DryStoneGarden just turned a year old. The blog grew up as a side shoot of our efforts to make our own website, as a spur to start documenting our stonework and gardens and the plants we like, and as a recognition that there's not really enough information about stonework for gardens. A year later, I still feel like there's a paucity of info on stone (please comment or email me if you have a favorite site, I'd love to check it out), but I've been impressed with the quality of the garden blogs I've found, and I've enjoyed participating in the garden blog world. Thanks to everyone who participates with me.

Happy birthyday to U, Ryan! I'm glad you're out there sharing all your great knowledge and insights, from stonework to Sesame Street!
Thanks. I reckon there can never be enough Sesame Street knowledge and insights on the web.
Happy birthday! You've come a long way.

Today I want to share another gluten-free chocolate cake recipe that I love. And another flourless recipe at that. Flourless Chocolate Banana Honey Walnut Cake, to be exact.
Loyal gfe readers know that I love flourless recipes. They're naturally gluten free and always decadently delicious!
Recently, I shared my post on the 18 variations of my 3-minute chocolate cake. What's that? Oh, you only remember 6 variations? Yeah, you're right … I only shared 6 in that post, but you could easily make 18 variations!
LOL I confess I always exaggerate with the number 8 in the mix … it's one of my little idiosyncrasies. ANYwayyyy … let me get to the important part! Included in that post was a 3-minute, "miniature" version of the flourless chocolate banana honey walnut cake recipe that I'd adapted from my good friend Elana of Elana's Pantry.
All the 3-minute cake versions are quite good, but that particular one is one of my personal favorites (as is Elana's full-sized original that inspired it) because it exemplifies my feelings about the best type of gluten-free dessert. The best gluten-free dessert in my opinion is one that's gluten free easily (gfe) because all the ingredients are gluten free in their natural state.
The delightful fact about these desserts is that they are the incredible ones that everyone wants to eat; they are not just ones that are safe for gluten-free folks and, well, potentially only minimally edible.
I hate it when you get a gluten-free dessert and the assessment is "okay" or "not bad." Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
Instead I'm talking about exquisite flourless chocolate tortes, crème brulee, pots de crème, mousse, flan, flourless cookies, and the like—no deprivation there!
Of course, the fact that these desserts are in fact, flourless is a large part of what makes them so decadent. The flavors are shining through in a big way, unencumbered by flour.
I promote the flourless (or minimal amount) of gluten-free flour concept here at gfe quite often because for baked goods and many recipes that normally call for flour, adopting this approach makes gluten-free cooking/baking imminently more "doable." And more importantly it makes the products enjoyable once again.
If you've been following gfe for a while, you've seen recipes like the Flourless Chocolate Cake (a recipe that is quite different from this one but still utterly divine), Mediterranean Chocolate Cake, Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies, Flourless Pizza, and Crustless Quiches.
Savory dishes are included because they benefit from no or limited flour for the same reason … you get to taste the essence of the dish more. The other ingredients are front and center, not relegated to second-class status by flour or a crust.
Elana's Flourless Chocolate Banana Cake appealed to me immediately. First, it was flourless … enough said on that point.
Second, it called for bananas and I always have some baking bananas in the freezer.
Last, it called for honey, and I love to be able to use our bees' honey.
I made a few changes of course. I did not separate eggs as Elana did (I rarely separate eggs—not even for my Flourless Chocolate Cake). I substituted olive oil for the grapeseed oil in the original recipe. I also decided some ground walnuts would add nice texture and provide added nutrition.
The resulting Flourless Chocolate Banana Honey Walnut Cake was everything I hoped for. With the always-desired "chocolateness" made richer by the honey and ground walnuts and enhanced by a somewhat subtle banana flavor.
One piece of this cake is very satisfying. I took this to a committee meeting one afternoon and shared the rest of it with co-workers the next morning and everyone loved it.
Elana did not add flour to this recipe, but I actually think making it with her trademark addition of almond flour (from Honeyville) would make for an equally easy and delicious version of this cake. Until you get some of that, you can make my adaptation below. You probably have the ingredients on hand … because it's gfe, you know?
Speaking of the lovely Elana and her fondness for and great success in using almond flour in recipes, have you heard about her new cookbook? It's called The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook.
I ordered one for myself shortly after my birthday. Before it had even arrived, I visited a dear friend and she gave me my belated birthday gift … guess what it was? Yep, a copy of Elana's cookbook.
Not a problem at all … because I have decided to give my purchased copy to a lucky gfe reader via a giveaway here! NOTE: This giveaway is now closed. I have that copy with me here in San Francisco at the BlogHer Food 09 conference. Elana is one of the featured speakers. She has also graciously agreed to sign this book for the giveaway when I see her later today. I am so excited on both counts.
Because I'm at BlogHer Food, I don't have a lot of time to share my review, so I'll give you my brief summary and defer you to a more in-depth review elsewhere, if you don't mind.
This book is as lovely as Elana herself. It includes 99 recipes that run the gamut from appetizers to desserts. Filled with recipes that are delightfully simple when it comes to ingredients and instructions, but wonderfully complex when it comes to flavors and satisfaction.
The amazing photos and the little bits about Elana, that are shared in the book, are just frosting on the cake—make that chocolate, creamy coconut, marshmallow or peanut butter frosting, following Elana's recipes, of course!
Oh, by the way, yes, I'm having a fantastic time here in San Francisco! The conference is today! There was a small, intimate kickoff gathering held last night, but today 300 food bloggers will be gathering for a variety of great sessions.
Before and after, we've been doing our best to take advantage of all there is to see and do. Yesterday afternoon, Diane, Ali, and I went to Muir Woods (a humbling, calming experience of incredible beauty), traveling across the Golden Gate Bridge and also getting to spend some time in Sausolito.
We even ran into Elana herself, her husband, and a sibling they'd happened to run into—serendipity. Elana is every bit as lovely and charming in person as she is on her blog.
Today I've met Stephanie and Alison—both every bit as terrific in person as they are on their sites!—and so many more … "old" favorite bloggers who I've been following for some time and new favorite bloggers.
We've had several amazing naturally gluten-free meals: lunch at Crepe O Chocolat (since closed) and The Slanted Door, and dinner at Farallon. I'll share more details on all when I return from BlogHer Food! Until then, enjoy this flourless Chocolate Banana Honey Walnut Cake.
A rich, flourless cake that is healthy and delicious. Suitable for Passover or any time of year.
Add olive oil and mashed banana and blend for another minute or two.
Add cocoa powder, cinnamon, and walnuts. Blend just enough so all is mixed well.
Grease a 9-inch spring form pan and pour batter into pan.
Let cake sit in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool. Cake will be thin and moist.

