BREVARD, N.C.- Despite seniors Stephanie Lambert and Hannah Elmore tallying 20 and 17 points respectively, Brevard dropped the match in four sets to Covenant in Boshamer Gym on Saturday.
Brevard (8-4) jumped out to an early 1-0 lead by winning the first set 25-16, but Covenant (12-7) took the next three sets by scores of 25-19, 25-21, 25-16.
Covenant was able to get their offensive production from Hannah Harris (14 kills) and Schuyler Moore (five service aces).
The Tornados were led individually by the combination of Maggie Weiss (16 digs) on defense, with Lambert and Elmore (16 kills) and Josie McElroy (39 assists) on offense.
In the first set Brevard took the early 3-2 lead in the first set off a kill from Bri Vargas, and the Tornados held on to that lead for the rest of the set. The team tallied 17 kills in the first set, the most from either team in the entire match in one set.
After three lead changes and four ties in the second set, Covenant took control after a kill from Moore to make the score 14-12 after Brevard was aiming to tie the score at 13.
In the third set, the Scots held on to a lead for most of the frame, as Brevard never came within two points after Covenant took the 17-14 lead from a kill from Haley Taylor.
Covenant led nearly the entire fourth set, leading by as many as 12 points. The Scots led the kill margin in the final set 10-7.
Brevard will be back in action against Piedmont on October 10th at 6 p.m., their final home match of the season.


Happy 2nd anniversary - celebrating the JOY of achievement!
What makes YOU happy? If you can't instantly reel off a little list of things that can take the sting out of 'one of THOSE bad days' then maybe it's time to pause for thought. Life is a rollercoaster taking us from truly inspiring highs, to lows that can often stop us in our tracks. The infamous pursuit of happiness ... maybe it isn't quite as elusive as it sometimes seems to be!
One of the quickest pick-me-ups, in my opinion, is the joy of achievement and celebrating with Suze and Anniek on the WITH LOVE FOR BOOKS' second anniversary is a wonderful example of that. With busy lives outside of reading, reviewing and running this awesome website, the amount of time invested means this is a passion. And when we are engaged in something we are passionate about it makes us feel good, because it matters and it's something we care about. Of course, it's hard work but the bonus when achieving something is that it inspires a sense of pride. That 'I/we did it' moment. And Suze and Anniek keep on doing it! They have helped so many authors along the way and sent readers off to discover books they might not otherwise have seen. And in the process, they've created something of which to be very, very proud!
Having diversity in our lives is important for a whole host of reasons. Not least because it makes us more rounded individuals but also to maintain a sense of balance. Juggling work, family and 'me time' (the time we spend doing something just to please ourselves) isn't easy, I know, but it's very necessary to our well-being. Of course, there are times in our lives when work, or family - or both - must be the main focus of our attention. People get sick, or have an ongoing health issue that takes priority, or maybe we're working hard to gain a promotion at work. But it simply isn't possible (or healthy) not to have something that will let you switch off and that temporarily takes you away from your day-to-day troubles. Even care-givers, who devote their lives to looking after other people (often loved ones) need a break.
Happiness is a state of mind but being in that zone triggers a chemical reaction in our bodies that has a very beneficial effect. In the same way that living in a constantly stressed state can be very damaging to our bodies. A quick 'lift' to our spirits can be achieved by exercise, listening to music, having a weekend away ... the list is endless. I'm a writer and working on a new story is relaxation time for me. Yes, it's work, but that part of it lifts my mood and gives me a buzz. I'm able to switch off from everything going on around me for a while each day. There are other aspects of my job that cause stress, like deadlines and the editing process ... but when it comes to putting the words on the screen in front of me I've found my 'me time' indulgence.
And that brings me back to WITH LOVE FOR BOOKS. It's a huge amount of work maintaining a website, putting out new posts, liaising with contributors, taking time to read and review books and to run competitions, but you can feel the love and the passion. And that's truly INSPIRATIONAL. And hard work pays off, because the hits keep on growing as people gravitate towards a website that is fun, lively, informative and a shining example of achievement.
So, I'm raising my glass to toast this very special, second anniversary ... here's to a brilliant 2018 full of books, competitions and reviews! And if you haven't found your inspiration yet, keep looking. You'll know you've found it when you find yourself with a smile on your face and feeling you're ready to face life's next challenge. Your batteries have been recharged and that inner glow will carry you far!
One very lucky reader of With Love for Books will receive a signed paperback copy of The Secrets of Villa Rosso.
How very kind of you to honour Anniek and Suze by contributing to their anniversary with a guest post and a giveaway. Thank you.
Ah, what a truly lovely thing to say - thank you! WithLoveForBooks have been there throughout my writing journey and they have become great friends to me. I think that's very special and I know they are well-loved in the blogging community. They work so hard and the website is a credit to that! You guys are amazing and thank you so much for commenting Elizamatt!
Let's hope people remember to be kind and then it will be a wonderful 2018! Thanks so much, Bube!
Thank you, Solange - and thanks for dropping by!
This sounds great. I love romantic comedy.
Hi Judy - thanks for popping in! It's more of a mystery with a light psychic touch, really. I do write romcoms, though. In fact I write everything from uplit, chick lit to women's contemporary - I like to switch it up ha! ha! Happy 2018 to you!
I would love to visit Italy via this book!
I've been three times, John, and hope I've managed to capture the heart and soul of it!
Aww ... that's such a lovely thought! Good luck, Sue!
Well, I think we could all do with a good dose of sunshine at the moment, Ruth. We've just had a sprinkling of snow in my neck of the woods - the Welsh valleys!
Aww ... you just made my day, Angela, thank you so much! I should be finishing off book 13 today but wanted to pop in here, first. I hope 2018 is a wonderful year for you and your family!
So lovely of you to say that, Ellen! Good luck and happy 2017!
Happy 2nd anniversary ladies. Big fan of Linn.
Ah, thank you, Leila! That two years have flown by - but I've known these awesome ladies for a LOT longer! Thanks for popping in!
What a wonderful combination - one thing I have always wanted to do is play the piano! When I was very young I had a few lessons and could play a few bars of 'Moonlight Sonata'. But musicians are born and blessed, sadly it's not a skill I have! Happy 2018, Mary!
Beautiful cover, even if you hadn't read the title or the verb about the book you would have realised you were going to be transported to Italy. Can't wait to read it. Unfortunately the closest I've been to Italy is to eat at an Italian restaurant in London but that was fabulous.
I'm so excited to read this book. I love this author.
I couldn't have put it better - Suze and Anniek are an amazing team and their blog is a treasure trove for everyone who loves to read and discover new books. That said, I love cozy feel-good books so I'm certainly curious about your novel.
Really looking forward to reading this book, it sounds great!
I love that Linn focuses on the 'feelgood factor.' I love a good thriller, but sometimes you just need a great big hug of a book.
Beautiful post! I love this blog & have been introduced to many new (to me) authors because of it.
I do love secrets! - Michelle Wild.
Such a great guest post, so thankful for Suze and Anniek! I added The Secrets of Villa Rosso to my TBR, I love the idea of escaping to an Italian villa!
This sounds like a wonderful book with a great cover.
I truly enjoyed this guest post and I agree that a lot of work and passion goes into this blog. My Me-time is working on the cross-stitch Advent calendars I make - I've made 7 for my own children and so far am on the one for my 7th grandchild. They do take a long time but they all seem to like them a lot. My other passion though is reading and that really is relaxing and when my hands don't want to hold the needle anymore I turn to reading for Me-time. :-) I believe that everyone should just take a few minutes to be thankful for what they have and just feel happy in the moment.

