You been asking me for years how to make my blankets and honestly, I am a little hesitant to go spreading my technique all around but have decided to just bite the bullet and share! The hesitation comes mostly because there is no secret to my making process and anyone who makes stuff can see how my blankets are constructed with a minute of scrutiny.
So, my friend, it is not an easy process, it is actually quite difficult to get the kind of finish that I am a die-hard stickler for. All aspects of my blanket making process are challenging. It is more and more difficult to find knitted wool garments in the thrift flow.
The vast majority of sweaters available are synthetic and the finish that I am shooting for requires high quality materials – all natural, animal fiber that shrink to perfection. They must not be too densely felted but just the right amount to hold a firm cut edge and drape nicely. I'll be posting instructions on how I wash and dry the sweaters I use for blankets under the new Tips navigation here on my site.
While you scour the thrift shops for sweaters in the colors you want to make a blanket with, I'll be over here working on an in depth course covering all aspects of my blanket making process. It won't be ready til fall at the earliest as there are so many super exciting things going on around here! Right now the shop is FULL of the most amazing heart blankets to date! Check them out for inspiration now cause they are only online until February 7th at midnight EST.
Scroll down and leave a comment – tell me if you are interested in an online Blanket Making Course – or if you would rather come to my studio for a weekend retreat.
This week our theme is Harvest/Food Preservation. Well this year I have not gotten to my traditional 'Load the Pantry and Freezer for Winter" duties as things have been changing for me in the food consumption area of my life. Some of you have likely gotten wind of my Ulcerative Colitis diagnosis last year and my week-long Kushi Institute workshop last week where I was immersed in the healing power of Macrobiotics. More on that another time but for now, let me just show you a little tutorial I put together for making plastic drink jugs into cute and functional food packages for the lunchboxes in your life.
Note: Any permanent marker will work fine. Images show the first one I put my hand on in the studio. Have a wonderful lunch!


1.Got myself camponotus nigriceps queen a while back. Now have 10 workers, yay! My wife finally came to terms with my new hobby. Found out that the mrs has been feeding them flies (by a fly swatter, now she admits that she brought it just to feed the ants) when I've been going to work. Now they won't take anything else, such as, baby and tiny crickets, cockroach legs, crushed mealworms and even small bits, fruit, nuts, and occasionally honey from time to time. But when I put a fly in, they swarm it. How should I go about it? Should I continue with this, with also the risk of the flies may have pesticides? I live in Adelaide, so it's cold at the moment,I think it's still winter, anyways, so the flies aren't around a lot. Should I let them stave for a bit then try other foods? Please help me!?
Lastly, interested in making my own vivarium, when my colony grows into a super colony. And was wondering where in Adelaide I could buy springtails and things like that. I have patience in the ants but not with the making of the vivarium... boy, just writing about it makes me excited. Should I wait until I know my colony has gotten bigger or will it be okay to slowly start it now?
Also, bonus question, I'd like to catch my own queen. But can't seem to find, and most probably read a blog or a website to find out when the nuptial flights. Please, if you reply to this one, remember I'm new to this, understanding most terminology. But if you could dumb it down to my level, I'd be forever grateful.
Re: Just a few Questions.
2. If you have ever read harry potter you might know the character mad-eye-moody. if you don't he has a phrase which is, "constant vigilance". now what i mean by this is that every day it pays of to spend 5 minuets observing and trying to find ants. walk on the side walk, flip over some rocks if you can. i find that through this time it is really easy to find queens or be ready for them (by looking for elates in the nest or just giant brood). if a storm comes in you should probably spend like 10 minuets but that's really all you need to find a queen. don't worry nuptial flights usually last about a week.
you can start on the vivarium now if you want. just it might take a couple months for them to get enough workers just to move out of the test tube.
Thanks mate. Yeah they say until I reach at least 20+ So then I can take them out of the test tube. I've been keeping them in a test tube connected to a test tube portal, if I remember correctly, v2? I put their food in there and have connected another test tube with some honey water, which I change every 2-3 weeks. Is that an okay set up?
As the person I got the queen from said that they can go in an out world... yet I haven't seen any videos showing that it's okay, unless I've missed one, as I found it difficult to put food in the one test tube without having one or two adventurous escapees. Now I have 10 workers, i haven't had the guts to feed them in the single test tube, as I also haven't seen a tutorial on how to do that. In your opinion,is there an easier way to feed them in a singular test tube, just for knowledge sake.
Hi there! I'm new to springtails, too, but I seem to find them on the soil whenever I buy potted plants.


The Studded Eisenhower Jacket is the badass, heavy duty denim jacket that you need! This super structured, black denim has black studs on the front, back and collar and is just waiting for you to break it in. It snaps down the front too, so you don't have to worry about fussing with buttons!


