The Reformed Church in Hungary signed memorandum of commitment with Lebanese and Syrian Churches
Last March, a delegation from our Hungarian member The Reformed Church in Hungary paid a visit to the Evangelical churches of Lebanon and Syria, signing a memorandum of commitment.
Since the outbreak of war in 2010, The Reformed Church in Hungary has been playing an important role in supporting the Presbyterian community of the Middle East, which suffers from severe discrimination on the basis of two grounds at the same time.
The memorandum of commitment is an important step forward jointly released by the Hungarian Reformed Churches and the Evangelical Arab and Armenian churches to reaffirm their strong spiritual community and their commitment to cooperate.
Churches in Lebanon and Syria have also received generous support from the Hungarian government. Thanks to this donation, the Arab-speaking Church is planning to build a new church centre and a school in Aleppo to replace the old ones, which have been completely destroyed. The Armenian Evangelical community is already using this financial support to modernise its schools and health facilities in Damascus and Aleppo, which were also bombed during the war.
To know more about the memorandum of commitment, check our member's website.

ECW Guilty as Charged 1999 is the only ECW PPV I ever watched live so it holds a special place in my heart. And what a show it is to as Taz finally gets his shot as ECW World Champion Shane Douglas, both Tajiri and Super Crazy make their American debuts, and a whole lot more. Unfortunately this is the WWE Network version so the music is going to be generic and terrible but hey can't win them all. I haven't watched this since it first aired, bootleg copies I had of it always had technical issues for some reason, so I'm excited to see how it holds up. Will it still be good or will it be like most ECW shows and have aged poorly? Let's find out!

What's ARFE like out of its managerial chair, and what's Team ARFE-SmartWool like out of its CW-X and SmartWool baselayers? We all got a chance to find out this past long weekend, in the woods of New Hampshire's White Mountains. Team ARFE-SmartWool members Chris Edmundson, Kathy Rowe, Jeff Rowe, and Jim Holden; Crew Queen Pamela Robbins, and your own favorite Crew Minion Yi Shun Lai spent some time in each other's company over the long weekend. Under the tutelage of Plymouth State University's incomparable Christian Bisson, we were properly schooled in Leave No Trace standards and their uses insofar as adventure racing goes.
Christian taught us everything we need to know about Leave No Trace, and then some. Read on for more.
Chris picks up Yi Shun and Jim in Boston. We realize that Chris packs for a camping trip like a drag queen summering in Rio: Four enormous bags and a man-purse. Chris defends the haul by saying he "packed for every activity possible," at which point our Crew Queen, cramped in the front seat with Chris' man-purse, pulls from it his reading material: a 700-page tome of poker instruction. The Crew Minion realizes that she is in for a long drive, as Jim and Chris instantly start gabbing about poker strategy and Chris reveals that he played poker for an insane amount of time on Tuesday night, thereby leaving him so tired that he sleeps through Pamela's arrival in Boston Wednesdsay night. Pamela is remarkably forgiving.
We are joined in the clasroom by the incomparable Amber Rethwisch, an Americorps volunteer who quickly became a part of the ARFE family and spent most of the camping trip in a bug net. She was smart.
Amber, in her de rigeur bug net. We wanted to take her home with us, she was that cool.
We spent this day in the classroom learning about the background of Leave No Trace, handing out homeword assignments, and packing our food. And I don't just mean Mylar bags of dehydrated onion soup, or beef stroganoff, or whatever, I mean food. Christian is a Leave No Trace instructor in the NOLS tradition, which means that he wants to teach us how to really cook in the backcountry. He had us carry out well over 55 pounds worth of nourishment: cake- and pizza-dough flour, dehydrated eggs, quinoa, pasta, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, elephant garlic, cumin, lentils, oatmeal, chai, tea,...Your Miss Midwesterly looked at the haul and noted somewhat drily that the stuff going on this camping trip well outweighed what was in her refrigerator at home here in Chicago, which amounts to a bag of baby carrots for Sprocket, fifteen beers, and Gatorade. We learn about LNT's first principle, Plan Ahead and Prepare.
We spend the first night in PSU's Loon Lake cabin, which is on a lake (duh) and affords the Crew Minion some valuable swimming time. Chris and Crew Queen go rock climbing. Crew Minion, Jim, Kathy, and Jeff head out to dinner at a terrible restuarant, but the company is good enough to drown out the awful service and so-so food. We return to find the cabin overrun with college students who are simultaneously swilling gin and cranberry juice (the mixologist in the Crew Minion cringes) and talking about the day they spent jugging ropes. The Crew Minion wonders how eleven people are going to share one shower, and then she realizes that only one of the college students has intentions to shower.
Beds in cabin are squeaky-squealy like stuck pigs; Jeff is a snorer; Jim is a moaner; Chris has a nightmare and tries to punch his way through the wall to Jim. Pamela shushes Chris; Crew Minion spends night stewing neurotically and uselessly over horrible service in restaurant. All in all, a restless night, and the college students are the only ones who get any sleep.
Four of us head out to Dunkin Donuts to get some coffee and donuts; Pamela and Chris, both health-and-environment-conscious vegans, opt out.
We meet Christian and Amber at the PSU parking lot, divide up into cars for the ride to the trailhead, get out of the car, and realize quickly that the Black Flies in the region like to chew on people. Between packing, swat at bugs; kill several triumphantly. Christian looks horrified and gently shoos bugs away from his face.
Amber, left, sans her bug net, cringes from a dive-bombing kamikaze black fly. Pamela picks at one that gets stuck between her teeth. Chris crashes the photo.
Christian had notified us before that he'd be sure to shorten our hiking days to making time for training in the afternoons: the first day's hike is a whopping one-point-five mile! We split into two group to lesson the impact on the trail: four and four, traveling about ten minutes apart. It's part of Amber's lesson on traveling on durable surfaces, Leave No Trace's second principle.
Chris looks like he needs exercise, so Pamela and Crew Minion indulge him by letting him carry us over a stream. Crew Minion is so pooped from the trip that she uses the time on Chris' back to hydrate.
Chris looks happier carrying us over a stream, doesn't he?
At camp, a lovely idyllic site set by a stream, Christian and Amber help us to pick durable sites to set our tents up on. There's an existing "social" trail leading from the kitchen area to the tents, so we don't have to create a new one. We set the kitchen area well away from the tent area, to reduce impact. We set up two kitchens, ostensibly for the same reasons, but we all know it's because the veg-heds, of which there are four, want nothing to do with heathen meat-eaters.
Chris goes for a run up Mount Israel; Pamela gamely jogs it; Crew Minion, Jeff, Kathy, and Jim hike it and sit up top for a little while, baking and enjoying a Blackberry-less life.
Mount Israel, at 2380 feet elevation, is bigger than anything the Midwesterly folks have seen in a long time.
After our hike, everyone converges on the swimming hole for a little dip, and we converge on a mis-placed bridge to exercise Leave No Trace principle number four: Leave What You Find. Someone's moved the bridge over swampy water to a completely unreasonable location, so we move it back to where it won't create a new trail and where it'll be better served. Chris loses a Chaco in the muck; Crew Minion remembers why she dislikes swamp mud, and everyone goes back to camp, feeling like we did something good.
Dinner is quinoa, lentils with cumin, tuna steaks for the meat-eaters, and tempeh for the vegheads. Kathy and Jeff struggle with the quinoa for a little while until the Crew Minion sticks her spoon in the pot, eats a mouthful, and pronounces it ready.
Kathy and Jeff struggle over the quinoa.
Jeff shows us how to build a mound fire with sand from near the swimming hole, which we haul back to the hole after we're done; Jim teaches a sample Leave No Trace awareness clinic in the style we'd employ at a race, and we give him feedback and brainstorm, using Amber's teaching experience, for ways to reach more racers and people.
Tune in tomorrow for Days Three and Four.

