I played the flute as a child and my parents listened to a lot of music at home- mainly classical and some jazz. Somehow, though, that leap of making a career in music seemed unreachable and I ended up studying film-making. I walked into Ronnie Scott's one very rainy night in September (20 years ago!) to ask if they needed waiters and worked there part-time for 5 years. Seeing and hearing music every night, and meeting working musicians helped me realise that yes, music is a passion and a calling, but it is also a job and hard graft. I was lucky to be encouraged by a couple of musicians who helped me make a demo and start getting gigs. It slowly snowballed, and I filled in gaps in my knowledge with courses and private tuition, but I still feel I really learnt (and continue to learn) on the job.
LJN: Did you hear any singers at Ronnie's who inspired you?
GM: Even before I fully understood what jazz singing was I knew Betty Carter was truly special. She commanded a unique respect from all of us, and despite her onstage demeanour she was really sweet off stage! Then definitely Liane Carroll, Ian Shaw, Claire Martin and Christine Tobin, all of whom I've had the pleasure of working with as a professional.
LJN: How did you start working with Alan Broadbent?
GM: Bassist Andy Cleyndert mentioned Alan had just played at the Watermill, and knowing I was a fan said, 'Why don't you email him and ask him if he'll do a gig with you?' Despite feeling a bit foolish sending in effect a fan letter, he replied straight away and said, 'Let's see if we can make something work.' So we did a couple of dates in 2013, including the London Jazz Festival, and then the Pizza Express Jazz Club last year.
LJN: Has he worked with many lyricists before?
GM: Mark Murphy wrote lyrics to 'Don't Ask Why' and we performed Alan's 'Heart's Desire' with Dave Frischberg's lyrics, which prompted me to ask if there were any other originals of his we could play together. In response he sent me 'The Long Goodbye' written for the Charlie Haden Quartet West album 'Haunted Heart.' He said, 'You're welcome to try a lyric but don't be offended if I'm not keen on what you do.' I completely understood, because it's a very generous and trusting thing to allow somebody else into work you've already realised.
LJN: It became 'The Last Goodbye'?
GM: It coincided that when Alan sent the song I was en route to Thailand to finally sell and say goodbye to my father's house. He had lived there for several years and died the year before. It took me a month to get the lyric down, and though I was nervous about Alan's reaction, I knew I had written from the heart. He asked me to change one word which led to the rewriting of the bridge, and though it's very personal to me, it was important that the story could be read in several ways.
After that he sent a very different sweet, old fashioned bossa, then a swing tune and we just got into a groove completing 15 songs together in about 10 months. I've never written so prolifically and while I've previously collaborated with Tim Lapthorn, Kate Williams and Frank Griffith, I've also just written lyrics for songs which the songwriter has never seen.
LJN: You wrote lyrics for a Pat Metheny tune.
GM: Yes he approved my lyric to 'Question and Answer' (on my album 'Silhouette') which gave me a lot of confidence. Writing with Alan has been a real masterclass though. I found it surprisingly easy to let go of any ego and not worry too much about the outcome. Whenever Alan suggested changes- a line, a last 8, digging a little deeper emotionally- I trusted it and took real pleasure and pride in perfecting what I already had. Because we didn't start out with the intention of making an album of original songs there was no pressure; it was purely writing for writing's sake. Having taken a sabbatical from the ReVoice! Festival I've really been able to immerse myself in the process.
LJN: When Alan sent you the charts, what inspired you?
GM:: For me the titles are always the starting point, in as much as they give a clue to what the writer had in mind. I only changed one title completely- 'Sing a Song of Dameron' became 'The Cherry Tree' (so I didn't have to be distracted thinking about Cameron rhyming with Dameron!) I just listened over and over to the demos Alan made to find a way in with maybe a word or phrase. In life I'm a terrible decision maker- in restaurants friends will often pick something from the menu for me to spare us all! But with lyrics most of the time I stick with and trust my first ideas. I write in quite a strong and simple style with intentional repetition, nothing overly descriptive. And maybe as a hangover from my film studies I like stories and characters.
LJN: You use a lot of rhyme- as in the coda of 'Someone's Sun.'
[Some cohere, some pioneer and/some steer clear, some persevere./
Some will fear the searing sun and some will cheer.]
GM: That song title immediately intrigued me (we think it's from a Shakespeare sonnet) and the obvious response to me for 'Someone's sun' is 'someone's rain' which then sparked the whole lyric summarised: "You will find that someone's loss is someone else's gain". It's a bright samba with great rhythmic subtleties so I tried to use my rhyming dictionary judiciously and not just go for the lazy, obvious rhymes.
LJN: Which lyricists do you admire?
GM:: I think Jon Hendricks is incredible. I first admired his erudite vocalese but realised his true genius with his lyric of Bruno Martino's 'Estate'. It's heartbreakingly poetic, simple and beautiful and also a faithful translation of the original Italian. I've done a couple of translations and appreciate how hard it is to get that balance right.
LJN: Your song 'One For Bud' (the boppy one) made me think of Jon Hendricks.
[Wherever I go, the doctors don't know which cure to give or which kind
of pill./They say it's a shame but bebop's to blame: it seems I'm hooked for better or ill.]
GM: Thank you! It's great fun to follow that tradition and yes, I've definitely drawn inspiration from him several times in previous lyrics of mine: to Horace Silver's 'Strollin', Chick Corea's 'Bud Powell' and Miles Davis' 'Deception'. In that vein I also love Georgie Fame's lyrics and vocalese and the brilliant witticisms of Dorothy Fields, Bob Dorough and Dave Frischberg. I think Ian Shaw is an underrated lyricist who can scorch your heart and Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln, Johnny Mercer, Harry Warren and Fran Landesman have made indelible contributions to the art form.
LJN: You mentioned that the theme of the album is built around childhood and growing up, growing older, like the song 'Just Like a Child?' [Take me back again to when fun was fun./Things were simple then: as a child one plus one.]
GM: I realised that tropes were perhaps subliminally creeping into our songs so when we decided to make an album we both liked the idea of a central theme. Some exist for their own sake (like 'One For Bud') but there is a lot about the ageing process and growing whether spiritually or physically and change (seasonal, personal). 'Just Like a Child' (originally 'Chris Craft' instrumentally) is the last song we wrote and it's an epic so I tried to encompass everything that had gone before. It's a light hearted piece and yet sometimes the lyric goes deep: "We're all frantically coping/intervening between death and birth/ Open up your mind and go back/Think just like a child."
LJN: Do you have a date in mind for the new album?
GM: We're recording Sept/Oct so hopefully releasing Summer 2016.
LJN: What's the line up?
GM: Both the gigs and album are arranged for quartet and I'm really excited to have Dave Ohm joining us on drums and Oli Hayhurst on bass. Rob Barron has been rehearsing the arrangements with us and doing a great job standing in for Alan until we are all finally in the same country! What I love about Oli and Dave is they have so much musicality and artistic maturity there is no ego, they just want to serve the songs and deliver all the beauty and nuance in the music and the words.

