"By mid- 1955, the country had pulled out of the previous year's recession and gross national product was growing at a rate of 7.6 percent. The boom was so great that the budget for 1956 predicted a surplus of $4.1 billion. With the surges in production and the economy, the 1950s is often recognized as the decade that eliminated poverty for the great majority of Americans. Over the decade, GNP per capita almost doubled and the public welfare reacted accordingly as the cost of living index rose by just 1 percent and unemployment dropped to 4.1 percent'"


It's a laundry and coffee kinda Monday! We've been loosening up on the routine, and trying to seize the day this summer. We're having lots of fun, but man are we tired! No naps, late bedtimes, lots of fresh air. Summer.
We were out of the house on Friday morning at 8:00am, to drive to Aldergrove and visit the Krause Berry Farm. It was the opening day of blackberry picking and we wanted to get there when they opened (or close to it) at 8:30am. They have thornless blackberries, which make it a super kid friendly activity. We picked 4 baskets before loading them into the car and preparing to take the shuttle bus to the blueberry fields.
The kids really wanted to ride the shuttle bus, otherwise we probably would have skipped the blueberries, but I'm so glad we didn't because they were really perfect and sooooo delicious! We picked 3 baskets before heading back to catch the shuttle bus back to the main farm.
Lunch was our last stop before leaving the farm, and it was very much not delicious - well, the pie was - but otherwise we'll likely give it a pass next time. They also didn't "a la mode" my pie which was on the receipt, and seemed to accuse me of not telling the truth about not getting ice cream, despite walking to my table, realizing it and returning right away. Also, they gave us a smoothie not a milkshake as ordered and as on the receipt, and it was the sourest most terrible thing I've ever tasted. We each had a sip and then threw the rest in the garbage. I hear their waffles are good though, so maybe we'll give them a try next time before writing this off as a place to eat.
I'd definitely recommend them for berry picking! The staff were really friendly and helpful, the had lots of baskets and wagons available and they moved people through the line really quickly.
We got stuck in major Friday afternoon traffic (with help from several accidents and road construction), and ended up with less than an hour at home before heading out to meet friends at the playground for a couple of hours before dinner.
Stu took the kids to the Boundary Bay Airshow on Saturday after swimming lessons, while I stayed home for a day of sewing (4+ uninterrupted hours!). I was trying to make some real progress on my Kalle dress by Closet Case, which I did. Sort of.
Saturday progress - sleeve cuffs and buttonholes / buttons to go!
My sewing was riddled with folly. I sewed the yoke on improperly 3 times before finally sewing it on the right way, and I had trouble with the sleeve cuffs - even cutting a new piece - before remembering I could just flip the piece the other way around after sewing to make it a mirror image. Major face palm for having made this pattern in shirt form twice before, and having done these exact steps before!
I remember having trouble sewing the yoke properly with my first Kalle while following the sewalong instructions. I went back to the actual pattern instructions and it was much more straightforward for me.
After all that sewing and ripping, I finally got to sew on the collar - which went great! It looks like a real shirt dress! Then the bias binding for the hem, which I loved. What a great way to finish the bottom of a dress - especially with a pronounced curve. Way more enjoyable to make than the View A with a hem facing. That was terrible. I'm still not over it and that was a year ago. The fabric held up fantastically well to all the seam ripping.
Love these tags that Blackbird Fabrics affixes to the fabric they send out!
Sunday morning I woke up early and attached the sleeve cuffs (which filled me with dread - and I sewed them on backwards one year ago). This time it was one of the easiest things about the dress. I've sewed on what seems like a bazillion sleeve cuffs and neck bindings in the last year.
All that was left was button holes! But, I needed to choose some buttons first. I didn't want to make the long trek to the fabric store as my only stop, so we loaded up the kids and went for a bike ride at Terra Nova in Richmond. We used to walk/run out here all the time when we lived in Vancouver, but I think we've only been out once since J was born.
It has a great gravel path, but is a bit tricky for little kids to pedal through the gravel. I think we'll ditch the bikes in favour of a good walk/run next time.
After our ride, we headed to Fabricana for some buttons. Stu and the kids waited outside and had a snack while I ran in. It took surprisingly little time to find some good options, but in the end I couldn't decide and came out with three different sets of buttons. They're nice neutral buttons, so I figured I'd have no problem using them on future projects.
the light grey in the middle are the clear winner!
I didn't buy any fabric at Fabricana - which took all my willpower - because I had placed another order with Blackbird Fabrics earlier that morning, since they were having a 20% off sale. I ordered more of the linen/rayon fabric I'm using for my Kalle...6 meters of it...I think I'm in love! I want to make the Carolyn PJ's from Closet Case in the short sleeves / shorts version. Summer pj's!! Also, another dress probably...or maybe shorts? I don't know...maybe all of the above.
After lunch we were off to my aunt and uncle's beach house for a swim and a barbecue. There was yet another accident on the road in front of us, which added 30 minutes to our 20 minute drive. I was glad to have my knitting with me.
I've seriously upgraded my car knitting situation by adding one of those vent clip phone holders - I'm really happy with mine (I am not affiliated with them, nor is this an affiliate link - I just like this one that I bought, and I had trouble deciding on a good one when I was looking), it hasn't dropped my iPhone 7 Plus even on bumpy roads - and I found a new spot to hold my yarn in the door shelf. I'm still working away on my Portrush Poncho, having just joined the neck together and now I'm working on the main body section. The linen yarn I'm using (Louet Euroflax) has been such a treat to work with in the warm weather, and surprisingly hasn't been hard on my hands at all.
The barbecue was fantastic! Food always seems to taste better near the ocean. Even a hotdog can turn into the best tasting thing you've ever eaten! Or maybe that's just me? I'll take it! Though that's not what we had. We had two types of kebabs, zooghetti (zucchini spaghetti stuff - it was yummy despite my poor description of it) and fresh dungeness crab. Amazing day!
We stayed to watch the sunset, and didn't get home until almost 10 - which is insanely late for us. It's rare we're out past 5:00pm most nights. 6:00pm is a late night!


