Visit the organ chest tour here or click the image below:
The pipe organ at Old St Mary's Church in Cincinnati was recently rebuilt and renovated. The original organ was contracted from the Austin Organ Company on July 12th 1929 and when installed was the 2nd largest organ in Cincinnati. This virtual tour explores the inner workings of the organ chest which houses the organ pipes. Some of the views include various chambers of the organ under reconstruction and without the new pipes installed. Other views include the new pipes installed. The tour opens with sounds from the whole organ and as you explore the various views you can experience the sound quality from the pipes in that particular view by clicking on the little keyboard icon. Be sure especially to click the little keyboard in the Pedal Organ view, those are fun! Old St Mary's is the oldest church in Cincinnati being dedicated on July 3rd, 1842. To see some more panorama views of Old St Mary's check out my previous post here.

Why choose luxury villas in Waterfall
Everybody dreams to buy a luxury house. The fact is, only a few can afford it. Even if you have the money to buy, sometimes, getting a good location becomes a problem. Of course, you can take help of estate agents to take that entire headache, but that does not free you from the responsibility to find an ideal place for family. So, how do detect a good property in Hoboken?
Hoboken is a small city in the Hudson County, New Jersey. It is an island surrounded by the Hudson River on the East and the tidal lands on the West. The city also has a close proximity to New York and the Jersey City. People looking for an easy commute to these places for work can easily do so. Luxury apartments in Hoboken, NJ can be a perfect match for your dream house. But, before looking out for the option remember to take care of these things.
- Location is the most important aspect of buying a house. If you can find a place that is closely located to parks, fitness centres, shopping areas, hospitals, school and other options of childcare and recreation, secure the deal.
2. Price is a major determinant when it comes to buying a house. There are many hidden factors that determine the price of any new construction in Hoboken. Ask you estate agent to find a good deal within your budget. Do not settle for low quality construction because of price even if it means exceeding your budget limit.
3. If you are buying a house for your own use and not for rental purpose then, you should be much more careful in making your choice. Hire a registered estate agent only. If you are not taking any help from an estate agent, then be sure to check the certifications or authorisations of the builder before signing any contract. If your builder has good reputation in the market, then you can find about them more from the online sources.
Never hesitate to clear all your doubts before making payment. There is no point in discussion after you have signed the contract. Take time, think over again and research thoroughly about the builder, location and other details. You should always keep in mind the safety and comfort of your family before buying a house.

The Arc of Yates received formal notification today that they have met the standards required to receive an accreditation from the Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL). The accreditation comes after a 4-day onsite visit by CQL reviewers who met with staff, community members, and individuals supported by the Agency.
CQL has been the preeminent organization for more than 40 years in defining, measuring and improving the quality of life for all people, including those with developmental and intellectual disabilities. The Arc of Yates becomes the only human services agency within Yates County to receive the CQL Quality Assurances Accreditation.
The person-centered philosophy championed by CQL and embraced by the Arc of Yates places the individuals receiving services in control. The programs and services they participate in are not dictated by what others think is best for them, but by the individual. With guidance from the Arc of Yates, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities make decisions based on their interests, passions, dreams and desires.
The accreditation process began in 2015 when the Arc of Yates created a CQL implementation team made up of 8 employees representing different departments within the organization. This team worked with every department and program in the Agency to examine how closely the Arc of Yate's practices aligned with CQL standards. The team evaluated 10 Key Factors and 46 Indicators during the process, not only determining if the Arc of Yates met each requirement but documenting and proving each item for CQL reviewers.
"This process was a great opportunity for our Agency to examine every program and every procedure, ensuring that we continue to be person-centered in the work we do," Arc of Yates President & CEO Daniele Lyman said. "It was an excellent opportunity to take an in-depth look at the work we do, with the help of the individuals we serve and their families, and see how we can raise the bar even higher to succeed in our goal of providing a Lifetime of Opportunities."
During the process reviewers met with several staff members, individuals supported by the Agency, and their families.
CQL accreditation was awarded as a result of the Arc of Yates demonstrating proficiency in the following areas:
(1) Basic Assurances (ensuring fundamental safeguards related to health, safety and human security);
(2) Personal Outcome Measures® (supporting and empowering people to achieve their goals and dreams);
(3) Shared Values (ensuring accountabilities related to our interactions with people).
Staff and individuals supported by the Agency gathered at the Arc of Yates headquarters on Friday morning to receive news of the accreditation.

