Quick Reference
In synoptic meteorology, the establishment in the mid-latitudes of a high-pressure system that interrupts or diverts for a considerable period the typically eastward movement of depressions and other synoptic features in the zonal flow. Over western Europe, for example, blocking often forces depressions to move northward toward Scandinavia or southward over southern France and Spain.

8 Ways to Motivate Yourself
It's 1:00pm. Your energy is low. Thought processes stop mid-stream. You know what needs to get done, but your body is resisting it.
Following these 5 easy steps will pump up that motivation and get you to where you need to be in order to conquer the world, ok, maybe not the world, but at least the tasks and goals you're desperate to complete.
- Create a Routine – first and foremost, an essential part of remaining motivated is to create yourself a schedule/routine, whether it be for studying, blogging, or going to the gym, it's important to make sure that you have a set time-frame to allow you to approach your goals sensibly. I more than anyone could not remain motivated without my current routine, and I know that I am not alone in this.
- Seek Inspiration – whenever I'm lacking motivation it's usually because I have zero inspiration, and although I'm rarely lacking inspiration for my blog, I sometimes need it for other aspects of my life such as my fitness regime, my diet, my work life, sometimes we all just need a burst of motivation; Pinterest and Weheartit is what does it for me, both sites are full of beautiful images, poetry, and quotes, etc, and it really is a great motivation tool – you'll be sure to come away generating 100000 ideas a minute.
- Remind Yourself Why You Started – it can sometimes be hard to find motivation if you find yourself forgetting why you started something in the first place, whether it be a project at work or something in your personal life, it's essential for you to stop for a moment and remind yourself where you hoped it would take you, and just try your hardest to implement a new strategy, but focus focus focus on where you hope this project is going to lead, and then make it happen. E.g. Want to lose weight but lacking the motivation to put down that cookie for that piece of Broccoli? Remember why you decided to lose weight in the first place, and I promise you, a burst of motivation will appear.
- Take a Break – sometimes overworking ourselves is the biggest de-motivator, just stop, take a deep breath, go make yourself some tea, grab a KitKat, and take a damn break for once – it's scientifically proven that the brain can only focus on one thing for 15 minutes at a time before we start getting restless and our minds start to wander. I highly recommend you taking a 15 minute break every hour or so, so work for 45 minutes, take a break, work for another 45 minutes, and so on, it really will help you, a lot.
- Set Smaller Goals – by setting smaller goals you are less likely to become overwhelmed (which is a huge motivation killer in itself). It also helps to reward yourself when you reach each of these goals, thus motivating you to complete more of them, making the end goal a lot easier to reach. It's hard to maintain motivation for a single goal for such a long time. The solution? Set smaller goals along the way.
- Eat Some Chocolate – not only is it delicious, but studies also show that chocolate triggers a release of dopamine, which will elevate your heart rate and significantly increase motivation, white chocolate does so even more intensely. It also increases serotonin, a neurotransmitter that acts as an antidepressant which promotes calm, thus helping motivate you and keep you happy.
- Think Positively – sometimes when I'm feeling a little demotivated, I'll have a whinge and a whine and complain that I can't do it and my optimist boyfriend will come back with, "well not with that attitude you can't" and it ALWAYS puts things in to perspective for me… positive thinking is key. If you believe you can do something, you're like 95% more successful in completing it, true story.
- Tidy Your Workspace – I wasn't going to include this one but a tidy workspace really does create a tidy mind, and it's so much easier to find motivation when clutter isn't clouding your mind.
Do you have any tips and tricks that allow you to keep yourself motivated? Let me know in the comments.

NIST's 'VERDiCT' may double concrete's lifespanPublished on February 15th, 2009 | By: firstname.lastname@example.com
(corrected, courtesy of the comments from Dale Bentz, below)
The "verdict" is in – engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology say they have developed a technique that promises to double the service life of concrete. The soon-to-be patented method is the result of a project called VERDiCT – Viscosity Enhancers Reducing Diffusion in Concrete Technology. The technique entails mixing a nanoadditive into concrete to boost the viscosity of water molecules in its micropores. This, in turn, thickens the concrete solution at a microscopic level, slowing the diffusion of chloride and sulfate ions from road salt and other destructive agents into the concrete's structure.
By delaying the entry of ions known to cause cracks and internal damage to concrete over time, NIST's technique forestalls deterioration, says Project Manager Dale Bentz. According to Bentz, previous efforts to boost concrete's lifespan have focused on increasing its density and making it less porous. While resulting products have proved stronger than conventional concrete, they've also demonstrated a propensity for cracking, he says. NIST's approach is different, he contends, because its focus is microscopic viscosity. "Swimming through a pool of honey takes longer than making it through a pool of water," he stresses. The key to NIST's technique is the size of the additive's molecules, he reports in a paper submitted to Concrete International magazine.
He says his team learned that – while additives with large molecules, such as cellulose ether and xanthum gum, can increase concrete's viscosity – they aren't effective at slowing ion diffusion. "When additive molecules are large but present in a low concentration, it is easy for the chloride ions to go around them, but when you have a higher concentration of smaller molecules increasing the solution viscosity, it is more effective in impeding diffusion of the ions," he explains. Numerous experiments proved that additives with nanoscale molecules worked best at slowing ion diffusion. Another lesson learned was that, while additives could be mixed directly into concrete, better performance could be achieved by saturating sand and, then, mixing the sand into concrete.
Looking ahead, Bentz sees expense as a potential obstacle to commercialization. In an online Feb. 9, 2009, Technology Review article, he reveals that additives totaled as much as 10 percent of the mixing water. his concrete's composition. "The industry is comfortable with one percent, so there's a cost factor, in that it'll cost 10 percent more," he admits. "Conventional admixtures are generally added at a concentration of 2 % of the mixing water or less. Thus, this additive could cost 5 times more than the cost of a conventional admixture and hence the desire to find better additives with equivalent activity at lower concentrations," says Bentz Still, Bentz is optimistic. "We've demonstrated proof of concept, and now we'd like to find an additive that works at three or five percent concentration," he says, noting that research is ongoing. Certainly the need for NIST's technique exists. As the primary ingredient in millions of miles of roads and more than 600,000 bridges in the United States alone, concrete is an essential infrastructure component. Yet, according to a 2007 Federal Highway Administration report, more than 25 percent of U.S. bridges are rated as "structurally deficient" or "functionally obsolete." In a separate infrastructure report issued this year, the American Society of Civil Engineers, gave U.S. bridges a "C" and roads a shameful grade of "D-."

