Former vice president Annette Lu (呂秀蓮) has denied local media reports that she penned a statement believed to be aimed at senior opposition party figures, saying yesterday that it was "written by an assistant with divine inspiration."
Lu, a member of the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) Central Executive Committee, sought to downplay her connection with the statement released by her office on Tuesday, which accused the party of "overly beautifying one person."
Written at the same time the DPP is mulling its selection process for the 2012 presidential election, the statement was widely seen as criticism of DPP Chairperson Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文), acknowledged as one of the frontrunners for the party's nomination.
"The DPP should fix an impasse where it is dominated by one faction and [set on] overly beautifying one person," the statement said. "Instead, [the party] should create a set of nomination procedures that are fair, open and reasonable."
Asked about the statement, Lu maintained that she was not the author, but refused to say whether she agreed with the content. Instead, she suggested that her assistant's comments were open to interpretation.
Lu is believed to be unhappy with speculation that Tsai could soon announce a run for president, despite losing the Sinbei City special municipality election last month.
Following the poll results, she questioned why the DPP could not seem to "find a better candidate" for the presidential election and said she did not understand why the media continued to portray Tsai as a possible candidate.
Asked about the statement following a meeting with Lu and other members of the Central Executive Committee, Tsai said she had not seen the statement, but highlighting the apparently fragile relationship between the two, Tsai stressed that she had made a point of going over to the former vice president to "give her a greeting" prior to the meeting, held to discuss the timing and format of the party's upcoming annual party congress.
In other developments, senior party officials yesterday confirmed that the party's national congress would take place on Jan. 22 at the Taipei International Convention Center. The event is believed to be one of the most important events to be held by the party next year.
A task force has been set up by the party to organize the congress, comprising several senior party members, including former premier Frank Hsieh (謝長廷), the party's presidential candidate in 2008.

A representative told Kotaku:
"Capcom is planning to release Gyakuten Saiban 5 (Ace Attorney 5) in the West. We'll have more news soon."
Nothing else was shared beyond this. But never the less very exciting news for all fans.
I got an email this morning from Nintendo PR. I still don't get the good news of a concert date announced for my home state and city. But for all you lucky ducks here is the email:
"REDMOND, Wash.– "The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Tour" is coming soon to even more locations across the United States and Canada. Based on one of the most popular and beloved video game series of all time, the tour features live orchestral performances of theme music from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda franchise. The newly announced dates include:
Sept. 15: Toronto; Sony Centre for the Performing Arts
Sept. 22: Minneapolis; Orpheum Theatre
Oct. 12: Dallas; AT&T Performing Arts Center
Oct. 18: Boston; Wang Theatre
Oct. 25: Chicago; The Chicago Theatre
Nov. 3: San Antonio; The Majestic Theatre
Nov. 6: Calgary, Alberta; Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

Dec. 8: West Palm Beach, Fla.; Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts

In celebration of the tour, the Nintendo World store in Rockefeller Plaza in New York will host a special event on Friday, Sept. 14, from 6-9 p.m. From 6-6:45 p.m., ocarina expert David "Docjazz" Ramos will lead an interactive workshop, introducing fans and newcomers to the history of the instrument. From 7-8 p.m., an intimate mini-concert will be performed, featuring a small musical ensemble. From 8- 9 p.m., attendees can interact with David Ramos and the concert musicians. Event attendees can also take photos with Link cosplay model Li Kovacs and purchase official "Symphony of the Goddesses" merchandise. The first consumers to enter the event will receive a special concert pack that includes a T-shirt, poster and an ocarina to use during the ocarina workshop.
The name "Symphony of the Goddesses" refers not only to the concert program but also to the new four-movement symphony recounting the classic storylines from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The concert also will highlight orchestral renditions of music from other series games, including The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The full orchestra will be conducted by Eímear Noone with arrangements by music director Chad Seiter.
"We are thrilled to bring this unprecedented and exhilarating tour to fans across the U.S. and Canada," notes Jason Michael Paul, CEO of Jason Michael Paul Productions, which is producing the concert tour. "From children to adults who have followed The Legend of Zelda for decades, the fan base for this concert is growing exponentially, and we are ready to deliver an unforgettable experience."
Fans can view a complete tour schedule with ticketing information and also sign up for a regularly updated digital newsletter at http://zelda-symphony.com. Club Nintendo also is offering a discount to the shows—users just need to register at the Club Nintendo site and enjoy an exclusive 15 percent discount by logging into their accounts at http://club.nintendo.com and clicking on the "Symphony of the Goddesses" logo banner.

Since first appearing in 1986, The Legend of Zelda game series has sold more than 69 million units worldwide. The latest entries in the series, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for Nintendo 3DS and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Wii console, have both sold more than 1 million copies in North America since launching last year. Additionally, on Jan. 29, 2013, Nintendo and Dark Horse Books will release Hyrule Historia, a hardback book chronicling the history of The Legend of Zelda series. Featuring never-before-seen concept art, the full history of Hyrule, the official chronology of the game and insights from developers that have worked on the series, the book is currently available for pre-order via select retailers (deposit may be required for pre-order).

Pisum sativum (Snow Pea)
Pisum sativum - This pea is also known as "mangetout" peas. The pea is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the pod fruit Pisum sativum. Each pod contains several peas, which can be green or yellow. Pea pods are botanically fruit since they contain seeds and develop from the ovary of a (pea) flower. The name is also used to describe other edible seeds. Pisum sativum is an annual plant, with a life cycle of one year. It is a cool-season crop grown in many parts of the world. The average pea weighs between 0.1 and 0.36 gram. The immature peas (and in snow peas the tender pod as well) are used as a vegetable, fresh, frozen or canned; varieties of the species typically called field peas are grown to produce dry peas like the split pea shelled from the matured pod. These are the basis of pease porridge and pea soup, staples of medieval cuisine. Family : Fabaceae

Following the advice of the Vice President is not supposed to get you arrested, but that's exactly happened to one Washington man who is refusing to back off his claims that Joe Biden is responsible for his arrest.
Back in July we reported on this story involving a Vancouver, Washington man who was arrested for following Joe Biden's advice by firing a shotgun in the air to scare off 3 people who were trying to break into his car at 3am.
Well now it seems that Jeffrey Barton is not backing down from his comments asking for Joe Biden to apologize for his arrest. Barton still plans to plead not guilty and has refused a plea deal. He wants to take this case before a jury.
If you remember Joe Biden gave the advice to buy a shotgun and fire a couple blasts in the air to scare off any possible intruders.
When Barton was first arrested he said that he was doing exactly what the Vice President said to do. Under his jacket in court, Barton wore a t-shirt that said "Joe Biden Owes Me".
According to Columbian.com,
Although Barton said the Prosecuting Attorney's Office has offered him a plea deal, he said that he will not admit wrongdoing.
"I wouldn't be pushing this hard if I thought I had any guilt," he said. "I was protecting my family. I was within my Second Amendment right. I chose not to take a life that night. I fired my gun in the air."
Barton also said that the whole issue could have been avoided if the Clark County Sheriff's Office would have listened to neighbors' complaints about a nearby drug house.

