ORLANDO, FL - Rachael Martin and Nicole Mattson put on an offensive clinic as Florida Southern College volleyball kicked off the 2018 South Region Crossover with a pair of 3-0 victories on Friday at the Orlando Sports Center. The Moccasins (16-8) took down Valdosta State in the first match of the day and dominated No. 12 West Florida in the second contest. Martin tallied 13 kills in the win against the Blazers, while Mattson ended the day with 18 against the Argonauts.
The Mocs will wrap up the weekend tomorrow against West Georgia as the Sunshine State Conference and Gulf South Conference conclude their annual crossover tournament.
- Florida Southern largely dominated each set in its 3-0 win over the Blazers. The Moccasins never trailed in the first set and were able to build an eight-point lead (13-5) based on the strength of a 5-0 run early in the set. Valdosta State would get no closer than five points the rest of the way as it rolled to a 25-19 first-set win. The Mocs hit .375 on the attack while holding the Blazers to just .143.
- In the second set, Valdosta State grabbed early momentum with a 3-0 run to start things off. However, the Moccasins rallied and pulled within one (10-9) before VSU jumped back up by two (11-9). That's when Southern would come to life and ripped off four in a row to take a 13-11 lead and force the Blazers to call a timeout. After leading by as many as four (17-13), FSC saw its lead dwindle to one (17-16). Florida Southern responded with a 6-0 run to take a commanding 23-16 en route to another 25-19 set victory.
- The Moccasins trailed after the first point in the third set but scored three straight to take the lead and never trailed again. A pair of 4-0 runs would push the Mocs' lead to 18-12 and Florida Southern closed things out with a 3-0 run to make the final 25-18.
- Martin led the Moccasins with 13 kills, while Mattson and Buse Ene each had eight. Gabby fresh had 15 digs, while Ene added 10. Fresh also added four service aces and Tierra Porter led the Mocs with five blocks. Florida Southern hit .343 on the attack while VSU managed to hit just .165, and the Mocs tallied seven blocks to the Blazers' four.
- The Moccasins held the Argonauts to just .112 on the attack to help them snag a 25-19, 25-22, 25-20 victory over the nation's 12th ranked team. Florida Southern fell behind 4-0 in the first set, but slowly clawed its way back until it snagged an 8-7 lead. Trailing 10-8 just moments later, the Mocs went on a 5-1 run to jump in front by two (13-11). After falling behind again just minutes later, FSC scored three in a row to go up 16-14 and would never trail again. UWF got within two (21-19) in the late stages, but four-straight points from Southern put an end to any West Florida rally and gave the Mocs a 1-0 match lead.
- After jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the second set, the Moccasins saw their lead slip away as UWF came alive and took a 15-10 advantage midway through. However, Florida Southern responded with eight consecutive points to steal all the momentum and regain the advantage (18-15). Trailing by five (24-19) and facing set point, the Argos were able to score three in a row to make it 24-22, but Bethany Besancenez snuck a ball over the net that would land for a kill and give FSC a 25-22 second-set win.
- The third set was all Florida Southern as the Mocs largely dominated from start to finish. The Moccasins raced out to an early 6-2 lead and used a 5-0 run later on to grab a commanding 15-6 advantage. West Florida would close the gap to three in the late stages, but Florida Southern hung on for a 25-20 win to close out the match.
- Mattson finished with 18 kills and nine digs, while Ene, Martin, and Whitney Drost all had eight. Ene also led the Mocs in digs with 12, and Besancenez had 34 assists. The Moccasins outblocked the Argonauts 9-6.
- Florida Southern improved to 10-6 all-time against West Florida, including 7-1 in neutral-site contests. The Mocs have won four in a row against UWF. Southern also improved to 8-0 all-time against Valdosta State and has swept the Blazers in seven of those eight meetings.
- Mattson recorded her 1,500th career kill in the win over VSU to become just the fifth player in program history with 1,500 kills and 1,000 digs. She finished the day with 1,521 kills, putting her fifth in program history.
- Besancenez upped her career assists total to 4,900 and needs 830 to set a school record. She is on pace to become just the second player in school history with 5,000 career assists. She also has recorded 1,278 digs, good for ninth in program history.
- Florida Southern will take on West Georgia tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. to close out the weekend. The Mocs will then travel to Florida Tech (Oct. 26), Embry-Riddle (Oct. 27), Nova Southeastern (Nov. 2) and Palm Beach Atlantic (Nov. 3) before capping off the season with home contests against Rollins (Nov. 9) and Tampa (Nov. 10).

I'm planning for an extended Kitchen Garden for next year. It will follow the same principles as my current Garden, just add some more space. Here's a Visual Plan of the Garden Layout:
Raised Beds / Deep Beds
I plan to dig Deep Beds (dig approximately 30 cm into the ground) and then add Frames/Raised Beds on top of that. I will add an an extra 30 cm of Soil in the Frames. This meens that the Vegetables get a nice layer of 60 cm of great soil to grow in. Their roots will stretch downwards instead of sideways and allow me to grow more Vegetables in the same area since I can plant them closer to each other.
Why adding frames?
Adding the Frames/Raised Beds on top of my Deep Beds has several benefits:
- Allows the Beds to warm up a bit faster in the spring.
- Prevents me from walking around in the beds.
- Makes it easy for cover material (like leaves, grass clippings and so on) to stay put and add nutrients to the soil continously.
- Makes it easier to add and fix Cold Frames and other supplies.
Modular System
Each Raised Bed will be 80x120 cm. This builds a Modular System where I can move Cold Frames, Trellis, Smal Grow Tents etc. between the Beds and use them where they are needed at the moment. It also allows me to reuse a lot of things that I already have for my existing Garden - like the Cold Frames that I built this Season.
Crop Rotation
I plan to keep my current Crop Rotation system. It's built on 4 main Quarters/Blocks:
1. Enriching (with a twist..) - Purple Areas
2. Heavy Feeders - Green Areas
3. Needs Less - Blue Areas
4. Needs almost nothing - Red Areas
(More about this in the post on My Crop Rotation).
I will also get some Extra Raised Beds - Yellow Areas - where I will grow Perennials like Strawberries, have my Soil Factory and grow some stuff that I can't fit anywhere else..
I am not done with the planning of exactly what to grow in each Bed. That will be a nice planning job to save for the Winter. What do you think? General input? Ideas?

Re: New Garden Layout Plan for my Extended Kitchen Garden
I decided to change the Garden Layout a bit. The reason is simple: I wanted to fit more Raised Beds. I decided to go for a more straight forward Garden Layout, and reduce the areas between the Garden Beds. This allows me to fit 25 Garden Beds instead of the 22 that was in my original Plan.
This is the updated Garden Layout Plan:
This is the area I plan to use for the extended Kitchen Garden.
I will keep you posted.

