Supergroup revisits its starry history in Wabash
Toto visits the Honeywell on its possible last tour
Tags: honeywell-center
By Michele DeVinney
WHATZUP FEATURE WRITER
Toto is one band that came out of the gates as a supergroup. Comprised of session musicians who had played on some of the greatest tracks in music history, the band debuted with an album that took fans by storm.
Their first hit, "Hold the Line," was a radio juggernaut. For the rest of the '70s and into the '80s, Toto continued to release blockbuster hits, including "Rosanna" and "Africa" becoming a multi-generational favorite among pop and rock fans.
That history is at the heart of their current tour, one in support of their anniversary celebration, the CD and DVD collection 40 Trips Around the Sun.
The Future is Murky
Their history is secure, but now their future is in question as a lawsuit against the band has created a crisis, something that Toto stalwart, guitarist Steve Lukather, has called bittersweet. He managed to talk about it somewhat obliquely in a recent phone interview, clearly angry but also reflective.
"This may be our last hurrah thanks to litigation," he said. "A horrible person sued us, and now we all have to sign papers and see what happens next. It's a traumatic time, and we have to go away for awhile and see what comes next. But if this is the last run, I'm going to go with a big-ass smile on my face."
The lawsuit likely at the heart of this crisis was filed in 2018 by the late drummer Jeff Porcaro's widow, seeking money she felt was due to her late husband's estate.
It is also equally likely that this is not how the Porcaro family sees things since Jeff's brother Mike, who died in 2015, played with the band until his battle with ALS forced him to retire.
Brother Steve continues to play with Toto to this day.
Regardless of the legal situation, the brotherhood of Toto clearly extends beyond the Porcaros, and Lukather still feels the sting of those losses.
"I lost my brothers," he said. "This band survived 43 years of insanity and a lot of great times, too. I don't mind the fight. The business side of music sucks sometimes, but we all have issues. So let's talk about something happy."
Ringo and Writing
At the time of the interview, Lukather was still on the road with his most high-profile side gig, playing guitar for Ringo and His All Starr Band, something he has done for more than seven years now.
"It is one of the coolest things I've ever done," he said. "It's great to go out there and leave all the shit behind me. Sometimes I get so frustrated for humanity, but then I'm out here touring with the Peace and Love Man. And he's really like that, so that helps. Music is just such a great healer."
Although going through some difficult times, Lukather exudes energy and enthusiasm, and fans got to see much of that up close when he released his memoir, The Gospel According to Luke. His humor is immediately apparent, but he managed to refrain from walking all over others to tell his own story.
"I've been on both sides of it because some people have written things, and I felt like, 'Hey, that was a private conversation.' I didn't want to do that, although now there are a couple people I'd like to take another shot at. But negativity breeds negativity, and I'm not interested in that."
The book not only regales readers with the early history of Toto but also with the many studio sessions Lukather and his bandmates played, being part of classic hits for everyone from Michael Jackson to Boz Scaggs, Aretha Franklin to Paul McCartney, and working with producers like Quincy Jones.
It wasn't originally his idea to write the book in the first place, but now that he has, he may have another one in the thinking stages.
"I've been happy with how the book has been reviewed and received," Lukather said. "Basically someone came to me with the idea of writing it, and I focused mostly on the studio years. I guess book number two could cover everything that's happened in the last four years, but it might take me awhile to finish that one."
Enjoying their Longevity
When the subject turns to the band's longevity, Lukather is told that a text conversation between his interviewer and her daughter led to said daughter texting back the lyrics to "Africa." His response was immediate.
"That song," he said. "We get new kids listening to us all the time because of 'Africa' which is so funny because it was never supposed to be a hit. We buried it as a deep cut. It was the last song on the album. Dave [Paich] came in with the lyrics, and it was all kind of tongue in cheek. But it's a catchy song, and it was a huge production for 1981. Forty years later, it's just blown up. It's been nothing but a positive in our career."
With what may be their last tour, at least for the foreseeable future, Toto is enjoying something that began long ago, not as a means to be rich and famous but as a way to play music with their brothers.
"This is an example of, 'How can I miss you when you never leave?'" Lukather said. "We've all known each other since high school. We all have outside projects so maybe it's good to have a break. I'm just grateful for all the things we've been able to do. The Rolling Stone people hate us, but everybody looks at us differently. I feel pretty good about what we've done. And I feel like I'm 17. I still act like I'm 17, too, which is the scary part."

No one likes the smell of urine. It has a very pungent and unique odor that can be identified quickly by anyone. The smell tends to linger and can drive you crazy. The woodlands carpet cleaning knows exactly how to deal with this issue, and bring the freshness back into your carpet. The smell can be tricky to deal with, but our years of experience has made us urine experts. When you find yourself in the unfortunate situation where urine has been introduced to your carpet and will not go away, get a hold of us and we will deal with it quickly.
There are proteins in urine that are responsible for the foul odor. These proteins need to be broken down by a solvent and extracted to completely eliminate the source of the smell. The problem with trying to do this on your own is the extraction part. Most people do not have a steam cleaner and extractor at their home. They are expensive and hard to maintain. We have this equipment because it is our job. The solvents used can sometimes be harsh and should be handled carefully. All of these are good reasons to let a professional cleaning company do the job for you. There is nothing worse than trying to rid your carpet of urine and find out afterwards that the smell is still there. We can guarantee you will not catch a whiff of urine when we are done!
Pets are often the source of urine problems. Male cats are notorious for peeing on things to mark their territory. Cat urine is probably one of the most potent varieties, and by nature is hard to clean up. Once we have identified the location of the stain we can get work in cleaning it up. There really is no way to prevent a cat from peeing inside the house, but you can prevent the smell from staying around for a while. Again you can choose to clean it up yourself but chances are you will not completely get rid of the issue. We are always happy to help when it comes to urine damage so get a hold of The Woodlands carpet cleaners today. We will take care of the smelly problem for you!
Dogs are really good at peeing in the house. Generally it is male dogs that are peeing to mark their territory. It isn't always the guys fault though, females can pee too out of fear or excitement.