**Why I'd like to win the cookbook = I'm an avid baker, and LOVE Elana's recipes, and I'm always looking for new recipes and inspiration.
Hi, VeggieGirl–Welcome to gfe! Thanks so much for your kind words … scrumptious is one of my faves, so that's a high compliment to me!
Sorry you couldn't make the conference. It was excellent in so many ways, with being able to meet my best blogging buddies in person being at the top of the list! Hopefully, you can attend next year. I don't think any of us who attended this inaugural event will ever want to miss it again!
You had me at Chocolate…..
H.Peter–Ha ha, no surprise there! You'll be happy to know that I am fully indoctrinated in Scharffen Berger now. 🙂 They were one of the sponsors at the BlogHer Food conference. Each participant got a certain amount in their swag bag and then the reps were asking everyone to take home more at the end of Saturday night!!! I took as much as I could without looking too bad. Hey, I'm a food blogger … I might even cook with this stuff. 😉 It's sooooo good, but, of course, I don't have to tell you that since you introduced me to it over at The Celiac Husband.
Enjoy yourself!! I'm sure the conference will be great =D.
I'd love that cookbook because I adore almonds, and anytime I get to eat them, or add them to my baking is great with me. Also, Elana has such wonderful recipes on her site, so I'm sure the quality in the book is great too =D.
Glad Blogher is starting off so well! Have fun!
BlogHer Food was the best for sure!
Great idea, and it looks really rich and yummy. Who doesn't always have a ripe banana they need to use up? Even if I buy two bananas a week, I end up with two bananas left over! Now I know what to do with them, besides putting them on cinnamon chex.
I would love to win Elana's cookbook because my husband and son are both GF, my son is also dairyfree. We have been trying to cut way back on the processed sugar we use, so Elana's recipes are perfect for us! I use the recipes from her blog often, and I would love to have a whole book to experiment with!
Hi there, Kassia!–Welcome to gfe! You are right … Elana's recipes are perfect for you. 🙂 As I was telling someone else, she brought her chocolate chip cookies to the conference and shared. I was one of the lucky few who got to enjoy them—so, so good!
Thanks so much for entering the giveaway. It's really great to be able to share such a terrific and beautiful cookbook with one of the gfe readers!
I would love to have the cookbook because I am developing a cookbook library for our celiac support mentor group here in San Diego. When a member asks me for a recipe I will be able to refer her not only to the recipe but also what book it came from.
I would love it just because it is gluten free!
Hi, Pam!–Love your entry comment—short and sweet, just like Elana's recipes!
Say hi to Anali for me if you see her at the conference. Enjoy SD.
San Francisco and the conference were fantastic. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
I've been following your status updates on FB, wanting to know every detail about BlogHer. Yeah, Broncos! Sorry, but I knew you went to the game. It sounds like you had a great time, please do a post on all the fun and games at the conference — and of course, the food.
Boy, you are definitely the flourless cake wonder goddess! I can't believe all your recipes. Oh, and I almost forgot, you do flourless pizzas too, don't you? What else do you have up your GF sleeve, Shirley?
Welcome home — whenever you arrive!
Flourless just makes sense for gfe but thanks for your kind words. It's so nice to have so many other wonderful gf bloggers like yourself and Elana to adapt from and be inspired by. 🙂 I have lots more up my sleeves (flannel pj sleeves right now!), so stay tuned dear.
Oh, and I forgive you for rooting for your home team. 😉 I did feel badly for all those die-hard Raider fans though. It would really stink to get all dressed up like that and then have your team lose.
I want the cookbook! I've never cooked with almond flour, but it sounds delicious!!!
The cake looks delicious. Can't wait to try.
Hi, Hallie–Welcome to gfe! I've "seen" you and your great recipes on your own site, Daily Bites, and others in our lovely gf blogging community.
Almond flour is a very nice way to bake well and healthily gluten free. Elana is an expert in this area for sure, so her book will be a wonderful addition to your kitchen. Good luck, and thanks so much for commenting and entering the giveaway!
I love your flourless cake and couldn't agree more – cooking gluten-free does not have to be difficult when using products that are naturally gluten free! It's easier and it is delicious!
Thanks so much for participating in Slightly Indulgent Mondays AND for all the kind words, Shirley. You are fabulous. Big hugs.
Hi, Amy–You always say the very nicest things—thank you! Estranged from your Google Reader … that's a nice way to put it. LOL One has to wonder why we are being kept from out beloved internet. 😉 But, you're being modest … you didn't mention the reason you were away—the Build a Better Burger contest. Coming in second is awesome—congrats again!
Great point on Elana's recipes being no-fail. She tests her recipes (each and every one!) many times before sharing them on her blog or in print. Anyone who wins will be very lucky indeed!
I would love to win this cookbook. I have been gluten free for almost a month now. I am an avid baker and cook and I am just starting out on the gf journey.
I would love to win the cookbook because I would love to make simple yet delicious foods for my 2 year old celiac. The almond flour base is really appealing because it addresses her current nutrional difficiencies from the pre-diagnosis damage.
Hi, Heidi–Welcome to gfe! Elana's cookbook does sound like it would be a tremendous help to your family. 🙂 Almond flour is a wonder ingredient. I used it tonight for our casserole entree—so very good!
Thanks so much for entering the giveaway … best of luck!
I would love to win her cookbook. I was gluten/dairy free for years…and then had kids. I am in the process of switching our whole family to gf, because they will have a happier and healthier mommy!!! And well…they may as well join me.
Laura–Hi, and welcome to gfe! A happier and heathier mommy will be a wonderful thing for you and your family. 🙂 Elana's book would be a big help with so many terrific recipes.
I hope you'll look around here at gfe for recipes to make your transition easier, too. Be sure to check out the gfe's tip sheets on the sidebar. There are several listings there that will show you main dishes, desserts, etc. that are naturally gluten free or easily made gluten free—gfe. The gfe approach won't make your family feel deprived because your meals will taste as wonderful as ever.
I would love to win Elana's book because not only am I gluten intolerant, I also have hypoglycemia and protein-rich almond flour is a great way to get the protein I need to keep my sugar level.
Hi, Jenny–Welcome to gfe! Yes, Elana's book would be a tremendous aid to you. Almond flour and the other ingredients Elana uses are helpful to so many and delicious for all.
Okay, Shirley — I know you have a "real" life to live, but I'm anxiously awaiting BlogHer details. No pressure, of course, as I barely have time to squeeze in a regular blog post, let alone detail my travels, but I'm so interested in your take on the conference. The food, the people, the knowledge, the fun?! I'll enjoy it vicariously through you and the rest of the GF gang.
Hey Melissa–You are cracking me up … I so easily keep you on pins and needles, perhaps I could become a suspense writer? 😉 Hoping to get something up tomorrow, now that my work week is done. But no promises. Good news, I think my jet lag is finally gone! Yippee! Here's a link to Elana's latest post on BlogHer Food with several photos of the gf bloggers, including one of moi. 😉 She did a great job and her feelings mirror my own in many ways.
I've had my eye on this book! I love to bake, and since I've started baking some gluten free things, friends and relatives have expressed interest as well.
On a side note, I'm go glad you are enjoying the conference. I'm from the Bay Area and I LOVE Muir Woods. It's one of my all time favorite places to be.
