Diana Smith
Audio Post Production Manager
In 2004 I came back to the UK after many years living abroad. I was about to look for a job when Tim asked me if I would do some maternity cover for the manager at the time. I didn't know anything about the sound industry back then, although as a child I used to record sound effects for fun! In 2006 I went to London for a short spell, working as sound assistant to James Mather on Notes on a Scandal. I came back to work part time at Buffalo whilst studying for a Fine Art degree. I graduated in 2011 and I've been running Buffalo ever since.
What is your favourite film for sound?
Anything that Buffalo has worked on of course! I also love the sound that Aardman Animation create for their films. They manage to convey so much emotion and atmosphere, often in place of dialogue… notably The Wrong Trousers and Shaun the Sheep The Movie.
What is the most interesting aspect of your job?
The last 18 months have definitely been the most interesting and challenging. I've been overseeing the building and kitting out of our new Dolby Atmos dubbing theatre, alongside running the existing Buffalo. I've learnt heaps throughout the process, and am extremely proud of the result. It's already so rewarding to see how well it's being received throughout the industry and I'm excited about the new clients and further opportunities it will bring.
What is unique about working at Wounded Buffalo?
I'm constantly impressed by how much everyone at Buffalo cares about what they do. The atmosphere here is unique due to a healthy balance of being professional and hardworking yet friendly and welcoming.

Manual Handling Training
What is Manual Handling?
Manual Handling is a physical activity that takes place in every workplace, and in some cases the activity does not pose a problem. However, it can be a potential workplace hazard when an employee is required to handle heavy loads which could result in an injury. Manual handling continues to be one of the primary causes of injury in the work place
A Manual Handling risk assessment must be carried out of existing tasks before making an informed decision on which tasks need to be avoided or reduced. Measures then must be put in place to reduce any risks. Training is one measure that can be taken to reduce risk of injury from Manual Handling activities. In house training is found to be the most effective in terms of results and costs.

I attempted to hook up the new deck using my old brain and back-up camera but the camera function only pops up when in drive and the screen is black. I hooked it up using all the wires that were still in the dash. It's been so long since I did the original install I might've just hooked a wire up wrong this time. Help Please. PS. Everything else works fine. Amps, subs, video, audio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It amazes me how quickly morality is declining. There are things all over the news about this. I take it in with a lot of thought, but lately it seems I just can't get it off my mind. One of my YW last night was really distraught over something one of her friends told her. She is young, a Beehive, and I was interested to see how something as upsetting and sad to her was dismissed rather quickly by the older girls, only because they are used to it.
When Spencer was in Utah with some of his siblings, he saw that recent (potential) social/moral changes that are hard for us to swallow are extra hard for them. My own kids are going to become desensitized to things that would otherwise be shocking, I am starting to see. I want certain things to shock them, and I want them to stand for what is moral and for what is right instead of just shrugging their shoulders. Sometimes I wonder if I can shield them from such things, but I realize I can't do that. We can fortify our families in our homes. I remembered a talk by Elder Bednar and looked it up. I love his recommendations of how we can be more concerned at home:
1. Express Love--And Show It

fireplace makeover
I wish I could blame this particular episode of I-need-to-change-my-house-ness on my 4 weeks of bed rest, but alas, this began right before that.
Rewind to September. Actually, rewind a really long time. We moved here 6 years ago next month and even though we rented this house first and I LOVED it, there were things I wasn't a fan of. The kitchen was the biggest, and we have since fixed that. The other was the fireplace. But no big deal. When we bought the house we considered taking it out. We never used it. The brick (stone?) was just awfully ugly. I had heard about whitewashing or painting over it, but I didn't think it would look good. And we finally decided to keep it - I have heard wood burning fireplaces are huge selling features.
We have a friend who is just so handy. We had him over one Sunday evening to give us an idea of how to spruce up our fireplace. Here it is; I didn't think to get a picture of the whole thing before demolotion and I am pretty sure I have old pictures of it but really don't want to go back through my files and look. That old hearth held many song and dance performances. But yuck.
None of us realized just how much work it would entail but we decided to go for it. He emailed me about getting the new stone the day I went into the hospital in pre-term labor. It was all put on hold.
I got home from the hospital, on bed-rest, and decided I wanted to proceed. I hated that fireplace, and really, our main reason for this re-vamp was to utilize the space in our living room better. Our bedrooms are small and we wanted our living space to be bigger because our family is just growing. Fixing the fireplace up, flipping the couch around, mounting the TV and ultimately getting rid of the big entertainment center was going to free up some serious square footage.
It took Todd a while. He has three kids, manages apartments, and doesn't live near us. He brought some stone and marble samples to me because I couldn't go anywhere. The demolition started two weeks before our planned c-section date. I wondered if it would be done, but figured it wouldn't be.
The demolition was disgusting. They found a rat's nest that was estimated to be 20 years old (gag), and lots of spiders, and there was a ton of empty space. So they had to rebuild the old insert with brick, which took extra time of course. And because Todd and his dad do such incredible work, they built the mantle. I was expecting a cute little "shelf"-type thing. Oh.my. I love the mantle. I could never have designed anything close to what they came up with. It took days to assemble and paint. It is a work of art.
They ended up working a lot while I was in the hospital, and wrapping it up when I was home. Alas, when Sadie hit 10 days old it was finished. The TV is mounted, there are NO WIRES showing (hooray for that), and I have a gorgeous mantle and new crown molding above. I could not be happier, and Todd didn't even charge us for the added square footage to our living room.
(Do you like our overlapping holidays this year?)
Oh! We made our first fire! And our second, and third.
So happy we took this on. Timing was weird, but Spencer just makes fun of me because very often my timing is not ideal. Actually, it never is.
Can I say how fun it is to have one more flat space to decorate? (We won't discuss the crap that also collects there, including lego creations meant to stay out of little 2-year-old hands.)

