The term "impact investing" was coined just a few short years ago with the formation of the Global Impact Investing Network. Millennials are playing an important role in the growth of the impact investing industry, and increasingly more 20- and 30-year olds are looking for careers in the field. However, many young professionals looking to start their careers or transition into the impact investing field are discouraged by the limited number of opportunities.
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), which have a long history of investing in hard to reach, typically low-income communities, seem to be overlooked by these same folks seeking jobs in the impact investing industry. One explanation could be a narrow interpretation of impact investing reserved for a small number of private equity organizations that are primarily investing in emerging markets. For those who are truly interested in using finance as a tool to create social value, working for a CDFI represents an opportunity to make an immediate impact, learn financial skills from experienced professionals in a proven industry, and even rise in the ranks.
A CDFI—as certified by the CDFI Fund within the U.S. Treasury—is a financing entity whose primary mission is to promote community development. At least 60 percent of a CDFI's activities must provide financial products and services to a "Target Market," defined as a region where the poverty rate is at least 20 percent, unemployment rate is 1.5 times the national average, and/or there is lack of adequate access to capital and denial of credit. CDFIs are some of the earliest impact investing entities — the financing they provide in historically underserved areas is a prime example of successful double bottom line investing.
CDFIs operating in the United States serve the diverse financing needs of many sectors, including affordable housing, microenterprise, small and growing businesses, education (e.g. charter schools) and health care (e.g. Federally Qualified Health care Centers). While impact is inherent to the definition of CDFIs, the range of issues they address is virtually limitless, providing the opportunity for CDFI professionals to specialize in the specific cause that inspires them most.
At Calvert Foundation, I am fortunate to have some of the best role models in the industry. Lisa Hall, President and CEO, has over 23 years of investing experience, including six at Calvert Foundation as chief lending officer. Eliza Erikson, former chief lending officer at Calvert Foundation, is currently leading the Latin American investment strategy for Omidyar Network. Like Erikson, many successful professionals in the CDFI industry are moving from CDFIs to other impact investing organizations because their experience is highly valuable in other mission-aligned entities. As a woman, I am encouraged by the many knowledgeable female leaders in the industry. Having transitioned from a job on Wall Street, I find the CDFI industry equally rigorous, but with a culture that reflects the important social goals we aim to achieve.
The opportunity for young professionals to rise in the ranks of CDFIs coincides with a real need. Effective succession planning and an infusion of new talent are critical, especially for the many CDFIs who have had the same leaders since their founding. As the market evolves, innovative thinkers are needed to find ways to bring safe financial services to low income families. The Lend for America Fellowship is one example of an initiative created to meet the demand for a new wave of talented leadership in the near term. The program places undergraduate candidates with CDFIs for summer internships, anticipating that they launch local CDFIs when they return to their campuses. Last year, which was the second year of the program, more 200 applications were received for six spots. These young people seem to be catching on to the meaningful career opportunities CDFIs present.
If you are exploring a career in impact investing, I highly recommend working for a CDFI. Not only will you be "on the ground" and able to see the impact of your work first hand, you will also learn essential financial skills from respected managers and leaders in the field with the opportunity to build a meaningful, successful career. Or, you could start your own CDFI like Rohan Matthew who, at the age of 20, launched The Intersect Fund. In short, if you are interested in a career in impact investing, the CDFI industry offers the impact, the leadership, and the challenge alongside the opportunity to help those in need in local communities.

I started the coaching sessions with Diana in January 2018 and I was impressed by her passion, knowledge and integrity.
I am a Portuguese citizen trying to build my career in London and I met Diana while she was practicing her coaching sessions. She explained clearly what coaching is and how I would benefit from the coaching sessions.
As a client, Diana helped me gain perspective, get clear objectives and take steps to move both myself and my business forward.
She helped me to set up specific goals like: tailoring my CV according to job requirements; searching for specific jobs; preparing for interviews; dealing with my emotions during the interview process; challenging myself and adapting to different cultures; and relaunching my project "Antena Lusa", which is an online radio station targeted at the Portuguese community based in the UK.
Taking coaching sessions with Diana has been a great decision; she's extremely empowering and every session is different to the last, always a challenge but so worth it. Her coaching helped me to find my way, design a strategy for my business and boost my energy levels. As a result, my confidence has increased greatly, and my ability to reflect on my life and goals has improved.
With patience, comprehension and mainly her own life experience, Diana knows how to drive the conversation to unleash my inner hero and find all the answers that I need.

Q: Increase heap space in Eclipse I am running Eclipse Kepler. Just downloaded it. I'm trying to get an Android application working (hich I have done in the past). But now when I run it, I get "Unable to execute dex: GC overhead limit exceeded".
I don't have an eclipse.ini file. I've looked for it, in the folder where all my eclipse stuff was extracted to. And when I go to run->run configurations, there is no arguments tab for me to tell Eclipse to use more heap space. (There is no arguments tab for Android run configurations.)
How do I fix this?
Edit: here is my config.ini file: http://textuploader.com/1j3b
Should I be worried that it looks nothing like anyone else's ini file?

You may have read in the news today that we're expanding our newborn screening program (NBS) to help detect more life-threatening conditions faster.
Currently, our state laboratory screens for 28 metabolic conditions that are recommended by the March of Dimes and the American College of Medical Genetics, as well as 24 secondary metabolic conditions that can cause severe problems if not found very early in life.