Hi Christina–It's a great cookbook! I guess you're looking to win two giveaways in a row, huh? That's a great way to build a gf cookbook library. I wonder what the odds are of you winning again … best of luck! 🙂 Oh, and it's wonderful that others are interested in gluten free! You know the saying, be the change you want to see in the world.
I got back from the conference very late Monday night. It was a fabulous experience and I plan to share more soon. Muir Woods was amazing. If I lived nearby, I'd visit often. I can see why it's one of your all-time favorite spots. It's so beautiful and calming. We didn't want to leave when it was time to get back on the tour bus. I think we were one of the last groups back.
One of the highlights of the conference was making so many friends, and I'm so glad we got to know each other there, and now here!
Onto more serious pursuits, your cake looks delicious, I love the pic with the cake and crumbs. I bet that last chunk disappeared in a hurry. I am adding this recipe to my short list!
I'm glad you like the photo of the cake. That one I almost didn't post because it looks so messy, but good cakes are messy, right? That's how much was left after a committee meeting of five. LOL I took that part to work the next morning and it was gone in a matter of minutes!
Why do I want to win Elana's book. That is easy. Elana fills her blog with her sweet self and her recipes. I have been stocking up on almond flour but could use some more recipes to bake with.
Your flourless cake is great. I have made flourless brownies that are out of this world. I had not thought of adding bananas to the chocolate cake, I also have had. Love new ideas.
Hi, Chaya!–I love your comment! 🙂 Yes, Elana "fills her blog with her sweet self and her recipes." And, her blog persona is the real Elana!
I hope you've recovered from the jet-lag by now and that you enjoyed the rest of your time in SF. How was the football game, btw?
As for the recipe, this cake looks amazing! I had a chance to browse through the book at the BH bookstore and its now on my must-get list. Thanks for the recommendation!
Now I'm off to find that pizza recipe you were telling me about at lunch. Yay!
Hey there, Diva!–Thanks so much for sitting with us! We're not an exclusive group. 😉 It was such a delight to meet you and others. Some good karma at that conference!
Elana's recipes are really phenomenal. This cake is so full of flavor. All the other recipes of hers that I've tried/adapted have always been delicious, too.
Thanks for stopping by … welcome to gfe!
P.S. Oh, yeah, everyone should try that flourless pizza recipe!
I love the chocolate, honey, walnut combination. It sounds delicious!
Hi Linda–I added the walnuts to give it some texture and was really glad I did. All the flavors in this cake are in "my favorites" listing. 😉 I find recipes made with honey very satisfying … one piece is just right.
I just found your site and am so overjoyed. I have hesitated to bake GF but long for something sweet to eat and this Flourless Chocolate Banana Honey Walnut Cake. All the flours make me timid. I am so glad you are here to help me. Thanks so much.
Hey, Elizabeth!–Welcome to gfe! Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm glad you found me, too! 🙂 I was like you when I went gf. Finally, I decided making flourless recipes, using my simple gf flour mix, and also cornmeal for baking were all the way to go. On occasion I even use common, but unconventional ingredients for baking–like black beans for brownies or chick peas for chocolate cake. Lately I've been using the high quality almond flour that Elana recommends. It all works out well. Look around my site for more flourless and easy baking recipes. 🙂 I look forward to seeing you here more on gfe!
I would very much like to win Elana's cookbook, in order to give it to my 20 year-old son, who is very discouraged about living gluten free. It would show him that he isn't missing anything, and many new delicious adventures await him!
Best of luck and thanks so much for stopping by and entering this giveaway!
Oh, I came here to look at recipes and then see a cookbook giveaway as well.
First the chocolate cake looks so incredibly scrumptious. I cannot wait to try it- as soon as I can get my hands on some cocoa as I just ran out! I love flourless recipes as well. I am just loving your blog- nice wonderful simple recipes!
I would absolutely love to have Elana's cookbook- I just adore her and her recipes and have never had a one of them fail. I have successfully modified them as well to use various nut and seed flours as we try to keep low salicylate(due to reactions in the kids) and they are still always as wonderful. Having her cookbook would help me so much- as I am constantly running back and forth from the computer to the kitchen while using her recipes as the blasted printer won't work! It will be put to very, very good use in my house!
"I just adore her"–yes, isn't Elana fabulous? Having just met her in person at BlogHer Food, I have to say she absolutely is! Her recipes are great as written or are easily adapted as you said (and as I've also experienced). LOL on the run from kitchen to printer … I'm the one who goes from kitchen to computer with scrap piece of paper (for jotting down recipe) and back to kitchen. (My printer is downstairs.) A real cookbook sure can come in handy, huh?
Thanks so much for commenting and entering the giveaway!
oh my goodness how i've wanted elana's cookbook! it is on my wish list, but how fun to win it?!
lovely cake also; bananas, walnuts, and chocolate are clearly one of the best combinations, ever.
I just got Elana's book from the library and love it! I would love to own a copy.
I also just launched a website with gluten free and dairy free recipes…www.KendraLay.com.
Hi, Kendra–Welcome to gfe! Since you've already checked out Elana's cookbook from the library, you know exactly what a wonderful prize you would be winning. 🙂 And, bravo for your library for already having a copy, since it hasn't been out that long–very cool. Okay, you're entered in the giveaway!
I just checked out your site–congrats on launching it! I know what a momentous occasion that can be from my own experience. I've subscribed and will be following you … some really good stuff there … recipes, acupuncture, foot massage (I wanted one immediately after seeing that photo with the post), and more.
All the best and best of luck in the giveaway!
Thank you for the shout out. We had so much fun making the recipes from Elana's cookbook. They really tasted great too. My family keeps asking me for more. Your chocolate cake looks great too. I'm going to have to give it a try too but with no bananas. The only thing I like in my chocolate is more chocolate.
I also had a great time in San Francisco at BlogHer Food and touring around town with you and Ali. What a great town to eat gluten free. So many great options out there without even being advertised as gluten free.
Love all the comments you have going here. I hope whoever wins this cookbook gets busy cooking right away.
Oh, yes, that was such a wonderful time with you gals! As long as we were out on our own, we had no problems with eating gluten free. And, you echo a point I am always making … that a restaurant doesn't have to have a gluten-free label or menu per se to be a wonderful choice for eating gluten free!
too bad i missed the giveaway, but Elana's book is something Im definitely going to get for myself and for my friends. And this flourless cake is just amazing!I'd love to bring over our readers to your site if you wont mind, just add this little foodista widget to this post and it's all set to go, Thanks!
I'm not familiar with Foodista. Thanks for the invitation … I'll certainly check out the site!
Thank you for introducing me to Slightly Indulgent Mondays.
Found you through Elana's Pantry. This looks GREAT! Can't wait to try it… Thanks!
Hi Marillyn–Welcome to gfe! Thanks so much! This is a lovely grain-free cake. I hope you'll enjoy it. 🙂 Please let us know what you think or if you make any adjustments. There are some really lovely desserts in that roundup, aren't there?
My Elvis would love this. Thank you for sharing it on Friday Foodie Fix.
Hello there! Thanks for this wonderful recipe! i was wondering if I could do it without the bananas…would it work? Could I maybe use another fruit? Thanks again!
walnut cake, how much would you add?