Paul Derig, Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Manager with J.R. Simplot, testified on behalf of the Agricultural Retailers Association at a House Subcommittee hearing August 1 titled "West Fertilizer, Off the Grid: The Problem of Unidentified Chemical Facilities."
Witnesses at the hearing presented their testimony before the House Committee on Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Security Technologies.
ARA appreciates the additional agricultural industry representation provided by Donnie Dippel, President of
the Texas Ag Industries Association, who also testified at the hearing.
Paul Derig brought a unique perspective to the hearing as an EHS Manager responsible for oversight of regulatory programs for J.R. Simplot's agricultural retail operations and his over 30 years of past experience in fertilizer handling and security. This past experience also includes his work as a public responder, firefighter and National Fire Academy Instructor.
"Because of the many roles that I have been able to play, I understand the importance of safety and security in the public and private sectors," Derig stated in his testimony.
Derig made the following key points in his testimony on behalf of ARA and the ag retail industry:
1. ResponsibleAg is a new member-led performance management system that will establish foundational EHS&S practices with a third-party inspection program. More information on this program is available at www.aradc.org.
2. The testimony from Derig also emphasized the need for permanent CFATS or Long-term Reauthorization of the CFATS program needed for Regulatory Certainty.
3. On behalf of ARA, Derig also recommended the following enhancements to both the CFATS program and the Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer Registration Program:
A. A reevaluation of the Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer Registration Program. "In 2005, ARA testified in support of the Secure Handling of Ammonium Nitrate Act to seek traceability regulations for ammonium nitrate, and this legislation was signed into law in 2007," said Derig. "However, it has now been nearly six years since this law was enacted and DHS has not implemented a final AN rule."
B. To target unidentified chemical facilities through intergovernmental and industry cooperation. "The CFATS program is not perfect, but it's broken; at this stage it could benefit from stricter timelines, measurable and accountable metrics and tangible action-based outcomes," added Derig.
C. The Executive Order issued by President Obama today clearly shows that DHS should reevaluate its "Partnership" model to develop better cooperation between the public and private sector. "Too often, industry is only invited to participate in the last stage of the decision-making process," explained Derig.
D. Raise "Partnership" Outreach with Industry. Derig sited ARA's past industry outreach efforts coordinated with other organizations, including the FBI, EPA, DOD, the National Fire Protection Association and the First Responders Organization.
E. Reassess CFATS Small Facility Compliance Burdens. "Working together, we can help prevent tragedies like West from happening again. Our employees live and work in communities small and large across the country, and nothing is more important than protecting our workers, first responders and their neighbors," stated Derig. "We are an accountable and responsible industry committed to the safety of the communities in which we live and operate."
Watch video from the hearing and download full statements from all participants. Paul Derig's complete testimony and other documents ARA submitted to the subcommittee for the hearing are available on the ARA Website.

