Show Review: Folly and The Hunter at the Cedar Tree Oct. 17
By; Will Pacey
It was a beautiful autumn day in Fredericton: the skies were clear and blue, and the shadows of leaves being blown about by the wind danced across the walls of downtown houses. Conditions were perfect for an evening of dreamy autumnal folk at The Cedar Tree Café. Montreal indie-folkers Folly and the Hunter would be playing later that evening, with local songsmith Cedric Noel slated as the opening act.
By sundown, the weather had cooled down substantially, and the thought of warm espresso and cold beer paired with introspective folk offerings made for a perfect excuse to head downtown. At the café, the scene was dimly lit and intimate, and though it was unlike the intimate setting of a lover's bedroom at night, the music and lyrics of the night's performers would at times bring that setting to mind. When everyone had checked their instruments and voices, the stage was adorned with Christmas lights, and it was soon time for Cedric Noel to play.
Noel started his set in a confident yet subdued manner, jangling out chords on his electric guitar while his vocals soared and dipped over the droning rhythms. He showcased a song he wrote for an upcoming short film, and performed a set that included many newly written songs. The set seemed to follow a natural crescendo that culminated in the resounding "Sit and Stare," and the gentler, lamenting "The River." At the end, he humbly thanked the crowd, and it was out into the cold fall air for those who wanted a smoke break, while Folly and the Hunter began setting up.
Check out Cedric Noel's latest record below:
Folly and The Hunter's set began with an ambient drone and the sound of a home organ. The vocals of Nick Vallee and his bandmates soon took the forefront, drawing the audience in. It was clear that this band's music would be something magical. After a quick microphone swap, it was on to the second song. Guitar and banjo made their first appearances of the night for the captivating and catchy "Raising the Dead." The stripped-down sound of this band on the road was perfect for the space. Drummer Nick Scofield played his parts on a floor tom and cymbal with mallets, brushes, and the occasional egg shaker. Three-part harmonies blended well with the effected guitar and glockenspiel playing of Laurie Torres, and the banjo and reed organ work of Christopher Fox, who perfectly rounded out the four-piece as instrumentalists and vocalists. At times, the banjo could almost be mistaken for a piano in its timbre, and although the band was without a violin or cello player, the sound was nonetheless orchestral.
The band was very thankful to be back in Fredericton, and between songs the soft-spoken Vallee was sincere, while at the same time being playful with the audience. The band talked of watching A Night at the Roxbury on the DVD player in the van on their way to Fredericton, and told the audience they would be able to recognize the final song of the evening – a haunting and unhurried version of the club hit "Call your Girlfriend" by Swedish recording artist Robyn – if they were "cool enough." And while some searched lyrics on their smart phones, it became apparent that this band had taken a song that was not theirs and very much made it their own. The lyrics were such a flawless match for Folly and the Hunter's signature style of folk that one had to wonder how it was not one of their original songs. With one final chord, the dreaminess of the evening was over, and the audience was left to bask in its afterglow, slowly spilling out into the night.
Have a listen to Folly and the Hunter's debut record below:

Optical switch puts electric transistors in the shade
AN OPTICAL transistor that switches a laser beam on and off, rather than an electric current, could form the building block of future light-based computers.
Vahid Sandoghdar and colleagues at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich suspended a hydrocarbon dye molecule in a crystalline matrix cooled by liquid helium. They then aimed a weak orange laser beam at the molecule, which soaks up most of its energy.
When they zapped the hydrocarbon molecule with a weak green beam it re-radiated orange light (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature08134). "That light then constructively interferes with the orange beam and makes it brighter, effectively amplifying it," says researcher …

"The Year of Living Biblically" - part II
After a long delay (Sorry, I got distracted), we're moving on to months 4-6 in A.J. Jacob's "year of living biblically:"
The author decides to take the command "Let your garments always be white" (Eccl. 9:8) to heart, wearing, "white pants, white T-shirts, a white sweater, and a white zip-up jacket from the Gap..." like an Hasidic John Travolta.
Though looking a bit like a nomadic pastry chef in his whites, wandering around New York City, Jacobs indicates,
"...the thing is, I'm enjoying it. My white wardrobe makes me feel lighter, more spiritual. Happier. It's further proof of a major theme of this year: The outer affects the inner. Behavior shapes your psyche as much as the other way around. Clothes make the man."
What do you think? Is the Christian journey an inside-out life, or an outside-in one? Is there any truth to Jacob's position on this? Which one is the New Covenant (new way) Jesus invites us into?

I took this from post 13.
I know many come on the thread and say "sorry I can not tell you where I get my information from, where I work, if my friend works for apple, if he works for an Apple reseller, wholesaler or the big one...I can't tell you because I signed a disclosure etc." Some people who have these reasons, as some see them as excuses, can be true, as with me. I would love to just be able to come out and say "hey, I work for Apple, F*** that disclosure form, this is what I know" but I can't do that. Again...Sorry.
Again sorry, but I did give a lot of hints in that post.

