"It is imperative to share clinical perspectives and personal testimony along with the beautiful before and after or even step-by-step photography to properly inform and educate dental professionals. Many dental professionals –although exceptional clinicians, technicians, or assistants—find it either too daunting or too time-consuming to properly "tell their story" without some editorial assistance. I've worked with Allison DiMatteo for nearly 20 years, and her group, Crème della Crème Copywriting & Communication, provide exceptional assistance in all areas to develop and nurture articles, editorial, and content."
"Allison DiMatteo and the team at Crème della Crème Copywriting & Communication have consistently provided timely, relevant, and expert editorial support and guidance that has been invaluable when developing articles for peer-review in our profession's leading dental journals and publications. Even at the 13th hour, they've assisted with meeting publication criteria, and always in such a pleasant, professional, and detail-oriented manner."
"As Managing Editor of the Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry, I have had the opportunity to work with Allison DiMatteo at Crème della Crème Copywriting & Communication on numerous projects for several years, which include manuscript writing, copyediting, and content planning. Allison is very professional, flexible, and dedicated to incorporating the details of all our projects no matter how big or small. She produces well-written and researched pieces and edits our material to be more useful and skillfully written. Allison and her team are committed to the best possible outcome consistent with our mission and are willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done to our expectations. I appreciate the work Allison and Crème della Crème stand for and exhibit and would recommend them to anyone."
"Allison and Crème della Crème are the best! Trying to find time to write articles is nearly impossible. They know exactly what our trade journal wanted and needed when it came time to publish articles/cases. We answered a few questions and gave some ideas, and they wrote it in a manner that we couldn't have accomplished. Extremely professional, and the writing style is second to none. Thanks so much!"
"I was pleased and satisfied with the service I received. The initial meeting and continuing meetings with staff were fruitful, and the final results were handsome. I expected to receive good service and did. Turn-around from concept to finished product was on my time line and was convenient. I enjoyed Katy and her enthusiasm. She was very easy to work with and accommodated my questions and changes to the materials with ease and grace."
"Working with the staff at Crème della Crème was an extremely rewarding experience---from sitting down to discuss our thoughts, to seeing conceptual design, to the finished product—they were there every step of the way. The finished product was well-executed, delivered on time, and the quality better than we expected. With their skill and expertise, what was just an idea quickly became reality."
"The team at Crème della Crème went above and beyond our expectations for creativeness, turnaround time, and quality. They had a sign made for us and rejected it without our knowing because it didn't meet their high standards for quality. The team at Crème della Crème is a delight to work with. They are professional, open minded, creative, and have a sense of urgency towards deadlines. I would recommend their services to anyone."
Let us give you inspiring attention that matters!

I moved my computer from the basement to our sunroom, making room for my wife's quilting and craft projects. Now my computer monitor is facing an open area, such that I can't, uh, compute discreetly. Researching entries to post on Steel White Table (Yeah, researching. Give me a break.) sometimes leads me to sites that could be considered porn, so I can't research comfortably now knowing that someone can see what I'm doing.
So on that theme, here are some tips on how to browse the internet discreetly:
- In Windows, learn how to press Alt-Esc or Alt-Tab quickly (assuming there's another program running at the same time).
- Use Boss! or a similar program that can hide open programs with a keystroke.
- Claim you're doing research for Steel White Table.
- Or to hell with discretion and admit to yourself (and others) that you're only doing what's natural, and there's no reason to be ashamed. Right.

In films from 1941, the hauntingly beautiful American actress Elizabeth Russell seemed predestined for psychological horror films. After an unforgettable one-scene appearance as one of the title characters in producer Val Lewton's Cat People, Russell became a fixture of the Lewton unit at RKO until 1946. Her best performance during this period was as the spiteful daughter of genially crazy old recluse Julia Dean in Curse of the Cat People (1944). Outside of her work for Lewton, Elizabeth Russell was seen as Bela Lugosi's wife in The Corpse Vanishes (1942) who, despite being dead for 25 years, gives Lugosi quite a tongue-lashing whenever she sees him and is the model for the portrait of the ghostly Mary Meredith in the Paramount chiller The Uninvited (1944).

If you don't have the bigger budget, you have to be a little smarter and a little more creative. In a South by Southwest panel entitled "Who Owns Your Fans? Not You!," an executive from computer chip-maker AMD told how he mobilized the company's fans and used online video to spread brand and product awareness in an merging market.
While AMD is a big name in chips, its sales fall far behind that of market-leader Intel. In marketing and advertising, Intel outspends AMD 60 to 1. That's why, social media manger John Peters explained, he has to be clever to get more bang from his marketing dollar. In his address, Peters explained how he harnessed fans to further the company's objectives in a campaign in India.
Peters started his campaign to build awareness and increase laptop sales on Facebook, targeting ads to 18- to 35-year-old Indian gamers in. His company saw this as an emerging market ripe with potential due partly to the massively popularity of gaming and LAN parties in that country.
Next, he identified early adopters through Facebook, gamers who felt strongly about AMD and wanted to spread its message. AMD created a point system to incentivize these adopters in non-monetary way. Fans were able to show their influence while accruing points, and could redeem points for goods.
While Facebook is a great way to find fans, it's not a great platform for working with them. That's why AMD transitioned its fans and its point competition to a separate page that it created and ran. By hosting its own promotional page, AMD was able to share more media assets, including product videos, while still maintaining the contest point system. Fans were then able to upload their own original content. For example, one early adopter edited an online video game trailer and added AMD messaging and branding. Others could earn points by sharing that video.
"Video content, we know, is extremely engaging these days," said Peters.
Working with Samsung, AMD gave away laptops and game codes to several participants. Peters made the decision not to delete negative comments from contest pages, since he wanted fans to know they were taking part in an open dialog. That decision wasn't popular with management, Peters acknowledged, but he stuck by it.
At the end of the campaign, Peters was highly satisfied with the results. Fan acquisition on Facebook cost $.81 per person. AMD saw revenue growth of $520,000 from the campaign, and enjoyed $600,000 of earned media. Fans generated over 1,000 pieces of original content, often working with AMD brand assets.
When launching campaigns, Peters said marketers should define their program objectives, making sure those objectives align with company goals, and narrow the scope, if needed. After all, you're not likely to further all of your company's goals in one program. Start small and progress from there, he said. Remember that content is king, so supply fans with great assets, including original videos, to work with. Finally "measure, measure, measure," so you know exactly where your campaign is working and by how much.

