It's resolution season! For many of us, that includes getting fit, getting healthy, and starting off the year on the right track at the gym. When I haven't been to the gym in a while, I tend to ramp up my enthusiasm by doing a little bit of shopping for some new gym gear. A better version of myself would say that exercise and getting fit should be its own reward, but I'm of the mind that a new sports bra to replace one of my current ones in my rotation and a new pair of sneakers can hardly count as frivolous and unnecessary purchases, and certainly don't hurt! Here's a look at some of the best sports bras for large breasts out on the market.

The importance of a good sports bra
I've previously talked a lot about the importance of a good sports bra in a couple of my other articles. Breasts and lack of proper bust support are often cited as one of the top five reasons why women refrain from exercise.
So many bras on the market simply do not do the job of keeping boobs in place. This results in feelings of self-consciousness as your breasts move, and for many, feelings of pain and physical discomfort during and after exercise.
I know personally that a good sports bra was integral during my weight loss journey that began in 2010. The first time I entered a gym at over 250 lbs, I felt awkward as hell, and my body hurt. Having a good bra meant I had one less thing to worry about.
What kind of bra should I be looking for then?
First of all, if you have big boobs (or any size, for that matter) and strong support is your main goal, you need to banish the over-the-head crop top sports bra from your closet.
Why? Ask yourself, how can a piece of material that is wide enough to stretch over your shoulders also be snug enough to keep your breasts in place?
Ideally, for high impact activities, you should be looking for encapsulation bras, molded sports bras that separate and support each breast individually (basically a reinforced, super-supportive version of the bras you wear day to day). For even more movement control, look for a bra that encapsulates and also compresses your breasts.
Why? Breasts move in a figure 8 fashion. Up, down, side to side, and in and out. As a woman ages, breasts actually move more during exercise and need more support. Thanks, gravity! A bra that encapsulates will separate breasts and support them from all sides with the help of a sturdy underwire (or reinforced soft cups) and rigid material. The compression action of the bra will help to reduce the in and out motion.
What makes a sports bra supportive?
I touched on the characteristics for a supportive sports bra in more detail in my article Do you wear a bra under a sports bra? So, here's a quick summary of that list. Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and that there are bras out there that are exceptions:
- For the most part, stick to cup-sized sports bras for the best fit.
- Make sure the bra fits snugly. It should fit more snugly than your everyday bras, even if it is roughly the same band/cup size.
- Find a bra with wide, comfortable straps.
- Find a bra that contains your entire breast. 'Swoop and scoop' applies here.
- Check your breast sits comfortably within the underwire.
- Find a bra that has a back closure.
- Make sure your bra has a good, sturdy band.
- Look for breathable, moisture-wicking material.
- Look for molded cups where possible
Best sports bras for large breasts 2018
Enell High Impact Sports Bra
This bra, in my eyes, remains the king (or queen, rather) of high impact sports bras for bigger cup sizes. It is the bra I see most recommended by female long distance runners, and when it comes to support, it can't be beat.
It's not the most attractive sports bra in existence, you will have a uniboob, but it will keep things in place. A 100% no-bounce sports bra does not yet exist, but this bra comes pretty darn close.
It meets almost every guideline on my list, except that it fastens in the front and the bra is not sized by cups. This bra doesn't have any underwire, and doesn't really count as a molded sports bra. Instead, it creates encapsulation through inner fabric slings and a very well-reinforced band.
I was a bit skeptical about the sizing at first, but Enell has a super easy guide on their site that will help lead you to the right fit. They also have fit experts ready to help if you have questions.
Why I love this bra
This bra overcomes the usual pitfalls of a front-hooking bra by having material with virtually no stretch at all. Once you get the right size, this bra should hold you in place with little need for adjustment throughout the usable life of the bra. As long as you take care of it, this bra will last.
When you put this thing on, it kind of feels like you're putting on a piece of armor. It is full coverage, and has a fully-reinforced back. It's a bit weird at first to feel so covered up, but do a couple jumping jacks and you will warm to the idea.
perfect for
If you do a lot of high-impact sports and stopping movement is your only concern, this is the bra for you.
Other options
If you're an Enell fan, and don't need a ton of support, the company also makes a medium-impact bra of similar styling.
Panache Women's Underwire Sports Bra
The Panache Women's Underwire Sports Bra has been around for a while, and hasn't been unseated by many of the new bras that have debuted since this bra hit the market in 2011.
If I could choose two #1s from this list, then I would put the Panache right up there with Enell. For women who want a nearly-equal high level of support, this is a great option. It's definitely more fashionable than the Enell, and you won't have to suffer through uniboob, either! This bra gives great separation and some lift as well. For women who do not like the amount of coverage that the Enell has, the Panache is the best alternative sports bra for large breasts.
Why I love this bra
This bra hits all the criteria on my list of guidelines, and is also convertible, giving you the option for a racerback look, which is a great option if you need that extra bit of support, or want to wear it under a racerback tee.
Women who are not fans of underwire can rest easy with this sports bra as the underwire is wrapped in silicone and encased in thick fabric layers, which keeps friction to a minimum.
Panache markets the bra as 'non-compression', but I would argue that it is a combination compression/encapsulation bra. They probably did this to distance this bra from the negative connotations that compression-only sports bras have.
You will get great cup definition and protection from all sides thanks to the underwire and high coverage. That sturdy, slightly molded fabric that is snugly encasing your boobs, keeping them pressed firmly to your chest wall, and making your boobs look smaller? That counts as compression to me, and it's not a bad thing. This bra wins because it marries the two types of movement control very well, in a very stylish and comfortable package.
perfect for
This bra is great for women who do high impact sports and want a reliable balance between support and style.
Other Options
For women who are not fans of underwire, Panache also offers a non-wired version of this bra.
Wacoal Women's Underwire Sport Bra
Next up is Wacoal Women's Underwire Sport Bra. This bra comes in third because although it encapsulates extremely well, it has less compression action going on than the Panache, which translated into a little bit more movement (at least for me).
In terms of fit and coverage, it reminded me a lot of my first cup-sized sports bra, the Freya Women's Active Underwire Sports Bra. This bra separates really well, and I really like how wide the underwire goes on the bottom of the cup. For someone who is full on the bottom, this is a great fit for me.
The bigger cup sizes (G & H) even come with an inner sling, which creates extra support around the cup area.
The straps are wide and super comfortable, with a 6-hook adjustment for length. They actually feel more comfortable to me than the straps on the Panache. Unlike Panache's bra though, this one does not have a J-hook racerback option. Women who do need a lot of lift will still like this bra though because the straps are narrowly set.
One feature I find really great with this bra is that the underwire 'floats'. It's not sewn on the inside layer of the bra, it's actually secured between the inner layer of the bra (the part that touches your boob) and the outer layer. This helps to reduce direct contact between the underwire and your breast, which minimizes chafing. The floating underwire makes this bra another excellent choice for women who normally shy away from underwire bras.
Two small downsides—there isn't much by way of lining in this bra, so your nipples may show if you have prominent ones. The other one is that the underwire does come up high under the arms. While this didn't bother me at all, this might not be ideal for petite women, or women with shorter torsos.
Perfect For
Pick this bra if you want an even more defined breast shape than the Panache. This would also be a great pick for women who have breasts that are widely set.
Honorable mentions
I have reviewed a few other sports bras already and I honestly think this list would be incomplete without mentioning them.
Glamorise No-Bounce Full-Support Sport Bra – Full Review
One is a crowd favorite, the Glamorise No-Bounce Full-Support Sport Bra. I covered this one in my article reviewing some affordable sports bra options. This bra is on the upper end of the spectrum and is great value for money.
Highlights include the fact that the bra has no underwire and is full coverage. Like the other bras mentioned in the list, there is a rigid inner layer that helps to keep your breasts supported and in place.
In terms of encapsulation, it doesn't do as great of a job as the Panache or the Wacoal, as it relies on fabric slings alone to create shape. However, you definitely won't get the level of uniboob that you have with the Enell. While I would still call this bra a combination encapsulation/compression bra, it relies more on compression to control your boobs.
Glamorise Women's Double-Layer Custom-Control Sport Bra – Full Review
The other Glamorise bra I think deserves a mention is the Glamorise Women's Double-Layer Custom-Control Sport Bra. It is also underwire-free, and I actually like this one better than the No-Bounce because it has a unique way to adjust the level of support for this bra.
Sports bras are expensive. When faced with having to find the best all-rounder bra that will be good across as a number of different types of sport, most people will tend to go for the most supportive. What I like about this bra is that you can adjust the outer layer for a looser fit for lower impact activity, and tighten things up when you need more support.
Freya Epic Underwire Crop Top sports bra – Full Review
The last bra I will mention is the Freya Epic Underwire Crop Top sports bra. This bra, to me, is Freya's answer to Panache's Underwire Sports bra. Like the Panache, it also has a J-hook for a convertible racerback. This bra also features an inner cup for excellent coverage and encapsulation, as well as an outer layer.
The biggest difference for me is that the molded cup on the Freya feels a lot thicker than the Panache. This bra holds me in well, and is another combination encapsulation/compression bra, but for me the Panache bra wins because it's more breathable.
Pick this bra if you are a Freya fan and are keen for a molded sports bra, you will not be disappointed.
Final thoughts on the best Sports bra options for 2018
As I compiled this list, it struck me that a lot of the entries on it are old. A lot of new bras have come out since the initial release of the bras that I've reviewed, but there haven't really been many serious challengers that lived up to their no-bounce (less bounce) claims when it comes to catering to the larger end of the spectrum.
If you've come across a really great contender for my list of the best sports bras for large breasts that you think has been missed, me and my girls would love to hear from you!