Wireless internet is no longer something that's an added benefit for hospitals; it's now part of the infrastructure of a fully functioning care center. Caregivers and patients shouldn't even have to think about it. Networking should be invisible and high-performing so that the focus can be on the patients, not connectivity.
For many hospitals, that's just not a reality: over half (55 percent) of hospitals spend up to 500 hours each year on Wi-Fi maintenance alone. That's the time that could be spent on care, process improvement, other maintenance, and focusing on patient outcomes.
These outcomes are now dependent on aspects of online networks; those that support medical devices, doctor communication, or data transfer. Without a reliable Wi-Fi network in place, patients are exposed to safety issues, as medical devices may fail or important health data could be lost or access delayed.
Community Hospitals and Wellness Centers (CHWC) is a hospital system comprised of three campuses in northwestern Ohio. CHWC's wireless network, originally intended to provide wider access to medical records, has been operating for many years with 120 access points distributed among its facilities. But with an increasingly large number of medical devices and network users, it's difficult to monitor and improve things like data transfer speed, performance, and quality.
As with other hospital systems across the nation, a big challenge for CHWC is assessing end-user experiences with this increased traffic. And it may be more important than ever to focus on user satisfaction. The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey gathers perspectives from patients on their hospital care. This is the first national standard for both collecting and publicly reporting this patient survey information, making it crucial for hospitals to focus on the patient experience beyond the internal reporting level.
As such, CHWC's CIO realized that there was not enough visibility into the quality of the experience end-users were having. The CHWC IT team needed to be able to monitor and assess the network continuously to better understand performance issues. More knowledge about what is going on would allow the team to respond to and resolve problems much more quickly.
Another big challenge was that messages they would receive from users were vague, hearing things like "the Wi-Fi is down" or their connection "dropped." This made it even more difficult to diagnose problems, much less resolve them in a timely manner.
This is when 7SIGNAL stepped in. Twenty-six Sapphire Eye 2000 sensors were setup throughout the CHWC campuses. These sensors connected to access points and started running both active and passive tests. Active tests focused on emulating the client experience by measuring upload and download throughput, voice quality, and other performance metrics, while passive tests sampled interactions and tracked metrics like connection data rate and retransmissions.
These tests were able to quantify a client's ability to use the Wi-Fi successfully. The Sapphire Analytics Engine then analyzed the findings in a dashboard as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), allowing the system to easily identify problem areas.
CHWC got the visibility they needed to improve end-user experiences.
Retransmission rates for individual users were reduced, which allows for more freed-up airtime to transmit and receive data.
The team could proactively manage the entire wireless environment with intuitive dashboards and graphs, automated performance reports, and automatic alerts when KPIs fall below set thresholds.
Canton Mercy Medical Center, a top-50 cardiology hospital in the nation, is located in Canton, Ohio and has 476 beds. The hospital has used Wi-Fi since 2005 and depends on the network for voice communications, clinical and administrative access, device support, and data capture.
The focus area for improvement was mobile connectivity, as doctors had issues viewing patient data on mobile devices and the voice call quality was poor.
7SIGNAL's Sapphire Wi-Fi Performance Management System was used to gather performance data and isolate connectivity issues to better address them. The system's Eye sensors were installed near the emergency department, radiology department, and the operating room, as well as in remote facilities.
The Sapphire system then gathered data that showed immediate improvements in throughput after upgrading a wireless LAN controller. In addition, traffic bottlenecks were identified and the system recommended configuration changes. After changes were implemented, there were big improvements in the mobile device realm, including voice quality, throughput, packet loss, and bandwidth utilization.
Now, the system continues to help address concerns by giving hospital employees access to a dashboard which reports metrics and sends alerts if certain thresholds are not met.
In both of these instances, 7SIGNAL's Sapphire Wi-Fi Performance Management Program improved wireless network systems, thus allowing caregivers, patients, and guests reliable and seamless access to devices and vital information. Maintaining network access is crucial for the safety and satisfaction of today's patients – and 7SIGNAL can help your facility achieve it.

Q: Ruby on rails, post request not displaying after submit action I am using ruby and rails (I am following a tutorial and been told we do not need everything for a new rails app for this beginner session hence the skip functions below)
In terminal, I run:
rails new rails-first-app --skip-active-storage --skip-action-mailbox --skip-test
cd rails-first-app
gh repo create --public --source=.
git push origin main

So this creates a new rails app and uploads it to github.
Then I run:
rails generate controller games

to create my new controller and I enter the correct view files, routes to connect the files and the methods in the controller.
Now this is where it starts to get weird. The app does not work most of the time- but with enough refreshes in terminal and using a new internet browser, the app works ONCE and then goes back to not working at all.
In the terminal, this is what shows when I refresh the app:

When the app does work it shows this:

When the app does not work it shows this:

I have highlighted the differences with the red lines. And have tried to google how to process the result as a HTML and not turbo_stream and why it does not Rack app.
Does anyone have an idea why the app works one time and 99% of the time, not? I have checked that my web browser allows redirects and javascript.

This product is amazing! Perfect poreless make up application that'll last all day.
this primer is amazing if you want to get that perfect, smooth and flawless foundation look. foundation lasts all day without looking cakey.
Smooths face and primes for foundation. Makeup stays fresher longer! It has a silicone-y feel to it.
This primer really does it's job. My makeup goes on smoothly and lasts all day however I took off one star because it has a more oily (silicone) consistency than others that work almost as well. I think this would be an amazing primer for someone with dry/aging skin.

The Christians as a Minority
I was brought up believing that we, the Lebanese Christians and at their core the Maronites, would never become a minority. That we would dominate this landscape for eternity, if not numerically then politically and economically. I was brought up believing that our religious and cultural links to the West would guarantee us its tutelage in the face of the surrounding threat. We had lost martyrs: young men and women who had given up their lives repelling the Palestinian guerrillas and their Muslim proxies bent on destroying our 'way of life'. This was alas a delusion and the disillusion that followed, as the civil war ended in 1991, was a painful one. The irony is that those who created and fed us that delusion are today still in charge of our fate. In a continuation of the fratricide war of the late 80s the Lebanese Forces and the Free Patriotic Movement are today fighting it out over 'Christian representation' in the sectarian bazaar that has characterized the country since 2005. The events over the past Two years indicate clearly that Christian politicians have become marginal bystanders with occasional cameo roles. The Christian political scene functions as a side-show to the essential confrontation slowly building up between the Hezbollah-Amal tandem on one hand and the Sunni bulldozer of the Hariri clan. This side-show loses its importance as soon as the confrontation moves to the main stage, as happened in the streets of Beirut this last May. As soon as the militiamen from both sides took over the streets of West Beirut, The Christian sections of the capital and the surrounding heartland became a haven of tranquillity. Michel Aoun and Samir Geagea lost their panache and summoned their supporters to order. The same scenario was replayed during the clashes in Tripoli with both sides settling for vague condemnation of the turn of events. The Doha accord altered the political discourse between government and opposition, with a return to a more muted tone with criticism by innuendo. The reconciliations followed between the PSP and its Druze counterparts, The PSP and Hezbollah, Hezbollah and Al-Mustaqbal, Al-Mustaqbal and Alaouite dignitaries in the North. Interestingly this is the time that our Christian heroes, buoyed by the prospect of parliamentary elections in 2009, decide to revert to insults, accusations and counter-accusations opening the dirty files of the civil war and scuppering all attempts at building bridges. Occasionally this degenerates into lethal skirmishes as recently in the Koura region. Nonetheless, the self-assigned importance claimed by all Christian factions is a symptom of the delusion mentioned earlier. While it is true that the fate of the next majority will be decided in Kesrwan, Jbail and the Matn, a win for either party will have the only function of reinforcing the position of their allies until the next flashpoint. Revelling in the nostalgic themes of the Christian Resistance in its less than glorious stages from Suleiman Franjieh in Amchit to Michel Aoun at the French embassy through Samir Geagea in Deir el Kamar will not change the fact that the Christians in 2008 lack a vision for the country and are starting to feel the effect of their minority status. Challenging the sectarian model might be the only solution.

