Mailboxes Ideas Landscaping
The mailbox area of the yard is usually an afterthought when a new homeowner or home-seller is thinking about how to improve their curb appeal. But make no mistake: First impressions of a house always start at the street and if the mailbox area is an eyesore, that can create a very negative first encounter.
The easiest way to combat this is to enhance the mailbox area with some simple landscaping that can transform the space into an easy to maintain garden or a visual accent that compliments and connects with the overall landscape design.
Before you settle on a landscape concept, you need to critically appraise your current mailbox. If it's broken, repair it or replace it with a new one. Janine Callahan, owner and lead designer for Showhomes, says, "One of the main things people need to know when they are installing a mailbox is they need to make sure they are within the parameters of their postal system per the height and the distance from the curb. The last thing you want to do is have someone install a mailbox and then have to take it out because the variance was incorrect."
If you opt to keep your current mailbox, you can spruce it up with a good cleaning or repainting. Homeowners who have a well-maintained brick or stone encased mailbox and prefer a neat, minimalist approach may not want to do anything with this area, especially if their homes are composed of brick or stone. "To have that kind of continuity between the house and the curb really does not need a lot of additions, " notes Callahan. But for those with traditional wooden or metal post mailboxes, a small garden around the base always adds curb appeal.
Keep in mind that whatever you plant in your mailbox garden needs to be hardy since this area of the yard is often subjected to people walking their dogs, storm-water runoff, street salt from winter snow, traffic fumes and other less garden-friendly factors. At the same time, you don't want to plant something sharp and spiky, like a yucca that could injure someone (like your mail carrier) or scratch car surfaces.
Flowering climbing vines can be an ideal natural decoration for the mailbox and Callahan singles out clematis as a favorite choice because it is a "super simple, easy bang-for-your-buck. The only issue is if they do well in that spot, they will require a little bit of maintenance because they grow quickly and you do need to tie them up so they don't cover the mailbox." 'Albina Plena', 'Blue Dancer' and 'Pink Flamingo' are all good examples of winter-hardy, disease-resistant clematis.
Depending on the climate zone where you live, here are some other suggestions for flowering vines:
Callahan recommends petunias "around the mailbox base if you want that constant pop of color." Some homeowners might do a single annual color scheme for their mailbox garden, as with petunias which can make quite a pleasing visual impact in a mass planting. Other hardy, colorful annuals to consider are marigolds, vinca, portulaca, coleus and zinnias.
The beauty of perennials, of course, is that they come back seasonally and require less maintenance than annual plantings. Callahan, who resides in the Chicago area, suggests lamb's ear (Stachys byzantine), a dense, low-growing, drought-resistant plant with white, woolly foliage.
"A good one that is green and variegated is lilyturf, " she states. "Another favorite is called threadleaf coreopsis and it is bright yellow. That's particularly pretty with a combination of a salvia, so you'd have the purple with the bright yellow."
Other perennials that would thrive in a mailbox garden are asters, sedum, purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) and daylilies. Some homeowners lavish extra care on this area and the result is a mailbox garden that changes with the seasons. "You can take that bed and do seasonal color, " Callahan advises. "You could plant spring bulbs and then you could move into the salvia and coreopsis and you could also plant some sedum like 'Autumn Joy' which has the fall color."
Another alternative to annuals and perennials that still provides color, texture and movement is ornamental grass. There are many varieties available that would work well in a curb setting and you can try a mix of varieties. You could even mix annuals, perennials and grasses together. Some of the more hardy and popular ornamental grasses are red fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum), pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and pink muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) with its lovely cotton candy-pink plumes.
If you want to go with the lowest maintenance plan possible with your mailbox area, why not forget plants and grass altogether and just landscape the area with a small rock garden of assorted pebbles, stones and gravel? It would still provide a more pleasing visual presentation than the sight of a solo mailbox anchored in the bare ground or concrete.