As much as I am enjoying my summer, a part of me is secretly wishing it was fall so I could have an excuse to wear my chunky knits and boots, especially my favorite black studded booties by Steve Madden. These booties are perfect for fall because they go with pretty much everything in my closet. I'll patiently await fall and enjoy the nice weather for now.
Does anyone feel the way I feel about wanting to wear fall clothing already?

If you've been with me for any amount of time then you know I am a huge fan of Rapper turned fashion icon Kanye West. Going into the long weekend I had to leave you with one of my fav quotes from him for this Fashion Quote Friday. While Mr. West gets a bad rap a lot of the time for run ins with the paps, who can deny his impeccable taste for fashion? Not many men can pull off the looks Kanye can but maybe they should at least try. His ripped jeans, t-shirts and barely tied kicks give off an I don't care appearance but the addition of a fur coat makes us think other wise. Kanye West may be one helluva rapper but he is obviously passionate about fashion as well. What other explanation is there for rockin a pair of leather sweat pants?
"People say, 'What do you mean you want to help the world, but you're so concerned about fashion?' It's illegal to be naked. It is something that is extremely important." — Kanye West

Note: Slides and text used for Information Society Statistics meeting en Luxemburg
For many years, I have been attending to international eGovernment meetings. In all those meetings, one of the battles we have fought is the need to enrich our current view of the take up of eGovernment services. This slides are a summary of this point of view, which are the limitations of a measurement based on surveys and the mechanism we use in order to overcome this limitations. And of course some results we have obtained.
Because the concept of the take up of a service is a manifold concept. If you look up its definition in the different dictionaries you will find one different definition in each of them. With the analysis of these different definitions we can draw two conclusion. First of all, something (a service) should be avalaible to be bought, used or accepted. Secondly, that acceptance is a factor as important as usage when we speak about the take up of a service.
The generally accepted aproach of how to measure the take up of eGovernment is based on surveys. In the case of the European Union, these surveys are designed under the direction of Eurostat around one simple question: "Are you using Internet for interaction with Public Authorities?". The results offered us a valued perspective of how many citizens or companies are using eGovernment services, but they do not provide us the complete picture for many reasons. To begin with the moment the survey is done has a big impact in the results. Due to the time-dependent nature of the relationship between citizens and government, results of the survey are quite different depending on when is collected. We only need to analyse the different results offered by Eurostat surveys about the usage of eGovernment services in Spain in the last twelve or three months. Secondly, not everybody need to have relationships with Public Authorities. Finally, not everybody have a knowledge of what services are provided by Public Authorities. Evidences for these two last assertions are provided by a survey conducted by the Spanish Sociological Research Agency in 2010 for the Public Services Evaluation Agency.
The reason of the partial picture provided by Eurostat surveys is the hidden take up of eGovernment services: The indirect usage of the services through intermediaries. In the case of Spain, many companies always have been outsourcing their relationships with Public Authorities through small private offices specialised in this field. With the dawn of eGovernment services, the situation has not changed. Although the small private offices has shifted towards the usage of the electronic channel, the companies they represent are unaware that their relation with Public Administrations actually are conducted online. Similar landscape appear in the arena of the relationships between citizens and governments, but in this case the role of intermediaries are played mainly by family members and friends.
Therefore, we need a mechanism to overcome the assumptions that underpin the Eurostat surveys in order to have a complete picture of the take up of e Government services. Apart of the factors mentioned above for the citizens survey, in the case of the companies survey the limitations are that the size of the companies are not weighted and not all the NACE sectors are included. For these reasons, in 2010 we began to collect data about the number of cases handled online and face-to-face for the main eGoverment services provided by the National Government. The aim was to have a better view of the shift from the analogical model to the digital world in Government services.
The IT system used as the cornerstone for collecting the data is the Administrative Inventory System (AIS). The AIS was established in 1992, originally only as system for compiling the administrative procedures based on software applications. In the transition phase for the implementation of Spanish eGovernment Act (Law 11/2007), the system evolve as an inventory of all the National Government administrative procedures with the information about its degree of online availability. The system was a critical instrument for tracking the implementation of the eGovernment Act which included the obligation of providing through electronic means all the National Government services by the end of 2009. In 2010 the National Interoperability Framework include the obligation for ministries and agencies of the National Government the updating of the information contained in the AIS about its procedures, including the number of cases handled through the different channels.
The AIS is not a complex system. It has a user-friendly web interface and a database which is the hard of the system. In order to pave the way for the integration of the AIS with the back-office the ministries and agencies, the AIS offered also a M-2-M interface based in web services. The database includes for each procedure its regulation, forms, degree of online availability, number of cases handled through each channel and a clasification attending the target (citizen or company), type (grant, taxes, statements, ...) and policy (education, health, ...). More than 2000 procedures and services are compiled in the AIS database.
The results are published yearly in the website of the eGovernment Observatory since 2010. This information help us to complement the information provided by Eurostat surveys. The results show an steady growth in the take up of eGovernment services, with a similar trend to Eurostat surveys but at higher level in terms of absolute numbers. According with the data collected, nearly 70% of the citizens transactions with the government and more than 90% of the companies transactions are handled online.