This Halloween, I volunteered at a haunted house in Glenora. It was my second year in a row helping out there, and I absolutely love it. There are a lot of things about this particular haunted house that I love.
First off, I just love the community of Glenora. It feels so ridiculously small town, even though it's literally a five minute drive from downtown Duncan. The corner store, the hall, the beautiful old farms and houses, and the large parcels of land make it feel like a place that time has, luckily for Glenora, forgotten.
I also have a particular nostalgia for the Glenora hall. I remember going to and playing at all-ages punk shows there when I was a teenager. Those were thrilling times.
Regarding the haunted house itself, I love that it takes place at this hall in the seeming middle of nowhere. When Jenn and I first went to it as attendees four or five years ago, we almost turned the car around and left because it looked so sad — an empty parking lot with a few Halloween decorations outside the door of the hall. I was already embarrassed for the people involved, imagining them sitting inside with absolutely no visitors, bored and disappointed. I pictured their haunted house being nothing but bowls of peeled grapes ("these are the witch's eyeballs") and cooked spaghetti ("this is her hair"). I didn't want to come face to face with such sadness. But we had driven to Glenora just to see this damn thing so we prepared to give a half-hearted "ooohhhh, scary, haha" and get the hell out of there.
And then it turned out to be an excellent haunted house. It was full of enthusiastic volunteers and I was legitimately scared (ok, surprised or shocked are probably better words – regardless, it was very enjoyable) several times throughout it. And while the parking lot was never jam packed and there was never a lineup out the door, it maintained a steady clientele throughout the night. We left, very pleasantly surprised at what the adorable little community of Glenora had pulled off.
We went to it again two years later, and it was just as good. But this time, I was even more amazed because that same year I went to a big, fancy haunted house in Victoria that cost $10 or $15, had a 45 minute lineup, and was full of expensive and elaborate special effects, but was somehow just not that good. It was like they were trying to be flashy and impressive rather than creepy or scary, like they were leaning on their budget instead of focusing on the essential core components of a haunted house. Somehow, the sad, tiny, admission-by-donation-to-the-food-bank haunted house at Glenora hall was superior.
It wasn't until this year that I was talking about this topic with some people when I realized that I think the reason the Glenora Haunted Hall is so great is because, simply put, it has heart. It doesn't attempt to impress attendees with fancy robotics or professional-grade costumes and makeup. Instead, it's just a bunch of enthusiastic locals who dream up some cheap, simple, effective, old-fashioned scares, and then execute them with great joy. It's sort of like a piece of furniture that is handmade by a novice who obviously enjoys the process — it's not perfect but it is so unique and has such character that it stands out as a very special piece.
If I could offer a piece of advice to haunted house proprietors everywhere, it would be: keep it simple, and keep it scary — just jump out lots, scream lots, surprise people lots. That's the meat and potatoes of the haunted house. It works in Glenora so it should work for you too.
But it doesn't hurt if you also have a ghost that really knows how to groove.

Q: All but first deployment of Orchard CMS to Azure Web Apps Fails In Visual Studio Online I have a scripted build that builds Orchard 1.9.1 from source then, using the Azure Web App Deployment task, deploys the compiled Web Deploy Package to Azure.

When I'm emailing my friend — a Chinese citizen — in Shanghai, should I avoid mentioning politics? I don't want the guy to end up in a prison camp.
You're right to be wary, since Chinese ISPs regularly intercept emails that contain what the government deems to be controversial keywords. If you're planning to name-check Falun Gong or the Dalai Lama, even in jest, don't be shocked if your email fails to reach its destination. A single injudicious email, however, probably isn't enough to land your friend in hot water. "If you're not planning to organize any actual regime-threatening action or provoke others to do so, you're pretty much free to blather to your heart's content," says Rebecca MacKinnon, an assistant professor at the University of Hong Kong's Journalism and Media Studies Center. In other words, if your friend is just an Average Guo, there's little threat of the occasional anti- Communist quip resulting in his arrest.
But if your pal is involved in delicate matters — say, organizing strikes or religious gatherings — then you both need to exercise the utmost caution. Odds are the guy is already under surveillance, and the authorities may be looking for an excuse to lock him up. A foreigner's careless email may be just the pretext they need.
There are, of course, steps your friend can take to dodge Big Brother. For starters, he should email only from cyber-cafes, preferably ones without cameras. It's also imperative that he steer clear of Chinese email services, as well as foreign-branded services like Yahoo.com.cn. MacKinnon says that email services inside China are obligated to hand over user data and communications to Chinese cops whenever they ask for it.
Gmail is a better option, particularly if your buddy uses the secure HTTPS protocol. He should also consider using an anonymizing tool like Tor (tor.eff.org), which offers instructions in Chinese.
You could also consider ditching email altogether in favor of Skype; the network protects its phone calls with 256-bit encryption. Just make sure your friend downloads the requisite software from Skype's international site; the Chinese-language Skype site is reputed to place spyware on user's computers... which would kind of defeat the purpose.
Illustration: Christoph NiemannWill I run into problems if I order absinthe online from a supplier based in Europe?
Perhaps, Mr. Van Gogh. US Customs and Border Protection is responsible for checking all shipments from overseas, and the agency's take on the Green Fairy seems pretty cut-and-dried: "The importation of absinthe and any other liquors or liqueurs that contain Artemisia absinthium is prohibited." So there's always the risk that Customs will seize your package.
Thankfully, absinthe enthusiasts report that seizures are rare, particularly when there's just a bottle or two at stake; Mr. Know-It-All confesses that he's among the countless Americans who've successfully ordered the fabled liqueur from Europe. Some suppliers, like Britain's AbsintheClassics.com, use couriers instead of shipping services and guarantee safe delivery to the US.
But before you plunk down $168 for a bottle of Jade Edouard, it's probably worth checking with your state liquor authority, too. Several killjoy states prohibit the delivery of liquor to private residences, regardless of whether the tipple in question is absinthe or Yukon Jack.
When my newborn twins eventually ask how they came to be, should I tell them about the fertility drugs that were likely responsible for the multiple birth?
Absolutely, as long as you're careful to reassure the kids that they were extremely wanted — even if, truth be told, you panicked upon learning that you had two buns in the oven. "Parents can explain in simple terms that mommy needed help in order to have her babies, and that she and daddy wanted their special babies in order to complete their family," says Susan J. Alt, editor-in-chief of Twins magazine.
If you're concerned that your kids will get teased should word of their drug-assisted conception hit the playground, relax. Plenty of grade schoolers circa 2014 will have been conceived with the aid of fertility treatments, so there shouldn't be any stigma. Remember, it was less than three decades ago that test-tube babies were considered curiosities; now, no one bats an eye.
As for when to broach the topic, somewhere between fourth and sixth grade seems right. "Maybe wait until your children are learning these kinds of things in school," advises Nancy L. Segal, author of Indivisible by Two: Lives of Extraordinary Twins. Once your twins have grasped the basics of eggs and zygotes, they're definitely ready to hear about your reproductive kick-start.


