We absolutely understand that rest days are used to sleep in, or to not worry about rushing to the box right after work – but your body might thank you if you make the time to come to the box on Thursdays at either 5:30 am or 5:00 pm and stretch it out with us during ROMWOD (Range of Motion Workout of the Day).
You train hard all week, it's important that you give your body the love it needs to recover properly. Stretching to improve range of motion is just as important in the sport of fitness as training hard and eating ring. Here are 3 reasons why you should make time to come to ROMWOD.
Optimize Range of Motion
According to ROMWOD's website: "Range of Motion is optimized through the strengthening of ligaments and tendons while simultaneously removing excess fascia through specific stretching routines." Fascias are a sheet of tissue made up of densely packed protein fibers that weaves throughout the entire body and binds and supports your muscles, bones and organs. To be able to work properly, your fascias need to be, in lack for a better term, super supple and bendy. When they get tight and don't move around properly – the result is sore muscles and decreased ROM. The stretches done during ROMWOD looses and releases fascias to get them back to that supple state so they can properly support your muscles again.
Boost Your Performance
Increasing your range of motion can help generate power and promote efficiency of functional movements. Weak range of motion / little to no mobility in your ankles and hips will make squats tougher and can cause unnecessary pain. Lack of mobility in the front rack position can lead to inefficient cleans, front squats and jerks. Bottom line – increase your range of motion, and feel better during training.
Accelerate Recovery
Through the natural release of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in skin that binds and lubricates movable parts of the body, such as joints and muscles, recovery is increased while the central nervous system is simultaneously reset.
If you can't make it to the box for ROMWOD, we recommend you add some type of stretching routine into your regimen. If you stick to it – you will surely see a improvement in your recovery, performance, and overall range of motion!

CHICAGO – Chicago's love affair with cheese continues to be influenced by their northern neighbor and the abundance of American artisan cheeses available in their own backyard. This week marks the start of American Cheese Month, and Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine, an iconic cheese destination in Chicago is celebrating all month long with a special focus on Wisconsin Cheese.
"We're lucky to have an astounding number of artisan cheesemakers just to the north of us," says Greg O'Neill, owner of Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine stores. "We'll be highlighting our broad selection of Wisconsin cheese, introduce customers to the cheeses and educate them about the passionate Wisconsin makers who craft them."
October is a particularly special time for cheese lovers in Chicago with tastings, pairings and cheese celebrations all month long. Pastoral customers will receive a Wisconsin cheese passport to take their palate on an adventure with 10 featured Wisconsin cheeses. Once filled with stamps showing proof of purchase, customers can be entered to earn fantastic prizes.
Special events featuring Wisconsin cheese will be hosted across Chicago throughout the month:
Since the mid-1800s, before Wisconsin was made a state, resident cheesemakers have been putting the art into artisan cheese – producing 48% of the nation's specialty cheese and winning more awards than any other state or country. Wisconsin is home to 1,200 licensed cheesemakers who draw from their European heritage and cheesemaking traditions, and combine it with incredible innovation to produce over 600 cheese varieties, types and styles.
This promotion is a partnership between Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin and Pastoral.
Need help? Say Hello
© Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy Sitemap
In Wisconsin, we make more flavors, varieties, and styles of cheese than anywhere else in the world. We believe in tradition, producing everything from Italian classics, like parmesan and ricotta, to swiss cheese and cheddar varieties. But every Wisconsin cheesemaker is an innovator as well, which is why we have so many Wisconsin originals, like colby and muenster. Whether it's a grilled cheese sandwich, potatoes au gratin, or a charcuterie board, Wisconsin cheese makes every dish and recipe tastier.

What's a provider?
Your provider is the legal entity responsible for the services you provide, and for upholding quality and safety.
Providers can register as a partnership, an individual or an organisation (which includes legal entities such as limited companies and charities). The provider type does not relate to how many contracts or locations you have, only the provider's legal entity.
It's the overall service provider that has to register with us, not the individual premises where care is provided, nor the individuals working there.
For example ...
A GP partnership with three surgeries and multiple contracts only needs to register once, giving all the details for each surgery on a single application for the whole partnership.
But three GP partnerships based in the same health centre at the same address will each have to register, since they're classed as separate legal entities.

MEGAN v2.1 plus Guenther 2012 biogenic emissions
On this page we describe the MEGAN v2.1 plus Guenther et al 2012 biogenic emissions, which are used in GEOS-Chem v10-01 and newer versions. The MEGAN emissions are fed into GEOS-Chem via the HEMCO emissions component.
- 1 Overview
- 2 CO2 direct effect on isoprene emissions
- 3 References
- 4 Previous issues that are now resolved
Dylan Millet wrote:
GEOS-Chem emission routines for biogenic VOCs have been updated to MEGAN2.1 as described in Guenther et al., Geosci. Model Dev., 5, 1471–1492, 2012. (Article) The net result is a 11-12% decrease in the global flux for isoprene, and a 30% increase in the global flux for total monoterpenes. Biogenic alkene emissions are now computed using MEGAN instead of by scaling to isoprene, as was done previously. Biogenic emissions of acetaldehyde are now included. Annual emission totals at 2x2.5 resolution for the different compounds are within ~20% of the values in Table 6 of Guenther et al., within the expected uncertainty associated with differing meteorology, years, etc. Note that global emissions can also change by 10% or more when running at 2x2.5 versus 4x5 degree horizontal resolution (for both the updated and the standard emission routines).
One of the 'under-the-hood' changes is that there is now a single driver routine for calculating MEGAN emissions across all compounds (GET_MEGAN_EMISSIONS). Previously we had separate driver routines for each individual compound. GET_MEGAN_EMISSIONS is passed the compound name, looks up or computes the appropriate parameters, and returns the corresponding emissions. This should hopefully make it much easier to add new compounds in the future, since one just has to add the appropriate parameter values for that compound. There are parameters included for a number of compounds not presently in the standard chemistry scheme - for use in specialized simulations and/or future inclusion in standard fullchem. Another under-the-hood change is that the PCEEA/PECCA flag is no longer needed since we use this scheme exclusively now.
The new MEGAN implementation computes emissions for certain compounds based on pre-defined emission factor maps provided with the MEGAN source code. For other compounds emissions are computed in GEOS-Chem based on CLM4 plant functional type distributions combined with PFT-specific emission factors. This PFT approach can be used for all MEGAN compounds if desired (by adding in the corresponding emission factors for each PFT), which may be useful for applications using different vegetation maps or dynamically shifting vegetation.
The updated emissions lead to lower CO concentrations in the Northern Hemisphere during summer. A GEOS-Chem v9-01-03 4x5 run for 2006 gave CO mixing ratios averaged for P>800 hPa) that were lower by a few ppb over much of the Northern Hemisphere during ummer months. Maximum decreases of about 10ppb occur over certain source regions. Ox changes are small (< 2ppb for P > 800hPa) using the standard v9-1-3 (non-Caltech) chemistry scheme.
Please contact Dylan Millet with any further questions about these emissions.