mothers who know
Since my last post (and since my "thing" at the school is now over) I have been thinking a lot about my role and how I spend my time. One of my kids is really struggling right now. This child is having a hard time fitting in and making friends. It breaks my heart every night as I hear sobbing coming from the bedroom and as school is now a HUGE source of dread. This is the first issue I have had as a mom that I feel like I can't just "fix" myself. I know there is a lot more to come. But this is a hard reality for me. It is consuming my thoughts right now. We talk endlessly about how to make it better, and I feel like we never get anywhere.
My friend and neighbor reminded me of this talk after my last post. Some of these words go through my head constantly. I actually remember hearing this talk while Spencer and I were in Hawaii 5 1/2 years ago. It struck me and I recognized immediately the importance of these words. I remember thinking "Yes!" so many times. (And there was so much controversy about this talk! Why?!)
Yesterday as I was thinking about my kids, and specifically this one child, I felt like I need to carefully give as much time as possible to them (and especially this one). I need to eliminate a few more minor things to be completely present when they are home. Mothers who know do less is what I hear in my head all day long. Nevermind the fact that I don't really do extracurricular things right now, but I can do less of those things that are in-home distractions.
Here is my favorite excerpt from this talk:
Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world's goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord's kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power.
Maybe now that I have this down somewhere as public as my blog I can be accountable and do a little better. I want to be this kind of mom! I probably can't fix this issue going on right now with my child but I want this person to feel like I tried, and know that I care. And if I don't give it a little more effort it will probably end up breaking my heart.
This mom thing sure has a learning curve, doesn't it?

Rock Climbing Photos : Topo : MiddleGnai-WadiGnai-Dahab-Egypt
Nice story to this crag: Swiss mountaineer, Juerg Meyer, arrived with his family Spring 2009 for a mix of diving and climbing. The mountains quickly dragged Juerg away from snorkeling alongside his children's Junior Open Water course. After a few days exploring Wadi Gnai, he decided his kids needed some new routes - and voila, a few days later we had Middle Gnai. Love it. Big thank you from all who have climbed it since (including our own children!!).