Mandela close to medical care at home
Dec 27, 2012 at 10:00 AM Dec 27, 2012 at 10:31 AM
The doctors treating former South African leader Nelson Mandela believe he should remain in Johannesburg for now to be close to medical facilities that can provide care to the 94-year-old, the government said Thursday.
Mandela left a hospital Wednesday evening after nearly three weeks of treatment there, and was brought to his home in the Johannesburg neighborhood of Houghton. The anti-apartheid icon, also known by his clan name, Madiba, has spent more time in recent years in the rural village of Qunu in Eastern Cape province, where he grew up.
Mandela's grandson, Mandla Mandela, said he hopes "it won't be too long before he's with us back in Qunu, where he belongs," but acknowledged that the doctors' assessment is critical to any decision to travel.
"It can be a strenuous trip," the grandson said in an interview with eNCA, a South African television news channel. "We will await the feedback from the doctors as to when he will be fit and ready to come back home."
Mandela was admitted Dec. 8 to a hospital in the South African capital of Pretoria, 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Johannesburg. The ex-president was treated for a lung infection and also had a procedure to remove gallstones.
"Where Madiba goes, in which period, in which times, is a matter that is entirely dependent on his own wishes. Whatever he wishes, we will do," presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj told eNCA.
"But right now, the doctors have considered it necessary and good that he should be in Houghton so that he's close to all the facilities where we can give him high care," Maharaj said.
Maharaj noted that Mandela had been in good spirits while receiving President Jacob Zuma and other visitors while he was hospitalized.
"Madiba was doing well, but as you know, when you're recovering there are ups and downs, slight ups and downs, and the doctors are looking for a steady progress and that began to be registered over the last few days," the spokesman said.
Mandela is revered around the world as a symbol of sacrifice and reconciliation, his legacy forged in the fight against apartheid, the system of white minority rule that imprisoned him for 27 years. The Nobel laureate served one five-year term as president after South Africa's first democratic elections in 1994.
Maharaj said Mandela is able to see his family "more easily" now that he is at home, but he appealed to the public to respect the former president's privacy "to allow the best possible conditions for his full recovery."

Q: VSCode PowerShell error: The terminal process failed to launch: A native exception occurred during launch (Cannot create process, error code: 740) Suddenly I started to get the next error message when trying to open the PowerShell Terminal window in VSCode:

The terminal process failed to launch: A native exception occurred during launch (Cannot create process, error code: 740).

What is the reason for it?
(There are similar questions on SO, but with other error codes, which are not helpful)

A: Here is a similar question on GitHub. In short, the problem is in pwsh.exe →  Properties → 'Compatibility' tab → 'Run this program as an administrator' setting. In my case pwsh.exe is C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe
You can fix it in two ways:

*

*Run Visual Studio Code as Administrator (which is not always a good option)