You may have read in the news recently about a new effort we're launching to find ways to make pregnancy, and the months that come after it, safer for South Carolina women.
Maternal mortality is not only a tragedy for families and communities, it's also often avoidable. According to the CDC, nearly 50% of maternal deaths are preventable.
Unfortunately, between 2009 and 2012, 41 women died during childbirth or within six weeks of delivery in our state.

Despite decades of health warnings, approximately 759,000 people in South Carolina still smoke.
From a public health perspective, there's no better time to motivate South Carolinians to quit smoking than January because now is the time of year when people tend to set new health goals for themselves.

The Singing Maple Syrup Bottle With Patti Page's Voice (Cool Weird Awesome 167)
By Brady Carlson|2019-11-08T06:58:56-05:00November 8th, 2019|Categories: Cool Weird Awesome, Podcasts|Tags: chess, maple syrup, music history, Patti Page|
Patti Page, aka the "Singing Rage," was one of the biggest-selling pop singers of the 1950s. But later, she lived part-time on a farm in New Hampshire where she and her husband sold maple syrup. The bottles didn't just have her name on them; they included her voice! Plus: Skyline Chess turns the buildings in world cities into chess pieces and pits them against each other.

We'll sing your praises when you back Cool Weird Awesome on Patreon!
It's November 8th, the birthday of Patti Page, aka the "Singing Rage," and one of the biggest-selling pop singers of the 1950s.
Page could sing it all, from country songs like "Tennessee Waltz" to novelty hits like "How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?"
She sold hundreds of millions of records, appeared in movies, hosted television shows for not just one but three major networks, and she lent her voice to a singing bottle of maple syrup.
Let me explain. Page and her husband Jerry owned a farm in the community of Bath, New Hampshire. They alternated time between the farm and a place in California.
The farm had a stand of maple trees, and so they decided to start learning how to tap the trees, collect the sap and boil it down into syrup.
They started making and selling Patti Page 100% Pure Maple Syrup – and the bottles didn't just have her name on them, they had her voice, too.
The tops of the syrup bottles had little chips in them, so that when you opened them up, you'd hear the unmistakable voice of Patti Page, belting out a song she'd recorded just for syrup aficionados.
You have to think that, after that, Mrs. Butterworth wanted to book some studio time to cut her own album.
I am no great shakes when it comes to chess, but I may start spending more time with the game after the release of Skyline Chess.
The rules are the same as traditional chess, but the pieces are all buildings from the skylines of major world cities. And then can play against each other. London vs. New York. Paris vs. Dubai.
Of course, city life doesn't come cheap and neither do these sets – the luxury bronze editions of the game costs upwards of $3,800.
Maybe I could just rent a rook for a couple minutes?
And remember, if you don't remember the rules of chess, you can always – wait for it – check.

Jack Tilton Gallery
Since graduating from the University of California at San Diego in 1994, Patty Chang has been a regular on New York's performance circuit, plying her distinctive brand of '60s-style body art meets '90s riot-grrrl feminism in such venues as P.S. 122 and the Clit Club and garnering particular praise for Alter Ergo, first seen in Exit Art's 1997 showcase of emerging performance artists, "Terra Bomba."
Chang revived Alter Ergo in this debut solo show, which, along with videotapes and large-scale color photographs, included a series of live performances held in the gallery's back room. Recalling Chris Burden's durational works, Alter Ergo had Chang standing stock-still for hours at a stretch, her mouth clamped open by a piece of dental equipment and crammed with peppermint candies. A pale-pink string of saliva leaked down her starched white shirt and tailored gray suit. Chang's forced ingestion and involuntary release of sugary sweets lent a grim reality to such good-girl aphorisms as "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." The equation of her prim secretarial attire to an oppressive straitjacket was rendered similarly literal by thread that stitched her jacket's sleeves to its bodice and her pantyhosed legs to one another.
Apart from Burden, perhaps the most relevant reference point for Chang is Hannah Wilke. Like Wilke's efforts, Chang's work is characterized by its brash confrontation of female stereotypes, its attention to the metaphoric and erotic implications of foodstuffs (Wilke often worked with chocolate, chewing gum, and fortune cookies; Chang favors melons, candy, and eggs), and above all its insistence—borne out in the use of performance—that societal norms are not abstractions but the lived experience of the bodies they mark. Chang also follows Wilke's lead in the production of staged photographs (taken by David Kelley) that, while based on performances, do not have the status of direct documentation. Bruce Nauman is another obvious precedent, but Chang more fully shares Wilke's exploitation of the tension between the temporality inherent in performance and the arrested motion specific to photography for the manifestly feminist purpose of addressing the process of self-objectification—of how women produce themselves as objects to be visually consumed.
If Chang's photographs repeat the strategies and concerns of an already well-established feminist trajectory extending back to Cindy Sherman, Francesca Woodman, and to an extent even Claude Cahun, they manage to give this tradition a more current edge. Candies, 1998, the still-image corollary to Alter Ergo, shows Chang's ambiguously pried-open mouth and stiffly bound but elegantly clad body against a stark white background, resembling nothing so much as a United Colors of Benetton ad. Like that campaign, Chang's photograph plays the physical irreducibility of race off the leveling homogeneity of mass-produced fashion and converts the reality of the individual consumer's relative powerlessness into an appealingly diffuse "sex sells" brand of sadomasochism. Chang's use of highspeed film and Cibachrome prints gives the images a razor sharp, bug-trapped-in-amber resolution that both references the super-slick production values of contemporary advertising and heightens the fetishistic effects of photography.
But, as with Wilke and so many others, Chang's ironic embrace of the codes of cultural and sexual oppression, however deft, runs the perpetual risk of lapsing into a purely mimetic exercise. As Linda Nochlin observed in a recent review of the book Women in Dada, "Self-objectification and active agency are hard to juggle." That the stakes and strategies of feminine self-empowerment should remain so fundamentally unchanged after more than seventy years is another less-than-welcome instance of repetition.