Ahead of Lidl's LGFA sponsorship announcement, we wanted conversations started online about how women are treated in sport. Despite devoting as much time, energy and commitment as men, women are not taken seriously. There are some pretty negative comments out there and we decided to tackle these head on. That's when we created Ladyball – a spoof product, advertised as a real one. The campaign was led by digital channels and supported by PR, print, radio, editorial and on even TV! The campaign immediately went global, getting everyone talking, trending top place across the country for several days, and getting written about by press across the world.
Ladyball did exactly what it was meant to do – it ignited the conversation around women in sport.
We created Ladyball to ultimately change behaviours in order to be more supportive to woman in sport. Since the launch of Ladyball & Serious Support TV we have increased the profile of the game, increased engagement and attendance at the games, and The Ladies Gaelic Football Association now spend 50% of their week fielding media calls where before they were knocking on doors trying to get coverage.

Antitrust violations by the microsoft corporation and investigations since 1990
On the same day the parties filed a proposed consent judgment. Background The Government filed the complaint and proposed judgment after a four-year investigation of Microsoft. According to Microsoft, but not confirmed by the Government, the FTC considered a wide range of practices including:
What is at stake is money. Maldoom 1 Doing this stalled the investigations even more, until finally in August ofCheck 1 the Federal Trade Commission decided to hand the case over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice moved quickly, with Anne K.
Check 1 The case was finally ended on July 15,with Microsoft signing a consent settlement. After the settlement, Microsoft would be forced to sell their operating systems according to the number of computers shipped with a Microsoft operating system installed, and not for computers that ran other operating systems.
Check 2 Another practice that the Justice Department accused Microsoft of was that Microsoft would specify a minimum number of minimum number of operating systems that the retailer had to buy, thus eliminating any chance for another operating system vendor to get their system installed until the retailer had installed all of the Microsoft operating systems that it had installed.
Maldoom 2 In addition to specifying a minimum number of operating systems that a vendor had to buy, Microsoft also would sign contracts with the vendors for long periods of time such as two or three years.
In order for a new operating system to gain popularity, it would have to do so quickly, in order to show potential buyers that it was worth something.
With Microsoft signing long term contracts, they eliminated the chance for a new operating system to gain the popularity needed, quickly.
Tying was a practice in which Microsoft would use their leverage in one market area, such as graphical user interfaces, to gain leverage in another market, such as operating systems, where they may have competition. Maldoom 2 In the preceding example, Microsoft would use their graphical user interface, Windows, to sell their operating system, DOS, by offering discounts to manufacturers that purchased both MS-DOS and Windows, and threatening to not sell Windows to companies who did not also purchase DOS.
Microsoft litigation - Wikipedia
In the end, Microsoft decided to suck it up and sign the settlement agreement. In signing the agreement, Microsoft did not actually have to admit to any of the alleged charges, but were able to escape any type of formal punishment such as fines and the like.
The settlement that Microsoft agreed to prohibits it, for the next six and a half years from: On one side of the issue, there are the people who feel that Microsoft should be left alone, at least for the time being. I am one of these people, feeling that Microsoft does more good than bad, thus not necessitating their breakup.
I feel this way for many reasons, and until Microsoft does something terribly wrong or illegal, my opinion will stay this way.Since investigations on Microsoft began the corporation realized it had a reputation to uphold as well as dispute the legal issues of antitrust violations.
Microsoft's main complaints of violation came from its competitors as being monopolistic.
Aug 30, · The European Commission said today that it has broadened its inquiry into the business practices of the Microsoft Corporation (news/quote), repeating its accusation that the company violated antitrust laws and seeking new information about a software product that enables audio and video content on computers.
Microsoft has been involved in numerous high-profile legal matters that involved litigation over the history of the company, including cases against the United States, the European Union, and competitors.
Since , a battle has raged in United States courts between the United States government and the Microsoft Corporation out of Redmond, Washington, headed by Bill Gates. What is at stake is money.

The expression is typically "when in Rome." But today, arriving in Telegraph Creek, where we are to finally put the boats on the gorgeous Stikine, I watch how our group, in more ways than one, meshes and molds to the intimately woven fabric of this serene and strongly native town.
It's like the pieces to the puzzle have expanded.
First, there's Doreen. This is the woman working what appears to be the town's one and only restaurant and place to get a coffee: the Stikine River Song. She's as sweet as the shop's delicious pie, who points Jon towards Bill, another local of a noble mention.
Bill is a 74-year-old native man who was born in the precise place we will all be paddling to: Wrangell, Alaska. While he is in fact American, he has spent most of his life living in Telegraph (and was even the mayor of Sawmill… population… SIX)!
For this, Jon has asked Bill to give us a group pep-talk, just steps away from where we will be jumping in the canoes tomorrow morning.
"You follow 'dem buoys faithfully," he says, sitting at the picnic table accompanied by one of his closest friends, "And always be mindful of the tide."
"Eeny, meeny, miny, mo… Always go with the main flow!"
"And be damn careful."
With a hint of an accent, we learn how despite Bill's relocating to Canada, he spent six years in the American army.
"I went from dog teams to M16s," he says, adding how when he got to the army, he was demanded by the service to pick a religion.
"They started calling me a rabbai," he laughs.
"I don't care if you're black, red or whatever. We should all just get along."
Bill shows us how he applies the same mentality to nature. He reveals his sorrow over the state of the environment and the world today.
"We used to brag that these parts were the land of the big blue sky," he says, "But now there's so much fog and rain. It's happening all over the world."
Diving deeper into his memory bank, he recalls catching 80 fish in an hour along the Stikine: "Now you're lucky if you catch three in a day."
Before heading to Bill's home to later swim in Sawmill Lake behind his house, Bill is sure to give us some final advice.
"Just take care of each other. And work as a team. That way you have friends for life. And no enemies."
"bodhis."
Letting his words ring true, I later head to the café Doreen is working at to sit down to get some of my own words down on paper. I am painfully distracted by the state of the restaurant. Doreen is the only employee. Yet, she has a full café.
Having worked in the industry for over eight years, I close my notebook, roll up my sleeves, and head to the dish-pit. I dive in, take hold of the rush, and get the job done.
"Well aren't you an angel!" she exclaims.
Laughing, all I can think is…
While somedays I am blue, others, all I see is red…
I'm just your average earthly human. Along for the ride.
It's a story, of a story, of a story…
Here's to "bleeding the same blood."

