SWAC Announces Partnership with City of Birmingham
Posted on July 15, 2018 by Tee Mack
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southwestern Athletic Conference is pleased to announce a partnership with the City of Birmingham that will bring its two most high-profile championship events back to the Magic City.
With the agreement, the 2018 Toyota SWAC Football Championship returns home to Legion Field, and the Bill Harris Arena – located adjacent to the Birmingham Crossplex — will host the 2019 SWAC Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament.
"I'm grateful to Mayor Randall Woodfin and City of Birmingham on this renewed partnership to bring the SWAC football and basketball championships back to the Magic City," Interim Commissioner Edgar Gantt said. "Birmingham is a city rich in sports tradition, particularly with SWAC football, and the city has made many improvements to its sports infrastructure here in Birmingham. This next year will play an important part as the SWAC prepares for its centennial celebration."
Legion Field served as the initial site for the SWAC Football Championship from 1999 to 2012. It also hosts the annual Magic City Classic between Alabama State and Alabama A&M, which consistently ranks as the highest-attended HBCU football classic in the country.
Birmingham served as the home of the SWAC Basketball tournament during the mid-2000s, with Bill Harris Arena hosting the event as recently as 2009 before the tournament moved to what is now known as Legacy Arena for the following year. The Bill Harris Arena has hosted numerous state, conference and national championship events as well.
"Birmingham is fully committed to the SWAC, its institutions, leadership, alumni, and student-athletes. As the home of the SWAC headquarters, we are proud of the role Birmingham has played as the founding site of the SWAC football championship game and as a longtime destination for the SWAC basketball tournament. We look forward to again hosting SWAC fans for these premiere events," Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said.
The SWAC Football Championship game will be held on Dec. 1, and the SWAC Basketball Tournament will take place March 13-16.

Rachel Morrison Quotes
We really owe it to our world to infuse our entertainment with messaging.
— Rachel Morrison
Photos have the real task of bringing exposure to places that we otherwise don't have much awareness of.
I find beauty in imperfection.
Having a family is a compromise on some level, but it's so incredibly worth it. It actually informs the work that I do as a DP.
For me, I just like new challenges.
For me, it's just always about trying to tell stories that I care about.
I believe in naturalistic lighting, which isn't to say natural light.
Cinematography is so much about instinct and intuition - you want the same range of experience going into behind the camera as what you see in front of it. Your life experience will come through the lens.
The only consistency in the work I do is that I try to use cinematography to best tell the narrative and do justice to the character arcs, but not to do it in such an overt way that people are distracted by it.
I shot 'Fruitvale Station' on super-16, and then I shot a movie called 'The Harvest' on 35mm, and then I shot 'Little Accidents' on 2-perf 35.
So much of 'Mudbound' is about man's relationship to the land and to the elements. It's about the desire for control and how powerless we are against nature. We always knew we would shoot widescreen as a means to isolate a body in the frame and to highlight our own insignificance.
I think 'Sound of My Voice' was the first film where suddenly I could point to something I had done that I was proud of and say, 'Look at this piece of work.' And that's probably what led to 'Fruitvale Station,' which was the real break.
Sometimes it just takes a little longer to get to your destination, but if you make sure to enjoy the journey, eventually you will get there.
The focus has to be about making good work. I don't ever want to be hired for a job because I'm a woman. And I don't ever want to be recognized for a job because I'm a woman.
The biggest difference for me was that I operated almost every frame on 'Mudbound,' and I didn't operate on 'Black Panther.'
The cinematographer's basically translating the director's vision into imagery.
The big trick is just to get to a point where we're just considered DPs, and we're not 'female DPs.' When you think of the word 'doctor' or 'teacher,' you don't think gender. And it would be nice to get to a place where 'DP' meant either and 'director' meant either and 'gaffer' meant either.
I think lighting is a reflection of what is at stake emotionally in a movie.
I pour my blood, sweat, and tears into a movie. What I always look for is a message and a social consciousness: a relevance to what's happening in our world.
My dad, before he passed away, never understood what I did. What I say is that I'm responsible for translating the director's vision, hopefully turning an idea into something people can connect to and relate to.
When I was studying photography, I became interested in conflict photojournalism, and that got me interested in lighting. Then I realized there was this amazing thing called cinematography where you could kind of tell more complete stories photographing for film. So I ended up going to AFI grad school for that.
I think there's this assumption that everybody would rather be a director, and I don't know that that's the case for me, so we'll see.
Authenticity, to me, is something that you feel, and if it doesn't feel authentic, you pick up on it right away.
To me, as an audience member, movies always come to a screeching halt when they get to their action scenes. They always feel like they drag on to me.
Photography was a way for me to freeze time and to capture the moments that were happy and healthy. I saw a photo as a way to go back to a memory if I ever needed to.
I don't love cinematography that's very flashy because I find that it keeps the audience from becoming a part of the film; it becomes sort of self-reflective.
We shot 'Mudbound' in the South in the summer, which meant we were working in extreme heat and humidity at all times and that it could go from glaring sun to overcast skies to pouring rain in a matter of minutes, often shifting multiple times a day.
It's always a challenge to shoot a period film and not have it look like you hit the tea stain button in post.
I did photography in summer camp; I did it in high school. The only hard decision I've had to make was whether to go towards photo or film. And I ultimately realized that the type of photo I was interested in was actually photojournalism. And it's a very individualist career, whereas film is a very team-driven medium. So that's why I chose film.
Success doesn't come overnight, especially for women.
Usually, if you notice good cinematography, then the cinematographer's failing. I try to make light feel like it's always motivated and natural in some way and hope that the lighting goes unnoticed.
When you're so used to operating the camera, it's an extension of your eye and your heart and your head.
There's something so inspiring about being in real locations, where you can feel the tactile qualities from the layer of paint that has been chipping off and the hundreds of years that have been lived in the space.
My experience - I'll never know what happens behind closed doors or why I don't get hired for something, but I've never had an experience that made me feel any less than.
Life is unpredictable, and I feel, to some extent, lighting and cinematography should be a reflection of that.
I love faces that have freckles. I love faces that have wrinkles. For me, beauty is naturalism, I guess.
I really do believe that the experience of having a child is going to actually make me a much better cinematographer.
I kind of grew up with a camera in my hand.
If there's anything consistent about my work, it's not flat.
Part of the reason why I love to operate is because I find that so much of what we do is instinctual. It's dancing with the actors and responding to their body language, and you feel what the right place for the camera is at any given moment.
The first female DPs that I was aware of were Ellen Kuras, Mandy Walker, Nancy Schreiber, Amy Vincent, Sandi Sissel, Maryse Alberti and Tami Reiker. You look for a role model as somebody who looks like yourself and is doing what you want to do; they were the handful.
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was four. And she was re-diagnosed when I was seven or eight, and again when I was 13, and my dad was very unhealthy, too. I was living on the edge of mortality my entire childhood.
It would be naive to say that you could make a movie on film for the same price you can digitally.
When shooting in real spaces, the work of a cinematographer begins where location meets production design meets time of day. No movie light will ever look as real as the sun, so scheduling becomes truly paramount to naturalistic lighting.
I love the team aspect of filmmaking.
I was probably five when I first picked up a camera. My mom had an Olympus OM-10 that she carried around to document our family photos. And I just always loved it.
I might be one of the very few people in this industry who doesn't have a 'me too' story.
Documentaries are inherently instinctual; you're constantly moment to moment, determining what the best place for the camera is to tell the story, usually in service of natural lighting.
I think Marvel's incredibly supportive of young auteurs and really let them do their thing and support their vision. They give you a sandbox to play in, but it's a pretty massive one.
My lighting tends to use contrast as a reflection of the stakes in the scene. The higher the stakes, the more I feel I can get away with an exaggerated contrast.