EarthLink appeals to Southeast carrier's wholesale needs with T-1, Ethernet offering
Nov 8, 2013 9:47am
EarthLink Carrier (Nasdaq: ELNK), the service provider's wholesale division, has completed what it says is the first phase of building out its new wholesale T-1 and Ethernet product offering in the Southeast U.S. market. These new services will likely appeal to other service providers trying to fulfill out-of-franchise business service opportunities.
Service providers that reside in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee will be able to get access to a host of integrated voice and data, data-only T-1s, NxT-1s and Ethernet services.
As a 4-wire DS1 circuit, the T-1 wholesale service provides a connection from EarthLink Carrier's network to an end-user's location. It will offer speeds that range from as low as 1.5 Mbps per T-1 up to 12 Mbps when bonded copper pairs are used.
Customers that have service needs in these markets will be able to order them via the EarthLink Carrier portal.
To support this new service initiative, Patrick Hannon, senior vice president of EarthLink Carrier, said it added 2,877 COs (central offices) to its data only T-1 and NxT-1 footprint and 1,190 new COs to its integrated T-1 and NxT-1 footprint.
Hannon added that "The addition of Ethernet and our expanded coverage allow us to offer a scalable and cost effective solution to traditional TDM services."
The introduction of this new product comes as EarthLink is seeing an uptick in carrier services. During the third quarter it reported that carrier revenue grew 18 percent. On a year to date basis, it said it booked $1.8 million in new carrier monthly recurring revenue, which was double the $0.9 million in bookings it had in Q3 2012.
EarthLink business revenues dip to $240.6M, may form holding company

Q: Cannot get simple RS webservice to work with Eclipse Mars I followed a few tutorials for settings up a very simple Jersey Webservice which were more than unclear to me.
Sometimes the tutorial was talking about changing the web.xml, others were saying that it is only necessary to have certain annotations in your service class.
So I ended up with the following conclusion:
Using Jersey 2.x you won't have to do anything specific in your web.xml, just have the jersey-container-servlet.jar in your classpath and create your service class as follows:
import javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;

    @Path("/sayhello")
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public Response sayHello() {
        return Response.ok("Hello World").build();
    }

}

This should allow me to access the API using http://localhost:8080/EETest/rest/sayhello
I double checked that the project has been deployed with no error and the Tomcat7 server is running. All the jersey jars and dependencies are in my lib folder and have been added to the project libraries. The modified index.html is showing fine when calling http://localhost:8080/EETest
But the web service is not responding (404 page is showing instead).
I know it must be something very basic I'm doing wrong here ... I'm running out of options.

A: Not sure where you learned to do this
@ApplicationPath("rest")
public class RestService extends Application {

    @GET
    @Path("/sayhello")
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public Response sayHello() {
        return Response.ok("Hello World").build();
    }
}

But it's wrong. In JAX-RS, we have resource classes. The resource class should be annotated with @Path, not @ApplicationPath. The Latter is for the application configuration class. So you should have something like
@ApplicationPath("/rest")
public class AppConfig extends Application {}

@Path("/")
public class RestService {
    @GET
    @Path("/sayhello")
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public Response sayHello() {
        return Response.ok("Hello World").build();
    }
}

What the empty class with the @ApplicationPath does is trigger classpath scanning. So the classpath will be scanned for classes that are annotated with @Path and @Provider, and those classes will be registered.
In the example, I used @Path("/") so that you can still use the same URL /rest/sayHello. But generally, the resource class will be have a path mapped to a collection URL, like /rest/animals, so you would use @Path("animals") on the class, and you can add sub-resources with methods in that class also annotated with @Path. Any method not annotated with @Path, but has a method like @GET, will be mapped to the root resource path /rest/animals.
A couple other things. Remember I mentioned the classpath scanning being triggered with the empty Application class annotated with @ApplicationPath. Well this is kind of discouraged. You could register classes explicitly instead
@ApplicationPath("/rest")
public class AppConfig extends Application {
    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        final Set<Class<?>> classes = new HashSet<>();
        classes.add(RestService.class);
        return classes;
    }
}

But when we're using Jersey, it's preferred to use the Jersey specific classes (unless you have a requirement to keep it portable between JAX-RS implementations). With Jersey, you would use it's ResourceConfig class (which is a subclass of Application). You could register individual classes with the register method, of you can trigger package scanning (which is not the same as classpath scanning) using the packages method
@ApplicationPath("/rest")
public class AppConfig extends ResourceConfig {
    public AppConfig() {
        packages("the.packages.to.scan");

        register(RestService.class);
    }
}

Tax credit bill becomes law at Tribeca
12:56 PM PDT 4/23/2008 by Gregg Goldstein , AP
Complete Tribeca coverage
Related: Tax credits save day for N.Y. productions
NEW YORK -- The Tribeca Film Festival kicked off Wednesday with Gov. David Paterson signing the New York State production tax credit bill into law, the unveiling of competition judges and American Express' commitment to five more years as the fest's main sponsor.
David Bowie, Whoopi Goldberg and Molly Shannon are among 31 judges in Tribeca's six narrative, docu and shorts competitions. Others include Peter Dinklage, Fred Durst, Matthew Modine, Mario Batali, Christine Lahti, Lili Taylor, Jay McInerney, Andre Leon Talley and Doug Liman, who attended the press conference announcement Wednesday.
AmEx's renewed pact with Tribeca is very welcome news for the fest. In its first six editions, the founding sponsor picked up 20% of Tribeca's budget, which has multiplied three to four times since the first 2002 fest to hit an estimated $13 million last year. It's unclear if this year's edition will have a lower budget, or cut into its $1 million annual deficit as it cuts back venues and 24% of its feature slate, but the AmEx support will be crucial in this effort.
Paterson's bill, finalized two weeks ago, increases the state's 10% below-the-line tax credit for film and TV productions to 30% plus an added 5% for New York City projects. The $575 million program also speeds the rebate waiting period from two years to one and extends the current deal to 2013, with an ultimate $110 million cap.