This is a hard time of year for exactly why you say. Lots of changes, most of them happy/sad at the same time.
Congrats on being almost finished with the first trimester. 2nd trimester was always when I felt my best. Good memories.
Yay for you almost being through the first trimester!
Good luck on your return to school. Getting a little time away from Eddie will make your time together that much sweeter.
i've never been pregnant, or taught teenagers, but i'm pretty sure both of those things would make me puke!
happy days ahead, & even if there are bad ones, at least you can laugh! good luck to you, 2nd trimester baby, & little guy.
Ya to no more hearing about you puking!!! I kid I kid. I love you and hope that your transition back to school is smooth as peanut butter…I can make references to food now right?
Ha! Oh out of the mouths of cartoon characters.
As funny as this is (and it is SO funny) it's also so true.
Pretty much every question in that clip has been asked of me at some point in my teaching career.
I once had a kid turn in a desperate extra-credit essay while WEARING his graduation gown.
Anyway, I have to make a phone call (ha!) So I really don't have time to write anything of value about your first trimester almost being over or something like "Hooray no more hormone supplements!" or that I'll be thinking of you today while you're back to school hoping you and Eddie ease seamlessly back into your new/old routines.
Nope. No time for that.
Instead, let me just say I hope you're hanging in there and that you have a chance to eat lunch.
Good luck back at school!!
Oh my goodness, Landon constantly asks where daddy is and why didn't daddy wake him up instead. Gotta tell ya, that's great for my parenting self-esteem.
Awww. If it makes you feel any better, both of my older boys went through a HUGE Daddy phase. But then they went right back to their Mommy phase. They go back and forth.
Have a great first day back! And HOORAY for almost being done with the First Trimester!
That video is hysterical! At least your students are young and stupid. Imagine hearing that from their parents: grown, educated people. Not only is it funny because its true. Its sad because its true. All that and I'm still excited to go back. Its a sickness.

* Install [Docker Community Edition](https://www.docker.com/community-edition)
* Clone this repo
```git clone git@github.com:eliaslopezgt/austinrb-docker.git```

## Documentation
* [DockerFile builder reference](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/)
* [Get a docker hub account](https://hub.docker.com/)

## Acceptance Criteria
* As a user I want to invoke an endpoint and increment a counter stored in redis.
* This application should be served using [puma](http://puma.io/).
* This should be a rack application.

## Deliverables
* [config.ru](https://github.com/eliaslopezgt/austinrb-docker/blob/master/config.ru)

## How to run it locally
```rackup```
### Did it work?
Probably some dependencies were missing (puma, rack, redis)
### Install missing gems? probably ... not.
```
gem install rack
gem install puma
gem install redis
```
try again.
### Still missing something?
Maybe the redis server.
### Install missing services? probably ... not.
Install [redis](https://redis.io/download).

## Why not scripting it inside a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/eliaslopezgt/austinrb-docker/blob/master/Dockerfile)
```
FROM ruby:2.3.3
RUN gem install rack
RUN gem install puma
RUN gem install redis
RUN mkdir /myapp
WORKDIR /myapp
ADD . /myapp
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["rackup","-s","puma","-o","0.0.0.0","-p","80"]
```
### Push changes to docker image (optional)
To update the docker hub repository in this case I used:

```
docker login
docker push eliaslopezgtz/ruby_test
```

## How to run it with Docker
Build the Docker Image

```
docker build -t ruby_test .
```

Run the Docker Image

```
docker run -p 80:80 ruby_test
```

Go to [http://localhost](http://localhost)
The response should be something like

```
Counter:Redis not available Served from: X.X.X.X
```

### Install missing services? probably ... not.
Lets script the services instead using a docker-compose.yml file.

## Enter [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/eliaslopezgt/austinrb-docker/blob/master/docker-compose.yml)

```
version: '3'
services:

          memory: 50M
      restart_policy:
        condition: on-failure
    networks:
      - webnet
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    command: rackup -s puma -o 0.0.0.0 -p 80
  visualizer:
    image: dockersamples/visualizer:stable
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"

## Generate the local stack
```
docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml ruby_test
```
### Open the [visualizer](http://localhost:8080/)
### Delete the local stack
```
docker stack rm ruby_test
```

## Simulate the cloud
From the [Docker docs](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/part4/#create-a-cluster)

Create a couple of VMs using docker-machine, using the VirtualBox driver:

```
$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox myvm1
$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox myvm2
$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox myvm3
```

### Instruct myvm1 to become a swarm manager with

```
docker-machine ssh myvm1 "docker swarm init --advertise-addr 192.168.99.100:2377"
```

Copy this command, and send it to myvm2 via docker-machine ssh to have myvm2 join your new swarm as a worker:

```
$ docker-machine ssh myvm2 "docker swarm join \
--token <token> \
<ip>:<port>"

This node joined a swarm as a worker.
```

## Push changes to docker node manager myvm1
Everytime we update the docker-compose.yml is changed we need to update it in our nodes.