Our industrial equipment will make short work of any urine damage. When you find a urine stain we hope you get a hold of us so we can get rid of your issue immediately.

Watch army ranger alum give 'babies' afraid of Chick-fil-A a lesson they will never learn in school
Watch army ranger alum give 'babies' afraid of Chick-fil-A a lesson they will never learn in school
April 16, 2017 | Samantha Chang | Print Article
Duquesne University students who think chicken sandwiches violate their "safe spaces" should get "a crib in their dorm rooms with a pacifier."
That's what Army Ranger Sean Parnell, a Duquesne alum, told Fox News. "Toughen up. There are no safe spaces in the real world," said Parnell, co-founder of the American Warrior Initiative.
Parnell is disgusted that Duquesne students are protesting plans to bring Chick-fil-A to campus this fall, saying the chicken restaurants threaten "safe spaces" for LGBT students.
Duquesne has been under fire since 2012 after Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy admitted that his company had donated to organizations that oppose same-sex marriage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miCJdpvSf58
Now that Duquesne University will allow Chick-fil-A restaurants on campus in the fall, the LGBTQ community is furious, calling the decision a "microaggression" against gay students.
Fox News host to Muslims: If you don't want to be portrayed as terrorists, don't set off bombs
Sean Parnell said that's absurd. He pointed out that no one is forcing students eat at Chick-fil-A, and trying to ban them from campus is akin to fascism.
"They're a bunch of babies!" Parnell said. "I would've killed for Chick-fil-A on my campus when I was student at Duquesne. College is supposed to prepare you for the real world, not shield you from opposing opinions. And 'safe spaces' do exactly that."
Parnell said this is a problem not only at Duquesne, but college campuses across the country:
Colleges across the country are failing students this way. Safe spaces don't prepare students for the real world. That is fascism cloaked in free speech. That is not what America was founded on. That is not what universities are founded on, either.
Parnell slammed snowflake students who want to be shielded from opposing viewpoints, saying they're in for a rude awakening when they enter the real world.
"If you want to be successful in this life after you leave college, you've got to embrace adversity and open yourself up to a litany of different opinions," Parnell said. "You will never be the CEO of a major company or an entrepreneur or a manager if you're not willing to work with people that are different than you. Period. End of story."

Counterintelligence from Michael_Novakhov (51 sites): Eurasia Review: It's Now Trump Versus Future Of America – OpEd
Certainly, I was one among those who have been seeing the positive aspects of Trump administration during the last four years, applauding him whenever his decisions deserved. Most of the steps initiated by Trump have been in tune with the poll promises he made and none of his decisions were against the interests of USA. Even his worst critics should recognize this ,though they do not do so.
Of course, the COVID 19 crisis brought Trump's administration to a crisis point, though I believe that no other President could have handled the grim situation better. The crisis was overwhelming and came without a warning, with everyone including the medical researchers being at a loss, not knowing how to tackle the grave situation. The ground reality was that no drug or vaccine were available for treating this virus and there were even considerable confusion about what type of virus it was and how it originated.
I have not been a follower or admirer or blind supporter of Trump. But, I was only trying to be fair in my judgement about his administration. I honestly believed that Trump deserved a second term. However, the citizens of USA decided otherwise during the Presidential election.
Now, even as my positive feelings about the past administration of Trump remain, I have developed negative feelings about him, after watching the way Trump conducted himself and spoke against the election verdict.
While Trump thinks that the election was rigged leading to his defeat, most Americans do not think so and most people in the world do not think so. The positive feelings towards Trump would have been strengthened, if he had gracefully accepted the defeat and greeted the winning candidate Joe Biden. Unfortunately, Trump behaved in a graceless manner, unbecoming of a US President. He is reacting like a street urchin.
In the process, he belittled the glorious traditions of American democracy in the eyes of the world and has done incalculable harm to the reputation of America. Now, it will take very long time for USA to retrieve its image as a vibrant democracy and a country of educated and thinking people.
As a climax to the hate campaign of Trump after the election, the riot in Capitol Hill took place. Though Trump has been saying that the riot was due to the spontaneous angry outbursts of his supporters, nobody believes him.
On the other hand, most people think that Trump instigated the riot, which made every one wonder whether Americans erred seriously when they elected him as President. Now, it appears that Trump will not relax or reconcile and could use his supporters to put many stumbling blocks in the administration of Joe Biden. Today, most of the Americans and people in the rest of the world look at him as a villain with vengeful attitude.
It is now feared that the supporters of Trump could hold violent demonstrations in different cities in USA when Joe Biden is sworn in as the next President. This may or may not happen and may be an exaggerated fear. However, the fact that such fear exists at all speaks volume about the suspicion prevailing among the people about the motives and intentions of Trump, which clearly indicate the steep decline in his image all over the world.
At least now, wisdom should prevail in the mindset of Trump and he should stop lecturing about the so-called angry protests of his supporters. He should condemn the act of his supporters forthwith and apologize to the nation about the behavior of his supporters.
In a noisy and free countries like India and USA, which some critics describe as chaotic democracies, it is not difficult to motivate or organize a group of people to hold demonstrations or protest meetings. The majority of people do not approve such behavior of groups of people whatever may be the cause. Nevertheless, such protestors get huge media publicity which creates a false impression that the country is in turmoil.
What the USA needs today is for Trump to withdraw from his political activities and say so openly.
If he fails to do so, it will be a case of Trump versus the future of America. The future of America is too important a matter and cannot be left to suffer at the mercy of a violent crowd or a politician with a virulent mindset.

With all of Rhodes' prime tourist attractions set close to its east coast, you don't have far to travel on family excursions. The main resorts of Rhodes Town and Faliraki couldn't be more different, with the former providing oodles of history and the latter specialising in modern fun parks.
The largest of the Dodecanese Islands, Rhodes is packed with holiday sites from coast to coast. Two of its biggest towns are Rhodes Town and Faliraki – while both make for excellent holiday fodder, they're both vastly different, though much-loved in their own right.

