The statement below was taken from a very good article I found on the invention of the standing seam roof panel.
Any deterioration of the sealant in these endlap joints would permit wind gusts to drive water into the joints, causing leakage. At numerous places along the roof, there are areas where two end panels and two adjacent side panels form a four-corner intersection. This area is particularly difficult to seal. Watertightness of the roof has been a recurring problem in standing seam roofs.
I would say I agree with the above article. I would like to add that if an improper amount of mastic or none at all existed in the panel then this would cause leaks by wind driven rain as well.

I am going to rethink how to fight this injustice. Friends I thought were friends are not. They are acquaintances. That is OK , My friend is my wife as it should be and she is afraid for my life as she knows what MBCI and their lies have done to me. She knows that I would fight NCI /Mbci to my last breath as I believe in fighting for the truth. I fought and have continued to fight for more than 5 years. I went to Tim McElroy for the truth about Ultra Deck and he told me that it was developed as a roof to compete with the Butler MR 24 which by the way is a water barrier roof. I went to Leo Neyer, who developed the Ultra Deck, and he told me that he is the man who built the water tank and submerged the ultra deck under water and that it was a hydrostatic roof (water barrier). Terry Wolfe (owner of Force Engineering) emailed me stating that anyone who says that 1/4:12 is not hydrostatic is insane, he even said to use the definitions from Fema. I even spoke with the project manager from Locke Bowden and she told me that 1/4:12 is hydrostatic. Wolfe, Bowden and Faranbaugh all approve this roof for sale in Florida at 1/4:12 and Florida says 1/4:12 is hydrostatic. Whirlwind Steel also said their version of Ultra Deck is hydrostatic as has Central States. I know the truth and so do the executives at NCI/MBCI. They are cowards and sold me roofs that did not meet their own standards ( written in letter from Andrew Costa): Mr. Costa was the General Counsel of MBCI. The chairman of the board of NCI, Norm Chambers and the board of directors are covering up the truth about the Ultra Deck and the problems with this roof. It did not just start in 2008 but years before, I know because I have 200 internal emails that tell the story about the problem and the cover up.
Don't you think it strange that MBCI said I owed them $ 360,000.00 : The exact amount of money with held from me by the owners because of leaks at the side laps of Ultra Deck. Now I built buildings across the United States and in Canada. Dozens of suppliers and every one got paid, 30 years and paid the invoices. I however did not pay for defective material or pay an invoice unless it was correct. Mbci sent a roof inspector to Florida, he opened the roof and said there was not enough sealant and he noted several area where he got the roof to leak with nothing more than a water hose. Wayne Dickinson admitted to me he had a major problem at production facilities because Kenny Buchinger told him another roof I had in Florida had the same problem. Wayne Dickinson was shocked because the roofs came from two different manufacturing plants. In court they did not tell the truth. They said Ultra Deck needs no sealant period. Now I know that is not true as does any engineer, Terry Wolfe, Daniel Faranbaugh, Locke Bowden, Tim McElroy. Even the judge knew it because he read the 200 documents. The ICC ,ASTM , MBMA, and the International Building Code know that Ultra Deck must have mastic. But MBCI told the court it does nor need mastic and if it did then Wayne Dickinson said he would not have sued me and would have replaced my customers roofs. I challenge the new president of MBCI and all the salesmen who beat a path to my door to be honest and tell the truth. You wont because you are not an honest company. It was easier for you to lie in court about the problem and destroy me than admit the truth. Remember I have the 200 documents. Why don't you release them so the truth can come out, oh that's right you are never wrong even when you admit that your roof doesn't meet your own standards. Sorry about that for you, I don't sell seconds or defective products to my customers. You do ,I do not. Ask Janus International, (a good and honest manufacture) it took David Curtis and his team along with me and my son working for six months to find out the root cause of a problem and when it was identified Janus end especially David Curtis and Joe Bricker with Sandy and my son to fix the problem. David Curtis and Janus and their supplier replaced over 3000 doors , the exact total I not sure of as it continues. Now Mr. Curtis did this during slow economic times since 2008. We argued , fought, talked, discussed to fix this problem but the only concern Mr. Curtis and I had was for the end user, the owners. Just the opposite of NCI/ MBCI. Even though contained in the 200 documents and 30 years of experience all NCI/MBCI could do was say "not our fault", Vern doesn't know what he is doing. Ya right, after installing 10 million sf of Ultra Deck. There are to many sulliers who know me, to many customers who know me, to many engineers who know me, and way to many salesmen who know me that know I don't lie and will fight for the right of my customers. But in this fight against NCI/MBCI and their lie machine and a stupid Judge with the backing of the private equity firm who bought them in 2008 or NCI was going file for bankruptcy I stand alone. My customers asked me to fight for them , I did, then they turned their back on me as has the rest of the Metal Roofing Industry. MBCI or should I ay Wayne Dickinson stated in court that the Ultra Deck was never a water barrier roof. That it is only a water shedding roof but you can put it on 1/4:12 roof slope. WRONG ! On top of that Wayne Dickinson and their Law Firm Bracewell Giuliani and especially the lawyer ( Richard Whitely) new that roof was sold to me and marketed as a water tight roof. The Oklahoma City plant sales manager testified under oath to that fact and Richard Whitely affirmed the Ultra Deck was a water tight roof. The question is how did I loose in court? The answer is simple. The verdict was bought and paid for, not with money, but with political power and a corrupt legal system in Houston Texas. An Honest man has no chance against a 30 billion dollar private equity firm and a Public Corporation that simply will not tell the truth about their products.