Pembrolizumab Elicits Robust, Durable Antitumor Activity in MSI-H Advanced Endometrial Cancer
By Chris Ryan
Pembrolizumab monotherapy produced meaningful, durable responses in patients with previously treated, advanced microsatellite instability–high or mismatch repair–deficient endometrial cancer.
David O'Malley, MD
Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) monotherapy produced meaningful, durable responses in patients with previously treated, advanced microsatellite instability–high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair–deficient (dMMR) endometrial cancer, according to data from the phase 2 KEYNOTE-158 trial (NCT02628067) published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.1
The immunotherapy induced an objective response rate (ORR) of 48% (95% CI, 37%-60%) per independent central radiologic (ICR) review in 79 patients who comprised the efficacy analysis population. Of those who responded, 14% achieved a complete response (CR), and 34% experienced a partial response (PR). Notably, 21 of the 38 patients who achieved a CR, including 8 of 11 who had a confirmed CR, had ongoing responses at the time of data cutoff, which was October 5, 2020. Eighteen percent of patients had stable disease, and 13 of those 14 patients experienced a reduction in tumor size from baseline.
Moreover, patients who received less than 2 lines of prior therapy (n = 38) experienced an ORR of 53% (95% CI, 36%-69%) vs an ORR of 44% (95% CI, 28%-60%) in those who received at least 2 prior lines (n = 41). Patients who were administered prior radiation therapy (n = 56) experienced an ORR of 52% (95% CI, 38%-65%) with single-agent pembrolizumab vs an ORR of 39% (95% CI, 20%-61%) in those who did not receive prior radiation therapy (n = 23).
"Pembrolizumab demonstrated robust and durable antitumor activity with manageable toxicity in patients with advanced MSI-H/dMMR endometrial cancer," lead study author David M. O'Malley, MD, of The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, and colleagues, wrote. "These findings support the use of pembrolizumab as a treatment option for patients with advanced MSI-H/dMMR endometrial cancer with treatment failure on prior therapy."
Approximately 25% to 31% of patients with endometrial cancer have tumors with high levels of MSI-H and dMMR. Specifically, dMMR occurs as a mutation in 1 of the following MMR genes: MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6 mutations; it can also occur as sporadic methylation of the MLH1 promoter.2 MSI-H and dMMR tumors have a clear increase in somatic mutations compared with non–MSI-H and dMMR tumors.3
Previously, pembrolizumab elicited an ORR of 13% in patients with PD-L1–positive endometrial cancer who were enrolled to the phase 1b KEYNOTE-028 trial (NCT02054806).4 Results from a prospective analysis of the phase 2 KEYNOTE-016 trial (NCT01876511) showed that the immunotherapy produced an objective response in 53% of those with dMMR endometrial cancer.5 Moreover, findings from an initial analysis of the phase 2 KEYNOTE-158 trial showed that pembrolizumab induced an ORR of 34.3% in patients with previously treated unresectable or metastatic MSI-H and dMMR non–colorectal cancers (CRCs).6
The open-label, multicohort KEYNOTE-158 trial enrolled patients with several types of advanced solid tumors. Cohort D of the trial was comprised of those with endometrial carcinoma, and cohort K included those with any advanced solid tumor except for CRC that was MSI-H/dMMR, including endometrial cancer.
To be eligible for enrollment, patients needed to be at least 18 years of age with histologically or cytologically documented advanced metastatic and/or unresectable disease that was incurable. Patients had to have experienced disease progression on, or have intolerance to, standard therapies. Patients also needed to have radiologically measurable disease per RECIST v. 1.1 criteria and ICR review, an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, and adequate organ function.
If patients had a diagnosis of immunodeficiency, received systemic steroid therapy or immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days of first dose, had active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy within 2 years, or received treatment with a monoclonal antibody or an investigational agent within 4 weeks, they were excluded.
Other key exclusion criteria included use of chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 2 weeks; known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis; current pneumonitis or history of pneumonitis that required steroids; and an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
Participants were given pembrolizumab intravenously at a dose of 200 mg on day 1 of each 3-week treatment cycle for 35 cycles, which equated to approximately 2 years. Treatment was administered until documented disease progression, unacceptable adverse effects (AEs), intercurrent illness preventing further treatment, investigator decision, or patient withdrawal of consent.
Notably, patients who achieved CR, PR, or stable disease with pembrolizumab were eligible to receive up to 17 cycles of retreatment with the immunotherapy after disease progression, if safety criteria were met.
The primary end point of the trial was ORR, which was defined as the proportion of patients achieving CR or partial response per RECIST v1.1 criteria and ICR review, for patients with an enrolled tumor type and a positive tumor sample for 1 of the prespecified biomarkers, including MSI-H and dMMR. Secondary end points included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).
Results from an initial analysis of KEYNOTE-158 showed that single-agent pembrolizumab elicited an ORR of 57% in the first 49 patients with MSI-H/dMMR endometrial cancer.7 In the paper, O'Malley and colleagues shared safety and efficacy findings in a larger number of patients, with longer follow-up in those with previously treated, advanced MSI-H/dMMR disease.
A total of 90 patients with MSI-H and dMMR endometrial cancer were enrolled to cohorts D (n = 11) and K (n = 79) between February 1, 2016, and September 23, 2020. As of the data cutoff, 79 patients were eligible for efficacy analysis after having received at least 1 dose of pembrolizumab and having been enrolled to the trial for at least 26 weeks before cutoff.
The median age of these participants was 64 years (range, 42-86), and 61% had an ECOG performance status of 1. Moreover, 48% had received at least 2 lines of prior therapy, and 68% had previously received radiation treatment. The median duration of treatment was 8.3 months (range, 1 day to 26.9 months).
At data cutoff, 58% of patients had discontinued treatment with pembrolizumab, 20% had completed 35 cycles, and 22% were still on study treatment. Two patients received a second course of the immunotherapy. In the efficacy population, the median time from first dose to data cutoff was 42.6 months (range, 6.4-56.1).
Additional data indicated that among 75 evaluable patients in the efficacy population who had at least 1 post-baseline tumor assessment, 75% experienced a reduction in target lesion size with pembrolizumab.
The median DOR was not yet reached (NR; range, 2.9-49.7+). Moreover, 88% of patients were estimated to have a response duration of 1 year or longer, and 73% of patients were estimated to have a response duration of 2 years or longer. The Kaplan-Meier estimate of the proportion of patients with response duration at 3 years or longer was 68%.
The median PFS with pembrolizumab was 13.1 months (95% CI, 4.3-34.4). The estimated 1- and 2-year PFS rates were 51% and 41%, respectively; at 3 and 4 years, this rate was 37%. Moreover, the median OS was NR in these patients. The Kaplan-Meier estimated 1-year, 2-year, and 3- and 4-year OS rates were 69%, 64%, and 60%, respectively. Fifty-seven percent of patients experienced disease progression or died.
Study authors noted no new safety signals with pembrolizumab.
AEs considered by the investigator to be related to study treatment occurred in 76%, with grade 3 or 4 treatment-related AEs occurring in 12% of patients. Notably, no fatal treatment-related toxicities were observed.
The most common AEs of any grade included pruritus (24%), fatigue (21%), and diarrhea (16%). The only grade 3 or higher treatment-related AEs to occur in 2 or more patients were hyperglycemia (2%), decreased lymphocyte count (2%), and increased transaminases (2%). Two grade 4 treatment-related AEs were reported and included enterocolitis and decreased neutrophil count; they occurred in the same patient.
Seven percent of patients discontinued treatment because of a treatment-related toxicity, which included increased transaminases (n = 2), arthritis (n = 1), drug-induced liver injury (n = 1), enterocolitis (n = 1), and rash (n = 1).
Immune-mediated AEs were reported in 28% of patients and the most frequent effects included hypothyroidism (14%), hyperthyroidism (8%), and infusion reactions (4%). Most of these toxicities were either grade 1 or 2 in severity. However, 7% of patients reported grade 3 or 4 immune-mediated toxicities, and these included severe skin reactions (n = 2), adrenal insufficiency (n = 1), colitis (n = 1), hepatitis (n = 1), and type 1 diabetes mellitus (n = 1).
Two patients discontinued treatment because of an immune-mediated toxicity, 1 of which was colitis and the other was hepatitis.

