I have entered into the beautiful, vast world of capitalism! Buy things at my store, like my mini-comic O-Tei! It's the perfect gift for the post-Holiday season! Exclamation point!
Why did it take me over a year just to read about 100 pages of a comic?
Anyway, I'm enjoying it thus far. Good art, and an engaging story.
I'm really loving Penny Terrible! Keep it up! You have a a great knack for structure, panel positioning, using the layout of a comic book in more abstract ways and really comes off to give something of a more original comic than you can see elsewhere.
Uh, would your current projects make you too busy to work on anything else right now?
*As in a full other web comic.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE FAVE!!!!!!

HomeScandal and Self-Correction in Kosher Food
The Schmooze
Scandal and Self-Correction in Kosher Food
Timothy D. LyttonJune 26, 2013
Earlier this week Timothy D. Lytton wrote about organized crime and kosher food certification. His blog posts are featured on The Arty Semite courtesy of the Jewish Book Council and My Jewish Learning's Author Blog Series. For more information on the series, please visit:
This past March, the owner of Doheny Glatt Kosher Meat Market, Los Angeles's largest purveyor of kosher meat, was discovered smuggling repackaged meat of unknown provenance through the back door of his butcher shop. The mashgiach (kosher supervisor), had unlocked the door for deliveries and then, against kosher protocol, left the premises to attend to personal business, leaving the market unsupervised. Erupting the day before the start of the Passover holiday, the scandal cast doubt on the status of thousands of briskets roasting in ovens throughout the city. An emergency council of rabbinic authorities held just in time for Passover seder that consumers could presume that meat previously purchased from Doheny was kosher.
The Rabbinical Council of California (RCC), which provided supervision to Doheny's came under fire for the misfeasance of its mashgiach.
As a result of the scandal, the RCC's reputation suffered. Several restaurants under RCC supervision switched to a rival certification agency, Kehilla Kosher. To stem the damage, the RCC called in the nation's largest kosher certifier, the Orthodox Union (OU), to audit its supervision at three L.A. restaurants and reassure the public of its reliability. According to coverage by L.A.'s Jewish Journal:
Rabbi Moshe Elefant, OU chief operating officer for kashrut, said that since his New York-based agency got involved in April, he has visited Los Angeles once and [OU executive rabbinic coordinator Rabbi Yaakov] Luban has visited twice. The OU is the largest kosher certifying agency in the country, but its policy is to leave supervision of local kosher businesses in the hands of local boards of rabbis. In this case, Elefant said, the OU's intent is to support the RCC, not to supplant it. "To a degree, we're competitors," he said. "But as much as we're competitors, we all understand that we have a higher mission here, and we're happy to learn from each other."
Additionally, the RCC asked the Association of Kashrus Organizations (AKO), the national trade association for kosher certifiers, to promulgate a set of standards for all kosher certifiers in Los Angeles.
It now appears that Doheny may reopen under new ownership with RCC supervision.
Although there are occasional scandals today, kosher meat certification has come a long way since the early 1900s when it was estimated that somewhere between 40% and 65% of the meat sold as kosher in New York City was nonkosher. The Doheny scandal illustrates several features of kosher certification that help to account for its improved reliability.
First, kosher agencies are highly brand sensitive, and fierce competition between competing agencies for accounts is the norm. One sees this in the alacrity with which the RCC's main L.A. rival, Kehillah Kosher, acquired RCC accounts and in the RCC's readiness to call in external auditors from the OU to shore up its reputation. Brand competition makes certifiers progressively more vigilant over time to avoid mistakes in their own operations and leads them to scrutinize the operations of their competitors.
Second, kosher agencies are interdependent in the sense that a public scandal caused by one agency tends to undermine public confidence in kosher certification generally, which gives agencies incentive to monitor each other and promote uniformly high industry standards. The OU's willingness to provide an independent audit of RCC operations—free of charge, according to the Jewish Journal—reflects a common interest among rival agencies in reassuring the public that, collectively, kosher certification is reliable.
Third, kosher agencies have developed a shared sense of mission that counteracts incentives to cut corners and promotes cooperation between competing certifiers. Each agency seeks to cultivate among its personnel and in the industry as a whole a religious commitment to what Rabbi Elefant called "a higher mission" of providing reliable kosher certification.
The kosher certification business is far from perfect, but it has come a long way from the era a century ago (see my earlier post on the Baff murder) when widespread fraud and corruption were common.

No more living in the past
Posted by JJ (Tony) in	Reflections and tagged with Ben Watson statue, Callum McManaman, Cup final team, Mackay, Shaun Maloney	 January 23, 2015
All good things must come to an end.
That is something that Wigan Athletic followers know all too well. It is only some twenty months since that euphoric experience at Wembley. But it seems like light years away now.
But life goes on. What happened to the players who were in that famous lineup and where are Wigan Athletic heading now?
That wonderful FA Cup final winning team is now all but gone, only 20 months after that wonderfully heady day at Wembley. It was always a matter of time, but circumstances have accelerated the process.
The news of Ben Watson's impending departure to Watford was a shock for most of us. In our heart of hearts we knew that Shaun Maloney would soon be on his way and it is no surprise to see the club trying to cash in on Callum McManaman, but the Watson case was a bolt out of the blue.
There has been talk about building a Ben Watson statue outside the DW Stadium. One assumes it would show him hanging in mid-air as the ball leaves his head to go into Joe Hart's net. But the statue would represent much more than a great header from the admirable Watson. The header helped them deservedly win that cup and it was the pinnacle of Wigan Athletic's success. In all likelihood it will never happen again.
The team that beat Manchester City at Wembley is etched into the memory of Latics fans. The names of each player roll off the tongue with ease. But how many will still be at the club at the end of this season?
Not many one would say. It did not take long for Roberto Martinez to take Antolin Alcaraz, Arouna Kone, James McCarthy and Joel Robles. Add to that the retirement of the charismatic Paul Scharner. However, at the start of last season the majority of the FA Cup winning side were still at the club, together with others who missed the final through injury.
At the end of last season we saw the departure of the free agents. Jordi Gomez went to Sunderland, and the underrated Jean Beausejour, who missed the Cup final through injury, went back to Chile. What was to prove the hammer blow for Uwe Rosler was to lose the admirable James McArthur to Crystal Palace.
Since Malky Mackay has arrived we have seen Emmerson Boyce descend to the bench. Roger Espinoza has gone back to the United States, where it looks like Shaun Maloney is also heading. The exciting, if frustrating, Callum McManaman is clearly on his way too, albeit with a cash fillip for Mackay.
That famous team has been dismantled. So too have many of the expectations associated with them. In fact expectations have fallen so low that avoiding relegation from the Championship would be largely viewed as positive.
Like it or lump it, the Mackay era is upon us. The Scot has not had an easy time, given the pressure on him from the FA and the media. His record at Wigan so far beggars belief, a woeful tally.
But Mackay is now going to have something that neither Owen Coyle not Uwe Rosler ever had. That is a lower expectation from fans and dealing with the egos of players who were FA Cup winners.
Latics are no longer going to live in the past.
The question is how long will it take for Mackay to turn it around?
← Kvist is back – but for how long?
Another woeful loss – freshening up required →

