It's hard to believe that Scott and I haven't had a real vacation in years. Like, several years.
Living away from both of our families means that we usually use our vacation time to visit home in both Florida and Arkansas/Missouri. There was a time where Scott and I would travel outside of those trips several times a year together (and we visited some amazing places!), but they were all work trips for both of us or for Scott that I was fortunate to tag along on.
Ever since we moved to New York, we vowed that we would take time away from our busy lives to explore New England while we live here. We were supposed to take a weekend away in the mountains for a babymoon before Skyler was born last March, but that never happened. That said, a few days out of the city and at a slower pace where we could relax, explore, and soak in quality family time in a new environment together was long overdue!
I know that Skyler is too young to really know what's going on, and I am well aware that he won't remember this trip whatsoever, but I'm looking forward to the day that I can revisit these photos and tell him all about it. We are far from experts on what to do around the city, but we did stumble upon a good amount of things to do and I'm excited to share them with you!
Scott has always said that he wants to check out Vermont, and I got the idea of staying in Manchester from my friend Ashley. Her family has a cottage up there and she frequents the area enough to help us plan out a very loose itinerary.
I originally looked at different Airbnb options, but I kept coming across a charming resort that had everything we needed and more. Fireplaces? Saunas? An indoor heated pool? On-site bars and restaurants? Yes, please.
The Equinox is a Luxury Golf & Spa Resort in the heart of Manchester. After searching around online, I found a great deal for a standard room through Expedia.
The drive is around four hours, but we made a few stops on the way up including lunch at The Cabin Restaurant in White Plains, New York. Even just being an hour or so north of our apartment and in more of a suburban area felt so good, and I recommend this little spot to anyone looking for a casual and cabin-y meal out!
We didn't hit too much traffic after that, and we pulled up to our hotel right before dinner time on Saturday night. We were excited to get settled into our room and check out the restaurant inside, but we ran into a little setback.
While looking at rates online, I found a great deal and also applied an online coupon which made our stay extremely affordable. What I didn't realize, however, is that there is a third party company that rents out townhomes on the Equinox Resort property called The Inns at The Equinox (their sister property).
I was okay with staying outside of the main building, but the standard room that we originally checked into looked nothing like the advertised photos online (i.e. the suites).
Feeling very underwhelmed and annoyed, I very walked over to the front desk and politely asked if there was anything they could do for us, considering the whole reason we booked the trip was to get out of a small space and breathe in some fresh Vermont air.
I showed him the picture that was advertised on our reservation and the staff completely understood. Without hesitation, he upgraded us into the suite that I thought I was booking and gave us a round of drinks at the hotel bar on the house. I really appreciated that level of customer service!
We bundled up and sipped on wine while we waited to move into our new room. It finally felt like we could relax, and we were enjoying the cozy and welcoming atmosphere of the hotel.
Since dinner was going to be a 45+ minute wait and we were already running later than Skyler's normal bedtime, we decided to go off-site for a quick dinner out. After passing a few options that closed earlier than the times listed online, we found Thai Basil in a cute downtown area. Coming from Brooklyn, it was very different to have almost everything around closed at 8:30 p.m., so we were grateful for this option and loved our dinner.
The best part of the trip for me was waking up to views like this, all together, sans alarms.
We spent both mornings lounging in pajamas for a bit before getting dressed for the day, and our little townhouse felt like just the breath of fresh air that we were hoping for.
Just wanting to see where the days took us, we didn't set any plans for Saturday or Sunday. After breakfast, we changed to venture out to a cider mill/orchard that ended up being closed for the season. We were so bummed when we got there because we heard amazing things about Mad Tom's. Regardless, we loved riding around the area and picked up lunch at Zoey's Deli.
