As everyone who has spent a Sunday afternoon (or a Tuesday after work for that matter) knows, Ballard is walkable. Our clients who want an urban village atmosphere, with wonderful ethnic and long established restaurants, herbal shops and consignment shops happily interspersed with great pubs and classy restaurants, and a sense of the beat going on, Ballard is first choice. Suffice to say there is a neighborhood organization devoted to greening the neighborhood, which is fairly green already to the eye of a casual observer.
A friend of mine once said the residents mostly don't go out of Ballard all weeekend, why would they with the best of everything … yes… right there accessable by walking? And for those who opt for a home twenty blocks north, a five minute bike ride. But I wanted to share with you a little corner tucked off the main Boulevard which has a compendum of special little shops… a bakery, a restaurant, a hair salon, a pub… and maybe most impressive of all, an umbrella boutique.
Located just off the corner of 15th Ave NW, around 65th, this little neighborhood is worth a special trip to get acquainted. I'll blog about the other fun spots here asap, but for now I wanted to share this amazing find with you, Bella Umbrella. Indeed beautiful, and bound to make you realize how much you need an umbrella or several. And if you are a bride, this will make your wedding something to remember!
The address of this unique boutique is 1421 NW 70th Street, Seattle, WA 98117. Let me know which umbrella you took home.
Ballard is the kind of place that has every little shop you can imagine. This place looks like the kind of little boutique that I would love, and I will go check it out.

Aaron to dump CSKA Moscow for Molde of Norway
February 12, 2018 Gbenga Jolaosho Sports 0
The Nigerian Basketball Federation has released an 18 man provisional list of the D'Tigers for the 2019 FIBA World Cup qualifiers in Bamako, Mali, from 23rd to 25th February, 2018.
In the list are five players from the 2017 AfroBasket silver winning team top the list, including 3 home based players and 2 from the 2015 Afrobasket winning squad.
Agua Caliente Clippers, USA player Ikechukwu Ireogbu who was a revelation at the 2017 tournament where the D'Tigers won a silver medal has been invited alongside Ike Nwamu (Sioux Falls Skyforce, USA), Bryant Mbamalu (CD Vildivia, Chile), Ike Diogu (Schun Blue Whales, China) and Ayodeji Akindele (Belediye Spor, Turkey).
Eli Abraham (Kano Pillars), Abdulwahab Yakubu (Gombe Bulls) and Musa Usman Mohammed (Mark Mentors) have also made the cut for the team ahead of their Group B games against host-Mali, Rwanda and Uganda.
The duo of Ben Uzoh (unattached) and Michael Gbinijie (Santa Cruz Warriors, USA) will be making their return to the national team fold after missing out of the 2017 nations cup co-hosted by Senegal and Tunisia.
Other players invited by the Coach Alex Nwora include Ofoegbu Chima (unattached), Ojo Michael Adetokunbo (Worcester Wolves, UK), Mike Efevbeha (Sagesse, Lebanon), Obi Emenago (Rouen Basket, France), Omogbo Emmanuel (VL Pesaro, Italy), Nwogbo Lotana Afam (Sendai 89ers, Japan), Talib Zanna (Ironi Nes-Ziona, Israel) And Christopher Obekpa Ewaoche (Tranzaspor, Turkey).
According to arrangements already put in place by the NBBF, foreign based players are to report to Bamako, Mali on the 19th to be joined by the players and officials from Nigeria.
Explaining the reason behind the arrangement, NBBF President, Engr. Musa Kida, said "Due to the FIBA calendar which opens on the 19th which is just about 4 days to the D'Tigers first game, telling all players to come to Nigeria before traveling to Mali will be mission impossible.
We are expecting players from Europe, North America, South America and Asia, so we thought it wise that instead of going through the traveling stress ahead of the qualifiers, they should just report straight to Bamako.
Speaking on Nigeria's group, the head coach is optimistic about his team's chances of qualifying from the group to the next round where the women team in 2017 won their Afrobasket title.
"Active players in their clubs who are available have been invited to represent Nigeria. We have a very formidable team that I believe will sail through."
Nwora who said their job in Mali is to win complained that the new FIBA World Cup Qualifying competition format has come with some setbacks especially during the February window where countries are finding it tough to get all their key players with leagues across the world already in full swing.

No mini bar. Heating was not good.
Better timing when there's more snow. Chairlift wasn't functioning perhaps because of that.

Intuitive Surgical: Leading the pack
Intuitive Surgical's DaVinci robotic surgery system
At the head of the surgical robotics race is Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci robot. The da Vinci is the most ubiquitous robot, with more units in operation than any other robotic systems.
The da Vinci system is designed to perform various minimally invasive surgeries, with a wealth of regulatory approvals covering a wide spectrum of surgical procedures—much greater than any of its current competitors on the market.
The da Vinci has been the subject of more than 7,000 peer-reviewed publications and studies, and is used worldwide.
Intuitive Surgical recently avoided a class-action lawsuit over the da Vinci robot after plaintiffs claimed that the robot left tiny metallic particles in the body that eventually made their way to the brain.
Company officials expect da Vinci system procedures to grow to 9% this year, down from the 15% growth seen in 2016. But the company has an R&D pipeline that should hopefully produce new products in coming years.
Video demonstration of the da Vinci system

