Last night was a tough game to watch, even more so for fans at the arena. The players looked just as frustrated during the game and definitely in their post-game availabilities.
DJ Smith probably made things worse by stating that every line needs a "hard worker" insinuating that the top lines will be broken by mixing up the types of players. He also said had this gem to say after the game:
"There is only one way to win in this league... it's to grind. It doesn't matter how much skill you have." - D. J. Smith
— Everyday Sens (@EverydaySens) January 22, 2023
At this point, he's not only alienating the fanbase but also his best players. I can't imagine a player like DeBrincat would be too pleased playing on a line with "hard-working" Gambrell.
This isn't another "Fire DJ Smith" post because, at this point, it probably won't happen with new ownership looming. That being said, after such high expectations this summer, how do you get the fans on board again? How do you get the players to settle down and find their groove? We can't even get consistency for our goalies who both have struggled immensely due to Smith's yo-yo strategy of their starts.
The trade deadline is coming up and Dorion is fighting for his career for next season which is worrisome. Does he just overpay with picks and prospects to try to salvage the season? Does he realize it might be better to just get rid of dead weight for next season? The problem is the issues with the roster have almost no trade value at this point but maybe bringing up some of the guys from Belleville is the true value behind getting rid of someone like Parker Kelly or Austin Watson.
Then there's Alex DeBrincat who still needs an extension and we need him to believe Ottawa is the place to stay.
Some fans are even getting frustrated with the Captain saying he's not always mature and he needs to be held accountable. Fair enough, but Tkachuk has elevated his game this season in a very noticeable manner and he has been a forceful impact more times than none. Do you want him to be held accountable? Well, that's the coach's job. Tkachuk is a young Captain, we knew that coming in and there will be a transition period before he fully matures into the role.
Thomas Chabot is another example where things took an unexpected turn for the worse. I don't know if he's dealing with a lingering injury or if he's just not buying into this team's system but his level of play has dropped significantly this season and that is very concerning considering our existing defensive woes.
Needless to say, injuries have been a huge factor this season but every team goes through that and manages to survive except the Sens. There isn't much we can do there but rushing back a player like Josh Norris was definitely not the answer.
This season was supposed to be the one where the team starts to figure it out but somehow we just look like the same mess we've been in for the last few seasons. It's nice to see players like Stützle and Sanderson excel but it really is overshadowed by the team's overall direction at this point.
This season is long gone and it's time to think ahead but as fans, what do you want to see happen next? Do you still think the Sens need to add to the team to make a final push for the playoffs or is it another tank season for the Sens?

Orbital fractures are among the most frequent facial traumas. This study retrospectively analysed patients treated in Umberto I Hospital Trauma-Centre, Sapienza University of Rome from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2020. The inclusion criteria were as follows: diagnosis of pure/impure orbital bone fracture, complete clinical and radiological records, and a minimum 12-month follow up. Gender, age, aetiology, fracture type, treatment, and associated complications were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics, and p values of <0.05 were considered significant. In total, 1393 patients presented with orbital trauma, 543 of whom met the inclusion criteria and underwent surgery (394 males (72.6%) and 149 females (27.4%); mean (range) age 39.2 (7–90) years). Assault (n = 165, 30.4%) was the most common cause of trauma, followed by road traffic accidents and sports-related incidents. Diplopia was the major symptom at diagnosis (n = 183, 33.6%). Open reduction and internal fixation via a sub-eyelid approach was the preferred treatment, achieving a significant reduction in the functional changes induced by fracture (p < 0.05). Our data will aid future studies of maxillofacial traumatology and suggest that education and prevention measures could reduce the incidence of this type of trauma.

How about the mothers of LEGAL children?
All we hear about is the problem on our southern boarder were children are separated from their parents for like 20 days. Yes, this is a problem but get real. We have much worse problems in our country with legals.
How many children are taken away from their parents because of divorce?
How many children do not have a family (single mom or single dad)?
How many children are taken away because their parents broke the law....if a family member does not take them in they are sent to foster home.
If a woman, mother, exposed their children to the dangers as these women have done to their children, CPS would have removed them immediately. Carrying them on a journey with all sorts of danger, giving their daughters birth control pills knowing they have a good chance of being raped, carrying them to the desert with minimal food or drink, etc.
All of this without assurance of being allowed to stay in the country.
Yes, we should be concerned about other people, but even as it was said, we'll have the poor and oppressed with us always, it is just like a bucket of water with a hole in it. Do we want to give up our children and grandchildren's future for them?
What is bigoted or xenophobic about wanting people to follow the rules?
Leave the country with your kids or leave without them.
No separation in that. No Sophie's Choice in that. It is good you have the phony laugh - without it you'd have nothing to contribute(?).
By today's standards they would be illegal except for one thing they were white. How about the special interest groups that in the past have gotten changes in our laws so people from countries they want to help could arrive legally, while people arriving from other countries were looked at as illegals. If I recall there was a big fight after the Veit Nam war about allowing the people from South Viet Nam to arrive here in mass claiming they would be killed if they went back. They were allowed to stay. They are no different than the people we are talking about today. It was as you say these liberal leftists who helped many from the Nam era build a family and become an asset to this country. How can any true American turn their back on these people who benefited from the same thing. Real sad when that happens.

When the sun beats down and the mercury rises, it has a certain effect on people. Large groups flock to water of all sorts in an effort to beat the heat.
Kara Kelly with the Red Cross said it's important to pay attention to how you're feeling in these extreme heat conditions.
Drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine and alcohol, which could leave you dehydrated.
Heat exhaustion is a concern when it gets this hot, and symptoms include heavy sweating and flushed skin. Heat stroke is also a possibility.
"If it steps into where you're actually vomiting, or you feel faint, or it starts to get even more extreme, that's when you're moving into heat stroke and you're really getting into an emergency situation," Kelly explained.
Heat affects metabolism, which increases as it gets hotter and puts more stress on the body.
"It comes up very quickly -- You really have to pay attention to what your body is doing," Kelly said.
When conditions get this extreme, pets are also a concern.
Do not keep them in enclosed vehicles, and be sure to give them lots of water and a cool place to stay.

