Tim Hightower is one of the best stories in football for the past couple years. He was out of football completely for 4 years, joined the Saints last season and recorded 504 yards from scrimmage with 3 starts. Last week, Mark Ingram fumbled in the first quarter and Hightower took over for 100+ yards on the ground. If they're willing to feed Hightower the rock for 3 quarters over a healthy former Heisman winner and regular starter, it's hard to imagine the touches will dip too much.
Hightower says he didn't feel comfortable in the system last year. He seemed pretty dang comfortable down the stretch when Fantasy owners needed him most, right?
The Saints play the 49ers this week, who are giving up more rush yards than anyone in the league this season…1,136 to be exact. The Niners are on a record pace, and not in a good way. Hightower should be hungry to eat, regardless of his role on Sunday.
Based on the potential for volume, I lean toward Charcandrick West. While Jacksonville is proven to be very good against pass catching running backs, the Chiefs offense goes through their starter.
When it comes to wide receivers in the flex, if I don't seem them producing in the Top 25 at the position I can't justify starting them. It's hard to feel confident about Jordan Matthews against Janoris Jenkins. Mark Ingram's time-share status makes it difficult to start over an expected full-time back like West.
The Lions are too bad against tight ends to not start Kyle Rudolph.
I am not an oddsmaker, so I never know what to do with questions like that. Ben Roethlisberger took more snaps each day leading up to his game against the Ravens and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette expects him to start, barring a random setback.
Have more Fantasy lineup questions? Don't hesitate to ask on Facebook or Twitter.
Michael's Note: Now that the World Series is over, I should have more time to be more timely answering Fantasy Football questions and can include more content. Thank you for your patience during the Cubs' historic run.
Foster has retired. Drake is…hey, where is Drake? And Ajayi has recorded back-to-back weeks of 200+ rush yards. If you saw that coming when the season started, STOP IT NO YOU DIDN'T! Ajayi is on a bye this week, but expect him to continue seeing 20 touches or more going forward.
RB – Frank Gore is going to be your guy this weekend. Outside of not trusting the Vikings offense, Frank Gore is the safe bet for his consistency…which bodes well against a very average run defense.
WR – Expect Vernon Hargreaves to cover Amari Cooper, which leads the one of the league's touchdown leaders, Michael Crabtree, to eat against either Alterraun Verner and Brent Grimes.
Sorry I was late on the Allen Robinson portion of your question. Randall Cobb will be your best choice, after the fact. He has seen double-digit targets in each of the last 3 weeks and won't be drawing Desmond Trufant. Falcons-Packers has shootout potential too.
Don't love your options but Demaryius Targaryen has the best matchup and is far more talented than the either two, despite his numbers in the previous meeting.
Don't love your options either, but you're leaning the right way…Jordan Matthews is your guy.
Can we talk about LeSean McCoy for a minute?
McCoy is 150 yards from scrimmage away from surpassing both Shaun Alexander and Marshawn Lynch for 39th on the all-time list. Among backs with 10,000 career yards total, McCoy ranks 7th all-time with 4.7 yards per carry. When many (me included) thought he was close to being done, he proved to us that he is still an elite back in the league after scoring 7 touchdowns this season(2nd in the NFL).
He is set to face a Miami defense that is allowing the 4th most rush yards to opposing RBs. He left practice early this week with hamstring tightness and should be worth monitoring before kickoff though. If healthy, McCoy will be a great play this week. If not, be ready to pick up Mike Gillislee.
It's never comfortable to play someone on Thursday Night, but Cameron Meredith is legitimate play this week against a Packers defense that is missing its TOP 3 defensive backs. He ranks 3rd in receiving yards and 1st in receptions over the last 2 weeks. Meredith is also a favorite of Brian Hoyers when in the red zone. While I DO believe in Kenny Britt, you have to play Meredith.
If Jordan Reed sits, you should go with Vernon Davis. If he doesn't, Charles Clay is your next best play against a Dolphins defense that has allowed touchdowns to tight ends in 2 of their last 4 games.
TE: Anyone who had Coby Fleener a week ago (*raises hand*) finally got to unleash the power of an athletic tight end in Sean Payton's system. This week, however, I would recommend going with Kyle Rudolph. He is second among TEs in touchdowns and is averaging 7.4 targets per game. He is also getting 40% of the Vikings red zone targets and it's hard to pass on that consistency.
WR: I feel bad about this because I do really like Kenny Britt going forward, but Julian Edelman is healthier and on the Tom Brady Revenge tour. If it doesn't all come together this weekend against a Steeler's defense that will be too busy with the tight ends, then bench him.
DEF: Seattle is the better defense but I like Cincinnati's matchup WAY MORE.
QB: It's time to unleash #HoyerTheDestroyer.
The highest scoring non-quarterback in Fantasy Football right now is David Johnson (aka #DJ2K). He added two touchdowns and 157 rush yards to his total last week against San Francisco.
Johnson has gained over 100 yards from scrimmage in every game, so far this season, and faces a Jets defense that has allowed 16 receptions, 125 yards and two touchdowns to running backs in the last two weeks. He may not see as many carries as he got against the 49ers (27) because Carson Palmer is set to return, but you can count on his receiving skills to do some heavy damage against the J-E-T-S…blah blah blah.
TE: The perennially slow starting Seahawks offense seems to have found a connection between Russell Wilson and Jimmy Graham. Graham has recorded back-to-back 100-yard performances for the first time since 2003. The Falcons are also the second worst (to the Browns) at giving up TDs to the position.
Flex: Jordan Howard recorded the 9th most yards from scrimmage by a rookie in Bears franchise history. Names like Anthony Thomas, James Allen, and yes…Walter Payton…produced better games in their first year, and just by up to 30 yards. In terms of matchups, Howard doesn't have an easy one in Jacksonville. They have allowed 104 rush yards per game and only 2 touchdowns on the ground. Based on the volume Howard gets in the Bears offense (running and receiving) you can't let him sit.
DEF: I'm not sure about the Panthers in the long-term, due to their young secondary being taken advantage of nearly every weekend and having one takeaway in their last 3 games. Short term, their matchup with the Saints has shootout potential, and that's bad for any defense. I like your Titans pick against Cody Kessler and the Browns. The Titans are making a lot of noise with back-to-back multi-interception games and ranking 6th in sacks.
Steve Sr. is (1) not a tight end and (2) dealing with an ankle injury that knocked him out of last week's game. Go with James White.
If I learned anything last week, it's not to doubt Devonta Freeman. Against the best defense in football, Freeman totaled 123 yards and a touchdown. You can look at the yards per carry as a negative, but 26 touches is proof he is Atlanta's every down back (with Coleman getting his work receiving). The upside is in Freeman's favor, while Frank Gore will give you either 75+ yards or a touchdown…like he has in every game so far this season. Up to you.
TE: In the Brian Hoyer era for Chicago, Zach Miller is averaging 6 catches, 61 yards and a touchdown. While Hoyer is spreading the ball around, he does seem to have favorite targets in 3rd down situations and Miller is one of them. Keep riding that train as Zach Ertz is facing a defense that gave up less than 60 yards to both Gary Barnidge and Dennis Pitta.
Flex: Matt Forte is that guy we all want to love (with good reason) but we really shouldn't. He hasn't done anything close to his monster Week 2 and Bilal Powell is taking more and more pass targets away from him. I also don't think this will be a good week to play Travis Benjamin. As you know, Broncos are probably looking for blood on Thursday Night Football this evening. Jordan Matthews is your best call.
Well, Quincy Enunwa would've been a pretty great pickup. Sammie Coates would be outstanding, if you can find him. Outside of those two? Chris Hogan, Jeremy Kerley and Devante Adams are decent week-to-week fill-ins, but I would try to make a trade if you are looking for a dependable solution for the rest of the season.
Melvin Gordon is going to get the touches against a Broncos D (that has given up the 10th most points to RBs) and has averaged a score in every game. If I'm looking for a safer play though, it's Kelvin Benjamin against the Saints. They have allowed 86+ yards to 6 different receivers in 4 games and are letting quarterbacks just CHUCK IT on them. Love the shootout potential at the Superdome this weekend, Cam Newton or not.
Did you have either Julio Jones or Matt Ryan in your lineup last week? Both? Or did you leave one on your bench because you underestimated how good they are paired together?
It's hard to doubt these two again for a while, right? They (the unstoppable force) take on Denver (an immovable object). Ryan is the the highest scoring quarterback in Fantasy Football. The Denver defense leads the league in sacks, have only allowed 1 touchdown reception (to Kelvin Benjamin) and have allowed just 3 receptions on 7 targets in the red zone.
X-Factor? Julio being Julio. He's a Mutant and likely future X-Men, so there's that.
TE: You have a strong predicament there, considering both TEs are facing really terrible defenses. With Tom Brady returning and Rob Gronkowski back to 100%, I feel more comfortable with Zach Miller's targets this weekend than Martysaurus Rex. Miller is definitely going to be depended on more with the loss of Kevin White and he is going up against The Replacements…being the Colts linebackers.
Matt Ryan is playing like the best quarterback in football right now.
The Eagles defense hasn't allowed a passing touchdown yet this season.
The Falcons run game helps setup Ryan and his receivers better, even against the Broncos defense.
RB: I like Giovani Bernard's ability in open space against Dallas much more than Tevin Coleman having to play second fiddle against the Broncos.
WR: Sammy Coates was one of the best WR pickups you could snag on the waiver-wire this week but I like Quincy Enunwa much more in this matchup, with Eric Decker likely to sit out. Steeler's are ranked 30th in defending #2 WRs.
QB: I'm shocked Philip Rivers is available in your league. If you can get him, play him. The Raiders are THE WORST at defending pass yards and are in the bottom 3rd in allowing pass touchdowns.
DEF: The Rams will be your best bet this weekend, as they are SMOTHERING quarterbacks this year and not even Tyrod Taylor can out run Aaron Donald.
TE: Ertz. Carson Wentz loves throwing to his tight end and the Lions haven't figured out how to defend the position in the past season and a half.
WR: For the reasons I like Philip Rivers above, I REALLY like Travis Benjamin. You don't have a bad play though, considering Jordan Matthews plays out of the slot and will do so in a very good matchup. The Lions allow the 6th most fantasy points against receivers.
I also don't feel good about Stafford this week, but if you can stream a QB…go with #HoyerTheDestroyer. He has 300+ yards and 2 TDs in each of his past 2 starts and it should continue this weekend against a Colts defense that has 3 TDs to 2 of the 4 QBs they have played against this year.
QB: I feel better about Wentz against the Lions than I do Jameis repeating Matt Ryan's murderous work. I don't think you'll be particularly wrong with either though.
RB: GAH…it pains me to say it because I'm not a big fan of his Fantasy prowess (love him as a person though) but you have to go with Frank Gore in this matchup. Davonta Freeman is facing the best defense in football. Gore is not.
We don't normally do Keeper League things on here, but I do want to talk about Kevin White. White was getting better every week before he was placed on IR. He had more receptions than any Bears receiver in their first 4 games. I think it depends on how desperate you are for an extra roster spot, what's available, who will emerge to pickup for your draft next year…I haven't given up on White's potential and I like the prospects of him playing with a new quarterback in 2017.
The best thing in this trade appears to be Michael Crabtree. Problem is…Kelce has all the ability to be a top end Tight End and could be elite paired with a Top 10 quarterback. You don't seem to be needy for a major trade but Crabtree would help you in the short run…Kelce would help you in the long run. I'll let you decide.
Bears safety Chris Prosinski was just minding his own business, serving as a backup on defense and contributing on special teams. Next thing you know, he's forced into the game because of injuries and is immortalized on posters for years to come…because Ezekiel Elliott did this to him.
Aside from the shame that Prosinski has to harbor, in film sessions and highlight shows for years to come, the Cowboys have something special on their hands. Elliott had his coming out party against Chicago on Sunday Night Football last week, rushing for 140 yards and adding 20 more receiving. He was a workhorse down the stretch. Gashing a beat up Bears defense, but running harder on every down. He is currently the league's 3rd leading rusher, with 2 touchdowns, and should only impress more behind the NFL's best offensive line.
The Cowboys are also led by another rookie at quarterback, who is making a lot of us wonder how he fell to the 4th round in this year's draft. Dak Prescott doesn't have gaudy numbers, yet, but he appears to be looking better by the week. He threw his first career touchdown pass in Week 3, averages 33 attempts per game, and goes up against the 28th ranked pass defense on Sunday (San Francisco). He won't necessarily carry your team, but a spot start by Prescott doesn't appear shabby in Week 4 if you need one.
Terrelle Pryor became the first player in NFL history to record over 140 receiving yards, 20 rushing yards, and 30 passing yards all in the same game. He is the Browns' best source for offense and even played safety, at one point, against the Dolphins in Week 3. You can also tell that Cleveland coach Hue Jackson is scheming specifically to put the ball in Pryor's hands AND in open space…because why wouldn't you, when the guy is 6'6, 240 pounds and can run a 4.4 40-second drill.
Christine Michael looked like he was in a video game in the first quarter against San Francisco in week 3. 9 carries, 71 yards and 2 touchdowns (the first on his first touch for 41 yards). He came back to Earth though, only rushing for 35 on 3.1 yards per carry after that. Michael is the guy many people have waited on, with all the physical tools to be a star in the league. The injuries Thomas Rawls has dealt with have given Michael his 3rd or 4th chance to prove it, as it seems. He has a tough matchup this week against the Jets, a Top-3 rush defense.
If Dez Bryant plays, he'll be doing so with a fractured knee…So, I'll let you decide on that one.
For PPR's sake, you'll for sure want to start Mark Ingram. The Chargers are allowing NINE CATCHES PER GAME to running backs, so far this season. Being without Manti Teo (who is still without his imaginary girlfriend. Sorry too easy), makes the Chargers way more susceptible to the run.
Carlos Hyde may have gone off on the Seahawks, but they didn't allow Arian Foster or Todd Gurley to go over 51 yards the weeks prior. Travis Benjamin will continue to get is targets and shoot EAT against the Saints secondary.
The Giants have done some impressive things rushing the passer and against the run, but they are THE WORST against the pass through 3 weeks this season. Stefon Diggs should be in for a solid day of receiving yards on Sunday.
Despite facing his toughest matchup of the season, I have to recommend Mike Evans over Emmanuel Sanders because he is 2nd in targets this season to Antonio Brown. Jameis Winston may not play particularly well, but you can count on him at least throwing it Evans' way.
League leader in receiving yards Marvin Jones against the depleted Bears secondary. Then Brandin Cooks, for the real potential of a shootout with San Diego.
You have to play Julio Jones if you have him. Last week was a bit of an enigma with him. Look for Julio to take advantage of a young Panthers secondary that has only faced Trevor Siemian, Blaine Gabbert, and Sam Bradford so far this season and Matt Ryan has all of a sudden shown up as a top quarterback again. I get the temptation for Marvin Jones, but Julio is far more proven and that deal needs to be sweetened much more for me to trade him.
Hey man, I just give advice. I don't lock your lineup for you.
After all the running back injuries last weekend, it seems the best course would be to tread lightly…when claiming a fill-in.
After Jonathan Stewart went down with a hamstring injury, Whittaker took over with 100 yards rushing on 16 carries (6.25 yards per carry). Stewart isn't expected to be out very long, but you can't expect the Panthers to increase the potential for Cam Newton to get hurt on more quarterback draw plays. Whittaker has the talent to be effective with a lead back's workload. Cameron Artis-Payne and Mike Tolbert will be in the rotation for touches, but the majority should go to Whittaker…who recorded nearly a quarter of his 3-year career rush total just last week.
There are 3 running backs, not named Adrian Peterson, who are looking to shine on the Vikings roster. Matt Asiata is a goal line vulture, with short-yardage power. Ronnie Hillman landed from Denver, not too long ago, and has the ability to be a flash-in-the-pan every once in a while. Then there's Jerick McKinnon, who may be the most talented of the 3 and should be counted on for his pass-catching and breakaway speed. Your best bet is McKinnon for those exact reasons, and because the Vikings could be playing from behind against Newton and the now high-flying Panthers offense.
These two rookie running backs should be on your radar. Dixon is on his way back from injury, but worth stashing once he returns. Neither Justin Forsett or Terrance West have done enough to claim the #1 RB role in Baltimore, and Dixon is one of the most talented players to come out of the draft…Going down the coast, we find Drake getting an opportunity to earn #1 type work over Jay Ajayi while Arian Foster deals with the thing that's plagued him since 2013…injuries. Drake ran in a touchdown last week, and Ajayi has been a healthy scratch for Dolphins once already this season.
RB2 – You've got really good problem on your hands. Both players have great matchups, but I like Gordon's situation more. The Chargers signed Dexter McCluster to fill in for the Woodhead role, but realistically he still needs to learn the offense. The Colts are also incredibly banged up on defense. The 2015 version of myself wouldn't believe I'm saying this, but go with Melvin Gordon.
Flex – I understand the concern not wanting to stack a RB & WR from the same team, but Ken Whisenhunt has brought some serious fire power back to the Chargers' offensive play-calling. On top of Woodhead and Allen being hurt, the Chargers may also be without Antonio Gates this weekend. Travis Benjamin should be a target monster.
I would respond by asking, who is available? The Chiefs had a solid bounce back last week with 2 sacks and 2 picks, while also holding one of the more potent offenses in football to under 20 points. The Jets looked pretty dangerous a week ago against a pretty messed up Bills squad, but they could be just as prone for turnovers…as FitzMagic proved at the end of last season. Tweet me your other Defensive options at @Mike_PiFF03.
Not Golden Tate. As a Golden Tate enthusiast before the season, I've got pretty hard feelings toward his production in the first two weeks.
Atlanta's secondary has been LIT UP 2 weeks in a row, and Brandin Cooks is just the spark for another deep bomb of a TD (or 2). Jordan Matthews has recorded 100 yards or a touchdown in 6 of his last 8 games. You can trust him more than Demaryius Targaryen, which is very tough for me to say.
FLEX – Gordon for the reasons above.
WR – T.Y. Hilton becomes more valuable with Moncrief being injured. I love Will Fuller but it's hard to trust players to play at their best on Thursday night.
I don't love going against Carson Palmer, but I do love most quarterbacks facing the Saints secondary. They will likely be without P.J. Williams and Delvin Breaux and it's obscene that Eli Manning didn't score more points on them. Go with Matt Ryan.
I know Sproles is tempting, but you must resist. Ryan Matthews is proving that his nose for then end zone is too strong to deny.

