FAQS – Cowgirl Cookie Co.
At the bottom of this page click the link titled, "By the Pound". We explain in detail here but the bottom line deal with us is, you get what you pay for and beyond anything on likely 95% of our orders or more, we overfill our tins to just make sure they are full. So even though you order just a 1 pound tin for example, once we go to weigh it and make your postage, it often weighs much more than what you originally ordered. Now when it comes to our special cookie collections outside of our regular catalog line up within the Cowgirl Collection, there too, it's not the count that matters but the weight. So some cookies are a lot smaller but you'll get a lot more of them simply because a larger quantity fit in the same size tin but you'll get the weight that you pay for, and then some – always.
DO YOU SELL SAMPLER TINS OF COOKIES? OR MIX DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF COOKIES SO WE CAN TRY MORE THAN ONE IN AN ORDER?
This is a great question and as a company, we made a tough decision to really ask ourselves what's important in delivering to our clients a delicious and perfectly made cookie. So here's the skinny on the samplers, and why we decided not to have this as an offering.
Well, we use a 1.5 ounce scoop to hand-shape all our cookies but because of the different types of dough and how they bake, some end up shorter, taller, flatter, thinner, fatter, rounder, and every shape in between. So each cookie roughly weighs that amount but some will look larger than their cousins simply because of how they bake up differently. This too is another reason why we don't mix cookie flavors in our tins as to get them all to fit properly together, it's best when they are all the same size so our clients get the most value for their purchase.
DOES THE COWGIRL COOKIE CO. OFFER SUGAR FREE, VEGAN, OR VEGETARIAN STYLE COOKIES?
This is a great question but the quick answer is no, not at the moment. We realize there are those with unique dietary needs such as reduced sugar, sodium, gluten allergies, or dietary needs by choice such as vegan or vegetarians and know it's hard to find delicious goodies that meet those standards. We get these requests often and just want to make mention to those who are looking for this type of product, we are researching recipes that we have which might be able to be altered to accommodate these requests. It's a tall order and a huge challenge since most of our recipes include dairy, sugar, and eggs. Thank you for your interest and if we are able to develop a product that meets those needs and tastes delicious, we'll be sure to offer it in the future.
DO YOU OFFER INDIVIDUAL SAMPLES OF OTHER COOKIE FLAVORS?
With each of our orders, we try to include a little surprise of another cookie flavor sample. Our clients write us and say a huge thank you for including the extras and we always try to do that as little "thank you" when we can. You see, we only bake that day, what we have orders for. So if we just happen to over bake a few cookies, more than what will fit properly in a tin, then we always try to include them into another clients order to give them a flavor they perhaps didn't order. So the quick answer is YES, we offer these but it's just by luck of the draw. We don't have this every day but if we've over-baked, you can be sure no cookie goes to waste and we'll pass on the goodness to you!
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO TAKE CARE OF MY COWGIRL COOKIE CO. GOODIES?
CAN YOU EAT THE COOKIES COLD?
Another great option to preserve freshness even longer is to simply pop your tin of cookies in the freezer and again, with that lid securely shut. They are yummy to eat ice cold, if you aren't patient enough to thaw them (like us). And, if you are the patient type and more of a cookie purist, do remove you cookies from the freezer and just thaw them naturally at room temperature for about 25 minutes.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO SERVE THE COOKIES WARM?
I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE THE WEATHER IS VERY HOT. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I RECEIVE MY GOODIES IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAT WAVE?
Now we reckon it's a good thing to get goodies from the Cowgirls all year long but during those scorching summer days when the sun just isn't quitin' any time soon we want provide you with a few details of consideration. Now, chocolate gets quite melty during those warmer months and if you aren't home or your giftee isn't available to receive their goodies and if they are just left out in the heat upon delivery as most parcels are, do this and both you and your goodies will be in good shape. Simply unpack your tin of cookies, brownies, whatever it maybe that might be on the melty side and just pop it into the icebox (refrigerator) for a couple of hours without opening the tins first to get the chocolate a chance to firm back up… It will set up right quick and your goodies will be good to go and that's how we like you to have them. And so you have it, proper cookie and goodie care. Not too hard, but just good to know.