Bison, Dukes Have Been on Collision Course for FCS Showdown
By Dave Kolpack	• Published January 3, 2018 • Updated on January 3, 2018 at 4:48 pm
The North Dakota State Bison and their fans owned Frisco, Texas, for five straight championship seasons, not only on the football field but in area hotels, restaurants and sports bars. Now returning after a one-year interruption, the Bison will find suburban Dallas a bit more crowded.
The top-seeded and defending champion James Madison (14-0) and the No. 2-seeded Bison (13-1) will square off Saturday for the Football Championship Subdivision title in a matchup of the dominant FCS programs with well-traveled contingents. Dukes coach Mike Houston has described the quest for tickets as a contest in itself.
Fans are in "a fight right now for every ticket that's out there," Houston said.
It's the first time since 2011 and the first time since the FCS playoff field expanded to 24 teams that the top two seeds will face one another in the title game. Their resumes in the last half-dozen years include the two longest winning streaks in FCS. The Bison won a record 33 straight games between 2012 and 2014. The Dukes are currently riding a 26-game winning streak.

Houston, who last month signed a 10-year contract extension with James Madison, unabashedly said on the way to the top that he was building his team to beat the Bison, and that's what the Dukes did last year in the FCS semifinals. Houston said the win gave his team respect for North Dakota State's program and confidence it had reached its level. Asked what he could take from that game, Bison coach Chris Klieman said, "Nothing, really."
"We just watched the film and decided what we liked and didn't like ... and moved on," Klieman said.
This year the teams seem evenly matched in all phases, including the presence of two veteran quarterbacks who have combined to win 62 games. Junior Easton Stick is 33-3 as a starter for the Bison. Senior Bryan Schor is 29-3 in his career with the Dukes.
"Both players, I think their teams know how valuable they are," Klieman said about Stick and Schor.
Both teams have moved on from a rash of injuries. The Dukes kept on rolling despite being particularly hard-hit on their offensive line. The Bison saw four of their top five running backs go down and lost their two starting cornerbacks in the playoffs. Klieman said the first step in overcoming injuries is expecting them to happen.
"That's just the nature of football. You're going to have guys injured," Klieman said. "Nobody wants that. I hope we're at our best, I hope JMU is at their best. But that's the reality and both teams have lost guys for the season."
Thanks in part to the three-week break between the semifinals and finals, some of those injured players could see action on Saturday.
North Dakota State standout defensive tackle Nate Tanguay said his advice to his younger teammates during championship week is to "lock in" during practices and meetings, but relax and enjoy the flurry of activities that includes meeting with former Bison football players and an annual bowling tournament.
"Hey, take it all in, because this could be taken away in an instant," said Tanguay, who suffered a season-ending knee injury late in the 2016 campaign.
One person happy to be taking in Bison fans is Robert Verich, an owner and general manager of Tight Ends Sports Bar and Grill, a 450-seat watering hole in Plano with 42 TVs and 118 employees. He said the difference in his sales from 2017 to 2016 was "the Bison week," or lack thereof.
"If you take the busiest day we've ever had, it doesn't compare to when the Bison are here. And we're busy. We're one of the most popular places in the state of Texas," Verich said. "What a great way to start the year. Imagine having a week where you can double your income for everybody."

This quote comes out of a commentary written by Henri Nouwen regarding violence in the world. It seems to me that the "blessing or curse we carry in our hearts" is inherited. To change this inheritance for better appears to be a choice, though often difficult. If I want to see change in the world, then I need to start changing those things in myself that I see as problems in the world around me, as best I can in any given moment, starting with the smallest, most seemingly insignifcant issues. Otherwise, I fulfill the role of judgmental victim.
I am husband, father, brother, son, friend and artist... To name a few. These musings share a little sliver of my aspirations, successes and failures.


Fear is just a loop of thoughts that you are feeding with new energy. Fear is generated mostly because of a distorted way of understanding of ourselves and the world around us. We end up creating more and more if we continue to focus our energy on them. They do not go away by just reassuring ourselves or by changing roles that deceive no one else but us.
Fears begin as feelings, beliefs based on past experiences or as expectations. Over a period of time, when there is no more space to hold these fearful thoughts in your mind, they all manifest in your body as physical tension or as certain health issues.
Fears limit your experiences. You may not fully commit to your efforts and they hold you back from achieving your full potential. To understand better let us look at some of the fears that limit your ability to accomplish your goals.
*Fear of inadequacy or not being good enough attributes to lower self confidence.
*Fear of other people lowers your ability to express yourself.
*Fear of losing or disappointments or being out of control may stop you from trying new.
*Fear of being out of control makes you avoid those ones which you have no control.
It is healthy when fear of loss helps us take steps to protect what we have worked hard for, but it is unhealthy to continue to fear something we can do nothing about.
"Everything you want is on the other side of fear."Jack Canfield.
Not all of our fears are specific and can be defined. They can appear as nervousness, hesitation, self doubt,or reluctance. Many of them turn into phobias. They keep multiplying unless a conscious effort is made to move past them.
Understanding the fears helps us to manage them better. The deeper your understanding, the greater it starts to dissolve the fear. Many of our fears are because of our attachment to possessions or people around us or success. For instance, When we understand that possessions are not the source of our joy or well-being, we don't fear losing them. You don't fear loss of money or success when you understand how money is created and you can always create more. Try to understand reasons that are holding you back. Most of the times they are made- up beliefs that are commonly associated with future events or based on past actions. Awareness reduces fear.
If you deny your fears, they remain and sabotage your dreams. When you accept what is and continue, you get to know them and this in a way weakens that which is holding you back. You cannot control your fears. By accepting and facing your fears, you will realise that whatever you feared most of the times wasn't really that scary.
Use fear as a fuel to motivate you.
Don't treat fear like an enemy. Treat it like your best friend who can help you. Try and replace your fears with love and power. Don't let fear take over as this leads to self sabotage. Bring in the power within to overcome that is holding you back. Fear need not be an adversary. Make it as your guide and adviser. Fearlessness can be a powerful weapon against self doubt and low self confidence.
Use action habit to cure fear.
By taking decisive action or doing what you fear makes the fear disappear. Fear makes you psychologically uncomfortable just as pain does physically.
It is very essential to know when and where you should let fear guide you to take care and when you should choose not take risks. You can push through psychological fears such as fear of other people, shame, embarrassment, or rejection and so on as they are subjective and there is no risk of physical danger. But in case of physical fears, where there is a risk of physical injury, it is better to take precautions and not to take foolish risks.
Do not feed your fears.
Fears feed on our insecurities, feelings of loss, inadequacy and attachments. Don't feed much energy to the negative thoughts that come and go. It is easy to do if you simply refuse to recall your negative and self depreciating thoughts. The unpleasant thoughts and fears will gradually disappear as you develop competence.
Don't let fears capitalise on your opportunities. Accept and get past them. Take action by directing your thoughts towards your goals, passion, joy, and abundance.

Eugenia uruguayensis és un arbre o arbust de 3 a 5 m d'altura, pertanyent a la família de les mirtàcies. És originari del sud de Brasil, nord de l'Argentina i l'Uruguai. Té la capçada densa, l'escorça amb taques i escamosa. És de fullatge persistent.