The service works when I send the paramter with @Body Test type but I want work with @Body String that i don't create a Test class and using this in @Body. I create a JSONObject and convert this to String but in this way, the program doesn't work! Can you help me or suggest a solution for this?
My Web API:
    [Route("TestService"), HttpPost, IgnoreDataLog]
    public async Task<Result<TestResult>> Add(Test pmDeviceObj)
    {
        var listResult = await pmService.AddAsync(pmDeviceObj);
        return listResult;
    }

Android part:
@POST("TestService")
Call<Result<TestResult>> TestService(@Header("Content-Type") String content_type,@Body String body);

Call Service in Android-> I get the StatusCode 400 with the below code
    JSONObject jsonBody=new JSONObject();
    try {
        jsonBody.put("Id",73);
        jsonBody.put("seri","55656573");
        jsonBody.put("code","fc24009b9160");
        jsonBody.put("sID",8);
    }catch (JSONException ex){
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

    retrofit2.Call<Result<TestResult>> call1=service.TestService("application/json",jsonBody.toString());

If I use the below code in the Android part, everything works correct and I take the data.
@POST("TestService")
Call<Result<TestResult>> TestService(@Header("Content-Type") String content_type,@Body Test inputValue);

 Test test=new Test(73,"556565","fc24009b9160",8);
 retrofit2.Call<Result<TestResult>> call1=service.TestService("application/json",test);

A: This happens because Retrofit considers String as a 'normal' object that has to be converted to a JSON and is not aware that it already is a JSON represntation of object.
If you have HttpLogginInterceptor configured, you should see that (simplified example) your JSON string:

{"sId": "8"}

actually goes like:

"{\"sId\": \"8\"}"

To prevent this happen you need to use something like the comment suggests ScalarsConverterFactory. First you need to set dependencies for it:
For Gradle
dependencies {
    implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-scalars:2.4.0"
}

or for Maven
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.squareup.retrofit2</groupId>
    <artifactId>converter-scalars</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.0</version>
</dependency>

After done that you need to add the converter factory to your Retrofit, like (added also logging to be easily tested):
HttpLoggingInterceptor interceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
interceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
        .addInterceptor(interceptor).build();
retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
        .baseUrl(MY_URL)
        // be sure to add this before gsonconverterfactory!
        .addConverterFactory(ScalarsConverterFactory.create())
        .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory
                .create())
        .client(client).build();
myApi = retrofit.create(MY_API_CLASS);