I told Time to wait till today and tell everyone to kiss his hairy ass, he didn't tho
hehe, well, now I gotta figure out if I'm gettting the dualie 1.0ghz. mmmmmm, where's my G5Reply 96 of 119I would also like to point out that when I decimate a supposed insider my track record is 100%.
Kormac = bullshit. 0.000 batting average. CRAP! Steaming piles of it.
Dorsal = probably true, but with a few degrees of seperation between his access and final product.
Time = wait and see. Turns out he was right. What he proposed was verifiable in short order: no "maybe for next time" nonsense. What he stated he was right and limited to what he knew. He didn't try to build it up. So the reasonable thing to do was wait to see if it panned out. It did.
However, I'd hardly blame those who suspected him. They've grown weary from months of Kormac's bullshit. Time didn't deserve to get yelled at, but after month's of ripe stinking dung, it remains amazing to me that some of you will rush to the defence of Kormac yet call for the head of any other potential source of rumor (real or invented). So the reasonable thing to do is blame Kormac for creating this atmosphere of suspicion and doubt. Death to the Korean infidel!Reply 97 of 119moki Posts: 551member[quote]Originally posted by KidRed:
hehe, well, now I gotta figure out if I'm gettting the dualie 1.0ghz. mmmmmm, where's my G5

Hope springs eternal, I suppose.
But G5 hype aside (again -- don't expect it any time soon), the dual 1ghz model looks pretty sweet to me.
Must keep finger away from the "buy" button...Reply 98 of 119philbot Posts: 240memberHey Time (or is that Tim?) can you give us a hint about where you work?
I'm guessing you are based somewhere like Mac Mart? or maybe you work at the printers where the boxes are made?

Android 5.1.1 comes to the NVIDIA Shield Tablet
posted by Alan F. / Jul 31, 2015, 4:52 AM
The NVIDIA Shield Tablet has received an update to Android 5.1.1. Besides the new build of the Android OS, the update includes a fix for an audio problem that plagues users of the slate. When loading certain games, some Shield owners reportedly hear a loud noise that is characterized as a screeching sound. The update also brings the usual performance improvements and stability, along with system-wide optimizations and fixes.
Back in April, we told you to expect the Android 5.1.1 update to hit the device within weeks. The update took a little bit longer than expected, but it is now here. Because it is being sent out in waves, you might have to wait a few days, or even longer, for it to arrive. If it hasn't yet arrived, there is no reason to call out the National Guard. Be patient, and eventually Android 5.1.1 will be running on your NVIDIA Shield. And hopefully you won't have to put up with that screeching sound any longer.

Try a Surface 3(or surface pro 3 if you need more processing power) instead then. The Surface pen is the best in the tablet/2in1 industry. It very accurately recognizes varying pressure levels and is so precise you can use it to draw as if you were drawing with a pencil and make great artwork(with the ability to hit the undo button if you screw up, which is easier to fix mistakes than actually drawing anyways). :)

Surface 3 and pro 3 is not worth the asking price now. Its overprice, its overheat for Core i7 model and has outed dated spec. Its also heavier and clunky compare to other 2015 ultra portables. I know you love your Surface Pro 3 that great but please don't repeat it again and again. If you don't want me to troll you. You really think a person that wants to buy a Windows tablet would swap for an Android one or vice via. Surface 4 is the answer not surface 3. For the same price i would rather buy other brand ultra portable that are both cheaper and comes with the latest Intel 5th gen CPU.

Did you not read your own article? It states that the problems are very uncommon and the majority do not have them. I don't suppose you have ever read any reviews it have you? The majority of people with a Surface pro 3, love their surface pro 3 and the primary thing that is disliked is the price point.

Not the Nvidia that I have come to know that would own up their mistake. I would be impressed if they do follow thru with their product recall. Both Samsung and Apple devices did caught fire but no recall were issued.

Best solution to end economic crisis in Turkey is to fix lira to dollar or euro - WSJ
The most logical way for Turkey to escape its current economic crisis is to fix the Turkish lira to the dollar or euro, The Wall Street Journal said.
"The best solution is to implement a currency board that fixes the lira to the dollar or euro. After freezing the monetary base, the lira would float for a period before a fixed rate is set," WSJ said.
This could be the best option for Ankara to recover from the slumping economy since Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has long boasted of ending the country's dependency on the IMF and openly said he didn't want to work with the organisation again.
However, the decision is still hard for a leader like Erdoğan, who tightened his grip on all governmental institutions after winning last year's presidential election, since it would mean handing over control of monetary policy to Washington or Frankfurt, according to WSJ.
"Yet Mr. Erdogan shows no signs of understanding his own role in the lira mess, so investors and financial ministries around the world should prepare in case of a lira crash," the U.S.-based daily said.

When John Anderson was a law student at Loyola Law School in the 1940s, he was always the last guy left in the law library. That's because Anderson worked eights hours a day as a CPA before heading off to law school each night.
"The father [head priest] of the Catholic law school would always come around and kick me out," recalls Anderson. "I guess he got tired of doing it, so one time he came around and said, 'You know, Anderson, if you're going to be a lawyer, you've got to be trusted.'
"So he put his hand on my shoulder and slapped something on the table and said, 'Here's the key to the law school. Be sure to turn the lights off when you leave. I trust you.'"
That one simple action forged a lifelong business philosophy for Anderson.
"The back of my neck still pricks up when I think about it," he says. "Since then, I've often thought that trust is very important. You can get burned, and I have, but in the long run, I've trusted people, and it's worked for me."
Anderson, an octogenarian and Forbes billionaire, is one of the best-known executives and philanthropists in Los Angeles. As chairman and CEO of Topa Equities Ltd., he oversees a multibillion-dollar empire comprised of 42 businesses in such diverse industries as agriculture, car dealerships, insurance, real estate and wholesale beverage distribution. And he has applied his lesson in trust at every step along the way of his business life.
"I have a strong belief in people," he says. "I trusted people a great deal during my career and try to count on them and treat them accordingly."
Operating from that base philosophy, Anderson has applied three other important lessons to his businesses.
First, take care of your company and your employees. Compensate your staff fairly, but don't do so at the expense of your operations.
"I'm a great believer that if you take care of a company, it will take care of you," Anderson says. "But if you abuse it, you'll lose it. So I always try to protect the company and not milk it."
Second, always conduct yourself ethically.
"Having integrity is very important," he says. "I'm not a goodie-goodie, but I believe that doing the right thing is not only proper, but in the long run, it's the smart thing to do. Over the years, I've seen it work to my advantage."
And finally, be willing to take off the blinders that most focused businesspeople wear and recognize a good opportunity when it presents itself.
"I would like to think I planned all of this when I was attending Harvard Business School," Anderson says with a laugh. "But the truth is, most of it just comes along. And you have to be sure you're in a situation that isn't all tunnel-focused. You have to learn to see opportunities."

