Any questions not answered on this site feel free to call us 806-544-9030 .
We have practiced line breeding, inbreeding and out Crossing. We are currently in the phase of out Crossing the very best studs this country has to offer. We only put the very best of our productions back into the gene pool. We have been breeding our blood line long enough to know the positive and negative attributes of each of our dog's genetic makeup. We only combine them in a way to weed out the negative while multiplying the positive. Temperament is at the most importance. We have no need for a massive size high strung or aggressive dog. In the past we have had dogs that were considered to be the best from their litter but their temperament did not fit in. Those dogs are chalked up as a loss and removed from ever being able to be put back into the gene pool. Leaving us with a long line of selectively bred dogs that naturally act right.
We have several breeding's planned, some with our own studs. however, for the most part, we will currently be focusing on using some of the best outsourced studs from across the United States. The studs have been picked out and we are watching their productions. We will announce the names of these studs at a later time. Our philosophy is that there are way too many unwanted dogs being put down every day to justify bringing more dogs into this world that are not the very best breeding's the United States has to offer. We search from Coast to Coast and spare no expense to find the very best studs this Country has to offer.

"Take a bike ride around Diamond Head: Known to Hawaiians as Le`ahi, Diamond Head is the unreal-looking dormant volcano towering at the end of Waikiki in every photo you've ever seen of the place. The bike ride to and around it from friendly Hawaiian Style Rentals on Lemon Road is easy enough for even the laziest rider (and I would know). Along the way, there's pretty Queen Kapi`olani Regional Park (watch for prehistoric-looking banyan trees), the stately seaside War Memorial, stoic Diamond Head Lighthouse, vastly blue ocean views, hilariously solemn groups on Segway tours, surfers and more. For the (slightly) ambitious, there's an extra leg out to Kahala and/or the 170-step stairs to the crater's top partway around. (Hawaiian Style Rentals & Sales, 2556 Lemon Road, Honolulu; 866-916-6733; hawaiibikes.com; bike rentals, $15 for four hours)"

2018 Two-Stroke Genuine Mopeds are Approved!
Genuine is committed to keeping America's favorite 50cc two-stroke mopeds on the road in Hawaii. We are excited to announce that Genuine Scooter Company has already received approval for their 2018 two-stroke models. This is one of the many reasons why we exclusively rent and sell Genuine mopeds. Please visit sales.hawaiimoped.com to pre-order your new 2018 ride today.
We will also be offering the Titanium Buddy, Limited Edition Lavender Buddy and the Roughhouse Sport for sale. All our new models will be backed by Hawaii's best two-year unlimited mileage warranty and free roadside service. Our used Genuine mopeds come with a one year unlimited mileage warranty.
Genuine Scooters are the Best!
It's official. Today, we finally sold our last SYM moped. We've been phasing out SYM slowly, while incorporating the Genuine line of mopeds into our fleet. In May, we sold our last DD50 moped and today we sold our last Jet Evo moped. Since we rented the SYM mopeds and Genuine mopeds together during this transition, we were able to compare them every day. We've found that Genuine is just as bulletproof as the SYM. They require the same maintenance, because they are both two-strokes, but the Genuine moped maintains its good looks much longer. The Genuine Buddy and Roughhouse are made out of higher quality parts, which makes our used mopeds continue to look new when we put them up for sale. Almost all of our sales customers can't tell that our used mopeds are not new at first glance. We never had the same experience with the SYM line. Unfortunately, a used SYM looked like a used moped.
Genuine's support is second to none. Their team in Chicago has bent over backwards to keep our bikes looking and running great. All issues have been maturely addressed for both our rental fleet and our new sales customers. If the bikes weren't already good enough, the commitment to their dealers and products has really put Genuine above the competition. We agree with Genuine when they claim to be, "America's Favorite Scooter Company."
Say Aloha to SYM
When starting Hawaiian Style Rentals out of the back of the pickup truck in 2005, we bought the cheapest, coolest-looking mopeds. We learned quickly that "you get what you pay for," and were plagued with unhappy customers and countless, unavoidable service calls. SYM was already an option in the marketplace, but we wanted something different that looked fun to ride.
The SYM DD50's simple clean lines didn't appeal to us at the time, so it took two years of being in business and many headaches to make the switch. Once we did, we never turned back. For eight years, we proudly exclusively rented, serviced, and sold the SYM brand on Lemon Road. They were high quality, and we never experienced the same issues that are inevitable with a Chinese off-brand moped. We added the Jet Evo, Rv200, and HD200 into our fleet, and experienced similar quality and craftsmanship.
SYM had a large portion of moped marketshare in Hawaii, so we were floored when SYM in Taiwan announced that they would be discontinuing the DD50 and Jet Evo at the end of 2015. SYM wasn't selling enough of these models throughout US and the EPA raised their emission standards and testing for two-stroke motors, so they decided to discontinue these models and focus on their four-stroke motor production out of their Chinese factory.
At Hawaiian Style, we aren't ready to switch over to a four-stroke moped. They require more maintenance, and local people understand that a two-stroke moped is going to provide much more power than a four-stroke motor. Genuine Scooter Company in Chicago, Illinois is the last remaining company producing two-stroke mopeds produced in Taiwan. They have over 200 dealers nationwide and already have 2016 approval for all of their 49 cc two-stroke moped models. Shortly after contact, Hawaiian Style Rentals & Sales signed an exclusive dealership agreement for Oahu and had their first container of Buddy mopeds delivered in August. The fun, European look brings a fresh look to the fleet, and Genuine's commitment to quality and dealer success may be even better than what we are used to with SYM.
Only time will tell. Expect to see these colorful mopeds riding around the island. Once rental tested and approved, we will sell them used with our one year unlimited mileage Hawaiian Style Warranty. Beginning next year, we will sell our new models with a two-year unlimited mileage warranty and roadside service. We hope that the Buddy 50 can become Hawaii's new favorite moped!

One in every 10 people globally lack access to clean water, with 1 in 4 using a drinking water source with fecal contamination. It's time we change this! This World Water Day, March 22, American Eagle Outfitters is joining forces with Planet Water Foundation for PROJECT 24.
PROJECT 24's mission is to build 24 water filtration systems in 24 hours, bringing clean water to 24,000 people across 5 countries including Cambodia, Colombia, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. American Eagle Outfitters has sponsored one of the 24 clean water towers that are part of this initiative providing critical support to a community in need in Greater Delhi, India.
American Eagle Outfitters is honored to step up to the challenge and play an important role in helping change the lives of 24,000 people in a span of just 24 hours. Join us and together we will abolish water poverty, one community at a time!
In efforts to help bring clean water to communities, we are donating 15,000 dollars to build a water tower at Sangat Green Public School in Deri Machha Village. Ajay, a Grade 6 student at the school said, "I carry my drinking water from home as school water is dirty, and it smells bad. I feel sick for days after drinking water at school."
American Eagle Outfitters is proud to help bring clean, filtered water to thousands of people in Deri Machha. You can help provide clean water to even more kids in need by visiting www.planet-water.org.
Happy World Water Day!

