This recipe was from my Grandmother and is a great way to feed bluefish to people who otherwise might not touch it. The slightly larger blues also work perfectly with this recipe. It also works real well with Striped Bass. Don't hesitate to make plenty because not only will it disappear faster than you thought it would but it also warms up well.
Two good sized bluefish or bass filets; skinned and dark meat removed (unless those you are feeding like it).
Lightly saute 3 cups coarsely chopped onions and 1 cup chopped celery in olive oil. Toss in 2-3 cloves minced garlic and a handful of parsley when nearly cooked. When done melt ½ stick butter and add the entire mixture to a prepared stuffing mix. I usually use Pepperidge farms cornbread stuffing mix because the flavors don't have an overwhelming poultry seasoning flavor. (If you make the bread mix from scratch, just do the regular toasted and cubed bread thing and season with salt and pepper). Add a dash of salt, a few good shakes of black pepper, a dash of cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp. sugar and mix everything together. Have a can of chicken stock on hand to moisten the stuffing mix until it just holds together.
Place several strips of bacon in the large baking dish you will be using to cook the fish and place in oven while it preheats to 350 degrees. Remove when the bacon just begins to melt so that it will be just slightly precooked and fully cooked when the fish is done.
Thinly slice one lemon, and have another one halved for juice.
Place one filet in a baking dish. Press stuffing mix together with your hands and set on top of the filet down the whole length about 3" thick. Set the other filet on top heading in the same direction. Sprinkle with lemon juice and place the bacon strips diagonally across the top of the filet; add the lemon slices on top. Sprinkle with a little paprika.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 to 40 minutes depending on thickness of fish.
Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice diagonally and serve.
What do we do in the rain? ...get wet! Harper and Hoffman Hearn take their first plunge of the season in Katama Bay (near the breach) on a rainy day in May.
It's been a wet, dreary week, with only the occasional glimpse of sun passing so fast I never found the time to switch from boots to sandals. Coming out of an April that saw 5.23 inches of rain (an inch more than the average April), it seems reasonable to think about how – or if – this rain is related to climate change. Climate and weather are distinct, yet deeply connected. Since the weather is such a large presence in normal life (humans have surely been talking about the weather since the dawn of language), it's only natural that for most people, questions about unusual weather are the most common entrance to a discussion of climate change. Though it's not always welcome: Last night during a TV broadcast of a baseball game one announcer rather whimsically wondered whether the weather had anything to do with global warming, to which his partner replied, approximately, "Don't go there!" Well, why not go there? Some thoughts on two questions: Click HERE to read the full article.
Mya O'Neill, looking over a West Tisbury field that will never be developed thanks to forward thinking and generous property owners.
The decline in recent years in the number of donations of Conservation Restrictions on Vineyard land has to do in some measure with the failure of the tax code to keep pace with current land valuation realities. That is, IRS rules historically limited a landowner's deduction on a gift of a CR to just 30% of their declared income in the year of the gift, with an ability to carry forward the balance of the deduction for only five successive tax returns. So a landowner earning an average income would never be able to "use up" the tax deduction generated by a six or seven figure conservation gift.
That has finally changed, with new rules making it easier for a landowner to take full advantage of their deduction. The new rules, recently extended by Congress, raise the deduction for conservation giving to 50% of adjusted gross income per year, and extend the carry-forward period up to 15 years. For qualifying farmers (individuals or corporations) the deduction can be taken up to 100% of the donor's adjusted gross income in the year of the gift, with a 15-year carry-forward. Most donors should now benefit fully from their contribution. Let's hope this offers an incentive for Vineyard landowners to consider a gift of a CR on their land. Contact us if you are interested!
The alternative is a Vineyard Lawn. Start by preserving as many of the shrubs and trees on your property as you can. The root systems of these plants bind the soil and prevent silty run off. Make the grass area as small as possible and plant a mix of seeds-- fescue, rye and clover are much hardier and more drought-resistant than fussy bluegrass. Without herbicides, up to 50 species of plants and lichens can flourish in your Vineyard lawn. Left alone to flower and seed naturally, they'll provide habitat for butterflies, fireflies, bees and other wildlife and reward the eye with a variety of colors and textures.
Have you ever looked objectively at a dandelion or a clover blossom? Their shapes and colors are lovely. Just ask the bees and butterflies. Resist lime: Vineyard soil is naturally acidic and mosses thrive in it, adding rich cushions of emerald. Don't over water your grass; summer dormancy is normal and the golden-brown shades of August will refresh to green with September's natural rainfall. Keep mowing to a minimum, never cutting lower than three inches, and let the clippings fall where they may--they're a great natural fertilizer. In fall, spread a little organic compost and scatter a few native grass seeds (Blue Eyed Grass and Little Blue Stem are spectacular choices). In spring, your Vineyard lawn will reward you.
BEAUTY AND BRAINS?... A RAIN GARDEN!
A rain garden is a garden of deep rooted native plants, grasses and shrubs that is designed to absorb storm runoff from a roof, road or parking lot. Rain gardens are constructed by filling a basin in a low-lying area with a special soil blend, hearty plants, mulch and sometimes a layer of gravel.
Why should I make a rain garden?
Besides being beautiful, rain gardens prevent polluted storm water from entering our streams, ponds and bays. Rain gardens also help replenish our single source aquifer and our ponds by recharging rainwater into the ground rather than the storm drains. In fact, rain gardens absorb 30% more water than the same size area of lawn!
Where can I find a rain garden near me?
Tisbury Waterways Inc. recently planted a beautiful rain garden near the parking lot of the Vineyard Haven Yacht Club.
As Earth warms, powerful storms are becoming the new normal.
Overhead, tall, dense clouds are poised to burst, their presence a sign of an imminent deluge.
These cumulonimbus masses are a reminder of the destructive floods that are occurring around the globe, which, taken together, are potent signals of one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time: global warming.
Powerful rain and snow storms—and, ironically, intense drought periods—are a well-known consequence of a warmer planet.