With Space Chimps, a CG-animated comedy about -- you guessed it -- chimps in space, opening on Friday, we thought we'd compile a list of the greatest monkey movies ever. And before any of you hard-nosed primatologoly majors out there send us hate mail, please understand that we're using the term monkey informally, referring to all non-human simians. That includes monkeys, as well as apes like the gorilla, chimpanzee and orangutan. Now, with that technicality out of the way, here's our list of Top 10 Monkey Movies...
10. Project X
If the monkey section of your DVD library doesn't include Matthew Broderick's 1987 film, Project X, then you're missing one of the essential films in the primate genre. Broderick had made a name for himself a few years earlier playing "global thermonuclear war" in WarGames, but this film from The Accused director Jonathan Kaplan sees him trade Ally Sheedy and "Joshua" in for Helen Hunt and a chimpanzee named Virgil. He plays Jimmy, an Air Force soldier who learns of an experimental military project involving chimpanzees trained to operate flight simulators. The chimp at the center of the film, Virgil, is sent to the program after the research grant of his hottie caretaker (Hunt) is not renewed. Unfortunately, the project, which involves exposure to massive pulses of radiation, has a nasty side effect for the primate participants: death. Can Jimmy save the chimp and bag the broad? We don't wanna ruin it... but yes.
Banana Bonus: Heavy-handed message about animal experimentation and chimps flying planes!
9. Curious George
The 2006 animated Curious George film takes a few liberties with the classic stories created by H.A. and Margret Rey, but it stays true to the playful tone of the tales about a curious little monkey named George and his frequently exasperated owner, The Man in the Yellow Hat. The Universal Animation Studios adaptation is overwhelmingly cute at times, but never unpleasantly so. Will Ferrell voices Ted -- yes, The Man in the Yellow hat gets a name. He also gets a love interest in Drew Barrymore's Maggie. And while big-name voice actors usually equal annoying shtick, this is the rare contemporary animated film that's completely free of irony, gross-out moments, and witty pop culture references. It's sweet and simple -- the perfect animated kid flick.
Banana Bonus: The cool mix of traditional animation with computer-generated 3-D environments.
8. Bedtime for Bonzo
As President, he ended the Cold War. But Ronald Regan's greatest cinematic accomplishment saw him dealing with a conflict of a completely different kind: the question of nature versus nurture, as explored through the upbringing of a kooky, pajama-wearing chimpanzee. The 1951 comedy Bedtime for Bonzo starred the then-future leader of the free world as Professor Peter Boyd, who attempts to raise a chimp and teach it human behavior to solve the age-old quandry of whether an individual's innate qualities or life experiences matter most in their personal development. And of course there's a lady-friend that gets mixed up in the shenanigans... Boyd hires a woman (Diana Lynn) to pose as Bonzo's mother, while he plays the father.
Banana Bonus: Ronald Regan bottle-feeding a chimp!
7. Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan
Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, directed by Chariots of Fire helmer Hugh Hudson, is notable for taking the Tarzan story back to its roots and ditching the campy trappings that the tale had taken on over the years. It's a more serious spin on the classic story of a boy lost in the jungle and raised by a family of apes. The 1984 film is also notable for the incredibly realistic apes -- even by today's standards -- created by effects guru Rick Baker. The ape-effects are great, but if you're looking for a Tarzan flick with some guy swinging around in the trees, this might not be for you. Just as in Burroughs' novel, the apes in the film have primitive language skills.
Banana Bonus: The Highlander loves monkeys, too!
6. Every Which Way But Loose
The late-1970s to early-80s were the golden age of ape entertainment, with the era's crowning glory being the 1978 Clint Eastwood comedy Every Which Way But Loose. The oddball comedy starred Eastwood as a trucker searching the West for his fleeing love interest (Sondra Locke) while accompanied by his manager Orville and pet orangutan, Clyde. The movie didn't earn Eastwood any cred with critics, in fact it was almost universally panned upon release, but it struck a chord with audiences, perhaps drawn in by the irony of the spaghetti western toughguy appearing in such a silly affair. Every Which Way But Loose made big money at the box office and spawned a sequel, 1980's equally impressive Any Which Way You Can.
Banana Bonus: C'mon! It's Dirty Harry and an orangutan!

21st Century Britain has become a failed state. Climate Change, resource depletion and war have caused the collapse of western civilisation. Regional warlords have gained power and scramble to control the few resources the country still holds. Violent conflict is a frequent occurrence. Now, a new movement – the 'Ironsides' – have arisen in the north, modelling themselves on Oliver Cromwell's 'Roundheads' of old. Their growing power threatens to engulf the entire island.
Patrick Kynaston, a soldier and former Police Officer in the service of a New Marcher Lord in Shropshire, stands in their way. Escaping the clutches of the Ironside Army after a devastating battle, he begins a journey that will take him to the limits and beyond of both human endurance and experience, and a quest to bring hope to a broken and devastated land…
Dragon Line – Son of Prophecy is a novel set in a post-apocalyptic future in Britain, against the backdrop of Climate Change, resource depletion and global instability. Though it is SF/Fantasy, some of the events and issues it features are based in reality. Its pretext is historical as well as contemporary.

As you can see in her latest post, my niece-in-law, Jessica, gave birth to a healthy girl, Olivia, yesterday. And mother and daughter are in good condition. Olivia is my second great-niece (Cassidy is my first, and Gabe is my first great-nephew). I am overjoyed, of course, and also quite relieved! Circumstances were especially precarious in this case– mainly because Jess carried this baby, and even had contractions, during two blizzards! So I prayed alot about this birth, and am so grateful to the Creator!
I am also very proud of Chris (my first nephew)–and of my niece Laura, and my nephews Jeffrey and Jonathan! Of the four, Chris is the only one married, as of yet. And I am so pleased that he married Jessica–she is a blessing to my family!
And now I want to welcome my great-niece, Olivia, into this world–she is as precious to me as Cassidy and Gabe! And for Cassidy and Gabe and Olivia: May the Creator provide for all of their needs, and deliver them from all evil, all of their lives!