```
docker-machine scp docker-compose.yml myvm1:~
docker-machine ssh myvm1 "docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml ruby_test"
```

Open myvm1's ip [http://192.168.99.100:8080/](http://192.168.99.100:8080/)

### Remove stack from docker-machine
```
docker-machine ssh myvm1 "docker stack rm ruby_test"
```

The End? not really.

Q: Как достать сообщение в переменную vk_api Python Есть код (сам код роли не играет). И нужно например сделать команду: "отправь мне слово, которое я отправлю тебе". Бот отвечает на это сообщение: "Хорошо, слушаю."
Нужно сделать так чтобы бот занёс сообщение в переменную, а потом её выслал мне-же, но БЕЗ цикла while!!!
Если кто не понял, то смысл задачи в том, чтобы заставить бота ждать, чтобы получить сообщение, которое он ждёт. Просто я пишу уже давно бота для вк и только сейчас понял, что т.к мой бот ждёт сообщение после сообщения) "пополнить баланс" после этого он спрашивает "Введите кол-во рублей", а затем ему нужно получить это кол-во рублей, а это у меня реализовано через while, соответственно, если я ничему ему не буду присылать, пока он ждёт моего ответа, то другие не смогут общаться с ботом т.к у меня он находится в цикле.
Надеюсь, что вы поняли.


While many believe smaller is better, studies are mixed on exactly how much it can improve academic outcomes, considering the cost.
There's no universal standard for the best class size, though some states and school districts have instituted policies, particularly in lower grades. While many believe smaller is better, studies are mixed on exactly how much it can improve academic outcomes, considering the cost.
The ratio of students to teachers is at the heart of a teacher strike in the nation's second-largest school district, where tens of thousands of Los Angeles educators walked out Monday. Teachers have complained about having kids sitting on window sills or the floor of overcrowded classrooms that can push past 45 students.
He said there's no easy way to assess the impact of class size on educational outcomes over the last couple of decades in the Los Angeles Unified School District — in part because classes have been overcrowded despite a state mandate calling for an average class size of 30 students through eighth grade.
"When your class size can be increased dramatically, you lose the ability to ensure that you can do right by the students you are serving," Rogers said.
United Teachers Los Angeles is demanding the elimination of a longstanding contract clause giving the district authority over class sizes. If the district won't agree to remove the provision, union leaders say they can't trust that school officials won't ignore any deal it cuts on class sizes in the future.
Superintendent Austin Beutner has said he would like to reduce class sizes even more but the district simply doesn't have the money. He has suggested the union might consider trading other contract demands for greater reductions in class size.
Brent Smiley, a 23-year district veteran who teaches at Sherman Oaks Center For Enriched Studies, said he's had as many as 42 students in one class and that his smallest has 39.
"Struggling to keep them focused can be an impossible task," he said this week.
"The bigger the class, the more likely you are to treat kids as a big group, and you don't read papers as good, you don't read them as closely, you don't have as much attention to give to each child," Mathis said of teacher quality.
But Matthew Chingos, vice president of the Urban Institute's Center on Education Data and Policy, is skeptical of a one-size-fits-all approach. He's studied state-regulated class sizes and says that it may not be the "biggest bang for the buck" for every classroom.
That experiment, Chingos said, didn't prove its worth because there was no prior data for comparison.
Without more high-quality research, Chingos said parents and teachers both push for smaller class sizes based largely on their intuition that it's better for children. Teachers also benefit, including adding to the union ranks, he said.
"Class sizes are a political winner. No one thinks it's bad. If money grew on trees, then sure," Chingos said.

Angola's capital Luanda is a city of stark inequalities and contrasts. While it offers opportunities and wealth for the few, people in the informal musseques are effectively trapped in poverty through limited income opportunities and material deficiencies; disempowerment in relation to institutions of the state and society; and vulnerability to adverse shocks such as sudden loss of emloyment, disease and crime.

Julie Graham talks facing the Cybermen!
In the far future, the Doctor and friends face a brutal battle, across the farthest reaches of space, to protect the last of the human race against the deadly Cybermen in the start of the epic finale of Series 12!
Julie Graham, who plays Ravio, one of the last of the human race, talks about joining Series 12 and facing a new breed of Cybermen!
What was it like being part of Doctor Who?
It was like a dream come true. I've always been a huge fan so it was like being a kid in a sweet shop, I loved it. If you're a fan of anything, when you get to be in the show then it's always a thrill. It's completely unique, there's nothing else like it. But it also feels so familiar, because you've grown up with it, so it's sort of like an old friend.
Were you a fan?
Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker were my Doctors when I was growing up, probably more Tom. Then I drifted away from it so I didn't watch it for a long time. Then when Russell rebooted it I watched it immediately. Since then I've been a fan. And then I had children and my children loved it, so it's been a big part of our household. It really is one of the few things you can sit down with young kids and watch and get something out of it as an adult as well.
What can you tell us about your character?
She is one of the last human beings in the universe. Her planet's been ravaged by Cybermen and they've been wiped out so there's very few humans left. So, they're this bunch of survivors who are just trying to stay alive and keep each other alive. They're very self-sufficient, they're tough, they look out for each other like a little family. I think of them as a bunch of deer being picked off! They're very nervous and always looking over their shoulders.
What was it like playing an action hero?
I love that description of an action hero! Everybody wants to be one, let's face it. They are very brave… Of course, to have survived everything they've been through they have to be pretty special. But at the same time, they're what makes humans human. They love and they're compassionate and things like friendship and loyalty are important to them. But they're very tough and brave.