Descripció botànica
Té fulles simples, peciolades, de 5-7 cm de llarg i 1,8-3 cm d'ample, de làmina coriàcia, simètriques, amb micròfils el·líptics; amb base i àpex aguts. El marge n'és sencer; el pecíol normal i marginal, glabre, de 5-7 mm de llarg i 1-1,5 mm d'ample. Té una vena paramarginal formada per arcs de venes de segona categoria, i una vena intramarginal formada pels traus de venes de tercera categoria, amb 10 a 14 parells de venes secundàries, que emergeixen irregularment en angle agut (45°-60º), corbades (a la base decurrents i, al centre-àpex sinuoses o rectes), espaiades de manera uniforme. Té àrees intercostals ben desenvolupades, amb una vena intersecundària (simple o composta). La venación de tercera i quarta categoria és reticulada a l'atzar. Les venes de tercera categoria emergeixen irregularment en angle recteobtús, i segueixen un curs sinuós. La venación de cinquena categoria és dicotomitzada. Té arèoles moderadament desenvolupades, i orientades a l'atzar. I vènules ramificades una o dues vegades.

Distribució i hàbitat
Buenos Aires, Corrientes, Entre Ríos i Misiones; creix en muntanyes i selves marginals fins als 800 msnm. Habita també al Brasil, Paraguai i Uruguai.

Cultiu

Q: How do you iterate over ARGV and create a Thread for each value in the array in Ruby I'm trying to create a Ruby script that launches a separate thread for each of the arguments passed in ARGV, but I can't figure out how to iterate over them and pass them in the thread as constants (or thread-safe). Something like:
compile.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'compass'
require 'compass/exec'

threads = []
ARGV.each do |arg|
  threads << Thread.new { Compass::Exec::SubCommandUI.new(["compile", arg]).run! }
end
threads.each { |thr| thr.join }

The result is that it will create the expected number of threads, but each thread will run on the same arg value (the loop doesn't work as expected).
I'm trying to run it from Ant, like this:
build.xml
<java fork="true" failonerror="true" classpathref="jruby.classpath" classname="org.jruby.Main">
    <arg path="${ext.path}\compile.rb"></arg>
    <arg line="${config.rb.dirs.str}"></arg>
</java>

where "config.rb.dirs.str" contains my paths to multiple Sass projects, space separated.
I'm a newbie in Ruby, so please don't judge. Thanks!

A: Can you run following and tell us the output?
You can run it with args or use the default args that are specified in the script.
It is just two ways of passing variables (i prefer the second one). I think this is a minimal sample that does not require anything extra.
args = ARGV.size > 0 ? ARGV : ['arg1', 'arg2', 'arg3']

puts "args is #{args} and has size #{args.size}"
threads = args.map do |arg|
  Thread.new do
    sleep 1
    print "Arg is: #{arg}\n"
  end
end

threads.each(&:join)

puts "--"

threads = args.map do |arg|
  Thread.new(arg) do |value|
    sleep 1
    print "Arg is: #{value}\n"
  end
end

threads.each(&:join)

Soga no Emishi (jap. ; * 587; † 11. Juli 645) war Mitglied des Soga-Clans und ein Staatsmann der Asuka-Zeit im frühen Japan. Andere Namen sind Emishi () und Toyora no Ōomi (). Nach dem Tod seines Vaters Umako übernahm Emishi dessen Amt des Ōomi, des Staatsministers.

Vom Ende der Herrschaft der Kaiserin Suiko bis zum Ende der Herrschaft von Kaiserin Kōgyoku genoss Emishi Einfluss bei Hofe. Nach dem Tod von Kaiserin Suiki gelang es Emishi, Prinze Tamura unter Hinweis auf das Testament der Kaiserin als Kaiser Jomei auf den Thon zu bringen. Da es mit Yamashiro no Ōe no Ō einen zweiten Kandidaten gab, ermordete Emishi den Onkel, der Ōe no Ō nominiert hatte und ebnete so den Weg für seinen Favoriten. Nachdem sich Jomei ins Kloster zurückzog, unterstützte er Kaiserin Kogyoku.

Fujiwara no Kamatari und Prinz Naka no Ōe, der spätere Kaiser Tenji organisierten 645 einen Staatsstreich (Isshi-Zwischenfall), in dessen Verlauf sie den Sohn Soga no Iruka von Soga no Emishi, der zu großen Einfluss auf Kaiserin Kōgyoku erlangt hatte, erschlugen. Emishi beging am nächsten Tag Suizid.

No more store: day 23!
-Photographing these big giant strawberries + cream barks we're selling in the shop. I call them "party bark." Can you imagine how popular you'll be when you show up at a party with 11 ounces of dark chocolate + white chocolate + freeze dried strawberries? I can, because I have been that person, and it's rad.
-I made Choco o' the month ganache for 500 blueberry truffles, and honestly, it was good, but it came out a bit blurry. Like, in real life. This photo is super sharp, the ganache itself was blurry. For reals, yo.
-For lunch Maresa and I had little rice cakey fried things and broccoliy creamy soupy, and man it was good, but honestly, a bit of a gut bomb, what with the fried rice cakes and the super rich soup. Also: I don't let Maresa sit down to eat lunch. She has to stand. I'm mean like that.
-Then I stayed at work until 2 am and made croissants and pain au chocolatz, which I just learned are also called "chocolatines," and which I also just learned/remembered, should be square. These are the things that being vegan for 18 years can do to you: you forget what shape your pain au chocolats should be. I'm putting a whole album of photos of the making of them on Facebook, so go peep that tomorrow or Monday if you're interested in hot solid fat + flour action.
-For dinner I had the rest of the cream o' broc soup with an old croissant dipped into it. GUT BOMB OF THE BESTEST KIND!
I feel slightly responsible for the new found chocolatine knowledge! Honestly, I've heard both terms used equally, but my mother always said chocolatine and I find it cuter. Good god those croissants look awesome.
You are 100% responsible!!! I love my new knowledge!
Ooh, I love all the photos in these posts. I love seeing more of the shop and its details. My favorite is the photo in this post with Maresa because I can see what's next to your shop! Based on the first photos I remember seeing of the building, I always imagined your shop all by its lonesome surrounded by northeastern trees. Even though I knew that wasn't the case. But look! It's a street with stuff going on!
Actually, it's a pretty cute street. We've got a rail trail and some nice apts on one side, the country's Oldest Continually Inhabited Residential Street down the street a-ways (complete with 1700s stone houses with slave quarters, etc), a super cute and insanely popular karate studio across the street, and some offices (architect, gyno), and next to the karate is a frat house which is dumb. Next to us up the street a bit (behind M in the photo) is a shoe store. Then when you cross the street the rest of the street is really lovely, with an old-timey toy store, bakery that sux, olive oil store, ice cream store that sux, japanese restaurant i love, and the library. Sigh. I LOVE NORTH FRONT STREET!!!
Wow, that sounds lovely! When I was a kid I took ballet classes, and one of my fondest memories is of getting a mint chocolate chip meringue (they were pink!) every Wednesday after class from the bakery next to the ballet studio. If that karate studio has kids' classes, you should totally make some, I dunno, chocolate nunchuks or something to lure in the karate crowd! Or offer a free cupcake to whoever can chop a board in half with their hand.
oh YES. I am mulling over a karate choco, you know it! The owner is super sweet, he's been talking the place up a lot.