Thanks to @LyallCallum for this art piece!
Yuan-ti are humanoids and monstrosities that are varying degrees of human-snake hybrids. These serpentine characteristics are seeing as blessings from the Cloaked Serpent (Zehir), one of the Betrayer Gods. Therefore, the more snake traits one has, the higher ranking the yuan-ti is considered. Before arriving at the temple, the Nein saw a variety of yuan-ti: purebloods with minimal snake-features, malisons with humanoid bodies and snake heads, and abominations that resemble massive snakes with arms. The ancestors of the yuan-ti living on Urukayxl were responsible for overtaking the temple to Zehir's greatest creation, the leviathan Uk'otoa. They helped seal him away, and redecorated the temple with iconography of Zehir.
When The Mighty Nein arrived at the top of the temple, they discovered a table designed for sacrifice. We can't know if that was part of the original design of the temple or that was a yuan-ti addition, but the yuan-ti have certainly put it to use. Once inside the temple, the Nein realized that the blood from the sacrifices dripped down into a fountain. They didn't get much further than that before Nott triggered a staircase trap, causing them to fall unceremoniously into the first chamber to the feet of four yuan-ti: three pureblood priestesses and one malison, a mind whisperer.
Purebloods make up the lowest of the yuan-ti caste system. Unlike the rest of the species, they are considered humanoid, and may be mistaken for humans from a distance. Up close, though, the "blessing" of their serpentine nature is quite obvious in the scales on their skin and their yellow eyes.
In the little time they had to act, the cultists relied on their own ceremonial weapons and innate powers of suggestion. One of the cultists was dispatched before she could act, while another failed to get Beau to take a seat in a place with no chairs. Another tried to trounce Nott while she was still prone, but the rogue's uncanny dodge turned a weak attack into a mere scratch. Her continued assault against Nott, while as effective as she could muster, was barely enough to register as a threat for the party as they all made her very aware that she was the last one standing.
Unlike the purebloods, yuan-ti malisons like the mind whisperer have been mutated beyond the status of humanoid to full monstrosity, rendering them immune to spells like Hold Person. Their devotion to the Cloaked Serpent only enhances the mutation into a form more akin to their deity, allowing them a higher status among the yuan-ti than the purebloods, including that of spiritual leader.
The Mind Whisperer's Mind Fangs ability allows a regular attack to go beyond its normal bounds and deal an incredible amount of psychic damage to its target. Fortunately, even if he had survived beyond the two rounds of the encounter, he can only pull that off twice a day, both of which were used on Beau and Caleb. The Mighty Nein took the mind whisperer out before he could get a second round turn. This still proved ideal; even without additional uses of Mind Fangs, he still had an entire slew of unused spells at his disposal, including Eldritch Blast, Expeditious Retreat, and Fly.
The loss of the element of surprise made the encounter slightly less straightforward than it had the potential to be. However, relatively speaking, it was still a fairly easy encounter. The priestesses, while certainly practiced in murder, were not built to take the damage in return. Beau, Yasha, and Avantika quickly mopped the floor using their might, while the rest of the party pinged the targets from range at the best of their ability. Clay put his Path to the Grave ability to use, paving the way for Yasha's devastating killing blow against the Mind Whisperer and setting the party up for a new combo for future encounters. Beau tanked the majority of the damage from this encounter.
The party took one alive, who stayed alive long enough to demonstrate that Common is also a part of the yuan-ti tongue. She killed herself rather than blaspheme her god, forcing The Mighty Nein to figure out how to progress past the fountain on their own.
The sacrifice feeds the fountain.

Five Jansky Fellows Look to the Future of Radio Astronomy
Credit: NRAO/AUI/NSF
A central mission of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) is to nurture and inspire the next generation of radio astronomers. One way NRAO does this is through the Jansky Fellowship Program. Jansky Fellows are allowed to pursue their personal research interests with the support of NRAO observatories. This year, five postdoctoral awards were made.
Kimberly Emig
"I'm looking forward to working with the many experts in Charlottesville," said Kimberly Emig. Her doctoral work has focused on the gas and dust of interstellar space. When interstellar gas is exposed to the intense light of large stars, it ionizes. Electrons in the gas break free of their atoms. When the atoms and electrons recombine, they emit radio light. Kimberly can observe this light through observations made by the Very Large Array (VLA). "My goal is to study the interstellar medium and its role in the evolution of galaxies."
Bang Nhan
Bang Nhan studies the early universe in the period known as the Cosmic Dawn and Dark Age. It is the time after the hot glow of the Big Bang, but before the first stars and galaxies were born. Since there is no starlight during this time, he studies the period by observing the radio emissions of neutral hydrogen, sometimes called the 21-cm line. "A common challenge in the 21-cm observation is to extract the weak cosmic signal embedded in our own bright Milky Way," Bang said. To capture the faint signal of the early universe, Bang will be upgrading the telescope at Green Bank known as the Cosmic Twilight Polarimeter (CTP), to better observe this neutral hydrogen.
Pallavi Patil
Pallavi Patil studies a different period of the universe, known as Cosmic Noon. It is a time about 10 billion years ago when galaxies were their most active. Pallavi's doctoral research focused on active supermassive black holes during this period. "As a Jansky Fellow, I will study a special class of galaxies that have recently ignited supermassive black holes." Pallavi said. Galaxies with active black holes are rare in the nearby universe, but were more common during Cosmic Noon. They play an important role in the formation of galaxies. "I can't wait to be a part of the astronomical community at NRAO Socorro."
Jacob White
"It's an incredible honor to be selected as a Jansky Fellow to work at the NRAO," said Jacob White. Through Measuring the Emission of Stellar Atmospheres at Submillimeter/millimeter wavelengths (MESAS), Jacob has been studying the atmospheres of stars. MESAS looks at the radio light emitted by a star's atmosphere through observatories such as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Young stars often have circumstellar debris, which also emits radio light. It can be difficult to distinguish radio light from stars versus light from debris. For his fellowship, Jacob plans to build a catalog of the radio emissions of stars, to better distinguish between the two.
Dyas Utomo
Dyas Utomo plans to study molecular gas in deep space. The interstellar medium is made mostly of hydrogen, but only a fraction of it is cold enough to form molecules. "I will approach my research by gathering high-resolution observations in a large number of nearby galaxies," said Dyas. He is interested in how interstellar gas forms into molecules, and how molecular clouds form into stars. Dyas hopes to capture a variety of environments that may affect star formation. "I'm glad to continue my research at NRAO Charlottesville and looking forward to collaborate with people there," Dyas said.
The goals of these Jansky fellows are ambitious. Each brings a tremendous amount of skill to their work, and with the support of the NRAO these scholars will broaden our understanding of the universe in new and exciting ways.
Watch this space.

