Quality vehicles!
" My car buying experience was seamless at Eurobahn. Winston Craig was very patient and knowledgeable about my car of choice. Also, the general manager got me the best rate for financing the vehicle. There was no pressure from the sales team but no pressure needed. They sold me a quality vehicle with quality customer service. I would purchase from them again. "
Highly Recommended
" I recently purchased a vehicle from Eurobahn, I can say the process was very quick, Winston and William were great to work with. Although my new car had a mechanical issue, they took it to the shop and gave me a loaner to drive. It all worked out in the end and I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. "
A++ service!!
" Ray and his team are excellent! I was involved in a wreck that damaged my entire driver's side. This being my first accident, Ray helped guide me through the insurance process. He's a great resource and really knows his stuff. They fixed my ride up nicely; like the accident never occurred. Needless to say, I'll be back for your A++ service!! Thank you so much. "
5 Stars!
" Winston Craig is the man. We drove 6 hours to purchase our Jeep. He and his staff we're very accommodating, working with us through the whole process. 5 stars for Eurobahn! "
Excellent and quick service!
" Excellent and quick service! Jeff was awesome and Roger was able to shuttle me home due to having to leave my BMW for the needed service. This was my first time using Eurobahn and I will be going back! "
Great Experience!
" I've been taking my Mercedes e350 and my BMW 535ix there for service for three years and have had a great experience each time. I was in the Car Business for nearly 40 years and I would recommend them. "
Great Service!
" These guys are good. I do a lot of business with them and when my car broke down yesterday they drove a loaner to me. It was a nice gesture in a bad situation. "
Great Experience!
" Great experience, they helped me understand what was actually happening with my car rather than just fixing the issue and giving my car back. I would have liked to have a more detailed invoice or just something to give me something to look back on and know EXACTLY what was done to my car and why. But overall a great experience with these guys. I'd definitely go back, I've already trusted them with 2 repairs I couldn't seem to get done myself. A bit expensive but worth it to know that they took great care of my BMW. "
Thank you guys much appreciated!
" Had to go here to get my truck taken care of. Not the local mechanic with thirty years experience and not the Nissan dealership itself but here! So glad I was referred! My truck is finally fixed! Thank you guys much appreciated! "
Top Notch Dealership!
" Felix and Dustin took great care of me. They had the parts ready when I arrived and had a loaner car reserved as requested. The job was done quicker than expected and the work was top notch. The car feels and runs great. They answered all of my questions and demonstrated much professionalism. Even though it's a bit farther for me to drive vs the dealership, I saved over 25% vs the dealership. "
I felt very welcomed and trusted with their Mercedes-Benz service team
" From day one of owning my first Mercedes, I've dealt with ONLY Eurobahn BMW MINI Mercedes-Benz Audi of Greensboro.

I am very please with Eurobahn BMW MINI Mercedes-Benz Audi of Greensboro
I am very pleased with Eurobahn BMW MINI Mercedes-Benz Audi of Greensboro They have done quite a bit of work on my Mercedes (CLK 320- 2002 Conv.) I felt very comfortable and confident in them working on my car. When I speak with Dustin or Ray, they take time out to go over what's wrong with my car and what I need for my car, explaining it very well. I've heard so many horrible stories regarding mechanic shops trying to get over on women. I didn't feel this at all with Dustin or Ray. I am very comfortable in trusting their judgment regarding my vehicle; their prices are also reasonable as well. Its good to have a mechanic shop you can trust and with Dustin and Ray customer satisfactory is definitely their NO#1 priority. Also, I'm not sure of the mechanic names who work on my vehicle but what I can say is, all the work that was done on my vehicle its been done right. I haven't had any problems with the work they have done on my car great team!! Thank You. Evelyn Miller"

I created this character for the Comic-con Challenge 2014 on gameartisans.org. I was going to create a variation of the DC villain Victor Zsasz (using Rutger Hauer as a model, based on his performances in The Hitcher and Blade Runner).
After some sketching, I found I wasn't happy with the original direction I was taking and so after mulling it over, I decided to do a Deathstroke variation instead.
The tools for creating character art have evolved significantly over the past few years, with more and more programs available that help speed up or automate the character production process.
This workflow overview should be helpful for anybody who wants to explore the world of creating game-ready character art, in fact this training would be useful for any type of 3D game art, as parts of this workflow are applicable to environment artists, weapon artists and so on as I cover the core steps that I take to achieve the final result.
- Click here to download free game character productions files
01. Pre-production
This step is a mix of sketches and quick sculpts – but it gives me a solid idea of the silhouette, proportions and functionality of the final model.
02. Production
ZBrush and 3ds Max were used for the high-poly assets. Max to build the mesh and Photoshop for textures. I used Crazybump and XNormal for the additional maps.
03. Post-prod
Creating a quick bone system in 3ds Max helped me pose the character. He was then rendered in Marmoset Toolbag (an excellent program for game artists).
04. Additional maps
As it's very easy for a Photoshop file to become bloated, it's useful to organise everything into groups. Each texture map is created using a separate Photoshop file and contains four groups: one for base colours, one for texture, one for additional maps like wireframe/masks, and one for ambient occlusion maps.
05. Sculpting in details
Features within ZBrush such as DynaMesh and Decimation Master were used to help create the smaller details (such as rivets and screws) while allowing ZBrush to run at a stable framerate. ZBrush can become laggy depending on your computer specifications and the number subtools/subdivisions used.
06. Using Marmoset
Marmoset Toolbag is a simple and versatile tool that allows you to create fantastic game quality renders with little effort. To get the ideal scene setup, I created a ground plane in a similar fashion to the character, and used Marmoset's lighting system to achieve a good contrast on the final image.