Did you get to do your own stunts?
Did you get to do your own stunts
Yeah, I got to do quite a lot of them - mostly running! There's lots of running and jumping and leaping, which was great fun. And then of course there's lots of toys and buttons you get to play with!
The sets are amazing. You walk onto them and it does the job for you because they're so meticulous and brilliant and inventive - it's a superb design team. You can't help but want to push every button and pull all the leavers! It propels you straight back into childhood, but then that's the best part of being an actor.
What was it like working with the regular cast?
It was wonderful. Jodie is fantastic. I was a huge fan of her from the last series. She was so brilliant and a breath of fresh air. She's also a brilliant human being - she's so lovely, and fun and dedicated and hardworking and so welcoming. Her and the whole team welcome you with open arms, they're so warm and lovely, it's fantastic. It can be hard walking onto a well-established show, but we really did feel so welcome and I loved every single one of them.
What was it like meeting the iconic Cybermen?
When I was growing up the Daleks were the thing that really scared me, they absolutely frightened the life out of me. Then when I was watching it with my children when they were 8, 9, 10 years old, the ones they were frightened of were the Cybermen. They were absolutely terrified of them!
I have to say, I find them pretty frightening myself. There's something about that robotic evil… Then when you see them in the flesh, they're absolutely petrifying! So I was over the moon to work with them.
There were scenes where we were having to run away from them and it's not hard to imagine being chased by a Cyberman, it's absolutely terrifying. It makes you run five times faster than you normally would.
How would you describe your episode in three words?
Thrilling, terrifying and heroic.
Part One of the epic series finale, Ascension of the Cybermen, is coming this Sunday 23rd February at 6:50pm on BBC One, or on BBC America at 8pm ET, 7pm CT.

Welcome to the New Jersey Devils forums
SI Interview with Mike "Doc" Emrick
By ATLL765,
June 17, 2014 in Hell
ATLL765
Sports broadcasters call it "laying out." It's a term used to describe intentional silence from a play-by-play announcer. The best practitioners -- usually ones who are ego free on-air -- understand instinctively the importance and value of natural sound following an iconic moment. Mike Emrick, the voice of hockey for NBC and NBCSN, is one of those announcers.
Emrick stopped talking for 1 minute and 50 seconds on Friday night following his call of Alec Martinez's Stanley Cup-winning goal for the Los Angeles Kings. Viewers heard crowd horns blaring, Kings players' whooping it up on the ice, and the winning goal announcement from the public address announcer. What they did not hear was Emrick, which was perfect.

I love Doc, he's such a class-act; so smart, respectful, well-spoken, and in love with the game. He stands in such high contrast against some of the other NBC has on their payroll.
Imagine an Eddie Olczyk type with free reign as the commentator (in Doc's position)? He'd be rambling on over the celebratory scenes about how close the Rangers came, and how much luck was a factor in the series, how good Lundqvist was throughout, and what's in store for the future of either team, etc.
It takes a special kinda commentator to just shut the F up and let the fans enjoy the moment.
Location:Morris County, NJ
And this is just another reason why Doc is the best there is and ever has been. Moments like that do all the talking on their own. I wish more announcers realized this.
DevsMan84
Me too. Love how one of the biggest goals in Devils franchise history is overtaken by Gary sh!thead Thorne screaming how it's not a good goal as the goal light didnt go off.

I was just going to say this. "Nooooooo" what a pos call it was.
devilsrule33
Well, we talked about this a month or two back, but that's a totally different call than an OT winner for the Cup. Taking out the blown call, it wasn't the Finals, and there was still time left in the game.
I love Doc, and I think in all sports silence for a minute or two is great when a team wins a Championship, but I don't think doing that is exclusive to Doc. Pretty sure any lead sporting announcer right now in the US/Canada would do the same or has done the same.
Having said that, Doc is the best at what he does.

I love reading articles about Doc, although I gotta be honest -- it kind of irks me that hardly any of them acknowledge how long he was the Devils' play-by-play announcer.
And mildly surprisingly, in this article he only mentions the Devs' 1987 four-OT game versus the Sabres in his top all-time games that stand out the most for him -- although maybe it was the article writer who chose to leave out other Devils games that Doc might've mentioned.

Gary thorne was an absolutely phenomenal play by play guy. Every announcer messes up sometimes, even during big events. Just look at doc during Kane's cup winning goal, or when he started to yell score when mcdonagh clearly rang one off the iron. If you're looking for bad pbp guys to compare against doc, thorne is a bad example.
Speaking of silence by a broadcaster, there's no worse PBP guy than Michael Kay. I know its a different sport, but he is abysmal, I've turned on Yankee games multiple times and had to check if I hit the mute button by accident. Literally 30 second chunks of nothing. Then "and the pitch, outside ball 2..........................................................................................................the 2-1 low inside.........." He reminds me of Monte from major league. "Fly ball........caught"

Lots of Doc hate in the comments.
Probably sh!t-stain Rag fans who are still crying about getting embarrassed in the Finals.
we were there
was kind of a lackluster win as i remember; still stoked
2012 had me laughing and crying and all that sh!t
Gary was terrible and his hate for the Devils showed through. In the case of Doc's mistakes, he at least stops himself as soon as he realizes that he either 1) make a mistake or 2) didn't get a good look at it or unsure of the situation. Once he realizes what happens he picks up where he left off and continues with the accurate announcing.
Gary on the other hand continues to shout about how the goal was not good even though you can tell he is unsure and his only recourse is that the goal light did not come on. He chose to make his decision by this instead of either looking at the replays that quickly followed or the fact that you can see plain as can be even in standard def TV days that the puck went in. Instead Gary continues to shout over and over again that it is not a good goal even while the players are celebrating and the Senators players are pretty much resigned to it.