The Cloud - Packaging Nothing
Packaging of Nothing assignment. Everyone was given the task of packaging "nothing" and the first place my mind went to was to technology. The bottom is a wrapped box with another wrapped box inside of it serving as a pedastal for the vacuformed Cloud shape to sit on. The plastic top half extends the whole height of the box, resting between the bottom wrapped boxes. The blue backwall is a transparency that is printed and glued into the plastic back.

Back in February, Bay Skate rocked downtown Miami with a blowout bash, orchestrating the ultimate old school nostalgia on wheels. The roller skating soiree took over Bayfront Park and hundreds of Miamians relived their middle school awkwardness while circling Pepper Fountain. Now, the event is back for its second installment and this time, it's Halloween-themed.
Bay Skate was the brainchild of brothers Marcos and Alex Macias, of Macias Advertising. The siblings had fond memories of an adolescence spent at the city's famous Hot Wheels roller rink, and wanted to bring the same sense of juvenile joy to one of Miami's public parks. The concept won the Miami Foundation's Public Space Challenge in 2014, and February's inaugural run drew plenty of attention.
The October installment is extra special, as it kicks off at 5 p.m. on Friday, October 30, and runs until midnight, allowing guests to ring in All Hallows Eve while on skates.
"Each Bay Skate event will showcase new local and seasonal features and elements that will make each event unique," says Alex of the second event. "For this special Halloween edition, we are first extending our hours until midnight and welcoming our guests to bring their costumes for a first-of-its-kind downtown skate jam."
There will be four DJ's spinning old school funk, freestyle, soul, and other mixed genre classics, curated by 222 Worldwide; an expanded list of food trucks; craft beer; and new signature cocktails. "You never know what other surprises may be at store, but it is a night of tricks and treats after all right?" adds Alex.
In addition, there will also be a skate rental and shoe valet, but supplies are limited, so bring your own skates if you've got 'em. With two skate sessions — one for families starting at 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and adult run from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. — everyone can get their skate style on. For those who missed the first skate-around, Alex reiterates that the installation is free, totally unique, and (obviously) fun.
"Newcomers can expect a unique mix of cultures, lifestyles, and age groups celebrating together in a unique setting, and roller skating the night away in one of the most beautiful public resources we have in the Miami area," he says.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Eventually, the brothers hope that the event becomes a permanent staple for downtown. Currently, they're focused on making the event bigger and better every time so that it may become an integral part of the downtown nightlife. They're also seeking additional sponsors and support to make sure it sticks around.
"We also recognize that if we can make Bay Skate a park staple during our proposed Skate Season, which runs fall through spring, we estimate we can attract over 100,000 attendees seasonally to the park, and as a result, directly activate the immediate area and its businesses," adds Alex. "These are some big numbers with an even larger community impact."
So dust off those roller skates and throw on a costume you can skate in — it's Halloween-on-wheels this year.
Bay Skate
Friday, October 30, starting at 5 p.m. at Bayfront Park, 301 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; facebook.com/bayskatemiami.

Just Why Is This Guy 'Barry Ogden' a Celebrity in His Hometown?
Perhaps His Initials Are a Clue in Rexona's Latest Ads
Editor's Pick
In this Australian campaign by deodorant brand Rexona, an ordinary guy called Barry Ogden is really proud of the fact that he's something of a celebrity in his hometown -- but blissfully ignorant as to why. He gets special seats at restaurant, his own office at work, and people pointing at him on the bus. Perhaps his initials, B.O., are a clue: the campaign advocates that you don't become famous for it.
The online campaign is by JWT Sydney and directed by Dave Wood at Plaza. It's the first creative work for Rexona from the agency. Simon Langley, the executive dreative director, said in a statement: "Sometimes you can be famous for all the wrong reasons. We wanted to use humour to highlight the fact that some people are completely unaware that they have bad body odour, and challenge them to consider whether they are using the most effective products."

Before trying to outline the time period of eMarketing (or digital advertising, so to speak), we must always first take a look at the premises of its apparition and growth. A working definition is that coming from a bunch of CISCO specialists: e-Marketing is the sum of all activities a business conducts by the web with the aim of finding, attracting, successful and retaining customers. The easiest definition of eMarketing might be that advised by Mark Sceats: the eMarketing that makes use of web as manifestation channel. Note: a typical technique to realize e-marketing goals is the communication strategy. A main activity to do when implementing an e-Marketing technique is that of creating and creating a coverage upon access procedures to the collected info.
Savvy business professionals recognize this to be a comparatively limiting definition of what really constitutes e-marketing. With there may be rising penetration of internet usage, each organizations -be they small or large, are quick adopting e-marketing to achieve their potential customers. Although e-marketing exuberance exposes loads of opportunities nonetheless, the foundations of selling don't show any indicators of becoming obsolete. Privacy is a component of the combo very a lot related to the previous one – personalization.
Accordingly, e-marketing allows manufacturers to build on the success of their conventional programs and expand their reach to a wider and more diverse viewers of healthcare professionals and/or consumers. When we collect and retailer details about our customers and potential customers (subsequently, after we perform the personalization a part of the e-Marketing combine) an important situation arises: that of the way in which this information will be used, and by whom.
The fundamental concept of personalization as part of the e-Marketing mix lies in the need of recognizing, figuring out a sure buyer as a way to establish relations (establishing relations is a elementary objective of Marketing). In the tip, we should always not neglect to specify how the plan (or plans) will likely be controlled, by what means we will measure its results.
The e-Marketing Strategy is generally primarily based and constructed upon the principles that govern the standard, offline Marketing – the well-identified 4 P's (Product – Price – Promotion – Positioning) that form the traditional Marketing combine. The e-advertising plan is constructed exactly on the identical rules because the classical plan. Yes, e-advertising and marketing is your technique for allocating resources (time and money) digitally so as to obtain your objectives.

Step 1Cover and freeze the butter and flours for 30 minutes to chill thoroughly.
Step 2In the bowl of a food processor, combine the all-purpose and cake flours, along with the salt. Pulse to combine.
Step 3Add half of the frozen butter pieces and pulse until the butter is reduced to the size of peas. Add the remaining half of the pieces, and continue to pulse until the size of peas.
Step 4Slowly add the water and lemon juice, and continue to pulse just until the dough begins to clump together.
Step 5Remove the dough to a floured board (using all-purpose flour), and form into a rectangle about 12 by 8 inches.
Step 6Fold the dough in half (the dough will be very crumbly at this point), then roll out again until the dough measures a 12-by-8-inch rectangle.
Step 7Fold the dough in half again, then cover and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Step 8Remove the dough and roll out into a rectangle. This time, fold the dough into thirds, as with a letter. Roll the dough out once more and fold again into thirds. Roll out and fold once more.
Step 9Cover and chill until ready to use.