YouTubers face backlash after "pranking" Walmart employees by pretending to fire them
By Sophie Lewis
May 10, 2019 / 9:49 PM / CBS News
A YouTube star with more than a million subscribers pretended to be a Walmart executive and walked around the store telling employees they were fired — all for a "prank" video. Lauren Love and her partner Joel Ashley have over 1.3 million subscribers on their joint channel, "Joel and Lauren TV." They also have three other channels, which have a combined following of over 500,000.
The couple is well-known for posting "prank" videos, including "CAUGHT CHEATING PRANK ON GIRLFRIEND" and "SURPRISING MY BOYFRIEND WITH FAKE GUCCI PRANK."
In April, they uploaded a video to their channel titled "CEO Firing People Prank IN THE HOOD (GONE WRONG)," in which Love goes to a local Walmart in Richmond, Texas. She pretends to be a Walmart executive, walking up to multiple store employees and pretending to fire them.
The full video has been taken down, but a teaser clip remains live on Lauren and Joel's channel.
CEO Firing People Prank IN THE HOOD (GONE WRONG) by Joel and Lauren Tv on YouTube
"I'm the CEO of this," Love says as she tells an employee that they are not in the correct "area" of the store. "I'm gonna have to take your badge and your jacket from you, you're fired." The employee does as she says, slowly putting down a box and taking off the vest.
"What our associates have experienced in this video is troubling and undeserved," a Walmart spokesperson told CBS News Friday. "We take this incident seriously and have taken several actions in response, including reporting the video to YouTube, trespassing the woman in the video, and providing support to our associates. This behavior is unacceptable and we will continue to stand by our associates."
According to Click2Houston, one of the women Love pretended to fire broke down in tears in the original video. "Really, I was really so crushed, I felt so little, I felt so powerless," said Maria Leones, who has apparently worked at Walmart for six years. "At that very moment, I felt so little."

— Nick Natario (@NickABC13) May 8, 2019
Love's latest Instagram has hundreds of comments, many of which are calling her out for the video.
"Your actions were disgusting," one commenter wrote. "How is it that you have this huge platform, yet you use it to humiliate people publicly?"
"The Walmart prank was extremely insensitive," another commenter wrote. "You should apologize."
Love and Ashley have not responded to CBS News' request for comment.
Firing "pranks" have become a popular YouTube trend, many of which rack up millions of views across a slew of different channels. YouTube has not responded to CBS News' request for comment.

Took my middle guy for an appointment and then dropped him off at school before heading to work this morning.
I found myself quite giddy at work all day. I hope I am not going to jinx myself but I see a faint light at the end of the tunnel at work. It's been well over a year of non-stop craziness. I can certainly handle it, but a week or two breather every now and again would be welcome for sure.
My husband had off today so took the kids to visit my grandmother for a bit. I emailed him tonight's pinterest dinner to make since he was home.
Tonight's recipe is all over pinterest labeled as "the best" and "amazing"; in other words "overrated".
The quick version - too much rosemary. The kids need their chicken legs "dusted off". Might be worth trying again with an easier hand on the herbs.
Place chicken in a rimmed 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Place parts skin side up and spread them out evenly in the pan. Pour olive oil mixture all over chicken, turning pieces to coat all sides. (If you marinated the chicken in this mixture, still add it all in).
Arrange slices of lemon, orange and onion around and under the chicken. Sprinkle all over generously with thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper.
As I type this 3 of the men are asleep. Me and the 6-year old are listening to the Billy Joel station on Pandora and rocking out. I am enjoying a cup of tea as I type this and he is drawing pictures of Willy Wonka and jabbering about who he wants to invite to his birthday which is in April (clearly the apple doesn't fall far with the planning).
We had plans shift this weekend so we are now having an impromptu dinner with friends tomorrow. I found a recipe on the train yesterday for a cranberry pork roast (I coincidentally have a pork roast and tons of cranberries in my freezer), decided to invite the friends, they accepted. Love it when a plan comes together.
I try very hard to keep us to one activity a weekend during the school year. I usually like to keep Friday and Sunday open to relax (minus 1/2 hour piano lesson or sporting activity) and Saturday is the day we usually do something with the kids - play date dinner, trip out of the house whether for an activity or even just shopping, etc.
I find that when we are over scheduled it throws everything off and causes stress the entire week. The kids are tired from running around. I don't have the opportunity to organize the house for the week and no one gets a break. Some people can do it, but it ain't for me!

Titus O'Neil On Hosting WrestleMania – "I'm More Than Just A Wrestler"
By Alex Hunt. Published 23rd March 2021.
Titus O'Neil has recently discussed his role in hosting WrestleMania 37, calling it an "amazing honour" to do so.
Speaking on the DAE on Demand show, the former Tag Team and inaugural 24/7 Champion had the following to say about hosting the two night event in Tampa on April 10th and April 11th:
"I like to equate as being the host of the Oscars or Grammys. You're directing the ship. At the end of the day, it's a very prominent position to be in. You have to perform just like everyone else. They're expecting you to keep the crowd engaged and hyped, transition to stories that are going on throughout both nights. It's an amazing honor. Being able to be in front of a live audience is going to be a refreshing moment for every WWE superstar and fan."
Titus' last match in a WWE ring was in November 2020. He challenged Bobby Lashley for the United States Championship in a losing effort. Hosts Ian and Jay asked O'Neil if fans would see him competing in a ring any time soon. This is what he had to say about wrestling in the near future:
"I'll hopefully get back into the ring with the right storyline. It's not just about the wrestling. We aren't called wrestlers for a reason. We're called WWE superstars because there's so much more that we do. I embrace every single role and part that I have. You can be on top and the champ one minute, the next minute you could not be on TV for a few months. What are you going to do in between that, how are you going to be an asset to the company? I've proven over 12 years that I'm more than just a wrestler and I can do more. That's one of the reasons the decision was made to have me host WrestleMania with an iconic figure in WWE history; Hulk Hogan."
This is not Titus' first time hosting the biggest event in WWE's calendar. O'Neil took over hosting duties at last years WrestleMania after original host Rob Gronkowski escaped after capturing the 24/7 Championship.