The Beginning Of The End – Funky Nassau/Beginning Of The End
Buy here | Listen here
Strut presents the definitive reissues of two all-time classic Caribbean soul and funk albums, The Beginning Of The End's 'Funky Nassau' (1971) and 'Beginning Of The End' (1976). Both are available now.
Emerging from Nassau in the Bahamas in 1971, the band was formed around the Munnings brothers (Ray, Leroy and Frank) and the first song they recorded, 'Funky Nassau', became a No. 1 Billboard R'n'B hit, selling over a million copies. "We wanted to create something new," remembers Ray Munnings, "something that was truly Bahamian. We loved funk but wanted to include elements of junkanoo, the indigenous music of The Bahamas." An album was written within a week and recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami. "We brought in more Bahamian themes, like 'Monkey Tamarind', a wild fruit that grows there."
By the time of their second album in 1976, the band was managed by Don Taylor, also Bob Marley's manager. "Don took us to Byron Lee's studio in Jamaica and used Teddy Randazzo (Little Anthony & The Imperials) to direct the sessions," recalls Munnings. "He gave us more of an uptempo jazz funk sound with Chicago-style horns." The album led to a run of incredible bad luck. Booked to support Marvin Gaye's 'What's Goin' On' tour, the US Musicians Union stepped in and ordered a US group to fill the slot. They were then added onto a major Bob Marley tour in 1976 before he injured his foot, cancelling all dates.
These definitive official reissues of 'Funky Nassau' and 'Beginning Of The End' are remastered by The Carvery from original tapes and feature full length tracks from the studio sessions. Both albums feature a history of the albums and the band by vocalist Ray Munnings, alongside rare photos. 'Beginning Of The End' appears on loud- press 2LP for the first time. The CD edition features both albums + all extra singles recorded by the band.

"With manager Buck Showalter attending the law school graduation of daughter Allie, it was John Russell -- the Orioles' normal bench coach -- who ascended to the acting managerial role on Saturday.

Analysis: Pitching decisions looming for Orioles - CapitalGazette.com: Orioles
"It's a tough evaluation," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said earlier this week. "You're always trying to take the best 25 as opposed to the right 25." Um, wouldn't they hopefully be the same 25 people?
No Rill Talk this week. I know, I'm as sad as you are about it.
Happy Birthday to Orioles Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson and to former Orioles Reggie Jackson (he was, you can look it up!) and Gil Coan.
On this date in Orioles history, in 1957, Dick Williams of the Baltimore Orioles hits a 9th-inning, game-tying solo home run off Paul LaPalme of the Chicago White Sox seconds before 10:20 p.m., the curfew set so Chicago can catch a train out of Baltimore. If Williams had done anything else, the White Sox would have won. The game is later replayed from the beginning and Baltimore wins."
In 1983, "At Memorial Stadium, Rich Dotson of the Chicago White Sox pitches a one-hitter against the Baltimore Orioles, but loses, 1 - 0. Baltimore's lone hit is Dan Ford's 8th-inning home run. Storm Davis (7 1/3 innings) and Tippy Martinez (1 1/3 innings) combine in the four-hit shutout, with Martinez taking the win."
In 1990, "The Baltimore Orioles tie an American League record with eight consecutive singles in a seven-run 1st inning against Bobby Witt to beat the Texas Rangers, 13 - 1. The eight straight singles equal a record set by the Washington Senators against the Cleveland Indians in 1951 and matched by the Oakland Athletics against the Chicago White Sox in 1981."
And in 2011, "On a wild night for baseball, four other games go into extra innings, with one game ending in a wild 15th inning. TheOrioles and Yankees are tied, 1 - 1, when the Yanks score two runs off Mike Gonzalez, who is then ejected for beaningChris Dickerson, shattering his batting helmet and sending him to the hospital. Out of pitchers, the O's have to bring in the next day's scheduled starter, Jeremy Guthrie, to complete the inning. Hector Noesi throws 4 scoreless innings to earn the win in his major league debut; called up by the Yanks 16 days earlier, he had yet to pitch before the marathon game forces manager Joe Girardi's hand. Trailing 4 - 1 in the bottom of the 15th, The Orioles then put two runners on base, but Matt Wieters' ground ball headed for right field just nips the foot of baserunner Brandon Snyder, and he is called out for interference, snuffing the O's best chance to tie the game."
Now, just remember that this thing isn't as black as it appears. I have some Open Thread for you folks.

Alexander Wassiljewitsch Alexandrow (, wiss. Transliteration ; *  in Plachino bei Rjasan; † 8. Juli 1946 in Berlin) war ein russischer und sowjetischer Komponist und Chorleiter. Alexandrow komponierte die Oper Rusalka, 1913 und »Der Tod des Iwan Grosny« 1913, eine Sinfonie, eine sinfonische Dichtung, Chorwerke und Volksliedbearbeitungen.

Leben und Karriere
Alexandrow studierte am Sankt Petersburger Konservatorium geistliche Musik bei Anatoli Konstantinowitsch Ljadow und Alexander Konstantinowitsch Glasunow  und in Moskau 1916 bei Sergei Nikiforowitsch Wassilenko. Er war zunächst Musiklehrer in Twer, ab 1922 Lehrer für Musiktheorie am Konservatorium in Moskau. Am 12. Oktober 1928 gründete er und leitete danach das Gesangs- und Tanzensemble der Roten Armee, das Alexandrow-Ensemble.

1941 komponierte er das Lied Der heilige Krieg, 1943 die Hymne der Sowjetunion. Sie blieb bis zum Zerfall der Sowjetunion sowjetische Nationalhymne und wurde mit neuem Text ab 2000 Hymne der Russischen Föderation.

Auszeichnungen
Für seine Verdienste wurde er 1937 als Volkskünstler der UdSSR geehrt sowie in den Jahren von 1942 und 1946 mit dem Stalinpreis ausgezeichnet. Ferner wurde ihm der Leninorden verliehen.

Während der Feierlichkeiten zum 65. Jahrestag des Sieges über Deutschland im Deutsch-Sowjetischen Krieg spielte am 9. Mai 2010 ein mehr als tausend Mitglieder umfassendes Militärorchester auf dem Roten Platz in Moskau Alexandrows Lied Der heilige Krieg.