3 Responses to NIST's 'VERDiCT' may double concrete's lifespan
As the previous comments have pointed out, an effective air void system will certainly be required to prevent freeze/thaw and salt scaling damage. The intent of the present additive is to reduce diffusion (and sorption) rates for deleterious species attacking the concrete from the environment. This would include chloride ions from deicing salts and sea spray that may accelerate corrosion of the steel reinforcement, and sulfate ions from sulfate-rich soils that may cause sulfate attack.
To correct a few statements in the article above, the additive is added at a concentration of 10 % of the mixing water, not of the total concrete composition. Conventional admixtures are generally added at a concentration of 2 % of the mixing water or less. Thus, this additive could cost 5 times more than the cost of a conventional admixture and hence the desire to find better additives with equivalent activity at lower concentrations.
Also, the best performance has been obtained using a solution of the admixture to pre-saturate lightweight fine aggregates (not generally nonporous ordinary sand).
As the first comment pointed out, pozzolans such as silica fume and fly ash can be a very effective strategy for decreasing diffusion rates, particularly if (early-age) cracking can be avoided. These pozzolans are commonly employed throughout the industry at the present time.
It sounds to me that this treatment will prevent in-situ formation of new phases (Friedel's salt, sulfate damage) that can damage the medium from crystallization pressure, and corrosion of reinforcing steel. However, the addiditve will do nothing to prevent salt scaling, which is superficial damage that occurs irrespective of the thermodynamic conditions in the concrete matrix (degree of saturation, and composition). If salt scaling is not prevented, this additive will be useless because the ingress of aggressive species will accelerate as the surface is damaged. Salt scaling can be prevented with adequate air entrainment. The protective mechanism being the suction imposed on the pore solution by the ice that forms in the voids. So in conjunction with adequate and proper air entrainment, this additive may be extremely effective.
Sirs; 2 major factors in concrete deterioration are freeze-thaw and Cl ions. For freeze-thaw resistance ~ 6 % air used to be specified, and for Cl resistance, pozzolon was added – the Roman concrete.
Could the treatment be a surface one only, to maintain F-T resistance, with fly ash/micro-silica additive for Cl resistance. The Olympic stadium in Montreal is a prime example of lack of air entrainment with water reducing agents, and no F-T resistance – started to come apart soon after construction; no salt up there in the roof.
Will your additive produce a F-T resistant concrete, and a lower % additive, by changing the particle size distribution? Your % addititive is more than the amount of cement currently used in mass concrete. Too many fine particles make too many small pores wiich resist the ability of the ice front to extrude thru the mass, thus building up destructive pressure.

Rapper Lil Boosie is asking fans for their prayers after revealing he is battling cancer.
The hip-hop star, real name Torrence Hatch, has been struggling with diabetes for years and on Wednesday morning (25Nov15), he took to Instagram to share the news of his latest health crisis.
He posted a photo of himself sitting at a table and captioned it, "I need all my fans to pray for me Doctor just told me I have cancer on my kidneys prayer is power that's why I'm letting the world know prayfaboosie (sic)".
The Louisiana native subsequently removed the caption, but fans had already taken note and have since been flooding his page with messages of support and sympathy.
The 33 year old has been working to rebuild his career following his release from prison last year (14), when he completed a five-year sentence for drug charges.
His comeback tour earlier this year (15) didn't run smoothly - he had to cancel a show in Charlotte, North Carolina in February (15) after he was hospitalized for dehydration, while he also cut short a gig in New York in May (15) after falling ill after his insulin medication for diabetes was packed in luggage that failed to arrive in the Big Apple with him.

T-Mobile introduced a $1.5 billion stuck buyback program on Wednesday morning.
"Since launching Un-carrier, T-Cellular has delivered unmatched progress and continues to take share in a quickly altering and aggressive wi-fi business. This repurchase program underscores our Board of Administrators' and administration crew's confidence in our enterprise and our dedication to creating worth for shareholders," mentioned John Legere President and CEO of T-Cellular. "Our robust steadiness sheet and money stream technology give us the flexibility to return capital whereas persevering with to make vital investments in our community and operations. 2018 goes to be one other thrilling 12 months in wi-fi and we will not wait to get began."
T-Cellular is only one of many corporations anticipated to provoke inventory repurchase applications forward of President Trump's tax reform plan. Financial institution of America not too long ago introduced a further $5 billion inventory buyback program, following an already-planned $12 billion repurchase initiative, which garnered criticism from Senator Chuck Schumer, who mentioned that transfer was " one other sign massive companies can odor the massive tax reduce they've coming."
T-Cellular mentioned Deutsche Telekom AG, its father or mother firm, will not purchase again any widespread inventory. The repurchase program "might embody open market purchases, non-public negotiated transactions or in any other case," the corporate mentioned.
T-Cellular mentioned it's going to analyze market circumstances earlier than making potential widespread inventory repurchases and notes that the "program could also be suspended or discontinued on the firm's discretion."

I read this week of a meeting near Hebron, between Israeli right-wingers and Palestinian traditionalists exploring the possibility of a single state for all. what struck me was that they seemed to be leaving Gaza out of the equation, so it was a two state solution with Gaza as a separate state. So I thought: why not have multiple states? They could be united in a federation.
We could have Gaza for Islamic separatists, Central Israel for left-wingers who want a predominately-Jewish state, Galillee (I can never spell that but you know what I mean) which would be a mixed Jewish-Arab state, the West-Bank would be a left-wing predominately-Palestinian state and finally around Jerusalem: this is the part I'm least sure of - perhaps a Halachic state. I'm not sure about the Negev, perhaps it would be split between several states.
Each federal-state would be fiscally independent but required to make some kind of contribution to a central management body (eg the national-state), which would also manage the water resources and some other stuff.
There would be strict controls on militarization obviously.
The main problem I can envisage right now is what to call my five-state country: Palestine or Israel?
I considered combinations but then I had a brain wave, but considering that its my idea I think we should call it Palestein,