Q: Multiple instances of same calculator in Javascript I am new to Javascript and trying to create an on-line score tracker for a card game I play called Hand and Foot. The rules are this, 3 teams play 4 games, the team with the most points at the end wins. I have created a calculator for 1 person for 1 game, but when I duplicate it for the 11 more instances I need, the calculations stop working which I believe has to do with the getElementById not registering with the multiple instances in the html. I would be grateful suggestions on a more elegant way to create instances of this calculator on the same page without having to change the IDs of each field for each play and each game. check out my code Fiddle

Sputnik/Mikhail Klementyev/Kremlin; London Metropolitan PoliceRussian military leaders have reportedly called its intelligence service 'deeply incompetent' after a series of high-profile blunders. Here's a composite image of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the two suspects behind the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury earlier this year.
Russia's military leaders are reportedly unhappy with a series of blunders that its intelligence service suffered through in the past two weeks.
Over the past two weeks, Western investigators said that the GRU, Russia's military intelligence service, was behind the nerve agent poisoning in England and an attempted hack into the global chemical weapons watchdog earlier this year.
The country's defence ministry held a secret meeting over the weekend and called the GRU "deeply incompetent," "infinitely careless," "morons," Russia's MBK news site reported.
In the past two weeks alone, Western investigators found that agents of Russia's military intelligence service – commonly known as the GRU – were behind the attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and an attempted hack into the global chemical weapons watchdog's headquarters earlier this year.
Both missions ultimately failed, and investigators pointed fingers at GRU agents – Russia's leaders are reportedly not happy.
The country's defence ministry held a secret meeting on Saturday to discuss the recent reports of GRU blunders, and had some angry words to say, Russia's MBK news site reported on Monday, citing an unnamed source.
London Metropolitan PolicePhotographs showing Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Borishov, two men accused of poisoning former spy Sergei Skripal.
The GRU was described in the meeting, MBK said, as "deeply incompetent," "infinitely careless," "morons," and people that "would still wear the budenovka" – a phrase that means being outdated. The budenovka was a military hat worn in the late 1910s and early 1920s, shortly after the Russian tsar was deposed.
The defence leaders are also considering a "big sweep" at the GRU and ask some of its generals to leave, MBK said.
ITV NewsFormer Russian spy Sergei Skripal buying groceries in Salisbury, England, days before he was poisoned with military-grade nerve agent.
Last month the UK accused two Russian men of travelling to Salisbury, England, and poisoning Skripal and his daughter with military-grade nerve agent this March, and said they were GRU agents travelling under pseudonyms.
Putin, whose government has long denied having any knowledge of the attack, initially claimed that the two men's names – identified at the time as Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov – "mean nothing to us," then said that they were civilians.
RT NewsAlexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov told RT's editor-in-chief they had nothing to do with the Skripals' poisoning. September 12, 2018.
The men – two tech experts and two support agents – were caught red-handed and attempted to destroy some of the equipment to conceal their actions, Dutch authorities said.
The Netherlands then determined that they were agents of the GRU after finding that one of their phones was activated near the GRU building in Moscow, and discovering a receipt for a taxi journey from a street near the GRU to the Moscow airport,the BBC reported.

Stu Bennett Talks Transitioning From Pro Wrestling To Acting and His New Action Film 'I Am Vengeance'
by | | Uncategorized | 0 comments
Stu Bennett has been playing the bad guy for years in professional wrestling and now he's taken the lead as the good guy in the new action film I Am Vengeance.
I Am Vengeance
Stu plays John Gold, a man who ends up going on a hunt to find the men that murdered his best friend. But Gold isn't an ordinary man, he's an ex-soldier who isn't playing games and is willing to go the extra mile to discover what truly happened to his friend.
However, in trying to find the truth, he ends up finding a lot more. Even though Gold is a good guy, he has a very tough exterior and doesn't let down easy.
The movie is dark, and moves along with built-up tension as Gold makes his way to the truth. The first portion of the movie is focused more on Gold trying to get information, and the second half includes more action and fight scenes.
Stu is tremendous in the role of John Gold, he's got the right look and his fight scenes were on point. He was able to portray Gold as a tough guy, with a softer side to him as well.
Transitioning From Pro Wrestler To Actor
Many guys such as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, John Cena, The Miz, Triple H, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kevin Nash have either made a full career of acting or have done a movie here and there. So, it's no surprise to hear of another wrestler transitioning to acting.
Stu Bennett better known to wrestling fans as Wade Barrett has made the jump over to acting. Even though Bennett spent roughly ten years working for the WWE, he always had a passion for playing characters. "I've been a performer all my life." says Bennett.
Of course wrestling within itself is character driven and performing in front of a live audience on a weekly basis helped him build skills that he now uses in the acting realm. Noting that he got first taste of movies while working with WWE when he got to shoot the action drama Dead Man Down (2013) alongside Colin Farrell and Terrence Howard.
In order to prepare for his role of John Gold, Bennett studied action stars from early Hollywood, like Clint Eastwood.
And when it came to the physical portion of the film, there were some differences between wrestling in the ring and fighting on-screen.
Bennett says the biggest different between shooting a fight scene and wrestling a match is that when it comes to wrestling most of it is improv, there are around ten cameras and a live audience all around. And given the live aspect, there is a huge adrenaline that comes with putting on a wrestling match. Meanwhile, when it comes to shooting a fighting scene, it has to be more "precise and accurate" a planned out step-by-step choreography, which Bennett says "becomes a dance," and takes a bit to get used to.
"…There is something nice about having a safety nest. You know you can reset and reshoot. I never had that option in the wrestling world. There's something nice about that…but when it's live you have a certain level of adrenaline. On set, you have to find a way for the adrenaline to kick in. You have to tap into your soul to make the adrenaline…"
Bennett is very happy that he's gotten the opportunity to take on this role, and he also loved shooting the film in the United Kingdom, He describes I Am Vengeance as "Badass Action."
And it seems as the acting route he has taken is paying off since Bennett already has another project lined up that is shooting this fall in the U.K.