Data files
In GEOS-Chem v10-01 and newer versions, the MEGAN v2.1 plus Guenther (2012) biogenic emissions are read with the HEMCO emissions component. We have created new MEGAN data files (in COARDS-compliant netCDF format) for use with HEMCO. These new data files are contained in the HEMCO data directory tree. For detailed instructions on how to download these data files to your disk server, please see our Downloading the HEMCO data directories wiki post.

Discussion following 1-month benchmark v10-01h
This emission scheme was validated in GEOS-Chem v10-01h. The following discussion ensued.
Dylan Millet wrote:
- A few comments and questions below.
- 1. Acetone
- Based on the benchmarking I did earlier biogenic acetone emissions should increase 6-7% globally & annually with the MEGAN update. But the emission ratio plot for ACET in the new benchmark shows a >2x increase everywhere. On the emission summary page, the "biogenic and natural' acetone sources look to have increased from 1.6 to 5.2. But if we look on the same page at the "acetone sources" the two simulations are very similar and the sum is consistent with a ~7% increase. In other words the large discrepancy in the emission ratio plot and in the "biogenic and natural sources" table for acetone just looks to be a correction to the way the diagnostics are being done. Is that right? Consistent with that, the concentration ratios are not very different.
- 2. Isoprene
- I'd expect about a 10-12% isoprene decrease globally & annually for isoprene emissions. The new benchmark has a ~30% decrease. I'm not sure why that would be. It could just be the difference between a 1-month run and a full year, or interannual variability, I suppose, though the discrepancy seems large for that. Does the 10-01f benchmark we're comparing to use the (old) standard canopy treatment, or does it use the PCEEA parameterization? That was an option before, but we got rid of it with the MEGAN update (which only uses PCEEA). If we're switching canopy schemes that might explain the difference.
- 3. For propene I expect about a 50% increase globally. The change we see in the benchmark is larger (67%) but not dramatically.
- 4. Since we now have biogenic emissions of ALD2 we should add the appropriate biogenic benchmark diagnostics.
Melissa Sulprizio wrote:
- 1. Acetone
- That is correct. Prior to this version, there was a bug in diag3.F in the conversion to atomsC/cm2/s that affected the biogenic acetone diagnostic (ND46). The error appears to have come in with the implementation of HEMCO. We corrected the unit conversion in this version and the biogenic acetone emissions are now more consistent with pre-HEMCO values.
- 2. Isoprene
- The PECCA/PCEEA model was turned off in the old benchmarks, so that may explain the difference. From the HEMCO.log file for the previous benchmark (v10-01f_UCX), we have:
Use MEGAN biogenic emissions (extension module) - Use PECCA model: F - Use the following species: Isoprene = ISOP 1 Acetone = ACET 26 C3 Alkenes = PRPE 23 Ethene = C2H4 -1 --> Isoprene scale factor is 1.00000000000000 - MEGAN monoterpene option enabled: CO = CO 31 OC aorosol = OCPI 16 Monoterp. = MONX -1
- 3. Propene
- Could it be that the difference in meteorology fields is causing this difference? It looks like your benchmarks used GEOS-5 met fields for 2006. In v10-01h, we are using GEOS-FP met fields for July 2013.
- 4. Diagnostics
- I have added ALD2 to the benchmark plotting routines. We were unable to make difference plots for this version since v10-01f_UCX didn't include biogenic emissions of ALD2 so I have that update commented out for now, but we will include differences of ALD2 biogenic emissions in future benchmarks. For your reference, I have included a map of the ALD2 biogenic emissions from v10-01h below:
Dylan Millet wrote:
- Ok, that all seems reasonable. The only question left in my mind is the 30% isoprene decrease compared to 10% that I saw earlier. I've started a run testing the impact of switching canopy schemes to see if that accounts for it.
- Based on my original implementation of the MEGAN update, changing the MEGAN algorithms and EFs gives a 10-11% reduction in global emissions. Changing the canopy scheme gives another 7-8% decrease. So the total expected decrease (18%) is still less than we see with the new benchmark (30%), but close enough that it could be due to 1 month versus 1 year, different met fields, interannual variability, etc. I vote for moving ahead and having a look at the 1-y benchmark.

Discussion of LAI Data Sources
Barron Henderson wrote:
- LAI products from MODIS come from many sources, some of which are more recent than the ones in GEOS-Chem at this time. I propose updating LAI to the product described by Yuan et al. 2011. This product is available from 2000 through 2015 and was previously applied with MEGAN by Sindelarova et al. (2014). I performed tests with GEOS-Chem v9-02 and saw generally consistent results.
- I simulated isoprene emissions for 2008 and 2010 using both the product already in GEOS-Chem and the Yuan et al. (2011) product. LAI varies both intra and inter-annually. GEOS-Chem currently applies year-specific LAI for 2005-2009. Beyond 2009, GEOS-Chem currently uses LAI from 2008. Before 2005, GEOS-Chem currently uses LAI from 2005. By comparing both a year-specific run and an extrapolated run, I can estimate both the difference due to LAI product differences and the effect of interannual variability.
- The year-specific comparison shows patch differences that are large and smaller differences overall. The global total ISOP emissions are reduced by 4-7% per month (see File:README LAI BNU.txt). In specific locations, the differences can be quite high. These may be a combination of edge effects where spatial processing was different and a difference in the LAI maximum. Sindelarova et al (2014) applied the Yuan dataset with a 7 m2/m2 maximum, which was not applied in my tests and may account for some large differences. The differences between products is larger than the differences between years.
- For 2008, there is not a huge difference that motivates a high priority implementation. However, upon further reflection, this update seems easy and practical. It also has the added benefit of providing a consistent product for a 15-year period.