This gorgeous Australian gold nugget is shaped like a deer lying down. You can clearly see the shape of the deer's head, with snout and ears, and the rest of the deer's body curled up as they do in the wild. It also looks like there is a crow sitting on it's back. This are gold nugget is huge, weighing in at 4.09 Troy Ounces (127.3 Grams). The surface area is very large at 2.75" long x 1.25" wide x about 5/16" thick. This is your chance to own a rare and beautiful Australian gold nugget that is a cut above the rest. It is clean and free from host rock and mineralization, making it a jewelry/investment grade nugget, the highest grade there is. Australian gold nuggets are very pure 22KT - 23 KT (92% to 98% pure), making them some of the purest gold nuggets on earth.

SAVAGE CINEMA'S COMING ATTRACTIONS FOR DECEMBER 2017
Yes, dear readers, it is time once again to return to a place along time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
There is no other film arriving in December that has me more excited and anxious to see it than the 8th episode in the on-going Skywalker saga, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," from Writer/Director Rian Johnson, a filmmaker the powers that be at Lucasfilm must have thoroughly been thrilled with as they have entrusted the creation of a brand new trilogy to his creative hands. But before getting too far ahead of myself, just get me to this latest chapter, which I hope that I will be as enthralled as I have been with every "Star Wars" feature to date.
Aside from "The Last Jedi," we have now reached the time of year for the BIG GUNS of cinema, the ones that are designed for awards season attention and acclaim as well as our hefty box office dollars. Now, some of these films may not even arrive in wide release until January 2018 but even so, I am curious about the following...
1. "THE DISASTER ARTIST"
Can someone possibly tell me precisely when does James Franco actually sleep as he has his hands in all areas from the stage, to the screen (television and film) and the literary seemingly all at the same time. Now, he arrives as Director and star of "The Disaster Artist," his examination of the infamous Tommy Wiseau and his equally infamous cult film "The Room." Acclaimed on the festival circuit, I am indeed intrigued.
2. "WONDER WHEEL"
-Woody Allen's latest starring Kate Winslet and Justin Timberlake? I have to check it out for certain as his work still entertains and enlivens me.
3. "THE SHAPE OF WATER"
-It has been over 10 years since I have seen any new film by Writer/Director Guillermo del Toro but it is looking like the already high acclaimed fantasy "The Shape Of Water" will be the one to get me back into his cinematic universe.
4. "PHANTOM THREAD"
-The reunion of Writer/Director Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis? 'Nuff said!
That is MORE than enough to try and get myself to, especially with the whirlwind of the Christmas season and other highly pressing real world responsibilities. Please wish me luck and good health and plenty of rest so I can keep up with it all.
And as always, I'll see you when the house lights go down!!