Piano Man Returns To Boston Garden
It was eight o'clock on a Monday, and the regular crowd shuffled in. But it wasn't until 8: 20 that Billy Joel took the stage for the final Boston appearance in his 1993 "River of Dreams" tour. It was worth the wait.
If you didn't know better, you might think that Billy Joel came to town to promote his greatest hits album; because if you were lucky enough to get tickets to one of the three sold-out shows, that's what you were treated to. The piano man opened big on the 14th (only the second show of the tour), and on the 20th he closed even bigger.
"For the third time, good evening, Boston. How the hell are ya? Last year we started the tour in Worcester. This year I thought we'd start the tour downtown," said Joel, once again reaffirming his excitement to be back in the North End for the first time since the '70s.
Throughout his two hours of stage work, Joel did everything from his best Bob Dylan impersonation to an opinion poll about his beard. Amid incredible lighting effects, Joel reeled off hits like "Pressure," "Allentown," and "My Life," while mixing in a few tracks from his new album "The River of Dreams." Joel even donned the accordion for a rendition of his "Storm Front" tune, "The Downeaster Alexa." "When I went to school," said Joel, "if you took piano lessons, they beat the [ ] out of you, and if you played the accordion, they'd really kill you."
But it was Joel who did the killing as the real show began when he slipped into a moving rendition of "Goodnight Saigon" complete with blasting helicopter sound effects, followed by "We Didn't Start the Fire," an energetic "You May Be Right," and a finale of the classic "Only the Good Die Young." To no surprise, Joel came back for a two-song encore. Surprising, however was his rendition of the Elvis great "All Shook Up" for the first time in over a year, before he moved into an antics-filled performance of "Big Shot." Just moments after he said his second good-bye, Joel returned to the stage for a final encore. The crowd's anticipation erupted as Joel took the centerstage piano with harmonica in hand. Cleverly faking out the crowd, Joel began to play the first few lines of one of his less notable songs before stopping and breaking out into his masterpiece, "Piano Man."
The night could not have ended any better as the band fell silent upon the last chorus to hear 15,000 fans sing to Joel, "Sing us a song, you're the piano man. Sing us a song tonight. For we're all in the mood for a melody, and you've got us feeling all right." n

THE BOOK OF GEMS. THE POETS AND ARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN. EDITED BY S. C. HALL. LONDON AND NEW YORK: SAUNDERS AND OTLEY.
THIS work combines the rich embellishments of the very best of the race of Annuals, with a far higher claim to notice than any of them in its strictly literary department. If we regard this volume as the only one to appear, the title will convey no idea of the design — but we are promised a continuation. The whole, if we comprehend, will contain specimens of all the principal poets and artists of Great Britain. In the present instance we have the poets as far as Prior, including a period of about four hundred years, with extracts from Chaucer, Lydgate, James I, Hawes, Carew, Quarles, Shirley, Habington, Lovelace, Wyatt, Surrey, Sackville, Vere, Gascoigne, Raleigh, Spenser, Sidney, Brooke, Southwell, Daniel, Drayton, Shakspeare, Walton, Davies, Donne, Jonson, Corbet, Phineas Fletcher, Giles Fletcher, Drummond, Wither, Carew, Browne, Herrick, Quarles, Herbert, Davenant. Waller, Milton, Suckling, Butler, Crashaw, Denham, Cowley, Marvell, Dryden, Roscommon, Dorset, Sedley, Rochester, Sheffield, and Prior. Of these, all the autographs have been obtained and are published collectively at the end of the book, with the exception of the nine first mentioned. The work is illustrated by fifty-three engravings, each by different artists. A sea-side group by Harding, and L'Allegro and II Penseroso by Parris, are particularly good — but all are excellent.
We had prepared some observations in regard to the [page 92:] book itself, (over which we have been poring for many days with intense delight) and in regard more especially to the character and justice of that deep feeling with which most men, having claim to taste, are wont to look, even through a veil of exceedingly troublesome obscurity and antiquity, upon the writings of the elder poets and dramatists of Great Britain. But we have been so nearly anticipated in our design by a paper in the American Monthly Magazine for July, that what we should now say, and say con amore, would be looked upon as little better than a rifacimento of the article we mention. At the same time it would be an ill deed to remodel our thoughts, and proceed to think falsely, for the mere purpose of proving that we can think originally. In this dilemma then, we will merely express our general accordance in the opinions of the Northern Magazine, copy, of its critique, a portion which seems to embody, in little compass, much of what we have said less forcibly and more diffusely, and add some few additional observations which have lately suggested themselves.
With the two former ethics were the end — with the two latter the means. The poet of the Creation wished, by highly artificial verse, to inculcate what he considered moral truth — he of the Auncient Mariner to infuse the Poetic Sentiment through channels suggested by mental analysis. The one finished by complete failure what he commenced in the grossest misconception — the other[[,]] by a path which could not possibly lead him astray, arrived at a certainty and intensity of triumph which is not the less brilliant and glorious because concentrated among the very few who have the power to perceive it. It will now be seen that even the "metaphysical verse" of Cowley is no more than evidence of the straight-forward simplicity and single-heartedness of the man. And he was in all this but a type of his school [[school]] — for we may as well designate in this way the entire class of writers whose poems are bound up in the volume before us, and throughout all of whom runs a very perceptible general character. They used but little art in composition. Their writings sprang immediately from the soul — and partook intensely of the nature of that soul. It is not difficult to perceive the tendency of this glorious abandon. To elevate immeasurably all the energies of mind — but again — so to mingle the greatest possible fire, force, delicacy, and all good things, with the lowest possible bathos, baldness, and utter imbecility, as to render it not a matter of doubt, but of certainty, that the average results of mind in such a school, will be found inferior to those results in one (ceteris paribus) more artificial: Such, we think, is the view of the older English Poetry, in which a very calm examination will bear us out. The quaintness in manner of which we were just speaking, is an adventitious [page 96:] advantage. It formed no portion of the poet's intention. Words and their rhythm have varied. Verses which affect us to-day with a vivid delight, and which [[delight]] in some instances, may be traced to this one source of grotesqueness and to none other, must have worn in the days of their construction an air of a very common-place nature. This is no argument, it will be said, against the poems now. Certainly not — we mean it for the poets then. The notion of power, of excessive power, in the English antique writers should be put in its proper light. This is all we desire to see done.
Th' eclipse and glory of her kind?
For love of your demaines.
The Maiden lamenting for her Fawn, by Marvell, is, we are pleased to see, a favorite with our friends of [page 101:] the American Monthly. Such portion of it as we now copy, we prefer not only as a specimen of the elder poets, but, in itself, as a beautiful poem, abounding in the sweetest pathos, in soft and gentle images, in the most exquisitely delicate imagination, and in truth — to any thing of its species.
Find it although before mine eyes.
and these things being its "chief" delights — and then the pre-eminent beauty and naturalness of the concluding lines — whose very outrageous hyperbole and absurdity only render them the more true to nature and to propriety, when we consider the innocence, the artlessness, the enthusiasm, the passionate grief, and more passionate admiration of the bereaved child.
Lilies without — roses within.