Central Texas baker goes international in new Food Network holiday show
Published: Nov. 9, 2022 at 12:20 PM CST
HARKER HEIGHTS, Texas (KWTX) - A Central Texas Baker who has won two reality cooking shows on Food Network is taking her baking skills abroad.
Lilian Halabi, 44, owner of Lily's Cakes in Harker Heights, has been cast to compete on a show called The Big Bake, a Canadian baking show that airs on Food Network Canada which also airs on Food Network in the United States.
Lily's episode will be holiday themed and will air in December.
The baker which just marked her 10 year anniversary of opening her doors in Harker Heights last month said being on an international baking show is a dream come true.

"It's such an honor just to think that I started from here, from my home, my home kitchen," Lily said. "I started baking and decorating cakes and I've been part of a few cake competitions, won two of them, and then here we are representing Central Texas internationally."
The cake decorating expert, who is self taught, is taking along two of her team members from Lily's Cakes to compete alongside her.
Jolly Cake will be the team name for head baker Lily, and fellow bakers Janice Segarra, an employee of Lily's for over four years, and Lan Griffin, an employee of almost a year that is a current culinary arts student at Central Texas College.
"They love it, of course," Lily said. "They are very nervous but it's a once in a lifetime experience to compete on television especially outside the US."
Lily is a veteran when it comes to showcasing her skills in front of millions on Food Network.
She won Cake Wars in 2017 and Holiday Wars in 2018. Both of those wins came with not only the prestige but a $10,000 cash prize.
The Central Texas business owner finished in second place on Halloween Wars 2021.
Lily competed in Cake Wars Champs in March 2017 and Winner Cake All in March of 2019 but did not win.
She was chosen as a virtual judge on Buddy vs Duff in July 2021.
Lily can't release details of her latest appearance but says it was filmed in Canada and will showcase their holiday decorating skills.
"We do a sculpted cake, and we get to show our experience in cake decorating and the sugar artistry as well," Lily said. "It's Holiday themed and the name of the episode is Naughty or Nice."
Lily's episode on The Big Bake will air Monday, December 12, at 10 p.m. Central on Food Network.

Lance Armstrong and USADA's doping charges
Once again, the seven-time Tour de France winner is accused of cheating. Once again, he denies it. Is it time to move along?

Another round of dramatic headlines over doping allegations against Lance Armstrong, this time occasioned by the US anti-doping agency, USADA, sending a 15-page letter to Armstrong, and others, charging extensive use of – indeed, a conspiracy over – performance-enhancing drugs. The Washington Post appears to have obtained a copy of the letter, the rest of the media is following its lead.
USADA is a part federally funded agency overseeing anti-doping in the US Olympic movement, but it has the power to suspend athletes from competition (as it has already now with Armstrong, 40, who will be barred from his present schedule of triathlon appearances), to bring charges (though not criminal charges) in a hearing. Depending on the outcome, it may strip an athlete of his or her titles. So, what is at stake, potentially, is the full set of Armstrong's seven consecutive Tour de France victories (1999-2005).
The USADA letter accuses Armstrong of participating in an organised doping program, administered, it is alleged, with the aid or knowledge of Armstrong's long-time team manager Johan Bruyneel and Italian trainer Dr Michele Ferrari. The banned drugs listed by USADA includes practically everything in the dope cheat's cabinet bar aspirin:
"[T]he blood booster EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, human growth hormone, corticosteroids, and saline and plasma infusions to boost his performance or mask his use of banned substances."
I am not an expert in the long and tortured history of these allegations, but it looks to me as though most of this stuff relies on statements made by former teammates such as Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton, or may be based on testimony given to the grand jury investigation (which finally closed without resulting in any prosecution of Armstrong). In other words, we knew this already – and whom we chose to believe was a matter of conscience.
The new element appears to be that USADA has samples taken from Armstrong during his Tour de France comeback appearances in 2009 and 2010, which it claims are "fully consistent with blood manipulation including EPO use and/or blood transfusions".
Not needless to say, Lance Armstrong denies all allegations and charges. His statement makes the point about the justice department's dropped case and characteristically flames USADA with a flourish:
These are the very same charges and the same witnesses that the Justice Department chose not to pursue after a two-year investigation. These charges are baseless, motivated by spite and advanced through testimony bought and paid for by promises of anonymity and immunity. Although USADA alleges a wide-ranging conspiracy extended over more than 16 years, I am the only athlete it has chosen to charge. USADA's malice, its methods, its star-chamber practices, and its decision to punish first and adjudicate later all are at odds with our ideals of fairness and fair play.
But about those 2009, 2010 samples, nothing specific – beyond his pro forma denial. So, how significant is USADA's move? Do the new charges mean Armstrong's Tour titles really are at risk?
My best guess right now: don't bet on it. First, the technology for detecting blood-doping is constantly evolving, but it seems strange that USADA has only now discovered that its samples suggest evidence of cheating. Second, samples "fully consistent with" seem to leave a fair bit of wiggle-room for scientific argument; it doesn't immediately appear to offer the kind of stone-cold proof of doping one would assume would be required to rip down those seven framed yellow jerseys from Armstrong's rec room wall.
And finally, when did we ever see Armstrong roll over and cop a plea? He has already given notice that he'll fight this round of accusations, just as he's seen off every one before. The odd thing is that with each succeeding battle against assorted doping agencies, federal investigators, judicial authorities, and former teammates who've "turned" and talked to the media, his stock retort of "vendetta" actually starts to sound less hollow. There is almost the weird effect of his gaining credibility, the longer this all goes on.
Like many others, I felt I knew all I needed to about Lance Armstrong long ago. Perhaps it's time to let him keep his Tour titles, and move along. I want clean, dope-free cycle sport now. Scrubbing obsessively at supposed stains of the past is doing nothing for that.