5 Mysterious Place in the Himalayas
The Himalayas are indeed full of charm with high mountains and spectacular views. On the other hand, there are various mysterious areas on the roof of the world.
The following are the ones we quoted from the Times of India.
1) Gyanganj
Also known as the City of Immortals, Gyanganj is believed to be located in a remote place in the Himalayan canyon that is not accessible to most people. Some attempts by climbers to find the exact location always lead to failure.
Buddhists, especially in Tibet and India, believe that Gyanganj is not just a place but a higher dimension. Appropriate souls can only reach their location, and those who live there will be eternal. Some spiritual leaders claim to have visited it.
2) Lake Roopkund
Located in one of the most beautiful trekking spots in the Uttarakhand region, the Roopkund Lake, at an altitude of about 5,000 meters, holds about 800 human skeletons. There is no satisfactory explanation of why there are so many people dying massively in that remote area.
Local myths call them the king and his pregnant wife, Rani Balampa, along with servants and dancers, who make a pilgrimage to the temple of the goddess Nanda Devi. But Nanda Devi felt disturbed, and a storm came, and a large rock fell, so they all died.
3) Gangkhar Puensum
Gangkhar Puensum is the highest mountain in the world that has never been climbed. Located in Bhutan, this mountain has been measured repeatedly for its height, but the figure is always said to be different.
Bhutanese believe Gangkhar Puensum is home to mystical creatures such as the yeti and also the gods. Some attempts to climb there reportedly always fail so that the mysterious aura continues to be maintained. Some people reported hearing mysterious sounds and lights and certain apparitions.
4) Tiger Nest Monastery
The Tiger Nest Monastery is located on the steep side of a cliff in the country of Bhutan. Here, there is a cave that is believed to be a place of meditation for Padmasambhawa's Master for 3 years, 3 months, 3 weeks 3 days, and 3 hours.
He is said to fly to this place from Tibet on a tiger. The place is so high even for today's size, making many people admire how people in the past built it.
5) Lake Gurudongmar
Lake Gurudongmar is located at a height, on the mountainside of Kanchengyao. Now, if you visit this lake, even in winter, it is likely that tourists will find a small part of the lake that does not freeze, also though the surroundings are ice.
Local people believe that the saints once upon a time touched the spot and kept the water liquid, never frozen. The reason is to facilitate the lives of people who live around there to avoid drought.
After a Deadly Season, Nepal Limit Climbers to the Himalayas
Not complete in 2019, the number of mountain climbers who died on the slopes of Mount Everest or the Himalayas reached 11 people. This figure is the highest. They died because they have no experience climbing Mount Himalayas.
The event invited criticism for leaving the Himalayas packed with visitors. Nine of the deaths occurred on the mountainside of the Nepal region after the government issued a record 381 climbing permits for the 2019 season.
According to BBC, Nepal may overhaul its entire strategy regarding tourism related to Mount Everest. A panel of Nepali officials and members of the mountain climbing community reportedly produced a proposal. They are trying to prevent inexperienced climbers from climbing the Himalayas.
Nepal's Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation will not allow climbing to the summit of the Himalayas until they are told they have been able to conquer the Himalayan slopes as high as 6,500 meters.
Then, they may climb again to reach the top of the Himalayas. To prevent overcrowded hiking routes and beginner climbers enliven the climb, the Nepalese government requires prospective mountain climbers to pay a fee of the US $ 35,000.
They must also submit "physical fitness certificates," and hire "experienced guides" to make their Everest peak dreams come true. At present, the cost to climb Mount Everest is the US $ 11,000.
Last June 11, owners and representatives of commercial climbing companies who guide mountaineers Everest, as well as four climbing experts, criticized the Nepalese government, for creating an environment that allowed the climbing business to go bankrupt, for commercializing the Himalayas to inexperienced adventurers.
Nepal's economy is highly dependent on tourism, which generates the US $ 300 million in revenue every year. In 2018, Nepal was one of the poorest countries in the world, with a GDP per capita of US $ 918.
Earlier, the Nepal tourism board told the Associated Press that they did not plan to limit the number of Mount Everest climbing permits. By increasing the cost of mountain climbing and strengthening the requirements for permit applicants, the country can still effectively ban naive climbers and operators from the slopes of Mount Everest.

The scissor-tailed kite or African swallow-tailed kite (Chelictinia riocourii) is a bird of prey in the monotypic genus Chelictinia in the Accipitridae family. It is widespread in the northern tropics of Africa.
The species was illustrated in 1821 for a work by Coenraad Temminck, and described in 1822 by Louis Vieillot. It had been grouped with the Elanus kites or with the larger American swallow-tailed kite; in 1843 Ren Lesson assigned it to a separate genus, Chelictinia.
The genus name Chelictinia is possibly derived from Greek or (chelidon), the swallow, with (iktinos), the kite. The specific epithet riocourii honours the Count Rioucour, Antoine Franois du Bois "first president in the Royal Court of Nancy, and possessor of a beautiful collection of birds". However, some sources refer to his son, Antoine Nicolas Franois, who was a contemporary of Vieillot.
Its plumage is mid-grey above and white below. Though lacking the black shoulder patches of Elanus on the upper surface of its wings, it does have them on the under-side. The tail is long and deeply forked, and the wings are long and pointed, with the second primary feather the longest. The legs and feet are yellow, with reticulated scales. Bill is black, with light yellow cere. Its eyes (irides) are red, and there is a small black patch above the eye, similar to that in Elanus species. It is 36 centimetres (1ft 2in) long from beak to tail-tip, of which the tail is 23 centimetres (9in).
The species inhabits the arid savannah of the Sahel region of Africa, occurring mainly in a band between 8 and 15N that stretches from Senegal on the west coast to Sudan in the east. There are also populations breeding in Ethiopia and Kenya.
It is found in many countries, including: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Ivory Coast, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Somalia, Sudan, Togo, Uganda, and is also found in Yemen.
Although primarily preying on insects and spiders, during the breeding season, it also takes lizards and rodents. It hunts on the wing, by soaring and hovering before descending to hawk the flying prey or catch it on the ground. This is a gregarious species, sleeping at communal roost at night and hunting in loose flocks. It may also nest in loose colonies. The small stick nest is placed in thick thorny bush. Usually four eggs are laid. This kite performs regular seasonal movements related to the rains.
The species is vulnerable to degradation of the habitat and pesticides. However, populations seem to be locally common in spite of decline in some parts of the range.

Survivor Shares Last Moments with Fallen Agent after Attack
BROWNSVILLE – The survivor of a cartel attack in Mexico shared his last moments with fallen hero Jaime Zapata.
Special agents Zapata and Victor Avila were together when seven members of the Zeta Cartel ambushed them near San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Zapata was killed in the shooting.
Although Avila's physical wounds have healed six years later, the wounds that pierced his heart and soul remain.
He said so much remains unanswered. But those questions are what fuels his determination to make sure Zapata is never forgotten.
"This was actually my very first time I was able to tell the facts of the case on an official's record," he said.
On Thursday, Avila finally had a chance to tell what happened on February 15, 2011 on a stretch of Highway 57 in Mexico. It was also CHANNEL 5 NEWS' first interview with him.
Avila said the time since the attack has not been easy for him or his family. He said the memory of the events of that day and the mark it left on his life is never far away.
He added the bond he and his family have formed with the Zapata's has grown tighter over the years.
But he is not happy with the way others have treated them.
"Yes, there's a lot of issues and a lot of phases to this attack. One thing is the actual attack and how it occurred," he explained. "Another phase is the decision of the Department of Homeland Security and how they failed to acknowledge the alert issued by the State Department, and ignored the order by the U.S. Ambassador not to have anyone travel on Highway 57."
Avila said they were a series of events and decisions that led him and Zapata to a deadly confrontation.
"I saw him. I saw the side of him get him. Eventually, I noticed the wound on his leg. At that point, it was chaotic," he recalled.
After the gunmen left, Avila said it would be 40 minutes before Mexican authorities arrived at the scene.
"Jaime was becoming unresponsive. He told me he was going to die. I told him he was not, that I was calling and help was on the way," he said.
But Avila said help came too late for Zapata.
We asked Avila if he had a chance to see Jaime today, what would he tell him.
"One of the reasons I think I'm a survivor and that I'm here – I have a duty not only to Jaime and the Zapata family, my family as well – is to seek the truth. To find accountability and that's what I would tell him, that I'm here to fight and seek further justice," he said.
Two Mexican nationals were found guilty on all charges on Thursday. That brings a total of seven people charged in the February 2011 shooting of two U.S. federal agents.