Western analysts and leaders, it was first of all a surprise. President Reagan received his copy only hours before the statement was read on Soviet television. Reporters in Moscow were told in advance only that Mr. Gorbachev would extend the moratorium on nuclear tests. But the Soviet leader also offered a timetable to rid the world of nuclear weapons by the year 2000, culminating in a universal accord against such arms. He extended for three months the unilateral Soviet ban on nuclear tests and proposed to accelerate negotiations on European security, chemical weapons and conventional forces.
The first Western reaction was a mixture of interest, cautious encouragement and irritation at the method of delivery - the surprise announcement and the play to public opinion.
But all agreed that the statement was a tour de force. Into a single dramatic package, timed to the start of the ''international year of peace'' proclaimed by the United Nations and to a new session of the Geneva disarmament talks, Mr. Gorbachev blended propaganda, existing proposals and tantalizing hints of significant concessions.
He stuck to the central Soviet demand that Washington abandon its space-based defense program before progress on arms controls could be made, although he skirted the question of how much research could be permitted. Mr. Reagan has refused to budge on ''Star Wars.'' Mr. Gorbachev also insisted that the United States must join the Soviet moratorium on testing. But his wording was sufficiently broad and ambiguous to deflect an outright rejection by Washington and to encourage exploration at the negotiating table.
Last week's Soviet initiative drove home once again the new dynamism that Mr. Gorbachev has brought to the Soviet leadership. After years of unimaginative stonewalling during the declining days of Leonid I. Brezhnev and the lieutenants who briefly replaced him, Yuri V. Andropov and Konstantin U. Chernenko, American officials have had to contend with an activist who plays the game with the panache of a statesman.
Though diplomats found the overall proposal utopian and propagandistic, they were intrigued by elements that seemed to signal significant changes in Soviet negotiating positions. Most interesting was a proposal to eliminate American and Soviet medium-range missiles in Europe during the first stage, without accounting for British and French missiles. In the past, the Russians have insisted on keeping enough SS-20's trained on Europe to take out these independent arsenals. Mr. Gorbachev's suggestion seemed to approach the ''zero option'' offered by Mr. Reagan at the now-defunct talks on medium-range missiles, even though the Soviet leader still called for the elimination of the British and French missiles in a second stage. Diplomats also noted that Mr. Gorbachev seemed to bend over backward to appear forthcoming on the question of verifying agreements.
Many an arms-control proposal has foundered on American dissatisfaction with the mechanisms for verifying compliance.
The dismantling of nuclear weapons, Mr. Gorbachev insisted, would be verified both ''by national technical means'' - usually taken to mean satellite surveillance - ''and through on-site inspections,'' the method most often demanded by the Americans and resisted by the Russians. Furthermore, he said, ''the U.S.S.R. is ready to reach agreement on any other additional verification measures.'' He was not specific, but diplomats said the comment at least signaled a readiness to explore the subject in negotiations. Mr. Gorbachev gave additional verification assurances in discussing a moratorium on nuclear explosions. And he suggested a new mechanism for keeping tabs on the numbers of troops in Europe, ''permanent verification posts'' to be set up at access points.
Mr. Gorbachev even offered a compromise for the little-noted Stockholm conference on security-building measures in Europe. A stumbling block there has been Western resistance to Soviet calls for advance notification of military maneuvers on land, sea or air. The Western powers say the 1975 Helsinki pact calls only for notification on land. Mr. Gorbachev suggested he might drop the demand for notification of sea maneuvers.
Intriguing as they found the Soviet proposals, however, some Western officials were irritated that Mr. Gorbachev had launched them so abruptly in public, rather than at the diplomatic negotiating table. The tactic, they said, might place Western negotiators on the defensive, but it could also encourage the sort of public bickering and sparring that has marred past negotiations. ''We think the nitty-gritty and the business of serious negotiation has to be done in private so that one side doesn't play against the other or use it for propaganda tactics,'' said Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman.
And the prospects for agreement on far-reaching arms control measures, which eventually must be ratified by the Senate, were inexorably bound up with the Soviet record in other spheres - the military occupation of Afghanistan, for example, and Soviet support, however indirect, for terrorist groups and their sponsors such as Libya's Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.
It was at the negotiating table, ''in private,'' that the overall scheme and its intriguing parts would be tested and explored. Yet it was hard to deny that the ball, in diplomatic parlance, was in Washington's court.
THE KREMLIN PROPOSAL rr1. The Soviet Union proposes that, over five to eight years, each side reduce by 50 percent the number of nuclear weapons that can reach the other's territory and renounce development, testing and deployment of space-based weapons. United States and Soviet medium-range missiles would be removed from Europe, and France and Britain would agree not to increase their nuclear arsenals. The Americans and Russians would agree to stop nuclear testing. Moscow extended its moratorium on nuclear tests for 90 days.
The United States rejects curbs on space-based defense weapons. It suggests that the nuclear test moratorium is a Soviet ploy during a fallow period and says it must continue testing to develop new weapons, insure the reliability of existing ones and conduct research on nuclear components of the ''Star Wars'' program. United States is also wary of medium-range Soviet SS-20's remaining in Asia. 2. Starting in 1990, other countries would freeze their nuclear arsenals and agree not to deploy them outside their own borders. All countries would stop nuclear weapons tests. The United States and Soviet Union would continue reductions agreed on in the first stage, to a total of 6,000 missile warheads and bombs each capable of reaching each other's territory, and would eliminate remaining medium-range nuclear weapons. Tactical nuclear weapons with a range of less than 642 miles would also be eliminated.