Previous issues that are now resolved
Bug fix for monoterpenes in ND46 diagnostic
This fix was validated with the 1-month benchmark simulation v11-01c and approved on 14 Sept 2015.
Jared Brewer wrote:
- I'm now working with the public release of GEOS-Chem v10-01, and I'm reaching out to you regarding a possible bug that I've identified in the monoterpene outputs in the BIOGSRCE diagnostic in diag3.F - specifically the FACTOR code in line 4028. At this line, the program claims it is converting from KgC/m2/s to AtomsC/cm2/s, but includes the factor of 10 for conversion from Kg monoterpene to atoms C (IE, 10 carbons/monoterpene). This bug would appear to be common in all the different monoterpene emissions as well (A-Pinene, Ocimene, etc.).
To resolve this issue, we have removed the number of carbons per molecume (10 for monoterpenes, 15 for sesquiterpenes, etc.( from the conversion factors in diag3.F.

Minor bug fix in MEGAN_Mono extension
This update was added as a last-minute fix to GEOS-Chem v10-01. It was included in the GEOS-Chem v10-01 public release (17 Jun 2015).
Christoph Keller wrote:
- I came across a small bug in MEGAN: I tried to run the "standard" MEGAN only, i.e. without the monoterpenes, but this would give me zeros for all emissions except isoprene because the CLM4 arrays were only being read if MEGAN extension 109 (MEGAN_mono) was enabled. So in the configuration file, we need to link the CLM4 arrays to extension 108, not 109:
108 CLM4_PFT_BARE $ROOT/MEGAN/v2015-02/CLM4_PFT.geos.1x1.nc PFT_BARE 2000/1/1/0 C xy 1 * - 1 1
- etc. Furthermore, I made two small updates in HEMCO/Extensions/hcox_megan_mod.F for better error trapping and to avoid out-of-bounds errors:
- 1. In the run driver (HCOX_Megan_Run), evaluate the error return code of CALC_AEF and CALC_NORM_FAC:
IF ( FIRST ) THEN ! Generate annual emission factors for MEGAN inventory CALL CALC_AEF( am_I_Root, HcoState, ExtState, RC ) IF ( RC /= HCO_SUCCESS ) RETURN ! Calculate normalization factor (dbm, 11/2012) CALL CALC_NORM_FAC( am_I_Root, RC ) IF ( RC /= HCO_SUCCESS ) RETURN ENDIF
- 2. In routine CALC_AEF, check if arrays are really used:
! Convert AEF arrays to [kgC/m2/s] ! Multiply arrays by FACTOR and ratio [g C/g compound] ! NOTE: AEFs for ISOP, MBOX, BPIN, CARE, LIMO, OCIM, SABI ! are read from file in [kgC/m2/s], so no need to convert here IF ( ExtNrMono > 0 ) THEN AEF_APIN(I,J) = AEF_APIN(I,J) & * FACTOR * 120.0_hp / 136.234_hp AEF_MYRC(I,J) = AEF_MYRC(I,J) & * FACTOR * 120.0_hp / 136.234_hp AEF_OMON(I,J) = AEF_OMON(I,J) & * FACTOR * 120.0_hp / 136.234_hp ENDIF
- Note that these fixes do not affect the benchmarks since the benchmarks run with MEGAN_Mono turned on.

Restore missing BIOGENIC_CO diagnostics
This update was added as a last-minute fix to GEOS-Chem v10-01. It was included in the GEOS-Chem v10-01 public release (17 Jun 2015).
Dylan Millet wrote:
CO SOURCES Tracer v10-01e-geosfp-Run1 v10-01h-geosfp-Run0 v10-01i-geosfp-Run0 ============================================================================ COan+bf 527.122265 598.575584 608.052597 Tg CObb 283.579062 296.993630 293.039311 Tg COmono 34.826250 41.440323 0.000000 Tg
- Why did the CO source from terpenes change [in GEOS-Chem v10-01]? It looks like it went to zero? Is that just a change in the diagnostic?
Bob Yantosca replied:
- The zero CO from monoterpenes is a diagnostic issue. I looked through the logs from a recent simulation and I saw:
HEMCO WARNING: Diagnostics counter is zero - return empty array: BIOGENIC_CO --> LOCATION: DiagnCont_PrepareOutput (hco_diagn_mod.F90)
- Melissa and I just traced this to an omission in the HEMCO MEGAN extension (module HEMCO/Extensions/hcox_megan_mod.F). HEMCO was computing the CO emissions from monoterpenes properly. But these emissions were not being added to the proper diagnostic container (called BIOGENIC_CO) in HEMCO's data structure. Therefore, when we went to print out these emissions, they showed up as all zeroes.
- It appears that the subroutine call to add the CO emissions from monoterpenes to the diagnostics had been somehow removed from the GEOS-Chem v10-01i code. We think that this may have been "clobbered" by a recent Git merge. In any case, adding the lines in GREEN correct this issue:
! ----------------------------------------------------------------
IF ( ( ExtNrMono > 0 ) .AND. ( IDTCO > 0 ) ) THEN
! Add flux to emission array
CALL HCO_EmisAdd( am_I_Root, HcoState, FLUXCO, IDTCO,
& RC, ExtNr=ExtNr )
CALL HCO_ERROR( 'HCO_EmisAdd error: FLUXCO', RC )
! Also archive the BIOGENIC_CO diagnostic (bmy, 4/29/15)
Arr2D => FLUXCO
DiagnName = 'BIOGENIC_CO'
CALL Diagn_Update( am_I_Root, ExtNr=ExtNrMono,
& cName=TRIM(DiagnName), Array2D=Arr2D, RC=RC)
Arr2D => NULL()
- With the fix installed, HEMCO now successfully adds the CO emitted from monoterpenes to the BIOGENIC_CO diagnostic instead of printing out all zeroes.