Mykel Peterson reportedly had trouble getting his mouth open during dental appointments.
A Washington family is looking for answers after their 4-year-old son died Friday during a seemingly routine dental procedure that allegedly involved a shot of anesthesia. Mykel Peterson, who is a patient at Children's dental practice in Vancouver, was on the autism spectrum and had difficulty to open his mouth during appointments, KGW8 reported.
"He wouldn't keep his mouth open so they can see what's going on," Thmeka Curry, Mykel's mother, told the news outlet.
The practice specializes in the treatment of children with developmental problems and makes use of a board-certified anesthesiologist. Mykel reportedly got a shot of Ketamine, a common anesthesia drug, so that he would be dismissed, while the dentist checked to see if he had a filling or crown, KGW8 reported.
"The dentist told me everything she did with his teeth, and she was going to have to check to see if he is still awake," Curry told KGW8.
Curry told KATU that the anesthesiologist said Mykel was given an additional dose to ensure that he is not awake during the procedure.
"The anesthesiologist started to check his pulse and was shaking him, and at this moment I am still not aware of everything happened with my son," Curry, who is in the waiting room, told KOIN.
Staff began administering CPR and paramedics were called to the office. Mykel was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A medical examiner investigation is to determine the cause of death, while a toxicology report will not be available for up to eight weeks, KATU reported.
"For me at this time, it is more of I just need to know what happened," Curry told KATU. "So I can have that closure for my son. That's it."
A declaration Must Love Kids Pediatric Dentistry said that it would be premature to comment on the specifics of the case, but that the agency has performed dentistry for pediatric patients under deep sedation, and general anesthesia more than 1,900 times without incident over the past three years.
"We have a contract with an independent, qualified and experienced board-certified anesthesiologist for the anesthesia services that follow strict protocols, including a pre-operative inspection and approval by the child's primary physician prior to the procedure," the statement said.
A GoFundMe page set up to cover the costs of Mykel's funeral said that he will be remembered as a loving, energetic and smart boy.