Tod
Er starb 1946, als oder nachdem er während einer Tour des Alexandrow-Ensembles in Polen und der Tschechoslowakei zu Besuch in Berlin war. Fälschlicherweise wird der Tod Alexandrows des Öfteren mit dem legendären Konzert des Alexandrow-Ensembles auf dem Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin in Verbindung gebracht. Dieses fand jedoch erst am 18. August 1948 statt.

It seems that I have started to produce content a little more consistently over the last month or so. I've also started a multi-part build that I'm very excited to share with you … a beautiful teardrop trailer. Come to the website and check out the first two parts and the back story for the build.
If you are a hipster that likes camping, then what the heck are you doing on the internet. There was no internet in the 1940s; ARPANET was not even thought of as a possibility until 1963, let alone the world wide web (that's www for the newbies)! For those romantic getaways when you leave the kids with Grandma!What they did have in the 1940s was a bunch of returning GIs moving to the suburbs, having babies, and looking for a more comfortable experience of camping. As with all good things from that era, the do-it-yourself variety was sent out to the suburban garages through magazines like Mechanics and Handicrafts (Dec. 1936) and Popular Mechanics (April 1953). Alas I was not around then, but that is probably good because I don't think I could have handled living through the disco era later.
Growing up in the 1980s and 90s (let's make it clear, I'm a Gen Xer not a Millennial) my father, brothers, and I did our fair share of camping. At some Don't Tell Me We Started to Go Soft in the 1950s!point along the way we picked up a travel trailer. I think it appeared sometime around when Mom decided to join us, and she insisted on having a shower. Anyway I digress … or did I? I think though that the camper is what got me soft on camping; sleeping on the hard ground, lack of access to a toilet, no air conditioning, and no screens (window not video) became less appealing. I was no longer a "nature guy." Fast forward twenty years, and as the big 4-0 is starting to loom across the horizon I started thinking about recapturing some of my old youth. (I'm calling it nostalgia not a mid-life crisis!) We don't need to get into all the details, but it includes the outdoors. I'm looking to do some traveling, roughin' it (just a little, you don't want to go overboard on these things), and have it all be inexpensive. Being a bit of a handy person I settled on building my own teardrop trailer.

Amendment 66–the monumental $1 billion school tax increase on the ballot in November–faces a crushing uphill battle in at least one corner of Denver, according to a recent survey.
Denver City Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz's "2013 Citizen Survey" revealed heavy opposition to the proposed annual school tax measure. Sixty-nine percent of respondents said they did not support "a $1 billion school tax increase, benefiting disadvantaged students and adding full-day kindergarten statewide." Faatz's district is notably more conservative than other Denver districts, but other questions on the survey revealed many of the respondents maintain a moderate or liberal bent.
The percentages of support in the survey for Amendment 66 closely mirrors a September poll by Magellan Strategies, in which support could not break the 40% mark.
By a similar margin (68%), residents in Denver's Second District rejected a proposed 5-cent bag tax for retailers.
Strong support also exists for curbs on medical and recreational marijuana use and sales, with 53 percent favoring forgoing any tax revenue in lieu of an outright ban on retail stores in the county.
A narrow majority–52 percent–called for the repeal of the state's "controversial" 15 round magazine limit.
More than 7 in 10 surveyed opposed a repeal of the death penalty or allowing Colorado driver's licenses for illegal immigrants, while favoring the elimination of state vehicle emissions tests.
Sixty-eight percent felt that affordable housing "is not local government's responsibility," and favored marketplace efforts instead. The issue of "affordable housing" is likely to return to Denver in 2014.
On a more liberal track, the respondents did strongly favor bond proposals allowing the city to upgrade infrastructure in the surrounding community and allow the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo to upgrade its facilities with taxes generated from the event.
According to the survey, there were 2,013 responses. Those responses were "self-selected," meaning the respondents were not randomly chosen as they are in scientific polls.
As of this publishing, CompleteColorado.com has not acquired any other such surveys from any other Denver city council offices, but will be asking for those in the coming days.


A digital certificate is data attached to a user's public key which helps others to determine whether this information is authentic or incorrect. The target of using these certificates is to avoid situations of stealing the key of another person.
the digital signature which connects this certificate with the key.
It must be noted that the owner's identifier does not always contain data sufficient to uniquely identify him (it may simply be a conditional name). In such cases, the owner's identification requires the use of additional (which are called out-of-band) measures (before or after obtaining the document, but before using the key).
There are several features describing the elements which e-signature confirms.
Identification. The digital signing confirms the signatory's identity.
Integration. It confirms that the document content document has not been modified after certification.
The e-signature confirms the origin of the certified content. The signer cannot deny his relation to the signed content.
So, this document simplifies the task of determining the ownership of public keys to intended owners.

Q: activting object from another scene in UNity I am having trouble with a project in Unity.  I want to show (it's not visible before that) a button in one scene after clicking on another button in another scene.
Example: THe game is for more than one person, and one of the players (Player1) has one scene shown, another player(Player2) has another scene opened in front of him. The first player want's to give permission to the other player (Player2)  to use (only once) something from his scene. So the first player is clicking on a button to Activate the object/button to the other player. After the other player uses the object/button function, the button is hidden again and not usable, until the first player gives permission again.
How do we make the activation process to the other scene?

A: Since you mentioned that this is a local multiplayer, you need to use some shared object inside the program.
The simplest course of action, as far as I see, is to use some static class.
Store the shared information in this static class, and make it public so that all scenes can access it.
You might need something (some kind of controller script, as usual) in each scene that regularly checks this static class, since you won't have the usual Update method and such directly in the static class itself.