Modeled after the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the LSPD are a prominent part of the storyline in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The LSPD houses a branch known as C.R.A.S.H. (Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums, based on an anti-gang branch of the LAPD), of which officers Frank Tenpenny, Eddie Pulaski, and Jimmy Hernandez are members. Tenpenny is also represented as the main antagonistic element throughout the game's entire storyline, and him, along with Pulaski, who is also an antagonist, use their authority as LSPD officers to achieve their sinister ends.
The LSPD seems to host the only SWAT team in San Andreas as the Enforcers that appear when the player has a 4-star wanted level have LSPD markings on them regardless of the player's location.
LSPD officers wear a black shirt, black pants, black shoes and a golden shield badge. C.R.A.S.H. members wear the same uniform as above, except with an additional patch on the right arm. LSPD SWAT officers wear a dark blue long-sleeved shirt with a dark blue body armor, dark blue pants with a holster, black boots, dark blue gloves, black balaclava and a dark blue combat helmet with combat googles.

The Police car is the main vehicle of the LSPD. It is a modified Premier with a custom paint job and a light bar. The same vehicle is also issued to C.R.A.S.H. members. LSPD SWAT officers respond in the Enforcer when the player reaches a 4-star wanted level. LSPD officers may be also seen using the Predator wandering around Los Santos waters. Also, the LSPD uses Police Maverick, HPV-1000 and S.W.A.T. in the missions like Reuniting the Families and End of the Line.

Every patrol officer carries a pistol and a nightstick as their main weapons, although they will also use shotguns when the player has a 3-star or more wanted level. Additionally, officers are seen using SMGs in "Reuniting the Families" and Micro SMGs in "End of the Line".

The department's headquarters sit adjacent to Los Santos City Hall in the Pershing Square district of Los Santos, San Andreas. This is where the player re-spawns after being arrested anywhere within Los Santos city limits.
There is another LSPD station in Verona Beach, unlike the other police stations, it does not serve as a spawn point after the player being arrested within Verona Beach.
While the LSPD does not have any jurisdiction in Red County, there is a police station just outside Los Santos in Dillimore, it shares the same interior as the LSPD headquarters, indicating it is a joint police station between the Los Santos Police Department and the San Andreas State Patrol, due to the town's close proximity.

In the underground garage of the Los Santos Police Department headquarters, the player can witness police brutality in the form of one police officer repeatedly punching a random pedestrian model while a second officer taunts or cheers on. This set piece may be inspired by the real-life beating of Rodney King by the Los Angeles Police Department, which eventually triggered the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
Benjamin Byron Davis, who would go on to voice act Dutch van der Linde in the Red Dead Redemption series, provided some voice lines for the LSPD officers.
In a beta screenshot, it is possible to see a blond officer, implying there were originally the main officer models before being replaced by the final models with black hair.

Die Beziehungen zwischen Algerien und Ungarn (Arabisch: العلاقات بين الجزائر والمجر; ungarisch: Algéria és Magyarország kapcsolatai) basieren auf die bilateralen Beziehungen zwischen Algerien und Ungarn. Beide Staaten nahmen ihre Beziehungen 1962, unmittelbar nach der Unabhängigkeit Algeriens, zueinander auf. Algerien hat eine Botschaft in Budapest und Ungarn unterhält eine Botschaft in Algier.

Geschichte
Erste intensivere Berührungspunkte zwischen beiden Nationen finden sich im Osmanischen Reich wieder, zu welchem Algerien als Beylerbeylik und später als Eyalet von 1516 bis 1830 und Ungarn als Eyalet von 1541 bis 1699 dazugehörten. Beide Staaten stellten seit ihrer Eingliederung in das Osmanische Reich Grenzprovinzen dar. Algerien in Nordafrika und Ungarn in Osteuropa. Nordafrikanische Korsaren, hauptsächlich aus Algerien, und die Regentschaft von Algier kämpften im Zuge des Türkenkriege an der Seite der Osmanen und hatten einen wesentlichen Anteil am militärischen Sieg, was letztendlich in der Eroberung Ungarns endete. Während der osmanischen Zeit kamen bis zu 80.000 Einwanderer aus verschiedenen Gebieten des Reiches um Ungarn nach dem Krieg wieder aufzubauen. Unter den hauptsächlich aus dem Kaukasus und der heutige Ukraine stammenden Menschen befanden sich auch kleine Volksgruppen aus Nordafrika.

