We interrupt the prevously scheduled programming of Baby Dave Pictures to bring you shots of our fun times with the snow.
The birthday boy got snow for his birthday. I'm thinking it was a great present, and it was free. Here he is playing out front with the neighbor boys.
My Sweetie looks good in the snow, he was recording the fun for posterity.
Sweetie tried to get the four-wheeler out and take it for a ride, it stalled in the street right in front of the house, here's he and Calvin trying to get it started. Such men I have.
Calvin taking all the kiddos on four-wheeler rides. Great fun in the snow & sleet.
Sweetie rode it to work to get some work done, he called me when he got there and told me how beautiful it was. Dan came and got the kids to take them sledding and dropped me off at the office so Sweetie and I could have a 'romantic' four wheeler ride home. Yeah, not so romantic, seriously thought I was going to die. Longest 15 minutes of my life. Sleet in the face, freezing temperatures in the face, not so much romantic.
Even the froggies were chilly. This was a few hours later, after some snow had melted...when we first woke up you could only see their eyeballs. They are so cute.
This morning was simply gorgeous.
The back deck, anyone for a grillin'?
Our home looks pretty in the snow, oh so pretty.

Happy Birthday, Baby!
My Birthday Baby.
So 12 years ago tonight, I was in the labor room trying to have a baby. Sweetie was hungry and went and got Kentucky Fried Chicken for him, my mama, his mama & his sister. I got ice chips, they were so yummy.
I think we watched Friends. And maybe some game show. Why don't I remember what was on television???
The anesthesiologist came in and gave me the wonder drug in my back and I fell in love with him. I told him not to go far, just in case I needed some more.
I think I slept, I don't really remember. Sweetie rubbed my back, Mama rubbed my feet, Mom-in-Law read a book, and Sister-in-Law video taped me, something that I will regret later as they used it to tease me...whatever!
At some point, a heart beat went too low or couldn't be found or something, all I know is I was flipped over to all fours, gave the women a show they'll never forget and everyone was rushing around. Ugh, such drama.
At about 5:30 the next morning I got to start pushing, this was HUGE! The sun was coming through the blinds and I got to push. This is when the 'sweet' nurse was telling me that I was doing fine...then my 'not so sweet' Sister-in-Law told me I was NOT doing a good job, told me to grab my knees and push like 'you know what'. Well it worked and out popped a Dave. Nice.
Next thing I know, he's blue, not breathing, the cord isn't cut all the way, grab baby & go, deal with me and then realize baby still not breathing. Sister-in-Law yelled at nurses to look at Dave and all mayhem broke out again. Of course, I'm delirious at this point and Sweetie is trying to soothe me all the while, not knowing what is going on with his son. Once all was done and fine I had baby and Sweetie had to go out to the hall to fall apart. The poor guy was my rock during the whole night, but once he saw that all was going to be fine he fell apart. Love that man.
Dave was 9 pounds, the big chunkster. Tried to bring some of my insides with him when he came out. Sweet boy. He had lots of hair (a bit scary) and big bright eyes.
And this is where I would have a picture of him while we were in the hospital. He was precious, still is. Take my word for it, he was a looker, still is.
There aren't any photos because it's after 9pm now and it's cold in the attic where the photos are and I'm on the couch and don't wanna scan photos right now. But just wait for it, tomorrow will be a real winner of a post, but be warned there may be some buns...just maybe.
All bundled and ready for our day of birthday fun...
Birthday boys' mama, he's one blessed boy.
Dave & Bryan, excited about what Calvin got his brother. They are such buds. Mr. Johnny pants couldn't come, what with the whole maybe bein' snowed in for the weekend thing.
This is my baby, he's weird, I think I'll keep him.

Scanning and Crying
look at that face, this was him taking his first steps. what a smile.
you know i had to post this, i mean, come on, love them buns.
yep, caught him red handed...he's was always the cookie bandit and still is.
ridin' the ferry across the San Diego bay to Coronado Island, one of our favorite things to do.
mama holdin' her boy, little davey was growin' in my tummy there.
that smile again, what a face! that was/is his red blankie, it is now nothing but one little red knot, but he's still got it!
sweetie was great at reading to the boys, love those zip up sleepers, he won't wear them anymore, don't understand why.
helpin' dad build the fireplace, the overalls, the boots, the plaid work shirt, the comb-over. ah, be still my heart.
he was a lover of the pooh bear. that precious face.
that's all i could handle tonight, i'm sure now that i've mastered the scan machine, there will be more photos from the past to come. this was just some from a little misc. album i could find in the dark attic...wait till i find the baby books, the wedding album, oh my, try to contain the excitement.

Happy Birthday, My Boy!
Today my boy is 14.
Fourteen years ago, I was laying in a hospital, recovering from a c-section, delirious half out of my mind, and Sweetie was hogging the baby. He was absolutely handsome with his little hairdo, the nurses gave him a comb-over and I fell in love.
(I really need to learn how to scan pictures, because this is where I would insert my favorite picture, the first taken of Sweetie holding his son, precious.)
We started the day off today with letting him sleep in. By the time we cracked open his door his little eyes were already smiling. We (Sweetie, Dave & Me) started right in to our song and dance....never mind that I was sitting on top of him while singing and dancing (the poor guy).
He got moved to the couch with the remote. While I made the waffles and coffee he channel surfed till he found some good cartoons. The boy got coffee, waffles with berries, syrup & peanut butter (no, not all on one waffle; that would be three different waffles).
Oh, I almost forgot the lovely birthday crown that I made for him, and in trying to make it not look so much like a tiara, it instead looked more like something that he'd wear to ward off alien invasion or pick up on some sort of radio signal. He's blessed to be in this family.
We made him go to his writing class, well, because we're mean and because the boy needs to learn some writing skills.
After class & after stealing Dad from work, our first stop was the Barnes & Noble, the boy loves his bookstores, and we let him have his fill. I did my normal of picking a stack of books and plunkin' down in the kids department while the Dave looked around...Calvin later found me by my laughter...I was reading 'Skinny @#$%#', that book is SO WRONG, but hilarious. Sweetie did his normal thing of making phone calls & wandering around the store asking when we would leave. He's a funny guy. Calvin did his normal of finding 19 books and trying to decide which ones to get. We told him the book on Quantum Physics was maybe over shooting. He's a funny kid, er, I mean teenager.
Once we finally left the bookstore, he picked Panera Bread for some lunch. Yummo!
With our full bellies we walked down to Best Buy and let him wander around and pick out what he wanted as a present. He got a new camera and Dave got him his video game he was wanting. He's a happy-happy boy, er, I mean teenager.
He was finally tired so we headed home. A lazy evening of playing his new game, learning about his new camera and watching movies.
I made his favorite meal for dinner, steak, mushrooms & asparagus. Triple yummo! And right now, we're gettin' ready to head out to Goodberry's for some birthday frozen custard.
Now for some fun photos from this past week...
Sweetie and me out one afternoon for a little date, coffee and groceries at the Super Target. Good times. Love my Sweetie.
Dave was dancin' the other night, you'd be better off seeing the video, but again, I'm a little challenged in that area, so you get a picture. Dave has some mean dancin' moves. Did I ever tell you about him takin' over a wedding reception dance floor, he was 7.
Calvin had his best buds over last weekend, we took them out to dinner, let them stay up all night watching guy flicks and sleep-in in the morning. These are some great friends.
Dave being Dave and sittin' on his Mama.
My guys in the Barnes & Noble, Calvin's a little excited.
Happy Birthday, my son. You are so very precious to me and make me very proud of who God is making you to be. I love you.