Town Board unanimously votes down proposed change to Q&E requirements
All five Riverhead Town Board members voted no Tuesday on a resolution to change the requirements in the town's qualified and eligible sponsor regulations regarding the submittal of financial information, but their reasons for doing so varied.
The proposal stems from the town's proposed sale of 1,640-acres at the Enterprise Park at Calverton to Calverton Aviation & Technology, a group headed by Triple Five Group.
Supervisor Laura Jens-Smith and Councilwoman Catherine Kent, both Democrats, had submitted the proposal to force their Republican counterparts to formally vote by resolution if they wanted to lessen the requirement that companies seeking Q&E status show they have the financial wherewithal to buy and develop land at Urban Renewal sites like EPCAL. Ms. Jens-Smith and Ms. Kent both opposed the proposal.
"The reason this resolution is here is because board members expressed that they're not interested in seeing the financial documents," Ms. Jens-Smith said.
Richard Amper, the executive director of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, also weighed in at Tuesday's Town Board meeting.
"It's completely incomprehensible why you would want anything less than the maximum amount of information that you can get to make the best informed decision," he said. "This is the most significant decision that you folks will ever make."
Republican council members Jodi Giglio, Jim Wooten and Tim Hubbard also voted no — for different reasons.
"This is not wise to change the rules in the middle of the game," Ms. Giglio said.
The proposed resolution changes the rules for any groups seeking a future Q&E designation, including publicly traded companies, where such information would be available, she said.
Mr. Hubbard had previously said the resolution was an attempt to stall the proposed $40 million at EPCAL.
Mr. Wooten said "resolutions should have some sort of consensus on the board before they be introduced."
At a recent Town Board work session, town finance administrator Bill Rothaar said that CAT hadn't submitted any of the financial information the town requested. But he added that the town has approved Q&E status in the past to companies that did not submit financial information.
Ms. Jens-Smith proposed a resolution to change the portion of the Q&E law to say that an applicant "may but does not have to include" the financial information currently required.
This includes a "pro forma financial statements for the proposed project, including sources and uses of funds, certified personal and corporate financial statements of the applicant sponsor, financial commitments of participating lenders, proposed security for the project, business plans and economic analysis of the project and past compliance with municipal laws, rules and regulations," as the law currently states.
Triple Five Group is a privately-owned company and is not required to submit public Securities and Exchange financial statements like a publicly traded company would. Triple Five has stated it would not submit those financial documents, but submitted other information they say shows they are qualified, including a letter from accounting firm Grant Thornton saying Triple Five has "in excess of $40 million for use in connection with the purchase" of EPCAL.
Ms. Jens-Smith said the $40 million sale price doesn't cover the cost of sewer and water district upgrades and the minimum $1 million infrastructure improvements that's required in the agreement of sale.

UPDATE 2-Kenya's Centum to start building coal power plant in Dec
Source: Reuters
A consortium including Centum will start building a 1,000 megawatt coal-fired power plant in Kenya next month, the investment firm said on Wednesday as it reported a 75 percent jump in first-half pretax profit.
Centum is the biggest investment company on the Nairobi bourse with interests in real estate projects, listed firms, private equity and electricity generating plants, among others.
Chief Executive James Mworia said the consortium, known as Amu Power, expected to finalise debt financing agreements for the project with China's ICBC and South Africa's Standard Bank by early 2016.
"We have the construction contract more or less finalised. They are ready to roll. We expect to begin work on site in December, and we expect the contractor to move in from January," Joe Mutugu, chief financial officer at Amu Power, said.
The power plant is being built in Kenya's Lamu region, a coastal area near Somalia that has been hit several times by al Shabaab Islamist militants.
Centum posted a 8.6 percent jump in net asset value (NAV) per share to 52.1 shillings ($0.5098) in its first half ended September, outperforming the Nairobi Securities Exchange's main NSE-20 Share Index, which was down 20 percent.
"It is not exceptional but growing that much in a market where there are challenges is not a bad outcome," Standard Investment Bank research analyst Eric Musau said.
Its shares, which are trading at a 20 percent discount to the net asset value, jumped 8 percent after the results to 44 shillings.
"We are still looking at the numbers but it certainly looks like a decent proposition," said Musau.
Pretax profit for the six months soared 75 percent to 2.246 billion shillings ($22 million), helped by a jump in interest income from its cash deposits.
Interest rates in Kenya surged after the central bank embarked on a tightening cycle in June. Centum said it increased its allocation of cash and fixed income to 68 percent of its marketable securities portfolio from 20 percent in March.
It cut its exposure to equities to a quarter from 70 percent in March, Mworia said.
Like other frontier assets, Kenyan shares have been pummelled this year by a flight to safety by investors worried about a potential rate rise in the United States.
Centum's interest income climbed to 1.350 billion shillings from 83 million during the period. Total income surged to 8.384 billion shillings from 1.897 billion, said Risper Mukoto, managing director of Centum Capital, a division of the firm.