Q: Can WebORB "share" a port with another site in IIS? I'm using WebORB for .NET and I've had no problems with it running on its default port (2037) in my development environment.
When I deploy it to my staging environment and attempt to access it over the public internet, this port is blocked at many points along the way as it's an uncommon port, and I observe a red WebORB logo with the message "can not connect to messaging server" when I access the WebORB console.
Opening the port is a partial solution, but anyone accessing WebORB's applications will also need to ensure they're not blocking that port... so it's not really a proper solution.
I have managed to get WebORB running on port 443 (which is used for SSL, and therefore almost never blocked), but only if I have no other sites in IIS with a port 443 binding.
This is also unacceptable as I will eventually have another site on the same server with a port 443 binding.
So, my question is: is it possible to run WebORB on port 443 (or 80), when another site in IIS is also bound to that port?
Update following answer
I'm on Server 2008R2, and therefore IIS7.5, and I'd prefer to run my WebORB website in integrated mode.  The instructions in the first article mention adding a wildcard script map for Isapi.dll - this will only be invoked in classic mode.
I've added all of the entries that the article suggests, and have configured my site to use port 80.  There are other sites bound to port 80 in IIS.
When I navigate to the WebORB console, I'm observing the same behaviour I saw before adding the new RTMPT handlers - a red WebORB logo and no entries appearing in the "Messaging Server" panel.  However, I do see the "Bad request, only RTMPT supported." message when navigating to ~/open/1, and my diagnostics.aspx page looks fine.
In the log I see the following:

...
WEBORB INFO:adding child scope for - \root
WEBORB INFO:scope registered - \root
  WEBORB INFO:WebORB Messaging Server 4.4.0.0 (c) 2003-2010 Midnight Coders, Inc.
WEBORB INFO:is running - False
WEBORB EXCEPTION:System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions

     at Weborb.Messaging.BaseRTMPServer.start()
WEBORB INFO:shutting down WebORB Message Server
WEBORB INFO:loading type: Weborb.Management.ServiceBrowser.Browser.AssemblyBrowser
...

Do I need to alter any other config to enable the console to use RTMPT?
Also, given that incoming requests must be over HTTP, is there no way to consider host headers?

A: what you are asking is whether you can route RTMP connections via port 80 or 443. Since these ports are managed by IIS, the incoming connections must be HTTP-based. Your RTMP clients can connect via port 80 or 443 by using RTMPT or RTMPS respectively. In that case, you do not need to "run WebORB on these ports", but instead configure WebORB to use RTMPT or RTMPS. Please see the following doc:
Configuring RTMPT in WebORB: http://www.themidnightcoders.com/fileadmin/docs/dotnet/v4/guide/rtmpt.htm
Configuring RTMPS in WebORB:
http://www.themidnightcoders.com/fileadmin/docs/dotnet/v4/guide/rtmps_support.htm
Hope this helps.
UPDATE: If the goal is to route the management console's traffic via RTMPT, it will not work with the currently released version. The console can dynamically determine the RTMP port, but it will stick to the RTMP protocol and does not have the code to switch to RTMPT. This is something we will look into.
As for the exception you're getting, it occurs because the port you specified in Global.asax is already taken by some other process.

"Aaron was the eldest of my 6 children and the one who shaped our family into the family it is today. I had always wanted to be a mother so finding out we were expecting was a dream come true. We were that enthusiastic we even had his name picked out before he was born.
Aaron meaning man of strength couldn't have been more appropriately picked for such a courageous, determined and loving child.
Aaron was born on 17th September 1985. He burst into the world full of potential. I remember holding him for the first time and finally understanding the true meaning of unconditional love. He was absolutely beautiful. Sadly, he spent the first 6 months of his life in the Rotunda Hospital. He lay there, his body covered in painful sack filled blisters the size of apples, my small baby denied of being held and hugged in my arms for fear that we would do more damage to our beautiful son.
I was so confused, why had this happened to me? – Unfortunately EB was virtually unknown in Ireland back then, so support and advice was thin on the ground. Driven by a mother's instinct and feeling helpless day after day, when we heard about a UK hospital that knew of EB it was a blessing. Myself and my husband Val discharged Aaron from hospital against all the advice of the doctors and made the first of many of trips to the UK to finally get help for our son.
Life as we knew it changed and became a vicious circle of bandages changes and hospital appointments. One of the many amazing qualities that I will remember about my beautiful son, is that he never seemed to show any resentment when later he saw his younger brothers and sisters playing. Because of the obvious physical limitations that EB enforced on Aaron it sometimes prevented him from being included in the games. Aaron would instead sit contently watching them and always had a smile on his face. His passion was playing pool and he would hang out with his dad and his uncle Michael most Sundays in the pool hall in Killester, where he became a well know regular.
Aaron's day would start at 6am to do the first half of his bandages and end late into the evening when we would finish them. You would hear songs like "The rocky road to Dublin" being blast sky high as Aaron used music to manage his pain. He would sing from the bottom of his lungs as we sat for hours removing bandages, bursting blisters and wrapping him again to help protect his body from further breakdown and infection.
In October 2000 we moved in to a purpose built house named "Aarons Haven" to allow Aaron the freedom in moving from room to room in his electric chair. He loved that he could get out to the garden and sit and watch the sheep in the next field. Although he was confined to a wheelchair – he enjoyed the sense of total escapism as he looked out at the green fields for as long as the eye could see. I sometimes thank god that the house was a detached house as on one occasion after finally getting into bed in the early hours of the morning and falling fast asleep only to be woken all of a sudden by "Peggy Gorden" being blasted from Aarons room at 4am in the morning. Never one to let the fact that his hands were completely bandaged he had used the tip of his nose to turn up the music.
He attended school until he was 12 and enjoyed the company of the others in his class. He was a practical joker and enjoyed being there with his friends. Aaron's faith, love of his family and love of music is what got him through. He had a warm and inviting personality and a cheekiness about him that captured all who met him. He used to have the nurses in the UK in stitches with his quick wit and rebel songs.
His body was practically 90% covered in bandages and towards the end of Aaron's life, he had little or no skin left on his back. He had developed other complications due to EB such as osteoporosis, dislocated hips and scoliosis along with his sight being affected particularly in the last year.
Despite all of this he was so open to having his picture taken to help develop awareness around EB, when his dad and I committed to being some of the founder members of what has become the charity DEBRA Ireland with other parents, he was so open and happy to help in any way he could.
Aaron never complained, he was a happy child and often tried not to cry even when in the severest of pain for fear that he would upset me. But in October 2001, I knew something was different. He wasn't getting as long from the pain relief and one afternoon sitting at home Aaron, failed to recognise me when I walked into our sitting room as his sight was beginning to fail him.
Sadly Aaron health declined rapidly after this. The last few days were terrible. I remember the night before sitting with him and he turned and said that he had words stuck in his chest. He didn't want to say them because he was afraid he would upset me but he was asking Jesus to help him. He began to describe images he was seeing in his room and although initially we thought it might have been the medication, Aaron was very much in his senses. He was able to remember the list of his medication and even asked the nurse for a cup of tea with two sugars and sat up and drank it, shortly before he died. We now believe these images and experience to be the beginning of Aaron's journey to the next life.
Aaron died on the 30th October 2001 at 2.30pm with his family around him.
Aaron is remembered every day by his mam, dad and his brothers and sisters and all those who loved him.
The following is a poem that was written by one of the many people who got to meet Aaron and captures the essence of the impression he made on anyone who met him.
That made the day not so long.
That life can be hard and painful for some.
Was a battle to be won.


As the weather gets warmer, the stove becomes a less attractive option for cooking since it makes even more heat. Here is a cool approach to making spreads that can be meals or side dishes.
Beans - pinto, white, black, etc.
Spices - cumin, coriander, chili powder, blend (from the website, e.g, Indian), etc., salt and pepper to taste.
Salsa - add a Gourmet-O-Matic tm salsa, if you want.
Drain beans if using canned.
Add spices. Blend 'til desired consistency.
Add salsa if you want. Blend if you want smooth. Stir in if you like things chunkier (this is easier if you remove the spread from the food processor).