Nach der Rückeroberung Ungarns 1699 durch Österreich flachten die Beziehungen ab. Die algerisch-ungarischen Beziehungen im gesamten 18. Jahrhundert spiegeln sich in den Beziehungen zwischen den Osmanen und der Habsburger wieder. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war die Beziehung geprägt durch Interessenskonflikte und ungeklärte Machtfragen auf dem Balkan und mit Russland. In militärischen Konfrontationen stellten die Korsaren aus Algier einen elementare Bestandteil der osmanischen Streitmacht auf See dar. Die Beziehungen brachen 1830 nach der blutigen und brutalen Kolonisation Algeriens durch Frankreich bis aufs weitere ab.

Moderne

1960er Jahre
Die modernen Beziehungen zwischen Algerien und Ungarn sind Teil der Arabisch-ungarischen Beziehungen. Nach dem blutigen Unabhängigkeitskrieg gegen die damalige Kolonial- und Besatzermacht Frankreich erlebte das unabhängige Algerien einen politischen Strukturwandel in Form des Sozialismus. Ungarn, Teil des damaligen Ostblocks, verfolgte Innenpolitisch eine ähnliche Agenda.

1963 beauftragte der erste Präsident Algeriens, Ahmed Ben Bella ungarische Architekten mit dem Bau des algerischen Olympiastadion. Demnach ließen sie das Stadion am Abbild des Népstadion in Ungarn errichten. Während den Bauarbeiten kam es zu einem geplanten Sabotageversuch seitens bulgarischer Arbeiter, welches jedoch frühzeitig aufgeklärt und verhindert werden konnte. In den Folgejahren wurden weitere Gebäudekomplexe in Algerien, wie zum Beispiel Krankenhäuser, Bildungseinrichtungen und Wohnkomplexe von Architekten aus Ungarn errichtet. Ungarn unterstützte Algerien im Algerisch-Marokkanischen Grenzkrieg von 1963 auf diplomatischer Weise.

1969 kam es zu der sogenannten El Tok Affäre. In dem Jahr wurde ein neuer Botschafter in Algier, namens Zoltán Zsigmond, ernannt. Im Zuge eines kommunistischen Kongress in Tripolis, Libyen leitete dieser rechtswidrige Aktionen der kommunistischen Partei Algeriens, die PAGS. Die algerische Regierung sah dies als Intervention innenpolitischer Angelegenheiten und verurteilte Ungarn scharf. Die Beziehungen wurden für mehrere Jahre auf Eis gelegt.

1970er Jahre
1971 besuchte der damalige Präsident Ungarns, Pál Losonczi seinen algerischen Amtskollegen Houari Boumedienne in der Landeshauptstadt Algier. Es wurden viele wichtige wirtschaftliche Vereinbarungen der beiden Staaten beschlossen, beispielsweise die Anwerbung von Arbeitskräften. Es war der erste Präsidentenbesuch eines Ungarn in Algerien.

Nach dem verlorenen Sechstagekrieg 1967 bekundeten die kommunistischen Staaten unter der Schirmherrschaft der Sowjetunion ihre Unterstützung der arabischen Staaten in ihrem Kampf gegen Israel und dem Westen. Ungarn bot 1973 während des Jom-Kippur-Krieges mehrfach den arabischen Staaten, darunter auch Algerien, seine Hilfe an. Ungarn sandte Sanitäre nach Ägypten um die dortige Armee zu unterstützen. In Ägypten war zur selben Zeit die algerische Armee stationiert. Algerien und Ungarn teilten während der kommunistischen Regierungszeit politisch gleiche Ansichten zur Palästinafrage.

Die Politik Ungarns hielt bis zum Jahr 1989 an.

2000er Jahre bis Heute
Die Beziehungen zwischen Algerien und Ungarn wurden Anfang der 2000er Jahre unter Abdelaziz Bouteflika wieder aufgenommen, werden jedoch aufgrund der politischen Maßnahmen unter Präsident Orban schwer belastet.