Striker Ruane joined Cefn Druids on loan in August 2016 until January for more first team action and made his debut against Cardiff Met on Sunday 28th August. He was recalled by Nomads in November after a good run of form for the Druids, but moved to Cefn permanently in January 2017.
He joined the Nomads in June 2015 following an impressive spell at Rhyl in the second half of the 2014-15 season, which included a goal against The Nomads in March. Ruane was part of the Warrington Town side which overturned Exeter City in the 2015 FA Cup.
Ruane made his competitive debut for The Nomads against Newtown in August 2015.
He was recalled to Gap Connah's Quay late in October 2016.

British businessman Edward Blackmore has teamed up with a Saudi prince to buy a 49% stake in French Ligue 1 side Nice that could rise to 80%.
Blackmore did not reveal the identity of his business partner, but said he is from the Saudi royal family.
"We are investing together, but not only with him," said Blackmore, who is to become a vice-president.
Ex-Newcastle forward Hatem Ben Arfa has 11 goals for Nice, who are third, 24 points behind Paris St-Germain.

Over 600 species are described described in detail, with accompanying information on habitat and a full colour photograph and organised in such as way as to make identification as easy as possible.


Javier and his crew were perfect. They were on time. Javier predicted it would take 3-5 days to resolve our problem. It only took 4!
Thank you so much to Dalton and Ryan for making a horrendous nightmare tolerable!
The entire crew was very helpful and did a great job under difficult conditions. I would definitely recommend SERVPRO Castle Rock/Parker to any business owner.
Great Service! SERVPRO of Castle Rock was very professional and made sure the job was done right from start to finish. We were very impressed with the quality of work. Hopefully we won't have this problem again, but if we do we know whom to call. Thanks!
I appreciate the crew's promptness, diligence to their task, the clean up of the mess afterwards, and their courtesy. I was impressed. They were good representatives for SERVPRO and I would recommend them with no hesitation.
Andrew was great throughout our/the process. He and Javier were always courteous, professional and on time.