I know, I know, the headline above is not earth-shattering news. Every quarter dozens of the world's best investors disclose their holdings to the world via SEC filings (granted, the data is about 45 days outdated, but it still gets lots of attention). It's easy for individual investors to follow well-known money managers into certain stocks, figuring that they can piggyback on their best ideas. I can certainly find far worse investment strategies for people to implement, but it is still important to understand that even the best investors make mistakes. And there is nothing stopping the stocks you follow certain people into from being one of the mistakes rather than one of the home runs.
I think this topic fits right in with my previous post on Sears. Not only is Eddie Lampert the company's CEO and largest shareholder, but he is one of the best hedge fund managers of the last 25 years. It is perfectly reasonable to assume that a billionaire in his position would be primed to create tons of value for investors. And yet, since Lampert orchestrated the merger of Kmart and Sears, which formed Sears Holdings in 2005, the stock price has dropped from $101 the day the deal was announced to $40 a decade later. Adjusted for dividends and spin-offs received over that time, Sears stock has fallen by about 40%, while the S&P 500 index has risen by about 80% during the same period. Eddie Lampert's ownership and involvement alone has meant little for investors' portfolios. Simply put, Sears Holdings has been one of his mistakes.
Interestingly, many of the company's steadfast bulls point to the fact that another very smart and successful investor, Bruce Berkowitz of Fairholme Capital Management, owns 23% of Sears Holdings. That's right, Lampert and Berkowitz own or control 70% of the company. Berkowitz isn't new to the Sears investor pool either; he started buying the stock in 2005 just months after Sears Holdings was created. How can both of these guys have been so wrong about Sears for so long? It's not a tricky question. Neither of them is perfect and they have made (and will continue to make) mistakes. It really is that simple. Since I have written about Eddie Lampert many times since this blog was launched ten years ago, I think it would be interesting to try and figure out why Bruce Berkowitz has been on the losing end of Sears.
Berkowitz's background is in analyzing financial services companies, which is why you will often find most of his capital allocated to banks and insurance companies. Those industries are his bread and butter. In fact, Berkowitz's flagship Fairholme Fund had more than 80% of its assets invested in just four companies as of February 28, 2014: AIG, Bank of America, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. If that doesn't signal his preponderance for financial services companies, I don't know what would.
Now, Berkowitz has not been shy about why he invested in Sears Holdings; he thinks there is a ton of hidden value in its vast real estate portfolio. Unfortunately, his trading record in Sears (he first bought the stock during the third quarter of 2005 at prices well over $100 per share) shows that real estate might not be one of his areas of expertise. Warren Buffett has popularized the term "circle of competence" and tries very much to only invest in companies he understands very well. That's why up until recently (his 2011-2013 purchases of IBM shares bucked the trend) Buffett has avoided technology stocks.
I would postulate that real estate investments do not fit squarely into Bruce Berkowitz's circle of competence. As you will see below, his trading record in Sears underscores this, but we have also seen it with his massive and long-standing investment in St Joe (JOE), a Florida real estate developer.
Below is a quarterly summary of Fairholme Capital Management's historical trading in Sears stock (I compiled the data via SEC filings). Of the 24.5 million shares Fairholme currently owns, more than 55% (13.6 million) were purchased over a 15-month period between July 2007 and September 2008, at prices averaging about $110 per share. More troubling is that this was when real estate prices in the U.S. were quite bubbly, coming off a string of record increases (most local markets peaked in 2006 and 2007) and Berkowitz was largely investing in the company for the real estate. The timing was quite poor. All in all, if we assume that Fairholme paid the average price each quarter for Sears, the firm's cost basis is about $85 per share (before accounting for spin-offs).
St Joe (JOE) has also turned out to be one of his relatively few mistakes. It could certainly be merely coincidence that both the Sears and St Joe investments were made based on perceived (but yet-to-be-realized) real estate value, but I'm not so sure. Like with Sears, Fairholme Capital Management has a very large stake in St Joe. In fact, Fairholme is the largest shareholder (owning about 27% of the company) and Bruce Berkowitz is Chairman of the Board (sound familiar?). Berkowitz started buying St Joe during the fourth quarter of 2007, around the same time he was massively increasing his investment in Sears. His largest quarterly purchase was during the first quarter of 2008 (talk about bad timing), when he purchased more than 9.2 million shares (37% of his current investment).
St Joe's average trading price during that quarter was about $38 per share, but subsequent purchases have been at lower prices, so the losses here are not as severe as with Sears. By my calculations (see chart below), Fairholme's average cost is around $28 per share, versus the current price of about $20 each. But again, not only has the investment lost about 30% of its value, but the S&P 500 has soared during that time, so the gap in performance is so wide that it would take a small miracle for either of these investments to outpace the S&P 500 index over the entire holding period, as the returns needed to make up for 7-10 years of severe losses during a rising stock market are significant.
Now, the purpose of these posts is not to point out the few big mistakes two very smart investors have made over the last decade, while failing to mention their big winners. Any of my readers can look at the history of the Fairholme Fund or ESL Partners (Eddie Lampert's hedge fund) and see that they both have posted fabulous returns over many years. The point is simply to show that sometimes these investors make mistakes, even with companies where they own and/or control a huge amount of the stock. Just because Eddie Lampert and Bruce Berkowitz are involved in a major way (either in ownership, operationally, or both), it does not ensure that the investment will work out great for those who eagerly follow them. Just because they are smart investors does not mean these are "can't miss" situations. There are plenty of people who are sticking with Sears because of Eddie, or sticking with St Joe because of Bruce. That alone, however, is not necessarily a good reason to invest in something.
I will leave you with one more example of Bruce Berkowitz making a large bet on a stock outside of his core financial services wheelhouse. At the end of the third quarter of 2008 Fairholme Capital Management owned a stunning 93 million shares of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (PFE). It was an enormous position for him and was featured in many investment magazines. This single $1.73 billion investment represented as much as 24% of end-of-quarter total assets under management for Fairholme, and all of those shares were purchased over a 26-week period in 2008 (more than 3.5 million shares purchased, on average, every week for six months).
Now, given how large of a bet this was, even by Bruce Berkowitz standards, it would have been easy to assume that this investment would be a home run. But as you can see from the trading data above, Fairholme lost money on Pfizer after holding the stock for only about 18 months. During the fourth quarter of 2009 alone, the firm sold more than 73.4 million shares of Pfizer (after having purchased 73.7 million shares during the second quarter of 2008). Perhaps pharmaceuticals aren't Bruce Berkowitz's bread and butter either. Fortunately for him and his investors, however, his prowess picking banks and insurance companies has helped him compile an excellent track record since he founded his firm in 1997.
Full Disclosure: No position in St Joe or Pfizer at the time of writing, but positions may change at any time.

A live or hot wire is a conducting wire that carries electrical current in the form of oscillating voltage. Contact with the wire can cause an electrical shock in some settings, as a body can act as a ground and the electricity will flow through the path of least resistance, the body, to reach the ground. Special precautions are necessary to limit the risk of electrical shock from live wires, whether they are downed electrical wires or household wiring.
By convention, many electrical codes insist on the use of color coding in wiring for safety. A live wire may be black, brown, or red, depending on the region. This alerts people to the fact that it carries current and may be energized. In household electrical wiring, the complementary wire is the so-called "neutral." Wire flows through the live wire to reach an appliance, moves through the circuit created by the appliance, and exits through the neutral wire.
Technically, both live and neutral wires can carry current in such circuits, and some household wiring does not differentiate. In other cases, an electrician may install polarized outlets, where one hole is slightly smaller than the other. The smaller hole accommodates the live wire, while the larger hole is the neutral. This can increase the safety of appliances connected to the outlet, especially when paired with the use of a ground. The ground provides a safe path for electricity to limit the chances of electrical shocks.
The live wire is insulated, with the level of insulation depending on the voltage. Plastics, fabrics, paper, and gels can all be used as insulating agents. Insulation limits the contact between it and other conductors, which prevents shorts. It also ensures that a live wire doesn't energize something like the casing of an appliance. Insulation tends to wear over time, especially in harsh environments. It is important to periodically inspect electrical wiring for signs of hazards like worn insulation or heavily bent and potentially broken wires.
Safety around live wires is important, especially in the case of high voltage wiring like that used in overhead electrical lines and industrial facilities. Many electrical systems have automatic cutoff features to deenergize in the event of a problem like a ground failure or a fallen power pole. In other cases, a technician may need to manually cut off power. Unless directed otherwise, it is advisable to assume that exposed electrical wiring is live, and could post an electrocution hazard.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