A punchy, hopefully cinematic trailer for a fake Diablo live action movie.
I will hunt down and remove comments that do nothing but state which trailers I used. That's not the point of this video! I know maybe my credibility will take a hit for that, but I'm tired of people saying 'lol Hellgate London and Warhammer!' In point of fact I used more then those trailers, but even that's not the point.
You needn't fall on bended knee or sing my praises or any of the rest of it either. I hope you enjoy the trailer, but chiefly I'm interested in hearing what you might think about a Diablo movie.


Growing and maintaining your very own indoor cannabis garden can easily burn a hole through your pocket. Between frequent visits to a hardware store and the local hydroponics shop/garden center, building out and maintaining even a small home grow can be quite expensive. Add on recurring monthly utility expenses and the inevitable costs of growing and maintaining a cannabis grow with changing seasons and the final overhead can quickly burn a hole through your "budget grow." One way to heavily reduce overhead in your garden is to incorporate sustainability practices throughout your operation. Every decision you make in your grow, from the lighting you choose to the medium you plan to grow in, will have a variable impact on your spending over time. Listed are a few helpful, cost-effective strategies to consider for incorporating sustainable practices into your indoor cannabis garden.
Water is a precious resource in California and in many other parts of the world, so water conservation is an important part of cannabis cultivation. Here are some tips to help you save water: Did you know that adding a layer of mulch to the top of your soil can save as much as 75 percent of your water, which is otherwise lost through evaporation? Mulch can consist of shredded bark, straw or even cardboard used to cover the soil and protect it from the sun. Watering in the morning and evening when it's cooler can also save a lot of water. Watering when it's hot will lead to more evaporation before the water reaches the roots.
Consider growing with lights that require less energy, such as LED systems, ceramic metal halide or LEC (light emitting ceramic) lights. Many growers prefer to spend the extra money up front for these lights in order to save more over time in their energy bill. Dollar for dollar, LEDs are the most sustainably cost-effective solution for lighting in an indoor home grow. LECs are not too far behind either, with a 300w system producing results similar to what most 600w HID systems will give you.
When incorporating climate control solutions into your garden, consider natural solutions. Many times, creating airflow pathways in and out of your garden can reduce temperatures to the point where air conditioner units become unnecessary. Practices such as running lights at night are also a great way to take advantage of the natural cool air. By reducing the need for various devices, you're naturally bringing your energy bill down while alleviating your circuits from unnecessary stress.
So plants respond well to natural daylight. If you can't manage to grow outdoors due to weather conditions, then greenhouses are a good substitute. And the best part about solar power is that it is free. Not only will that save you money in electricity costs.
Another cost-effective strategy is to incorporate the most sustainable grow medium possible into your regimen. No-till, organic gardening practices are a great way to make your garden more sustainable. By building and maintaining an active food web within your soil, containers almost never need to be changed out between grows; simply remove the root ball and re-transplant.
Organic gardening is much less expensive in that proper super soils require little to no amendments over time — their nutrients are readily available within the soil. Feeding regimens for an all-organic grow are often simply reverse osmosis water, and that's it, thus, eliminating the need for expensive nutrients that must be refilled over time. Many organic garden remedies can be concocted using simple everyday household ingredients, another cost-effective way of eliminating expensive small bottles that seem to disappear all too quickly.
You don't need to force plant growth with chemicals. These chemicals can find their way into the local water table and poison water supplies. Growing the plants in soil can also improve quantities of terpenes in the cannabis. That gives a much better smell and taste for the user.
Now that lab testing has become a common practice, growers are discovering how easy it is to produce moldy cannabis without even realizing it, since mold can grow inside the buds and not be visible. This can have major health impacts on users.
Although we all want to let our buds pack on as much weight as possible, don't harvest too late: Buds start to decompose if left on the branches for too long, leading to microbial growth inside. How do you know the proper time to harvest? You'll need to break out your magnifying glass and check out the trichomes, the glandular, hairy part of the buds. Harvest while the trichomes are still clear, before they turn an opaque white, for optimal potency and reduced decomposition. If in doubt, ask a professional to take a look. When harvesting and drying your buds, be sure to use gloves and work with clean surfaces and containers. Just a little contamination can lead to microbial growth on your buds.
To reduce overhead over time create your own cloning regimen within your garden. The initial upfront cost for a small cloning space can be surprisingly low if you stick to the basics. Over time, having a perpetual garden equipped with a cloning area will save you hundreds of dollars in seed/clone costs.