Gary and Larry Brooks should really form their own club of bitter ex-Devils employees who will do anything to go out of their way to take shots at the Devils.

I think a lot of people hate Doc because he doesn't have that "radio voice." The same people would hate Harry Caray if he were announcing today.
There's going to be haters in any comments area. Doc is universally respected by all his peers and most fans of the game. His voice isn't for some, but there are many more Doc enthusiasts than detractors.
I know one dude, Bruins fan, who loses his sh!t every time Doc says "paraphernalia" LOL.

Whoever was in charge of the arena music should have followed suit and played nothing. Every arena should let the fans just cheer and be loud after a big win. The need for awful loud music is horrible. I would have loved to seen how an arena was without any music.
Location:Northern Morris co.
We all know what Doc brings/brought to Devils hockey, and it does stink that he's not ours still.
But come on with Gary Thorne! He had a few good years with us, but he though sensational screaming for any goals by a superstar was how to get on hilight reels. (in this respect, he is similar to Brooks' sensationalism, to try to get on as many websites as possible).
Not to mention the oft-mispronunciations over the years. (Gilcrest, Drooz from the top of my head.).
And this is going to sound crazy, but what if Chico were a network announcer. (I know he once was). His chemistry with Doc still trumps Eddie O. The other night, Gm. 5, Doc asked him a question, and it was dead silence for more than 10 secs.
(and sorry to all, I use parenthesis alot).
I think you're just going by your memory 11 years ago. Go watch the highlight now. You say he should have watched a replay and changed his tune, well guess how long it took him to change his tune, not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 whole seconds. For those 4 seconds he sounds like a complete bafoon because the puck obviously went in. But whos to say he didnt have a bad angle where he couldnt see the puck. Thorne was the voice of the playoffs in the late 90s and early 2000s and he did a great job of bringing excitement to important calls.
When kane scored the blackhawks are on the ice celebrating and doc said it rattled on back yet the puck hadn't gone anywhere besides in the net. I'm not saying he sucks, he's great, but when you make hundreds of calls a game for thousands of games, you're gunna mess up once in a while. Even the greatest like doc messes up many times a year.
Thorne was passionate with his calls and I enjoyed listening to him, and I still did recently when he was doing the NCAA tourney. You don't like him okay, i do. But I can tell you there's plenty of people that I talk to that would love to have him doing NHL games again.

Thorne was good at times, maybe later on he wasnt as good
he's nowhere as knowledgeable as Doc, but he's got the strong voice and enthusiasm
this was a good call as it happened...just past the 1 minute mark, I still get goosebumps from this
Edited June 18, 2014 by The 29th Pick
Thorne became an airhead when he started doing multiple sports at the same time. And yeah he (like most of ESPN) was so anti-Devils back in the late '90's/early '00's.
Thorne became an airhead when he started doing multiple sports at the same time. And yeah he (like most of ESPN) was so anti-Devils back then.
The Thorne hate is so overboard. It stems from the fact that while the Devils continued to dominate after the 2000 Cup run, it was in ESPN/ABC's best interests to find other story lines to sell to US hockey fans. We know about the Bourque story line all of the 2001 Finals (and while it continues to rub Devils fans and look past the Devils loss, it was a really good storyline to tell). Then in 2003, ABC really tried to promote the underdog scrappy Ducks. You couldn't blame them. That 03 Devils team was lacking any strong selling point.
Add in the 03 ECF blunder, and Thorne is hated for life. But find me a a Devils highlight that wasn't passionately called by him. I never heard one.

Whose fvcking idea was it to blast Bon Jovi's Its My Life right after the stanley cup clinching buzzer goes off?
Gary def had some hate for the Devils. Gary had lube for Ray Bourque during the 2001 Cup Finals. His bias was so obvious.
Exactly why I was complaining the Kings goal horn went off non stop for about 30 seconds. Can we just enjoy the moment without some dbag screwing things up. Just let us hear the crowd..its not that hard.


I'll try to keep this updated.
Canadian Breakfast - Bruce & Brian Dow & Paul Kane & Colin?
Let's put it Saturday night right now.
I'll do a huge breakfast skillet again as well as another main or side for a dinner...let's see how it fills out first. Sorry, no salmon this year.
I have a whole smoked venison hind quarter that I prepared for this year. You know how it is - I am the one with the "strange" meat. But not going to be there this year. SO what to do?

Somebody ought to be passing through Missery close enough to pick it up!!
I'm sure I'll learn more about the gathering as I read, but thought my contribution would be a couple cases of Vernors and Faygo to share (both made here in MI).
Anyone else plan to be there with a Tiny Titan or other hydroplane?
Great Looking Tiny Titan!!! The Vernors and Faygo sounds Great!!! Rich and I are not much at drinking and the pop will be very welcome. I think we had about a hundred or so last year at G5.
I have a Super Spartan, but I will likely not be able to bring it. I need to bring the Zip as I owe rides from G5.
Glad to hear you are coming. Will be a sight to see behind a Gold Wing. If the Anderson family comes from Canada again they have a Super Spartan they have brought to two other Gatherings in the past. Anybody heard from them? I think last year we had about 30+ boats and well over 100 people.

I'll be at the Lake of the Ozarks on Labor Day weekend picking up my Malahini for G6. If we could arrange a meeting spot along I-44, I'll run down and pick up the venison.
Saturday AM would probably be the best time.
Does it require refrigeration and, if so, how big a cooler do I need?

Hell! You guys know I'm a JERK I have underware to prove it. Just ask Lauren.

Part 7. The secondary side bar
Part 8. The index panel