Our Take
North Face's application is a pure driver to online merchandise. The app provides functionality and the ability to view reviews and inventory – but there is little to no connection to a user's presence in a physical store. North Face's audience relies on the knowledge and expertise of their peers and store associates to understand which products would be best for their needs or adventures. Store associates try to personalize the shopping experience in-person for shoppers, and we see this as a huge opportunity for the North Face application. Adding features to call a store associate over to answer questions, or more access to product reviews, videos, and content would be beneficial for North Face in the future.

This area of the north west Fylde Coast is quite flat, so apart from the odd gentle incline, you won't face any proper hills!
If you are here on holiday and haven't brought a bike with you, you can now hire one from points throughout Blackpool. The nearest stations are on the promenade at the southern end of Cleveleys at Anchorsholme.
You can find out how to hire one of the Blackpool bikes at this link.
'Sunday Riders' who want a short route, can pop onto the promenade and cycle as far as they like in either direction. It's a designated cycle trackfrom Fleetwood to Blackpool, so you can legally cycle in safety on the promenade. (Be courteous to users of the promenade, and warn people that you are passing).
If you're a bit more adventurous and want a longer ride, the coast at Cleveleys is a continuation of Sustrans Cycle Route 62 – Preston to Lytham St Annes to Blackpool.
Details here about Cycle Route 62 from the Sustrans website.
If you prefer solitude you might prefer a northerly direction heading towards Fleetwood. Head through the Five Bar Gate on Rossall Promenade onto the Lancashire Coastal Way, and you'll ride the coast from Cleveleys to Fleetwood.
The first couple of miles are concrete sea defences built after the floods in 1977. Then the concrete drops away at the side of Fleetwood Golf Course and opens out into sand dunes and a coastal path. You'll pass Rossall Point where there is an old lifeguard look out station which is being re-built as part of the Sea Change project, and carry on round the peninsula to the beach huts and sea front at Fleetwood where you can re-fuel at a number of cafes.
You can come back the way you came, or head across a short stretch of water to Knott End and beyond, on the ferry which runs year round from the Esplanade at Fleetwood. Click here for ferry times.
The whole of the Fylde Coast enjoys beautiful scenery, and the Wyre section at Cleveleys is no exception. Fabulous!

Dallas Cowboys
Summary judgment: Cowboys can't run, get exposed in blowout loss at Mile High
No need for a preliminary injunction or emergency stay.
No need to appeal to a higher court for a ruling.
The verdict is in on what happens with the Dallas Cowboys when they don't run the ball and can't control the clock.
The summary judgment ruled decisively in favor of the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field on Sunday in a game that wasn't as close as the final 42-17 score.
The Cowboys trailed 21-10 halftime and 35-10 in the third quarter before showing some signs of life.
Broncos cornerback Aqib Tabib returned an interception off Dak Prescott 103 yards for a touchdown with 53 seconds left in the game, setting off a party in the stands among the few Broncos faithful who stayed to the end.
Do you blame a lack of carries for running back Ezekiel Elliott?
Can the NFL Players Association file a motion to count this game as part of his six-game suspension? At the end of the third quarter, he had nine carries for 8 yards and that's how his day would finish.
Asked when the last time he was held to fewer than 10 yards in a game, the defending NFL rushing champion had a one word answer: "Never."
The Cowboys will find out this week if this was Elliott's final game for a while. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will rule on the NFL's motion for an emergency stay of the preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge blocking the six-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
Without Elliott being able to run the ball, Prescott was unable to do anything in the air. He completed 30 of 50 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions.
The Cowboys were 2 of 10 on third downs through three quarters in what was the first time since Prescott became the starter last year that the offense failed to stick to a blueprint of controlling the ball and the game.
Ironically, in a game in which Prescott set NFL records for the fewest interceptions (four) through the first 500 passes of a career and the fewest interceptions while throwing the first 25 touchdown passes to start a career, he had his worst game.
Coach Jason Garrett placed the Cowboys' inability to sustain drives on Prescott's inability to make plays in the passing game against a defense focused on stopping Elliott.
"When they play that style of defense you have to be able to consistently attack in the passing game," Garrett said. "At different times we did, other times we weren't. We didn't make the plays for whatever reasons."
Prescott credited the Broncos' defense, but he shouldered the blame for his lack of effectiveness, calling it a terrible feeling.
"If I make more plays, we give ourselves a chance in the game," Prescott said. "I didn't make plays. There is no excuse for it. I don't know if they took that much away as much as me not making some throws. They were on us. They made me throw in tight windows and tight areas and I simply didn't make them all. Playing like that, you won't win the game, no matter who you play."
Did the Broncos expose something other teams can exploit or is their defense one of the few that can pull it off?
Loading up on the run and playing man-to-man on the outside is not a concept the Cowboys haven't faced before. But it's one they couldn't solve Sunday.
"That was our plan, make them throw the football," Broncos coach Vance Joseph said. "He could have run it 15 more times for 10 more yards but that wouldn't have helped them win. Defensive coordinator Joe Woods had a great play to make them throw the football. Nobody has played them that way."
Blame can also go to a rash of injuries in the secondary, leaving the Cowboys with two healthy cornerbacks for the final three quarters.
The result was Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian looking like a second coming of Peyton Manning, playing easy pitch-and-catch to complete 22 of 32 passes for 231 yards and a career-high-tying four touchdown passes.
The Broncos converted 9 of 15 third downs, including 9 of 12 through the first three quarters.
But this lopsided outcome was also a case of the Cowboys getting dominated on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
The best offensive line in football that features Pro Bowlers in tackle Tyron Smith, center Travis Frederick and guard Zack Martin got little movement up front and provided little protection on passing downs.
The inability to convert third downs resulted in extreme exposure for a defense that is at its best when its snaps are limited. There was also the lack of depth at cornerback.
Even before rookie cornerback Chidobe Awuzie was lost in the first quarter with a hamstring and Nolan Carroll was lost in the second to a concussion, the Cowboys were plagued by a lack of a pass rush, missed tackles and poor run fits.
Linebacker Sean Lee had arguably the least impactful game of his career and linebacker Jaylon Smith was a nonfactor.
The Broncos ran at will, rushing 39 times for 178 yards, including 25 for 118 by running back C.J. Anderson.
DeMarcus Lawrence had two sacks for the second consecutive game, including one that led to a touchdown, a 3-yard pass from Prescott to Dez Bryant.
But he was not a regular force and had little help. Lawrence also cost the Cowboys points. After his sack to force a field goal, he was penalized for leverage on the kick, leaping but landing on a Broncos player.
The Broncos took the three points off the board and turned it into a touchdown to make it 14-7 in the second quarter. It was a boat race from there.
"We knew it was a tough challenge," Lee. "We didn't respond. We got outplayed across the board."
The Cowboys dropped to 1-1 on the season, the same record they had a year ago when they reeled off 11 consecutive wins to finish 13-3. Perhaps, however, the Broncos provided a blueprint.
The Arizona Cardinals (1-1), also have a strong secondary, led by cornerback Patrick Peterson, are up next on a Monday night game, Sept. 25.
"I do not think this is a picture of what our team is, at all," owner Jerry Jones said. "I won't accept that. But I do want to say that I will look at the picture of what Denver is and give them a lot of credit. That was well-done."