Thank you for reading my diatribe. I promised my customers I would fight for them until I was bankrupt or died. One has happened and the other is very close at hand. I will have to break one of those promises. I can not let myself die. My wife means more to me than my promise. It is for her that I am going to try and regain my health, and as she begged me last night, Put it in God's Hands. Please. So God here it is, tell me what you want me to do.
The Truth Part 2
Posted: August 14, 2013 | Author: verncannonblog | Filed under: Fight of my Life | Tags: ASTM specifications, Building Codes, Metal Roofing, Public Corporations, Roof Leaks, Standing Seam | 1 Comment
I will reveal all about the "fight" I have been having with this Public Corporation. This has been devastating to me personally and to my family. The business I started 30 years ago was destroyed. This standing seam roof supplier had been selling me this particular roof for more than a decade. In fact I first bought and installed this roof in 1986. I have bought more than a million sf of this standing seam. In the year ending June 2008 it was in excess of 500,000 sf. This is the only Standing Seam Roof I installed on every Self Storage Building I designed and sold. I personally installed over one million sf of this roof. I am not a salesman, I was a working contractor.
Many Metal Building suppliers knocked on my office door and tried to get my business but I remained loyal to this one manufacture. This manufacture permits other manufactures to make this roof and sell it under their respective trade names. The roof I purchased was a Structural Standing Seam Roof specified to meet ASTM E 1514 recommenced slope of 1/4:12. I am not an engineer but every detail of my buildings had a design structural engineer and all building were designed to pass local building codes. In 30 years I sold and built buildings in most every state in the country and in Canada. This supplier always knew where these roofs were going as I had conversations with their plant sales manager, inside sales manager and out side sales manager almost on a daily basis. This roof was sold to me and every one else in the country since 1983 as a hydrostatic roof or water tight.
Imagine my shock when suddenly in 2011 this public company publicly stated that this roof was never a hydrostatic roof and was only a water shedding roof or hydro kinetic. This public company also stated that it does not "follow" MBMA Roof System Manual, FEMA definition of Water tight and water shedding roofs, not even the National Roofing Contractors standards.
I live in Oklahoma and as fate would have it the original IAS test lab is till in business in Tulsa Oklahoma and the main developer of the roof is still in business ( has many roof patents) and lives in Edmond Oklahoma. Also one of the original "investors" in developing this roof is one of the most respected men in the history of the Metal Building Industry. I have spoke in great length many times with these men and have had this conversations authenticated by other individuals. This roof was developed to compete with the Butler MR 24 which is hydrostatic. One of the individual told me he built a tank and submerged the panel in water and that the roof was hydrostatic. Why would you spend enormous amounts of money to develop a roof to compete with Butler MR 24 and it not also be a hydrostatic roof ?
Now for the best or should I say worst. The President and corporate officer of this division of the Public Corporation said that his roof needs no sealant in the side laps to work or pass any test. Now that is contrary to the International Building Code and the ICC. Also even their own manual.
I ran the ASTM tests found in their manual under qualifications and specifications. I had an IAS independent test lab perform the tests. This roof failed every test.
I contacted this Public Company's independent engineer. He emailed me that 1/4:12 is hydrostatic and anyone who says it isn't is insane and that he uses ASTM 2140 ( industry standard) when he is hired to test low sloped roofs.
I was destroyed by this company because I was "TOLD" that if I did not use my influence and make my customers put "Tape" on all the side laps then this Public Corporation would destroy me and put me out of business. That is the only words that turned out to be true. No one can stand alone against a Billion Dollar Corporation owned by a 20 Billion Dollar Private Equity Wall Street Firm. These type of entities buy the "truth" with very expensive law firms. The truly sad part is this was not about business. It was personal because I dared to defy the President of this division. I know it was personal because in September of 2008 I went to this law firm and met with the president and vice president of this Public Company along with their lead attorney, their general counsel, their attorney from Tulsa Oklahoma. With me was my son and business attorney. I told the President of this division of the Public Corporation how to fix the problem and it wouldn't cost anything. This man wanted to put a team together to investigate the problem. I agreed, my team would be my son, and two men who I trusted. One man was a former plant manager of this company and the other was a 50 year veteran of the industry who would rather punch you than lie to you. His job for over 50 years was trouble shooting problems for Metal Building Companies and Roofing. I knew I was listening to BS when their vice president told me the reason the roofs were leaking was we used an industrial grade screw gun to install the S-5 wind clamps and that was wrong. He said we were to use only a torque wrench. He said the panel was crimped. He should probably read the instruction manual.The manual says to use an industrial grade screw gun and S-5 provides the attachment for the screw gun. As I said at the beginning I am not a salesman I am or was a working contractor and installer. I may be an OKIE but I know BS when I hear it.