Stop Wasting Time! Get Your Employees to Work Smarter (Not Harder!)
Date: Tuesday, August 13th, 1:30pm ET
Employees are the key to a professional services firm's success. Yet many firms promote technical people into roles they are not prepared or ready for. As a result, project profitability suffers and there is frustration at every level of the organization. By enabling employees, through financial and systems training, automation, and accountability measures, the firm's profit margins can increase substantially.

Living on the Edge
Why designing for edge cases can have hidden benefits
If you look across the internet at articles on edge cases, you'll likely see a list of ways to avoid them and their lack of benefit. But what are some good scenarios which can come from designing for edge cases?
An edge case is a scenario in which a user need is deemed less likely to be necessary, and because it is less likely to occur, it is often neglected. This, in theory, makes sense though; if you imagine an effort vs impact matrix, an edge case would place in a low impact quadrant.
1. Edge cases can cover many scenarios
Let's consider we are creating a product with an edge case of designing the product for a user with one arm. Designing a product for a user with one arm can initially seem like an edge case, but it also takes several scenarios into consideration; from extreme to slight, or in this case from permanent to temporary.
By designing for a user with one arm, we are also designing for a user with a sore arm, or a user who is holding an umbrella in one hand, or a user laying on their side in bed.
Scenarios which initially appear as edge cases can cover a wider variety of scenarios along the way.
2. Edge cases can be inclusive
Edge cases are important and shouldn't be ignored just because it exists outside of the 'average', as designing for the average is exclusive. For example, if we designed a door based on the average height of a person, then 50% of people won't be able to fit through it without ducking down; everyone above the average height would be taller than the door.
If you design a door based on the average height of a person, then ~50% of people won't be able to fit through.
3. Edge cases can create scalable solutions
Let's imagine we're designing an email inbox app and our research has shown us that users are likely to use up to 10 folders for storing and categorising their email; a product designer could design something beautiful and usable for that scenario.
Now let's consider that there could be an edge case where 1% of users use over 100 folders to categorise and sub-categorise their email. All of a sudden a different approach could be necessary in order for this feature to remain usable. A more scalable approach would be needed and, when considering this new approach, it would also give consideration to all of the users who use between 10 and 100 folders, as well as becoming robust enough to deal with altering user behaviour over time.

About the Santenay Winegrowing Region
Santenay is a small village at the southernmost edge of Côte de Beaune, the lower half of the "golden slopes" of the Côte d'Or. The Côte d'Or is the home of the world's most prominent Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards and villages; and while the Côte de Beaune is primarily known for its Chardonnay, there are several villages that specialize in Pinot Noir production, including Santenay.
At the northeastern edge of Santenay lies the Premier Cru Les Gravieres. Les Gravieres is a 29 hectare (app. 70 acre) vineyard known for its sandy soils and gravelly composition. The name is derived from the Latin word for gravel and refers to its favorable terroir for grapegrowing. Small parcels of this vineyard were originally listed by Dr. Jules Lavall in his 1855 classification of Burgundy as expressing wines of the highest quality; however, in the 1861 official classification, Santenay only achieved Premier Crus statuses and no Grand Crus. (For a refresher on Burgundy classifications, check out the amazing graphic from WineFolly below.)

Fresh strawberries, red cherries, and crushed rock pours out of the glass eagerly upon open. The texture of the wine has a noticeable energy with freshness on the tongue and length in the finish.