On July 21, regional officials were in Steamboat Springs making a pitch to an advisory committee of the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) asking for $5.22 million in energy assistance impact grant funds.
The total $9.9 million Phase 1 project envisioned by the Region 10 organization which made the grant request will not bring broadband fast-Internet access to private homes or businesses. Instead, the Phase 1 plan would supply broadband fast-Internet access to "anchor institutions" including government, schools, health care facilities, and other institutional users.
According to Region 10 grant documents, "The plan includes build-out to a majority of anchor institutions within the service area." The application also states that the regional project "has several phases," though no timeline for completion of other phases or of the entire project is stated.
"Once this (Phase 1) infrastructure is established and Phase 2 is underway," states the Region 10 grant application, "individual Internet service providers (ISPs) can apply for access to the network in order to deliver end-user service connections to businesses and residents."
Region 10 is based in Montrose. Its director describes it as "a quasi-governmental non-profit." According to the Phase 1 budget submitted with the grant application, Region 10 is contributing no funds or in-kind value accountable to the project. However, if Phase 1 is funded and built providing broadband fast-Internet access to institutions, "Region 10 and partners are able to develop the open access broadband infrastructure while remaining third-party owners of the network."
Region 10's major partner in the project is DMEA. It is making its own fiberoptic cable available to the Region 10 project. It is also considering three "business scenarios" of its own that could transform it into a local Internet service provider, possibly even competing with other private ISPs if any should decide to enter the local "last mile" Internet business.
At DMEA's annual meeting last month in Cedaredge, then board president Olen Lund said three Internet business plans were being studied by the co-op: a wholesale business plan, a retail plan and a hybrid plan combining aspects of the other two. Details of the plans were presented to the DMEA board in an hours-long, closed-door meeting on June 23 by digital consultant Celerity of McLean, Va.
According to the Region 10 grant submittal, "the final design and project management will be provided by the consultant team that produced the regional plan." That team is the consultantcy NeoFiber of Carbondale whose initial work on the project was covered mostly with a previous $100,000 grant from DOLA. According to the Phase 1 budget provided by Region 10 in its grant application, those final design and project management services combined will cost the project just over $1 million.
The entire Phase 1 project is estimated at $9.9 million. Of that amount, according to the grant request, $4.67 is being contributed locally. The request grant of $5.22 million makes up the balance.
The Region 10 grant request relies heavily on portraying Delta and Montrose counties as "suffering" from "economic hardship" and "economic distress" because of coal mine layoffs, out-migration of residents for employment opportunities, and because of the lack of broadband fast-Internet service.
• A Northwest Colorado Council of Governments request for $310,000.
• Design services and construction management, $550,427; project management, $451,684.
Local cash contributors to the project listed are Delta County, $738,519; City of Montrose, $752,500; and, City of Delta, $461,000.
Total amount of cash and in-kind funding is listed as $4.67 million or 47 percent of the total Phase I cost.