Farm to Fork Menu
"At The Unquowa School we strive to serve nourishing, delicious and sustainably grown food — thus empowering our students to make choices that have a positive influence on their personal health, family, community and the surrounding environment."
—Unquowa's Farm-to-Fork Policy Statement
Our daily Farm-to-Fork menu includes a hot entree, hot soup, and a salad bar. As part of our school's effort to join the UNESCO's Decade of Sustainable Education, our dining program focuses on serving as much fresh regional and seasonal fare as possible with very little packaging waste. We serve hormone-free dairy products and cage-free eggs, procure most of our fruits, vegetables and free-range meats in the Connecticut area, and our students compost the scraps from our kitchen. Our breads are baked here at Unquowa and are a regular and favorite item on the menu. Our goal is to be sure that our dining program—both snack and lunch—sets an example of sound nutrition, clear ethics and environmental awareness. A very brief chat by our head chef at the beginning of each lunch about the origin and/or nutritional value of items on that day's menu makes these goals naturally and gradually clear to our children. In addition, our students spend time each year at Sport Hill Farm, an organic vegetable farm just up the road from school, planting and harvesting to learn first-hand where food comes from.
Our school and kitchen are both peanut and tree-nut free. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available at every lunch.
Family Style
At Unquowa, we view mealtime as an opportunity to build community within the school, and to foster values like sharing, taking turns, respect and responsibility. Children of mixed grades are assigned monthly to circular tables for eight, with a teacher at each table to guide conversation, manners and food choices. Table assignments eliminate the social angst often felt by children as they enter a school dining room and must choose a seat, and they allow teachers to encourage students to get to know other children with whom they may not have otherwise spent time. Lunch is served family style, and the eldest at the table brings the serving bowls from the kitchen. Students set and clear their own tables and return dishes and food to the kitchen. Lunch is a busy, upbeat, and very important part of the school day.
Snack, served at 10:15a.m. daily, is a time for students to replenish and regroup, either with their advisory or out on the playground for recess. An extension of our farm to fork dining program, snack is made up primarily of whole fruits, water and a crunchy carbohydrate.

"Facials are degrading — and that's why they're so hot."
… So says sex columnist feature writer in regards to the demonstration of discharging semen on to somebody's face. Yet, the interest of the facial can't be summed up with that solitary term. Or maybe, this demonstration that is turned into the standard coda in porn is about substantially more than the yearning to overwhelm or embarrass a sex partner. Understanding what makes it such a pervasive figure of speech in grown-up films (and in individuals' private sexual lives) implies understanding an especially male aching for acknowledgment.
Hostile to erotic entertainment activists concur with at any rate Savage's initial three words; in late works, both have referred to the developing prominence of the "facial" as confirmation of the misogyny of standard erotica. On the flip side of the ideological range, sex-positive women's activist Clarisse Thorn composed for Jezebel in May that "facials feel truly debasing to me." Despite their different legislative issues, Savage, Dines, Jensen and Thorn all utilization a similar word — "corrupting" –-for facials, giving a strikingly uncommon case of agreement in contemporary sex composing.
The facial has a generally late history.
In a meeting, sex instructor let me know that early stag motion pictures never indicated discharge; if men discharged by any stretch of the imagination, they did as such inside ladies' bodies. (It's surprising that the porn that still components discharge in the vagina is presently a generally little specialty known as "creampie.") That changed in the 1970s, when porn motion pictures turned out to be longer, scripted elements with greater spending plans. Since there would be more than one sex cavort in the film, outside discharge was the check that a particular scene had finished. Porn student of history Linda Williams looks at this to the way that tunes were dispersed out in Hollywood musicals, with kitschy exchange in the middle of the showcase numbers that were the centerpieces of the movies. Be that as it may, in the '70s and '80s, the vast majority of these discharges were onto backs, butts, or bosoms — scarcely ever onto faces.
Specialist proposes that the AIDS emergency and the worry with more secure sex was what made the facial well known. "Cum on me, not in me" was a prominent sex teacher motto as far back as the late 1980s. Discharging on a lady's stomach, notwithstanding, more often than not implied that the camera wouldn't give the crowd a chance to see the performer's look. In any case, if the male on-screen character went ahead her face, the viewer could see two things without a moment's delay: proof of male joy (symbolized by the discharge) and the similarly critical sign that a lady's response to that delight mattered. With sex now so perilous — and HIV especially prone to be spread through semen — facials were generally "safe." But in the period of AIDS, they were additionally convincing visual confirmation that a lady wasn't undermined by a man's semen. In that sense facials were, practically from the begin, more about ladies' acknowledgment of men's bodies than about ladies' debasement.
The sheer measure of porn highlighting facial cumshots is vast to the point that it's difficult to envision a thorough investigation of every last bit of it. Be that as it may, two things appear to be clear. Initially, noted in a meeting with me, inquiries from undergrads about facials have risen significantly lately. This isn't something individuals are simply watching porn stars do; it's something a considerable measure of young fellows (and some young ladies) need to attempt themselves. Second, as — a previous porno analyst — brought up, significantly more straight porn highlights ladies cheerfully tolerating facials than responding with appall and clear mortification. That acknowledgment might be faked, however it recommends that the essential turn-on about facials for men isn't the yearning to corrupt ladies. (encourage recommended that the way that facials are additionally so normal in gay male erotic entertainment – where the sexual governmental issues are fundamentally unique – contends against the presumption that going ahead somebody's face is established in men's misogyny.)
A couple of years back, in a humanities course on the body, my class was talking about a standout amongst the most acclaimed determinations from the now-famous Vagina Monologs, "In light of the fact that He Liked to Look at It". The monolog recounts the tale of a lady who thought her vagina was "unimaginably revolting" until she meets a man named Bob, who loves to gaze at — and taste — her vulva with joy and ponder. Sway's grip of her body is the way to her self-acknowledgment. Amid our dialog of the monolog, a male understudy noted intrepidly that he thought numerous men felt a similar route about their penises. Maybe, he recommended, the extreme interest of facials in porn (and genuine living) was about men's yearning for that same experience of being approved as alluring, as great, as "not grimy." For a young fellow raised with the feeling that his body – and particularly his penis – is "disturbing", a lady's eagerness to acknowledge a facial is a seriously intense wellspring of assertion.
In my discussions I shared this story. Both concurred that instead of seeing the facial as attached in the drive to stigmatize, it may without a doubt be ideal to view it as aching for endorsement. She called attention to that as far as she can tell, numerous ladies (frequently in light of current circumstances) have a troublesome time trusting that corruption isn't at the base of straight men's interest with facials. Regardless, mortification and attestation aren't incongruent responses to a similar demonstration; a sentiment outrage when your partner discharges all over isn't dependent upon his meaning to belittle you. Nobody ought to be committed to persist embarrassment for another person's aching for approval.
In the meantime (as maybe with butt-centric sex), many individuals battle to trust that getting a facial is something a lady could appreciate. She recounted to me a tale about a workshop she ran as of late on a school grounds amid which a young lady shared that she encountered her first climax when her beau went ahead her face. "Nothing else that was said that day stunned the crowd to such an extent. I could tell many people didn't trust her. In any case, I did." She commented that some other ladies responded with antagonistic vibe, "as though by conceding a preferring for facials, she was submitting a demonstration of savagery against other ladies." In the time of porn wars, maybe not by any means butt-centric sex is as politicized as the subject of where the discharge lands.
That classroom dialog about facials and the Vagina Monologs had an exceptional wrap up. A female understudy swung to the person who'd raised the point of semen and approval and asked him, "So you're stating that when a man goes ahead a lady's face, it's not about making her grimy — it's about making him feel clean?" The young fellow reddened, the class tittered. "Yes," he said, "that is it. Also, that is the thing that makes it so hot."