Andrew Carpenter Accepts International Award
Andrew Carpenter, a student at Transitions of the Fulton County-based The Arc, Lexington, NY, today accepted a "Yes I Can" award from the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC).
Andrew was one of only 12 students who received the prestigious international award. The presentation took place this morning at CEC's annual Special Education Convention & Expo in Tampa.
Andrew, who is affected by Autism, attends Lexington's renowned Transitions program and is studying communications at Fulton-Montgomery Community College. He enrolled in Transitions after graduating from Gloversville High School in 2015. Andrew says Transitions is helping him learn a variety of skills to prepare for independent living, including organizational skills, managing money, cooking and social skills.
His success in the program earned him the "Yes I Can" award.
"So many things are different now. I have more friends than I ever had in high school," Andrew said. "I have improved my social life and can talk to people with confidence, use the bus, and go to professors for help if I need it. Autism doesn't define who I am or who I will be. I have so much more to look forward to in my life and I am only 20. I can't wait to see what is next for me."
CEC is a professional association of educators dedicated to advancing the educational success of children and youth with exceptionalities. The "Yes I Can" program recognizes the accomplishments of students with exceptionalities in six categories: academics, arts, school and community activities, self-advocacy, technology, and transition. Andrew's award is in the transition category.
Andrew has had an enriching experience since arriving at Transitions in 2015. In July of 2016, he joined Lexington's immensely popular band Flame as a vocalist after he was overheard singing in the hallway at Transitions. The group is made up of people with disabilities and has played on world stages, last traveling to Carpi, Italy, in May 2017 to perform at the 19th International Festival of Different Abilities.
"We are so proud of him, as we are with all of our students. Everything changed when Andrew enrolled in Transitions," said Lexington Executive Director Shaloni Winston. "After just a few weeks in this post-secondary program for young adults with learning differences, Andrew embraced the curriculum and gained a wealth of new skills. Through self-advocacy and leadership classes, he learned how to speak up for himself, advocate for his needs, set long-term goals and identify the steps he needs to take to accomplish those goals. He is a true success story. We can't wait to welcome him home."
Northville Library Art Show to Feature Lexington and Transitions Artists
Artists from Lexington's Creative Expressions program and the Transitions program will be featured in a Sacandaga Valley Arts Network (SVAN) art show at the Northville Library Gallery, located at 341 S. Third Street, Northville. The show will run from October 31 to December 28, 2017. The public is welcome to attend a Meet the Artists reception on Tuesday, November 14, from 6-8 p.m.
The show features collaborative splatter paintings based on the work of Jackson Pollock, a 20th century American painter who helped pioneer the abstract expressionism movement of spontaneous, emotional, abstracted art. The Transitions students were inspired to research and study the movement and Pollock's technique after a docent-led tour of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, where they saw original pieces by Pollock and many of his peers.
The artists who collaborated on the Creative Expressions piece include Bobby Carr, Richard Freeman, Dennis Hoyer, Caroline Pendlebury, Adrienne Phillips, Thelma Senecal, Taylor Skinner, Debbie Woodruff and Mikyle Woodward. The artists who collaborated on the Transitions piece include Zen Anderson, Lacy Brower, Maria Bucholtz, Greg Clicquennoi, Josh Corbett, Olivia Esposito, Joe Magliocca, Eric Noonan, Noah Pappas, Maggie Roarke, Marybeth Sefcovic, Bethany Sweet and Kristen Troy.
The Northville Library Gallery is open to the public Monday, Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. to noon; Tuesday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Wednesday and Thursday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The gallery is free of admission. Visitwww.svanarts.org or call the gallery at (518) 863-6922 for more information about this show.
Lexington's Creative Expressions program is committed to creating inspired living through the arts.

Transitions and Fulton - Montgomery Community College introduce Certificate of Completion in Career and Life Studies
Transitions and the State University of New York at Fulton-Montgomery Community College (FMCC) are excited to announce a partnership to offer a Certificate of Completion in Career and Life Studies. The new certificate program combines credit-bearing courses at FMCC with a non-credit curriculum at Transitions to help students develop executive functioning skills, learn how to be successful at work and in life, build independent living skills and strengthen self-management, advocacy and leadership skills.
"We are grateful to the partnership and support that the State University of New York at Fulton-Montgomery Community College has provided in developing and offering this new Certificate in Career and Life Studies," said Jennifer Feagles, LMSW, Director of Transitions. "This will provide a certificate to the young adults who are ready to pursue their independence and career goals after high school."
The Certificate of Completion in Career and Life Studies will assist students such as Marybeth, an active, social and career-minded 22-year-old who was very different before she joined the program. Back then, she was quiet, cripplingly shy and lacking direction or job prospects.
"I didn't have many friends," Marybeth said. "I was shy. My mom would have to find ways to get me out of the house."
When she joined Transitions, Marybeth gained access to internship opportunities in a variety of businesses as well as classes that helped her improve her social, organizational, time management, executive functioning and independent living skills. With the help of those classes, career success courses at FMCC and her current internship at Harvey's Home, Garden and Pet Center, Marybeth is well on her way to achieving her goal of obtaining a job in her dream field of working with animals.
Transitions, a post-secondary program that helps young adults with autism and other learning differences achieve success after high school, helped Marybeth overcome all her personal obstacles and more. And now, through this partnership with FMCC, Transitions can do even more to prepare her for success in life beyond the program.
"This partnership with FMCC will provide life-changing opportunities for our students," said Shaloni Winston, founder of Transitions and Executive Director of Lexington - Fulton County Chapter, NYSARC, Inc. "Pursuing a Certificate of Completion in Career and Life Studies will give them not only a quality education that truly prepares them to live and work independently, but also the invaluable experience of being part of college campus life with peers in a similar stage in life, with all the same goals and challenges. Everyone deserves a career they love and a life they control themselves. This certificate program will help realize that dream for many young adults."
To obtain the Certificate of Completion in Career and Life Studies, students will take credit-bearing classes in career exploration and preparation, resume and cover letter preparation, job interviewing and professional self-presentation at FMCC, and non-credit bearing classes in time management, organization, social success, wellness, self-advocacy and independent living skills at Transitions.
A minimum of 250 hours of on-the-job internship experience at community businesses with graduated levels of responsibility will be required for each student. Transitions staff will provide job coaching, liaise with employers and encourage communication skills that will lead to success in future employment. They will also liaise with the college staff to assist the student in receiving academic support and learning skills needed to complete schoolwork and interact success fully with peers and professors. All students will have full access to the college's library, gym, clubs and other resources.
"FMCC is proud to partner with Transitions to provide this certificate program for their students," said Dustin Swanger, Ed.D., president of FMCC. "We believe that education enhances everyone's life, and receiving a validation of that education in the form of an official certificate not only provides a conclusion to any given program, it becomes a symbol of pride for the learner for years to come."
This program is suited but not limited to students with learning differences, such as autism spectrum disorder, learning differences and ADHD. Students may attain their certificate on a full-time or part-time basis. Student apartment living with a focus on learning independent living skills is also available for full-time students.
In the two years since its creation, Transitions has already made a significant difference in the lives of dozens of young people who have enrolled in camps, events and full-year programs at its Mayfield campus. This certificate program is an opportunity to marry the immersive lessons of Transitions to FMCC's fully integrated college environment, giving students a life-altering experience that will set them on the path to success throughout the rest of their lives.