Chattanooga is a hidden gem for those of us here in the southeastern part of the States. This small city is full of history, art, food and fun. We were immediately impressed with the relaxed and laid back vibe of Chattanooga, making it easy for us to see that it is a great place for both families and outdoor enthusiasts. But beyond these things, we discovered something even more surprising, a pretty awesome Chattanooga hostel…The Crash Pad!
Located only a few short hours from Atlanta, Knoxville, and Nashville, Chattanooga may get overlooked when planning vacations around the southeast. In fact, even we overlooked it on multiple occasions. However after our recent visit, we are convinced that Chattanooga should be on everyone's travel radar here in the southeast. For more details about our recent visit, check out our post on the top 5 things to do in Chattanooga.
We had actually heard about the Crash Pad Chattanooga Hostel a while back. Yet every time we got around to making plans for a trip to Chattanooga, they were booked full. This was a sign to us that it must be a pretty popular place! And as soon as we walked into the lobby/common area, we could see why!
We were greeted by Jordan behind the desk. With a huge smile and friendly personality, you could feel his energy and passion for the outdoors right away. The Crash Pad Chattanooga hostel is a mix of modern design with outdoor attitude. The giant picture of the legendary rock climber Alex Honnold that hangs in the common area gives you a sense of the personality of this community.
The check in process was made easy by Jordan and the staff at The Crash Pad. He went over the security measures and showed us how to use our key cards, then gave us a quick tour before showing us to our room.
The Crash Pad has a few different room options for travelers. One thing we hear a lot from people who are unfamiliar with hostels is that they are just for young travelers trying to save money on the road. And while this is true to a certain extent, these are not the only types of people who stay at hostels. In fact, we met several people staying with The Crash Pad who were regular business travelers who enjoyed the pricing and atmosphere. Check out this post about common misconceptions about hostels that we wrote.
On this particular trip, we had some work that we needed to catch up on, so we opted to stay in a private room at The Crash Pad. The room was quite comfortable with modern furnishings, comfy bed and linens, and a sink. For this particular room we did not have an ensuite bathroom, but instead a community bathroom down the hall. And we were fine with that. It's similar to when you stay at a campground and you walk to the shower in the morning. The bathrooms were clean and located only a few steps away from our room.
The Crash Pad also offers a number of nice wooden bunk beds, each with privacy curtains. They include a personal fan, reading light, and locking compartments for your belongings. There are also larger private room options with space for 3 people, having a queen size bed and single bunk above it.
One of the reasons we enjoy staying at hostels is that they typically have a community kitchen that you can use. This really helps to save money while traveling, but also gives you the homey and comfortable vibe. At some hostels, including The Crash Pad Chattanooga hostel, they offer complimentary breakfast. In this case, they provided all the ingredients to cook your own breakfast, with local organic eggs, toast with a variety of spreads, and plenty of coffee.
It always nice when we are traveling to be able to wake up slowly, enjoy a nice cup of coffee and chat over breakfast before rushing out to see the sights. Plus, we love being able to socialize with other travelers. Food always brings people together. And in this case, we had a fun morning having breakfast and meeting the others who were staying at The Crash Pad too. To learn more about why we enjoy hostels, check out our post 5 Perks of Staying in a Hostel.
Other amenities at The Crash Pad include laundry facilities, computers and internet, beer and other snacks, as well as outdoor space that includes a fire pit and yard games. This outdoor space comes wired with speakers, lights, and a grill — so you can even rent this space for events (pretty cool)! Lastly, there is a restaurant next door that has the same owners and you can get 20% off your purchases for being hostel guest. However if you want to explore other restaurants in town, just ask the hostel for a list and they will show you many other places where you can get discounts too! These discounts even extend to outdoor rental companies, so be sure to check it out!
Chattanooga is also a very "Green" town. And during our visit to The Crash Pad, we learned just how environmentally friendly the hostel is. In fact, they have earned platinum LEED certification, currently the only hostel to achieve this and only the fourth building in Chattanooga.
They even have a system set up to recycle their water, and rain water is collected into their water system as well. Even the roof is green with a vegetable garden growing up there. Plus, the view is nothing short of amazing.
We really enjoyed our stay at The Crash Pad Chattanooga Hostel. Our room was very clean and comfortable. It is well constructed to reduce noise, the bathrooms were clean, the amenities were thoughtful, and we loved that we were able to cook a homemade breakfast and enjoy the common areas with fellow travelers. Plus, Jordan's hospitality was top notch. He even gave us some sightseeing advice and printed up directions for us. It was a great experience and we were very happy to finally get the chance to stay here while visiting Chattanooga. If you are ever in the area and need a place to crash, make sure to book your stay with The Crash Pad.
It is wonderful to find such a great place in Chattanooga. Not only does it seem warm, and welcoming it is very eco-friendly. Makes me proud to be from the area and see a great place like this!
Thanks for the comment Emma! Yeah, it is a wonderful place – we just loved our visit to Chattanooga. A beautiful area to live!
Wow! I've been flying in and out of Chattanooga for years and have never had any desire to see anything more than the airport terminal. I'm definitely going to change that and I know where I'll be staying! Great post!


Quiet weather will be with us through Tuesday with some sun and highs in the 30's.
Then on Wednesday the first storm in a series of storms this week moves in. This first storm could bring 3-5 inches to the base, and 5-9 inches to the mountain.
The 2nd storm will move in around Thursday night bringing similar amounts of snowfall.
The 3rd storm moves in Friday night into Saturday and could bring 3-6 inches to the bases, and up to a foot to the mountain. We will have to watch the snow levels Friday night as they could rise above the base before falling Saturday.
The highs will remain in the 30's through the week. The winds will pick up with the storms with gusts on the mountain tops up to 50+ mph.
The active pattern looks to continue through week 2 with continued storms every couple of days.

The mainstream media have emerged as a prominent force in the sexual socialization of American youth, with teens consuming nearly 7.5 hours of media a day. However, media portrayals of women are often quite limited, with heavy emphasis on their beauty, sexiness, and sexual appeal. How might regular exposure to this content shape how young women view themselves and their abilities? Most of the existing research testing this question has focused on traditional media, mainly magazines, and on consequences for young women's mental health. In this talk, I present findings from several studies that extend this work by testing contributions of traditional and social media, and consequences for girls' and young women's sexual health, experiences of intimate partner violence, and academic cognitions.

You're pushing 60 and look like hell
Posted on June 15, 2011 by RepMan
Although it suffers from a typically, feel-good Hollywood ending, 'The Company Men' is nonetheless a better than average movie about business.
The plot revolves around a series of plant closings and massive downsizings at the fictional GTX (a multi-industry type conglomerate along the lines of Honeywell, Raytheon or Tyco). Indeed, Craig T. Nelson's portrayal of a Dennis Kozlowski-type, morally and ethically challenged CEO who rakes in $22 million per annum while ripping apart a once proud rust belt giant, is gripping.
The cast is rounded out by Ben Affleck (playing Ben Affleck, of course. The man has the range of paper airplane), Chris Cooper (who is superb in his everyman role) and Tommy Lee Jones (whose severely lined face reminds me of one of the maps we use to navigate mountain climbs).
The flick's seminal moment comes when a recently downsized Cooper strolls into a Challenger Gray-type outplacement firm and plops his world weary self down in a chair opposite a career counselor. The latter starts freshening Cooper's resume and making suggestions how he might reinvent himself. Cooper will have none of it. In response, the outplacement counselor slams down his resume, points her finger at Cooper and says, "You're pushing 60 and look like hell. Do you actually think you'll find something?"
I won't reveal any of the movie's twists and turns but, as I said it's well worth watching, especially for PR people. Here's why:
– I interview far too many Chris Cooper types who, after a career at a large holding company's PR firm or an in-house corporate communications department, have been set adrift in their mid 50s. They're floundering, have no readily transferable skills to a social media-driven profession, yet are still looking for upwards of $350k per annum.
– Far too many PR Millennnials have no real clue how the business of business works. Oh, they know social media and they get the rapid changing world of the blogosphere, but they don't understand PR's role within the larger organization. Nor can they read an annual report or balance sheet. Nor do they grasp the physical, emotional and psychological damage a downsizing will cause (unless one of their parents has fallen prey to rightsizing).
The Company Men is no Glengarry Glen Ross which remains, in my estimation, the single best movie EVER made about business. But, it is worth ordering on demand. And, as I said to my wife Angie as I watched Cooper suffer one indignity after another, "There but for the grace of god go I."

Having skimmed significant passages of the Valukas report, I have a very good idea of what did and didn't happen, Gaetano. Getting back to the subject of aging well vs. poorly, I'd say Bowie has weathered the ravages of time quite well. Patty Smyth and Eric Carmen (he of the Raspberries 'go all the way' fame), not so much.
Yeah, Costner did look like hell. And, one could create new districts and borders on a map simply using the lines on Tommy Lee Jones's face as reference points. Re: Wall Street movies, I just saw HBO's 'Too big to fail' which had an all-star cast. Very well done. Paul Giamatti (aka My-ky) did an admirable job as Ben Bernacke.
Agreed. There are far worse. But, he's certainly not the next Brando either.

Too Big to Fail was the Readers Digest version of what happened…not bad but Inside Job gets into the real details.
Finally saw The Company Men…speaking about pushing 60 and looking like hell…Kevin Costner..wow. Nice taste of how the greedy bastards on Wall Street have destroyed the middle class. A better look at the financial collapse of 2008 is the documentary "Inside Job" a must see for what's wrong with Wall St and their co-conspirator's.

I've seen worse actors then Ben Affleck…
Well put, Julie. Passion, energy and knowledge of cutting-edge trends should have no age limits. Too many people get set in their ways, assume they can stay in cruise control until retirement and, then, bam, along comes downsizing. The Chris Cooper character is the prototypical, middle-aged deer in the headlights who is caught totally by surprise. Btw, do you agree with my assessment of Ben Affleck's acting skills (or, lack thereof)?
JulieFarin on June 17, 2011 at 8:45 am said:
This film sounds like a cautionary tale which we all can learn from, regardless of age: Keep up with changes in your profession; don't rest on your laurels; don't put all your eggs in one basket; and never stop learning.