I consider smart backpacks to be one of the best things that has ever happened to the backpack industry. The idea of bringing technology into the backpack revolutionalized the industry making the backpack to be even more versatile than it ever was. Are you in the market for a smart backpack and are probably wondering which are the best out there? Then check out my top smart backpacks for women and also for men.
From backpacks with charging ports to those that are TSA approved, solar paneled backpacks, backpacks with headphone jacks are just some examples of cool features of smart backpacks.
1. Yorepek's Extra Large Backpack
There are several reasons why I decided to pick this as my first choice of smart backpacks for women and also for men.
Yorepek is a company that was recently formed as at the time this post was created and they have risen to the top and have been featured in a lot of top 10 lists.
They made it a point to study what their competition does and improved on it. This has made their smart backpacks to become really popular and one of their best designs is their extra large smart backpack.
For those going for a smart backpack with lots of pockets and extra space to back your items then Yorepek's extra large backpack is meant for you. You get to listen to your music the right way by making use of the headphone jack from the backpack, the backpack is TSA friendly, you can charge your phone with ease and also it has an unbelievable number of pockets that would be more than enough for you.
2. Matein Laptop Backpack
Matein is also one of those companies that have not been around for a very long time but are already making their mark in this industry.
The secret to their success is that they consider themselves to be both seller and consumer of backpacks. Because they make use of backpacks they themselves encountered the problems that you encountered.
The features that you need in a backpack they themselves were also in need of them. It's like they felt what you felt when making use of your backpack.
This is what made them design a smart backpack that is considered a bestseller in various online shopping stores. Matein's travel laptop backpack is durable and water-resistant and is ideal for students, business, travel.
Its color selections are just amazing and trust me when I tell you that you would not regret getting one for your self.
3. Oscaurt Anti-Theft Travel Backpack
Have you ever come across a backpack that is almost a perfect anti-theft backpack? It's like a backpack designed to give the bad guys no chance of getting any access into your backpack.
I had not come across such a backpack until recently which is what made me include Oscaurt Anti-Theft Travel Backpack in my list of smart backpacks for women and men.
If you take a closer look at the picture of the backpack you would see that the zippers are completely hidden.
Amature burglars or pickpockets would have a had time gaining access into your oscaurt anti-theft backpack.
Heck even experienced burglars won't find it that easy to gain access into your backpack.
I know you must be wondering why I said almost perfect anti-theft. I said almost perfect because first and foremost nothing in this world is perfect and secondly, though it has a really good anti-theft feature there were some complaints that when the backpack becomes full it hidden zippers become not so hidden.
Like I said in my Oscaurt Anti-Theft Travel Backpack review the best way around this is to make sure you don't over pack when making use of this bag.
4. TYLT Power Bag
TYLT energi pro power backpack was actually what I planned on placing here but I just went over their website and I noticed that they no longer produce that particular backpack.
That was a huge disappointment because it got a lot of positive reviews from previous customers.
All hope was not lost as I did a little further digging and noticed that they produced another similar model or should I say upgrade.
It has not been around for long so the reviews were not much but based on its specs been very similar to TYLT energi pro power backpack I have a feeling it is going to be just as good.
TYLT Power Bag is the newest model or upgrade of TYLT energi pro power backpack and it is just as awesome. For starters, the backpack can be converted to a tote bag by tucking the back straps to their designated pockets and also, it comes with a built-in battery that can be used to charge your smartphones and tablets.
5. Fanspack's Solar Powered Backpack
There are some features that makes a smart backpack stand out and a solar-powered backpack is one of them.
Unfortunately, it is rare to see a particular smart backpack that has all the features of several smart backpacks rolled up into one.
Each smart backpack has probably one to three features that makes them identify as a smart backpack.
If you had told me several years ago that a backpack would have a solar panel attached to it to charge some items like phones or tablets I would have told you to keep on dreaming.
This particular dream has become a reality and now solar powered backpacks are been produced.
Fanspack's solar-powered backpack comes with a removable solar panel that can be removed from the backpack and used alone. If you decide to get yourself this just make sure you read how to properly make use of the solar panel in other to get the best use out of it.
I have searched wide across the internet and although I might not be able to identify every single smart backpack out there but in my opinion, these are some of the best smart backpacks for women and also for men. Their features are amazing and they might just make your life to be much easier than it used to be.
I have picked these as some of my favorite selections but I would like your thought on them. What do you think about them and which is your favorite? Do you have any in particular that I did not include here? Please feel free to leave a comment in the comment section below and I would reply to your comment as soon as I possibly can.

Quick start
- Email firstname.lastname@example.com
Advanced Audio Plugin for Unity
Quick start
If you for whatever reason want to have access to all parts of the InAudio data, the
CommonDataManager is the solution. It can be accessed via the static property
DataManager in the
InAudioInstanceFinder class. The data manager contains a
Load() function that loads all data. It works in both the editor and runtime.
This is not the prefered way of working with InAudio! Using the way described in the examples is the prefered way as that cannot change anything unintentionally.
Though if you still want to access the data directly, you can do it like this.
InAudioNode rootNode = InAudioInstanceFinder.DataManager.AudioTree; Debug.Log(rootNode.GetName); //If you want to find something by a specific name or another parameter. //TreeWalker is the prefered way to traverse the hiearchy. InAudioNode foundNode = TreeWalker.FindFirst(InAudioInstanceFinder.DataManager.AudioTree, node => node.GetName == "example name");
Be careful As the data is placed in prefabs, any change to the data will change it permanently. Even if you are in playmode.
The properties in the
CommonDataManager is as follows
AudioTree - Audio data
EventTree - Event data
BusTree - Bus data
BankLinkTree - Bank data
Each of these all implement the ITreeNode interface which contains these members.
public interface ITreeNode<T> where T : UnityEngine.Object, ITreeNode<T> { T GetParent { get; set; } List<T> GetChildren { get; } bool IsRoot { get; } string GetName { get; } int ID { get; set; } }

Palermo at David Zwirner
An exhibition of works by German artist Palermo is coming to David Zwirner's New York space, with a selection of paintings, "objects" and large-scale drawings made between 1973 and 1976, representing the artist's richest creative period prior to his early death in 1977. The gallery's London branch is currently hosting Luc Tuymans' The Shore.
The Fabric Paintings
Best known for his monochromatic canvases and fabric paintings, Palermo's work swings from Abstraction, through Minimalism to Conceptual Art, yet it represents its own intriguing genre. Interested in different kinds of surfaces, such as paper, aluminum, steel and wood, this artist studied color, forms and composition and produced unconventional art. His triangular, round or totem-like shaped paintings often embed painted blocks of material, stretched and stitched over a frame. The experiments he undertook during a short, but productive career allowed him to play with the visual language and to explore its semantic meanings and representations. His oeuvre also includes a bit of street art – he realized around 20 murals and wall drawings across Europe, in cities like Brussels and Edinburgh, using mediums such as sketching and photography to document them. His metaphoric paintings are often realized in series, often interacting with the space around them by absorbing its characteristics.
German artist Palermo was born Peter Schwarze in 1943. After he and his twin brother were adopted, their name was changed to Heisterkamp. His chosen artist name, (Blinky) Palermo, refers to Frank "Blinky" Palermo, an American mafioso and boxing promoter. Between 1962 and 1967, he studied under Joseph Beuys at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, and had his first exhibition in 1966, at Galerie Friedrich & Dahlem in Munich. With Gerhard Richter, he submitted designs of sport facilities for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. His works participated in more than 70 shows, most of them posthumously, including at the 1975 São Paulo Biennial, Centre Pompidou in Paris in 1986 and the Serpentine Gallery in London in 2003. He died in 1977, aged 33, during his trip to the Maldives, under mysterious consequences that probably have to do with his drug use. His sudden death inspired artist Julian Schnabel to create the 1981 painting The Unexpected Death of Blinky Palermo in the Tropics.
Palermo exhibition at David Zwirner
The Palermo exhibition at David Zwirner will feature exemplary pieces, such as three-dimensional forms interacting with gallery walls in many ways and floating in the limb between painting and sculpture. His fascination with the technicalities of an artwork, such as their creation, exhibition and reception, is a great part of his artistic visions. Included in the show will be Objekt mit Wasserwage (Object with Spirit Level), a canvas containing a leveling tool which witnesses Palermo's detailed installation and construction skills, together with the Metallbilder (Metal Pictures) – the aluminum paintings, and the large-scale works on paper that have not been exhibited since 1974.
Palermo: Works 1973 – 1976 will be on view at David Zwirner Gallery's 537 West 20th Street location in New York, USA, from February 26th until April 11th, 2015.