ACPS Opens New 'Grab and Go' Meal Sites
James Cullum March 25, 2020 at 5:15pm
ACPS food distribution points across the city during the COVID-19 shutdown. (Map via ACPS)
Alexandria City Public Schools have added three "grab and go" breakfast and lunch distribution locations for children over the age of two.
Food distribution at all the ACPS locations has also been limited to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to encourage social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic that has shuttered the school system for the remainder of the academic year.
"We're trying to really not have families out every day and staff out every day," ACPS Superintendent Gregory Hutchings, Jr. told the City Council/School Board Subcommittee in an online meeting on Tuesday. "Last week we had these meals available every day. We are really trying to adhere to the guidelines of social gathering."
The new locations are:
Mason at Van Dorn Apartments at 140 S. Van Dorn Street, from 10:45-11:15 a.m.
Brent Place Apartments at 375 South Reynolds Street, from 11:20-11:50 a.m.
Ruby Tucker Family Center at 322 Tancil Court, from 10:45 – 11:15 a.m.
ACPS is also offering meals at these locations between 8 a.m. and noon:
T.C. Williams High School [3330 King Street]
William Ramsay Elementary School [5700 Sanger Ave]
Francis C. Hammond Middle School [4646 Seminary Road]
Cora Kelly School for Math, Science and Technology [3600 Commonwealth Avenue]
Jefferson-Houston PreK-8 IB School [1501 Cameron Street]

Flood Mitigation on Tap for Alexandria Schools, Hammond Middle in Line for Upgrades
Vernon Miles November 18, 2019 at 10:35am
Alexandria City Public Schools has some big projects on its plate, but at a School Board meeting last Thursday, many of the smaller projects discussed could have a big impact on the schools.
The meeting discussed the top priorities for non-capacity improvements next year. While several schools are slated for sweeping modernization projects over the next ten years, the Capital Improvement Program upgrades could provide some stop-gap improvements in the meantime.
Francis C. Hammond Middle School was one of those schools that was not on the list for modernization and capacity upgrades, but staff said an assessment of school facilities unequivocally deemed it "the worst school."
"They were very concerned that it's not in the ten year CIP," staff said at the meeting. "Items we have on here [will be] bringing that up to par in the upcoming years."
There are $4.9 million dollars in upgrades planned for the school in the CIP, with a recurring theme of trying to mitigate flooding and leakage prevalent throughout the school.
Building envelope repair: cafeteria window replacement and mitigation for flooding in the stairwell and gym
Flooring repair or replacement: replacement of the auxiliary gym floor
HVAC repair or replacement: replacement of HVAC systems that have reached the end of their life-cycle
Plumbing and restroom upgrades: reconstruction of second-floor toilets and refinishing those on the first floor
Renovations and reconfigurations: this item includes several projects around the school, mainly centered around preventing flooding
Roof repair or replacement: adds a new roof to the D-Wing of the school
Site hardscape repair or replacement: regrading of the courtyard and adding new pipes
Stormwater management: maintenance work around the school
The courtyard regrading was seen as particularly crucial at the school. According to staff, the roof drains directly down into the courtyard and the pipes don't have the capacity to drain the water quickly enough, meaning water pools there and leaks down into the cafeteria below.
"There's a chance for a community pool there," one of the school board members quipped. "We need another one."
Stormwater management was also noted by staff as a problem at Ferdinand T. Day Elementary School. The CIP allocated $566,741 for renovations to the gym and upgrades for the parking garage. Staff said leaky pipes in the parking garage pour water down onto cars and led one staff member to note that it frequently looks like "it's raining inside Ferdinand T. Day."
A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 25, in ACPS headquarters (1340 Braddock Place) and final adoption is scheduled for Dec. 19.