Christel Le Coq
Foundeur & B.Sensory CEO
Erotic reading lover, I wanted to unite the power of words to the potential of connected objects to imagine a new way to read and take pleasure, solo or duo.
Because erotic literature is the one that triggers the best feelings, I offer you the B.Sensory experience to go further in the game. Lisez, vibrez !
The Little Bird is the first sex toy synchronised to an erotic reading application.
Thanks to it, words become caresses and reading becomes a real sensory experience .
An original concept awarded in Las Vegas of an CES Innovation Award in January 2016 in the "Wearable technologies" category.
The Little Bird was especially designed to allow you to use it wherever you want (at home or outside), whenever you want, very discreetly. Via the B.Sensory application, read your ebooks in the classic or "vibrating" mode or enjoy the 10 different vibrations thanks to the remote control.
At the restaurant, at a party or to your mother-in-law, share a moment of intimacy with your partner. Next to you or on the other side of the world, a simple connexion will do to exchange vibrant messages and give him the control of the Little Bird.
After downloading for free the B.Sensory application on your smartphone or your tablet, choose a "vibrating" erotic novel and start the reading.
Over the text, play with the words and your phone… A simple caress to reveal the text triggers the vibrations of the sex toy in harmony with the intensity of the story. At any time, you can change the vibrations or replay the sequence.
While reading in standard version, use the remote control directly from the ebook to vibrate whenever you want !
You can also simply use the "remote control" mode of the application to vibrate solo or duo.

Type "Testimonial" in the subject line. You can also leave your testimonial on the Beggin' Fur A Brushin' Dog Grooming Facebook page.Sue and Boerne Bramlett: From the very first minute I met Joyce, I completely trusted her. I do not say this lightly, either. My furbaby, Boerne (a 22-pound Schnauzer with the heart of 122-pound German Shepherd-ha) is my companion and friend. So, I would never hand him over to just anyone. She has always given him the most excellent care and I have never been anything but completely pleased to see him prance out after 'getting a new hairdo." One of the most memorable days of my life was made complete by this great lady. I was asked to be Grand Marshall of the 2007 Homecoming parade. Of course, my friend would ride with me and yes, a Schnauzer in the lead car of the parade. I asked Joyce for an appointment; Boerne wanted to look really fine. Not only did she have him groomed, sparkly and shiny with gold glitter, she surprised me with white doggie tuxedo collar complete with PURPLE bow tie and gave me a purple bow tie to match. Me in my white blouse/black suit and Boerne all black, white collar and our purple bowties to match?? Of course, he stole the show... Joyce is definitely proficient in the technical skills of dog grooming; her dogs always look great. However, it's not just about the skills she possesses. I think that a little piece of each of her dogs lives in her heart--she really cares for them and about them. It's as though she has adopted each one into her extended family.I have referred Joyce to many people and to my knowledge, they have all been perfectly happy with the care and grooming services that she provides. Having always been so pleased myself, it is very easy to say..."I know this great lady; if you take your puppy child to her for care and grooming, you will really be pleased..." Sue and Boerne Bramlett Karen and Scooter Claus: First, I would like to say that I wish I lived closer to Beggin Fur A Brushin. I have driven all the way from Rantoul to get my little boy, Scooter, groomed by Joyce. She is the BEST groomer that I have ever used for him. The most important thing I can say about Joyce and her grooming is that she really is dedicated to her work. She treats her 'clients' as if they were one of her own. She is a highly skilled groomer. She takes her time and it shows. Her work is impeccable. I highly recommend her. Karen & Scooter Claus Irene Bowen: Joyce and I were in grooming school together when we met. I love Joyce's openess and honesty in her dealings with people, and her integrity as a groomer is really hard to match. She is a very thorough groomer, and really works at keeping up on the latest grooming techniques and styles for the breeds. We attended a grooming seminar together once, where I learned her enthusiasm for cocker spaniels specifically - is unmatched in the grooming world - as far as I have noticed! She is a wonderful friend, and support as a fellow groomer - a rare quality in this line of work. I am really grateful to have her as a friend, and would highly recommend her as a groomer. Your animals could not be in better hands. Sincerely, Irene C. Bowen Curtis and Crystal Dillow: Stanley is more than a thick-coated, entertaining Pomeranian with an extensive canine vocabulary; he is the center of our family! As a "local" celebrity with a personality characteristic enough for a storybook, Stanley must always look his best. The health and happiness of our seventeen-pound friend is of highest importance to us, so that's why we choose Joyce. In addition to providing superior bathing and grooming services, Joyce spends time getting to know each of her pet-customers. She has alerted us when Stanley does not seem to be acting like his usual self and has done wonders to maintain balance with his sensitive skin!We discovered Joyce soon after she opened her business, yet were hesitant as protective parents to try another groomer. From Stanley's first visit when we saw him lick her face through the window (true!) and every visit since, we have been more than pleased. Stanley's hair is shiny and smooth, he smells great, and he prances after the spa treatment which includes a seasonal neck bandana. We have experienced other doggie salons that just do not measure up to the excellent care that Stanley receives at Beggin' Fur a Brushin'! How do we know Stanley is happy with his services? He gets excited when we talk about visiting his "friend" Joyce (as we call her) and always attempts to drop-in for a visit during our strolls past her shop. So, if you're seeking a place where your pet receives personalized attention and leaves rejuvenated; we recommend giving Joyce a call! Triple-Satisfied Customer: Stanley ("Fuzzybutt") Dillow Owners: Curtis & Crystal Lara Long: How delightful to see our Casey as the 4th of July Groom Dog of the Month. Joyce has been grooming our boy for years and I must say, out of all the groomers he has ever seen Joyce is right up there on top of the list. Her love for our "children" is so genuine and believe me, your pets KNOW who cares about them and who doesn't. Casey loves Joyce and I feel such a level of confidence when I leave him with her. So here's to many, many more years of visits to Casey's good friend. LaraStephanie Main: Joyce does the best when it comes to grooming the Cocker Spaniel! I would give her a call when your pet needs a good grooming! Stephanie and the Crew at Classy Country CockersGail McConnell: Joyce treats your pet like he/she is one of her own "babies" and our pets have come to love visiting her shop. Not only do they come home looking like "magazine puppy models" but they always smell wonderful and have on the latest scarf creation Joyce has come up with. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our "kids". :)Laura DeOrnellas: Even if you are not close to Bement . . . plan ahead and make a day out of it . . . lots to do in surrounding towns. Joyce is the best and worth the drive!!!LeAndra Vogelzang: Joyce is AMAZING! Sadie, our Norwegian Elkhound, went and had the spa treatment this afternoon. Any of my friends would LOVE taking their babies to visit Joyce.Carol Allen: Joyce is a god send for my dogs Charlie and Riley. They always are so nice, clean and well brushed when I pick them up. Am very happy with her services.Pam Bailey: Joyce is the greatestLashelle Plank: Joyce is well worth the drive . . . and know this from experience . . . Harley loves going to see her and Joyce does an AWESOME job every time . . . she also always has great advice for me on what is best for my pet . . . LOVE BFAB.Shannon Dwinnells: Joyce does a fabulous job! Abby comes home looking great every time . . .Judy Link: Joyce is awesome; not only does Maggie Rose love her . . . so do we! She's the best ever!