Coming from New York City where delis are so, so good, we were surprised to hear that a deli was the place to get lunch around the area. We weren't sure what to expect but were very pleasantly surprised with the food selection and seating area inside. Looking back, we should have eaten our lunches there, but we decided to pack them up and take them with us on our hike instead.
One of the only things that Scott was set on during our weekend was to go a hike through the mountains. Boy, he wasn't kidding!
I've been on hikes before, but this was definitely the first time that I questioned being able to make it out alive. I'm being dramatic, but man, there were several parts of the trail that could take a very dangerous turn if you lost your balance or took a few steps too close to the side of the cliff.
That said, I would still highly recommend visiting Lye Brook Falls on Green Mountain National Forest. Maybe just make sure to wear the proper shoes and don't bring a big, heavy bag with you?
In my defense, I thought that we were just walking through a trail. I had no idea that we were literally going to be hiking up a mountain, and I guess it was my own fault. Scott kept mentioning details like "are you sure you want to get those dirty?" and "maybe we should bring an extra set of clothes" before we left, and I just thought he was being extra. Nope. His suggestions were one hundred percent on point.
Even so, how can you not pause for a bit to admire natural beauty like this? The scenery was absolutely stunning!
After scarfing down about half of my salad, we packed up and I put a huge pep in my step. We made it out of the woods and safely back to the car in about half the time it took us to get there!
We were very grateful to get back in the warm, heated car, and I nursed Skyler who had been a champ (with sleeping and awake time while Scott wore him) throughout the entire thing. We were so proud of him.
We went back to the hotel to change out of muddy, wet clothes and kept dinner extremely casual with a trip to Cilantro. It totally reminded me of Chipotle, only locally owned and operated with menu items that featured local produce. We especially loved the selection of beers and wines after what felt like a long, physically tolling day!
In search of hot cider and donuts before we left back for home, we packed up early and headed out to the Equinox Valley Nursery soon after they opened on Monday morning.
There wasn't much going on during the weekday, and we knew that we missed the cider donuts from the day before (darn), but we heard that the pumpkin patch was worth the visit anyway. That is was!
The staff said there wasn't much left of it after the season, but welcomed us to roam around and take as many photos as we wanted to. We could tell that a lot of time was put into the pumpkin patch displays, and it was cute to see all of the different themes in the scarecrows and sitting areas. Plus, more views on views.
We ran into a few of their cats and Sky got the biggest kick out of them. I finally asked about the hot cider before we left, and happened to have a pot heated up. I ordered two cups and left with a small loaf of homemade pumpkin bread, too. It was delicious and just what we were looking for!
The only thing we wish we had more time to do was to explore the Hildene, a Lincoln Family Summer Home. Robert Lincoln (yes, Abraham Lincon's son) purchased 500 acres in Manchester and built a summer home in 1905.
He named it the "Hildene" and today it stands as a museum. We didn't have time to actually take a tour that usually lasts 30-45 minutes, but hopefully, we will be back to do so in the future.
Also, something that I just realized while researching more about the house online, is that the Lincoln family stayed at the Equinox Resort. In fact, it was the first spot they visited in Manchester in 1864 and is a big part of why they decided to build a home there. Fun fact!
We left directly for home after The Hildene with happy hearts, wishing that we had more time to spend in Vermont. It's always hard to go back to reality after a relaxing few days away, right?
It's not easy to get away to go on vacation by any means, but it always proves to be well worth it. I'm so glad that we were able to celebrate Scott's birthday with a getaway, and I am looking forward to hopefully getting to explore more of New England in the near future.
Thank you for treating us so well, Manchester!
I love your shoes that you are wearing on the hike! Can you share details??