It is customary, for websites, to give a "Site Map." I prefer, in this context, the old fashioned concept of a "Table of Contents." The main reason is that I wish to address a "reader" to whom I present a narrative, i.e., a linear, overview of the basic components of the Urkesh Global Record. In other words, I wish to describe in a discursive manner the logical structure and the organization of the material.
One may first refer to the organization or the layout of the page. The bar on the left hand side (in red) gives a traditional, and that on the right hand side (in black) a system bound, presentation. The Table of Contents will highlight more properly the contents of each section within these vertical bars.
One reason why this seems useful goes back to a matter of perception. With a book printed on paper, one has an instant perception of content dimensions: the number of pages between two covers, the subdivision into chapters (the size of which can also be gauged by leafing through the pages), the type of illustrations, etc. With a website, on the other hand, there is no perception of the whole. Our Table of Contents is meant to approximate such a perception. It is, one might say, an annotated Site Map, or an outline.
The left hand side vertical bar (in red) is divided into three, and the right hand side vertical bar (in black) into two, parts. These five parts constitute the scaffolding of the display, and remain visible at all times, the intent being to ensure that one may have always at hand the overview of the entire frame of reference. The subtitles within each "part" are like chapter headings, the content of which opens up in the main page as one clicks on it.
In what follows I will describe the basic contents of each of these five parts. To highlight the different sections, the boxes for each part of the Table of Contents are set off by a yellow background. Links are to the MZ Sitewide or the GRAMMAR digital books, or to the different unit books taken as examples (and linked to in parenthesis).

METHODS AND TECHNIQUES
Any given excavation unit must be seen within a wider frame of reference. The highest node is the Urkesh website, which is also the portal to the Urkesh Global Record.
The next highest node is the Mozan Sitewide: the link takes you directly to the pertinent digital book.
What follows is the area to which a given unit belongs, such as, for instance, area AA.
The last link in this set is to the home of the current unit, such as, for instance, A16.
The Preface gives a general orientation about the specific unit and about the scope of the digital book that corresponds to this unit.
The Table of contents (this page) shows how the digital book is articulated.
The acknowledgments refer to the institutions that have made work at this particular unit possible, and mentions the key staff members and colleagues who have contributed to the realization of the digital book (more details about the staff is given in Part Two).
The index gives a listing of the main topics treated, especially in Mozan Sitewide. Links are given for each topic to the pertinent page within the Urkesh Global Record.
The copyright page gives detailed information about the publication rights that we reserve and the conditions of use, applicable to the entire website.
INTRASITE FRAME explains the mechanisms through which the site is encased in a conceptual construct, as follows:
the tell is a brief overview of the site conceived as an organic physical entity, and resulting from specific formation processes;
zones are topographically meaningful wholes, defined by traits such as contours and identifiable surface features; a list of the major units on the High Mound is also provided; a list of the major units on the High Mound is also provided;
areas are typologically meaningful wholes, defined by aspects of the ancient built environment; a list of all zone on the High Mound and the Outer City is also provided;
units describes the maximal area of excavation, i.e., the largest operation within which data are ordered and indexed; a list of the major units on the High Mound is also provided;
Finally, I give as an appendix a brief overview of the expedition house, which is built on the tell, and about which a separate digital book will eventually appear.
region and macroregion opens a window onto the territory of ancient Urkesh, detailing how we understand it through surveys, excavations at neighboring sites, historical documents
domain deals with the regional spread of common traits in material culture
environment deals with the landscape from the point of view of perceptual geography
territory deals with the administrative and political subdivisions and boundaries
"DIGITAL DIMENSION" highlights the main points that characterize a properly digital presentation of the data. They are articulated as follows:
record and browser describes the basic distinction between the corpus of data as an intellectual construct (the Global Record) and the data prepared for display (the Browser Edition);
page layout explains the articulation of the various portions of the page as given in the Browser Edition;
digital narrative addresses the issue of the form taken by a type of thought that relies fully on a proper digital analysis of the data, while
digital reading addresses the issue of the "user," encouraging a confrontation with the digital narrative that takes full advantage of its merits, as a special new type of study;
automation explains how this technical dimension, i.e., the automatic construction of the digital narrative, has significant conceptual implications, while
linear and polyhedral clarifies a concept which is ubiquitous today, but not sufficiently understood in its proper meaning.
A treatment of the major chronological PERIODIZATION is to be found not in the Urkesh Global Record, but rather in the section on Interpretation of the Urkesh website. It provides an overall view of the main periods in the history of Urkesh.
Similarly, a treatment of METHODS AND TECHNIQUES (e.g., photography, surveying, computing) will be found in the section on Methodology of the Urkesh website.

Reunited: Korean vet's remains identified, returned
By Emily Sussman/Special to the Paraglide
"Every place we would go that there was crowd, my mom was always looking for somebody," said Roseann Stonestreet.
"That's what she did her whole life; she just looked for my dad."
Just before the start of the Korean War, Sgt. First Class Finley Davis and his Family were preparing for a big move. Davis asked that his wife, Violet and daughter, Roseann, —now Roseann Stonestreet — pack the house for relocation to Washington. Not long after packing began, he called again to say the move would not be happening.