We hope you've enjoyed your day. We're thankful for you.
Thank you,
Kayla and Sonya
Good evening Lovelies,
As emotional as I've been, today was a good day. Just goes to show that it will be all over in the morning. Have a great night.
Good evening Lovelies,
Have you ever had an emotional week? I have and in yourself drained. I'm thankful and I feel blessed, but I'm also hurt. It's so much going on but as I posted earlier about the coal, pressure makes it the diamond.
I hope you're gearing up for an awesome weekend and holiday season.
Be good.
~ Sonya
Good evening Lovelies,
I'm back again...
Today has been awesome, it's my Mom's birthday and I had an awesome day celebrating with her. My Mom is so relaxed and laid back, totally a family person. All my Mom wanted was her family together and we had a pizza party. It was great seeing my family and this is always a motivating prelude for the holidays.
On a different note, my change is coming. I'm destined for greatness and I'm coming into my season. I will definitely be making some changes. I know I have some areas I need to improve and some new areas I need to explore.
I will share what I'm doing and what's going on...be on the lookout.
Be good,
Good evening Lovelies,
Excuse me while I dust and clean up the blog...need to spray some air freshener, open some windows, turn on the heat...
I know, I know...shame on me, well actually shame on us (I'm including Kayla too, lol). It's been a while but we're back. I know we disappeared and neither of us have a good reason but like I said we're back.
I know holidays always put me in the sharing mood, the positive mode, the creative zone, and the hopeful lane.
I believe I'm stepping in my season of change. It's time for me to reflect on this year. I have a little over a month to accomplish goals I set for the year. It's also time for me to focus on where I want to be next year.
Well I don't want to wear you out with my return post but I will ask that you stop by tomorrow to hear more.
Here are a couple selfies until tomorrow.
Have an awesome night and be good.
Happy 5th Birthday Baby.
Good evening Lovelies,
Yesterday was my Baby's birthday and I'm the proud mom of a 5 year old...so excited.
I wanted to share some pictures from his fifth birthday photo shoot yesterday.
Good evening Lovelies,
Usually I post multiple pictures for Motivational Monday however today it's just one. I hope this picture motivates you to invest in yourself.
Have a great evening and be good.
Good evening Lovelies,
*hangs head in shame* I know I haven't posted and my apologies but no excuses. I'm back!!! It's no challenges this week however I need to prep for my Baby's birthday.
Don't want to keep you long so I'll post a couple of pictures.
Good evening Lovelies,
I know a lot of schools / classes have already begun but tomorrow is the first day for my son.
Here's are prayers for all students, teachers, parents, and anyone else involved.
It's the first day of school, Lord.
It's a big day for all of us. Students full of questions and doubts and excitement. Teachers full of ideas and plans and dreams. Mommas full of all the emotions.
Protect our babies, Lord.Whether it's the first day of kindergarten or middle school, or college, those students are our children. And we want today to be full of good things. Let them make friends and reach out to those who are lonely. Give them attentive minds and caring hearts. Use our babies, God, to be a blessing to others.
Bless the teachers, God. These men and women who have committed to invest in the next generation. Give them discernment and wisdom to see each student's unique abilities and gifts. Multiply their preparation and may their plans be fruitful. Fill the day with moments of wonder. Remind them of their special place in the lives of their students and give them confidence in their abilities as teachers.
And for all the mommas, Lord, a prayer for peace. Give us plenty to do so we don't have time to fret. Let us be extraordinarily grateful for the privilege of parenting. Fill us with wisdom as we watch out babies grow. Grant us patience and kindness as they stretch their wings. Hold us close to You as we learn to let them go.
It's the first day of school, Lord.
Watch over all of us — students, teachers, and moms. Guard our hearts. Focus our minds. Draw us to You.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
(This prayer was copied from a blog http://www.terilynneunderwood.com, please visit and subscribe)
...make this world a better place if you can.
Good evening Lovelies,
Happy Sunday and Labor Day Weekend!!! I owe you all an update so let me fill you in. I'm going to share about back to school time, the weather, what happened to the challenge, what's in the works and goals.
Can you believe school begins Tuesday? I know it's late for some states but the children will head out for their first day Tuesday. I'm excited and nervous. I have a kindergartener going to a new school all day and I don't know the teacher. Well I don't know her yet. School is beginning and I believe my son is ready, he's better than me. Pray for all the children, all over the world, that it's a safe and productive year. Pray for the teachers / instructors / administrators that will be dedicated, caring, and responsible for our babies during the day.
Now about this weather, I hope you're enjoying our extended summer in Detroit. This weather feels great and I'm loving it. The down side of fabulous weather is that I'm NOT retiring my white yet. Yes, you will see me in white.
The update on the challenge is that I neglected it half way through the week because it was so hot. My plaid is warmer so I looked out of place and of season. I will revisit this challenge once it's cooler.
Exciting challenges are coming soon so be the lookout. Subscribe or follow us on social media so you're up to date.
Finally our goals...we believe we can have 500 subscribers on our YouTube channel so if you have not, please take a moment to subscribe.
Thank you,

Excerpt from Louisville Sierra Club member Drew Foley's report. Drew's full write-up is in the August issue of The Cumberland.
"I wanted to march to protest MTR, the virtual rape of Earth which is occurring in my home state and all over Appalachia. Also, for years I had been asking: If we can mass thousands of people in DC, to rally against MTR, why can't we do the same at an actual site? This was my chance; I felt morally bound to go…."
" As we walked through the few small towns, there were always signs saying things like "Tree huggers go home," "Friends of coal," and "MTR supports my family." But there were also signs of support like "Welcome Blair Mountain Marchers." I recall only four instances of vocal counter-protesting from small groups. We were constantly reminded by the peacekeeping team, "Don't engage!" and we didn't."
"I estimate that 75% of the marchers and 90% of the organizers were under age 25. Our fate was in the hands of the young, and they performed magnificently. The organizers operated by consensus, which made for long waits, but good decisions. As a 60-year old, I was impressed with the youth culture of today. It was amazingly open-hearted, patient, accepting. I felt like I was the only one feeling uncomfortable due to lack of creature comforts. If the young folks at the march are at all representative of U.S. youth in general, then I have much hope…."
One final thing: The organizers' vision of environmental, preservation, and labor union participation was brilliant. I believe the march would have been much less successful had it addressed MTR alone. This is a good reminder that care for Earth is inextricably linked with environmental and social justice.