FCP Studio, are the wheels about to fall off?
I am wondering if Mountain Lion is the last Apple OS that will work with Final Cut legacy? As it stands now, FCS 3 is really the only legacy software it plays with (yes I know there is a byzantine work around involving loading Rosetta from a Snow Leopard disc to force FCS 2 to go through its paces on OSX 8).
I am guessing we have a year or two at most if one wants to ever upgrade their hardware. Apple would like to kill off FC legacy once and for all, is my gut feeling. They are doing the same with Snow Leopard.
I have my current imac locked into Snow Leopard -- and I have a feeling there are a lot like me. However, when I looked at the new Aperture download, I see it only works in Lion or Mountain Lion. Also, the new Adobe CC programs won't work in Snow Leopard.
So how much longer will guys like me be able to cling to the past (I guess until my current imac blows up, though I am hoping that it will remain useable for several more years even though I plan to purchase a new computer in a few months)?
Re: FCP Studio, are the wheels about to fall off?
[Clint Wardlow] "I am wondering if Mountain Lion is the last Apple OS that will work with Final Cut legacy?"
It could be that FCP7 will remain viable for many years to come.
[Clint Wardlow] "It could be that FCP7 will remain viable for many years to come."
Probably not. Apple has fully deprecated the whole of the old QuickTime C and QTKit frameworks in Mavericks, and FCP7 relies heavily on those. They might be there in Mojave or Tahoe or Catalina (or whatever Cali nickname comes after Mavericks), but betting on them being there after Mavericks isn't a good wager.
Just anecdotally, Last Friday I got a call from a client asking for the audio track from a spot from about 14 months ago. Thinking I would have to de-archive and re-install 7, load the project, and export the track, I was depressed about what I figured would be a good half day of client service necessitated grief.
I went looking for it in my Disk Librian archive and realized I'd actually done it in X!!!
Mounted the archive drive and BAM -the project loaded up and I had the job up and done in 2 minutes.
The point is NOT that this isn't just as possible with any other NLE. It surely is.
The point is that the longer you hang onto a system you know is dying, the more you delay starting to build a dependable new system for the future.
[Clint Wardlow] "FCP Studio, are the wheels about to fall off?"
Traditionally, Apple won't allow you to install older OSes on new machines, but they will, however, boot older OSes from external disks.
Keep a disk image around that has a clean OS install (Snow Leopard or Lion, ML if you're feeling lucky) with FCS3.
With the new MacPro, though, this presents a significant challenge as some programs might puke at the dual GPU, but this remains to be seen.
Was about to buy latest OS to upgrade from Snow Leopard - so I take it FC P 7.0.3/Studio 3 actually does work no problem on Mountain Lion then?
"...so I take it FC P 7.0.3/Studio 3 actually does work no problem on Mountain Lion then?"
I have a MBP Retina running Mountain Lion and FCP7 works, but barely. It is very slow. It's as if the entire program was being emulated. I would be careful when upgrading.
FCP 7.0.3 works perfectly fine with no difference in speed or slow down on a 15" MacBook Pro Quad 2.4 and a 2008 8-Core 2.8 Mac Pro both running 10.8.4. The Mac Pro has a Kona 3 and it still works fine.
[Jeremy Garchow] "but they will, however, boot older OSes from external disks."
Are you sure about that? My two Macbook Pros are still on 10.6.8 (and can that way) and will be there as long as I can get away with it. That would be great if it is true in case we pick up a newer MBP and need to run Snow Leopard for CS4 or something similar.
I know this doesn't apply to the newer OS's and a PPC. If it did, it would make life much easier for me until I've got the dough to upgrade my boys Dual G5 to an Intel machine. That Dual G5 is still a good machine for some things (Logic Pro), but I can't go past 10.5.8 with it, and my oldest son (10) is getting into programming, Motion 5, and 3D graphics, but can't do much of it in Leopard. Until we can afford a computer upgrade, I put Mountain Lion on an external drive in a Voyager Drive Dock and when my wife or I are not using our MB Pros, he can get in and play around with these programs that don't run in Leopard. Not ideal, but works.
[Dave Gage] "Are you sure about that? My two Macbook Pros are still on 10.6.8 (and can that way) and will be there as long as I can get away with it."
What year are your MacBook Pros? Did they originally come installed with Lion? (Late 2011 and onwards).
[Gary Huff] "What year are your MacBook Pros?"
1. I have an early 2011 17" i7 that did ship with Snow Leopard.
2. My wife has my older 2009 MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.53 15". I believe this originally shipped with Leopard.
[Gary Huff] "Did they originally come installed with Lion? (Late 2011 and onwards)."
I am actually considering picking up another 17" Quad-Core i7 if I can swing it and they are still available as a refurb in the Apple Store later this year. The 17" size is easier for me to see than the 15" models and I really like the upgradeability and portability of it. With 16GB RAM and 2 internal drives, it's plenty fast for what I do. I'm disappointed the 15" retina displays are not upgradeable except for the hard drive or I would consider one of them for the next MBP upgrade.
[Dave Gage] "1. I have an early 2011 17" i7 that did ship with Snow Leopard.
2. My wife has my older 2009 MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.53 15". I believe this originally shipped with Leopard."
That's why you can still boot Snow Leopard. I think the idea in question was installing Snow Leopard on a Mac that originally came installed with either Lion or Mountain Lion.
I have the same Mac you do (17" Early 2011) and I've easily gone back and forth between Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion (though settled on ML...working very well for me).
[Gary Huff] "hat's why you can still boot Snow Leopard. I think the idea in question was installing Snow Leopard on a Mac that originally came installed with either Lion or Mountain Lion."
You can't, at least in my experience, install older software on to newer machine from the install disks.
However, if you have an older disk that has an older OS on it, you can BOOT the mac from that disk.
It is a good idea to do a clean install on Snow Leopard or whatever you want and FCS3, then make a disk image of that.
This way you can reimage any disk at any time and have a bootable working disk from which to work off of.
[Gary Huff] "That's why you can still boot Snow Leopard. I think the idea in question was installing Snow Leopard on a Mac that originally came installed with either Lion or Mountain Lion."
Yes, that is indeed the question. In theory then, I may be able to boot from an external drive with Leopard on it (or not). I think I have one that I can try later. I doubt it, but I will try.
It would be nice to know though that if I picked up a Retina 15" down the road that ships with ML (or a refurb that originally shipped with Lion) I could still occasionally boot into 10.6.8 if needed.
Gary, I think I'll start another thread now so I don't keep veering away from this subject, but as I mentioned in a post yesterday, I'm considering picking up a second 2011 17" MBP while they are still available in the Apple Refurb store. I haven't been as happy with a computer since my old G3 Pismo, which was rock solid. Until Apple comes out with a new line of MBPs with similar specs to the coming Mac Pro, I believe this 2011 17" is plenty laptop computer for what I do for at least another couple of years.
[Dave Gage] "Are you sure about that?"
I'm not 100% sure of everything, but every new Mac that I have worked with can boot older OSes.
You jsut can't install the OS directly from install disks or downloads.
The MacOS has been pretty solid in this regard.
The new MacPro does stand to change that, though, along with Mavericks.
I'm not 100% sure of everything, but every new Mac that I have worked with can boot older OSes."
I think the reason I questioned the ability to run an older OS even via an external drive is that I believe one of the local Apple Store or 800 number Geniuses told me it wasn't possible back when I bought my first MBP. You'd think I'd know by now not to listen to them. Except for under warranty repair work, I won't even go into an Apple Store any more, at least not when I have a question or problem. I do buy from the online Apple Store though when there is a good deal on a refurb as I did with my last two MBPs.
I have an entire EOL package frozen: MBP 17" (last model before Thunderbolt), Snow Leopard and FCS3. It seems to be a sweet spot for FCP7, and I use it for the dozens of old FCP7 (and 6) projects that I often use.
But I am very careful about any updates to anything, and try to avoid ANY Apple updates for any reason.
I recall a couple years back when a ProApps update came thru, mostly to affect Logic. But the new frameworks files installed suddenly made DVDStudio Pro break (another obsolete app & format, right?). I had to wade into Time Machine and do a swap with the previous version files.
A subsequent ProApps update worked fine -- but it scared me off touching anything on the machine.
Just talk to the video pros who cannot play old tape formats, or for that matter early Mac adopters who have a stack of floppies populated with old Word, MacWrite, FileMaker and other docs that are a nightmare to access.
But I am very careful about any updates to anything, and try to avoid ANY Apple updates for any reason."
I too have been burned numerous times doing upgrades that I didn't really need for new functionality, but instead was just "trying to stay current".
Back in the G5 days, I had a webcam and was running OS 10.4.8 which we used all the time with my toddlers to iChat with the grandparents. I foolishly upgraded to 10.4.9 (just to stay current), and lost the ability to use the webcam and have my kids iChat. I waited patiently for 10.4.10 to come out months later and "fix" it. Sadly, it didn't. I had to wait until 10.4.11 more months later to finally be able to iChat again. I think it was at that point that I began always turning off all auto-updates from all manufacturers.
Some people never learn... A month ago, I again foolishly updated my install of MS Office that was working fine. Now, when I quit Word and Excel, I get an error that the app "quit unexpectedly". It works, but still.
[Dave Gage] "Some people never learn..."
Count me as one of those. I "stay current" often, and have yet to be burned like that. Either development has gotten better (though I did wait almost a year to move up to Mountain Lion) or I'm simply living on borrowed time!
[Douglas K. Dempsey] "Just talk to the video pros who cannot play old tape formats, or for that matter early Mac adopters who have a stack of floppies populated with old Word, MacWrite, FileMaker and other docs that are a nightmare to access."
Those situations kill me, because I always intend to boot those up and get them into newer formats...some day.

