To kick off the football season, Redfin presents the best NFL cities for pregaming on gameday. After all, nothing beats heading to the stadium and cheering on your favorite team in person (and phones have made tracking your fantasy football team easier than ever). We ranked NFL cities by:
The stadium's Walk Score – It's good to be close to restaurants and shops in case you have errands to run or people to see before or after the game.
Bars near the stadium – It never hurts to make a couple pit stops before entering the stadium, so we ranked stadiums based on the number of bars in the same zip code according to our Walk Score data.
Aggravated assaults in the city per 100,000 people according to the Marshall Project – Football teams have a great sense of community, but fans on losing teams don't always play nice. We rewarded places where there were fewer aggravated assaults in the city, so that a visiting fan can enjoy a fun atmosphere and safely celebrate their team's victory.
Fanbase rank according to sports analyst Mike Lewis – loyalty and dedication to a football team is a beautiful thing, so we took Mike Lewis's brilliant analysis of NFL fanbases and ranked the teams accordingly.
Redfin real estate agents played safety, weighing in on their cities' gameday experiences to ensure the list was accurate and there were no Hail Marys.
The Seattle Seahawks earned the top seed, thanks to CenturyLink Field being located in Pioneer Square, a rebounding neighborhood with plenty of wine-and-dine options. The Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints finished out the top five. Perhaps most surprisingly, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came in at number eight, due to the convenient downtown location of Raymond James Stadium and the nearby parks. Here's the full list:
1. Seattle Seahawks – CenturyLink Field
Stadium Walk Score: 83
Bars nearby: 25
Aggravated Assaults per 100,000 people: 340.36
Fanbase Rank: 13
"The streets of Seattle are filled with the 12 and we're out early and often to help gather strength and root on our team. There's a real sense of community on gameday. Many bars, restaurants and shops surround CenturyLink. You won't find a louder venue; we often cause minor earthquakes with the stadium noise!" – Collin Horn, Redfin real estate agent in Seattle
2. Denver Broncos – Sports Authority Field
Fanbase Rank: 3
"Denver should also be considered the defending Super Bowl champions of tailgating and pregaming, because we take it to the next level. You'll find plenty of food and beer in the parking lot outside the stadium, and fans arrive early to make gameday an experience. We also have amazing craft beer in the area, too!" – Jim Titus, Redfin real estate agent in Denver
3. Green Bay Packers – Lambeau Field
Aggravated Assaults per 100,000 people: 393.8
"Historic Lambeau Field is a destination every football fan should see, and our pregame experience is worthy of the legendary stadium where our beloved Packers play. You'll find people starting the festivities as early as sunrise and sticking around Green Bay long after the game has ended. Often times, so many people book hotel rooms for gameday celebrations that some have to book in Oshkosh and Appleton if they don't plan ahead!" – Ashley Lamb, Redfin real estate agent in Wisconsin
T4. Dallas Cowboys – AT&T Stadium
Bars Nearby: 2
"We do everything bigger and better in Texas, so it makes sense that the Cowboys rank so highly! There's plenty of parking around the stadium for tailgaters, and Cowboy nation extends far beyond North Texas. AT&T Stadium is the house that Jerry built to honor the Cowboys, and it becomes a second home to many of us on Sundays as we cheer on America's team!" – Chelsey Hooton, Redfin real estate agent in Dallas
T4. New Orleans Saints – Mercedes Benz Superdome
"There's a reason New Orleans has hosted the Big Game ten times, and it's because our gameday experience is second to none. The Superdome is in the heart of downtown, a short walk to many historic bars and has easy access to Bourbon St. and St. Charles Ave. No other city can offer our combination of live music, food that's grilled to perfection and expert tailgating." – Caren Morgan, Redfin real estate agent in New Orleans
6. Chicago Bears – Soldier Field
"Bears fans have a lot of pride, not just in their team, but also in their tailgating. It's not uncommon for a prime tailgating parking spot to sell for more than $500, some as much as $1,500; and that's just the spot, not to get into the game itself. When you get there, you'll see why. People do serious grilling, including ribs, wings, shrimp, the works. And you'll see flat-screen TVs, plenty of camaraderie and entertainment. Music will be blasting, there are always plenty of beers and shots. And don't forget to check out Fiesta Bob, a staple of the local tailgating scene." – Tim Zielonka, Redfin real estate agent in Chicago
7. Baltimore Ravens – M&T Bank Stadium
"Baltimore parking lots are filled with people playing flip cup, beer pong and corn hole before the game. The stadium is downtown, in walking distance to the Inner Harbor and Fed Hill, and has a lot of options for those who would rather grab a quick bite to eat and a drink in a bar setting. Just don't be late to the game!"– Chris Calabretta, Redfin real estate agent in Baltimore
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Raymond James Stadium
"Tampa Bay is often overlooked as a pregame destination, but our weather is amazing and there are fields upon fields of tailgaters surrounding the stadium on gameday. We have the highest stadium Walk Score, so there's plenty to see and do before the game. The stadium itself also provides a ton of entertainment; fans can enjoy The Talon Pub, AAA Ravens Walk and the Bud Light Party Zone."– Wendy Peterson, Redfin real estate agent in Tampa
T9. Cleveland Browns – FirstEnergy Stadium
"Most Clevelanders share an intense loyalty to our sports teams and the rituals of tailgating on Sundays. Whether you're in the Pit or the Muni lot, your tailgate neighbor will offer plenty of unique food options on gameday. Our "beer-can chicken" is a famous gameday staple and there are plenty of watering holes located around the stadium for those who want to track their fantasy teams while they gear up for the game." – Joe Rath, Redfin real estate agent in Cleveland
T9. San Francisco 49ers – Levi Stadium
"Few teams have history on their side like the 49ers, and we make sure to show our support each gameday to honor the greats like Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and Ronnie Lott. C&J's Sports bar is only five minutes from Levi's Stadium, and they have amazing drink specials on gameday. It's a can't-miss spot!"– Mark Biggins, Redfin real estate agent in San Francisco
Walk Scores were provided by WalkScore.com. Bar rank was number of bars in the zip code according to Walk Score, with the exception to Seattle where Google Maps data was used. Aggravated assault per 100,000 values were taken from "aggravated assault" category at https://www.themarshallproject.org/, with the exception of Green Bay which was taken from http://greenbay.areaconnect.com/crime1.htm. Fanbase rankings taken from https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/esma/2016/06/28/the-best-nfl-fans-2016-the-dynamic-fan-equity-methodology/. The final ranking was determined by ranking the 32 teams according each metric, and then taking the average of all those rankings to rank order the top 10 best cities for pregaming on gameday. Our real estate agents then weighed in on the list. Go Pack Go!

Florida J. Wolfe (c.1867 – May 20, 1913), also known as "Lady Flo", was an African-American socialite, cattle rancher and philanthropist in El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez.

Biography
Wolfe was born in Illinois around 1867. Wolfe may have arrived in El Paso in 1882 along with Henry O. Flipper. She was fluent in Spanish.