This had the feeling of a freakish result, a victory for never-say-die attitude against all the odds, yet fortune can favour the brave. Arsène Wenger might have been scarred by Barcelona's first-half incision but rather than fretting about his squarish defence, his philosophy was less "How do we stop them?" and more "How do we hurt them?"
His substitutions were positive, whereas Pep Guardiola's replacement of David Villa with Seydou Keita was far more cautious.
The occasion went with the mood. Perhaps it was the only way Wenger could react to the runaround inflicted before the interval.
Barcelona's quick, short-passing game had enticed Alex Song, Jack Wilshere and Cesc Fábregas towards the ball to challenge, only for the visitors to move it on in a trice before any of the home side's midfield could intercept. Barça had been conjurers – now you see it, now you don't – with Lionel Messi their magician-in-chief.
Arsenal were too high defensively in the first period and the Spanish side squeezed the ball through the gaps at will.
So dominant had the visitors been that Wenger might have been forgiven for considering the employment of a five-man defence after the interval to cover the defensive width of the pitch, with his three central midfielders protecting in front.
That would at least have suffocated the space that had been exploited so ruthlessly up to then, even if the flipside would have been to have left Robin van Persie too isolated up front to force parity.
Instead, Wenger was bold. His side's passing was speedier in the second period, their desire to surge forward more pronounced.
Introducing Andrey Arshavin and, later, Nicklas Bendtner while retaining Samir Nasri ensured there were more passing opportunities for Fábregas and Wilshere to pick out, with the pair emerging more strongly into the contest, and Barça became more becalmed.
Perhaps the visitors had subconsciously taken their foot off the gas. Maybe they were physically unable to maintain their intense pressure of the first half. But they certainly gasped for a while and coupled with Arsenal's suddenly upbeat tempo, the home side were ruthless where the visitors had been so profligate earlier in the piece.
Messi, so sharp and incisive in the first period, rather ran into trouble, over-playing and trying to run with the ball too often where, previously, he had been happiest in his one-touch combination play with Xavi and Andrés Iniesta at his side.
He was outnumbered and crowded out at times so with Arsenal closer together at the back and narrower across the pitch, the spaces in which he had initially flourished were finally snuffed out.
The result should not blind us about some of the wonderful pass-and-move moments provided by the visitors, but Arsenal enjoyed reward for being bold.

The Cookie Monster described this mousse thus: 'You couldn't cut more smoothly than this into a piece of turf from the West of Ireland!'
'Nuff said.
Serves 4
Bring a pot of water to the boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Place a bowl over it, break the chocolate into pieces and put it into the bowl. The heat will slowly melt it, though you may stir with a wooden spoon to help it along. Take off the heat when no lumps remain.
Stir the maple syrup or stevia into the melted chocolate. Set aside to cool.
Open the can of chilled coconut milk. The fat should have risen to the top of the can so it can easily be scooped out. Vigorously whisk this coconut "cream" into a whipped cream, then add the cooled chocolate and whip again.
Pour into 4 glasses (or tea cups) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
Which of the three chocolate mousses from this series do you prefer – protein-rich tofu, raw avocado or rich coconut cream?

Top Ten supermarket Champagnes for Christmas
It's everywhere at this time of the year. You can't walk down a supermarket aisle without being bombarded with the stuff.
No, not the nuts that mysteriously dominate the shelves at Christmas. Who buys all these string bags of walnuts? Enough with the nuts.
I am, in fact, referring to Champagne, consumption of which goes up 400 per cent, or something like that, during December. We just can't enough of the bubbly stuff and quite rightly so because a good bottle of Champagne is sublime.
Retailers run all sorts of deals and promotions at this time of year. Frankly, the old adage applies: you get what you pay for. Of course, it's wonderful when you have the cash to spend on Bollinger, Ruinart and Dom Perignon. But buying supermarket fizz doesn't have to mean buying second best. There are some outstanding value Champagnes on offer – and some not-so-good options.
Here is my own subjective review of some of the big chains' festive fizzes. I have scored the wines taking into account price, the fact this is the supermarket sector, and whether they are non vintage or vintage. The highest weighting is given to simple drinking pleasure. I have awarded two McComb Star Buys.
The range in quality, I have to say, is fascinating and my views come with the standard warning: you might love what I hate, and visa versa. So take it all with a pinch of salt – and a smoked salmon canapé.
Co-op Les Pionniers Champagne Brut NV, £16.99
A perky blend of the classic Champagne grapes, dominated by pinot noir (70%) with pinot meunier and chardonnay.
Light, lemony, fresh and clean, it is made for the Co-op by Piper Heidsieck with the name referencing the Co-op's Rochdale Pioneers. Excellent choice for parties and it won't break the bank thanks to the seasonal £3 off the usual price of £19.99.
Score: 6/10
Sainsbury's Blanc de Noirs Brut NV, £21.99
A golden colour and a vigorous fizz in the mouth is delivered by a blend of the region's "black" grapes: pinot noir and pinot meunier. There is a rich, biscuit dimension but the in-house panel found the wine rather too acidic for our tastes.
Score: 5/10
Morrisons Signature Champagne Rose NV, £19.99
Light, pretty in pink, but oddly lacking in the burst of red summer fruits one might expect from such an attractive fizzer. It's a jolly diversion rather than a long-term commitment.
A bit peppery. And a bit of a disappointment. The only rosé submitted for tasting.
Score: 5/10
Morrisons Signature Champagne Brut NV, £19.99.
McCOMB STAR BUY
Head and shoulders above its Morrisons own brand rosé cousin, the supermarket's conventional three-grape blend (55% pinot noir, 30% chardonnay, 15% pinot meunier), by Louis Kremer of Epernay, offers staggering value. Our favourite non-vintage Champagne at a canter.
The wines are laid down for an average of 24 months before disgorging, so maybe this has an effect. Whatever the secret, this superbly effervescent Champagne is crisp, wonderfully refreshing, with enough lemony zest, minus the astringency, to cut through the dullest of December days. Score: 8/10
Sainsbury's Taste the Difference English Sparkling Brut 2007, £19.99
You know wine writers keep saying English sparklers are catching up with their French counterparts? They aren't. Or at the least they aren't on the basis of this wine from Surrey-based Denbies Wine Estate, which was produced to Sainsbury's specifications.
A blend of PN, PM and chard, it's tangy and moussey with hints of green apples and young apricots. You will need savoury nibbles to balance out the sharpness. Score 5/10
Tesco Finest Vintage Grand Cru Brut Champagne 2007 (Price unavailable.)
A very pretty Champagne with excitable little bubbles.
Very dry and full-bodied, it's 100% chardonnay, which may explain one of the panel's comment that it is "a little tart."
Produced by Union Champagne in Avize, I think it's a grower. But require a few more bottles to confirm suspicions.
Score 7/10.
Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Vintage Premier Cru Champagne 2005, £25.99
A very elegant fizz, with honey colours, good crispness and a citrus character. A well-structured wine with suitably toasty notes for a special occasion glug in front of a roaring fire.
One panelist commented: "A proper vintage Champagne." Which just about says it all.
Score 8/10
Co-op Les Pionniers Vintage Champagne, £23.
McCOMB STAR BUY
Wow! Superb aromas of delicately stewed apple and citrus fruits are followed by toasty notes and a light nuttiness. There's a nonchalance about the gentle bubbles, as if to say: "I know I'm gorgeous. I don't have to overdo it."
The wine has picked up gold medals at this year's International Wine Challenge and Decanter World Wine Awards. Plus, the Cop-op is knocking £3 off its normal price of £26 until December 31.
Very classy. Considering the price, it's our top tip for supermarket vintage Champers.
Score: 9/10
Waitrose Brut NV Champagne, £19.99
Biscuity with a bone dry finish, this works well as an aperitif rather than anything too serious – but is none the worse for that.
Hints of vanilla and pleasing, consistent length.
Score: 6/10
Marks & Spencer Brut Vintage 2005, £30
A proper, grown-up vintage fizz with a captivating light, golden hue. There's a touch of caramel on the nose, playing off lemon aromas. 100% chardonnay.
There's an uncloying light mousse and a long, rich finish. At £30, it's the most expensive I tried but this is finesse and Christmas fun in a flute.
Score 8/10