Compilation and Installation using Meson
1. Introduction
For general information about Meson see the Meson website.
Mesa's Meson build system is generally considered stable and ready for production.
The Meson build of Mesa is tested on Linux, macOS, Cygwin and Haiku, FreeBSD, DragonflyBSD, NetBSD, and should work on OpenBSD.
If Meson is not already installed on your system, you can typically install it with your package installer. For example:
sudo apt-get install meson # Ubuntuor
sudo dnf install meson # Fedora
Mesa requires Meson >= 0.45.0 to build. Some older versions of meson do not check that they are too old and will error out in odd ways.
You'll also need Ninja. If it's not already installed, use apt-get or dnf to install the ninja-build package.
2. Basic Usage
The meson program is used to configure the source directory and generates
either a ninja build file or Visual Studio® build files. The latter must
be enabled via the
--backend switch, as ninja is the default
backend on all
operating systems.
Meson only supports out-of-tree builds, and must be passed a directory to put built and generated sources into. We'll call that directory "build" here. It's recommended to create a separate build directory for each configuration you might want to use.
Basic configuration is done with:
meson build/
This will create the build directory. If any dependencies are missing, you can install them, or try to remove the dependency with a Meson configuration option (see below).
To review the options which Meson chose, run:
meson configure build/
Meson does not currently support listing configuration options before
running "meson build/" but this feature is being discussed upstream.
For now, we have a
bin/meson-options.py script that prints
the options for you.
If that script doesn't work for some reason, you can always look in the
meson_options.txt file at the root of the project.
With additional arguments
meson configure can be used to change
options for a previously configured build directory.
All options passed to this command are in the form
-D "option"="value".
For example:
meson configure build/ -Dprefix=/tmp/install -Dglx=true
Note that options taking lists (such as
platforms) are
a bit
more complicated, but the simplest form compatible with Mesa options
is to use a comma to separate values (
-D platforms=drm,wayland)
and brackets to represent an empty list (
-D platforms=[]).
Once you've run the initial
meson command successfully you can use
your configured backend to build the project in your build directory:
ninja -C build/
The next step is to install the Mesa libraries, drivers, etc. This also finishes up some final steps of the build process (such as creating symbolic links for drivers). To install:
ninja -C build/ install
Note: autotools automatically updated translation files (used by the DRI configuration tool) as part of the build process, Meson does not do this. Instead, you will need do this:
ninja -C build/ xmlpool-pot xmlpool-update-po xmlpool-gmo
3. Advanced Usage
- Installation Location
Meson default to installing libGL.so in your system's main lib/ directory and DRI drivers to a dri/ subdirectory.
Developers will often want to install Mesa to a testing directory rather than the system library directory. This can be done with the --prefix option. For example:
meson --prefix="${PWD}/build/install" build/
will put the final libraries and drivers into the build/install/ directory. Then you can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH to that location to run/test the driver.
Meson also honors
DESTDIRfor installs.
- Compiler Options
Meson supports the common CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, etc. environment variables but their use is discouraged because of the many caveats in using them.
Instead, it is recomended to use
-D${lang}_link_args. Among the benefits of these options is that they are guaranteed to persist across rebuilds and reconfigurations.
This example sets -fmax-errors for compiling C sources and -DMAGIC=123 for C++ sources:
meson builddir/ -Dc_args=-fmax-errors=10 -Dcpp_args=-DMAGIC=123
- Compiler Specification
Meson supports the standard CC and CXX environment variables for changing the default compiler. Note that Meson does not allow changing the compilers in a configured builddir so you will need to create a new build dir for a different compiler.
This is an example of specifying the clang compilers and cleaning the build directory before reconfiguring with an extra C option:
CC=clang CXX=clang++ meson build-clang ninja -C build-clang ninja -C build-clang clean meson configure build -Dc_args="-Wno-typedef-redefinition" ninja -C build-clang
The default compilers depends on your operating system. Meson supports most of the popular compilers, a complete list is available here.
Meson includes upstream logic to wrap llvm-config using its standard dependency interface.
As of meson 0.49.0 meson also has the concept of a "native file", these files provide information about the native build environment (as opposed to a cross build environment). They are ini formatted and can override where to find llvm-config: custom-llvm.ini
[binaries] llvm-config = '/usr/local/bin/llvm/llvm-config'Then configure meson:
meson builddir/ --native-file custom-llvm.ini
For selecting llvm-config for cross compiling a "cross file" should be used. It uses the same format as the native file above: cross-llvm.ini
[binaries] ... llvm-config = '/usr/lib/llvm-config-32'Then configure meson:
meson builddir/ --cross-file cross-llvm.iniSee the Cross Compilation section for more information.
For older versions of meson
%PATH%on windows) will be searched for llvm-config (and llvm-config$version and llvm-config-$version), you can override this environment variable to control the search:
PATH=/path/with/llvm-config:$PATH meson build.
pkg-configutility is a hard requirement for configuring and building Mesa on Unix-like systems. It is used to search for external libraries on the system. This environment variable is used to control the search path for
pkg-config. For instance, setting
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfigwill search for package metadata in
/usr/X11R6before the standard directories.
One of the oddities of meson is that some options are different when passed to
meson than to
meson configure. These options are
passed as --option=foo to
meson, but -Doption=foo to
configure. Mesa defined options are always passed as -Doption=foo.
For those coming from autotools be aware of the following:
This option will set the compiler debug/optimisation levels to aid debugging the Mesa libraries.
Note that in meson this defaults to
debugoptimized, and not setting it to
releasewill yield non-optimal performance and binary size. Not using
debugmay interfere with debugging as some code and validation will be optimized away.
For those wishing to pass their own optimization flags, use the
plainbuildtype, which causes meson to inject no additional compiler arguments, only those in the C/CXXFLAGS and those that mesa itself defines.
This option controls assertions in meson projects. When set to
false(the default) assertions are enabled, when set to true they are disabled. This is unrelated to the
buildtype; setting the latter to
releasewill not turn off assertions.
4. Cross-compilation and 32-bit builds
Meson supports
cross-compilation by specifying a number of binary paths and
settings in a file and passing this file to
meson or
meson configure with the
This file can live at any location, but you can use the bare filename (without the folder path) if you put it in $XDG_DATA_HOME/meson/cross or ~/.local/share/meson/cross
Below are a few example of cross files, but keep in mind that you will likely have to alter them for your system.
Those running on ArchLinux can use the AUR-maintained packages for some of those, as they'll have the right values for your system:
32-bit build on x86 linux:
[binaries] c = '/usr/bin/gcc' cpp = '/usr/bin/g++' ar = '/usr/bin/gcc-ar' strip = '/usr/bin/strip' pkgconfig = '/usr/bin/pkg-config-32' llvm-config = '/usr/bin/llvm-config32' [properties] c_args = ['-m32'] c_link_args = ['-m32'] cpp_args = ['-m32'] cpp_link_args = ['-m32'] [host_machine] system = 'linux' cpu_family = 'x86' cpu = 'i686' endian = 'little'
64-bit build on ARM linux:
[binaries] c = '/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc' cpp = '/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-g++' ar = '/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc-ar' strip = '/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-strip' pkgconfig = '/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-pkg-config' exe_wrapper = '/usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static' [host_machine] system = 'linux' cpu_family = 'aarch64' cpu = 'aarch64' endian = 'little'
64-bit build on x86 windows:
[binaries] c = '/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc' cpp = '/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++' ar = '/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar' strip = '/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-strip' pkgconfig = '/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-pkg-config' exe_wrapper = 'wine' [host_machine] system = 'windows' cpu_family = 'x86_64' cpu = 'i686' endian = 'little'