Spot on, Jepotts. It's no longer just about PR or advertising or marketing or social media or direct. It's about the conversation. Many old-timers have a problem accepting that reality.
Jepotts on June 16, 2011 at 9:58 am said:
Oops, I meant "lack an appreciation", not like.
In fairness to my younger counterparts, I've encountered older PR professionals who also like an appreciation for their organization's strategic goals. They assume that only the marketing folks have to worry about that, and insist on maintaining the artificial barrier between the two functions.

tomorrow is a VERY big day and I thought I would share what I am about to take on. At IMMT I qualified for KONA (as a lot of you probably already know) and tomorrow I will be racing in the Ironman World Championship in Kona. It is an absolute DREAM come true!!! I believed I could qualify for Kona at IMMT and I made it happen. Hard work really does pay off and I am here racing in Kona because I belong here. I earned this and I can't wait to race out there tomorrow with everyone else who has worked so hard to be here.
Special thanks to Team Coeur for being so awesome here in Kona ALL season long!! Also a big thank you to Coach Jorge from E3Training Solutions who helped get me to the Big Island.
Looking forward to the big dance tomorrow and having the best day of my life. You only get one "first kona" and I plan to take it ALL in, while racing very smart. It's going to be an AMAZING day!!!
You can track me tomorrow on ironman.com. There will be a live tracking site all day long, including a GPS tracking, where you can see my every move on the course (how cool is that?!).
Tomorrow I'll be running my third consecutive Boston Marathon.
Two years ago was my first Boston and my first marathon EVER. It was 2013, the year tragedy struck our city and our race. Having run the race that year, and being from Boston, it's something that I will never forget. It took weeks for me to feel happy about my accomplishment that year, I just couldn't think about anything else than the awful events that happened. I ran the race in 3:28. I ran a smart race, doing a 'negative split' and running my second half slower than the first half. This is the ideal way to run Boston.
This year… I feel the best I've ever felt before. If all goes well, tomorrow should line up to be a great race! The weather looks, um, not so pleasant. But that's ok, I've trained in the cold, the snow and the rain. I'm pretty much ready for anything mother nature sends my way. I will have fun out there no matter what! It's supposed to be in the low 40's to start, with rain beginning shortly into my run. Boston has a late start and I'll be starting around 10:30 AM. The rain is supposed to continue throughout the entire race, getting steadier and steadier as we go. Along with the rain, it will be nice and windy… well it's a good thing I won't be on my bike!
I START at 10:25 AM from Hopkinton !
Sign up by texting my bib number (13114) to 234567 or download the BAA Boston Marathon App and search my name or number.
You can also track on baa.org on race day!
Thanks for all the virtual cheering… it means the world to me!!
So hard to believe I am in the teens when it comes to weeks counting down to IMMT! Time is flyin' by!
Last week was a very successful week of training. I had the week off from work (in between my old job and new job), so this gave me lots of time to train on my own agenda. I felt well rested, averaging 9+ hours of sleep a night- boy did I need that! It's amazing how much better you feel when you are well rested…. who knew?! 🙂 Fast forward to this current week, and I'm slacking in the sleep department. New job + longer commute + same training = less sleep + a tired Kristin. I know I will get in a groove, but this week has been hard! I need to figure out a solution soon because training is going to really start ramping up!
Ok here's what I was up to last week, when I had all the time in the world to get my training (and recovery) done.
Wednesday + Friday Masters Practice!
Feeling fantastic in the water. I'm continuing to lead sets for my lane and I'm gaining confidence week after week.
Tuesday + Thursday = Intervals! Each workout 1:00 hour long for intervals.
I had to get up nice and early and ride, because of Easter Sunday. I did my long run the day before, but my legs were surprisingly fresh! I didn't even really have soreness. It was also a nice way to 'shake out' the legs after a long run day.
This week I've been off from work, it's my 'transition week' before starting my NEW job on Monday! I tend to forget that being home for a week can sometimes be more stressful than it is relaxing. I had a to-do list about a mile long.. from appointments to errands, the list was endless. The great thing about have a week off is, being able to fit my training in whenever I want, lots of flexibility. I've been sleeping a ton (yay!) and I've had extra time for TLC like stretching and foam rolling.
Continuing to see progress and loving my time in the pool. Monday was a nice recovery swim. On Wednesday and Friday I went to Masters Practice. On Saturday, I did a 2,800 yard swim with focus on pulling and paddles:) My average pace at most of my Masters Practice's is 1:27-1:30 per 100 yards. I am leading freestyle 200's at 2:45 per 200 yards. I am able to hold a fast pace for a long period of time, which tells me I am getting efficient and very in shape in the water. Boo-yah!
Coach Jorge has me biking on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (for the most part). On Tuesday, I thought I was going to die during the workout, literally. I am doing intense workouts during the week to build my POWER! Needless to say, it's not easy and sometimes I feel like puking.
This was the most challenging bike session of the week… a lot of time in my 'High Threshold' zone which is roughly 160-166 bpm… holy smokes it was hard!
On Thursday I did more of an endurance ride at z2 heart rate. Saturday was more of Z2, steady state heart rate, but for a longer period of time (2.5 hours). I finally found a new Netflix series that makes the time go by, Bloodline. You should check it out!
Running mileage ended up being low last week. I was supposed to do my 21 mile long run, but my body had different ideas. My legs were not feeling the long run, and I listened to them. As a result, I did some 30 minute easy runs during the week and moved the long run to this weekend. Instead of my long run on this past Sunday, I rode my bike for 1.5 hours and then did some water running for 45 minutes. Water running is NO joke! Talk about sucking wind.
After my Sunday training sessions, Todd and I went to the TriMANIA Expo in Boston. It was fun to walk around and see different triathlon vendors! We didn't end up listening to any of the speakers, unfortunately. My FAVORITE part of the expo was trying on the Normatec Recovery Boots. I've been wanting to try these boots for years now and I finally got the chance. We waited in line for maybe 10 minutes and then had the boots on for roughly 20 minutes. They feel unbelievable. I describe it like having a blood pressure cuff around your legs, that's massaging you from your feet to your hips… mmm soo good!
The science behind Normatec is fascinating.. you can read all about it here.
I would love to own a pair of these bad boys one day!
Have you ever tried Normatec boots?
Do you like water running?
Last Saturday I ditched my bike workout for a hike instead! I could not have been happier with this decision, coach approved of course:) Truth be told, if I were not training for an Ironman, I would probably hike every single weekend.
We were a little weary of the conditions, since it was supposed to snow Saturday in Massachusetts, but saw that in New Hampshire conditions looked pretty calm, so we took a chance. The White Mountains (aka The Whites) are about 2.5 hours from where we live in Mass, so the conditions can vary drastically from one location to the other. Usually it's more stormy in the mountains, but this time it was the reverse. We lucked out with temps in the 30's, no wind, and perfectly well-packed trails. Even though it was a cloudy day, visibility was still very good. It's always a gamble when you hike in the White Mountains (or any mountain for that matter). Of course, it's nice when you have one of those 'bluebird sky' days, but sometimes the cloudiest days make for the most beautiful hikes…and the starkest contrast. This was the case with Cannon on Saturday!
We picked Cannon mountain because it's known for it's views, challenging trails and it's a convenient location with lots of parking (right off the highway). Also we had never done this hike before and we are working on our 48 list. The plan was a 9:30 AM start with Todd, our friend Steve and our two pups.
Cannon is also a Ski Mountain, but where you hike is on the other side (not up the ski slope:)) I had always heard the conditions on Cannon can be very treacherous (steep trails, high winds), so we lucked out with the conditions we had on Saturday.
There are a few different ways to hike up Cannon. We chose the Lonesome Lake Trail to the Kinsman Ridge Trail. This trail approach was 3.1 miles one way, equaling 6.2 mile round trip.
At the start of the hike, the Lonesome Lake Trail climbs moderately, until you reach Lonesome Lake. When we got there, we were literally the only people at the lake, it was so peaceful!
It was approximately 1.2 miles from the Lafayette Campground parking lot to the lake. It actually climbs quite steadily the entire way to the lake, which I wasn't expecting (ensue quad burning). We enjoyed a quick snack and continued on our way towards the Kinsman Ridge Trail.
The Kinsman Ridge trail continued on for 1.9 miles until reaching the Cannon Summit. Honestly, this trail did not really let up, AT ALL until we got .5 miles from the observation tower. At some points it was straight vertical and it felt like it was the steepest trail I've ever hiked (seriously). We wore microspikes over our hiking boots, which helped with traction. Snowshoes weren't needed as the trail was completely packed down. We had wished we brought out more serious crampon spikes for the VERY steep and icy sections. Todd actually had to carry Oliver at some points because it was too steep for the little guy! It was almost too steep for us too, ha! When the trail is super steep like this, it's a constant calf stretch, at least it feels that way. I'm also pretty sure I was working at a high heart rate for most of this hike, definitely anaerobic most of the time going up.
Here are some of my favorite photos from the day… it's more fun with a go-pro and a selfie stick! The Summit has a great look out tower, which made it extra special. Views were 360 degrees and we had a clear view of Franconia Ridge in the distance.
Snowy pup… Oliver is wearing his Ruff Wear Quinzee jacket over his Ruffwear Cloud Chaser Jacket. For his little paws, we have Pawks socks underneath, with PAWZ rubber booties on top. I'm happy to say we've finally found the perfect combination for keeping him a warm & happy pup!
The way down was A LOT faster than the way up. Partially because we slid on our bums going down for some of the steep sections… dangerous, but fun! I don't think I could have gone down without sliding on my a$% for part of the way. I actually slipped at one point, while trying to walk down the trail and ended up crashing down, my leg whacking against a tree. Luckily I just walked away with only some scrapes and bruises.
Winter hiking can be dangerous, and you have to be so careful (and VERY prepared). Conditions can change within an INSTANT you need to have extra clothing and supplies on hand. We keep our water in our packs this time of year so it's doesn't freeze.
After four hours in the woods, we reached the parking lot. What a fantastic day it was! We reached out 37th 4,000 footer (Oliver reached his 34th!).