Recently, I have strugling with strange issue in which my C# project constantly builds. This might not look like a big issue, but multiply this by 20 and you will end up wasting considerable amount of time. I have looked for any ideas, being logical or not - from tracking if any file is modified to whether the xaml compiler make some hacky things.
What I found out is that the problem was located in the Content and Resource file types - if by any reason its action is Copy Always it will trigger full build, even they does not affect the other output (does not sound very practical). Nevertelless, setting in to Copy if newer resolves the issue.
P.S. If the problem persists you might what to delete the *.suo files as well (Thanks Zhoro for the tip :)).

Who's Who of running world will be in Alamosa in July to commemorate 1968 Olympic marathon trials
Make Plans to Attend
- WHAT: 50-Year Reunion of 1968 Olympic Marathon Trials held August 18, 1968, in Alamosa, Colorado.
- WHEN: July 27-29, 2018; on July 28, the runners will participate in an 8K run that largely follows the same marathon course Alamosa set up for the 1968 U.S. Olympic Marathon trials
- WHERE: Adams State University and Alamosa, Colorado.
- RESERVATIONS: To register for the event, book a room to stay, attend the banquet, or get additional information, please contact the Adams State Alumni Office at 719-587-8110 or 1-800-824-6494 (ext. 8), or email.
The names that put distance running and high-altitude training on the map will return to Alamosa and Adams State University this summer to mark 50 years since the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials were held Aug. 18, 1968, in this high-altitude city. An 8K run for all comers is scheduled for Saturday, July 28.
Frank Shorter, Billy Mills, Amby Burfoot, Bill Clark, Hal Higdon and other U.S. distance running greats will join U.S. Hall of Fame running coach Joe I. Vigil for a 50-year reunion to reflect on what became the start of a running boom in the United States and an emphasis on the benefits of training at high altitude such as Alamosa's 7,544-foot elevation.
The fact that Alamosa had a similar altitude as 1968 Olympic Games host Mexico City brought the nation's best marathon runners here to train, and convinced the AAU Long Distance Running Committee to hold the U.S. Olympic marathon trials in Alamosa.
With Vigil and co-director Buddy Edelen organizing the training and marathon events, the seeds also were planted for the development of one of America's most successful collegiate distance running programs. With 54 running national championships - men and women combined - Adams State is among the most successful schools for national titles of any school in any sport in any collegiate division.
Adams State University Track and Field Director Damon Martin will play host for the three-day event. Martin succeeded Vigil at the helm of one of the premier running programs in the United States, and has carved a legacy with his own impressive string of coaching men's and women's national title teams at Adams State. It has been the combined result of Vigil and Martin's run of national titles at Adams State that has established Alamosa as the "City of Champions."
On Saturday morning, July 28, the runners will participate in an 8K run that largely follows the same marathon course Alamosa set up for the 1968 U.S. Olympic Marathon trials. That evening, a banquet will be held at Adams State to honor the running legends and recognize Alamosa and Adams State's role in making popular high-altitude training.
Six-time Pikes Peak marathon champion Steve Gachupin, also known as the "King of the Mountain," is expected to participate in the 1968 reunion. So are Burfoot and Clark, who finished first and second, respectively, in the 1968 Boston Marathon. Masters running legend Jan Frisbe is expected to attend the Alamosa reunion, as is Dave Costill, one of the pioneers of research on runners and director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University.
Other legends coming in for the event include Deana Kastor, who trained under Vigil in Alamosa and earned a bronze medal in the marathon during the 2004 Athens Olympics; Steve Bosley, co-founder of the popular Bolder Boulder; and Steve Jones, who ran 2:08:05 to break the world marathon record at the 1984 Chicago Marathon.
Shorter, who won gold in the 1972 Olympic Games marathon, will be among the running stars returning to Alamosa. Another will be the legendary Mills, the Lakota Sioux runner who became the first American to win the gold medal in the 10,000-meter run at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games.
It literally will be a who's-who of the running world descending on Alamosa for the 50-year reunion of the Alamosa Marathon. To register for the July 28 8K run, email or click the link below.

Rep. Victor Kohring of Wasilla, Pete Kott of Eagle River and Bruce Weyhrauch of Juneau, all Republicans, were arrested Friday.
Prosecutors allege the scheme unfolded as lawmakers weighed a new petroleum profits tax structure and a new contract for a natural gas pipeline last year.
Kott explicitly linked his support of the pipeline and the company's preferred version of the tax proposal to benefits during a teleconference with company officials, according to the indictment.
"You'll get your gas line, the governor gets his bill, and I'll get my job in Barbados," he told company executives, the indictment states.
The tax passed, but the contract for the pipeline negotiated by former Gov. Frank Murkowski was never approved.
The indictment does not name the company, but an attorney for VECO Corp. said it was the company involved.
Kott is accused of accepting $8,993 in payments, $2,750 in polling expenses and a future contract as a lobbyist in exchange for his support of the pipeline and a tax proposal that favored the company, according to court documents.
Kohring is accused of demanding and accepting up to $2,600 in cash and a $3,000 job for a relative from VECO executives in exchange for his support. The indictment also alleges Kohring sought but did not receive a $17,000 loan for credit card debt.
Weyhrauch is charged with helping advance the oil service company's causes in exchange for the promise of legal work in the future for the company, the indictment said.
FBI spokesman Eric Gonzalez said the arrests stemmed from an investigation that led federal agents last summer to raid the offices of at least six lawmakers, including Kott and Weyhrauch.
Amy Menard, an attorney representing VECO in the investigation, told The Associated Press that the Anchorage-based corporation has turned over more than 100,000 pages of documents to the government, she said.
"VECO has been cooperating since day one, since it learned of the investigation. The government has indicated to the company that it is satisfied with the cooperation and is looking forward to continued cooperation," she said.
Kott's son, Peter Kott Jr., declined comment when reached at the family's Eagle River business. Weyhrauch's attorney Doug Pope and Kott's attorney James Wendt declined to comment on the case.
John Henry Browne, an attorney for Kohring, said the lawmaker plans to fight the charges.
"He has a good deal of faith in the system," Browne said.
Weyhrauch did not run for re-election to his house seat in November. Kott, a former House speaker, lost a bid to retain his seat in the August primary. It was not clear Friday if they ever took the jobs they were allegedly promised after they left the Legislature; however, Kott is not a registered lobbyist.
Kohring was charged with extortion, attempted extortion, bribery and conspiracy. Kott and Weyhrauch each face four counts, including extortion, bribery and wire or mail fraud.
A combined trial for Kott and Weyhrauch was set for July 9 in Anchorage. A trial date was not set for Kohring. If convicted of all charges, each of the men could face up to 55 tears in prison and a $1 million fine. All were to be released Friday on $20,000 bonds.