Q: Slow first run with COM object I'm using a Photoshop COM object with late binding to communicate with Photoshop. But the first time I run my application it's very slow! As a test I've removed the late binding and just used the following to instantiate new COM objects:
m_Application = new Photoshop.Application();
m_MakeActiveActionDescriptor = new Photoshop.ActionDescriptor();

First run it takes about 4500ms to go over all my layers, the second time it only takes about 1000ms.
I've read to ignore the first run of your application because of the CLR starting up, but users will probably only run my program once. (C# object creation much slower than constructor call, Is CLR loaded and initialized everytime,when a new managed application is loaded?) I also don't know if this really applies in this case because I've never seen such a slowdown the first run just from the CLR starting up.I've tried to profile my code and it looks like it's the COM object slowing it down.

MakeActiveByIndex(), Initialize() and GetLayerType() all three of them work with COM objects and seem to be a lot slower the first run. Creating the COM objects is very fast, around 5-10ms, it seems that calling methods on them is the slow part. (InvokeMember, CreateInstanceSlow)
private void MakeActiveByIndex(int index, bool visible)
{
    var refe = new Photoshop.ActionReference(); //This needs to be a new object everytime I call this method.
    refe.PutIndex(m_Application.CharIDToTypeID("Lyr "), index);
    m_MakeActiveActionDescriptor.PutReference(m_Application.CharIDToTypeID("null"), refe);
    m_MakeActiveActionDescriptor.PutBoolean(m_Application.CharIDToTypeID("MkVs"), visible);
    m_Application.ExecuteAction(m_Application.CharIDToTypeID("slct"), m_MakeActiveActionDescriptor, ps.PsDialogModes.psDisplayNoDialogs);
}

I'm running my app outside of VS in release mode.
Is there anything I can do to speed it up the first time? Thanks!
EDIT:
Normal for loop:
for (int i = 0; i < groups.Count; i++)
{
    Console.WriteLine(i);
    MakeActiveByIndex(groups[i], false, app);

    activeLayer = activeDocument.ActiveLayer;

    Console.WriteLine(activeLayer.Name);
}

Parallel for:
Parallel.For(0, groups.Count, i =>
{
    Console.WriteLine(i);
    MakeActiveByIndex(groups[i], false, app);

    activeLayer = activeDocument.ActiveLayer;

    Console.WriteLine(activeLayer.Name);

});

Farmers have grown up on the idea that good water, good soil and lots of sunlight translate into good farming. That may have been true for most farmers, for a great deal of time.
But new research and practice have shown that what healthy plants really require are good seeds, good water and nutrients.
Plants do not really require soil. And plants need not sunlight, but spectrum. The entire process of photosynthesis possible when the plant separates the sunlight to soak in the spectrum that it requires. use blue, red or yellow spectrum.
Means the growing of plants in any medium -- sand, gravel, or liquid, with added nutrients and water, but without soil which can be a distinct advantage in areas where existing garden soil is poor, or for apartment dwellers where growing in soil is inconvenient.