EpiPen Law Passed: Epinephrine For All?
Researchers estimate that up to 15 million Americans have food allergies, reports the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE). Food allergies affect one in every 13 children; that's about two kids in every classroom. A reaction to an allergic food can range from a mild reaction, such as an itchy mouth, to anaphylaxis, which can be deadly.
For those with anaphylaxis, the EpiPen is the first line of dense. The EpiPen contains epinephrine, a drug that can help stop or at least slow down the progression of the allergic reaction. President Obama signed into law a statement that allows schools to have EpiPens available for anyone, even without a prescription.
Children who have a prescription for an EpiPen are already allowed to have their EpiPen at school. So why the new law? The School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act is intended to benefit those kids who didn't know they had an allergy. A food allergy can develop at any point in a person's life, even if they have eaten that food before without problems.
The law also provides schools with incentives to have more trained staff to be readily available during all school hours to administer the EpiPen when needed. The act also gives funding preferences for asthma treatment programs in schools that have an extra supply of EpiPens.
According to the New York Times, 30 states allow schools to keep undesignated epinephrine, but only four states require it. Chicago public schools are one of the places that have undesignated EpiPens and during the 2012-2013 school year, 38 people in the public school system received one of the nonprescription EpiPens.
Out of these 38 people, 21 people did not know they had a allergy. The youngest person that needed one of the nonprescription EpiPens was three years old, the oldest was 19 years old and two people were school staff.
According to the EpiPen website, there are safety concerns that one must be aware of before injecting themselves or another person – from stroke that occurs when you inject in the wrong spot, to side effects that cause problems for people with certain health conditions. For example, you should only inject the EpiPen into the person's outer thigh – don't put it into a vein (this could cause a cerebral hemorrhage), their buttocks, or their hands, fingers, or toes.
Peanuts and tree nuts are a common allergy that can lead to a serious reaction. Image by the USDA.
You should use epinephrine with caution if you have heart disease or are taking certain medications. Epinephrine can cause side effects such as increased heart rate, strong or irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, paleness, dizziness, weakness, headache, apprehension, and anxiety.
How does this apply to kids and adults who have an allergic reaction at school when they have no prescription for the EpiPen? Without a doctor's evaluation, the injection carries risks, but legislators believe that the benefits of immediate treatment outweigh associated risks.
According to a recent study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, food allergies have increased 50 percent between 1997 and 2011. There is no cure for food allergies and no one knows for certain why food allergies are on the rise, but they are. For this reason, the School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act could save lives.
Despite the safety concerns, epinephrine is essential in treating anaphylaxis, and according to the FDA's safety sheet. Schools participating in this program should ensure that all personnel are carefully trained, and have access to the necessary health information for anyone who could be injected with an EpiPen.

Home NEWS News Fourth time's the charm
Fourth time's the charm
Democrats and progressives rejoice as Gov. Walker is finally toppled
by Allison Geyer
Matthew Norman
Tony Evers (left) and Mandela Barnes declared victory at around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Tom Powell had a feeling. A former Dane County Board supervisor, Madison Common Council member and legislative aide to state Rep. Terese Berceau, he's been in rooms with people who are about to lose elections. This wasn't going to be one of them. "You can feel the buzz," Powell said Tuesday night during Democrat Tony Evers' watch party at the Orpheum Theater. "Right now I'm cautiously optimistic. But in 10 minutes, I don't know."
Powell's gut was right. The mild-mannered state schools superintendent claimed victory at around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday after spending hours locked in a dead heat with Republican Gov. Scott Walker. Alongside running mate Mandela Barnes — who will become the state's first African-American lieutenant governor — Evers addressed hundreds of ecstatic supporters after the Associated Press called the race. "It's time for change, folks," Evers told the cheering crowd. "The voters have spoken."
Walker, however, has not conceded. "We need the official canvass and for military ballots to be counted before any decision can be made," Walker senior advisor Brian Reisinger said in a statement. "Thousands of ballots were damaged and had to be recreated. Until there is a comparison of the original ballots to the recreated ballots, there is no way to judge their validity."
Earlier in the evening, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch told supporters to prepare for a "long, drawn-out recount." But a state law signed by Walker last year will likely prevent that from happening. The new rules — tightened in response to 2016 Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein's demand for a recount after Donald Trump won the Wisconsin — only allow candidates to request a recount if they lost by 1 percent or less. Evers won by 1.4 percent.
"It's hard to justify [Stein's] recount to the taxpayers when [Trump] won by over 22k votes," Walker wrote on Facebook in 2016. Unofficial results put Evers ahead of Walker by about 29,000 votes.
One of the most-watched races of the midterms, Wisconsin's gubernatorial contest had national significance, with Evers' victory giving Democrats a much-needed boost in an area that was essential for Trump's victory in 2016. For the state, the shift in leadership ends an eight-year period of Republican dominance that pushed the once-progressive state to the right.
Walker, who was swept into office as part of the tea party wave in 2010, vaulted into national prominence in 2011 with his passage of Act 10, which eliminated collective bargaining for public employees. Since then he has styled himself as a "bold reformer," overseeing a host of deeply conservative policies such as expanding private school vouchers, placing restrictions on welfare, limiting access to abortion and reproductive care and instituting "right to work" laws aimed at weakening private-sector unions.
Evers, a former teacher and school administrator first elected state superintendent of public instruction in 2009, positioned himself as an even-keeled problem-solver and an answer to the divisiveness that has marred Walker's eight years in office. During the campaign, Evers focused on increasing public education funding by $1.4 billion, expanding access to affordable health care and fixing the state's deteriorating roads.
"I will be focused on solving problems, not picking political fights, I will never make promises I cannot keep and I will always work for you," Evers said.
State Rep. Sondy Pope (D-Mount Horeb) emphasized the importance of Evers' victory. Even though Wisconsin Republicans maintained control of the state Legislature (and in the case of the Senate, strengthened their hold), winning the governorship gives Democrats a seat at the bargaining table. "I'm 68 and could retire, but I'm too stubborn to quit, because I care so deeply about K-12 education," Pope said earlier in the evening. "If Tony wins, that turns on the lights."
Aasha Dobbs, a teacher at Hawthorne Elementary School, said teachers were "fired up about Evers" and his plan to boost education funding by $1.4 billion after years of budget cuts under Walker. When asked about Walker's attempt to brand himself as "the education governor," Dobbs rolled her eyes. "Morale is low at a lot of schools," she said. "Stuff just keeps getting taken away from us."
Excitement at Evers' party started to build shortly before midnight when news broke that Milwaukee County — a Democratic stronghold — had more than 45,000 uncounted absentee ballots. Supporters crowded around the stage, occasionally bursting into spontaneous chants of "Tony! Tony!"
There were still hundreds in the theater by the time Evers declared victory, and the late hour had little effect on their enthusiasm.
As Evers took the stage, Jodi Vander Molen could barely contain her joy — and her disbelief. "I can't believe this is actually happening," she said repeatedly as people around her embraced and posed for photos. "This is a great day for Wisconsin — it's a return to the progressive, good and kind Wisconsin that I love," she said. "It's great to see it again."