Cobb ready to meet Sherman in slot
A year ago, Richard Sherman was a statue in the Seattle Seahawks' defense.
Cobb ready to meet Sherman in slot A year ago, Richard Sherman was a statue in the Seattle Seahawks' defense. Check out this story on packersnews.com: https://pck.rs/1F5sfFl
Ryan Wood, USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin Published 7:51 p.m. CT Sept. 17, 2015 | Updated 8:58 p.m. CT Sept. 17, 2015
Green Bay Packers receiver Randall Cobb (18) stretches for the ball against the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field on Sept. 4, 2014.(Photo: Jim Matthews/Press-Gazette Media)
A year ago, Richard Sherman was a statue in the Seattle Seahawks' defense. He lined up on the left side of the field, every snap. He never moved, no matter which Green Bay Packers receiver lined up across from him.
Sherman, one of the NFL's best cornerbacks, had a more versatile role in the Seahawks' opening-game loss at the St. Louis Rams. He lined up at left cornerback on about 60 percent of his snaps, far less than usual. When he wasn't on the left side of the field, Sherman often played the slot.
One week before the Seahawks travel to Lambeau Field to play the Packers, the timing of Sherman's move was notable. Packers receiver Randall Cobb, the league's highest-paid slot receiver, might get matched up against Sherman consistently Sunday night.
"That could be a possibility," Cobb said. "That's what they showed in the first week. That was really the first time that you've seen him there. A little bit in the Super Bowl game last year, but it is a little bit of a difference for him."
While Sherman developed a reputation for never moving from one side of the field to another — same as Packers' top cornerback Sam Shields — that hasn't been the only way the Seahawks have used him. Still, the overwhelming majority of his snaps have come from one spot.
The Packers tried to use that to their advantage during last season's opener, consistently lining up secondary receiver Jarrett Boykin against Sherman and star receiver Jordy Nelson on the opposite side of the field. Sherman never moved over to cover Nelson, no matter how many times Boykin lined up against him.
Now, the Packers won't have Nelson. His season ended with a torn ACL during the preseason. In his absence, Cobb is the Packers' top receiver target. That could encourage the Seahawks to move Sherman into the slot even more Sunday.
"Richard can do it all," Rodgers said. "He's a talented guy. Doesn't matter. You know a lot of times, slot guys are kind of smaller in stature. Richard, he's kind of a different animal. He can do it all. Outside or inside, he's got great ball skills, intelligent, understands route concepts really well. You've got to figure out where he's at every play."
Cobb said Sherman is "still the same player" when he covers slot receivers. At 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, he uses his length and strength to control leverage against receivers at the line of scrimmage. Sherman has to patrol more field space in the slot, but his move inside doesn't change the Seahawks' style of defense.
"They're going to play man (coverage)," Cobb said. "They're going to play Cover 3 that they always splay. You just have to be prepared for those things and work off his technique."
If Cobb faces Sherman on Sunday, he'll probably have to beat him without being at full health.
Cobb said his sprained right shoulder feels "one week better" than it did entering the team's opener in Chicago, but it's still sore. He wouldn't say how close his shoulder feels to being healthy, or whether it limits him on the field.
Of course, it didn't prevent him from scoring a touchdown against the Bears last week.
"He's battling through injuries," receivers coach Alex Van Pelt said. "He's tough as nails. He just has to take care of them during the week and make sure he gets to game day, and he's in the best place on game day. That's the biggest challenge. Game day takes care of itself, adrenaline and everything that comes with that.
"I thought he performed well in Chicago. That's a tough deal. He'll get better every week. He'll heal every week."

Kafir has the elements of a scary and terrifying horror movie. The jump scare scenes are spot on.
the movie was good but it was really scary and thrilling. the jump scares were alot too. recommend !!
A clearly pleasant horror experience.
Kafir means meaning "unbeliever", or "disbeliever". Kafir as a horror film that moves calmly in conveying the mystery elements in the story. As the figure of Sari, Ayudya plays a central role in building and maintaining the integrity of the mystery that Kafir wants to convey. And Ayudya executed his task perfectly.