The annual sales volumes for new and existing homes rose to an all-time high in May and June, pushing the months' supply of unsold homes to all-time lows. Amid strong sales activity and low supply, home prices continue to climb.
With all the talk of rate increases, some consumers sense an urgency to take advantage of today's low mortgage rates. Therefore, we don't believe that the current peak sales volume levels can be sustained much longer.

How a stressed out overworked medic found lifestyle relief in the new realm of adventureprenuership.
A few years ago I was sitting on the couch thinking to myself….
What if life stays the same?
You'll make the same amount of money.
You'll have the same relationships.
Most of all, you'll have the same daily internal tensions feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the future….
And none of it will EVER go away?
You never grow?
Never level up?
What kind of life would that be?
That was my nightmare not too long ago….
At my lowest moment, I could only fall asleep if I had a few drinks…
..mostly tequila.
The stress at work and my uncertain future kept me up at night….
On the outside it looked like I had it all together, but internally I was physically and emotionally being ripped apart…..
My management job, that was sucking the life out of me.
I would put on a happy and confident exterior but really, I was pissed off and uncertain about what to do!!!
I knew I couldn't keep this routine up for 30-40 years.
It felt so toxic.
….wake up…
punch a clock…
trade time for money….
come home…
stressed and anxious….
take a few sips of tequila, ease my anxiety…..
fall asleep….
wake up…
punch a clock…. Etc…..
Something had to change…
so I gave up my "fancy" position and blazed a new path for myself that was healthy, challenging, and true to myself…
It wasn't easy, but after I did all the math I knew what I had to do….
Today, if you're feeling bored with the same old routine at an unfulfilling job.
If you're anxious about the future, worried if anything will change….
maybe even uncertain if you're even on the right path and headed towards a dead end (scary place to end up – I've done it)
Maybe your like me and have this gut level belief you were destined for bigger and better things because you have a lot more to offer the world……
you aren't looking for an "easy out" card, just a more passionate path to day to day lifestyle…
and a heart-centered reason to get excited every morning….
….but you have no clear vision on how to escape your current nightmare.
causing these thoughts leave you feeling dizzy and confused…
Now, I want you take this drink…
...have a seat with me...
and imagine for a second what it would feel like to wake up one morning on a beach like this…
to realize you are 3, 5, even 8 months ahead on the bills.
You're living comfortably without financial stress.
Your body is challenged daily with fun and adventurous activities with your kids.
You have vacations booked often, typically every three to four months for 7-10 days at a time.
You live without any regret, passionately pursuing your heart's ambitions.
Knowing that your next three generations are set up for an immense and wonderful future due to the "BLESSING GENERATORS" you built to be passed on to them…..
mmmm feels good
Hey Tommy G here,
How's that drink?
Tasty huh, fresh lime is the best..
Im glad you landed on this page & made it this far…
because this is information can change your life.
During this "New Realm – New Adventure" series,
I'm going to share with you the core story of how I turned my misery as a stressed out and overworked medic into…
…a worry-free world traveling adventurepreneur in less than a year!
My journey began after having this one "Aha" moment from the most unlikely of places and what it might do for your life.
We will look at ALL the options you have right now to escape your nightmare, uncage your passions, and find a new realm of living.
It has been a interesting journey, let me start by taking you back to why I was so hesitant to step outside my comfort zone despite being COMPLETELY miserable everyday.
Maybe you can relate.