This Week In St. Louis 11/2/15 - 11/8/15
Blight Future
Path of Might
@ Dugan Haus
8 p.m. / donation$ / all ages
At one point, Temple from Wisconsin was on this show but the band had to cancel their tour, so the locals decided to just have a show anyway. Free, BYOB and at a house in Tower Grove South. Hit the link for an address/directions. Half of Blight Future just finished their Rage Against The Machine cover set, so maybe they'll break out "Killing In The Name Of" or that one song that was on the Matrix. Probably not, though.
The Funs
Trauma Harness
The Bubbleheads
@ Bonerville
10 p.m. / $5 / all ages
The Funs have been on tour for a solid month slinging their new double LP, and this show is a proper homecoming with Trauma Harness and the newish kids on the block, the Bubbleheads. Drag, the latest project from Nick Goldschmidt (Posture, Smallpox Champion, Burners) opens the show.
Way Out Wednesday #2 feat.:
Whsky Janetor
Dave Stone
Brandywine River
David Bell + Joe Hess
@ Way Out Club / 2525 S. Jefferson Ave.
9 p.m. / $5 / 21+
Way Out Wednesday is a new monthly experimental music series by David Bell, the proprietor of the Paradoxal Pterodactyl podcast. The Way Out Club was a hotbed for weirder bands roughly 15 years ago, and this recurring show plans to build on that legacy. This month's edition sees the leading ladies of weird, Whsky Janetor, along with saxophone legend Dave Stone and more.
Ahleuchatistas (NC)
Demonlover
@ Foam / 3359 S. Jefferson Ave.
8 p.m. / $7 / all ages
Ahleuchatistas have been hitting St. Louis for more than a decade, but it's only in the past year that people have really started to take notice. Through its early days as a heavy, spazzed-out math trio to its current duo of guitar and drums, the band has undergone several changes but always maintained a distinct style, owing to founding member Shane Perlowin. The video above is a pretty good measuring stick of what's to come.
New Music Circle presents:
@ Pulitzer Arts Foundation / 3716 Washington Blvd.
8 p.m. / $10-$20 / all ages
From New Music Circle's promotion of the show: A 1970s contemporary of Terry Riley and Steve Reich, spontaneous-composer and multi-instrumentalist Charlemagne Palestine has developed a unique, highly eclectic style of his own, based upon broad sonorities and effects. For Palestine, who also has a strong background in the visual arts, including film (his works have been shown at MoMA and the 2014 Whitney Biennial), the performance space, itself, has become a critically important element of his presentations, and this should be evident at both St. Louis events.
Whether you can or can't make the first show, consider the second performance taking place Sunday night at 7 p.m. at the Historic Trinity Lutheran Church (812 Soulard Street). A church organ set with an actual organ in an actual church.
Mouth Reader (Murfreesboro, TN)
Outside World (New York City, NY)
Shitstorm
Maximum Effort
With warbling vocals and a straight-ahead rhythm section, Mouth Reader teeters on the edge of shoegaze and straight-up punk by bringing an enormous tone and wrapping it locked beats. The songs are short and succinct but stay around long enough to get stuck to your skill. The local lineup is just as jammin', as Shitstorm and Max Eff are two of St. Louis' most reliable bands in the punk set. Don't be a cheapskate, $7 is a real bargain. Show starts early 7, don't mess up.


This is the first UV-curable inkjet printer to use Epson printheads that has come close to production. The first Eastech with Epson printheads has not often been exhibited. The Zund XY was shown at DRUPA 2004 but never again. It failed totally.
The Eastech Tina reminds me of the Dilli Jupiter and all the previous Mimaki printers: namely a smallish rectangular platform and a large carriage. However overall the Eastech is less bulky in size.
Eastech samples printed on different substrate at DRUPA 2008.

Strong Motion by Jonathan Franzen
Jonathan Franzen, the best-selling, critically lauded author of The Corrections and Freedom, also penned two other long novels before he "hit the big time". First, The 27th City, an in-depth exploration of late 80s St Louis and, second, Strong Motion. This is by far the better book, and a much clearer signifier of the potentiality for (generally agreed) greatness in his later works.
Strong Motion straddles the gap between Franzen's debut and his later, family-focused pieces. It is a text with a large cast of characters, overblown environmental storylines, a focus on the affluent, multiple characters who are academics, adultery, people behaving awfully and a small amount of violent tragedy that doesn't really fit. (Read Freedom for an even more erroneous instance of that.) It's very typical. For Franzen.
Now, as the above knowledge of all four novels implies, I like Franzen. I find his prose engaging, often funny and frequently moving. I feel he discusses numerous aspects of contemporary life in an intriguing – if sometimes insincere – way. I like the issues he raises, the subjects he engages with. And I enjoy his articulate, yet very readable, style.
I didn't enjoy The 27th City – I felt it was too big, more difficult than it needed to be and often felt a bit fake, overambitious… Like the work of a young novelist aiming for something a little out of reach. Which it was. His second, however, includes some aspects he would shed before focusing in detail on families in his two more recent tomes.
Strong Motion is about earthquakes, corruption, inheritance and relationships in the Boston area in the early nineties. Parts are very good, but Franzen feels obliged to try and take his readers deep into the psyche of every character he introduces… Which makes for, in places, a clunky, almost tiresome read. But it is enjoyable. And it is good.
For anyone who has read and enjoyed his two famous ones, this is worth having a look at, even if just to see the beginnings of his distinct style. For general readers, go for one of the big two.

Исфейлион () — суб-королевство, зависимое от королевства Гвинед. Образовалось в V веке, охватывало территорию острова Англси и противоположного берега Менай.

История
В V веке остров Англси был освобожден от ирландцев. После смерти Кунедды этот остров стал владением одного из его многочисленных сыновей — Исфаэла. После его смерти ирландцам удалось занять часть острова. Но Мейлир, сын Исфаэла, вместе со своими братьями Киниром и Инеигром и кузеном Кадваллоном, освободили Инис Мон от ирландцев. Обычно после этого государство называется Мейлирионом.

Правители
 Исфаэл Герой (445—500)

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) — For the third year in a row, the University of Florida climbed in the U.S. News & World Report Top Public Schools rankings, climbing to No. 7.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made the announcement on campus Monday morning.
UF has appeared in the top-10 rankings of national public universities for the third consecutive year. UF remained the most highly ranked university in Florida and the only university in the state in the top 10.
The 2020 U.S. News top-10 list:
1 – University of California, Los Angeles
2 – University of California, Berkeley
3 – University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
4 – University of Virginia
5 – Georgia Institute of Technology
5 – University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
7 – University of Florida
7 – University of California, Santa Barbara
9 – University of California, Irvine
10 – University of California, San Diego
Note: Georgia Institute of Technology and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill tied at 5th. University of Florida and University of California, Santa Barbara tied at 7th.
Last year, UF tied with Georgia Tech for the 8th spot and two years ago tied for the 9th spot with the University of California, Irvine and the University of California, San Diego.
Other Florida schools also improved in their U.S. News rankings. Florida State University climbed to No. 18 from No. 26 last year, the University of South Florida improved to 44th from 58th and the University of Central Florida went from 87th to 79th.
The U.S. News Rankings were measured using six categories: outcomes, faculty resources, expert opinion, financial resources, student excellence and alumni giving.
In a press release, UF President Kent Fuchs said in a statement, "Our faculty and staff continue to do amazing work, and the latest U.S. News ranking is a wonderful affirmation of that," Fuchs said. "The rankings are also an indicator of our national stature among the nation's very best research universities, the quality of the education our students are receiving and the steadily increasing value of a University of Florida degree."

An apparently hallucinating Florida man used a bedpost to attack a mattress where he thought a man was hiding. In a Facebook post, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's office quotes the girlfriend of 37-year-old Felipe Oquendo as saying that he began acting erratically early Friday. The girlfriend told deputies Oquendo thought she was cheating on him with a man he thought he saw in the mattress at their Fort Walton Beach home. She said Oquendo hit the mattress with a bed post, ripped it apart, and locked the bedroom door. She was able to escape and call police. The sheriff's office says Oquendo later admitted to having smoked meth. (https://bit.ly/2XKnPhE)

I'll bet when you put in eye drops, a bunch spills out and runs down your face. That's not on accident. A ProPublica investigation on how billions of health care dollars are wasted each year, finds that eye drops are way too big - some of them more than twice what the eye can actually hold - resulting in drainage and waste. A lot of waste, considering US drug companies made $3.4 billion last year on drops for dry eyes and glaucoma alone. Not only are users paying for the drops that end up wiped on a tissue, but the waste can have a serious impact on patients like Gregory Matthews, who has glaucoma and sometimes runs out of drops before his refill is available. Using eye drops consistently is important for glaucoma patients, because they help keep blindness at bay. Making matters worse? Smaller drops are possible. In the early 1990s, a "microdrop" was developed, and studies conclusively found patients were able to administer it safely and effectively, leaving no waste. But it never came to market, and experts say that's because drug companies are greedy and more concerned with profits than patients. The same size bottle of eye drops could now last up to twice as long if microdrops were used.