SubaruForester2019 Subaru ForesterReview
2019 Subaru Forester Review
Anthony Sophinos
Automotive Editor - October 15, 2018
All-wheel-drive crossovers seem to whet the whistle of buyers unlike anything else these days. Though nearly every automaker offers some sort of high-riding, so-called-active-lifestyle vehicle, Subarus in particular seem to embody the ideal of the crossover unlike anything else. Even non-enthusiasts know Subaru is the first choice of the outdoorsy among us; a casual trip to the local dog parks or trailheads will almost certainly reveal a gaggle of Subarus clustered together in the dirt parking lots.
This is the high wave that the 2019 Subaru Forester comes riding in on. It looks little different than the outgoing model, though underneath a host of changes promise a better driving experience than before and interiors have been upgraded in respect to materials and quality. There's no doubt, however, that the essence of the Forester remains wholly intact. Nicely straddling the line between technological progress and comforting familiarity, the 2019 Forester should have no problem continuing as the cornerstone of the Subaru lineup and holding envious competitors at bay.
For 2019, the Forester is available in five different trim levels. All are powered by a 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder hooked up to a continuously variable transmission (CVT); the turbocharged four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual transmission options have been quietly euthanized. Of the five trim levels, it's the Limited that we're smitten by. Luxuries include leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, a six-speaker sound system, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert; it's also the first trim where the larger eight-inch touchscreen is standard. Though the lower trims are still competitive options, the balance of features and price make the Limited a strong value proposition even if it's second from the top in the Forester family.
Model: 2019 Subaru Forester Limited
Engine: 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder
Output: 182 hp / 176 lb-ft
Transmission:CVT
Drivetrain: All-wheel drive
MPG:26 City / 33 Hwy
Options: N/A
Base Price:$31,770 (including a $975 destination charge)
Up through 2018, the Forester used to be a bit of a dark-horse performance crossover, thanks to the availability of a 250-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder and a separately-available six-speed manual gearbox. Unfortunately for enthusiasts, both of those elusive options have been taken off the ordering sheet, leaving the timeworn 2.5-liter boxer four and CVT as the only powertrain combination.
The 182-hp, 2.5-liter engine will be immediately familiar to anyone who's spent some time in a Forester or Outback built in the last 20 years. There's still that subtle but distinctive exhaust note that gives away the engine's flat boxer-style design, and engine noise is still rather prevalent, though the cabin is well soundproofed. Power is adequate for around town, though highway passing or short onramps will expose the lack of grunt. Fuel economy is good for the 3,500-pound crossover – the EPA rates it at 26 miles per gallon city, 33 mpg highway, and 29 combined.
People like to rag on CVTs, but the reality is that the unit fitted to the Forester is a good one. It does a good job of providing good off-the-line acceleration, and the characteristic whining when the gas pedal is depressed isn't an issue here. It makes the most of the engine's limited power and will put it to use without ever being unpleasant or cantankerous. On Sport models, paddle shifters let buyers pretend to row through the nonexistent gears themselves; it's a small consolation for those who were hoping the manual transmission option would return for 2019.
Though the sheetmetal is familiar, the chassis is all-new and is the same as that found under the Impreza, Crosstrek, and also-new Ascent three-row crossover. With the new platform comes marked improvements in stiffness and handling, translating to noticeably less body roll and a much smoother ride. It's still no Mazda CX-5 in the corners, but it certainly handles with more verve than the old one did. All Foresters come with Subaru's trademark full-time all-wheel-drive and a useful 8.7 inches of ground clearance.
The Forester embodies Subaru's reluctance to jump headlong toward new styling directions, as the new-for-2019 model looks as if it could share all it's body panels with the old one. For some brands, this kind of restraint could mean a slow demise, but for Subaru, it seems only to further entrench their already loyal customer base. It probably explains why the new Forester largely keeps it's chunky and blocky look; the small details that were revised only serve to heighten the sense of butch purposefulness it seems to exude. Big windows, a wide hatch with a low load floor, and the severity of the angles all combine to make one of the most practical, upright crossovers on the market.
The innards of the new Forester make a decidedly more apparent leap forward. Materials, fit and finish, and overall quality are better on every trim; top-of-the-line Touring models have a particularly rich-looking brown leather available that belies the car's $35,000 price tag. Lower-spec cars use a 6.5-inch touchscreen, while the Limited and Touring have an eight-inch unit. Both house Subaru's Starlink infotainment system that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Passengers both front and rear have ample stretch out room, with the rear passengers benefiting from nearly 40 inches of leg room. Tiered seating put those in back slightly higher than the already high-up front seaters, and together with the space make sitting in the second row a pleasure. Drop the rear seats – possible with the touch of a button on the Touring models – and the 35.4 cubic feet of cargo space more than doubles to 76.1 cubic feet. Drivers have 10-way power adjustment unless they opt for the base model, in which case they'll get six-way manual adjustment; passengers make do with four-way manual adjustment except in the Touring model, where they'll have an eight-way power seat. Visibility is excellent from the front, thanks to the large windows and commanding seating position.
The feature count, quality of materials, and ample space will be enough to sell most prospective buyers, and old-time Subaru fans will be glad to see how familiar their favorite crossover still is.
Evolutionary rather than revolutionary styling might be a drawback for buyers who were hoping for something more stylistically daring; the 2.5-liter boxer motor is almost old enough to legally drink, and it's mediocre at best compared to some of the competition.
Right For? Wrong For?
Yes, it's become a trope, but it's true – the active-living outdoorsy set really would be right at home in the confines of the Forester, as it has the space and capability to handle the rigors of this lifestyle.
Buyers looking for actual performance will be disappointed with the new Forester, especially now that the turbo engine and stick-shift options have been discontinued.
Subaru's Forester has become a favorite for a reason – it does everything well for not a lot of money. Sure, it's no sports car or corner-caver, and the styling certainly won't inspire any artists or poets, but it's a comfortable and efficient daily-driver, a reliable road-tripper, and a perfect weekend getaway vehicle when it's time to escape the hustle and bustle. The 2019 Subaru Forester continues to deliver on these principles, and we're sure both new buyers and returning customers will be happy to trade in and trade up to Subaru's latest salvo in the hotly-contested crossover market.

While an undergraduate studying at the University of Florida, I received my training in protein production and purification for rational drug design and drug discovery from the only national cancer institute in the state of Florida, the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Complex. From a novice, I learned how to genetically engineer, produce and purify cancer targets both for x-ray crystallography for structure determination, as well as biophysical assay for characterization. Equally important, I discovered a love for the lab and teaching science!
Fortunately, my university afforded me myriad of opportunities to apply my passions immediately! The Emerging Pathogens Institute hired me as a staff scientist while I finished my undergraduate degree just as soon as I finished my training. This allowed me to continue practicing and developing my skills further as a scientist while studying my greatest interest: infectious diseases.
However, working as a staff scientist also proved as an opening for me to continue developing my other love: teaching others. I supervised and trained three undergraduates in my lab each semester. Under my mentoring, two of my students went onto medical school, and the other into research science. I enjoy passing my knowledge and skills to others, while encouraging them to expand on what we learned, as well as experiment and discover for themselves.
Meanwhile, I also began teaching through other departments at the university. For example, I taught biochemistry to undergraduates as a Supplemental Instructor. I enjoyed experimenting with different teaching techniques and finding the ways in which to reach my students best. Additionally, I taught research design and methodology via the Microbiology Department. In this role, I was responsible for designing, developing and teaching the entirety of the curriculum for this course
B.S. University of Florida
Microbiology and Cell Science
Biology,
I am an experienced researcher in the lab, and tutor in one-on-one sessions. I've worked in several labs at both the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute and the University of Florida. My research focused on biochemistry principles and techniques. For example, I worked in rational drug design and drug discovery at Moffitt. My role was protein production and purification using fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) for x-ray crystallography and biophysical assay. I used many of the same techniques in two of my other labs at The UF Emerging Pathogens Institute and UF McKnight Brain Institute. I've taught biochemistry to undergraduates and graduate students through the University of Florida Department of Medicine, Department of Molecular Biology & Biochemistry and the Microbiology Department. Additionally, I've tutored over 100 students in one-on-one sessions for nearly 2,000 hours for classes such as biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, physics, cell and molecular biology and statistics. I draw on years of experience in research to provide real world examples of textbook principles.