the Festival of Youthful and Cinematic Production for Short Films
1. To increase the cinematic production of the youths by providing youth sector the opportunity to present their ideas and cinematic works encourage them to participate in their art production in the national and international festivals .
2. To highlight youth artistic production with the use by wide media to provide the official support by the government.
3. Giving the opportunity to discover the creative artistically young people through the acquaintance of their cultural production
The Department of Culture and Arts at the Iraqi Ministry of Youth and Sports has endeavor to create appropriate conditions to enhance capacities of the youth of both sexes to produce short films and documentaries to support aspects related to the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions.
Such festivals are usually announced and text of youth are received from all regions of Iraq. Texts are often technically and artistically evaluated by a specialized committee. Those young people are, then, granted an amount of money for producing their films as the artistic products are presented to the committee for further artistic evaluation. Works are selected and then displayed at the National Youth Festival to compete for the first three positions ; -
The first prize is ( $ 12000 ) twelve thousand dollars , The second prize is ( $ 8000 ) eight thousand dollars and the third prize is ($ 4000 ) four thousand dollars
1. Increasing the youth art production by 30 % in comparison with previous years when (160) one hundred and sixty texts were received and examined for evaluation in addition to produce thirty- two youth film .
2. The art works of the youth have been stepped-up by 50% that participated in national and international levels.
3. Covering the satellite and media channels of 14 fourteen channels such as ( Al- Hurrah , Iraqi Media Network , AL- Hurriah , Al- Sharqia ) in addition to the local journals such as Al-Sabah and electronic newspapers …etc ) of this festivals .
4 .Discovering two creative artistic talents in the southern and rural areas far from the capital Baghdad and would paying attention for them in the future to increase the artistic production.

The reading progress bar is a great user experience on longreads. Especially if it accurately depicts the reading progress in the article text, and nothing else. This is standard on single blog posts and enabled by default.
Location top of screen, bottom of screen or below a sticky menu.
Choose color of the reading progress bar.
Have the bar start at 0% even when part of the article is visible.
Select post types you wish the bar to appear, or individual posts.
The reading progress bar has smooth initializing since part of the text may already be visible, after that a lightweight update-function ensures quick response while scrolling.
The bar can attach itself to any (sticky) element that you define as an admin, when there are multiple, the first visible element will be used.
When there is no (longer a) visible element to attach to, the bar displays at the top.
If there is no single article identified (by class names or id) it uses the whole page to calculate progress.
This is my 6th WordPress plugin but my first one freely available to everybody. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoy building it!
Joeri (ruige hond)
Install the plugin by clicking 'Install now' below, or the 'Download' button, and put the WP-reading-progress folder in your plugins folder
By default it only works on single blog posts and uses an orange colour
Go to settings->WP Reading Progress to customize it
Upon uninstall WP Reading Progress removes its own options and post_meta data (if any) leaving no traces.

There are almost 600,000 U.S. military veterans in Washington state. Many of them face challenges and legal barriers to successfully reintegrate into civilian life. The Washington State Bar Association encourages legal professionals to help remove those barriers. Here are some ways to help and resources for you:
WSBA Call to Duty Initiative
WSBA Call to Duty is designed to inform, inspire, and involve volunteer attorneys and other legal professionals in meeting the legal needs of veterans and their families. We strive to provide you the tools and training to put your legal skills to work. There are two parts to the Initiative: the Pledge and the Day of Service.
The Pledge involves promising to help a veteran with their legal case. There are many ways to fulfill this pledge — participate in a Day of Service, take a veteran's case, or volunteer with organizations that serve vets. Take the Pledge today.
The Day of Service welcomes volunteer attorneys and other legal profession of all experience levels to be a part of serving Washington military veterans. Volunteers attend a free CLE and participate in a legal clinic on a specific legal issue. Watch for information about upcoming Days of Service in Snohomish, Kitsap, Jefferson, Benton and Franklin Counties in 2018.
New to Serving Veterans?
The military has a distinct culture and unique legal issues. There are many great resources to introduce you to the cultural and legal issues, including the Washington State Attorney General's Military & Veteran Legal Resource Guide and Representing Washington Veterans: Basic Legal and Cultural Concepts. The Washington State Veterans Bar Association and the WSBA Legal Assistance to Military Personnel Section are also valuable resources for educating the public and legal professionals on issues relating to veterans. Other resources are listed on our website. In addition, WSBA CLE has two upcoming seminars that will focus on Military issues:
- The Alpha-Bravo-Charlies of Working with Vets — Dec. 5, 2017
Join us for a half-day program focused on veterans' legal issues. Come away with an increased awareness of key considerations and aspects of the veteran experience to inform advocacy.
- Often Overlooked: Family Law Issues — Dec. 13, 2017
Expert speakers will dive into the unique cross-section of family law and the military and explore the particular rules that apply to family law matters in the military context. They'll also cover the complicated ethical issues in appointing a Guardian Ad Litem when a party to the matter is mentally disabled.
Spend some time this Veterans Day by making a plan and commitment to serve those who served our country. For more information on opportunities and resources for serving veterans, please contact email@example.com.
The Washington State Bar Foundation ensures WSBA has the resources to lead on issues of justice, public service, and diversity. As part of WSBA's strategic goal to enhance the culture of service among members, we are pleased to offer the WSBA Call to Duty Program as a public service opportunity.