Wolfe was responsible for helping her common-law husband, Irish Lord Delaval James Beresford, regain his lost fortune and help build up his cattle ranches in Juarez. They met while she was working as a nurse in the American consul in Mexico. Their relationship was less of a problem in Mexico than it was in Texas. It was illegal at the time for interracial couples to marry or live together. The couple would go to El Paso to give parties and donated money to the El Paso Fire and Police departments.

In December 1906, Beresford died in a train wreck in Minnesota and Wolfe inherited his property. Beresford's family contested the will, leading to a long court battle. In 1911, she filed a suit over the title of a tract of land in El Paso. At the end of the court battles, she received $15,000 and a few hundred cattle.

Wolfe lived in El Paso at 417 South Ochoa Street in downtown El Paso towards the end of her life. She attended church regularly at the Second Baptist Church. She died in El Paso on May 20, 1913, after she contracted tuberculosis. Her real estate property was appraised at $5,150 and her personal items were worth $120.65 at the time of her death. She is buried in the Concordia Cemetery. People visiting the cemetery claim to see her moving across the grounds in a white dress.

Hey everyone! I'm back once again to blog to you all, and this week I'm blogging about how I'm wrapping up the end of the semester (year)!!! Now I know that everyone is just as excited as I am to either get back home or to at least be out of classes for a few months! (I have been ready since Spring Break, let me tell you…) I can't wait to be home so that I can work at my job back home, but also to hang out with my family, go on family vacations, and to just relax.
OMG! Am I glad the end is oh, so near. This semester has been a whirlwind (in a good way). This semester has challenged me in many ways but it's all worth it and I know it's growing me in so many areas!
I have been procrastinating a bit with finishing up my paper and getting started on my final presentation but I'll be back at it starting today with getting things done. I have a 10-page paper to complete, which is just about done, and a virtual conference presentation I have to start. I'm trying to figure out which presentation slide show tool I'd like to use, I thought I'd try PowToon but it doesn't seem to want to work properly so I'm currently searching for something else. If all else fails, I'll just use a tool called Articulate-Storyline 2.
Even though I'm taking 1 class this summer, getting a break for a few short weeks will be very comforting to my brain.
I hope everyone has had a productive week as you all have been preparing for the end of the semester with papers and projects. As a senior on campus who is getting ready for graduation, so I know it is a tough time in the semester. I am also a student athlete at Fontbonne and I work outside of school downtown at Busch Stadium. It has definitely been a stressful few weeks since we have been back from spring break because there is just so much to do. I will give you all the advice that I have been given from other some of my life mentors who I have known for a while. Even though it may be a stressful time in the school year for students, just remember to breath and smile along the way. If you remember to smile and stay positive you will make it to the finish line. Although you may be overwhelmed with all of your assignments and deadlines, but know you will make it through to May. Sometimes I feel as though things are being thrown at me all at once, but it only lasts for so long and then the semester will be over.
It's a testament to how insane grad school is that I haven't written in a long time. I've been crazy busy with assignments, papers, projects, you name it! But thankfully, Easter break was restful, and I'm hoping I'll be able to complete my third semester of grad school with a bang. Since I'm in the ISPP dietetic program, I'll get a week off and then go straight into my internship – exciting!! I can't wait! Meanwhile, my plans for that week include sleeping, sleeping, aaaaaaand probably lounging by the pool with a good book. What do you guys have going on this summer?
I hope you all had a restful Easter break and got to eat some delicious homemade food – and that the Easter Bunny visited you 😉 He came to my house and was quite generous with the chocolate and coins.
Keep moving forward and good luck with finals.

English Electric Canberra
Jet bomber supreme
That the Canberra created a huge stir on first arrival is undeniable. In September 1949, test pilot and former wartime ace Roland Beamont startled a vast crowd at the Farnborough airshow with a breathtaking display that left no-one in any doubt that here was an aircraft that defied conventional notions as to what a bomber could do. Climbing steeply, accelerating to higher speeds than any bomber of its size had gone before, pulling tight turns with its wings almost vertical to the ground, the Canberra possessed fighter-like agility. This was to be just the first of many influential demonstrations by Beamont of the Canberra's remarkable performance.
Designed by W.E.W. (Teddy) Petter as a high-speed, high-altitude medium bomber to replace the aging, piston-engined Avro Lincolns and de Havilland Mosquitos then in frontline RAF service, the Canberra was the product of the English Electric company in Preston, Lancashire. It was powered by two Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet engines installed in wing-mounted nacelles. The blue-painted prototype made its 27-minute maiden flight several months before that impressive Farnborough debut, on 13 May 1949, with Beamont – English Electric's chief test pilot – at the controls.
English Electric had built aircraft before, but almost exclusively they had been those of other companies' design – in particular, in wartime, Handley Page Hampdens and Halifaxes, both bombers. But here, in the Canberra, was a new product from its own drawing-boards. English Electric's important but relatively low-profile involvement in aircraft manufacture was the source of some confusion when word of the Canberra's existence found press attention. At least one national newspaper wrote of Britain's first "electric bomber"!
For forever afterwards, however, the name of the company best known hitherto for its domestic cookers, washing machines and water heaters was firmly established as an innovative and capable player in the aeronautical sphere.
The Canberra has the distinction of making many significant 'firsts' in aviation history. It was a Canberra that made the first-ever jet crossing of the South Atlantic in both directions, and in 1951 a Canberra flown by Beamont from the UK to the USA made the first non-stop crossing of the Atlantic Ocean without refuelling. Several speed records were set by the Canberra during the London-to-New Zealand Air Race, staged in 1953. And in 1954, a Canberra became the British aircraft to overfly the North Pole. In 1956, a Canberra was the first British aircraft to be flown with thrust augmentation from a fully-controllable rocket engine (that being the de Havilland Sprite, an engine designed to briefly augment the power of jet aircraft to either gain higher altitude rapidly or perform take-offs at increased weights).
Although speed is our subject, it should be noted that the Canberra was a formidable high-flyer that set several Absolute World Altitude Records. Indeed, it could fly at a higher altitude than any other bomber throughout the 1950s. In May 1953, a Canberra fitted with Rolls-Royce Olympus turbojets reached an altitude of 63,668 feet, then in August 1955 the Canberra raised the bar to 65,876 feet. In 1956 a Canberra reached an altitude of 70,310 feet, boosted by a Napier Double Scorpion liquid-propellant rocket motor.
At the opposite end of the altitude scale, in 1960 a modified Canberra took part in Operation Swifter in Libya – an investigation into the effects on aircraft structures of turbulence at low-altitude and high speed.
The success and adaptability of the Canberra's design was such that it was built in 27 versions which equipped 35 RAF squadrons, and it was exported to more than 15 countries including Australia, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Ethiopia, France, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Peru, Rhodesia, South Africa, Sweden, Venezuela and West Germany. There were trainer versions, versions optimised for reconnaissance and electronic warfare work, adaptations for target-towing duties, and even a conversion for ejector-seat testing.
Additionally, a derivative of the Canberra, the Martin B-57, was built in substantial numbers under licence in the USA and served in the Vietnam War, and for many years thereafter. A total of 403 B-57s were manufactured across several versions.
When the Canberra was finally retired by its original operator, the RAF, in June 2006, it was 57 years after the type's first flight. Meanwhile, to this day, three examples of the Martin B-57 variant remain in service in the USA, performing important meteorological work with NASA.
Back here in the UK, one of the actual world-altitude-record-breaking Canberras has not only survived, but may even be restored to airworthiness in due course. For more information, visit www.vulcantothesky.org/canberra-wk163

JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK May Find New Life as an Animated Movie
Posted by M. Arbeiter on June 7, 2016
Despite the volume of discussion the DC Extended Universe has so far inspired, it is still a fairly young and undeveloped entity—one that has yet to reveal overall creative game plan. Though we may get a better idea of what the franchise's future will entail once Suicide Squad hits theaters this August, it will be next year's Justice League that will serve as the true signifier of the DC Comics' cinematic identity. Meanwhile, the publisher seems to have a more concrete persona when it comes to its animated output. While we wait with bated breath to see what comes of Zack Snyder's live action Justice League, we can dole out equal anticipation for an animated film adaptation of DC's Justice League Dark.
Granted, the project has only been announced by way of an offhand mention by the British Board of Film Classification, and has yet to be properly confirmed by DC or Warner Bros. Animation. Fans will recall earlier rumblings of a big screen version of Justice League Dark—a series introduced in 2011 as part of DC Comics' New 52 movement—as handled by filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. The Crimson Peak director admitted to have dropped the project in mid-2015 after struggling with development for what seemed like an eternity, and this new (albeit clandestine) revelation that JLD will find new life as an animated movie seems like further confirmation that no such live action film will take form.
Disappointing though it may be to bid all but certain farewell to the prospect of a Justice League Dark starring your favorite Hollywood stars and up-and-comers (Ron Perlman as Frankenstein and Tessa Thompson as Zatanna Zatara, anyone?), there's a special air of confidence that attaches to DC's animated ventures. Also presently in development under this banner is The Killing Joke, which has aroused a great deal of excitement and optimism since its official announcement in July of 2015. Though we are indeed excited about everything Warner Bros has on the schedule for its live-action slate—Suicide Squad, Justice League, and perhaps most of all Wonder Woman—the inimitable voice and vantage point of DC's animated output makes it easier to look forward to such projects with vivid expectations.
As such, we're already getting optimistic for the yet-only-rumored Justice League Dark. The series diverted focus to DC's darker (no surprise there) and more occult figures, formidably supernatural private eye John Constantine, sorceress Madame Xanadu, and the aptly named phantom Deadman. The eponymous troupe accrued more than a dozen members over its four-year run, allowing the film an opportunity to bring some of DC's unsung (anti)heroes to life. In short, ample possibilities. Though it may be too early to get our hopes up just yet, well… what other choice do we have?
Which Justice League Dark characters are you most looking forward to seeing take focus in the animated film? Let us know!

Q: Disk Utility: choose disk or volume? When using disk utility to verify/repair permissions (or verify/repair the disk itself), I've never been clear whether I should perform operations on the disk ("WDC WD1200BEVE-00WZT0" in my case) or on the volume nested beneath it ("MacintoshHD"), or both. I usually do both, but is this necessary?

A: It can't hurt to repair permissions on your actual disk, but it is quite unnecessary, because "Macintosh HD" contains the actual operating system, so the stuff that you want to repair.

The paper "My Passion for Bodybuilding" is a good example of a personal statement on creative writing.
Sometimes, the unfortunate and tragic events in our lives give us insight about our true purpose. At the age of 15, I broke my knee and severely hurt my back in an accident that left me immobile and unable to complete basic physical activities. After three months, my thigh and calf muscles were drained, which led my doctor to recommend exercise as a cure for my debilitating weakness. Getting past the first step of walking and eventually running on my own, I found myself thrilled with the thought that I could develop my strength. Having been deprived of it for so long had encouraged me to value my physical power more than ever.
Realizing the value in a fit body, I finally understood the old adage that your health is your greatest wealth. As I grew stronger, I added more weight to my workout routines. Before long, I had developed a true passion for bodybuilding and the fitness industry. This undying enthusiasm led logically to Personal Training Certification and a CPR/AED Certification through the International Sports Science Association (ISSA); with that official recognition, I could keep helping others reach their fitness goals, just as I had reached mine.
Even though it might be difficult for someone to understand my passion for bodybuilding, I believe that for something to be understood, it must be experienced first-hand. Bodybuilding is not merely lifting heavy weights and having a crazy diet; rather, it is a gift and, at a fundamental level, it has made me a better person. The feeling I get from working out and pushing myself in the gym everyday is valuable not only physically, but mentally as well.
According to Arnold Schwarzenegger, you'll find, as I did, that building muscle builds you up in every part of your life. In other words, bodybuilding is not just about being strong and looking great. It also breeds discipline and focuses virtues that are essential in any practice.
If I have learned anything from my story, it is that we should appreciate the gifts we have and make the most of them. Bodybuilding is about taking our natural gifts and pushing them to the highest levels of achievement. That is why I truly love this sport.

On 20 June 2017, a ruling between Sprinter megacentros del deporte SL and Diesel SpA was made regarding similar trademarks indicating there would be a risk of consumers being misled in relation to two similar figurative marks in the form of the letter "D" in respect of identical goods. A consumer would have to examine the marks very closely, which is unlikely since the average consumer seldom has the opportunity to compare trademarks side by side.

On September 29, a jury in California awarded Columbia Sportswear more than US$3.4 million for infringement of its design patent on heat-reflective technology for clothing and outdoor gear. Columbia accused Seirus Innovative Accessories of infringing its utility and design patents for its wavy lining material, which reflects body heat, but allows for breathability and moisture-wicking. This appears to be the first jury verdict on a design patent after the Supreme Court's decision in Samsung v. Apple.

Two 1-4 Friendly Leagues on Magic Online and a 0-3 Friday Night Magic and I officially don't get this Standard and why Grixis Energy and Blue Black Midrage are considered the "top decks".
I don't get how this is The Scarab God's format. At all. I haven't activated the damn thing more than half the times I've played it.
Red's dead, baby. Or at least I don't see much of it. But I do see lots of God Pharaoh's Gift, Merkfolk, Vampires, Red Green Monsters, Black Green Control, and it feels like the people writing about Standard aren't talking about these decks. Is it just a local meta versus the pro-meta thing?
I'm playing decks that win tournaments. Are people that far ahead of me in the meta? I don't think so because I run into the same people at touraments playing basically the same decks all the time and tweaked. And I make tweaks to go against what I expect, but I just never have the answers that I need and my threats are always answered efficiently.
Merfolk used Unsummon perfectly to make my entire gameplan void tonight, and not drawing one of my three boarded in wipes meant that it was game over. Dinosaurs just ate my graveyard away and swung at me too fast to do anything.
I've read that Glint-Sleeve Siphoner is one of the best cards in the format. I don't think I activated one tonight. Sure don't remember doing it much in the leagues online. Gearhulk and Glimmer has said to be the best combo in Standard. If that's what I'm flashing back with Gearhulk I'm either way too ahead or desperate. That hardly makes it great.
The Scarab God just isn't that good. I mean, if it lives, yeah, it's going to do some work. But it never lives and some game you just can't wait to turn 7 or 9 to drop it and get value or have up Negate protection.
I don't get it. I am either playing this Standard wrong or listening to the wrong people. But I cannot wait for Dominaria to drop and make some changes.