Q: How to extract java class definitions from a heap dump of a running application? The need for extracting class definitions from a heap dump comes from the way some classes are loaded dynamically, not from static lib jars, but compiled dynamically or loaded over the network. The heap dump has the same size as the actually heap so I assume all the classes are there, possibly in the permgen. The objective is to extract the definitions in the form of .class files for further examination.

A: There do not seem to be any tools that readily allow you to retrieve the class bits from a VM, let alone from a heap dump. Nor is it clear that the class definition is even available in the exact same format as the contents of the .class in the VM.
But there are multiple options for saving the class definition before it is loaded in the VM. You could have an agent which can store the class definition, either in heap or external storage. This should also be possible with a custom classloader, but it is possible that it is bypassed by some other customer classloader.
The popular AOP tool AspectJ has an option to save the definition of instrumented class; it can probably be used for your use-case.

The Taste of the Tetons is my all time favorite event in the Jackson fall arts festival. Sure, the Friday night Palettes and Pallets is always fun, free food and wine in all the galleries. But the Sunday Taste of the Tetons is something I look forward to all year long. All the big restaurants, caterers, and hotels, bring their finest food and chefs and set up in the town square. The food is sometimes cooked right on the spot, or brought in and prepared fresh. Each small plate is between $3 and $5 dollars, with some deserts at $1 and $2.
There is always a good crowd.
There is a small art shows at the same time. Local artists, with all their wonderful wares.
And tons of wonderful food.
If you are ever in Jackson Hole in Sept. don't miss this!
Remember, US only. Sorry….shipping costs and all that.
Looks very yummy indeed. Have a terrific Tuesday.
Oh yum, I'm all about a good food event!
what a sweet, sweet necklace!
looks like it would be a lot of fun. The sky looked so blue against the fresh white tents. I bet you gained a few pounds eating all those yummy goodies!
I love food festivals, how lucky you are to be able to attend so many.
Would I love to win this? Are you kidding? Of course! The food looks delish too!
Love this! So, so pretty!
Tasty… yum! And that heart necklace is beautiful. I'd love to have that for my fall wardrobe (and beyond)!
I love those food tastings. Sadly around here it is so populated that it's not even worth going. The crowds and the parking are horrific.
That's a lovely necklace!! I would lover to win that.
Oh yes, would love to win that. It's beautiful! I might actually give it to my sis if I won it – she LOVES that shade of green and she's a great lover of handmade artsy things and she's been having a rough patch of stress lately! That food looks amazing!! I want to go to there!
I certainly would LOVE to win that necklace!

This month we're building something fun for the Thanksgiving table using power tools. If this sounds a little scary it's okay, perhaps you can find someone to cut the wood for you.
We're re-creating the Give Thanks Centerpiece for 2015; you might remember last year's centerpiece that was a fun one.
This list of tools and supplies can be purchased at your local hardware store. This project can also be made using scrap or reclaimed wood.
One 8 ft Cedar or Pine fence Plank.
These measurements can be modified, so if you want a longer box extend the length of the width. This would be the side walls and bottom.
2 ends at 6 inches cut both with a triangle roof– mark the wood before you cut.
2 inside walls at 3.5 x 7 inches each.
Before beginning make sure to sand each piece, this simple step will make stain application a breeze.
Drill two pilot holes on each side of the end pieces; this is a total of 8 holes.
Connect the ends to the inside walls with a hammer using finishing nails.
Add the bottom; you'll be drilling four pilot holes before you hammer with finishing nails.
swirl pieces, use one pilot hole on each end side and hammer in place.
Supplies can be purchased at any craft store and pine needles come from nature.
will soak it right up, let the box air dry outside. This may take a couple hours.
Stand back and light air spray the box.
Just let a dusting fall onto the box, you want to make sure the stain is still slightly visible. This should be dry in 20 minutes.
Add ribbon and pine needles using a hot glue gun.
Make ribbon loops by connecting with wire and apply to the box with hot glue.
The ribbon is pulled tightly around the box and tied off at one end before adding any sort of loops. Pine needles are added with hot glue on each side just above the ribbon.
This box was perfect for a couple fall bloomers. Make sure to add liners, add a couple pine cones or moss and your box will be ready for the table.
This would look nice with candles placed with a festive table runner. Get creative but most of all have fun with it.


Automatic palm rejection, accurate placement of a fine point and wide range of pressure input makes active digitizer pens popular choices indeed.
With that said, if your device doesn't have an active digitizer screen, you won't be able to take advantage of an active digitizer pen even if your device comes with a stylus pen. Devices such as the Microsoft Surface Pro, Samsung Note and the newer Apple iPad Pro series have an active digitizer. The Galaxy Note series is the only Android device series with active digitizer styli so chances are that if you own Android device other than the Galaxy Note, it will have a capacitive touch screen.
If getting a smartphone with a active stylus digitizer is not an option, the good news is that your finger or stylus rubber tip aren't the only options for Android users.
In fact, you can get a dedicated precision disc stylus for your Android device such as Adonit Droid micro precision disc stylus, which is made exclusively for Android high definition touchscreens.
Droid disc stylus is essentially a smaller version of the Mini 3 disc stylus and Pro 3 disc stylus but with a slimmer body (7mm) and smaller disc (4.75mm), making the writing experience a bit more intuitive.
You can also see the tip through the clear disk so your view is not obstructed like with a rubber tip stylus or your finger which can be very frustrating.
At 13 grams in weight and 120mm in length (with the cap closed), Adonit Droid is also smaller in length and lighter than the Pro 3 which is 6mm longer and 5 grams heavier.
The clip is a proper metal grip that works better than the Pro 3 at holding the pen in place. The cap on the Droid while not as convenient as the magnetic cap on the Pro 3, is certainly more secure as it's a screw-in cap so no chance of losing the cap.
The fine point precision experience is nicer thanks to the dampening feature in the tip which creates less resistance when writing. Saying this, just like the other disc styluses, precision writing is better if your device doesn't have a screen protector which does decrease the touchscreen sensitivity of the device.
Adonit Droid supports Powerpoint, Autodesk Sketch Book and pretty much any Android apps that let you write with your finger inside the app.
Being a product made for Android, the Adonit Droid is not compatible with any Apple devices, and some smartphone models such as the Asus ZenFone, LG G4, OPPO F1 and OPPO F1S.
While the Adonit Droid may not be as sensitivity and accurate as a stylus with digitizer like the Samsung S Pen, handwriting and swiping gestures with the Droid disc stylus are very efficient, plus the Droid doesn't need pairing with your device nor does it need batteries.