I used winrar, for the sdk I zipped Development tools folder, for fleet software folder, I took mlm file out and I zipped map, check the name in side mlm file to rename the maps.zip, just give them the name from the first post, is working very good.
If i return from hibernate, centrafuse goes white and doesn't react for around 5secs, thats annoying.
The second part is that if i want to close centrafuse, it takes a long time to exit. If i disable the navigation engine, it works almost perfect.
I use two screen, one for the main cf and one for the navigation , but sygic will not move on display 2, only the dialog in case I press the menu or the wiev button.
is that because the plugin? if I use navigator is working fine, beside a bug, that everytime I skip a song navigation close.
Next version of Integration tool will have Upgrade option which will not check for SDK files but in your case you must copy all SDK files manualy to right places if not you will have problems(freezing CF on close, sharing NAV data to other plugins do not work in FULL version buttons&menu's do not work...) how to check if SDK Init run ok?
01:54.40> ep5Onil9v(): Pipe Server Started.
I will check for your resume issue. Does your SDK Init work as must?
Multi zones are not supported yet. I will try connect one 7" USB LCD to dev PC and test and fix problem.
Last Edit: 02 Apr 2012 18:41 by _Dejan_.
Nothinng about "upgrade plugin" instead of the "complete install plugin"?
And what about the multi-display?
New tool is uploaded in first post. Upgrade option is added. Tool install old plugin version 4.0.1.0.
does this new build work with the new sdk files? Or do I still need to make my own?
in a days i'll try the new plugin in "upgrade mode".
- only modify the needed files, clear the DllCache and open CF if you want.
I think the installation folder is smaller and make installation faster.
In FULL install mode you need seperate files. Im check on my sygic download links but seperate files still works. I don't have download link which have all files in one zip file so can't test and implement other installation methods.
Did you try or didn't try upgrade option?
Upgrade option not and will not check for FLEET & SDK ZIP files, install SDK files, patch FLEET application, start FLEET application. It only install plugin, set it as default navigation engine, clear DLLCache folder, setup Drive path to setings.xml.
New version is avalible for download.
Last Edit: 20 Apr 2012 23:15 by _Dejan_.
29-04-2012 17:04:25 - FULL Installation is started.
29-04-2012 17:04:25 - Checking for FLEET & SDK files.
29-04-2012 17:04:25 - Searching for the SDK files.
29-04-2012 17:04:25 - SDK files found (Size: 2,415,972).
29-04-2012 17:04:25 - SDK files not valid.
29-04-2012 17:04:25 - Installation terminated.
How do I check the version number of the SDK file?
Installation instructions says that I need to find 2 zip files on my Sygic account.
> 2) Download SDK_14s.zip, FLEET_XP_14s.zip, MLM file and MAP from Sygic your account and put it in "SygicInstall" folder.
Can see there are others who can not find them.
I've made them as version 14g was made. Downloaded earlier on this website.


Most of us look forward to the weekend. Whether it's for sleeping in late, catching up with friends, spending time with family or enjoying the occasional getaway, the weekend breaks up the routine of the work week and reminds us that life is more than just toil.
Any introvert will tell you that scheduling "alone time" to replenish our energy after the rigors of the work week is not a luxury. If I don't regularly return to my natural element of stillness, silence and solitude, I stop feeling like myself and literally cannot function.
So many people complain that the weekend is too short, and many of us struggle with the pesky feeling that we're wasting our weekends. Whenever I feel like the weekend has flown by before I could really enjoy it, it's usually because I allowed the nagging impulse to do more and be more distract from my enjoyment of the present moment.
Also, as an ambitious introvert, I can feel guilty and lost if I'm not in the process of pursuing some goal or the other, particularly when I finally have the solitude to do so. Yet doing nothing is a worthy goal in and of itself.
Another reason weekends can feel inadequate is because, in a fast-paced world, resting isn't valued as much as it should be, so when we rest we don't feel the same sense of accomplishment or satisfaction as when we work. Introverts, who have a pronounced need for silence, stillness and reflection, can feel odd, embarrassed and out of place when, all around us, society expects and praises busyness.
In fact, we're often guilt-tripped by our more extroverted friends and family who are stimulated and socialize differently from us. Here are six tips for owning your weekends and feeling good about it.
The weekend is the perfect time to make yourself unavailable to all but a few choice people. There is such a thing as being over-connected, a state in which we're always "switched on" for the benefit of others, with a myriad of ever-shifting demands placed upon us.
Switching off the television, radio, computer, and cell phone allows us to recoup from our lives of chronic engagement, multitasking and information overload, and get back to the calmer pace of pre-technology life.
As an introvert, I use the Internet and text messaging to interact with the world with minimal drain on my energy. To avoid dependency and overuse, I have chosen to not join any social media platforms and I use a free time management app that limits my screen time.
Research shows that too much technology use has adverse, wearying effects on the mind and body. Studies have documented the health benefits of unplugging for even a few hours, everything from better sleep and reduced muscle pain, to improved mood and concentration.
For some of us, the weekend is the only time we have to do brunch with a friend, attend church, complete chores or volunteer. If you're a non-social introvert who is actively trying to be more social, it can be tempting to fill up your weekends with extroverted activities and social engagements.
While it's practical and healthy to use the weekend to get things done and connect with people other than our co-workers, it's also important to make sure our weekends aren't hectic and over-scheduled.
Most introverts prefer weekends to be low-key and leisurely, yet we still have a deep need to meaningfully connect with others. We can find ourselves struggling against societal norms that pressure us to approach weekend activities the way extroverts do.
For example, I prefer to attend social events with a set beginning and ending time, but my more extroverted family and friends plan social events that are often improvised and can seemingly go on forever. I regularly have to remind myself that it's okay to leave an event "early" even if I'm the only one doing so.
The key is to remember that because of the way we're wired, we have an extra need for solitude and require longer periods of mental and physical recuperation. Trust your body; it's a better gauge for ensuring your health and sanity than social norms.
Let go of the idea that you're boring for not wanting to spend the entire night at a dance club, or that you're somehow missing out on something if you accept your introverted preferences.
Free time is anything but a waste of time; it's actually an investment in our relationships since we're best able to give to others, contribute to our communities and enjoy experiences when we're energized. Remember, quality not quantity is what counts.
Meditation is a gentle but powerful way to release tension and stress accumulated during the work week. I have discovered that getting in touch with and nurturing a connection with the present moment is key for accessing healing, self-acceptance and joy. We all have the capacity to experience this powerful awareness of "being-ness", but this requires that we slow down and focus inward, something that us introverts know how to do very well.
Mediating doesn't have to mean sitting crossed-legged on a yoga mat with your eyes closed. You can meditate by listening to guided meditation audio while driving, doing meditative physical exercises like tai chi and qigong, or actively staying aware of your body and non-judgmentally observing your thoughts as you stroll through the park.
What is most important is to find the form of meditation that feels freeing and comfortable for you.
The weekend is the perfect time to refocus on our bodies and shower our introverted souls with attention. The exertion required to interact with extroverted co-workers and function in overstimulating work environments can leave us tense, numb and physically drained.
Also, many of us work in mentally demanding professions that keep us locked into the sphere of the mind and disconnected from the wisdom of our bodies. Introverts, who spend most of our time in our heads to begin with, can experience this mind-body disconnect more acutely.
Taking long, hot showers, or relaxing in a mineral bath soak are great, effective ways to get back in touch with your body and reward yourself for challenging yourself all week. You can also try progressive muscle relaxation or treat yourself to a massage. Aromatherapy oils like lavender and juniper, and soft, soothing music also have positive, calming effects on the autonomic nervous system.
I drink soothing herbal teas like chamomile, peppermint, lemon balm and kava teas that have been proven to aid physical relaxation. I own a bubble foot spa massager that I use ritualistically on weekends, and I make sure a significant part of my weekend is spent outside in nature, even if it just means sunbathing in my yard.
Remember, self-care means different things to different people. An extrovert might care for herself by shopping in a busy mall, while an introvert who likes to shop might care for himself by shopping online. The key is to nurture your soul by doing something enjoyable that makes you feel healthy and happy, and that connects you to your authentic, sensual self.
For introverts, activities like gardening, painting, crafts, baking, journaling, people-watching, yoga, swimming, cycling and dancing have relaxing effects and can be done alone or with just one other person.
It's perfectly okay to keep your weekends sacred for solitude and rest. Rest as a spiritual principle is an age-old tradition evident in the existence of customs such as the Sabbath and the Spanish siesta.
Rest doesn't necessarily mean inactivity or sleeping; rather, rest is the mental and spiritual state of being in harmony with ourselves, the world and the divine. In this state, the soul is untethered from the pressures of life regardless of what we are doing.
I've found that the more I embrace this spiritual heritage of rest, the more I open up to an authentic experience of life as an introvert deeply attuned to my true desires, natural habits and what I have to offer the world.
If you're an introvert, know that your need to rest and withdraw regularly is not a weakness. Rather, it's a call to intentional living and an invitation to return to a wise equilibrium. It's a chance to come home to yourself, and to find joy in the wonders of life that are often missed in a world of distraction.
Frank Sinatra famously sang "I did it my way." So do it your way. Trust in the divine wisdom that made you exactly as you are for a reason. There really are no rules, so own your introverted weekends. Know that you are free to use this time on earth as you wish.
As you veer off the beaten track of conventional weekend expectations, you'll discover a vast freedom to experience life at your own pace, in your own beautiful way, in your own comfortable skin.