The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is a spectacle that can't be found in any other U.S. sport.
The inclusion of amateur teams in the competition creates storylines and Cinderella runs for teams that do not play daily and for players who have jobs outside of playing soccer.
Last year, Christos FC stole the hearts of soccer fans in America. The Baltimore-based side was named after a liquor store and made it to the fourth round of last season's tournament, scoring the opening free kick to take a 1-0 lead over D.C. United. In the end, D.C. defeated Christos 4-1, but the story was everywhere, including on ESPN with Scott van Pelt.
The North Texas Rayados of the North Texas Premier Soccer Association is this year's amateur darling. Unlike teams in Major League Soccer, which enter in the fourth round, teams like the Rayados must play a qualification tournament before the cup. It might be the fourth round, but overall the Rayados have played six do-or-die matches to get to this point.
Tito Salas is a player, coach and organizer for the NTX Rayados. He created the team in Fall 2011 to continue his passion for playing soccer with his friends. After receiving a sponsorship for the team, Salas asked the sponsor — a longtime fan of Mexico's Liga MX side C.F. Monterrey, commonly known as the Rayados — for a name as a token of appreciation. Salas added NTX to the beginning of the name for a geographical touch.
The team decided to register for the U.S. Open Cup in 2012 and has qualified for the tournament annually since. That's seven straight appearances. Salas says there was one goal for the side when it signed up for the tournament seven years ago: playing FC Dallas.
"We knew what the Open Cup was about before getting in," Salas said. "That's always been the goal. The goal has been that we want to play in the Open Cup, so we can play against FC Dallas. I grew up playing against Victor Ulloa. These are guys we used to be playing against four or five years ago. So for us, we can do it. We just have to get past a couple of good teams. That's where we were getting stuck previously. That was the mission."
NTX Rayados made it to the third round of the 2014 tournament, losing to the then San Antonio Scorpions 4-2 after grabbing a 2-0 lead. From that group, the team has added some younger faces but maintained a core group of players.
"From that roster [against San Antonio], we have eight or nine players that we still have," Salas said. "It's a base we've kept. The secret is the youth. We bring young players around us that are hard-working players. That's kind of how we maintained."
After the victory in the qualification tournament, the Rayados were pitted against the Fort Worth Vaqueros of the National Premier Soccer League. The game was a stalemate until the 114th minute, where Christian Okeke scored the game-winner to secure a 2-1 win for the Rayados.
It was the next match that changed the mindset and expectations of the squad, when the Oklahoma City Energy of the second-tier United Soccer League came to Richland College to play against the Rayados. The Rayados led 1-0 at halftime, but the Energy came back and scored two goals to give them the advantage late. The run seemed over, with the Rayados struggling to find a breakthrough and the game getting physical. It looked like the professional opponent would get its expected win.
That was until Christian Okeke came on and changed the game once again. He was taken down in the box in the 90th minute and put the ensuing penalty kick in the back of the net, sending the match into extra time for a second straight week.
"A lot of teams would have been like, hey we made it up here against a professional team," Rayados General Manager Antonio Rodriguez said. "We took them to extra time and we're cool with that. We actually went out there and we brought it to them in overtime."
The Rayados scored three goals in extra time to defeat the Energy 5-2. The overtime performance contradicted expectations in a match between an amateur and professional side. The amateurs came with energy and piled on pressure, while the Energy looked out of sorts.
The victory set them up with a match against F.C. Wichita of the NPSL. A win and the Rayados would pit themselves against an MLS side for the first time in the club's history.
"Especially after that OKC game, we still maintained the focus of one game at a time," Salas said. "But just keep in mind, if we win this next one, it's huge."
Going up 2-0 against Wichita, it looked bright for the Rayados. The team took the foot off the gas and Wichita struck back, scoring two goals in quick succession. The heroics of super-sub Okeke did it again, scoring in the 86th minute to give the team a spot in the fourth round.
"I think, with respect to Wichita's team, we got a little bit too confident with the 2-0 and we laid back, which we should have never done," Rodriguez said. "We delayed our substitutions a little bit, they should have been a little bit earlier. Okeke goes in there and we knew he was the solution, but we kind of waited until they scored the second goal. We should have kept that rhythm and momentum going and put Okeke in a little earlier."
There's something a bit different with this amateur side compared to others. The players have experience playing in big matches. Goalkeeper Eduardo Cortes was FC Dallas' third keeper last season and was apart of its youth setup growing up. Many players have played in the developmental academy, including Lucio Martinez, who played for the Houston Dynamo's academy.
"A lot of the players aren't new to playing at a big stadium," Rodriguez said. "[Jose Luis] Burciaga played in MLS. Pollo is fresh out of FC Dallas. We have a lot of players that, in one point of their lives, have played in some type of a stadium. It's not going to be a complete shocker, but it makes it a little bit more interesting, just the fact that you're going to be playing against an MLS team and that's what makes it interesting."
Burciaga also played in MLS, with the Kansas City Wizards. He won the Open Cup in 2004 and has provided a different dynamic for the Rayados, even at age 36.
"This year, one thing I have to point out is the leadership of Jose Luis Burciaga," Salas said. "That's just something we haven't had in the past six years. We gotta give credit to Jose because his leadership is a whole other level. He's just as excited as everyone and he has won the Open Cup. He's never played a first or second round game but he was just as excited and hungry as everyone else. That's powerful."
The opportunity to play against Houston is one the team is excited for, but the behind-the-scenes work is tedious. Players must take off work for the match and the management must keep track of finances. The team must also figure out funding to get to Houston and back. The United States Soccer Federation will cover up to $12,000 in expenses, but teams must pay it up front.
There have been fundraisers by Dallas-area fans. The Peticolas Brewing Company gave 10 percent of its profits to the Rayados for their trip to the match. Two FC Dallas supporter groups, the Dallas Beer Guardians and El Matador, donated their tailgate donations to the Rayados to help cover expenses.
"I never expected that," Salas said. "It makes me happy. It makes me feel like we mean something to them. We understand their FC Dallas supporters. Believe me, I played with FC Dallas growing up. My last year, I played with Francisco Molina. He was my coach at Richland College, so, I mean, we grew up around FC Dallas. We are FC Dallas. We don't have the name.
"For me to know they're still behind us even though there is a big possibility, just because of the geographic setting, that we'll play FC Dallas, that they're backing us up — that's important. It says a lot."
Wednesday will either mark the end of the Rayados' run or the continuation of something special. Whatever comes, Rodriguez said viewers of the match can expect a team that will not back down, even against an MLS side.
"They're gonna expect a hungry Rayados," Rodriguez said. We were expected to lose the first game, so we have nothing to lose. We're going out there and giving it our all.
"It won't be easy for them, I'll tell you that."

TIME TO RISE is a compilation/mixtape of heavy hitting artists, mostly from Houston (but Jasiri X pops up as well!) going in on the state of the nation/world we live in. I have said it before on here and I will say it again, this is the kind of rap I like. Every song on here is real. And it shows the side of Houston I came up around for real. I've said for years that Houston is about way more than just rims and grills, and I am so glad that in 2011 some of the other sides of that city are being exposed. K-Rino alone is reason enough to download and jam (and share) this CD, but man, wait till you hear Cl'che pour her heart out on "I Got a Feeling," the brothers D-Ology and Snap alongside K-Rino on my favorite song of all time (OF ALL TIME) "Aintcha," and K-Rino even dug up GANGSTA NIP with a new heater. - Matt Sonzala