Thankful in Pictures
1. Coffee in the morning, measure the beans out, grind, perk, concoct, sip, eyes roll back in head with the glee.
Oh, this isn't a picture of coffee, it's Sweetie, in his lovely morning outfit. He cracks me up. I looked even worse when I took this picture, but I'm not about to post a picture of myself on here. It's not near as much fun!
2. What God is taking me through right now, loving the wisdom that I'm gleaning from this book right now.
3. Super Dave at the kitchen table, reminds me of Grover (from Sesame Street), dressed up as Super Grover in some book I used to read the boys.
4. Rose scent. My favorite Grandmother used to use some sort of lotion called 'Rose Milk' in a tall pink bottle. I used to love that stuff, the smell, the feel of it, my grandmother's wrinkly hands. I've always loved the rose smell, so I picked this up not too long ago. Simply divine!
5. What I'm reading for fun these days. Those Farm Chicks, are too much fun. Go check out her website and blog.
6. Being part of the meal swap, too much fun meals, and easy nights of not having to prep anything. This was the braided pizza we got (while it was thawing), homemade dough. Oh yeah, baby, scrumptious.
7. Meyer's cleaning products. I love, LOVE this stuff. I use the geranium scent, because I used to have geraniums all over my yard in California, and because they remind me of my grandmother, and because it just smells really good. (can you tell, I'm all about the nose?)
8. This cat. Ever since I had to take her to the vet to get something fixed, she and I have bonded. Of course it doesn't hurt that she's NOT THE ONE that peed in the house, THAT CAT has been banished to the outside. BAD KITTY!
9. This boy, even though he's been single handily responsible for improving my prayer life lately, he's a treasure that I love immensely.
10. Poultry. This one is for Julie. After hangin' out at our house the other day so her husband could watch the football game, I think she was traumatized by all my roosters. She called them poultry. Crackin' me up.
hey look, a chicken in the kitchen...
hey, another one in the living room...
check it out, a chicken in the dining room...
Poultry, it's what's for dinner.

People say I'm organized. And Sweetie just laughs. Probably because he knows me best. He knows what lurks in my closets and in my drawers and well, he sees this...
This would be my filing basket. I think I've neglected it for four months. It's become so overwhelming that I just keep putting it off. Can anyone relate?
But today, I could no longer deny it's presence. My accountant called and needed last quarters stuff, well, it's buried somewhere in there. I promised that I'd drop it off tomorrow...so now there is no turning back.
First I sorted it into manageable piles.
Then I sorted it into drawer piles.
All this, needs to go in here. Ugh.
The sad part is in another week, I'll start boxing up all of last years stuff and closing out the year. All this work, just to put it back into a box. It doesn't seem right, it doesn't seem fair.
Piles, I'm a fan of the pile. But I'm also a fan of getting them taken care of. Who knows what could be lurking in those piles. Like today, I found .32 cents, a very hard milk dud, and proof that we spend WAY too much time at the doctors. (and no, I did NOT eat the milk dud)
It's bedtime now, my filing is done, the basket is empty, my drawers are organized, my back is killing me, but I feel lighter. As if I just lost 10 pounds. And I did, 10 pounds of baggage piled up in the corner, weighing me down every time I walked past it.
So I hope you find your pile and take care of it. You'll be every so thankful.
with love from... Dena

Services We Offer
Main Service Offered...Interventions: To learn more about what an Intervention is please click on What is an Intervention? The intervention process is explained in the link The Process.
Other Services Offered:
Case Management Services:
I will remain in touch with your loved ones primary therapist and/or clinical treatment team on a weekly basis while he/she is in treatment. This will help all involved provide your loved one with a seamless transition into an important and much needed outpatient treatment program. This service is covered in the cost of the intervention.
Once discharge from treatment draws near, you will have an option to continue with case management services on a 30 day, 60 day, 90 day, six month or one year basis. We can discuss this before your loved one is discharged. Ongoing case management services will give me an opportunity to make sure he/she does not fall through the cracks of the substance abuse/mental health system. It can be daunting at best to find a way to navigate without assistance. I learned early on in my military service...we never leave anyone behind! A newly sober persons first 30 days to one year can be difficult. I will be in weekly contact with him/her making sure medical, substance abuse, mental health, appointments are kept and that they are sticking to a much needed regimented 12 step recovery schedule/other recovery schedule if desired. I will also work as an advocate and/or mediator regarding work, legal, other issues as they arise if required. Fees for this service will discussed if warranted.
Sober Escort:
If you are concerned that he/she will not make it to treatment after they agree to go, or will use drugs and/or alcohol in route to treatment, or will make a side trip to visit 'people, places, and things' for "one last time...one last hoorah!" on the way to the airport; I will make sure he/she gets to treatment and returns home as safe and as sound as possible. I will stay with your loved one until I am properly relieved by an admissions staff member at the treatment center we traveled to. A 'door to door' sober travel companion service.
Sober Buddy:
I will travel to your loved ones home town and be their "sober buddy" for a period of 72 hours or more if needed. The first 72 hours outside of an inpatient treatment program are critically important regarding the need for ongoing structure. It is not uncommon for 'old thoughts of using' or wanting to see 'old using friends" or visit 'old using places' for a myriad of poorly thought out reasons to creep back into their psyche. Do not be alarmed. It will pass. I will make sure he/she has mental health and/or substance abuse therapy appointments scheduled and that he/she gets to said appointments. We will "map out" a much needed 12 step meeting schedule as well. Again, we do not want anyone to fall through the cracks of the "system". As a "sober buddy", with permission to enter, I will make sure your loved home is drug and/or alcohol free prior to discharging from treatment.
As a loving parent, spouse, or friend, you may be thinking you could do all of the things I listed by yourself. Truth be told, you probably could. However, you let go of that enabling behavior when your addicted loved one agreed to enter treatment. You are hopefully focusing on your healing...your journey...your beautiful life. You have support. I am here to help. I can and will help you put together a plan that will make sure you are focusing on your journey. It is all related!