Without need to explain, the pictures already told how heavy are PrawnKing collections.
I have been following his Tomica Blog but it was stop after October 2007, lucky he decided to resume recently.
PrawnKing quite active in KL die cast community, as over his country their communities are not as active as us.
Due to variety of die cast choices in Singapore, and Tomica is categorised for kids, that explained why not many adult collectors. Hences, those hot models like Honda Civic Type-R and JSDF can easily found.
As for me just been envy for his son for inherited his collection, which will be treasure when he grown up. Hopefully it hasn't too late for me to accumulate my collections for my son now only 8 months old.
For Tomica Collectors out there, you shouldn't have missed his blog.
Wow, wow.. a big collection and a big collector. Don't know when I can archive a collection like him. Wow... I can't take my eyes out of his collection.. so great..

The app also works fine when serving e.g. npm start.

A: It is already a reported issue in ng-packagr repo, you can copy your tsconfig configuration to ng-packagr configuration file as ng-packagr is not reading from your tsconfig but it has its specific configuration while tgzing (building).
You can check the issue in their repo thread here:

The NFTY-SW Leadership Training Institute took teen leaders from workshop to workshop, program to program, but one in particular stood out to me. Lynne Butner, our NFTY-SW Regional Director, wrote a program on the Science of Character where she utilized the Let it Ripple video by Tiffany Shlain on character building. She also provided talking points based on the Making Mensches: A Periodic Table by Rabbi Avi Orlow. This program struck a chord with me because it made me realize that before we can become established leaders for our Temple Youth Group or region, we must first prove to ourselves that we embody the character that is necessary in upholding the responsibilities of a leader.
Character is best explained in a quote by legendary college basketball coach John Wooden, "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation, because your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are." Character is what defines the human. Your character is what you have to go to bed with every night and wake up with every morning. Your character is what you hold onto even after you're six feet under. Your character is not what others perceive of you; rather it is what you perceive of yourself. Your character is yours from the day you're born until the day you die. So the million dollar question is, what are you going to do to establish your proud character? True leaders are known for developing a character that provides a certain self-pride but are also known for showing resilience from forces that are looking to poorly influence that development. What Lynne was trying to plant the seeds for in the minds of the NFTY-SW leaders is that there may be a science behind character development. She gave us the tools, but it was up to us to find what values we need to possess in order to achieve a character that we are confident in.
The Periodic Table of Making Mensches, inspired by Tiffany Shlain's Periodic Table of Character Strengths, provides a display of 43 various character strengths split up into six distinct categories: Wisdom, Courage, Honor, Justice, Moderation, and Transcendence. After discussion with my youth group, we were able to conclude that if an individual worked to achieve at least one character strength in each of those categories, then that individual would be well on their way to becoming a leader. This brings me back to my initial talking point. Prove to yourself that you can aspire to achieve these sfirot (attributes). Prove to yourself that you can be a leader before you expect others to believe it. Ordinary people leave behind a legacy highlighted by a reputation. Influential leaders leave behind a legacy highlighted by their character. There's a difference. Just ask Coach Wooden.
In my opinion, this program was perfectly timed. It was our first program of the weekend and is responsible for setting the tone for the NFTY-Southwest 2015-2016 school year. It allowed the teens to look inside themselves and realize why they belonged there. It made them realize why they had been chosen to lead and carry on the character filled legacy of NFTY-Southwest. Thinking back on the weekend, I now know why I am set out to be a leader in not just NFTY-Southwest, but for any venture I take on 10, 20, even 50 years from now. I finally learned how to become the leader of me.

These are two rather distinct questions; only one of which is relevant to a Money web site.
In general, the investment is questionable. Leaving aside the green feel-good factor, you need to look at a total cost of ownership (TCO) and payback on the asset. Neither is cheap as such. There are DIY windmill plans, but you likely still need a commercial battery charger/inverter/controller setup.
Government incentives, depending on where you live, may change the story considerably. Many jurisdictions around the globe have both incentives to install and then power-feed-in tariffs if you sell back excess power.
Your latitude also has an impact on your total available solar energy, along with regular weather patterns for both cloud cover and wind.
One of the cheapest solar projects can be hot-water. Particularly if you have a pool, or even for domestic use, if you use a lot.
All that said, given the green feel-good factor, if you want a small set of solar panels and have the space/budget, go ahead! You can add more later.
This represents the average sun-hours per day for a given area. You can see the range from 4 to 6, or 1460 hrs to about 2190 hrs of sun per year depending on location. I believe electricity also has a range of cost, but 15 cents per KWH is a good average.
So, a 1KW panel will produce as much as $328 per year of electricity in a high sun-hrs area, but only $219 in a lower sun-hrs area.
If we agree to ignore the government subsidies and look for the stable price unaffected by outside influence, an installed price of even $2500 would produce a return of 13% and a reasonable full payback over an 8 year period.
One can take the insolation numbers and cost of local power to produce a grid showing the return for a 1KW panel in $$/year. (At this point the cost of money kick in. The present value of $100/yr is far higher today than if short term rates were say, 8%) Once panels drop to where they are compelling for the higher return areas, I'd expect volume to drive continued improvements in cost and better economies of scale. Initially, the need for storage isn't there, as the infrastructure is in place to drive your meter backwards if you produce more than you use. The peek sun coincides with peek demand and the electric companies are happy to have your demand go negative during those times.
Update - the conversation with Duff led me to research 'demand charge' a bit more. You see, the utility company has to have equipment to generate the peak demand, usually occurring in the early afternoon, say 12N-2PM as the sun is brightest and AC use in particular, highest. I found that Austin energy has a PDF describing the fee for this. Simply put, the last kW of demand will cost you $14.03 in summer months and $12.65 in winter. This adds to $160/yr that a 1kW panel might save the owner. Even if one does capture the full power at peak every month, $100 is still non-trivial. This factor alone justifies $1000 worth of panel cost, and as Duff points out, the government may find it cheaper to use this method to clip peak demand than by funding bigger power generators.
To summarize, the question isn't so much "are they worth it" as "what is a xKW panel worth?" (A function of annual savings and time value of money.) The ever decreasing installed cost for a given system makes solar an inevitable part of the future power technology. I am not a green tree hugging guy, but I do like to breathe fresh air as much as anyone. I'm happy with whatever role solar plays in cutting down pollution.
I have personally known a family in the hills of Southern Oregon, US who lived off the electricity grid.
As far as being "possible" yes, but easy is a certain no. This family was very dedicated to the point of living without grid electricity. A special built home of native field stones, careful alignment with the sun, location within the valley. I would assume that making a normal home be off the electric grid is much more difficult. Not impossible, but pretty darn hard.
Although this isn't related to homes directly, as an IT professional I know that wind power tends to be cost effective to the point that many data centers (the massive buildings holding the servers that are the backbone of the internet) actually invest in their own wind turbines to slash costs since servers tend to be power hogs.
As far as going "off the grid" that ultimately depends on how much wind/sun you're getting at your residence, but if you look at places like Dallas, PA, CA, and other areas where the major hosts place centers, they're typically in areas where there's plenty of sunlight or wind.
Going back to small scale thinking however, one of my contacts actually leases a colocation building in PA where he has a few server racks, and while he currently has electric there, he also owns a couple of turbines which have been powering <60% of the demand, and he's actually planning to add solar and also feed that back to the grid at a profit.
So overall wind/solar definitely has the potential for a decent ROI, at both large and small levels, but performance will vary greatly from area to area. I know that Lowes actually started advertising about carrying solar panels, so going in and asking about the performance and if you can arrange an audit of your home might be a good place to start.
If you Google "green audits" I'm sure you can find a trillion companies "specializing" in green power, but as with any sales rep (including at Lowe's) I'd do some due-diligence so you don't get taken for a ride, and also to check references because I don't think "green audit" companies have any official certifications/standards.
Solar water heaters are definitely worth the money (if you live in sunny states like South-South-West or Hawaii, at least). In some countries (like Greece, Cyprus and Israel, to name a few) most people use hot water from the solar heaters almost exclusively. I pay $30-$40 a month to PG&E for the privilege.
Unfortunately, in the US these heaters are much more expensive than they are in the more advanced European countries, so all the savings go to drain because of the vast price difference ($300 for a gas heater vs $2000 for a solar heater).
Solar water heaters are definitely questionable in the Northeast -- the season when you most need them is also the season when they are least effective.
Solar electric isn't a huge moneymaker, but with rebates on installation and carbon-reduction credits (SRECs) -- and a group purchase discount if you can get one, either at a town level or through organizations like One Block Off The Grid -- it can definitely turn a profit. Early estimate was that my setup would pay its initial costs back in 4 years, and the panels are generally considered to be good for a decade before the cells have degraded enough that the panels should be replaced. I haven't had a negative electric bill yet, but I've gotten close, and my setup is a relatively small one (eight panels facing SSE on a 45-degree roof). Admittedly I've also been working to reduce electricity use; I don't think I have an incandescent bulb left in the house.