Former Rutgers lineman Shaun O'Hara said he is happy for the school's football program after having the most successful showing in the NFL Draft in school history.
Giants center and Rutgers alum Shaun O'Hara was asked if he was surprised at the number of Rutgers players drafted.
"I wouldn't say shocked, but excited, happy for the program," O'Hara said. "It's says a lot about Greg Schiano and the job he's done in not only recruiting athletes but developing them."O'Hara was also asked about the lack of interior linemen added through the draft or as undrafted free agents (though the process of signing players continues).
"When you look at the track record of the Giants, they've always done a good job evaluating talent at the offensive line and finding value in free agents as well as later draft picks," O'Hara said. "I let them handle their jobs and I handle my job. I think they do their job just as well."
The locker next to O'Hara, which used to belong to backup OL Grey Ruegamer, has now been given to OT Andrew Carnahan. Read into that what you will.
O'Hara's new charitable foundation (fittingly entitled The Shaun O'Hara Foundation) will be hosting its inaugural golf outing on May 20 at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City. For information on the event, contact contact Jim Ruh at 908-612-8100 or jruh@comcast.net.
The foundation was founded this year to Help Increase Knowledge and Education (HIKE, being that O'Hara is a center) in life-threatening diseases for which there is limited funding. The golf outing will raise money for cystic fibrosis.


This is replacing the TL and the TSX.
And it just looks like a big ILX.
It seems that Honda just cannot design an upscale car. This would be a really nice Accord.
A loaded Fusion, 2015 Chrysler 200 and many other mid sized cars look better and at least as upscale as this.
I still miss the original TL. The one from 1999. Which was truly a step up from the Accord.
I am sure this is a fine car, to drive and own.
It comes with a 2.4 Liter with 206hp and an 8 speed auto.
Or a 3.6 Liter V6 with 290hp and a 9 speed auto.
Again, what an Accord could be.
Frankly, the Accord is much better looking than this. Acura seems doomed!
Hey, Vince, you've really hit on something here: for some reason, Honda simply can't make a large, upscale car. Back when Infiniti and Lexus were competing with the Q45 and LS400, the Acura alternative was the weak RL. When I look at the new TLX all I see is an Accord.
I'm not sure if it's my OCD - but it just drives me absolutely CRAZY that at this price point that cup holders are still visable. It cheapens the whole interior.
I really think this looks nice. This will also be the European Accord. It may not be the most aggressive or bold sedan, but the design is attractive.
This is going to be a hit. This design goes better with this size car, and with 19" wheels it will turn heads. There is something wrong when luxury is defined as how good the leather of a car is, when it spends half the year in the shop, like a Land Rover.
Soooo, based on the roaring success of the ILX, the runaway sales of the RLX and the extraordinary brand awareness of the TL, they decided to go with this.
I swear, I would love to know what these guys at Acura are thinking. How do these conversations go, that this seems like a good idea? I mean, srsly.
Boring, and i hate the Ethel Merman nose.
...huh...what happened?? Did I miss something?? Just like vanilla, it goes with anything but doesn't stand out. Playing it safe is "fine" if you sell over 100K per year, but in this small "Luxury" market, buyers want to stand out.
Props to the engineers for advancing safety, and performance, but why couldn't it visually standout like a Tesla or Karma?
Honda is at a point with "Acura" sedans where they might as well take a risk with the exterior design or expect to lose sales to Hyundai and Kia.
I was waiting to see what this would look like. And, no surprises. They even left off the LED lights in the lower part of the grille (on the concept) just like I thought they would.
I'm starting to wonder what it will take for Acura to realize people don't think their "shield" grille. It looks like a rhino's upper lip.
The interior isn't even exciting. My '08 TSX had better designed door panels than this car.
I can't imagine a situation where someone walks by this car and says, "whoa." Couldn't we have gone edgier? It doesn't cost anything at all to style a car. A Fusion cost the same to make as an Accord.
I see all of you Acura/ Honda haters are bashing this car. Granted,it could be better, but it is really NOT that bad. Conservative? Yes. Fugly-- no. See Lexus spindle grill for definition of Fugly. But if you're going to criticize this car for looking too much like its brand-mates (RLX, ILX) then at least be consistent when evaluating the same issue for other brands. How many Mercedes, BMW, Audi models look like different sizes of he same sausage? How do they fare in terms of long-term reliability, durability, and maintenance costs? Exactly what are you paying a price premium for beyond a designer badge? Some of you need to get a grip and get real.
It's a nice, handsome looking sedan and definitely the best looking sedan of Acura's sedan lineup, but I'm doubtful that it will be enough to draw more buyers to the Acura brand.