Antonin Scalia Would Be Appalled at What Supreme Court Conservatives Are Arguing Now
A majority of the court seems to think that public criticism of high-dollar donors is the real threat to the First Amendment.
By Mark Joseph Stern
Justice Antonin Scalia speaks at the U.S. Mission in Geneva in 2011. United States Mission Geneva/Flickr
"Requiring people to stand up in public for their political acts fosters civic courage," Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in 2010, "without which democracy is doomed." Scalia would be aghast at arguments on display at the Supreme Court on Monday in Americans for Prosperity v. Bonta.
The case constitutes a challenge to a California disclosure law that requires tax-exempt charities to disclose their high-dollar donors to the state attorney general. It does not involve censorship or compelled expression; no one is being silenced or forced to speak against their will. It does not even involve public disclosure; the attorney general is obligated to keep the information confidential. The only alleged infringement on the First Amendment is the possibility that an inadvertent leak by the California attorney general will reveal donors' names, and they will face accountability for their donations. And yet Monday's arguments revealed that a clear majority of the Supreme Court is plainly prepared to either block the law's application to the plaintiffs or strike it down altogether. If Scalia was correct in 2010, then this case is an ominous sign for a democracy that's already under stress.
The California law at issue in Americans for Prosperity is modest. It requires nonprofits to provide a "Schedule B" disclosure—which contains the names, addresses, and total contributions of "substantial contributors"—to the state attorney general. A "substantial contributor" is defined as someone who gave more than $5,000 to the nonprofit in a single year. But if a nonprofit receives at least a third of its overall support from government grants and public contributions (and many do), the threshold is much higher: Only individuals who contribute more than 2 percent of the organization's total support are listed. So, for example, a donor to the plaintiff Americans for Prosperity would have to donate $341,000 to be listed on the disclosure form.
Nonprofits are already required to submit Schedule B disclosures to the IRS. California wants the information as well, so the state attorney general can ensure that charities are following through on their promises to donors and not engaging in deceptive practices, including fraud. It keeps the forms in a confidential registry, though its security protocols were not initially airtight: Americans for Prosperity hired an expert who was able to circumvent safeguards and obtain less than 1 percent of the registry's confidential documents. The expert exploited a vulnerability that Citibank and Delta Air Lines also had to patch. Although the state has fixed this flaw and improved the registry's security, Americans for Prosperity claims that the information is not confidential at all, insisting that it is "effectively available for the taking."
These details, omitted from the plaintiffs' account of the case at arguments, illustrate why it is not just inapt but perverse to compare Americans for Prosperity to 1958's NAACP v. Alabama. (Unfortunately, the NAACP itself filed a brief that fell into this trap, a fact that several conservative justices gleefully pointed out on Monday.) In that case, Alabama directed the NAACP to turn over its entire membership list to the state; the Supreme Court found this demand unconstitutional, ruling that it infringed on the NAACP's freedom of association. As a group of legal historians have explained, the court decided NAACP "amidst pervasive private and public violence against Black Americans and white racists' efforts to prevent them organizing." The decision was "rooted in thick evidentiary records of violence against NAACP members," violence often sponsored or tolerated by the state itself. Against this backdrop, the court found that disclosure would subject NAACP members to "bodily harm," and that this reasonable fear of violence would have a "repressive effect" on the organization's ability to speak and organize.
Analogizing NAACP to Americans for Prosperity is like analogizing World War II to a playground brawl. Americans for Prosperity is not a vulnerable association of minorities facing violence and oppression; it is a Koch-backed behemoth with a budget of nearly $100 million, a top-notch legal team, and countless allies in the Republican Party. What the group is really seeking is not freedom from violence, but freedom from accountability. Its donors do not want to face scrutiny from the California attorney general or the public. They do not want to face boycotts, protests, and condemnation for financing a conservative organization that helps elect Republican politicians.
Analogizing NAACP to Americans for Prosperity is like analogizing World War II to a playground brawl.
Scalia understood the desire of political activists to shield their activities from the public eye, and he scorned it. The justice believed there was no general right to anonymous political speech; anonymity, he wrote, "facilitates wrong by eliminating accountability" and leads to "a coarsening of the future." He wrote that "evil corporate (and private affluent) influences are well enough checked" only "so long as adequate campaign-expenditure disclosure rules exist." And in his 2010 opinion in Doe v. Reed, the justice minced no words, writing of the push to topple disclosure laws, "This does not resemble the Home of the Brave."
Today's conservative justices take a different view. Time and again on Monday, the conservatives fretted that high-dollar donors might face criticism if their identities are revealed—as if this consequence were constitutionally unacceptable. "In this era," Justice Clarence Thomas warned, "there seems to be quite a bit of loose accusations about organizations—for example, an organization that had certain views might be accused of being a white supremacist organization or racist or homophobic, something like that, and, as a result, become quite controversial." He fretted about the "chilling effect" on contributions that would result from "accusations that a particular organization is racist or supports white supremacy." He asked California Deputy Solicitor General Aimee Feinberg if she thought "it would be reasonable" for a donor to worry about making "a substantial contribution to an organization that has been accused of being racist or homophobic or white supremacist" because they fear public disclosure and reprisals.
Justice Samuel Alito picked up this thread. He noted "the well-known case of Brendan Eich," who stepped down as Mozilla's CEO after it was revealed that he gave money to the campaign for Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in California. Alito also noted that other proponents of Proposition 8 faced backlash for their contributions. Justice Neil Gorsuch asked Feinberg if the government could "require private associations to reveal any manner of information—their Christmas card lists, their dating lists, their whatever," unless they could prove a "reasonable probability of reprisal." Chief Justice John Roberts raised the hypothetical of a charity "that supports a cause that is controversial."
"People have said they will make life miserable for anybody who supports that charity," Roberts continued. "They'll picket outside their house. They will boycott anybody doing business with them." Could California give a "100 percent assurance" that big donors' identities won't be leaked?
What is bizarre about all of these questions is that the "reprisals" envisioned by the justices are themselves free expression protected by the First Amendment. Boycotts are free speech. Picketing is free speech. Signing a petition telling a company to fire its CEO is free speech. The conservative justices are not only worried about the actual violence that NAACP members faced in 1958. They are not only worried about extreme threats and harassment that give rise to prosecution and civil liability. They are, rather, wringing their hands over plain old constitutionally protected expression. And, even worse, they are favoring the ostensible free speech rights of big donors to give money in secret over the free speech rights of the public to criticize those donations. In the conservative justices' eyes, anonymous funding of controversial nonprofits merits generous First Amendment protections; the speech that might result from the disclosure of donors, by contrast, is an evil that somehow undermines the First Amendment.
This position is almost certainly a reaction against "cancel culture," which some conservative justices perceive to be a growing threat. And it shows how an obsessive hatred of "cancel culture" flips constitutional values on their heads. Criticism is not censorship; the constitutional right to free speech does not include a guarantee against hurt feelings. "There are laws against threats and intimidation; and harsh criticism, short of unlawful action, is a price our people have traditionally been willing to pay for self-governance," Scalia wrote 11 years ago. But a majority of today's Supreme Court sees "harsh criticism" as an unacceptable assault on free expression—specifically, the kind of free expression favored by this court.
There is another alarming aspect of Americans for Prosperity. As Justice Stephen Breyer put it, summarizing an argument that surfaced in the briefs, "this case is really a stalking horse for campaign finance disclosure laws." Many of the organizations that want to conceal the names of their donors are allied with politicians and openly partisan groups that also want to keep their donors secret; a ruling against California in Americans for Prosperity could open the door to new lawsuits challenging state and federal laws that force politicians and political organizations to reveal their contributors. A key premise of decisions like Citizens United is that campaign spending does not corrupt elections as long as we know who, exactly, is funding them. Now the court might undermine that promise, using Americans for Prosperity as a "stalking horse" to take down campaign finance disclosure rules.
Based on Monday's arguments, it's obvious that the conservative justices are prepared to block the application of California's law to some groups. It's not yet apparent, though, how far they'll go. The details of the decision will determine how many other disclosure rules, including those governing election spending and contributions, can survive at this Supreme Court. But the early signals suggest that the conservative majority is heading in a direction that, according to Scalia, spells nothing less than doom for American democracy.