Mother Brain: "Metroid Mirror, on the wall...am I the cutest of them all?"
Metroid Mirror: "Princesss Lana is the cutest chick. You're so ugly, you make me sick!"
Captain N: The Game Master is a Nintendo-lovin' California kid named Kevin who, during a particularly rousing game of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!, finds himself mysteriously sucked into his Nintendo console (a very real danger, you may recall, in 1989). With his dog Duke, he is to become the hero and champion of "Videoland," sort of a video game Grand Central Station, linking the entire game universe. Given a power-enhancing game controller belt and a Duck Hunt-style light gun, he's charged with protecting workout-video refugee Princess Lana and her kingdom from the trash-talkin' Mother Brain, a monstrously stretched face in a jar from the game Metroid. Videoland is made up of warp zones which connect to various lands famous from video games: Kong-o-land, Castlevania, Metroid, Tetris... uh... -land, et cetera. Sadly, perhaps, there's no Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!-land.
The routine is pretty much what you'd expect: every week, Mother Brain and her evil minions threaten Videoland, and Kevin is called upon to protect it. Fortunately, Princess Lana is tougher than she looks, and has other friends to help: the diminutive Mega Man, Kid Icarus, and Castlevania's Simon Belmont. The bad guys? Typically the bumbling Eggplant Wizard from Kid Icarus and King Hippo from Punch-Out. In keeping with the premise, other heroes and villains pop up occasionally, with Donkey Kong raising frequent heck in Season One and Zelda and Link visiting in Season Two. That's absolutely the best part of the show: even though the formula is pretty static, you never know where the gang will wind up next. It's fun watching these classic games represented onscreen, and any kid would want to be in Kevin's shoes and popping into his favorite video games. Like in the classic The Last Starfighter, Kevin is called upon because he's such a darn good video game player, and not because he stopped to take out the trash or clean his room. Take that, mom.
The show is almost brilliant in its simplicity, and in its shamelessness. The second season even begins by introducing the representative of the new product line: "Game Boy," the delightful (blech) Scrappy-Doo of this particular series. Captain N appeared on telvision near the end of the true glory days of the Saturday cartoon-as-commercial genre, and it almost works along those lines. There's something pretty cool about the idea that all of your favorite video games are part of a shared universe, and it's great to watch Kevin bounce around among them. Problem is, the show doesn't really go very far with that idea. The animation is just OK, even for the time, but the show's real fatal flaw is the poor characterization. They cast is just plain annoying, almost to the last. Kevin is appropriately charming and noble, as is the Princess, but almost all of the ancillary characters have quirks that cause me to remember the video games in which they starred far less fondly. Kid Icarus, for instance, adds a squeaky-voiced "-icus" to the end of random words. Simon Belmont is ridiculously fey. It's the kind of stuff that kids probably enjoyed for a few episodes, but undercuts any sense of adventure. It also strikes me as a peculiarly bad marketing strategy: is it really a good idea to play off your best action properties for laughs? Maybe that, as much as for the ratings, is the reason that the show lasted for just over two seasons. It admirably strives to be a bit more than one big commercial, but can't decide whether to be a fantasy-adventure for older kids or a series of silly escapades for the youngest. Not surprisingly, in trying to sell to everyone, it becomes a mush.
I haven't made this cartoon review very kid-centric, only because I don't see kids as the market for the release. To newcomers, this will play as a middling 23-minute commercial for products that were big just over 15 years ago. Among the episodes that I enjoyed most, Simon the Ape Man and Quest for the Potion of Power involved two games that I enjoyed as a kid: Donkey Kong and Zelda respectively, and I suspect that it'll be the same for other viewers. This is DVD nostalgia, plain and simple, and it's going to be a pretty straight shot of it for people who watched the cartoon or were big into the whole Nintendo scene back when Nintendo was huge. Even though I was about the right age, that wasn't really me on either count, and as a result this fell flat. Still, Kevin and Duke are easy to root for in their struggles against Mother Brain and her evil minions, and it's fun seeing where they'll go next. If you're not like me, and you remember the stuff fondly, you'll definitely get a kick out of seeing the heroes and villains of the games that you pored over fight it out one more time.
On a slightly more technical note, it's worth noting that the "Complete Series" label is a bit confusing. After the second season of the show, the episode length was cut to fifteen minutes and the final seven episodes were run as the back-end of the Super Mario World cartoon. This set includes just those first two seasons of Captain N (minus a second-season clip show). Not necessarily fatal, but certainly something for collectors to keep in mind.
Image Transfer Review: For the most part, there isn't much to complain about with these transfers, even if there isn't much to crow about, either. The color fades in places, with a bit of grain and scratchiness throughout, so it doesn't appear that the images were cleaned up. Still, the source elements seem to have held up fairly well.
Audio Transfer Review: The Dolby Digital 2.0 track is a bit flat, with some mild fading out in spots. Still, considering the source material, it's perfectly adequate.
Extras Review: Each disc includes Character Bios, which are brief video introductions to the various characters with stats, descriptions, and concept sketches. Similarly, there is also one Exploring Videoland segment per disc. These are stills slideshows with original concept art for the various realms of the show. Not much to either of those, but the archival art material is a nice inclusion.
The main extra is Captain Nintendo, a six-page text story from Nintendo Power magazine on which the show was based. It's a fun, brisk read, and significantly different in many respects from the series.
If you played a lot of video games in the days when Nintendo was king, then you'll probably enjoy this Shout! Factory release as a fun shot of nostalgia, in spite of the missing (short) third season. All others beware: the show is a minor cult item, but there isn't much here for newcomers to appreciate.