Home Entertainment REVIEW: CREEPSHOW S1E5 finally captures a bit of the original's spirit
REVIEW: CREEPSHOW S1E5 finally captures a bit of the original's spirit
Finally some comic book effects done right!
Ricardo Serrano Denis
Shudder's Creepshow has been in an identity crisis since its first episode. Its tone and overall feel are all over the place and the comic book aesthetic that George Romero captured, and that the show's trailer tried to sell audiences on, has been tame and uninspired. Coming into Creepshow S1E5, I expected more of the same in terms of quality, which wasn't a lot, but I was appreciative that the segments I was treated to did do a better job of finally bringing some of the things it promised in its first trailer into the series.
"Night of the Paw," Creepshow S1E5
First up was "Night of the Paw," a retelling of W.W. Jacobs' The Monkey's Paw, in which a severed monkey's paw offers its user three wishes. These wishes come true but the price paid for each is heavy. It plays on the idea behind the ages old proverb of "be careful what you wish for."
This segment stands on the shoulders of Bruce Davison (X-Men, Lords of Salem), who gives a great performance as a mortician that bears weight of the monkey's paw and its horrors. A woman is involved in a violent crash that lands her in the mortician's house, seemingly by chance. Turns out the night's events might've been put in motion by the paw.
Davison's performance really does elevate what's ultimately a very bland segment with nothing surprising for people that already know about or have read the original story. There's no twist or play with the formula. The segment starts, unfolds, and closes exactly the way you think it will.
If you want a truly frightening and masterfully realized version of the Monkey's Paw story, I recommend you watch the 1972 British horror anthology movie Tales from the Crypt (dir. Freddie Francis). Its "Wish You Were Here" segment is among one of the best takes on the story.
Bruce Davison in "Night of the Paw," Creepshow S1E5
Davison really goes above and beyond with his character, imbuing it with as much tragedy and sadness but also tenderness and relatability as he can muster. As he tells the story of how the paw came into his life and how it destroyed it you can't help but cling to the character and hope he gets an ending worthy of the performance. Unfortunately, not even Davison can save the ending.
Lack of imagination with what appears to be a limited budget made for an ending that didn't take advantage of the emotional arc Davison expertly developed throughout the segment. In an instant, all was said and done without much left worthy of remembrance. It doesn't help that the comic book effects are barely used in the segment and, again, feel like an afterthought.
The second segment, "Times is Tough in Musky Holler," is best of the two, but strangely also the shortest one. It clocks in at little more than 10 minutes and feels more like an aperitif than a full meal, which might've done better if it had started off the entire episode. The Mayor of Musky Holler, Lester Barkley (played by Dane Rhodes), is in prison along with a group of people that apparently did horrible things in a town trying to survive the zombie apocalypse.
The setup's strong, compelling even, but ultimately too brief. The problem is that the idea gets lost in heavy exposition. Having said that, this segment stands as the only one thus far to more intentionally use the comic book effects to tell its story. We get small cuts of backstory interspersed with real-time events by way of moving comic book panels showing both timelines.
David Arquette in "Hard Times in Musky Holler," Creepshow S1E5
The effect is pulled off just right, even if it's in the service of exposition. The transitions between scenes, which shows just how evil each person inside the prison truly is, are seamless and clean. They are reminiscent of Romero's movie and evoke some of the playfulness the show was meant to indulge in since it premiered. I was glad we got to see some of the original movie's magic transferred over to the series.
The segment's ending, which is intends to be a gory political statement, is gleefully gruesome and fun. The final images are tailor-made for gore hounds and the makeup effects are among the best in the series. The segment would've been stellar were it allowed to grow into a full story, as was the case with the other episodes. The ingredients were there, but everything was put together too quickly. This makes "Times is Tough in Musky Holler" a nice but forgettable entry into a series that needed a shot of terror to salvage something, anything before its final episode.
Creepshow is a few days from its Halloween finale. Just before we get to the finish line we got the anthology's second best performance courtesy of Bruce Davison (right after DJ Qualls in "The Finger") and, finally, better use of the comic book effects. These elements weren't entirely successful in converging for a strong episode, but at least it stands as perhaps the best episode of the bunch thus far. Let's see how the series closes its first season.