The salon specialises in Endermologie, which is extremely popular in France where there's a salon practically on every high street. Unlike many treatments, this one is backed by serious scientific studies. Endermologie tackles the connective tissue beneath the skin with a gentle massage machine that has dozens of different protocols.
The Endermolift facial uses the same technology specially adapted for the face. A study showed that it's the only technique in the world capable of stimulating the natural production of hyaluronic acid by an increase of +80%* without the use of injectable sources.
Sounded good to me, particularly as Sue uses the respected SkinCeuticals range in her salon.
The Midas Touch
After a cleanse and exfoliation, Sue put her magic machine to work. The "probe" makes a cute chugging little sound which is quite relaxing, and the treatment tackles different areas. My facial was intended for lifting and firming. Sue explained how the treatment also increases the natural production of collagen as well as elastin in the skin cells. If you've been having other treatments, it enhances the results of Dermal fillers, Botox and Mesotherapy. Importantly for me, it reduces the appearance of dark circles and eye bags and smoothes wrinkles. I like the fact it is a 100% natural, non-invasive, non surgical treatment.
Sue is one of the most highly qualified LPG practitioners in the country (LPG is the French company behind Endermologie), holding the Advanced Expert LPG Practitioner Certification.
After the relaxing treatment, a gold colloidal mask was applied - the final Midas touch!
Afterwards I could definitely see the lifting effect, and my skin was glowing. This is me without any make-up. My jaw line is a little more defined, my eyes are lifted and the dark circles underneath are diminished.

Our Bespoke approach to Training
It is important to be flexible and understand individuals' needs and learning styles when working with people of different roles. We are able to deliver the training in a way that considers people's different learning styles, including the consideration of the diverse nature of visual and statistical information.
We find this to be of great benefit in building a closer working relationship, which is vital in the sessions we carry out. We like to get everyone involved and not just talk at people, so we will often work in small groups and encourage discussion. By working in this way it helps create a bespoke experience that suits the group's unique needs.

Food connoisseurs are continuously on the hunt for new food fads to delight their sophisticated palates. The latest craze blends food with science using something normally found in laboratories – liquid nitrogen. Chefs are combining the two to create delightful concoctions which dazzle the senses and make your mouth want to cry from sheer happiness.
Not for the beginner, liquid nitrogen does come with a warning label. It requires special handling and training. With a temperature below three hundred Fahrenheit, chefs need gloves, goggles, and special gear to handle this substance which can cause skin burns and suffocation.
So why take the risk? Well, when used right the outcome of this unusual pairing creates delicacies that are rocking the culinary world. Chefs are discovering new flavor combinations and techniques every day. One can say they are the Marco Polos of this gastronomic revolution.
The process used is fascinating and can be seen in this video. After donning the right equipment, the chef whips out a large metal jug he refers to as a vacuum dewar. Up until this moment, you feel like you are watching an episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy. Then the real fun begins.
Using three bright oranges, the chef covers the fruit with liquid nitrogen allowing it to freeze to an unimaginable negative 321 degrees Fahrenheit. As the gas flows over the food, the chef goes over the nuances of working with nitrogen.
Once frozen the chef smashes the fruit while warning viewers not to eat it at this stage as the gas will cause mouth sores. The oranges need to warm up first. They look like small pieces of confetti.
Next, the chef turns mint into a powder. Wielding culinary magic, he creates a hybrid crème brule dessert that looks amazingly decadent on the video topped with the oranges and mint powder.Not only is this process fun to watch, but the result is pleasing to the eye.
Liquid nitrogen has expanded the possibilities for chefs allowing them to bridge new gaps and experiment with texture and flavor. This technique has opened a door serious gourmands are grateful for. Full of endless potential, this food revolution delights both the senses and palate.

It wasn't a garden variety win at Kates Gymnasium on Saturday (Jan. 19) afternoon for Ashland University's women's basketball team.
In a 98-65 victory on Saturday, the No. 6-ranked Eagles not only improved to 17-1 overall and 9-1 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, they also moved into a first-place tie in the GLIAC South Division standings, thanks to Northern Michigan's 56-43 home win over No. 9 Grand Valley State on Saturday.
"That was fun, especially in the second half," said Ashland assistant coach Stephanie Gehlhausen. "We gave up 26 points in the first quarter, then to give up 28 points the entire second half, it's just a credit to our defense and our pressure."
Saturday's game also was significant for a record-tying performance. Junior guard Renee Stimpert tied the AU women's hoops record for most assists in a game with 15, a record originally set by Alyssa Miller at Tiffin on Feb. 23, 2013. What may have been even more impressive was Stimpert had 15 assists to just one turnover in the win.
"They're putting the ball in the hoop, and I'm having fun out there," said Stimpert. "I try to not turn the ball over. That's my job."
Another Eagle junior, forward Sara Loomis, nearly tied the program record for blocks in a game – and was close to the program's second all-time triple-double. Loomis ended the afternoon with 20 points, 14 rebounds and eight blocked shots, while making 7-of-9 from the floor and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line.
"It's been fun, just with my teammates. They set me up with the defense we run," Loomis said.
1. Ashland finished with six double-digit scorers in the victory over the Timberwolves. Junior guard/forward Jodi Johnson had 18 points and seven rebounds, sophomore forward Karlee Pireu added 16 points, and freshman guard Hallie Heidemann and senior guards Maddie Dackin and Brooke Smith all chipped in with 11 points each.
2. In a complete offensive performance, the Eagles shot 55.6 percent from the field, 44.0 percent from 3-point range and 17-of-19 from the free-throw line. Ashland also had 24 assists on 35 made field goals, and turned the ball over just 10 times.
3. Defensively, the Eagles allowed just 39 points over the last three quarters, and in the second and third periods combined, Northwood missed 30 of 38 field-goal attempts.
4. Ashland has won 10 straight games, 49 games in a row at home, eight in a row overall over Northwood, and 36 in a row in the month of January.
5. It was an undesired start to the game for the Eagles, who trailed 26-19 at the end of the first quarter, and 30-23 two minutes into the second period. In the first 10 minutes, the Timberwolves made nine of 14 shots from the field, while Ashland was 5-of-14 from the field.
6. Trailing by seven points early in the second, the Eagles outscored Northwood 20-7 for the remainder of the first half. There were stark differences between the first and second stanzas, not the least of which were Loomis' five blocked shots, which helped AU keep the T'Wolves to 4-of-17 shooting from the floor.
7. Leading 52-43 with 5½ minutes remaining in the third quarter, Ashland pulled away from Northwood thanks to a 20-6 run for the rest of the stanza.
8. Ashland's 10th straight win gives the program seven 10-plus-game winning streaks this decade - highlighted by the NCAA Division II basketball-record 73-game winning streak during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 campaigns.
9. Saturday's game was the Eagles' 200th overall as a ranked team in the NCAA Division II coaches' poll, and Ashland is 187-13 in such games.
10. For Northwood (7-11, 4-6), Ellie Taylor scored a game-high 16 points, while Kenzie Seeley added 14.
A rare one-game week, Saturday (Jan. 26) at 1 p.m. at Wayne State (10-8, 5-5).

Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at 6:30 pm
Aniella, Concetta, Giuseppina, and Maddelana are the quartet of immigrant women at the core of author and blogger Fran Claro's book, The Macaroni's in the Basement. This collection of stories and recipes focuses on four grandmothers and the lives they created in their Brooklyn neighborhood after World War II. The chapters are divided by the four seasons, and recount how the women shaped their families and community through their Catholic beliefs and culinary expertise. They are the masters of ceremonies for annual holidays, rites of passage, and other family gatherings. Interspersed with photographs, the book offers fifty recipes that conjure Italian-American life from 1947 for the twenty-first-century cook. The presentation will continue in the kitchen with a tasting of a traditional Easter treat made from a recipe. A book signing will conclude the evening.

Hazard Mitigation Grant Program 2018
September 14, 2018
The Federal Emergency Management Agency and Florida Division of Emergency Management have received the following application for Federal grant funding. Final notice is hereby given of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) consideration to provide funding in the form of Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. Funds will be provided in accordance with Section 404 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93-288, as amended.
Under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), federal actions must be reviewed and evaluated for feasible alternatives and for social, economic, historic, environmental, legal, and safety considerations. Under Executive Order (EO) 11988 and EO 11990 FEMA is required to consider alternatives to and to provide public notice of any proposed actions in or affecting floodplains or wetlands. EO 12898 also requires FEMA to provide the opportunity for public participation in the planning process and to consider potential impacts to minority or low-income populations.
Funding for the proposed project will be conditional upon compliance with all applicable federal, tribal, state and local laws, regulations, floodplain standards, permit requirements and conditions.
Town of Davie Police Department
Project Title:
HMGP – 4337 (State #58) Town of Davie Police Station Generator
Location of Proposed Work:
Davie Police Department Facility and Fire Rescue Station 65
Proposed Work and Purpose:
The Town of Davie desires to upgrade their generator system and the respective fuel storage tank at the Police Department Facility. At this complex, the Town currently maintains a 750kW generator and an underground storage tank fuel delivery system. The existing fuel system consists of a single 8,000 gallon UST and day tank. The generator provides backup power to the police building and adjacent fire department station. The replacement generator will be upgraded to 800kW. The generator room will require minimum modifications solely for the new day tank and transfer switch. No other structural modifications will be necessary. The new generator and radiator will fit the existing footprint.
The Project is intended to provide for the continued emergency operation of the Davie Police Department and Fire-Rescue Station 65 facilities in the event of power failure. This includes the operation of egress lighting, ventilation, sanitation and emergency communications for public safety personnel. The Davie Police Department and Fire-Rescue Station 65 retains nearly 300 personnel at any given time during a hurricane or other catastrophic event where disaster recovery efforts are required.
Project Alternatives:
The alternatives to the project that have been and will be considered are 1) the no action alternative and 2) switchgear/panel switch will need to be installed and the existing fuel tank would need to be replaced by an above ground tank.
Comment Period:
Comments are solicited from the public; local, state or federal agencies; and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of the proposed project. The comments should be made in writing and addressed to the Florida Division of Emergency Management, Bureau of Recovery and Mitigation, 2555 Shumard Oak Blvd., Tallahassee, FL 32399-2100.

By way of update below is a table that sets out the course availability for January and February 2018, at a time when we have seen some 225mm of rain, equivalent to 1/3 of the UK annual rainfall in just 2 months.Course StatusJanuaryFebruaryOpen13 days14 daysInspection first1 day2 daysTrolleys ok, no single riders4 days6 daysCarry Only4 days4 daysClosed9 days2 daysThe picture for March won't be that different, following the heavy snow, thaw and expected rain. Consequently, the course (and Practice Ground) is likely to remain closed for a few days yet despite it looking to the contrary.Our course manager has the responsibility to make those decisions on a day to day basis. In addition, he is also trying to ensure that, in any one week, the course is open as many days as possible. He has a difficult balancing exercise to undertake between satisfying members' wishes to play the course on one day and possibly rendering the course unplayable for everyone for several days afterwards. However your comments suggest that our communications could be improved and that course closures and buggy bans should be more consistent.Therefore, we will ensure that the following information is available on the helpline.Whenever possible, the course helpline has a clear and definitive course status by 07.15.When the course is closed, we will also explain the reason why.When any frost is deemed severe enough to merit "carry only", the helpline will explain if expected weather conditions mean that this restriction will be in place for the full day.Where the weather is expected to improve during the day, the helpline will include the time of any planned re-inspection as well as any potential lifting of the "carry-only" restriction.When the course is closed at 08.00 and a re-inspection is planned, this will not take place before 09.30 and the course will not re-open until 10.00 at the earliest.When the course is closed at 08.00 due to being waterlogged, there will be no re-inspections and the course will always be closed for the full dayThese are some things we can do now and will be implemented immediately.When snow and/or ice or severe water logging makes the course unsafe, our health & safety obligations as well as our potential insurance liabilities demand that we close the course to all members.Yours sincerely,Mike J AvesChairman Posted on 06/03/2018 by Nick Roberts 3 comments (Add your own) 1 Stevchiecy - 23/10/2019 @ 6:33 AM Get Generic Bentyl No Doctor Medicine Overseas Price viagra vs cialis Cheap Generic Viagra Online Viagra Non Generic Buy Olanzapine Uk Reply 2 Matenrich - 16/01/2020 @ 9:34 PM Priligy 30 Preis Acquistare 120mg Sildenafil Is Cephalexin A Form Of Amoxicillin [url=http://cialibuy.com]Buy Cialis[/url] Generic Cialis Tadalafil 20mg Amoxil And Yeast Infestion Reply 3 Matenrich - 25/01/2020 @ 1:21 AM Cephalexin 250 Mg [url=http://cialibuy.com]Buy Cialis[/url] Canadian Pharcharmy For Antibiotics Cialis Sale Isotretinoin Low Price Reply Add a New Comment Name: Email/URL (Optional): Comment: Enter the code: Cancel Comment Guidelines: No HTML is allowed.