In their home country of Sweden ABBA had a strong following among record-buyers from the word go, and Australia is famous for its 18 months of unrivalled ABBA frenzy. But outside of those unique markets, few countries have been more loyal to the group than Great Britain – although for a while it looked as if ABBA would be forever regarded as one hit wonders on the British Isles.
"It's just like an incredible dream," Björn Ulvaeus told a British reporter when ABBA's 'Waterloo' single reached the top of the UK singles chart in May 1974. "It's always been our ambition to get a record to number one in Britain – it means more than a number one in the States to us. You see, for years Britain has been at the top – the headquarters of pop music." Björn wasn't just being polite to the reporter; he and Benny Andersson were truly "children" of the Swingin' Sixties, with The Beatles and all the other bands and cultural phenomena that emerged out of Great Britain. When they first started out as song writers in the mid-Sixties, success in England must have seemed like an impossible fantasy for the Sweden-based duo, a holy grail to be coveted. For although from a production point of view they always acknowledged an influence from American names such as Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, it was the song writing talents of Brits John Lennon and Paul McCartney and the stylistic versatility of The Beatles that set the benchmark for what they wanted to achieve with ABBA.
But while the group found it relatively easy to charm audiences and the music business in northern and central Europe, initially they encountered some resistance in Great Britain. The first single to be released in the UK, 'Ring Ring', had been turned down by labels such as Polydor, EMI, Decca, Pye and WEA. It wasn't until Paul Atkinson, the newly-employed A n' R man at Epic (a label owned by CBS Records), heard the song that it finally was released. "I played it all the time in the office to the point of driving everyone nuts," he told Mojo magazine many years later. "It would be my first signing and it became a bit of a joke around the building that I wanted to sign this obscure Swedish group. Atkinson's Folly they called it." Initially, his signing of ABBA did indeed appear to be less than a wise decision, for upon release in October 1973 'Ring Ring' failed to chart and sold no more than 5,000 copies.
Atkinson was finally proved right six months later, when 'Waterloo' was released. With the invaluable support provided by ABBA's win in the Eurovision Song Contest, not to mention a few strategic appearances on the popular Top Of The Pops television programme, this super-catchy slice of glam-pop ended up spending two weeks at number one. Although one would have thought it would be plain sailing for ABBA in Great Britain after such a convincing breakthrough, what followed was actually a series of disasters, which seemed to erase all the success achieved with 'Waterloo'. For a follow-up, Epic Records commissioned a special remix of 'Ring Ring', with added saxophone and heavier guitar parts to remind audiences of the 'Waterloo' sound. The single never got higher than number 32 on the UK chart. The next single, 'So Long', was another 'Waterloo' sound-alike and failed to chart completely. ABBA fared little better with their next UK single, the romantic 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do', which reached number 38 in the summer of 1975.
So what was the reason for these astonishing failures immediately after such a splendid success? Pop music history is full of so called one-hit-wonders, who may achieve an enormous triumph but then only reach the lower-region of the charts with their attempted follow-ups, if they even chart at all. For ABBA, it didn't help that they had come to the world's attention via Eurovision, where one-hit-wonder status is almost guaranteed. Reflected Björn many years later, "It's incredible that a song contest was branded like that in England: 'All right, now they've won that, which means that they are stone dead afterwards.' It was like an agreement among all the DJs and among everybody else." Add in the fact that ABBA came from Sweden – like most non-English-speaking countries viewed as a joke in terms of pop music at the time – and it's not so hard to see why the British music industry was prepared to write them off so quickly. It certainly seemed as if Epic Records were also losing faith in the group; according to Björn, their arrivals in London for promotional visits were greeted with increasingly less enthusiasm for every single that bombed. In hindsight, it also seems clear that the 'Waterloo' follow-up singles were incorrect choices. For instance, had the UK gone with 'Honey, Honey', like most other countries did, they would almost certainly have achieved greater success than with the 'Ring Ring' remix – while ABBA couldn't even make it into the Top 30, a cover version by the duo Sweet Dreams took 'Honey, Honey' into the Top Ten.
Indeed, for the next six years or so, ABBA could do little wrong in Great Britain. After 'Mamma Mia' had topped the chart, 'Fernando' followed hot on its heels. The group eventually achieved 18 consecutive Top Ten singles and a total of nine number ones, with 'Dancing Queen' as their biggest success with six weeks at the top. When the Greatest Hits album was released in March 1976, it went on to spend 130 weeks on the charts, occupying the number one spot for a total of 11 weeks and becoming Britain's second-biggest-selling album of the Seventies. Moreover, Greatest Hits was the first of eight consecutive chart-topping ABBA albums in the UK, a mind-bogglingly impressive run that ended with The Singles – The First Ten Years in 1982.
Likewise, once ABBA had secured their position as one of the most successful pop music acts in Great Britain, there was never any doubt that they would be a highly attractive live act. Although there were tentative plans for concerts in England and Scotland during ABBA's first tour of Europe in 1974, they never materialised when interest in the group declined so rapidly. When they finally made their first UK concerts, in February 1977, the situation couldn't have been more different. According to legend, there were 3.5 million ticket applications for ABBA's two shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, and one would imagine people were clamouring for tickets to the dates in Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow as well. ABBA toured Britain only one more time, in November 1979, when they did six shows at London's Wembley Arena, two shows in Stafford and one in Glasgow. Needless to say, the demand for ABBA tickets far exceeded the supply, and they could probably have extended their itinerary without having to worry about faltering ticket sales.
Although ABBA's UK album sales remained solid and strong right up until their very last release in 1982, that year proved to be a disappointment in terms of singles. Coming right after 'One Of Us', a solid Top Three hit, 'Head Over Heels' only reached number 25, their lowest-charting single since 'I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do'. ABBA's final two singles – 'The Day Before You Came' and 'Under Attack' – fared no better than 32 and 26, respectively. No doubt this dramatic slide down the UK charts jolted the members a little. As Agnetha recalled, "It became a habit that every single should reach number one in England. That was just how things should be." One can only speculate about the reasons for this sudden decline in ABBA's fortunes on the singles chart, but certainly the group's efforts to reinvent themselves had taken them into a more complex, mature and sometimes aloof territory, where single buyers looking for catchy hits were less prepared to follow them. Mentally, it seemed, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus already had their sights set on the stage musicals that would be their future. After a decade as a pop act, they were prepared to leave the hit singles to the many bright young things that were only too anxious to get a stab at the pop charts – many of whom made no secret of their limitless admiration for ABBA.
While there were few signs of ABBA in the UK charts for the remainder of the Eighties, it wasn't like they were completely forgotten. There may not have been any high-profile coverage of the group in the media, but all sorts of compilation albums kept selling in healthy quantities on the quiet. Then, exactly a decade after the group's final recordings, enough time had passed for people to get nostalgic about them. With the release of the immensely successful 1992 hits collection, ABBA Gold – masterminded from Great Britain – ABBA shot to number one all over the world again. It seems ABBA Gold was especially successful in the UK, where it reached the number one spot in three separate time-periods, the second time in conjunction with the 1999 hoopla surrounding the 25th anniversary of ABBA's Eurovision win and the opening of the Mamma Mia! musical, and then the third time in conjunction with the film version of Mamma Mia!. To date ABBA Gold has spent well over 300 weeks on the chart and sold more than 4 million copies to make it one of the best-selling albums of all time in Great Britain.
The British population may have been a little uncertain whether they would want to embrace ABBA wholeheartedly back in 1974 – but they have certainly made up for it since.