A friend asked for the recipe, as she had lost her copy and couldn't find it here. That needs to be fixed…
This is a cake I do on special occasions, both because it can be a bit pricy to do and because too much of it can be deadly. Enjoy.
Recipe by C. Blake Powers based on version from the Death By Chocolate TV show
Items Needed:
cake pans
wire racks
double boiler or boiler and stainless steel bowls
Cake Ingredients:
4T + 1t unsalted butter
1/4 cup + 1t all purpose flour
3 whole eggs
3 oz. unsweet. choc. in pieces
2T unsweet. cocoa
1 C gran. sugar
2 oz. semisweet choc. in pieces
1t baking powder
1t vanilla
1/2t salt
1/4 cup sour cream
Optional ingredients:
Chocolate Chips
Cake Directions:
Preheat oven to 325o. Coat a 9-inch cake pan (round) with unsalted butter. Measure dry ingredients (2nd column, above) together then
sift to ensure complete mixing and uniformity.
In a double boiler, melt butter over medium to medium-low heat. Add chocolate and allow to melt. If you are in a rush, dump it all in at once and let it melt. I've noticed no difference in texture, etc. for doing it this way. This is called a chocolate liqueur.
As the chocolate is melting, break the 3 eggs into a medium to large mixing bowl and whisk until blended. Then add 1 cup of
granulated sugar. Whisk until well blended. Then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and whisk again. If you eyeball the vanilla and use more, it does not matter.
Mix melted butter and chocolate together, remove top part of double boiler being sure to wipe the bottom of the pot to prevent any
condensation/water from getting into the chocolate or the mix. Pour chocolate liqueur into egg mixture and whisk to blend. When well mixed, add dry ingredients – whisk slowly at first to keep from spreading dry ingredients all over kitchen. When this is mixed, add in sour cream and repeat whisking. Once all ingredients of basic recipe are blended, then add optional to your taste. I find 1/3 bag of semi-sweet chips is a very good add to the mix.
Pour final mix into greased pan. Place in oven and bake for app. 40 minutes. If additional ingredients are used, you may need to increase baking time by 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack and cut in half.
1 cup of toasted, crushed (food processor) hazelnuts. These are best if toasted and peeled a day or two ahead of time and soaked in some brandy or Frangelica hazelnut liqueur. Use at least 2T.
Icing (Chocolate Ganache):
Icing Ingredients:
1.5 cups heavy cream
3T unsalted butter
3T granulated sugar
12 oz. semisweet chocolate in .5 oz. pieces—I find 14 is better and will make icing darker. Up to 18 ounces can be used if desired. I also recommend doubling the recipe to ensure enough for decorating and proper glazing of cake.
Icing Directions:
Place chocolate in a large mixing bowl. Bring cream, sugar, and butter to a boil in a saucepan. Keep a ladle in the pan to prevent boiling over and the creation of messes. Pour boiling cream mix over chocolate pieces. Whisk together until chocolate is melted and ensemble is completely mixed.
Reserve 1 cup of mix for decorating. I strongly suggest refrigerating it for at least 1 hour. Mix 1/2 to 1 cup of mixture with hazelnuts. Again, I strongly suggest refrigerating it for at least 1 hour until almost firm. Reserve remainder for icing finished cake. This can be placed on top of sauce pan containing water. Said pan can be placed on low to keep icing fluid while other parts are chilling/firming.
Place bottom layer of cake on wire rack located over catch-pan. Spread chocolate-hazelnut mixture on bottom layer of cake. Then place top
layer over hazelnut layer. Pour liquid ganache over the cake using ladle to direct and ensure that top and sides are completely covered. Refrigerate until ganache has set. Icing in pan can be added to that reserved for decoration. FYI, cake does not have to be decorated as glaze is what is presented in fine restaurants. If you want to decorate it, do what makes you happy.
My favorite is to bake two cakes and make the final cake either two- or four-layer depending on humor of the moment. This will require all
ingredients, especially the ganache, to be doubled.
In place of hazelnuts, use raspberries. Run a bag of frozen raspberries through the food processor. Take 1 cup of the processed raspberries and soak them in 2T to 1/4 cup (or more) of Chambord raspberry liqueur for up to 24 hours. Then mix them with 1 to 1.5 cups of the icing mixture and refrigerate until stiff. Then use in place of hazelnuts. For decorating, rinse and drain 1 pint of fresh raspberries and soak them in Chambord. Place these around the top of the cake. You can also place a few around the bottom for effect. If you want to be really decadent, place a chocolate chip in each of the firm, fresh raspberries.
The ganache can be much improved by adding additional chocolate, of the bittersweet and bitter chocolate varieties.

Cardiac Sonography Training in Connecticut - CT
To begin your cardiac sonographer training in Connecticut, you should start by researching schools in your state that offer an associate's degree in this area. Bachelor's are also offered, but an associate's degree is currently the norm for most.
When looking at schools in Connecticut, go with one accredited by CAAHEP (the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education). This ensures you'll be able to get to join a credentialing organization later, if you desire, and makes sure your school is held to strict educational requirements.
Whatever school in Connecticut you end up at, you'll find your curriculum kicks off with intensive study of the heart, and the vascular system. Cardiac sonographers have to know this part of the body inside and out, as well as how it relates to overall health, so this will be the main focus of your education.
Cardiac sonographers will also get equally comfortable with handling their ultrasound equipment and the various other tools of their trade, as it is the combination of their technical skill and specialized medical knowledge that helps them to be so effective in creating images for diagnosis.
For the last half of the second year in school, cardiac sonography students in Connecticut will begin performing echocardiograms of various types alongside professional sonographers and medical educators. Here, they'll learn all about interacting with patients and medical ethics, all while getting comfortable performing the duties of their job.
Once you've graduated, or are very near graduation, you should consider testing for credentials from one of the major certifying agencies in your profession, like the American Registry for Diagnosis Medical Sonographers. These tests are difficult and comprehensive, take the better part of a day, and require intense preparation. In the ARDMS's case, passing it certifies you as a RDCS, and allows you access to the newest research and development in your field. While credentials aren't necessary to work in Connecticut, many employers require applicants to have credentials, and credentialed cardiac sonographers usually make more money.