This happened for both 480p as well as for 720p videos. I already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras.
What other packages/codecs do I need to install to be able to watch videos?

To construct the Summer Nuclear Generation Station for South Carolina Electric & Gas, Bigge Power Construction allied with Timberland to build the largest-ever ringer derrick of its type. Timberland provided complete hoist and control systems for each of Bigge's two 6800 tonne derricks. Each system included four 75-ton traction winches with reel winders and four high-capacity diesel powered hydraulic power units with a synchronized PLC control system.
To lift and place the new station's main module, all 8 hoists required precise synchronization through Timberland's proprietary PLC program.
The placement was executed efficiently in 2013. The Timberland system was able to ensure safe, evenly distributed loading of the boom structure throughout the lifts.

Politt: I'll give it everything I have at Paris-Roubaix

German Classics specialist leads Katusha-Alpecin's hopes for Sunday's race

Between all the talk of the big Classics contenders, Nils Politt (Katusha-Alpecin) has been quietly riding a solid campaign this spring. The German says that he is going to give it his all at Paris-Roubaix to try to end his spring on a high note.

Paris-Roubaix preview – Podcast
After Alberto Bettiol surprised the major favourites at the Tour of Flanders last week, Politt's performances have put him on the radar as a dark horse for this weekend's Roubaix.
Politt finished seventh at the race last year, leading home the second of the chasing groups behind Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe), but the 25-year-old German has brushed off the expectations.
"Of course, I've seen a lot of it on social media already, but I don't see myself as a favourite," Politt said at the Paris-Roubaix teams presentation in Compiègne, France, on Saturday.
"But I know that I can finish the race in the top 10, and so I'll just just go out there and fight with everything I've got. It's the last cobbled Classic, so I'll give it my best and we'll see what happens."
With Katusha-Alpecin having been struggling for results since the start of the season – with just one win, courtesy of Marcel Kittel at the Challenge Mallorca in February – Politt has been a shining light for the Swiss-registered team. He's currently their best-placed rider in the UCI rankings, although the team is sitting down in 21st place.
His spring didn't start well with a disqualification for riding on the dirt track next to the road at Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, but second in the Paris-Nice time trial in March was a good sign of form for Politt. Since then, he's gone on to finish sixth at the E3 BinckBank Classic and took fifth at the Tour of Flanders.
"I've already shown at the E3 and at Flanders that I can fight for the win or a podium, which is a big step forward since last year, and a really nice feeling," explained Politt.
"So far, I'm really happy with how my Classics have gone – especially my fifth place at Flanders last week. I'm really looking forward to Sunday, and think that my shape's still good. I feel good, I feel well and I feel recovered, and will arrive at the race feeling stress-free."
There might only be three British riders set to ride Paris-Roubaix this Sunday, but you'd be mistaken for thinking the French race was happening in Britain, given all the talk about the weather over the last few days.
It's expected to be a dry and sunny day for the race, but the wind is expected to play its part. Politt believes that the wind factor is likely to lead to a bigger group than normal making it to the finish line at the velodrome in Roubaix on Sunday afternoon.
"As things stand, I think we're set to have more of a headwind for the race, and so I think it'll be a big group coming into the last three or four *****pavé sectors, and then, for sure, some riders will try to attack there.
"I'd expect a group of almost 20 riders to get away," Politt predicted. "Maybe three or four guys will get away initially, but I think that a bigger group will be coming."