The Buffalo Bills made it perfectly clear when they fired special teams coach Danny Crossman that his units needed to be far better than they were in 2018, and they took another step in their quest for that improvement with the Thursday signing of Senorise Perry.
This comes on the heels of their signing of ace returner Andre Roberts, who last season led the NFL in kickoff returns and yards.
A running back by trade, Perry has earned his stripes in the NFL as a special teams' gunner of punts and on kickoff coverage. He has only eight career rushing attempts for 30 yards in 48 career NFL games, all of those in 2017 with Miami.
Perry played his college ball at Louisville where he played in 32 games over three seasons, rushing for 1,409 yards on 289 carries, and caught 36 passes for 359 yards.
After the draft, he signed with the Bears and played in 16 games, all on special teams, where he forced two fumbles and made a team-high eight tackles. But in 2015 and 2016, he never got on the field for the Bears or, after he was released, the Dolphins.
After two years in the wilderness, finally, in 2017, Perry earned his way back into the lineup and in the last two years with Miami he returned 18 kickoffs for a 20.3 average, and in 2018 he led the Dolphins with nine special teams' tackles.
Dolphins offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said of Perry last year that he really worked to improve his game from 2017 to 2018.
Perry attended Chattooga County High School in Georgia, where he was a standout running back and linebacker and also won the state championship in the 100-meter dash and long jump in track.

In V4.5 we made the huge changes to implement the multi-vendor feature. We also added List Module and upgraded to ASP.NET 4.0.
There are many people asking for multi-vendor support. If you have purchased from Amazon.com or Buy.com you will notice that there are many third party merchants are selling via these websites. Our multi-vendor feature is basically to enable you to have third party merchants selling via your eCommerce website. You can create a vendor account for each vendor which can be used to log into your site, add products and set up configuration e.g. shipping, tax rates etc. However vendor doesn't have the ability to define his own payment methods. The payment methods are set by site admin so that the end users can make one checkout and place one order which consists of items from different vendors. Upon receiving the order DotShoppingCart will split the entire order into shipments according to the vendors that will be fulfilling the shipments. Once vendors make their own shipments as shipped. The entire order will be completed.
Now browsing all the available themes is simplified as a list of theme thumbnails.
You can now import and export themes with just one click.
Tax report will help you prepare for filing local sale tax.
We have a few pre-defined product detail pages. If you don't like any of those you can now have a way to customize the product detail page by defining a template using token and HTMLs. You don't need to write code in order to customize product detail page.
You can now define a template for each category and manufacturer. For example you would like run a promote ads on one category. You can now update the template of the category that you want to run ads on.