The latest version Rolling Sky APK 1.3.8.2 is coming to Android. Maybe one of you still remember a legendary game on mobile phones Nokia, namely Bounce. Yes, you move the ball left and right, up and down to finish each stage without making erupted because thorns. Even to this day I still remember code that must be used in order to be immune to any character. (7,8,7,8,9,8) Lol. One of the mobile game entitled Rolling Sky This reminds me of the game Bounce which is played a few years ago. You will drive a ball into a 3D dimension, and avoid any obstacles who tried to destroy you.
When played, this puzzle game is also very similar to Temple Run, but has a more modest. However, this game is quite difficult because you have to estimate the precise trajectory path so as not to hit the ball that is controlled obstacle.
Maybe you'll find this game looks easy. But in fact Rolling Sky is able to make you frustrated with map movement is fairly extreme and too fast. Sometimes you have to think one step ahead to anticipate changes in the folder that you can make the ball fall and lose.
Drag left and right to avoid obstacles and stay on the track.
Featuring a custom pumping soundtrack, colorful locations and impossible gameplay.
New Lv14:Christmas. Time to dance with Santa Claus and the Gingerbread Man!
Christmas promotion packages now on sale! Limited Christmas offer!
In those levels that previously used the original soundtrack, now you may listen to each individual BGM before you start the game. Come enjoy the fascinating music!
Optimized the unlocking of new levels when ads unavailable. Come beat more challenging levels!
Fixed lags and other bugs.
Very fun and addicting. The game is to easy. I already beat all the levels. There should be more. Also I like the idea of no check points. It makes the game more challenging and surprising.

A 'Bird that flies – the 1968 Pontiac Firebird Ram Air II
1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Ram Air II. Photos courtesy Mecum Auctions.
Arriving late to the pony car party, four-plus months behind the Chevrolet Camaro and the Mercury Cougar, Pontiac's Firebird faced the potential of an identity crisis. To ensure that the Firebird remained memorable to performance-oriented consumers, Pontiac offered five distinct versions, including the range-topping (for 1967 ½) Firebird 400, available with the optional Ram Air induction package. In 1968, Pontiac improved the performance of this package, introducing the L-67 Ram Air II as a mid-year option. Now a sought-after collectible, a 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Ram Air II with a four-owner history and less than 63,000 miles on the odometer will cross the block on November 19, at Mecum's Anaheim, California, sale.
When Pontiac rolled out the Ram Air package for the first-year Firebird, it was rated at 325 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. Astute Pontiac devotees will point out that a same-year GTO ordered with the 400-cu.in. Ram Air engine received a rating of 350 horsepower from the same engine. Was the Firebird just deliberately under-rated?
Not exactly. Thanks to a GM corporate edict that restricted weight and horsepower to a 10:1 ratio, the 3,250-pound Firebird couldn't produce more than 325 horsepower, while the 3,600-pound GTO was allowed 360. Both Ram Air 400 engines were largely the same, except that the Firebird's throttle linkage contained a tab that restricted movement, allowing the carburetor's secondaries to open no more than 90-percent. Changing the linkage, or cutting off the tab, resulted in a net gain of roughly 35 horsepower, a trick that didn't take long for buyers to learn.
For 1968, Pontiac improved the Ram Air package by revising the cylinder heads with round exhaust ports; adding new exhaust manifolds; installing a hotter cam (in four-speed cars); stiffening the valve springs; enlarging the pushrods; adding forged pistons and a stronger crankshaft; and modifying the distributor curve. Debuting in June 1968, the Ram Air II package increased rated output to 340 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. As with previous-year cars, a few minutes with a cutting wheel would result in a higher output, this time reaching 366 horsepower.
Most Firebird 400s, particularly those with the four-speed Muncie M21 transmission, were ordered with bucket seats. Savvy shoppers knew that the front bench weighed a few pounds less, so the hot setup was to order the bench with the highest-output engine. As Tom DeMauro explained in an April 2015 Hemmings Muscle Machines article, those preferring the automatic for drag racing also chose the column-mounted shifter, as it was lighter than the console version. Deleting the radio saved a further nine pounds.
The 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Ram Air II to be sold in Anaheim, VIN 223378L107568, was said to have been extensively restored (including removal of the subframe) in 2004, and has been driven a mere 600 miles since (though it isn't clear how many of these miles were added in 1/4 mile increments). The car is said to retain its original L-67 V-8, Code 96 cylinder heads and exhaust manifolds, while the Safe-T-Track differential with 3.90:1 gearing is said to be correct for the car.
Mecum isn't providing a pre-auction estimate for the Firebird, but the auction house handled the car the last time it traded hands in 2014. At that year's Indianapolis sale, the rare Ram Air II Pontiac was sold for a hammer price of $150,000 ($162,000 with buyer's fees), against a pre-auction estimate of $150,000 to $200,000. We'd expect at least a similar performance this time around.
Mecum's Anaheim sale will take place from November 17-19 at the Anaheim Convention Center. For additional information, visit Mecum.com.