text: 2012 Washington/Oregon Turkey Forecast Terry Otto - March 30, 2012 Will a big gobbler put a smile on your face this year? Mild weather this spring would certainly help overall success. Photo by Terry Otto. "Rotten!"That's the only word to describe the weather in the Northwest the last two springs in a row. 2010 was bad enough, but the spring of 2011 was even worse, with cold, wet weather persisting well into the summer months. The damp was hard on ground-nesting game birds, trashing the nesting success of grouse and pheasant. Understandably, wild turkey hunters in both Oregon and Washington are wondering if the same fate has befallen the turkey populations. Will gobblers be in short supply when the hunters head into the woods this year?First, these are big states, and both of them have diverse habitats and climates spread over wide geographic areas. Where the winters are harder, or the habitat is marginal, the birds did not fare as well. Where the climate is milder, or the food sources more consistent, the negative effects were much less. Second, wild turkeys nest later in the spring than any other upland bird, so their nesting season stretched into the better weather, and late broods found excellent conditions when they hatched. There may have been lower nesting production, but it may have been offset by better-than-usual brood survival. Whatever affects the weather had on the turkey population, it definitely depressed hunter effort. One thousand less hunters took to the woods for gobblers in Oregon in 2011, and spent almost 7,500 fewer days hunting than 2010. Hunters took 4,132 toms in Oregon last year, a big drop from the 5,437 gobblers taken in 2010. What follows is a breakdown of the different turkey flocks within Oregon and Washington, and how they have trended in recent years. While this may be a useful tool in deciding where to concentrate your efforts, keep in mind that the weather this spring may have more to do with your success, or lack of it.WASHINGTONTurkeys were first introduced into Washington in 1960, and now the Evergreen State offers hunters three subspecies of wild turkey spread through five main flocks. The birds are scattered through almost all the viable turkey habitat and hunters harvest over 5,000 gobblers every year. Basically, there are Merriam's turkeys in the northeast, central and south Klickitat regions. Rio Grandes can be found in the southeast, and Easterns can be found in the southwest.Northeast Washington — A Turkey BonanzaBy far the best hunting in the state takes place in northeast Washington. More birds are harvested in the tri-county area of Stevens, Pend Oreille and Ferry counties than the rest of the state combined. In spring of 2010, the latest year for which harvest figures are available, hunters here took 3,197 of the state's 5,700 gobblers. Joe McCanna, a wildlife biologist with the WDFW in region 1, explains that northwest harvests peaked here in 2007. "We had hard winters back to back in '07 and '08," says McCanna. "That dropped the birds a little." He explains that the last two springs didn't do much damage, but it held back a full recovery.Dale Denny, of Bear Paw Outfitters (509-684-6294; www.bearpawoutfitters.com), is a first-class guide who has hunted this corner of Washington for decades, and over the last three years his clients have taken over 500 Merriam's gobblers. From what he has seen in the woods, numbers are starting to rebuild. "The birds are recuperating from three poor years," says Denny. "We are actually seeing more chicks. But they still are not as good as a few years ago."Denny hunts on private ranches as well as the public lands, and he has noticed one negative. While there is a lot of public land in the northeast, it really gets pressured. "The WDFW has done a really good job of selling this region as a turkey hotspot," he says. "But that has put a lot of pressure on the birds on public lands. Over the years those public flocks have been decimated."Still, if the winter was not too bad, Denny is positive his clients will have another excellent season.Southeast Washington — Rio Grande CountryThe pine slopes of Washington's Blue Mountains are perfect habitat for open-country Rio Grande turkeys, and while the 700 gobblers taken here in 2010 is a far cry from the harvest to the north, the success rates are almost identical.A little less snow-prone than the northern counties, this flock has held up well. They are clustered along the river and creek bottoms and in the foothills within the Umatilla National Forest.The Blue Creek Unit is always one of the best, and hunters took 164 gobblers there in 2010. Dayton was even better, giving up 181 toms. The Tucanon and Prescott Units gave up 58 turkeys each.Columbia Gorge Toms — Doing Well, Thank YouDavid Anderson, a wildlife biologist with the WDFW, says that while the weather did hurt production of other upland species in this region, turkeys were affected less. "Of all our upland species, turkeys are the hardiest," says Anderson, "and they appear to be doing fine."He further asserts that this year's early fall was mild, and food sources in the woods were plentiful this winter. "There was a good acorn crop this year," he says. He expects hunters will find the usual number of toms in the woods when the birds start gobbling.This is one region where harvests continue to climb in all three units. In 2009, hunters took 448 toms. In 2010, the West Klickitat Unit alone provided 438 toms.Central Counties Merriam'sThe eastern slope of the Cascades is home to a far-spread flock of Merriam's turkeys that reaches from near the Canadian border south to the Yakima Indian Reservation. The birds are not found in high densities and are concentrated in the lowland river bottoms. Jeff Heinlen is an assistant district biologist for the WDFW in Region 2. When asked whether he thinks the flock was hurt by the weather, he admits that it may have been. "We believe it was," he says, "but we have no formal turkey studies. We think the last two years have hurt the population a little."Granted, especially in the northern stretch of the east Cascades, the birds here were never thick. Heinlen says the birds survive best where there is supplemental feed, such as stock feeding areas and birdfeeders. "We do not have oaks or a good source of hard mast for winter survival," he says. "That's the biggest limiting factor for the birds."Look to the river valleys such as the Methow and Wenatchee drainages, and search the nearby foothills. The upper Yakima Valley also has some birds.SW Washington's EasternsHunters looking for the Evergreen State Slam, which includes a Merriam's, a Rio Grande and an Eastern subspecies, will need to get lucky. The Eastern subspecies population of wild turkey in southwest Washington has never taken off. Habitat restrictions are the biggest limiting factor and the harvest is low, with only 71 Eastern toms taken in 2010 from a seven-county areaHowever, if you are intent on bagging an Eastern tom, you should look to clearcuts and the many tree farms in the southwest. Farmland and cropfield edges hold some birds, but with the densities so low, hunters will have to work hard for a mature tom.Oregon's forecast is on page two!OREGONOregon's gobblers are pretty much doing okay, in spite of the weather. Dave Budeau, the upland game bird coordinator for the ODFW, reports that while they do not do a comprehensive turkey population survey, the department does keep track of turkey sightings during other surveys. While there was a drop in harvest, he feels that it was more a result of poor spring weather than low bird numbers. "Certainly there was some loss of early production," he says, "but we are not far below our five-year average." Instead, Budeau believes the poor harvest was the result of weather and access. "When snow lingers on the northern exposures, it blocks the roads. Hunters can't get at the birds."Southwest Oregon — Wild Turkey CentralThe oak-covered hillsides of southwest Oregon are the center, the cradle, of the state's wild turkey population. From this population, birds have been trapped and transferred all over the state. A mixed population of Merriam's and Rios thrives in the oak woodlands, pastures and farmlands.At the very center are Douglas County and the Melrose Game Management Unit, where a huge chunk of the yearly harvest comes from. In fact, 4 of the 5 best GMU's for turkey harvest can be found here in the Southwest, with the Rogue, Applegate and Evens Creek units each producing good harvests. Between these four units, 1,203 turkeys were harvested, about 25 percent of the state total.Even here in "turkey central," the weather depressed success last year. In the Melrose Unit, harvest dropped by 200 gobblers from 2010, with 150 fewer hunters taking to the woods. The Applegate harvest was only 72 percent of the year before, and the Evens Creek harvest dropped by 34 percent.Other southwest units, such as the Alsea, Dixon and Siuslaw, are perennially among the best in the state.Mild Climate — Lots Of TurkeysThe climate in the southwest favors turkeys, and this flock enjoys the warmest winters of the two states. Between that and the plentiful winter food, turkeys here have done just fine.Tod Lum, the ODFW southwest region wildlife biologist, doesn't think hunters will notice any change. "They'll find plenty of birds," he says. "We weren't as hard hit as other areas. It's warmer, somewhat drier, and we have lots of good oak woods." The oaks provide acorns, an important winter food source for turkeys.Unfortunately, most of the Melrose Unit and Douglas County is in private hands, and public options are few.White River's Savvy TomsThe White River Unit in north-central Oregon consistently has the second-highest turkey harvest by unit. However, because of its close proximity to Portland, the hunting pressure is intense. The number of hunters drives the high harvest, but dilutes success rates, which are usually below 20 percent. These are educated birds and they can most certainly be tough to hunt.The flock centers on the east side of Mt. Hood, but the birds spread south almost to Bend. According to Jeremy Thompson, the district wildlife biologist, this flock was not hurt by weather. "We didn't have a lot of snow last year, and that helped," Thompson explains. "The weather hasn't really hurt the birds."One of the few units where harvest was higher in 2011, hunters took 381 toms in the White River Unit, up from 342 in 2010.Northeast Oregon — Public Lands GobblersThe pine-covered Blue Mountains and the Wallowa Mountains of northeast Oregon are home to a thriving population of wild turkeys. Harvests here are starting to rival those in the southwest parts of the state. Unlike Douglas County, there is plenty of public land to hunt up here. That is one of the reasons this region's popularity is growing with turkey hunters.Mike Hansen is the wildlife biologist for the Enterprise ODFW office. "We were seeing some young birds last summer," says Hansen "But the numbers are definitely down from a few years ago." Hansen also believes the reduced harvests in this area have been more a result of bad hunting conditions than a big drop in birds.The Sled Springs unit is one of the most popular, but harvest dropped from 189 toms in 2010 to 95 in 2011. However, the harvest in the Ukiah Unit jumped from 90 gobblers in 2010 to 173 in 2011. Other perennial producers in the northeast include the Wenaha and Mt Emily units. Also, success rates are good for the Walla Walla (61 percent) and Imnaha, (100 percent) units.The public land in the northeast counties is mostly on higher elevations, and when the snows linger the birds won't move off the private river bottoms up into the public lands until late in the season.Central Oregon's Ochoco TomsThe turkeys that inhabit the Ochoco and Malheur Mountains of central Oregon have filled most of the available habitat. However, spring weather really depressed harvests here in 2011, and popular units such as Desolation, Ochoco, Heppner and Northside all posted lower harvest totals and success rates than the season before.The Murderer's Creek Unit is always one of the best central units, and the harvest in 2011 was just 20 gobblers less than in 2010.Public lands options here are mostly higher elevation national forest lands, and late snows keep the birds on private river bottoms. Another cold, wet spring would undoubtedly have a negative effect on this spring's hunt.Weather Depending '¦The lesson to take away from this is that these wet springs affect hunters far more than they do the turkeys. With that in mind, we all need to cross our fingers '¦ and hope for sunshine and more sunshine when the toms turn on this spring.