"[Motherhood is] the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. It's huge and scary—it's an act of infinite optimism." – Gilda Radner
Oh, Gilda, you were as wise as you were funny. It's true, you know. It is huge and scary to hold someone as small and vulnerable as your newborn child. I had held babies before but never with the heart bursting love that I held my own last September. I've never felt the same overwhelming emotion that I felt as they wheeled me out of the hospital, her car seat clutched in my lap, as I prayed frantically that I would know what to do when we hit the road and headed home, a place where a mere 72 hours before only had two human residents. Now it had three. We were three. Finally.
Everyone's path is different. Ours was rocky. We met in our late 20s, got married quickly, but waited to start the baby train. And then waiting was involuntary. We had talked and decided against extreme measures to get pregnant when we found out that we were already. The joy was instant but the fear of what could happen loomed. We lost our first baby at 10 weeks when the sonogram showed no heartbeat. I told myself, "At least you can get pregnant!" but the sentiment rings hollow when your heart is breaking.
We kept trying. A year later we found out we were once again pregnant. Surely, this would be the one! I took all the precautions, ate the right foods, didn't push myself. But at 7 weeks, three days before my first appointment with the OB/GYN, I started bleeding. I called my mother and told her, "I can't do this again." But I could. I did. We lost our second baby. I didn't understand. I couldn't make it make sense for me. My friends held me up, checked on me, tried to soothe my wounded heart. Those pink lines had promised heartbeats but I had yet to hear one pulse.
My husband and I stayed optimistic but guarded. I cried at night sometimes, wondering if I would ever have the chance to experience that elusive joy that everyone describes. At a dinner party, while all the women chattered about babies, I sat with the guys, drinking bourbon and beer, wondering where I fit in. I couldn't bring myself to go talk about baby clothes and parenting techniques; it stabbed too deeply in my still raw heart.
We went on. We vacationed. I played happy aunt (which I was) to my nieces and my friends' kids. We went to Hawaii and scuba dived, listening to humpback whales sing to each other under the waves. Returning home, I found out that I was pregnant again. They took me in for a sonogram immediately and there it was–the heartbeat. I've never heard anything so beautiful in my life, not until I heard her first cries. The rhythmic jumps on the screen were the first time that I connected with my daughter when I knew that my optimism wasn't in vain. It was the first sonogram that I had had that didn't end in racking sobs of another life lost. This one was the promise of life to come.
My pregnancy went smoothly, no morning sickness, little pain, even the summer's heat didn't seem so bad. The birth process was fairly painless (thanks, modern medicine!), and although it was the hardest thing that I've ever done, it seemed effortless in the face of what I now have to do–bring up this child in the way she should go so that in the future she should not depart from it.
I've known joy in my life, I've known pain. I didn't know that I could crave a sound until I heard my daughter laugh for the first time. Now every day is a game to see how much I can illicit. She's generous with it. She loves our dogs and the feel of kisses on her cheek, or when I nibble her fingers. She's alert and bright and sweet. And although I will always mourn the two babies that I lost, my darling Iris, which means 'rainbow' in Greek, will always be my messenger from God. That He did not forsake me; He only gave me what was perfect in His timing. Amen.

There are 8 shops proposing this game for download at an average price of $ 9.28. We found the best promotion ongoing with a discount of 74%.
No classic box available at the moment.
Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword is included in this package:
Explore, slay and conquer
The Mount & Blade series is an ambitious set of medieval strategy/roleplaying hybrids that is worth a look if you're after something unusual but which doesn't quite live up to its potential. The first game and Warband are set in a fictional land but this one takes medieval Eastern Europe as its inspiration, updating the swords of previous games with advances like gunpowder. You start out in Poland with a pre-generated character and your goal is to find favor with one of several factions and make your way up through the ranks. The game is generally open-world but there are several plotlines which are unique to each faction and which help add some replay value. The gameplay is largely similar to its predecessors, and involves exploring the land at will, chatting with locals and engaging in various combat-related activities, such as sieges and raids. You can choose to play a more strategic game if you like, avoiding combat and focusing on political moves and which also helps to give the game another feel. Combat itself plays out in fairly epic fashion, with large numbers of units potentially duking it out and with a range of gun-type weapons on offer here. With Fire and Sword is a curious beast which doesn't quite seem to know what it wants to be. There's a certain lack of focus that can make it a tad frustrating at times, although it does manage to overcome this and remains an occasionally enthralling experience. It's backed up by some pleasing visuals and a solid interface, making this one for curious gamers.

Disney's Eagle Pines DVC
With Spanish Revival architecture reminiscent of the grand homes of Florida's celebrated Boca Raton and Palm Beach communities, this new resort recalls Florida's "Golden Age." The centerpiece of the resort is a 6-story, 270,000 square foot, stylized "inn." Overlooking a championship golf course, ten additional 4-story buildings offer a total of 800,000 square feet of time-share condominiums which enjoy golf course views. Amenities include a 600 square foot pool, tennis and basketball courts, a playground and a health club. As a partner on the design team, GSB, Inc. not only provided Architect-of-Record services, but also designed the inn floor plans, developed the site plan, and assisted in creating the massing and dramatic entry elevations of the inn.

look down
We alone among the animals walk upright on two legs. What are we missing by not looking down? The ground is like the floor, something we walk on without paying much attention to. But look at how rich it is! Roots curl and twist. Tiny plants like snowdrops spring up while the earth is still frozen. Leaves look like Matisse cutouts. Even the sidewalk holds treasures.

Happy 4th of July!
It's American Independence Day today. Happy 4th of July to you fellows!
Here are some worthy quotes for you:
"Freedom is never given, it is won."
"Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people"
"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better."
"Liberty is the right to choose. Freedom is the result of the right choice."
"The greatest lesson we can learn from the past. . . is that freedom is at the core of every successful nation in the world."
"As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
"The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered... deeply, ...finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people."
"Liberty is the possibility of doubting, the possibility of making a mistake, the possibility of searching and experimenting, the possibility of saying No to any authority--literary, artistic, philosophic, religious, social and even political."
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty."
"Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one."

(1)The first practical application for piezoelectric devices was sonar, first developed during worldwar1. Piezoelectric materials are as a source of ultrasonic waves. At sea, they may be used to measure depth, the distance to shore, the position of icebergs, sub marines and the line.
(2) Piezoelectric devices found homes in any fields. Ceramic phonographs cartridges simplified player design, were inexpensive and precise, and made record players cheaper to maintain and easier to build.
(3) Probably the best known application is the electric cigarette lighter; pressing the button causes a spring-loaded hammer to hit a piezoelectric crystal, and the high voltage generated ignites the gas as the current jumps over a minute spark gap. The portable sparkers utilize to light gas grills or stones work the small way.
(4) It is used to detect sound, For example, piezoelectric microphones (sound waves bend the piezoelectric materials, generating a changing voltage) and piezoelectric pickups for electrically amplified guitars.