On Tuesday night the Republican voters of Indiana delivered the final verdict on the Republican primary race, giving Donald Trump a crushing 15-point victory over Ted Cruz. Two hours after the polls closed, Cruz acknowledged the writing on the wall and dropped out of the race. Trump's path to the nomination is now clear.
This outcome was expected, but it doesn't make it any less shocking. Donald Trump — reality star, real estate developer, and global brand — will likely be the Republican nominee for president of the United States. But six months from now, he will probably lose the general election to Hillary Clinton.
Indeed, the biggest near-term question for Republicans is: How bad will the damage be? How badly will Trump lose? How many seats will the GOP lose in the House and Senate and farther down the ballot in state legislature races?
But the bigger question — and it's one that we may not know the answer to for months or years to come — is how will the Republican Party survive what's happened to it over the past year?
At one point, the Republican Party nominally stood on a platform of economic and social conservatism. At least that was the public face of the party. Today, with Trump at its helm, it's a party of nativism, xenophobia, crudeness, and misogyny. Those elements were of course always present in the party — and are at the root of its modern political success. But they were generally hidden below the surface or utilized with dog whistles. With Trump, there is no mistaking the fact that what drives GOP voters is not conservative dogma, but rather resentment, anxiety, and fear, particularly of minorities, Muslims, and immigrants.
That post-2012 Republican Party autopsy that said the GOP must reach out to Hispanic voters if it wanted to win a national election again is dead and buried. Quite simply, the Republican Party cannot win national elections if it doesn't find a way to broaden the party's appeal. With Trump as the presidential nominee, that effort will be set back, perhaps a generation or more.
Even more searing than the electoral challenges, Trump has delivered a savage blow to the GOP's conception of itself. Armed with a mere handful of endorsements from elected GOP officials, Trump has run a campaign aimed directly against the Republican establishment. And he beat the stuffing out of it. And by taking positions on everything from taxes and trade to transgender Americans and terrorism that run directly against decades of conservative orthodoxy, he's left the Republican establishment with no clear ideological mooring. Is the GOP a party of small government conservatism or a party of nativism and white male resentment? For decades, Republicans tried to be both, and Trump has, with a single presidential campaign, exposed the fallacy that lay at the heart of the party — namely that its voters were only interested in conservative dogma insofar as it was married to those aforementioned feelings of resentment, anxiety, and fear. But when given a choice between dogma and dog whistle, they've chosen this year – overwhelmingly – to go with the latter.
It's far too early to draw any conclusions about where the Republican Party is headed. Will it crack up? Will it stay together and stumble along as a rump party? Will it even find a way to reform and rejuvenate itself? I have no idea. But what I'm sure of is that as of today, the Republican Party, as we've come to know it, has ceased to exist.

I have a standard logo 85px height, and I have a retina logo 170px height. They are in the correct spots, Ive tried multiple sizes as well.
It seems when the screen is shrunk to a smaller media size, the code still shows the original logo and doesnt try to pull in the retina version.
Any ideas?

Hi Andrew
Great to hear from you. Sorry for the hassle. Please, can you head over to Plugins in WP and let me know which version of Polestar Premium you're using. There was a bug with the Retina logo setting, fixed in version
1.0.3.November 29, 2017 at 9:04 am #8350
Version 1.0.1November 29, 2017 at 9:05 am #8351
Thanks. Ideally, you'd need to update Polestar Premium. Start out by checking Dashboard > Updates, is there an update ready there? If not, ensure your license number is inserted and the plugin activated:November 29, 2017 at 9:28 am #8353
I made sure in my Puro Themes Dashboard that I have my sites managed. Also, in my dashboard of my Protrappers site, I can seem to find anywhere to add my key. I see where I can activate/deactivate, but thats pretty much it. So all I dont see any updates for 1.0.3. The instructions you sent were very clear, I just dont see the options I need.
"Go to Plugins > Polestar Premium and insert your license number." In my sites dashboard Ive never had to do this, but I cant find this option anywhere else.November 29, 2017 at 9:41 am #8354

Thanks 🙂November 29, 2017 at 9:43 am #8355
(You can update manually by downloading the latest ZIP from the dashboard here on purothemes.com, deleting the plugin in your install and then uploading the new version from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. However, perhaps I can take a quick look first as "auto" updates would be first prize.)November 29, 2017 at 12:58 pm #8363This reply has been marked as private.November 29, 2017 at 2:18 pm #8365
Thanks 🙂
Phew, this is strange, usually the menu item is under Plugins in the main WP menu.
I've moved over to a manual update but it seems WP is having issues deleting the folder.
Could not fully remove the plugin polestar-premium/polestar-premium.php.
Could you perhaps delete that folder via FTP or send me FTP details so I can?
The folder is at /wp-content/plugins/ and is called polestar-premiumNovember 29, 2017 at 2:18 pm #8366
Sorry, it's deleted now. No need for any action.November 29, 2017 at 2:20 pm #8367
Mmm ok, so I can't install the new version because the folder is still there. Please, could you check my FTP request above. Happy to do it for you, which ever option is easier. Thanks and sorry for this hassle! Should have you fixed up shortly.November 29, 2017 at 2:38 pm #8369
its all good. I can remove folder on the server shortly and reinstall the plugin. Some of my other sites received the update like they should.November 29, 2017 at 2:39 pm #8370
Super, thanks. If possible, please, let me know when it's done. Happy to check on the license validation.November 29, 2017 at 3:05 pm #8371
It's done, v1.0.5 uploaded and the retina logo shows properly.
If you could let me know if the validation is working that would be great.November 29, 2017 at 3:12 pm #8373
Thanks 🙂
For some reason, when Ninja Forms is activated, Polestar Premium is removed from the Plugins menu. I'll need to investigate to find out why. I temporarily deactivated Ninja Forms, added the license number, activated and then re-activated Ninja Forms.
Sorry again for the hassle. Hopefully all ok now.