Meet Kyle James, a rising senior IMC and Sport Studies major!
Kyle is spending his summer working full time at Campus Center & Event Services as a Lead Operations Manager, and is also researching the effects of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games on the infrastructure of Salt Lake City, building off of an independent study Kyle completed in Spring 2015. Thanks in part to a grant from the Honors Program, Kyle will also be spending about a week in Utah delving further into his research!
Kyle's favorite part about the Honors program is that is pushes you out of your comfort zone.
What's Tom been up to this summer? There is, of course, plenty of planning for the upcoming year, but he does get time away. He, and his two youngest, climbed their first of the 46 Adirondack High Peaks in July. The picture is from the top of Giant Mt, the 12th highest peak in New York and a climb of 3050 feet.
IC Honors is now on LinkedIn!
Honorites, Alumni and all of the professional world can now connect with us on LinkedIn. We'll hopefully be posting career tips and tricks for both alumni and current Honorites as our pages gets started. This also offers a great opportunity for networking, so if you're looking for some connections before you graduate, use this page as a tool to help you network with Honors alumni. Here is the link to our page, go forth and follow!
Meet Hannah, a rising junior Documentary Studies major!
Hannah is extremely busy this summer — she's interning with Veverka Brothers Productions out of Brooktondale for their documentary Passfire (a film about fireworks culture throughout the world) as their Assistant Producer and will be traveling alongside her producers to Wyoming for their rough cut's selected screening in August at the Pyrotechnics Guild International Convention. She'll also be headed to the IC Galway, Ireland arts program in July with Professors Utterson and Monagan. In addition to all that, she's working on finishing post-production on her own independent documentary!
Hannah has had a great experience with taking Honors classes so far.
Meet Evan, a rising senior Business Administration major!
Evan's favorite experience in the Honors program was with one of his seminars!

Every office has different rules and traditions in their business, but they all have one thing in common – the dress code. Professional business women should always look classy, stylish and no skin should be left distastefully uncovered. Sometimes, this business look can come off as dull, but if you know what to combine, you will still look stunning and professional.
Many ladies believe that if they are successful enough and manage to earn money from their business, the look is not that important. Well, if you show up at work wearing sneakers and a regular shirt and sweatpants, no one is going to take you seriously. It's all about the image you create and business attire helps. Stylish and formal clothes that you wear at work will accentuate your skills, professionalism and qualifications. The more formal you dress the more competent and serious you look, which is always a big plus in the business world. However, that doesn't mean you cannot wear comfortable and colorful clothes, it just puts an accent on dressing office-appropriately and creating your own elegant style.
When creating your business style, you can never go wrong with the classic black and white combos. Simple black pant suit combined with a white shirt or a top and a pair of pumps of a medium height are the safest play. Another timeless classic among colors is navy blue. Many women's suits, formal dresses and other work attire are made in this royal shade and it suits everyone. If paired with a white shirt, statement necklace or even bright red pumps, this outfit will exude elegant professionalism you're striving for. Despite the fact that black, white and navy blue are never going to be out of style, today's fashion requires a bit more experimentation. Trends are inclined towards neutral and calm overtones correctly combined with each other, such as white, gray, deep gray, pastel tones, olive shades, brown and sand shades. Also, you can be bold and pick some accessories and details in wine color or other shades of red, but be careful not to pick the brightest ones.
The neckline of your shirt should never go lower than 4 inches below your collarbones.
The shortest sleeves you should wear are the ones extending to the end of your shoulders. No spaghetti straps allowed.
No short hemlines. The safest length is at the knee or just an inch or two above them.
Backless anything is not appropriate for the office. Leave those for casual parties. If you wish to wear such tops at work, cover them with a blazer or a stylish jacket.
Sloppy, messy clothes will instantly create a sloppy image about you. Clients and colleagues will think you're not dedicated to your job, since you couldn't even iron your clothes. Opt for materials that don't wrinkle easily, no matter how much time you spend sitting in one place. Your best choices are sturdy synthetic materials, such as lyocell and polyester, but you will also be safe with wool and cashmere. Just remember not to look tacky and pick the materials that you consider comfortable. However, if you don't like synthetic materials, just be sure to iron the clothes before leaving for work.
Even though it is not right to judge the person by the clothes they wear, that's just how it is in the business world. Don't allow yourself to be treated with disrespect just because your wardrobe is sloppy. Create a serious image and don't let anything stop you from achieving your goals.

Q: Writing an application event handler I am trying to write an unhandled exception event handler as in this question
Catching application crash events
But the code as given won't compile, giving the message
error BC30590: Event 'UnhandledException' cannot be found.