There are so many things surrounding the Super Bowl it's easy to forget the actual football game. With the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks each trying to make their own little piece of history, this has a chance to be a classic conclusion to the NFL playoffs.
Forgetting about deflated balls and media appearances, forced or wanted, we're left with two very good teams that are difficult to run against and differ in the way they get points and move the ball. Tom Brady has found his youth again this season, but running isn't a forgotten art for the Patriots. The Seahawks begin and end things with Lynch bulldozing defensive lines, but Russell Wilson can be unstoppable even after almost losing a game all on his own.
There's no doubt that Marshawn Lynch is the most important offensive weapon the Seattle Seahawks have. In the NFC championship game against the Green Bay Packers he churned out his career best performance with 183 yards from scrimmage, which included rushing for 148 yards between the tackles (a career high), getting nine first downs on his own and being used in 58 snaps. There was no need for his expertise in the previous Super Bowl, but he'll have a chance to rectify that against the Patriots.
The Patriots look to Rob Gronkowski to be their solver for the Seahawks' secondary, which despite some early season problems is still probably the best in the NFL, although Aaron Rodgers, when he actually got the chance to show it, managed to find plenty of holes among them. The Seahawks have allowed 11 touchdowns by tight ends while interceptions just two passes intended for the position. They've allowed only six touchdowns by running backs and wide receivers in the passing game while intercepting 11 passes intended for those positions. Gronkowski has 12 touchdowns in the regular season, tied for most among tight ends.
And still, the Seahawks secondary is a problem the Patriots need to face. A lot of its ability to handle it comes in the form of Richard Sherman, who should be without any elbow problems to start the game with. In the postseason, teams are 6-of-17 when targeting outside right of the numbers, where Sherman almost always lines up. Teams complete 67.9% of their passes when targeting anywhere else on the field when playing the Seahawks.
Besides limiting Gronkowski, the key to stopping the Patriots is putting pressure on Tom Brady, early and often. He proved against the Baltimore Ravens that the "known" truth about him which is roughing him up early in the game takes him out of focus doesn't always work as the Ravens messed up on too many occasions that day. The Seahawks finished the regular season with incredible defensive form, including ranking second in the NFL from weeks 14 through 17 in sack percentage.
One thing that both teams are similar at is the way they got to the Super Bowl. Both teams scored just one field goal in their two postseason games and lead all teams with 11 (Patriots) and 7 (Seahawks) touchdowns. They are also the two leading teams in third down conversions in this postseasion, and pretty much moving the chains and not settling for three points on most possessions (Remember the Seahawks fake field goal?) helped them get to where they are.
It's hard actually settling on a favorite heading into this game.The way the Patriots ran all over the Colts should make them scary, but they were pushed to the brink against the Ravens. The Seahawks came out of oblivion to win the NFC championship game. This is one of these games in which you know almost no lead is safe. More than anything, we need to hope it won't be over before the half time show artist takes the stage.

Something is terribly…terribly…wrong at our house.
Sissy practically skips off to do her geometry homework, her face wreathed in smiles.
Sometimes I'll come across her facetiming her geometry bestie and they're GIGGLING while working their way through homework.
Supplements and complements to angles? High-larious!
Congruent polygons? What a gas!!
Direct and indirect proofs??! Nuthin' better, num, num num!
Is this our brave new world? Is this the new world order?! Has the earth shifted on its axis and highschool girls in the 21st century really LIKE geometry?? Because back in the 20th century, highschool girls hated the beshizzle out of it. So much so that we had to spend our entire geometry class ignoring whatever nonsense was going on at the front of the room and instead talk about our perm-on-top-of-already-curly hair. (This in turn got one of those olde timey chalkdust filled erasers whipped by the geometry teacher at our aforementioned curly hair. That makes a girl hate geometry for more reasons than one.) And geometry homework time? Had to be spent weeping loudly at the kitchen table. Yeah. Way, WAY more crying over geometry back in the 20th century.
Sissy's geometry mystery prompted me to gaze deeply at her textbook (in case each problem was followed by a delicious chocolate treat or something which would explain my puzzlement away).
Geometry for Enjoyment and Challenge.
Ah, yes. This DOES explain it all. Here in the 21st century highschool girls are doing geometry for enjoyment. And challenge!
Back in the 20th century, highschool girls were doing geometry for tears. And Hell.

Q: Xcode 4.2.1 ARC issue a project which is iOS5 only and ARC enabled compiles on Xcode 4.3.1 beta. When compiling on 4.2.1. LLVM is throwing warnings like these:

"ARC forbids synthesizing a property of an Objective-C object with
  unspecified ownership or storage attribute"

So the property definitions looks like this:
@property (nonatomic) NSObject* object

ARC is enabled in Build Settings. Adding a strong attribute fixes this warning but this should be default right?
Is there a difference between the Xcode versions in handling those property defaults?
Thanks
Andi

A: This is not beta specific Xcode 4.2.1 has the same behavior (betas are under NDA and should only legally be discussed in apple's developer forums):
Strong is the default setting for ivars. For ivars if you want __unsafe_unretained or __weak you must specify.
It has always been best practice to specify attributes in property declarations. One example that pops most quickly to mind is the UILabel property text, defined as:
@property(nonatomic,copy) NSString *text; // default is nil

In this example the copy attribute tells me I can pass an NSMutableString reference to the label and it will make a copy and I can go on mutating the string the label will remain the same. The behavior is clearly defined.
And I suspect it's the clearly defined behavior which was the most prominent reason that the ARC compiler forces you to specify storage attributes. Remember with the new runtimes eliminating the need to declare ivars for properties and @synthesize for accessor methods, it's conceivable that the property declaration is the only point you will notice if you accidentally retained a delegate.
Also consider the possibility that a few classes in a project may have been excluded from ARC in these cases there internal implementation would be completely opaque to ARC.

Description An exterior view of Christ Church Cathedral, located at 900 Broadway Avenue, in downtown Nashville. Christ Church Cathedral serves as the Cathedral for the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee. Originally built in 1830 on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Church Street, Christ Church. In 1890, a new lot was purchased for construction of a new worship facility on Broad and McLemore (Ninth Avenue). The present structure was completed in 1894. This Victorian Gothic architecture was designed by Francis Hatch Kimball of New York. It was constructed of Sewanee sandstone, a gift from the University of the South. Bowling Green grey stone was used in the trim, the gargoyles and later in the tower. The gabled and hipped roof is comprised of slate shingles and has a very complex structure. A mix of Gothic arched and circular shaped, stained glass windows with finished stone blocks surrounding the glass are frequently placed amongst the walls. Forms part of Record Group 412, Photographs Collection. 1 photograph negative : b & w ; 4 x 5 in.

An old fortress housing a small museum watches over the entire site, which is one of the last unspoilt natural and ancient historical areas remaining in Mediterranean.
Also don't forget to have a coffe at the Likursi castle on the top of a dominant hill over Saranda, only 2 km far from the town. It is another attractive, historical site, that was built up during XVI -XV centuries, by Sultan Suleimani in his campaign to conquer Corfu.
From the walls of the castle the tourist can catch by eye all city of Saranda and Corfu, the nice Greek Island.
If you have more time you should go to the magical place of "Blue Eye" spring (in Albanian "Syri i Kalter"), only 18 km northeast of Saranda. At this beautiful spot, shaded by centuries old oak trees, a twelve headed dragon, according to the legend, jeausly guarded and held back the spring waters from the villagers. Consequently, pagan rituals were carried out by sacrificing young voluptuous maidens to the gods of the same waters.
Your stay in Saranda will be an even more enriching experience if you also visit the nearby traditional villages of Lukova, Piqerasi and Borshi where unique panoramic sea views, beautiful mountain and olive grove landscapes are combined with the charm of village environment and the most dramatic and magnificent scenery along the whole length of Ionian sea.