November 14, 2018- SAHF and its members are committed to the sustainability of our planet and our communities. Members act on that commitment with a Big Reach goal of reducing energy and water consumption in their multifamily properties 20% by 2020 and seeking new strategies to promote energy and water efficiency in new and existing affordable rental homes. The Community Builders truly pushed the envelope on energy efficiency in the design and construction of Hillcrest Residences, which is certified by the Passive House Institute of the US (PHIUS).
The Passive Building Standard takes a rigorous, performance-based approach to energy efficiency, with building performance criteria for five principles: airtightness, ventilation, waterproofing, heating and cooling, and electrical loads. Together, these principles produce properties with extremely low heating and cooling loads that keep residents comfortable and energy bills low. The Passive House principles can also reduce operating costs, increase the resilience of the housing, and better steward public resources. Last evening, the property was recognized with a 2018 AHF Readers' Choice award.
Hillcrest Residences is a 66-unit mixed-income property serving seniors in Pittsburgh, PA, and is the largest PHIUS-certified building in North America. Hillcrest Residences met the Passive Building Standard through a mix of air sealing, continuous insulation, triple-pane windows, high performance doors, energy recovery ventilation, high efficiency domestic hot water systems, and Energy Star appliances. In addition to serving the property's energy efficiency targets, the energy recovery ventilation system also promotes excellent indoor air quality for residents by continuously filtering and supplying fresh air.
Driven by its mission to create stronger communities, The Community Builders went beyond achieving energy efficiency standards and embraced a number of additional green building principles to create an environment where residents can thrive. The property is close to public transportation and neighborhood retail and dining options. It also features a community garden and offers amenities that include an outdoor terrace, a business center, a fitness room, and a private room for health services. This holistic approach to healthy and sustainable housing is a model for high-quality affordable housing for the future.
Congratulations to The Community Builders on a well-deserved Green Building award!


Thatch is a layer of living and dead grass blades, stems and roots that forms between the living grass shoots and the soil level.
As long as thatch doesn't become too dense, it can insulate the soil against water loss, decrease compaction by cushioning the soil below, and protect the grass crowns from temperature swings.
When thatch becomes too thick, it can prevent water, fertilizer and applications from reaching the grass roots. It can also block sunlight from the lower grass blades and weaken the lawn, and it can hold moisture against the grass blades, creating fungal and bacterial problems.
Thatch build-up can create an uneven lawn surface of high grass and scalped areas. The best cure for thatch is to prevent buildup in the first place, and the best way to do this is through regular thatching of the lawn.
During aeration, a machine known as a core aerator pulls plugs of soil from the lawn to break up compacted soil and create more room for air, water and fertilizer to reach the roots. This results in expansion of the root systems for thicker, healthier grass.
Aeration removes thousands of small cores of soil 1" to 3" in length from your lawn. These cores "melt" back into the lawn after a few rainfalls, mixing with whatever thatch exists on your lawn. The holes created by aeration catch fertilizer and water. Turf roots naturally grow toward these growth pockets and thicken in the process. Aeration holes also relieve pressure from compacted soils, letting oxygen and water move more freely into the root zone.
All lawns, regardless of their condition, can benefit from some level of renovation every year or so. One of the best means of rejuvenating turf is to combine thatching, aerating, and seeding into one process known as lawn renovation.
Following up aeration and thatching with overseeding is a great way to thicken up a thin lawn. Good seed-to-soil contact is essential for seeding success, and the new grass seed will have an easier time growing in the holes left behind by aeration. Keep in mind that if your lawn has been seeded, the soil should be kept moist with light, frequent sprinklings until the new grass is well established.

Why not stay in a historic thatched building for your next holiday. Formerly a windmill, The Round House offers luxury self-catering for up to 6 adults with 3 en-suite double bedrooms. Set in beautiful half-acre gardens and just two minutes' walk from the centre of the charming market town of Framlingham in Suffolk, The Round House is the perfect place for your country escape.
Dating from the mid 18th century, and originally built as a smock windmill, The Round House (actually octagonal) is a Grade II listed building that has been sympathetically converted to provide three en-suite double bedrooms, sitting room with wood-burner, dining room and spectacular farmhouse kitchen.


After having a play with Oracle 12c on Windows 8, I decided to give Windows Server 2012 a go. Here is the resulting virtual RAC installation.
As you would expect, much of the process is pretty similar to the 11gR2 RAC installation on Windows 2008.
Windows Server 2012 is a strange beast. The interface is quite similar to Windows 8, which seems strange for a server OS. I'm gradually coming to terms with the Windows 8, so I am not so repulsed any more. That's not to say I think it is the correct thing for Microsoft to do, but the thought of supporting my family on it is not filling me with quite so much dread now.
The setup is pretty much the same as the 11gR2 setup. So there's no real drama at all.
With the basic installation articles out of the way I can start having a play with the functionality.
My initial batch of 12c installations resulted in these two articles.
Judging by my web stats, they've proved very popular. According to Google Analytics, there are 3-4 active visitors on them pretty much 24×7.
My progress from there has been thwarted somewhat by technical issues. The server I normally use for my Virtual RAC installations is being a little funky at the moment. Rather than mess about I figured I would just reinstall the base OS. Initially it was running Fedora 18, but I decided to go for Oracle Linux instead. This server is used entirely for running VirtualBox VMs, so stability is more important than being bleeding edge. My desktop is still Fedora though.
Hopefully tonight, or tomorrow I can get back on the case with the 12c RAC installation. Yury from Pythian has already done a run through, which you can see here. There doesn't seem to be much difference to the infrastructure setup compared 11gR2 RAC, which is good.
As promised in a recent post, I've updated the Oracle 11gR2 RAC on Oracle Linux 5 article. It now uses VirtualBox 4.2.6, rather than 3.2.8 as it was before, and Oracle Linux 5.8.
I've purposely left it as an 11.2.0.1 installation as you can get this from OTN without needing access to My Oracle Support (MOS). The process works just as well for 11.2.0.3 and I would recommend you use that if you do have access to MOS. Remember, if you are doing the RAC installation on Oracle Linux 6 you are going to need 11.2.0.3, so OL5 might be the right option if you are playing around with this at home with no access to MOS.
Followers of my blog know I like doing virtual RAC installations.When I do these I'm focusing very much on the Oracle side of things, leaving the virtualization tool to handle the hardware virtualization, like networking and shared disk.
He tells me he'll be adding more details to the posts when time permits.
If you are more focused on the network side of the infrastructure stack I think this is a really interesting proposition and well worth a read.
Some time ago I wrote an article about configuring DNS for the SCAN address in Oracle 11gR2 RAC.
Over the last couple of days one of the Oakies has given me some feedback on the article based on his experiences with Oracle Linux 5.
For my virtual RAC installations I typically do the DNS configuration on the host machine, which is running Fedora. It seems Oracle Linux 5 is a little different. Just to make sure I ran through the setup on Oracle Linux 5 and 6 to see what the score was.
Oracle Linux 6 is pretty much the same as Fedora as far as installation and configuration of BIND is concerned. Oracle Linux 5 (and also RHEL5 I assume) is a little funky in that it doesn't create the default config files automatically. There are sample files you can use, but they contain a load of crap you don't need and are missing some stuff you do. The easiest way to get it configured is to install the "system-config-bind" package and start the GUI. This notices you have no config and sets it up for you. You can then exit the GUI and do the manual config as described in the article. Very odd.
I've made a note about this in the article, so it shouldn't trip anyone else up. I've also given some examples of the manually adjusted default named.conf files for each distro.