RealD shares slump as Samsung exits 3D TV deal
RealD Inc's shares fell as much as 14 percent in extended trade after the licensor of 3D technologies said Samsung Electronics pulled out of an agreement to make television panels featuring the company's technology.
Samsung's new management was not pursuing the agreement, announced in May this year, as the global economic climate dragged down consumer demand, RealD said.
The announcement comes after Samsung, Sony Corp, and Panasonic Corp said two months ago that they intended to standardize their 3D TVs around active shutter glasses in conjunction with RealD's privately-owned rival XPAND.
RealD uses a different passive 3D display technology.
While the license agreement with Samsung remains in effect, RealD said it is pursuing other partners for its 3D display technology.
TV manufacturers including industry leader Samsung have been struggling with weak demand and oversupply.
Earlier Wednesday, Sony warned of a fourth straight year of losses, with its television unit set to lose $2.2 billion.
RealD, which also licenses its technology to movie exhibitors, posted a quarterly profit that beat Wall Street expectations on license revenue driven by successful Hollywood 3D movie releases like Transformers, Harry Potter and Lion King 3D.
Second-quarter net income was $18.9 million, or 33 cents a share, compared with a net loss of $5.1 million, or 12 cents a share, a year ago.
Net license revenue, which accounts for 59 percent of total revenue, more than doubled in the second quarter. International markets contributed to 56 percent of license revenue from 52 percent last year on strong growth in China and Russia.
RealD's growth comes after a dismal summer when its shares took a hit on investor fears that 3D versions of such movies as Kung Fu Panda 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides were attracting a smaller share of overall viewers, compared with past blockbusters like Avatar.
The company continues to expect screen installations to rise by 35-40 percent for fiscal 2012. As of September 23, it said the number of RealD-enabled screens worldwide doubled to 18,700 from a year ago.
Revenue for the company -- which also competes with Imax Corp, Dolby Laboratories Inc and privately owned Masterimage 3D -- rose 35 percent to $88 million.
Analysts, on average, expected a profit of 22 cents a share on revenue of $94.4 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Shares of the Los Angeles-based company, which have lost over half their value so far this year, were trading at $9.50 after the bell. They closed at $11.26 on Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange.

Hey there,
One of my favorite radio stations, WFUV from New York recently played the title track from my album "Into The Deep Blue."
It was played on the "Mixed Bag" program hosted by Don McGee.
"Mixed Bag" originally aired as a weekly program on WNEW-FM during its heyday in the 1970's. It was hosted by legendary New York DJ Pete Fornatale. Years later, Pete brought the program to WFUV.
Following Pete Fornatale's death, Don McGee took over the reins of "Mixed Bag" and it continues to air now on Saturdays from 4pm to 8pm. It's a great show and I'm honored to have my music played on it!
You can hear the broadcast below...

About a week ago I posted a flip-through of my weekly and monthly planner pages so far this school year. It was fun to look back on how much my planner pages have evolved in the last 5 months!
Tip: if you like seeing planner videos, make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel. You can choose to get notified of new videos through email or on your YouTube sidebar :)
At the end of the video I shared the beginnings of the weekly page for the first full week of January. Here's the completed page (I was trying to incorporate a New Year's element with the black and gold, as well as incorporate my girls' 4th birthday on Wednesday with the cupcakes and hearts (they had a cupcake-themed birthday party the weekend before)):
I hope you are inspired to get organized for 2016! If you want to know more about the planner I use to organize home and school in one place, check out this video tour of my planner, or my blog post on my planner setup (with links to everything I use to print, bind, and setup the planner). You can also see all of the lesson planning formats available for my "Entire Life Planners" in this post.

While speaking to Glenn Beck earlier today, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) maintained that UN Ambassador nominee Samantha Power, best known for her human rights advocacy, "grovels" before dictators. Beck called Power, whom he referred to as "Powers," as an "extraordinarily dangerous person" and accused her husband Cass Sunstein, who formerly led the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, of directing the IRS to target conservatives.
Cruz called Power "extreme" and "far outside of the mainstream," and said that she and other "left-wing academics" appointed by Obama consistently "grovel before tyrants like Castro in Cuba and North Korea."