Kerr and Didiano were arrested in mid-December, shortly after Martin Correctional Institution (MCI) staffers spotted a drone hovering over the facility around 2:00 a.m. Jailers were suspicious that the drone was "possibly delivering a package to the rooftop of one of the inmate housing facilities." Investigators subsequently recovered the drone's cargo--a package containing tobacco and cell phones. The drone, a Matrice 600 outfitted with a payload release mechanism, was later destroyed when it was somehow struck by a car traveling near the prison entrance.

A Florida man was arrested after threatening to kill two lawn care workers for leaving grass clippings on the walkway of his home. According to Hernando County deputies, 49-year-old Anthony Sabella had two men provide lawn care service to him at his home located on Finsbury Drive. According to police reports, he called one of the workers, saying they had left grass clippings on his walkway. When the men returned to clean up the grass, they were met by Sabella shouting at them and using racial slurs. The workers then reported leaving the home and calling 9-1-1 after Sabella followed them in his vehicle and pointed a gun at them, threatening to kill the men. The case was turned over to Major Case detectives, who got a warrant for his arrest after deputies said they tried to contact Sabella but couldn't. Last Thursday, deputies and detectives waited for Sabella to leave his home. When he did, he was stopped and arrested. Sabella was charged with possession of a firearm/ammunition by a felon and two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm. He is being held without bail. (https://bit.ly/2IMjU0h)

A Pasco County, Florida man accused of trying to shoplift more than $4,000 worth of merchandise from a New Port Richey Walmart blamed his blood sugar and diabetes for making him do it. Lawrence Fruggiero Jr. was arrested and charged with grand theft on April 19th after investigators say he tried to steal a total of $2,098.50 worth of merchandise in two separate attempts. Arrest records indicate one of the incidents happened on April 16th, and the second happened the day of his arrest. Fruggiero was able to post his bond and was released from jail. Deputies say as they continued their investigation into the two incidents, they became aware of two additional times that Fruggiero attempted to shoplift from the same Walmart. Arrest warrants suggest he attempted to take a total of $2,385.26 worth of merchandise in the two additional tries. He was then arrested again on April 25th and charged with scheming to defraud. An arrest report says after being read his Miranda rights, Fruggiero said he did not remember committing the additional thefts because of his blood sugar and diabetes which make him not always know what he is doing.

Broadway: New York, New York
Broadway, a metaphor for the city it runs through, has undergone many changes since Native Americans walked its path. The street is home to iconic public spaces, world-renowned cultural institutions, and an abundance of architecturally significant buildings along its 14-mile stretch. The street hosts world-renowned events for hundreds of thousands of people, houses fabric suppliers patronized by famous designers, is home to highly competitive academic institutions, and encourages shoppers to purchase anything they desire. Broadway also welcomes residents and visitors to sit comfortably on a bench surrounded by greenery in a space carved out of its wide berth.
Designated Area
Begins in Lower Manhattan at Bowling Green and travels north for approximately 14 miles where it exits the borough at West 230th Street in Marble Hill.

Planning Excellence
Broadway is one of the oldest roadways in New York City. Parts of the street date back to pre-colonial times when the Weckquaesgeek Chief walked south from present-day Dobbs Ferry, New York. Near the end of the 19th century, Broadway was completed by connecting several separate road segments, including the original Native American footpath.
From Columbus Circle to Union Square, Broadway runs on an east to west diagonal cutting across New York City's dominant street grid system. Where Broadway crosses an Avenue it creates a "square." These complicated crossings have plagued traffic planners and engineers since the inception of the grid system in 1811. In fact, the 1811 commissioners did not want Broadway to exist in its "un-gridlike" form and tried to straighten out the road above 14th Street. Fortunately, from a public space perspective, they were unsuccessful. Four of Broadway's best known squares — Union, Madison, Herald, and Times — have unique personalities, define neighborhoods, and remain centers of activity day and night.
South of Union Square the roadway continues on a straight path directly to the southern tip of the island. North of Columbus Circle the road widens and converts to a boulevard up to 170th Street where it veers west and continues on into the Bronx.
Improving motor vehicle traffic and pedestrian circulation along the corridor, particularly in Times and Herald Squares, has been a focus of traffic engineers and planners for decades. In 2008 and 2009, the New York City Department of Transportation implemented several transformative projects along the Broadway corridor: one in the Madison Square Area between 5th Avenue and E. 23rd Street, the other between W. 47th Street and W. 33rd Street. Each of these projects redirected vehicular traffic patterns on Broadway, in some locations completely closing the roadway to vehicles.
Newly created spaces were carved out and converted into pedestrian-only plazas for walkers, cyclists, and passersby lounging in moveable seating. The project was widely successful, not only because of its public space creation but also for safety and mobility enhancements. It has since been made more permanent by expansion throughout other portions of Broadway.

Defining Characteristics, Features
Originally a Native American footpath called the Wickquasgeck Trail traversing the length of Manhattan
When the Dutch founded New Amsterdam at the southern tip of Manhattan in 1626, the trail became the main road through the island of Manhattan
Broadway, as it is known today, was completed at the end of the 19th century by joining Broadway, Eastern Post Road, Bloomingdale Road, and Western Boulevard or "The Boulevard"
The term Broadway was first used to describe the entire stretch of the roadway in 1899
Significant Architecture
City Hall, located in City Hall Park, is the oldest functioning city hall in the United States (1812)
Trinity Church, designed by architect Richard Upjohn (1846), is the third church on this site; the first Trinity Church was constructed in 1698
Grace Church, was designed by architect James Renwick, Jr. (1847); the French Gothic Revival church has been called "one of the city's greatest treasures"
Ansonia Hotel designed by architect Paul E.M. Duboy as a luxury residential hotel (1899)
Flatiron Building was designed by architect Daniel Burnham (1902); the iconic building is known for its triangular design and is one of the most photographed buildings in New York City
Manhattan Valley Viaduct (1904); an arched structure that allows subway trains to remain level when crossing the Manhattan Valley
Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House was designed by architect Cass Gilbert (1907); the Beaux-Arts style building contains works from well-known artists of the time, including Daniel Chester French
Woolworth Building was constructed in 1913 as the headquarters for the F.W. Woolworth company; the neo-Gothic style building held the title of world's tallest from 1913 to 1930
R.H. Macy & Company is the flagship department store of Macy's; at 2.2 million square feet it held the title of world's largest department store from 1924 until 2009
Morningside Gardens Houses (1957) is a development containing six separate apartment buildings; known as one of the first owner-occupied co-ops in the city
Marine Midland Building, a prominent example of mid-20th century modernism; designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore Owings and Merrill (1968)
SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District was designated in 1973; now contains the largest collection of buildings with cast-iron facades in the world
Ladies' Mile Historic District was designated in 1989; and preserves buildings that were once home to New York's most famous departments stores
Columbia University, founded in 1754; the Ivy League university is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States
Canyon of Heroes is the portion of Broadway between Bowling Green and City Hall, which serves as the traditional parade route of the city's ticker-tape parades that have celebrated sports championships, the end of World War II, and the Apollo 11 astronauts, among many others
Times Square at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue is often called the "Crossroads of the World"; upwards of 39 million visitors annually; hosts the New Year's Eve "ball drop" at midnight
Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is a complex of buildings with 30 performance facilities including the Metropolitan Opera House, David H. Koch Theater, and Avery Fisher Hall
Numerous parks, including Fort Tryon (home of The Cloisters), Inwood Hill, and Isham; all once housed country estates that were eventually bought up or donated to the city to create a continuous stretch of parkland along the Hudson River

Q: How to deal with dynamic allocation when implementing list of objects? I had to implement a function that looked like this:
MyList * sum (MyList * l1, MyList * l2) {
    MyList * newlist = new MyList();
    //Adds two objects and place the result in a third new list
    return newlist;
}

The function took two lists and placed the sum of each object into a new list. The MyList class had nodes with pointers to the next variable and the objects inside the list were user defined.
And that got me thinking - how should I deal with the dynamic allocation of memory from the objects and the list itself?  Since I had to create memory for each of the objects of the new list.
Is there any way to place the values of the sum of objects in the new list without having to rely on dynamic allocation? Maybe by doing something like this:
Object result(node1->content + node2->content);
Node->content = &result; // will this object be erased when the function ends?

instead of this:
Node->content = new Object(node1->content + node2->content);

How should I deal with the lifetime of the new list created inside of the function in relation to the variable that will hold the memory after the function ends? Can I do something like this when returning the new list?
MyList & sum (MyList * l1, MyList * l2) {
    //Create variable without allocating memory and return it's reference
}

In short, my main doubt is how to deal with the lifetime of an object that is created inside a function and will be held by other object.

A: Node->content = &result; // will this object be erased when the function ends?

Yes, since it's a local variable. As soon as its function terminates, so does result's lifetime.