Q: Is Google location services a service - that runs in background I want my app to get updates of the current location, and act upon it. I am planning on creating a service, that will host the Google API client code and location update code.
The name though throws me off: Is google location SERVICES a service that will automatically run in the background, like the service I was to create? Or is it just a name and I should go ahead with my plan?

A: You're not thinking about this correctly - it doesn't matter how Google implemented it. To directly answer your question, I can say with near certainty that it's not called "services" because it's a Service - the two have nothing to do with each other. Google likely uses a whole series of Service's, but you don't have to care about that.
All that you need to know is that it works - for as long as you request updates, and obviously the frequency and accuracy will depend on the filters/providers you request, you will continue to get updates. You do not need to maintain a Service in the background to continue to receive updates. You only need to maintain a Service if you need to receive and continually do something with those updates while your app is in the background.
I will also say that this can come as a disadvantage. If you request location updates and never make the api call to stop receiving updates, you will cause your app to hold a partial wakelock on the system, and you'll kill your users' batteries. Once you've got the location info you need, make the proper call to stop receiving updates.
Think about what you need location for, how often you need it, etc, and know that Google location services will continue to call your callback object as long as it hasn't been garbage collected.

Thankfully, YouTuber Dantics (via GameBuz) managed to rip the video before it got pulled! Watch it below (it starts at the 2:35 mark) to see this new Borderlands 3 trailer!

Gearbox is set to unveil our first hands-on impressions of Borderlands 3 on May 1, but in the meantime, go check out the PS4 theme you get for pre-ordering the game digitally right here. Gearbox also mentioned how loot streams will be individualized and there'll be no level restrictions for those who want to squad up.

Caesars Palace Photography, Art & History Las Vegas
Caesars Palace Las Vegas
There are few places on Earth where the Eiffel Tower is within sight of one of the Great Pyramids. In fact, there is exactly one. Las Vegas is the gambling capital of the world, but it's also an architectural menagerie—a collection of some of the most dazzling and uncanny structures ever built.
Much of the proliferation in fanciful edifices can be traced back to the imposing classical might of Caesars Palace. Though certainly not the oldest casino in Vegas, nor the first to toy with the idea of a special theme, the Palace revolutionized the developing Strip and opened the door to a new kind of aesthetic and luxury experience. Since its founding, Caesars Palace has been home to professional racing, daredevil stunts, mafia intrigue, and more famous acts and entertainers than you can count. Today, the Palace serves as the epicenter of the Vegas art scene, boasting some of the most prestigious galleries and showrooms in all of the United States.
From its not-so-humble beginnings to its role as cultural custodian of Vegas, the history of the Palace is fascinating, and it's no wonder it still holds such a prestigious place both on the Strip and in the popular imagination.
Beginnings of Caesars Palace
Caesars Palace was not the first Vegas casino, but it preceded many of the other iconic and themed constructions on the Strip like the Venetian, the Bellagio, or the Luxor. Caesars Palace was founded by small-time motel owners Jay Sarno and Stanley Mallin. Sarno was the real brains behind the project and conceived of a resort experience based upon the aesthetics and luxury of the ancient Roman Empire. While other resorts like the Sahara and Tropicana had dabbled in the idea of a themed experience, the Palace would far outpace them with elaborate neoclassical facades, arcades, and statuary, spectacular networks of state-of-the-art fountains, and costumed attendants trained to act like true Roman servants.
The Palace first opened on August 5, 1966 with an inaugural feast befitting the ambitious and glamorous mission of the founders. 2,000lbs of filet, 50,000 glasses of champagne, crab, caviar, and every other delicacy were served to the illustrious guests as they were serenaded by the emotive virtuoso Andy Williams.
Despite its location on the Strip, for the first years of its operation, Caesars Palace operated primarily as a luxury hotel, with only a (relatively) small 30-table casino. In 1968, however, Sarno and Mallin managed to get the money together to build a dedicated casino just up the street. Known as Circus Circus, it stands today as another staple of the Las Vegas scene, but was only affiliated with the Palace until the early 70s, when financial difficulties and a slew of government investigations forced its sale to a third party.
Nonetheless, extensive renovations, including the construction of the iconic Centurion and Forum Towers, did provide for a newer and larger casino, and cemented the Palace as one of the most popular locations on the burgeoning strip.
Out To Sea, one of hundreds of fine art photography prints by Aaron Reed displayed in homes across Las Vegas.
Life in the Palace
During the first few decades following its completion, Caesars Palace accumulated a colorful history of fantastic spectacle, famous people, and shady intrigue.
The extensive fountain array crowning the entrance to the Palace was the site of one of daredevil Evel Knievel's first major stunts. On New Year's Eve 1967, Knievel attempted to jump his motorcycle over the length of the three main fountains. The trick failed, and Kneivel suffered serious injury to his pelvis, femur, hip, wrist, and ankles. Though unsuccessful, the Palace jump catapulted Knievel into the spotlight and helped launch his professional career.
The center of life at the Palace was (and is) the Colosseum—a massive multimedia stage styled to resemble the original Roman arena. Listing every star who has ever graced this venue would take some time, but among the ranks fall Sammy Davis Jr., Cher, Dianna Ross, Dolly Parton, David Copperfield, and Elton John.
Frank Sinatra was a regular performer during the early days of the Palace, making regular appearances at the Colosseum starting in 1967. His act was put on hiatus in 1970, however, after a spat over an unauthorized high-stakes game of baccarat. When Sinatra became indignant over the dealer's refusal to further raise the betting ceiling, hotel executive Sanford Waterman reportedly pulled a gun on him and expelled him from the building. Luckily, Sinatra eventually made up with Palace management and became a mainstay of the venue during the latter half of the 70s.
During the early 80s, Caesars Palace even hosted a number of professional racing events in the resort's spacious parking lot under the name Caesars Palace Grand Prix. From 1981-2, the race was part of the Formula One World Championship; in 1983 it was passed to the Champ Car World Series before finally being canceled after 1984 due to encroaching development.
Throughout its early life, Caesars Palace and its owners faced regular charges of conspiracy with organized crime. Allegations of tax fraud and racketeering were common and resulted in the loss of Circus Circus and the resignation of the Palace's creator, Sarno. None of these early misfortunes however, could diminish the Palace's fame and popularity, nor prevent its propitious expansion into the world of luxury commerce and high art.