I am excited today to have Doris on the blog with a spot of advice, to show you just what all the fuss is about and just who Doris is. Don't be afraid, she doesn't bite and it has been proven beyond scientific fact she has no teeth, but her wit is sharp and she does tend to rip into you if you stray away from being true to yourself.
With Valentine's Day behind us and the lonely hearts club back to drinking wine from a box or perhaps, hitting the clubs again, there are still a lot of gals trying to figure out a way to keep their dignity intact and still find a man who excites them and will make them happy throughout their lives...or at least have a serious and stable relationship with! Maybe even those whose glitterific relationship has lost some of it's shine needs a bit of a boost!
Are you game? We also will be having a live interview with the Cabin Goddess, Kriss (she is also one of the head Fairies here), and a central Facebook event page where you can post questions for Doris throughout the tour, get updates and links during the tour and ask more info on the novella! Everyone in the know has been itching to see this book get everywhere and in have people join them in reading it and laughing just as hard as they did! You won't even need cream afterwards.. perhaps a glass of wine and a new boyfriend, but not any cream!
Why I wrote Close Call - A message from the Author
Hi and thanks for hosting Close Call. It's a fun book, yet some people seem to be a bit scared when they see the word 'vadgeventure' on the cover. Why shouldn't vaginas have adventures? And why do people assume it's going to be dirty. Oh, that's right vaginas are dirty — no they're not!
Close Call is a heartwarming story about Jemma, a twenty-something women who doesn't respect herself like she should. She underestimates her worth and picks up guys at bars in the hopes one will fall in love with her and they'll live happily-ever-after, but is that realistic?
In writing this book, I hoped to connect with all women who feel less-than. There is so much pressure from TV, Internet, movies, ads and music videos (the worst of the lot when it comes to objectifying women), to value women as objects — objects that must be thin in the right places, ample in others, have perfect skin, do anything in bed, be willing to demean herself to get a man. Instead of just being angry about it, I wrote a book. Finally, someone is speaking for all the abused, downtrodden, objectified women — a vagina. And what a wise vagina she is.
We can all learn something from Doris, and maybe we can learn to listen to that voice inside us, the voice that is woman, the voice that wants the best for us. We need that voice to be louder than the voices that want us to get a brazilian, wear a bikini and twerk in public. So, women, join together in valuing yourselves and have a laugh at the same time.
Believe it or not, Close Call is a feminist text. Yes, I wrapped it in pink and put the word 'vadgeventure' on the cover, but at its heart it has a valuable message.
You only have to open your eyes to see the objectification of women everywhere — from twerking in music videos to the ridiculous ratio of boobs and vaginas to penises in movies. Well guess what? I'm sick of it. There's a saying: Men are guided by their penis. Well, why can't women be guided by the thing that is at the centre of who they are: their vagina? Your vagina doesn't care what the latest fashion is; she doesn't mind if you're overweight or don't wax, and she definitely doesn't want you demeaning yourself to get a man who is not worth the five cents on the road you just walked past.
Doris is the woman, well vagina, who is helping me get the message across in a light-hearted, fun way. Doris is sassy, funny, and takes no crap. When Jemma finally listens to Doris, good things happen.
So don't expect lots of erotic sex or kinkiness — this is a deceptively silly book that will make you laugh, maybe cry and certainly entertain you while hopefully enlightening you to your worth — no matter what society says you should be, only your vagina is worth listening to (your vagina being that deep inner voice that says what you don't want to hear, but you know it's right: he's not right for me; I shouldn't be sleeping with this guy just for attention; I should have stuck up for myself when that person said I was just an emotional woman; I should have said something when that guy grabbed my ass at work).
Join Jemma and Doris on their Vadgeventure: you won't be sorry J.
Excerpt from Close Call.
Jemma left the bathroom and walked out into the main bar. Flicking her dark hair over her shoulder with one hand, she approached her friend, Erin. "Any action?" she asked.
Erin, giant silver-loop earrings peeking through her wavy auburn locks and weighing her lobes down, sipped her chocolate cocktail through a straw. "Hmm, there's a couple of hotties over there. The blonde one's been checking me out. What do you think?"
Jemma spotted the two twenty-somethings. "Nice. His friend is built, and you know I prefer brunettes." The girls giggled.
Doris braced herself when they started walking. She was sick of Jemma picking up guys in bars; well, she hadn't picked up a lot, but the five in the last six months were all losers — the kinds of guys who had their fun then never called again. What made Jemma think these guys would be any different? And Doris wasn't fooled into thinking Jemma didn't care; she had to listen to her swearing and crying to her friends when the guys never called back. The things vaginas had to put up with, and there was no escape!
So many times, Doris had information, after talking to the penises of these one-night stands, that Jemma could have used to make more informed decisions. Penises, Doris found, were way more honest than their owners . . . well, mostly.
"So, lovely ladies, can we buy you a drink?"
Doris cringed and heard giggling again, and then Erin spoke, "Yes, but only if you tell us your names."
"I'm Paul, and this is Aaron."
Jemma and Erin said, in unison, "Hi," then turned to each other, said, "Jinx!" and laughed.
Jemma nodded once and mouthed to Erin, "Matching polo shirts."
Erin grinned in approval.
Aaron spoke to Jemma, "What would you like to drink?"
"I'll have a gin and tonic, thanks."
Aaron winked at her, pulling out his wallet. Jemma noticed the fifty-dollar bills peeking over the edge.
"Coming right up, beautiful."
Jemma melted inside, sending a rush of heat to Doris, who sighed. Here we go, she thought.
Erin's vagina, Prudence, whispered, "Psst, Doris."
"What is it?" asked Doris.
"I think we'll be leaving with this one — I'm getting wet. They must look attractive, because I haven't heard anything special come out of their mouths."
"I know you can't see me, but I'm rolling my eyes. When will these girls ever learn?"
"I don't know," said Prudence. "Men think with their penises, but women can't hear us." She sighed. "Oh, dear, Erin is swaying. I think she's had too much to drink. I'll say bye now 'cause we'll be out of here soon. Good luck."
"Thanks, Prue. Might see you tomorrow after the girls get dumped."
"Yeah, more than likely. Okay, bye."
Viva la Vadgeventures!
Close Call: A Doris & Jemma Vadgeventure
Think Bridget Jones Diary and The Vagina Monologues.Twenty-two-year-old Jemma can't seem to get her life in order. Her track record with men stinks, she constantly worries about getting fat and ending up a spinster at thirty. And to top it off, she has to be a bridesmaid at her most-hated cousin's wedding. She feels like her life is over, until Doris decides to help out. Who's Doris? Doris is Jemma's vagina and she thinks more of Jemma than her own brain does. Doris is on a mission to save Jemma from herself, but is the task too much for one vagina to handle?