Very helpful with college chem!
My college freshman son fell a bit behind in his general chemistry class. After a few lessons with Joesph he got caught up and was ready to tackle his final exam. My son said that Joseph was patient and really good at explaining things. Thank you, Joseph!
Carrie, 3 lessons with Joseph
Great first session! Joseph was extremely detail oriented, patient, and specific with his explanations, and it was clear that he really wanted me to understand the material.
Kerry, 1 lesson with Joseph
awesome educator!
Joseph helped me with complicated chemistry assignments and he did a wonderful job by teaching me and breaking down everything for me to understand. I highly recommend him and definitely will use his help again.
Bardia, 4 lessons with Joseph
thoroughly taught about everything I was confused with
Great explanations and super understanding! Has cooperative characteristics. I desperately needed a tutor for my thermochemistry test (for ap chemistry) and he knew how to explain everything just perfectly. His teaching tactics are great if you're confused about the overall concepts of topics. I was confused about all the concepts and he nailed it with the explanations!

Great and Thorough Explanations
Biology 1301 - Joseph has helped me improve my grade by explaining and demonstrating biology's scientific processes, particularly at the molecular level. Thanks, Joseph!
Gina, 4 lessons with Joseph
The best tutor!
Joseph is the true MVP. He's one of the best tutors I've ever had. If you are taking biochemistry Joseph will make it understandable.
Daniel, 38 lessons with Joseph
Amazing tutor!
Joseph does a great job at explaining the complex topic of biochemistry, and communicates them in laymen's terms that is easier to understand. He comes extremely prepared to each session with all work done before, which makes the sessions very efficient. I have done well with the assignments he has reviewed with me, and I look forward to using him for additional work in this class.
Kirsten, 3 lessons with Joseph
Incredible Tutor!
Did a fantastic job helping me prepare for an exam. In one session I went from nervous to completely confident! Has a great teaching style and explains content in a way that is both interesting and easy to understand. Highly Recommend!
Max, 6 lessons with Joseph
Extremely patient and knowledgeable tutor w/ a great personality!
I hired Joseph based on his bio and overall expertise, but I had to make sure we're a good fir for one another. I messaged him to let him know about my background being in marketing and not life science related, and that I needed a tutor with his realm of expertise for this reason. He was patient, asked all of the right questions, and created/tailored a plan which specifically met my needs. He's a great tutor not just on paper, but he takes his time and stops to ask if you're 'getting it' along the way.
Sandis , 1 lesson with Joseph
Great approach and commitment!
Joseph was very open to anything I wanted to say about the lesson concerning my daughter. I watched the recorded lesson and I like how he asked where she was comfortable in each step of each problem so he knew how to begin each step. He was very nice and she actually said he was the best so far!

US President Donald Trump speaks to the press on Air Force One on April 6, 2017.
I'm happy to let CNN defend itself, but a few obvious problems stood out with this. For example, if Trump is concerned about how the United States is presented to the world, he should probably focus less on news outlets he disapproves of and more on getting his presidency under control.
But it was the timing of the president's offensive that seemed especially problematic. Trump targeted CNN International on Saturday, against the backdrop of his Russian benefactor taking some related actions of his own.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a bill allowing Russia to register international media outlets as foreign agents – a move largely seen as retaliation against the U.S. for similar crackdowns on Kremlin-funded media outlets.
One might expect, under these circumstances, to see an American president respond to Russia's move by expressing an unyielding commitment to the freedom of the press and the constitutional principles that empower journalists to serve the public's interests.
And while most American presidents would do exactly that, on the same day Putin targeted international media outlets, Trump thought it'd be a good idea to lash out at CNN International.
I suspect Moscow was impressed.

Looking for Drug Rehab and treatment centers in Richlands, North Carolina?
There are several drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs possibilities open to people residing in the Richlands area. It is very important understand each of the varieties of rehab options that are available in Richlands, AB., so that you can find the appropriate rehabilitation approach for yourself or a family member. Selecting the most appropriate drug rehabilitation center in Richlands is the central element in the process of treating of drug abuse, addiction and alcoholism. The following data will assist you to understand your various treatment choices allowing an individual to have the greatest possibility of an effective outcome.
Let's have a look at the various drug and alcohol rehab centers in Richlands, North Carolina possibilities that coincide with the condition of the person in search of rehab.
Inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Richlands, AB. can be a rehab choice best for people who require medical treatment in the course of rehab or individuals with considerable drug abuse histories. Women and men will experience both mental and physical dependence to drugs and alcohol even after a short period of time, so inpatient drug rehab in Richlands is among the most beneficial rehab choice in almost all situations. As a result of substance abuse and addiction, men and women will often struggle to make a full recovery using the limited services provided by outpatient rehabilitation facilities in Richlands, North Carolina where drugs and alcohol are still easily available when they depart the outpatient program. Likewise, people in treatment who take part in outpatient treatment rather than inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Richlands are still vulnerable to negative influences and circumstances which can get in the way of their recovery process. When someone resides with an abusive companion or maintains relationships that entail drug use, any treatment endeavours in outpatient treatment will be in vain. For this reason in-patient alcohol and drug treatment in Richlands, AB. is going to produce more tangible outcomes that will prove long lasting as opposed to an outpatient alcohol and drug treatment center where advantages are often very limited and acute.
In Richlands there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug rehabilitation. Short-term is a 30-day program, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Richlands, North Carolina is more intensive and rehab can last 3 to 6 months generally speaking. It is really an ideal environment for clients as it is a completely drug-free environment where they can recover both mentally and physically without distraction. Ideally, women and men proceed inside a long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehab facility in Richlands for the maximum time period permitted, to enable them to handle anything which can jeopardize their sobriety when they depart treatment. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stable can take a couple weeks by itself, the 3 to 6 months in long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehab in Richlands will be time spent well and a lot more effective than short-term centers.
The key component of all if you or someone you love has a drug abuse or addiction concern is to do something about it, make calls and seek the advice of trained addiction professionals and get an evaluation and treatment possibilities to ensure the biggest potential for a recovery.