Lexington Center Adaptive Sports Programming By Chris Shook
Transitions alumnus Chris Shook, an aspiring journalist, interned in the Lexington Communications Department during his time at the program. One of his assignments at the internship was to write an article about a Lexington topic, and he chose the adaptive sports program. Read on to hear his take on how Lexington gives the people it supports new and exciting athletic experiences in the outdoors!
Lexington Center Adaptive Sports Programming
By Chris Shook
Having a physical or developmental difference shouldn't prevent anyone from having fun or participating in sports. Lexington believes this wholeheartedly, and for that reason they provide two related athletic programs to the people they support: adaptive sports and the Special Olympics.
The adaptive sports are regular sports modified to fit individuals who are differently abled. The adaptations cater to individuals who are blind or have problems with mobility – namely, those who are in a wheelchair. The program at Lexington takes its participants sailing in the summertime and skiing in the winter.
The Special Olympics are typically for people with intellectual differences. Today Special Olympics programs provide year-round training and competition to people in 170 countries around the world, but the organization started out much smaller. In 1962, Eunice Kennedy Shriver noticed that people with intellectual differences had few opportunities and felt they were being treated unfairly. She began it that summer as a day camp in her back yard. Similar camps started growing across the country and by 1968, the program had spread to Canada as well. The first international games were held that year in Chicago. Now, more than 4 million athletes compete in Special Olympics games internationally each year, with events held every day at every level on every continent.
Lexington incorporates their adaptive sports program into their Special Olympics games. In addition to sailing and skiing, Lexington Special Olympic athletes compete in softball, basketball, volleyball, hula-hooping, 125-meter dashes, bobsled, Frisbee, and track and field. There are some adaptations in the other sports as well; for example, the baskets are lower than typical in basketball and softball uses larger bases. The games take place at Lexington's location at the former Bishop Burke High School. Eighty-five percent of the athletes who participate earn a medal.
In past years, there have been about 30 athletes in the sailing program and about 15 in skiing. The skiing began 10 to 12 years ago, while sailing was added to the program 8 years ago. Skiing is available from January until April at Windham Mountain Ski Resort in the Catskill Mountains and sailing takes place from June to September at Lake George.
"The athletes receive help from people who are trained by people who specialize in helping people with disabilities," said Bonnie Reuss, the administrator of the adaptive sports program at Lexington. She added that she is "proud of the accomplishments of the athletes."
According to Reuss, sailing is a bit easier for the athletes than skiing. Staff use Hoyer Lifts to get the athletes onto the boats, which have to be very stable, and they go sailing in the afternoon.
The skiers, who are a bit more adventurous, navigate the slopes in the mornings on bi-skis. These special pieces of equipment, which look like chairs with skis on the bottom, are specifically designed for individuals with mobility challenges. Other individuals can ski behind the bi-skiers and help guide them down the slopes.
Athletes who participate in adaptive sports must practice frequently and exercise patience. They do compete with each other, but it's really more about fun. Lexington's adaptive sports have all been successful – in more than ten years, there have been no injuries and everyone has been well prepared. Lexington is looking to add more sports to the program so athletes can have even more opportunities to experience the gratification and exhilaration of sports.
The athletes seem to enjoy participating in the adaptive sports program, too. Crystal White has done adaptive sailing as well as the Special Olympics, and she loved her experiences. White competed in beanbag throwing and finished second in the wheelchair races last spring's games. She said the Special Olympics coaches and volunteers are absolutely essential to the success of the competition.
"The way they help us compete is by setting up practice rounds," she said, "and they require us to do 12 practices to see what level we're on."
One of those coaches is Lynette May. She was a volunteer for 15 years until 2011, when she decided to become an official coach. May coaches the Frisbee activities and the 125-meter dashes. Teams are separated not by gender, but by level of skill and capability. May said the age group of athletes ranges from 20 to 80 and older – whoever wants to participate is welcome.
Lexington has many adaptive sports athletes, all of whom had to overcome their challenges to play sports. Lexington has had a lot of success getting these unique individuals who wanted to participate in sports the chance to shine, an opportunity they don't often get.
The benefit of this program isn't just in fitness goals achieved or medals won. More than that, it's the sense of pride and confidence the experience gives the athletes. If they see that they can participate in these sports despite their differences, it proves to them they can do anything they want.