Suella Braverman angered by trans-inclusive campaign, warns police to focus on 'real crimes'
Lee Hurley - 17 October 2022
The Daily Telegraph are running a piece in their Monday edition about Suella Braverman's latest nonsense while they also jump on the JK Rowling misinfo wagon.
Is Maya Forstater the world's foremost trans expert? The week in Trans 28/08/22
Lee Hurley - 28 August 2022
Unlike the first week of this trans media watch, which mostly centred around one story about JK Rowling, how she was the real victim...
Trans people do nothing, media blames them anyway: The week in trans 21/08/22
The biggest story that got most people talking in Trans Land this week featured JK Rowling and absolutely no trans people, again.
JK Rowling, lesbians and The Cotton Ceiling
Gemma Stone - 30 May 2022
If they believe it hard enough, perhaps they can will it into existence but I doubt it. Trans people just don't want to have sex with rancid nasty bigots. We want to have sex with people who love us and respect us, like anyone else.
Stella Creasy MP receives transphobic & misogynist backlash for stating the law
According to Stella Creasy and the GRA; you don't need to get surgery in order to have your legal sex changed in the UK. This is all factually true and the result of the law working that way means that yes; some women have penises. You can disagree, you can say you think the law is bad, you can turn yourselves red with rage about it. But nonetheless, as it stands, the law in the UK states that some women have penises - and in a court of law you would not be able to simply ignore that.
Owen Jones faces harassment via transphobic Twitter mob
Owen Jones criticised the original piece for having not done journalistic due diligence of including comment from the school or those accused of allegedly having ousted this 18 year old from sixth-form for being transphobic, who I remind you are students at an all girls school and sixth-form. He asked for someone from that school to reach out with comment or statement. Not least due to the fact that The Times have had to issue multiple corrections for poor journalistic practice in the past, including on trans issues in particular.
Dennis Noel Kavanagh suspended from Twitter after violent anti-trans rant
Gemma Stone - 9 May 2022
Writing to "Stonewall, Mermaids and all your friends" Kavanagh says he "means this" before showing a tweet he had made previously which is just violent threats all the way through. Quote; "I will fucking nail you to a wall what you have done to these innocent children. Your mutilation of these little humand because they were gay will be nothing compared to what I will do to you legally. You think you are ghouls wait till I deal with you bastard and I mean to", but in all caps.
JK Rowling breaks silence on Roe vs Wade, with transphobia
There have already been attempts from transphobes to blame this on trans people. We have seen comments wherein people take aim at gender neutral language, such as "people who can get pregnant". The argument being that not using the word "woman" has made things more difficult, confusing and harder to argue. However I haven't used the word "woman" in this piece even once, and don't plan to. It's not only women who require access to abortions and abortions should be accessible for all those who need them.
Allison Bailey: "I do not identify as a lesbian, I am a lesbian"
This is important because if its true that women are more likely to be gender critical then it would support the claim of indirect discrimination based on sex and sexuality, which is what Bailey alleges happened. However the barristers supporting the defendants, Garden Court Chambers and Stonewall UK, were very quick to shut this idea down. Not only citing polls which disprove that anti-trans views are more common amongst women, such as one by YouGov, which aren't hampered by the selection bias of dedicated anti-trans groups. But also with a thorough cross-examination of supporting evidence too.

Week 5 is over – and we've witnessed some amazing set of matches in the League of Legends competitive world! Now, these 10 teams will enter a period of immense pressure as the top contenders fight it out for the top spot.
Fox has been unexpectedly strong, while their line-up was much better than 2017, no one expected them to propel to first place. That said, they've certainly earned it, having only lost a single match. If they keep it up and not unexpectedly tilt, there is no doubt they'll enter playoffs.
While C9 were tied for first place at the end of week four, they've fell behind to second place from their loss to fox. That said, they're not far behind fox, with only a single game separating the two. Cloud 9 has a very strong shot to take out the split.
While Team Liquid have been doing fairly well this split, they faced a shock loss against the Golden Guardians, the lowest ranking team. This clearly shows TL has some big inconsistencies since GGS has literally, lost to every team excluding the 100 Thieves.
The Thieves are doing really well for a new organization considering this is their first appearance in the NA LCS. While they have lost to C9 and Fox, showing they aren't quite yet a top team, their other wins shows they belong where they are, as a mid-tier team. They have a strong shot at making playoffs.
Fly Quest didn't look too bad in the first few weeks of the NA LCS, however, they've dropped off recently. This is partly due to other teams improving, while FQ doesn't seem to be making any changes. If Fly Quest keeps this up, they'll likely drop further down the ladder.
While TSM did show signs of improvement in week 4, they lost both their matches in the following week. As of now, they are ranked towards the mid-bottom tier, a drastic drop compared to previous seasons. It's likely TSM will seek outside help if they want to make playoffs.
CLG has lost both their games once again, placing them far behind as they enter the bottom tier. As of now, Counter Logic Gaming are on a four-game losing streak and don't show any signs of bouncing back. If they continue playing on tilt, the team won't qualify for playoffs at this rate.
Out of their three wins, two were gained in week four and five. This shows they are improving, albeit slightly as they continue to be subdued by other mid-tier teams. At this rate, OPT may climb to eight of even seventh place.
While the Golden Guardians are the bottom ranked team, with only two wins, they may not be too bad. Their two wins were against TL and 100T, two that rank amongst the upper portion of the league. If they were slightly more consistent, there is no way GGS would rank at the bottom.