The Great Bacon Shortage (Infographic)
While you're striving to hack the collegiate life, between keeping up with your studies and making time for your social life, one of the biggest challenges is knowing how to cook on a budget. When you're burnt out on ramen and sick of spaghetti, it's comforting to know that one of the tastiest treats out there is affordable, easy to cook, and pairs perfectly with just about everything. This miracle food is, of course, bacon. Packed with protein and sure to satisfy, bacon isn't just insanely delicious, it's also long been one of the most affordable meats on the market. And the gentle sizzling of bacon in the pan goes beyond just what you know tastes good: It carries in its smoky smell the breeze of camaraderie, and a hint of knowing that as long as there's bacon on the table, exams will be aced, parties will be attended, and life will be fruitful.
But if you're up on the news, you know that the summer of 2012 marked the worst draught in the past 50 years of American history, and that the lack of rain has begun to threaten the livelihood of our beloved bacon. When the crops don't receive water, they don't grow. And when the crops don't grow, the pigs don't eat. And while bacon probably won't disappear from our lives entirely, the rising costs of it may soon rob humble college students of the once-cheap meal staple.
Take a look at the following infographic, and consider where the world would be without bacon.

Birds of a Feather "Nest" Together, Part 2
I love the colors in this line. They are deep and rich, a nice contrast to February. :) I think the quilting will have to wait. I have a bunch of practice mini quilts that I want to do first. This quilt is too special to rush.
Right now I am leaning toward a simple straight line pattern and mixing in some hand quilting with pearl cotton in a variety of colors outlining the bird or the nest.
I also considered a circular quilting pattern, and think it would be fabulous, but I really want to do the hand quilting. Not sure how they would look together. What do you think?
5 comments:
Vickie, your quilt is so beautiful. Those colors are awesome.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I also love those colors and the graphic lines in the fabrics! You're doing such a great job on it!!ReplyDelete
Stunning! Good idea to take your time and plan the quilting part carefully! You will be so pleased, once it's finished. Hugs xxReplyDelete
Wow!! I love this quilt!! Makes me wish I could zip back in time and pick up more of some of those prints! I think either way you quilt your quilt you'll be able to incorporate some hand quilting. The perle will really suit the bold look of your quilt.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 20, 2012 at 9:19 PM
Vickie -- this looks fantastic! You did such a great job. I'd love to know how you eventually quilt it.ReplyDelete
(I've lost a bit of my quilting mojo and haven't done much sewing since the end of summer. I've practically forgotten about my Nest quilt, which is really just blocks so far (and not enough blocks at that. This is encouraging to pull them out again, sooner rather than later).)

As a flatbed trucker, have you ever had the experience of hauling sensitive industrial machinery that the shipper expects to arrive with nary a scratch? If so, you know how challenging this can be. Road vibration can be an absolute killer when it comes to industrial machinery. Just a little vibration can do a lot of damage, even if you are not going thousands of miles.
To say that hauling industrial machinery is more than just tying it down with bungee straps is to state the obvious. These kinds of loads require a little TLC along with a basic understanding of how road vibrations affect different kinds of cargo. It can take years to learn all the tricks of the trade for protecting sensitive machinery.
If you are new to the flatbed industry, don't be afraid to take sensitive industrial machinery loads. Consider such loads a challenge. Then do what you can to learn how to transport them safely, including heeding the tips explained below.
Prepare Machinery Properly
The first step in hauling sensitive industrial machinery is to prepare the cargo for loading. The good news is that shippers often take care of this stuff themselves. It is fairly common for truckers to arrive at the yard and find machines already wrapped in cardboard and plastic, and secured to pallets. If that is not the case, the driver should insist that the shipper prepare the machines properly.
Loading and Positioning
Once the loading process begins, the truck driver is in control. The driver is ultimately responsible for the cargo from the moment it touches his/her trailer to the moment it is taken off, so make the effort to protect yourself by taking the lead in the loading process. The idea is to guarantee machinery is loaded in a way that allows you to protect it through your cargo control procedures.
The general rule for sensitive industrial machinery is to keep individual pieces from making direct contact with one another, if possible. Keep them as far apart as you can. If the number of pieces being loaded dictates that they have to be placed relatively close to one another, you'll have to use your best judgment.
Edge Protectors, Blankets, and Tie-Downs
This next part of the process is the most critical of all. After machinery has been put into position, it's now up to you to eliminate all risk of damage. You should immediately begin thinking about corner and edge protectors. Wherever you can place one, you should. Use corner and edge protectors to prevent direct contact among multiple pieces of machinery. You also want to prevent contact between machinery and your tie-downs and tarps.
If need be, you may want to throw moving blankets over the top of the machinery and into empty spaces. Then securely tighten everything down with ratchet straps. There should be something between every strap and the machinery it secures, whether that be an edge protector or blanket.
Keep Tarps Taught
Our last tip is to keep your tarps taught throughout the entire journey. There is nothing more frustrating than going to great lengths to protect sensitive machinery only to find that a tarp left flapping in the wind caused some damage.
The trucker's best friend for this job is the bungee strap. Tarps can be secured to the bed of the trailer using bungee straps at every grommet. The driver can then use bungee rope or a series of straps connected to go around the perimeter of the cargo. Securing the perimeter at the top and bottom will keep tarps tight and in place.

Corn is one of the cereals that you can get creative with. This is typically referred to as maize that can be cooked in different ways. Corn has plenty of health benefits.
Here are some amazing nutritional benefits of craving corn during pregnancy:
- Corn is rich in fiber that alleviates problems like constipation, which is very common in pregnancy.
- Corn is rich in folate. Regular intake of folic acid reduces the risks of birth defects such as spina bafida along with other neutral malformations.
- During pregnancy, your thiamin requirement increases. Corn contains thiamin that helps the development of memory in your unborn baby.
- Corns contain zeaxanthin that protect your baby against muscular degeneration in the later years.
- Corns contain patothenic acid that ensures the proper physiological functioning of your organs in pregnancy.