*Uncheck this setting for pwsh.exe

Bridge toll boost seen as salve for Bay Area transportation woes
Michael Cabanatuan
1of3Bay Bridge toll booth on Wednesday, October 11, 2017, in San Francisco, Calif.Liz Hafalia / The ChronicleShow MoreShow Less
3of3Bay Bridge toll booth on Wednesday, October 11, 2017, in San Francisco, Calif.Liz Hafalia/The ChronicleShow MoreShow Less
Although Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a bill allowing Bay Area voters to raise bridge tolls, no date for an election has been set nor has the amount of the proposed increase or whether it would rise all at once or over a number of years.
What is clear, however, is that the toll increase would raise about $4.5 billion that would pay for at least three dozen transportation projects.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission will decide early in 2018 on the logistics of Regional Measure 3, which would require an overall majority vote in the nine Bay Area counties to become law. If voters go along with it, the toll increases would cover all of the Bay Area's state-owned bridges but would exclude the Golden Gate Bridge, which is independently owned and sets its own tolls.
The spending plan established by the Legislature offers something for every part of the Bay Area, with a little extra for the most populated areas, and includes highway projects as well as mass transit improvements.
It does, however, continue the Bay Area's strategy to emphasize public transportation while focusing highway improvements on traffic choke points. As has been the practice for years, no new highway construction would be funded.
Carl Guardino, head of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, which pushed for the bill, said the spending plan's strategy is to take a regional approach to making it easier to get around the Bay Area.
"In our region especially, we have become very adept at creating and passing countywide measures, yet so many of our traffic tie-ups transcend county borders," Guardino said. "This allows us to cross county borders and address some of our toughest regional traffic jams."
The spending plan includes some headline projects, including money to complete the BART extension, now under construction to Berryessa, to downtown San Jose and Santa Clara; a Caltrain extension to the Transbay Terminal; a SMART extension to Windsor and Healdsburg; and funding to complete the widening of the notorious Novato Narrows.
"It has proceeded in fits and starts for years," said John Goodwin, an MTC spokesman. "This would allow that project to at long last get knocked out."
The measure would also raise money for both BART and Muni Metro to expand their fleets of new railcars to handle their growing ridership and to expand the San Francisco Bay Ferry fleet and its routes. There's also money for buses: regional express buses and transbay buses and bus rapid transit in the East Bay.
In addition to the Narrows, the plan would fund expansion of the Bay Area express lane project, which converts carpool lanes into shared carpool-toll lanes for solo drivers who want to buy their way in. It also funds upgrades to interchanges at Interstate 680-Highway 4 in Martinez, I-680 and Highway 84 near Sunol, and Highways 101 and 92 in San Mateo.
The plan also calls for funding improvements to the North Bay's Highway 37, which often floods during heavy rains, and the Dumbarton Bridge corridor.
The bill also requires the measure to include a proposal to create a position for an inspector general whose job it would be to examine BART finances and operations. State Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Orinda, insisted on its inclusion in the measure despite BART's opposition.

PATONG: Deputy Director of Phuket Commercial Affairs, Tharadol Thongruang, has announced that the blitz on fake goods has resulted in 90% of offenders in Patong either closing down or turning to selling authentic, legitimate goods. "Now there's only less than 5% of fake goods left [in Patong], mostly fake brand-name sports shirts. "Fake watches, glasses, bags, CDs and shoes are no longer available. People who used to sell these goods are now selling handmade products from northern Thailand, from Isarn and from nearby provinces," he told the Gazette. He added that about 3% of the stores that used to sell fake goods are now closed or the owners have abandoned them because of difficulties in paying rent, which can be as much as 120,000 baht a month for an eight-square-meter space in a prime location in the resort town. K. Tharadol said that the efforts to crack down on fake goods had earned praise from dignitaries attending Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) meetings being held in Phuket. "Peru's ambassador to Thailand complimented Phuket on the lack of fake goods in Patong," he said. "Many foreigners expect to buy cheap fake products here, but they are now disappointed," he added. "However, we have distributed a leaflet in English explaining that we are serious about this matter and asking for them to cooperate by not buying illegal goods." Statistics show that from June 1 to August 18, raids to confiscate fake goods have netted 185,213 items with a retail value of nearly 46.5 million baht and have led to the arrests of 34 people.

Men are beginning to pay more attention to their hair looking for more then a clipper cut. The look for men covers all lengths (long, medium or short, close and full). Leading the way are custom contoured shapes that offer ease of styling and a stylish look. The Wet Look is making a come back. For young men using Pomade is new and making a big come back.
While mid-length and longer hair styles have become popular over the years the vast majority of men (75%) still prefer short hair styles for there ease of care.
While hair color has grown in popularity, men have rediscovered their facial hair. Growing a beard, mustache, goatee or sides burns can fill out a weak chin, cover a wide upper lip , hide a double chin, make a young man look more mature and much more.
Speaking of rocker style looks, one hairstyle that's been spotted on the runways can best be described as "disconnection" a look where hair no flow, in other words, it's practically hanging over the top with the underneath part cut short (note: not to be confused with the mushroom cut). Basically, this look features different lengths of hair, and it can go from boyish and young-looking, to a Marilyn Manson - like style.
England's own, heartthrob Sam Riley, sports a look with long fringe that makes him more captivating. Basically his entire cut is long and supports stick straight hair that can be layered without fear of stray bends.
How to get the best youthful hairstyle for Men?
The man of the hour, 18-year-old Daniel Radcliffe celebrates yet another in the sequel of the movie where his character requires this English school boy look. Hair is cut straight across the ears to break up the look of a modern, layered bowl cut.
Rupert Grant knows the way to tame an unruly mane is to grow it out. Surely, his curls have caused him some momentous cowlicks and weight from some length helps to alleviate this situation.
My favorite of all African American hair styles is the afro. I know that at this point it is somewhat dated, but the look of that big, bulbous cloud of cool ascending from the head of a young man was like nothing else. It defined hip in its day, and I would enjoy to see it making a resurgence. Although there are other African American hair styles that I like, I still simply can not see one which compares at all to the afro.


From Captain's Daughter to Army Mom: Marbled Sugar Cookies!
on a roll lately... Pun partly intended!
want to share with you David's Chocolate Cookies I discovered last February!
estate, I spent the afternoon playing with David's chocolate cookie recipe!
at work and had a disk of my sugar cookie dough I didn't want to go to waste!
So I mooshed the two together to create marbled sugar cookies!
Just in case you were wondering!
I said almost... Let's not go crazy here!
dough and these cookies as they baked!
The whole house smelled like chocolate all day!
For now, just go with me on this one!
and I in that they play well together!
however, broken cookies happen to thrill a certain master gardener I know!
Plus, I needed a taste-tester... And, what I heard was these cookies rock!
about how to turn them into a chocolate mint sandwich cookie!
These look fantastic Janet! I haven't used Guitard Chocolate how does it compare to Ghiradelli?
I'm a huge fan of David's chocolate cookie recipe! I made them for Valentine's Day and they were a huge hit! I love the idea of the marbled cookies. A must-try!
Your cookies are amazing as always!!! It's so nice to see that my recipes work, but I'm not surprised because you're such a fantastic baker!
Love Love Love working with you, brainstorming with you and "chatting" with you.
David... One word, sir... DITTO!