Luxury at height - the evolution of penthouses over a century
10 May 2021 • Rebecca
Exclusive, with panoramic views that take your breath away and targeted for investments of millions of euros, the coveted penthouses have not always been synonymous with luxury. At one time, they represented only the humble dwellings where the servants of rich families took refuge. How did they turn from Cinderellas to the prom princesses of the real estate market?
If you had told someone a century ago that penthouses would become some of the most sought after, but also expensive types of homes in the world, they would probably have laughed heartily. And rightly so, considering the fact that in those days there were no more than dirty, uninhabitable rooms, in which the laundries were arranged, or which served as storage space for construction materials. Few would have ventured to the top floor of the buildings, especially since the newly invented elevators did not yet offer today's safety.
The genesis of penthouses, as we know them today, is closely linked to New York City. At the beginning of the twentieth century, in the post-war period, wealthy New York families found a new use, turning them into resting rooms for servants, driven by the need to maximize space, amid the economic boom followed by a growing population and, naturally, higher demand for housing.
After 1920, however, the penthouses would break new grounds when the rich but eager for a bohemian life Americans, noticing their potential, gave them a new shine. Soon, romance and intimacy, as well as the unique views they offered began to attract increasing interest. The architects did not waste time, transforming the old dirty corners into bright houses with green terraces – oases of peace in which artists could find inspiration while having the bustle of the city at their feet.
The term penthouse is said to have been first used by writer Steven Ruttenbaum in the biography of architect Emery Roth, who built the 15-story twin towers Myron Arms and Jerome Palace in New York in 1922-1923, hosts to the new types of homes whose fame grew every day.
One of the most luxurious penthouses built at the time was designed two years later in Manhattan, on Fifth Avenue. With no less than 54 rooms, a panoramic terrace, 17 bathrooms, two kitchens, and a living room that could accommodate up to 125 guests, the apartment has become a symbol of luxury and opulence. It was arranged at the request of the "grain empire" heiress, Marjorie Merriweather Post, the daughter of the founder of Post-Consumer Brands. The penthouse was her condition for agreeing to give up the mansion she owned to build, in its place, a 14-story building.
Since then, the penthouses have spread to all continents and adapted to new architectural trends, maintaining their status as exclusive, top homes.
Trends in the design of some of the world's most luxurious penthouses in recent years include the use of luxury materials such as marble and natural stone, rural accents, ambient lights, pools, and fireplaces, as well as pergolas – necessary to admire the views regardless of the season, accompanied by comfortable seating areas and green spaces.
Almost a century later, also in New York, we find one of the most luxurious penthouses in the world: 51/52W, designed in one of the most impressive housing complexes in the city, Bloomberg Tower. The duplex has an area of about 800 square meters, five bedrooms, and an impressive view, which can be admired from the inside through windows over 3.6 meters high.
Another example comes from Singapore: Wallich Residence, the highest residential development in the country, which is actually a collection of 181 apartments, including a penthouse located on floors 62-64 of the building. It is distinguished by its all-glass walls, a huge living room, a billiard room, a swimming pool, and a roof garden, all highlighted by an intelligent lighting system.
Europe also boasts iconic penthouses, such as The Heron, housed in a 36-story building in central London. The 550-square-meter duplex with marble floors has four bathrooms, four bedrooms, a Boffi kitchen, and a central room with a retractable ceiling.
Romania is also gaining ground in this niche. Successful examples are the penthouses in One United Properties portfolio, in projects such as One Floreasca Lake, One Herăstrău Park, One Mircea Eliade, One Verdi Park, or One Peninsula. As an example, the penthouse located on the top floor – 20 – of One Mircea Eliade residential complex has, among other things, a 9-meter long and 3-meter wide swimming pool set right in the living room, luxury furniture, and exclusive design, complemented by a 360-degree view of the city.