Q: Does Hom(X,Spec R) = Hom(R, O(X)) hold for algebraic stacks? For an affine scheme $Spec R$ and a scheme $X$ we know that $Hom(X,Spec R) = Hom(R,\Gamma(X,\mathcal{O}_X))$.
Does it still hold when we replace $X$ with an algebraic stack?
My guess is yes as $Hom(-,Spec R)$ glues like a sheaf and given an algebraic stack we can consider an atlas and the hypercovering given by it (whatever it may mean).

A: I think this is true.
Take a smooth atlas $U\to X$, and notice that sections of $\mathcal{O}_X$ (which you can see as morphisms of quasi-coherent sheaves $\mathcal{O}_X \to \mathcal{O}_X$) correspond to sections of $\mathcal{O}_U$, such that the two restrictions to $U_1:=U\times_X U$ by means of the two projections to $U$ coincide.
This is also true of morphisms out of $X$: a morphism $X\to T$ where $T$ is a scheme corresponds to a morphism $U\to T$ such that the two compositions $U_1\to U\to T$ coincide (basically because $Hom(-,Spec R)$ is a sheaf, as you said).
This reduces the question to the fact that morphisms $U\to Spec R$ such that the two compositions $U_1\to Spec R$ coincide correspond to morphisms $R\to \mathcal{O}_U(U)$ such that the two compositions $R\to \mathcal{O}_{U_1}(U_1)$ coincide.

Awesome Replicas
Blade Runner Blimp Replica
Adam Savage and fellow modelmaker Kayte Sabicer show off one of the coolest replicas we've seen in a while – an insanely detailed recreation of the blimp that hovers overhead in Blade Runner, enticing Earthlings to head for the Off-World Colonies.
Columbia Star Wars Empire Crew Parka
Columbia is making a limited-edition replica of the parkas worn by the cast and crew of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back while filming in Norway for the Hoth scenes. The parka features a waterproof shell, a thermal reflective lining and 200g of insulation. Drops 12/7/18.
2001 Discovery Spaceship Replica
2001: A Space Odyssey gave us one of the longest spaceships in the history of science fiction. Now, thanks to Japanese toymaker Kayiodo, you can own an intricate 1/10th-scale replica of the 54-foot-long model that was used in the production of Kubrick's masterpiece.
Making Daredevil's Billy Club
I Like to Make Stuff is a big fan of Daredevil, so he thought it would be cool to make a prop of The Man Without Fear's billy club/nunchucks. It took a combination of woodworking, metalworking and 3D printing, but the project turned out great.
Making a Working Arc Reactor
The Hacksmith takes on Tony Stark's lifesaving device with his latest build. This impressive arc reactor replica uses ionized plasma to achieve its electrified effect. It looks spectacular, but it's terribly loud, and there's no way we'd strap this thing to our chest.
Westworld Maze Prop Replica
The maze wasn't meant for the Man in Black, but it can be yours thanks to ThinkGeek and GameStop. Their officially-licensed replica of Westworld's iconic symbol is based on the actual prop used in the show as well as digital assets.
Forging Star Trek's Sword of Kahless
Man at Arms: Reforged's latest build is the Sword of Kahless, the legendary Klingon bat'leth from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The job turned out to be as complex as the weapon's shape, taking numerous forgings and grindings to complete.
Fallout Plasma Rifle Replica
The talented craftsmen at Chronicle Collectibles made this life-size replica of the plasma rifle from the Fallout franchise. It has a sniper barrel as well as green lights that are toggled by the trigger.
Millennium Falcon Cockpit Replica
"What each one of these buttons does, I have no idea…" Greg Dietrich, Jake Polatty, and a group of other Star Wars fans have spent over six years painstakingly designing and building a picture-perfect replica of the cockpit of the ship that did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs.
Forging Darksiders' Chaoseater
Man at Arms: Reforged really didn't want to make another large and unwieldy weapon, but they had to give the people what they want. Watch them build a life-size replica of War's sword Chaoseater from Darksiders. The skulls on the panel are bad ass.
HAL 9000 Interactive Replica
Master Replicas' upcoming Full Scale HAL 9000 replica responds to lines from 2001: A Space Odyssey with the appropriate lines. But it's also an Amazon Echo device, which means you can use it to play music, ask questions, control smart home devices and more.
Hot Toys Life-size Infinity Gauntlet
Hot Toys presents this life-size model of Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet from Avengers: Infinity War. The gauntlet is made of polystone and is nearly 27″ long. The gems are lit by LEDs, which can be left on or set to a pulsing mode. Each gauntlet is hand painted.
Making NieR: Automata's Virtuous Treaty
Man at Arms: Reforged takes on one of the large swords from the hit action game NieR: Automata. As is expected from a futuristic sword, its odd and layered handle meant a lot of CNC milling had to be done. But the guys pulled it off in the end.
Fatal Fury Terry Bogard Hat
Hey c'mon, c'mon! Represent one of the legends of fighting games with Fangamer's officially licensed replica. This adjustable and unstructured cap looks just like the one worn by Fatal Fury and King of Fighter mainstay Terry Bogard.
Making Shovel Knight's Shovel Blade
For shovelry! Man at Arms: Reforged takes on the signature weapon from the amazing retro platformer Shovel Knight. They took some liberties with its design to ensure that they came up with a shovel that's both cartoonish and lethal.
Adam Savage's Blade Runner Binoculars
Watch Adam Savage make a replica of Deckard's binoculars from Blade Runner 2049. He started with a 3D model made by fellow maker Jon-a-Tron, which he modified to make it more faithful to the movie prop.
Making Warframe's Hate Scythe
Making weapons in Warframe is time-consuming. But that's nothing compared to what Man at Arms: Reforged had to go through to make a replica of Hate, one of the scythes in the game. But they still managed to copy the weapon's unconventional shape and details.
Forging Blade's Sword
This replica of Blade's sword proved to be one of Man at Arms: Reforged's toughest builds yet. It was their first time to make a sword blade entirely out of titanium, which isn't as hard as steel but resists grinding like the vampire hunter resists sunlight.
NECA Casey Jones Replica Mask
"The class is Pain 101. Your instructor is Casey Jones." NECA is releasing a life-size replica of the mask used by actor Elias Koteas when he played Casey Jones in the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. It's made of ABS plastic and has adjustable straps.
3D Printed Destiny Ghost Replicas
"You'd be surprised how little I understand what you're thinking." Etsy shop 3DDuplicator makes 3D printed replicas of the Ghosts from Destiny. There are a variety of shells available, including a Pokémon-themed one. The replicas each have a semi-poseable and backlit eye.
Making a Jumanji Board
"Do not begin unless you intend to finish." Prop maker and restorer Steven Richter made a screen-accurate replica of the Jumanji board game. Skip to 14:38 for the finished build. You can buy the game pieces and cover casting on his Etsy shop.
PlastCraft Fallout 4 Gauss Rifle
Etsy store PlastCraft makes video game-inspired collectibles and props. Its pièce de résistance at the moment is this badass gauss rifle replica inspired by Fallout 4's weaponry. It's filled with blue LEDs and has nixie tubes that indicate the battery's charge.
Apollo Penlight
The FA-5 penlight was made exclusively for astronauts in the Apollo and shuttle missions. It proved particularly useful in the infamous Apollo 13. Barbolight's replica retains the flashlight's brass alloy construction but adds LEDs and water resistance up to 300ft.
DIY Rocketeer Jetpack
Prop maker David Guyton shares his favorite build yet: a steel replica of the Cirrus X-3 jetpack from The Rocketeer. It's definitely not for beginners and takes a lot of time to build, but if you're up to it keep an eye on his store for the free template.
Making Roadhog's Chain Hook
Oh goodie. Man at Arms: Reforged makes another weapon from Blizzard's hit FPS Overwatch. Their replica of Roadhog's signature weapon may be relatively simple, but they still painstakingly forged, shaped and sanded the hook instead of fabricating most of it.
Star Wars Rey's Rebel Helmet Replica

Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut independent who caucuses with Democrats, denounced a MoveOn.org ad in Monday's New York Times questioning the credibility of Army Gen. David Petraeus, calling on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to distance themselves from the attack as well.
"The personal attack on Gen. David Petraeus launched today by MoveOn.org is an outrageous and despicable act of slander that every member of the Congress — Democrat and Republican — has a solemn responsibility to condemn," Lieberman said in the statement.
Oh, that's rich. Joe Lieberman, who hasn't displayed a single shred of loyalty to the Democratic caucus and has undermined and voted against them at every turn, is now invoking his status as a "member of the Senate Democratic caucus" to tell the Democratic leadership what to do. What a sanctimonious, hypocritical toad.
Not entirely sure what this is. Something about a peanut vendor, apparently.

King Hezekiah received a letter from Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, threatening the total destruction of Judah if Hezekiah did not unconditionally surrender. Many of us have also received letters, faxes, e-mail, text messages, or memos containing devastating news. Some have received letters from attorneys in which their spouses have announced that they are suing for divorce. Many have received forms from their doctors in which the serious risks from operations and therapy are listed. Others have received "Dear John letters," notices that they have been fired from their jobs, "hate mail" from family members, indictments, subpoenas, threats, or bills. Sometimes the mail is so bad that it's a relief to receive junk mail.
When you get your "poison-pen letters," do what King Hezekiah did. Take your letters "to the temple of the Lord" (2 Kgs 19:14), that is, to church. Let the eucharistic Jesus "open your mail." Don't become unforgiving and bitter. Don't be depressed or fall into despair. Don't take vengeance or give in to fear. Spread your letter and your life out before the Lord. "Cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you" (1 Pt 5:7). Pray in the Lord's presence (2 Kgs 19:15). Let the Lord answer your mail. Accept Him as the Lord of your letters and your life.
PRAISE: Robert continues to pray for his ex-wife years after their divorce.


KARACHI: Pakistan Steel Melters Association (PSMA) has rejected duty and tax concession / exemption granted by the government to China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited, a statement said on Wednesday.
This taxes and duty exemption to Chinese company will cost national exchequer approximately Rs11 billion, it added.
The association said through SRO 47(I) 2018, China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited, which is working on Motorway Sukkur to Multan section, has been allowed duty-free import of construction materials and machinery in Pakistan.
To record it reservations at the highest level, Pakistan Steel Melters Association has drawn attention of Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi towards the issue through a letter, requesting him to withdraw the disputed exemptions allowed to a foreign company on the expenses of local steel sector, the statement said.
In 2017, Pakistan Steel Melting Industry was coined as the fastest growing steel industry in the world, as per LSM (Large-Scale-Manufacturing) data published by the SBP (State Bank of Pakistan), noting that billet/ingot production has grown 62 percent 4MFY18 year-on-year.
Tremendous jobs are at stake, if the government gives anti-localisation incentives to special companies, Agha added.
Steel industry generates the largest revenue among the growing sectors of Pakistan and also aims at fulfilling the upcoming demand of CPEC through providing high grade manufactured steel.
New steel projects expected to come online within the next 12 months will save the national exchequer billions of dollars by import substitution, he said.
Pakistan Steel Melters Association strongly objects any policies that could hamper growth in Pakistan and SRO 47(I) 2018 will dampen future investments alongside with already gifting Rs11 billion loss to the government in revenue collection.


Paying Yourself as a Business Owner: Salaries or Dividends?
There is a basic concept in our tax system—by the time a dollar of corporate income earned lands in a shareholder's jeans, the same rate of tax has been paid no matter how that income is paid out from the company.
This concept is called 'integration' and it is great in theory. However, it is imperfect.
Currently there is a tax advantage, starting at $100,000-$120,000 of income, to pay a salary over a dividend. This was much different a few years ago before the 2016 Federal Liberal government and 2016 Alberta NDP government started raising corporate and personal taxes. A few years ago it was more tax efficient to pay a dividend. As you can see, 'integration' is a flawed concept.
Taxes are withheld and paid to the CRA throughout the year, meaning that less tax and/or instalments are payable by the shareholder personally in April of the following year, generally making their tax burden easier to deal with.
Salaries build RRSP room, allowing you to contribute to an RRSP. Dividends do not.
Salaries require the payment of CPP by the company and employee, meaning that you will receive a government pension when you retire. Some may not view this as an advantage, but we generally do.
It is currently more tax efficient to pay salaries than dividends.
Payment by salary provides access to certain deductions, such as for childcare expenses.
It's an easier-to-manage process. You just take cash out of your company, call it a dividend, and there is no requirement for the company to withhold or remit tax on these payments.
Dividends do not count as 'earned income' for certain programs, such as maternity leave. It is possible for a mother to receive dividend income without jeopardizing her access to these programs in many cases.
Talk to your accountant about what to do this year to help minimize taxes. Depending on the tax rate of the tax bracket you fall into, you may be better off choosing one or the other.