John Sung Biography
Posted by María Concepción Pomar Rosselló | Feb 23, 2018 | 0 |
If there ever was a man whose life was complete on earth and made complete by God in only fourty-three years, it was John Sung's. This scholar, a Doctor in Chemistry, and a man of a privileged mind for science, started his life as a rebel. Born the sixth child of a pastor of the local American Wesleyan Methodist church, he quarrelled frequently with his siblings, had a hot temper and an exalted personality. But the greatness of God was later manifested when John Sung renounced all his titles and diplomas to keep the Bible as the greatest and sole source of truth.
John Sung, inspirational Chinese evangelist
"Henceforth", he writes on his diary in 1934, "I will try every means to save souls, never mind if is timely or otherwise. Saving a single sheep is more important than all other work. May God confer unto me the same spirit He gave to Charles Finney, D. L. Moody and John Wesley. I would rather die if God does not do that".
John Sung's Early Life
Born in Hong Chek Village, Fujian province in China on 27th of September 1901, he was given the name "Zhu En", meaning "God's grace". He later on adopted another name, "Shanjie", meaning "noble and frugal", which perfectly depicted his personality. During his youth he was also called "the little pastor" because he accompanied and helped his father in his ministry.
Studying Chemistry
He was expected to follow his father's steps, yet he travelled in 1920 to the United States of America to study chemistry in Ohio Wesleyan University. He finished his PhD there in just six years while he carried out all kinds of humble jobs to pay for his studies. He washed dishes, mowed lawns and scrubbed floors. This was during a time in which he did not have a personal relationship with Jesus.
John Sung's Conversion at Theological Seminary
After being offered an array of privileged positions that would have earned him money and a social position, he moved on to enter Union Theological Seminary in New York instead. During this time he explored many paths promoted by his theologically liberal teachers, reciting Hindu mantras and translating the Dao De Jing into English. But Jung was not happy going down this path. "My Soul", he wrote, "wandered in a wilderness. I could neither sleep nor eat. My faith was like a leaking, storm-driven ship without captain or compass. My heart was filled with the deepest unhappiness". But his life was changed by the Holy Spirit in 1927, when his conversion into the true message of God was effected.
John Sung, inspirational Christian
Sung Sectioned to a Mental Asylum
His change was not well-received by his professors, and they locked him up in a mental asylum! During his stay at the mental institution, he read the Bible forty times in only seven months. He later declared that this was his authentic and only theological tuition.
A Missionary to China
After being released in 1927, he returned to China, eager to bring souls closer to God. His parents had arranged his marriage to a young girl, and although it was not his vocation, he had three children with her and frequently wrote to his wife, worrying about her and their children's welfare.
God sent John Sung all around China and Southeast Asia to preach the gospel. He converted thousands. With his honest and harsh word of truth, he gained countless souls for God, for, as he said, "What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lose his soul?"
Dependence on God through Prayer
The secret of his strength was a deep knowledge of the Bible and steady prayer, getting up early every morning to pray for two or three hours. He frequently states, in his diary: "I wake up at the break of dawn to pray in vigilance and fervour". His prayer was a very direct and intimate connection with Jesus, as if he was a good friend staying with him as he prayed.
He also had his own thorn in the flesh. He suffered greatly from intestinal tuberculosis and fistulas. "My body stinks and is in decay", he recollects in his diaries. "But my lips are still good and I can still pray to God." When he was too ill to write himself, Sister Wang Minxue penned down Sung's experiences and reflections since his early childhood, as dictated by him, in a diary titled My Testimony. Between 1931 and 1938 another diary about his ministries was written by Sister Zheng Ruilang titled A Continuation of My Testimony – Recollections of My Work. She preserved these manuscripts, risking her own life, and stored them in the deep jungle due to the political turmoil China was going through at this time.
John Sung's Final Message
Sung's last message for the Church, when he already was very ill, was the following: "The work of the future is to be the work of prayer". He died from his illness in 1944, being his last words "There's a land that is fairer than day", "In the Cross, in the Cross be my glory ever", and "Jesus is all the world to me". Before passing away, on August 18th, he said to his worried wife: "Don't be afraid! The Lord Jesus is at the door. What is there to fear?"