USA U19 Women heading to World Champs
2022-05-19 2022-05-19 by Sue Liell-Cock
The upcoming World Rafting Championships (WRC) which start on the 25 May, will see the California Poppies as the USA U19 Women's team.
Teams from all over the world come to compete at the WRC, and while they may not understand each others' languages, they all understand one common language – that of the river. Barriers drop away, friendships are made, competition is enjoyed, skills are learned, new rivers are enjoyed.
"You don't speak the same language and now all of a sudden you do," said head coach Sue Norman of the California Poppies.
Sue, a former member of the USA Women's Rafting Team, has seen her fair share of international rafting competition podiums. Now at age 64, she's looking to pass that experience to a group of young women who will be representing the USA at the WRC in Bosnia and Herzegovina. And while competition will be on the minds of many at the championships, Sue said it's the bonds and memories formed at such international events that stand out after decades in the sport
"The reason to be there is to make friendships with the girls that we will be competing against," said Sue. "Hopefully, lifelong connections and who knows where that will go. That was the experience I had, having this whole community of people that share this life that means so much to me. When I talk about that with these girls, I see their eyes light up."
Sue grew up slalom kayaking, and raced on the US team for six years. In the 1980s, she joined a rafting team and competed internationally for roughly a decade. Five years ago, Sue moved to Truckee and began running a watershed education program on the Truckee River. She soon linked up with like-minded people and families from the area, and that's when the idea to form a competitive rafting team began flowing through her mind.
"Truckee's always had a vibrant rafting community," said Sue. "I got to know a bunch of kids here because I ran a watershed education program on the Truckee River for a couple summers. Seeing how dedicated these kids were, and how much they loved the river, I decided to put it out there and asked if these kids wanted to try competitive rafting."
The team of six girls that emerged would become the California Poppies.
California Poppies – the USA U19 Women
The team's first competition was nationals in Colorado in 2019. They finished as runner-ups in their division. Then COVID-19 hit and no events were available to race.
This did not dampen their spirits and a core group of six girls kept finding their way back to Sue for lessons.
"These girls have been training continuously with me and each year we hope there's an event and each year with COVID they kept getting canceled, but the girls' interest stayed with it," said Sue. "They've grown up, gotten stronger, better, more solid, and now they finally have an event to go to."
"All of the girls on the team are close, and so we always push each other to be better," said Chloe Tippett, 15. "It's a really tight group."
Chloe has been on the river her entire life. Her father, Aaron Tippett, has been a longtime river guide, and will make the trip with the group to Bosnia to help judge in some of the events. Chloe has long excelled in kayaking, an individual sport, but surprised her family when she expressed interest in competitive whitewater rafting.
"Chloe's been a really solid whitewater kayaker and when this came about she was like, 'I wanna try this,'" said Aaron Tippett. "It's just really neat to see a person who is very independent in her kayaking move to a team sport."
Joining Chloe on the team is Laurel Anderson who began rafting as a toddler and is a founding member and co-vice president of the U.S. Rafting Association Youth Board.
"I would like to compete internationally because it would be an incredible opportunity to compete at a higher level in a sport I love and meet others around the world in the sport," said Laurel about the WRC.
Hannah Hammond grew up rafting, while also excelling as a cross-country skier. Sienne Elste is usually part of the team but will miss the competition in BiH due to a family rafting trip in the Grand Canyon. Tatum Akers has been rafting since age 4, while also excelling on the slopes as an alpine skier. She has been the top Far West U16 skier the past two years.
"I love being a strong female in challenging sports and I look forward to being able to represent California and the United States on a female whitewater raft team," said Tatum on competing in Bosnia.
The final member of the team is Kennedy Kruse. She grew up paddling with her father and brother and has since spent time attending guide school, helping teach children about paddling, river safety, navigation, and ecology.
"I love learning about whitewater sports and I'm dedicated to doing my best, because whitewater is my passion," said Kennedy, 18.
While many of the group's individual backgrounds differ, it's ultimately a love for the river that unites them as a team, something their coach said immediately stood out.
"The thing that every girl on this team has in common is that they're all second-generation paddlers that grew up on the river," said Sue. "I grew up the same way that the girls on my team have. We grew up on the river with our families. Their collective love of the river is really powerful. It's obvious to see. Their lifelong love of the river and passion for paddling is what really makes this team so strong.
Paddling for Peace
Sue said the hope is the competition can bring countries together, something that happened during the first WRC. That event, which Sue took part in, took place in 1989 in Siberia and was organized by a group of rafters from Russia and California. It eventually led to the formation of the IRF in 1997 and so peace has always been a part of raft racing and of the IRF.
"I've really been thinking about that contrast," said Sue. "My experience going into this (in 1989) was an amazing time as far as world peace and all this openness because the Iron Curtain had just come down. There was this very strong partnership between these Russian and Californian rafters that really spread into this larger thing. Now, these girls, their first competition is happening when it looks like the Iron Curtain is going back up. We feel sad for not only the rafters in Ukraine, but also the rafters in Russia."
In order to reach this year's WRC, the team is raising funds tax free through the U.S. Rafting Association.