Smacks Miranthridel for listening to Linklin Park!
I'm listening to my latest dance score for refining my piece ready for performance.
Currently something classical that the teacher in charge of the Student Achievement Center thinks inhances our intellegence.
A mosh pit? A mosh pit at a Linking Park concert consists of 12-year-olds, most of whom are deaf. Some others seem to think this band is something more than a fad which is past its prime.
I like a few Linkin Park songs. Think they're trash for the most part, though.
Linkin Park is most definitely not worthy of mosh pits, however.
CloudStrife, you need to get out more mate!
That way, no more embarassing mosh incidents.

Moshing at Rammstein, now that is appropriate.
Cloudstrife, in all things there must be balance.
For as long as LP is misrepresented as a musical style and adored by pre-adolescent to tweens, I shall not hate them for hate is not the opposite of love. Apathy, complete disinterest is, and that is what I feel towards the ridiculous self important stylings of LP.
It's how I balance the cosmos.

Q: Scala 3: Deriving a typeclass for conversion between a case class and a tuple type I am aware that in Scala 3 it is now possible to convert between case class instances and tuples using Tuple.fromProductTyped and summon[Mirror.Of].fromProduct.
I would like to be able to define a typeclass that witnesses that a case class T can be converted to and from (A, B) using the aforementioned methods.
I've defined the typeclass like so:
trait IsPair[T, A, B]:
  def toTuple(t: T): (A, B)
  def fromTuple(ab: (A, B)): T

How can we derive IsPair for any conforming case class?
With the derivation in place, the following should compile and run without error:
case class Foo(a: Int, b: String)
val fooIsPair = summon[IsPair[Foo, Int, String]]

val foo = Foo(42, "qwerty")
val tuple = (42, "qwerty")

assert(fooIsPair.toTuple(foo) == tuple)
assert(fooIsPair.fromTuple(tuple) == foo)

A: You can just use a Mirror but restrict it to be for pair-like case classes:
import scala.deriving.Mirror

sealed trait IsPair[T]:
  type A
  type B

  def toTuple(t: T): (A, B)
  def fromTuple(ab: (A, B)): T

object IsPair:
  type Aux[T, X, Y] = IsPair[T] { type A = X; type B = Y }

  inline def apply[T](using ev: IsPair[T]): ev.type = ev

  given instance[T <: Product, X, Y](using
    ev: Mirror.Product { type MirroredType = T; type MirroredMonoType = T; type MirroredElemTypes = (X, Y) }
  ): IsPair[T] with
    override final type A = X
    override final type B = Y

    override def toTuple(t: T): (X, Y) =
      Tuple.fromProductTyped(t)
    override def fromTuple(xy: (X, Y)): T =
      ev.fromProduct(xy)
end IsPair

That way we can do this:
val foo = Foo(42, "qwerty")
val tuple = (42, "qwerty")

val fooIsPair = IsPair[Foo]

assert(fooIsPair.toTuple(foo) == tuple)
assert(fooIsPair.fromTuple(tuple) == foo)

You can see the code running here.

Houston A Top 5 Jobs City
Texas still beats California in jobs with Houston in America's Top 5

Houston ranks No. 5 among "The Best Big Cities for Jobs 2013."

Forbes recently ran the employment numbers and found, unsurprisingly, that Texas is home to some of the best cities for jobs in 2013.
"Some East Coast boosters of the Golden State are making [the claim that California is pulling ahead of Texas], but we don't see it in this year's numbers," says columnists Joel Kotkin and Mike Shires, who looked at the short, medium and long-term employment performance of 398 metropolitan statistical areas for the ranking.
"Besides the tech-rich Bay Area, home to two of our top 10 large metro areas, there are no other major California cities near the top . . . In contrast, the Texas juggernaut rolls on. Growth there has not only been steady, it's been widely spread across the state."
Five of the Lone Star State's major metro areas rank among "The Best Big Cities for Jobs 2013": Fort Worth-Arlington takes No. 4 on the list, trailed by Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, which saw 2 percent employment growth in 2012, at No. 5.
With 3.5 percent employment growth in 2012, Dallas-Plano-Irving is No. 6 in the ranking for the second year in a row, while Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos places No. 10 and San Antonio ranks No. 12.
Smaller metro areas are also gaining economic traction: Midland and Odessa rank No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, among small cities with less than 150,000 jobs, followed by San Angelo at No. 5, and Corpus Christi ranks No. 4 among mid-sized cities.
Forbes credits the "unconventional oil and gas boom" for much of Texas' success, but also notes strong growth in technology, manufacturing and business services.
San Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City ranks No. 1 on the 2013 list, and Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin comes in at No. 2, followed by Salt Lake City.
Displeased to serve you
Globally famous diner dishing out "world's rudest service" headed to Texas...like, whenever
Karen's Diner/Facebook
A great diner with horrible service may soon be worth a roadie to Austin.
Imagine you're at a restaurant and the server rolls her eyes because you don't like ice in your water. What a pansy you are. First, you order a chocolate milkshake, but on second thought, you'd like vanilla. You apologetically ask her to change it on the ticket and she threatens to spit in it. On your way out, you tip her 20 percent and leave a review: "5 stars. Rudest service I've ever had."
Karen's Diner provides the worst service for the best experience, at least according to cheeky clientele who appreciate the campy comedy of a long-suffering server who just can't smile through it anymore. The Australian restaurant concept exploded in popularity in the last few months, largely from viral videos of funny quips and embarrassed customers (who are usually in on the gag).
Part subversion of the sweet neighborhood waitress trope and part revenge fantasy for off-duty service industry people who find relief in watching other servers speak their minds, this is an exercise in improv comedy wrapped up in a classic diner meal. There are now 14 locations in the United States according to the restaurant's locations page, including one that has quietly popped up online in Austin.
There is very little information about this location in particular, but there is an active listing on Hidden, which allows users to sign up for a waitlist and eventually gives access to the restaurant's secret location. As of January 24, Hidden told CultureMap via email that it does not know the opening date.
Although the diner could rest on the laurels of its terrible attitude, reviewers seem to agree, the food is also good. The menu lists 14 burgers, including some traditional cheeseburgers, luxe twists, chicken burgers, and a few meatless options, in addition to other diner snacks like wings, floats, and fries. Prices may give visitors something to complain about (the burgers range from $16-28), but the price keeps the most creative instigators on staff.
Kids under 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for lunch, while dinner's raunchiness raises the accompanied age to 16. In general, the chain encourages minors to attend earlier in the day. Any actual Karens may show their ID for a free drink.
More information about Karen's Diner can be found at bemorekaren.com. Check Hidden for changes, or sign up for the ticket release waitlist.