The United States is home to 22 species of woodpeckers. The birds drill into trees using their beaks to harvest sap, bugs or bore out a cavity for nesting. Trees are rarely seriously damaged by a woodpecker unless the tree is already sick or suffers from a bug infestation. However, woodpecker damage on a beloved tree should be promptly repaired to avoid disease from penetrating the tree. The sapsucker woodpecker tends to do the most damage to trees in its quest for sap.
Step 1
Check the health of the tree. Evaluate if the tree has a bug infestation or not. If there is a bug infestation then identify the bugs and promptly spray the tree to control the bugs before you repair the woodpecker holes.
Step 2
Wash tree wounds with simple soap and water. A liquid dish soap works the best. This will help reduce the amount of pathogens that might have been introduced into the tree by the woodpecker,s beak and claws. Be sure to thoroughly wash all soap from the tree's wounds using water. Once the tree is thoroughly washed, allow all scratches and small wounds to heal in the open air. There is no reason to damage small tree wounds.
Step 3
Tape any bark that has become dislodged by the woodpecker using simple duct tape or strapping tape. Leave the duct tape over the loose bark wound for three months and then check the damage to see if healing has occurred. If the wound is still in the process of healing, add more duct tape or strapping tape and wait an additional three months. Once the damage is healed completely, remove all the tape.
Step 4
Clean any large cavity that a woodpecker has made with soap and water. Remove any debris. Screw or nail a piece of tin or window screen over the cavity to prevent the woodpeckers from returning. If the cavity is severe and will fill with water when it rains or snows, then drill holes into the lower half the cavity so the water can easily drain. In time, the tree will heal itself, but the woodpecker and other pests must be kept out of the cavity.
Step 5
Place tinfoil around the tree where the woodpecker damage has occurred. Tinfoil helps scare woodpeckers off so the tree will not sustain more damage. Fasten sticky bird repellent sheets around the trunk of the tree to discourage the woodpeckers from returning.

B.o.B. - "Kids" (MGMT Cover)
I may not be able to stand the onslaught "Airplanes" gives me whenever I turn my car on, but I do commend B.o.B. on his potent debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray. It's not often that a mixtape rapper can take his online success and catapult himself into pop-sensation territory. Oh wait. Yesitis. Either way, it can't be easy juggling two super huge hits simultaneously. What's a poor rapper already complaining about stardom after two singles to do? Go to the UK and cover MGMT, I say. And as Idolator points out, if MGMT won't do it, then I'm glad someone will.

I was going through some old draft posts, where I started but never finished a post where I put a link to remind myself to respond to something later, and I came across a link to Creative Affirmations blog to an article called The Top 5 Affirmation Pitfalls.
Since I've been talking about affirmations lately, I thought this might be something good to talk about.
The "pitfalls" the author gives are:
- Affirming with words that do not promote feelings.
- Your affirmations are in future tense.
- Not saying affirmations.
- Not taking action.
- Doubt.
And I'm someone that believes in this stuff.
So, while affirmations may not help people who are clinically depressed or naturally negative thinkers, if you are trying to become more positive about things in your head, give them a try.
If they make you feel worse – by all means stop and get some real medical help.
But if they do help you feel better and help you focus on your goals, then make sure you use positive emotional words, keep them in the present tense, and work to make them come about.


text: Fsacred 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Hi everyone, After reading the posts from SpeedFrog and Ajeshm about Manila Sense 2.5 on the Samsung section, i felt like installing this piece of software on my LG GM750, 'cos i find it great! :) You know, i just hate the installed S-Class interface from LG and I'm definetly not fan of the SPB solution. :lol: Ok, the whole community claims it's not worth porting this 2.5 version to QVGA or WQVGA because of some incompatible OpenGl 3D drivers, so some winphones like Omnia is declared 'not working' ! What I did is install the cab on a clean Rom, the 10c updated with the officail LG update tool, and you know what ? It's WORKING ! :D The only issues are, because of the VGA resolution, too large icones and texts, backgrounds and stuffs, and the HTC footprint which causes an error of authenticity :D Any other things seems to be working like a charm. I say 'seems', cause I cant see the whole screen ! So, i decided to make a small java program (somekind of a script) to reduce all the resolution's references from xml files like 'pos="0,0,480,800"' half the size to 'pos="0,0,240,400"' for exemple... But I'm stuck, it's still showing like it's a too big (VGA like). If someone is interressed in this thread, i'll send you pics of it, proving it's working... I'd really appriciate any help. It's my first port, and would even be my very first contribution to the WinPhone world ! Many thanks dudes :) Edited July 1, 2010 by Fsacred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malone An All-Star No Show
Karl Malone wasn't around Friday to view a scene that would have made his stomach turn: A crowd at least 60 gathered around Vince Carter, while at the next table only six wanted to talk with John Stockton.
Malone skipped media day Friday as All-Star weekend got under way, choosing to remain at his ranch on the Arkansas-Louisiana border with his family.
There was doubt as to whether he'd show for Sunday's game.
"I'm still not sure if he's coming," Stockton said. "I don't know what battle he's fighting."
Malone, who has expressed a distaste for the way the NBA is promoting its younger players instead of its veterans, had tried to back out of All-Star weekend by claiming he wanted to recover from nagging injuries. But the league wasn't buying his excuse, and Malone was facing a possible five-game suspension if he failed to show for Sunday's game.
The focus on the new generation, a so-called changing of the guard, was the hot topic as the NBA got ready for its first All-Star weekend since 1998. The showcase event was canceled last season because of the lockout.
There are nine first-time All-Stars this year, with 14 players 27 or younger.
Only one starter, Alonzo Mourning, is 30.
"I don't feel like an old fogey, but an elder statesman? Yes," said Reggie Miller, who at 34 is the fourth-oldest All-Star behind Stockton, Malone and David Robinson.
"You've got to promote the younger players because they are the future," Miller said, "and I think Karl has to face the realization that it's a young man's game, and the league will go on."
Miller got a kick out of some of the fashions on display as most of the All-Star participants gathered in a large hotel ballroom. Baggy jeans and baggier slacks were the preferred pants of the younger players, while headwear ranged from Jason Williams' slightly askew yellow Vikings cap to Larry Hughes, he of the 13 tattoos, wearing a ski cap over a doo-rag covering his cornrows.
Allen Iverson wore a camouflage headband and probably a million dollars worth of diamonds on two necklaces, a watch, wristband, earrings and a pinkie ring.
"I never would have worn that much jewelry," Miller said.
Carter might have been the busiest All-Starcoming in as leading vote-getter among all players and the heavy favorite to win the slam dunk contest. With his mother in tow, his Friday itinerary included taped interviews with the big networks, an appearance at a school in Oakland, the media session in San Francisco and a player meeting. His schedule was so tight, in fact, that he canceled a planned runway appearance at a fashion show put on by players' wives.
Kobe Bryant's schedule included the release of his new rap video, co-starring supermodel Tyra Banks.
"The league is about change," Mourning said. "They're pushing this new generation to the forefront. I feel like the old man on the totem pole, and I'm only turning 30."
Saturday's events begin at 4 p.m. EST with the rookie game featuring players from the last two rookie classes. Nighttime events include the 3-point contest, the 2-ball event featuring WNBA players and the dunk contest.
Sunday's All-Star game starts at 6:38 p.m. EST.
Starting for the East are Iverson, Grant Hill, Carter, Eddie Jones and Mourning. The Western Conference starters are Shaquille O'Neal, Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Jason Kidd.
Bryant was the player who began Malone's descent into generational jealousy in the last All-Star game in New York when Malone went to set a pick for Bryant and the youngster waved him off.
Malone took it as a blatant act of disrespect from the then-19-year-old Bryant to one of his elders. He even vowed that he had played in his last All-Star game.
"I just hope he shows," said Stockton, who was concerned about the consequences a five-game suspension would have on the Jazz.
Malone's agent and Utah owner Larry Miller have said Malone will show up Sunday, but Malone has said nothing definitive.
"He's such a huge part of our team, we can't afford to miss him. Regardless of what his feelings are, he's very important to the league and I hope he comes and plays," Stockton said.
Bryant said he doesn't regret waving off Malone and even joked with him that he'd do it again during practice Saturday.
But with Malone expected to miss that, too, Bryant could only wonder about his elder. Asked if he had any message for the missing Mailman, Bryant said: "Thank you. Thank you for all you've done."
"When we were coming up, we idolized him, Michael and Magic. Watching him play brings back so many memories. I hophe comes."