USA Triathlon Foundation Partners with The Vice Wine, Makers of "The Tri Blend"
April 21, 2020
Proceeds from luxury limited edition batch will benefit the Foundation's mission
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— The USA Triathlon Foundation today announced a partnership with The Vice Wine, a luxury winery based in Napa Valley, California, and operating out of California and New York, through 2022.
Proceeds from The Vice Wine's triathlon-inspired luxury limited edition batch The Tri Blend will benefit the USA Triathlon Foundation and help to support its mission, which is to transform lives through sport by providing opportunities to swim, bike and run. The Vice Wine is co-founded by Malek Amrani, a multi-year member of USA Triathlon's amateur Team USA, and his wife, Torie Greenberg.
"Pursuing a partnership with The Vice Wine is a unique opportunity for the USA Triathlon Foundation," said David Deschenes, Executive Director of the USA Triathlon Foundation. "We're able to provide our athletes with a high-quality, one-of-a-kind product, while also offering a unique way to give back to the sport by supporting the mission of the foundation."
"Elite and amateur triathletes alike have an ongoing quest for improvement in sports, while maintaining a clean and healthy diet, which is a pillar of the triathlete lifestyle," Amrani, Founder and Winemaker of The Vice Wine, said. "In 2017, triathlon became a healthy vice for me and helped me tremendously thrive in my field of winemaking. I'm proud that the simple pleasure of enjoying a glass of The Vice Wine can now help the USA Triathlon Foundation achieve its mission."
The Tri Blend is available exclusively at The Vice Wine's online shop at thevicewine.com. Based on triathlon's three disciplines, the blend includes three distinctive grapes and is ultimately comprised of 16 percent Petite Sirah, 54 percent Malbec and 30 percent Cabernet Franc. The inspiration behind the precise blending is the percentage of total race time spent on each discipline — swim, bike and run — by world champion Katie Zaferes en route to her victory at the 2019 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final in Lausanne, Switzerland.
"In triathlon, you have to consistently train for a long season and excel at all three sports during a race to score a victory," Amrani said. "As in triathlon, I've worked very hard for the past three years to craft three unique wines from three vineyards of Napa Valley to blend this winner."
"When I found out the inspiration behind The Vice 'Tri Blend' was my win at the ITU Grand Final 2019, I was both honored and excited," Zaferes said. "It's such an original and neat way to celebrate that day. I love that the blend of the wine is based on each component of the race, which really makes it all the more meaningful. This type of specialty wine has me looking forward to both savoring it and holding onto it just as I wanted to do with that moment in Lausanne last year. I just can't wait for the moment when we can reunite with family and friends again and celebrate with such a meaningful wine that brings back many happy memories as we start a new journey to get back to racing, while being able to support the mission of the USA Triathlon Foundation."
The Vice Wine will continuously craft dedicated batches for the triathlon community in support of the USA Triathlon Foundation. The Vice Wine will be available in the expo area for athletes over 21 years of age* at the Legacy Triathlon in Long Beach, California, and the Toyota USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships in Milwaukee. USA Triathlon annual members may use the code USAT25 to receive 25 percent off of all The Vice Wine products through May 30, and The Vice Wine will communicate additional member-exclusive offers throughout the year.
*Note: Advertising for The Vice Wine will not be included in materials or content targeted to USA Triathlon's youth or under-21 audience.
The Vice Wine is a result of passionate labor, sustainable farming, a long expertise of the wine industry and a current understanding of the consumer's wine trend.The luxury brand sources small-batch, single-grape varietals from hand-selected vineyards in Napa Valley. The wines contain no added chemicals, are low in sulfites and are certified vegan. The Vice Wines have received ratings of 90+ points in leading publications such as Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling.

FDNY Announces Plans to Launch Online Portal
By Penny Laughlin
On Monday, April 23, 2018, the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) announced its plans to implement a new online portal for business services.
Similar to the online platform for the Department of Buildings (DOB), DOB NOW, the FDNY system will provide many services online, at users' convenience. Planned functionality includes the following:
- Application filing
- Violation correction
- Inspection scheduling
- Fee payment
The new system will facilitate communication throughout the different FDNY divisions. In addition, the platform will foster transparency between FDNY and its constituents.
FDNY inspectors, like their DOB counterparts, will have mobile devices that allow them to access approved plans when on-site and to take photos of infractions.
The soft launch for the FDNY system is scheduled for late summer 2018. The organization is planning a two-year implementation schedule, at which time all features will be fully functional.