Donating to Inspirational Christians

However the scriptures are clear about the need to rely on each other as brothers and sisters in Christ; spiritually, physically, and even financially. It's with this last point that we speak to you today.

Due process requires, in connection with the suspension of a student from public school for disciplinary reasons, that the student be given oral or written notice of the charges against him and, if he denies them, an explanation of the evidence the authorities have and an opportunity to present his side of the story.
A medical student was dismissed by officials of the school during her final year of study for failure to meet academic standards. The medical student filed suit against the school board under 42 U.S.C.S. § 1983, alleging that she was not afforded procedural due process prior to her dismissal. The school board contended that the procedures that it employed when dismissing the medical student were sufficient to satisfy the requirements of procedural due process.
Was the student's due process right violated when she was immediately dismissed by the school without any explanation by the student?
The appellate court's decision was reversed in favor of petitioner school board. The court reversed the appellate court's decision. Assuming the existence of a liberty or property interest, the medical student was awarded at least as much due process as U.S. Const. amend. XIV required. The determination whether to dismiss a student for academic reasons required an expert evaluation of cumulative information and was not readily adapted to the procedural tools of judicial or administrative decisionmaking. Under those circumstances, the court declined to formalize the academic dismissal process by requiring a hearing.

Air traffic controllers from Atlantic Canada directed a fleet of special arrivals into the New York Air Traffic Control Centre on Friday night, as a gesture of solidarity and respect.
U.S. President Donald Trump wants $5.7 billion to build a border wall with Mexico, and says he won't put through a bill to cover the cost of operating parts of the government until he gets it. The Democrats have put forward a funding bill, but don't support the wall.
"It's been so overwhelmingly negative and it's nice to see that there's solidarity out there. There's people out there who are just saying, 'Hey, I work with you as a friend or a colleague and here's a nice gesture of friendship, that we care,'" said David Lombardo, a former air traffic controller who lives in Long Island and runs a social media site for people in the industry.
He posted a notice to Reddit about the impending pizza arrival seen in the hallways of the New York control centre.
Air traffic controllers provide essential services and are unable to suspend work or take any other job action during the government shutdown, he said. As a result, with no other government services running, they're working without paycheques.
According to Doug Church, deputy director of public affairs with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) in the U.S., there are currently 14,000 controllers working without pay.
The pizza-delivering task force from the Gander and Moncton crews is part of a national effort on behalf of Canadian air traffic controllers to show support for their American counterparts, said Peter Duffey, president of the Canadian Air Traffic Control Association (CATCA).
Duffey said local unions have been asking the national union what they could do to help since the U.S. government shutdown began. On Thursday evening, controllers in Edmonton had the idea to send pizzas across the border to controllers in Alaska.
It snowballed from there. As of Sunday morning, Canadian units have sent pizzas to 35 different units in the U.S.
Duffey echoed Lombardo's sentiment that air traffic controllers keep each other close, even though they don't work side-by-side and often only hear each other's voices in headsets.
The nature of the job also builds a strong bond, he said.
Church agreed that the current working conditions only made a tough job tougher.
Lombardo said the shipment from the Gander and Moncton units were the first evidence he saw of the pan-Canadian pizza effort, but that he knew there were a lot of pies being ordered from north of the border.
Gander, he said, may be a small town in a small province, but they play a big role in the skies.
They may now be known for having good taste in pizza, too. Reddit users responded to Lombardo's post asking about the pizza place the Gander and Moncton crews chose — Gino's of Ronkonkoma — he assured them the folks at the New York control centre had a good feed.