Microsoft has offered a bizarre take on wearable technology with a controversial new 'smart' bra for women.
Researchers for the software giant claim the undergarment will stop women comfort eating when stressed.
The hi-tech bra measures the wearer's heart rate and breathing and alerts them when their stress levels are rising by sending a Bluetooth alert to their smartphone.
Senior Microsoft researcher Mary Czerwinski hopes the bra will make women think twice before opening the fridge.
'It's mostly women who are emotional overeaters and it turns out a bra is perfect for measuring the heart,' she told Discovery News.
'We tried to do the same thing for men's underwear but it was too far away.'
However, many seem less than impressed with Microsoft's latest product, with one Twitter user asking: 'The most sexist product ever invented? '
Another added: ' Anyone else offended that Microsoft is devoting its tech research to a bra designed to prevent women from overeating?'
But Ms Czerwinska admitted keeping the bra charged could be a problem: 'Those brave women kept having to run to the bathroom to charge their bra.
'I think an insert in the foot would be good because feet are really sweaty.'

Hardrace Rear Lower Arm Bush (Hardened Rubber) - Lancer Evo 4-9
£133.20 £111.00
In Stock: Ready to Ship
Hardrace were created in 1998 with the sole purpose of designing and manufacturing uprated chassis componenets using the latest techniques and materials. Each of their components is designed to directly replace the factory part, allowing for pain free, bolt on fitment.
Replacing the factory original soft rubber bushes with hardened rubber items reduces movement, tightening the chassis and improving vehicle handling and geometry. This make the vehicle more predictable and easier to control. Hardrace utilises rubber rather than Polyurethane to minimse vibration and noise within the cabin.See Less...

The Cape Cod Canal 100-year celebration is tonight, with fireworks scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. State police said the display has been promoted nationwide as one of the largest fireworks displays of the year. Viewing for this event will be from the shoreline along the Cape Cod Canal, the shoreline from Onset Bay and the waterways at the west end of the canal.
The Cape Cod Canal 100-year celebration is tonight, with fireworks scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. State police said the display has been promoted nationwide as one of the largest fireworks displays of the year. Viewing for this event will be from the shoreline along the Cape Cod Canal, the shoreline from Onset Bay and the waterways at the west end of the canal.
State police said pedestrian traffic on the Bourne Bridge will be closed off at 8 p.m. Parking for the event can be found on the Cape Cod Canal Centennial website at http://capecodcanalcentennial.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Parking-Areas-for-July-29th-2014.pdf
The Massachusetts State Police in conjunction with the Bourne Police and Fire Dept. as well as the Wareham Police and Fire departments will be actively monitoring the event.
Motorists are told to expect a high volume of traffic and traffic backup is expected. For additional information on the event, go to http://capecodcanalcentennial.com/.
Marking its grand opening on July 29, 1914, the Cape Cod Canal is celebrating its 100th birthday today with a variety of special events, including a commemoration ceremony at 1 p.m., a tug boat parade at 4 p.m. and a grand fireworks display at 9 tonight from the Buzzards Bay Railroad Bridge.
Cape Cod Times staffers are on the scene taking in the sights and sounds and filing dispatches:
Posted at 2:20 p.m.
BUZZARDS BAY — Some people thought they heard an accordion. Others swore it was bagpipes.
But what they heard was a hurdy gurdy played by Bob Chandler, otherwise known as the pirate Silverbeard.
Chandler, of Woonsocket, R.I., sat on a bench this afternoon for what was to be a brief session of playing the instrument, also know as a wheel fiddle, but ended up staying for an hour as curious attendees kept wandering toward him.
"It's got a sound that captivates your soul," he said.
His instrument is a 31-year-old replica of one built in 1705. He's been playing it for about three years and learned it after he mistook its distinctive sound for the bagpipes himself.
"I think I played it in another life," he said.
Chandler is part of Free Men of the Sea, a pirate troupe that draws members from Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts. They were invited to the canal centennial to add some colorful characters to the crowd.

More than nine hours before the fireworks are scheduled to be shot off the Buzzards Bay Railroad Bridge, the shoreline of the Cape Cod Canal is already filled with the lawn chairs and beach blankets of those seeking a front-row seat.
Steve and Dawn Kenneally of North Attleboro planted their sunbrella, a large umbrella that anchors to the ground, off the canal service road and were unpacking the day's munchies as noon approached.
"We stopped at KFC on our way to get a bucket of chicken legs. We've got chips and veggie and dip and plenty of water," said Dawn Kenneally of North Attleboro. She and her husband, Steve, are staying in Onset this week and came to the canal with a friend from Wareham. "You've got to stay hydrated."
They were planning on staying put for the day's festivities, which includes a tug boat parade and the fireworks.
"We love this place," Steve said. "We come here every time we're in town, so we definitely wanted to come today."
Emily and Dave Armit of Sandwich were enjoying their lunch at the canal, but weren't sure if they would stay all day.
"That kind of depends," Dave Armit said. "That's a long time."

11:15 a.m.
With less than two hours to go before the day's Cape Cod Canal Centennial festivities begin, the Cape Cod Youth Orchestra was squeezing in one more practice of "Through the Bent and Twisted Arm," an original piece written for the centennial.
The youth orchestra is made up of members from three different groups -- the Cape Symphony Youth Orchestra, the Bay Youth Symphony from the South Shore Conservatory and the New Bedford Symphony Youth Orchestra. They are being conducted by Joan Landry and Tobias Monte.
The piece was written by Brett Abigaña specifically for the centennial celebration and for the youth orchestra. Abigaña is on the faculty at Boston University Academy — a high school associated with the university — and has written music for the Cape Symphony, among other groups.
- The official commemoration begins at 1 p.m. at Buzzards Bay Park, 70 Main Street, with a tribute to those who helped build the canal, which officially opened 100 years ago today, and the canal bridges.
- A tug boat parade begins at 4 p.m. from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. A grand fireworks display will cap the day at 9 p.m. over the Buzzards Bay Railroad Bridge.

Chipotle debunks the viral rumor that it will close all locations because it serves dog and cat meat
If you've seen some disturbing Chipotle news floating around Twitter, never fear: Chipotle is not closing all of its locations within the next year.
Twitter account @conspiracystory, which is seemingly dedicated to posting any and all conspiracy theories it can find or create, posted a tweet on Tuesday reporting that all Chipotle locations will close by March 2016.
As of Thursday at 9:30 a.m., the tweet had been retweeted more than 5,000 times and liked more than 3,000 times.
Many people who shared the tweet seemed to believe the rumor was true.
Chipotle definitively shut down the rumor on Wednesday night.
A few of the thousands of users who stumbled across the tweet may have been further confused by Chipotle's recent e. Coli scare that resulted in the company closing all 43 locations in Seattle and Portland, Oregon after a number of customers became ill.
No link has been established between the e. Coli outbreak and any individual Chipotle ingredient. The company is now reopening the locations in question, after replacing all ingredients, testing employees for E. coli, and implementing additional safety measures at all 2,000 restaurants across the US.