He now provides training designed to pass on this expertise about what actually works in the field, along with practical examples to make the information entertaining and memorable.
Many wonder how a parent could ever forget a child in the car. As a social worker and grandparent I provide a lot of transportion for children. I have often worried that I might forget and leave a child in the car.
People in my age bracket say this never happened years ago. That may be, but years ago many children rode in the front without a car seat. It was not only harder to forget a child, but in the cases when it did happen the child could open the door or roll down a window. That is not the case today.
So why do we forgot? Distraction is one reason.
We often talk about multi-tasking as if it is a good thing. It is not. We need to train ourselves to focus on the task at hand. When transporting a child the task at hand is taking care of them.
It is easy to get distracted and forget. In this day and age of cell phones it is even easier. Getting a call as you pull into a parking space, with a quiet child in the car, increases the possibility of forgetting a child.
Here are some easy things a care provider can do to help prevent this.
Always keep something in the back seat you have to take with you to do your daily routines. This could be a good place for your cell phone.
Put something on the passenger seat as a reminder that you have a backseat passenger. A child's toy is a good suggestion.
Get into the habit of always checking the back seat before locking your car. Don't just click the remote, look before you click.
There is a meme which makes the regular rounds showing a mother hitting a child. Then it asks the question if parents should be allowed to spank their child.
Spanking is not effective as a discipline tool. In fact the opposite is true.
Many studies show the long term negative effects of spanking. But, because spanking has the short term effect of controlling behavior these are ignored.
Hitting a child is not right.
There are many good parenting tools. All good ones are built on the premise that children are to be loved, respected, and nurtured.
Often I have had parents ask "what can I do to them when they don't obey". The question should be what can I do for them.
Too often parents confuse discipline with punishment. Nurturing discipline instills life long values in the child. The child gains a sense of who they are while teaching constraints. It slowly teaches them how to handle life.
Discipline, coupled with nurturing love, lets children know they are important to you.
It also creates happy, successful children.
Isn't that what parents want for their children?

World War II veteran remembers time as B-17 navigator, tours bomber at Naples Airport

Empty beds.
That's what retired 1st Lt. Robert Naum, a B-17 navigator for the U.S. Army's 8th Air Force, remembers most about his time in World War II, returning from missions to see the empty beds of his friends and fellow airmen who would never come home.
Naum was born in 1923 and grew up on a 200-acre farm outside of Rochester, New York. Like many young men, he decided to enlist in the U.S. Army after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. He was 20 years old.
"A bunch of us young people got very upset about that and decided that, 'Hey, we got to get even with these guys,' " Naum said. "So we wanted to sign up and join and go out and teach them a lesson."

The 95-year-old veteran got up close and personal with a B-17 Flying Fortress for the first time in 74 years at the Naples Airport on Friday. The B-17 is one of the three WWII planes in Naples this weekend as part of the Collings Foundation's Wings of Freedom tour. The tour starts and ends in Florida each year, traveling to more than 100 cities across the country.
Naum walked around the aircraft pointing out its features, like its multiple machine gun mounts and four engines, which helped the plane remain airborne even after taking heavy hits.

"One time we lost two (engines) and the third on landing," he said. "But we were fine."
A new feature, Naum noted, was the ladder propped up near the door to allow visitors to glimpse inside the aircraft.
"We never had a ladder; you used to just have to pull yourself up. I don't think I could do that today, though," he said with a laugh.

When Naum tried to enlist in 1941, he failed his first physical exam due to problems with his depth perception, but after eating a lot of carrots to improve his eyesight — "I turned orange," he said — Naum passed a second exam three months later.