Q: Tracert hop of a L2TP vpn client shows unknown subnet This isn't really a problem, I more than anything am trying to understand. The network I inherited and work on with another tech who built it is primarily Meraki. There are about 35 sites that interconnect with Meraki's site to site VPN's setup with all the endpoints running as Hub (Mesh).
The client vpn's use the native windows client. They connect to one of the sites that actually isn't the primary location which I suppose doesn't matter.
Recently I was looking into a different issue and ran a tracert from my off-prem client machine connected to the VPN. I somewhat understand that this wouldn't provide a lot of info because it should only show the hops in between the site I'm connected to and the destination ip\device.
That said, it is showing a hop of 192.168.100.1.
What is weird is that is a subnet not in use anywhere in the organization. It's not in any ARP or Route tables on ANY of the sites networks. The 'modem' of the site the client vpn connects to is one of those ATT modems that is the modem\router\wifi ap all in one jobs but IP-Passthorugh is configured.
Though I got here troubleshooting a lot of dropped packets and interruption of the site-to-site vpn in the Meraki log. It turns out it was the secondary internet which is a cellular cradlepoint. The other tech shut that interface down and the issues cleared up but I still see that 'unknown' hop. The other tech said that was the end point at our corp location where the machine I was tracerting to is located and said that hop with the unknown subnet was that endpoint but that endpoint is on 192.168.15.0. which to me doesn't make any sense.
So I'm really just trying to figure out why that unknown subnet is a hop, for my own edification.
Thank you for reading. I appreciate any help understanding this better.

As one of the last acts of his presidency, James Monroe signed a bill on March 3, 1825 which provided $10,000 for surveying the road and $20,000 to treat with Indians for right-of-way. On March 16, Monroe's successor, John Quincy Adams, appointed three commissioners to oversee the survey. One of those commissioners was George C. Sibley, formerly in charge of Fort Osage, a trading post operated by the U.S. Government east of present Kansas City. Sibley's journal and diaries provide most of what is known about the survey.
The expedition departed Fort Osage on July 17, 1825 with 42 men including two slaves and seven wagons painted light blue. Surveying as they traveled, the party arrived at Council Grove in early August where they negotiated with the Osages for right-of-way through their lands on the 10th of that month. Six days later, they conducted a similar treaty with the Kanzas near present day McPherson, Kansas. By August 30th, the survey team passed Pawnee Roek and on August 31 arrived at Pawnee Fork. Sibley's diary entry for August 31 and September 1 reads:
At half past 10 we reached the Pawnee fork, and camped on the bank a little below file fording place, at Some large Elm Trees, having measured from the last camp 6 M[ile}s & 56 Ch[ain]s. A heavy rain fell while we were on the road. The Creek appears to he too full now to venture to cross it with the Waggons; besides the hanks require some digging at the ford. Here we have a beautiful camping place & very fine range for the Horses.
The morning cloudy and cool. Mercury 68 at 8 o 'Clock. The Pawnee River is here about 40 yards wide, banks pretty high, bottom sandy, Water at present Muddy. Timber Elm, Ash, Elder, Cotton Tree, Willow, and Grape Vines. Yesterday I turned off from the direct course and struck the Arkansas at mouth of this River and then coursed it up about a mile to the fording place near which we are now encamped, which is just at the foot of a high rocky Hill. The path leading up from the mouth to the ford passes between the Pawnee and some Cliffs of Soft Rock upon the smooth faces of which are cut the names of many Persons, who have at different times passed this way to and from New Mexico. Some Indian marks are also to be seen on these Rocks.
The site described by Sibley as "Cliffs of Soft Rock" is at the corner of Second and State Streets in Larned, Kansas. Much of the stone observed by Sibley has disappeared being quarried by early Larnedites for building material. Gone too are the many inscriptions and Indian marks of which Sibley wrote. Regardless, the site still retains its basic integrity. Undoubtedly, the location was the campsite of the survey team on August 31, 1825.
The property was purchased by the Cobb family in 1921; and two of the Cobb brothers, Leslie and Wesley lived out the balance of their lives making marked improvements to the site. Through their hard work and creativity, the old quarry site strewn with rubble and debris was transformed into a garden spot.
In 1995, the site was purchased by three Larned citizens who have proposed to restore the property to its pre-century appearance and preserve this little piece of real estate as Sibley's Camp.