About Transitions
Transitions is a supportive apprenticeship for young men and women with autism spectrum disorders including Asperger's syndrome, ADHD, dyslexia, nonverbal learning disabilities, visual or hearing impairments, medical conditions and other learning differences who want to attend college and/or prepare for a career, but may require academic, social, medical and/or emotional support. The Transitions program's curriculum focuses on building academic, employment, life and general independence skills. Both full-year College and Career Apprenticeship programs are offered, as well as a three-week Summer Immersion Experience. Visit www.transitionsusa.org for more information.
Lexington Announces Transitions Apprenticeship Program
Lexington, Chapter of NYSARC, Inc. and The Arc, has announced "Transitions," a supportive Apprenticeship program for high school graduates and young adults with learning differences including Asperger's syndrome, ADHD, dyslexia, nonverbal learning disabilities, visual or hearing impairments and other medical conditions who want to attend college and/or prepare for a career but may require academic, social, medical and/or emotional support. The Transitions program's curriculum focuses on building academic, employment, life and general independence skills.
"Young adults with learning differences and disabilities often require extra preparation and dedicated supports to live independently and achieve college and career success," stated Shaloni Winston, Lexington's executive director. "Transitions offers Apprentices this opportunity by providing valuable skills, tools and support needed for each and every one of them to learn, thrive and live a life of independence that they and their parents hoped for but never thought was possible."
Through evidence-based approaches and services and a careful partnership with Lexington, a provider with over 60 years of award-winning disability services, Transitions students will have access to state-of-the-art facilities, an experienced staff including mentors and coaches, and a uniquely designed curriculum that will provide individualized attention and training in skills students will use for the rest of their lives. They will be trained in executive functioning, self-advocacy, safety, healthy living and wellness, as well as learn social skills and set goals, putting them on the path toward college and career success, and ultimately independence.
Transitions will be located in Gloversville, NY, in the foothills of the beautiful Adirondack Mountains, and will share space with The Lexington Foundation's Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts, a year-round arts center that will provide a rich assortment of art and hobby-related classes for artists of all ages and interests. These new programs will be hosted in state-of-the-art buildings, which were recently purchased and are currently undergoing renovations to accommodate the particular needs of both Transitions and the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts.
Transitions has collaborated with several elite institutions including the Savannah College of Art and Design, University of Washington's DO-IT program for students with disabilities, Mayo Clinic, Virginia Commonwealth University's Autism Center for Excellence and the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts to provide an exclusive experience for students who are interested in successful career and life outcomes. Transitions also offers many socially rich recreation opportunities, such as memorable Adirondack experiences, trips and entertainment.
"As the mother of a child with Turner syndrome and nonverbal learning disabilities, I know how overwhelming it feels when faced with decisions that affect your son or daughter for life, and the choices that face them after high school regarding college, a career or living independently, and whether or not resources and supports are available to make that happen," added Winston. "At Transitions, your child will be safe, well cared for and will come out of the program prepared for opportunities that life offers beyond high school, including college and a career. We can help them transition from a life of constant support to a life they control themselves. This was what inspired me to create the Transitions program, and is what sets Transitions apart from other programs."
Both full-year College Apprenticeship programs and Career Apprenticeship programs are offered by Transitions. Applications are now being accepted for these full-year sessions, which start in August 2015. Additionally, Transitions is offering a three-week Summer Immersion Experience that will introduce attendees to the Transitions curriculum and college or life experience. Summer sessions are available from June 14–July 3, July 5–July 24 and July 26–August 14, 2015, with applications currently being accepted. For more information, call (518) 775-5374 or visit Transitions online at www.TransitionsUSA.org.
Announcing the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts
The Lexington Foundation is pleased to announce the development of two very unique and innovative programs: The Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts and Transitions, an apprenticeship program designed to foster college and career success for students with learning differences.
The Lexington Foundation has signed a contract and intends to purchase the former Tetra Tech property and facilities located on 66 picturesque acres at the intersection of Route 30 and Route 30A in Mayfield. "Our new programs will be hosted in the property's existing buildings which will be updated and renovated in order to accommodate the particular needs of the Paul Nigra Center and the Transitions program," said Shaloni Winston, Executive Director of Lexington – Fulton County Chapter, NYSARC, Inc. "The Paul Nigra Center's location is both beautiful and inviting and offers the best of what our region has to offer. We really wanted a Center that would not only attract those from outside our region, but would make our community proud."
The Lexington Foundation has partnered with the Savannah College of Art and Design's (SCAD) Collaborative Learning Center (CLC). Under the guidance of professors, twelve graduate students from SCAD's interior design, graphic and media design, and arts administration programs have worked together to study the unique needs of The Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts and the Transitions program, and then presented ideas about how to best design and adapt the existing space to suit those needs. The professors leading the project, Chance Farago, Professor of Arts Administration, and Meghan Woodcock, EDAC, Faculty, Interior Design, flew in from Savannah, Georgia to visit Lexington and learn about the services and support Lexington provides, meet staff and the individuals supported by Lexington, and visit the proposed property.
"At SCAD, collaborative learning is a core element of the university's mission to help prepare students for professional creative careers," said Josh Lind, director of the CLC. "The opportunity to work with an organization like the Lexington Foundation on a real world, deadline-driven project provides invaluable experience to our students. In just the first few weeks of the quarter, the students have demonstrated significant enthusiasm for this project – especially given how meaningful the result will be for the individuals supported by Lexington." SCAD's Collaborative Learning Center's current and past partners include companies like Adobe, Coca-Cola, Chick-fil-A, General Electric and Microsoft. Lexington is proud to collaborate with SCAD and join this esteemed list.
The Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts was named for Lexington's former Executive Director of 42 years, Paul Nigra. It will be a beautiful, year-round arts center which will provide a rich assortment of art and hobby-related classes for emerging artists of all ages and interests including, but not limited to, culinary arts, performing arts, visual arts, quilting, woodcarving and yoga. It will also house premium art venues, host fun family events and provide educational opportunities for the entire community (both the general public and individuals supported by Lexington). The very best of Fulton County's local talent will teach classes and give presentations at the Paul Nigra Center and noted artists from beyond the county's borders will visit and share their expertise and talent. The Paul Nigra Center will also proudly offer employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
"Paul Nigra worked tirelessly to support people with disabilities and believed that every person could achieve success and fulfillment. We believe that both the Center for Creative Arts and Transitions program will allow Lexington to celebrate this vision and continue providing exceptional services and programs to the community and individuals with special needs," added Winston. Nigra founded Lexington's world-famous rock band, Flame, a group of musicians who refuse to let their disabilities be a barrier to success. The Paul Nigra Center will be a "home base" for Flame, continuing Nigra's legacy of cultivating and celebrating the artistic endeavors of people of all ages and abilities.
The Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts will be wholly owned and operated by The Lexington Foundation and will be funded by contributions, grants and fees for services. Lexington ARC funds will not be available for this project as they are dedicated to the care and support of the people Lexington supports. As The Lexington Foundation embarks on a capital campaign in order to pay for the purchase and renovations of the property, we have sought out community leaders and partners to serve on The Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts Advisory Board, which will be chaired by local businessman and Johnstown resident Brian Hanaburgh. Design and renovations are expected to be completed for the opening scheduled for June 2015. For more details about the project, please contact Wally Hart, Executive Director of the Lexington Foundation, at (518) 736-3917 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