Although Naum's eyesight was good enough to get him through the door, it wasn't good enough for him to become a pilot like he wanted, so instead he became a B-17 Flying Fortress navigator.
After graduating from flight school in 1944, Naum married his wife, Ruth. He was deployed to the Royal Air Force's Grafton Underwood base in Northamptonshire, England, just two days after their wedding.
Naum flew 29 missions focused on destroying German ball bearing factories and submarines. He vividly remembers each mission and the trauma that accompanied them.
"You could see the other planes being shot out of the sky or blown up in pieces. Sometimes you'd see the people flying through the air with arms and legs and so forth in different places."
Robert Naum, U.S. Army's Eighth Air Force
"You could see the other planes being shot out of the sky or blown up in pieces. Many of them, their wings would be off and they'd careen down to earth," he said. "Sometimes you'd see parachutes come out, and sometimes not. Sometimes you'd see the people flying through the air with arms and legs and so forth in different places."
Even worse, though, was once they were back on the ground and in the barracks.
"Then you'd see the empty beds and you'd know that these were your friends that the night before you played cards with or drank with or whatever and they were no longer there," Naum said.
"We really fought a war of attrition. We just had more people and planes than the Germans did, I think."
Naum returned home in 1945 to his wife and infant son, who was born nine months after their wedding. Their family eventually grew to include four children, six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Naum, a widower, was supposed to fly on the B-17 on its route Thursday from Boca Raton to Naples, but a storm kept the mission grounded. It would have been the first time Naum flew in a B-17 since 1945.
He's hoping he'll have the opportunity to fly next year when the planes come back into town, but joked that he'll do it only if they pay him the same amount the Army did.
About $2 a day.

Based on the manga of the same name by Junji Ito, this surreal apocalyptic horror is brought to the screen by Takayuki Hirao and is a fantastic, bizarre, grotesque anime about mutated fish that arrive on land complete with metallic pincer like legs and a deadly disease.
Kaori on holiday with two friends in Okinawa encounters the fish and a shark in the summer house they are staying in. After losing touch with her boyfriend, heads back to Tokyo to find him. Things are much worse in Tokyo though, the death stench and bacteria in the air ever increasing and the nightmare creatures evolving into far worse.
I hadn't really known what to expect from a horror anime, and I wasn't familiar with either the director or the original writer's work before, but really made an impression and lingered long after the credits have rolled. Definitely not for children to view, it has hints of the idea of tentacle erotica (something that pre-dates modern Manga) and yet still maintains a strong Eco message about how we reap our own destiny.
The characters were simply portrayed, likeable Kaori, sexually active Erika and the average Aki, all of whose dynamic as friends changes and fractures as the crisis deepens. This is something that is also part of the horror in my opinion, that friendship might not last a crisis and how easily positions can juxtapose and change.
If you want to see something a bit different I really do recommend this film. I would certainly be keen to see more of Junji Ito's work on the big screen in future.

This couple sure do know how to conquer the streets with their music and romance. Sure, the only symbol of their passion in music is the guitar they used as a prop, but we've been told that these two actually has influential backgrounds in the art. Plus, this album totally feels like a music video of two lovers walking around the streets while singing a romantic song with a slow melody and sweet lyrics. But really, look at how in love Barbra and Tom are. Congratulations you two!
We met in college, fell very quickly in love and have been kickin' it together ever since!
We're a good match because our personality traits complement each other so well. While we have very opposite features, we work extremely well together as a team and have a lot of fun doing it!
Tom proposed after 4 years of dating at the Southeast Lighthouse on Block Island (our favorite place) after a truly magical day he planned for me. Best day ever!
We're so excited to begin this next chapter of our lives. We've been together for 6 years so we didn't expect marriage to feel as different as it does. It's a truly remarkable and accomplished feeling to be starting a life, and one day family, with someone you've worked so hard with to build such a beautiful foundation. Not to mention your BFF.
One of the first movies we ever watched together was Walk The Line and immediately felt a connection to Johnny & June. We based our shoot after stills from that movie.
Honestly, our photographer ended up being from Boston so we used it as an excuse to take a trip out there to take our photos. It was early August and such a gorgeous day in the city. We were trying to find romantic back alleys and grassy areas. Beacon Hill and the Charles River worked out really well.
The movie definitely inspired our outfits! Overall, we wanted to look and feel natural.
Not really! Our engagement shoot really had nothing to do with the theme of our wedding – besides me wearing white!
Our photographer really made us feel comfortable. And we also didn't take a ton of 'posed' photos – we wanted to capture the candid moments.
Our lovely bride shared with us a comprehensive rehash of the things that happened before and during her wedding and we didn't want it to go to waste (really informative!) so you can Click here to access the blog feature of their wedding day as you read through her answers to our wedding questions.
We had a long engagement – a little over 2 years, which we chose to do for financial reasons. At first we thought it was the best decision – but in the end it felt a little too long! You have too much time to make decisions and then change your mind! At least when you're planning with a tight timeframe, you make a decision and you have to stick to it!
The best advice we received is that nobody cares about your wedding as much as you. And that's not to sound negative! But it keeps you in perspective. You tend to get so caught up in the planning and your 'dream day' (society doesn't help that pressure either) and you sometimes forget that your friends, family, loved ones all have their own important things going on as well! Although it feels like it, your wedding is not the center of the universe. We tried to keep steady heads on our shoulders.
Our best tip would be to ignore the 'rules.' Weddings today are much different than weddings of the past. You can do anything you want. Every aspect of our wedding was personalized to reflect us as a couple from our 4-tier cheese wheel wedding cake (we're obsessed with cheese) to our ceremony, which we completely wrote ourselves and was performed by my brother. Your guests will attend a zillion weddings in their lifetime. They're coming to yours, not to just attend another cookie cutter wedding, but to celebrate what you've become as a couple. Let yours reflect you!
The challenges we faced were abundant! Especially having so much time to plan – it seemed there were constant hurdles. But the biggest was trying to make every family member, friend, loved one happy. We're both people who like to please and would give up a lot to make another person happy which is how we approached planning at the beginning- but eventually became really frustrated. It's simply impossible. Your wedding is about the two of you. Literally everyone is going to throw in their two cents and opinion. Just remember to stay grounded and always make the decision based on what's important to you and your fiancee.
again, so that's why we went with what we did. It was relatively inexpensive, but made a huge impact.
The actual biggest expense was the venue which was a country estate that we rented for the weekend where guests could stay and everything from the rehearsal dinner to brunch took place. But the biggest splurge was my custom wedding dress (thanks Aunt Paula)!
We invited 175 guests and had about 110 attend.
We were just really picky about who we invited. We tried to only invite guests who had a personal relationship with BOTH of us. Even the friends our parents invited were people that we knew very well as a couple. We got strangely protective over the intimate nature of our ceremony and didn't want people there we didn't really know.
That's a loaded question! To walk down the aisle, we used an original wedding song my father wrote for him and my mother 32 years ago. That was our Something Borrowed. Then, as a part of our ceremony, we heard for the first time the original wedding song my father wrote for Tom and I. That was our Something New. Our recessional was "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes – a song we've loved throughout our relationship.
Reciting our own written vows to each other. Hands down, the BEST part of the day!
There are two reasons to do DIY projects: 1. To save money and 2. To feel closer to your wedding by building pieces of it yourself and with loved ones. But know when to not kill yourself and just pay for something! We did a TON of DIY projects for our wedding, and some took more time, effort, caused more stress and surprisingly cost more money than worth it. And then some others were beyond worth it and rewarding. It's a balance! They can get really overwhelming – especially with weddings now being SO personalized and unique – you feel a ton of pressure! You'll want to spend money on a bunch of random things that don't mean that much at the end of the day. Keep your eye on the prize (your spouse to be)!
The whole ceremony was a highlight. The highlights of the reception were seeing the food and dinner we designed come to life, the song my parents, Tom and his best men performed together, and hugging all of our guests for the first time as husband and wife!
No specific theme. But the whole wedding included highlights of Italian/French countryside living that we admire.
The written vows and the uniqueness of the ceremony in general got the biggest reaction from our guests. We're a couple that is often seen as the comic relief, so it was nice to show how seriously we take our relationship and how hard we've worked for it to our guests.