If you are looking for a natural hair regrowth product with guaranteed results and 100% safe to use. You should try Provillus with 0 risk and you can get 2 month supply for free now! If you are looking for the honest provillus review you don't need to look any where else because in this site they will get all they are looking for. Those who are thinking of trying the product can learn a few things about this wonderful product. Here they will get all information about ingredients, how the product works and how it should be used.
In the market today there are many hair loss products but many of those are manufactured using toxic chemicals that cause many side effects including sexual dysfunction.
Pacific Naturals have developed a natural way of dealing with hair loss in both men and women. This product is called provillus, which is very effective in dealing with hair loss.
The tropical solution in this product contains minoxidil which is the only ingredient approved by the FDA and it is clinically proven to make hair grow again naturally. This substance is a blood vessel dilator which contains anti-androgen properties. It stimulates the hair follicles to produce thick hair and at the same time it rejuvenates the damaged and the dying hair follicles to health.
The capsule provided contains nutritious substances that are required by the hair follicle so that it can spring back to life again. This capsule contains such ingredients like vitamin B6, magnesium and Biotin which boost one's overall health and at the same time boosting hair production.
Provillus has two formulas, one for men and the other one for women. The ingredients in the capsules are indicated on the label of the product. The active ingredients of Provillus is Minoxidil. The only ingredient approved by the FDA with effective re-growth effect. Unlike the other hair regrowth products, Provillus contained different concentrations of Provillus for females and males based on wide clinical research results which guaranteed most effective results. Plus, it's manufacture by Pacific Naturals guarantees its high quality.
Before explaining how the product work it is good to first understand why people lose hair and what Dihydrotestostrone (DMT) means. DMT is a by-product of testosterone and it is the one responsible for making the life of hair follicles short. This happens when it attaches itself to the hair follicle interrupting it growth. This usually starts as the person start to get old. The hair follicle gets thinner, weaker and finally it dies all together.
After understanding this it will be easier for people to know that the first cause of action of any hair loss product is to inhibit DHT hence preventing hair lose. Provillus is manufactured in two formulas for men and women and therefore we will discus how each one of them work.
In the male version provillus helps to block DHT, although it does not interfere with testosterone in any way, through this hair lose is stopped in men regardless of their age and the level they have lost their hair. After stopping more hair loss provillus supplies the body with the required nutrients that will help in repairing and rejuvenating the damaged and the dead hair follicles. This product enables men to regrow and retain their hair regardless of their age.
In the female version provillus helps to restore natural hormonal balance, when the hormone balance is restored to normal the body stimulates growth and rejuvenation of the hair follicles preventing more hair loss and at the same time helping the lost hair to regrow. Provillus is very essential in nourishing dead hair follicles in women and stopping further hair loss.
Provillus is very different from other hair loss product because it consists of pills and topical treatments. One will be treating their hair both from the inside and the outside. This is different from other products because many are purely topical.
Provillus is offered as two separate products, which are a topical solution and a dietary supplement in form of a capsule. Both men and women use the product in the same way.
The topical solution should be applied in dry hair. Apply one dropper of the solution every morning and make sure that it is rubbed evenly on the hair and the scarp until it dries. It dries faster and make sure to wash the hand well after application.
These capsules are dietary supplements and adults should take two capsule with food and enough water or as directed by the physician.
Provillus have been proven in various clinical trials involving many men and women. Some people wonder how long they will use the product for results to be seen but different people reports different waiting periods. There are some who get their results in a few weeks while others wait for up to six months.
As always with all kind of treatments, different people respond differently to drugs. Although it is also good to consider the condition of the hair and the stage of hair loss each individual using provillus is experiencing.
Those who want to regrow or stop hair loss should take a step early because chances of the hair to regrow reduce as one looses more hair.
There are no documented side effects from using provillus because the product is 100% natural and it is approved by FDA. This product is manufactured by Pacific Naturals which is one of the leading companies in manufacturing a wide range of high quality homeopathic products.
However people should know that the male version contains saw palmetto which can be dangerous to unborn babies. This is the reason why this ingredient is not included in the female version. There are some evidence that Saw Palmetto cause difficulties and urinating.
It is also good for people with any kind of medical condition to seek medical advice from their doctor before using this product, although it is very safe to maintain or re-grow the hair with provillus.
– If a person orders for a supply of six months they will get a two months free supply enabling them to save $79. – Those ordering for four months will get a one month free supply saving them $39.
– It has nutritious support for the immune system, skin. Nails and prostate health.
– People on other drugs should get a doctor prescription.
Provillus is a product that is highly recommended to people who would want to prevent hair los or to regrow their hair. Although it might take some time to see results it is rated as the best product in the market by a majority of people who have used it and got impressive results, therefore it is very worthy trying it.
Get Provillus 2 months supply free!
I bought Provillus for male for my husband last year. It stoped hair loss just within 1 week or so. Although it took a little longer to see the hair come back, it's one of the best non-scalp hair regrowth supplements!
After used one week, it helps prevent my hair losing. Will keep trying. How many months should I use?
According to the past experience offered by the other users, one should at least use 3 bottles to get the desired results.
dont know y there're so many scam around about Provillus. I have tried around 30 products for hair regrowth in the past 3 years. Provillus is the best one! I also recomment to apply ginger juice on your scalp. By combining these 2 methods, it works like wonders! I have recommended my little tricks to 3 friends and they all see very quick results!
I also heard of ginger juice treatment for hair regrowth. For a part of users it's effective. You can try it but I recommend that you test before using, if you are allergic to it or not.
I;m going to try it, any side effects ever found?
As far as I know, it's very safe to use because the ingredients are FDA approved. It's hard to get approved by FDA unless they can pass many clinical studies.

Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hungary
Title: Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hungary
Subject: Orthodoxy in Hungary, Faith Church, Hungary, Baptist Union of Hungary, Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany, Protestant Church in the Netherlands
The Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Hungary (in Hungarian Magyarországi Evangélikus Egyház) is a Protestant Lutheran denomination in Hungary. In 2013, there were 192,816 baptized members.[1] The church has three bishops in nearly 300 parishes using 500 places of worship in Hungary.
Lutheranism came early in the Hungarian realms, but was repressed by the Roman Catholic Habsburgs dynasty. During the "Mourning Decade" (1671-1681) the Hungarian Lutherans, (along with the Reformed Church in Hungary) was severely persecuted. There was a renewal with Pietism and the Deed of Tolerance issued by the emperor Joseph II in 1781 granted religious freedom and the Protestant churches were fully recognized after the restoration of the sovereignty of Hungary in 1867.
The church is member of the World Council of Churches, the Conference of European Churches, Ecumenical Council of Churches in Hungary, the Lutheran World Federation, and the Community of Protestant Churches in Europe.