I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off...but somehow I've survived and am about to embark on a very much needed vacation to Disney World. YEAH! But before I do...must share. I may have mentioned I am donating some robots to an auction that is coming up. I also decided to donate a painting. Funny thing is I didn't have a finished painting that I was ready to part with (or an unfinished painting I'd be willing to part with). Midweek I realized...they were due today, Friday. And I hadn't even started on the robots or anything. Yeah. Panic. I somehow scrounged some creative energy together and got the robots done. The painting took around three hours over the course of two nights. I am amazed at how fast it got done and how much I like it. So much so that I don't want to give her up. But...I made a commitment. So I will just have to take some nice photos of her before she goes. She is called 'The Pink Lady.' And I adore her. I also feel like I finally figured out my painting style in the process. So she and I are good friends. What do you think? She is unfinished in this photo. I will post more when I take them of the finished product.
Okay. Off to Disney World! Well...in a few hours.

Rockies State of the Position
Rockies will rely on young talent at second base in 2019
The Rockies have built up middle infield depth, and it will be put to the test in 2019
By Ben Kouchnerkavich@bkouchnerkavich Feb 20, 2019, 7:00am MST
Share All sharing options for: Rockies will rely on young talent at second base in 2019
The Colorado Rockies have a bounty of young talent around the infield. This depth will be put to the test in 2019 as DJ LeMahieu, the team's Opening Day second baseman since 2014, has left for the New York Yankees via free agency.
The starter
Heading into spring training, second base is the only really contested position for the Rockies at the moment. Appearing to have the inside track for the most playing time at the keystone in 2019 are left-handed batter Ryan McMahon and switch-hitter Garrett Hampson, both 24 years old and both having accrued most of their 2018 plate appearances in the minor leagues. While McMahon has graduated from prospect status, Hampson remains, coming in as Purple Row's No. 4 PuRP
McMahon found himself on the Opening Day roster in 2018 after spending much of the spring being utilized at first base. But he also found himself riding the bench for much of the time he was in the big leagues in 2018. He put up solid numbers in Triple-A Albuquerque when optioned, but the ultimate result in the majors was a .232/.307/.376 batting line (and odd reverse splits that saw him hit much better against left-handed pitching).
McMahon saw 71 1⁄3 innings of action at second base in 2018, but the corner infield spots remain his areas of expertise. McMahon has shown to be a capable defender at all spots— he even put up a +2 Defensive Runs Saved in that small second base sampling.
Hampson's minor league offensive numbers have not been quite as shiny as McMahon's, but his small sample of MLB experience has looked more appealing. In only 48 plate appearances in 2018, Hampson produced a line of .275/.396/.400, with an excellent 14.6% walk rate. Hampson also brings an elite element of speed, with 38 stolen bases across three levels in 2018. For the Class-A Advanced Lancaster JetHawks in 2017, Hampson swiped a whopping 51 bags. Hampson has spent much of his time at shortstop in the minor leagues but became very acclimated to second base in Triple-A in 2018. Furthermore, Hampson saw time in center field in both the majors and minors in 2018 and could find some playing time there in 2019 as well.
Hampson's pedigree suggests that he can certainly play defense, which was on full display in his major league debut against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Hampson put together two sparkling defensive plays at second, as well as a ringing double for his first major league hit.
There is the potential for one of McMahon or Hampson to win the second base job outright this spring, or they could head north as part of a platoon. Manager Bud Black will certainly be keeping his eye on both as there is a lot to prove and also a lot of potential. According to Rockies Roster, McMahon and Hampson both have two minor league options remaining.
Rockies' shortstop Trevor Story recently spoke highly of the abilities of both McMahon and Hampson. Starting pitcher Kyle Freeland did as well. Black says, "I think they're ready to be contributors."
Both certainly appear capable of mirroring LeMahieu's offensive production (though the 2016 batting title season may be a tall order) and both seem to have a handle on defense at second base. But LeMahieu has three Gold Glove Awards, three Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Awards and a Fielding Bible Award on his mantle. The expectations for second base defense are high in Colorado and fans may have to accept that it will be difficult for anyone to replicate what LeMahieu brought to the table.
Depth options
Despite a -1.3 bWAR campaign in 2018, Black and general manager Jeff Bridich still mention Valaika when discussing second base. It appears Valaika will receive ample opportunities at the keystone in spring training and a good performance could well net him a spot on the Opening Day roster.
Daniel Murphy signed his two-year, $24 million contract with a mutual option to primarily be a first baseman with the Rockies. He has plenty of experience at second base but has produced an awful -83 Defensive Runs Saved in his career there. Still, it would not be surprising for Murphy to spend at least some time at second in 2019 if the need arises.
Mark Reynolds's spot on the Opening Day roster is not guaranteed and the Rockies have only known Reynolds as a first baseman from his time in Colorado (aside from a third of an inning in left field in 2017). Nonetheless, he does have experience at second and third base. For the Washington Nationals in 2018, Reynolds saw 63 2⁄3 innings of work at third, with two innings at second. It sounds like quite a stretch of the imagination, but this looks at least serviceable:
The Rockies' farm system is very deep in middle infield depth.
Brendan Rodgers, the consensus top prospect in the Rockies' organization, comes into Spring Training as a non-roster invitee and is sure to get multiple looks at second base, though he is also a shortstop by trade. Upon being promoted to Triple-A in 2018, Rodgers struggled in 72 plate appearances, hitting .232/.264/.290. It stands to reason that the Rockies would like to allow Rodgers more time to develop in the minor leagues. Rodgers probably won't make the team out of spring training in 2019, though if his numbers are otherworldly, there might be some reconsidering to do. Rodgers would be a more likely call-up after the All-Star break, assuming he performs well enough in Triple-A.
Josh Fuentes (No. 16 PuRP), 2018's Pacific Coast League MVP, only saw brief time at second base in Triple-A last season. It's been mostly third and first base for Fuentes, but he's on the 40-man roster and could certainly be a consideration at second base, even if it's to get his bat some MLB experience. And hey, he says he's a better defender than his cousin. For now, Fuentes appears likely to start 2019 in Triple-A, where Rodgers will likely see the majority of the time at second.
Ryan Vilade (No. 9 PuRP), Terrin Vavra (No. 13 PuRP) and Bret Boswell (No. 28 PuRP) are not strict second basemen, but could all factor into the equation in the future. It is expected that they will ready major league ready in late-2020 to 2021.