Heading out to Scranton, UT today. I went there a few months back and was unable to find any buildings remaining. This site says there are a few left but I dont think so anymore. The road is also a Jeep trail now. There is no way you could get a car up it like it says.
I haven't been to Scranton in quite a few years, but there wasn't much left even then. From what I read the Utah National Guard burned down one of the buildings quite a few years ago, and the ATV park in Five Mile Canyon has brought a lot of "traffic" to the area too.

A new multiroaster café company is setting up shop in Chicago with big plans to rapidly spread the model to other cities and states around the United States. This is Fairgrounds Coffee & Tea, whose inaugural 2,200-square-foot café recently opened in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood.
Behind the bar will be three essential stations for preparing a variety of specialty coffee drinks, all by hand. Equipment includes a six-headed Modbar pourover station, a three-group La Marzocco Strada, and a row of eight taps dispensing various cold draft coffees and teas, with cold brew, kombucha, sparkling macha drinks and more. There will be no batch-brewed options. The first round of roasters on offer includes Chicago natives Dark Matter Coffee and Metropolis Coffee, alongside brands from farther afield including Stumptown Coffee Roasters of Portland, Ore., Verve Coffee Roasters of Santa Cruz, Calif., and Colectivo Coffee of Milwaukee.
By the end of the year, the company plans to have Fairgrounds shops open in popular areas of Los Angeles, Houston, New York, Minneapolis and Miami, with an eventual goal of two stores apiece. Another eight stores are also slated for 2018, in cities the company preferred not to reveal just yet.
At the helm of this multi-roaster eruption is Michael Schultz, cofounder and CEO of Coffee & Tea Bar Holdings, a company that owns and operates its own hospitality arm that caters to corporate office cafes for the likes of Yelp and ConAgra. In just 18 months, it has grown to serve over 40 accounts in six different states, and provides for each a full-scale coffee bar experience, complete with high-quality coffee and skilled baristas that manually prepare drinks on the same caliber of equipment found in the sort of quality-focused cafes in the neighborhoods surrounding these offices, yet with the advantage of saving workers' time and money by offering them their fix right there, with minimal disruption to their day.
The Fairgrounds concept focuses more squarely on consumer choice. Schultz said that while he's seen plenty of one-off multiroaster cafes do well, he also sees opportunity in an absence of businesses taking that model to a nationwide scale to compete with larger chains on that level. "I hope that what we're doing is assisting in taking the industry to the next level," Schultz told Daily Coffee News.
Larger Fairgrounds stores will be equipped with full kitchens turning out fresh pastries and breakfast options in the morning, switching to sandwiches, salads and light fare the rest of the day. Smaller shops will offer packaged grab-and-go bites. The corporate campus cafes rely heavily resources provided by vendor partner Tradecraft Outfitters, as will the Fairgrounds chain as its fans out across the U.S.
The sheer variety of offerings both in roasted coffees and in equipment sales and support, always on trend and with a depth of knowledge, are aspects of Tradecraft that are key to Schultz's vision for what Fairgrounds will offer: a variety of roasters, a variety of methods, and a steady progression that educates along the way.
"The brand, in and of itself, is really a celebration of discovery and diversity and choice," said Schultz, who said that while the equipment will be the same in most locations, it could change for newer gear as technology develops.
Roasters will rotate periodically as each location offers a few local brands alongside a few national options, with flights, tastings and other educational opportunities available. An interactive wall-mounted 15-inch screen at one end of every bar will provide information about each roaster as well as origins and coffee in general.
Despite intending to open roughly 20 stores within the first few years, Schultz declined to describe the Fairgrounds five-year plan as anything more than an effort to widen the average consumer's awareness of specialty coffee and to honor the craftspeople involved by excelling at the final link of the chain.
Fairgrounds Coffee & Tea is now open at 1620 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago.


In California and North Carolina, local programs that help undocumented workers and the uninsured get care -- often without using federal funds -- are detailed.
Since Maria Alfaro and her family came to California from El Salvador eight years ago, getting sick has not been an option. … That might soon change. Alfaro last month connected with Lucy Moreno, a community health outreach worker, or promotora, who travels the countryside helping people apply for medical assistance. Moreno told Alfaro about Riverside County's medically indigent services program, which provides basic preventive and emergency care for the poor, regardless of their immigration status. Excluded from the subsidized insurance that will come if the federal health overhaul takes effect, undocumented immigrants will be eligible for limited services provided by the counties, which will remain the health care providers of last resort (Potter, 6/17).
North Carolina's Medication Assistance Program allowed uninsured patients access close to $100 million in prescription drugs last year by helping them apply to pharmaceutical companies for assistance. A $1.7 million state allocation for the program is not included in the Senate budget passed last week (Hoban, 6/18).