2 node cluster with SLES12 SP1. No resources added at this point, fresh cluster that is online. We have an existing apache 2.4.x webserver on a cluster node. It has a number of websites, php, SSL and reverse proxy. The other node of the cluster has apache installed along with the php modules. Hawk is up and running so we can use that if needed to add the existing apache resource. My question is, how exactly do i add the existing apache resource to the cluster?

Although I work mainly digitally these days (for convenience and speed) I still enjoy sketching out my ideas in good old pen/pencil and paper. Even though I don't create final works of art using these tools, I am really picky about the quality and usabilityof the supplies that I buy and use.
For sketchbooks and paper, I really like these sketchbooks I found in the bargain section of Barnes & Nobles. The brand is Piccadilly and I'm not sure if they are exclusively sold in B&N stores, but so far it's the only location I've able to find them locally. I searched Amazon.com and they do sell the brand but at much more inflated prices than I can find in store. The ones I've purchased are small, about 5.75"x8.75". I think I spent around $5 for each and they have 200 pages (100 sheets back and front) and they are acid-free. The larger ones run a little more at around $6.50 but they are about twice the size at ~8.5"x11.5" with the same number of pages.
I really like the paper in these. They are fairly thick with a little tooth (texture). The paper takes ink very well. I can use a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen and get a lot of ink coverage with a little bleedthrough but not enough to mark the page behind it. Another thing I like about this paper is that it doesn't really bleed. Even with the thick, wet ink in the brushpen, I can confidently make strokes without worrying about bleeding edges. I was really impressed. I do have a variety of pens I've tried to test bleeding/bleedthrough with and only the Pentel brushpen really "bled through" the paper. For bleeding, none of the pens really bled much. This is one of my major pet peeves with different types of paper, I hate it when my inks bleed because I like nicely defined outlines and I feel bleeding ruins my whole illustration. I usually do an extra pass when outlining the outer edges of my illustrations so it's really frustrating when I have bleeding screw up my drawing when it's practically done.
Here are a few of the pens I use to show how they mark the sketchbook pages:
I would highly recommend these sketchbooks because even though they are cheap, they work for me really well. I will buy the larger version and update if I feel that there is a difference in the quality of paper. Oh, and another thing to note is that they do come in different cover styles with the same paper in both. I bought the standard black and the one with the Hokusai wave design.
I also make my own mini sketchbooks that I use in my hand made notebook holder (midori style notebook).
I made my own little sketchbooks for this notebook. I used a nicer printer paper, specifically this one. This paper is a little thicker than standard printer paper. Not as nice as my sketchbook's paper, but it serves it's purpose well. It does tend to bleed with certain pens (I found I can't use the Stabilo Fineliners to out line on this paper) but it holds up to my Crayola markers fine. There is bleed through using this paper so I pretty much draw only on one side of a sheet and I use a scrap as blotter in the back to prevent bleeding through on the sheet behind. I choose to make my own notebooks (as opposed to buying premade ones like Field notes or Moleskines that can fit my notebook) because It's much cheaper and I find I don't mind messing up or wasting sheets with doodling.
Here are links to some of the tools used:

It's Friday and booze is on my mind (so what else is new?). The booze of the week is Trader Joe's Rear Admiral London Dry Gin ($7.99 for a 750 mL bottle at Trader Joe's). It's distilled and bottled at W.J. Stillman Ltd. in London.
If you like gin martinis and/or gin and tonics and want to save half the cost of booze, try this gin. Here are a couple reviews:

I was talking to youth workers this week at the YS' National Youth Workers Convention and they were lamenting to me about the year-round schedule of their small group program. It seemed to never end for them – burning out leaders and students alike. And while in my church we run small groups during the school year only and take the summer off – it inspired this week's poll question.