Thursday, 30 Aug 2007
MEDIA RELEASE For immediate release 30 August 2007 Leaders exchange expertise through Principal for a Day Improved partnerships between schools, businesses and the community are expected to be key outcomes of the Principal for a Day event to be held on 31 August. This year's program will involve 84 "Principals for a Day" matched with school leaders in primary, secondary and special schools in metropolitan and regional Victoria. Honorary principals new to the program include Victorian Education Minister Bronwyn Pike, Victorian Treasurer John Lenders, his Federal counterpart Peter Costello and President of the Western Bulldogs Football Club David Smorgon. Repeat participants include ABC radio presenter Jon Faine, celebrity chef Gabriel Gate, Australian Television Foundation CEO Jenny Buckland, and Australian Council for Educational Research CEO Professor Geoff Masters. The program, which is delivered by the ACER Leadership Centre in partnership with the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, builds relationships between government schools and the corporate world by enabling business and community leaders to spend a day running local government schools, where they meet with students, staff and the wider communities, and are able to experience first hand the issues facing schools. For schools, the program provides an opportunity to showcase the successes of state education, and opens doors for principals into business and community networks. For business and community leaders, the program provides insight into and better understanding of the young people who represent the future of Victoria. Principals for a Day report that the program is fun and opens their eyes to the sophistication of students' attitudes, knowledge, and engagement in current affairs. "Research points to the importance of strong leadership in schools, and the Principal for a Day program tackles this issue head on," says ACER CEO Professor Geoff Masters. "The Principal for a Day program allows schools to benefit from the expertise of business leaders who in turn learn what government schools are all about. The program assists in building relationships between business and educational leaders based on mutual respect and shared knowledge." The links forged through the Principal for a Day program last more than a day: 93 per cent of business and community leaders and principals maintain ongoing partnerships following the event, according to an independent evaluation of the program conducted by Deakin University. This year, 84 business and community leaders, more than 3,000 school staff members, and approximately 50,000 students will benefit from involvement in the program. For a full list of participating schools and Principals for a Day, visit www.principalforaday.com.au ****************ENDS*************

I have been looking about the site and understand that the US News site is supposed to be more of a starting point than a guide, so how did some of you guys go about finding "your" school? Did you start with geography? rating? probably research group activity?
I have little knowledge in who is actually doing great research in Condensed Matter Experimental besides knowing the big names such as the Ivy leagues and a few others (did not know that all Ivy league schools were not considered super awesome) and before I just start going down the rating list looking at every school I wanted to know if there was an easier way.
Any links to previous threads that talk about this would be cool.
Sorry I'm bad at this. Any help is much appreciated.
Additionally, I am about to sign up for the PGRE and it asks me to select four schools to send my score to for free. Considering that I am about to sign up anyways, how much does it cost to send my scores normally?
Thanks again

it's no secret that i love in-home sessions. they can be simple, passionate, gentle, or a combination of everything. they allow a pure and vulnerable side of love to be shown, one that doesn't get showcased in the same way on a mountain or in a forest. don't get me wrong, i absolutely love sessions out in the wild, beautiful nature...but there's something so grounding and intimate about being in your own space, in rooms that you spend hours a day in, making plans and dreams and love.
mike and jade were naturals at this, and i'm forever grateful for their allowing me to be a part of their love for the afternoon.

Our Victorian Bed & Breakfast
While the feel of the house is "Out West" Victorian charm, the late-1800s French antiques throughout the house will make you feel like royalty. And that is our intent as well. All you have to do is make yourselves at home.
In your room you will find: fresh flowers; extra pillows; a fan; a hair dryer; an iron and ironing board; healing bath oils(in Song Catcher and Star Gazer) and Rosemary, Cedar and Thyme glycerin soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion, a radio alarm clock/CD player to create just the right ambience for the perfect bath (in Song Catcher and Star Gazer) or fireside chat (in Stone Cutter). Or perhaps you'll have a romantic "party for two" at your bistro table overlooking the rooftops (in Star Gazer and Song Catcher).
To help make your stay as comfy and cozy as possible, you'll find luxurious embroidered robes in your room, great for that late-night foray to the kitchen.
For our guests who need to be "in touch," high-speed wireless internet is available throughout the house.
The Arizona Daily Sun is delivered to our doorstep each morning. There is nothing better than reading a small-town newspaper to truly get away, take you back and still keep you in touch with the world.
Your morning coffee, afternoon tea or evening aperitif can be enjoyed in the parlor, an elegant yet comfortable "living" room boasting one of the many beautiful and historic pressed-tin ceilings in the house. Here you can snuggle into the velvet couch and be mesmerized by the fire in the volcanic rock fireplace in the foyer. Or retreat into one of the books from our eclectic library. Maybe you'll just recline in the window seat and watch the world go by.
You'll not want to miss the opportunity to enjoy stargazing on the back deck. Flagstaff is the world's first International Dark Sky City, which promotes not only the work at Lowell Observatory, just up the hill from the England House Bed and Breakfast, but ensures some of the best stargazing.
It is our utmost desire and intent that your stay with us be as comfortable and interesting as imaginable.

"We are here to make disciples who are rooted and grounded in the love of Jesus, who in turn go and make disciples who are rooted and grounded in the love of Jesus."
We are a vibrant family of believers in Jesus Christ who are called to serve Him in our city. We are a family of all nations, colors, and tongues. We are every day people who love God and other people, because God loved us first. Calvary Chapel Miami Beach is a non-denominational fellowship of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. We are an independent church, but have chosen to associate with Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowships in the USA, and worldwide.
Calvary Chapel Miami Beach gathers to worship God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and to make disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ through the teaching of the Bible and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in one God eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: We believe this triune God created all, upholds all, and governs all. He alone is to be worshiped, served and obeyed.
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the word of God, fully inspired, without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule for faith and practice.
Jesus Christ
We Believe Jesus Christ is God's only begotten Son. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, and teachings. His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for his people, and His personal, visible return to earth.
We believe man is a sinner by nature and choice and, therefore, under condemnation, deserving God's eternal judgment.
We believe deliverance from the penalty and power of sin is the gift of God, which He gives to anyone who repents of his sins and puts his trust in Jesus Christ alone as Savior and Lord. Faith in Jesus Christ results in the forgiveness by God for all sins, acceptance by God unto His family as one of His children, a new life of love for God and obedience to Him, and a new relationship with other believers as brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Baptism with the Holy Spirit by Jesus Christ
We believe the baptism of the Holy Spirit is available immediately after salvation to empower the believer for living and service. All the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Bible are available to believers today.