Which of the following best describes a contract for sale that contains a street address instead of a legal description?
(a) It is not valid under the Statute of Frauds.
(b) It is valid only if witnessed.
(c) It is valid, but may lead to a future dispute.
(d) It is a violation of the Code of Ethics.
Legal descriptions are used to identify a parcel's location on the face of the earth without duplication and without confusion with any other parcel. A street address may be inadequate since street names and numbers are often similar in various locations. A legal description of real estate identifies a parcel of land in a manner that rules out confusion with any other parcel. Surveyors are used to identify the boundaries of a parcel and to draw the legal description from the survey.
What is the legal description method which uses topographical features as boundary markers?
The monuments method of legal description uses physical and topographical features of the land to identify the boundaries of the property. The monuments can be natural or man-made reference points such as rocks, trees, riverbanks and so on. This method is the oldest and least accurate method of land description.
What is the primary reference point in a metes and bounds description?
The surveyor's method, also known as the metes and bounds method, can be used to describe regularly or irregularly shaped tracts of real estate. Metes are measurements of distance. Bounds refer to compass directions to property boundaries. The surveyor's method provides the most accurate type of legal description.
The initial reference point for a survey begins at a known point, called a monument. Monuments can be metal or concrete and are found set in the ground. The survey begins by giving directions from the monument to the edge of the property, which is called the point of beginning (POB). The survey continues by describing the directions and distances that make up the outer perimeter of the property. When the survey returns to the POB, it is called a closing.
Who should prepare a legal description?
Legal descriptions are used to identify a parcel's location on the face of the earth without duplication and without confusion with any other parcel. Surveyors are used to identify the boundaries of a parcel and to draw the legal description from the survey.
A property description which reads in part "… run N 73° a distance of 26.8'; thence run E a distance of 100.43'…" is being described by using which method?
The surveyor's method, also known as the metes and bounds method, can be used to describe regularly or irregularly shaped tracts of real estate. Metes are measurements of distance. Bounds refer to compass directions to property boundaries.
The survey begins by giving directions from a known point, the monument, to the edge of the property, which is called the point of beginning (POB). The survey continues by describing the directions and distances that make up the outer perimeter of the property. When the survey returns to the POB, it is called a closing.
Example: "From the monument at the Orange County-Lake County Line run S6°W a distance of 3,415' to the POB; thence, run S85°W a distance of 2,410'; ...thence, run N15°E a distance of 2,805' to the POB."
What is the main north/south line used in the government survey method?
The government survey method, also called the rectangular method, divides the surface of the earth into a checkerboard grid and numbers each square. Each square is then subdivided into smaller squares, and so on.
In Florida, the government survey method begins in Tallahassee by drawing a north/south line and an east/west line, with the lines intersecting at Tallahassee. The north/south line is called the Tallahassee Principal Meridian, and the east/west line is called the Tallahassee Baseline.
Which of the following terms refers to the area between meridians?
7. Which of the following terms refers to the area between meridians?
What is the distance between meridians?
The government survey method, also called the rectangular method, divides the surface of the earth into a checkerboard grid and numbers each square.
In Florida, the north/south principal meridian line intersects the east west baseline at Tallahassee. The state is further subdivided into squares, called townships, by drawing additional north/south and east/west lines at 6-mile intervals. The north/south lines are drawn parallel to the principal meridian and are called meridians, or range lines. The east/west lines are drawn parallel to the baseline and are called baselines, or township lines.
The vertical area between meridians is called a range. The horizontal area between baselines is called a tier. The location of a township can be found by identifying the tier and range in which the township is located.
How many sections does a township contain?
With the government survey method, the state is divided into squares by drawing north/south range lines (or meridians) and east/west township lines (or baselines) at 6-mile intervals. Each of the 6-mile x 6-mile squares created by drawing range lines and township lines represents a township. Thus, a township contains an area of 36 square miles.
Each township is further subdivided into 36 sections. Each section contains 1 square mile. Each section is given a number to identify it, from 1 through 36.
The section numbering begins in the NE corner with #1 and proceeds west to include section numbers 1 through 6. Section #7 is located immediately south of Section #6. Numbering proceeds east to include numbers 7 through 12, with #13 located immediately south of #12, and so on.
How many square feet are in one acre?
One acre contains 43,560 square feet.
A section is 1 mile square. One square mile contains 640 acres.
The S 1/2 of the SW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 14 contains how many acres?
(5) After the last denominator has been used, the amount remaining is the acreage of the parcel. This description contains 20 acres.
Which of the following contains a property described by lot and block number?
The plat method, also known as the lot and block system, is a method of legal description used to identify small parcels of property in subdivided areas and cities. The subdivision or city map is based on a survey that initially describes the entire area, usually by metes and bounds. The area is then cut into streets, lots and often blocks. Each street is named and each block and lot are numbered. The plat shows dimensions, easements and other necessary information.
Once approved by the city or county government, the plat is recorded and indexed by a book and page number for further reference. All legal descriptions of properties within the platted area are then described by reference to the lot number, block number, subdivision name, book number and page number.
Which of the following terms refers to the area between a baseline and a line running parallel to it?
In Florida, the north/south principal meridian line intersects the east west baseline at Tallahassee. The state is further subdivided into squares, called townships, by drawing additional north/south and east/west lines at 6-mile intervals.
The north/south lines are drawn parallel to the principal meridian and are called meridians, or range lines. The east/west lines are drawn parallel to the baseline and are called baselines, or township lines. The vertical area between meridians is called a range. The horizontal area between baselines is called a tier. The location of a township can be found by identifying the tier and range in which the township is located.
Where is the starting point of a government survey in Florida?
In Florida, the government survey method begins in Tallahassee by drawing a north/south line and an east/west line, with the lines intersecting at Tallahassee. All legal descriptions in the state of Florida originate from this point. The north/south line is called the Tallahassee Principal Meridian, and the east/west line is called the Tallahassee Baseline.
How many acres are in one square mile?
One square mile contains 640 acres.
A section is one square mile, so one section contains 640 acres.
A tract of land measures 660 feet along the highway and contains 20 acres. How deep is the tract?
Since Area = Length x Width, we can find the depth of the tract since we know the area and the length along the highway.
871,200 sq ft (Area) ÷ 660 ft (Length along highway) = 1,320 ft (Depth).
How many acres are contained in a parcel of land described by the following legal description?
(5) After the last denominator has been used, the amount remaining is the acreage of the parcel. This description contains 5 acres.
the SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 28, T19S, R10E.
Total acres = 5 acres + 2.5 acres = 7.5 acres.
A parcel of land sold for $30,000 based on a rate of $2.50 per square foot. How many square feet did it contain?
You know that the number of square feet multiplied by $2.50 per square foot is equal to $30,000. So, you can find the total number of square feet in the parcel by dividing the total sale price ($30,000) by the cost per square foot ($2.50).
$30,000 ÷ $2.50 = 12,000 square feet.
In a township, which section is two sections south of Section 10?
Which of the following statements regarding legal descriptions is NOT correct?
(a) A section contains 640 acres.
(b) A township contains 6 square miles.
(c) A mile is 5,280 feet long.
(d) A section is one mile by one mile.
With the government survey method, the state is divided into squares by drawing north/south range lines (or meridians) and east/west township lines (or baselines) at 6-mile intervals.
Each of the 6-mile x 6-mile squares created by drawing range lines and township lines represents a township. One township is 6 miles square and contains an area of 36 square miles.
Each township is subdivided into 36 sections. One section is one mile square and contains one square mile. One square mile, or each section, is 640 acres.
One mile is 5,280 feet long.
A five acre parcel measures 200 feet along the front roadway. Calculate the depth of the property.
Since the problem provides the total acres, you must first convert acres to square feet. Once acre contains 43,560 square feet. So, 5 acres contains 5 x 43,560 square feet, or 217,800 square feet.
"Front" and "depth" are terms referring to the parcel's width and length. Since the area of a parcel is its length multiplied by its width, you can divide the 217,800 square feet (area) by 200 feet to find the depth.
Calculate the number of acres in the NW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of section 17, T1N, R3E.
(5) After the last denominator has been used, the amount remaining is the acreage of the parcel. This description contains 10 acres.
What section number is immediately south of section 1?
Each of the 6-mile x 6-mile squares created by drawing range lines and township lines represents a township. Thus, a township contains an area of 36 square miles. Each township is further subdivided into 36 sections.
Each section contains 1 square mile. Each section is given a number to identify it, from 1 through 36. The section numbering begins in the NE corner with #1 and proceeds west to include section numbers 1 through 6. Section #7 is located immediately south of Section #6. Numbering proceeds east to include numbers 7 through 12, with #13 located immediately south of #12, and so on.
Property that is contained within today's modern residential subdivisions is normally described using which of the following methods of legal description?
The plat method, also known as the lot and block system, is a method of legal description used to identify small parcels of property in subdivided areas and cities. The subdivision or city map is based on a survey that initially describes the entire area, usually by metes and bounds. The area is then cut into streets, lots and often blocks. Each street is named and each block and lot are numbered.
which lien is classified as a voluntary lien?