This month's beer pack has been chosen with interesting flavours in mind. Whether that is from the added elderflower in the case of the Birds & Bees, the addition of blood orange juice and zest with the Beavertown, or added cherry in the case of the really rather tasty Krafty Cherry Lambic.

A Startup Musical
By Alex Stein and Erin Bregman
A Startup Musical tells the story of three founders, each driven by different impulses and desires. It explores the nature of human relationships in the high G-force environment of a fast-growing startup. It looks at what can happen when people try to turn an idea into a reality, and what can happen when they try to share their creation with the world.
Change is our new status quo. Innovation is the new party line. In the midst of the current rush to innovate, it is essential for us to continue to ask ourselves these questions: Who are we as humans? Why are we creating? How can we create in a responsible way?
In its first incarnation, A Startup Musical will explore these questions in the form of a monthly podcast. It will feature interviews with real people-- entrepreneurs, engineers, musicians, producers, and artists. Each episode will feature a musical scene at its center. Through the podcast, we hope to spark meaningful conversation on these questions, while bringing our own creative process into the open.

In Irish mythology, the Lughnasadh festival was founded by the god Lugh as a funeral feast and athletic competition. The ancient Celts would celebrate the festival by performing physical feats under the light of the full moon.
For Lughnasadh we will cycle from one side of Ireland to the other. From the Atlantic Ocean to the Irish Sea, overnight, arriving at a big summer festival. My mammy calls it 'Total Lunacy' and so, this ride is called Total Lughnasadh.
Setting off from Galway at 7pm on Saturday August 5th, arriving for breakfast (around 8am) in Bray on Sunday 6th of August.

Serpents Tongue is available for streaming on Dreamtime's Bandcamp page, and you can snag a download code, which includes the single and a pair of awesome live improv tracks, by purchasing some merch. Give Dreamtime all of your money so we can bring them back to the states again on their next tour.

Fire crews were called to a business in Fremont Wednesday afternoon on report of a fire at 1:45 p.m.
Fire officials almost immediately called a third alarm which brought dozens of firefighters to the scene near Warm Springs and Brown Road. The actual address of the building is 801 Boggs Terrace.
The building houses C and H Enterprise, which is a machine shop business. That business is a total loss.
Everyone who was inside the structure when the fire started was able to get out safely, according to fire fighters.
The oils instead the structure made the smoke toxic, so people in the area were told to shelter in place. The business, which performs precision machining, welding and fabricating, has a placard posted to inform people there are combustible and flammable materials inside.
Heavy black smoke lifted into the air and could be seen for miles in the South Bay.
Fire crews were hoisted on to ladders of their trucks to spray water on the fire from three sides of the building. They call that the "surround and drowned" method of fighting a fire.
The black smoke turned to white smoke by 2:30 p.m. which is normally a sign that they are getting the fire under control. Fire crews said they would remain on the fire Thursday night checking on hot spots.
Our NBC Bay Area helicopter above the scene showed the roof had collapsed in the fire, but it did not appear to have spread to other buildings.
Crews did not immediately reenter the structure because the back wall was ready to collapse from the extensive damage, fire Capt. Steve Silva told Bay City News.
There was no word on what might have sparked the fire. Fire officials are investigating.

My Son recently got a few Airsoft guns for his 14th Birthday and I have already had to troubleshoot both in the 2 days he has had them.
I figured I would document what I did in case anyone else gets this problem since apparently these are both rather new guns.
Umarex Glock 17, otherwise known as Elite Force Airsoft Glock 17
This one had a random bb stuck along the side of the magazine that prevented it from being removed from the handle. It only came out about 1 inch.
I fixed it by fully removing the fill cover from the bottom of the magazine "after opening the cover, pull down on that little slide again and the cover will slide off". I then pushed the magazine as far into the handle as it would go.
I then cut an extra wide shim from a pop can. "i cut it from around the can since it was longer that way" it needs to be able to fit across the front of the clip covering the spring and wrap around about 1/2 way on each side.
Push it all the way in and then remove the clip. it wasn't that easy as I had to pull the clip out a little while wiggling the shim in and trying not to slice my fingers open on that shim.
I'm still not exactly sure where it was stuck, either against the outside of the spring, or in one of the indents that the magazine release goes into.
I'll upload some photos shortly.