Shy albatrosses have higher chances of divorce, researchers surprisingly find
<!– removed temmporarily –>
In the albatross dating scene, shy males are more likely to get dumped, say researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Wandering Albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) live their lives soaring above the oceans in the Southern Hemisphere. Such a lifestyle has bred them to have large, energy-efficient wings; they have the largest wingspan of any bird, at over 10 ft (3 m) in length. But it also leaves precious little time for dating. So most albatrosses form stable, lifelong couples with a single mate, showing one of the most pronounced degrees of monogamy in all wild species.
As is the case in other parts of life, sometimes, things don't work out in albatross 'marriages'. New research is exploring whether and how the different personality types of male birds can influence the odds of such a break-up happening.
Too shy for comfort
Conflict-averse males, the team found, are more likely to get dumped by their mates. This is the first time that personality has been shown to be a reliable predictor of a breeding pair's 'divorce' in wild animals.
Although these albatrosses spend much of their life gliding over the ocean, they do meet up once every two years to breed with their chosen partner. That being said, "if they find that their breeding success is too low with a specific partner they may look for another one," explains Ruijiao Sun, a Ph.D. student at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the US and lead author of the paper. Such a 'divorce' event is pretty rarely seen, only occurring in around 13% of couples, according to the study.
In order to better understand what elements contribute to a couple engaging in such a divorce, the researchers drew on a unique database in order to better understand the personalities of different birds.
This dataset has been put together by researchers tracking a colony of wandering albatrosses on Possession Island in Crozet archipelago in the southern Indian Ocean, an effort that has been ongoing since 1959.
"We put a stainless ring on the leg with a number," says marine biologist and study co-author Stephanie Jenouvrier in an interview for AFP. "Because they're not really scared we can approach very slowly and we can read the number, [allowing us to] reconstruct the entire history of these birds".
According to Sun, the birds breed every two years as they need one year to raise each chick, a very draining process for both parents. They take the second year to recover and don't spend much time together during that time.
The team measured the boldness of almost 2,000 birds by using their response to humans approaching their nest as a proxy. Then, they compared this metric with each bird's history of divorce.
All in all, the team found that male albatrosses that were below average in boldness — i.e. they were more avoidant of conflict / shyer — were almost twice as likely to be dumped by their mate than those who were above average in boldness.
"We show for the first time the link between personality and divorce in a wild species, thanks to probably the best dataset in the world," Sun said.
The team also explains that these birds employ elaborate courtship steps, which also involve the males putting up a show for the females they are interested in by raising their wings, squawking, and doing a dance. Males can sometimes try to step in on the displays of males that are already in a pair. It is more likely that the outsider male is higher in boldness, as this is an aggressive act. If the male being interrupted is more risk averse, it may simply concede the dance to avoid confrontation, and thus de-facto accepting being 'divorced' from their mate.
That being said, there are other factors influencing the rate of divorce in a given colony. For example, there tend to be more male albatrosses than females, as females tend to forage for food in open areas where they are more likely to get caught up in fishing equipment. As such, females are quick to find new mates, whereas males can spend upwards of four years looking for a new pair.
Furthermore, individuals that have been paired up for a long time are less likely to break up than new pairs, according to the authors. Climate change could also be contributing to the rising rate of divorce seen in albatross colonies, as it places extra stress on the pairs to find adequate food and shelter.
The paper "Boldness predicts divorce rates in wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans)" has been published in the journal Biology Letters.