The Liverpool moment that started a long-standing feud between Emmanuel Frimpong and Samir Nasri
The pair clashed after Samir Nasri moved to Manchester City but also never saw eye-to-eye during their time in North London

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has revealed the details of his long-standing feud with former colleague Samir Nasri, who he describes as a 'bully'.
Frimpong, now retired from football, became something of a cult hero during his time in North London despite making only 16 senior appearances, with him being mostly remembered for his social media presence.
His relationship with Nasri was always frosty though and he has now detailed the issues he had with the France international, including how his sending off against Liverpool was the trigger for the clash.
"I have always had so much respect for senior players. You can ask Aaron Ramsey, you can ask Jack Wilshere. I never disrespected anybody," he told The Athletic .
Ray Parlour reveals how far away Arsenal are from competing with Man City and Liverpool
"But for me, the truth is I've never liked Nasri and I will never, ever like this guy. Even if he gives me five billion dollars, I will still not like him.
"After the game [against Liverpool], everybody came into the changing room and Arsene [Wenger] was quiet, you know. Obviously, he was disappointed about the result but he was quiet.
"He didn't talk, and then Nasri basically stood up in front of everybody and said we lost the game because of me.
"OK, I can understand that, but I was thinking, 'why would somebody - especially me playing, I think that was like my second game - why would any professional do that to a young player in that kind of moment?"
Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp get massive injury boost ahead of Arsenal visit
Things then became heated during a bad-tempered Carling Cup tie in 2011, following Nasri's move to City, where the pair faced off post-game and had to be separated by their respective teammates.
"During the game, he told me he could buy me. That's how stupid this guy is. He probably could then because he had millions, but that's no respect."

Following Singapore, Philippines regulator forces Grab to delay closing Uber's app
Grab has given the Uber app a stay of execution in yet another market as regulators across Southeast Asia continue to investigate the merger deal announced between the ride-hailing companies last month.
Fresh from extending the closure date a week in Singapore, Grab has done the same in the Philippines, a spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch. This extension follows an order from the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) made over the weekend, and it now means that Uber's app will cease running in the country on April 16.
Elsewhere, Grab shuttered the Uber app in its six other markets in Southeast Asia today as planned, two weeks after the merger deal was confirmed. As for UberEats, that app will live on in the region until the end of May, after which it will be folded into GrabFood.
It appears that Grab didn't count on Southeast Asia's regulators being so intent to probe the tie-up.
The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) said last month that it had "reasonable grounds" to suspect that the deal may fall foul of section 54 of Singapore's Competition Act, while the PCC voiced similar concerns last week.
"This move by Uber in the Philippine market leads to further substantial concentration of what is, to begin with, an already highly concentrated ride-sharing market. This virtual monopolization of the market by Grab can harm the riding public," the organization's chairman Arsenio M. Balisacan wrote in a statement.
That was countered by Uber, which argued that it is no longer in business in the region.
"Uber exited eight markets, including the Philippines, as of Monday. Now, I look after 10 markets, instead of 18. Our funding is gone. Our people are gone. We don't intend to come back to these markets," Brooks Entwistle, head of Uber's Asia Pacific business, told the PCC at a hearing on Friday, according to Rappler.
If Uber is gone, who will run the app? That's a valid question raised by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) in the Philippines, which pointed out that consumer safety could be compromised without customer services and other Uber teams.
For now, Grab is stepping up and running the Uber app at its own cost, the company has confirmed. That may keep the lights on, but Grab-operating the Uber doesn't really address the core issue of the PCC which is competition between two players. On that count, Uber has already left the building.
An excerpt from Grab's (long) statement to the PCC is below:
Considering that Uber has exited the region on 25 March and clearly stated during the public hearing its incapacity to fund the operations in the Philippines, the parties have agreed to keep the Uber app operational with Grab bearing the costs, to give drivers and consumers time to adjust to Uber's departure. In the spirit of cooperating with the PCC, Grab has also agreed to continue to bear the costs of the Uber app extension (from March 25 to April 8) until April 15, 2018. Our understanding from the PCC is that this interim arrangement, which was fully explained to the PCC, is not a breach of its Order.
Grab wishes to clarify that, although the Uber app continues to operate, it has limited functionality and little or no support. Grab noted that the LTFRB has expressed concerns pertaining to customer support and safety issues arising from Uber's limited operations. Grab wishes to stress that this interim arrangement is only for the purposes of satisfying what the PCC appears to require until Grab is able to discuss with the PCC.
We hope that the PCC will sit with the parties to hear their sides and give a fair assessment of the concerns expressed by both parties and that any other action taken would take into account the practical hurdles that may lie across the parties' paths.

Work has started on a fishway to allow fish on the NSW South Coast to pass unimpeded up and down Currowan Creek, approximately 20 kilometres north-west of Batemans Bay, said Industry and Investment NSW conservation manager, Scott Nichols.
"Many native fish need to migrate as part of their life cycle — accessing estuarine environments to breed, with adults and juveniles returning to freshwaters to grow and mature," said Nichols.
"But the current causeway structure at Currowan Creek, which is a tributary of the Clyde River, acts as a fish passage barrier until it is overtopped in high flows, "he said.
Nichols said a full width rock ramp fishway aims to create a series of pools and small "steps" within a channel that allow fish to negotiate the rise in water level that is present across the causeway. Either side of the channel, rocks are placed to enable fish passage at higher flows.
"The threatened Australian grayling is likely to be one species that will benefit from these works, with other species such as the recreationally important Australian bass, and smaller species such as common jollytail also using the fishway," added Nichols.
Minor interruptions to traffic are expected as the work is completed.

any help is highly appreciated ................

A: Hey Prateek I think you should use LEFT OUTER JOIN.
Check this,
What joins does SQLite support?
According to this LEFT JOIN = LEFT OUTER JOIN but the keyword LEFT OUTER JOIN in supported in SQLite3.