Buffalo Chicken Dip
Passed to your plate by Caitlin Neyer
My best friend Anne was dating this guy and none of our friends particularly cared for him. (In all honesty neither did she.) But one of their early outings together was a Super Bowl party where the guy brought this Buffalo Chicken Dip. Anne fell head over heels in love – with the dip. She asked him for the recipe but he said it was a family secret and wouldn't give it to her. This poor guy liked Anne a lot and made her this dip whenever she requested it, which was borderline too often. Finally, one day (after dating for far too long) he caved and gave her the recipe! She dumped him shortly thereafter. Read more
Anne is now happily married to a wonderful guy, but to this day we still laugh about she dated her this guy just for this dip!

A Scarlett O'Hara cocktail containing Southern Comfort, cranberry juice, and lime juice. Just the thing for a southern celebration.
One of the best things about being a food blogger is being part of the food blogging community. It's a community full of supportive, helpful people who are always willing to lend an ear and are unfailingly encouraging. One of the most encouraging and one whom I met early in my blogging experience was Barbara from Creative Culinary. Barbara and I originally connected through Twitter, exchanging comments and bouncing ideas off each other eventually becoming not just blogging buddies, but also good friends.
Barb's food blog was actually one of the first on the internet and started as a simple archival site where she stored her personal recipes. Over the years it grew and was refined with beautiful photography and more and more delicious recipes.
One year ago, Barb added a Friday cocktail feature to her blog and that's what we're celebrating today. Her cocktail recipes are always interesting with fascinating background and history on the cocktails she presents. She also often suggests perfectly paired hors d'oeuvres for her cocktails. Her weekly feature has been very well received even spawning a copycat site or two.

Let's Celebrate with Barb!
So today, a whole bunch of us food bloggers are posting cocktails to celebrate Barb's one-whole-year of Friday cocktails! Now, I have to admit that BeeBop and I are not really cocktail drinkers. It's pretty rare for us to mix up a cocktail. As a matter of fact, I could probably count on one hand the number of times we've made cocktails in our nearly 25 years of being married. Nevertheless, I still knew exactly what I wanted to do for Barb's celebration. I mean, really, what could be more appropriate for a Southern food blogger to post than a Scarlett O'Hara?
A Scarlett O'Hara is a mix of Southern Comfort liqueur, cranberry juice, and lime juice. Mix one up and lift a glass to Barb! Congrats, girl!

Premier Hon. Alden McLaughlin and Opposition Leader Hon. McKeeva Bush don't agree on much these days, but both men are singing the same tune on UK Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn's call to impose direct rule on British overseas territories, which he labeled "Honey pots of corruption."
They both agree Mr. Corbyn is misinformed and missing the mark on the realities of Cayman's financial services industry.
"The call by Jeremy Corbyn, the opposition leader of the United Kingdom, for the imposition of direct rule in the overseas territories is absolutely preposterous," Mr. McLaughlin told Cayman 27.
"Direct rule cannot and will not happen in these islands," said Mr. Bush.
"He seems to believe we are still living in the 18th century where the United Kingdom, a colonial power, can just do what it pleases to the people of one of its colonies. Well, fortunately we've moved well beyond that," said Mr. McLaughlin.
The premier chalked up these misinformed attitudes to long-standing misconceptions jurisdictions like ours can't seem to shake, despite the country's history of compliance on tax and money laundering matters and international cooperation.
"We've moved well beyond that a long time ago. Cayman is one the most compliant jurisdictions in the world, with respect to global standards for reporting transparency and cooperation with respect to tax matters and we have one of the most robust anti-money laundering regimes in the world in place," said Mr. McLaughlin.
"Labour is talking rubbish," said Mr. Bush.
Mr. Bush said it's absurd that talk of direct rule is coming to the fore now, when successive UK governments have had a hand in shaping Cayman's tax transparency laws.
"The problem for the United Kingdom and other countries is that the metropolitan countries have onshore centers that do not comply with what they want us to do," said Mr. Bush.
Both men say Mr. Corbyn and his Labour Party are misdirecting their attention.
"Labour is not being reasonable, nor have they thought out what their leader is suggesting," said Mr. Bush.
"Cayman is not Panama," said the Premier.
The premier told Cayman 27 based on his talks with the UK government, he doesn't believe it shares Mr. Corbyn's views.
He said he does take the threat of direct rule seriously. The country has engaged legal counsel, just in case.

Bolivian fan stabbed to death in brawl with Colombia hooligans
LA PAZ, Bolivia -- A Bolivian fan was killed in a knife attack after he was apparently caught up in a brawl between rival Colombian hooligans groups.
Police in Bolivia on said Tuesday that 35-year-old Nicolas Rojas died in a knife attack in the city of Cochabamba. Police say the victim was gathered in a bus terminal with supporters of Colombian club Independiente Medellin when this group confronted followers of rival Colombian club Deportivo Cali.
Police say the Deportivo Cali group was on the way to a Copa Sudamericana match in Paraguay. Police say Rojas was dressed in red, the color of Independiente and also the color of his Bolivian club Wilstermann, which made him an apparent target.
Six people were arrested, but police said the suspect in the killing may have fled the country.

Sweat drips down my face and I've been hiking for two hours. At this point, I'm just concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other. Then we get to a clearing and I see majestic rock formations. Time for pictures! Instagram filter, check. Ummm…I'm closing my eyes in this one. Do you mind taking it again? On to the next trail!
While some of my classmates are busy having adventures in Asia, Europe, Africa, I'm in the exotic land of…Illinois! Starved Rock State Park is only two hours away by car and it's a nice place to go to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. It's a place not many of my classmates know about, but it's very familiar to me. I moved to Chicago when I was in high school and have lived here since (except for two years in Korea, 3 months in France, and a summer in Paraguay). As a Booth Experience blogger, some of my posts may cover similar hidden gems in and around Chicago, although I must admit that my fellow Class of 2016 Boothies from other cities have been doing a pretty good job of exploring in just the year they've been here!
But that's not only reason I wanted to write about my hike at Starved Rock State Park. I realized as I was walking that it's actually a pretty good analogy for MY interpretation of life in business school. For some of you laboring to finish the GMAT or write those essays, it might feel like you're scaling a mountain and if you just get to the top, it will be smooth sailing from there. As Boothies, we can fall prey to the same thinking (if I just get this perfect internship, I'm set!) What I've gradually been realizing during my time here is that it's more like a long hike through a wooded trail. Yes, there will be highs and lows, and you might change your mind about what you want to do "when you grow up" several times. The great news is that the flexibility at Booth allows you to choose your own trail. You might go left while others go right, but here at Booth, that's ok!
If you do find that your path is leading you towards Booth, you can look forward to a community that will support you. Even though a large part of why I came to Booth was to transition to a new career path, I know that what I'm learning through my classes, extracurricular activities, and the Booth community, goes beyond just helping me get that first job. I'm gaining skills and making friendships that I can carry throughout the whole rest of my career, and THAT, to answer the question posed by my fellow blogger, Gordon, is why I'm here and not somewhere else.

Wear red! Be Happy! Eat good food! May you have a joyous and prosperous year!
I should speak ill of the departed, but that chicken/rooster had to have one last parting shot at me. Honestly I was waiting for it, but became complacent. All week I was trying to be careful because I knew the New Year was coming, but what better time to strike than at the very end? Right in my own neighborhood, less than 30 seconds from my house, I was involved in a car accident last evening coming home. After sitting in terrible rush hour traffic and getting out late from work, one wishy-washy girl later and CRRSSSH. I was really rather lucky, however because while the girl herself was literally hysterical, her dad was very calm, collected and fair. She wouldn't talk to me at all and didn't even jump out of her car to meet me, so I was awkwardly standing around by myself until her mom came out (it was right in front of her house). Nothing terrible, just scrapes and a dent on the side of my car. Unfortunately for me, however, no one would ever rule that accident in my favor and I'll admit that it was due to assumptions and trust that this driver was going to do what she indicated she was going to do. Dash cam shows it, but all legal powers viewing the footage would agree it was most certainly my fault. No one wanted to call the cops, so we let our insurance handle it all. I ruminated it over all night and now, of course, my insurance is going to go up, I'm sure. Long and short of it? I was driving in behind her on our neighborhood road (I was super chill today which is not normal, but I was really tired), going rather slowly. She slowed down and signaled her intention to turn into her house driveway, so as she came to a stop (you can see on the dash cam that she had crossed the double yellow to turn), she'd left enough room that I could go around her in consideration of the rush hour line behind me. I made sure no one was coming up on the merge and proceeded to go around when for whatever reason she DIDN'T turn and decided to go straight, right into me. It was like a dream and for a little bit I wondered if this was at all real. Oh it was real enough when I opened the door and saw the dents and scratches. I tried to be as fair and impartial as possible, and while it is as I always say: nervous and wishy washy people are always the cause of accidents, not confident people, I should never had made any assumptions as to her intentions. The more I look at the footage, the more I realize what she was trying to do, which was make a U-turn to park on the street in front of her house. Explains why she went not only forward but to the right. She should not have done that on such a busy street and I should not have tried to go around and waited to see what she was going to do. And because we didn't call the cops, the only clear loser is me. At least no one got a ticket, though. I would have gotten, at minimum, failure to yield, passing on the right, etc. Ruminating all night and evening on it, I kept wondering how it could have been different…if I'd stayed one more minute at work to talk, if I hadn't run that yellow, or if I had decided to be more aggressive instead of as chill as I was yesterday, if I'd been more impatient and made a turn onto a different route home, if there were more people at the stop sign, if she had stayed more to the right instead of the left. I guess…someone else might have gotten into that accident, not me…given how everyone drives around here, I'm 50% sure that another person would have done the same thing I did and made the same assumptions. I've lived here long enough to know. Maybe that other person would have been much more nasty and I saved her that. All I know is that she acted very strangely: wouldn't get out of her car, wouldn't talk to me, wouldn't even go into her own house, screamed and yelled and cursed her father out, adamantly refused to leave the safety of her car the whole time I was talking to her parents. It was a minor accident, but I guess in her head it was this monumental thing. He told me that she had JUST had an accident in the same place not 2 weeks ago, so I guess this was horrifically traumatic for her.
Well, no matter where the fault lies, that girl is fighting some terrible demons right now. I'm not unscathed psychologically because I'm mad that my perfect record is dead and that now I have to deal with my car and insurance and WHAT A PAIN. And my plan for doing house stuff next week? GONE. Again. I don't know why every time I want to go down and do house stuff I can't. It's like something is telling me not to, to wait, not to finish, not to sell. Not yet! WHYYYYY????
It's very warm today and the dogs were unable to sleep all night long it was so stuffy. 70 degrees in the middle of February…and snow in the forecast for tomorrow! Now that I have the window open, Gable is napping. My golden dog. Well, I hope this whole thing gets dealt with easily and quickly so that I can maybe enjoy some of my week off…instead of sitting around moping. That's another lucky thing: that it happened right before I take a week off work.
C'mon year of the dog!!! Help me out here! Some good events please! It's Friday everyone! Enjoy it!

LWV, CNC host discussion on fracking in Michigan
The League of Women Voters teamed up with the Chippewa Nature Center to host a discussion related to many of the wells and drilling companies in Michigan.
"Perspectives on Fracking in Michigan" brought in about 60 people on Thursday, 15 from the League of Women Voters. The event featured Harold Fitch, director of the Office of Oil, Gas and Minerals for the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, along with Chiara Barbier and Jacque Rose, co-founders of Friends of the Au Gres-Rifle Watershed. Each of the three speakers gave presentations before answering fracking-related questions from the audience.
"Fracking is a process of oil and gas extraction. They use high-pressured water to break apart the bedrock and release the particles for our own gas," Barbier said of the process.
Barbier said fracking is important for Midland County residents because of several areas nearby where mineral rights are owned, as well as companies wishing to come and drill in the areas. Barbier also said the potential of fracking companies coming to the state is not a good thing for Michigan's future.
"Michigan has the second largest revenue from tourism, and this technology is in our state forests. It's threatening our water. Nobody is going to want to take a walk in the woods or go swimming in a nearby lake when they know there could be chemicals in it," Barbier said. "It's about protecting our water and protecting our air."
Karen Sherwood, president of the League of Women Voters in the Midland area, said the purpose of the event was to bring education about fracking to the area.
"We were in charge of this program. We called and begged these people to come, and they agreed to do it," Sherwood said.
The event began with introductions from Sherwood and Dennis Pilaske, director of interpretation for the Chippewa Nature Center, before the three speakers gave their presentations and answered questions. Questions revolved around deterioration of cement pipes, Department of Natural Resources involvement with the wells, and liability from accidents or spills made by the drilling company.
Sherwood said the speakers' explanation taught her a lot about mineral rights. "I thought it was fascinating that someone else can own more mineral rights, and then a well comes across the road from you and your house is worth nothing," Sherwood said.

Islam / Orientations / Shi'i / Imam /
Arabic: hassan
Other spelling: Hasan
Hassan is presented as the favourite of the prophet Muhammad, his grandfather, but he did not get along well with his father and brother, Husayn, after the death of his mother, Fatima, in 633.
With the death of Ali in 661, Hassan was proclaimed Caliph in Iraq by his followers. These followers were principally interested in ousting Syria from its position, and wanted Hassan to start a war between Arabia and Syria.
All that resulted from this was a rupture between Hassan and the Iraqis. Hassan had been in a leading position in Iraq at first, but lost this now.
As it turned out, Hassan's main interest was to come to an agreement with the Caliph of Syria, Mu'awiyya. A pension was offered for both Hassan and Husayn, and , as a result of this, Mu'awiyya had both the Alid brothers off his back.
While Shi'i texts try to blame Mu'awiyya for the death of Hassan, these probably represent a falsification, since Hassan at the time of his death represented no danger whatsoever for the ruling Mu'awiyya having been made passive 8 years previously and living far away, but under good control.
The most likely conclusion is that Hassan died of consumption, and after his death his brother Husayn became the head of the Alids.

Dining review: The Barleycorn in West Asheville
Oh, if there was only a place to get a burger and a beer in West Asheville.
Oh wait — West Asheville is now flooded with burger and beer options. But a new West Asheville contender, The Barleycorn, sticks to this blueprint, while at the same time straying from it. Confusing, I know, but it works.
Opening about six months ago, The Barleycorn took over the old Burgermeister's space last year after extensive renovations.The dining room is now more industrial chic and less diner. While the exposed ceiling and concrete floor can be a bit sterile, the wood and small pops of color bring in a needed warmth.
The Barleycorn is really more of a gastropub than a pub, though it has some nice craft choices. I availed myself of a Catawba White Zombie on this particular hot summer evening. The Barleycorn is also known for its cocktails, winning this year's Bar Wars AVL.
We also tried the Azalea, with its cherry, chipotle honey, tequila, chocolate bitters, mint and a float of Lambrusco. It turned out to be a great summer sipper. It was sangria-like with its fruitiness and sparkling red wine, but much more complex. There was some fizz from the lambrusco, spice from the chipotle honey and sweetness from the fruit, which trailed off to an earthiness brought on from the chocolate bitters.
Turns out Barleycorn has won another war: the Wing War. While two flavors are offered, the buffalo chimicurri won us over. Served with a homemade blue cheese dressing for dipping, you could easily see why these wings were winners. The buffalo glaze was not the traditional butter-and-hot-sauce combo. Rather, it was a thicker glaze, a nice amount of spiciness and a balancing sweetness that gave the wings an original twist. The chimichurri element was just a little green drizzle on the plate; I would have liked to taste it more. But that detail aside, the wings made a great start to the meal.
We ordered the Tuscan kale Caesar salad to share. Kept simple with homemade croutons and a hefty dusting of Parmesan, the fact that there were few ingredients was a testament to how well the salad was executed. My wife couldn't stop eating it and wished she didn't offer to share it with me.
While Barleycorn has some standards like burgers and fish and chips, I was in the mood to try something a little different. The Prince Edwards Island mussels, the flavor of which change daily, were served with green curry and a few pieces of buttered baguette to soak up any leftover juices. We're extreme fans of green curry, but sadly this sauce fell a bit flat. It lacked seasoning and didn't have that intrinsic heat that a great green curry typically has.
I selected the marinated bavette steak as my entree. I'm an advocate of bavette and use it from time to time. More commonly known as a flap steak, it's similar to a flank and reacts well to marinating. But I never quite figured out what the marinade was in this case; the menu simply just stated that it was marinated. The steak was seasoned and cooked beautifully. It had a nicely seared crust and was sliced against the grain correctly, yielding a tender bite.
You can choose to have a béarnaise sauce or a bourbon-bacon jam. Very important: opt for the bourbon-bacon jam. It was smoky, slightly sweet and full of bacon pieces.
The steak was served with a side of fries and Moroccan cauliflower. The cauliflower, flavored with a curry spice mixture, was roasted perfectly. The fries were crisp and served with a side of housemade curry ketchup, which tied in with the seasoning of the cauliflower. This was a successful dish, one I'd order again. It was also nice to see a different cut such as bavette show up on the menu.
Oh, by the way, we didn't let the visit go completely by without trying a burger. Last, but never least, the baby gourmand opted to try the kids' burger. Served in a low-sided wooden box platter of sorts was a small burger with a nice-looking bun, perfectly toasted, with a side of fries. The burger was just OK, but the fries, just as on my plate, were delicious. And, the presentation made for one of the most stylized kids plates I've seen in a while.
Yes, we traded out a burger joint for a place that serves burgers, but The Barleycorn also serves so much more: great cocktails, unique entrees and homemade desserts.
Reach chef and instructor Matthew DeRobertis at email@example.com.
The restaurant: The Barleycorn Pub. 697 Haywood Road, Suite A (the old Burgermeister's spot). Tuesday-Saturday, 5 p.m.-midnight, Sunday, 3 p.m.-10 p.m. thebarleycornpub.com.
Atmosphere: A modern take on the pub, but it's West Asheville, so things are pretty casual. A few tables for patio dining.
Dish to try: Bavette. Seared to perfection and served with a side of bourbon bacon jam, this steak is a no-brainer. The only decision you'll have is what beer to pair with it. Not a meat eater? Veggie options are available.
Beverage notes: Cocktails, wines and a nice selection of craft beers on draught.
Prices: Entrees, $9-$18, a little higher than your typical pub.
Service: Seated. Our server was knowledgeable of the menu and food came at an adequate pace.
Health department score: 97
The bottom line: This isn't your typical pub, and it is worth a trip across town to check out their take on pub grub. At the very least, you can sample one of their cocktails or wing dishes. Not everything we had was award-winning, but if they keep going at this rate, the Barleycorn may become a West Asheville institution.

Soon, watch 3-D movies at home sans glasses
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Washington D.C. [USA], Jul 13 (ANI): A team of researchers is trying to bring glasses-free 3-D technology to your living room. Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) came up with 'Home3D,' a new system that allows users to watch 3-D movies at home without having to wear special glasses. Home3D converts traditional 3-D movies from stereo into a format that's compatible with so-called "automultiscopic displays." According to lead author Petr Kellnhofer, these displays are rapidly improving in resolution and show great potential for home theatre systems. "Automultiscopic displays aren't as popular as they could be because they can't actually play the stereo formats that traditional 3-D movies use in theatres," noted Kellnhofer. "By converting existing 3-D movies to this format, our system helps open the door to bringing 3-D TVs into people's homes." Home3D can run in real-time on a graphics-processing unit (GPU), meaning it could run on a system such as an Xbox or a PlayStation. The team said that in the future Home3D could take the form of a chip that could be put into TVs or media players such as Google's Chromecast. The team's algorithms for Home3D also let users customize the viewing experience, dialing up or down the desired level of 3-D for any given movie. In a user study involving clips from movies including 'The Avengers' and 'Big Buck Bunny,' participants rated Home3D videos as higher quality 60 percent of the time, compared to 3-D videos converted with other approaches. Home3D converts 3-D movies from "stereoscopic" to "multiview" video, which means that, rather than showing just a pair of images, the screen displays three or more images that simulate what the scene looks like from different locations. As a result, each eye perceives what it would see while really being at a given location inside the scene. This allows the brain to naturally compute the depth in the image. One downside to converting traditional 3-D video to multiview TVs is that the limited resolution can lead to images appearing with duplicates near or around them -- a phenomenon referred to as "ghosting." The team hopes to further hone the algorithm to minimize ghosting, but for now, they say that they are excited that their conversion system has demonstrated the potential for bringing existing 3-D movie content beyond the multiplex. "Glasses-free 3-D TV is often considered a chicken-and-egg problem," said Gordon Wetzstein, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University, who was not involved in the research. "Without the content, who needs good 3-D TV display technology? Without the technology, who would produce high-quality content? This research partly solves the lack-of-content problem, which is really exciting." The paper will be presented at this month's SIGGRAPH computer graphics conference in Los Angeles. (ANI)

Mambo-a Bantu word meaning communication with the Gods
Soul-The spiritual principle embodied in human beings
Passionate, Spirited, Latin-Fusion artist Martin Franco celebrates the cultural musical gumbo that is the San Francisco Bay Area. Martin Franco and his band Mambo Soul bring a conscious party vibe with Salsa Dura, Tropical Cumbia, Merengue, Reggaeton, Latin Rock, Latin Jazz, Heavy Funk and Roots Reggae, providing a spark of collective excitement for all their musical performances.
A poly-Caribbean experience, Martin Franco has his roots in Colombia where Cumbia, Vallenato and Salsa Dura reign supreme, in New York City where the Boogaloo, Latin-Soul and Jazz of Fania-era Salsa reached a creative peak, in Santo Domingo and San Juan Puerto Rico where hard hitting Merengue and Salsa rock the nights, in Kingston Jamaica where Roots Reggae rules cool mon, and in California where psychedelic Latin Rock musicians Santana, War and Malo picked up on Jazz, Funk and Caribbean rhythms creating the original Latin jam bands.
Martin Franco, a Colombian-Italian-American vocalist, saxophonist, accordionist and keyboardist from New York City, synthesizes the classic styles of many Latino communities: Colombian, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Mexican, Central American and Nuyorican creating a deep hybrid with American Funk, Classic Rock and Jamaican Reggae all played with a Jazzy Urban Latino twist.
Wild accordions and guitars, saxophones, Spanish-bilingual vocals backed by thundering, driving timbales and percussion keep everyone locked on the dance floor whenever Martin Franco's Mambo Soul play.
'Cus it's ALL about
Peace, Love and Celebration!!!
Paz, Amor y Fiesta!!!

Learning log
Learning Logs are a personalized learning resource for children. In the learning logs, the children record their responses to learning challenges set by their teachers. Each log is a unique record of the child's thinking and learning. The logs are usually a visually oriented development of earlier established models of learning journals, which can become an integral part of the teaching and learning program and have had a major impact on their drive to develop a more independent learner.
Model Support[edit]
The importance of learners becoming aware of their own thought processes and gaining insights into the strategies they use to resolve problems, or overcome difficulties.[1] There is also critical need for students to become actively involved in the process of learning.[2]
Research findings indicating that journals of this type are likely to increase metacognition through students becoming more aware of their own thought processes.[3] Research using a "thinking book" which investigated the development of reflective thinking skills in children.[4]
This model of learning logs differs significantly from these earlier models by introducing a greater opportunity for the children to introduce colourful graphic and physical representations to illustrate their thinking and learning, rather than simply relying on the written word. Much of the development of learning logs built on practical classroom applications of mapping and visual tools.[5][6] This has generated a motivation to engage in the process of reflective learning in students who have had more difficulty in expressing themselves through the conventional written form. The use of the learning logs has extended now to schools in Australia, Canada and Thailand in addition to their extensive use in schools throughout the UK. An outline of some of the practical applications of the learning logs along with a number of illustrations of the innovative thinking which has emerged as a product of this visual learning tool.[7]
Use and Scope[edit]
The process of using learning logs involves developing thinking and learning skills, which are enhanced by a peer partnership system. In this peer system, the children are encouraged to discuss and share their thoughts, as well as to develop their learning logs in a collaborative way. Learning Logs also give the opportunity for the students to provide feedback to their teachers in order to help extend and elaborate their understanding.
The learning log allows teachers to quickly and easily share weekly teaching objectives with the children. Once set up the children then take the lead role in sharing and developing their knowledge and understanding and displaying this in a range of styles. The learning log is not an in depth assessment tool but more of a snapshot of what the students have or have not understood in their lesson material.
The learning log can be used at any key stage and for a range of learning activities. It addresses the current creative agenda and has had considerable success with students of a more challenging nature.

Lower Back Pain
Alleviate Lower Back Pain with Chiropractic Care
Lower back pain is such a common complaint that four of every five back pain sufferers seek treatment. Pulled muscles or damaged discs, injuries are just a few causes of back pain and can occur anytime, anywhere.
Traditionally, lower back pain treatment has employed muscle relaxants, pain-killers, rest, hot packs and cold packs, and physical therapy treatments like traction. When these measures do not resolve the problem, surgery is often performed.
Unfortunately, surgery is not always effective, and many patients report a recurrence of symptoms within a year or two of undergoing surgery. In fact, it is so common for back surgery to be ineffective, there is actually a condition called Failed Back Surgery.
How Do The Georgetown Clinics Treat Lower Back Pain?
At the Georgetown Clinics, a thorough physical and neurological examination is performed to help determine the cause of lower back pain. These exams include:
- X-ray: Long known as an effective tool for the analysis of injury and illness, our medical clinics are equipped with x-ray for convenience and ease of diagnosis.
- Electromyography (EMG) Testing: EMG tests the electrical activity in in muscles, which may help physical medicine specialists more accurately diagnose and treat the cause of a patient's pain.
- Functioning and Performance Testing: Before beginning chiropractic manipulations or physical therapy sessions, our dedicated healthcare professionals will first evaluate the spine to assess the level of damage the spine has endured.
- Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) Testing: For patients that experience numbness or tingling, our physical medicine experts will run a nerve conduction velocity test (NCV) to detect signs of nerve injury. By measuring how the speed of electrical impulses as they travel along a nerve, we can determine the degree of nerve damage.
Once a diagnosis is made, the clinic's team of physicians determines the best course of action, which may include:
- Chiropractic Care
- Physical Therapy
- Trigger Point Therapy
- Rehab Exercises
- Topical Medical Pain Relief
- Prescription Medication
Georgetown Clinics have even had success with helping people who are suffering after failed back surgery.
If you're suffering from acute or chronic lower back pain, the Georgetown Clinics can help. A multidisciplinary practice, committed to alleviating pain through the use of evidence-based treatments, the Georgetown Clinics provide lower back pain relief by creating a customized treatment plan for each individual patient.

One brilliant spot was the $15M renovation of the State Street retailer, which had by then been shorn of the elegant and famous Store for Males throughout the road. The properly-obtained renovation closed the alley between State and Wabash streets, however confusingly introduced an additional atrium into a nicely-ordered store layout that already had two famous and delightful ones. Yet in spite of the adjustments, customers understood that Field's, ugly … Read More . . .

Bicycling the Trail
The Enabling Garden is like an oasis on the Vern Willey II Trail. Stop for a rest, refill your water bottle at our drinking fountain, or have a picnic while you enjoy the beautiful surroundings. With HyVee next door to the garden, you can even have a spontaneous picnic with a to-go salad from the HyVee Salad Bar. Bike racks are adjacent to the garden.
Three picnic areas at the Enabling Garden:
- Eight person picnic table overlooking the river in sun
- Wheelchair accessible picnic table under the shelter
- Four person picnic table in full shade
Walking the Trail
If you want to walk the trail, you can park at the Enabling Garden and start your walk from the garden. The trail is formed in several loops so you can choose the distance you want to walk as you progress. There are benches in the shade along the river to rest and enjoy the ducks. You will not need to cross any streets on this trail, as there are two tunnels that cross underneath the intersecting streets. The trail is especially great for dog walking, because it runs along a wetland preserve that dogs find fascinating.
After your walk, take a break on the garden swing, and enjoy the best view of the garden and river trail. The swing faces the sunset!

This place is meant for talking about adding possible forums, possibly renaming certain things, etc. which is talking about how the forum runs. Yes, I believe it should of been moved because the admins wouldn't look here and expect such a question that is related to the "site" and not ufo2000.

I've been to mantis, and quite honestly alot of what I saw, I didn't really understand.
Particularly when it came to which issues are resolved, which are in progress,etc.
Some of the issues that I saw looked like they were still open, but they are apparently resolved at some point. For the veterans, it's probably second nature to work from there, but for me(I can't honestly speak for anyone else at this point), it was intimidating to say the least.
I believe that many of the members here probably have no coding experience whatsoever.
Probably just as many have very little to speak of(myself include).
I believe that there is alot of enthusiasm to get involved, even if a user doesn't know how to program.
Surely many members that lack knowledge, do not lack talent.
I know that there are alot of tasks that require solid programming experience, but if the less knowledge-more time related tasks could be delegated to some of us less knowledgeable members, then maybe some of the veterans would have more time to focus on the higher level tasks.
If there is already a forum dedicated to this, then I apologize for wasting thread, and ask that that someone reply and tell me where(I'm not talking about the "ufo2000 I'd like to help" forum). The Idea here is more specific. Although, maybe it could reside there, I don't know.
I know that if tasks were priodically tossed out onto a forum, and the details of the task are pretty specific,
someone will probably take a shot at it.
I know that this concept could open up a can of worms, especially were dependability is an issue,
but ultimately it wouldn't matter if seven people claimed a task, as long as one of them finished it.

The mantis is pretty much an organizer, not a code dispenser. Anybody can look/change the code and submit a patch at will. Just check our high priority topics, or just because you want to change something. Compilation instructions
If people want something done, they need to report it in the mantis, but that does not mean priority raises because seven people want it. OR they could take task upon themselves. Nobody's holding seven people from working on the same thing, just not very productive.
The Bugs, suggestions, and comments forum is basically a discussion forum for your development topics. All we would be is duplicating that forum.