BOYS' BASKETBALL: Schioppo, McDonald power North Haven past Foran
John J. RuggieroElm City Sports Writer
NORTH HAVEN — What a difference a year makes. At this time last year, the North Haven boys' basketball team was fighting off injuries and just trying to survive among the best the Southern Connecticut Conference had to offer.
This season, the Indians are off to a sparking 3-0 start.
Thanks in part to stellar offensive showings from seniors Dominic Schioppo (19 points) and Billy McDonald (18 points), the Indians improved to 3-0 with a 57-47 over Foran Tuesday night in North Haven.
"It's nice to get off to a 3-0 start," North Haven coach Pete Civitello said. "One of our goals coming into the season was to get off to a fast start."
The Indians did indeed start fast in this one, leading 17-2 after the first quarter.
Early on, North Haven just flat out dominated.
The Indians closed the first quarter on a 15-0 run with three 3-pointers created by stifling defensive play. Sophomore Josh Lopez (12 points) was one of the main catalysts in the run.
Lopez got things going for North Haven with a 3, then followed with a steal and a layup and then scored a basket underneath thanks to a nice pass from senior Spencer Oakes (three points).
Schioppo and McDonald both added 3-pointers and McDonald closed out the quarter with a difficult layup right at the buzzer to put the Indians in control.
It was more of the same in the second.
Schioppo hit a 3-pointer to open the quarter, before senior guard James Richetelli (nine points) hit a 3-pointer to get the Lions their first basket of the game.
"We had a very slow start," Foran coach Tim Swaller said. "It was the second game in a row that this happened to us. When you're down that big, it's tough to get out of it."
The Lions tried to dig in and make a comeback, but every time they made a big shot, the Indians responded.
Down by 14 to start the third quarter, the Lions felt it was their time to make a run.
Junior Casey McCone (12 points) hit two consecutive 3-pointers following a Shawn Carliglio (six points) bucket in an attempt to get Foran going, but Richetelli missed two free-throws late in the quarter that the Indians capitalized on.
Lopez hit his third 3-pointer and Schioppo connected on a layup to help the Indians increase their lead to 41-25 after three quarters.
"We looked good early on," Civitello said. "Our adrenaline dropped a little bit in the second half. We lost some of that aggressiveness and energy that we showed early in the second half, but we held on. We did what we had to do tonight to win. It feels good to be 3-0."
Down by double digits, Foran (1-2) still had plenty of opportunities to get back into the game in the final quarter.
McCone hit his third 3-pointer early on, then nearly made another, before making a couple free throws to give the Lions an offensive boost.
Carliglio made a basket and junior guard Kevin Green hit six consecutive free throws to cut the Indians' lead to seven (50-43) with just under 3 minutes to play.
Unfortunately for Foran, North Haven went back to its go-to guys and they delivered.
McDonald hit a difficult driving layup and Schioppo followed with a steal and a layup of his own to seal the win for the Indians.
"I thought we played well in the second half," Swaller said. "We were aggressive on both the offensive and defensive side. Opportunities were there, but we didn't capitalize. We did some good things. We had a nice run going. Carliglio, Kevin (Green) and McCone all played very well in the second half, but I tell the guys, we gotta play for 32 minutes."
The Lions will travel to New Haven on Thursday night to take on Hillhouse before gearing up for the Platt Tech Holiday Tournament next week where they'll meet Sheehan-Wallingford in the first round.
The Indians will also travel to New Haven on Thursday night to take on another SCC powerhouse Wilbur Cross, before coming back home on Dec. 29 to host Lyman Hall-Wallingford.

French Journalists Face Jail for Exposing Gov't Lies About Yemen War
TEHRAN (FNA)- French journalists are being threatened with jail time for reporting on leaked documents revealing the country's complicity in the Saudi-led war in Yemen after they refused to answer questions from anti-terror police.
"They want to make an example of us because it's the first time in France that there have been leaks like this," Geoffrey Livolsi, co-founder of investigative news outlet Disclose, told the Intercept, referring to the classified Directorate of Military Intelligence briefing, meant for President Emmanuel Macron's eyes only, that revealed the government had lied to the public about how the weapons it was selling would be used.
"They want to scare journalists and their sources away from revealing state secrets," Livolsi added.
Livolsi, his Disclose co-founder Mathias Destal, and Radio France reporter Benoit Collombat could face up to five years in prison and a €75,000 fine for merely handling classified documents without authorization under a 2009 law that prohibits "attacks on national defense secrets" after the General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI), France's domestic intelligence service, accused them of "compromising the secrecy of national defense".
The DGSI hauled them in for questioning this week after a story they published last month based on the leaked document showed top government officials were fully aware that military equipment they sold to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – including laser-guided missile systems and tanks – was being used "offensively" in Yemen in violation of a 2014 arms treaty.
The journalists refused to answer questions about their sources and work, invoking their right to remain silent and instead proffering a statement in support of public interest journalism. While France does have a law protecting the freedom of the press, it does not apply to "national defense secrets", and there are no exceptions – not even for the public interest.
The French government appears to be out for blood, according to Disclose lawyer Virginie Marquet, who pointed to statements from Armed Forces Minister Florence Parly accusing the outlet of violating "all the rules and laws of our country". And even if the government ultimately chooses not to prosecute, the damage has been done.
"There's a chilling effect," Marquet told the Intercept, saying, "It's a warning for every journalist - don't go into that kind of subject, don't investigate this information."
At least 36 French media outlets signed a statement condemning the persecution of the journalists last month. Macron's government cracked down on dissident journalism in 2018 with a law allowing the government to shut down any news agency deemed to be under "foreign influence" four months before an election.

University of New Hampshire President Addresses Protesters, Student Body's Sexual Assault Concerns
Jadd Published: October 26, 2021
The New Hampshire via Twitter
For the second-straight school day (first on Friday, October 22 and again yesterday, Monday, October 26), members of the University of New Hampshire student body protested outside of UNH President James Dean's on-campus home. As referenced yesterday, the cause of the protest is growing concerns about one student who is alleged to have assaulted multiple female students, to the point that a Change.org petition calling for the student's expulsion has registered over 4,000 signatures.
UNH President James Dean addresses students
Unlike on Friday, when the protest moved over to Stoke Hall, according to the UNH student newspaper, The New Hampshire, due to word that Dean of Students Michael Blackman was at the residence hall, the protest remained outside of President Dean's house.
During the protest, which again saw over 100 students together in solidarity, President Dean actually appeared outside and addressed the protesting students and answered their questions.
James Dean released an update about UNH policy earlier that afternoon
Earlier yesterday afternoon, the official Twitter account for the University of New Hampshire posted a link to an update from President Dean "about UNH policies & practices regarding sexual assault."
"I first want to emphasize that we do not tolerate any form of sexual harassment at UNH, including sexual violence, and are committed to preventing it. I know the devastating effects that sexual violence can have on survivors and am committed to providing them with resources and options to help them make informed decisions after experiencing an assault."
The update goes on to outline the lack of public discussion with sexual assault reports from the University as to respect all parties involved and not disrupt any and all investigations, as well as the social media impact of sexual assault reports.
"For two reasons, it is difficult for people in our community to have an accurate understanding of what has happened and what the university has done in the aftermath of a report of sexual assault. First, the university does not publicly discuss the details of a sexual assault report because we respect the privacy of those involved, and so that we do not interfere with any investigation. Second, there is often a great deal of conversation on social media in the aftermath of a reported incident, and much of what is shared on social media is simply not true. These factors are relevant to the current incident, and to essentially all such incidents."

Women have left marks on everything from entertainment and music to space exploration, athletics, and technology. Each passing year and new milestone makes it clear both how recent this history-making is in relation to the rest of the country, as well as how far we still need to go. The resulting timeline shows that women are constantly making history worthy of best-selling biographies and classroom textbooks; someone just needs to write about them.