Another medical webinar that TASA recently presented was entitled, "Connecting the Dots: A Case Review Discussion on How To Optimize Use and Effectiveness of Medical Experts."
It has been very prevalent in the headlines: the college admission scandal. There are many moving parts in this matter as the lawyers are building up defenses.
Insurance is a topic that is prevalent to everyone. Also, it is a complex topic that may need an expert's knowledge in order to fight or solidify a case.
Having good problem-solving skills is beneficial both in business and in everyday life.
Observations and notes about real cases always provide valuable insight. If encountering a case similar to the one in said article, the notes may be invaluable.

Home/Entertainment/Chris Martin, Dakota Johnson Are 'Excited' to Move In Together
Chris Martin, Dakota Johnson Are 'Excited' to Move In Together
Pack it up! Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson are ready to start the next chapter of their lives in their joint Malibu pad.
The Coldplay singer, 43, and the High Note actress, 31, bought their new home "together," a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. "They are really thrilled and happy with their purchase."
The couple, who have been dating for more than three years, are "very excited to move in," the insider adds.

Us confirmed on Thursday, January 28, that the pair dropped millions on a California home in the Malibu neighborhood of Los Angeles just over three years after Us confirmed their romance in December 2017.
A source previously told Us that the new estate will be the couple's "primary residence" and marks their first official place together.
The home features six bedrooms and nine bathrooms and sits on 5,338 square feet. It is a "modern Cape Cod-style" house that the pair settled on after looking at properties for "many months," the source explained. The insider noted that they got it at a "huge discount," adding that the new digs are worth $12.5 million.
Martin and Johnson's moving news came one month after the lovebirds sparked engagement speculation when the Fifty Shades of Grey star was spotted wearing a massive emerald ring on her left hand in December 2020.
The couple were first linked three years prior after taking a trip to Israel and showing PDA. The romance began after Martin's divorce from ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow was finalized in July 2016.
The British musician and the Goop founder, 48, who share daughter Apple, 16, and son Moses, 14, announced their "conscious uncoupling" in March 2014 after 11 years of marriage. Paltrow has since moved on with Brad Falchuk, whom she married in September 2018.

The foursome have a "very friendly" relationship, a source exclusively told Us in October 2020, saying, "They genuinely enjoy being together and there's a lot of love for one another on all sides."
A year prior, Johnson spoke about her private romance with the "Yellow" crooner, telling Tatler in September 2018 that she is "very happy."
The pair also have the approval of their families, including Johnson's mother, Melanie Griffith.
"I adore [Chris]," Griffith, 63, exclusively told Us in May 2018. "She is very private about her life and I respect that."

Sri Lanka vs Australia, Match 20 Prediction 15 Jun 2019
Sri Lanka vs Australia, Match 20 Prediction
Kennington Oval, London
00.0 00/0 (00)
SRL vs AUS Prediction
2019-09-20 21:25:22 Arnav K
?Australia has won the last four out of five games they have played against Sri Lanka
?Sri Lanka has managed to win just two out of their last ten ODI games and has had their trouble with the form
?Aaron Finch and David Warner look in good form and the latter is among the highest run-getters in the tournament.
CRICBETTINGBUZZ PREDICTION: Australia to win this game
₹10 000 Welcome Bonus
T&Cs apply, 18+
An upbeat Australia would take on Sri Lanka in the 20th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 at Kennington Oval, London. The defending champions come into this game after having won the last match against Pakistan which would surely have erased the pain of loss against India. Sri Lankan team, on the other hand, has seen their last two games being washed away by rain. It isn't looking good for a side that has been struggling with its form in recent months.
In recent years the two sides haven't met often and in the last five games played between the two sides, Sri Lankan team has lost on four occasions. Given the kind of form the Sri Lankan side has been in for the last couple of years they would need to play exceptionally well to win the upcoming game.
*Our match preview predictions are fully researched and provided in good faith but no profits are guaranteed. Please gamble responsibly, you should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Teams Preview
Two back to back rain washouts is the last thing that Dimuth Karunaratne would have wanted. Not before playing against the defending champions. The side has been in poor form although they had won the last completed game against Afghanistan after a disastrous performance with the bat. As the take on Australians in the next game the skipper would want his men to bring out their best game and fight it hard in the middle.
The batting form for the side has been a big worry so far in the tournament. In the two games where they batted, the story has been the performance of skipper Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Perera. Everybody else around them has thrown their wickets away. Going into this big game the skipper would want the seniors Angelo Mathews, Lahiru Thirimanne and Kusal Mendis to do well with the bat and not be casual in their approach.
The bowlers have so far looked good in the tournament. Against Afghanistan, they bowled well to win the game where Nuwan Pradeep was the star of the show. Lasith Malinga and Suranga Lakmal will need to provide a good start to the side with the ball and the team management would expect Thisara Perera and Isuru Udana to do well during the middle overs.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing XI
Lahiru Thirimanne, Dimuth Karunaratne (c), Kusal Perera (wk), Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Thisara Perera, Isuru Udana, Nuwan Pradeep, Suranga Lakmal, Lasith Malinga
After going down against India in their previous game the Australians registered a convincing win against the Pakistanis in the last game. Aaron Finch would have been proud of the efforts of his sides. They are having some issue with their batting and also bowling in the middle overs but the skipper would be confident about the prospects of his side in the next game against Sri Lanka.
David Warner made a confident hundred in the last game and along with Aaron Finch makes a formidable opening pair. David Warner, Glenn Maxwell and Usman Khawaja have looked in good form so far. Shaun Marsh playing for the first time in the last game also did well. Alex Carey and Nathan Coulter-Nile add strength to the side lower down the order making it look very dominating.
Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc bowled well in the last game and apart from the game against India they have looked in a good rhythm. Nathan Coulter-Nile also did well in the last game. The side would expect to see better performances from Kane Richardson and Maxwell with the ball in the game against Sri Lanka.
Australia Predicted Playing XI
David Warner, Aaron Finch (c), Steven Smith, Usman Khawaja, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Alex Carey (wk), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Kane Richardson
Pitch And Weather Conditions
It is expected to be sunny out there in London on June 15 with slight cloud cover. The pitch has played well so far in the three games that have been played here. The ball has come to the bat nicely and allowed batsmen to score easily. This one is a 350 run wicket if the side batting first is able to see through the opening spell of the bowlers.
Kennington Oval, London is a batting friendly ground and has been so in the last few games. The ball comes onto the bat nicely allowing batsmen to free their arms. It is the spinners who have done well in the latter overs of the game where the ball is known to grip and turn to make it a challenge for the batsmen.
The captain winning the toss would have no hesitation in batting first on this surface. Given the weather perdition for clear skies, we might have a high scoring game on our hands. The captain would decide to bat first and want to put up a big score on the board and defend it successfully.
Winning Prediction
The two sides are separated by a huge distance if form and team strength are taken into account. The victory in the last game against Pakistan would have lifted the spirits of the Australian team after their loss against India. They would now look to play like World Champions in the next game. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, hasn't impressed so far in the tournament. They went down poorly against New Zealand and nearly threw away the game against Afghanistan. Australia is definitely a better side and looks favorites to win the next game.