Montreal - January 13, 2012 - Mike Cammalleri had to know it was coming. I don't know that for a fact but when a veteran free agent signee is being shopped (Pierre Gauthier said "about a month" (didn't he say that about Andrei Markov?) but a Flames executive said three months), especially if, like Cammalleri, he has a limited no movement clause, then one can easily assume their agents keep them duly informed. And maybe that's what Cammalleri meant when he told Francois Gagnon & Arpon Basu to "read between the lines" following his "losing attitude" rant. It was perhaps understandable to think that Cammalleri was trying to talk his way out of town or just expanding on a recent trade request but it appears the exact opposite is true. My initial gut instinct was that Cammalleri knew the Canadiens had been trying to trade him and was hurt by it. A victim of a bad season to be sure but also the victim of a poorly constructed team.
Pierre Gauthier can't find anybody to take Scott Gomez and even if he could he would not get an NHL ready player in return. Brian Gionta is a salt of the earth character kind of player that is universally respected. Thomas Plekanec was just locked up. Max Pacioretty, PK Subban and Carey Price are not going anywhere. So, if the Habs were going to trade a top shelf player in an effort to get bigger and stronger physically I suppose it had to be Cammalleri.
Rene Bourque will score more ugly goals than Cammalleri. He'll hit more people. And maybe an old lunch pail captain like Randy Cunneyworth will get the most out of him because while on the surface Bourque's numbers look good, what's not seen on a stat sheet is work ethic. In that area Bourque has a less than stellar reputation. Gauthier might have just acquired Dustin Penner Light.
To be fair I like the money saved and I like the 2nd round draft choice but I don't think there's a scenario that will convince me that Pierre Gauthier is the right guy to be pulling the trigger for the Canadiens and their fan base. He just realized that the team he helped put together is too small? He just realized that the Boston Bruins are that rare beast in this era - a defending stanley cup champion that has actually improved? Did he just wake up to see his old team the Ottawa Senators running away from his current team? Did he really think that Chris Campoli at a salary of nearly two million dollars would help? Does he not realize that in acquiring Campoli and Thomas Kaberle for the blue line he made things so much worse for his franchise goaltender? Did he not think it might be wise, prior to introducing his new head coach that it might have been worth the effort to get him to say, at the very least, "bonjour"? Yes, Gauthier sure has been pushing a lot of buttons this season. But none bigger than the one labeled "panic".
•Yannick Weber. One day after telling reporters that he thinks he should be in the line up because he knows he's "better than some of the guys playing" Weber scored a late power play goal to give the Canadiens a chance to tie the game in Boston. It was Weber's 4th goal of the season which leads all Montreal defensemen. All four of his goals have been on the power play. Only Erik Cole (7) has scored more. Geez, if you're going to dress 7 defensemen and you have the worst power play in the entire NHL then wouldn't it make sense to dress a power play specialist?
•Carey Price. Another strong outing in Boston. Unless you believe it's Price's fault that Zdeno Chara's dump in hit a stanchion and bounced in front of an empty net.
•The Canadiens overall effort but especially in the third period when they were short a man and down to just 10 forwards after Cammalleri was informed that he had been traded. An NHL player traded during a game is something most of us had never seen.
•PK Subban going nose to nose with Milan Lucic. Let me rephrase that. Subban not backing down while continuing to play the body whether it was Lucic or later on David Krecji. The hit on Krecji brought the usual response from Boston with Andrew Ferrence grabbing Subban by the collar. And PK was naturally slammed after the game for not swinging with Ferrence but he got a Montreal power play out of it which produced a goal.
•Three big offensive wingers for Montreal - Cole, Max Pacioretty & Andrei Kostitsyn combined for 15 shots on goal but couldn't beat Tim Thomas.
•The Canadiens PK unit led by the NHL's leading shot blocker Josh Gorges was perfect again (5 for 5).
•Carey Price named to the Eastern Conference All Star team. He's played more minutes than anybody in the NHL this season. He needs the time off.
•Twitterville exploding with erroneous reports of where Cammalleri was headed. At least nobody died.
•The Bruins can thank Montreal for turning their season around. After losing back to back games to the Habs in November Boston has gone 25-4-1. I saw them at their dumbest vs Vancouver last Saturday. But how'd they lose the other three?
•With everybody's favourite whipping boy now back in Calgary (just in time for Scott Gomez to return to the line up) where is the microscope on what has been a terrible season for Thomas Plekanec? When exactly did he start playing like "a little girl" again? He's now a team worst -13 while recently generating next to no offense. With the schedule and his teams' playoff hopes slipping away Plekanec has managed one assist in his last five games. In Boston he failed to get a single shot on goal, was terribly soft on Boston's second goal by Lucic and picked up a stupid, lazy holding the stick penalty in the Boston zone with just 1:12 to play and the Habs pressing for the equalizer.