Total time
This marshmallow recipe includes tips for easy homemade marshmallows that are fluffy and delicious every time.
Makes about 30 Marshmallows
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 3 packages unflavored gelatin
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Coconut oil or shortening
- Confectioner's sugar
- Stir together ½ cup of lukewarm water and gelatin in the bowl of an electric mixer and allow to stand while making the syrup.
- Add sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining ½ cup of lukewarm water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the mixture until the sugar has completely dissolved and the syrup reaches the softball stage, 240º F. Remove from heat.
- Fit the mixer with the whisk attachment and turn the mixer onto the lowest setting while slowly pouring the syrup mixture into the gelatin mixture. Stop the mixer and make sure that all of the gelatin mixture is loose from the bottom of the mixing bowl. Turn the mixer on high speed and whip for 15 minutes. While the marshmallow mixture is whipping, lightly coat an 8 x 12 glass or non-metallic dish with coconut oil or shortening and dust with confectioner's sugar to make sure well-coated. Coat a rubber scraper with coconut oil or shortening and set aside.
- Once marshmallow mixture has whipped 15 minutes and is light and fluffy in volume, stir in the vanilla until it is well incorporated. Spread the marshmallow mixture into the prepared dish using the oiled rubber scraper.
- Dust lightly with more confectioner's sugar and leave uncovered overnight to dry completely.
- Pour out onto parchment paper and cut into large pieces with a knife. Dust cut edges with more confectioner's sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to three weeks.

R.I.P. Alice Drummond, the Librarian from 'Ghostbusters', Has Passed Away at 88
Sad news to report as The New York Times has announced the passing of character actress Alice Drummond, who performed regularly on Broadway in the 60's and 70's. She passed away Wednesday at the age of 88 in the Bronx.
Drummond was known to many horror fans for her role as the librarian in the opening of 1984's Ghostbusters, where she encountered the first ghost seen in the series. She was also an uncredited role in the TV series "Dark Shadows" as Nurse Jackson as well as playing Carolyn in Tales From the Darkside: The Movie in the "Cat From Hell" segment. Others might recognize her as Mrs. Finkle from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
We send our deepest condolences to her family and friends in this sad time.

It was a beautiful spring day with not a cloud in the sky and temperatures whispered of summer's soon arrival. When coats can be shed and local produce is in season, venturing often to the local downtown farmer's market followed by lunch at the local eatery is one of this family's favorite weekend outings! When I was asked to join along on the adventure and document this special pastime I could't wait!
From farm fresh vegetables to hand forged iron and baby piglets, fountain play and loads of giggles, this session is one not to be forgotten!

monKEYS to the Bills game
We'll start with defense, because it's what worries me the least.
Defensive monKEY #1 Don't let the Bills Lynch you!
I almost didn't type this one out, because it really falls under the big DUH heading, it is so obvious to anyone with a brain, but I just had to say it anyway.
I just did my fantasy football draft this week, and my first overall pick was Marshawn Lynch.
I hope he absolutely stinks it up this week, but there's a reason I took him first overall (other than the fact that the jerk who drafted one spot ahead of me took the guy I really wanted).
Marshawn is a solid strong runner, who isn't all that crafty but is elusive enough and has home run speed.
The Bills are going to want desperately, to establish their running game early on, to take pressure off of Edwards, who is still only a sophomore and doesn't have great arm strength.
Defensive monKEY #2 You just got dealt an 8 and a 3, DOUBLE DOWN!
Buffalo has exactly three scary threats offensively, Marshawn Lynch, (who we already mentioned) and a 6-5 WR named James Hardy (who I will get to in a second), and a WR who wears number 83 by the name of Lee Evans.
Evans is a 5-10 speedy guy with good hands. He's not a world class sprinter, but he definitely has home run speed.
Most importantly Evans is by far and away their biggest threat to stretch the field and score. The nice thing is, if we double cover him, they really don't have much else, the rest of their WR corps is pedestrian at best. Heck the rest of their offense is pedestrian at best.
Take away Evans by doubling down on him as much as possible, and the Bills offense is pretty easy to stop.
I do except to see quite a bit of the Bills TE's this game, especially Robert Royal, who isn't anyone special, but will likely get used more than we are used to seeing with the Bills offense.)
Oh, to get back to the tall WR. He's got good height and decent leaping ability, but he is not at all physical.
In fact, he's sort of a wuss.
The only time we really need to worry about him, is when they're in the red zone.
In case anyone has forgotten, our CB's are tiny little guys, who often get beat out in jump balls, even when they have blanket coverage.
Hence, Defensive monKEY #3 Cut down the tree!
The Bills will want to try and throw it up to their tall WR, in the end zone.
Fade routes, and play action jump balls, could spell big time trouble for us, unless our corners get position EARLY and DO NOT bite on the play fakes.
But the best way to take down this tree, is by getting physical with him, and disrupting the route right from the get go.
He's tall but he's a wimp, so you bump him hard in the five yard bump zone, and screw up his route, otherwise it will be a jump ball over the heads of our defenders for six.
Bottom line for our defense: While Lynch and Evans are very good players and pose some threat, their QB is a ball control type who lacks a big time arm (though he doesn't make a lot of mistakes with the ball) and who really doesn't scare me much at all.
The Bills do have one terrific LT, a guy who is a force, and is also grossly underpaid, and who will not be playing because of that. :P And due to an injury to their backup LT it looks like the Bills will have to get creative with their O-Line.
I see a big big big big big...(did I say BIG?), day for our DE's.
Edwards is going to be forced to take underneath stuff, because he will not have the time in the pocket to go deeper, I see him running for his life a LOT.
Offensive monKEY#1 Help out the big slow.
Locklear isn't starting, which means Willis will be.
Sorry, I realize there are a lot of you all who think that Willis is going to become a good RT. Personally I think he's a bust, and will always be a bust.
I just saw too much of him in college to trust the guy.
IMO he was a vastly over hyped Florida ST product, whose feet are annoyingly slow, and who gets beat badly by good speed rushers. (I'll never forget watching him get beat for four sacks in one game while all the stupid commentators were busy telling me how great the guy was...and I was thinking WTF are they talking about??? He's getting beat like a rented mule out there and has been all day!)
What I'm saying is, we need to give Willis help. Especially since he will be next to Rob Sims, at RG, who at times, simply clueless or just overwhelmed and will no doubt be precious little help to Willis.
Thankfully these are no longer the days of Alexander blocking, and we do now have some good blocking RB's, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to have our TE's give Willis a little extra help out there.
Offensive monKEY#2 And this one will go under the big DUH! heading again, but it still needs to be said, Don't force the pass!!!
Let's face it, Matt Hasselbeck is the best QB we've ever had here in Seattle, but when Hass doesn't see any open WR's he has a HORRIBLE tendency to try and force things, to try and make things happen.
We've all seen it, in Green Bay, in the Super bowl, in Pittsburgh last season, and many many other games.
The WR's aren't getting themselves open, or are breaking off their routes, or are running incorrect routes, and Hasselbeck decides to try to zip it in there.
We've all seen the result of that too, interceptions.
I personally think that our young WR's will have a mixed bag of good and bad plays.
Sometimes they will look fine, and at other times will just disappear.
During those times Hasselbeck MUST stay patient!
This is so vital, I cannot stress it enough.
In fact, if we do lose, I predict that this will be why, too many turnovers (picks).
Bottom line for the offense: Patience is going to have to be the word of the day.
With all new (except for Morris and Weaver) RB's and with a bunch of brand new, inexperienced WR's, our defense may have to become our best offense. Field position will play a huge part in determining whether or not we can score points. (Which reminds me how much I hate bend don't break defense!)
Our Special teams hasn't looked special at all, unless you mean like, the short bus kind of special, (which is why keeping Mare over Coutu was the RIGHT decision).
Our offense is going to have to try to sort of grind it out, hopefully we can establish some kind of a running game or we will likely be in a low scoring slug-fest. (Though I do predict one deep TD to Burleson where he makes some nifty moves to score.)
Monkey's prediction: Seahawks 19 Bills 13 in a mostly defensive slug-fest.