What wud you do if it was upto you?
okay, no sleeping, just living with them for the rest of your life.
SAVE. THE. LLAMAS. OF. THE. WORLD.
you make it sound so easy. if you really want to save the llamas, why don't you do it?
I wud choose to live with Donald trump for the rest of my life to save the world if I had to.
Atleast he's the president of the most powerful economy in the world so that makes him the most powerful man, and ofc I'll find a way to benefit from it somehow...and maybe make him an angel.
SEE? ITS NOT THAT HARD.
OK let me choose to make the game go on. If it could really save the world, I would choose to marry Donald Trump as I would be too afraid of Kim Jongun's unpredictability. Trump prefers East European ladies anyway, and who knows, maybe I could make him change his mind on a few subjects.
Would you rather descend into the crater of a volcano or climb the wall of a very tall building (both on a rope) if that would make you earn enough money for someone's life-saving surgery?
Would you rather jump on a trampoline so high that you get into space and never come back down or jump really high and one you fall down you miss the trampoline and hit the ground.
Um, definitely the first option. I'd rather get stuck in space (and who knows, maybe I'd become friends with some cool aliens or discover another galaxy far, far away) than splatter on the ground like a human egg. Afterlife-me would feel too bad for the guys who'd have to clean all that up.
Would you rather remove a wisdom tooth from a great white shark, or wrestle a hungry anaconda?

HER Biz: Matilda Murray, STAX.
If you're any kind of fitness enthusiast or activewear lover, Perth-born label STAX. will need little introduction. The brand, brought to life in 2015, has quickly become one of the most globally recognised athleisure offerings, for serious gym junkies and stylish active staples alike, not to mention having also being spotted on the likes of trendsetters Hailey Bieber, Ashley Graham and Jennifer Lopez (to name a few). Founded by Don Robertson and co-owned by Matilda Murray, the high-quality, limited editions collections are the perfect blend of fitness and fashion, while its size inclusivity is regularly praised. As part of HER BLACK BOOK's Festival of Her, a shopping event to support female-founded businesses, Murray shares some insight into the STAX. journey so far.
"I kind of 'fell' into STAX. My now husband Don, started STAX. in 2015 (80k in debt) and I started dating him shortly after. I was working corporate and was very against leaving my full-time 'safe' job to sell tights with my then boyfriend. It's so funny to look back and say that now, because I realise I fell in love with the brand pretty quickly. I spent all my spare hours (before work, after work, lunch breaks, weekends) working on STAX., and growing the brand. Being a size inclusive brand was something so important to our vision, and creating an affordable luxury that was loved and worn by all walks of life. Everybody wears activewear, so why not bring out the very best version of it!"
"I think we get caught up in comparing people's presented highlight reel to our own behind the scenes and that's a dangerous cycle. STAX. has been around since 2015, and someone recently called us an overnight success — truthfully it's taken 7 years to be an 'overnight' success. There's a lot of background work you don't see on social media so never compare. Start small; and stay in your own lane — I think the key is finding a point of difference and running with it. But also being confident enough to change your mind and pivot when things aren't going as planned."
"The main sacrifice would be saying goodbye to a 'knock-off' time. There's not really time off when you're running your own business, which can be quite the adjustment, but at the same time, I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so lucky that my passion is also my work — of course there are many times I'd love to just 'switch-off' (like recently in Paris) but the good always outweighs the bad. If there's something to be done, you get it done — regardless of the time."
"We're really proud of our inclusivity — we were one of the first activewear brands in Australia to cater for sizes XXS (4-6 Aus) to 4XL (24 -26 Aus). Inclusivity and making sure our brand caters for everybody is so important to STAX. We pride ourselves on being an affordable luxury brand that accommodates to all."
"I listen to podcasts every morning when getting ready for the day (Mindset Mentor and Diary of a CEO are my two faves. Podcasts put me in a really strong mindset for a productive day. Atomic Habits by James Clear is a book that changed my life, as well as The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday."
"This is something my husband Don taught me. Most decisions don't need to be made right there and then. Get your facts together first, be in a clear headspace and make a decision logically, not based on whatever emotion you're feeling at the time (although I am also BIG on listening to what my guts telling me too!)."
"Resilience. I think that's the number one key to success. Every single day there is a new task or a new challenge and if something doesn't go to plan I don't have the luxury of giving up or throwing a tantrum. There is always a lesson to learn and I think that's what makes the result sweeter, the lessons you've learnt along the way."

Several years ago, the Diocese of Rhode Island, acting in collaboration with the parishes of the diocese made the decision to make a concerted effort to organize and preserve the archives and history of the diocese. Because the diocese has such a long history, and there are parishes that are over three hundred years old, it seemed of paramount importance that fragile and rare documents be organized and stored where they could be accessed for research but preserved for posterity. The library at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston agreed to take the materials and make them ready for online research.
The archives at St. Paul's have revealed a trove of interesting information. Among the best finds…the parish register dating from 1721 written in the hand of the Rev. James MacSparran, longest serving rector of St. Paul's, and including the record of the baptism in 1756 of Gilbert Stuart, the pre-eminent American portrait artist of his day. The archives also present a very clear picture of the tremendous contributions made by the ladies of the parish. There have been several organizations over the years which focused on the welfare of others. At one point the women hosted seafood dinners that raised money for outreach but which also helped to pay the rector's salary.
Other ministries are also chronicled. At one point St. Paul's sponsored St. Gabriel's Chapel, a mission church in the mill village of Lafayette. In the mid 20th century, the church built its parish hall on Main St. This replaced the Guild Hall which had for many years been the center of village life with a library/reading room, coffee shop, and recreational center. The spire of St. Paul's punctuates the skyline of Wickford village, and St. Paul's archives reveal that the church itself and the ministries undertaken in its name have done much to shape the social and spiritual life of North Kingstown. God has blessed us for over 300 years.