Things to Know about the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
The Mets return home tonight to begin a three game set with the LA Angels of Anaheim from Los Angeles near Anaheim. Here are some things you might want to know about them:
Record: 33-37, third place AL West
Manager: Mike Scioscia. 1013-839 (.547%) lifetime managerial record.
Park: The Angels are coming out to the east coast. Games at Citi Field.
Quickly . . .
Can they hit? Not so much
Can they pitch? Yup
Can they field? Yup
Who's their best player? The Angels' strength is their pitching, but the Mets miss Jered Weaver, one of the best, this time around. So let's say that Dan Haren, who pitches on Saturday, is their guy to watch.
SS – Erick Aybar – S
RF – Tori Hunter – R
DH – Bobby Abreu – L
LF – Vernon Wells – R
2B – Howie Kendrick – R
3B – Alberto Callaspo – S
1B – Mark Trumbo – R
CF – Peter Bourjos – R
C – Jeff Mathis – R
The Angels, who play in the league that doesn't let pitchers hit, have been outscored by all but two NL teams this season. That's probably a sign their offense is struggling. The Angels are ranked 12th (out of 14) in the AL in runs per game, 10th in on-base percentage, and 11th in slugging percentage. The infielders – Mark Trumbo, Howie Kendrick, Erick Aybar, and Alberto Callaspo from right to left, along with Macier Izturis, basically a full time player – have hit decently: Trumbo leads the team in home runs, Kendrick leads in OPS, and all five players have an OPS better than AL average. Bobby Abreu, the DH, is managing a .403 OBP at age 37 and trails just Jose Bautista and Miguel Cabrera for the AL lead in walks drawn. So none of these players are the problem on offense.
The problem is catcher Jeff Mathis (.499 OPS) and the pair of well-paid veteran outfielders. Tori Hunter, now a right fielder, is hitting .225/.303/.360, has grounded into 18 double plays, and leads the AL in outs. The albatross himself, Vernon Wells, has been worse in left: He's hitting .193/.235/.327. Add in Peter Bourjos, a defense-first center fielder, and the Angels are getting nothing offensively from their outfield and backstop. Which is why they're not scoring, and why they're not winning games.
By the way, Mike Napoli, the catcher the Angels traded away in the Wells deal last offseason, has an .836 OPS for Texas. Mathis and Wells have a combined OPS of 1.061, but that's only if you add their numbers together instead of averaging.
6/17: RHP – Joel Pineiro (vs Chris Capuano)
6/18: RHP – Dan Haren (vs Mike Pelfrey)
6/19: RHP – Tyler Chatwood (vs Jon Niese)
Miss: RHP – Jered Weaver
Miss: RHP – Ervin Santana
The Angels' starters have a 3.46 ERA, third best in the American League, and they're second in ERA-predictors FIP and xFIP. But that's misleading: Ervin Santana, Joel Pineiro, and rookie Tyler Chatwood have ERAs above 4.00, a bit below the AL average. The real reasons behind the low total ERA are aces Jered Weaver (2.06 ERA) and Dan Haren (2.54). The Angels are 16-13 when Weaver or Haren have started this season, and 17-24 for anyone else.
Also worth noting: The Mariners and Athletics, two of the worst offenses in baseball, also play in the AL West, and the Angels have three center fielders running around in the outfield. Both of those things are helping drag down the team ERA.
Joel Pinerio starts Friday night. He hasn't been missing many bats (just 24 strikeouts in 58 innings) and his sinker hasn't been sinking, leading to a 4.03 ERA. Dan Haren starts Saturday; after a down year (for him) last season, he started throwing his cutter more and the results have been career-bests. He still looks like a twitchy caveman on the mound. Sunday's starter is Tyler Chatwood, who began 2010 in High-A ball, worked his way to Triple-A, and broke camp with the big league team this spring. Ground ball pitcher, lots of fastballs, doesn't strike out many batters and has had problems with walks on every level.
C – Hank Conger – S
C – Bobby Wilson – R
1B/OF – Russell Branyan – L
IF – Macier Izturis – S
IF – Andrew Romine – S
Yes, the Angels' carry three catchers, none of whom can hit. Switch hitting Hank Conger is batting .225/.295/.350 with 3 home runs and 12 RBI, which is bad even for a back up catcher. But all of those numbers are significantly better than Jeff Mathis', so they've sort of worked their way into a platoon. As mentioned above, infielder Macier Izturis is almost a full time player, splitting time all over the infield with Howie Kendrick, Erick Aybar, and Alberto Callaspo. Russell Branyan somehow ended up here. The guy hit 25 home runs last season, and this is his fourth team since the beginning of 2010; he must make really unpleasant small talk or smells bad or something.
RHP – Jordan Walden
LHP – Scott Downs
RHP – Rich Thompson
LHP – Hisanori Takahashi
RHP – Trevor Bell
RHP – Bobby Cassevah
The Angels carry just six relievers right now – because, really, you gotta have that third catcher – but the starters eat enough innings where it's not an issue. The 3.51 ERA ranks them 5th among AL bullpens, but again, the relievers face the A's and Mariners hitters a lot and they have three center fielders running around in the outfield. The Angels' pen is probably more middle of the pack than their ERA shows, and it's a little of a top heavy group. Closer Jordan Walden (2.76 ERA) has more strikeouts than innings pitched and hasn't allowed a home run all year, while lefthanded sinkerballer Scott Downs (1.31 ERA) and Rich Thompson (3.07 ERA) have set up him well. (Also of note: Jordan Walden, Scott Downs, and Rich Thompson sound like three guys more likely to be members of the Harvard poetry club than the LA Angels.) The back end of the pen is messy or injured: Old friend Hisanori Takahashi has struggled this season, though has been pitching better of late, while Fernando Rodney and the other Francisco Rodriguez are both on the DL.
And those are some things to know about the Angels.