Rating: R | Runtime: 92 minutes | Release Date: February 24th, 2012 (Canada)
Studio: Alliance Films
Director(s): Michael Dowse
Writer(s): Jay Baruchel & Evan Goldberg / Adam Frattasio & Doug Smith
(book Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey)
"Probably giving some single mother herpes in the parking lot"
Written by Jay Baruchel and Evan Goldberg, Goon is their generation's Slap Shot with Doug Glatt (Seann William Scott) serving as all three Hanson brothers in one. Bearing more in common than a full stomach of bloody fisticuffs, each work also finds itself born from the minor league annals of hockey's checkered history. Nancy Dowd wrote her 1977 cult classic in part from the stories her brother Ned shared about his experiences in Johnstown, PA while these two Canadian alums of Apatow Productions went indie to adapt Doug Smith's memoirs, Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey. Getting to the heart of what these men do each game—mainly bleed for their team—we're exposed to what it is to be an enforcer.
While not fashionable presently with concussions and CTE on everyone's mind, fighting has always been a huge part of hockey until incidents like Marty McSorley's ugly stick swing and Mike Milbury fighting in the stands became more rampant. Teams used to draft designated pugilists strictly to protect high-paid superstars, many becoming fan favorites in the community. Stereotyped as tough guys not to mess with, the truth of the matter was that many were the nicest of the bunch. They aren't getting paid millions of dollars or saddled with insurmountable pressure to light the lamp consistently. These goons play less than ten minutes a game, help change the momentum, and give the thousands in the stands what they all scream to receive. Every Guy Lafleur needed a Chris Nilan.
For the Halifax Highlanders, that hierarchy comes in the form of Xavier LaFlamme (Marc-André Grondin) and Glatt. A former first round pick, LaFlamme met a bone-crushing check from famed enforcer Ross "The Boss" Rhea (Liev Schreiber) that laid him out and instilled the fear of God. A shadow of the player he was, the rising star is now a second rate minor league has-been unable to shake the cobwebs on the ice or stop hemorrhaging his cash flow on women and drugs off it. Desperate for a solution, coach Ronnie Hortense (Kim Coates) looks to his brother's bar league team in Massachusetts and recruits Glatt's ex-bouncer to the semi-big show. Barely able to stand on his skates let alone finesse a puck towards the net, Doug "The Thug" becomes the Highlanders and LaFlamme's last hope.
Directed by Canadian cult favorite Michael Dowse—known up north most for his Fubar films and to me with Take Me Home Tonight—you can see a desire to depict hard-nosed, beaten to a pulp backyard rules fans clamor to see. Doug's friend Pat (Baruchel) epitomizes the lewdly crass sect with his public access show "Hot Ice" collecting all the gruesome deeds of hockey's goons in one place. It's a rock 'em, sock 'em world shot up close in the action so that the big fights feel as though you're mashing buttons in a high octane bout of NHL '12. Each hit lands, flesh splits, and blood falls with Glatt's bones appearing to be made out of adamantium when he head butts a guy in the helmet with his forehead.
This is the type of all-out brawl comedy the filmmakers seek. We get the weird comradery of a locker room run by an angry coach and drunk captain (Richard Clarkin's Gord Ogilvey) as goalies prove eccentric and Europeans strangely sexual. It's a rag-tag bunch of castoffs in the mold of an adult Mighty Ducks—guys who need a calming force like Glatt for piece of mind and a spark. Doug isn't the sharpest tool in the shed despite a doctor father and brother (Eugene Levy and David Paetkau respectively) and his simpleton's softy demeanor becomes the basis of his unceasing loyalty. With a heavy-handed motif of showing respect to the Highlander crest on the locker room floor prevailing, we watch as Glatt helps rekindle the pride these players lost long ago.
Unfortunately, while the hockey stuff is great from the humor and characters to the on-ice footage, Baruchel and Goldberg stumble in an attempt to add a little romance. Boy does this insertion feel out-of-place, screeching all momentum to a halt. Alison Pill is fantastic—an easy cast being Baruchel's real life squeeze—however her Eva falling for Glatt's mix of sweetness and machismo despite having a boyfriend adds nothing to the film. If anything she only further fractures what the guys were trying to do with Baruchel's Pat and Paetkau's Ira, splitting Doug's cheerleader camp into a three-headed monster when one would have sufficed. We begin to worry so much about this relationship that we miss the ultimate evolution of Grondin's LaFlamme from selfish prick to humble teammate. Maybe that was the plan.
Goon is a ton of fun nonetheless with superb in-joke cameos by former NHLer Georges Laraque and all three "Trailer Park Boys" leads on the "Hot Ice" set. Grondin plays the spoiled pretty boy with aplomb, Baruchel is obnoxiously endearing, and Coates channels his "Sons of Anarchy" rage behind the bench without going overboard. The film ultimately succeeds or fails by how well you accept Scott's Doug and Schreiber's Rhea, though. I personally felt Scott went too low on the intelligence scale with his childlike innocence grating at times while Schreiber stole the show with seasoned experience and "graceful" respect in his near-homicidal actions. A love letter to a bygone era of a sport never receiving the respect it deserves, I applaud all for a job well done.

College honors Community Partners
The University of South Carolina's College of Education recently honored three Midlands area school administrators for their extraordinary commitment to students, their communities and the education profession.
The University of South Carolina's College of Education recently honored three Midlands area school administrators for their extraordinary commitment to students, their communities and the education profession.
"According to University Induction Coordinator, Nicole Skeen, "We are already seeing the benefits of this program. New teachers are telling us that they feel more confident leading their students, more capable of navigating the demands of the job, and, most importantly, that the program has increased their resolve to not only remain, but thrive, in the classroom."
For the first time in its history, the University of South Carolina will allow high school students at an international school in Asia to earn credit toward a degree. This summer, the university's Board of Trustees approved a memorandum of understanding between the College of Education and Singapore American School (SAS) which outlines the partnership.
A newly announced grant will allow more than two dozen teachers from around the country to travel to the University of South Carolina to learn about the impact of black elected officials during Reconstruction and how to best teach these lessons to their students.
Angela Adams, a College of Education team member who coaches and mentors new teachers in South Carolina, was chosen as one of just three instructional coaches who will be recognized at a renowned national conference.
The fellowship program aims to increase research at partnering public schools as well as support the professional development of teachers and administrators.
Only 20 percent of preschoolers are getting the recommended amount of physical activity. Physical education professor Ali Brian says the key to increasing gross motor development among young children is getting parents involved. A new intervention program will do just that thanks to the support of a $565,000 grant from The Duke Endowment.
University of South Carolina's undergraduate elementary teacher preparation program was named one of the top in the country by the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ), a nonpartisan, not-for-profit research and policy organization.
Chelsea VanHorn Stinnett has been named the new director of the CarolinaLIFE program at the University of South Carolina. She will succeed Tony Plotner who led the program for nine years.
The grant provides funding for the creation of a mobile app with immersive audio storytelling, an exhibition website, a brochure and guide map, and an interactive kiosk.
The College of Education at the University of South Carolina is proud to announce a list of faculty and graduate students who will present and/or participate in the AERA annual meeting in April.
Eight College of Education faculty will be talking about their research at the third annual Spark Talks set for March 28 at 2:00 p.m.

6. Cell Energy - Colorful Respiration
The liquid is bromthymol blue (BTB) a non-toxic acid-base indicator that can be used to indirectly measure levels of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2). The amount of CO2 in a solution changes the pH. An increase in CO2 makes a solution more acidic (the pH gets lower). A decrease in CO2 makes a solution more basic (the pH gets higher). The reason for this is that carbon dioxide that is dissolved in water is in equilibrium with carbonic acid (H2CO3).
In any solution, while the majority of CO2 stays as CO2, some of it is converted to H2CO3, turning the solution slightly acidic. If CO2 is added to the water, the level of H2CO3 will rise and the solution will become more acidic. If CO2 is removed from the water, the amount of H2CO3 falls and the solution becomes more basic. Thus, acid-base indicators such as BTB can indirectly measure the amount of CO2 in a solution.
For more than you ever wanted to know about carbonic acid, see the Wikipedia article on carbonic acid. For the example lesson plans developed by Bob Culler through Access Excellence at the National Health Museum. For a great time lapse video showing BTB color changes using elodea and snails, see Activity C13 from Addison-Wesley's Science 10 curriculum.