Time for another book review. As I am sure you are all well aware the party season is well and truly upon us. But do you cower away from such social occasions or embrace, decorate and enjoy!? With this question in mind I was very grateful to receive a copy of Parties That Wow by Jonathan Fong from GMC Publications.
This book is filled with so many gorgeous ideas for a party theme that it is hard to choose, but being as our party was instead of a Halloween party I let the children decide and they wanted a Spy Party!
In truth our party took ideas from two themes detailed in the book, elements which we thought worked well together to create the look we wanted. The end result?
Our Top Secret place settings.
We couldn't leave James Bond out of the proceedings so he very kindly decorated our Pumpkin (big thanks to my husband and his rather excellant carving skills here).
A UV light reveals what was hidden on the place cards (this caused a lot of fun and giggles as everyone found their places).
Would I recommend this book? Yes I would. It's a great source of ideas and inspiration for all year round events. The author Jonathan clearly goes above and beyond for his party guests and even if you can't completely replicate all his ideas they are a great starting point.
Could it be improved in anyway? Yes I think it could. Unfortunately not all the themes have the same depth of instructions or ideas, some are perfect others a little shallow I felt. I would also suggest that some of Jonathan's ideas would be hard to reproduce, so perhaps a few alternative suggestions. I also would have liked to see some ideas for themed food, although the author does admit that he is no cook. But overall I loved the book and can't wait to plan my next event!

How many people do you know that were born and raised in Ellsworth County, but have since left for bigger cities such as Kansas City, Denver, or Chicago? When the parents of these individuals pass away, where does the family estate go? Chances are, the money in the estate that was built in Ellsworth County will now transfer to one of these larger cities, leaving the area forever. This is an example of transfer of wealth.
By 2020, $186.4 million will transfer from one generation to the next in Ellsworth County, KS.
If 5% or $9.32 million could be preserved in community foundation endowments, it would create close to $466,000 in annual grants to Ellsworth County.
By 2064, $1.2 billion will transfer from one generation to the next in Ellsworth County, KS.
The Center for Economic Development and Business Research at Wichita State University was commissioned by the Kansas Health Foundation (KHF) to estimate future intergenerational wealth transfer for each county in Kansas. A model initially created by Boston College was used to determine the value for total wealth in Kansas.
What does this mean for communities in Kansas?
This study is a very significant part of the sustainability of communities throughout Kansas. If community foundations were able to capture just five percent of the likely transfer of wealth between now and 2020, $3.9 billion would be permanently endowed. With a five percent payout rate from these endowments, $195 million would be available annually to better Kansas communities.
Why focus on a five percent transfer of wealth capture goal?
Five percent is being used across the nation because it is conservative and very achievable. It is the starting point for the future of Kansas communities and is the goal through the Keep 5 in Kansas campaign.
How accurate are the estimates and figures?
To assure a full consensus and comfort level with the resulting statistics, a review process was conducted by a technical team consisting of Kansas based economists, wealth holding experts, demographers and regional economy experts who reviewed and gave input on original data. Don Macke with the RUPRI Center for Rural Entrepreneurship provided input based on his experience with transfer of wealth in other states. Feedback from the technical team was incorporated into transfer of wealth results.
Why are community foundations involved in this effort?
Community foundations across the country have taken a leadership role in quantifying the transfer of wealth in our communities. One way we achieve our mission is to build permanent endowments which benefit local communities not only for today's needs, but for the needs of the future. By capturing part of this transfer of wealth, we hope to provide sustainability to our communities for future generations.

Audi Q5 – How it's Made
by Nicole on October 19, 2016

When I think about how a car is made I think about assembly lines and factory workers but what are the actual steps in making a car? What does that look like at a newly opened plant? And what if that plant belonged to a luxury automotive manufacturer like Audi?
The new Audi Q5 is manufactured at 180km southeast of Mexico city Audi's San José Chiapa plant is a robot lovers wet dream, where automation is king and humans make sure their robot friends are staying on track.
The plant itself if 400 hectares or 988 acres and by the end of 2016 will have created 4,200 jobs. 150,000 Q5's will be manufactured per year here in Mexico which is an attractive location because of their free trade agreements, 12 with 50 countries to be exact.
The total price tag is over 1 Billion Euros and is building up an ecosystem with local business. A supplier park has been established immediately adjacent to the park. Seven suppliers and logistics providers have started operations in the JIS park (just in sequence) which will help to manage the supply chain optimizing the manufacturing process.

The production process is divided into 7 steps: the Press Shop, Bodyshop, Paintshop, Assembly, Full Set up, Quality Assurance/Testing; & Storage. Before we look into the
The Press Shop is 28,000 sq.m with a twin servo press from Schuler which is claimed to be the largest in the Americas at 11.9 meters tall and weighing 3,000tons with a total force of 81,000kN. The press is able to handle both aluminum and steel.
The press stamps out the hood in a single blow, the hood is one of the few parts of the car that is made of a light weight aluminum. The holes are created afterwards and not pressed at the same time. To ensure quality each hood is inspected under a special light to spot any flaws or unevenness.
We are getting a behind the scenes look at what is currently the most advanced plant in the world in terms of automation. This insures a consistent and uniform product.
It is in the Bodyshop that the car really starts to take shape. The Body shop is 46,464sq.m and only consists of a single line which is made up of 670 Kuka robots. The line has an automation level of 80% making it one of the most automated lines in the world.

When checking out the body of the car, it is apparent that different metals are in use. The darker metals are tailored rolled blanks. This metal is softer and offers different structural integrity which is important to diffuse the energy from an impact: this type of shock absorption protects passengers.
The darker metal is Tailor Rolled Blank
As the Q5 pases down the production line you can see the robotic arms welding the frame together. Different types of welding occur, spot welding which deals with a single location while some locations, like the roof, need increased stability so a single continuous line is made.

Once the frame is put together it's time for a sink bath, which provides corrosion protection. The frame is measured and tested to make sure there are no impurities or flaws before moving on to the paint shop.