Considering how tired the average American is – having to deal with the burdens of life in the 21st Century – it is no surprise that people are looking to caffeine more and more to stay alert. But caffeine isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, having two or three cups of coffee a day will actually spark your brain into action, cut stress, and even help you to live longer. But the problem is when you have too much caffeine that things can go south.
If you drink, for example, six to eight cups of coffee a day, you will likely see some significant side effects, including anxiety, dehydration, and trouble sleeping. Since you are having that extra cup of coffee to help you stay up, it is counter-productive if you can't get a good night's sleep.
But even if you watch your caffeine intake, you may still be getting more than you may expect, as some foods and drinks that you thought were fine actually contain caffeine. Here are five examples of this:
So you want a cup of Joe but you don't want the caffeine. You order the decaf from your favorite coffee shop and you feel good about the fact that you controlled yourself. However, according to a study conducted by Consumer Reports in 2007, the average cup of decaf coffee has over one-fifth the caffeine of a regular cup of coffee. A regular coffee contains, on average, around 100 milligrams of caffeine, but the decaf alternative frequently contains well over 20 milligrams.
The cocoa bean naturally has caffeine in it, so logically chocolate is a source of caffeine. Luckily, your average piece of chocolate has less than 10 milligrams of caffeine, which shouldn't cause any problems. However, the darker the chocolate the more caffeine it contains. For example, Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Bar contains over 40 milligrams of caffeine.
All soft drinks – not just Coke
We are all aware that colas are one of the main sources of caffeine. We have always reached for a can of Coke for a quick energy boost. But if you are trying to curb your caffeine, it is best to stay away from all soft drinks, not just the black stuff. Root beer, lemon-lime sodas, and even orange sodas contain about 45 milligrams of caffeine.
Ice cream
Ice cream, if it is chocolate or coffee flavored, will definitely give you a jolt. Many coffee and chocolate flavored ice creams contain between 30 and 45 milligrams of caffeine per half cup. That's quite significant, considering a can of Coke has the same amount. Remember; you should only have about 100 to 120 milligrams of caffeine a day; any more than that and you're treading on dangerous ground.
Energy water
Thanks to the popularity of sports drinks such as Gatorade and Powerade, caffeinated water has become the latest trend. These drinks are designed to give you a quick lift, but they contain more caffeine than both a cup of coffee and a can of Coke. Some brands have over 50 milligrams of caffeine per serving.

Without knowing which patches were pushed, this is only a guess:
http://sihmar.com/fix windows 10 update kb4022725 kb4022715 download stuck blue screen and more/
http://news.softpedia.com/news/easy fix for windows 10 cumulative update kb4013429 issues 514030.shtml
Please note that these articles are not from Ivanti/Shavlik so please implement any instructions at your own risk.
Do you have a list of patches pushed?
Can you confirm when the scan occurred and when the deployment was scheduled for?
What version of the content did you use? Help > Refresh File will give you this information.
Exactly which OS is this happening to?
2. Re: Multiple workstations with Inaccessible Boot DeviceDQCPS Jun 15, 2017 10:58 AM (in response to cwinning)
I've seen a few of these pop up this cycle too. A few of them I've been able to recover from going back to the last known good configuration.
I'm seeing it on machines running Windows 10x64 Enterprise 1607
I THINK, and I have no proof to back this up because I'm still waiting for the dead machines to get back to me, but it looks like its when applying the MS17-06-W10, MS17-06-AFP, OR the MS17-06-SLV.
From my shavlik console I can see those are "executing" but the machines don't come back for them to do a post scan so I can't tell if they're erroring out.
If there's any logs on my server that could help, let me know and I'll pull them. Once I get one of the dead machines in my hands I hope to find more info.
3. Re: Multiple workstations with Inaccessible Boot Devicecwinning Jun 15, 2017 11:00 AM (in response to DQCPS)
The logs from the target C:\Windows\ProPatches\Logs would let us know which patches were installing.
4. Re: Multiple workstations with Inaccessible Boot DeviceDQCPS Jun 15, 2017 11:03 AM (in response to cwinning)
Ok, Once I get the machine and can get into it I'll try and grab those.
5. Re: Multiple workstations with Inaccessible Boot DeviceMirixaIT Jun 16, 2017 9:58 AM (in response to MirixaIT)
For us, to fix the Inaccessible boot device problem is the same as the previous one where you have to back out the patch. If you have this problem, follow the fix provided by Microsoft: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-server-update-services/deploy/monthly-delta-update-isv-support-without-WSUS
Remove any package in Pending state by running the command: dism.exe /image:<drive letter for windows directory> /remove-package /packagename:<package name>
It seems that perhaps the previous Shavlik xml caused this issue, which should hopefully be fixed now by updated detection logic. Check the xml releases here: https://protect7.shavlik.com/
6. Re: Multiple workstations with Inaccessible Boot Devicemcvosi Jun 17, 2017 7:02 AM (in response to MirixaIT)
Yes, I have 4 Surface Pros that have gone down. So, this was a Shavlik issue?
7. Re: Multiple workstations with Inaccessible Boot DeviceArthurV Jun 19, 2017 1:41 PM (in response to MirixaIT)
We have the same issue. 6/16 PMImport resolves the issue. Shavlik Detection Rule screwed up and installed both full and delta cumulative patches. The new detection rules installs only one.
8. Re: Multiple workstations with Inaccessible Boot Devicechrisgoettl Jun 22, 2017 10:10 AM (in response to ArthurV)
The Tues 6/13/2017 11:07 PM XML 18.104.22.16835 release, had a detection issue that may have allowed a full and delta patch to be pushed to two specific Windows 10 builds. The issue was identified and resolved on 6/14 just after noon Central Time US. The specific build that resolves the detection issue is: Wed 6/14/2017 12:56 PM XML 126.96.36.19943. You can verify your XML build under Help About and can force content updates using the Help Refresh Files option to ensure you have the latest content pushed out in your environment. If you are using distribution servers that leverage: sync core engines and definitions, or All engines, definitions, and patches, and do not automatically sync as content updates, it is recommended that you force a sync to ensure all content is up-to-date throughout your environment.
Specific builds affected:
Windows 10 1703 Build 15063.296
Windows 10 1607 Build 14393.1198
In March, when Microsoft introduced the Delta patch for the Windows 10 cumulative update, it quickly became known that there was an incompatibility introduced when the Delta and Full update were applied at the same time. We have checks in place on our backend processes to watch for this. However, a case came up which allowed this to slip by. We have reinforced that validation and also have put a Dependent Action in place that should prevent this scenario from happening again in the future. (For those of you unfamiliar with Dependent Actions, these operate at the execution level and allow us to handle dependencies at execute time.)
With that being said, this particular "inaccessible boot device" error can be caused in a number of ways. There are threads in the Microsoft community going back to 2015 relating to this error, which was well before the Delta
patch was introduced. (Here's an example) If you see this error, it does not necessarily mean it was caused by the Delta and Full cumulative update being applied at the same time. If you encounter this error, and are uncertain of the root cause, you can contact our support who will help sort it out.