New book reveals the myriad of attractions
of the other Orlando
ORLANDO, FL (April 2012) – It's hard to think of Orlando without thinking of Walt Disney World and Mickey Mouse. But just outside the gates of Disney World lies the dizzy world of what travel writer Kelly Monaghan calls "the Other Orlando."
In the new book, After Disney: The Other Orlando, Monaghan and co-author Seth Kubersky set out to chronicle the scores of attractions and activities, some well known, others undiscovered, that exist in the shadow of the mighty Mouse.
"Orlando is most definitely not a one-mouse town," Monaghan says. "For starters there's Universal Orlando Resort, with two world class theme parks that are every bit as good as Disney's. Then there is SeaWorld and its creature-themed sister parks, Discovery Cove and Aquatica. Beyond that, there are other major attractions like Gatorland and the Holy Land Experience. A short drive away, you'll find Kennedy Space Center, Legoland, and Busch Gardens in Tampa. Shall I go on?"
He could. After Disney offers extensive coverage, not just of the major parks, but of scores of lesser attractions ranging from offbeat roadside attractions, to magnificent gardens, to world-class art museums, to gaudy dinner shows, to serious theater, to the all-American spectacle of baseball's Spring training venues.
For the more active visitor, the book offers information on bird-watching, fishing, hiking, waterskiing, canoeing, and even skydiving. You can even climb into a jet aircraft and take the controls once aloft.
"I believe this is the most comprehensive guide to non-Disney attractions in central Florida that has ever been compiled," boasts Monaghan. "If Seth and I have missed anything, I'd like to hear about it."
After Disney covers a number of experiences that Disney simply cannot match. One of those is the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal's Islands of Adventure. "The Chosen One is the biggest thing to happen in Orlando since Mickey arrived," says Monaghan, using one of Harry Potter's nicknames. "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey has set a new benchmark in theme park thrill rides. And now Universal is expanding the Potter franchise into Universal Studios Florida.After Disney has the first reports in any guidebook about what to expect."
Another Orlando highlight is the opportunity to swim with dolphins at Discovery Cove. "This has to be the most magical experience in Orlando and I mean no disrespect to Mickey when I say that," Monaghan notes.
The new book is also the first guidebook to be published with actual eyewitness reporting on central Florida's newest attraction, Legoland. "Kids can see their LEGOs in real life, while their grandparents can reminisce about the days when Legoland was Cypress Gardens," Monaghan says.
There is enough to do in the Orlando area to keep a visitor busy for weeks if not months. Monaghan has done it all and he has his own favorite attraction. It's not Forbidden Journey, much has he enjoys that. "I love swimming in Wekiva Springs State Park in the northern suburbs of Orlando," he says. "There's a crystal clear spring there, which is a constant 72 degrees year 'round, set in a grassy amphitheater and ringed with live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Let's just say that if you go there, you'll have a magical day."

In time I will be able to share my life story. It has not always been an easy life, divorced parents, raised in a low income neighborhood, high school drop out, 2 failed marriages 1 because of abuse the other because I was just too damn young to get married. The list goes on and has quite a few interesting stories.
The one that stuck the most though and it affected me without me being aware is the abusive marriage. So I wanted to start off the personal nature of my blog by sharing with you a post I wrote on my old website "Nolie's Place" which has now been taken down and archived. It was the most raw and honest post I ever wrote and it was the first time I came out of hiding from one of my darkest most embarrassing secrets.
I Walked Out On Drew Dudley
Who is Drew Dudley? Drew Dudley is a dynamic leadership speaker, author, and is billed as one of the most inspirational TED speakers of all time. https://www.drewdudley.com/about-drew
In 2013 I attended a conference where Drew Dudley was the keynote speaker. It was an amazing and life changing talk. He is an incredible speaker that if you ever get the chance to see him speak please do so. He made me come to the realization that I needed to come to in order to move on in my life. I was being held back and I didn't even know it. In his talk a light bulb went off and brought me to tears.
Ever since the beginning of Nolie's Place there are some things either I have not been able to share or just never found the right time to share. Those who met me in person learned bits and pieces of my past but the whole truth has never come out. This is the post where I will share what happened and why Drew Dudley's talk made me break down and I had to walk out in order to go cry in the bathroom.
I was previously in an abusive relationship. Rarely physical, mostly mental. This man had me broken more than I ever thought I could be broken. He had me convinced that my own mother and father didn't love me. He had me convinced I was worthless and would never be anything nor could I survive without him. He also gave me what I call his "gift" to women…. herpes. Due to this "gift" I was convinced no man would ever want to be with me. I was now tainted and carried a life long disease that I would never be able to get rid of.
Thankfully Brad knew I was worth more than I thought I was. He loved me and when I came to him asking for help he helped me leave this man and we have been together ever since.
In 2010 this man was arrested and charged with 6 counts of aggravated sexual assault and six counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm. I was not his only victim. Each one of those charges represents a different woman who came forward with this "gift" they had received. Undisclosed to us until it was too late. This is NOT a debate about herpes I refuse to have this debate. I suffered enough reading comment after comment across the internet about the entire case.
He was released on bail only to be arrested again 3 months later. This time for possession of child pornography.
From 2010 to 2013 my life were spent dealing with the justice system. I never did get justice. He plead guilty but basically got a slap on the wrist and walked. If he is a good boy for 3 years or something like that then he will get a discharge. It will be as if none of this ever happened. He stood in court and apologized to the victims (according to the newspapers), I never received an apology. I was ripped apart by his abuse for 2 years only to in my opinion, then get abused by the justice system and just left at the curb so to speak.
I sat in that ballroom listening to Drew Dudley speak about being a better landlord. You are the landlord of your mind and your heart. Do not let people live rent free. If they are negative and do you no good then don't allow them into your heads or your hearts. Of course this is the condensed version. If you would like to hear the longer version I have shared it here for you.
It was in that moment that I realized many years after leaving this man I am still letting him affect me. The court cases ended in February of 2013. That was 7 months before the conference since I was officially done with him having any external affect on my life. However he still has a huge affect on my mind. We still talk about him, we still hear about him. I am still VERY angry about what he has done to me and how he has affected my life for the last 9 years. I have never been able to let go, heal and move forward.
I need to heal. I need to stop letting this man have any impact on my life. I need to stop letting him be a horrible tenant in my mind. I need to be a better landlord and evict him.
It was with this realization that I suddenly burst into tears while sitting front row at Blissdom Canada listening to Drew Dudley speak. I walked through that ballroom with my head down staring at the floor and bee-lined it for the nearest bathroom where I cried… hard.
I came home and shared this realization with my husband. I vowed to become a better landlord. Together someway somehow Brad and I will find a way to heal and evict this man from our lives.
This was from 2013. It is now 2019 and I have come a long way and it is all thanks to Drew Dudley. I will never let someone live rent free in my head again. This has become one of my main goals in life. It has not always been easy to get where I am today. But it has been the best road I have traveled and has made me the strong empowered woman I am today.