As you can see on this picture these guys are aware of me taking a picture.
for a while because his boat is getting to a state that shows he will never leave the mooring.
The guy rowing is a well known to us, his name is Alofi. We have been to his house eating dinner last year (we paid for it).
and as we were talking I took the camera and took a couple of pictures. The guy asked "Why did you take a picture?"
And I responded "because you look great in this light".
Normally I would have asked first, "is it OK if I take a picture?" but this one I just felt I could do it and he just continued to do his stuff.
In this part of the world the low light is just lasting 30-40 minutes and then you have the sun from above, and light is everything.
Some ask what kind of camera I use and I would say for the look it really does not matter, the most important thing about a good camera is that it can shoot raw format. Raw format is like a digital negative. It gives you the opportunity to work on a picture after you shot it.
You could say that a Jpeg is like a ready made bread and a raw format is like a dough before you put it in the oven.
What is important with what kind of camera you use is how big it is and what quality you get for this size.
A small camera will be with you all the time, a big comes out when there is a clear assignment. At least for me.
I have a Canon 5D MarkII on board with different lenses and it weighs probably 12 kg if all lenses are carried around.
It is a great camera and it has survived the climate, but it stays in the boat for most of the time.
If we go on a trip ashore we have to carry stuff for the children as well as for us, so the camera cannot be a major thing.
3 kg. A huge difference! The quality was not as good as the Canon 5D but good enough. The biggest problem with that camera was the viewfinder, you had to put on a small electronic one that gave a bad picture and I seemed to fall behind all the time with focus etc.
But it was always with us and after Erica dropped the small Leica on a Levada in Madeira it was the only reasonable camera to bring along.
I was not happy with it but it was still sad when it drowned in Rarotonga, the terrible harbor where we could hardly get ashore.
When we came to New Zealand it was time to get organized with the camera. I had the lenses left but no camera so I started to look into a newer model and the Lumix GX7 seemed to be my next choice. It has a great viewfinder and the quality is close to the Canon 5D MarkII.
Actually the GX7 is a great "street camera". It works really fast and it looks like an amateur camera if you stay away from a bigger zoom.
I love to use it with a prime lens called a pancake, that is 20 mm.
I can hold the camera in one hand and look at people, just point at the camera, lean my head to the side and shoot.
I can also put it in silent mode, just lean down and shoot and be done before anybody noticed.
lets say 1930, nobody is questioning that, it is all seen as a great frozen moment in time.
aiming to shoot the truck, and not only did I get the picture but we walked together back to town and had a great chat.
This guy I first asked if he sold the tomatoes and he told me "no" he was only guarding them.
and he said "sure". I think he understood he was in the picture but did not care.
fishing with his step father. The light was falling fast and after a while I asked if I could take a picture of him.
He said yes and after that he asked if he could have a print. I said yes and asked how we could meet.
He said same time and place tomorrow.
I printed a picture and next day when I arrived the whole family was there waiting.
work with the speed of light. No fuzzing about when it is time to shoot.
Do not only read the manual, read books about that camera and how to use it best.
So my set up is a 20mm prime, a 7-14mm zoom (oh yes it is a real wide angle) and a 45-200 zoom (like a 90-400mm in full frame).
a backpack (now we have watertight backpacks) or any other bag that looks like anything but a camera bag.
makes it easy to reach for lenses etc.
By the way, whatever camera you choose, make sure you buy an extra battery and extra memory sticks!
Rich on Legacy just told me he will put some good tips and techniques for shooting water etc, I will connect to that!

Q: Should 'Shopping Request' be a default close reason for all Stack Exchange sites? We don't like shopping request questions on Stack Exchange.
As has been pointed out to me on UX.SE, Stack Overflow, Programmers and Super User all have custom close reasons for when shopping request questions come in. On UX.SE we also close these questions off usually with a combination of 'Too Broad' or 'Primarily Opinion Based' and with a suitable comment left against the post, such as:

Sorry, but questions requesting recommendations for books / software / apps / papers etc. would fall into the shopping request category and aren't really suitable to a Q&A website. The reason for this is that there is no one correct answer, and such recommended items would soon be updated and replaced with newer / better versions making the best answers redundant. Therefore you're better off visiting our Chat site for such discussions, they're not really suitable for this main site I'm afraid.

Now ideally we would add this to one of the custom close reasons we have set up, but we're only allowed three of these so that means one of the existing custom close reasons would have to be removed. This isn't an ideal situation as those close reasons don't really fit with the Too Broad / Opinion Based close reasons (hence the reason for having custom reasons in the first place).
Also, I'm not really convinced that Shopping Requests are actually off-topic - "What is the best language to use for X", or "What book will tell me about Y" aren't exactly Off Topic for the sites as they are usually requesting something around the general topic of the site itself. But they are certainly not suitable questions for a Q&A site.
So, if most (maybe even all?) of Stack Exchange sites don't allow Shopping Request questions should this not be set as a default close reason in its own right for all sites to use?
Not only would this send a message to all users that Stack Exchange isn't the place to ask for recommendations for a particular product, but would also free up one of the custom reasons on sites that already have this set up as a reason, allowing them to specify something specific to that individual site.

A: Firstly, not all sites disallow recommendations. Mathematics, TeX, Mathematica, and Reverse Engineering are some sites that I know of that allow a controlled form of recommendations (I think). Physics is also on its way to allow a subset of resource recommendation questions.
That aside, each site has a different type of recommendation question that is common to them. Stack Overflow has library and book recommendations. Security.SE has broad "strategy" recommendations, along with best practices questions and some product recommendations. Super User has product recommendations. Physics has book/website recommendations. Chemistry has book and software recommendations. The old Astronomy.SE used to have physical tool recommendations (telescopes, lenses, etc). Scifi has "what should I watch next". Bitcoin has software recommendations. Electronics has hardware recommendations and where-should-I-buy-this questions. English has word recommendations.
While each of these has the same underlying theme to them, they're different. When the close system was put in, most, if not all, sites were given the following close reason:

Questions seeking product recommendations are off-topic as they become obsolete quickly. Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve.

But this one is pretty short and not ideal (in fact, it doesn't even make sense on some sites where the recommendations are not "product" recommendations). Sites should identify what type of recommendation is common for them, and tailor the close reason to the type of question they get.
For example, Stack Overflow has:

Questions asking us to recommend or find a tool, library or favorite off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.

Super User has:

Questions seeking product, service, or learning material recommendations are off-topic because they tend to become obsolete quickly. Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve. Here are a few suggestions on how to properly ask this type of question.