Westside Gunn Confirms The Release Date For Mixtape "Peace Fly God," With The Assistance Of Madlib
Westside Gunn revealed on social media a month ago that his upcoming project, PEACE "FLY" GOD, would debut during Paris Fashion Week. Sadly, he later acknowledged that his trip to France had consumed his time and caused a delay.
"PEACE 'FLY' GOD droppin I promise u I'm just f****** Paris up and I haven't had time to mix and master in the states yet but I'm a drop this song in the next few days to hold y'all over."
Westside Gunn
The mixtape's release date was confirmed by the Buffalo, New York native on Sunday night via an Instagram post. In order to "keep that sh** grimey," Westside Gunn claims he won't bother spending a lot of time editing the music for his upcoming release on Friday, July 8, 2022.
A post shared by FLYGOD (@westsidegunn)
"I'm back in the states and the homies pulled right up on me, now the tape is complete!!!!! Idgaf about the mix or the master I wanna keep that sh** grimey af, so I'm dropping this Fri f*** it, "the post caption. "This, not the Album this a ART piece before MICHELLE RECORDS @esteenack @cvv.vino and ain't s*** f***** wit it… made in 48hrs," he continued.
Westside having originally unveiled "Peace 'Fly' God" in June, Gunn has already been actively hyping the mixtape on Instagram, giving the impression that it will include more than just his personal verses and music.
Ever since, Westside Gunn has posted a number of audio teases, such as a collaboration with legendary Griselda soundman Camoflauge Monk, Griselda associate Stove God Cook$, and famed producer Madlib.
" @godcooks came over in a plain jane Syracuse starter jacket He switched to the GXFR one and turned into 02' @carmeloanthony 🏀 🔫…..PEACE "FLY" GOD…..We cooked this shit in 2days and it's better than ANYTHING out 🤷🏽♂ @camoflaugemonk on the boards and @madlib on the soundtrack"
Gunn's upcoming project would be his first release prior to his 2021's "Hitler Wears Hermes 8." The project featured Mach-Hommy, Jadakiss, Boldy James, Lil Wayne, and others. The album would also be the seventh work by WSG to feature his stylish moniker, including "Flygod," "There's God," "There's Flygod," and "Praise Both," from 2016. Also "Raw is Flygod" and "Daringer" from 2017. Along with "Flygod is Good" from 2018. "Flygod is an Awesome God", "All the Time with Mr Green" 2019, and "Flygod is an Awesome God 2" 2020.