The paint shop is 65,000sq.m and spans 4 floors with 23 robots for the PVC line and 67 for the top coat.
Audi's Paint Shop is the most eco-friendly paintshop in the north america. Thanks to various water treatment methods and the application of new technologies there is no wastewater. Innovative processes and new machinery have significantly reduced water, gas and electricity consumption facilitating resource-efficient production.
On the Q5 six coats of paint are used: the first is a Full Zinc Coat followed by a Phosphate Coat, E-Coat, Filler, Basic Coat and finally a Clear Coat.
From here we move to assembly, robots and humans continue to work together to ensure that every vehicle is identical, the LEDs however, are always installed by hand. Next the suspension and connect with the drive train, when the frame gets added this is romantically called the wedding.

The Wedding – frame meets drive train
Our robot friends now carry on assembling the interior and since everything is measured it's not possible to have a screw have too little or too much torque.
Now it's time for the experts to step in and check each vehicle. These are high tech measuring devices, in German referred to as "Meisterbock" where they unsure that every single component in perfect. Not every vehicle goes through this level of scrutiny, but if anything is found to be amiss they get sent back to the reworking center.
Logistically, what is happening behind the scenes is a ballet someone with OCD would watch with pleasure. RFID technology is integrated throughout the production line, and at each step the chip is scanned to ensure the correct parts are being assembled. Everything from the color of the interior to which upgrades have been selected all the way down to the color of the head rest are stored. It's impossible for the car to move down the line if something is amiss. The cars are also tracked once the leave the line to figure out which parking lot they're being stored in.
The cars are then taken around the track to make sure everything's running smoothly and details like decibel levels inside the car are exactly where they should be.
That was our behind the scenes of the Audi Q5. If you want to see how it handles, Nicole Scott got to take the Q5 on a test drive in beautiful Cabo San Lucas Mexico.

For those of you interested in the topic of regular beers, it's worth having a look at what the participants came up with. Very exciting for me have have had a chance to exchange ideas with a lot of folks who know a lot about beer. I was busy paying the bills this week with a story about ice cream. I'm sure I'll find a beer-ice cream or cheese-ice cream topic to post sometime, maybe sooner than later.

Q: Mac: Dragging won't move folder -- instead creates alias I accidentally dragged an important folder into my Applications folder and now whenever I try to move it back, the system instead creates an alias and I can't move it to its previous location. i've never seen this before ... anyone have a suggestion/know whats up?

A: You can drag and hold ⌘ to force move.
It is normal to create an alias with a normal drag, if the file/folder is on another disk (that is also true if both disks are internal).
Maybe you accidentally pressed ⌘ (command), where you wanted an alias?

Today's Homeowner Stays Longer, Sells For More
2017, Blog, Real Estate
If you're someone who is currently debating whether or not it's a good time to sell your house, there are some new numbers from ATTOM Data Solutions that are worth taking a look at. The results of ATTOM's Q2 2017 U.S. Home Sales Report shows that homeowners who sold their house during the second quarter of this year saw an average price gain of $51,000 over what they bought it for. That's a 26 percent average return and the highest return since the third quarter of 2007. Daren Blomquist, ATTOM's senior vice president, says homeowners are facing a tough choice in today's market. "Potential home sellers in today's market are caught in a Catch-22," Blomquist said. "While it's the most profitable time to sell in a decade, it's also extremely difficult to find another home to purchase, which is helping to keep homeowners in their homes longer before selling." That's true. The report shows that homeowners who sold during the second quarter had owned their homes an average of 8.05 years, which is the longest homeownership tenure since the first quarter of 2000.

This is a brand new release from Sinn, and provides a novel approach to wearing a Sinn mechanical watch and an Apple Watch® on the same wrist.
Please note that this strap is designed for Apple Watch® 42.
Sinn strongly recommends that the mechanical watch feature a sapphire glass front, Tegiment hardening and magnetic field protection.
First, two shortened strap halves (each featuring a toothed buckle) are attached to each watch. These strap halves and one of the two toothed buckles are then used to fasten both watches together.
Strapped together, the watches can then be placed on the wrist and fastened securely with the other toothed buckle. Attaching the toothed buckles to both ends allows the watches to be centered on the wrist.
A separate connecting strap, which is included in the set, ensures a high level of flexibility. This allows the watches to be worn separately, if necessary.


This gentle, all level, alignment based yoga class will help you to release tension from your upper back and neck. Learn how to open your upper back gently and safely with some helpful alignment tips to stop you from bending from the most mobile part of your back, and to start to bend from the usually 'stuck' with tension area between the shoulder blades. Great to practice at any time of the day, this class will improve your energy levels and help leave you feel invigorated. You will need a rolled up tee-shirt, a bolster, foam block and eye bag.

It's been almost 4 months since we've migrated our SVN repository over to Git. TL;DR;? We haven't looked back ever since.
I can definitely say our workflow has much improved since the migration. We spend less time merging, we spend less time fussing with SCM quirks, and we are generally much more productive.
Our repository landscape is pretty simple - we have one authoritative repository from which we push and pull the master codeline. Production servers pull from that repository whenever we decide to trigger an update. Local development branches are managed by the developers on their local machines. Sharing development branches is something we don't do often, so we don't directly push and pull branches between devs. Rather, we share them via the central repo. This also allows us to pull those branches onto staging servers when necessary (since the dev machines are not generally accessible from the WAN).
So we're pretty much happy with git. Having that said, we have suffered some backlash - which has pretty much all come from TortoiseGit. Half of our devs run on Linux/Mac while the others use Windows. I won't lie, setting up and running git on windows is (still) not an optimal experience. Windows devs are generally not keen on running command line git, so they resort to TortoiseGit. And as mentioned, TortoiseGit has lots of drawbacks. The main problem is that the Tortoise workflow tries to emulate the classic SVN experience which maps very badly to the git way of things.
The worst symptom we've experienced was the infamous partial merge. It boils down to a TortoiseGit user committing a merge, but unknowingly deselecting files that are thought not to be relevant ("I didn't touch those files, so the safest way is to not commit them in the merge"). Bad, bad, BAD. In git terms this translates to "these files should not be merged, so just dump MY version on top of the existing one". Not only does this mean the you loose the existing changes, but this means that git will have no notion of these files ever changing! This always comes up with a question from another dev asking "hey, where did my changes go?" followed by "the logs don't show any changes, but my code isn't here!". This is by far the worst problems we've had and they have no solution other than educating each dev that "when doing merge commits, always commit all files, even if their not yours".
All in all, we are very happy with git - and 4 months into the migration we can definitely say it has improved our workflow and increased our productivity.