Petronas seeks to balance portfolio through overseas oil expansion prospects
Malaysian oil and gas firm Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) continues to seek out opportunities to expand its presence in other parts of the world as it looks to balance its output portfolio, which is currently at 70% gas and 30% oil, according to Datuk Mohd Anuar Taib, executive vice-president and chief executive officer for Upstream.
The company wants to balance the portfolio better by positioning itself in the oil province, with the company recently announcing going into oil exploration blocks in Mexico. Petronas currently has three exploration blocks in Mexico, Mohd Anuar said.
He said part of the Gulf of Mexico in the US territory had always been a prolific deepwater oil production area.
"Mexico only recently opened its territory in the Gulf to foreign investors. We believed in those locations in deciding to bid and feel very thankful for getting three blocks," he added.
Mohd Anuar said apart from Mexico, the company also planned to expand its presence in the Middle East, with its return to Iran in the study phase.
The company has maintained a presence in Iraq from 2010. As of 2016, Petronas upstream had entered 23 countries globally, with 216 producing fields, 381 offshore platforms and 21 floating facilities.
Pointing to the 2015 oil price crash as the start of a new challenging phase for the global oil and gas industry, Mohd Anuar said it would not deter Petronas from expanding its overseas presence.

• 6/18/2018: Janos Gereben in SFCV:
Berkeley Chorus Makes a Gift of St. Paul Oratorio
"Most community choruses without auditions don't publicize that fact, which may be considered a potential handicap to excellence. Berkeley Community Chorus & Orchestra — nothing like most such organizations in many ways — makes a virtue of necessity: "The philosophy of the BCCO is that there is no person who cannot express himself or herself to the highest musical standards in a chorus. "Accordingly, auditions are not required for membership in the chorus. The membership is marked by hard work and collegiality which lead to the chorus' unified resonant timbre and brightness."
• 1/2/2018: Janos Gereben in SFCV:
Great Music From (and for) the Berkeley Community
"As it always does, the Berkeley Community Chorus and Orchestra is putting together an ambitious and inviting program, to be presented in free concerts to the community. The year's first musical adventure from BCCO will be heard in UC Berkeley's Hertz Hall at 8 p.m. Jan. 5, then at 3 p.m. matinees on Jan. 6 and 7."
Dvořák Masterpiece Featured in Berkeley Community Chorus & Orchestra Concerts
"Antonín Dvořák's Stabat Mater is "One of the Most Powerful Declarations of Faith in Musical History." It is on the next program of the Berkeley Community Chorus & Orchestra (BCCO), June 2–4 in UC Berkeley's Hertz Hall. As is usual for BCCO, admission is free, donations are accepted."
• 1/9/2017: James Roy MacBean in The Berkeley Daily Planet:
Berkeley CCO presents Requiems by Mozart and Cherubini
"Berkeley Community Chorus and Orchestra presented three concerts over the weekend of January 6-8 at Hertz Hall. Featured were Mozart's famous Requiem and the less well-known but highly acclaimed Requiem in C minor by Luigi Cherubini. BCCO's Music Director Ming Luke conducted the Mozart Requiem at the Saturday concert I attended, while Assistant Conductor Eric Choate led the Cherubini Requiem."