DVO, they use salt mines to store important documents around here. Have you thought of digging for salt in the garden? You never know, you might get lucky.
Good idea wayland. Mainly flint & clay round here but maybe I'll nip up to the next village and have a rummage around the allotments. Worst way I might get some root veg.
Godly - suitable for 4 yrs onwards; nice touch
What is a "village"?
They're little towns where nice people live with cows, in answer to you nickb.
Are you Truebiscuit from the WR?
There's also the Playmobil Jewel Thief:
There's got to be plenty of ideas in this for a story with a couple of decent pictures - anyone ?

What is Cooperative Charting?
Cooperative Charting is one of the Civic Activities we pursue in close coordination with the Marine Chart Division, National Ocean Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
As a part of this program local Squadrons elect to participate in any or all of the following field activities:
- Nautical Charting - help identify anomalies and errors (and their needed corrections) with nautical charts
- Depth Surveys - help to maintain current depth sounds for waterways and their related charts
- Range Line Surveys - help to determine that range markers are in their charted positions to assure accurate navigation
- Tidal Current Surveys - compare tidal flow observed as compared to charted values for navigation accuracy
- Small Craft Facilities - assure that all small craft facilities are correctly represented on navigational charts
- Coast Pilot Updates - act as an observer for reporting information to the Coast Pilot Booklets
- ATON Inspections - charting Aids to Navigation (ATON - buoys, channel markers, etc.) to assure their correct representation on navigation charts
The above services provide great value to boaters by helping to assure safe, and accurate navigational charts and information.
Cooperative Charting is a lot of fun for the whole family - year round!

Avoid These 6 Mistakes and Get More Email Subscribers
Your blog can be a powerful engine that gets you email subscribers and helps you rock your business goals.
Yet many (if not most) bloggers struggle to build their email lists. If you're one of them (as I was for YEARS), you may be making these mistakes.
Avoid them and watch your email list grow daily.
1. Writing random blog posts without an end-goal in mind.
When you build an email list, you want to attract a list of people who are potential customers – people who really need what you are offering.
Your blog posts are a great way to draw interest – but if you are drawing interest to things that don't connect to your business offerings, you're doing a lot of work without getting a return. And that sucks.
Do you write random blog posts just for the sake of "getting something up there"? If so, stop. Every post you write should have a purpose.
When every post connects to your larger business goals, the email addresses you get will be from people who really care about what your business is offering.
2. Not having opt-ins that are directly tied to your blog posts.
Many bloggers fail to get email subscribers for an easily fixable reason – they don't create opt-ins that are directly tied to their blog posts.
Here's what I mean: I recently read a blog post about how to use Scrivener to blog. And at the bottom of the post, the writer offered the template he uses to blog with Scrivener. I immediately opted-in, and am happily using the template for this very post.
If he hadn't offered that template, but instead, offered a vague opt-in offer like a PDF of "10 Ways to Become a Better Blogger", I would probably have passed. But because the opt-in was addressing the EXACT SAME topic as the blog post, I didn't even think twice before subscribing.
(Also, having a "subscribe to get all of my posts by email" sign up form doesn't cut it these days. You need to give them something they can ONLY get by subscribing to your list. But you probably knew that already.)
Do you take the time to create specific opt-ins for each of your posts? If not, you may be losing a lot of potential subscribers.
3. Failing to factor opt-ins into your editorial calendar.
When you write your editorial calendar (and if you do, you are miles ahead of most bloggers already), do you include opt-ins? Or do you just list out your blog topics?
Even if you have every intention of creating specific opt-ins for each post, if you don't actually put them on the calendar, you won't end up creating them. (Believe me, I share this from personal experience.)
So when you sit down to write your editorial calendar, put the opt-ins in as well as your blog posts. That way, when you sit down to write your next post, you'll already have created an opt-in gift that you can easily offer at the end.
4. Jumping all over the place with your blog topics.
Writing about all sorts of different things makes it REALLY HARD to have a specific opt-in for every blog post. Because, let's face it, creating opt-in gifts takes a lot of time and energy.
What if you could use THE SAME targeted opt-in gift for multiple blog posts? Wouldn't that be amazing?
Well, you can, if you write your blog posts in clusters that focus on the same topic for a few weeks or a month at a time. Then you only have to create one opt-in gift for a handful of posts, instead of making a new one each time.
5. Putting too much pressure on yourself to create the PERFECT opt-in gift.
If you're like I used to be, you make each opt-in gift with great care and deliberation. It sometimes takes you hours to create the perfect PDF worksheet for your blog readers.
Even as I write this, I feel a gnawing sense of unease, thinking about all of the hours I spent creating opt-in gifts that looked beautiful but took me WAY TOO LONG to create.
If you put pressure on yourself to create the perfect opt-in gift, you will dread making them. And you won't want to create different ones tailored to each post.
So instead of trying to make your opt-ins perfect, try to make them usable instead. You don't have to create a gorgeous PDF every time. Why not make a Google Doc that they can fill in, instead? It's way more usable. Or make a quick video tutorial without doing heavy editing, or an audio-file of your post?
You can also make a template on Canva or whatever design program you use that you can reuse for each opt-in gift. That way, you can ensure that your gifts are beautiful, easily recognizable as yours, and don't take hours to create.
Then create a page containing all of your opt-in gifts so that you don't have to make a special flow each time you put up a new opt-in. How's that for an answer to the dreaded opt-in setup time suck?
6. Having too many calls to action.
I'm sure you've read this MANY times before, but I feel like it needs repeating.
Your post should only have ONE call to action. That's ONE thing that your readers should do when they are done reading your post. If you ask them to make a comment, send you an email, contact you, and opt-in for an awesome worksheet, they will most likely do none of the above (or default to the easiest option).
If you really want people to join your email list, make that the only call to action. They will be far more likely to actually do it.
To recap:
To get more email subscribers:
1. Make sure that each post has a specific purpose.
2. Have a specific opt-in gift for every post.
3. Put your opt-ins on your editorial calendar.
4. Write about the same topic for multiple posts so that you can reuse your opt-in gifts.
5. Simplify your opt-in gift creation process.
6. End with ONE call to action.