Tribune Media terminated its $3.9 billion takeover by Sinclair Broadcasting, and also filed a lawsuit for breach of contract.
The merger would have created America's largest local broadcaster, and both sides are likely to pursue other M&A avenues.
But FCC chair Ajit Pai suggested that Sinclair hadn't been truthful about all of the transaction terms, which drew the Twitter wrath of President Trump.
The irony, per Axios' Sara Fischer, is that "it was the FCC's decision to roll back decades-old broadcast ownership rules last year that empowered Sinclair to pursue the deal in the first place."
Albertsons and Rite Aid mutually terminated an agreement whereby the Cerberus-owned grocer would have acquired the more than 2,500 Rite Aid stores that weren't sold earlier this year to Walgreens.
The move came less than 24 hours before Rite Aid shareholders were scheduled to vote, and amid vocal opposition from some of them (including Highfields Capital Management, which has a 4.46% stake).
Investor advisories ISS and Glass Lewis also opposed the tie-up, basically arguing the price was too low. Albertsons, which would have become publicly-traded via the deal, refused to increase its offer.
The bottom line, per Axios' Bob Herman, is that both companies now must worry that Amazon will eat their lunch on pharmacy and consumer staples.
CVS could have new troubles with its proposed $69 billion takeover of health insurer Aetna, as the American Medical Association yesterday asked the Department of Justice to intervene.
AMA argued the deal could raise prescription drug prices.
CVS, meanwhile, chimed in on the drug price debate during its Q2 earnings. Specifically, it tried rebutting claims that rebates (which are only vaguely defined) are correlated to higher drug prices, and broke out rebate-related earnings that were much lower than what some analysts had believed.
Over several months, in speaking with 21 people who know Ross, Forbes uncovered a pattern: Many of those who worked directly with him claim that Ross wrongly siphoned or outright stole a few million here and a few million there, huge amounts for most but not necessarily for the commerce secretary. At least if you consider them individually. But all told, these allegations—which sparked lawsuits, reimbursements and an SEC fine—come to more than $120 million.
If even half of the accusations are legitimate, the current United States secretary of commerce could rank among the biggest grifters in American history.
• LB-Uh-Oh: The SEC has asked Tesla for information related to CEO Elon Musk's tweets about taking the company private, per the WSJ.
Bloomberg reported yesterday that SoftBank and Musk discussed a Tesla investment in early 2017 but, as we noted yesterday, SoftBank is not involved in this new endeavor. In fact, my understanding is that SoftBank learned about it via Musk's tweet, like the rest of us.
Our latest Pro Rata podcast focuses on the Tesla situation. Listen via Apple, other podcast platforms or stream it straight from Axios.com.
Ambys, a Redwood City, Calif.-based developer of therapies for serious liver diseases, raised $60 million in Series A funding from Third Rock Ventures and Japan's Takeda Pharmaceutical. It also secured another $80 million from Takeda via a strategic partnership, which includes options that allow Takeda to buy partial rights to Ambys' first four drug candidates.
Why it's the BFD: Because it's become increasingly common for biotech startups to partner with big pharma, but most of those deals usually include the potential for control — either in terms of developed products or an option to buy the entire company. Ambys' deal with Takeda provides neither.

Terrell Owens parlayed his NFL resurgence into an off-the-field cause this week, helping to lift the spirits of a young boy in need.
Owens reached out to 6-year-old Josiah Viera with a heartfelt e-mail and a package that included a jersey and his eighth touchdown ball of the season.
Viera suffers from a rare genetic disease called Progeria.
The life expectancy of a Progeria child is between 8 and 13 years old. Josiah, from Hegins, Pa., is aging at a faster rate than most Progeria children.
"I can only guess from the e-mail that T.O. wrote me that Josiah's story had touched him and inspired him," Jennifer said.
It was early in the second quarter last Sunday in Cincinnati that Owens caught the touchdown. It gave the Cincinnati Bengals a 14-7 lead over his former team, the Buffalo Bills.
Owens said in an e-mail Thursday he would wear gloves for the rest of the seaon with Josiah's initials on them.
Josiah had been featured in a segment on ESPN's "E:60" earlier this month. Owens later contacted Josiah's mother via e-mail.
Owens, 36, was considered by many around the NFL to be washed up and old this offseason.
But he ranks among the NFL leaders in receiving after Week 11, already outperforming his numbers from a year ago.


It was an easy drive to Boise on I-84. We had no complaints because the weather was good and it was interstate all the way. We stayed at the Boise Riverside RV Park for two weeks. The location was excellent. We were within 5 minutes of any shopping we needed. The campground was at the edge of the Boise Greenbelt Trail, so we were literally steps away from our daily dog walks. (That was a real convenience after leaving a place where we had to get in the car to take the dogs for a proper walk). We were technically in Garden City, Idaho, but downtown Boise was a short 5 miles away, and we could get there on our bikes. The Boise River was on the other side of the Greenbelt Trail, so Mike was even able to do some fishing. Unfortunately for our freezer, he didn't have any luck. Our actual camping spot was nothing special at all, and the park was all gravel, which translates to dust in the air at all times. In the long run, we felt like the location and proximity to the middle of town were good enough perks to trade off the negative aspects of the RV Park.
We both enjoyed the City of Boise very much. It reminded me a lot of Austin back in the day when mostly Texans lived there. The population is a little over 200,000, so it is big enough to have interesting citizens, but small enough to get around easily. It is a state capital and also has a university near the downtown area. The Boise River runs right through town, just as Austin's Town Lake links many neighborhoods to the city's center. The people of Boise are friendly and enjoy outdoor activities centered around the community's multiple public parks and green spaces. Many of the sidewalks in the city center are flanked with patios brimming with tourists and local workers or students. Lots of construction around town indicated to me that the economy was strong in Boise. There was a good energy about the place. And it was very clean. I would dare say it was one of the cleanest and most well manicured cities we have visited on our Tour.
We had a relaxing time during our Boise stop. It was the largest city we had been to in a while, so we ran lots of errands when we first got there. Mike got the oil changed in the Honda and picked up some RV supplies. I bought make-up at a department store cosmetics counter and took the dogs to the vet. We also made a few other stops at stores that aren't located in towns with populations of 5,000. We spent many hours walking the dogs on the trail, and riding our bikes toward all the action in the center of town. We floated the river one afternoon, went to an evening concert at the Botanical Gardens, and ate at several good local restaurants. I made a trip to the downtown Farmer's Market on Saturday morning. A friend of mine from my organizing life is a full-time RV'er with her husband and they were passing through Boise at the same time we were there. It was fun to catch up with Donna and Mike. We met them downtown at the Bittercreek Ale House one afternoon for drinks and dinner, and hosted them at our place another evening. It is always nice when we get a chance to visit with people we actually know! Donna has a website relating to organizing issues at www.unclutter.com, and Mike writes a blog about their RV travels called www.flyingthekoop.com.
Our spot was B24. The sites were all gravel, so it was extremely dusty at all times.
When I was checking in at the office, the lady behind the counter was on the phone with a potential client making a big deal about how their rig had to be 10-years old or newer. I guess these campers behind us got into the park before the rule was instated. Lots of RV Parks have the "10-year rule". Our Monaco is a 2006, but this year we started telling the RV parks it is a 2007… so we will meet the guest qualifications. (insert eye roll emoji here).
We had one dead tree in our site, so Mike decided that was enough to hang my hammock for me. He strapped one end of the hammock to the tree. He hooked the other end of the hammock to the ladder, and fastened the ladder to the picnic table. The ladder contraption wasn't enough to keep the hammock from wobbling when a person was inside, so we moved this concrete block onto the bench of the table and stability was achieved.
The Boise Hawks are a minor league baseball team from the Arizona Diamondbacks franchise. On Friday home games they have fireworks after the final inning. We were able to watch from our camp spot, so it was a fun treat. (Although Cessna hated all 10-minutes of it, even though she was inside with the a/c running, two stereos blaring and her white noise machine on maximum).
There are tons of fun outdoor activities to take advantage of in Boise. These kayakers were practicing their skills in the outflow of this small dam on the Boise River. I snapped this photo from the Greenbelt Trail.
The Sandbar is a great outdoor restaurant on the River near downtown Boise. We rode our bikes over for dinner one night. The live music was fun and the Kobe Brisket Sandwich was sensational.
As it turns out, The Sandbar is not only dog friendly… the establishment is bird friendly, as well. This beautiful parrot joined his owner and a big group of people at a table near the band for drinks and food.
We did a river float through the middle of Boise one afternoon. The current was swift and it took us about two hours to float from Barber Park to Ann Morrison Park.
The Idaho Botanical Gardens is built around the historic penitentiary in the foothills of the city.
The Idaho Botanical Garden is a lovely attraction. Some of the gardens include: a water conservation landscape, a vegetable garden, a rose garden, a meditation garden, a children's adventure garden, a summer succulent garden, an herb garden and a native Idaho garden. The most intriguing garden to me was the Lewis & Clark Native Plant Garden. This garden's goal is to display 145 plant species collected during the expedition between Great Falls, Montana and The Dalles, Oregon. With more than 125 of the species currently in place they have almost reached their goal.
We attended a summer concert series at the Botanical Gardens. The theme was swing music. The featured singer reminded us of Rhiannon Giddens. We asked the singer during the break if she was familiar with Ms. Giddens, but she did not know of her.
One block in downtown Boise is called the Basque Block. All businesses on this block are either museums, restaurants or markets dedicated to the Basque heritage. On Wednesdays and Fridays the Basque Market prepares Paella on the sidewalk. The dish is served at noon. All plates are $10, and the food is served until it is gone. (Sometimes that happens in 27 short minutes).
We got there at 11:00, and I'm happy to report we were the first people in line! We shared a plate of manchego cheese with bread and apples while Mike enjoyed a Spanish beer and I gulped down an amazing frozen white sangria (or two). After an hour of yummy treats and pleasant conversation with the owner, our food was served. We devoured it within minutes!
Get in line, the paella is ready!
I wonder how fast they will sell out this time!
Artists pay the city to paint murals in Freak Alley each year.