TERRELL'S TUNE-UP: Mystery Lights, Imperial Wax & REQ'D
Here's some recent hip, mod rock 'n' roll the kids are going ape and blowing their tops over.
Or maybe not the kids. But I am.
* Too Much Tension! by The Mystery Lights. It's been nearly three years since I discovered this band. For a while there I started to think the self-titled album of this wailing, psychedelia-touched, garage-fueled outfit — the first release on the influential independent soul label Daptone subsidiary, Wick Records — perhaps could be their swan song.
Fortunately, I was wrong. This new high-energy record is just as good, if not better, than the previous album. In other words, it's a real humdinger (and I like 'em like that).
For those who haven't seen the light of The Mystery Lights, singer Mike Brandon and guitarist Luis Alfonso Solano started playing together as teenagers in Salinas, California. These were kids who were hip enough to love the old Nuggets compilations — which consisted of first-wave garage-rock madness — as well as bands like The Velvet Underground and Suicide.
Somehow Brandon and Solano ended up in Brooklyn, where apparently they crossed paths with Daptone, which helped them win a wider — if not yet gigantic — audience.
There are many notable songs on Tension. After a 46-second spook-house intro by keyboardist Lily Rogers (titled "Synthtro"), the whole band comes in with "I'm So Tired (of Living in the City)," which seems to have sprung from the guitar riff of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by The Stooges. "Wish That She'd Come Back" is informed by both Del Shannon and Screamin' Jay Hawkins. And I hear distant echoes of The Talking Heads in "Someone Else Is in Control." Meanwhile, the slow, soulful minor-key track "Watching the News Gives Me the Blues" could be something the late Daptone star Charles Bradley might have taken a crack at.
I strongly advise: Go toward the Lights.
* Gastwerk Saboteurs by Imperial Wax (Saustex). After they buried the Lizard King, the surviving members of The Doors decided to go on as a trio without Jim Morrison. They released one pretty good album, Other Voices. While it was packed with fun (songs like "I'm Horny, I'm Stoned" and "Variety Is the Spice of Life"), it didn't sound much like The Doors. (I'll be nice and not mention the Morrison-less Doors' subsequent, final and forgettable album, Full Circle.)
After Mark E. Smith — founder, frontman, and frothing prophet of The Fall — died last year, surviving members of his band also decided to go on. I should clarify that guitarist Pete Greenway, bassist Dave Spurr, and drummer Keiron Melling, while they backed Smith for The Fall's final decade, are far from the only surviving members of that band, which first reared its ugly head in the late '70s and reportedly has nearly 70 former members, including a couple of Smith's ex-wives.
But unlike Morrison's old band, these guys wisely decided not to keep the old band name. They named the group Imperial Wax, a nod to the first 2008 album on which they backed Smith, Imperial Wax Solvent. And they hired a new singer, Sam Curran, who can get manic like Smith, but otherwise doesn't sound much like him.
I was prepared to be cynical about Gastwerk Saboteurs, the group's first album, but I was pleasantly surprised. In fact, I'm pretty sure that if someone had played me these songs without mentioning anything about The Fall, I would have liked them anyway — and not even thought about Smith. It's just good, aggressive, guitar-driven, punk-painted rock.
Standouts here include "Turncoat," which sounds a little like Frank Zappa's "Trouble Every Day," except with nastier guitars; "Plant the Seed," which has more than a little "Radar Love" in it; and "Rammy Taxi Illuminati," which is nearly 10 minutes long but doesn't get old.
I somehow don't think Imperial Wax will ever become as influential and important as the band that spawned them. But they sound like they're having a great time trying.
* Fall in Love on Hate Street by REQ'D (Wondertaker). This basically is a solo record by Sluggo Cawley, best known as the guitarist of the outrageous Bay Area punk band The Grannies. The two times I've seen that group, Sluggo was never singing. Both times his mouth was hidden by a gruesome-looking monster mask of some sort. (The Grannies are known for their colorful and hilarious costumes, wigs, granny gowns, etc.) But with his new band REQ'D (pronounced "wrecked"), we get to hear the monster behind the mask.
The music isn't nearly as ferocious as The Grannies'. In fact, Sluggo even strums an acoustic guitar in some songs. Several tracks feature female background singers (Mrs. Sluggo — Laurian Rhodes — is one of them). And while Grannies songs are typically funny (and frequently obscene), Sluggo bares his soul on many of these tunes. "Cancer," for instance, is about his young son who survived leukemia.
But don't think the album doesn't rock. His electric guitar on the opening song, "Blood," should dispel any such notion, especially the feedback freakout at the end. Thomas Quinn's wild sax on "Trash" reminds me of Steve Mackay's work with The Stooges. And "Car" is funky in a swampy kind of way.
Sluggo wrote all the songs here except three covers: Nick Cave's "The Ship Song"; "Don't Let the Sunshine Fool Ya," written by Texas troubadour Guy Clark; and a surprisingly good — and unironic — version of Bonnie Tyler's cheesy '70s hit "It's a Heartache," on which Sluggo shares vocals with Hilary Reed.
Here's some videos:
