Windstorm Arahu Be So Lucky
b. 08-23-2018
Faust is our first Saluki and is a pure joy to live with! Bred by and co-owned with Randy & Starr White (Windstorm Salukis), we are thrilled with our newest member of the pack and foresee a long future in this breed. Faust instantly found himself a place among the giants and fits right in at Arahu. At just over a year, he is well on his way to his CKC Championship and is pointed in the field as well. Always a people lover, Faust has won the hearts of everyone he has met. This mulit-facted, robust young hound shows promise of a bright future ahead.

Follow Your Heart at Arahu
b. 12-04-2016
Salzburg is made of magic and joy!! It was not our original intention to keep a male out of Titi's litter but Salzburg was too wonderful to let go! This beautiful boy has captured our hearts. Always inquisitive, friendly, and happy he is a pure joy to be around. He loves people, going for rides, and rough housing with his little sister. Salz has already shown a keen interest on the coursing field and we look forward to taking him out into the show ring next spring!

Loves Great Adventure at Arahu
b. 12-04-2016
Lausanne was Titi's first-born and has always had something very special about her. We knew long before we evaluated the puppies at 9 weeks that she would be staying at Arahu. She is soft and sweet with us, but holds her own in running and wrestling with her much bigger brother! Laus has already shown a keen drive on the coursing field winning Best Puppy at the 2017 IWCC National Field Trial! We look forward to taking her out into the show ring next spring.

Arahu's Great Queen Hatshepsut
Hatshepsut was the 2nd born puppy in Brigid's litter, and by far the largest. Right from the start, she has established herself as a would-be leader, and taken what she wants from life without hesitation! Despite her "go get 'em" attitude, she is sweet, respectful, and is a joy to be around. She is shaping up to be a natural show-man, and we have high hopes that she will be a coursing hound too, like her FCH father!

The Heretic Queen of Arahu
aka "Titii"
Titi was Brigid's smallest whelp - under 1lb. She may be small in size, but her spirit is huge! Right from the beginning, she has been feisty, determined, and does not want for anything. She is personable, sweet, and very much like her grand-dam, Jadzia. Not so interested in showing, she is very keen to chase the bags at coursing! Always curious and affectionate, Titi is a pleasure to be around.
Titi is co-owned with Donna Tomson, Castlekeep Irish Wolfhounds.
Titi proved to be an excellent brood bitch, and is dam to Lausanne, Salzburg and Dessa.

Khufu is truly an athletetic hound! Tall and rangy, this boy LOVES to run! He adores racing and wrestling with his sisters,
Titi and Hatsh, and thoroughly enjoys being a country hound. Hanging outside with his dad is one of his favourite things to do.
Khufu is a sweet, and repsonsive boy, and very special to us.

We'll pay your personal budget straight to you so you can arrange the services you need
Direct payments can be made to parents of (or the adult who is legally responsible for) children up to the age of 25 with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), or direct to the young person if they're aged 16-25.
You can only use direct payments to pay for services that we provide. If you'd prefer to use services provided by someone else then your personal budget will need to be managed through either an organised arrangement or a third party arrangement.
We have to assess your child's or young person's SEND before we agree to make direct payments, in some cases there may be a better way to pay for services. Well explain your options when we do the assessment.
If your direct payment is going to be used to pay for services your child will get at school then we must have the school's agreement first.
The amount you receive is based on how much it should cost to pay for the right level of services that are named in your Education, Health & Care plan (EHCP).
This is different for everyone, so we can't give you an exact amount. Your personal budget should be enough to pay for what you need, if you find that it isn't we can review it.

@alan-agius4 Thanks a lot for angular/angular-cli#15453
Hopefully that's resolved one day. It's really ticking my nerves though :(
FreBaseComponentsModule which is a module from my angular Library. It complains about
in /Users/jed/Projects/Angular/angular-fre-base-components/dist/fre-base-components/fre-base-components.d.ts' but the file its only the typing exports, anyone got a clue about what could be causing this? I 've googled this but all the problems I've found were in different scenarios than mine.
How can i run
sed -i.compiler.bak 's/"packages\/\*\/src"/"dist\/packages\/\*"/' tsconfig.json in GNU bash but when i do
"scripts": {
"tsconfig:set": "sed -i.compiler.bak 's/\"packages\\/\\*\\/src\"/\"dist\\/packages\\/\\*\"/' tsconfig.json",
it throws an error
'sed' is not recognized as an internal or external command, can i execute some bash script from npm

Hi, I am currently working on a monorepository project with 6 libs inside /projects and one main application inside /src folder. When we want to develop something we need to start the library with
ng build library-name --watch and in another terminal
ng serve so when a change is made inside the library, the library will refresh and the main app will also refresh but we always need to save 3 or 4 times before the change are propagated to the main application. It's like the app refresh before the library and even after 2 refresh, it need more save to force another one refresh to see change in app.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this problem ? Thank you ( We also disabled AOT has it slowdown the compile)
which ng in your cmd prompt

By Kristin Kay Johnson
Christian Inspirational
As a Christian, I often find myself thinking these two things about my life: 1. I'm too insignificant to be helpful to God in His purpose and/or 2. I'm not good enough for God to use.
In Big Dreams, Scary Giants and Itty Bitty Grasshoppers (by Kristin Kay Johnson) I learned two even more important phrases: 1. I'm NOT too insignificant and 2. I AM good enough.
Kristin tells us all about her own struggles, trials and tribulations trying to fulfill her potential in God's kingdom. Some are tragic, some are sad and some are just too darn cute. Through it all she perseveres and realizes that God can use her and YOU AND ME! She tells us about her calling to spread this message and about her dream, The Shepherd's Haven Ranch. It's a very personal story about her relationship with God and how she came to realize that she is important in his kingdom–each of us is!
"I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people: Your sons will prophesy, also your daughters." Joel 2:28.
Kristin is one of God's daughters and she's prophesying God's good news, for her, for you and for me!
In her tale, I saw myself. Although her actual experiences were different than mine, I can relate to the spiritual struggles, doubts and fears. Because of this, her message resonated with me as much as it will for you.
This is an incredibly inspirational and energizing book! After reading it, I couldn't help but rethink some of my own dropped or broken dreams and get started afresh on making them come true with God's help to further His kingdom and my purpose!
If you're looking for a touching personal story and a great message to go with it, this is the book you need to read. Kristin wrote it just for you!

How you are going to break out of your own prison created by fear, doubt, being negative and procrastination is up to you to brake out of by taking one small step at a positive time.
Most of us spend our lives wishing our life away. Dreaming, wishing whatever is easy but doing is a problem as we have to physically work at it. Life has much to offer. It is your life. It is your choice. It is up to you what direction you go. Easy is negative while positive is harder as you have to physically work at it. That terrible word "WORK."
That's it, You have to WORK at getting out of your life in prison. Inspiration is one fertilizer to boost your future. Life offers many directions to choose, again which way. Over 75% of the World population do not try to work any more than they are forced too by crying in their spilled milk, why me, poor me. Give me, give me. Those that go places give and take at a fair price.
What is mind over matter?
If the mind has no control over a negative body then It only just existing while dying gradually. Life is what you make it, so your choice again. There is no easy way to have a full quality life so put your mind and body to work as a team. The effort will create a satisfaction to help bring enjoyment and celebration for a job well done and not be the misery of life. The effort will give a reward, an experience and bring enjoyment to life with the company of equal life values. The experience will fertilize the value and lengthen your life.
With moderation YOUR GOALS start with easy achievements which evolve gradually in bigger and better life styles. Your family, friendships etc., become your team of life. The size of your life's team brings stronger quality to life. Your expectations in life are your to set not others in the negative but to copy and follow the positives then out grow to your satisfaction. Your life, your choice as it will impact on your love ones and team. The negatives will always be complaining and worse off than you as you grow in the positive, active, opposite chosen direction.
Many people over the centenaries were called mad for having a vision and going for it. We know the mad ones names but not the negative ones calling them out. Success is always the flower grown from the seeds of failure. Fear is the soil we grow from when positive. Fertilize your mindset with positive vibes that you can control. Start small and grow big any ideas as you go along even if it means two steps forward and one back as it is always an improvement over the negatives. Making a difference in your life will dismiss doubt gradually as your accomplishments boost your moral and enthusiasm even higher.
Remember the song about the ram that took on the dam "oops there a million watts dam." When you start with a trickle expansion is inevitable to become flood. Starting small always leads to expansion of bigger things even when not thought of at the start thus creating happiness and pleasure of success which leads to a longer life for those involved. All will feel taller, stronger and will encourage all coming into contact to be positive with their future. Remember everything in moderation be it sleep work or play. Include the right food, drink and exercise. Remember also it is all in moderation especially be it wealth and health as one is no good without the other. Procrastination is only for the lazy negatives relying on their weakness while the positives are dwelling on their success.
"So put yourself on the line and be the master of your time." Tom Short
for your time, Tom Short.
Hi Tom – some great sentiments there, and hugely practical. I firmly believe that we create our own situations by our thinking and actions. As you say, balance is also crucial to what we are and what we do.
I read somewhere that our thoughts are the hidden enemy. Sayings like 'If you think you can, or think you can't do something, you're right' are very true.

Another day, another drawing.
Maybe I can make a habit of this?
So… Bill Murray has been in my top 3 for favourite actors since I began appreciating things like that.
(Via What About Bob & Groundhog Day)
He's one of those guys who, I bet in real life, is hilarious and can't really even help it.
Here's a sad fact: I haven't seen Moonrise Kingdom yet, and I really want to.
So feel sorry for me.
Without further ado,
Here is my doodle.
If you haven't seen Zombieland, he has a really great part in that movie too!
Short-lived, but great nonetheless.
I'm boring and tired right now.
But comment if you feel like it!
I will read it on the morrow and be filled with mirth.
Good night!

How To Hack a Hangover
Drink water between drinks.
Although you may want to keep pounding back beers, a glass of water between each drink will prolong your night and spare you great misery in the morning.
Avoid caffeinated beverages.
Caffeine dehydrates your body. Alcohol dehydrates your body. Mix the two together and you get… very dehydrated. If you manage to avoid a heart attack after consuming a Jägerbomb or two, don't be surprised when you wake up with throbbing headache. I suggest you avoid these drinks at all costs.
Drink Gatorade.
Gatorade, the drink of gods. Not only does it taste great, it also restores your body's fluids and electrolytes. When you get home from that epic beer pong tournament, slam back 500mL of delicious Cool Blue. Have several other bottles on hand for the next morning. If you're a true-life hacker you will use Gatorade as chase or mixer.
Eat McDonalds.
Hangover McDonalds is the best kind of McDonalds (a close second is drunk McDonalds, but if you're reading this you probably already know that). Do your absolute best to wake up before they stop serving those delicious breakfast sandwiches. Ignore your queasy stomach; what it really wants is the greasiest-most-carbtastic meal on the menu. Just trust me on this one, it really does work.
Take you vitamins.
After poisoning your body, it's important to replenish your body's nutrient stores. Vitamin B12 deficiency leads grogginess and exhaustion the following morning. Although a dedicated B12 vitamin is best, don't hesitate to take a Flinstones multivitamin if it's all you have on hand.
Disclaimer: None of the following tips have been scientifically proven. However, they are based on common sense.

Many people think that "sexual objectification" and "sexy" and "sexual" are all the same thing.
They're not.
Here's a quick primer: Read the rest of this entry
Keep Your Boobs, Get Better Guys
If I had I been more spiritually evolved, or more grounded at 22 when I got breast implants, I never would have gotten them. Yes I got lots of attention, sexual attention. And for awhile I enjoyed it. But as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. It became apparent that the attention I received was not from quality people… Why did I mutilate my body to appease the tastes of SOME men? We were all duped by the media, the medical profession, our low self-esteem. I am now ready to have these D cups removed.
Why Do Women Prioritize Men's Pleasure?
A lot of women prioritize men's pleasure over their own.
Instead of focusing on her own pleasure a woman may worry about whether she's attractive enough. Or she may agree to do things she doesn't like. Or she may give him a blowjob in his dorm room, or the backseat of his car, without expecting anything in return.
But why is that? Read the rest of this entry
Trump: It's Only Words
Trump insults women and others but his actions are to the contrary. He hires women on an equal basis, like his daughter Ivanka and his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway. He's more bark than bite.
That's from one of my readers. Read the rest of this entry
A Sex Object Not Enjoying Sex
It's not unusual these days for a young woman to become preoccupied with how attractive she looks, habitually seeing herself through her partner's eyes, and judging herself based on what she thinks he thinks. In other words, to self-objectify.
Instead of enjoying sex.
I've talked with friends about the phenomenon and a couple of them have opened up and told me their stories. Like "Sophie," who let me relate her story in my blog. Read the rest of this entry
Men's Pleasure Is More Important?
Many young women are now engaging in sex acts with men that prioritize the man's pleasure, with little or no expectation of reciprocity.
So says cultural theorist Jackson Katz.
Sounds about right.
These young women are focused on how they look and what they do — and how their guys feel about how they look and what they do. Read the rest of this entry
If Sports Were Covered Like Women's Beach Volleyball
In honor of the Summer Olympics, and because I'm out of town, I'm rerunning this: Interesting contrast between photos of men's and women's beach volleyball. For men you find tough, competitive guys:
And for women: Read the rest of this entry
Who Has a Higher Sex Drive?
While some women want more sex than their partners, generally the pattern goes the other way.
Researchers at Indiana University say, Read the rest of this entry
Am I "Doing It" Right?
HBO's "Girls" is an exploration of young women's sexuality today, so I was struck by a scene that the New York Times' Frank Bruni described as being all about what "he" wants "her" to do:
("Hannah's") back is to her boyfriend, who seems to regard her as an inconveniently loquacious halfway point between partner and prop, and her concern is whether she's correctly following instructions.
'So I can just stay like this for a little while?' she asks. 'Do you need me to move more?'
Sexy Men Can Seem Gay
Imagine men in Speedos plastered all over billboards, drawing your attention to this product or that.
Sexy? Or does it seem kind of gay?
A lot of women think it seems kind of gay. But why is that? Read the rest of this entry

In 2008, Wattenburg Field was ranked by EIA as the 13th largest oil field in the size of proven oil reserves and Rangely was ranked 71st. This is a big deal because there are more than 32,000 oil fields in the United States.

Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Dear Carolyn:
My wife is an avid reader and enjoys a lot of different types of books. Among them are series usually geared toward teenagers, like "The Hunger Games" or "Twilight." Before the premiere of the latest movie, she rereads the series and then goes to the midnight showing with a group of girlfriends.
I am not talking about teenagers here, or even people in their 20s. We are in our 30s and both professionals. I think my wife's interest in these books and movies is juvenile, and I don't really understand it. I feel mildly embarrassed that she can talk (in detail!) to my nieces about these books at holiday gatherings.
My wife thinks that her reading selection is her business only and that these books provide a nice relief from everyday problems. I can see her point, but on the other hand, I'm not sure why she can't get the same thing from adult literature. Who is the odd one here, me or my wife?
There's no odd, there's just snobby with a chance of insecure. Why do you care so much about what she reads?
Specifically, what are you trying to prove to others by having her appear too smart or sophisticated to enjoy the occasional "YA" potboiler — and why do you feel the need to prove this urgently enough that you're "embarrassed" when she goes public with her down-market tastes?
Not that it would change the answer if she were otherwise, but, cheez — she's an avid reader and likes all kinds of things, which means the lights are surely on for all to see. Plus, she's taking in information from a wide range of sources and (allow me to project a bit from her talks with your nieces) using it to relate better to people beyond her group of peers. How does that not make her awesome, and how would a strict diet of adult literature improve her?
I'm also wondering — now that I've surely discredited myself by using "cheez" and "awesome" — what the difference would be if she and her friends escaped to "The Great Gatsby"? Would they leave the theater more "professional"?
Let's talk about you again for a moment. Unless you're on to some secret formula, your life is headed where all lives are that aren't cut short: into terrain where your faculties gradually diminish but the challenges life throws at you remain more or less constant. The people at your side throughout may well decide how these years turn out for you, for obvious reasons. They can sympathize or patronize, help or harm, support you or let you drift.
Does it make sense — for you — to spend any time picking one of those people apart? To snip-snip at her literary preferences, or any other superficial trait of hers, just because you don't fully understand it or value it?
Speaking only for myself here: I envision my future as one where I will have to depend on my loved ones more, and therefore count on their patience, forgiveness and good sportsmanship more. (Who am I kidding, I envision my present that way.) I don't see that going well if I haven't given them those exact gifts myself. Do you?

Sales growth? Yes, the PC business is going to be strong — but only if you know where to look.
Don't look to generic desktops, notebooks or tablets. Unit shipments of these PC categories are expected to decline over the next 4 years. But within those broad categories, several sub-categories are expected to grow. That's where tech providers looking for growth should thrive.
But first, a bit of context. IDC today issued its latest snapshot of the global PC business. The market watcher is predicting that worldwide PC unit shipments will decline by nearly 4% this year. And that this market contraction will continue through 2022 at an annual rate of -1.8%.
That works out to PC shipments worldwide shrinking from 407 million units this year to 378.3 million in 2022. Further, IDC expects to see shipment declines in nearly every PC category, including desktops, notebooks and slate tablets.
So where's the strength?
Mainly, within 3 PC subcategories: gaming systems, business-PC upgrades, and high-end notebooks.
Oh, and in a fourth: what IDC calls "detachable tablets." These are 2-in-1 devices such as the Microsoft Surface and Lenovo Yoga.
Microsoft Surface Book 2: poised for growth?
Shipments of detachable tablets worldwide will rise from 20.7 million units this year to 28 million units in 2022, IDC predicts. That would mark a compound annual growth rate of nearly 8%.
At the same time, detachables will make up a larger share of the total PC market. This year, IDC estimates, detachables will account for about 5% of all PC unit shipments worldwide. By 2022, that should rise to over 7%.
Win10: winning in Europe
Another likely area of growth: mid-market PCs running Windows 10. Microsoft has said it will end support for Windows 7 in Jan. 2020. That means next year will be the last chance for the owners of the many millions of PCs that still run the older OS.
That's the story in Western Europe, where IDC now expects PC unit shipments to drop by 3.3% in the fourth quarter, and drop by 3.0% for the full year.
But the market watcher also expects growth from 3 Win10-based form factors:
> All-in-one PCs: Shipments should rise annually by 2.4%, increasing from 1.7 million units this year to 1.9 million by 2022.
> Convertibles: Nearly 10% annual growth is predicted, rising from 3.4 million units this year to 4.9 million in 2022.
> Ultra-slim notebooks: They should see nearly 5% annual growth, from 12.9 million units this year to 15.6 million in 2022
Next year could be a great year for your PC sales — but only if you know where to look. Now you do.

When Alice first arrived in Oz, she was amazed at the vibrant colors which enveloped her. Beihai Park can have a similar effect on people (particularly Beijingers), where the enveloping foliage of trees is so lush that it's difficult to connect them with the dry grey streets beyond.
Beihai is an ideal spot to while away a lazy morning or afternoon. The park itself recommends taking a full four hours to explore it, and it wouldn't be hard to spend longer.
The central focus is the white Tibetan stupa, one of Beijing's points of reference. To get there from the front gate, you first have to pass through the halls of Yong An Temple, and ascend a long staircase hemmed in by tall bamboos.
An additional 3 yuan ticket will get you close to the stupa itself. Hidden inside are some monk's ashes and scriptures. Which is nice enough, but there's not much to do here. Luckily up there at this high point of the park, you also gain access to the best views of Beihai.
The surrounding park area spreads out below, covering 69 hectares. The large size usually (but not always) provides enough room to space out the crowds. People stroll along the perimeter of the lake taking in the singers and dancers.
Just walking in Beihai is pleasant enough for the day, but there definitely are some sights worth visiting up towards the northern and eastern areas. One highlight is the Nine Dragon Wall which was made in the 15th century. Using glazed tiles of surprising depth, each side portrays nine cavorting dragons, which technically makes a total of 18 dragons.
Just to the south of Nine Dragon Wall, the Five Dragon Pavilions from the Ming Dynasty connect with each other via zigzagging bridges. They look out over the rental boats buzzing around the lake, and are often filled with competing musical performances.
Beihai is home to several notable temples, and Xiao Xi Tian is particularly unique. One of China's largest square style pavilions, the Qing Dynasty structure houses an enormous clay sculpture of Putao Mountain, perched upon by over a hundred Buddhists.
Although adjacent Jingshan Park may occupy the center of the city, Beihai Park suffers no pangs of jealousy. Beihai has a couple hundred years more history on Jingshan. That's a couple hundred more years to chill out and relax. Beihai has the space to breathe, and the wisdom to do so slowly.
Travel Tips:
Location: 1 Wenjin Street, just northwest of the Forbidden City.
Admission: 20 yuan, including temples; 10 yuan, just for park entrance.
Opening hours: 6:00 – 22:00 in peak season; 6:30 – 20:00 in winter.

3 cups All Purpose unbleached flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon each of: baking soda and salt
One half teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
3/4 cup egg substitute
2 cups dark brown sugar
2/3 cup canola oil
2 cups of cooked yam
One tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 or 2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
One or two cups of raisins or dates
Grease and flour two 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch loaf pans or the pans of your choice. I sprayed Baker's Joy and they came out really great.
I mixed the thick batter with my KitchenAid mixer and then I poured the batter into the prepared pans and I baked mine only 20 minutes and 350 degrees in my Cuisinart convection oven.
If you're using a conventional oven, you'll want to bake the loaves about 50 to 60 minutes at 325 degrees, or until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Afterwards, cool about 5 minutes, then just remove them from the pans and cool and wrap with either airtight Ziplock bags or aluminum foil.
Note: You can also vary the yam puree with pumpkin, sweet potatoes or banana or even or mashed cooked carrots.
Don't let the homely yam fool ya. It cooks up a beautiful orange puree in the microwave and the skin peels off easily.
You can also substitute pumpkin puree for the yams too, for a different flavor.

Best of the Year: Much Digital Studios The 30-year-old music channel pulled off Playback's Digital Play of the Year in 2015, launching an MCN to incubate talent and find new fans.
Excerpt of an Article from Playback about the MCN launched by MuchMusic/BellMedia which we consulted on:
Remember when Much Music's street-level window was cutting edge?
Its innovative straight-to-fan format tore down traditional barriers and helped Much grow to prominence among two generations of youth. But in the last decade, as social media tore down those barriers too, Much has struggled to find its place.
In 2015, however, Much opened a new window, this time online and called Much Digital Studios. And instead of VJs, DIY content creators are the stars.
With genre exclusivity now a thing of the past and viewing habits changing quickly, the linear channel has gone digital in a big way, opening the doors to its multi-channel network (MCN) this past April. It has since signed 37 Canadian digital creators who collectively pull in approximately 3.1 million subscribers (as of Nov. 4, 2015). Its aim is to increase that list to 100 creators in total. (For comparison, the top 10 MCNs globally have over 280,000 creators collectively.).....

Tillandsia clavigera
Verzamel locatie: Ecuador, Azuay Province - The first two pictures are NOT from Azuay Province, but was seen on our June 2015 trip. I do not have a locale for this. The remainder of the pictures are from Azuay Province on a side road west from Portete at an elevation of 3067 meters. The first plant is definitely Tillandsia clavigera (Jose Manzanares, Eric and I were together when we saw it). The other plant is believed to be T. clavigera, but I would like confirmation.

text: Although it seems simple, the concept of opposites can be difficult for very young children to grasp. Alda's attractive photographs won't necessarily be a big help, featuring subjects as disparate as a palm tree on the beach and a stone Buddha being transported through the streets of New York. Most only carry a single-word description. Particularly for abstract ideas like "above" and "below," the connection between pictures (in this case of one tree's branches and a different tree's roots) and words may be fuzzy at best. This doesn't mean, however, that the book doesn't work—it just doesn't do what readers expect. It opens a world of possibilities for observation and conversation. Young listeners will be intrigued both by the unusual objects pictured on some pages and by the photographer's creative view of more familiar items. Berries are sweet and juicy, yes, but soft? Of course they are, particularly when compared to pumpkins and squashes, but it's still a novel way of seeing them, one that offers children (and adults) an enchanting new perspective.

Cycling in Milwaukee
Milwaukee is the largest city in the state of Wisconsin and the fifth-largest city in the Midwestern United States. It's a great destination for getting about by bike, with much to offer by way of two wheeled transport. Whether you're a sightseeing tourist keen for a leisurely afternoon jaunt to the next beer garden, or keen for some off-road adventures, you'll love spending time on a bike here.
Bring your own wheels or rent a bike from one of 28 downtown Bublr Bike bikeshare kiosks. Milwaukee's bike-share program has been growing leaps and bounds since it first came on the scene in 2014.
Milwaukee city buses are also equipped with bike-racks so you can mix and match some riding with public transport. This makes bike riding super easy and do-able, even if it starts to rain!
Milwaukee is also home to many unique cycling events and races, including the Fat Tire Tour, the Downer Classic, East Tosa Gran Prix and the UPAF Ride for the Arts. Milwaukee is also lucky to have some great local cycling clubs, which provide a support system for those who like to get around on two wheels. Scroll down for further info.

The kids and I bought BeAGoodMom a bike for Mother's Day. She's been putting off buying one for a couple years despite talking about how much she wants one. I figured out that it must be some kind of subtle hint for me to buy her one.
On Monday, BeAGoodMom and I hatched a big plan to make all of this happen. We were all going to walk to Meijer (technically Giggles was freeloading in the stroller). BeAGoodMom would pick out her bike and we would all walk home with BeAGoodMom doing some riding and some walking and some taunting us for moving so slowly.
Geetle asked if she could ride her bike to the store and the plan changed to having the kids ride to the store and ride home with me pushing Giggles back and forth.
Then, we decided that it was time the kids got larger bikes and we would walk to the store, buy 3 bikes, they could all ride home, and I'm still stuck pushing Giggles.
So, off we go.
BeAGoodMom tested her bike in the halls of Meijer and found on she liked. The big kids wandered through the toy aisles while we picked out bikes for them.
Here's where things started going wrong. The kids need 20″ bikes now. 20″ bikes come without training wheels. My kids are 6 and still need training wheels. We bought two Huffy bikes and picked up two of the only training wheels they sell (Schwinn's ones that say fits most bikes 16″ – 20″).
I added a couple cheap wrenches to the cart so I could install the training wheels in the parking lot.
While I was trying to steer the two small bikes to the register, Pookie climbed onto his seat and started pedaling. We ended up crashing into a sunglasses display which encouraged the very nice Meijer employee to help us get our traveling circus to the front of the store.
After dorking with the wheels for a while, I realized that I would also need a screwdriver to take off the little plastic piece that covers the chain so that you don't get your shoe lace caught in the chain (I would have killed for one of those back in the day when I was riding uphill both ways in the snow being chased by polar bears) and that I was pretty sure that the training wheels were not going to work anyway.
So now we are stuck with $300+ of bikes and bike accessories and 3 very hungry and bored kids in the parking lot of Meijer.
BeAGoodMom volunteers to ride her bike home and come back in the minivan to pick us up. The three kids waited remarkably well but were happy when the minivan arrived. After loading the two kid bikes we realized there would only be room for 3 people in the car. 1 driver and 2 big kids in the way back seat.
So, BeAGoodMom drove the bikes and the big kids home.
I ended up walking home with Giggles. Which was really the plan all along anyway.

Even though emergency medical service providers in Mississippi are concerned that only half of all Medicare claims have been paid lately, medical leaders are not resting on their laurels.
"We have taken steps to reverse the denial rate trend, but nothing has changed," said Steve Delahousey, director of operations for the Gulf Coast region of American Medical Response, the nation's largest emergency medical service provider, with 17,000 vehicles in 38 states. Delahousey, a registered nurse and registered paramedic, is the longest-serving member on the governor-appointed Emergency Medical Services Advisory Council, and is on the reimbursement committee for Mississippians for Emergency Medical Services (MEMS). "The carrier has the flexibility and the authority to reopen cases in appeals and admit they made a mistake in denying the claims. But instead, the situation has gotten increasingly worse."
On March 3, in a statement prepared by Nancy-Ann Min Deparle, administrator for the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), before the bipartisan congressional health care task force, emergency services were defined from a "prudent layperson" perspective.
The statement read, "Medicare … organizations are required to pay for emergency services without regard to prior authorization or whether the provider has a contractual relationship with the plan."
Excerpts from the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 referred to the prudent layperson standard definition of an emergency medical condition as follows: "the term 'emergency medical condition' means a medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity such that a prudent layperson, who possesses an average knowledge of health and medicine, could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in placing the health of the individual in serious jeopardy, serious impairment to bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part."
"We were, at first, encouraged by the BBA from a national perspective because we recognized the need for changes in health care reform," Delahousey said. "We reviewed the BBA carefully prior to its implementation and thought the ambulance industry was going to fare OK even though we knew we were going to have to modify the way we did some things."
Even though the state department of health doesn't regulate Medicare, Delahousey presented the issue to the state health board last December and urged members to get involved.
"The state health department is concerned with public health in Mississippi," he said. "The fact that at least 18 counties have seen a reduction in services – and that 80% of all ambulance transports in Mississippi have indicated problems with emergency claims denied by Medicare – makes it an issue for them to consider."
In a letter dated May 5, Dr. Ed Thompson, Mississippi's state health officer, wrote United Health Care's director, John Cook, about the impact of Medicare ambulance claim denials.
"The Mississippi State Board of Health recently voted unanimously to file an intent to adopt into existing emergency medical services regulations the 'prudent layperson' definition developed by HCFA," he wrote. "I encourage you to consider this action in future reviews of claims filed by ambulance providers on behalf of all Medicare patients."
In a May 13 meeting in Washington, D.C. arranged by Ilene Gordon, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott's (R-Miss) staff representative in Jackson, between HCFA officials, including Nancy Edwards, deputy administrator of HCFA, and MEMS members, Beverly Courtney, MEMS president-elect and representative of AAA Ambulance, told HCFA attendees that the reimbursement situation in Mississippi had reached a critical point.
"In the past two years, there has been a significant increase in the number of Medicare Part B ambulance claims being denied by the carrier, United Health Care," she said. "Many of these denials are for emergency calls. Pre-hospital EMS is being adversely affected because many ambulance services have had to reduce services or shut down completely in some counties. The providers have followed the appropriate channels in an attempt to resolve this issue with the carrier and the HCFA Regional IV office in Atlanta. The results have been unsatisfactory."
Since 1995, AMR in Mississippi, the state's largest ambulance provider, has seen a 1,466% increase in the number of ambulance claims denied by Medicare. In 1999, 86% of all emergency claims were overturned at the administrative law judge (ALJ) level, he said.
In a follow-up letter dated May 20, MEMS representatives asked HCFA officials for clarification of 12 items, which included the question of whether or not the carrier must look at appeals results to review their policies and procedures, Delahousey said.
"In September, HCFA wrote back and said absolutely, the carrier has to use that data to formulate future policies and practices," he said. "Interestingly enough, on the same date of that letter but before we knew about the letter's existence, we met with the carrier in Jackson to resolve our problems and we asked them the same question – do they look at the administrative law judge rulings to formulate future policies? They answered no, they do not. Obviously, there was miscommunication. To the best of our knowledge, the carrier still does not look at that and offers no explanation for their decisions."
U.S. Congressmen Ronnie Shows, Gene Taylor and Bennie Thompson have provided assistance in opening communication lines to HCFA and Congress, Delahousey said.
"Because of the BBA, hospitals and home health agencies are shutting down or reducing services," he said. "It doesn't mean we have fewer sick people in Mississippi. If anything, we have more. They turn to ambulance services to get them where they need to go. They can't rely on home care, because those services are being diminished. Many rural hospitals are being shut down, so ambulances are being asked to drive further distances to get to hospitals that are able to stay afloat. Now the ambulance services aren't getting paid for a lot of those transports."
Calls to John Cook of United Health Care in Jackson were not returned for this story.

Preparing For the End Times
OOOOooooohmygod, grrrrrr... who? Wha? Huh? Where's my coffee ferkrissake....?!?!
Still recovering from last night's Genuine Bash and although I have no regrets (quite the opposite), I have battle wounds.
This afternoon I watched some show about the Book of Revelations on the History Channel and of course they feature Tim LaHaye and his "Left Behind" series. According to LaHaye, the pieces are supposedly all in place for the second coming or the rapture or Armageddon or whatever and we all need to get ready and do whatever it is we're supposed to do so that when the big rumble comes so we're not looking at an empty space where our holier-than-thou friend was previously sitting and left wondering how the hell they did that and hadn't they said they were paying for lunch, anyway?
All the signs are in place, folks. Just like they were, oh, twenty years ago and oh yeah, twenty years before that and twenty years before that and on and on and on and every twenty years or so, all the way back until that night when St. John the Divine went to bed after eating some bad Gefilte fish and had hellish dreams. Had St. John taken some Alka-Seltzer® we might have been spared all this hooey but now we have to hear every nitwit hick with a modicum of bible learnin' bloviate on how now is the time when it all ends, doo-dah.
To the credit of the History Channel piece (which seemed to minimize shilling for evangelicals despite the popularity of that sport these days), they did mention several times that, well, these predictions have been ongoing for about 2,000 years. Of course, what comes to mind is the boy calling wolf and one would think folks might have caught on by now. Except, these are the same people who believe everything there is was cooked up about 5,000 years ago in less than a week's time, every animal on earth was collected onto a ship the size of a neighborhood Jiffy Lube, and that a zygote carries the same rights as a human. So it's probably not much of a stretch to imagine they're going to get bit every twenty years by what's essentially, "made you look!"
My own end times is fast approaching as I ready my humble abode for the return of the wee ones. Get some laundry done (and get it put away), re-hide daddy's candy stash, re-file this past weekend's stack of CDs. Daddy knows how to be proactive when dealing with empirically verifiable disasters. I just can't be bothered by bad dreams.
Less than a week left to get in on the Mixmania! fun so let me know if you want to add a mix to the mix (and please email me your postal address). I don't think my beastly behavior at last night's Genuine Bash gained any converts but we've got over 20 players now, so it should be interesting.
On a sad note, I found out about the demise of one of my favorite blogs, Candygenius (although she promises/threatens to be back soon). Cindy has been one of the funniest and formidable foes of comment-spammers and she will be sorely missed. She was also one of my first fans and I owe her a mountain of gratitude.

Wow... I guess I left before the bash got really good? With you and Genuine being wounded? LOL!
Have a good day!

the end is near... jim, hurry! hurry! Sooooo much to do and so little time.
- Hank said...
The best bumper sticker I've ever seen (stuck onto the back of incredibly rusty Subaru): Come the Rapture can I have your car?
My current hypothesis is that the Rapture has already occurred, but nobody got called up to heaven because God is in a really crappy mood.
- seeingdouble said...
Why bother with laundry and such? THE END IS NEAR!! Repent! Or, blog and do chores, it's almost as good as a few Hail Marys and Our Fathers. Ok, if I wasn't going to hell before, I've probably just sealed the deal. Bah....

The rapture happened during the bash....shit we missed it.
- Busy Mom said...
I wondered what was going on with Cindy. I'll miss her!


text: Donate Now Press Room Home - Previous Post | Next Post Paralegal Association of Wisconsin-Madison Chapter Explore the Ethics of the Legal Profession Posted on Apr 24, 2015 10:40am PDT (Madison, WI) – On Monday April 13 the Paralegal Association of Wisconsin (PAW)—Madison chapter heard from IGE president and CEO, Anthony J. Gray, when he presented an hour-long talk titled "Ethical Fitness® for Legal Professionals." During his talk they explored a framework of ethical principles that, when properly applied, can guide legal professionals through proven steps for analyzing and resolving the toughest ethical dilemmas. An important role of the Paralegal Association of Wisconsin (PAW) is to expand professional knowledge and provide a forum for the discussion of subjects relating to legal matters. This event promised to accomplish just that. Gray's talk was presented as part of the April 2015 meeting of the Association's Madison chapter. "Attorney Gray's presentation truly expanded our view on ethics and what it means to be faced with an ethical dilemma," said Tonya Petrick, Madison Chapter director for PAW. "I love that the skill set taught by the Institute for Global Ethics can be applied to any professional or personal situation. I only wish we'd had more time to practice using the tools and techniques provided to us." Gray has presented similar talks to the State Bar of Wisconsin Health Labor & Employment Law Institute, as well as the 2015 Western States Bar Conference in Hawaii. "Legal professionals come across genuine ethical dilemmas with much greater frequency than many other professions," says Gray. "IGE's methodology is designed to provide guidance on getting to the core of a dilemma, parsing between core and non-core elements, and seeing it through to its resolution." The event was held on Monday, April 13 th at the offices of Godfrey & Kahn, located at One East Main Street #500 in Madison, WI. Mr. Gray's 45-minute presentation was followed by a 15 minute period of Q&A. About IGE: Founded in 1990 with offices in New York City, Camden, Maine and headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin the Institute for Global Ethics in is an independent, nonsectarian, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is dedicated to promoting ethical action in a global context ( www.globalethics.org).

What can I say, I love photographing my clients in the city (NYC of course). From being the middle of the concrete jungle you can step into Central Park and totally transform your surrounding. Well, New York city + very stylish clients and we have a fabulous NYC Grand Central Central Park engagement photo session.
We started the engagement photo session at the Grand Central Station. In the middle of all the trains coming in and out and thousands of commuters rushing through the Main concourse, the Vanderbilt Hall and the north balcony are my favorite spots to photograph my couples. The soon-to-be-bride in her stunning Karla Drama Dress by Nha Khanh with the nickel and gold-plated Beaux Arts Chandeliers as the backdrop, hello glamour ! After that we did part of the engagement photos in the Main Concourse (surrounded by paparazzi / tourist) and then on to Park Ave.
They changed into chic casual looks and off to the rest of session – Central Park engagement photo. A cool early spring evening, we walked under one of the bridges to the Bethesda Terrace and fountain area. The lower passage under the Terrace drive is just magnificent with all the Minton encaustic tiles. A quick set of photos there and then wrap up the NYC engagement session at the Central Park Mall referred to as an "open air hall of reception".
Here are some of the highlights from this amazing engagement session. Hope you all love them ~

FINALLY…warmer temps and sunshine have made it to Pennsylvania, kind of, if you don't count all this rain. This quick and easy vinaigrette is a tangy and delicious way to welcome Spring and Summer salads and brighten those sunless days. This week's leafy green of choice is dandelion! I'll also serve the same dressing on a romaine salad and grilled pork chops. Light, fresh, and tangy!
- zest from 1 lemon
- juice from 1 lemon
- 1 cup light oil (e.g., canola, flax seed, avocado)
- 3-4 minced garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Add all of the ingredients to a Mason jar. My personal recommendation for a must-have kitchen gadget is THIS cap. Screw it on and shake vigorously for a minute or three. Work those arms!
Use with salads, cooked vegetables, seafood, and meats or as a marinade. Refrigerate and consume within 1 week.
Buon Apetito!

Stephan Brusche
Banana art is the most a-peel-ing thing on the internet that you didn't even know you were missing out on. We certainly didn't, until we happened upon artist Stephan Brusche's seriously impressive work on Instagram. After we gazed at some of Brusche's drawings on banana peels, we have to say that we might not ever look at the fruit the same way again.
The Netherlands-based artist told Bored Panda that his work with banana art began a few years back when he first started using Instagram. "I was at work and I just wanted to post something," Brusche said. "I then noticed my banana and I figured it would make a nice post if I just drew a little happy face on it. I took a ballpoint pen and just started drawing. I was pretty amazed how pleasant a banana peel is to draw on." And ever since that moment, he's been hooked on the unique artwork, much to the delight of his followers.
Brusche has created a wide variety of banana art, including cartoon characters and popular Hollywood legends such as Marilyn Monroe.
He has also designed banana art for new seasons, holidays, and birthday celebrations for people.
But despite these magnificent and sometimes intricate pieces of artwork, Brusche hasn't forgotten how he got started. He still posts photos of happy (and not-so-happy) bananas with simple facial expressions that delight followers just as much as the more elaborate creations.
It's worth mentioning that bananas aren't the only fruit that Brusche has used as his canvas. He's also created art from kiwis and pears, and sometimes he even dabbles in doodling on other food groups such as vegetables and eggs.
That said, it's clear to anyone who gets a glimpse of Brusche's work that bananas are his specialty. Considering he has thousands of posts under his belt (not to mention thousands of followers), it doesn't seem like he's stopping anytime soon. But don't worry about the actual food going to waste — Brusche says he eats all his bananas after he's done with the art.
Looks like potassium isn't the only thing bananas are good for!

IME sweeps into Macmerry
Macmerry Industrial Estate lies only 12 miles east of Edinburgh city centre and IME has been appointed by the landlord of Hurricane Court to market a vacant unit on their behalf.
The property, a mid-terrace unit forming part of two individual buildings comprising 8 units in total, extends to approximately 1,938 sq ft. Contained within is a mixture of modern open plan office space with separate meeting/boardroom and a warehouse area benefitting from a 3-metre wide electric roller shutter door.
IME's managing director, Iain Mercer, says: "There is pent up demand from occupiers who can't find the industrial space they want either in Edinburgh or its close periphery. Tenants are having to look further afield and this unit at Macmerry offers the best of both worlds: a strategic location near to the A1/A720 city bypass and quality accommodation."
A rent of £13,600 per annum is being sought.
Further details are available in the listing section of our website

Excerpt from Round Glass Coffee Table :
Inexpensive, simple, and an enjoyable approach to display your creativity, a coffee table makeover is readily accomplished in a couple of hours and for a couple dollars. Coffee table is the ideal approach to transform a damaged, or only boring, tabletop. A great deal of folks utilize wood putty and such to correct gouges in the ground.

It's the accumulation of 5 years, the visions of 3 masterminds and a whole lot of passion and love for music. 'Give Me A Sound', the debut album of US trio Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren, has finally been released. We named this remarkable league of musicians our Artists of the Week, and ask them all about the journey that creating this wonderful piece of music has taken them on.
Hello guys and lady! Congrats on the release of your debut album! What's going on in your minds right now, now that it's out?
Matt:"Thanks so much! I am happy and relieved! At times, I didn't think we could do it, but we did. It's a great feeling!"
Shawn:"Thanks a lot, honestly it's all a bit surreal right now. It's hard to believe that after 5 years of work our album is finally out there, but I'm very excited for what's to come!"
Jaren:"Yeah, I'm with Matt and Shawn on this. Surreal!"
How has the musical journey of 'Give Me A Sound' been? Was it a hard one to tackle, or did the process of creating an album come natural?
Matt:"As you may have heard, it took a total of 5 years to put it together, so it wasn't an easy job. It was a very long and steep journey, but very knowledgeable. Coming up with the concepts of each song was quite easy, but finishing them the way we wanted was not! I am a perfectionist, so it needed to be done right. These days, a lot of albums have only a few good singles on it, and the rest are 'filler' songs; in this case, I needed each song to be the best, each one to have the potential of being a single."
Shawn:"I think it was definitely a bit harder than we expected, through the years we all three had different experiences in our lives and just pushing through those moments while trying to focus on music was a bit tough. In the end I really think the hardships made the music even stronger!"
Jaren:"We had our ups and downs. Like Shawn said, we went through a lot of transitions over that period of time with health issues, losing family members, gaining family members, etc. Matt and Shawn are perfectionists so we all needed to agree on the level of quality."
Five years after 'the song that goes like' ('Light The Skies'), the debut album is a fact. What's the biggest difference between the Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren of back then, and the group of today?
Matt:"I think we've all changed. In my case, I feel like I was an irresponsible boy back then, and I am a man now (haha!)– I have a child with Jaren now, I don't live in LA, but in Montreal, and I feel that I am wiser, on a lot of different levels in my life, socially, musically, and more."
Shawn:"I think we're all a lot more mature and savvy about the industry now, not only that the experience I gained as a producer working on this album has definitely raised the standard in my music and ours."
Jaren: "Yeah, I'd say maturity as artists."
It's no big surprise, given the previous releases, but it's still incredibly diverse. Does the album reflect the full spectrum of what Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren are about?
Matt:"It does to some exempt. I love all kinds of music, so we make all kinds. I am planning on making even more diverse music in the future."
Shawn:"I think it definitely shows that we're fans of music in general, when trance fans especially listen to this album I hope they can put aside the genres and take the music for what it is. I think the only style that wasn't show-cased on the album that I'm actually really into is hip-hop production!"
Jaren:"Hahaha! Yeah - and maybe opera. Although I did sing opera on a dance track a couple years back. It's not really CMJ's style, though."
One of the really different tracks on there, is 'Our Neighborhood', a track that fuses pop and rock. Are you guys trying to widen the horizon of EDM lovers, or is it mostly a showcase of what CM&J has in stores?
Matt:"This was an idea based on one of Jaren's topline. We didn't plan it this way, but we all agreed it would be nice not to have any electronic elements in it. Hopefully our fans appreciate it for what it is, but we are also expecting some dance remixes of it, so the ones who don't like it might, eventually!"
Jaren:"I think part of being an artist is evolving and being bold enough to try something new. At the end of the day we sort of realize life's too short not to express yourself the way you want to. Also we don't want to underestimate the open-mindedness of our audience."
'Give Me A Sound' features collabs with the likes of Audien, Rank 1, Dash Berlin and more. With 2 producers and a songwriter at the helm, isn't that more than enough? More opinions make it more difficult, or not?
Matt:"Some producers are harder to work with than others. We actually had to cancel a collab on the album because we couldn't agree with the producer. Other times we worked really harmoniously with some, and everyone was pleased with the results really quickly."
Shawn:"Just like anyone that listens to EDM we're all huge fans of the artists on our album. More than anything it was about working with artists that we not only respected and listened to but generally got along together with as friends. Working with the artists we did was just a natural progression from our friendships and similar styles! Honestly, the more opinions the better…I think the more ideas and directions you have the easier it is to choose the best!"
Jaren:"Plus, it's nice to bring in another collaborator so you don't get stuck in the same style. It's a great way to learn and grow as a songwriter."
So, as for the classic division of work on the album, who of you three did what? Or is everything, apart from the vocals, team effort?
Matt:"The work was divided differently over the years. I came up with quite a few musical ideas, some production, did a lot of vocal editing and effects, Jaren kept writing and singing, but Shawn really did a really big push in the production on numerous songs at the end."
Shawn:"As for my part in the album I mostly did production / sound design and some of the melodic content."
Jaren:"I have one role. Singer/songwriter. I am not to be trusted with anything related to production, hahaha!"
The latest single from the album, is the beautiful 'Witness', which was released with a very mysterious music video. Is there a particular story behind that one?
Matt:"I guess I came up with the concept of the witch/wizard, and the producer wrote the story board based on that idea. Shawn and I also wanted to be present in the video, but it wasn't part of the budget, so we had to find way to be in it, like the posters (Have you seen them?)"
Jaren, you've had a bit of a break from EDM in these past few years. Mainly to become a mom, but also to release your solo album, 'Fixin' it Upright'. Is it Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren all the way again, or will you still be working as a songwriter/vocalist for other projects?
Jaren: "Well, for a while there was a debate as to whether I would participate on Armin's last album, so I remained exclusive for a time and focused only on writing. About that time I found out I was pregnant and then decided to do venture into other territory as a vocalist, and that's how Fenja was born. Fenja is my housier alter ego. I have been told by just about everyone in the industry to stick to one genre of music and for the life of me I cannot, hahaha. I love it all! So yes, I spent some time trying to place my folk album. I'm working on a follow up to that, though a little more bluesy/bluegrassy, and I'm also working on an indie-dance/pop record. When I'm not doing that I'm co-writing with Seb LeFebvre from Simple Plan for other artists. Fun stuff!"
How about you, Matt and Shawn? Any plans that involve other projects or solo stuff going on?
Matt: I am currently working on solo stuff, and collabs with other people.
Shawn:"I'm most definitely working on new material for my solo career. I've already released a couple solo remixes just here recently and also have been working on some collabs with a couple up-and coming producers you may just know."
Right now, it's all about 'Give Me A Sound'! Got any shows planned with special live performances in these upcoming weeks?
Matt:"We a gig coming up in Vancouver in June, and a few other ones planned!"
Shawn:"Yes! We actually have a show June 23rd in Vancouver @ BLVD 22…other than that we're hoping to set up some mini tours all over the world!"
What about the next single? Which one have you picked?
Shawn:"The next single we chose was actually the duet with the ever talented Chris Jones called 'Starting Right Now'. We felt like this was a great choice because it's just a very uplifting, positive song and I think people need that in this world. We're all very excited to be shooting the music video very soon and with the preview of the Ost & Meyer Remix on ASOT I think this is going to be a huge release!"