Wines Cabernet Sauvignon
The Cabernet Sauvignon Grape
Late ripening so preferring warmer climates, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most-planted grapevine in the world. The offspring of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, this grape variety's home area is Bordeaux. It produces dark, blackcurranty, long-lived wines, frequently blended with Merlot and one or some of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carmenère.
The small grapes are richly pigmented, have thick skins and proportionally large pips. After Bordeaux, California and Italy (one of the Super Tuscan ingredients) are most notable, but the grape is grown virtually everywhere in the wine world.

ContourHD: The first wearable HD camcorder
Look at this guy. He exudes a confidence that says, I'm off to have an adventure and I'm not afraid to record it. He's "wearing" the ContourHD which claims to be the world's first wearable HD camcorder.
It weighs just four ounces and the anodized aluminum device can snap on your equipment. Like ski goggles for instance. It shoots HD video (1280×720) at 30fps, or SD at 60fps. Storage is in the form of MicroSD cards up to 16GB, which will provide up to 8 hours of HD and 16 hours of SD per card.
It should come in handy for all kinds of Jackass-like stunts.

Today is Digital Learning Day! Below are three ways Annenberg Learner and our partner, Journey North, can help you incorporate technology into your lessons.
1. Browse our interactives page for online activities that students can use to improve spelling, control the U.S. debt, build a roller coaster, and create an ecosystem. You can search by subject area and grade level. Many of the interactives include online printable assessments. Interactives make great classroom lab activities, as well as great self-paced homework assignments.
2. Considering flipping your classroom? Learner.org streams content videos in all subject areas. Assign videos or parts of videos as homework to prepare for cooperative learning projects or discussion activities in the classroom. Since the videos are streamed free, students can watch and rewatch them at their own pace, take notes, and jot down questions they have. Search available programs here.
3. The Journey North citizen science program, now run from UW-Madison Arboretum, and Explore.org teamed up to present live cams of animals around the world. Live cams capture moments in time from places around the globe. Bring the outside world into the classroom. Explore how sunlight drives seasonal change and affects all living things. The live cam experience is a springboard to research and discovery. How do animals in different parts of the world respond to seasonal change? Viewing guides with classroom activities are available for each cam.

Tonight i finished up the hand working of these parts. (3) bird deflectors, (3) points covers. These sand cast aluminum parts are stylized by my good friend Curtis Parker. Sculpting is second nature to Curtis's hands since he sculpts cars for Volkswagen as a career. I have only cast these 3 sets which have been stamped with serial numbers 1-3, 2-3, 3-3. The bird deflectors bolt up to an S&S Super E/G carb. The Points Covers bolt up to any Horizontal Bolt Pattern Harley Cam Cover. These are in the store, who knows when i will get more. CLICK HERE

Hello. I hope everyone is doing well. I thought I'd post something to destress myself so I thought of doing this challenge although no one tagged me to do it.
Random thought: It's already September and it feels like months went through without me realizing that they've gone by... Haha!
Anyway, on to the video... All products and tools used are listed below.
You will notice that I am very familiar with my face and sometimes there are just right tools and right products that are fool proof.
I had to edit the video because I was being fuzzy about the products I used and took a long while selecting and applying because I didn't want to look like a clown but I had no idea what I looked like.
I used my MAC Air to film the video and just placed myself in the frame then opened Safari so I couldn't see what I was doing the whole time.

Watermelon Mint Cooler
As most of you know by following me on Facebook, Instagram (@lovelindawagner) and Twitter, I have a massive love affair with watermelon going on right now! The combination of mint + cold watermelon is beyond refreshing on a hot summer day!
Like most of my recipes, this Watermelon Cooler is super fast and easy to make. This way you can spend more time outside by the pool and less time in the kitchen prepping!
You'll need:
- watermelon cut into cubes – use as much as you need to fill up your blender
- 6-7 sprigs of fresh mint
- 1/2 dropper full Vanilla Stevia to taste
Simply blend all ingredients together in your blender. I always use a VitaMix – they are the best! You can see the various other blenders I recommend here.
Pour the mixture through a nut milk bag or 1 gal paint straining bag (available at Home Depot or Lowe's for about $2) and into a clean bowl or pitcher to strain the fibers.
Serve over ice and enjoy…or if you're feeling sassy, go ahead and add some high quality vodka!
You can get your Vanilla Stevia through iHerb.com. They are having a 10% off SALE on all product orders totaling $40.00 or more now through Tuesday morning!!
With FREE 1-3 day shipping for domestic orders of $40.00 or more and zero sales tax, it's a great time to stock up on your favorite superfoods, supplements, and beauty products! Just enter the discount code WAG472 at checkout!