Art & Photography Caesars Palace Las Vegas
In 1992, a commercial area was appended to the main hotel and casino area. Complete with twin spiral escalators and an animated fountain complex depicting the fall of Atlantis, this was known as the Forum Shops.
The Strip had long been a place of big money, but spending was limited primarily to lodging, eating, and of course, gambling. By creating a dedicated commercial marketplace for luxury vendors, Palace execs were trying to cater to the buying habits of wealthy tourists and international high-rollers. Everyone from Cartier to Versace, Rolex to Leica clamored for a spot, and today the Forum Shops constitute the highest-grossing mall per square foot in the United States.
While they may be something of a retail mecca, clothing and timepieces isn't all the Forum Shops have to offer. Since their inception, they've become the epicenter of fine art in Las Vegas, with independent and institutional galleries from across the world maintaining galleries and showrooms there.
The largest, by far, is Martin Lawrence Galleries. With 27,000 sqft. of floorspace, the Las Vegas location of this famous chain of photography and art galleries is more akin to a small museum. There's also the independent SKYE Art Gallery, showcasing up-and-coming artists from Europe and the Americas. Peter Lik maintains a gallery here, filled with his award-winning panoramas of the wild Earth in wild color. Vladimir Kush adds his name to the list with his works of metaphorical realism, and the Carnivale dedicates itself solely to the work of fine art photographers.
Even this short list should give an idea of the quality and uniqueness of the art to be found in the Forum Shops. What Caesars Palace started has now spread up and down the Strip, inspiring other art institutions and vendors like the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art and the collection of galleries in the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian. Even the evolution of the new Las Vegas Arts District can be traced to the renewed interest in art fostered by the Palace, and the Forum Shops are a must-see destination for all those lovers of art who pass through the city.

Today, Caesars Palace is still as iconic and eye-catching as the day it opened. For luxury and opulence, there is no higher standard, and it's sure to remain a fun and fine art destination far into the future, with an enduring image and body of legend befitting its Roman heritage.

A Psalm of Praise, of David. 145:1 I will extol You, my God, O King, And I will bless Your name forever and ever. 145:2 Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. 145:3 Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is unsearchable. 145:4 One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. 145:5 On the glorious splendor of Your majesty And on Your wonderful works, I will meditate. 145:6 Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts, And I will tell of Your greatness. 145:7 They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness. 145:8 The LORD is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness. 145:9 The LORD is good to all, And His mercies are over all His works. 145:10 All Your works shall give thanks to You, O LORD, And Your godly ones shall bless You. 145:11 They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom And talk of Your power; 145:12 To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts And the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom. 145:13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. 145:14 The LORD sustains all who fall And raises up all who are bowed down. 145:15 The eyes of all look to You, And You give them their food in due time. 145:16 You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. 145:17 The LORD is righteous in all His ways And kind in all His deeds. 145:18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. 145:19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry and will save them. 145:20 The LORD keeps all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy. 145:21 My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD, And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.
1) You Must Praise the Covenant King's Greatness (1-10) - "I will extol You, my God, O King, And I will bless Your name forever and ever. 145:3 Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is unsearchable. 145:4 One generation shall praise Your works to another. . ." The greatness of our heavenly King is recognized by the redeemed and we are to "say so." We must speak of His greatness to the next generation. You must speak to your kids about His redemptive works ("mighty acts"), after you take time to "meditate" on His character and work (v5). Are you eager to speak of His greatness since you have been redeemed (v7)?
2) You Must Praise the Covenant Kingdom's Glory (11-13) - "They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom And talk of Your power; 145:12 To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts And the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom. 145:13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations." The kingdom means when "God reigns as king." The kingdom of His rule is glorious and cannot be stopped. Especially in the light of fulness of the Resurrection and Ascension, we are to be hopeful and optimistic. There is no room for pessimillennialism in Psalm 145. Jesus reigns regardless of our national or personal problems! It is in seeing the glory of this reign that we may have the confidence to endure all manner of hardship. Do you grumble about life or do you glory in the kingdom?
3) You Must Praise the Covenant Lord's Goodness (14-21) - "The LORD sustains all who fall And raises up all who are bowed down. . . And You give them their food in due time. 145:16 You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. 145:17 The LORD is righteous ... and kind in all His deeds." The Lord's goodness has already been asserted (v9), but in 14-21 His compassionate deliverance is described. He raises the lowly and feeds the hungry. He satisfies the needy. He is kind and fulfills the desires of those who cry to Him. He "keeps" (guards) us. We are to bless His Holy name forever. Are you able to bless His name (character) for His kindness?

Q: How do I resize an image and surrounding container to fit in 100% of the screen—almost? Okay. So final touch here (for now).
On the homepage at http://www.rfm-inc.com, how do I set the header/(slider) image and surrounding container to fill 100% of the screen at any screen size below the actual image size?
Here's what I've come up with so far, but it doesn't do what I want it to do:

.flexslider .slides img {
    max-width: 100%;
    display: block;
}

Above the actual image size, there should be margins to either side of the image.
Also, the answer has to consider that the height of the source image is 1350 and the height needs to change according to screen size as well without distorting the image. I.E., when the screen height is below 1350, the image remainder of the full height would be hidden or cropped.
I hope that makes sense. It's hard to explain stuff like this. Thanks in advance!

A: For centering the image, which has display: block already set, you should use margin auto on left and right as:
margin: 0 auto;

You should give height: auto to the image if you want it not be stretched or distorted. By default height is auto for most of the html elements including the img element. When the height of the viewport will go below 1350 css pixels, which usually is, a scrollbar would automatically be shown and the bottom portion of your image could only be screen after scrolling down. If you want to just crop away that portion so that on scrolling down no part of image would be shown then you should use your image as background-image to the container div with background-size: cover.