Harmonious Memories: The Berkeley Community Chorus and Orchestra Turns 50
"Fifty years after its founding as a program of the Berkeley Adult School, the Berkeley Community Chorus and Orchestra (BCCO, for short) is going stronger than ever by remaining true to its two founding principles: amateurs only, and no auditions. Membership has zoomed from 20 people to 220, and there would be even more if BCCO could find a larger rehearsal space. And the quality of the musicianship has never been higher."
•5/26/2016: Andrew Gilbert in Berkeleyside:
Raising voices for 50 years with the Berkeley Community Chorus and Orchestra
"The competition for Berkeley's most Berkeley organization is stiff, but you'll be hard pressed to find an institution that embodies the city's best impulses more fully than the Berkeley Community Chorus and Orchestra. Radically egalitarian, creatively ambitious, and committed to offering free performances, the BCCO brings together some 220 singers, many of whom have little or no musical training."

• 6/19/2014: James Roy MacBean, in The Berkeley Daily Planet:"On Friday, June 13, 2014, the Berkeley Community Chorus & Orchestra gave the first of three performances of Felix "Mendelssohn's oratorio Elijah at Hertz Hall on the UC Berkeley campus. … Conductor Ming Luke had four excellent soloists singing the lead parts. … The huge chorus effectively handled the shifting moods of the people of Israel, as they initially pleaded with God to end a drought, then expressed their anger and dismay when God seemed unwilling or unable to hear their plea; then became bloodthirsty in a frenzied response to Elijah's orders to kill all the prophets of Baal; then rejoiced when rains came; later were easily swayed by Jezebel's exhortation to kill Elijah as a false prophet; then became awestruck when God sent earthquakes, thunder-storms, and fire to show his displeasure at Elijah's forced exile and, finally, rejoiced at Elijah's apotheosis in the oratorio's culminating fugue, "And then shall your light break forth."

Poinsettias are the most common type of flower to display around the holiday season. Even when you don't have very much holiday decor, these flowers alone can really help dress the place up. And the best part is that they come in all sorts of different shades — from burgundy red and bright orange to soft pink and creamy white. While poinsettias already look stunning no matter what you do with them, displaying them differently is a great way to emphasize your love for the holidays. Here are a few great ideas to take a look at.
Got a pair of old boots lying around? Or how about some skates? Talk about a super unique way to display flowers! Check out these adorable examples below that were featured on HGTV Gardens.
Poinsettias are typically sold in medium or large planters, so it's not as common to see a single flower displayed somewhere around a home. If you're fine with snipping a few individual flowers off, you can try displaying them in a way that elongates their stems at the same time. These poinsettias from Holiday with Matthew Mead have their stems hidden by some twigs tied together, while BHG shows how to display them with some delicate glass vases.
HGTV Gardens featured this clever idea of reusing old wine bottles for displaying poinsettias.
Taking unique flower display ideas to a new level, Holiday with Matthew Mead shows how you can place a single poinsettia flower in an old plastic soap dispenser attached to a wall.
As another option, you can take multiple flowers placed in individual glasses of water and display them on a tiered tray. What a great centerpiece idea!
Speaking of centerpieces, House Beautiful shows an example that's somewhat similar to the last idea — but without the tiered tray. Simply place individual poinsettia flowers in small glasses of water and scatter them throughout the center of the table.
Proven Winners shows how you can combine poinsettias and candlesticks for a beautiful, candlelit holiday dinner!
For a rustic tablescape look, take a wooden flower box and use it to display your poinsettias in the middle of the table, like this fantastic example from New House, New Home, New Life.
You can certainly do some interesting DIY projects with poinsettias, although you may want to opt for fake flowers if they're not going to get any access to soil and water. This wreath, for example (again from Holiday with Matthew Mead), would make a great holiday craft project.
If you do decide to go for fake flowers, you have more flexibility with the planters. Petals has an arrangement in a glass vase filled with beautiful Christmas ball ornaments.
For those who want to stick with the real thing, you could try dressing up some mason jars filled with water, like this simple little DIY example from Country Living that has some red bells tied around it.
Did you ever think you could turn a real poinsettia flower into a Christmas ornament? FP Conservatory did it with these assorted balls of ferns, peperomia, and of course poinsettia.
If you have kids, then they may really love this next idea from Club Chica Circle. Turn a couple of regular round planters into Santa's pants! The belt and buckle both put the finishing touch on them and hold the two pant legs together.
The fireplace is one of the main areas of a home that often gets decorated for the holidays — and you can get pretty creative with incorporating poinsettias in there too. Nest Full of Eggs features a very rustic display box of poinsettias on the mantel, while Savvy Seasons simply places them in big wicker baskets beneath a side table right next to the fireplace.
What's the holidays without some poinsettias? You can't really go wrong when you bring these gorgeous flowers into your home around this special time of year.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, September 12, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ — John Marshall Professor Daryl Lim, Director of the Center for Intellectual Property, Information & Privacy Law, has been awarded the 2019 Thomas Edison Innovation Fellowship from the Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property (CPIP) at the George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School.
The Edison Fellowship is an invitation-only fellowship open to non-resident academic scholars who study innovation or specifically patent law and policy. It is one of George Mason's centerpiece efforts in promoting rigorous, data-driven, high-quality scholarship on innovation policy and intellectual property.
The fellowship consists of a series of invitation-only conferences spread over the course of a year at which Edison Fellows study and discuss a structured curriculum, engage in roundtable discussions with expert senior scholars and industry representatives, and collaborate on their research and early drafts. The fellowship culminates in the production of substantial academic research papers that are published in law journals or other peer-reviewed academic journals such as the Yale Law Journal, Boston College Law Review, Connecticut Law Review, and others.