Patrick G. Jordan, viola
We're back in Melbourne, having played our second of two concerts at the splendid Elisabeth Murdoch Hall in the Melbourne Recital Centre.
Friday night + Lunar New Year + Dainty Sichuan = mobs of people.
The hall has an official capacity of 1,729 and I don't think we were far off that number. The audience gave us an extremely warm and enthusiastic welcome, which is a very nice way to start a tour!

On Saturday I am off to the Mary Ward Centre to do the first Saturday of a two day course called 'Scrumptious Stitch'. I did a course there before Christmas – a partner to this one called 'Subversive Stitch' which looked at what subversive means and has meant in the history of stitch with lots of practical exercises. We used text in a sampler style for a phrase that appealed to us. I picked 'Oh what a piece of work is a (wo)man!' which was the first thing that shot into my head . (It was only after I had finished stitching it that the Scotsman commented that I was misquoting and not in the way I meant to. It should be 'Oh what a piece of work is (wo)man!')
We also stitched into a postcard – mine was a Magritte postcard of clouds. I cut out and collaged some fluffy sheep in amongst the clouds and then sewed over with white thread…an idea which, if I ever find time, I will consider adapting to make greetings cards with… How to 'add value' using embroidery without spending hours stitching.
Everyone on the course was agreed that two days wasn't enough for a hand embroidery course – particularly for the novice stitchers – it used to be three…we were also pretty much all agreed on the deliciousness of the food in the Mary Ward Cafe….I used to go there for lunch regularly when I worked nearby.
Anyway I have sorted out a whole load of bits of silk and velvet, beads, sequins etc and look forward to the chance to make something of them.

Therapeutic Massage NYC is best performed when there is trust between me and you. When you open your heart, you open yourself, you let me in, it is only then that I can give to you, help you to heal your body. The trust between me and you can bring you well being and peace in the heart.
Each day we take the good with the bad, working with what we have, making the best of all circumstances and giving it all we've got. It is from the Heart that we emanate, performing our work and actions from Love.
There are times when conflicts arise, confusions take place, persons and trains running late, and tempers flare. When we are at fault, we can only express our apologies and try to make it up to those involved. When injustice is aimed our way, we can turn the other way, living with peace in our hearts.
Be nice to each other.
Even when someone is mean we do not have to respond with anger. It is always best to let them be and not take it in.
The Magnolias in Central Park know how to be….Happy!

To the Editor:
The publication of the minimum information for the publication of real-time quantitative PCR experiments (MIQE)1 guidelines (1) has turned out to be a defining event in the maturing of quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) technology. The response from instrument and reagent manufacturers has been universally positive. There has been extensive publicity in print, online, and at scientific meetings, and scientific journals are beginning to take note (2). Citations of the MIQE paper are accelerating, with 63 of the 169 citations (as of the end of January 2011) having appeared since September 2010. There is an enormous amount of good will toward this initiative, with many researchers keen to implement the different parameters within their own experimental protocols.
MIQE was never conceived with the intent of imposing an immutable edict, as in the spirit of a regulatory agency. The aim was to provide commonsense guidelines for enhancing the reproducibility and transparency of qPCR assays. MIQE, however, has become a marketing and selling argument ("MIQE compliance"), and this practice places a responsibility on the authors of the guidelines to assess whether the rapidly evolving technology demands refinement of the guidelines to acknowledge researchers' uncertainty.
Most discussion has concerned the stipulation of primer sequence disclosure. Many commercial qPCR assays are not supplied with the primer/probe sequences because most vendors consider such information commercially sensitive. In addition, there usually are no details provided regarding empirical validation of each individual assay. The increasing use of commercial qPCR assays is creating problems, because it leads to publications that cannot satisfy current MIQE requirements and limits the universal acceptance of MIQE. Consequently, we propose a pragmatic amendment of the original guidelines to require "EITHER primer sequences OR amplicon context sequence." This proposal is based on our assessment that in the absence of full disclosure of primer sequence, it is possible to achieve an adequate level of transparency, but only if there is an appropriate level of background information and disclosure of validation results regarding the qPCR assay:
Our key concern is that today's reports must remain technically accessible in the medium to long term. For that reason, publications must not report assays without reference to sequence data, with invalid Web site references, or with resources obtained from vendors that no longer exist.
We continue to affirm that full disclosure of the reagents used and validation of their performance are principal requirements for MIQE "compliance."
Full primer (and probe) sequence disclosure remains our ideal; however, it may be possible to obtain equivalent results from slightly different assays as long as they target the same region and splice variants and they take single-nucleotide polymorphisms and secondary structures into account.
Consequently, if primer sequences are not disclosed, a MIQE-compliant publication should provide all of the following:
The assay identification provided by the commercial vendor.
The specific amplicon context sequence for the qPCR assay. Preferably, this information is obtained by sequencing the target PCR amplicon; alternatively, it could be supplied by the vendor or approximated by the authors (Fig. 1).
The same validation criteria used for assays reporting primer/probe sequences. Specifically, when a precise -fold change for a transcript is reported, an essential requirement that remains is that the PCR efficiency, analytical sensitivity, and specificity of each individual assay be determined. Investigators should verify this information for the actual assay being reported under the laboratory conditions their personnel used in their laboratory; they should not extrapolate it from commercial assays validated by the vendors.
It is of paramount importance that commercial assay identification can continue to be traced, and it would be helpful to know why any assay was discontinued or replaced. Ideally, users should be able to order/use discontinued/replaced assays, either by the vendor providing them directly or by the vendor releasing primer and probe sequences for those qPCR assays. Vendors must also be more transparent about the bioinformatics efforts they use to validate their assays in silico.
MIQE aims to improve the transparency and hence the reproducibility of published qPCR assays by detailing minimum requirements. Crucially, "minimum" does not mean "ideal." The original stipulation of primer sequence disclosure as "essential" remains our ideal, and is strongly recommended for precise measurements or for situations in which qPCR forms a major part of a published study. Greater transparency in scientific research is always better, and for qPCR that includes primer and probe sequences. Nevertheless, given the commercial reality, we felt it sensible to modify the minimum sequence requirements. We hope these "revised MIQE guidelines" will enhance their appeal and universality without compromising the importance of MIQE as a set of standards that is beginning to achieve acceptance in the scientific community.