Moving Soil
We receive weekly calls for correcting unwanted water in basements due to negative slope, or improper water run-off. Maybe there is nuisance standing water in a drive or parking area.
For a lot of properties, after initial new construction, water is going where it's supposed to be going-away from your living space. In time, freshly placed top soil settles, the ground moves, and tree roots and landscaping can cause minor fluctuations in the water run-off. Then, we water our landscaping around the foundation of our home, and it has no place to go other than inside!
Moving Water
Our staff is able to accurately determine your drainage needs, and if necessary, have our engineers draw drainage plans. We frequently are requested to install concrete drainage pans in parking lots and parking areas. Standing water on an asphalt paved area will only accelerate the deterioration of the asphalt.
What may seem like a complex ground water issue permeating the basement foundation walls can sometimes simply be eliminated with the use of two of our technicians and a little reshaping of the earth around the property.
Call us today to help you get the water moving where it needs to go; away from your property!!

Einstein Enigma is an interesting little puzzle game available on iOS. The idea is to solve a set of rubics cube style tile rotation puzzles by rotating circles, so that each circle is complete. It isn't exactly what I would call 'fiendish', but I would say it's something to do while on a train or bus, to keep your brain in gear without too much of a strain.
Each level has different difficulty option to choose from, completing each will give you a different number of stars, and each level requires you to have earned a certain number of stars to play, so by choosing harder difficulties you could skip some of the easier levels. As you progress through the game each chunk of new levels has a new theme and different mechanics to play with, such as using cogs. This keeps the game fresh and interesting.
As for controls, you are only supposed to rotate using the outer edges of the circles and the game tells you off if you try to use the inners, which can be quite frustrating. You get used to it over time but it is still a minor annoyance. There is no music as far as I can tell, however the sound assets are fine. nothing to write home about but they make the tapping of your screen and rotating of circles feel fairly nice.
The game looks are quite pleasing, everything is always clear and I never mistook anything for anything else, and the controls are usually pretty responsive and pleasant. One thing that does bring it down is that, despite the lack of any music, the game turns off your music when you are playing the game, and turns it off whenever you bring the game into focus, as if to say, "Oi, we demand your FULL attention! Show us some bloody respect and stop listening to music while solving puzzles!". Again, this is rather annoying as many people like to play games with their own music, and many games do allow this.
The game has some replayability, but like almost all puzzle games of this type, it's is only really replayable after you have left the game along for a few weeks and forgotten all the solutions to the puzzles. Still, decent if you want something to play sporadically to keep you occupied.
All in all, the game is a decent time waster, good for public transport of something to occupy your mind when bored, but nothing really to write home about. You can get it on the App Store for £1.49 right HERE.

Nepean Terrace: 128-132 Gipps Street, East Melbourne
Nepean Terrace is a significant early terrace in East Melbourne near the Fitzroy Gardens. Architecturally, it is from an era before iron lacework became popular. Instead the regency style inspired design features a single storey verandah of concave roof with an arcade of arches supported by paired wooden posts. The brackets feature elaborate carvings of floral patterns, as do the party walls and ledges with their finely moulded corbels.
Hazelwood Terrace: 46-48 Howe Crescent, South Melbourne. Melbourne, Victoria
Hazelwood Terrace is a row of three italianate styled, elaborately and ornate stucco terraces. Howe Crescent forms part of the St Vincent Gardens street plan. These terraces were designed prior to the iron lacework trend originally designed by Clement
Hodgkinson for George Black, but with modifications by esteemed architect Charles Webb who designed Melbourne's famous "Grand" Victorian hotel (now the Windsor).1 With a solid looking brick rendered facade modelled on stone work, this terrace is unique for the treatment of its prominent ground level balcony and arcade of classically inspired doorways.

Stirling Terrace: 114-118 Dryburgh Street. North Melbourne, Victoria
Stirling Terrace is a row of three double storey classical filigree terraces dating to around 1887.1 Its most striking feature is the central pediment with its relief, dentils and acroteria.
- The Age. pg. 3. For Rent section. 28 June 1887 ↩
57-71 Napier Street, Essendon. Melbourne, Victoria
This impressive row of eight double storey boom style polychrome terraces, captured by Alastair Lamont, is situated close to the "Windy Hill" Essendon football ground (home of AFL's Essendon Bombers). Suprisingly for such a rare substantial suburban row, these homes are not even afforded local heritage protection under the Mooney Valley Council Planning Scheme.1 Though they appear to be generally well looked after and highly sought after.
- Mooney Valley Council Planning Scheme ↩
Wilson's Terrace: 129-135 High Street, Prahran. Melbourne, Victoria
This row of four double storey Victorian filligree terraces has been adaptively used as professional suites. Given the lack of current heritage protection offered (as of 2014 it is not covered by a heritage overlay under the Stonnington planning Scheme1. Given the position of the signage on the segmental arch of the parapet which bears the name "Wilson's Terrace", one would think this terrace was originally a row of five with two houses on either side of the mid-terrace. However, its first mention in The Argus in 1881 advertises it as a row of four houses, each with seven rooms.2 Tenders were called for its construction in 1884 by architects W H Elleker.3 The houses were originally numbered 15-27 High Street.4