There are a lot of things that go into business management goals. One of the biggest aspects is doing everything you can in order to keep the business not only afloat, but as profitable as possible. After all, the entire goal of running a business is to ensure that there is a profit made. Otherwise, you are just working extremely hard for other people, and that should not be your end goal.
Sports is more than just an American pastime. Sports tends to unit cities, states, and even the country during the time of international competition. Most people enjoy at least one sport, and sports activities rake in billions of dollars collectively in the United States. If you are interested in making a larger investment at once, purchasing ownership in a sports team can bring you more money than other types of investments. There are many things to consider if you are looking for a minority ownership in a sports team.
Saving for retirement is something that many American consumers take very seriously. Investing in an IRA (individual retirement account) is a popular way to generate funds that can be accessed when an individual decides to leave the workforce. Protecting the money you have invested in your IRA is critical when it comes to ensuring you will be able to enjoy financial security during retirement. Here are three simple things that you can do to protect your IRA in the future.

Rogues' Gallery: An Irreverent History of Corruption in South Africa, from the Voc to the ANC (Paperback)
By Matthew Blackman, Nick Dall
This book is harder to get and may take several weeks if available. Please email info@mcnallyjackson.com with questions.
If you reckon corruption in South Africa began with Zuma or even with apartheid, it's time to catch a wake-up call. Rogues' Gallery tells the story of some of the biggest skelms to grace our (un)fair shores, showing that dodgy dealings have been a national pastime for as long as South African history has been written down.
The action starts with the machinations of three colonial governors: rotten Willem Adriaan van der Stel and the 'twaddling' British duo, Sir George Yonge and Lord Charles Somerset. Added to this is Cecil John Rhodes's unparalleled success in poisoning the land with theft, fraud, and war, and Oom Paul Kruger's corrupt and compromised Volksraads (official and unofficial). Readers are then treated to apartheid's finest feats in corruption: from the Broederbond's perfect ten in state capture to the Department of Information's peddling of fake news and the apartheid state's manufacture of - no, not illegal cigarettes - Class A drugs And let's not forget the hotbed of corruption that was the 'independent' homelands. Add to this a few murders, plenty of nepotism and a state president who started out as a Nazi spy, and the gallery of rogues is complete.
On the flipside, every chapter also features at least one brave whistle-blower - the true heroes of this book. Irreverent, entertaining, and impeccably researched, Rogues' Gallery busts the myth that the Zuptas were the first to capture the South African state, showing that corruption has always been around - and that the tricks politicians play haven't changed a lot.

This paper investigates the influence of company characteristic toward Corporate Social Responsibility disclosure. The research is using the proxy of management ownership, leverage, size, profitability and company profile as the variable of company characteristic, while the CSR disclosure, unlike the previous researches, is proxied by dummy score from the companies' mandatory disclosure based on the items of Public Environmental Reporting Initiative (PERI) and Global Reporting Initiative Social Performance (GRISP) issued by Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Our research found that simultaneously, company characteristics significantly influence CSR disclosure. Whereas based on the partial test, amongst the characteristics observed, only company profile which significantly influences CSR disclosure. The result indicates that legitimacy from the society is the big concern of companies and therefore drives the actions of companies. However, the disclosure presumably depends on the awareness of the management toward social and environmental prosperity because the pressure from investors and market is still weak.


I'm starting this site as a way for me to keep up a regular writing habit, and to provide you with information and updates on my composition and performance endeavors. Shameless, I know. But, perhaps some small spark of thought from my humble head will kindle a flame of insight in yours. Or perhaps you'll do that for me. Maybe you'll even hear some music you like (but no promises there).