5 Things to Know About Sugar Substitutes
Do you know the differences between today's most popular sugar substitutes?
Agave nectar
Derived from the same plant with which we make tequila, agave tastes a lot like honey and is a bit sweeter than cane sugar. But unlike sugar, it doesn't cause such a jump in blood glucose levels. You can use it to sweeten tea, coffee, or drizzle on almond butter and Greek yogurt.
From the Stevia rebaudiana plant, the stevia used in sugar substitutes has no known health side effects. What consumers should watch out for are the fillers used in stevia-based substitutes. Dr. Nancy Emerson Lombardo, of the Boston University School of Medicine, finds the brands Truvia and SweetLeaf to be the most healthy, as they use a natural sugar alcohol.
Saccharin is a synthetic, calorie-free compound that is safe for people with diabetes. While the chemical has been linked to cancer in rats, there hasn't been a substantiated link to cancer in humans.
Splenda (sucralose), which is derived from sugar, was recently downgraded by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) from "safe" to "caution" after an Italian animal study linked sucralose to a higher risk of developing leukemia.
Aspartame is another calorie-free synthetic sweetener and is sold under the brand names Equal and NutraSweet. Most people won't experience any negative health side effects from aspartame, but there have been some reports that aspartame may cause headaches and digestive issues, and it has been linked in some studies to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Laurie Simmons in Gothenburg
Laurie Simmons
Gothenburg Museum of Art, Gothenburg
March 3 – May 20, 2012
Having started her career at age 6, when her father gave her her first camera, Laurie Simmons (1949, New York) is now one of the world's leading figures in conceptual photography. Beginning March 3 and lasting through May 20, the Gothenburg Museum of Art is the first Nordic art-space to hold such a large-scale exhibition of the great artist's work. The show consists of 60 photographs taken in the period starting from the 1970's, spanning all the way to the current day; various sculptures and video works are also mixed in among Simmons' printed images.

Simmons used dolls as models in her childhood, and she worked on developing this form of expression after finishing her studies (Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, 1971). In her work "Jane" (1976), one sees figures arranged in a black and white composition, saturated with dramatic lighting; the resulting effect gives the impression that the mute characters have gone through an emotional trial, making them eerily human-like. The said work placed Simmons squarely into "The Picture Generation", a branch phenomenon of visual art that formed in 1970's and 80's New York. Other notable members of this informal group were Cindy Sherman (1954) and Richard Prince (1949).

The pioneering coterie was united not only by their research into the history of photography and its technical limits, but also by the way in which they elevated the medium, both in terms of subject matter and visual aesthetics.