How to fix?  Do I need to import something (I'm new to VB) - if so then what?
Partial Friend Class MyApplication
    Private Sub MyApplication_UnhandledException(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.UnhandledExceptionEventArgs) Handles Me.UnhandledException
        MsgBox(e.Exception.Message + vbNewLine + e.ToString())
    End Sub
End Class

A: In order for the MyApplication partial class to work, it must be in the same namespace as the primary MyApplication class.  If it's not, that means that you are just creating a whole new MyApplication class which doesn't include that event.  To fix your code, make sure that the partial class is in the My namespace, like this:
Namespace My
    Partial Friend Class MyApplication
        Private Sub MyApplication_UnhandledException(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.UnhandledExceptionEventArgs) Handles Me.UnhandledException
            ' ...
        End Sub
    End Class

Mother Is Reunited With Her Daughter 69 Years After Thinking She Died During Childbirth
by Lauren Novak
69 years ago in 1949, Genevieve Purinton gave birth to a daughter when she was only 18 years old. At the hospital, she was told that her baby died during childbirth. She accepted this and moved on with her life. However, at 88 years old, she received the surprise of a lifetime when she found out that her daughter was in fact alive.
For whatever reason, the hospital told Genevieve that her daughter died during birth. However, the baby was actually sent to an orphanage and adopted by a family in California. The daughter, Connie Moultroup, now age 69, received an Ancestry DNA test kit for Christmas last year. The results gave her the name of her mother and other family members.
How Connie Found Her Birth Mother
Connie was able to find the phone number of a cousin, who was able to put her in touch with her birth mother Genevieve. Connie reveals that she has wanted to meet her mother for a lifetime. She recalls wishing she could find her birth mother as early as five years old.
Genevive had been living alone without any family in a Tampa, Florida assisted living home. Her eight siblings had all passed away and she had lived her entire life thinking her only daughter died during childbirth. She said she had wanted to see the baby, but the hospital told her she had died.
When the pair first spoke, they talked on the phone for 30 minutes. After that, they talked several times a week and Connie decided it was finally time to fly to Florida to meet her mother. When they met in person, they couldn't believe their eyes. They look exactly alike. Connie said that they have similar facial features and bad knees.
The Touching Reunion 69 Years In The Making
They also realized that they have both suffered from heart attacks and strokes, something that is clearly in their genes. When they met, Connie told Genevieve that she has a daughter and several grandchildren. How sweet that after all these years Genevieve has a family again! What do you think about this touching story? Can you believe that someone was told their baby died when she was clearly alive?
If you enjoyed this heartwarming reunion story, please SHARE with your friends and family who will love to read this! Check out a video of their reunion below as well and prepare to shed some happy tears!


Proverbs 31 speaks so beautifully to the character and priorities that a godly woman possesses. We live in a society that so often scrutinizes us for what we think, how we look and what we wear. Being a woman of God allows us to be confident in who we are and what He created us to be. Whether you are single, married, a mother, a grandmother, a widow, or any combination of those, our Ladies' Retreats will speak to your heart and strengthen your spirit. Being a daughter of the King and a chosen woman in His kingdom is a blessing and an honor that should encourage us to hold our heads up high and praise Him for who we are and what He has created. Our annual Ladies' Retreat is designed to encourage all ladies, and guests are always welcomed & invited to join us! It helps ladies both discover different areas of need for service in His kingdom as they also find new insights to grow in their own relationship with our heavenly father.
Plans for our next retreat are in the works... stay tuned for details!

References and Suggested Further Reading:
Astrology for the Soul
Cafe Astrology Notes: This is an invaluable work, both for those new to Astrology and advanced students of the subject. The positions of the Nodes of the Moon by sign are interpreted in detail. The approach is both spiritual and practical. Jan Spiller offers advice for how to best work with the individual issues we face as a result of the placement of the highly sensitive nodal axis of the Moon.
Each chapter is dedicated to extensive interpretations of the position of the Moon's North Node through each zodiac sign, and is broken down into sections: "Overview" offers specific attributes to develop, tendencies to leave behind, and the basic desires of the group; "Personality" describes the general traits and issues peculiar to the position; "Needs" reveals the basic needs of the individual along with practical suggestions for how to go about satisfying them; "Relationships" reveals some patterns of relating to significant others; "Goals" offers the strengths and weaknesses of each position's tendency to seek what they want; and "Healing Theme Song" presents lyrics to the author's songs designed to help heal the lessons for each group.
The author often writes of past lives, but keep in mind that the book is useful to those who don't subscribe to past life theories. "Astrology for the Soul" is beautifully written and offers valuable insights into the lessons and issues that face each position (by sign) of the North Node. The chapters can be read just as easily using the house placement of the North Node–if your North Node is in the first house, for example, the North Node in Aries chapter will apply. Highly Recommended
Karmic Astrology Volume 1: The Moon's Nodes and Reincarnation by Martin Schulman
Cafe Astrology Note: Although written almost 30 years ago, this book contains valuable information about the Nodes of the Moon by sign and house! A fave.
New Moon Astrology: Using New Moon Power Days
Cafe Astrology Note: New Moon Astrology by Jan Spiller, although dedicated mostly to the power of the New Moon in self-development efforts, contains insightful information about the Nodes of the Moon.
The first portion of the book is devoted to providing practical instructions for creating and verbalizing wishes in relation to the days of the New Moon in each sign of the zodiac. The New Moon periods are considered to be power periods in the astrological cycle, with the signs defining the areas of life and our personalities that we can focus our wishes for self-development on.
The section on the Nodes of the Moon offers practical solutions for releasing past karma based on our positions of the Moon's Nodes by sign and house. Specific wishes and affirmations are included for these positions. Although very adequate in terms of interpretations of the Nodes of the Moon, Jan Spiller's Astrology for the Soul (at left) covers these points in greater depth.

The Moon enters Aquarius at 8:21 AM EST, and the New Moon occurs at 4:43 PM, marking the beginning of a new cycle. Friendship, kinship, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group can come into sharp focus. New beginnings regarding any of these matters are possible now. With this potent Aquarius energy, we have the chance to make exciting, progressive changes in our lives. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters. We have the opportunity to come up with very workable ideas that are also innovative.
This New Moon's square to Uranus suggests a rebellious time when abrupt moves are possible. We're especially concerned with progress and freedom now. All major planets are direct, and there appear to be fewer blocks to progress.
The void Moon period ends when it enters Aquarius at 8:21 AM EST.