High resolution LBC scintillators
LBC (Lanthanum BromoChloride) LaBr2.85Cl0.15:Ce scintillators have similar properties to the well-known LaBr3:Ce crystals. Energy resolutions around 3 % FWHM (662 keV) are standard and the material is mechanically a little stronger than LaBr3. In contrast to background free CeBr3, LBC crystals suffer from the same La-138 background as LaBr3

A MANHUNT involving armed officers and police tracker dogs was launched on the outskirts of Leeds for a prisoner who absconded four years ago.
Police backed up by the West Yorkshire force helicopter sealed off an area close to Pool-in-Wharfedale yesterday evening in their search for 40-year-old Philip Luty, imprisoned after making a home-made sub-machine gun.
Today he was still at large after a search failed to find him.
The operation was mounted after Luty, jailed for four years for firearms offences, was apparently spotted by North Yorkshire officers in a car near Harrogate. Police pursued the car, but it was abandoned near the Dyneley Arms, at the top of Pool Bank.
Police searched the area, including several addresses, but Luty was not found.
Luty, from Tinshill, Leeds, was jailed when he appeared at Leeds Crown Court in April, 1998 and admitted manufacturing a prohibited weapon and possessing ammunition without a certificate.
Luty lost two bids to appeal against his sentence and went missing in 2000 after being given weekend leave from Everthorpe prison in Humberside. Luty was only weeks away from his first possible prison release date when he absconded.
Around 25 officers were involved in last night's search in the Pool-in-Wharfedale area.
Kate Jacobs, 34, from Pool In Wharfedale said: "We hardly ever see police in Pool. To suddenly see all these officers with guns and dogs is quite a shock. We knew something was happening when we heard the helicopter circling the area for ages."
Luty was described by a psychiatrist as a loner with a lot of anger, but there was no evidence he was dangerous.
A member of his family said at the time: "He just wanted to make a political point because he believes it is wrong to have a society where the only people with guns are the criminals. He could not harm a fly."