The dock behind the rental house only stood over water at high tide. At low tide, it stood over mud. We checked the time of the tides constantly all week while we were there, as we were going to have a good time even if it killed us. So with that in mind, one or the other of us would ask periodically:
"What time is the next high tide?"
As luck would have it, high tide would come the first night before three O'clock in the morning. So I woke by instinct to walk out to the dock and set the crab traps. I think I took a flashlight with me, because I didn't fall off the dock into the water. I remember hearing them go "sploosh", then I walked back to the house and crawled into the bed thinking I would jump back up in a couple of hours to check the results. But the sandman had me, and the ocean didn't wait around for me to wake up.
As the sun peeked over the horizon, high tide had slipped back out to sea leaving the crab trap and dip nets resting on the muddy marsh bottom. Besides covered with some reeds, a few were courting nearby oyster beds to make retrieval a bit of a chore. One small straggler remained in the trap even though the rest of his company had joined ranks with other crabs at the edges of deep water piers further down the Beaufort River. In spite of what some folks think, if a crab can get into the basket, he can also get out, except for the few who have not been regular about doing their crabanomics homework.
The smell of the ocean and the brackish water of the marsh bordering the river bank caused me to take a deep breath. I was happy to be enjoying such aromas which brought back memories of recent years as well as many all the way back to childhood. I loosened the top of the trap to let the lone crab who was not quite legal from point to point be allowed to return to the water. He hissed and spit showing no proper gratitude, and motioned with his pinchers that he'd gladly take me on if I'd risk to reach a hand towards him. I did not.
Not yet having had coffee, I made quick work of pulling all the crab-catching equipment up on the dock. There'd be time to deal with it later, as I intended to lower them all back into the water with the next high tide. It was a private dock behind the house we were staying in, so I figured the stuff would be safe enough for a while. However, when they were disturbed a little later, it was not human hands making mischief.
From the window of an air conditioned den, I saw the buzzard. At first I didn't realize he'd already taken care of the chicken backs and necks in the dip nets. What I saw was this large raptor tugging at the big trap, and had pulled it about three feet if not four further down the dock than where I'd left it. Seems the column of bait in the center of the trap can't be accessed from the top, so the buzzard was trying to find a way to somehow turn the cage over to improve his reach. With all of his full and devoted attention given to the crab trap, the buzzard could not manage to turn it over, but turned it around several times, never improving access to the coveted delicacies packed in the bait column.
As he tried to pick up the cage, his wings were employed in the process almost as if they had fingers. I say "almost", for if they did, the crab trap's position would have been no obstacle to the bird. He was using every engineering tool in his head, but without fingers and thumbs the best strategic maneuvers still resulted in no tactical satisfaction at all. I think I saw him shrug his shoulders a couple of times and appeared to be mumbling something that would be congruent to his frustration. I'd imagine by then the buzzard's muttered utterances would've challenged even his breath for a horrendous lack of social propriety.
It was time to continue Lila Bea's and Sir Benson Zipper Dee Doo Dah's education, as neither one had ever seen a buzzard up close, so I called them to come take a walk with me. At first they took no notice of what was going on out on the dock. There were things to smell and pee on, which is the whole point of a walk as far as a dawg is concerned.
A buzzard's business is no less intense or purposeful. This particular buzzard was so well absorbed in his occupation that the dawgs and I were able to walk more than halfway out onto the dock before having our presence acknowledged. The acknowledgement came on the heels of our announcement, a courtesy handled by the dawgs so that I'd have no need to ring a bell or say a word.
Zipper, though large for the Boston Terrier breed, is a small dawg. Yet he cranked up a deep baritone growl that sounded like a V-twin motorcycle engine idling sans mufflers. Lila, almost twice the size of Zipper, responded in a higher Soprano pitch she often uses when excited. Lila Bea seemed to recognize the bird. To my surprise, she began calling his name loudly:
"Hey, Ralph! Ralph! Ralph, Ralph! Ralph, Ralph, Ralph! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Ralph!"
That must've been his name, because he turned around sharply to look at us directly. From the glare in Ralph's wide open left eye, it's possible that he was not expecting company, and up 'til that moment, had been completely unaware of our approach. He turned to give us a gander with the other eye, and also to step back a bit from the two approaching dawgs, when one of his feet got tangled in a dip net that moments before he'd been using as a place mat or salad bowl. While graceful in the air, buzzards on land are seldom asked to choreograph a ballet. And when tethered and tangled, they can take clumsy to a whole new clownish level. I've never seen a dance quite like it, or at least not a sober one.
Ralph's beak was fully cocked as he quickly lifted his wings in the manner you'd expect from spinnakers of sailing vessels in a strong downwind. He lifted his untangled talon assuming momentarily the position of a martial arts expert, which I'm sure he was. This visualization caused both dawgs to put on the brakes just long enough to give ol' Ralph the precious time needed to free his other foot from the strings of the netting, and took to the air with such ease and gracefulness that it would seem anybody could do it.
Zipper was so impressed with the apparent simplicity of flight that I had to give a firm tug on the leash to keep him from flying off the end of the dock in pursuit of Ralph. Lila was pulling hard too, but was trying to mount the side rails of the dock hoping to grab the bird by the tail as he went by. She had him in her gaze, and followed his movements as he circled around to take a safe perch in one of the live oak trees behind us.
Ralph peeked through the curtains of Spanish moss, thus giving away his position. Lila made a bee-line to the base of the tree to announce his presence. The barking must've been sufficient to warrant Ralph leaving his perch and again take flight. He swooped down onto the top of a dock running out from the adjacent property. But there was no stealth in the maneuver, as both dawgs spotted him right away.
Lila went on perfect point due to ancestral traits, and Zipper used her as a guide to determine which way to dash off in hot pursuit. He wanted that bird as much as he'd want a tennis ball thrown anywhere, which is to be expected of the breed. Ralph saw us all coming towards him, but by the time we reached the other dock, he'd glided back over to ours. Both dawgs shifted gears and took off after him again, sending Ralph back up into the live oaks. The camouflage kept me from spotting him right away, but Lila knew exactly which tree limb he was on, and did her best to try to climb up after him. Zipper was temporarily distracted by a squirrel, but I'm sure the buzzard could still hear his motor running.
The ping-pong tournament between the two properties continued for a while. I took to hiding behind the house with the dawgs until he got close, then let them go running out onto the dock to flush him airborne again. Finally, Ralph decided to go somewhere else, perhaps to get a rest. I went out to look at my crabbing gear. The dip nets were stripped of any sign of bait other than a couple of chicken bones polished so cleanly you'd think they were put to a buffing wheel. The bait in the big trap was intact, but something else caught my eye.
The old cage trap used to belong to my father when he lived just across the river from where I was now staying. I stood there staring at the weathered old trap and thought about the many seasons it has sat in my back yard seeing water only when it rained. The chicken wire construction is coated with a black rubbery skin to protect it from the salt water. It's bent up in a few places, and near one corner the black coating shows a bit of red paint, faded now over the years, but still noticeable.
Just as I now store it outside, so did my father when he didn't have it in use. It's usual place to rest in his back yard was under a live oak tree right behind his workshop. One autumn, a good many acorns had accumulated all around and under the trap, and a squirrel managed to get himself turned around in it and couldn't figure out how to get out again.
Dad had been doing long term battle with the squirrels over matters concerning bird feeders, so this fella was a prisoner of war. And as a prisoner, he had to be marked in some way. Having just finished putting a coat of bright red paint on a toolbox he had repaired for a neighbor, Dad decided–since he still had the can of spray paint in his hand…well the squirrel was soon sporting a bright red high gloss glow-in-the-dark bushy tail.
As soon as Dad was sure the paint was dry he released him, and for the next several weeks enjoyed hearing the neighbors give report of seeing a most unusual squirrel with a red tail. He took pleasure in leading them to believe he doubted their tail tale, and suggested it was just an angle of the light, or that they must be hallucinating.
The buzzard incident taught me not to leave baited crab nets on the dock, so from then on at low tide I'd carry them up to the house and hide them in the trash can. You can imagine the smell, so I'll not describe it to you. With them secure, I'd be able to rest between tides and even sleep some at night.
That very evening in the middle of the night we heard what sounded like a herd of deer galloping across the roof, and knew it was way too early in the year for Santa Claus. But other than that seasonal oddity, deer don't generally run on the roofs of houses, and additionally they don't go about knocking over trash cans to get to rotting chicken parts, either. It is just not their custom. But raccoons will do both.
Thank goodness the dawgs were kenneled safely inside the house, otherwise I'm sure we would've made the six O'clock news. Later in the week we took Lila and Zipper to the beach to see how they would like surfing. The Yellow Lab was cautious. She managed the breakers timidly, but the Boston Terrier thought I was trying to drown him, and said so.
All in all it was a good week, and in spite of a few crazy moments, it was one of the more restful periods I've had in quite a while. As is normal, you hate for a vacation to end, but it's always good to get back home. The next morning, hoping to coax me to get out of bed early and make a pot of coffee as I'd been doing on vacation, Brenda asked in a calm voice:
"What time is high tide?"

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"-Emma Lazarus, The New Colossus
"We can't turn them away! That's not who we are!" Maybe we are, but even if so, I suspect that's not how we always were. But, before we move to make "The New Colossus" our 28th Amendment, let's parse it a bit and apply it to our present situation. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." I think that's an important qualifier right there: "yearning to breathe free". People came to America, come to America, because it is a land of freedom and opportunity. People who love freedom and desire it for themselves and others should always be welcome here.
The irony of so many people quoting the Emma Lazarus poem, ensconced on a bronze plaque on Ellis Island, is that while most of our European immigrants came through Ellis Island, it was also a point to turn some away. If you were healthy and could support yourself, Step this way! Right over here! If you were too sick to work, you were invited to go back wherever you came from, regardless of race, creed or color. I guess that was 'who we were'?
I was reading in my dead tree paper the other day, an account of a man who was seven years old in 1939, on a ship of about 800 Jewish refugees, being turned away from Florida ports. Was FDR afraid of seven year olds, Mr. Obama? They were fleeing the advent of the Third Reich, and unbeknownst to them at the time, the gas chambers of concentration camps. FDR must not have thought "That's not who we are" at the time when he turned them away.
Do we want to emulate Mr. Roosevelt? I don't think so. It does give a little historic perspective: just because you are needy, even fleeing a war zone, does not entitle you automatic entrance into the US. (This also includes our southern border) I don't think FDR feared the potential presence of a jihadist among the Jewish refugees. Nor do we want to emulate Bill Clinton, whose jack booted thugs grabbed little Elian Gonzalez at gunpoint to forcibly remove him back to Cuba.
Seems to me, there must be a path between the two extremes of let everybody in and let no one in. I do believe though, that as we did once on Ellis Island, we should try to vet those immigrants who are yearning to breathe free and would be a good fit in our country. Despite President Stompy Foot's assertion that "Republicans fear 3 year olds", there is a real concern that an influx of single males, of military age, could contain ISIS sleepers, or yet more malcontents like the Tsarnaev brothers of Boston Marathon bombing fame and their dear sweet mother!
Our immigration policy ought not to be a suicide pact. Obama beclowns himself when he tries to minimize the genuine concerns over letting potential terrorists into the heartland, by his use of ridicule and scorn. Care should be taken to screen those coming into the country, not just for terrorist ties, but for their ability to assimilate and to keep the American dream alive for yet another generation.
Good people can differ on exactly how they might accomplish that, though I suspect the answer lies somewhere between the two extremes.