Cheers. This saved my guys a couple of rebuilds. We had a couple of machines which blue screened after a round of updates.
Luckily for us, the machines were only desktops and weren't encrypted so it was relatively quick.
I was wondering though. We do have users who have Surface Pro machines which are encrypted and the HDDs are not accessible. Quick question, how would we repair these machines?
Problem is the machines are not made to be serviceable and would require a specialist to open the machines to remove the HDDs. Which would have to be put in a machine with an M2 connector, (if the storage wasn't soldered to the board) and then decrypted.
10. Re: Multiple workstations with Inaccessible Boot Devicegavinross Jun 29, 2017 1:36 PM (in response to MashK)
Unfortunately we had the same issue with a few encrypted Surface's. If you saved the bitlocker key then you are able to unlcock and do the steps necessary to get the device working again. For us some of them were not saved and we had to do a complete rebuild using the USB recovery process. From now on, we are making sure that any surface with bitlocker enabled gets the key saved on the network.

Start testingWe do not have a test environment or sandbox to run tests: we work with test users directly into the site. The advantage of working with a test user is that you can simulate the same actions allowed for a real user –list, update data, ask, answer, purchase, sell, rate, etc.- among test users without paying for any charges or getting penalties, without jeopardizing a real user's reputation. This tutorial will guide you on how to start working with our API while your app is currently on development.
Create a test userYou need to have a token to create a test user. If you haven't got your access_token yet, you may read the Authentication & Authorization guide, or you can simple come back here when you are ready to test. You only need to send on the on the JSON the country where you want to operate. Example:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "site_id":"MLA" }' https://api.mercadolibre.com/users/test_user?access_token=...Response:
{ "id":120506781, "nickname":"TEST0548", "password":"qatest328", "site_status":"active" }Great! On the response you get the User_id, Nickname, Password and current status of your new test user.
ConsiderationsWhen working with test users, you need to take into account the following considerations:
- You can create up to 10 test users with your mercadolibre account.
- Test users won't be active for too long, but once they expire, you can create new ones.
- List under the "Others" category as much as possible.
- Never list under "gold" or "gold_premium" so it doesn't get to our home page.
- Test users can only operate with test items: Test users can only buy, sell, and make questions on test items.
- Test users showing no activity (buy, ask, publish, etc.) during 60 days are immediately removed.
- Test items are removed regularly.

Peter Falk's death: Goodbye Columbo
Peter Falk, one of the greatest character actors of all time, died peacefully on June 23rd, according to Reuters. His family released a statement that the actor died in the Beverly Hills home he shared with his wife of 34 years, Shera Danese. His legacy is one of rich characters viewers cared about, and his ability to bring them to life in a way that was never seen before and probably will never be seen again.
For many television viewers of the '70s, there was only one actor that we could truly believe made the character he portrayed, Peter Falk. He took a role that would otherwise be considered a harsh character and turned him into a loveable schlub of a man, someone you would trust with your life. That was Columbo, the scruffy and confused detective that millions of viewers watched to see how he would crack his next case for over 69 episodes.
Native New Yorker Falk found his wings on the Broadway stage, but it was in television that he really made his mark. As the sassy Columbo, Falk relied heavily on his character's vulnerability to get his point across on-screen. One of the character's catch phrases was, "Just one more thing..." as he cracked his case each week. Several of his most memorable lines included, "My wife says I'm the second smartest. She claims there are 80 guys tied for first," and, "I respect your talent, I just don't like anything else about you."
Trivia fact: The debut episode of Columbo was directed by a 25-year-old Steven Spielberg in one of his earliest directing roles.
Falk also made his mark on the big screen in films like 1963's It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and 1964's Rat Pack adventure, Robin and the 7 Hoods.
Perhaps Peter's best known characters came from the heart, such as the husband who has to decide whether or not to institutionalize his depressed and mentally ill wife in A Woman Under the Influence. He also appeared in the hilarious comedy The In-Laws with Alan Arkin, as the bumbling Vince Ricardo, who, when asked by Arkin's character, "Did we hit the little boy on sixth avenue?" replied with, "No, we missed him by a good foot and a half." He also played a character dealing with a late-in-life divorce, co-starring with Paul Reiser in The Thing About My Folks.
In his later years, Peter Falk appeared on television only a handful of times, in the films The Lost World, A Town Without Christmas, Finding John Christmas and When Angels Come to Town. A diagnosis of Alzheimer's in 2008 hastened any further television appearances. An acting treasure, he will be sorely missed.