*Big, spidery spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen Solo yet*
Star Wars aficionados were surprised when, at the conclusion of Solo: A Star Wars Story, red-faced, horn-headed Phantom Menace villain Darth Maul showed up via hologram to give a few ominous directives to Emilia Clarke's Qu'ira. Surprised, because the last film fans saw of the Sith he had just been cut in half by Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi. With the young Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) story only a few weeks away from a Blu-ray release, the fine folks over at IGN have the clip so you can relive Maul's return from the comfort of your own home.
The animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars fleshed out Maul's return to the land of the living, which included going bat-Sith insane and being outfitted with robotic spider legs. He eventually settling on the much more practical pair you can see (and hear) in Solo. Although he's still carrying around the double-bladed lightsaber that made Lucasfilm billions of dollars in 1999, Maul appears to have given up a full-time career in The Force for a grimier life of crime. Should Solo ever get a sequel—which is iffy at this point, considering the film's comparatively soft reception—we'd likely get a bit more answers as to how Maul found himself at the head of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate.
Check out the clip below. Solo will be released on Blu-ray September 25.
Here is the official synopsis for Solo:
Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in "Solo: A Star Wars Story," an all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy. Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo befriends his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and meets the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga's most unlikely heroes.

First of all, I want you to know that I LOVE your blog! And your philosophy about story and mindfulness. It's like we are soul sisters! (Actually I am old enough to be your mother so perhaps I should adjust that to 'soul family' !?!).

To me story is everything (my husband thinks I should have had 'story' as my middle name!
All my life I have used the power of story in all that I do... in my profession - I am a retired teacher-librarian and in my personal life - I am sailing around the world with my husband in our sailboat and I am recording it in both still photos and movie clips. When back in Canada we have been asked to present to various groups interested in our adventures and, of course, story plays a huge role in all of that!

To me mindfulness is an essential component of all that I do. In my photography it is as though I am part of the photo... part of the story. My presence is an essential ingredient of the story which is being captured. My photos are not just a picture of a disinterested bystander rather I attempt to focus and often have to refocus or find a different perspective on the subject at hand to record the moment...I hope that doesn't sound too ethereal.

Thank you so much for bringing mindfulness and story to our photography discussions.

Take care
CathyCathy (aka Catherine) and Bill (aka William)https://firstname.lastname@example.com