6. Cell Energy - Photosynthesis in a Jar
In 1771 and 1772, Priestly conducted a series of experiments using a bell jar. It was known that a candle placed in a sealed bell jar would eventually burn out and could not be relighted while still in the jar. Priestly discovered that a plant can survive indefinitely within a jar. Thus, he tried placing a plant into the jar with the burning candle. The candle went out as before and could not be relit right away. Priestly waited several days and tried again. The candle could be relit! The plant had restored the air inside the jar! (Do not try the next series of experiments since it harms animals!) Next priestly investigated what would happen to animals. He found that a mouse placed inside a sealed jar will eventually collapse. However, a mouse can survive in a sealed jar with a plant since the plant restores the air. Priestly was the first to demonstrate that oxygen is necessary for fire and animals but that given time, plants can create oxygen, allowing fires to burn and animals to breathe.

Eating foods high in vitamin C is an important part of maintaining your overall health, and many of the foods also happen to be delicious!
Vitamin C is one of the most critical nutrients in the body, playing a key role in immune system function and the production of white blood cells, as well as the creation of collagen, which is necessary for every tissue, cell, and muscle in the body. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is also critical to the cardiovascular health and the prevention of blood clots.
Top Food Sources of Vitamin C
Some of the best foods high in vitamin C include oranges, strawberries, peas, grapefruit, and pineapple, among others. Depending on how these foods are cooked, stored and cultivated, the amount of vitamin C could differ, but these are the standard amounts for these well-known and easily accessible foods.
A single guava delivers more than 200% of your daily requirement of vitamin C, thanks to the 125 milligrams of ascorbic acid per fruit. [1]
Black Currant
In 100 grams of black currant berries, you can access 180 milligrams of ascorbic acid, roughly 300% of your daily requirement.
Red Pepper
You only need a half cup of red peppers to knock out your daily requirement of vitamin C, thanks to its more than 181 milligrams (+300%). [2]
Eat a single kiwi fruit and enjoy approximately 60 milligrams of ascorbic acid, representing nearly all of your entire daily recommended amount. [3]
Green Peppers
Despite not having quite as much ascorbic acid as red peppers, one cup of green peppers will deliver 200% of your daily requirement – approximately 120 milligrams. [4]
Famed for its vitamin C content, one small orange actually only has 51 milligrams of ascorbic acid; that still represents 85% of your daily intake, but drinking orange juice is the best way to get your vitamin C boost. [5] [6]
A single strawberry can offer 7 milligrams of vitamin C, which is more than 10% of your daily requirement.
1 cup of cauliflower will offer roughly 50 milligrams of ascorbic acid, which is about 85% of what your body needs every day.
If you eat one mango per day, it will provide twice as much vitamin C as your body requires, as it contains an average of 122 milligrams of ascorbic acid. [7]
Eating half a grapefruit will pucker your lips and deliver about 2/3 of your daily requirement of vitamin C.
A single cup of peas will deliver nearly 60 milligrams of ascorbic acid, putting it just under your full daily requirement of ascorbic acid. [8]
Brussels Sprouts
An easy way to eat all your vitamin C for the day is to eat a cup of brussels sprouts, which offers roughly 75 milligrams of ascorbic acid. [9]
1 small papaya offers roughly 150% of your daily requirement of this critical nutrient.
Vitamin C Deficiency Symptoms
If you are suffering from vitamin C deficiency, your doctor may prescribe an increase in foods high in vitamin C. A deficiency in ascorbic acid may manifest in:
- Easy bruising or bleeding
- Slow healing time
- Dry hair
- Brittle nails
- Weakened immune system

Google goes mobile
A new generation of smart phones debuted this week – and analysts say BlackBerry and iPhone should watch their backs. Cellphone carrier T-Mobile USA presented its G1, the first device to run Google's Android operating system.
Like most buzz-worthy phones, the G1 is designed to do more than make calls. It crams in a full Web browser, GPS tracking with Google Street View, speedy 3G Internet connection, one-click Amazon shopping, and a QWERTY keyboard tucked underneath its sliding touch screen.
But the major selling point of the G1 and Android as a system is not the bells and whistles that come preinstalled, but the potential to download brand-new functions through the Android Marketplace, an online store of applications that will run on any Android phone. The G1 will cost $179. Other mobile carriers plan to unveil their own Android phones over the next year.

Unfortunately his plugin doesn't works anymore correctly with latest version of WP. It's bases on very old code base (the now abandoned vafpress-framework) and there are no updates since 5 years. I've managed to FIX it, but I'm not sure it will be ever updated by author. This Plugin it's really simple, powerfull and FANTASTIC! It can replace TONS of very hard to use widget and amenities of most templates! I've just got Avada Theme, and I was really disappointed about not having a customizable tiles object. The Avada's Blog object is something 20% of this plugin, the other objects such as "Latest articles" or "Portfolio" box are even worser! And since it's opens source you are free to modify it and also if documentation of this plugin is a little bit poor for a WP novice like me, this address many limitations about missing examples (thee are 5 very nice examples web sites, but... why you don't show the short code you have used on each site?!)

I was impressed at option to create tiles with my own dimensions, just what I needed. It can be seen that many, many working hours were spent into this plugin. And it still works in Wordpress 5.02. I only found that option for different grid at mobile is not functioning, I will see if I can fix it. I also modified Javascript in a way that it loads 16:9 tiles instead of quadratic ones.
August 8, 2018
This plugin is a waste of time. It doesn't work like they tell you. For whatever reason, I can't create tiles and the button to add tiles on the Pages section of Wordpress doesn't work. BOO!!!
January 16, 2018
It was once a very nice plugin. But it's no longer maintained and has therefore its issues.
January 15, 2018
It's great plugin all in all! Not updated for 2 years. It's buggy! If you don't solve this, then you get 1 star. I will change it to 5 stars, if you solve the problems in this topic: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-grid-on-small-screens-stopped-working/
December 6, 2017
Great plugin, can see myself using it a lot. Only thing that's lacking is the documentation which isn't very complete.