Florida's offense finished the regular season on quite a roll, piling up more than 500 yards in each of the last three games.
"One of the things is our guys are a lot more comfortable in the offense now," Mullen said. "As the year went on, comfortable in not just knowing the plays but knowing how to use the plays, how the plays are going to be, the opportunity to go make plays within the offense.
"When you get that comfort, you start to see us put up bigger numbers. So, I think just the confidence in what we're doing and how we're playing and they're picking it up and understanding the offense."
The Gators are in the comfort zone. But can they stay there in the Peach Bowl against the nation's No. 1 defense. UF's offensive hot streak figures to be seriously challenged by Michigan's stout defense.
"Obviously, Michigan will be a huge challenge," Mullen said. "Don Brown does a great job as a defensive coordinator. They're very, very aggressive. They do a great job stopping the run, and then have great athletes in the secondary that can match up with all of your receivers and make great pressure on the quarterback.
"You see they can come at you at every level of the defense and have great players that can make plays at each level of the defense, and so we're going to have to get a great plan together, and our guys are going to have to execute at a high level to put points on the board."
This Michigan defense shut down the Gators in the opener last season in Arlington, Texas. UF managed just 11 yards rushing and 181 total yards in a 33-17 loss. And a struggling Feleipe Franks was benched in the second half.
The Wolverines will be facing a much different Florida offense — and a much different Feleipe Franks.
Franks has shown steady improvement over the course of the season in Mullen's offense and is coming off one of the best performances of his career — 254 yards passing and three touchdowns in the 41-14 win over arch-rival Florida State.
It's been a remarkable turnaround season for the Gators (from 4-7 to 9-3 and a New Year's Six bowl) and for Franks. Last season, Franks threw for only 1,438 yards and nine touchdowns with eight interceptions. This season, he's thrown for 2,284 yards and 23 touchdowns and had just six interceptions. He's also rushed for six touchdowns.
Franks and the offense will be severely tested in Atlanta.
"When I've gotten to see (Michigan) play, they're not afraid to think outside the box," Mullen said. "Their defense obviously comes at you from a lot of different angles. They pressure you in different ways.
"When we got on the plane to head out recruiting (last Saturday), really didn't know who we were going to play, and as soon as we found that out, luckily I had about six different teams loaded into the laptop, and hit the Michigan button to start watching their defense. I've seen a little bit more of their defense, which I know is very aggressive and attacking, comes at you from a lot of different angles."
Mullen will study a lot of tape on the UM defense over the next few weeks. He might pay special attention to the Wolverines' final game against Ohio State, a game in which the Buckeyes rolled up 62 points.
Despite that stunning meltdown, the Wolverines still lead the nation in total defense.
It's a defense that is hoping to bounce back big Dec. 29.
"I feel like we've got a good chance to change that around," Michigan senior safety Tyree Kinnel said earlier this week. "That only happened once to us this year. I feel like that's not who we are. I feel like we're going to come into this matchup (with) the defense we've been playing like all year. We've got about a good month to get ready."