Opinion: Ill-conceived plan
The drag racing strip in the Great Salt Pond is the latest bone of contention between environmentalists (supported by hordes of others) and politicians who want to live up to a campaign promise. On their side are, of course, the people who will be doing the drag racing if it ever comes that far. There are a few aspects to consider. First of all there is then retention capacity of the Great Salt Pond. This was already a topic of discussion when former Public Works Commissioner Theo Heyliger dumped all that sand in the pond for the ring road that is competing for longest completion date with the new government administration building. that's a technical point: if our politicians keep filling the salt pond and turn it into a sand pond, a lot of people are going to end up with wet feet – and worse – when the weather turns against us. Everybody knows this, but based on results, not enough people care. We think they should.
The second aspect concerns the monument status of the salt pond. Politicians do not have to be too concerned about that (not that we want to encourage them, we're just stating a fact), because they will be able to destruct whatever they want as long as they do not demolish any structures that have monument status. The debating point will of course be whether the walls of the salt pans are structures.
Then there is the matter of the permit for building the darn drag racing strip. Has anybody seen it on public review? We certainly did not and one could well wonder why this is – and whether this is legal.
From a video on Youtube we pick up the opinion that the pond is now filled up as quick as possible to arrive at a point of no return – the moment when there is no use protesting against the project anymore. This makes us wonder what the opponents of the strip are waiting for. The shortest way to freeze those activities is obviously via the courthouse, and via summary proceedings. Organizing an online petition against the strip is always a good idea but it will do nothing to stop what is going on right now.
What will it be like when, in a worst case scenario, the drag racing strip becomes a reality? Will MP Frans Richardson provide the whole population with free ear plugs and with free medical care for damage to our ears? Probably not.
The proponents of the drag racing strip said yesterday in our newspaper that the drag racers will only make "a little noise maybe twice a week for a couple of hours." The slowest cars will run about 14 seconds and the fastest once about 7 seconds, drag racer Victor Peterson said.
That sounds almost reasonable. But we know from experience in the United States a little bit about the sound levels drag racing produces – and it lasts certainly longer than 14 seconds. We visited once a drag racing place in Utah – even Mormons like speed – and the strip was situated absolutely in the middle of nowhere. For miles and miles around there was not a single building to be seen.
That indicates that the good people of Utah have some common sense as far as noise pollution is concerned. An evening at the drag races is not exactly a feast for the ears.
At the location in the Great Salt Pond, the drag racers will indeed ruin the quality of life for hundreds if not thousands of people. It is telling that, as far as we know, our government in all its wisdom has not thought about an environmental impact study. Makes sense, because such a study would have shown without any doubt that the Great Salt Pond is definitely not a place where one wants to have a drag racing strip.
It is still not too late to reconsider this ill-conceived plan, and to use the money the government is apparently prepared to sink into it for better purposes. Comments on the petition site all point in the same direction: do something about the maintenance of the Raoul Illidge and Melford Hazel sports complexes, do something about the Little League Stadium.
The unanswered questions so far are of course who will benefit from this project – but those answers will come to the surface, sooner or later. Then we will know why there was such an urgency to push all that sand into the Great Salt Pond.

Outsiders to this activity may probably not be aware of the Dinghy Cruising Association, the national body for the sport. It has been in operation over 50 years and has hundreds of members. The DCA holds an unrivalled library of knowledge relating to dinghy cruising and in the Practical Dinghy Cruiser book there are references as a guide to accessing relevant published DCA articles that would allow readers to investigate further, if they wished to follow up on any given topic.
The book Practical Dinghy Cruiser has found strong support within the DCA as well as with dinghy cruisers internationally.
The DCA having a party.
One of the strongest reasons for looking at the DCA is its 'Bulletin'. It began many years ago as just a few sheets for communication of meetings and brief sailing accounts. It gradually evolved into a thicker and thicker publication as membership grew and content expanded.
With the development of desktop publishing the bulletin took great strides forward under the guidance of the late Peter Bick. The quantity of it's editorial' content (that's the stuff we like to read, the articles and news) began to rival commercial magazines. Most readers of such magazines don't realise that there may be only about 50ish (or less) pages of such content in their 120/130 page thick magazine. The other pages are mainly advertising. This is OK as the adverts pay for the production and the adverts can be useful to readers, but 'real content' is usually less than half of the magazine.
In more recent times the production of the bulletin has been due to the efforts of Keith Muscott and he has worked wonders, using the most up to date publishing systems. The DCA is so fortunate now to have the highest quality, full-colour sailing magazine called Dinghy Cruising that it is possible for any organisation to have. It rivals and in many respects outclasses, commercial productions found in newsagents. The most recent issues have weighed in at 80 pages apiece with hardly an advert, except for those things that members might wish to sell or exchange.
This content is the equivalent of two commercial magazines in a single issue and it's ALL directed at exactly the material of our greatest specialist interest. Members can now see their accounts, pictures, diagrams and chartlets produced to the highest professional standards.
Don't take my word for it, take a look for yourself. As an example the pages to the left feature some of the member's boats, sketch maps of sailing areas (those by Len Wingfield are of exceptional quality) and diagrams for equipment modifications.
The images to the right (Howard Morgan) and some diagrams to the left (David Sumner), both shows a method for attaching the main halliard to the gaff to allow its swift relocation when reefing. One is a photographic explanation, the other mainly diagrams. I wish that I could have directed the readers of my book to these articles in addition to those I mentioned when discussing exactly this problem on pages 67 & 68. Also illustrated here is a variation on the helm impeder system (Howard Morgan) that I covered on page 57 in Practical Dinghy Cruiser.
One of the colour pages above shows the beginning of Rally Reports. Basically the country has regions that each arrange their own meetings throughout the year. If you want to sail somewhere different you can choose a location, call the member responsible for coordinating the meet, then go and join in. Decisions whether to sail or not are up to each individual. There is often a meal in a local hostelry and members without boats sometimes come along for a ride in a different boat, or just to enjoy the meal and the chat. Dinghy Cruising has many other regular features, Openboat Forum, Book reviews, Library additions and articles pack it from cover to cover.

Scottish Government urges Scots to avoid large NYE parties
Aggiunto da celex il 31 dicembre 2021
Scottish Government issues last ditch plea to Scots heading to England to celebrate NYE to 'stay away' from large-scale parties because Omicron 'poses a serious threat' to the nation
Scotland banned large-scale New Year's Eve parties because of Covid spread
Nicola Sturgeon urged Scots to minimise social contacts as much as possible
English border pubs are expecting thousands of Scots to journey to England
Deputy First Minister John Swinney has urged Scots to stick to Covid guidance
The Scottish Government today issued a last ditch plea to Scots to avoid large-scale New Year's Eve parties as English pubs brace for thousands of revellers to cross the border to celebrate this evening.
Nicola Storione has banned large Hogmanay celebrations and advised people to limit socialising as much as possible.
But many Scots are expected to head to England to escape the coronavirus curbs and to see in the New Year.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney today called on all Scots to stick to the Scottish Government's guidance.
He said people are being urged to restrict socialising because Omicron is 'spreading very, very widely within our society' and it 'poses a serious threat to us'.
Groups of excited Scots were pictured yesterday arriving in Newcastle, Blackpool and London to celebrate New Year's Eve and go to football matches with more expected to follow suit today.