Eric Murtaugh at One Foot Down was impressed by Theo Riddick's performance on Saturday against BYU. The senior running back led the Fighting Irish with 143 yards on just 15 carries. His longest carry was an improbable 55-yard run in which he was almost knocked to the ground at the line of scrimmage. After the game Murtaugh wrote,
Theo showed great burst and ran through a lot of tackles on the day. It was awesome to see him excel as a straight up running back with the ball out of the backfield.
Riddick is fun to root for in part because of his size. At just 5-11, he's the smallest member of the Notre Dame running corps. Teammate Cierre Wood generated 114 rushing yards of his own on 18 carries. George Atkinson added 11 yards and a touchdown.
All in all, the Irish rushed for 270 yards and got 12 of their 16 first downs on rushing plays. It was not a pretty victory, but Notre Dame used its rushing attack to remain undefeated.

After any major storm or significant plumbing problem has caused damage that needs repair, one thing that you should be on the lookout for after those fixes are completed is mold growth. Moisture is the driving force behind mold growth. These fungi can wait to set in for weeks or even months after such repairs. This lag can cause many homeowners to feel that all of the danger to their home has passed, even though it has not. Restoring a mold damaged property is what we do, the actual mold remediation to protect the premises from this and future infestations we do not do. However, we do work with qualified mold remediation companies.
Because West Palm Beach gets its fair share of heavy storms, mold repairs are also a high priority for homeowners. We emphasize the importance of removing mold issues before reconstruction of discarded materials can begin. Remediating mold damage requires specialized training and certifications. Titan Rebuild does not have the training and certifications, but we work with qualified, mold remediation partners. We have extensive experience with the demolition of tainted materials. While no two homes have the same struggles with mold problems, we will treat your home like it should be -a unique and special aspect of your life that means a great deal to you both financially and emotionally.
Drywall heavily damaged must be demolished and replaced with new sheets. We can remove damaged areas and patch if feasible. When the mold has affected semi-porous materials such as wood and concrete, Titan Rebuild can take care of the problem for you. Concrete and cement can deteriorate, but much more slowly than wood.
Wood materials in your home that have been contaminated by mildew and mold also can be restored without being replaced if the fungi have been caught in time. The infected areas must first be treated with antifungal products to exterminate visible signs of mold along with precautions, such as air scrubbers to remove most mold spores from the environment. This service a qualified company will perform. If mold has started warping or causing the wood to deteriorate, only replacing those pieces will suffice. When this happens, many homeowners opt to replace the entire floor, staircase, deck, or other fixture, instead of only replacing the pieces that have been damaged. This is true when matching pieces to the original ones would be difficult because of the age of the wood. At Titan Rebuild we have the expertise to minimize replacement, saving inconvenience and money for you, the homeowner.
At Titan Rebuild, we work with you to make sure you're happy with the end results. We can map out a strategy of remodeling or renovation to get you the kitchen or living room you have always wanted.
When mold has settled into your home and started causing problems, call Titan Rebuild at 561-345-3751. We can have the damage stopped and restore your home to its pre-loss condition.

SxSW 2017: Apparent GM Suzy Smiley Shares Her Top 10
This was my first visit to Austin and SxSW, but I was well aware of its reputation as a must-attend conference for advertising, music and film. With 24 conference tracks running in parallel across brand, design, tech, health, film, music and education, I was certainly spoilt for choice.
I managed to see 37 presentations across my five days in Austin. Reflecting on my experience six months on, the value of authentic storytelling continues to be the most valuable takeaway from my first SxSW.
Here are my favourite moments:
1. Corey Booker – US Senator on "Love"
On the topic of love, Corey talked to a need to emotionally connect with your audience – whether you're a political leader, brand creator or marketer. An Ivy League scholar, Booker took up residence in city trust housing when he was appointed Mayor of Newark so that he could develop an authentic understanding of the story he needed to hear in order to tell it, and service his constituents.
2. Malika Saada Saar, Senior Counsel on Human Rights, Google, on "Contagious Empathy"
Malika encouraged creators to seek out opposing points of view – to get uncomfortable – and avoid the blinkers applied by the echo chamber of social media. She suggests instead to follow agitators and educators to expand our understanding and empathy of broader situations and cultures.
3. Richard Garriott – Author of 'Explore/Create' on "The Overview Effect"
Garriott, the 436th astronaut to visit the International Space Station, encouraged those who seek to be uniquely creative to spend as much time as possible looking outside of the window. He shared his personal experience of The Overview Effect – the unique experience of observing Earth from space – as inspiration for looking at life from different points of view. He recommended that people who can't go to space should visit environments outside of their core industry. He shared that he regularly visits manufacturing plants, laboratories, film sets, gardens, etc. to stretch his mind and consider different ways to solve problems.
4. Corey Richards, National Geographic Photographer of the Year, on "Authenticity"
Famous for taking a selfie while being pulled from an avalanche, Richards shared stories of a lifetime spent photographing people in moments of vulnerability. What was most interesting here was that Richards admitted that it took full disclosure of his depression and PTSD to build that authentic connection and help his own illness recovery. Richards was the best example of a recurring trend among the presenters who leaned towards revealing personal vulnerability and authenticity when curating social media stories in order to create a valuable experience for both the narrator and the audience.
5. Adam Grant, organisational psychologist, The Wharton School, on "Original Thinking"
Grant talked to a greater need for non-conformists in organisations. He shared that most 'originals' (the people inventing companies and businesses that are changing the world) hate failure, and tended to hustle their ideas as side projects for years before they let go of their day jobs. Grant said to prioritise hires for original contribution, meaning that any organisation has to have its share of 'originals' – people who think outside the box and challenge ideas in order to develop solutions – instead of hiring like-minded individuals for the sake of 'culture-fit' because similar personalities won't challenge the norm.
6. Carl Addy, Creative Director from The Mill, on "Re-Framing Chaos"
Addy describes himself as a "problem magnet". His interpretation of chaos was the "friend who gets the best out of you" and talked to the changing pace of tech, illustrating how creative solutions to problems now sit just outside of our capability, reach or view. To cope with this, Addy talked to the science of stress and ways to pull back from panic when you lose your way. He advised creatives and strategists use tactile ways to get back in creative flow like pencil drawing, writing strategy on sketch paper, painting – to go backwards in order to go forwards, and trust that the leap to an original idea will come.
7. Bob Cialdini, social psychologist, on "The Art of Pre-suasion"
While most direct marketing principles focus on 1-1 persuasion, this concept steps back and considers what and how an idea can be planted within the minds of potential customers before they are exposed to traditional marketing. He shared an example where one audience was exposed to an image of pennies through advertisements while another was exposed to images of clouds. The first audience was more susceptible to buy inexpensive furniture, the other chose more expensive, softer furniture. Cialdini suggested that the most insightful question to ask was: what's the message before the message?
8. Casey Neistat, Vlogger, on "The Tarzan Method"
A common theme among influencers was what Neistat termed the "Tarzan method" – where the key was moving at high velocity from one immediate opportunity to the next, getting closer to your goal each time but not planning directly for it, instead of plotting the achievement of a goal from start to finish. The concept is built on the principle that it's easier to steer a moving vehicle and right now is the best time to swing and grab the next vine.
9. Gary Vaynerchuk, Entrepreneur, on "Contextual Execution is Everything"
Vaynerchuk encouraged marketers not to underestimate the context of medium when it comes to social media and to look for the white space to make an impact. "Don't just follow your competitors into the social landscape – whether that's a blog, video series, podcast the way to separate yourself – where are people not marketing and storytelling that you can?"
10. A conversation with Bill Ford on the Smart City of Tomorrow
Ford asked the question, "When do we move from being impressed with what technology can do, to focussing on how it can make people's lives better?" He suggested that if brands don't make people's lives better, they will shift into decline. A reference to the logic of AI and autonomous cars left the room wondering if they would get in a car programmed for the greater good – even if it meant that the car's AI would prioritise a group of strangers' lives on the sidewalk over their own. The talk ended on a recurring theme of theme throughout the conference: the technology is ready, but are we?