LB/DE Jonathan Greenard will transfer to UF after graduating from Louisville, according to a report from Cardinal Sports. I had my computer messed up by updates and it took me a minute to find this players name. He is supposed to be good. GO GATORS!!!
Smith December 6, 2018 At 2:47 pm
He will definitely have an impact much like Shuler did.
Time to think outside the box for CDM. How about coming out in the first quarter running the triple option??? 2nd quarter come out running a different offense. That may be too much for Franks…maybe just a game plan to get the ball out quickly and move the ball the way their defense gives us. CDM will look at all of UM's games I would imagine and he and his staff will come up with a good game plan. It will be a defensive game to be sure, so the team with the most productive offense wins. Come on Franks and Jones – time for payback! GO GATORS!!!
Lakeland Gator Naught December 6, 2018 At 2:39 pm
It will be good to study how OSU dissected Michigan's D. They put up huge numbers.
Michigan is very aggressive and will try to stop the run.
Screen passes, jet sweeps and misdirection plays can be effective against their D and will gas them.
Our O Line will need to buckle-up and get some push off the line for our RB's.
Watch Franks make quicker passes into the flat.
Michigan hasn't seen an SEC D all year and will be hard pressed to contain our rush and pressure on their QB.
Gators 31-27.
Daz Wazlle December 7, 2018 At 2:18 am
OSU dissected Michigan's D because they were the only really good team Michigan played this year! Easy for a defense to look good while playing mediocre teams.
To Mullen – "When you get that comfort, you start to see us put up bigger numbers. " When you play scrubs(ala, Idaho, FSU, SC) "you start to put up bigger numbers"!
mveal2006 December 6, 2018 At 2:58 pm
Newspapers down here are saying they feel let down having to play us…
All I can say is they list to muschamp last year…it's going to take a lot more than one bath to wash the odor off of that one
Gator-6 December 6, 2018 At 7:19 pm
I wonder if they realize how let down a lot of us Gators are about having to play them? The difference being, of course, that we plan on beating them on the field and "they", on the other hand, probably plan on just showing up and letting nature take its course. An awful lot like LSU did, with the exception that I think LSU was and is a better team than Michigan.
prairiegator December 6, 2018 At 9:40 pm
Gator6…You got that right.
What that tells me is they are going to be overlooking UF. That is fine with me, we need all the help we can get. They think they are all that because they beat a bunch of mediocre teams this year and lost to the only good team they played, great! Hope they keep thinking that way! Wish I had more confidence in what UF team was going to show up, I could make a fortune since Uf isnt favored, too big of a risk though.
Gator Ed December 12, 2018 At 12:39 pm
Hey Daz – good to see you back. I thought I might have offended you and that was not my intention. I was giving constructive criticism on how you responded to a lot of people. You shouldn't criticize someone until after you have had a conversation with them. Then if they are a complete idiot – well then bash away…LMAO. I joke too much on here and I am going to cut way back on that. My humor can be out there. Keep up the convo's as you know we GATOR fans are some of the toughest in the world. GO GATORS!!!
Todd December 7, 2018 At 11:06 am
We think a lot alike Gator6.
I've been saying that I think this Michigan team is a lot like LSU, extremely similar, and that Michigan could walk into this game to mail it in too. One exception… LSU didn't walk into The Swamp and mail it in, that was a war, and I expect Michigan to play hard, but I also don't think this Mullen UF team is going to roll over and lay down for them either, like those McElwain teams did.
It's going to be interesting to see how Michigan reacts when both teams have played a couple of series and UF punches them in the mouth a hell of a lot harder than we did in last year's season opener.
If Michigan wants to win this game, they better pack a really big lunch because I think Florida is going to come to play spitting nails and blood in their mouths.
JawsofTruth December 6, 2018 At 3:10 pm
Win the line of scrimmage, win the game. All the schemes in the world mean nothing if you don't win in the trenches! I have a feeling Michigan will be very surprised by how much better our offensive line is since last year.
As for let down, of course. They thought they were going to beat OSU, win the Big Ten and get into the playoffs. So, that is a challenge for them to get over their shattered expectations and deal with the reality that they got beaten to a pulp by Ohio State and lost out on all their dreams. Too bad for them. Maybe good for us. We'll see.
StLGator December 7, 2018 At 10:40 am
Jaws, what you said is absolute fact. However, to turn this game into something other than a boring, 60-minute trench war ending 13-10, will require for Franks to do something he's shown to be very reluctant to do this season. He will have to FREQUENTLY throw successfully over the middle of the field.
OSU heavily exploited a Michigan weakness with safeties covering receivers on crossing patterns over the middle of the field. We have the receiver speed to do the same. With injuries depleting their secondary, Michigan will be susceptible to those types of passes in this game too.
Crossing patterns are a staple of the Meyer/Mullen offense, but all that traffic over the middle of the field seems to "confuse" Franks. He holds onto the ball much too long and throws inaccurately. That allows beaten safeties to recover. So, Mullen minimized the number of times such pass plays got called this season, which made the Gator O much easier to defend.
If they want to make short work of Michigan, Mullen and Franks will have to make liberal use of crossing patterns and throws to the TEs over the middle. Here's to hoping they practice that A LOT. Just praying that, come game time, Franks throws the ball to guys in orange and blue and completes most of those passes.
Go Gators!!!
Actually, no he he won't have to attack the middle of the field as much, at least nowhere as much as you think he will have to.
The PRIMARY way to attack the Michigan defense will be to render their DL in-effective by attacking the perimeter a lot, forcing their LB's off the LOS and making them, and their DB's, play the edge a lot more. That, in turn, will open up the intermediate passing game and the occasional deep route over the middle. The vertical passing game does not have to be the primary means of attacking Michigan. As a matter of fact, with their secondary, it would be sort of foolish to go after them with a lot of vertical passes.
McElwain and Nussmeier tried this twice and both times, we got shut down and routed.
Our game-plan since the USCe game has been the same one I've been saying we need to run… Run the hurry-up, run the ball, attack the edge, use a lot of safe, high percentage passes like screens and slants and bubbles and swing passes. Keep using Toney everywhere on the field.
It's worked for three games now and we've averaged over 500 ypg, so lets stick to what works best.
StLGator December 7, 2018 At 2:43 pm
Todd, the last 3 games the Gators played against weak or nonexistent defenses. That's not what we face in Michigan. They have a very salty, speedy, well coached defense.
I didn't mentioned a vertical passing game in my post (although a few long passes are necessary too.) That isn't what crossing patterns are. Crossing receivers criss-cross each other over the middle of the field, underneath the coverage, just 5 to 10 yards beyond the LOS. They serve two objectives:
1. To exploit the middle of the field vacated by LBs and safeties drawn to the perimeter by the very plays you mentioned above, forcing the D cover the WHOLE field.
2. To get DBs in man coverage to run into each other, creating an opportunity for an explosive play by a speedy WR with YAC 5 to 10 yards downfield.
If all the Gators do is run to the perimeter and throw bubble screens, Michigan will shut us down the way they did in Dallas last season.
Maybe, Mullen can teach Franks in bowl practices how to QUICKLY make the proper reads on the LBs and safeties at the LOS and how to QUICKLY hit his crossing receivers with passes over the middle that they don't have to reach back for.
I'm just not very optimistic Franks will learn. His brain just doesn't work that fast. The crossing pattern is a staple of every good O and Franks has failed to get it right after 3 years of practice!
Great post. I love the analysis. Frank's has steadily improved, even hitting some deeper throws against the semis. With 15 practices and more great coaching? We'll see!
caligator December 6, 2018 At 9:06 pm
I hope Franks left and Franks right isn't going to be a big part of the running game.
MexiGator December 6, 2018 At 10:07 pm
OSU provided the blue print. Mullen's and Meyer's offenses are from the same roots. I'm not sure if Florida has the same athletes to run it, but it will be a lot better than what we saw last year. It's a great test. I see Michigan coming in flat emotionally. I see Florida hungry for more success. Bowl games are funny in that the best team on paper doesn't always win. I like Florida to rid themselves of the Michigan Monkey.
Gator Steve December 7, 2018 At 7:07 am
Speaking of the picture above – does anyone know the Gators' record when wearing white helmets? Don't believe it is very good.
SparkyGator December 7, 2018 At 8:14 am
No idea, but I heard thru the grapevine that we are undefeated when wearing orange underwear 😂😂
Carlton December 7, 2018 At 10:37 am
The 2009 SEC Championship was the first time since the '60s the Gators went with white helmets. Including that game, the Gators are 3-7 when wearing alternate color schemes on helmets (this includes the putrid gator skin color worn during the Texas A&M loss in 2017. The three wins were against Vandy in 2015 (9-7), South Carolina in 2016 (20-7) and UAB in 2017 (36-7) — all weak opponents. The seven losses game against teams that were either good or bad (see, 2017 loss to a 4-6 FSU team).
DeWayne December 7, 2018 At 1:58 pm
One of our Chris Leak teams beat Bama with throw back white helmets and blue jerseys. Don't remember the year, but it was when I was still a Booster Ticket person…about 2005
Smith December 10, 2018 At 10:16 am
The championship year in 2006…you are right. I was there…Reggie Nelson took that pic 6 to seal the game.
Carlton December 12, 2018 At 1:00 pm
That is correct — I was at that game as well. For some reason, on one of the UF sites it states the 2009 game against Alabama as the initial unveiling of the alternate helmets, but the 2006 game was certainly before that; I had almost forgotten.
Actually, the 2006 Bama game with white helmets were actually throwback uniforms and not the alternative helmets that would incorporate the slanted 'F' on one side and 'Gators' script on the other. Nonetheless, white helmets were used.
I hope the Gators burry those lame looking white helmets!