How to implement Wireshark filters
Setting up Wireshark filters enables you to limit the amount of network traffic you must wade through as you seek out packets of interest, says Laura Chappell, author of "Wireshark Network Analysis: The Official Wireshark Certified Network Analyst Study Guide." But everyone has different network traffic monitoring needs, so you must learn to tailor Wireshark filtering appropriately.
In this video from the series "Coffee and a Quickie," Chappell explains Wireshark capture filters vs. Wireshark display filters, and she shows step-by-step how to set up Wireshark filters according to your specific needs.

You can enjoy a rich harvest of cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts -- if you use your head at harvest time.Harvesting Broccoli & Brussels Sprouts
Broccoli is like a trick candle you can't blow out. Once you pick the first head, the plant responds by producing more side shoots for you to eat. The first head is prime for cutting when its buds are packed close together without any sign of blossoming. Cut it off then, even if the head is smaller than you'd like. If you wait until the small yellow flower blossoms appear, the head will become bitter and the plant won't produce side shoots; it's already gone to seed (bolted). If you spot any yellow blossoms, cut the broccoli. You may stop the bolting process in time, and side shoots may form.
Leave 2 to 3 inches of stem on the plant; the second, lateral heads will branch out from there. Harvest these smaller spears on a daily basis, breaking or cutting them off the plant close to the main stem. Most of the broccoli stem is tender enough to eat, although the most tender part is at the top, nearest the newest growth. Again, if you harvest before these side shoots blossom, you should be able to keep the plant producing for weeks!
Brussels sprouts are easy to harvest. Starting when they're marble-sized, pick off sprouts from the bottom of the plant, moving up the stalk as you go. Also pick off any loose or soft buds, even if you aren't going to eat them, so the plant will keep producing new sprouts.
In the far North, you may be able to harvest Brussels sprouts into December or January, brushing aside snow to reach the plants. In more temperate climates, these extra-hardy plants will produce throughout the winter months.Cutting Cabbage
Cabbage can be a challenge at midsummer harvest time because you can coax each plant into producing two, three or up to six heads for a fall harvest. To do it, you must harvest the first spring-planted cabbage when the heads are fairly small, about softball size. These small heads make terrific coleslaw for two. Leave four to five lower leaves on the plant, and from each leaf or two another small head may appear.
Of course, you can settle for just one cabbage from each plant. You have no choice in the fall, because your second crop of cabbage only has time to make single heads. Harvest the largest heads in the row; the larger and firmer they are, the better they'll keep.Harvesting Cauliflower and Friends
Cauliflower heads are ready to harvest as soon as they are blanched pure white and have grown to be 6 to 12 inches across. Each plant produces only one head, so make the most of your growing efforts and keep harvesting any heads that are ready. Simply cut off the head, leaving about 3 inches of stem to keep the florets intact.
Chinese cabbage is best harvested fully grown, although the leaves are edible right from the start. When the loose heads are 12 to 15 inches tall, cut them off at the base with a sharp knife. Harvest the largest heads first to make room for the rest to develop.
Kohlrabi should be pulled when it's 2 to 3 inches across. Don't let it grow any bigger or the bulb will become tough, bitter and woody tasting.
Although all of the cole crops are easy to freeze, cabbages will also keep in a root cellar or other winter storage facility.
To store cabbages, harvest only fully mature heads, handling them carefully to prevent bruising. Don't wash the heads or trim off any outer leaves; these will help protect the heads.
Cabbages can be tricky to store for extended periods. They need cool, moist, dark surroundings, such as a root cellar with an even temperature. To prolong preservation, wrap each head in several thicknesses of newspaper. Check your stored cabbages often -- even slight rot can send out a three-alarm smell.
If you don't have a root cellar, you can make cabbage storage mounds outdoors with very little effort. Dig a deep hole, and line the bottom with a heavy layer of straw for insulation. Place the heads upside-down in the hole, cover them with more thick straw, shovel 4 to 5 inches of soil around the straw and leave an opening on top. Cover the opening with a board. Whenever you need a cabbage, dig down into the straw pit and repack the straw around the remaining vegetables when you're finished.