Electronics:

Questions seeking recommendations for specific products or places to purchase them are off-topic as they are rarely useful to others and quickly obsolete. Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve.

English:

Questions on choosing an ideal word or phrase must include information on how it will be used in order to be answered. For help writing a good word or phrase request, see: About single word requests

Scifi:

Requests for lists of works or recommendations are off-topic as they do not fit our questions and answers format. Feel free to ask about people's favorites in chat.

One can see that they all vary, and these specific reasons are much better than the original catch-all.

Some sites don't have that large a problem with recommendation questions, so they don't even have a close reason for it. Instead, they close them as "primarily opinion  based" or they use the freeform off topic close reason when these questions come in. Physics has bigger problems with homework and non mainstream posts, so we don't have a close reason for recommendations. Skeptics has a whitelist of the types of allowed questions, instead of using the usual blacklisting system -- only questions asking about the veracity of a notable claim are allowed, and that pretty much excludes the other types of bad questions like lists (they only have one close reason, and that's all they really need). Christianity doesn't seem to get many recommendation-type questions. There probably are more like this.
So the importance of the recommendation close varies from site to site, as well as the type of question it actually targets.

What sites are encouraged to do is to take a look at the recently closed questions, and determine the types of commonly closed questions.  The community team has some queries that can help greatly with this. First, identify is recommendation questions are really a problem for you. If that is the case, then identify the type of recommendation question you get, and propose a custom off topic close reason for it. The number of slots can be increased from 3 if you can demonstrate a need.

A: There is already a close reason for shopping recommendations:

primarily opinion-based
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.

Not only would making "shopping recommendation" a separate close reason be redundant, it would also be extremely confusing. Normal people — basically, almost anyone who isn't a Super User regulars — understands "shopping recommendation" to mean "recommendation as to which product to buy". Using "shopping recommendation" to mean other things, such as "recommendation as to which free product to use" or "recommendation as to which book to read" (even if the book is to be bought) is highly confusing.
Some sites may elect to have close reasons that are specific to a kind of issue that they encounter frequently and that doesn't completely and obviously fall under the heading "primarily opinion-based". For example, Security has the close reason

Questions seeking product recommendations are off-topic as they become obsolete quickly. Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve.

(slightly more general than "shopping recommendation", as it covers all product recommendations even when no shopping is involved) while Science Fiction & Fantasy has the close reason

Requests for lists of works or recommendations are off-topic as they do not fit our questions and answers format. Feel free to ask about people's favorites in chat.

(again, it's about recommendations but not about shopping). The more academic site Cryptography has the custom close reason

Requests for reference recommendations are off-topic here. For details, see: Do we want "literature recommendations" and similar "list/subjective questions"?

— again, nothing to do with shopping: there literature recommendations are a common issue but shopping hardly ever comes up.
So it's up to you on UX to analyze what kind of unsuitable question comes up often enough to warrant a specific close reason. And please don't use the expression "shopping recommendation" if no actual shopping is going on.
Also, yes, such questions can be unsuitable but on-topic — but that's a separate problem.

ENCINITAS: Local teen gets national attention for video asking singer for date
By STACY BRANDT - sbrandt@nctimes.com
ENCINITAS -- Luke Walton has been working hard to build a namefor himself as a singer and songwriter, but he's getting the mostattention for an online video he created trying to get a date withcountry-music sensation Taylor Swift.
The 18-year-old Encinitas resident has been making some progresswith his musical career since graduating from La Costa Canyon HighSchool in January -- but it's nothing compared to the reaction to avideo he posted on YouTube.
In it, he performs his own version of Swift's "Love Song" and,so far, the video has gotten nearly 70,000 hits. Walton said hefigures that each additional viewer puts him one step closer togetting Swift's attention.
"It's really become something way bigger than I expected," hesaid.
He said he has a sincere "celebrity crush" on the 19-year-oldsinger and would love to take her on a hot-air balloon ride orsomething similar.
"Everybody has a celebrity crush," Walton said. "The only thingthat's different about me is that I've put up a stupid video,trying to actually make it happen."
The move wasn't just a publicity stunt, he said, though it hasgotten him plenty of attention from news outlets across thecountry.
Swift's publicist said she knew of Walton but didn't want tocomment on his video or proposal.
Walton said music is far more important to him than fame.
"I'm not falling asleep at night and dreaming of stardom," hesaid. "I'm falling asleep at night and dreaming of the perfectsong."
The guitarist and singer has also gotten some attention onYouTube for documenting his push over the last five months tobecome a professional musician. He has posted several episodesonline titled "Six Months to Make It," which follow areality-show-type format.
He has surpassed his expectations over the last several months,he said, playing everywhere from the House of Blues in San Diego tothe front of a sandwich shop.
Next month, he will attend the University of SouthernCalifornia, where he will study popular music. He's one of only 14students who have been accepted into the pilot program at the LosAngeles university.
"I'm just very proud of him," his mother, Lynette Walton,said.
Their whole family feels the same way, she added.
"We all have found our place in this journey of Luke's," shesaid.
Earlier this month, they took a family trip to Nashville, whereWalton performed at various venues and got the attention of localtelevision and radio stations.
And what about his desire to date Swift?
"I approve," his mom said.

Q: Highlight Multiple Selected/Checked/Activated in ListView Wow, documentation is horrible when it comes to list item selection. All I need is to be able to select and highlight multiple items in a list. I've scoured the web and seen references to android:choiceMode="multipleChoice", which I'm guessing allows you to select multiple items. But where can I get the selected items in my Activity? And how come when I try to select multiple items using setSelection(position), the previously highlighted item disappears?
Google also describes in View.setActivated(boolean) that

Note that activation is not the same as selection. Selection is a transient property, representing the view (hierarchy) the user is currently interacting with. Activation is a longer-term state that the user can move views in and out of. For example, in a list view with single or multiple selection enabled, the views in the current selection set are activated. (Um, yeah, we are deeply sorry about the terminology here.)

So am I supposed to use activation instead of selection? This SO answer talks about how "activated" is just the post-HoneyComb version of "checked". But if you're supposed to use "activated" for multiple selection, whats the point of android:choiceMode="multipleChoice" in the first place?