A massive weekend for racing for Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector Aluminium Athletes that were in action at the Australian Cross Country Champs on Saturday and on Sunday at Sunshine Coast 70.3 and Ballina Triathlon.
On one of the hardest courses going around at the Maleny Golf Course, SCTA had 3 juniors lining up in the Australian Cross Country Championships. SCTA / Protector Aluminium Junior Scholarship Holder Peyton Craig put the perfect race together to claim the National U/14 Years Male Title. He ended up with 3 Gold Medals with the Individual Title, Team Title and Relay Title over 2 days of fast and furious racing.
The weather gods didn't shine on the Sunshine Coast 70.3 this year. With predictions of torrential rain and storms. Fortunately the storms stayed away but the rain came in bursts throughout the event which made it cooler with light winds and fast times.
SCTA Club Member Simon Hearn had a great race where he was crowned the fastest age Grouper on the course and winning the 25-29 Years. The Team of Michael Hooper / Michael Woodcock / Jason Shortis were the first Team home taking out the Male Teams as well.
While done in Ballina, there was a bit of fine tuning for the upcoming World Champs over the sprint distance. Brett Stalley had a sprint finished and was just pipped out on the category win. Matt Wolstencroft (45-49) took bragging rights over Romy Wolstencroft (18-19) with both 2nd in their respective categories while Pauline Ashley (45-49) was 3rd.
The Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector Aluminium Athletes were out in force on home turf for the Sunshine Coast Marathon Run Festival and in Townsville for their annual Triathlon Festival.
On the Saturday Ryan Marsh lined up in the Townville Triathlon Festival over the Sprint Distance where he had a great race and learning more how to race over this distance. He finished 7th Overall and took 3rd Place 14-19 Years against some older competitors.
On the Sunshine Coast for the Marathon Run festival, athletes were greeted with cool conditions that were perfect for running. As the day went on the predicted westerly wind came thru and was quite strong in gusts.
Jason Shortis (45-49) lead the charge in the Marathon with a category win and 8th overall. Gary Binet (50-54) who, with a few others are credited with getting this event off the ground and supporting the Ronald McDonalds charity house, decided to run this year instead of running around sorting out the course. He wanted to beat his personal best that he set 5 years ago and came up 17 secs short. A great effort and secured his category win and 9th overall. Kate "Doc" Gazzard (35-39) had another solid run with a 6th place. Awesome work from Wade Scougall who was one of the pacers giving up his time to guide the athletes around the course.
The Half Marathon saw Kaya Shults (15-17) take 3rd in her category, while both Meegan Walker and Ange Brearley had solid runs as well.
In the 10km, Jake Hynes (18-20) led the charge with a solid run taking the category win and 9th overall. The girls had a field day out there as well with Romy Wolstencroft (18-20) led the charge of the Females with the overall 10km title and category win. Clare Rickards (21-24) taking the category win and 6th female overall. Marion Tuin (30-34) in her final preps of World 70.3 Champs in South Africa, finished 2nd in her category and 7th female overall.
The 5km event was another dominate display from the SCTA Crew with Michael Hooper (21-24), 4th overall, SCTA / Protector Aluminium Junior Scholarship Holders Peyton Craig (15-17), 6th Overall and Macey Roberts (15-17), 5th Female overall. Maddi Dutton (21-24), 10th Female overall, Drew Walker (40-44) and Drew Westbrook (45-49) all finished 2nd in their respective categories.
While in the 2km Run we saw Heidi Craig (5-10) continue her great running with a 10th Female overall and 7th in her category.
Another weekend of racing from Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector Aluminium athletes that were in action at Queensland Athletics Cross Country Champs at Maleny, Brisbane Marathon Run Festival and Alpe D'heuz Triathlon.
Saturday saw the running of the Queensland Cross Country Champs at Maleny, the venue for the National Champs on 25th August. SCTA Junior Scholarship Holders, Peyton Craig and Macey Roberts had their first outings as this years recipients. Both raced well with Peyton 9th and Macey 13th.
The other Juniors of Mia Wooldridge (5th), Heidi Craig (8th), Ryan Marsh (14th) And Erin Wooldridge (14th) all ran very well on a very hilly and tough course. With an afternoon start time the temps hit around the 28 degree mark making the conditions even tougher.
On Sunday Orla Gallagher lined up in the Half Marathon as part of the Brisbane Marathon Run Festival. She took out bragging rights beating her fellow work colleagues across the line with a 26th Place 30-39. In the 10km we had Selena Corcoran finish in 42nd Place 40-49.
Arguably one of the toughest races on the circuit the famous Alpe D'heuz Triathlon was held on Thursday over a 2.2km sim, 118km Cycle - including the famous Alpe D'huez hill climb and finish off with a 20km run. SCTA Club Member Carrie Lester used it as a final hit out before EmbrunMan on 15th august. Carrie had a great day out with a 3rd Place in Pro Female.
A massive weekend of racing for Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector Aluminium Athletes that were in action at NSW Schools Cross Country Champs, Yeppoon Triathlon festival, Zurich 5150 Triathlon, Queensland Schools Orienteering Championships, Sydney Harbour 5km Fun Run, Glasshouse Trail Series and WTS Edmonton.
In Europe we had Romy Wolstencroft line up in her first 5150 (OD for the Old School) in Zurich. It was her last race before heading home to concentrate on the World Champs in September. A few storms rolled thru that delayed the start, but she toed the line with World IM Champion Daniella Ryf. Romy had a solid day out for her first OD finishing 5th Pro. Safe travels home.
SCTA Club Members, Kelly Ann Perkins and Ryan Fisher lined up at the WTS Edmonton Sprint Distance over the weekend. The worlds best toeing the line and neither of them disappointed. KP was 21st in Professional Female, while Ryan Fisher 22nd in the Men's.
Anastasia Heikkila was in action at the Queensland schools Orienteering Championships over the weekend that saw her take out a Bronze Medal Senior Girls and backed up in the Senior Teams to take a Silver Medal. Its been a hectic few weekends for Tash after the Kokoda Challenge, Qld Schools Cross Country Champs and now with the orienteering.
Down at Eastern Creek in NSW, the NSW Cross Country Champs were being held with the Wooldridge Sisters in action. Both Mia and Ella had already qualified for National Cross Country thru Athletics NSW, so it was Erin's last chance to qualify for NSW. Erin had a strong run but wasn't able to get in that top 6 finishing 29th in a very competitive 15 Years Girls (She has a chance to qualify this weekend at Qld Athletics Cross Country Champs at Maleny on Saturday). Next up was Ella in the 16 Years Girls and she had a great race to finish 13th. The little pocket rocket Mia "aka Ratbag" finished the day off in style with a strong sprint finish that saw her overtake the 2 girls in front to take out the NSW State Title in the 13 years girls.
Ella Wooldridge lined up on the Sunday in the Sydney Harbour 5km Fun Run where she did a PB 5km breaking the 20 min barrier in 19.56. She won her category (16-19) and was 2nd Female overall / 32nd Overall amongst the boys.
Cairns Ironman doubled as Asia Pacific Championships. Fast a furious racing with the added bonus of Kona slots was always going to make this race an important one. A choppy swim that saw slower times, a strong wind on the bike meant it was going to be a good slog for the last 60km home from Port Douglas and a humid run made it interesting.
SCTA had 3 representatives in the big race. Leading the charge was Tahlia Paskin with a strong cycle time that saw her leading the 25-29 years off the bike. A tough run saw her hold onto 3rd spot. With 2 slots on offer both girls in front took their place for Kona. Tahlia finished in 10:20:17 and 19th Female Overall.
SCTA Club Members Hannah Blanchett had a strong debut at an Ironman finishing off with a strong run saw her pass a few competitions to finish 5th 25-29 in a time of 11:03:38 along with Timmy Hortz that saw a very competitive 30-34 category that he lined up against but powered to the finish line in a time of 9:45:32 and 14th.
In the Cairns 70.3, the charge was led by SCTA Club Member Simon Hearn, who didn't just win the 25-29 Years, but recorded the fastest overall time. Erin Reid had a solid day out with a 8th (40-44) along with Dan Collins 10th (40-44) while Grant Elliot had a strong race with 71st (45-49).
While in Japan, SCTA Junior Scholarship Holder Romy Wolstencroft, lined up in her debut Elite ITU race at the Osaka Asian Cup race. Over the draft legal format she led the 2nd pack off the bike and posted the fastest run on the day to finish 8th Elite Female.
The SCTA Juniors had a day out in the Sun at the recent Sunshine Coast Regional Schools Cross Country Trials. With 6 being taken from each age category to compete at the Queensland Cross Country Championships to be held on the same venue as the Regionals at the Maroochydore Cricket Fields.
Race # 5 and # 6 of the Allez Sport Sunshine Coast Cross Country Series saw some great results from the SCTA crew. Peyton Craig continued his dominance with race wins in both races over the 3km, Olivia Latimer claimed 1st and 2nd at both races, Jessica Lee continued her great running with a 2nd and 5th. The ever consistent Macey Roberts took 4th and a 3rd while Ron Craig 5th and 8th.
In the 6 Race Series we had Peyton Craig Series Winner U/14 Male. 2nd Places went to Jess Lee (U/40), Olivia Latimer (40-49), Gary Turner (70+) and Meg Roberts (14-29). Macey Roberts 3rd (U/18) Well done to all that competed over the series.
At the Queensland Mountain Running Champs, Nicholas Hull's last minute entry paid dividends with him taking 3rd overall and 2nd in OPEN Males, competing over 13.3km course.
One of the hardest races on the Calendar was staged at San Francisco with the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. With freezing cold waters, hilly bike course and sand running and the infamous sand ladder climb, SCTA Club Member Ryan Fisher took part. Unfortunately a puncture put him out of contention but went on to finish 11th Professional Male.
Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector Aluminium Athletes have been in action over the past 2 weeks at varying events including Runaway Noosa Marathon and Noosa Swim, Allez Sport Sunshine Coast Cross Country Series Race # 4 at Ewen Maddock Dam, UWA Half Marathon, Ultraman Australia, Sunshine Coast Cycling Club ITT Race # 1 at North Arm, Gold Coast Junior Cycle Tour, Anzac 25 Cycle Race and Ipswich Festival Criterium.
At Ewen Maddock Dam for round 4 of the Allez Sport Cross Country Series saw category wins to Gary Turner (6km) while on the podium in 2nd was Chris George (6km) and Jessica Lee (10km) in 3rd place was Macey Roberts (4km) and Pipi Barlow (2km).