Tickets: $10
All Ages
Dalton & The Sheriffs
Armed with legion of Boston fans and a new sponsorship from Bud Light, Dalton & the Sheriffs hit the road in the fall of 2016, earning a headlining slot on the Bud Light Down South Tour. From Virginia to Tennessee, from Florida to Alabama and Mississippi, the band brought Boston country music to the south to high praise.
Along the way, the band landed marquee opening slots for acts such as Sam Hunt and Jon Pardi at the Battle at Bristol, as well as supporting A Thousand Horses and Mickey Guyton at the Titans-Jaguars Thursday Night Football game at Nissan Stadium. In between their travels, the band also found time to open twice for LOCASH in the Boston area. Their work on the tour -- and at various additional stops such as the famed Bluebird Cafe's Sunday Night Writer's night -- earned the band three shows at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge playing their own music in November and December.
The band enters 2017 with a new EP on the way and their popular single "You Ain't Her" getting regular rotation on iHeartRadio's 101.7 The Bull's Backyard Country show.
With a new Bud Light touring van, Dalton & the Sheriffs are primed to bring their distinctive brand of country music to the country at large. Stay tuned for the announcement of several major appearances for the Summer of 2017.

Cameron Hatheway writes from Bleeding Cool;
As many of you know, the 2012 Eisner Nominees were announced earlier this week. As usual with the awards, there were some surprises and some snubs all around. Hell, an entire category was snubbed completely this year! With the winners being announced July 13th at Comic-Con International, this gives me enough time to share with you every week my picks of what I feel should win in each category.
Keep in mind I cannot vote for who wins (nor can you, probably), as per the rules. However, that's not keeping me from being vocal regardless!
Who is not eligible to vote?
- Comics press or reviewers (unless they are nominees)
- Non-creative publisher staff members (PR, marketing, assistants, etc.)
- Fans
Before I get back to work on my OGN so I can be eligible for next year, let the games begin!
Best Short Story Nominees
"A Brief History of the Art Form Known as Hortisculpture," by Adrian Tomine, in Optic Nerve #12 (Drawn & Quarterly) "Harvest of Fear," by Jim Woodring, in The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror #17 (Bongo)
"The Seventh," by Darwyn Cooke, in Richard Stark's Parker: The Martini Edition (IDW)
"The Speaker," by Brandon Graham, in Dark Horse Presents #7 (Dark Horse)
"A Brief History of the Art Form Known as Hortisculpture," by Adrian Tomine, in Optic Nerve #12 (Drawn & Quarterly)
Adrian Tomine does a superb job introducing us to a landscaper who pursues a new form of art that's a combination of gardening and sculpture, only to have problems getting the product to become popular and profitable. For six years Harold tries convincing family and friends of his seemingly natural talent, only to finally become aware that his passion might be draining his family's finances and damaging his reputation with the neighbors.
The Hortisculptures throughout the story are beautifully quirky, and only Harold can see it. The owner of the local nursery doesn't see them selling at his store, he can't give them away for free to his clients, and even Harold's own daughter can't easily defend her dad's works of art to her friends. Hurt, Harold comes to the realization that perhaps he was just born in the wrong era, and society doesn't see the true beauty of his craft.
The determination of Harold, the humor throughout, and the feeling of neglect are all things that we as the audience can relate to, and forms a special connection to the story. Both storytelling and art style of Tomine reminds me of Chris Ware in some regards, and there's nothing wrong with that!

Locke & Key: Guide to the Known Keys, by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez (IDW)
For longtime fans of this brilliant series, this one-shot was the story we've been asking for; a definitive list of the keys and their purposes. Not only that, but Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez treat us with a heartwarming story revolving around an earlier generation of Lockes, the true keepers of the keys. The key highlighted in this story is the Key to the Moon, allowing the user to open a door in reality, a space between this life and the next. The backstage of life, as it were.
Rodriguez's crisp art flows beautifully through every page, illustrating everything from far-off lands of Poet-Kings, to the 'wild and untamed west.' Hill's story choked me up a little at the end, giving us an ending similar to one of Stephen Moffat; everyone lives, and continues to gallivant off on never-ending adventurers.
Even if you've never read an issue of Locke & Key before (blasphemy), you would still have a magical time with this one-shot.

One of the advantages of freelancing is that you are not confined to your office. Instead of spending days in the office from 9 am to 5 pm, a freelancer works any time of the day and anywhere – in a café, in a park or at an airport in anticipation of a flight. You can record a webinar, conduct an advertising campaign, polish your website and all this can be done on the way to Paris or Bangkok.
With today's challenging economy, freelance and travel can be the best way to simultaneously enjoy life and make a living. The main question: how to freelance effectively while traveling?
Here are the ultimate tips on how to combine freelancing and traveling:
1) The most important thing is to allocate hours that you will dedicate only to work while traveling. At this time, no one should disturb you. Neither relatives, nor pets, nor TV shows. For example, I work for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening. During the day, I do personal things. During my freelance hours, I do not check my personal mail or messages, and I answer only urgent calls from my business customers.

My friend Karen sent me this quote and I love it. She warned that it was "strongly-worded" and might be difficult to unpack the meaning, but quotes that are strongly-worded strengthen your thinking, so prepare to unpack! You will really appreciate what Vinet is saying.
He offers a wise warning we all should heed. After you read it, I would love to know how it strikes you. What does it mean to you? Leave your comment below.
"Habits of thought are not less tyrannical than other habits, and a time comes when return is impossible, even to the strongest will."

Since using wise words is essential for speaking truth to your soul, it might interest you to see the origin of many of the wise sayings that we can store away in our thought closets. The book of Proverbs is an anthology of wise sayings. Israel's King Solomon is the most famous contributor to the vast collection of wisdom contained in that book. (Proverbs 1:1; 10:1; 25:1).
"And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore. He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five. And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon." (1 Kings 4:29, 32, 34)
While many sayings in the book of Proverbs came from Solomon, other authors are quoted also. A number of wise sayings probably came from a group of teachers known as Israel's "wise people." (Jeremiah 18:18) These teachers were known for their practical wisdom. These "wise people" were familiar with (and may have drawn from) comparable kinds of wisdom writings found in the literature of Israel's neighbors. For example, the thirty wise sayings in Proverbs 22;17- 24:22 are similar in style and language to an ancient Egyptian collection known as the Instruction of Amenemope. Other wisdom sayings are similar to those that are found in Mesopotamian and Assyrian wisdom literature. It is believed that the biblical collection of proverbs was most likely compiled into its final form between three and four hundred years after King Solomon died.
While the book of Proverbs may reflect the view of wisdom that was commonly held in the ancient world, there is one important difference in the wise sayings contained in Proverbs. As Matthew Henry notes, Proverbs was written and compiled "…by the Holy Ghost for making known the mind of God to us, writing as moved by the finger of God." In the book of Proverbs, true wisdom is set apart because it comes from the Lord God, and wisdom is said to have been with the Lord at the beginning of time (Proverbs 8:22-31).
Here is a basic outline of Proverbs (as researched by the American Bible Society):
1. Introduction (Proverbs 1:1-7)
2. Seek wisdom avoid foolishness (Proverbs 1:8-7:27)
3. Find life through wisdom (Proverbs 8, 9)
4. Sayings of Solomon (Proverbs 10:1-22:17)
5. Sayings of wise people (Proverbs 22:17-24:34)
6. Sayings of Solomon copied by Judah's King Hezekiah (Proverbs 25-29)
These proverbs are credited to Solomon, but they were copied sometime between 715-687 B.C.
7. Sayings of Agur and of Lemuel's Mother (Proverbs 30, 31). This final part (Proverbs 31:10-31) has been described as the epilog. It is an acrostic poem, which means the first word of each verse begins with a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