People arriving at Kings Cross on a train from Scotland yesterday. There were several other stops on the way which passengers may have boarded at
Ms Sturgeon announced the ban on large-scale Hogmanay events last week and she decided to stick with it earlier this week.
The First Minister said it is 'prudent' and 'essential' to take action to reduce transmission of the disease in order to 'avoid the sheer volume of cases overwhelming us'.
She has urged people to reduce their contacts with other households and to 'limit the size of any indoor social gatherings that do take place so that they don't include people from any more than three households'.
There are similar restrictions on socialising in place in Wales and experts have predicted as many as 100,000 Scottish and Welsh revellers could journey across the border to celebrate this evening.
There are no such curbs in England, with people simply being encouraged to take a Covid test before they head to a party.
Boris Johnson claims to have HIT his New Year booster jab… US records more than 512,500 daily COVID cases and breaks…
Mr Swinney was asked this morning why the Scottish Government was not prepared to 'trust' people to get tested before celebrating.
Ha detto al programma Today di BBC Radio 4: 'We do trust people and we have encouraged them to do exactly that.
'But we have also asked people to limit their social contact because we can see from all of the data that you have just recounted that Omicron is spreading very, very widely within our society.
'It poses a serious threat to us, we can see hospitalisation levels are increasing… so at a time when I recognise all of the sentiments that were set out in the clip that you have just played, I recognise all of those traditions, I have been part of them, I value them, I appreciate them, Li amo, it is part of who we are.
'But unfortunately this time around we have to apply some constraints on the level of social interaction we have to protect others.'
Mr Swinney said earlier this week that he would 'discourage' Scots from heading to England to celebrate on New Year's Eve.
He said that 'people are free to take those decisions but I would discourage them from doing so'.
Groups of Scots were pictured arriving in English towns and cities yesterday.
Newcastle is a particular draw given its proximity to Scotland and famously lively party scene, and yesterday there was a steady flow of Scots arriving at Central Station.
Aidyn Stott was getting off the train after travelling from Fife with his partner. He plans on spending today in Newcastle after becoming fed up of the stringent Scottish rules.
The 21-year-old joiner told MailOnline: 'It's not good up in Scotland having to live with the restrictions. We're here for the New Year and we plan on going out for it to celebrate. We'll be going to the Tup Tup nightclub.
'I don't agree with the restrictions in Scotland. A few miles away south of the border you can go out as normal. It doesn't make any sense.
'It's good to come to Newcastle because you're used to going out back home all the time and it gets a bit boring.
'You can come here and go to the football and do a lot more than you can in Scotland.'
One Scottish taxi driver had travelled from Edinburgh with his partner for a trip to Newcastle.
He didn't want to be named but said: 'It's nice just to be able to get away from the Covid situation in Scotland. I'm going down to London as well soon to watch Chelsea play football to just get away from it.
'Nicola Sturgeon doesn't drink, she's teetotal. She targets the working man. The people she targets are everything she hates.
'On a normal New Year's Eve I'd be working or I would be at my local pub where every year there are hundreds of people. That's not going to happen now and it affects everyone. The restrictions are wrong because they're not working in my opinion.'
Alex Torrence, 32, who works at a hotel in Glasgow, arrived at Euston railway station in London today and said he was going on to Brighton to visit friends.
He said he had spent 'well over £100' to make the trip, aggiungendo: 'I booked the trip long before the restrictions came in, but I decided I was going to come anyway. The hotel I'm working at is closed. I booked the time off. Why not?
'I am completely understanding of the restrictions that Nicola Sturgeon has put in place, but people also have to carry on and live their lives.
'I spent Christmas Day by myself because my mum is vulnerable and she's not got the booster yet. I'm not going to be alone on New Year's Eve as well.'
Mike, who came from Scotland and arrived at King's Cross, was with three male friends and said they were going to go out in central London over the next few nights. Egli ha detto: 'Aye, I don't care [about the Covid restrictions]. I'm here to have a laugh.'

Q: Getting JSON from tmi.twitch.tv with Javascript in a Chrome extension I am trying to get the resulting JSON of https://tmi.twitch.tv/hosts?include_logins=1&host=105458682 with Javascript in a Chrome Extension, and so far I've had no success.
When I open it in a tab in Google Chrome, I get the following JSON response :
{"hosts":[{"host_id":105458682,"target_id":49780445,"host_login":"bobross","target_login":"misscoookiez"}]}

But if I try the same call from Javascript (and more precisely a Javascript used in a Chrome extension), I'll get the following error :
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://tmi.twitch.tv/hosts?include_logins=1&host=113403683. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'chrome-extension://deooplkjmdhjdicmeijmecmlnapmjhkd' is therefore not allowed access.