CodeceptJS is a modern end to end testing framework with a special BDD-style syntax. The test is written as a linear scenario of user's action on a site.
Feature('CodeceptJS demo'); Scenario('check Welcome page on site', (I) => { I.amOnPage('/'); I.see('Welcome'); });
Tests are expected to be written in ECMAScript 7.
Each test is described inside a
Scenario function with
I object passed into it. I object is an actor, an abstraction for a testing user. I is a proxy object for currently enabled Helpers.
CodeceptJS bypasses execution commands to helpers. Depending on helper enabled your tests will be executed differently. If you need cross-browser support you should choose Selenium-based WebDriverIO or Protractor, if you are interested in speed - use Chrome-based Puppeteer, or Electron-based Nightmare. Those engines can run tests in window mode or headlessly and doesn't require additional tools to be installed.
Here is the diagram of CodeceptJS architecture
All helpers share the same API so it's easy to migrate tests from one backend to other. However, because of difference in backends and their limitations, they are not guarantted to compatible between each other. For instance, you can't set request headers in WebDriverIO or Protractor, but you can do so in Puppteer or Nigthmare.
Please note, you can't run tests by different helpers at once. You can't use some APIs from WebDriverIO and some from Nightmare. You should pick one helper, as it definses how tests are executed. If requirements change it's easy to migrate to another, but don't use few helpers at once. It's just not possible.
A helper should be enabled in main config. Configuration (like base url) should be provided as well:
"helpers": { "WebDriverIO": { "url": "http://localhost", "browser": "chrome" } }
In this config config all methods of
I will be taken from
WebDriverIO helper.
Tests are written from user's perspective. There is an actor (represented as
I) which contains actions taken from helpers. A test is written as a sequence of actions performed y actor:
I.amOnPage('/'); I.click('Login'); I.see('Please Login', 'h1'); // ...
To list all available commands for current configuration run
codeceptjs list or enable auto-completion by generating TypeScript definitions.
For most helpers basic actions like
clickare the same. Proceed to Acceptance Testing Chapter to learn how to use them.
Tests are written in synchronous way. This improves readability and maintainability of tests. While writing tests you should not think about promises. You should focus on test scenario.
However, behind the scene all actions are wrapped in promises inside the
I object. Global promise chain is initialized before each test and all
I.* calls will be appended to it as well as setup and teardown.
If you want to get information from a running test you can use
await inside async function and special methods of helpers started with
grab prefix.
Scenario('try grabbers', async (I) => { let title = await I.grabTitle(); });
then you can use those variables in assertions:
var title = await I.grabTitle(); var assert = require('assert'); assert.equal(title, 'CodeceptJS');
To launch tests use
run command. To execute tests in multiple browsers or multiple threads use
To see step-by-step output of running tests, add
--steps flag:
codeceptjs run --steps
To see more detailed output add
--debug flag:
codeceptjs run --debug
To see very detailed output system use
--verbose flag:
codeceptjs run --verbose
A single test file can be executed if you provide a relative path to such file:
codeceptjs run github_test.js # or codeceptjs run admin/login_test.js
To filter a test by name use
--grep parameter. Which will execute all tests with names matching the regex pattern.
To run all tests with
slow word in it
codeceptjs run --grep "slow"
It is recommended to filter tests by tags.
For more options see full reference of
CodeceptJS allows to write and debug tests on the fly while keeping your browser opened. By using interactive shell you can stop execution at any point and type in CodeceptJS commands.
This is especially useful while writing a new scratch. After opening a page call
pause() to start interacting with a page:
I.amOnPage('/'); pause();
Try to perform your scenario step by step. Then copy succesful commands and insert them into a test.
Test execution can be paused in any place of a test with
pause() call.
This launches interactive console where you can call actions of
I object.
Interactive shell started Press ENTER to resume test - Use JavaScript syntax to try steps in action - Press TAB twice to see all available commands - Enter next to run the next step I.click
Type in different actions to try them, copy valid successful ones to test, update the test file.
ENTER to resume test execution.
To debug test step-by-step type
next and press Enter. The next step will be executed and interactive shell will be shown again.
To see all available commands press TAB two times to see list of all actions included in I.
If a test is failing you can prevent browser from closing by putting
pause() command into
After() hook. This is very helpful to debug failing tests. This way you can keep the same session and try different actions on a page to get the idea what went wrong.
Interactive shell can be started outside the test context by running
codeceptjs shell
By default CodeceptJS saves a screenshot of a failed test. This can be configured in screenshotOnFail Plugin
To see how the test was executed, use stepByStepReport Plugin. It saves a screenshot of each passed step and shows them in a nice slideshow.
Common preparation steps like opening a web page, logging in a user, can be placed in
Before or
Background hook:
Feature('CodeceptJS Demonstration'); Before((I) => { // or Background I.amOnPage('/documentation'); }); Scenario('test some forms', (I) => { I.click('Create User'); I.see('User is valid'); I.dontSeeInCurrentUrl('/documentation'); }); Scenario('test title', (I) => { I.seeInTitle('Example application'); });
Same as
Before you can use
After to run teardown for each scenario.
If you need to run complex setup before all tests and teardown this afterwards you can use
BeforeSuite and
AfterSuite functions.
BeforeSuite and
AfterSuite have access to
I object, but
BeforeSuite/AfterSuite don't have an access to the browser because it's not running at this moment. You can use them to execute handlers that will setup your environment.
BeforeSuite/AfterSuite will work only for a file where it was declared (so you can declare different setups for files)
BeforeSuite((I) => { I.syncDown('testfolder'); }); AfterSuite((I) => { I.syncUp('testfolder'); I.clearDir('testfolder'); });
Here are some ideas where to use BeforeSuite hooks.
To specify the exact area on a page where actions can be performed you can use
within function. Everything executed in its context will be narrowed to context specified by locator:
within('section', ()=>{})
I.amOnPage('https://github.com'); within('.js-signup-form', () => { I.fillField('user[login]', 'User'); I.fillField('user[email]', 'firstname.lastname@example.com'); I.fillField('user[password]', 'firstname.lastname@example.com'); I.click('button'); }); I.see('There were problems creating your account.');
within can also work with iframes
When running steps inside a within block will be shown with a shift:
Within can return a value which can be used in a scenario:
// inside async function const val = await within('#sidebar', () => { return I.grabTextFrom({ css: 'h1' }); }); I.fillField('Description', val);
There is a simple way to add additional comments to your test scenario. Use
say command to print information to screen:
I.say('I am going to publish post'); I.say('I enter title and body'); I.say('I expect post is visible on site');
If you are using Visual Studio Code or other IDE that supports TypeScript Definitions, you can generate step definitions with
codeceptjs def
Now you should include
/// <reference path="./steps.d.ts" /> into your test files to get method autocompletion while writing tests.
Like in Mocha you can use
x and
only to skip tests or making a single test to run.
xScenario - skips current test
Scenario.only - executes only the current test
If you have a step which often fails you can retry execution for this single step. Use
retry() function before an action to ask CodeceptJS to retry this step on failure:
If you'd like to retry step more than once pass the amount as parameter:
Additional options can be provided to retry so you can set the additional options (defined in promise-retry library).
// retry action 3 times waiting for 0.1 second before next try I.retry({ retries: 3, minTimeout: 100 }).see('Hello'); // retry action 3 times waiting no more than 3 seconds for last retry I.retry({ retries: 3, maxTimeout: 3000 }).see('Hello'); // retry 2 times if error with message 'Node not visible' happens I.retry({ retries: 2, when: err => err.message === 'Node not visible' }).seeElement('#user');
Pass a function to
when option to retry only when error matches the expected one.
You can auto-retry a failed step by enabling retryFailedStep Plugin.
When you need to rerun scenarios few times just add
retries option added to
Scenario declaration.
CodeceptJS implements retries the same way Mocha do; You can set number of a retries for a feature:
Scenario('Really complex', (I) => { // test goes here }).retry(2); // alternative Scenario('Really complex', { retries: 2 }, (I) => {});
This scenario will be restarted two times on a failure.
To set this option for all scenarios in a file, add retry to a feature:
Feature('Complex JS Stuff').retry(3);
Every Scenario inside this feature will be rerun 3 times. You can make an exception for a specific scenario by passing
retries option to a Scenario.

Review: Butterflies of Bill Baker (2013)
A review of Butterflies of Bill Baker
Bad dreams and bad behaviour go hand in hand in Butterflies of Bill Baker, a modest indie film about a handsome classic car salesman struggling to a get a decent night's sleep. It is a confusingly jaunty tale of identity crisis, insomnia and adoption, set in the idyllic suburbs of upstate New York.
Writer and director Sania Jhankar has taken the Swiss Army knife approach to filmmaking, sending the affable and nature loving, forty-something Bill Baker, on a filmic odyssey. First up, it's a slice of Don't Look Now that permeates Bill's opening nightmare, hinting at a water-related tragedy, which ended his happy marriage. Next, it's a dash of American Beauty as a disaffected Bill jogs through life, failing to connect with the suburbanites around him. Finally, it's a pinch of Kramer vs. Kramer as Bill, bordering on a mental breakdown, is paired up with a pre-teen, by a pushy soccer mom, hoping to land the town's most eligible bachelor.
At times this blending of genres leaves the lingering question: "If a butterfly flaps its wings will this story ever make sense?" But it is hard to fault Jhankar's ambition at trying to wrangle these twisting plot lines into a coherent narrative, which is ever so neatly tied up by Bill's off-grid locum, who has an accent thicker than wallpaper paste.
Will Chase is given a real acting workout playing the fractured Bill, committing to the slightly creaky dialogue with an air of true professionalism. And the rest of the cast gamely throws themselves into each new twist and turn, with a surprising amount of consistency.
It is hard to shake off the feeling that this is an NYU film grad's thesis project blown up to a grander scale. There are moments that sparkle like Bill dismissing a finicky customer by pouring too much milk into his coffee. And others that fall woefully flat like Bill's reconciliation with his ex-wife. Sadly, the see-sawing tone and spaghetti junction of plots undercuts the film's dramatic momentum, and by the final frame it feels more moth-like than majestic butterfly.