In many spiritual traditions across the East and the West, courage is one of the traits that distinguishes humans as intelligent and evolved beings. It has been expounded by philosophers as a type of 'endurance of the soul'. The textbook definition of courage is "the ability to do something that frightens one" or "strength in the face of pain or grief". Just as with resilience, every human being who is alive today can probably attribute part of their existence to the courage of their ancestors.
Courage can be physical, which is bravery in the face of physical pain, hardship or threat of death. Courage can also be moral, which is the ability to act rightly, even in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, discouragement or personal loss. Both aspects of courage can be cultivated with a steady yoga or spiritual practice. Many of the qualities of courage stem from a certain aspect of trust. Physical Courage is trusting your body to survive pain and discomfort. Ultimately, one must trust their intuition of what is deeply right and worth fighting for in practicing Moral Courage.
We are all born with courage. The amount of bravery it takes to push through birth and take a first breath is something we cannot remember or measure. It us up to each individual to face any physical or moral adversity with bravery, strength and trust. Courage is a choice that can be made with any challenge. It can be cultivated in us.
Simhasana (Lion's Pose)
You may have heard of Lion's breath without knowing its origin in a pose called Simhasana, meaning "Lion's Pose". Lion's Pose is a seated pose, often practiced in vajrasana, or a kneeling posture. If kneeling is not available, you can find any seated position that allows your spine to be long. Simhasana is a unique pose in that it mainly benefits unseen internal organs, including the larynx, the carotid sinus, the sinus nerves, thyroid, and parathyroid glands. It also helps to strengthen the chest and abdomen.
Lion's Pose can help alleviate symptoms of voice-related issues, such as stammer and hoarseness. It also may help improve the quality of one's singing voice. Finally, one of the most popular benefits is that Lion's Pose helps stimulate the platysma, which is the muscle in the neck that tends to sag as we get older, leading to a more aged look. For some, especially those who are new to practicing yoga in public, Lion's Pose takes a lot of courage because the proper way to practice it is by crossing the eyes (to gaze at the third eye), sticking out the tongue, and making a strong "ha" sound. Please try to remember that we are all in this practice together, and that the benefits of this strong pose are plenty.

Theatre skills for life
The Cayman Drama Society is proud to present its new training department. Since September 2016 we offer acting classes for children and adults of all levels, as well as bespoke workshops for corporate training or individual sessions for those with upcoming presentations, auditions or public speaking events. Here on these pages is all the information that you need to join us!
A note from our Education and Operations Officer:
Hi! My name is Kirsty O'Sullivan and I am the Acting Tutor at Cayman Drama Society. Some of you may remember me from the Shakespeare workshops in January 2016, but for those of you who don't know me I am an actress and acting tutor from Scotland! I have run the Edinburgh Acting School for the last six years teaching acting to children and adults of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds and freelanced for other well- known organisations in the UK and abroad. I passionately believe that acting provides some of the most transferable skills any hobby can give you to take into your everyday life including public speaking, social skills, assertiveness and general confidence. It is also an excellent way to escape from life and learn how to play again!
My aim, along with the wonderful Cayman Drama Society, is to bring drama and acting education to Grand Cayman so that we can educate and inspire. You do NOT have to want the fame of Hollywood to try out acting and enjoy it. Acting is for all and I hope as many people from different walks of life start to come through the doors at the Prospect Playhouse to try it out and gain the benefits of walking in someone else's shoes.
You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com to ask for more information, reserve a place or just go on the waiting list for a future term. I am here to help. CDS Training Booking Form 2018-19.pdf

Reunion with birth parents may have led to slaying
Thirty years after her adoption, Teri Jo Silbert began searching for her birth parents when she was pregnant with her first daughter in 2001.
Her quest soon led to reuniting with her birth parents. But her success in finding and then meeting her parents ultimately became tainted with sadness and suspicion.
After being the catalyst for a renewed romance between her birth parents — Kathleen Logar, 53, and William Polhemus, 59 — Silbert says she fears it was her father who strangled her mother to death in the early morning hours of April 14, 2004, in her home at 4160 Perry St.
She hopes she is wrong. The murder has never been solved.
"Part of me is like, God, if I hadn't met her, she probably wouldn't have been murdered," Silbert, 36, said in a phone interview from her home in Cave Creek, Ariz. "Every day, I think about that. If Bill truly did it, I wish they could nail him."
The Denver cold-case detective in charge of the murder investigation was not available for comment.

Mark C. Austin just keeps on living the dream. Last month he opened "Three Songs, No Flash," his first-ever exhibition of his bountiful collection of concert photography - many shot for these very "pages" - now on permanent display in Warehouse Live's Green Room. Last week he became the proud owner of a 2001 GMC Sahara mini school bus, which he won last week on an eBay auction for $1,700.
Austin, who is now in New York to catch some of My Morning Jacket's five-night stand at Manhattan's Terminal 5, purchased the bus when rowdy Rhode Island rockers Deer Tick decided to upgrade and donate the proceeds from the auction to OxFam. Deer Tick, by the way, was at House of Blues' Bronze Peacock Room last week. (Christ, was that last week?)
Once he gets the bus back to Houston, Austin wants to loan it out as a tour vehicle for local bands to grow their regional fan bases; The Tontons, Tyagaraja and Peekaboo Theory are already on board. His plan has already been written up by Paste magazine, leading a friend of Rocks Off to call Austin "well on his way to being a Houston music legend" in an email earlier today.
Not bad for a mild-mannered accountant. OK, Mark's not all that mild-mannered, but this is pretty cool. Rocks Off shot local bands' new best friend a few questions via email this afternoon.
Rocks Off: Was this a spur of the moment thing or something you had been planning on for a while?
Mark C. Austin: Well, its been something I've been thinking about for a while. I've heard more than a few local bands talk about booking tours to get out of Houston and play a bit, but the costs of such an endeavor always seem to come up.
How can we afford to take off of our day jobs and drive around the U.S. for a couple of weeks? The cost of transportation is a big one. Renting a van/bus to do something like that can be quite expensive. I've considered buying a van or something for a while.
RO: Why Deer Tick? Do you know them, or was this just what was available?
MCA: I actually got to know Deer Tick and their management this year at Lollapalooza. Super cool group of guys and I love their last 2 albums. I had no idea this bus even existed. I started following them on twitter this year (@deertickmusic) and they posted about this on their Twitter feed a couple of weeks ago.