Roseann was 12 when Davis deployed. She remembers the last thing they did together: a trip to see the movie "Flamingo Road," starring Joan Crawford, and she remembers the walks he would take her on.
Davis, attached to Company D, 2nd Engineer Combat Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, was sent to Korea.
As of Dec. 1, 1950, Davis was documented as missing in action.
He was presumed captured during a general withdrawal issued by Far East Command on Nov. 29, 1950. The order, issued in response to the Ch'ongch'on River battle, began the evening of Nov. 25, 1950.
2nd ECB, by circumstance, became the rear guard during the withdrawal. Continuous attacks by the Chinese People's Volunteer Force cut the column of retreating troops into isolated groups and this was when Davis was captured.
In mid-January 1951, Davis moved to a prisoner of war camp at Pyoktong, Camp 5.
It is there he is believed to have perished from exhaustion, dysentery and malnutrition in April 1951.
He was posthumously promoted to master sergeant.
The repatriation of all casualties, their remains and POWs in 1954 was called Operation Glory. During it, the remains of more than 4,200 individuals, just under 2,000 of which were determined to be American. Davis' remains were not found nor identified from the remains returned during Operation Glory and were determined unrecoverable in 1956.
In September 1954 a set of remains recovered from a POW camp cemetery near Pyoktong, Camp 5 were recovered but were unable to be identified.
In 2013 and 2014 these remains were exhumed from the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii and identified after analysis. The remains belonged to Davis.
"My great-grandmother — after he went over there, went missing and died — she never remarried after that," said Spc. Zachary Boney, Davis' great-grandson.
Boney is a horizontal construction engineer with the 161st Engineer Support Company, 27th Engineer Battalion, 20th Engineer Brigade.
According to Boney, the identification was verified using Stonestreet's DNA.
"It's good to know that even after so many years they (the Army) are still out looking for people," Boney said.
It's a love story, according to Boney and his mom.
Boney, asked by Stonestreet to bring his great-grandfather home, explained that it was not just because of his uniform that grandma chose him — it's his unique relationship with his grandmother.
"I hate to put it like this because of all my cousins and everything, but I have kind of always been her favorite," said Boney with a smile.
Boney recently left Fort Bragg to travel to Hawaii to receive his great grandfather's remains.
"(I feel) very honored to begin with, knowing my grandmother chose me. A little emotional because I know how much he meant to my grandmother," Boney said.
Boney will fly back to Charleston, South Carolina, April 19 with the remains.
The only time he will be away from his great grandfather's remains will be while on the plane.
Davis will be buried at Carolina Memorial Park, near his late wife.
"I know my mom would be so overjoyed she wouldn't know what to do," said Stonestreet.

Waxing may seem like a poor hair removal option for the woman with not enough hours in the day, but the benefits definitely make it an option to consider. Sure, it takes more time than grabbing a razor in the shower, but this process lasts longer than shaving; the effects last for two to three weeks because the hair is pulled from the roots.
What's more, when waxed, hair grows back thinner and finer. And the benefits don't end there! Waxing won't result in cuts or nicks, produces smoother results, and won't cause a shaving related rash. Additionally, many ethnic women suffer from darkening pigmentation due to shaving; a problem that can be solved by opting to wax.
When scheduling your waxing appointment, make sure your hair length is ideal for this hair removal method; the hair on your legs should be between a quarter-inch long to a half-inch long. If you know that you have a low pain threshold, then take Advil an hour or two before your appointment.
Don't have time to run to a salon? Consider waxing at home. You can purchase hot wax and cotton strips at your local beauty store, or purchase pre-waxed strips. Another alternative is to make wax in your kitchen using three simple ingredients: sugar, lemon juice, and water. Simply combine one cup of sugar, two tablespoons of lemon juice, and two table spoons of water in a saucepan. Allow the ingredients to melt over high heat until there is a boil. At this point, reduce the heat to medium and stir occasionally until the contents have browned. Transfer the mixture into a glass container, and voilà!—you have homemade wax.
When waxing at home, whether you've purchased your own wax or you've made a batch at home, make sure to never moisturize before using wax as it will prevent the wax from adhering to your hair. The only cream you should apply is numbing cream to temporary numb your skin if, and only if, you find the experience to be too painful. Just make sure to use baby powder to soak up any moisture on your skin and to ensure that the wax adheres to your hair. Remember to always pull the wax strip in the opposite direction of hair growth and to never wax the same area more than three times, as this will lead to skin irritation and increase the likelihood of ingrown hairs. After you're all done, exfoliate and moisturize so that any wax residue is removed and your skin remains smooth.


FBN's Trish Regan tells New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) to stop whining about the SALT deduction cap.
The governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, at the White House today to complain about... taxes!
This is why New York is 2.3 billion dollars short in tax revenue!
But instead of putting the onus on himself to come up with a better budget — and show some fiscal discipline - he's just complaining-- blaming Trump's tax policy for his state's lack of discipline.
Let me be clear: Trump's tax cuts, overall, where *not* entirely the windfall to high earners that the Left likes to pretend they were... because most of those high earners live in blue states where, all-in, tax rates are sky-high. In the case of New York City, for example, top earning residents pay a 4 percent city tax... and a 9 percent state tax... in addition 37 percent federal rate. Before Trump, city and local taxes could be deducted. So it didn't matter how much New York wanted to charge you!
No surprise there. They moved out of New York to places like Florida and Texas - places that have no income tax.
We now have a Democrat- Andrew Cuomo - complaining that taxes are too high.
Yes, sir. They are! But stop looking to the federal government for handouts and cut the taxes in New York yourself.