Feed citrus trees once again. Mature citrus trees need a yearly total of 1.6 pounds of actual nitrogen fertilizer, divided into four equal portions applied in late January, early March, late April and early June — about six weeks apart — and distributed around the drip line. Since 1 pound of any dry fertilizer equals about 2 cups, that is about 4 cups of ammonium sulfate, 2 overflowing cups of ammonium nitrate, or 1.5 cups of urea, each time you apply it. Be sure to water it in well.
Avocado trees need a second semiannual feeding within the next couple of weeks — half a pound of actual nitrogen per tree. That means about 2.5 pounds (5 cups) of ammonium sulfate per mature tree. Or 1.5 pounds (3 cups) of ammonium nitrate per mature tree. Scatter it away from the trunk, near the outer edge of the leaf canopy, and water it in thoroughly.
If you have not already done so, be sure to add a 3-to-4-inch layer of mulch around all your flowers, roses, shrubs and fruit trees. Mulch reduces the likelihood of having to deal with weeds. And it also helps soil retain moisture, so you don't have to irrigate as often to keep your plants healthy. Mulching makes a wonderful difference. Just don't use redwood-based products around roses. Compost and other amendments work well.
Thin newly formed grape clusters to get larger individual fruits instead of huge bunches of tiny grapes. Cut each cluster basically in half as soon as the little grapes begin to form. This way the vine puts more energy into the remaining grapes. They grow larger and have better quality.
To prevent wormy apples at harvest time, begin a consistent spray program now. Newly hatched codling moths lay eggs on immature fruits throughout summer. The larvae enter the fruits and ruin them. Spray leaves and fruits with carbaryl (liquid "Sevin") or malathion every 10 days during spring and summer.

"Life will always get busy, make time to do the things you love." - Lailah Gifty Akita . . When I finished residency, I reassured my husband that my work life balance would be easier in fellowship. When I finished fellowship, I reiterated the same message for my future career as a facial plastic surgeon. I did not convince him one bit, as he knows I'm a workaholic at heart. While I no longer round on the weekends or take as grueling call, the work life balance is different, but not any easier. I am fully accountable to all of my patients, which includes being available by phone after hours or to see them outside of normal clinic hours if any urgent issues arise. When I am not operating or seeing patients in the clinic, I am focused on the marketing side of my practice, contributing to academic medicine through writing and reviewing papers, and pursuing additional training opportunities to better myself as a surgeon . . This past weekend, we prioritized the "life" part of work life balance and made our first #philly to #nyc / #nj trip. Despite an intense Friday clinic and aside from one patient phone call, I stayed away from my laptop and my email for two full days and was able mentally relax and recharge. Saturday featured low-key, local experiences where we explored Bronx Little Italy with our taste buds including sampling the freshest raw clams ever and enjoyed a @kcroyals @yankees game among local fans at @stanssportsbar and at the Yankees stadium. Sunday was highlighted by the long anticipated lunch at @elevenmadisonpark where the service and food were both impeccable and approachable. One of my favorite dishes was the caviar cheesecake with white sturgeon and asparagus (plus an everything bagel crust) as it was such a sleek, savory dish composed as an homage to some of the simpler classic foods that define NYC . . I am grateful to @mitchfav for being so accommodating of my professional life, for gently reminding me about the "life" part of the work life balance. We indulged this weekend in our common love for food and family quality time and in rooting for @mitchfav's favorite baseball team - all of it made today's #caseofthemondays totally worth it!
My 9 day trip through Costa Rica and Nicaragua is coming to an end, but I'll leave tomorrow with an even deeper appreciation of the earth. She offers natural healing through plants, and the beautiful views and sounds I saw throughout my trip. Happy Earth Day!