They toured their last album in this bus and I'm assuming that they've just gotten better wheels this year with the new album. They decided to auction off this bus to raise money to contribute to OxFam's Pakistan relief efforts. I thought it was a great idea and something that could easily be put into service in Houston. Just the perfect storm of events. I watched the auction, bid on it and won. Pretty simple.
RO: What kind of condition is the bus in? How about the gas mileage?
MCA: It's a 2001 GMC Sahara (mini school bus). Just over 100K miles on it and they've done some interior renovations to accommodate a touring band (storage, comfort, etc). This is practically new for a school bus and everything is in working condition. Clearly, I'm going to have it tuned up and ready to roll before it goes into service. Hoping to have the interior fixed up for comfort and function as well. Anyone who provides such services, please reach out to me.
RO: You've said you're going to loan out the bus for local bands to take on tour. How is that going to work?
MCA: I haven't worked out the details of just how that's going to work just yet. I may give up accounting and become a tour bus driver. Kidding. I'm hoping to make it available for bands to use to tour, but I'd like to have some type of tour requirements or other incentives to bands to promote themselves better/more efficiently.
I'll work up something. In the end, I want to make sure its used to its utmost to get as many Houston bands to the next level as possible. I'm open to ideas at this point. This all happened so quickly that I haven't been able to put a full program together, but I've got a 30 hours drive from Rhode Island to figure that out. J/K.
RO: Will you be going with them?
MCA: To tour? I hope to get out on a couple of tours. No plans to be a full-time bus driver yet. We'll see.
RO: Will media be allowed to ride the bus?
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
MCA: Of course. That would be awesome. In fact, a couple of media members have already volunteered to make the trip to and from Rhode Island to get the bus. We are trying to plan a "halfway home" tour stop in Nashville right now and have some local bands come along for the ride and the show. [Ed. Note: Austin says Chase Hamblin and Benjamin Wesley have volunteered.]
Again, details are being worked out right now. Flights to Rhode Island are only $135 right now. Wanna go along? [Ed. Note: Yes.]
RO: Are you going to keep the bus in your driveway or what?
MCA: Ha ha! For a while yes, but I'm not sure my neighbors would appreciate that very much. I'm going to have a storage spot or garage to keep it in when its not in service. Anyone have a garage or storage spot that they'd like to let us use? Let me know.

You are currently browsing the daily archive for August 5, 2013.
I had initially intended to continue with trying to show how we can get the nastier elements in the West off our backs, by working in terms of the ideals the nicer ones I think genuinely uphold. Instead of allowing them to be coopted by the nasties, we should try to get them on board to pursue a rights based agenda for our own people. As it stands, rights are used by those who are ruthless in pursuing their own political agendas to excuse continuing interference based on neither principles nor consistency.
I was diverted however by a letter sent to the Secretary of Defence and then widely circulated by someone in Canada who did much for Sri Lanka when efforts were being made to rescue the Tigers from the consequences of their own intransigence. I was dubious however about what he now has written to the Secretary, since he thinks the Secretary should not be surprised that India has not supported us recently in Geneva.
He claims that India has consistently opposed Sri Lanka, and adduces several instances in which India worked against us. Most of these relate to the early eighties, and then he adds the recent votes at the UN Human Rights Council.

Telestream was looking for ways to incrementally improve the performance of the website, turning visitors into Flip4Mac buyers.
Telestream reached out to Blast to devise a testing plan that would provide actionable insights to increase site performance on two specific pages, the Flip4Mac landing page for Microsoft visitors and Flip4Mac landing page for QuickTime visitors.
Blast devised and executed a series of landing page optimization tests, working with Telestream Web Development to implement goal tracking within the Optimizely platform. They were strategically designed to measure how revenue and conversion rates were being effected, uncovering key learnings to be applied to subsequent iterations. This process included:
These learnings led to a redesigned product feature matrix. The new design made the choice simple for visitors by helping them better understand the differences across the product offerings, and persuading them to select a higher priced offering, thus increasing overall revenue. The following is the optimized variation tested against each control page, and their respective results:
By learning from initial variations and applying those learnings to subsequent tests, Blast was able to find an optimal balance between messaging, relevance, and usability that altered the product mix towards the pro version. This resulted in significant increases in conversion rates and average revenue per user with visitors from both segments.
Blast's combined expertise in the fields of conversion research, web analytics, and SEO, make them extremely useful as an outside resource that can lend multiple perspectives toward improving our website's performance. I particularly appreciated their efforts in understanding our business and markets rather than just applying cookie cutter solutions.

The George Marshall Medical Museum holds two main oral history collections: Medicine in Worcester and Powick Hospital. There are also a number of individual recordings of eminent individuals, like Miss Ballinger, the President of the Worcester Royal Infirmary Nurses' League. There are digital copies of all of the recordings, some of which were transcribed into document form when the projects began. Currently, volunteers have started to help staff by transcribing the remaining oral histories, for which staff are extremely grateful; completing just one transcription takes a great deal of time and patience.
You can listen to excerpts from the oral history collections on an interactive touch-table at the Infirmary Museum. The George Marshall Medical Museum is currently updating their interactive PC, which will also include some audio clips.
For more clips, visit the George Marshall Medical Museum's Audioboom site: https://audioboom.com/gmmedicalmuseum or contact us to read transcripts or listen to whole files for research purposes.


text: This is a descriptive ethnographical study with the purpose of examining teachers' and students' experiences of oral examination at a State Pedagogical University in western Russia. The study also focused on finding the characteristics of oral examination and the contextual factors influencing its implementation. The research was done using participatory observations and interviews. The results show that interviewees experience oral assessment in general as positive. Their descriptions are summarised and analysed using a number of key concepts, of which flexibility, subjectivity, individualisation, and fairness are the most important. The study also shows that contextual factors such as culture, traditions, and organisational framework have large impact on how the examination is done. The conclusion is that oral examination has both gins and losses, since the teacher's active participation creates possibilities for individualisation and deep probing of the students' knowledge, but is also a source of bias because of its subjectivity.