Brian MacLellan goofed up
By Peter Hassett
Going in, we knew this offseason would be unpleasant. With a bunch of restricted free agents needing fresh contracts, the expansion draft for the Vegas Golden Knights, and several important outgoing free agents, a feeling of disappointment was inevitable for the Washington Capitals. We knew the 2017-18 team would not and could not measure up to the 2016-17 model. The front office knew it too, and, led by general manager Brian MacLellan, they formulated a plan to mitigate the mess.
Whatever that plan was, it did not work. The offseason has been a disaster.
We began with the expansion draft. The Caps made no trades, leaving goalie Philipp Grubauer and defenseman Nate Schmidt (both of whom are pending RFAs) exposed.
If the Capitals, like many others, including us, assumed Vegas would select Grubauer in an attempt to control the goalie market, they were wrong. Golden Knights GM George McPhee instead chose Nate Schmidt, the player he personally signed undrafted in 2013. The Caps reportedly found Vegas' asking price to select another player too high. As a result the Caps' projected defense went from this:
Orlov – Niskanen
Schmidt – Carlson
Orpik – ???
Orpik – Carlson
??? – ???
In addition to Brooks Orpik likely getting a surprise promotion back to second pair minutes at age 37, the Caps now had two defensive spots to fill – but four RFAs to re-sign first.
Except first they extended UFA TJ Oshie to an eight-year contract, which will bring him up to age 38. Oshie took a cut in annual salary (plus bonuses) for all that term, but his contract will be on the books for the better part of a decade. It puts the team's top line salary-cap value north of $22 million – or about 30 percent of the total salary cap.
That deal left the team with little spare change to sign all of their restricted free agents and staff up depth. The team pushed forward nonetheless, locking up Dmitry Orlov to a six-year deal for just over $5 million per year, a good price for a contract that will consume a few of Orlov's UFA years.
The Caps followed that moved with another smart deal: extending forward Brett Connolly for two more seasons at an affordable price. Though Connolly was scratched by head coach Barry Trotz in the playoffs, he scored 15 goals on a very good third line during the regular season.
Those two good contracts did not form a trend. On Sunday the Capitals extended Russian forward Evgeny Kuznetsov to a blockbuster eight-year deal for an average value of $7.8 million per year – a statement that the team believes Kuznetsov is a top-tier offensive talent and will remain so through the mid-2020s.
That $7.8 million is an overpay on Kuznetsov by more than a million dollars, though perhaps it was needed to keep the player in the states and to sate his countryman and captain, Alex Ovechkin. Regardless, the deal made it impossible for the team to fill out its roster under the salary cap, and that's why the other shoe dropped.
The Capitals traded forward Marcus Johansson to the New Jersey Devils for two mid-round 2018 draft picks. It was a lopsided deal for sure, a salary dump of a well-developed first rounder from a desperate team to a division competitor in exchange for two outside chances at a future full-time NHLer. Johansson's $4.6 million cap hit is a fair price, but Johansson was an important role player for Washington. He was the team's best zone-entry player, vital to their power play, and part of a very good shutdown line in the postseason. It was a bad deal for Washington, but a necessary one given their circumstance.
The Caps now have a little over $9 million left under the cap. With that sum they'll have to sign forward Andre Burakovsky (likely between $3 and 4 million) and goalie Philipp Grubauer, as well as fill the gaps on their defense, plus a new gap on the left wing. Even with the emergency release valve from the Johansson deal, the Caps will still be challenged to ice a full roster next season unless they use near-league-minimum call-ups from Hershey exclusively, such as defenseman Christian Djoos.
So that's where we are, and here's where we state the obvious: The Caps did this to themselves.
General manager Brian MacLellan is known for calling his shots. He called one early: the team would not buy out veteran defenseman Brooks Orpik and his $5.5 million contract to get $3 million in savings over the next two years. Instead, in addition to a lean roster, Orpik's vanishing role will likely have to grow next season.
An Orpik buyout would also have depleted the blue line, but to a far lesser degree than losing Nate Schmidt has – and it would have added cap flexibility in the process. That isn't to say that it was one or the other, though MacLellan clearly misjudged the goalie market and either Vegas' interest in Nate Schmidt – or his own team's evaluation of the Minnesota-born defenseman.
The team was apparently unprepared for losing Schmidt and the ripple effect it would create when combined with TJ Oshie's big deal – another failure of talent evaluation considering the unsustainable circumstances that led to Oshie's 33 goals last season and his projected diminishment – not just five years out, but as early as this fall.
Even if the team were still committed to signing Oshie, a more robust gameplan for the offseason would have had one of several contingencies in place before the draft, possibly including:
trading defenseman John Carlson, who has one year left before unrestricted free agency, is no longer critical to the team's power play, and would fetch a good price on the market;
trading forward Marcus Johansson for draft-protected players with a much higher rate of return than a no-leverage salary dump for mid-round draft picks;
exposing Johansson in the expansion draft and protecting four forwards and four defensemen instead; and/or
buying out Brooks Orpik or making an acceptable counteroffer to Vegas to convince them to select him in exchange for other assets.
Instead, MacLellan's Caps lost a young, mobile, top-four defenseman and a utility forward vital to special teams for nothing, while locking the roster construction into top heaviness for nearly ten years – or until the next ownership-forced lockout. They've overpaid for two forwards (in term for one and salary for the other) while simultaneously depleting their defensive corps. They've lost their best breakout defenseman and best neutral zone forward.
And they still haven't signed Andre Burakovsky and Philipp Grubauer. And they still haven't made a move to succeed or extend lame-duck head coach Barry Trotz. (Also: what's going to happen with goalie coach Mitch Korn?)
Up until one month ago, Brian MacLellan's tenure as general manager had been mostly flawless. Though it cost many draft picks this past year and beyond, the roster he assembled for 2016-17 was the best in the history of the franchise, and his team has won the regular-season title in consecutive seasons. But through a series of blunders, including flawed player evaluation and negotiation failures, he's put the Capitals in a dangerous spot. Once they can assemble a full roster, they'll be older, slower, less balanced, and less in control of the puck for years to come.

i'm using ne5532's for now, but may swap, put them to start with.
9 (nearly full on) is really loud.
0 (off) is stupidly loud.
I am feeding it with a line level signal.
I presume i have the pot wired wrong. but i would have thought it would be backwards, surely i should just get loud to quiet rather than louder to loud to off?
okay, so I swapped the pot round. it works now.
also the headphone amp seems to distort easily? I have several other devices ( samplers / mixers etc) that i have tried in place of this headphone amp I have built and they sound okay, so I am sure it is the headphone amp.
its got ne5532's at the moment. I can swap, but would rather not if I've done something wrong? I'd rather fry the ne5532's than the bur browns.
okay there's def a problem with that channel. that may be causing the problems.
i plugged a 1/8" to Dual XLR in and tried running my monitors via it. and only one channel works. so I will check that channel tommorow. probably one something silly.!
btw I am running this inside the same box as the source. as the monitor / headphone board doesn't work.
seems to work fine with headphones now?
I need to work out a good scheme for auditioning op-amps?
i mean, a fair way of comparison?
maybe setup a pro-tools session with various different sounds, in sequence?
what opamps are you going to try ?
at the moment, I'm not sure the console its working correctly. I think one channel is eqing slighlty different that the other, so i best fix that before changing op-amps. Its been recapped so hmmmm. Maybe one of the pots is bit weird.
I have quite a few op-amps to try I'll post a list when I'm back in the same building as them!
Could be bad resistors (shifted values). Best is to replace all with 1% tolerance parts, but this can prove time consuming. So, measure the ones in the "good" channel and compare with the "bad" then replace as needed. Use TrueRTA software or similar to make sure the spectrum is flat with the pots at center position. It'll also show you how the EQ shapes the sound.
thanks mate, I was thinking of replacing with metal films anyway. I'll give that a go.!
What make & impedance phones are you trying to drive? A 2 chip 5532 is not going to have enough output to drive 32 ohm, 300 & 600 ohm phones.
I design & make H.P. amps.
personally i didn't think it would have a problem. the original headphone amp this is replacing was ne5532.
difference between headphone splitter / headphone amp.
Reasonable ASIO compatible stereo I/O & headphone amp for laptop?


The Apsaras, in the Khmer traditional culture, are female spirits of the clouds and waters and supernatural female dancers in the Hindu mythology. These nymphs have become some of the most symbolic characters in many bas-reliefs at the temples of Angkor, representing through their dances many passages of the classic Khmer culture. You can't fully experience Cambodia without watching an Apsara dance Siem Reap show.
Wearing glittering silk tunics, sequined tops and elaborate golden headdresses, the dancers execute their movements with great deftness and deliberation; knees bent in plié, heels touching the floor first at each step, coy smiles on their faces. The restrained, feather-light dance style evokes the grandeur and elegance of the Angkor era.
In the past there were thousands of Apsara dancers at the royal court performing exclusively for the king, however only a few of them survived the ravages of the Khmer Rouge (the Cambodian Communist Party) that nearly extinguished the genre. It was not until 1995, 16 years after the fall of the Khmer Rouge, that Cambodians once again witnessed a public performance of Apsara dance, at Angkor Wat. Nowadays Cambodian children, once they will be 7, will be chosen for their aptitude, their flexibility and the elegance of their hands to receive dance training. It takes them about 6 years to learn the 1,500 intricate positions, and a further 3 to 6 years to attain the required level of artistic maturity.
After a long day visiting temples and monuments, tourists can enjoy a relaxing night witnessing an Apsara dance Siem Reap show presented by several hotels and restaurants. Along with the carefully choreographed performance, a buffet or set-menu dinner is served. Most of the time the cost includes the meal and admission fee while some venues do not charge admission for the performance but you are expected to order dinner.