Hello, my crafty friends! It's Julie with you today, and I'm so pleased to be here!
Are you enjoying this month's New Releases? Aren't they wonderful?!? I've been having so much fun with them! Today, I'm sharing a new release that you'll see more of in a couple of days. The new release is called Lovely Ladies. There are 3 equally Lovely Ladies in the digital set, and 4 great sentiments.
I adore shaped cards, and make them often. Here's a shape I haven't made before, but I thought it framed this Lovely Lady well:
She didn't seem to need any coloring to me at all. I printed her on colored card stock, then cut her out with an oval die. Papers for this card are from MHKDesigns Damsel in Distress digital paper pack. The sentiment is part of the Lovely Ladies set
MHKDesigns products used:
Have you joined the MHKDesigns monthly challenge yet? It's Anything Goes, if you use an MHKDesigns product. You still have lots of time to enter -- it goes until the end of the month. Come join the fun! I'd love to see what you make! Check out the MHKDesigner and Friends Facebook group, too. There's lots of great inspiration there!

"Whenever you are along the side of most, you're ready to stop and reflect."
– Mark Twain
Contrarian investors think that following a crowd results in losses and missed possibilities. Once the crowd reacts to news or speculation in regards to a stock or even the market, the cost can rise of fall to date, which has mis-priced the need for the organization or even the market.
For instance, a business finds it has to recall an item as a result of design or manufacturing problem. The recall causes prevalent pessimism about the organization and drives the cost from the stock to new lows. The issue is real although the thought of the need for the stock is misplaced. Contrarian investors recognize these situations as possibilities. When the selling has ended and the organization puts in position the required actions to fix the issue, the cost recovers. Any investors who bought shares once the problem what food was in its worst, realize excellent gains.
Similarly, prevalent optimism frequently leads to high valuations that can't be justified by fundamentals. Eventually, the marketplace recognizes the problem and also the cost falls. Again, contrarian investors avoid these highly hyped stocks, as the chance of an autumn is more than the reward from it climbing greater.
The contrarian investor looks to participate the "smart money," individuals couple of investors who notice that crowd behavior is commonly wrong frequently. Once the smart money players recognize this case, they aim to take advantage of the extreme sentiment expressed through the crowd. Not so good news frequently overstates the danger and prospects of the company. Many investors will sell these shares inside a panic to prevent owning the business's shares. Contrarian investors identify and purchase distressed stocks, selling them when the organization recovers, resulting in market beating returns.
In similar fashion, excessively positive investors can increase the cost of the stock or even the sell to valuations that don't make economic sense. Eventually, extremely high expectations don't pan out and also the cost plunges. Contrarian investors are careful to exit or avoid these exaggerated situations. By going from the crowd, which has an unfounded belief towards the market, contrarian investors prepare to visit another way and steer clear of the losses everyone experience.
Deciding when you should enter a contrarian trade requires some strength and confidence. In 1999 and early 2000, the us dot-com boom was going ahead. Many investors think that the web ass altering the character of economic. Consequently, most of the fundamental and technical measures of performance weren't any longer valid. On the way, lots of people bought in to the market driving in the internet capital inflows to any or all time highs. Point about this new money originated from retail or non-professional investors driving in the NASDAQ. When the inflow of recent money tapered off, there is nothing left to aid the very overvalued market. The marketplace crashed.

Munster rugby star helps West Limerick school launch huge fundraising drive
A WEST Limerick secondary school has urged members of the local community to lend their help to one of the biggest fundraising campaigns in its 20 year history.
Scoil Mhuire agus Ide in Newcastle West is hoping to raise in excess of €30,000 with a 'who wants to be a thousandaire' competition next month, as it seeks to protect teaching resources in the face of ongoing funding cuts.
The competition, which was officially launched last week with the help of Munster rugby star Damien Varley, has already seen over €20,000 committed by way of sponsorship from businesses around Newcastle West and further afield.
Sheilagh O'Mahony-Kennedy, principal of Scoil Mhuire agus Ide, said that though the campaign is only in its infancy, the school has already received "absolutely amazing support".
"From a personal point of view, as principal and a member of the board of management, I've been overwhelmed by the support people across the community have shown us so far.
"What we're asking people to do is buy a ticket, of course, but also come along on the night as well, because anyone who's been to an event like this will tell you that it's hugely enjoyable, a lot of fun".
At a time when central funding from the Department of Education for schools continues to be cut, it is increasingly important for schools to fundraise directly.
Ms O'Mahony-Kennedy said that as the school reaches its 20th birthday, a number of repair works and extension projects have come to light. Likewise, the school is anxious to ensure that subjects with small class sizes, such as physics, chemistry and some languages, can be preserved.
"Our school is open 20 yeas, and in the past few years there are some small repairs that have only started coming to light in the past couple of years.
"But the biggest thing for us by far is to protect the subjects we offer all across the curriculum", Ms O'Mahony-Kennedy said.
The 'who wants to be a thousandaire' event takes place at the Courtenay Lodge Hotel on November 15, and tickets are currently on sale at €15.

The Girvan Community Garden has a greener future thanks to a windfarm fund award.
An award from the first round of the Girvan and District Assel Valley Community Fund of £4,800 will support a community engagement role for current staff to promote horticultural, recycling and upcycling initiatives within the garden.
In addition, they will engage visitors in a consultation on how they would like to see the garden develop over the next five years.
Garden director Audrey Riddell said; "Thanks to the award we are now able to facilitate the opening hours of Girvan Community Garden to locals and visitors at prime times. This funding will allow us to employ staff to engage with visitors and conduct a survey of their views and opinions."
Ken Johnstone, Panel Chair said; "It is great that we can now help support a wide range of clubs and initiatives in the town like the community garden, and I would encourage any group with a good idea to get involved and bid for funds in the future. Let's make Girvan and District second to none."
The Girvan and District Assel Valley Community Fund was launched earlier this year to support a wide range of projects and activities. The fund is provided by Falck Renewables.
Erin Hunter of Falck Renewables said; "We're delighted to see the funds from the wind farm being used for projects such as this which benefits local people and visitors."
In total eight groups received an award in the first round including; Girvan and District Darts League; South Carrick Community Centre; Girvan Traditional Folk Festival; Girvan Youth Trust; Girvan Amateur Swimming Club; Girvan and District Entertainment and Attractions and Girvan and South Carrick Community Action Network.

I am having troubles login in the fiddle. Some time out?
Same here... along with Fiddle, the Support page keeps looping, eventually saying my session has gone stale. It's good to note that if I use a private browser session, I can get into Fiddle, but if I try to log in, it spins... something is wrong with the auth call.
Me as well. Trying to log in at support.sencha.com also hangs on "retrieving tokens".
Update - I was just able to successfully login.
Same here, seems to be back.
Support portal and fiddle use the same server to handle login so if one goes down, they both will. It seems Sencha has been having database related issues as queries seem to have been getting stuck causing a dam of stuck queries not allowing new queries to run.