Q: Making SQL query from C++ I have connected to an MS Access database from my project.  Now I want to make a query, for example to take out data from third and fourth column.
How can I write SQL query in C++/CPP, using visual studio 2008?

A: If you're using a framework like MFC, Qt, or wxWidgets, you probably want to use the database connection classes they already include.
If you're not using one of those, you probably want to look into another library specifically for the purpose, such as DTL or SOCI.
You can obviously write your own code to talk to the database via something like OLE DB or ODBC, but they both involve quite a lot of boiler-plate, so a library helps out a lot.


Review: Lady Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale) is in a bit of a bind. With her husband deceased, a daughter in school with payment of bills being demanded, and more than a few scandalous rumors floating around decent society about her dalliances, she decides to impose upon her sister by moving into Churchill Estate. After all, family are the ones who have to take you in. Lady Susan has barely begun the dance of a new dalliance with the well to do and handsome Reginald DeCourcey (Xavier Samuel), when her daughter Frederica (Morfydd Clark) bursts onto the scene.
As it turns out, not only is Frederica a school dropout, she is being relentlessly pursued and wooed by the filthy rich and simple minded Sir James Martin (Tom Bennett). Now Lady Susan not only has to find a way to keep herself in the comfortable life style she is accustomed to, she has to fit her daughter's interests into the plots and schemes she is hatching. Helping Lady Susan in the social web of intrigues is BFF Alicia Johnson (Chloe Sevigny), who is married to a much older but wealthy husband. There are other relatives and suitors weaving their way into this 19th century romantic potboiler, including the renowned womanizer Lord Manwaring (Lochlann O'Mearain).
Surprisingly, this is the first film version of Jane Austen's novella, "Lady Susan". The early English dialogue is wonderful, though viewers will have to pay close attention as it is often coming at you in rapid fire sequence. Kate Beckinsale is perfect as the scheming beauty who somehow manages to call the shots among all the other players. It is light hearted fluff, strictly fun, the 19th century version of a soap opera. It is worth seeing just for Kate Beckinsale's gorgeous dresses and amazing collection of hats.

This blog originally launched as Organizing Your Way in December of 2008. Although we've expanded the number of topics we cover, my philosophy has stayed the same, and I think it applies to more than just organizing your home.
To put it lightly, I am a type-A, structured, organized person by nature.
I believe that everything has a place, and that's where it should be kept, and I like my house to be neat and clean and orderly for the most part. People who don't share these traits might think that my life sounds stressful and that I waste time cleaning and organizing and straightening like a mad woman. But I'm really not obsessed with it, and I'm able to relax my standards when needed. For the most part, I just stay on top of it, so it never becomes stressful. For me, it works.
My husband is very particular about the way our home looks but not nearly as structured as I am. To him, straightening up means putting things where they can't be seen. As long as things are uncluttered visually, he's not so worried about whether they're neat or organized in their hiding spot. For him, it works.
I first noticed this paradox when I was in high school. My mom, my step-dad and I were all very type-A. Unfortunately, none of us were type-A in the same areas, which meant we drove each other nuts with our different habits because we never seemed to be aware of the same things, and I would inevitably mess up something my mom had organized her way or vice versa.
Of course, there's a lesson to be learned in dealing with a spouse, roommate or family member who has different standards than you, but I'm sharing this to illustrate the whole philosophy behind Organizing Your Way.
Each of us have different priorities, preferences, lifestyles and needs. The fact that I don't have a junk drawer may seem totally ridiculous to you, and the fact that you toss your socks into your drawer without pairing them may seem ridiculous to the next person. But the goal here at Organizing Your Way is never to make you feel like you need to meet some unwritten rule or standard of Organizing 101.
If you're frustrated by your current system, then yeah, let's tackle it and find one that works better for you. But if letting the laundry pile up and then tackling it all in one day is working for your family, stop feeling guilty and embrace your system!
What unusual organizing habits or methods do you have? Do you ever fall into the trap of feeling guilty for not meeting someone else's standard?