The code I used in Javascript is :
function callTwitch() {
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.overrideMimeType("application/json");
    req.open("GET", "https://tmi.twitch.tv/hosts?include_logins=1&host=105458682" , true);
    req.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (req.readyState == 4) {
            if (req.status == "200") {
                var data = JSON.parse(req.responseText);
                // Do something with data
            } else {
                // Do something else
            }
        }
    };
    req.send(null);
};

After some googling, I found that it's a matter of CORS. Twitch didn't set Access-Control-Allow-Origin to *on their server and that's what seems to be blocking me. I tried many different ways of getting that JSON without any success.
I don't understand how and why this JSON is available when getting it from a tab and not when getting it from Javascript...
Can anyone help me ? Is there any way of getting this JSON from Javascript?

A: I eventually found how to do cross-origin XMLHttpRequest calls from a Chrome extension : I just had to add "https://tmi.twitch.tv/" to the permissions in manifest.json, and my original code started working. More about that here : https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/xhr

Look Outside Your Window is an unreleased studio album recorded by four members of the American band Slipknot. The material was written and recorded concurrently with the sessions for the band's fourth studio album All Hope Is Gone (2008). However, its emphasis on experimentation and a more melodic rock style kept it classified as a separate body of work from Slipknot's aggressive heavy metal sound. The album was scheduled for release during the latter half of the band's We Are Not Your Kind touring cycle, which was delayed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but has since remained unreleased throughout 2022, with the possibility of the album being released in 2023.

Background and recording
The album originates with the recording sessions for Slipknot's fourth studio album All Hope Is Gone (2008). Two separate recording sessions in two separate studios occurred concurrently; the All Hope Is Gone sessions, which included the entirety of the nine-piece band, and the Look Outside Your Window sessions, which only included four band members; Corey Taylor (vocals), Jim Root (guitar), Shawn Crahan (percussion), and Sid Wilson (turntables). Crahan noted that the sessions began with himself and Root initially, with Taylor and Wilson coming in shortly later, and it became a group project shared among the four of them, separate from Slipknot, in his eyes. Taylor noted that, while the band pursued their regular heavy metal sound in the All Hope Is Gone sessions, the members who took part in the Look Outside Your Window sessions took a more experimental approach to the music. He described the material as far more melodic than typical Slipknot material, with more of a rock music-vibe, with some more artistic qualities akin to the work of Radiohead. Root recalled unconventional approaches in the sessions, including recording the song of a frog croaking, and then building a song around that recording, and having Taylor sing a track from the bottom of a well, making it sound like he was singing in a cavern.

Eleven songs were recorded in the sessions. At one point, Taylor, who loved the music from both sessions, attempted to combine the material from both projects into one collective album, creating what he described as an alternate tracklist/sequencing of All Hope Is Gone containing Look Outside Your Window material intermixed. However, due to turmoil within the band at the time, Taylor was unable to find support from any other band members on the endeavor, and he subsequently dropped the idea. Only one song from the Look Outside Your Window sessions ended up making it onto All Hope Is Gone; the track "Til We Die" originated from the Look Outside Your Window sessions, and was placed on the All Hope Is Gone special edition as a bonus track. Despite the association, Crahan maintains that the album is a "very unique art piece on its own".

Root noted the track "My Pain" had originated in the Look Outside Your Windows as well, and was later revisited and reworked onto the Slipknot album We Are Not Your Kind in 2019. Additionally, in the 2016 action thriller film Officer Downe, directed by Crahan, in the movie's credits, a song titled "Juliette" is said to be performed by "Look Outside Your Window" and written by Crahan, Taylor, Wilson and Root.

Other known song titles are "In Reverse", "Dirge" and "Chapter One, the Eleventh March", as well as the working title "Moth".

Release and promotion
Crahan and Taylor have mentioned various plans for releasing the material over the years. Crahan noted that they had wanted to release it ever since its creation in 2008, but has had difficulty with figuring out how to time the release without it interfering with other albums or band downtime. However, the album is owned by the four, not the label, so they are in charge of its release. Plans to release it early in the touring cycle for their We Are Not Your Kind (2019) album arose, though the plans were delayed as to not take away the momentum of said album, which ended up topping the album chart in the US much to Taylor's surprise. In January 2020, Crahan revealed the album, at one point had an unannounced surprise Christmas 2019 release date, but it was delayed again, for undisclosed reasons. Crahan noted that there are still plans for it to be released during the latter half of the We Are Not Your Kind touring cycle, though the COVID-19 pandemic forced the band to cancel much of their 2020 touring or reschedule for 2021. No concrete release date has been given, though publications had predicted a release in 2020 or 2021, though the album remained unreleased throughout 2022. On January 2, 2023, Crahan spoke about the possibility of the album being released later in 2023. Specifically, he noted that they aimed to release it after April 1, 2023, the date that Slipknot would no longer be signed to to Roadrunner Records. In March of the same year, Taylor, while promoting the upcoming release of his second solo album CMF2, distanced himself from the record, calling it "[Crahan]'s baby" and referring to himself as "guest star" on the album. He also noted that he didn't know the track list, didn't have the master tracks, and hoped that the album didn't ever release publicly, fearing that the hype behind the album had created hyped expectations that could never be matched by listeners.