I had planned to visit VegoForum in Stockholm today. VegoForum is an annual event with businesses and organizations related to veganism organized by.
But I slept a few hours instead after working the whole night with updating the opening post for the Minecraft survival world b³O on the Minecraft forums.
In the afternoon I walked through a very nice park. It has all types of species of trees growing in Sweden. Some of them are really large and majestic.
I took photographs to make a reference library I can use to learn the name of the various species in English and Swedish and how to draw them in artworks and build them in Minecraft. Here are all the beautiful trunks. What variety!
I found a PDF from the municipality with the same info as on the sign posts next to the trees. Written in both Swedish in English, it is useful document. I will probably come back to it to find out which trees I've missed.
It is both beautiful and sad to visit the park.
The beautiful part is of course to see and connect with all the various tree.
The sad part is to know that these trees are very very small compared to how large trees used to be before us humans cut most of them down. And to know how little diversity most forests nowadays have. It is even hard to call them forests, they are more like forestry farms.
But nothing is permanent. Humanity can turn around the ways of treating the planet these coming decades. People are waking up and embracing change, even if there is still much, much confusion, delusion and old habits which have to go.
A friend asked me later when I came home about how I can be so productive. She is reading a book on productivity.
My best advice is: Stop reading books on how to do things and start doing things! So if you have something you need to do, stop reading this blog and go do it. In fact, everything and everyone telling anyone how to do something is completely useless compared to actually just doing it.
Ok, you are still here, so some more advice:
Set your mind to be really, really determined to do what it is you want, with no excuses. And when you don't know exactly how, what worked best for me is actually to absolutely nothing. Refuse to do anything at all that doesn't go towards the thing you want to achieve. Be as present in the now as possible, for as long as possible, aware of every single perception; thoughts, sights, sounds, body sensation.
A practical thing exercise which works for me get out of negative patterns and love myself and others and what I do is to breathe into my heart and also to just make sounds when breathing out. It doesn't matter which ones, just hums or singing, however I feel like, without judgement. It can be done anywhere, at home and outdoors, sitting, standing, laying down or walking. Don't care about what other people think, but also don't project anything, just observe the moment with sounds happening.
Negative emotions like loneliness which my friend felt are definitely distractions if you want to be productive. Instead of thinking about who you are missing, think 'I will do what I want to do no matter with who or what, or how it will happen'.
It is good to accept that we are always where we are. And its the actually the same for everyone, since every moment is fleeting, no-one gets to keep anything permanently. We just make up stories that we are more lonely than others and having a harder time than others. Those very stories are the ones shutting us out! So just embrace the awkward feeling of opening up to anyone you meet. And please stop thinking about their gender, age, looks, along with those attributes of yourself. Let go of prejudice, it is a filter that prevents you to connect.
How to achieve anything. Realize that no-one, absolutely no-one has any clue whatsoever about what can actually and will actually happen in the future. Think about this until you can see that it is true for certain. Narrow down your perception of time as well to see that the future is never here, except as a concept, thus even the next few seconds are uncertain. Now you can see that nothing can say that what you want to happen will not happen. You might have a thousand thoughts protesting in your head, but they are from the past and know nothing about the future.
How to deal with the sensation of lack of capabilities, resources and so on.
Contemplate how everything in existence just is where it is, and actually has no inherent ownership or fixed relation to anything else. Those are just thoughts and temporary. Now you can see that all those are arbitrary and there is no reason why the relationships between you and the things you want to have would not be able to occur. All possibilities are on equal grounds! Be relentless about this. Even better is to align this with something beneficial and true. See how you becoming and getting what you want fits in with everyone and everything else benefiting from it.
To be free. What is it to be free? It is actually an illusion! You are always just where you are. And just because you for example are free from suffering, doesn't mean that everyone else is. So before everything else you know is free, how can you be? If you feel free while knowing most of the world is not, Is that really freedom? What if there is a way where you can be part of everyone achieving a truer freedom instead?
About money. Money is not as important as feeling what you do is good for yourself and others. Keeping money for its own sake is pointless in my opinion. Now is always now. Money just means a potential of doing something, but only the realized action counts and makes a change. And so many things can be done at any time regardless of where money is or isn't. Money is not anything special either, it is just a perception or layer on top of reality like anything else conceived by the mind. And no concept is what is actually real.

Corporate Construction & Design Inc. (CCD) is a Florida state certified CCC Roofing Contractor and CGC General Contractor. CCD is BBB A+ Accredited and specializes in complete storm restoration and roof replacements. CCD works with homeowners and also with their insurance companies to completely restore damaged property. With over 22 years of experience, Chad Hitchcock built the company from word of mouth and directly manages CCD and its tremendous network of residential and commercial materials suppliers and vendors to install completely new and MATCHING roofing systems (no mix and matching of materials that VOID warranties) that maximize labor and materials warranties for the homeowners and exceed building code and nailing requirements.
Florida is a state where construction and insurance are almost a science that requires experience to properly estimate the true replacement cost of damaged property. So upon arrival to inspect a roof, or to discuss an estimate with a homeowner, it is a pleasure seeing our customers receive a thorough explanation of the process and our services in the coming project.
Corporate Construction & Design Inc. started as a word of mouth business, and as a tradesmen for over 22 years, Chad Hitchcock founded the company as he learned the business over the years as an apprentice to his then mentor and instructor. Some things have changed over the decades but one thing remains the same and that is quality of workmanship and the ever important labor and materials warranties that come with a job well done.
Whether you select us or someone else to do the job, here is what you need to know: your contractor must be licensed and the highest license is the certified CCC license for roof replacements. Next, Florida only requires $300,000 in liability insurance, and we feel it should never be less than $1,000,000 of which we carry an aggregate of $2,000,000. Florida Building Code requires 5 nails per shingle, and CCD installs using Enhanced Nailing Pattern which uses 6 nails per shingle to exceed the code and strengthen wind resistance given the geographical location of our beautiful State of Florida. Most insurance companies pay for and provide extra shingles called "waste" which some contractors use in place of Starter strip. We refuse to do that since one, it voids the materials warranty and two, under Florida Law insurance is supposed to pay for it. Any contractor using the waste doesn't have to buy it so they use that and other means to reduce their "price" at the expense of owners. In addition, because CCD installs only MATCHING roofing systems from premium shingles manufacturers, CCD as part of its workflow process, will help our homeowner by registering their materials warranty. Not many contractors will go through the trouble, and those that use the waste instead of starter strips definitely can't as they know the warranty would be useless. Finally, when a roof meets and exceeds the building code and has an iron clad warranty, we see a lot of our customers reaching back at their insurance companies to get the illusive $500 Hurricane Deductible. We can't stress enough the importance of knowing all this information, and only hope that the roofing contractor you endorse meets or exceeds these salient points if they were selected as your preferred contractor.