13 Resume Tips that Let you Get NoticedIt's Your Job Search Expectations, Not YouHow to Stand Out In the Job Search?How to Customize Resume?
Resume writing for a fresh start or career change can really be a daunting task. It seems challenging to work on a resume and figuring out ways on how to present your past and your present experiences and accomplishments in a way that is appealing to hiring managers.
When writing a resume, most individuals begin with an objective statement. On this opening statement, individuals usually tell employers what they are actually looking for with lines like "Seeking for an opportunity to make use of my skills with a reputable and growing company". The big question is, why are you telling the employers that? Why should these employers, which are considered as complete strangers would even care about your objectives. Well, they should not and they do not.
So, let me start by saying that career objectives are now gaining lots of criticisms. Being antiquated, objectives can damage your resume. This is because the purposes behind these objectives are often misunderstood. The purpose of resume objectives is not to tell employers or hiring managers what you hope to get from the company instead, your career objective should rather showcase your abilities and skills which helps in successfully fulfilling responsibilities for the position.
Objective is commonly about you looking for employment with a growing company with stronger plans and this and that however, your resume must be all about the employer. If this seems counter-intuitive well think about this, employers usually hire individuals to fill the needs of the business. Therefore, they wanted to know if you can help in meeting that need. Resume objective really do nothing about this.
You therefore need to skip resume objective. Some hiring managers and employers think that resume objective is unnecessary and outdated. If you somehow think that the employer or hiring manager you are sending your resume to will not find resume objective necessary then considering skipping it out.
It would be best to change your resume's focus from you to the manager or employer. Begin with a striking value statement which is something that shows manager or employers the reasons to hire you. Try stating something like-"Sales Manager with 10 long years of experience in the industry or maybe something like " Marketing Executive capable of driving double-digit revenues or maybe "Customer Service Representative who won five excellence awards in just three years".
It is also highly imperative to clearly state the type of position you are targeting up front to ensure that hiring manager or employer is clear on that. You also need to decide what will really make your resume more appealing to target managers or employers then lead and create your resume based on these. It would be better to share your value effectively rather than sharing only your personal goals.
Your resume can make or break your application so you need to be very careful with the content or information you include in your resume. Just by saying no to resume objective can help you end up with a resume that impress and captivates interest and attention elevating your chances of being hired.

Miss America wants the world to know there is more to her crown than popular beauty pageant shows like Toddlers and Tiaras.
Laura Kaeppeler, who was crowned Miss America in January, disagrees with the hit TLC show, and says it takes a lot more than dressing up and parading around a stage to win her title.
Miss Kaeppeler is not the only Miss America to speak out about Toddlers and Tiaras and its spin-off Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
Vanessa Williams, who won the Miss America title in 1983 said she would never let her children compete in the pageants portrayed on the TLC show.
Mr Cooper, the host of daytime talk show Anderson, quickly explained that 'special juice' is a mix of Mountain Dew and 7-Up.
Despite aversions to the show, it is one of the most watched programs on American television, and ratings continue to rise.
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, TLC's spinoff starring Toddlers and Tiaras' Alana Thompson and her family, hit a series-high last week with almost three million viewers, topping cable news and broadcast network coverage of the Republican National Convention.