PAX Trading > BUYING BITCOINS > Is Bitcoin really the future of money?
I have what may be seen as an obnoxious and optimistic prediction. From my own perspective, I know that bitcoin is a "sure thing". I would bet the farm on it because it is obvious, bitcoin is permanent, and its value will continue to soar. Of course, BTC will face turbulence and unforeseen surges and drops which is normal as it is the nature of cryptocurrency. I am confident that such sharp changes in price will be followed by incredible increases as long as the earth does spin around the sun.
The world would not have the brilliancy of blockchain technology without its pride and center-piece; . the beloved, original, bitcoin! It was the clever solution to so many financial problems; the pulse from which all other cryptocurrency has sprung to life and get used to its presence because someday it will be "old fashioned money" and your bitcoin will be worth thousands, dare I say hundreds-of-thousands of dollars per coin.
While governments focus on the status of bitcoin and how to regulate it, the excitement within the industry has moved to uses for bitcoin technology beyond making payments. To keep order, every bitcoin transaction is encrypted and recorded in a database called a blockchain. Think of it as a type of public ledger — when someone uses bitcoins to buy something, the blockchain records the transaction one after the other in blocks of code, each chained to the other. It is impossible for hackers to falsify the record because the database is updated across the entire network of computers running the bitcoin software, thus creating a public record of what everybody in the system owns.
This technology has lots of potential uses beyond banking. It's now possible to use the blockchain as a database that keeps all kinds of records in a secure and easily accessible place without laborious, paper-heavy processes.
It seems that Bitcoin will do to banking and finance what email did to the postal service and what the internet did to publishing: destroy old monopolies and create opportunities for the masses. Some even suggest that the technology behind Bitcoin will usurp our Western systems of representative democracy.
For many users, Bitcoin's attraction is that it frees their money from the actions of government. In countries where inflation is high as a consequence of government policies, for example, Bitcoin allows individuals to insulate themselves.
It is possible to send and receive any amount of money almost instantly anywhere in the world at any time — no borders, no limits imposed by governments, no holidays. Though technologies do exist to help law enforcement organisations link individuals to Bitcoin transactions, it is relatively simple to ensure the defeat of such efforts.
In essence, Bitcoin uses cryptography to securely conduct a transaction between a sender and a recipient. The cryptographic technology means you do not have to trust others on the network.
Yes. Bitcoin has come to stay and it's obviously the future of money…!!!

NCtimes.com features a story on how making off-road motorcycles street legal became a business for one rider.
Alan Roach, an off-road bike enthusiast, developed a kit that adds lights and turn signals to off-road bikes. Not all states welcome "dual-sport" bikes as street bikes. California has strict laws limiting off-road bikes.
Roach made the first conversion kit for his own bike, eventually turning his garage business into a company called Baja Designs.

Home Forums Gunsmithing New Remington 700 dressed up and Meh?
I scoped it, and saw the chamber was crooked in a very bad way. Even though 7mag has a freebore that should clean up all the lands till the lead takes over and lets the lands take the bullet smoothly, this chamber had lands coming all the way up to the case mouth on one side, and about 1/2″ before the lands started at 180° . One of the worst I've seen.
I told him this rifle is going to have trouble printing less than 2MOA at 100 yards with a throat like that. He was obviously upset and wanted to just throw in a Krieger, but I told him I'd like to try to save the barrel. He agreed to let me try, so I pulled the barrel and cut off the tenon, then blueprinted the receiver, added an oversize recoil lug and pinned it in place. Then I rethreaded the barrel for a perfect fit to the receiver, chambered it with the match reamer, threaded the muzzle 5/8-24, recrowned, and lapped the entire barrel. Finally, I scraped out the barrel channel, and bedded the whole mess in the stock and dressed it up with the laser engraver.
I measured the twist rate at 1/9.25 exactly (optically measured. Very reliable and accurate method).
We decided to test it out yesterday and see what shakes out. He made the loads and used 168 grain Matchking bullets over Retumbo. Results were kinda sad and lackluster. I'm going to call the precision 1.25″ average at 100 yards.
I'm willing to call a spade a spade, but I really believe it will shoot better. I just texted him and said to make some loads using that same bullet over H4831 and seat the bullet .015 off the lands this time.
However, I've never had a blueprinted rifle with a Kreiger barrel deliver anything more than .875 no matter what load I used with Hornady or Sierra bullets. I hate being stuck in limbo here. I've pulled this same routine with several factory rifles and got 1/2MOA groups (albeit with loads I MADE using powder I knew was comfortable in that cartridge.
1.25 " dosent sound that bad. But with all that work you did a little better would be nice.With a little load work you will be pushing 3/4 at 100. I guess it depends what he wants the rifle for.


It's good to have a little flash to what you're wearing.
Something that makes you stand out, slightly. A little flamboyance on the border of gaudiness. A gold ring, the recognizable Gucci Loafers, a detailed tie bar, noticeable cuff links, and some loud pops of color. They go a long way.
These things communicate that you care what people think, without caring what people think. You want to look good, but you want to look good for you, Your appearance is as much of a gift to yourself, as it is to the rest of the world.
You'll find when you do this, It polarizes people.
When you build a business, you have a target demographic you market to. if you market to everyone, you fail. But when we dress ourselves, we very much do just that.
We put on the items that won't raise an eyebrow or get a second look, while still caring enough to spend good money on a great suit, only to let it blend you into the herd. What for?
People will love you or hate you for the way you dress when you add your own pops of style. Personally, I want to know who those people are. I want to know who connects with my style and in turn, my personality.
I'm not saying to only wear what you like. Sometimes for the sake of impressions we need to conform to the masses.
What I'm saying is, don't be afraid to push the boundaries with the little things you like. You'll feel more like yourself, and you'll be able to broadcast that to the rest of the world.
Want to know what kind of items you should add to your wardrobe to make you stand out? Contact me for an easy online consultation.