We decorated our small Christmas tree with dazzling decorative. Our symbols for hope, peace and tranquility. In this world of many conflicts, if we can find a little peace within ourselves then perhaps half of the problems would vanish. And peace and joy is the message festive season brings to us all. When we light up candles in a dark cornered room, little we realize that we have lighted candles of hope.
A quiet corner of the living room, which otherwise goes unnoticed , but the moment you keep a Christmas tree all decorated and lighted , that corner of the room becomes special. That quiet corner is perhaps the most peaceful part of proximity; one can create for himself or herself to connect with ones true inner self.
The laughter of a loved one running around that tree. And the tender hands trying to reach out to the top of tree for implanting symbol of peace and tranquility either an angel or a star. Then putting up twinkling lights all around the tree and finally dusting it off with artificial snow flakes. Whatever you can think off, it brings a sense of peace within you. Isn't?
Sit back, hold your breathe and try to soak this ray of hope, love and laughter that surrounds you and your loved ones. Feel blessed for the little things that happen and will happen to you. Life will go on like it used to be, but you wont find these golden moments again perhaps. Live life with full vigor and zest. After all it's that special time of the year again.
Our DD made her own magic wand this holiday. She has been experimenting with it quite often and says it works!!
Well we have to believe for the little amazing things she says. And "believing" is what we need these days. Don't we?
She asked me two riddles the other day, so I am going to ask all to you
- What is Santa's real name?
- And what are the names of Santa's reindeers?
Well, I have no answer to that, I know I can easily google search but just for festive season spirit, I am asking it here. Do let me know if you know the answers to riddles.
Now to the recipe part
Well it's a sort of a tradition to make rich fruit cake for the Christmas eve .With festive season there is sudden upsurge in having sweet tooth all across the globe. Well, we are no exception either. Over a period of time we have started liking this Christmas fruit cake. This fruit cake recipe is non-alcoholic and kid friendly.
Generally Christmas fruit cake is made at least 4-5 days prior of Christmas Eve so that the taste and flavor gets fully matured in a densely packed very sweet cake. We tend to like less dried fruit and less sweet in our cakes, so I end up using less both.
I have always followed basic guidelines from this cake recipe and adjusted the amount of sweetness and use of dried fruits according to our taste buds. There are other recipes out there like this , this and this , which do give concise instructions on Christmas fruit cake but all depend heavily on alcohols or some other ingredients which are not that much available back home.
I have made few changes to make the recipe alcohol free and kid friendly. This has results which are more superior to the Christmas fruit cake you get easily at your local cake shops. Believe me, if you try once in your home kitchen, you wont go back again to your local cake shop to get the Christmas cake.
Christmas Fruit Cake
Recipe requirements
- 300 g of dried mixed fruit assortments (sultanas, currants, dried apricots, dried pineapple, raisins and cherries)
- 15-20 walnuts
- 15 -20 almonds
- ½ cup of California raisins
- 15-20 shelled pistachios
- 1 cup of mango peach juice/ or orange juice
- 3-4 tbs of cherry jam/or marmalade / or apricot jam
- 125 g / 1 cup of plain flour
- 125 g /1 cup of self raising flour
- 125 g/ ½ cup of butter
- 140 g/ ½ cup of caster sugar /or 140 g of brown sugar
- 3 free range eggs
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 1 tsp of cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp of nutmeg powder
- 1 tsp of mixed spice powder
- Crush walnuts, almonds and pistachios while working with rolling pin over your chopping board. If possible slightly toast them on med flame for 6-7 mints in a wok or kadhai.
- Now soak the dried fruit assortment mixture+crushed walnuts, almonds and pistachios with juice and jam. I happen to have Tropicana- mango peach and papaya juice, so used that. You can use plain orange juice as well. Again, apricot jam or marmalade is good, but I didn't have any so end up using cherry jam. Since jam and juice already has sugar, I would suggest using less sugar in making the cake. And also if you are planning to make marzipan topping in case, then stick to using less sugar. As marzipan is well quite sweet and rich.
- This dried fruit and juice mixture needs proper soaking, I have soaked them overnight , but would love to see if it possible to soak this for 3-4 days. Some, Ok, most of the people love to drench this with brandy/rum/sherry. I happen to think otherwise so didn't add none. But if you do like strong alcoholic flavors in fruit cake then definitely go ahead.
- The other day, take your time out for making this cake. In a separate bowl, beat in egg one by one. It would be better if eggs can be taken out earlier or at room temperature.
- Now cream butter and sugar very well. Now, add the egg mixture gently all mixing all through with sugar and butter.
- Now sieve the flour, mix self raising and plain flour very well. You can use only plain flour as well skipping self raising flour part.
- Now, add in baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and mixed spice powder. Add raisins now if you wish to add little bit more.
- Add the soaked dried fruits to the flour mixture.
- Now start mixing the flour mixture and the sugar+butter+egg mixture.DONOT beat the mixture, we need the air so, gently fold it and mix.
- Preheat oven at 150 deg C. Prepare cake tins. I have two small sandwich tins, so end up using both, resulting in two cakes. However, if you have square cake pans or round Bundt pan, use them to make the cake. TIP- Line the cake pans with greaseproof paper. This will help in even cooking of cake. Cakes otherwise tend to cook quickly around the sides as compared to centre of the cake.
- Place the cake pans in middle of the rack. Bake them for about 30 mints.
- Now transfer them in lower rack and switch the oven temperature to 140 deg C.
- Bake the cake for 1 and half hrs at 140 deg C.
- Now take them out and cover with aluminum foil and bake them again for 30 mints at 140 deg C.
- Switch off the oven and let it sit there for about 1 hr covered with aluminium foil.
- Take out and again drench them in juice. If you are using alcohol then drench in alcohol. The cake tends to mature well till Christmas day. You just need to brush with juice or alcohol everyday once .Alcohol drenching also increases shell life, however with juice I am not sure. So, after keeping it covered all through the night, open the foil other day and enjoy. And if you don't have that much of patience then well I don't need to tell you what you have to do. Right!!
- If you wish you can make marzipan topping and decorate it. We just thought it would be nice to avoid even more cream and dried fruits so; a plain slice was just perfect for us.
- Christmas fruit cake with all that dried fruits is well, very heavy so keep in mind that you are dealing here with a high calorie desert, so eat well and don't over do it. But all said and done, once a year it's quite OK to indulge yourself. After all festivity and good food are co-related.
- You can add brown sugar in place of caster sugar; even muscavado sugar works very well.Muscavado sugar also has long shell life.You can make your own caster sugar by grinding the granulated sugar you have in home in a heavy duty mixer/grinder.
- This Christmas cake is non-alcoholic and kid friendly. You can very well adjust alcohol content and make it even more flavorful. But trust me on that, if you have made this cake once in your home kitchen, you won't intend to buy the Fruits cake available in cake shops. And plus point is you know what goes inside this cake.
- While serving, add a dollop of vanilla ice-cream or just drizzle double cream all over it .Just perfect for a warm evening on Christmas eve with your loved ones.
Updated to answer the riddles
1) What is the real name of Santa Claus ?
Ans- St.Nicholas and one interesting name is also Kris Kringle.Interestingly a famous movie was made on believing about his existence and which also referred to his name as "Kris Kringle." Movie was "Miracle on 34th Street" which got many academy awards.
2) What are the names of Santa's reindeers?
Ans- Dasher, Dancer, Prancer,Vixen,Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolf.Among all of them Rudolf is the most famous I guess derived from a famous story of "Rudolf the red nose reindeer.All other names are from a famous poem " Twas The Night Before Christmas " a poem written by Clement Clark Moore.
Wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and happy cooking friends.