Duperron Attends Schriever Wall of Honor Ceremony
by tacchamb | Sep 29, 2021 | News
This past Friday, Donna Duperron, President & CEO attended the Schriever Wall of Honor Ceremony at Space Systems Command, Los Angeles Air Force Base. In November 2007, the Space & Missile Systems Center dedicated a Statue and Wall as the General Schriever Memorial. Recognition of the earliest pioneers who made a tremendous contribution to our community began in 2014. Every year additional pioneers are chosen to have their names added to the Schriever Wall of Honor.
General Schriever had the enormous responsibility to develop America's first operational ballistic missile systems, and the first Air Force military space programs. He established and implemented management techniques that allowed his team to rapidly develop and deploy the Atlas and Titan ICBMs and the Thor intermediate-range ballistic missile by 1962 under extremely compressed development schedules.
Welcoming those in attendance was Lt General Michael A. Guetlein, Commander, Space Systems Command, Los Angeles Air Force Base. Assisting in recognizing the 2020 and 2021 Schriever Wall of Honor recipients was Major General (Ret) Thomas D. Taverney, former Vice Commander Headquarters Air Force Space Command, Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. Honorees included: Honorable Edward C. Aldridge, Jr., David Altman, General Lester L. Lyles, Dr. Ruben F. Mettler, Honorable Peter B. Teets, Colonel Lonnie Q. Westmoreland, Dr. Wanda M. Austin, Norman R. Augustine, Colonel Frank S. Buzard, Colonel Oliver W. Fix, General Ellen M. Pawlikowski, and Edna Sugihara.


I'm asimgle mother 5 kids but not all my kids live with me. The only ones that lives with me is my daughter and 2 of my youngest son. Don't worry I will not be asking you to babysit.

At the recent Pokémon TCG Tournaments across North America, several decks proved to be more tournament-worthy than others, placing in the top ranks at many tournaments. Below are two of these decks!
Eelektrik + Magnezone Deck: The Pokémon Eelektrik has an ability called Dynamotor – the ability lets you attach an electric energy card from your discard pile to one of your benched Pokémon once during your turn. This is very powerful since normally you can only attach one energy card per turn, but with the Dynamotor ability, you can power up your bench Pokémon faster than your opponent! Coupled with Magnezone's ability to let you draw up to six cards per turn, and attacking for 50 damage per energy card you put into the Lost Zone from any of your Pokémon, this powerful combination proved to be very successful.
Six Corners Deck: This deck utilizes all the strongest basic Pokémon from different elements. The idea is to attack with Virizion if your opponent is not playing a fire deck, and since you have so many different types of Pokémon in your deck, you can always target your opponent's weakness! The basic makeup of the deck includes: Virizion - the Grass Pokémon; Reshiram – the Fire Pokemon; Zekrom – the Electric Pokémon; Terrakion – the Fighting Pokémon; Cobalion – the Metal Pokémon; and Kyurem – the Ice Pokémon. Some people also add in Tornadus – the Normal Type Pokémon.
So now that you've read about two of the top decks at Pokémon TCG Tournaments, you can go and build yourself one of these winning decks! Keep checking back for Part 2 of this report – you will find out what the other popular decks are in this format!

LifeArc unveils new strategy and £1.3 billion spend to drive life-changing science
Published on 16th November 2021 by LifeArc
Today, we reinforce our commitment to transform the lives of patients as we announce our new strategy which sets our direction and priorities until 2030.
We plan to spend up to £1.3 billion over the period to 2030 – that's double our average annual spend – to help deliver new diagnostics, drugs, devices, and digital solutions that transform the ways diseases are treated. And we aim to attract additional money, skills, and resources from others to have an even bigger impact.
With this level of investment, a new strategy, and by collaborating with others, we want to deliver life-changing solutions and play a leading role in building the UK into a life sciences superpower.
Building on strong foundations to drive innovation
Scientific understanding is constantly evolving. The latest advances in technology, together with scientists' imagination, determination, and knowledge, could transform healthcare.
But translating science is a long, expensive and risky process. Spotting opportunities and knowing what to do with them requires specialist knowledge. Too few ideas ever make it out of the lab.
This is where we come in. We move more ideas down the research pipeline towards the clinic.
With our unique skills in translation, specialist knowledge and funding we can continue to help UK life science innovation to thrive.
Our ambitious strategy lays out how we will work with others to make a difference to patients' lives. We will focus our efforts through three strategic pillars.
Dr Melanie Lee CBE, CEO of LifeArc said:
"Our commitment to invest and our new strategy shows we are now ambitious on an entirely new scale. We want to invest significant resources so that patient-focused life science innovations in the UK can truly flourish. I am really excited about our new strategy and the difference we, together with our partners, will make for patients.''
Complex health challenges ready for translation
We have identified some complex health conditions where patients need treatment options, and the scientific knowledge is at the right stage and ready to translate into the clinic where we can make a difference to patients.
One of these is motor neurone disease (MND), a neurodegenerative condition where there is currently no cure.
"We were delighted by the news this week, where the government announced £375 million will be invested into a range of neurodegenerative diseases over the next five years, including at least £50 million for MND-related research," explains Melanie.
"This announcement confirmed MND is at the right stage to focus our efforts so we can work towards making a difference for patients, their families and carers."
We are making plans to tackle MND, and one of these is to form a new MND partnership with the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), MND Association and My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. This will pool expertise and resources across the research community to deliver new treatments for MND, faster.
We also want to tackle serious intractable respiratory infections that affect people living with cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis.
Ultimately, we may tackle broader healthcare themes.