Downtown Boise has a bike share program. I love those!
The Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial was situated on the edge of downtown at the riverbank.
Just like the rest of America, there are many homeless people in Boise. This guy had a nice set up on a park deck off of the Greenbelt.

Rick's Press Room was on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives during season 7. We had the potato pancake, potato crusted salmon, celery slaw and meatloaf. Everything was as good as Guy Fieri said it would be!
I'm going to have to look back at my notes and pictures to determine how many walls we have signed since our Tour began.
Boise and birds. This one lived at the campground. I stopped to visit him as he was making evening rounds with his human. After I loved on him for several minutes, he pretended to bite me and then he laughed and laughed… The bird, not the owner.
I went to mass at St. John's Cathedral one Sunday evening. The air conditioning was broken and people were hot. I didn't think it was too bad, but the priest skipped the homily all together. Just told us to concentrate on being good citizens until we saw him again, and then moved right on into the next part of the service!

BLADES 5 A SIDE
An insight into the minds, psyches and groin strains of a bunch of ageing five-a-side footballers
Inaugural World Series
Jess…Well played mate, well played
The Rules & Why We (Still) Play
The World Series Count
Jess was one of our founding fathers, our chairman and our gentle giant. We lost Jess to cancer in 2015. What follows is the club's goodbye to a great man, whose loss was greatly felt. These aren't cliched words. He was loved and respected by us all.
I don't know how old we all are? Every week as we take to our little field of dreams and hold on to our youth in some way we put these advancing years to one side: the aches, the pains, the ailments, the visits to the physio, the multiple strappings, the gaffer tape, the advice not to play, the impending pringle sweaters and the inevitable arthritis and rounds and rounds and rounds of "do you remember". In there will be the fisticuffs between the two Steves, the mysteriously disappearing and reappearing Phantom Darren, I'm hoping a few mounds of my teddy bears will make it in annals, Paddy's tackling and other faces that have come and no longer play: Brian, the wing wizard and even ones I do not know; and now Jess.
Even now there are ones amongst us that never knew Jess and that seems unthinkable. Jess: our founding father, our chairman, six foot and many inches, our gentle but giant of a man, dressed normally all in black, like our footballing Johnny Cash, swopping a killer guitar for an incinerating shot, blistering, bottom corner, reliable Jess, broke my hand in two places with that shot, my pay off for the audacity of trying to stop it once. Jess: for years I never knew his actual name, only Jess, then one day he introduced himself as Rob to a newbie, confused the proverbial out of me "Rob? Rob? But I've been calling you Jess for years?" Yes, that's my name, so is Rob. "You can't have two names, I can't handle two names." He just laughed, made a joke about a simpleton Wednesdayite and said, yes you can Steve. Jess: who never collected subs, or paid them on time: who was the perfect fit for the Chairman's sheepskin coat, fedora and chunky jewellery. Jess, who hated being in goal but not as much as Richard Wills or Mark. Jess, the Unitedite, the founding father, a footballer, a father, a husband, our friend: for those who didn't have that privilege of lining up with him is all you ever need to know. Oh, and Jess, a good man.
So I don't really care how old we all are. I do know that Jess was about 'our' age and having to write this now mean that's it is simply too soon, so that's all that matters: it's too soon.
So here's to you Jess, a peaceful and safe onward journey and god bless. Go get those nets prepared up there for us and whilst you do, we will have a game down here in your name, and as always, well played mate, well played.