The Ultimate Guide To Publishing Your Own Training Videos
More and more businesses start to understand that they have to use video as a key element in their social media outreach. A photo tells a thousand words, a video says it in million words. Here are some interesting video stats for 2017:
- By 2019, global consumer Internet video traffic will account for 80% of all consumer Internet traffic (Source: SmallBizTrends)
- Facebook generates 8 billion video views on average per day (Source: Social Media Today)
- YouTube reports mobile video consumption rises 100% every year (Source: Hubspot)
- 55% of people watch videos online every day (Source: Digital Information World)
Within this context it's important for businesses to understand why they are using video. A standard headshot style interview no longer does the trick. The most successful videos on the Internet are either controversial, shocking, cute, entertaining or educational.
As you can see on this web site, the videos on socialmediaplaymaker.com are all educational. People who attend my courses can get refreshers by watching video versions of my workshops. Often I get asked how I make the videos on this site. So below you will find the ultimate guide to publishing your own training videos.
Step 1 – Equipment: This is a crucial part of your video production. Most of my videos show my slides with a headshot of myself presenting. To be able to do this you need a "green screen". This is a green background behind you when you video yourself while presenting. With the video editing software you can then filter yourself out and put yourself on a different background. In my case, the slides. In video terms this is called Chroma Key. The next things I need is a camera. In my case, I use the camera that is integrated in my computer screen. Sound is also very important. I use the Rode podcaster microphone. As a backup I use the Rode Smartlav+ Lavalier Microphone for my iPhone which gives amazing sound quality. Finally I got two studio lights that give me sufficient lighting from both sides. I also try to add daylight to my videos. Nothing better than good daylight.
Step 2 – Software: The application I use to make my videos is Screenflow from Telestream. It's only on Apple OSX. But it does everything for you. You can record your screen, and simultaneously record yourself and your voice. You can then edit it with the Chroma Key filter to produce the video you need. You can cut the sound and add the sound file you created on the iPhone. It's a full video editing app and you can export the final video in all standard video formats.
Step 3 – Production: The production flow is pretty straightforward. I set up the studio making sure I have sufficient light. I do a short test so I get confirmation that the light is sufficient to extract myself from the green screen and add it on top of the presentation. I rehearse the presentation and then I record everything. Once completed I start editing the video. I add the intro and close, which are the same for each video. I then add the new video and the sound file from the iPhone. I then align video and sound and export the finished video in mp4 format.
Step 4 – Publishing: It is very important that you use a reliable video hosting platform. I don't recommend sites like Youtube or Vimeo since these are open video sharing sites. You can set the videos on private, but these sites are not set up for hosting videos with additional business features like bulk uploading or security. The video hosting platform I use is vzaar.com. An excellent, cheap solution to host your videos. Once you uploaded your videos on Vzaar you can then embed the video on your web site. You can even customise the video player. Giving it your own branding.
So here you have it. 4 easy steps in making your own training videos. Not as complicated as you think. But remember, these are just my preferred tools. You may have your own preference. That doesn't matter and it doesn't change the steps. Whatever you choose, you need the right equipment and software. You need to create and edit the video. And you need to publish it. If I can give you one final piece of advise: If you ask me what are the two most important elements in producing your video, I would answer light and sound. How ever good your content, how ever good your presentation, it will all go unnoticed if you haven't got the right light and the highest quality of sound. Otherwise, happy video editing.

Sounds of heavy gunfire at presidential palace in small west African nation, AP news agency quotes residents as saying.
Heavy gunfire near Gambia's presidential palace has been reported by residents of the small West African nation, according to the Associated Press news agency.
The violence rocking Banjul early on Tuesday comes as longtime ruler Yahya Jammeh is out of the country on a visit to France.
Witnesses who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals said that soldiers linked to the presidential guard were involved, raising the specter of a mutiny.
The deputy of the National Intelligence Agency, Louis Gomez, refused to comment on the reports.
Gambia is a tiny former British colony surrounded by Senegal on both its northern and southern borders.
Human rights activists say Jammeh's regime is repressive and has targeted political dissidents, journalists, and gays and lesbians. He first took power at the age of 29 after a 1994 coup.

May 16 is Serve Weekend You can and should look for the opportunities to serve the city with our annual Oil Change for Single moms and Widows... Read more
Calvary was birthed at the peak of the Depression in 1929. It started as a small group of committed Christians in a home Bible study, and grew to the point where land was purchased and a church was build in 1929, all debt-free! Isn't it amazing to watch how God provides?!
We believe that God has called the people of this church to present the Gospel in an uncomplicated and common sense way, and help each other grow into fully devoted followers of Christ. We want Calvary to truly be a church that is committed to Christ and passionately following Him. We're regular, ordinary people who serve a truly extraordinary God! Our desire is to be culturally relevant and Biblically sound, attracting others to the Gospel message and relationship with Jesus Christ.
One of the wonderful legacy's of Calvary is Whittier Christian Schools, started in 1947. This fine school has educated and nurtured the faith and intellect of thousands of students for decades. And now Calvary continues to witness what God wants to do in this city and around the world through future leaders.
Calvary Baptist Church has been assigned by our Lord the mission of helping seekers find intimacy with God so that they will become fully devoted followers of Christ, leading to transformed lives, and impacting our community for good.
If we are faithful and God blesses, our congregation will grow into an increasingly diverse community of people representing a variety of generations and cultures. We will continue to cultivate a reputation as a joyful, open, caring church firmly founded in the truth of scripture. Families will find us to be a dependable resource for spiritual transformation and nurture, practical guidance, and academic support. Many families with young children will be active participants in our fellowship. Our neighbors will welcome our ministry. And a growing number of people will find hope and fulfillment through new life in Jesus Christ.
We will eagerly and frequently gather for worship and fellowship in fresh facilities that foster enthusiasm and reverence. Our members will enjoy thriving, healthy spiritual relationships, gathering in groups that work and grow together well. Our missionaries will know they are loved by our congregation because of the myriad of practical ways that we support and serve them. Our families will enjoy discovering real answers from God and genuine community with one another. Our children will know they are appreciated and loved, not only by their parents, but also by their peers and other caring adults in our fellowship.
Every person counts.
Everybody cares.
Everybody contributes.
Transparent truth is our custom.
Accountability is our routine.
Evangelism—clarifying what seekers must do in response to Jesus Christ. 1 John 5:11-13
Worship—corporate celebrations of the work and person of God.
Teaching—leading believers to know and do all that Jesus said. Matthew 28:18-20
Prayer—communion with our heavenly Father.
Fellowship—God-centered, Spirit-enabled, soul-deep relationships of mutually edifying love 1 John 1:3. Participating with each other in glorifying God.
Equipping—training saints to fulfill works of service to which the Lord calls them.
Resources—a sufficient foundation of leaders, funds, and facilities for the accomplishment of God's vision.