A lyric poem
It's hard to say that I love bridges in thousands of words. It's hard to do things for thousands of years.A hundred years of life has passed in a flash. It's very perfect and difficult to do well.
It's hard to say that I love bridges in thousands of words. It's hard to do things for thousands of years.
A hundred years of life has passed in a flash. It's very perfect and difficult to do well.
Nine days and the moon are always determined to explore the Eight Ways.
Seven stars guide you not to go astray, six gods have their own brain.
Although the beauty of the five senses depends on the heart, the hard work of the four bodies pays off.
Eating and clothing for three meals should be lenient, and the style of two sleeves should be high.
Happiness in life is happiness, abandoning worries and happiness.
Approaching Hengshui Lake

Everyone has the will to win. Champions have the will to prepare to win. -- While this statement from Coach John Wooden was made with basketball in mind, I apply it to the way I approach each transaction or case in which I am involved. I will not be out-worked by the other side. I find that preparation often is the difference between a bad result and a good result, or a between good result and a great result!
The best thing about Ward and Smith is its client-centered approach. My colleagues and I strive to develop and maintain relationships with each client. We are accessible and responsive to the client. We keep the client consistently updated regarding the status of each matter, without the client's asking, and even if there is nothing new to report. A client is not left to wonder.
What I admire most about our clients is their loyalty to Ward and Smith. We have some clients with which I have worked for over 25 years. We also have some client contacts who have switched employers and who made it one of their first orders of business to get Ward and Smith on their teams. There are many choices when it comes to legal services, but our clients consistently have been loyal to Ward and Smith, for which we are greatly appreciative!

Q: Responsive image that fit to div How can I do similar responsive images? Like on this page.
http://pixelgrade.com/demos/border/
I was trying do this with css, but with no effects.
Thanks.

A: Use background-size:cover property
html, body{
  height:100%;
}
.responsive_bg{
  background:url("http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/ShiFengWaterFall_002.jpg") no-repeat;
  background-size:cover;
  width:100%;
  height:100%
}

DEMO

A: This image is set as a background-image. Do you have any code to share with us so we might help?
Basically, instead of writing the usual image:

you would use a regular div that you size according to the responsive behavior you want to see:

and the CSS that comes with to style the image (background) itself:
div{
    background-size:cover; // fills the div
    background-position; 50% 50%; //centers the background
    //add here some way to get your div to be the proper size for responsiveness
}

And of course, you use media-queries to add some more responsiveness to the whole shenanigan.

Franky Perez Releases His Heartfelt Single 'The Great Divide' and Premieres Its Video
19th November 2021	0	By John Deaux
Las Vegas-born-and-based singer-songwriter Franky Perez releases his new single, 'The Great Divide,' today from his forthcoming album. Franky also shares the moving video for the single, which features footage from his documentary film, 'Crossing the Great Divide,' scheduled to debut at the 2022 SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas next March.
Franky's album, 'Crossing the Great Divide,' will be released in Spring 2022 by Black Sea Music, who say, "We're excited for this album and to share in Franky's vision that music has the power to heal and unite." No wonder, as the album has been described as "beautiful, inspiring and very timely" and contains some of the most inspirational and deep-felt songs of Franky's career. The notion of the great divide will resonate with many, especially after the difficult, challenging and often divisive times the world has gone through in the past few years.
"The great divide, as it pertains to this album and song, is anything that pulls humanity apart," says Franky. "Like the rest of the world, I felt isolated and uncertain during the pandemic and the political climate. This song was a direct reflection of the way I felt in that moment. I know it may sound corny, but I believe it wholeheartedly: The only thing that can heal us is love."
Franky felt the need to help bridge and heal the rifts and wounds, so he set out on a journey crossing the United States on his motorcycle and filming what would become the documentary titled 'Crossing the Great Divide.' He performed intimate acoustic shows for frontline healthcare workers and residents at nursing homes and other facilities from Miami to California and traded stories with fellow musicians and entertainers like the Soul Rebels, LP, Randy Travis, Billy Gibbons and Bill Burr. It was a journey of service, purpose, and ultimately self-discovery. Franky's new album, a companion to the film, was inspired by this experience.
"While we were all safely at home frustrated about our interrupted lives, there were selfless people laying THEIRS on the line for us and our loved ones. I just wanted to show them my appreciation the best way I knew how: a song and a thank-you.
"This trip, with just a motorcycle and a guitar, really grounded me as a performer," he reflects, "The lights, stage and distance were gone. I was there to not just entertain, but to connect on a deeply personal level. These small shows were some of the most moving and important of my career."
The Great Divide single can now be streamed/download on all digital platforms