The words that we speak to our soul need to be not only positive, but also wise. They will be like a compass that guides us in the right direction of our thinking. Take a moment to ponder some of these wise thoughts from our peers...
"Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom."
- Thomas Jefferson
"To acquire knowledge, one must study- but to acquire wisdom, one must observe."
- Marilyn vos Savant
"It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things."
- Henry David Thoreau
"Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something."
- Plato
"Wisdom is not a product of schooling, but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it."
- Albert Einstein
"Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life."
- Sandra Carey
"Knowledge comes, but wisdom stays."
- Alfred Lord Tennyson
"The key to wisdom is knowing all the right questions."
- John A. Simone, Sr.
"The highest form of wisdom is kindness."
- The Talmud
"Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it."
- David Starr Jordan
"A man only becomes wise when he begins to calculate the approximate depth of his ignorance."
- Gian Carlo Menotti
"The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday."
- Abraham Lincoln
"The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are."
- C.S. Lewis
"We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes."
- Leo F. Buscaglia
Centuries ago, ancient Hebrew scribes scrupulously copied the text of the Old Testament again and again as a way of preserving Scripture for future generations. In doing so, they had to write the name of God countless times.
But they so highly regarded His name that they used only the consonants "YHWH" to denote His name and refrain from misusing it. Biblical scholars are not sure exactly what the vowels were for the divine name of God known today as the tetragrammaton. "Yahweh" is our closest guess.
Before a Massoretic scribe would write the name of God, he would first wash himself and then use a new pen. This was to show respect for the name of God and to carefully keep from breaking the Third Commandment. (Ex 20:7)
A Jew never even dared to utter the name of God when reading Scripture aloud. Instead he would substitute "Adonai," which means "Lord" or "Master." This may be the reason the disciple Matthew most often used the phrase "kingdom of heaven" instead of "kingdom of God" like the other gospel writers.
Now, don't misunderstand. Faithful men and women throughout the Bible spoke the name of God. God is our Father and we should speak His name also. But we should never be casual or crass in doing so. I think we could all benefit from having a little of the Jewish people's fear factor.
We should guard ourselves against using God's name without respect or "in vain" as the Third Commandment says. "God" is not a stand-in for "Wow!" So how about your "fear factor?" Think about how you regard and reverence God. Check out the questions below and do a self-assessment. Measure if you have an appropriate level of "fear of the Lord" by the way you answer the below questions.
1. Do you say the name of God casually? For example, "Oh Lord!" or "Oh my God!"
2. How do you feel when you hear someone say God's name as profanity?
3. Do you consider the clothes you choose to wear to worship as an act of worship?
4. When someone else is leading in prayer, what or whom are you focused upon?
5. What times or places do you consider "sacred?"
6. Do the words you choose in everyday conversation reflect reverence for God?
7. Do your entertainment selections reveal that all of life is sacred?
8. Does your life demonstrate the character of God?

Meet BrightWave [Infographic]
BrightWave has earned the right to call themselves North America's leading email marketing agency because they've stayed true to maintaining their position at the forefront of the email marketing industry (and won a few awards and written a few books in the process.) While other digital agencies continue adding new capabilities to their repertoire, BrightWave specifically focuses on elevating email marketing programs that drive substantial revenue, cut costs, and build better customer relationships for some of the biggest brands in the world.
3 Reasons Why We Love BrightWave
Renowned thought leadership and industry expertise
BrightWave literally wrote the book on email marketing! The agency's CEO, Simms Jenkins, is the author of the definitive email marketing books, "The Truth About Email Marketing" and "The New Inbox." He provided us with some insight as to why customers unsubscribe from marketing emails here, and detailed best practices on growing a subscriber base.
High-Level Value Proposition
BrightWave has over a decade of experience specializing in email strategy, creative, and campaign management. They operate as an extension of their clients' digital marketing team –– managing technology, working with their legal department, collaborating with other agencies, and ensuring email performance is optimized with in-depth research and analysis.
Proprietary Mobile-Optimized Email Technology
Bottom line, Brightwave offers a deep understanding of email communication that incorporates important elements like adherence to strict brand guidelines, and responsive design techniques to engage customers via mobile and desktop.
Our Favorite BrightWave Email Campaign
BrightWave has produced some fantastic work, and in our opinion, the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta segmented welcome series is our favorite. The engaging email content connects with select patients on a deeper level with touching stories, moving videos, and health information.We love when marketing is used in a meaningful way. You can't say this series doesn't tug at your heart strings.
Where To Chase Down These Tech-Obsessed Email Ninjas:
67 Peachtree Park Dr., Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30309
(Be sure you check out their aptly-titled nautical monster conference rooms: Siren, Kraken, Urchin, Poseidon, Nessie, Hydra, and Leviathan. They might even let you don a white sailor hat to tour the office.)