Are the Lakers the favorites to sign LeBron James after he opts out of Cavaliers contract?
LeBron James' decision Friday morning to decline the $35.6-million option on the final season of his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers gives the Lakers an advantage over other NBA teams in their attempts to sign him as an unrestricted free agent.
His interest in the Lakers is strong, according to a report on cleveland.com, which was the first news organization to report he would opt out of his deal and test free agency. The Cavaliers could still re-sign James and could give him a new five-season, $207.4-million contract.
The most the Lakers or any other team could offer James is four seasons and $152.3 million.
Free agency begins Saturday at 9:01 p.m. PT, but players cannot officially sign until next Friday.
The Lakers have roughly $60 million in salary-cap space they could use to sign James and perhaps another top-tier free agent such as Paul George of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Lakers also are reportedly seeking to trade for Kawhi Leonard of the San Antonio Spurs.
George and Leonard are Southern California natives who have expressed interest in the Lakers.
The Cavaliers can re-sign James, but they don't have the salary-cap flexibility to sign other free agents in order to upgrade their roster. Teams such as the Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers would need to clear additional cap space in order to sign James, another factor in the Lakers' favor.
Houston could acquire James in a sign-and-trade deal, but it would require a third team to complete the transaction. Or the Rockets could sign James as a free agent, but it would make it impossible for them to re-sign free agents Chris Paul, Trevor Ariza and Clint Capela without those players taking substantial paycuts.
The Lakers' acquisition of James has been speculated at great length since last summer. His addition was initially believed to be contingent on the Lakers signing other top-flight free agents in order to create a so-called super team to challenge the NBA champion Golden State Warriors.
Recently, it's been suggested James would be willing to join the youthful Lakers without significant upgrades to their roster. He has two homes in the L.A. area and has been spotted checking out local schools for his children in Los Angeles and Orange counties.
"The one thing that I've always done is considered, obviously, my family," James told reporters after the Cavaliers lost to the Warriors in the NBA Finals earlier this month. "Understanding, especially, where my boys are at this point in their age. They were a lot younger the last time I made a decision like this four years ago (when he returned to Cleveland after four seasons with the Miami Heat).
As the chatter about James' grew to a fever pitch this week, the four-time NBA MVP and three-time league champion retreated to the Caribbean island of Anguilla for a family vacation. James posted a video Thursday of himself and his son, Bronny, jumping off a cliff into the ocean.
Rich Paul, James' agent, informed the Cavaliers of his decision to opt out Friday morning. It's unclear when James might make his decision on where he signs, although it was reported earlier in the week by several outlets that he hoped to have everything wrapped up by Wednesday and will announce his decision on his Uninterrupted website at some point.
It is Paul who is set to hear free-agent pitches from the Lakers and other teams.
If the Lakers were to agree to a contract with George, who opted out of the final year and $20.7 million of his contract with the Thunder, then it would be a clear sign that James is headed to Los Angeles. George could sign for as much as $130 million over four years with the Lakers.
However, George could re-sign with Oklahoma City for $176 million for five years.
George isn't the only free agent the Lakers could target in a pairing with James. They also could pursue Chris Paul of the Rockets, who can become an unrestricted free agent Saturday after spending one season in Houston after last summer's trade from the Clippers.
The Lakers' attempts to acquire Leonard from the Spurs could prove to be too problematic for the management team of Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka. San Antonio would almost certainly insist on getting players such as Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram plus draft picks in return.
Plus, the Spurs might not wish to aid the rival Lakers to such a degree.
After the draft last week, Pelinka declined to say which Lakers might or might not be available in a trade.

A source from Libya reports that early morning August 23, 2011 a commando unit from British Special Air Service (SAS) was disclosed and eliminated in Tripoli. Their local guide was captured and will be prosecuted shortly.
An anti-subversive team of the Libyan 32nd Special Force Brigade responsible for clearing Tripoli off subversive elements, has detained a local citizen found alive on the scene of the combat against a foreign commando unit. According to his confessions, he was guiding a 17-strong SAS group headed by a white Anglo-Saxon officer. The other members of the group were Arabs. He was asked to lead them to the centre of Tripoli avoiding army and police check-points. He was paid 300 bucks for this mission.'
'This subversive group was ambushed and lost several men. The corpses were taken by survivors who have retreated to an unknown location.'
'The trial over the captured guide will be organized once the situation in Tripoli is stabilized. It will be open for foreign media,' – confirmed the governmental source.
We have already mentioned that the 'problem of dead NATO commandos' will represent a serious challenge for anti-Gaddafi coalition. As a confirmation came the news that yesterday a US military transport aircraft was loaded by an unknown cargo at one of the NATO bases in Italy. The aircraft was subject to strict security regime, the local airbase personnel was not allowed to get close to the board and take part in loading operations which were performed exclusively by US and British military contractors. Our military experts believe that the destination of the cargo should be Afghanistan where a massive onslaught by Taliban will take place in coming days to justify 'huge losses' in NATO special forces' manpower.


Day 62: 2/3/17. The same world that made you feel so bad was the one that made you feel so good.
Artist Serrah Russell Responds to 2016 Election With "100 Days of Collage"
The 2016 presidential election results left many feeling a wave of shock and unease. Seattle-based artist Serrah Russell channelled this disquiet into 100 Days of Collage, a series of daily meditations reflecting on the past and the ambiguous future of a newly changing world. They are simple, yet remarkably layered - fusing disparate images from issues of National Geographic and various fashion magazines to build a narrative that combines defeatist confusion with a glimmer of molotov, hope and resistance. Russell captions each piece with titles like "And how we have kept quiet," "This is to protect you, they said," and "The stars have died, but we won't know for years to come," -- words that could serve as their own book of poems or revolutionary wall scribblings, and recall many of the cryptic passages in Margaret Atwood's classic The Handmaid's Tale. An appropriate subtitle for the project could be the novel's line of resistance: "Nolites Te Bastardes Carborundorum" ("Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down.") Russell is presently fundraising to produce a large format book of the work through a series of one-day-only flash sales. Behold Serrah Russell's 100 Days of Collage. We've included her statement at the end of this post, so scroll, look and read on.