A: As seen here you need to do LEFT OUTER JOIN like this:
SELECT Location_Diners.Dining_Time,
  Location_Diners.First_Name,
  Location_Diners.Last_Name,
  Location_Diners.PartySize,
  Location_Diners.Diner_ID,
  Location_Diners.DinerStatusColor_ID,
  Location_Diners.Notes,
  Location_Diners.Diner_ID,
  Location_SeatedDiners.Table_ID
FROM Location_Diners
LEFT OUTER JOIN Location_SeatedDiners ON Location_Diners.Diner_ID=Location_SeatedDiners.Diner_ID

In early 1991, a cotton farmer engaged a project manager / architect, structural engineer and geotechnical consultant [which was a large multi-discipline corporation] to advise on the design and construction of a very large house in the black soil country of Moree. The site was close to the Mehi River, and was subject to infrequent flooding; as such, it was necessary to construct a large earth mound to raise the floor level of the building above flood level.
The resulting design for the house was a very substantial concrete raft slab on a gravelly clay mound, with edge beams nearly 1 m deep; the earth mound & house was then constructed under the supervision of the project manager and structural engineer, and completed in mid-1992.
assist in the subsequent litigation.
By early 1994, it became apparent that the raft footing system had failed, with the amount of edge heave of the slab, as compared to the centre part of the slab, exceeding 230 mm. In effect, the house was seriously bent in the middle and suffered serious internal damage.
In the ensuing litigation, the liability for the damage ended up being borne by the project manager / architect and structural engineer. Also, whilst it was clear to all concerned that the geotechnical consultant had grossly underestimated the shrink / swell movement of the soil, the geotechnical consultant escaped liability because after the house had been constructed, the geotechnical company that had provided the geotechnical advice had been wound up and taken over by a different overseas owned corporation.


Land Development Feasibility Studies & Entitlement | Forsgren Associates, Inc.
It can be challenging to ascertain the feasibility of a project because of the universe of hidden costs. The experienced development team at Forsgren Associates provides objective cost estimates for every project element so that our clients can determine whether it "pencils out." A key part of development costs can be the entitlement process. Depending upon the size and complexity of the development, this effort can be complicated and time consuming… and perhaps make or break the project. Our pro forma development and Project Development/Management Plans are appropriately detailed and comprehensive. We routinely provide feasibility studies and work through the entitlement process across a wide range of development types and jurisdictions.


There's more competition than ever for your members and prospects' time, attention and money. How do you rise above the noise? There's a lot of buzz about new technologies in the health club industry to help you do just that. You hear terms like lead management systems and marketing automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning and wonder how it relates to you as a health club operator.
One technology that should be on your radar in the face of an increasingly competitive club environment is AI.
AI is the way of the future, and the future is here. A study by Gartner predicts that by 2020, 85 percent of customer interaction will be through AI.
Does this mean computers are replacing the need for human interaction? No way. Implementing AI allows you to step back and ask yourself, "What do we really want our staff to be doing?" So often we have team members managing leads, setting up member communications and doing manual work in the back office. AI allows you to free up staff from doing these kinds of tasks so they can be on the floor, setting up appointments and spending more time with the members in your facility, providing exceptional experiences.
Today's consumers expect award-winning experiences whenever they connect. They don't care if it's human or digital. Health clubs are left trying to scale exceptional experiences relying solely on human capital. AI gives you the best of both worlds, maintaining that personal connection with the member while being able to automate processes to increase engagement for club members.
Every aspect of the customer journey can be customized, enhanced and personalized thanks to AI. Think about your Netflix account; it gives you recommendations based on what you have watched and what people like you have watched — that's AI in practice. You can provide that same level of service to your club members, all while reducing costs and boosting efficiency through task automation.
The added bonus? You'll see returns on your investment with happier members and increased program participation from providing more targeted services to your members.
How are you going to compete in a market that is becoming increasingly competitive? Great clubs understand the need for implementing new technologies that allow you to scale authentic, personalized communications while maintaining a high level of quality customer service.

Trina Storage unveils Elementa, an industry-leading LFP battery cabinet at Intersolar
Trina Solar's new energy storage arm makes its debut at Europe's premier solar event
October 5th, 2021: Trina Storage, the global energy storage business launched by Trina Solar earlier this year, will unveil a new, utility-scale smart energy storage system that cuts CAPEX by over 5% at Intersolar Europe.
Trina Storage Elementa is a fully-integrated and modular smart storage solution with a simple plug-in concept that allows operators to connect multiple units easily and flexibly, enabling even the biggest energy projects to scale up their storage as required. Elementa's standardised design and factory-installed configuration helps reduce installation times by up to 70%, and is designed to make on-site installation significantly simpler, leading to lower CAPEX.
This year marks Trina Storage's debut at Intersolar Europe, a leading solar event, after the business was founded in February this year. Trina Storage engineers innovative solutions for solar and storage, including standalone grid services and other applications for large industrial and microgrid projects. The company draws from Trina Solar's long-standing solar heritage and industry know-how to solve the technical challenges of IPPs (Independent Power Producers), Developers and EPCs (Engineering Procurement Construction) in the rapidly transforming renewable energy landscape.
Trina Storage will also be presenting the success of the recent 50 MW grid-scale battery storage project at Burwell, Cambridgeshire in the United Kingdom, which is owned by SMS plc. Trina Storage was engaged by the smart energy infrastructure company to supply a full Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), one of the first projects of its kind in the UK. Once operational, the BESS will provide the UK's National Grid with balancing services to ensure best-in-class frequency response, flexibility, and demand management.
"The generation of solar energy will rise exponentially in the years to come, and this will spur even greater demand for storage solutions to smooth out imbalances and ensure all generation is captured and used," said Terry Chen, Head of Overseas Energy Storage Business at Trina Storage. "Since we launched earlier this year, Trina Storage has been at the forefront of storage innovation, with our engineers developing flexible, highly-scalable solutions that solve those challenges, in terms of costs, quality, safety & efficiency.
"We're proud to be showcasing Elementa and our first BESS project at Intersolar Europe in front of the world's leading renewable energy experts, demonstrating our role in leading the energy transition through storage."
Intersolar Europe 2021 is being held in Messe München, Munich, from October 6-8. Trina Storage will be exhibiting at Stand A6.470. To arrange one-on-one briefing with the Trina Storage team at the event, please contact the press office.