"I had a stopped up commode and called Big City Plumbing. They came within a couple of hours and detected the problem immediately. The 2 technicians were professional and thorough. I will use them again."
"Homer was very professional & knowledgeable. Big City Plumbing will be the only plumbers I'll call from now on. They also charged less than the other places that I called.Keep up the great service Big City!!"
"Big City Plumbing has always sent the hardest working and knowledgeable young men to my house. Honest about pricing and always on time! They have installed 2 water softeners for me for much less than the big/well known water softener companies. Will definitely call them if I have any further plumbing needs."
"Big City has been my plumbing company ever since they first started out. I have an older home with complicated plumbing issues. I have had to have the pipes under my house fixed twice now and they did both jobs. They had to dig under my cement foundation. Travis is always there to talk with. Big City has done small jobs for us and huge jobs for us. They are the BEST!!!!! Very honest and trust worthy."
"Took care of my leaky tub and had the part in the van..saved the day."

Home > Business > Which Doctors Are Eligible For A Home Loan From Bajaj Finserv?
If you are a doctor, you surely know how relieving it is to go back home and relax after a hectic day. Constant running around for surgeries and addressing the patients can really be tiring. However, the comfort provided by an owned home is much better and relieving than that of a rental one. The experience of owning a house is totally different which cannot be achieved in a rented apartment.
Despite the comfort an owned home gives, it can really get expensive when it comes to buying one. Especially when looking at the fluctuation in policies and the rates, purchasing a property can really seem out of the budget, specifically if you are looking for one in metropolitan cities. In case, if you are a new physician, there are chances that you can feel the house buying situation a bit intimidating. Since, you have to do both manage your clinic and look for a housing property plus understand all the formalities or legal matter.
Apparently, in such a situation, you can look upon financial institutions as they offer professional loans. Many Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) like Bajaj Finserv offer professional loans for doctors, wherein the loan option is tailor-made understanding the needs and requirements of a physician. However, this loan option is much more than it seems. The loan makes sure that you are able to fulfil your needs and requirements without any alteration.
Suppose, you are looking for a two bedroom apartment in a metro city, which is priced at INR 1.5 Crore. Now, since the apartment is priced high, there are chances you might face problem for the loan approval. However, the case is different when applying for a Home Loan For Doctors. A professional loan for doctors offers a loan amount worth INR 3 Crore. This means you can easily finance your dream house. Apart from this, there is no hassle when it comes to documentation, as there are only a few documents that an NBFC will ask. The NBFC may ask you Know Your Customer (KYC), Address proof, Signature proof, Medical Registration Certification, PAN card, IT Returns & Balance Sheet & P/L Account statement for the last two years and a copy of property paper to be mortgaged. Besides, the loan is also approved faster if you fit in the eligibility criteria set by the lender.
How to know if you are eligible for the loans for doctors or not?
Doctor loan can be only beneficial if you fit in the eligibility criteria. Though the loan option is for doctors, not every doctor is considered eligible for the mortgage. However, you need to be one of the following when applying for the doctor loan.
Super Specialist Doctors (MD/DM/DS) – No minimum years of experience post-qualification.
Above mentioned is the list of doctors who are considered eligible for the loan for doctors. In case, if you are planning to apply for Doctor Loan, you can visit Bajaj Finserv as they offer good schemes that can benefit the doctors. However, you can also visit their website and apply for the loan, as the process won't be a time-consuming one.

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! Join the West End and Broadway smash-hit musical Rock Of Ages on their Farewell Tour in 2023 – starring Kevin Kennedy (Coronation Streets 'Curly Watts'). Find out more
Cookies We use cookies to ensure you get the best experience on our website. Find out more
We've got some exciting new opportunities for you to engage with in 2023, so do keep an eye on this page!
PAINES PLOUGH OPEN WRITER'S LAB –
New Theatre Peterborough and Paines Plough are partnering to launch a new nationwide writer development programme in 2023 and we want to connect with storytellers and creatives with an interest in writing for stage and performance.This programme will look to create a nationwide network of writers, storytellers and creatives with ongoing support, development and mentoring from New Theatre, Paines Plough and our partners around the country.We're launching this programme with an Open Writer's Lab where you'll get to meet the New Theatre team, connect with each other, and begin your development journey.Our first event will be on 11 March 2023 at the New Theatre, 46 Broadway, Peterborough PE1 1RSThis will be the first in a series of offers with Paines Plough so do not worry if you can't attend, there will be more to come!
The Writers: We want to connect with anyone that writes, wants to write, or has never considered writing before. We're looking for poets, authors, musicians, and storytellers in all their forms. If you've got an interest in writing for stage and performance, then we want to meet you.We particularly want to hear from under-represented voices within the industry. We want to keep creating brave and bold spaces for voices we don't often hear from to tell stories that aren't often heard. If you think that's you, then get in touch. You don't need to have written before or have any prior stage experience. You just need a desire to tell a story.
The Session: The session will run for a full day (approx. six hours). We will have guest facilitators running creative writing workshops.

There are one too many people who can attest to the fact that I'm obsessed with these Mohawk Maker Quarterly's. I apologize if you've had to listen to me exclaim my enthusiasm over and over but seriously...how could I not? This quarterly publication is the product of a collaboration between Hybrid Design and Mohawk. It is given away 100% for free(?!) and contains truly impressive design and thoughtful content. You can sign up to start receiving copies of your own here, but until then, here is a peak at issue number 13.

Q: Where can I find my Python directory in Ubuntu I need to do the instructions below in Python in order to make my python program use my compiled OpenSSL instead of the Ubuntu shipped one:
export LDFLAGS="-L/my/path/lib/ -L/my/path/lib64/"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/my/path/lib/:/my/path/lib64/"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/my/path/include -I/my/path/include/openssl"
./configure --prefix=/my/path/
make
make install

I am using Ubuntu 18. Where can I find python3 in Ubuntu 18? How can I make my python uses my installed OpenSSL not the OS shipped one?

A: According to the wiki as of Ubuntu 18.04.1 Python 2 is no longer installed by default. Python 3 has been updated to 3.6. This is the last LTS release to include Python 2 in main.
I would imagine that there are a number of ways that you could replace the included Python 3.6 with your own version. As any radical change to your system can render it inoperable, best practices indicate that the first thing you should do is backup. Once your backup is complete you can proceed to try whatever you like to solve your problem as in the worst case you can always return to where you began and start over with a new approach.
One of the ways that comes to mind is to use an alias. This is dead simple but may have unintended consequences.
Another slightly more complex possibility would be to setup a VM with an installation that you remove Python3.6 from and install your version from source on to take it's place.
A third possibility would be to setup virtual environment for python3.
Regretfully I am currently 1800 miles from home and can't currently test any of this, but hopefully it's enough to get you started. If anything in this answer is unclear, drop me a comment and I'll attempt to clarify upon my return.