A: So apparently I was led off the wrong track because I was supposed to be looking for highlighting "checked" items and not "selected" items. Thus, many answers told me to use the selector with my ListView layout using android:listSelector="@drawable/myselector, but what I really needed was to use the selector with my row layout. The solution is actually rather simple, I'll post it below:
drawable/rowbackgroundselector.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_activated="true"
    android:drawable="@android:color/holo_green_light"/>
</selector>

*

*note how you use "state_activated" to detect if an item is "checked"...

drawable/mylistrow.xml
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@android:id/text1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:background="@drawable/rowbackgroundselector"
    android:padding="10sp"
/>

*

*using the selector for the row background

MainActivity.onListItemClick()
public void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    getListView().setItemChecked(pos, true);
}

Lastly, make sure your adapter is using your custom row layout
mAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<FileTag>(this.getActivity(),
    R.layout.mylistrow, mList);

He holds a d Doctor of Ministry from Faith Evangelical Seminary in Tacoma, Washington and is a senior fellow of The Centre for the Study of Law and Public Policy at Oxford. Rev. Schenck is the author of the book, "Costly Grace".
Death and killing have their origin in evil, but the gospel of Christ is about God's gift of life: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10).
The law and purposes of God are directed toward fostering life, not the taking of life: "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live" (Deuteronomy 30:19).
When asked what were the greatest of God's commandments, Jesus said there were two, "Love God," and "Love your neighbor as yourself." Using a firearm defensively requires the user to focus on killing a fellow human being, presenting the temptation to treat others with suspicion and contempt, and to mete out revenge on them.
God limits the use of deadly force to a relative few in order to restrain and contain violence: "For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience" (Romans 13:3-5).
Fear should not be a motivator to take up lethal arms. The Bible is replete with commands not to fear: "[F]ear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10). "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me" (Psalm 23:4). "Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe" (Proverbs 29:25).
Fear can indicate a failure of faith and, therefore, can be a precursor to sin: "He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" (Mark 4:39-40) "For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin" (Romans 14:23b).
We are not to fear human beings, even if they intend on doing us bodily harm. Fear implies external control and we are only to be controlled by God: "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matthew 10:28).
Even if we intend to carry a weapon defensively, we can easily slip into an internal attitude that puts us on the offense and deludes us into falsely thinking we are more powerful than others, or, even the most powerful person in any encounter: "A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. Jesus said to them, 'The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves'" (Luke 22:24-27).
Ethically and morally, taking the overwhelmingly dominant role—especially a deadly one—in any human encounter is problematic for a Christian and is therefore a great concern in healthy Christian discipleship:" Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves" (Philippians 2:3).
"All things are lawful," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor." (1 Corinthians 10:23-24).
For these ten reasons and more, I believe it is urgent for Christians, especially pastors, Bible college and seminary professors, moral theologians, and others, to prayerfully, carefully, and biblically wrestle with the question of whether arming up is consistent with a life of discipleship and Christ-like witness to the world.


Keeping up with your turf upkeep is important, as it can affect its playability and quality. Over time, your infill may be moved around due to people tracking it from place to place to rain causing displacement. When the infill moves around, your grass will appear misshapen and downtrodden, giving in to the pressure of constant use. Displaced infill can affect the hardness of your field and lead to injuries from falls. Having your infill regularly checked and replaced can help extend the lifespan and functionality of your new field.
Your infill helps weigh your turf down, giving it a more natural appearance throughout the year. As temperatures change, the turf will expand and shrink in tune with the climate, and infill masks it from being obvious. Rubber infill keeps your grass standing straight, regardless of foot traffic, and adds a layer of protection to your absorption layer underneath.
How Often Should I Have My Infill Checked?
We recommend having your synthetic turf field routinely checked to make sure it is performing at its peak. At Turf Prep, we offer annual maintenance plans that involve six on-site visits to check your artificial grass. In addition to performing safety tests, seam inspections and examinations for general wear, our team will measure the total depth of your infill and add where more where appropriate, migrating excess rubber that has been moved around. Turf Prep will visit your facility three times in the spring and three times in the fall to keep your turf safe during peak playing season.
If you are interested in keeping your synthetic turf even and well-maintained, contact Turf Prep today! We will make sure your grass is pristine and game-ready all year. To schedule an appointment, Turf Prep can be reached by calling 1-877-774-8873 or by filling out our online form.

The Rental (2020) starts strong but can't stick the landing
July 20, 2020 Jonathan Berk Film Reviews Leave a comment
Dave Franco makes his directorial debut with a solid cast in a mediocre horror thriller. The Rental (2020) introduces Charlie (Dan Stevens) and Mina (Sheila Vand) as they are browsing possible getaway locations. They seem like a very happy couple until Josh (Jeremy Allen White), Charlie's brother and Mina's boyfriend, shows up, and it's revealed that Charlie and Mina are business partners on the brink of a major success. It's also revealed that this couple and Charlie's wife, Michelle (Alison Brie), will be staying at a rental property for a lovely weekend.
The overall tone of the film never quite builds the tension. The guy who rents the property – Taylor (Toby Huss) – is indicated to be racist, as Mina initially attempted to reserve the property and was denied only for Charlie to get it. This feels more like lip service, and never really manifests into anything more than superficial mistrust in the property owner. When the film wants to make the audience feel that someone may be watching the group, it never feels truly earned.
The first half of the film is enjoyable enough because the cast and characters they play feel lived in. However, the plot of the film feels underdeveloped, and the ending is anti-climactic. In some ways, it seems the story wants to shock you with the direction it goes – but it just feels half-baked instead. It's almost like the film started off as a drama, and at some point, they decided to make it a horror film instead.
The Rental isn't a horrible debut…but it isn't one that stands out, either. There are some flaws that simply make the movie forgettable in the end…especially the end. Use this film as another example of why Dan Stevens needs to be cast in more things. The Rental earns the Not a Total Waste of Time.

December 23rd, I cranked out part of an edition of a couple botanical blocks. The first was one of my favorite wildflowers, Shooting Stars. We can see them in the woods near home and up into the higher elevations of the Cascades.
The Camas & Shooting Star prints will be hand colored. Time for watercolor research to start! I've been contemplating Dr. Ph. Martin's watercolor inks but have not tried them out. A trip to an art shop might be in store for today.
Maria, you are one step closer to getting your print!
Back to work, I see.
I love your flowers so much Gale. One of them is going to end up as a tattoo at some point. Just gotta get brave!
We could just roll a print onto your leg so you can try it out! Maybe a sharpie?