Naeem Khan Fall/Winter 2016-2017 RTW – NYFW
Naeem Khan's ready-to-wear fall/winter 2016 collection was big " and I'm not just talking about the hair. The New York Fashion Week showing was rich in prints and colors, which showcased the embroidery work in which Khan's label is grounded. This marks a leaping point for the designer, who plans to pursue a slot for a show in Paris.
"My family has been making embroideries for over 100 years " I've all the facilities to do [couture], so why should I not? I think I've honed my skills. I'm ready for it."
And this collection displayed Khan's family history with the craft, and rectified his claim that his skills are honed. If the Naeem Khan fall 2016 collection is any telling factor, then it is very likely he will show a successful line when he makes it over to Paris. For now, however, his mind is in New York City, where the inspiration of his current collection came from the architecture of the streets and skyline. "Anytime I'm driving by or I'm at somebody's penthouse apartment, I see these amazing jewel rooftops and I say to myself, 'They really look like embroideries.'"
With that in mind, the sequins and other embroidery have a much larger impact on the viewer. The resulting patterns are given more meaning, and everything seems a lot more intentional, in turn. The looks were breathtaking, in that they were timeless classics, yet had a modern stamp on it. With so many striking eveningwear looks, it becomes hard not to imagine your favorite celebrities wearing any of these gowns on the red carpet.
There were no lulls in the lineup, as each look carried with it a unique charm and new ideas. Rather than following a cohesive theme throughout the collection, sometimes the looks went in a new direction, almost as if it were a tangent from Khan's original design plan. Nevertheless, that didn't distract from each look's strength and sense of agency. From the first look, the viewer is hooked by the absolute power exuded from the model and the garment itself, and that feeling continued to pulse through the rest of the show.
Some looks were a bit more expected than others, in that they followed Khan's signature classic beauty theme with lovely embroidery to add interesting textures or patterns, but without these looks the collection would have been lacking. Without the context of the fashion show or the surrounding looks, it would still be easy to point to a gown and say with certainty that Naeem Khan was the creator. These signature pieces are an important cornerstone to each of his collections, and with their continued success on the markets, he must be doing it right! Until the clothes are sold and distributed, we'll be crossing our fingers in hopes of seeing a great many of these looks gracing our favorite stars come fall.
In the front row was Filipino Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach, dressed in one of Khan's jumpsuits. Actress Willow Shields was beside Wurtzbach in the front row, and is also a follower of Khan. The most prominent guest in attendance, however, was on the stage. 11-year-old Trinity Faith Moran walked the runway with Khan to take his bow. The Make-a-Wish Foundation partnered with Khan to make Moran's dream of walking down a runway a reality. She walked the runway wearing a bright red gown, matching the shade of the others in the collection, and brought about the perfect end to the stunning show.

Travelport (NYSE:TVPT), a leading Travel Commerce Platform, has today announced further expansion of its interests in Japan with the purchase of its distribution business - Galileo Japan. Galileo Japan was previously owned by a consortium of airline owners.
Japan is one of the world's largest travel markets, and, in terms of flight seats offered for sale, is only smaller than the USA and China due to its large volume of domestic air travel bookings, as well as the international connectivity provided to Japanese businesses and tourists. It is also the world's fourth largest economy in terms of GDP.
The Galileo Japan acquisition means that Travelport can now establish a new, consolidated Travelport Japan entity in the country. Whilst still offering its customers a choice of the Apollo or Worldspan platforms, the extended operation will build on the successful operations Travelport has been offering in Japan over the past 30 years and allow for much tighter alignment in terms of products and services offered. All former Galileo Japan employees, including Managing Director, Yoshinobu Aoyama, will transition to the new Travelport entity which will be headquartered in Tokyo and supported by two satellite offices in Nagoya and Osaka.
The news of the acquisition comes as Travelport continues to invest and enhance its global Travel Commerce Platform through which it has established leadership positions in air merchandising, hotel distribution, B2B payments and mobile commerce.
Gordon Wilson, President and CEO for Travelport, commented: "This is a tuck in acquisition of a business we know well and have worked with for three decades. The decision to transform from a distribution franchise to a wholly owned operation is commensurate with our goals to further expand our successful business across Asia. Japan is a major travel market and owning our operation here, whilst continuing our other successful strategic partnerships in Japan, will enhance our growth prospects in the country. We calculate that we now process nearly half of all international air bookings made by Japanese travel agencies and lead the market."
Yoshinobu Aoyama, Managing Director - Galileo Japan, said: "We see this acquisition as a very positive move for our customers. Now, with the full backing of Travelport, we will be better placed to take advantage of the considerable opportunities that we see ahead of us in the region. The new investment in our business and team means that our travel agency customers will benefit from enhanced services and support."

What's New For Search Engine Optimization
Search engines like Google are ever changing—sometimes from day to day—so while we're always updating our search engine optimization (SEO) tactics and approach, sometimes it's necessary for Sage Island to do a more significant shift in our approach in order to adapt. Our internet marketing team has done just that recently, and this article should give you an overview of some major recent changes to our SEO services.
One of the most significant changes Google has made is in the realm of local search results. Mentions of a company's name, address, phone number and website, called citations, from credible websites like Yelp and Manta have a strong influence on local search results. Citations, which can be links or non-links, provide assurance to Google that the business is in fact real, has a specific location and is associated with a particular industry. Building citation links is time-consuming, but very necessary in order for small businesses to be found on the web.
For larger companies, who aren't doing business in just one location, our SEO team has shifted its focus to Guest Blogging. Guest Blogging, essentially a link-building tactic, provides an opportunity for companies to get mentions in highly credible, informative blog posts on sites with an active audience and high search engine rankings. Through this new tactic, we strategically target sites relevant to each company's product or service.
Content marketing is a tactic we recommend for both SEO and social media clients. Creating content that informs, educates or entertains customers and sharing that content through blog posts, websites and social media is a great way to build a stronger SEO presence. It's also an extremely helpful way to engage social media users. A majority of customers research products and services before spending their dollars, and they're relying on product reviews and other information to make informative purchasing decisions. Luckily Sage Island has a team of excellent writers, savvy social media experts and search engine marketers to create top-notch content for companies.
These tactics Sage Island will be employing reflect a big shift in today's SEO strategy—quality versus quantity. Instead of focusing on a larger number of less relevant links across the web, we are now committed to building high-quality links on a smaller number of credible sites. This reinforces the idea that your SEO strategy should be geared toward humans, not computers.