Linda Frueh: Echoes and Traces
- Slideshow
- Horizontal Masonry
**The Closing Reception for Linda Frueh: Echoes and Traces is Saturday April 17th! We will be open from 12-8pm! Masks are required and we will have timed entry. Enjoy complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres on our patio from 6-8pm!
Want to reserve your free tickets?? Click here now!**
Gallery 1202 presents, Linda Frueh: Echoes & Traces, a solo show featuring the encaustic paintings of Linda Frueh, a San Diego based artist. The show will take place in our physical location, 7363 Monterey Street, Gilroy, CA, from March 6, 2021 through April 20, 2021. The opening reception will take place on March 20th, from 5-8pm and the closing reception will be April 17th, 2021 from 5-8pm. *Masks and timed entry required. See our website for free ticket reservation.*
Echoes and Traces documents movement through life, the marks we make on people, our imprints; the traces of our existence in the memories of our kin, and how our physical nature affects the world around us. Frueh reflects on her works for this show:
Echoes, memories, physical changes - these are what remains as we move through the world and past one another. This body of work mimics the way that every relationship or journey leaves a trace - memories and scars and connections. The pieces explore those echoes and traces of experience like fossils communicating through time. - Linda Frueh
Frueh's mastery of the encaustic medium results in sensuous surfaces, luminous colors, and textures that create depth and pique curiousity in her audience. In Echoes & Traces, Frueh works in both representational and the abstract, blurring the lines between the two with works like This is Now, and That Was Then, both created at the apex of the pandemic in 2020. In late 2020, and early 2021 the artist takes a deep exploration into the abyss of blackness, toying with the incredible subtleties she could create with just this color in works like Borderlands, and Olduvai.

Let's talk about the last time you—or someone close to you—interviewed for a new job. Chances are that the first step was a phone screen with your potential employer, and when you passed that portion of the process with flying colors, you were then invited for an in-person interview. At that stage, the employer probably asked you to answer a series of questions and to demonstrate your skills through a test or two. The process is set up in a way that narrows down the options until the most suitable candidate is found. Makes sense, right?
Just as job recruiters screen applicants to find the best fit for an open position, we will ask you to perform a series of exercises so that she can observe and understand your body mechanics to uncover any issues or limitations. Used in combination with a full evaluation and assessment, these so-called movement screens are just one tool in identifying the most appropriate treatment or prevention program for you. But unlike that test you may have taken during a job interview, the screen is not testing your skills or abilities, it's simply a way of identifying how your body functions during a variety of movements.
Now that spring is in full swing, it's the perfect time of year to make an appointment with us for a movement screen. The warmer weather means more time spent outdoors participating in sports and other recreational activities that may be physically demanding. A PT checkup with us that includes a movement screen will insure that you're physically able to engage in popular spring and summer adventures, whether it's exploring in the woods, tending to your garden, or swimming at your family's lake house.
We perform movement screens for a variety of reasons, including:
- To identify areas of strength and weakness
- To uncover issues or rule them out
- To determine readiness to begin a safe exercise program
- To improve sport performance (for both novice and elite athletes)
A movement screen is something that you can have done whether you have a nagging injury or are simply ready to kickstart your activity level after a long hiatus. Gaining an understanding of how your body performs during basic exercises such as squats and lunges helps us insure that you can safely jump on a bike or into a pool this summer. And just like an employer screens candidates to identify the one individual who is likely to thrive on the job for many years to come, a movement screen can help you develop a lasting and fulfilling relationship with the activities you enjoy most.
If you have any further questions about movement screens or any other problems keeping you from being active, feel free to give us a call at 316-558-8808 or fill out this contact form here. We'd be happy to chat with you about your particular problem, the uniqueness of your situation, and as always, we want to help you stay mobile, active, and off pain pills.
Until next time,
Cody Barnett PT
Orthopedic Physical Therapist,
Movement Specialist