Project Description
Originally constructed by Holabird and Root in 1942, the plaza was renovated in the 1970s to improve access by removing almost all stairs to create a long ramp. However, this altered the intended relationship between the building and its courtyard plaza. When these earlier renovations began to show their age—including water and root damage and overgrown trees and shrubs which obscured the building and gave a dark appearance to the plaza—Hitchcock Design Group and the project team were commissioned to design and document the plaza renovation. This included the replacement of pavers, installation of new plant material, addition of pedestrian and effect lighting, repair of stone walls as needed, and the restoration of the original stairs-and-terrace vocabulary where possible while still providing ADA accessibility. The plan also provides bicycle parking and message boards so students have an alternative to taping promotional fliers on the pavers. In addition, the renovated plaza is designed to accommodate small event tents and student functions.
Let's build a relationship that helps you reach your planning and landscape architecture goals.
"They work in a very collaborative manner in discussions and presentations. They make sure you fully understand it. If there are any questions at all, they can help you with it."
"Some architects will just say 'how dare you!' but Hitchcock encourages changes. Relationships and creativity is what it boils down to—it's why I like them the best and what sets them apart from others."
"They've earned our trust. They listen to us and come back with solutions that really meet our needs. They let you start to dream …"
"Communication, creativity, meeting timeliness, meeting institutional expectations; we're not an easy client. Hitchcock goes out of their way to work with us."
"Hitchcock thinks beyond straight lines and 90-degree angles."
"With Hitchcock, I felt like they really went above and beyond, and they're extremely responsive. They take more of a leadership role, which is helpful, especially with a complicated project."
"One of Hitchcock's strengths is the amount of work they put in when they're getting to know a community. They show you they really understand the issues your community is considering. They're very thorough in their approach. It's clear they've done their homework."
"What keeps coming back to me is their willingness, their ability, and their responsiveness to help manage the situation at hand."
"Hitchcock goes out of their way to make sure they're responsive, helpful, and doing things that aren't necessarily their responsibility. They're just all-around quality. Any project that I do going forward they will always, always be included in my RFP, whether it's city or suburban."
"Their work comes with a level of empathy with the user to say 'it's more than plants. How can this be an uplifting space? How can this invigorate someone?' That's different. That's unique."

Pure and crystal clear water is the lifeline of the universe. All of us know the importance of hydration but have you ever stopped and thought about the benefits of water? Let us take a dive into the benefits of water. You will be amazed to know the plethora of benefits it has to offer.
1. Calorie control
Forget other diet tricks – drinking water could also help with weight loss. Numerous studies have found a connection between water consumption and losing a few pounds. The secret reason? Water simply helps people feel full, and as a result consume fewer calories.
2. Muscle fuel
Sweating at the gym causes muscles to lose water. And when the muscles don't have enough water, they get tired. So for extra energy, try drinking water to push through that final set of squats.
3. Clearer skin
Certain toxins in the body can cause the skin to inflame, which results in clogged pores and acne . While science saying water makes the skin wrinkle free is contradictory, water does flush out these toxins and can reduce the risk of pimples.
4. Hangover help
If booze has got the best of you, help a hangover with a glass of water to hydrate the body and stop that pounding headache.
5. Keep things flowing
Nobody wants to deal with digestion issues. Luckily, drinking enough water adds fluids to the colon which helps make things, ahem, move smoothly.
6. Sickness fighter
Water may help with decongestion and dehydration, helping the body bounce back when feeling under the weather. Just beware—drinking fluids hasn't been scientifically proven to beat colds in one swoop, so don't swap this for a trip to the doctor or other cold remedies.
7. Brain boost
A study in London found a link between students bringing water into an exam room and better grades, suggesting H2O promotes clearer thinking. While it's unclear if drinking the water had anything to do with a better score, it doesn't hurt to try it out!
8. Kidney function
Our kidneys process 200 quarts of blood daily, sifting out waste and transporting urine to the bladder. Yet, kidneys need enough fluids to clear away what we don't need in the body. Let's drink to that!
9. Fluid balance
Roughly 60 percent of the body is made of water. Drinking enough H2O maintains the body's fluid balance, which helps transport nutrients in the body, regulate body temperature, digest food, and more.
10. Productivity boost
In order to really focus, a glass of water could help people concentrate and stay refreshed and alert.

Uganda's Finance minister presents $8bn budget
Thursday June 8 2017
Uganda's Ush29 trillion ($8 billion) budget for the 2017/18 financial year will be read Thursday by Finance minister Matia Kasaija at the Serena International Conference Centre in Kampala.
President Yoweri Museveni is also expected to attend the annual budget reading ceremony at the Serena hotel where members of the Uganda Parliament are gathered.
Here are some highlights:
Economic growth
Uganda's economy is projected to grow at 3.9 per cent this year, lower than the 5.5 per cent initially forecasted, says Keith Muhakanizi, a Treasury official.
Ramathan Ggoobi, an economics lecturer at Makerere University Business School (MUBS) says drought, low commodity prices in the global market, and war in South Sudan -- a larger buyer for Ugandan goods-- are some of the causes of the slow economic growth.
Budget allocations
The education sector will get 11 per cent of the national budget.
Agriculture to take 3.9 per cent of the budget, while health sector to get 8 per cent.
Amos Lugoloobi, Parliament's Budget Committee chairman, says there are eight government priorities areas including:
- Increasing agricultural production and productivity,
- Private sector development for export promotion and import substitution,
- Lowering production costs through infrastructure development,
- Boosting domestic revenue mobilisation,
- Intensifying fight against corruption,
- Human resource development,
- Affordable long-term credit for private sector, and
- Energy and road infrastructure development to enable oil production by 2020.

The chisels crafted by master smith Shibano in Miki City are meticulously designed to the last detail. The cutting edge layer consists of blue paper steel (Aogami), a low-alloy carbon steel known for good sharpenability, high edge retention and a (user-dependent) opportunity to achieve exceptional sharpness. The hardness is 64 to 65 HRC. The soft backing layer consists of repeatedly folded strips of steel (Suminagashi) that give these chisels their highly decorative appearance. The handle made of white oak protrudes approx. 1 to 2 mm beyond the striking ferrule so that a hammer will only strike wood. Single ura (hollow ground surface) on the rake face for all sizes. These chisels are forged and ground by hand, which may result in small deviations in the width of the blades. Like all Japanese chisels they must be sharpened and honed before you use them for the first time. The blades are all between 220 and 225 mm long and like most other Japanese blades they are also set at a slight angle to the tool axis to let you to chisel deeper into the wood than the blade is long.
One notable aspect of Shibano's chisels is that they have a somewhat thinner cross section than standard blades. This is especially noticeable on wider blades. For example, a 30 mm Shibano blade is 3.5 mm thick where the bevel starts, while a standard blade is 5 mm thick at that point. On narrow blades the difference is appreciably less: just 4 mm on a 12 mm blade compared to 4.5 mm on a standard blade. The thinner blades make it easier to work in tight places, but any levering action should be avoided because of the risk of fracture.