FREELAND, MICH. -- Senior Trine University men's basketball player, Pete Smith (Bristol, Ind./Northridge) has been named this week's Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association "Player of the Week."
Smith helped lead Trine to a convincing win against Manchester University in its only action this past week. Smith was one of three Thunder players to score in double figures against the Spartans with a game and season-high 21 points.
Smith connected on five three-pointers for 15 of his 21 points and shot eight-of-13 overall from the field (61.5 percent) for the game. He also had five rebounds, two assists and three steals.
It marked the second game this season that Smith has scored 20 or more points and has recorded 15 or more points in all but one game played so far this year. Overall, Smith leads Trine in scoring at 17.8 points per game and is shooting 53.2 percent (33-of-62) overall from the field, including 44.7 percent (17-of-38) from three-point range. He has been averaging 4.2 rebounds per game and is fourth on the team in assists with 12. Defensively, Smith is tied for the team lead in steals with eight.
Trine will host Great Lakes Christian College on Wednesday, Dec. 5 at the MTI Center as part of a basketball doubleheader with the Thunder women's team. The men will take on GLCC at 6 p.m. and will be followed by the Trine women against Kalamazoo (Mich.) College at 8 p.m.

Rowing is a great exercise that is able to combine both strength and aerobic training in one making it perfect for all ages; with this in mind, a rowing machine is a great addition to any home gym due to its simplicity, and ability to work out and target numerous different muscles. The Stamina 1205 Precision Rower is considered as a simple, efficient and compact equipment that is able to provide exercisers with the type of exercise that they require.
The Stamina 1205 Precision Rower provides exercisers with the simulation of actual rowing, and the smooth motion is not only comfortable, but also quite realistic. The product is from a reputable manufacturer, Stamina, who has been known for producing high quality home fitness equipment for over two decades. The Stamina 1205 Precision Rower has padded seats and glides on a ball-bearing rolling system with an adjustable hydraulic cylinder that will allow exercisers to adjust the resistance placed on the machine. While there are numerous different types of rowing machines on the market, the Stamina 1205 Precision Rower is not foldable. It is, however, available in a compact size, and able to provide exercisers with the same quality workout as a machine twice its size. The 1205 Precision Rower is the perfect machine for all ages, and definitely able to provide a full body workout to the muscles. It especially targets back and shoulder muscles.
What We Like
Durability: All Stamina products have been known for their durability, and the Stamina 1205 Precision Rower is no different. Not only is it made from a sturdy silver steel frame with aluminum beams extruding from it, the whole product has been known to be able to last exercisers for years to come. Many have noted that the machine is extremely durable, and able to withstand huge amounts of pressure and strain without breaking or failing on them.
Comfort: The 1205 Precision Rower has been known for its comfort as it has thick padded seats that are able to provide just the right type of cushion. In addition to thick padded seats, the machine also has pivoting footplates that are not locked in place. The footplates are able to provide additional support and help exercisers maintain an upright position when utilizing the machine.
Multi-function monitor: Like most home fitness exercise machines, the Stamina 1205 Precision Rower has a high-tech monitor that will be able to provide information regarding stroke count, total stroke count on the machine, calories burned, time spent on the machine and more while monitoring important factors like heartbeat. It will also show speed and distance. Exercisers can alter between different modes in order to track and log their different performance level and progress.
Adjustable Customizations: Like all exercises, different people will have different abilities, and the Stamina 1205 Precision Rower will ensure that exercisers are able to adjust the resistance of the machine using the hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic cylinders will place different amounts of pressure and resistance on the machine for different levels of workout sessions.
Warranty: Stamina is a reputable company, and they are more than happy to stand by the products that they manufacture. With this in mind, they are able to provide a 5 year warranty on the frame, and a 90 day warranty on the parts of the machine. Any repairs or replacements that are needed will be happily covered by the company, and customers of Stamina will be able to access a high-quality, and useful customer service support team at all times of day.
Noise: While most rowing machines have been known to be quite loud in general, the Stamina 1205 Precision Rower has been known to be quite quiet, and can be perfect for household usage. In fact, most consumers have reported being able to use the machine while watching television at a normal volume without having to change the volume at all.
Cost: The machine costs only a fraction of what other rowing machines do making it extremely affordable. It's a great investment for the future, and definitely well worth the price.
What We Don't Like
Foldability: While most machines can be folded up, and stored in smaller spaces, the Stamina 1205 Precision Rower cannot be folded up at all. Those who do not own their own home gym may have problems storing the machine as it cannot be disassembled.
Unadjustable arms: The arms of the machine are unadjustable which has been problematic for some consumers who are looking for more customizations on their home fitness machine. While the arms are quite comfortable for most people, others have different preferences and may want the arms closer or further from the torso depending on the muscles that they are looking to target.
Our Verdict
In general, the Stamina 1205 Precision Rower has been quite popular on the market, and known to be able to help many get the type of exercise that they need without going to a gym. It's not only durable, and able to last for years to come, but it also has numerous functions, and the multi-function monitor makes it easy to track and log progress. It's the perfect machine for home owners looking to quietly get the exercise they need while watching television.
While it is a great machine, it is not recommended for those who are tight on space, and have no location to store the machine. Since the machine is not foldable, some consumers have had trouble storing the machine, and needed to move it from one location to another. With this in mind, the machine is not that heavy and weighs only about 45 pounds or so meaning that it's not too difficult to move. Some consumers have needed to prop the machine up against the wall which can scratch the walls.
The Stamina 1205 Precision Rower is a great investment for those looking for a good workout, and definitely well worth the price especially since the product has a good warranty backing it up. It is able to provide the low-impact workout that most people are looking for at a reasonable price.