I am a sucker for a good hydration pack. Call me a nerd, but I love to know all the details about the packs we carry. If we carry it, I've tried it on. At least once. The thing about hydration packs that is unique from your other running gear, is that you can get along with a not-so-great one and be just fine. However, once you find one that fits so perfectly you are thrilled to wear it for 3, 5, 10 hours, your life is forever changed. And guess what? Unlike shoes, you won't have to replace it every 3 months! It's an investment in your running future, and a very worthwhile one.
I was so excited for the new Salomon packs to come in this spring. I mean, you all saw the pictures of Kilian at Hardrock, rocking the Sense Ultra Pack, right? Well, when we got the pack in, I immediately tried it on. It was nothing short of amazing. Remember how I said I've tried on every pack we carry? Well, no other pack has EVER fit this perfectly. As a bonus, it comes in 4 sizes, so it will now fit a variety of body shapes. Here's what I love about it:
The Fit: It feels like you are wearing a second shirt. Or, as I prefer to say, it feels like you are wearing a hug. The material is so soft and light. It stretches perfectly and moves with your body, achieving its design concept of being worn shirtless (for you men out there), and chafe-free comfort for all.
The Lightness: It's so light that you have to remind yourself that you are wearing it, which is especially great news when running in warm weather. Even though it only comes in black, it's so light you won't sweat nearly as much as compared to most other packs (Sense Set Pack aside, which is just a whole different level of light).
The Capacity: Just enough for the basics. This isn't a great choice for your three day long mountaineering excursion, but it's perfect for racing, or training runs that don't exceed 30 miles (pending weather conditions). Also, unlike almost any other pack, you can access the side pocket with a single hand, and easily reach into the pocket with the same hand. No reaching around your waist to hold the pocket while trying to use the zipper and then twisting and turning to get your gels. Also, the back pocket can fit two large soft flasks and are both very accessible. The only disappointment for me is that the pack doesn't fit a reservoir. Call me "old school" because everyone else is riding the soft flask bandwagon now anyway.
The Fashion: Let's be honest. You wear this bad boy, you own that trail.

A quick forum search claims that the file you want is ~/.config/unity3d/Squad/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/Player.log. If you open the file in a text editor, it should start with "Initialize engine version" instead of "Kerbal Space Program" like KSP.log does.Hey I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before but the RemoteTech_Settings.cfg file seems to be missing.It will appear after you've started the game once. As previously requested, I'll add that detail to the manual soon.Also is it just me or is the coding for the cfg files seem to be all packed into 4 lines rather than spaced out and neat like it was before (if you get what i mean).That sounds like a line ending problem...?

From September 2017 to April 2018, Singapore played host to Spanish artist Manolo Valdes' first venture into showcasing in Asia, a sculpture exhibition titled Manolo Valdés in Singapore.
Vicinity Studios produced a 3-part video series, covering the hefty overnight assembly of the sculptures at Orchard Road, the invite-only official launch at Opera Gallery and hyperlapse of the displays at the exhibition's more permanent home – Gardens by the Bay. The studio also managed photography coverage when the sculptures were moved to Gardens by the Bay.
Using cinematic videography, the videos induced the grandeur and prestige of the event, taking the audience behind-the-scenes during the construction, building a crescendo to the launch day itself before concluding with the hyperlapse of the sculptures in the context of its exhibition space at the Gardens.

Artists, designers, and other creative professionals no longer just need a physical portfolio of their work.
Many job openings require a link to their digital portfolio and the website itself is critiqued in addition to their work alone. Digital portfolios allow you to share your work with clients or hiring agencies internationally.
We have completed portfolio websites for clothing designers, and fine artists to showcase their work in a clean way that does not distract from their work but instead acts as a foundation and makes galleries and showcases easy to navigate. In a portfolio website your work is the main attraction and details such as a resume, profile and contact page are used to support it.
A portfolio website can land designers more freelance work or drive sales for their existing work. However, there are important factors to take in to account when providing content for a portfolio site when striving for success:
- Images should be high quality both in appearance and file size, the last thing you want to do is add mediocre images of your work that may downgrade it's appearance.
- Your resume should be fully updated and reformatted appropriately to go with the look and feel of the portfolio site to encourage cohesiveness.
- Contact forms may be a better option since adding your phone number and email to a public website makes you a target for spam calls and spam emails. It is entirely up to the client whether they would like to add personal information.
- Links to social media accounts such as a Facebook business profile or Linkedin account are a great addition to your portfolio site. Make sure profiles are updated and cleaned up before we add the links.
- Gather testimonials! It can take some time for people to write you a testimonial or recommendation letter. Let them know ahead of time you will be asking for one and try to collect them from customers who will endorse your work.

1) Advent. The time of preparation for the birth of our Savior.
Advent lends itself to preparation in meditation.
Imagine you walking with Mary and Joseph on the way to Bethlehem.
What do you see? What do you hear? What happens when you arrive?
2) Christmas Eve. The home celebrations. We remember the Baby being born in the stable, surrounded by angels who will proclaim His birth to the poor of the world.
3) Midnight Mass. There is nothing as wonderful as this gift of Midnight Mass. Let the temperatures be below zero and snow pouring down.
I will worship God at Midnight Mass.
4) Christmas morning memories! I remember the kids waking us up to open presents! I remember their joy at the birth of Jesus. He was a little kid, too, and they related to His life!
5) The Marian feasts in December. The feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8th. This is a holy day of obligation. Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12th. There are many more feasts of Our Lady in December. Here's a link to see the others.
Click HERE.
6) This year, I will complete a consecration to Our Lady on December 8th. Pray for all of us who are consecrating ourselves to Our Mother.
7) The Winter Solstice is on December 22nd. That means from the 23rd on, the days will become longer and that spring is on the way. What a gift from God.
8) The end of December means the start of a New Year. May God bless us and protect us!
What do you love about the month of December?