K-Communications & Associates
TORONTO, CANADA – 3 May 2014 – Like so many sports teams, the Arizona Cardinals do much more than simply play their game. The Team's business depends on earning revenue from outside sources, and usage of the event spaces at the University of Phoenix Stadium has been boosted by use of CAST Software's Vivien Event Designer, which has helped sales and planning processes alike resulting in an impressive 150 events per year on average.
As a contractor for the Arizona Cardinals, Nick Heller, has had a front-row seat as Vivien has transformed the stadium's business.
"In 2011, I was asked to utilize the existing CAD diagrams of University of Phoenix Stadium to create 3D environments of the event spaces in and around the venue in Vivien," recalled Heller.
"Once the environments were built, event production and sales staff were able to drop in projection screens, loudspeakers, lighting and so on, to show clients what the space would look like for their event – whether they were calling in from the East Coast, or sitting right next to us."
Additionally, Heller has used Vivien on various projects for Encore Creative including a Great Gatsby Event, After Hours Parties and a black tie event at the Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas, NV.
Based on familiar Windows functionality, Vivien needs little or no specialist knowledge to create stunning, accurate and photo-realistic 3D images of future events. It is a graphics rich software application that comes complete with over 3,000 proprietary industry-specific objects and textures, and the ability to import external files in a variety of graphics formats.
Vivien is compressive; you can plan, layout, change, and try out options. All the while, Vivien keeps track of myriad details – event resources, guest management, head count, meal types – recognizing the "business" side is where the money is. Vivien also means it is possible to tailer each event to the specifications in each RFQ. What's more, Vivien's rich graphics produce stunning renderings that are used during the design phase as well as to create proposal/sales presentations that demonstrate immensely and distinct creative design. So, Vivien is a design and selling tool for the full spectrum of event professionals.
"The majority of clients and industry professionals I communicate with on a daily basis agree that events are better produced with a comprehensive plan including 2D and 3D drawings, thorough and concise rental product forms and the ability to quickly change the seating, production and décor plan within the drawings. Vivien provides the flexibility to create amazing photorealistic images whilst maintaining the physical science that dictates what fits and what does not." Says Alain Bisson, Vivien Product Specialist / Trainer. "Additionally, clients are more 'visually stimulated' than they were 4 – 5 years ago. That fact alone justifies the need for a product like Vivien, as it producers rich, vibrant room renders and includes a fully integrated guest management system along side reports and plots."
Nick Heller confirms: "Vivien has expanded our deliverable offerings to the client immensely. Being able to take an empty ballroom and glean both a 2D plan view and 3D renderings simultaneously has become an invaluable piece of the sales and operations processes."
"It also creates a more efficient design and planning process, because the creative team can gather around a series of to-scale images of the design concept, and determine if changes are needed prior to the event load-in. We've had a few instances of making big corrections prior to custom builds or installs that Vivien helped us catch."

In an empirical study we have measured how often which methods of an API are checked for null. This nullability information can be used to infer method nullness, so that we can suggest to developers which methods they need to check and which they do not need to if they are exploring an unfamiliar or undocumented API. We have built an Eclipse plugin that integrates this information into the source code editor by deriving external annotations and extending the documentation. Warnings for potential null dereferences and unnecessary null checks are highlighted in the source code.
In its current state manual work is required to configure the plugin to use the nullability data of an API. As we focus on APIs provided as Maven dependencies, the plugin should be able to use Maven to resolve the required nullability data as well. This requires to extend the plugin to automatically adjust the project configuration and hook into the Maven build pipeline to fetch nullability data of dependencies.