Published at Monday, March 12th, 2018 - 11:08:13 AM. Golf Club. By Christabel Coudert.
The fairway woods have club heads that are slightly more lofted than the driver, and are used for long shots when the ball is lying on the ground. The club heads used to be made of wood, but now are mostly metal. Fairway woods normally retail from $150 to $300. You can realize major savings with clone golf woods that run at quite a discount over name brand golf woods.
You'll also find clubs made from other materials. Golf clubs prices range from inexpensive to very expensive. Most beginning golfers should opt for the lower to mid price ranges. As you learn more about the game and how you play you can add more clubs to your bag. Choose a putter that feels good to you.

The Bible, at times, makes it quote clear that its intention is not to give us straightforward answers to questions that we think are important – like on God, for instance. Looking to the Bible to find out what God is like would seem the most obvious thing that it should give us on a silver platter. But this isn't the case and readers have to work with the Bible to find answers. How so?
The God of scripture sometimes knows everything while at other times he appears stumped and trying to figure things out. He's either set in his ways and in full control of the situation or he changes his mind when pressed. Sometimes God overflows with compassion and at other times he has a quick temper. One would think that the Bible wouldn't make the God question harder than it should be. If God is really behind the Bible then why can't he just get this all down via a five-point summary? If the Bible isn't clear even about big issues like God; what's it good for?
What I think the issue is is that readers are expecting from the Bible something that it wasn't set up and inspired to do. Perhaps the Bible is not a manual for us that answers all of our questions about God. The Bible is, after all, a story of God's people on a long, tumultuous, spiritual journey conveyed by different authors, under certain circumstances, for variety of reasons reasons, spanning more than a thousand years. It was written during times of peace and war, in safety and exile, in Israel's youth and adulthood. Its writers were priests, scribes, and kings, separated by time and geography. A book that formed in such a way isn't going to be a consistent one-size-fits-all instructional manual that tells us, in all our varied circumstances, how to grow into a life of faith. A book like that shows us what a life of faith looks like.
Stories are powerful (hence why God revealed himself via diverse stories) and as all good stories do, the Bible shapes us by drawing us into its world and inviting us to connect on many different levels, wherever we are on our journey, and to see ourselves better by its light by stirring our spiritual imagination to walk closer with God.
This is how the Bible acts as a guide for the faithful, by being a story and not a book that is intent on giving us us a list of directions disguised as a story. So, when Christians try to flatten the Bible's diverse voices into one voice we are no longer reading the Bible we have, instead, we are distorting it. The Bible shows us how normal and expected it is for all people of faith to be a part of the same process, the same spiritual journey, of living, reflecting, changing, growing in our understanding of God, ourselves, the world, and our place in it. Christian scholar Peter Enns explains:
"If there's a sense in which the Bible "tells us what to do," I think that's it: as a model of the diverse and unscripted spiritual life, not as our step-by-step instructional guide" (1).
It is also true that portions of the Bible sketch a similar portrait of God, for example, as a distant sovereign being seated on his inaccessible throne. In Genesis 1, for example, God is high above his creation, looks down at it, and is in control of it. We see God making the heavens and the Earth in a series of commands ("Let there be light," etc.) and puts everything in place (the sun, moon, and stars) with minimal effort. Other parts of the Bible presents God in similar ways.
Another common portrait of God in the Bible is God being "one of us." God involves himself in human stories where he figures things out, changes his mind, regrets his own actions, reacts to what others do, and has to be calmed down. When we compare these portraits we begin to see two very different portraits of God in the Bible. This more "human" God forms Adam out of dust, much like a potter would form jars. Here God isn't distant but involved. Again we see that after God forms Adam, God sees that he is alone and so, as if thinking on his feet, he tries to remedy the situation. God then displays the animals in front of Adam to see if one of them will do as a suitable companion but none of them do. It's as if God seems to be making it up as he goes along. God then makes a plan to form a woman from a rib in his side. God's showing of the animals to ease Adam's loneliness didn't work but forming a being like him did. Again, after Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, they hide because they are ashamed of their nakedness. God, who is said to be "walking" in the Garden of Eden at the time notices that they are missing but doesn't know where they are, hence why he asks "Where are you?" God then punishes Adam and Eve and banishes them from the garden. It's as if things are not going according to God's plan and he appears to be caught off guard. Clearly God in the Adam and Eve story doesn't act like God in the first chapter in Genesis who appears to be totally transcendent over his creation.
We see this elsewhere too, as in the story of Abraham, Israel's first ancestor. God gives Abraham a son, Isaac. God then tells Abraham to offer him as a sacrifice which is essentially to ask him to slit his throat. Why would God command Abraham to kill his son? The story is clear that God is testing Abraham to find out whether he "fears" him. So Abraham obeys God's instruction and takes Isaac up to Mount Moriah and ties him to an altar. Just as he is about to kill Isaac God intervenes via an angel that instructs Abraham: "Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God…" Now I know is the clue here. In this story God appears to discover something that he did not know before.
So, why does God need to be calmed down in the first place (as in Sodom and Gomorrah)? What kind of God regrets what he's done (as in Noah's flood)? What kind of God needs to test his creatures so that he can be sure of their loyalty (Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac)? Why is this the case?
I think that this "ungodlike" God of the Bible gets at the heart of both Jewish and Christian beliefs about God. This God is unique; he doesn't keep his distance but embraces human experience and even becomes part of the human story. In the Christian story God steps even further down as he becomes one of us, God in the flesh, in Jesus Christ. God certainly is a multidimensional character in the Bible. Sometimes he is up there, out of the way, and transcendent whereas often he is a God that is personal, involved and a being that you can actually have a relationship with. Honest reflection shows that both these portraits are in the Bible and neither cancels the other out.