I feel you have always advised me honestly in all concerns with my properties in dealing with the tenants or other similar problems.
You have managed my properties professionally by accepting phone calls from the tenants with the utmost patience, pleasantly and always keeping me apprised of whatever problems that existed which you handled.
I'm particularly happy that when you obtained new tenants for our unit that you did a thorough check-up the references. You also kept me advised of each new application you had received for a unit or when you personally showed the unit. Your expert advice is well noted together with your knowledge of the complex rental laws.
It is my hope that you will continue to manage our town houses and to help with the selling of the properties in the future.
Thank you for your efforts–especially Jodi–in managing our duplex. You help make it possible for us to enjoy our wonderful life on Cape Cod.
Just wanted to drop you a note to say "Thank You" for the past two successful transactions you have brokered for me. As you know, I am a licensed broker and have been actively listing and selling homes southwest of Boston for the past twenty years. When I found myself looking for a Realtor to market my two duplexes, I knew I had found the right person after speaking with you. You clearly had the most experience in that "niche" market.
Neither transaction was easy and yet both properties closed within a relatively brief period of time for the market in which we are. Your knowledge of the market and appraisers was beneficial in closing these deals. Thank you for being there when you were needed and dealing with me. I know that I demanded much of you as my expectations are very high. You certainly stood up to my test and that's saying a lot!
Thank you for all your kindness during the final sale. Also, you did a great job in selling, never did I think it would sell overnight. You did a fantastic job. I am grateful.
Thanks so much for all of your help in getting my house sold! I really appreciate all of your hard work and effort and believe the house sold in relatively short time through your efforts. This is not an easy market to sell a property in, as you know. However, your market knowledge and special knowledge of my price rate along with your hard work ethic got the job done. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone I know and will do so in the future!
Tom and I would to thank you for the outstanding assistance you gave to us and my Mother in selling Estelle's (my Mothers) home in South Yarmouth last year. From the first time we discussed this with you in May, until the final sale in November, you were a solid partner in working with us to bring the transaction to closure.
First, you and your staff assisted us in undertaking a number of repairs prior to putting the house on the market. This included replacing screens and broken windows, installation s of new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. You were always available to help us in completing yard and house maintenance projects. Of course the fact that we lived out of state, made this all the more important for us.
Perhaps the most taxing experience was dealing with the numerous legal and town requirements. But, you and the lawyer you recommended were able to relieve all those issues in a very professional and effective manner. For that we are very grateful.
We also had another outstanding relationship with you in the past when the apartment in the house became available for rental to new tenants. Again, another wonderful job done by you and your staff.
Just want you to know that we think you guys are THE BEST!! Thanks for everything you do!!
Just a quick word of thanks for all of your efforts to keep things afloat on Rose Terrace. You've gone above and beyond what I expected and for that I am most grateful. I hope that your holidays are peaceful and hope filled times for you.
I wish to thank you for your services in the rental and sale of my two properties over the past two years. You have gone over and above the services I would expect and can't express more my pleasure in working with you and Bass River Properties. Thanks again for your time and expertise.
It has been a pleasure working with you for the past several years. We have both profited dealing with prospective tenants. You have helped us find the right people to fill our needs with your thorough background checks. We have confidence in your choices we have made due to your help.
We wish you continued success. You work hard and certainly deserve to go far in real estate field.


Just in case you were not aware, Gary "Chipper" Hughes underwent heart surgery today for a condition he has had for years.
"Gary is out of surgery.
I just met with his surgeon who said the surgery went well, there weren't any issues. The aneurysm was "real and inflamed." The surgeon said Gary has been suffering from this for a long time and it's very lucky he had the surgery when he did. Otherwise it would have torn at some point which would have meant sudden death.
Gary will be sedated for at least six more hours - the surgeon said it's not time to celebrate yet. Once they bring him out of sedation they'll be able to confirm his brain is functioning and there isn't any bleeding. But this is obviously a wonderful first step.
I'll send an update when he's out of sedation. Thanks so much for the prayers and positive thoughts."
The Prez and I plan on visiting him Monday with some "get well" libations. And if needed, the CACC walker.
Great news,, I will be keeping a look out for the update..
Glad to hear looking for a good update.
"My coping mechanism of staying as blissfully ignorant as possible about specifics of the surgery served me very well...right up until my conversation with Dr. Singh this afternoon. I'm thrilled to report though that Gary has successfully passed the "brain functioning" check - at least in my estimation. He's coming out of sedation and when I told him he got a cow valve he said "moo." When I jokingly asked what we were going to do tonight and suggested we go out to dinner, Gary said "dinner theater, let's make a night of it." He also told me it feels like a "massive person is sitting on my chest." So not only is his brain fine, his sense of humor is on point.
I really appreciate all the emails, texts and calls today. Your support means so much to us."
I decided instead bringing Gary some single Malt, he may prefer some corn or alfalfa.
Glad to hear all was successful. But, I'm really surprised nobody ran with the "brain functioning" bit!
Interesting that it took surgery to confirm "brain functioning."
Really happy to hear the good news. Wishing Gary a speedy and full recovery.
Let me know when I should try to schedule Ruth's Chris ?
Wow, glad to hear all is well, my mom went through a rupture on her aorta and was sedated for weeks in ICU. My thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery!
What time are you going to the hospital Monday? I may join you.
Got this email this morning....The Prez and I are going over today, since he may be discharged Monday.
It sounds as though he may come home as early as tomorrow, if not, Tuesday. He's ready for calls/visitors and will be thrilled with the distractions. Thanks for your friendship.
Hey Moo, glad to see surgery went well. Wishing you a speedy recovery. See you soon.
Apparently Chipper, AKA "Moo", is none the worse for wear after his heart surgery. He was in good spirits and stuffing his face when The Prez & I stopped in to visit. He is recuperating very well. He is liklely to be discharged Tuesday. So feel free to stop by and aggravate him Monday.
I have to admit he has some HOT nurses attending to his every need as you can see here. But I suspect in his present condition, he is harmless.

Q: Ubuntu and Epson C67 I have a PC with Windows 8 and a printer Epson C67. The driver is outdated for Windows 8. I want to know if is possible to use the printer with Ubuntu and what I have to do.

A: Yes, you can use that printer with Ubuntu. Chances are that the printer will be recognized out-of-the-box and the necessary drivers will be installed automatically. If not then you can download the drivers from http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/ (type C67 in the product name field and choose Linux operating system) to install them manually.