Your source for deep-dive instruction for SAP technical and support professionals
At the onset of any project, I encourage the project management team to hold a project work management brainstorming session. In this session, I ask them to try to imagine (or remember) all the different ways the business could ask to report on solution documentation. This session may seem like an exercise in encouraging a blank-check mentality, but when it comes to enabling features in SAP Solution Manager, it has an important purpose.
The point of the exercise is to anticipate what kind of metadata or attributes you need to store on the project documents to be able to report and manage the solution documentation content to meet the business needs. Additionally, you can identify better ways to manage work by grouping deliverables. For example, many projects are deployed in waves or releases. You can assign these two common attributes to documents to help manage work and monitor progress. Other commonly used attributes are key milestone planning dates, team or functional groupings, business criticality or business value attributes, and information relating to how a particular document might relate to systems or processes outside of SAP systems.
The use of custom attributes is a feature in SAP Solution Manager that allows you to go beyond simple keywords. By defining your own custom attributes you are actually extending the reporting capability of SAP Solution Manager. Virtually all the SAP Solution Manager reports support the use of custom attributes in selection screens or as filters in output lists. Consequently, you can build execution and layout variants for team members and leaders to build custom work lists for the subset of documents each person needs.
The technique I describe was originally developed in SAP Solution Manager 4.0 on Support Package 12. As I move through the details, I point out the differences between SAP Solution Manager 7.0 Support Package 19 and SAP Solution Manager 7.1 Support Package 2, which are the two systems I used when updating this procedure. As always, it's important that you understand the key components involved, and I talk about them in the next section.

Rails and Stiles
Rails and Stiles
All my rails and stiles for the island doors and panels, precut to size ready for milling. The rails and stiles are all 2" wide. I bought 2 1/2 inch stock, which allowed me to mill the detail bead using a beading bit in my router table (1/4" bead). I would then rip the bead off in the table saw, then apply it to the inside of the face frames with glue and a micro pinner. This is much faster than trying to mill the bead directly on the face frame, IMHO.

Walls plastered, floor installed. One of the hardest floors I've ever installed, 12" pine. With 16' lengths, the floor boards sometimes had 8" curves end to end! Had to cut wedges and screw them to the floor for leverage. Installation was done with a flooring nailer, then I pounded 8d hand cut nails through the face to match the existing house. I believe I installed over 1,000 nails by hand.

text: Fishhawk Lake participates in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Firewise Program. This program teaches people how to adapt to living with wildfire and encourages neighbors to work together and take action now to prevent losses. We do this by cleaning up dead and downed debris from the bushes and trees surrounding our houses. For example: tree branches should be hanging no less than 6 feet from the ground to prevent a fire from jumping from the ground. You can plant fire resistant plants near your house and keeping grass green is a big deterrent as well. Keeping leaves off the roof and gutters is also a good preventive move. We usually have 2 clean-up days a year in which we remove debris piles members have staged and take the material to the burn pile. All of the hours spent doing this maintenance are kept track of by Kathy Cardona and she reports them to the Firewise program. The lake is then given monies for those hours reported.

In another sign that border punches have become the new tool battleground in the industry, Fiskars has announced a new border punch system called the AdvantEdge Punch System.
The AdvantEdge utilizes slide and lock technology which Fiskars says "lets you keep the paper in one place while the punch cartridge slides from one lock-in slot to the next for a perfectly aligned border." The punch accepts interchangeable punch cartridges that cut 2.75″ borders, and a selection of nine designs are currently available in that size. (The Flower Garden design pictured below is packaged with the tool in the starter set.) The AdvantEdge will also work with the company's previously released smaller interchangeable border punch cartridges for its more traditional border punch design.
The AdvantEdge starter set will retail for $49.99, and the 2.75″ punch cartridges will retail for $29.99.

Two men. Two SUPs. Ten days. 240 miles. The Plastic Tides team launched on November 9th from Ithaca, NY with hopes to reach Albany via the Erie Canal. Just days into the expedition a winter storm warning became the infamous "Polar Vortex" that dumped punishing lake-effect snow on the Buffalo area and sent temperatures below freezing in all 50 states. The team battled freezing rain, brutal temperatures, and heavy snow on their journey through the heart of Central New York.
Why? To raise awareness of plastic microbeads in cosmetic products and to push for a statewide ban on these products.

Hope for the Holidays
Update #1 • Posted 1878 day(s) ago
Chef Eric LeVine
In addition to having the best job in the world – you might know that I am a 5-time cancer survivor. Five times that beast knocked on my door and every time, I gave it a proper beat down. But it wasn't easy – especially on my family. Cancer is a family disease. What my wife and children went through is heartbreaking. So when I heard about Family Reach Foundation and the help they provide families who have children being treated for cancer, I was all-in. As families cope with years of medical treatments, out of pocket costs, everyday living expenses – they often reach a breaking point having to make impossible choices. Family Reach is there to help with rent or mortgage payments; transportation; utilities; uncovered medical expenses and everyday living expenses that we often take for granted.
Thank you for making a donation to Family Reach ~ Hope for the Holidays!