2017: the Year of Concerts
I read a book once called How to Ditch Your Fairy about a world where everyone has a fairy that makes them exceptionally lucky at one thing. For example, if you have a parking fairy, you always get an amazing parking spot. One of my friends seems to have this fairy. It took me almost a decade to figure out which fairy I might have, but after this year, I know it is a concert fairy. Travel plans just so happen to magically align with the tours of various British musicians or occasionally acquiring tickets from generous friends who can no longer attend...yes, sounds like a concert fairy!
The first of the magical travel coincidences happened when I discovered that Bastille would be in Vancouver the same time as me. I tried to convince practically my entire hostel to attend as well. I had seen Bastille once before in Denver (December 2015), but they had released a new album since then. It was the perfect way to start what unintentionally became the "year of concerts." The next two months, I listened to practically nothing but Bastille and anyone in my car had to put up with that. As one friend said, "I don't think I've heard their new album yet...oh wait, actually I definitely have since you've been driving all weekend." My friends were all very happy when I went to a different concert, in hopes that I might change up my music selections.
I was already in Denver for the weekend and obviously accepted when a friend invited me to go watch British musicians. One of my flat mates from London has seen the 1975 many, many times and though I'm not trying to match her record, I had always heard great things about their live performances. Always looking for unsuspecting British musicians to marry, gain UK citizenship, and then travel the world, I quite liked the openers, a new band called Colouring and decided one of them might have potential. I said, "Watch he's probably 18." Sure enough, a simple Google search showed the year of birth as 1998...oh, so he is 18, lol, okay never mind, little hatchlings.
My concert fairy slacked off for a long time on seeing Coldplay, but finally delivered in a big way. After several failed attempts to attend a Coldplay concert, they happened to be in Dublin while I was in Ireland. Tickets for this July show supposedly sold out within minutes the prior October. Somehow though, I was able to find a normal (not re-sold) ticket when I searched "restricted view." A few other people I know tried to buy a ticket right after I did, but they were all sold out, so thank you, concert fairy, for whatever you did there. I had the worst seat in the house, but it didn't matter at all, it was definitely worth it! Their set included over 20 of their songs. As anyone who listens to Coldplay agrees, their last few albums are not nearly as good as their earlier ones and after a string of older songs, they started to sing "Everglow" and at least half of the lower levels filed out of the arena for a break...I found that amusing. I wrote in my Ireland blog post about how cool the bracelets that lit up were, and the special effects with fireworks and everything were top-notch. When I saw a high school friend recently for the first time all year, one of the first things she asked was whether finally seeing Coldplay in concert was everything I thought it would be and it definitely was!
I was much overdue for a trip to Red Rocks: the best concert venue on the planet. The Head and the Heart came on stage to John Denver's, "Rocky Mountain High" which was the perfect way to start a set at Red Rocks. I noticed one lady had the job of asking people to please move out of the stairs. That is definitely a job I could do. At this point, I decided to contemplate alternative options to just travel and watch concerts all the time, in the event that marrying a British musician does not work out. If you live in Colorado and have never been to a concert at Red Rocks, put that one your to-do list. If you don't live in Colorado but find yourself here for a visit, definitely check to see if there is a concert of interest while you are in town. The red rocks work as a natural amplifier so there are only speakers in the front and the sound carries naturally.
It's been a very exciting year musically, as my favourite red-headed British musician has been number one in the world on Spotify since the release of his new album. I attended with a friend of a friend who I had never met before. I told her, "I'm wearing a ridiculous elephant romper with feathers in the front and gladiator-like shoes so that you can recognize me." She replied, "Oh, I'm just wearing a white t-shirt and jeans lol." But she found me and we had a grand time.
No one understands why I like Jamestown Revival so much. My friends who like folk say their music is too country. My friends who like country, say their music is too folk. My friends who like neither just say, "this doesn't sound like your type of music at all" and my mom even said it sounded like "hillbilly music." Well, that's fine, I thought and went to their concert by myself. I should mention that they were actually the first of two openers and I've never gone to a concert for the first of two openers before. As you can see from this picture, no one else was paying attention and just trickling in to the stadium or talking quietly amongst themselves. Okay...I understand, I'm the only Jamestown Revival fan in the whole world! I met some members from a local band who complimented me of my sophisticated musical taste by going to a concert for the first of two openers. The other performers, The Record Company and Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue were great as well, I made some new friends, and it was an overall successful night.
The Lumineers played three nights in a row at their hometown show. Having a hometown show always brings a new energy and makes the concerts even more exciting. Their shows sold out right away, but they added some extra seats the week of the event, which I was able to get, thanks concert fairy. I've been listening to The Lumineers practically since they released their first single and seeing them live certainly didn't disappoint!
Somehow Bastille's tour path and my travel plans managed to mesh again, this time when I was visiting family near Pittsburgh. I also appreciated that in the background of one of their songs, they had a skyscraper labeled "Crystal Tower." This show was on the one-year anniversary of the release of their newest album. It was actually a festival show with four other bands, and the first opener, Frenship, was my second-favourite of the night. Overall, I think Vancouver was a slightly better show, since the stage here was smaller and a festival show means a slightly shorter set, but I was much closer to the stage this time and they played the just-released a few days prior cover of Green Day's "Basket Case." So both shows were worth going to. Sorry friends, still playing Bastille music at least 75% of the time in my car. If you can quote every single word of their song "Glory," you have me to thank.
If you happen to go to Stage AE in Pittsburgh, be prepared to only bring a teeny tiny bag unless your bag is full of diabetes supplies, as mine was. When they almost didn't let me in with the bag, I explained that it was full of medical supplies and they let me in, much to the annoyance of another lady who was turned away. Sorry, lady, it's better to not be allowed to have your bag at a concert than having type 1 diabetes.
I continued with my get-a-job-touring-with-a-band theme when I noticed there was someone whose sole job seemed to be to turn on a flashlight at one point for Dan Smith, Bastille's singer to go down the stairs. I later mentioned to a friend, "I could be the person who turns on the flashlight for him and since he's British, I'll even call it a torch instead." She said, "Okay, Crystal, we've reached a new low, haven't we? Trying to get a career as someone who turns on a flashlight? And you definitely don't have a technology fairy, so the flashlight probably would malfunction every show and he'd fall down the dark stairwell." Okay, point taken.
Yet another unexpected, impulsive concert attended was Iceland's Kaleo. Obviously quite popular in their native country, they now live in Texas and I was surprised that they were sold out two nights in Denver, as they only have one album out. I had the opportunity to try out my terrible Icelandic again and I think this has to be in the top 5 best concerts. They have a video on Youtube of them playing their most well-known song "Way Down We Go" in a volcano, because...Iceland.
When I found out Vance Joy was coming to Denver, my internal dialogue went something like this, "You really don't need to go to any more concerts. Yeah but, he's from Australia so who knows when he'll get back to Denver again. You have another concert planned that week. Yeah, but he's probably one of your top ten favourite musicians and it is in a venue that you've never been to before. Okay, fine." My flat mate and I have very different musical tastes and I am always trying to convert her to my (obviously way better) music. After trying to get her to attend a concert with me all summer, I finally persuaded her to come watch Vance Joy with me (I think she knew three of his songs) and she had so much fun that afterwards she suggested we do this more often. I said, "I told you you'd enjoy my music!" After watching this concert, I kept telling people that I was going to move to Australia...and then we found a black widow spider at work and I said, "Just kidding, they have even worse spiders there."
You know you've gone to way too many concerts when this is the second time you've seen both openers in the last two months...both times accidentally! K Flay was also one of the openers for the Bastille concert in Pittsburgh and Grouplove opened for the Head and the Heart at Red Rocks. This was actually the concert with the most advance planning, as my friend and I got our tickets way back in the spring time! It was a really well-done show, Imagine Dragons have had so many songs that have gone beyond the alternative circle and into mainstream music as well and for good reason. Plus, since we got the tickets during a pre-sale, we actually had really good seats, which was a welcome change!