If the government decision, albeit belated, to create a national database of buyers of government-sponsored savings instruments (sanchyapatras and bonds) and seek some basic information and documents from them is implemented properly, it would surely pay dividend, in terms of payment of yield. According to a report published in this paper on Saturday last, buyers of sanchayapatras and bonds would be required from next month to submit their tax identification numbers (TINs) along with other documents and information. The provision will also be applicable in the case of the current holders of these instruments.
The latest move comes in the wake of strong allegations that in the absence of any monitoring and screening, the savings opportunity offered by the government is being largely abused by a section of unscrupulous people. For individuals, there is a limit to investment in the savings instruments. However, the higher yield rates offered for these compared to other options available in the market coupled with deduction of lower amount of tax on accrued profit has lured some people into resorting to unfair practices and making investment beyond the permissible limit.
Some unscrupulous people have invested in these tools far beyond the permissible limit in the absence of a central database. One can buy sanchyapatras from different banks and post offices well beyond the allowable limit and there is no way of knowing about one's actual volume of purchase. Besides, some people have been making 'benami' investments to cross the investment limit. Against the backdrop of such wrongdoings, there were suggestions from various quarters to create a national database of buyers of savings tools and make submission of TINs mandatory. But the government, as usual, dragged its feet and allowed some people to continue with their mischief.
There is no denying that the sale of government savings tools overshoots the annual target within first few months of a financial year because of highly attractive yield rates. Experts and bankers have been opposing the fixation of such high yield rates since this creates distortion in the financial market. Yet the government has been sticking to the rates taking into consideration the interest of small savers and the retired officials both in private and public sectors.
But the government has been counting a heavy cost due to this kind of non-bank borrowing as it is required to pay a substantial amount as profit to the holders of savings tools. However, the burden would not have been so big had the government created a database of investors in the savings scheme and plug other loopholes in the sale of the instruments.
The government cannot do away with such scheme since this is also a part of the safety net meant for the people belonging to lower and middle income classes. The problem emerges when affluent section of people and others also want to squeeze some benefit out of the scheme taking advantage of the situation. That should be stopped at any cost.

My brother Tony died from leukemia in September 2016. He went into hospice care and passed away a few days later. I was devastated. His loss felt like a physical pain, as though I'd been beaten up. But I also feel so lucky to have been his younger sister.
Sharing stories about him helps me cope with his death.
It's a way to honor the man that he was. He was a rock to so many people. He kept all of his high school friends connected by calling them every week. Every one of them came to the hospice when he was dying because he meant so much to them.
A young guy who worked in my brother's restaurant told me that Tony had changed his life. He said that when he was younger, he wasn't a good husband. Tony took him aside and asked, "What do you need from me to learn how to do the right thing?" My brother coached this man to be a better husband and father. It meant so much to him. He cried when he told me this story.
Letting myself miss my brother has also helped me cope.
My friends have given me so much support and love. We've always been there for each other. I was by a friend's side when her husband was dying. After my brother died, she and other close friends called me every day. It made me feel so cared for.
I run a chapter of Lean In Circles with 3,000 members, and I asked them to help me after my brother died. They were amazing. One woman stepped in and ran the chapter for me for a year.

Kevin Hawkes's bio
author: Arthur A. Levine
illustrator: Kevin Hawkes
Nate Gadol is a great big spirit with eyes as shiny as golden coins and a smile that is lantern bright. He can make anything last as long as it is needed, like a tiny bit of oil that must stretch for eight nights, a flower that needs to stay fresh to cheer up someone ailing, or a small lump of chocolate that grows to allow the Glasers to treat their children over the holiday and, during a harsh winter when medicine is needed more than sweets, spurs them to share what little they have with the O'Malleys. In this charming holiday hybrid story, well-known children's author and editor Arthur A. Levine pairs with award-winning illustrator Kevin Hawkes to offer a mythical, magical take on the way Jewish families came to give and receive gifts over Hanukkah, just as their Christian neighbors do at Christmas, thanks to a loving spirit named Nate Gadol working behind the scenes—together with a certain jolly old soul.
From an imaginative team come a new larger-than-life holiday hero who brings Hanukkah wonder and generosity to anyone in need!