Home Culture & Art The Sickness is a metaphor coming alive on stage!
The Sickness is a metaphor coming alive on stage!
Tsipi Inberg Ben-Haim
By Tsipi Inberg Ben-Haim
"You're not going to have an enjoyable time" Announced the voice in the dark prior to revealing a very undressed stage.
A portable old fashioned graffitied bathtub in the middle of a messy Grey floor. On the other side a toilet ball with its cover thrown on the floor nearby.
As the backdrop, a dirty yellowing plastic curtain, hanging from the ceiling to the floor. A small cut in the plastic, like a window opening, reveals ahead of carelessly laughing man…
As we're trying to get used to this artful but pitiful environment on stage, we notice a man lying on the floor trembling with fever? Or maybe as a result of drug abuse? He's covered with an old falling apart blanket that soon enough falls off his dirty looking face, painfully staring eyes as he's mumbling something and crawling on the floor in his white underwear and a white undershirt.
In no time we see another person enter the stage, a young woman. As she undresses to her underwear she too makes us see the unstable state of mind she's in.
Her story of rape and being mistreated by the police as they arrested her and the dealer, for drugs, is enough to get the audience to feel the pain and understand the heavy problem they both are in. The music adding gently to this fragile situation helping to imagine what's about to happen.
Yet, no one in the audience moves. No one leaves. in spite of the fact that we know the depression on stage will start rubbing off on all of us.
There is something mesmerizing in these two painful, powerless, young, yet intelligent and knowledgeable characters on stage. Wasting their lives on shooting heroin. Thinking about stopping and starting again… but can't get out of this vicious cycle. They give it there all and making you believe they're indeed the heroin addicts. The symptoms of what is going on all around us. The actors; Mia Vallet, Ryan Cupello and Mark Lobene playing artists in the early days of the Lower east side and SoHo artistic life, are giving an unforgettable performance; and will continue to do so through February 29th. at the Access Theater, downtown New York City.
The Polish-born writer & director of this play -Emil Varda, was inspired by his mentor Glenn O'Brien.
In Mr. Varda's own words "My hope is that the play will show something of the pauperization of our society, it's degradation and Sickness.

1. Runner interference. The runner has to avoid contact with the fielder. The runner does not have the right away to the base line. If he makes contact with a fielder trying to make a play the runner is out and all other base runners need to go back to their bases.
2. If a base runner touches or passes the base runner in front of them the back base runner is called out. The play is dead and all other runners must go back to their base.
3. Home plate is in fair territory. If the ball hits the plate and goes fair it's a fair ball.
4. Don't call a ball foul until it's foul. It needs to cross 1st or 3rd base in foul territory or be touched in foul territory to be ruled foul. Please see the attached video below to see that anything can happen.
5. Announce all starting times in pool play to both coaches after the first pitch. Get confirmation from the dugouts that they agree. Also announce to the coaches when the game hits 1 hour and 30 minutes.
6. All games are a coin flip. It doesn't matter if it's in the championship round or pool play. Pool play seeds don't determine home team.
Thanks guys for the great job. Always remember that Greg or an association member is just a phone call away if needed.

The 'Hanffaser Uckermark e.V.' (Hemp-fiber Uckermark, registered association) processes renewable resources and and produces building materials from Hemp. Building with hemp combines centuries of tradition with modern working and living, and eliminates the need of diffusion barriers (made of plastics) in construction.
Combustible materials differ in how fast they catch fire or how long it takes to start burning. Another distinctive feature is the contribution they make to a fire. The German DIN standards defines three 'fire protection classes' - B1, B2 and B3.
Building materials of this class must not continue to burn independently after ignition by some heat source. Such controlled building materials are listed in DIN 4102-4, and include (among others): gypsum boards with perforated surfaces, wood-wool lightweight boards (HWL boards), synthetic resin plasters and thermal insulation systems. Building materials not listed are classified as 'class B1' if they pass a specific fire shaft test (Brandschachtprüfung) according to DIN 4102-1.
Fire protection classes are established by independent expert evaluation, in accordance with European Standards or national technical standards.
Our products received a 'European Technical Approval' certificate, which includes fire protection classification.
These certificates were issued by the European Organization for Technical Approvals (EOTA), the respective test have been conducted by the Österreichisches Institut für Bautechnik (OIB) ('Austrian Institute for Construction Technologies') in Vienna.
Our hemp-based insulation wool HDW (ETZ 0016/01) received an additional independent evaluation from the technical University Graz. The certificates linked below attest the fire protection classification C-s2 d0 / C-s3 d0 / E (limited contribution to fire), depending on the thickness of the insulation layer. This corresponds to the DIN 4102-1 classification B1 described above (flame-retardant building materials).


A common first step in repurposing is to screen libraries of already approved compounds — such as the NCATS Pharmaceutical Collection — against a disease-specific biological assay (i.e., one that tests for cell-killing). From such screens, researchers can select a subset of bioactive compounds for further interrogation in secondary and tertiary assays evaluating relevant aspects of disease biology and molecular pathophysiology.
NCATS offers various resources to support repurposing efforts across both common and rare diseases. Additionally, the Center's scientists conduct research in high-throughput assay development and screening, informatics and modeling, and analytical and medicinal chemistry to improve the repurposing process.


The barrier pillar is a basic side protection system component. This product conforms to strength requirements for class A according to standard PN-EN 13374, and hence it corresponds to safety requirements for protective barriers.
The pillar has an automatic safety component, which locks it in the grip and prevents it from accidentally slipping away from the mounting grip. It is also equipped with hooks for mounting safety hand rails of planks with cross section dimensions of 32 x 150 mm, as well as mobile protection measures against accidental removal of planks upwards.
The hook width is adapted to an overlay joint of two planks with a width of 32 mm each. The pillar structure also allows the installation of safety nets.
The type 500 screw-in grip allows the installation of the barrier pillar at a height of 500 mm above the horizontal work surface. This component is screwed onto four anchors embedded earlier, i. e. the Hilti HSC M12x60 or others with similar or better resistance characteristics. It is screwed in place with a s = 19 mm wrench with a torque of 35 Nm. The grip is equipped with an eye to guide the safety rope. Its durable zinc coat allows long years of use as an edge protection system component.
The synthetic material cap protects the inside of the sleeve mounting the barrier pillar against adverse influence of atmospheric conditions outside of periods, when the grip is in use. The cap is available upon request.
quick and easy installation with the use of a standard anchor.
The seat is foreseen for installation of different components on surfaces through welding or by screw connections. It allows embedding of a side grip at a distance of 270 mm from the outside wall surface. A durable galvanic coat (applied by hot-dip galvanising) ensures long years of use.

quick and easy installation with the use of the grip seat.
thanks to side mounting of the barrier pillars, the safety devices do not hinder works carried out on the horizontal surface of the room or the flight of stairs, and allow safe execution of works up until the moment if installation of target barriers.
The ø 16 mm polyamide rope is equipped with a tensioning mechanism and steel coupling components. The rope is foreseen for a single worker. The component complies with requirements of standard PN-EN 795, is CE-certified for safety. Rope lengths: 10 m, 20 m and 30 m.
For safe use of Secumax Individual anchor points, the use of safety suspensions, ropes and joining components (carabiners, thimbles, shackles) is necessary. All named components must have the CE safety certification.