At the Runaway Noosa Marathon Festival we had a few lining up over several distances with Courtney Akrigg on the podium in 3rd over the 31.6km distance, while Jason Shortis was a pace runner in the half marathon for the 1hr 30min mark. Kelly Enright, Toni Duetzmann and Emma Hogan all ran well.
Lucy Bowden lined up in the first race of the Sunshine Coast Cycling Club ITT series on the weekend where she was the fastest female and 7th overall amongst the boys.
SCTA Club Member Carmen Atkinson lined up in Ultraman Australia where she exercised a few of her demons from last years event where she crashed out. She went on to finish 5th Female over the 3 day journey.
It has been a busy couple of weeks for Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector aluminium Athletes and Coaches. This is a combination of races from the past 3 weeks plus the naming of the preliminary Australian Age Group Team for the upcoming World Championships on the Gold Coast in September for the Olympic and Sprint Distance events.
The Commonwealth Games lived up to all expectations and more. With SCTA athlete Rachel James (PNG) and Coach Toby Coote in attendance. While it was very hectic in the lead up to the race and opening ceremony, it was also a great experience. Race day started with a 5.45am bike drop off for the truck, then some breakfast and a bus ride to the race venue at Southport Broadwater.
The females got the perfect conditions for racing opposed to the rain that greeted the Males. Rachel had all her warm up procedures done and then it was race time. Rachel nailed the start and hit the water first. She had a good swim to exit the water not far from a few other athletes. She rode a few down and after the 3rd lap she knew she wasn't going to get caught and fist pumped the crowd to which she got a massive applause.
Out onto the run, it took a lap for her to get going but once she did Rachel finished it off well. A nice sprint finish with the lady from Trinidad and Tobago saw her get the applause form the crowd and finish in 20th spot. To think 4 years ago she got lapped out of the race. There was a no lapping rule in this race but if it was in place, she would of made it out onto the run leg. a lot of hard work and sacrifices has gone in to getting this result. Well done Rach.
It was a great arvo on Saturday where we had the SCTA end of Season get together and Season Awards. A massive thankyou to all that came and help celebrate a very successful 2017-18 Season. With a massive 2018-19 coming up it was a chance for everyone to get together and have a relaxing afternoon at Pier 33. All award recipients are below in the Full results.
Over the Easter Weekend we had the endurance athletes take on the Wild Horse Mountain Criterium Run in very wet and muddy conditions which made for a very fun day indeed. With distances of 11km, 22km, 33km and 55km to choose from. Tania Gover (1st 40-49) took on the 55km to finish 4th overall, while Overall Race wins went to Kate Gazzard in 33km and Josh Corcoran in the 11km. Erin Reid (2nd 40-49) was 3rd overall female in the 22km. Tara Partridge and Mark Corcoran had great runs as well.
Well done to Jessica Lee for taking out the series win in the 35-39 Years at the Bribie Island Triathlon Series. Consisting of 4 races, Jess had a great season to be crowned the winner.
Well done to the 21 SCTA athletes that were named in the Australian Preliminary Team for the Gold Coast World Triathlon Championships for the Sprint and Olympic Distance.

When you are ready to remodel and upgrade your old or out-dated kitchen, bathroom, whole floor, or finally add that bonus room or additional garage stall, SME Inc of Seattle is your electrical contractor of choice for the electrical design and electrical installation. The design professionals and licensed electricians at SME Inc of Seattle will work closely with you and your family during the design and construction phases of your remodel or addition project to ensure that your expectations and your budget stay closely aligned.
Before beginning a home remodel or addition (or any remodel, for that matter), it is very important to understand your budget and your goals – and to make sure they are not in conflict with each other. Electrical design and installation plans should take into account functionality, aesthetics, and include a list of both need-to-have and nice-to-have items. If you are planning on staying in your house for a long time, then perhaps items that enhance the resale value of your house are not as important to you as the must-have items. Likewise, if enhancing the sales price of your home is a top consideration; your budget priorities may change to make sure those items get included at the expense of some of the nice-to-have options.
If you have an older home, one of the first items to consider is the scope of your planned addition or remodel, and whether or not your electrical service (electrical panel) is large enough to handle the potential increased electrical loads from any new appliances, added square footage, or lighting. An electrical service upgrade can be an unexpected source of cost escalation during any renovation, but well worth the added cost towards your project if it is necessary. The electrical design and electrical estimating professionals at SME Inc of Seattle will help you understand your electrical needs and work with you to develop an electrical installation that meets your design expectations and your budget.
Establishing the electrical wiring diagram or electrical schematic early on during the design phase of your project will be the most cost-effective for you. Think about how you will use your new addition or remodeled rooms. Picture in your mind where you want to have electrical outlets, electrical switches, electrical lighting, electrical receptacles, data /communication outlets, tv outlets, and make sure that information is shown on the electrical diagram. Do you want to control certain lights from multiple locations? If so, electrical wiring for switches becomes more complex and requires additional coordination during the design phase of your project.
Once the in-wall (rough-in) portion of your project is complete, unless there are other areas of work, the electricians will probably leave the work site while the drywall and painting portions of your project are completed. Be sure to contact the electrical contractor in advance (or make sure your general contractor does this) to enable the electrical contractor to efficiently schedule their licensed electricians to come out and finish your project.
Home additions and remodels require considerable coordination between the electrical contractor, plumbing contractor, general construction contractor, and others. SME Inc of Seattle's team of experienced residential electricians has the expertise to help make your home addition or remodel vision a reality. From evaluating your current home wiring situation, to making electrical design recommendations, to suggesting appropriate electrical products such as plugs, switches, outlets, standard or custom light fixtures, appliances, and other items, the electrical professionals at SME will help you make your home addition or remodel a resounding success.

Office contact - patient and very helpful. I was thrilled that there were no hidden charges. So you stood by your original estimate. Electrician in Maple Valley - excellent, courteous and did a great job.