The translation library provides the possibility to automatically translate content. This is realized via the implementation of an API.
Please refer to the admin documentaion on my.xelos.net to get an explanation of all the config parameters that are available in the instance configuration.
The main way to enable the translation of content is to use the \<xiu:translation> tag. The content inside this tag will be sent to the translation module and (if not set otherwise) translated into the language of the current viewing user.
cache_key [string]: only relevant in combination with document_index_id. Defines a second identification method for content inside a model (e.g: $model->title and $model->content). If a document_index_id is set, but no cache_key, the cache_key '_default' is used.
target_language [string]: Only use if you want to request a special language. If blank, the current set language setting of the user is used.
The automated translation process currently includes the translation of the xui tags and the the translation of the search index if enabled (see instance config options).
The translation module will first look into its database tables to check if the requested content already has a translated version available. If not it will create a translation_job element with a translation request for the API in the desired language. If set in the instance config (Translate on demand only) it will create translation jobs for all system languages which have no translation yet.
No new translation_job will be created, if there is already an open job for the exact same content and target_language in the database.
The daemon of the translation module will process these jobs and send requests to the configured api. The translation result is stored in the corresponding object, referenced by id in the translation_job entry.
If there is an error returned from the api, the error_cnt of the translation_job is increased by one and the reason for the error is logged into XF->lib->error. Jobs with a higher error count than 4 will no longer be fetched from the Database and will not be processed. There is currently no mechanism to automatically delete these entries.
If the process detects a change in content, it will delete the translation model and will create a new translation_job for the required language(s).
There are currently two types of models which store the translations.
Translation: for elements without an entry in the document index. (messanger messages, etc.) These elements are identified by its content hash. Currently there is no mechanism in place to automatically delete no longer relevant entries.
It is possible to request translation during runtime by using the method getTranslated of the TranslationController. This is the same method, the automatic inline translation calls, to get either an already cached translation back, or to create a new translation_job if there is no translated_content for the requested language. If the method argument $force_translation is set to true, the created translation_job will not be saved, but processed immediately. This is a synchronous process and make take some time, but the translation for the required language will be available as return value.
## Translation-Feedback / -Correction / -Improvement ## It is possible to improve a automated translation. In places where a non minimal inline translation is shown (with both, original and translated content), there will be a link reachable through the dropdown menu in the folded content display, where it is possible to call the translation_feedback page (Check the access rights in the instance config). Inputs done on this page will be stored in the translation_feedback table. If this user improvement is present, inline translations will display this user improved content instead of the automated content. The short profile of the user who did the improvement will also displayed. There is only one improvement possible for each translation model. If the translation is improved again by the same or a different user, the originally stored improvement will be overwritten.
If the API offers a possibility (e.g.: Transperfect) to feed these improvements back into its learnign mechanism a feedback_job is created which will be processes by the daemon. If there are feedback_jobs available, they will be processed after the translation_jobs in the daemon process() method.


JAPAN TECHNOLOGY proposes a monometal yoyo, "ADEL."It is an orthodox yoyo for competition.
We got a hint from the off string yoyo models. JAPAN TECHNOLOGY finally found the special weight distribution. Bimetal models are mainly used now because they are light, spins well, and is stable.
JAPAN TECHNOLOGY's unique research successfully made the monometal model have a performance similar to Bimetal models by calculating the diameter, width, weight, and shapes.
In cooperation with the production factory, we completed producing ADEL only one year after we had the idea. You can feel its smoothness and move it as you want. With 65 grams, ADEL is just like FiReal. This makes it possible for you to play at speeds of which you would never imagine from its weight.
Please experience the increase of spin in the last half of the combo and the stableness with JAPAN TECHNOLOGY's monometal yoyo.


President and CEO Lou-Ellen Barkan and I send our regrets for this evening, prior commitments prevent us from being with you.
Every week unsolicited screen plays, documentary ideas, music videos, songs, and artwork all related to the experience of caring for a relative with AD cross our desks. It is rare to get something as well written and on target as Taking Leave which portrays a truthful and balanced image of one critical moment in time at one stage of the illness for one person with dementia Mr. Jackson really "gets it". Cordelia's empathic approach to her father exemplifies acceptance and how to "be with" a person with dementia.
With 5.3 million Americans currently diagnosed with Alzheimer's and a projection of 11 - 16 million by mid-century, works like "Taking Leave" can play an important part in raising awareness by realistically portraying the struggles of living with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's and caring for the individual. We have a long way to go to making Alzheimer's a National Priority; works like Taking Leave can help engage the public in critical dialogue about a disease that threatens to bankrupt our health care system and has the potential to be the public health crisis of the 21rst Century.
"...a multi-layered play which combines a sunny outlook on the perils of Alzheimer's with the poignant struggles of a family as it contends with a parent's loss of integrity. The play is engrossing, vivid in its dramatization of illness as it is in its awareness of how a family can self-destruct ...Jackson's writing is always assured and strong in theatrical values"
"...a rich new dramatic comedy...Directed with a subtle, expert touch by Jackson, Taking Leave provokes a great deal of compassionate laughter, but it also manages to be heartbreaking as Eliot rages in his study as surely as Lear did in his storm"
"This witty play is no tragedy, nor is it merely a maudlin disease-of-the-week exercise. Without trivializing a difficult problem, the play forcefully reminds the viewer of the professor's personhood."
"The whole effect is one of gentleness rather than rage at an implacable enemy. 'Heartwarming' is the operative word...an exceptionally fine production."
"Another world premiere of a new play...one that hopefully will be seen in Anchorage someday, is Nagle Jackson's Taking Leave, a comedy about a family dealing with Alzheimer's that's loosely patterned on Shakespeare's 'King Lear'. While the subject matter seems far from comedic, Tony Church's portrayal of the faltering college professor turns the plot into a celebration of life."