While I was traveling, I was reading three books at once – 2312, a dystopian book about how, even as humankind reaches out and colonizes the rest of the solar system, we are still hamstrung by our environmental problems on earth, Pale Blue Dot, Carl Sagan's book about colonizing the solar system, and The World Without Us, a non-fiction book about what would happen to the earth if we were all about to disappear.
In 2312, a lot of the space colonists live inside terraformed asteroids, which are manipulated around the solar system using gravity and special engines. Then, in Pale Blue Dot, Carl Sagan talks about the possibility of colonizing these asteroids and bringing them into earth's orbit, but how, if we messed up the movement of the asteroid and crashed it into earth, we'd basically destroy our entire species. Asteroids could even be weaponized, he guessed.
Then, when we got home, I read a report by NASA suggesting that, unless we rapidly change a few major features of our civilization – overconsumption of natural resources, population growth, and economic inequality – we're basically going to collapse in 20 to 30 years.
This is on top of the recent prediction by climate scientist James Lovelock that we have another 20 years of western civilization left, and there's nothing to be done about it. When I wrote about it a couple of weeks ago, I said I'm just gonna rely on technology.
Nope, NASA says.
All of this – on top of the ending of True Detective, which fucked with me a little bit – sent me into a tiny bit of a panic spiral, which Steph was kind enough to put up with. Seriously guys: everything's trying to kill us.
I wish I hadn't gotten rid of my fucking Swiss Army Knife. That would be really useful in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. I guess I've got 20 years to get another one, but the one I had as a kid was super useful.
I've been trying to figure out what this "collapse" looks like. Is it a collapse of global capitalism and the global economic system? Is it a collapse of government? How many people can live off of the tomatoes I grow in my backyard? Also, how can I get a backyard and some tomato seeds? Does this mean I have to buy a gun? I really hate guns. Or is it a more complete collapse, where we're all just poisoned by our atmosphere and die painful but relatively quick deaths? Is this a wacky, Shaun of the Dead apocalypse, or is this a harrowing, cannibalistic The Road type apocalypse?
The good news is that Steph's cousin works for Hormel, so I'll be able to get lots of free spam, and the other good news is that I'm pretty good with a slingshot. The bad news is, you know, we're all fucked. And I haven't even started learning how to build a proper bug-out bag.
While I was reading, I was trying to be a little bit hopeful about our prospects, about our ability to recognize danger when it's coming head on. But then I read this bit from 2312:
Well, shit.

The FTC is investigating Qualcomm, and Apple is suing them. Tim Cuplan, writing for Bloomberg, follows the money:
According to iSuppli, Apple's iPhone 7 has total component costs of $219.80 for the model with 32 gigabytes of storage. Assuming a licensing fee of 5 percent, Qualcomm receives $11 for every model Apple sells regardless of the fact that three of the most expensive items are the display (which Qualcomm doesn't make), the Apple-designed processor and the radio chips whose suppliers include Intel Corp., Broadcom Corp. and Skyworks Solutions Inc. If Apple were to increase the storage to 128 gigabytes, Qualcomm's revenue would increase accordingly despite the fact that it doesn't even make storage chips. Increase the display size (and thus the cost), Qualcomm collects. A better camera: You guessed it, more money to Qualcomm.
I heard similar a few years ago. Basically that you (Apple) pay, and pay a lot, regardless of whether or not you need the technology. For example, CDMA outside Verizon or Sprint. If you ever wondered why there was a $130 surcharge for iPads with cellular radios, that's the primary reason. Think about what that would translate into for a $3,000 MacBook Pro... and maybe why we don't have that MacBook Pro.
Either way, there are issues of standards-based FRAND technology patents, reasonableness, abusive practices, and the future of wireless to contend with here. Qualcomm — and CDMA — have arguably been holding us back for years.
Depending on how the FTC investigation and lawsuits turn out, that could finally be over.

Additional Photos by Isle of Man TT
Chances are you've never heard of the Isle of Man or know of its whereabouts. It's a tiny island (about 355 square miles) that's nestled in between England, Ireland, and Scotland. You can get there by ferry or a small propeller plane, and for 50 weeks out of the year, it's quiet and peaceful with only around 88,000 residents—many of whom don't live on the island full-time. Jeremy Clarkson has a huge estate there, which might be why the island has received some attention in recent years. However, its main attraction takes place every spring for two weeks when 40,000+ bike enthusiasts come from all around the world to watch the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT).
Since 1907, the TT is a motorcycle race that tests riders on the island's twisty, challenging, and unforgiving public roads. 200+ professional riders enter the most grueling test of their careers, averaging up to 130+mph through the entire 37.75-mile course with top speeds easily reaching 200 mph. If it sounds crazy, it's because it is! Nearly 250 people have lost their lives in TT history—in fact, two riders died this year.
So why does such a deadly race survive? It's hard to say. If the constant fatalities of TT happened on American soil, you can bet the race would have terminated decades ago. For competitors, they all wake up on race day knowing there's a good chance they could die or come home with permanent injuries. It's simply a way of life for these riders. They do it, not because they're insane, but because of their love for the sport.
The Isle of Man's treacherous roads and a TT rider's mentality are perhaps why a company like Subaru supports the race. Subaru has always backed rally programs in the past, putting its cars through the toughest road conditions known to man. The Isle of Man is just another channel to show the world what its brand and its cars are all about.
So when an invitation to make the 15+hour journey to Europe arrived in my inbox, it was a no-brainer to check out why Subaru jumped on board. In a matter of two days, I managed to ride shotgun with Mark Higgins in a bone-stock '15 STI pace car for a hot lap (similar car to what Mark set the record in '14 with an average speed of 117.510 mph) and also watch the Superbike record broken by John McGuinness on the last day of the TT race with an average speed of 132.701 mph. It was honestly an unreal experience to see the entire course at high speed. There are 264 different corners where any mistake could result in a collision with someone's house, a stone wall, telephone pole, or tree. In a car, the damage and pain in a crash are scary to think about. On a bike, well, there's no arguing why this is the most dangerous race in the world.
'15 Subaru WRX STI NR4 built by JRM
On our trip, it was the first time former British Rally Champion Mark Higgins shook down JRM's latest NR4-spec WRX STI production rally car. We were taken to one of the bumpiest stages of the Manx Rally called Druidale, where Mark tested the car and gave every journalist on our trip a ride-along. The car performed like a champ without any faults or hiccups, except us nearly losing our lunch a little bit…
By the Numbers
Number of bike enthusiasts who visit Isle of Man during race weeks.
Feet is the amount of elevation change during the race.
Number of corners. That's 1,584 corners during a complete six-lap race!
Riders who have been killed since 1907.
Miles per hour—the top speed ever registered set by James Hillier last June on a 300+hp supercharged Kawasaki Ninja H2R.
Average miles per hour John McGuinness clocked in to win his 23rd TT victory and set a new record.
Average miles per hour Mark Higgins clocked last year in a '15 Subaru WRX STI.
Number of podium wins by John McGuinness. He is also 43 years old.
Miles is the length of the road course. 226.5 total miles in total for the six-lap race. In contrast, the Nordschleife track at Nürburgring is 12.9 miles.

Original hardened steel nozzle for E3D V6 hot-ends.
In Stock
Warning: Last items in stock!
Availability date:
Hardened steel nozzles are a must for highly abrasive materials. Regular brass nozzles will degrade very quickly and lose their properties.
Most of the abrasive materials are composites, plastics with something mixed in. Some examples are ColorFabb XT CF20, ColorFabb Bronzefill, ColorFabb Brassfill and some glow in the dark filaments. Always ask your filament vendor if you are not sure. Slight disadvantage is that some standard materials like ABS isn't possible to print as fast as with regular nozzle.