Did you know that there are 50 different Eskimo words for 'snow'? Or that those who live in northern Scandinavia and Russia who speak Saami, have about 1,000 different ways to say 'reindeer'? This information is definitely interesting, but why does it matter? Well, it might matter if you're thinking of taking a product or service to market anytime soon. Ok, maybe only if your product is a reindeer-mounted snow shovel. But seriously, knowing there are so many variations in these languages, makes you wonder about all the other many languages and possible communication problems that may arise. Of course, you might not be thinking of the global market just yet, but you should be. Our world is becoming increasingly global and increasingly instant, which brings new communication challenges. Today's products and brands need to be prepared early on to compete on a global level. Being able to communicate according to each market's values, understanding cultural sensitivities, and knowing how your product or service compares with top local brands in that space should all be top of mind.
One way to do that is through research, which can be a crucial tool for understanding more about your consumer and creating more effective communications. However, there are many common pitfalls when it comes to reviewing open-ended questions. That's when having a great research team and a skilled supplier in place can mean a world of difference. When it comes to global studies, we partner closely with Lionbridge because language is such an important component of the insights we deliver and Lionbridge ensures we provide top quality translation. In fact, our very own Carol Fitzgerald and Paula Shannon from Lionbridge are in Nashville at the SiriusDecision Summit today to talk about this very subject.
However, it's important to note that the meaning of a word is not just important on a global scale. While in one language there may be more than one word used to convey a certain idea, there are also countless ways to interpret that word's meaning. A company may think such a word means one thing, but in reality from a consumer's point of view, it could mean something very different. Understanding what your brand stands for among your consumers – what you stand for, what the essence is – is of utmost importance when going to market. That's why from time to time we conduct our own global exploratory studies to help our clients glean more insights on marketing terms that may be helpful in their own communication and positioning platforms. This year, BuzzBack conducted a study exploring the word 'premium', which aimed to understand what consumer language represents – verbally, visually and emotionally in the US, UK, China and Brazil. To request the white paper, contact us below, or to learn more about our 'premium' study, click here.
I read about a couple of fashion companies that, even though sustainability is part of their brand ethos, they don't use the actual "S" word in their communications. These brands seem to be reacting to the active greenwashing going on in corporate marketing departments. And to speak to the consumers whose values are aligned with the brands, the companies are turning to other words and phrases from the Earth-friendly lexicon to communicate the message: mindful production; social commerce; conscious consumers; progressive; viable.
Has the "S" word just become white noise? Another bandwagon that is an overhyped but empty experience? Are consumers suffering from eco-fatigue? Or have brands failed to educate consumers about why they should care and seek out companies committed to sustainable business practices? In the end, does mass consumerism trump mass-environmentalism? Are US consumers different than their counterparts in Europe? Latin America?
We will be sharing answers to a several of these questions in our upcoming webinar that showcases our most recent study (completed with the Rainforest Alliance). If your brand is tackling the challenge of increasing the connection consumers have with sustainability, join us by registering here with a click.

My Philosphy in running is not dwell on it, I do it!
What a great week of running! I have not had a solid week where I hit the roads four of the five weekdays in several months. This week, you can put a check in that box! Tomorrow I hope to make it 5 our of 6 and get my mileage total for the week into the 30s! The week included My best performance in months and pain free running! This is truly the best of all worlds in my opinion and with my first of two races coming up in 2 weeks, I can say that I am ready to run well and PR the Newburyport Half Marathon on October 23rd!
So here is my plan heading into the Green Strides Half Marathon in 2 weeks! First, get a long run in over this weekend and then have a solid week of strong running next. Also I will continue to do the "Meb" exercises that I have been doing since last week. Then during the week leading up to the race, taper back a little bit though not too much because I am still also training for the Manchester Marathon in early November. Let's now see if it actually plays out the way it is planned!
Keeping this topic alive, let's use it to frame this week's 5 for Friday!
NUMBER ONE: Meb Exercises – So what are the Meb exercises? Here is a link. They are 5 drills that Meb Keflezighi's uses to help with running form. In addition, it helps with "power" as well in the legs and when the end of a race comes around, this training should help with the proverbial "second wind" or any late push into the finish line of a given race. Since I had problems at mile 20 of my first marathon back in May, I am attempting to put myself in a position so that it does not happen again! This these exercises.
NUMBER TWO: Morning Routine is Set – I mentioned on Tuesday that I had a certain routine during the morning of my races. But over the past month I have been adapting and changing that routine. I have gone from toast and a Clif Bar to these Generation UCan snack bars and my Metagenics Endura drink. This combination has led to a much longer energy level no matter how far I run and a reduction in the amount of food I have been consuming. Overall I am feeling stronger as a result of this change.
NUMBER THREE: Race Routine will Change – So with my morning/prerace routine changing, there is a solid chance that my actual race strategy will have to change. If these energy levels are higher, I will not need Gatorade or Gu shots during the races. Without a need for these products, I can focus on my running and just water during the races and that alone could give me a few minutes back on the clock. Long and short of it is simple: the prefueling I am doing perhaps is going to help me with speed and overall time. Best of both worlds!
NUMBER FOUR: Ramp up the Fartleks! – In addition to the "Meb Exercises" and the Gen UCan bars, I am ramping up the Fartleks over the next few weeks because I have a few goals that I would like to achieve in the next few weeks. One is a sub 8 half marathon pace which might be too much to ask given the race is only three weeks (at the same time, I feel good and that could help). Also a sub four hour finish in the marathon is the other goal. With the use of Farleks, I think I can get the extra push that gets me past these obstacles and sets me up for new goals in the future.
NUMBER FIVE: Hopefully the end result is... – So taking all of the above together, at the conclusion of half marathon (and marathon hopefully), I hope to walk away feeling good and not in intense pain for weeks to follow. That happened in May and this time around, you will read about how I am (hopefully) taking care of myself and healing well. Then I can focus on the next goal – an Ultra!

Chip and Joanna Gaines have gotten themselves in a bit of trouble recently.
According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), the couple violated a rule on their show that pertains to lead paint safety.
Apparently the pair broke a rule known as the RRP Rule (Renovating, Remodeling and Painting Rule) on their show "Fixer Upper". It states that businesses must take proper precautions working on homes built before 1978 in order to minimize lead exposure. Specific parts of that rule were violated along with failing to gain EPA certification. The Gaines also did assign a certified renovator, did not provide pamphlets to home owners and did not post any signs with warnings.
But, after the company was fined, they "took immediate steps to ensure compliance with the RRP Rule, including to obtain RRP certification and training for the firm and its staff and to ensure active compliance across all ongoing renovation projects," the EPA noted.