Traveling does not continually have to fee you an arm and a leg … There are ways to shop cash to stretch your travel price range. Booking matters in advance isn't usually a clever idea … for me, ultimate minute bookings work.

SmartMeasurement's Alsonic DSP fixed-mount transit-time ultrasonic flowmeter uses clamp-on transducers for non-invasive liquid flow rate measurement. This clamp on flow meter uses our patented Fine Time measurement technology, which utilizes the meter's ultrasonic beams to measure fluid velocity at pico-second time intervals. The rapid succession of velocity measurements enables accurate, drift-free flow measurement of ultraclean to dirty liquids containing up to 30% solids or gas bubbles.
The Alsonic ultrasonic flow meter's DSP technology enables "cross correlation" of ideal signals to cancel extraneous noise and create a three-dimensional cross section of the flow velocity distribution profile of the medium flowing through the pipe. Using advanced technology available only from SmartMeasurement, an innovative "cross correlation mode" expands the Alsonic DSP's measuring capabilities to include other applications previously measured only by Doppler meters, such as raw sewage, sludge, slurries, and other extremely attenuating multiphase fluids.
An optional dual-channel/dual-path model can be configured for a variety of uses. These specialized ultrasonic flow meters can be used for flow measurement in two different pipes, leak detection via measurements of two different locations on the same pipe, and dual-path measurement at one location for maximum accuracy.
Request a quote on an Alsonic DSP transit-time ultrasonic flow meter for your application. Contact SmartMeasurement to learn more.

Luxembourg, Medal, Adoption de l'Euro
Politics - 2002 - MS(65-70) - Silver Plated
30 gr.
- Country: Luxembourg
- Denomination: Medal
- Year: 2002
- Composition: Silver Plated Copper
- Diameter: 70
An "MS(65-70)" quality
As in numismatics it is important that the state of conservation of an item be carefully evaluated before it is offered to a discerning collector with a keen eye.
This initially obscure acronym comprising two words describing the state of conservation is explained clearly here:
Mint State(65-70)
This means – more prosaically – that the coin is brand new and free from defects, thus in the state it left the mint. It has probably never been in circulation or seen the bottom of a pocket up close. The term "fleur de coin" is also used internationally to refer to the first coins struck with a new die. By extension, this term thus also now describes "perfect" coins not displaying any defects and retaining their full original luster.

I was just waking up checking my chat channels to see what was up, make sure there wasn't any problems or anything I needed to deal with, and to set my nick as away instead of asleep, that was when I found a nice snippet from Kami a post from CAD. Its a great comic and I've read it for years, but as quickly found out he has a nice rant on their that I firstly agree with and also find remarkably funny. He also has a good idea
I'd like to announce that I just signed a multi-million dollar contract with a private firm to open the first of many CAD Hotels…The rooms won't contain a bed, a bathroom, or those stupid little desks that nobody uses. Instead, one entire wall will be comprised of a projection video screen, and all of the latest games will be available for play for only $2.95 a minute.
Only if :D! Even if you don't follow the comics, you should be able to relate with the rant anyway, oh the attached comic can be found here.

Live Patching superhero doesn't reboot from Stack Clash
If you were staying up late to patch your servers when the Stack Clash vulnerability recently showed up then you are not alone. However, you could join the select club of super savvy admin superheroes who didn't have to shut down systems to patch Stack Clash.
Stack Clash can be patched without bringing down your SUSE Linux systems using SUSE's Live Patching.
SUSE Linux users can live patch Stack Clash for FREE.
Every time a new security vulnerability is revealed, the planning to mitigate the impact starts immediately. As a systems administrator you are very familiar with the mitigation drill. Scan all systems for the security vulnerability, see which ones you need to patch, start prioritizing which ones to patch first, etc.
You can reduce the number of planning activities by avoiding the need to shut down your Linux systems. You will save both time and resources. One less thing to do, means a lot at crunch time, especially when the unexpected workload shows up due to a new Linux kernel vulnerability at the IT team's door.
Now, let's take a quick look at the Stack Cash vulnerability.
The Stack Clash vulnerability exploits a weakness in the address space model of operating systems such as Linux, OpenBSD etc. Here is the excerpt from the SUSE security advisory released immediately following the news about the vulnerability.
"The programs in operating systems use a stack for storing variables and return addresses used in functions. The stack grows depending on the amount of variables used and the depth of the called function tree. The growth direction is also special, on most platforms it grows downwards.
As the stack shares the same address space with the regular program, heap and libraries and other program memory regions, care needs to be taken that the automatically growing stack does not collide with other memory regions.
For this issue, some years ago a "stack guard gap" page of 4KB was introduced, that is also used for the automatically growing stack if a stack memory access goes into the guard page.
The security research company, Qualys, has identified that in some libraries and programs under specific conditions the stack pointer can "jump over" this 4KB stack guard page and proceed below it or even overwrite memory areas positioned there.
This can happen with large arrays on the stack over 4KB which are accessed only in some places, or by programs using the alloca() function to get stack memory, which is also not accessed fully.
This grown stack could then be made to "smash/clash" into other memory areas, containing code, data, function pointers or similar and which in turn could be used to execute code.
Note that these problems are not bugs in the programs, libraries or the kernel themselves, but caused by vague interpretation of the stack grow magic ABI between the compiler and kernel."
Here is the download link for SUSE Linux Enterprise Live Patching. Once you have downloaded SUSE Linux Enterprise Live Patching, you can proceed to patch your SUSE Linux systems, and experience firsthand the joy of not having to reboot the systems and relish being a Live Patching superhero!
Note: SUSE Linux Enterprise Live Patching is supported for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 and above.
To keep you organized, here are a few helpful links:

It was on the night before His crucifixion that Jesus left the upper room and walked across the valley to the Garden of Gethsemane. It was on the Mount of Olives. What, at other times had been a place for a meaningful talk, or a spiritual respite, became a battle ground that night.
Jesus went there to pray. But this wouldn't be an ordinary prayer session with His Dad in heaven. It would be a wrestling match. And he knew the disciples needed to stay engaged.
Matthew 26:41-47 Jesus said, "Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, " My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done." And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again. Then he came to the disciples and said to them, " Sleep and take your rest later on. See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."
Jesus knew what the night would hold. Everyone had to be ready. This was going to be hard on Jesus, but he knew it would also be hard on his followers. Satan was going to unleash all his ugliness and Jesus would be the target. The Father had a plan that included the defeat and death of his own Son. In this setting, Jesus gave instruction to His disciples. He knew their condition and he knows ours. Human spirits are willing but the flesh is weak, he said. After all, at our best, we are made of dust. How we handle our weakness is where the battle is won or lost.
Jesus said, "Watch." Be awake. Be aware. This world is a spiritual battlefield. The battle was fought that night, but it is also fought every time we are tempted to walk away from the will of God. We think sin is our idea. We think rebellion is personal. It isn't. It is part of the warfare of the spirit-universe. We have to watch. See the reality of God's world. It is made of flesh and spirit. It is made of material and immaterial. It is made of temporal and eternal. Watch.
Jesus also said, "Pray." Prayer is expressed dependence on God. Jesus knew His disciples wouldn't make it through this on their own. And Peter didn't. They needed the power and presence of God with them. Their protection would have to come from Him. We cannot battle the unseen alone. We cannot fight the principalities and authorities with human flesh. We need the Spirit of God. And the Spirit comes in answer to prayer.
Whatever you're facing this Holy Week. Watch and Pray. Watch for the spiritual realities of what you're up against. Pray. Really pray. Cry out to God for His help and strength. And the promise is, just like Jesus, the victory will be yours because of Him.

People that fail to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk should face DUI level consequences.
When a house close by explodes, burning the neighbor houses too, and you have to stand around wondering if yours is gonna burn too.l - that's annoying.
Haven't been evacuated yet but standing by and ready. Essentials loaded...
It's also kind of annoying that all the neighbors bailed immediately, even before any voluntary evac, so they can't make any effort to help defend their own houses. I'm running around with hoses, a bucket, and a shovel. Embers are annoying.

I have to do the, finest TGR tradition of post first, then deal with emergency...
Any particular reason the neighbor's house exploded? Good luck.
So many people who just leave literal piles of shit and t.p.
Also those asshole grouse who lie in wait to scare the living fuck outta me when I'm really stoned and crawling through bear tunnels in the willows. It kinda annoys me too that I still get stoned and feel like crawling through bear tunnels in some of the thickest griz country in the lower 48 sounds like a good idea...

I don't think I'd put a lot of effort into defending the neighbors' houses. Just me. But hey.
Fire is contained, they're mopping up. Pics are of small spot fires about 1/8 mile away, two houses over from me - at the end of the shared road leading to my house. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6867b64dff.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1b94b0c381.jpg

Neighbors getting divorced, by any chance?
HOT TIP: when you do start to water it or it rains again/whatever, there will be some spots where the grass just doesn't seem to want to come back to life. I bet the problem is for some reason the soil has become hydrophobic, and water is just running off the surface to the area around it (which will get green, quick). Solution is to put some baby shampoo in a sprayer and soak the spot with it. It'll get nice and bubbly. Then go back to just straight water and rinse it all away. Take a soil sample (with an aerator or just test with a screwdriver even) and you'll see that now water is getting down to the roots and in a few days it'll look much better. Worst case you are just adding more water to your grass, so it can't hurt.
People that waste tons of water in a drought-ridden West just so they have green lawns annoy me.

Doctor, Pray For Me?
Manoj Jain, a doctor and follower of the Jain religion, writes in The Washington Post about the connection between spirituality and medicine, particularly the act of prayer in a hospital setting. While he is uneasy about actually praying with patients, he cannot deny the power of prayer, spirituality and meditation in the wake of health problems.
Jain cites a few studies that show a possible connection: one that showed higher immune response in a group of workers who meditated and another study showing a direct correlation between high amounts of religious participation, Bible study and church-going, and low blood pressure.
It isn't only a few obscure studies that are making the spirituality/medicine argument, however; 75% of all medical schools now have courses connecting the two. While the jury is still out on how much doctors should be involved in their patients' religious or spiritual beliefs, there is no doubting that these beliefs help most patients through the difficult times. Even though Jain is not a believer in the religions of most of his patients, he encourages them to continue seeking solace in the spiritual.
Would you be impressed or insulted if your doctor discussed spirituality with you? [The Washington Post]

About Avanda
Avanda got its name when Timm, the owner, was inspired by the beauty of Vanda Orchids. We are a small neighborhood flower shop tucked in the heart of center city Philadelphia on the south side of Rittenhouse Square (next door to the Metropolitan Bakery). Timm and her late husband, Chet, first opened Avanda's doors on Valentine's Day in 1991. For two decades, Avanda has been a fundamental part of the neighborhood and remains dedicated to providing quality products and services to its customers.
Avanda has won several awards since our opening. We were voted the Best Florist in Philadelphia Magazine's Best of Philly two years in row in 2000 and 2001. More recently, we also won the Best Florist in 2008's Best of City Search Top 10.