MyList & sum (MyList * l1, MyList * l2) {
    //Create variable without allocating memory and return it's reference
}

This will fail too, for similar reasons as the above.

I suggest you use std::shared_ptr or std::unique_ptr. If you wish, read Differences between unique_ptr and shared_ptr.

A:
Object result(node1->content + node2->content);
Node->content = &result; // will this object be erased when the function ends?

Yes, if result is created inside the function body with the syntax shown above, it will be destroyed when the function ends.
This is the reason why you should use new and dynamic allocation: in this way, your objects are created on the heap (instead of the local function stack), and they "survive" the end of the function in which they are created. And you can pass the returned pointer back to the caller. Of course, the caller has to properly delete the returned pointer, else you end up having memory (or other resource) leaks.
In modern C++, you should use already-defined smart pointer classes, like std::shared_ptr or std::unique_ptr, and your code should almost never use explicit new and delete (unless you are developing some custom highly-optimized data structure, and you need low-level finer-grained control on memory allocations - and, even in this case, the explicit code invoking new and delete should be safely wrapped inside RAII class boundaries).
However, it seems to me that your code is more like a programming exercise, and probably the purpose of this exercise is to learn dynamic memory allocations with explicit new and delete. In fact, in production-quality code, instead of rolling your own list class, you can use an already available standard linked-list class template, like std::list.


The Dodgers staved off elimination and defeated the Nationals, 6-5, in Game 4 of the NLDS. Game 5 is in Washington D.C. on Thursday. Will the Dodgers win the series?
It was a rainy night in St. Louis. It was a chilly night against the New York Mets. It was every wretched night in every Dodgers heartbreak for the last three Octobers.
It was overworked Clayton Kershaw wilting and his relievers stepping upon his slumped figure. It was the Dodgers blowing another lead, another series, another season. It was everything an instantly quiet and brooding Dodger Stadium crowd had come to expect, the disillusionment, the debacle, the end.
Then, on two wings and three prayers, it wasn't.
A couple of relievers stopped the bleeding. A trio of hitters opened a wound on the other guys. Soon, thousands were hugging and Randy Newman was singing and autumn lived.
Suddenly, Clayton Kershaw found his smile.
"I'm exhausted, physically and mentally drained, but we live another day," he said.
Suddenly, Justin Turner said his team had shown its heart.
"When stuff's gone bad, we just dig in deeper," he said.
It wasn't history, it was the Dodgers defying history, with their will and work ethic and maybe a little bit of wizardy. Instead of somber elimination, it was jubilant survival, a Dodgers team pushed to the brink of elimination that finally pushed back.
They were down, they were up, they were tied, but, in the end, they were magic, defeating the Washington Nationals, 6-5, on Tuesday afternoon to knot the five-game National League division series at two games apiece.
"If anyone gives up on this team, they haven't seen us play a whole lot this year," Manager Dave Roberts said.
Everyone will see the Dodgers play at least one more time, in a deciding Game 5 at Nationals Park on Thursday, the same sort of Game 5 where they faltered last season against the Mets.
But, bless my Utley, Tuesday perhaps showed that this is not last season.
"We have a thing for the dramatic," Turner said with a shaggy red grin.
For the fourth consecutive autumn, Kershaw was trying to save the season while pitching on three days' rest, and he was doing a pretty good job of it, holding a 5-2 lead with two out in the seventh inning, when the Nationals loaded the bases on two singles and a walk.
Roberts pulled Kershaw, which was smart, but then brought in Pedro Baez instead of the more consistent Joe Blanton, which was not so wise. Blanton is usually the eighth-inning guy but this was a high-leverage situation and exceptions could have been made and, well, you can guess what happened.
Baez hit Jayson Werth in the elbow to push across a run. Luis Avilan was rushed in to face the left-handed Daniel Murphy, who drove a ball into left field to drive in two runs and tie the score.
Finally, finally, Blanton was brought to the mound, but by then Kershaw was rubbing his face in the dugout and the other Dodgers were treading lightly upon the crust of a collapse.
"We still had energy, it was still a tie game, we still had a chance to win, still had outs left," said Turner, later adding, "There is no room for feeling sorry for ourselves or 'poor me.' If we had that outlook, we'd be packing up our lockers and going home today."
Blanton instead packed up the Nationals' rally, striking out Anthony Rendon to end the seventh inning, then retiring all three batters in the eighth.
"We just showed the ability to kind of keep trucking along," Blanton said.
That big rig rolled right over the Nationals in the bottom of the eighth, steered by two unlikely guys who have epitomized the success of this unusual roster.
Andrew Toles, whose first 22 games this season were played at Class-A Rancho Cucamonga, hung tough enough to get hit by a bounching curveball from Blake Treinen.
Andre Ethier, who sat out most of the season because of a broken leg and wound up with only 26 plate appearance, stepped in as a pinch-hitter for his first plate appearance of the postseason and promptly smacked a single to left-center field through a hole in the defensive shift.
"All about finding ways to win," Turner said.
Then came the final blow, struck by a guy whose previous big Dodgers postseason blow was a vicious slide, Utley calmly driving in Toles with a single to right, then calmly discussing it in vivid detail.
"Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't, today it did," said the understated Utley, who put the final scoop on the cone with a lunging toss to Kenley Jansen covering first base to end the game on a Bryce Harper grounder.
In less than 48 hours, the Dodgers will have to fly across the country to face ace Max Scherzer while probably countering with Rich Hill, who will be starting on three days' rest for the first time in a decade. Also available will be 20-year-old Julio Urias, who would be making his postseason debut.
Sounds difficult. But after Game 4, these Dodgers are convinced anything is possible.
Just ask Roberts, who admitted that he was as emotionally drained as the players.
"Us playing on the road to win one game. … I like our guys," Roberts said.
Just ask Adrian Gonzalez, whose two-run homer set the Dodgers up for their early lead, and who is looking forward to another meeting with Scherzer.
"We beat him once already, we know we can do it," Gonzalez said. "We put some pretty good at-bats against him in Game 1 and I'm confident that we can do it again."
Finally, just ask Turner, who said flatly, "We're going to go and beat Scherzer again."
When asked by The Times' Andy McCullough whether he was seriously offering a public guarantee, Turner stood by his story.
"I'm not going to stand here and predict we're going to lose," Turner said.
How could he? Not after Tuesday, which represented new life, new hope, and, who knows, maybe even a new October.

FREE HENRY BRAILEY
0 have signed. Let's get to 1,000!
At 1,000 signatures, this petition is more likely to be featured in recommendations!
1619, Inc. started this petition to Hon. Ralph Northam, Governor of the State of Virginia
Henry C. Brailey should immediately be released from his unjust and excessive prison sentence of 93 years for bank robbery given the disparity in sentencing of two white females who also robbed the same bank.
Ashling Goode, a white female who was a codefendant of Henry Brailey was acquitted of the bank robbery and other charges against her although her Black boyfriend whose actions were identical to Ashling was found guilty and sentenced to 18 years.
A brief description of these robberies will be helpful in understanding the race and gender disparity. In 2006, Henry Brailey and three (3) others including Ashling Goode robbed a SunTrust Bank in Hanover County, Virginia which is about nine (9) miles north of Richmond. Henry went into the bank armed with a pellet gun with his then girlfriend, Maggie Jones. There were no shots fired by the pellet gun during the robbery and no one was physically injured.
The bank tellers put cash in a bag supplied by Henry along with, a dye pack and an explosive device. The bag exploded shortly after Henry and Maggie left the bank. Maggie's 17-year-old son Robert Jones and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Ashling Goode, were positioned in the parking lot of a nearby school in Ashling's green Honda, which was going to be used as a "switch car".
After Henry and Maggie arrived in the school parking lot, they switched cars and left in Ashling's car while Robert and Ashling left in Henry's SUV. The police were given a description of the SUV by bank employees and when it was spotted pursued the vehicle. When Robert and Ashling became aware they were being pursued, they stopped the SUV in the middle of the-road and ran into the woods. They returned shortly to the SUV which was surrounded by the police and turned themselves in. Ashling told the police that she was aware of the robbery prior to it taking place and participated by using her car as a switch vehicle. Henry and Maggie were later stopped by the police in Richmond in Ashling's vehicle.
Henry and Maggie were indicted and tried in the Hanover County Circuit Court after waiving trial by jury. Because Maggie was well disguised, she was not credibly identified and the court acquitted her. Henry however was convicted on all charges and was sentenced to 93 years in prison with 53 years suspended for the rest of his life. Henry is currently serving an active sentence of 40 years. Maggie was later indicted for bank robbery in federal court in Richmond and received a six (6) year sentence.
In December 2010, Tori Pollard a white female robbed two banks in the span of two weeks, one in Spotsylvania County Virginia and the other was the same SunTrust Bank that Henry robbed in Hanover County in 2006. She was sentenced to serve less than four years for each of the robberies. Given the disparity in sentencing based on race and gender, Henry C. Brailey's sentence should be commuted to time served.
We have uploaded the entire court records of the robberies in 2006 and 2010 on the website and you are free to review those documents. In 2010, a white female, Tori Pollard was found guilty of robbing two separate banks within 2 weeks of each other and one of the banks was the same bank that Henry robbed four years earlier was sentenced to serve less than four years for each of the robberies. Given the disparity in sentencing based on race and gender, Henry C. Brailey's sentence should be commuted to time served.