More importantly, this case offers insights into the interaction between North American and Latin American professionals. The story is based on actual interviews that were conducted with employees of the company in Santiago, Chile; however, the names of the people and the company have been modifi ed. In order to analyze the various cultural issues, the contents of the case are reviewed using three different models of business communication: Victor's LESCANT model; Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions; and Hampden-Turner and Trompenaars's Cultural Dilemmas. Finally, this article also looks at analysis and comments that university students have made as they review the content of the case study. The pedagogical implication is that students are better able to analyze and interpret the cultural aspects of a case scenario when they have access to some model or framework to work from.

Most mussar sefarim are very oriented towards men, with lessons on things such as how to treat your wife, the dangers of pursuing women, or the importance of learning. Also, many sefarim I've seen written for women are very generic and watered down hashkafa sefarim, lacking originality or deep insight. What is a good, intelligent, well-written mussar sefer with female perspective?
3AFAICT ibn Pequda's Chovot HalLevavot isn't genderized, but, although it's sold in the "mussar" section of bookstores, it's more of a philosophical work IMO. Mar 25, 2012 at 15:06
tziporahheller.com Rebbetzen Heller has online classes in Chovot HaLevavot and has written several english language books that might interest you. Mar 25, 2012 at 15:50

My wife speaks extremely highly of Chochmat Nashim by R' Shalom Arush shlita, which is translated in to English by R' Lazer Brody shlita. It focuses on marriage and married life, but covers the full spectrum of a woman's role and responsibilities.
The book is called "Women's Wisdom" in English. I came here to recommend the sefer because I have heard from several ladies that it is good, but you already put it here...a long time ago.– ezraJan 30, 2017 at 23:10
For English readers there is one from Rabbi Shimshon Pincus who wrote a Mussar Sefer for woman called Nefesh Chaya.
For Hebrew readers there is a Sefer Chukei HaNoshim written by the Ben Ish Chai which is a Mussar Sefer geared specifically to women.
For Yiddish readers there is a Sefer Mainekes Rivka which was written by Rivka Tiktiner in in the late 16th century. This is available by contacting [email protected]
Chovos Halevavos. There's a new digital translation in the making, available online at http://dafyomireview.com/article.php?docid=384

(An anonymous user suggested seeing shaar bitachon there. I have not seen it inside, so I can't vouch for it, and with no other information provided I'm deleting it from the answer and moving it to a comment.)– Seth JAug 30, 2012 at 13:37
it looks good to me (shaar bitachon). also has some excerpts from the classic commentators on the book– rayJan 25, 2013 at 6:00
Outside of the Ashkenazi world, Chakham Yosef Chayyim (the Ben Ish Chai) wrote a beautiful personal growth manual for women, and one that is often studied by men as well. He wrote it in Judeo-Arabic, and called it Qânûn-un-Nisâ'. It has since been translated into Hebrew, as חוקי הנשים, and into English, as Laws For Women. The English translation has been done by Rabbi Moshe Schapiro.
Meneket Rivkah was written in Yiddish by a woman, Rivka Bat Meir Tiktiner, in the 1500s and likewise translated by a woman into English in the 2009, more info here: https://www.mussar.center/books/classic#h.dy0hg7ld91ok
Some believe Orchot Tzadikim was written by a woman: https://www.mussar.center/books/popular#h.zdiv4xhkinh9
There are several Mussar books written by women in this list of modern Mussar works too: https://www.mussar.center/books/modern

These brief codes are an attempt to suggest whether or not a particular plant will do well in your particular conditions.
If an entry has the cluster HP CGH, this means normal house plant culture will be successful if the plant is given a cool CGH moist location; however if the entry has the cluster CGH HP, you would interpret this to suggest that while Cool Greenhouse conditions are needed for total success with this plant, House Plant conditions will be adequate, while not ideal. If the cluster is HH CGH you would interpret this to mean that while in Zone 8 or below this will be winter hardy outdoor, further north it will need considerable mulch, a cold frame, or a Cool Greenhouse to thrive.

Him & his brother stuck together and found vice + escape in music. They're actually a part of the Big E Brass Band, One plays the tuba & one plays the trumpet. That influences my music a lot. He's been recording & perfecting his craft for about two years now even though he's been writing since he was like 10. This project is definitely different but it's interesting. My favorite joint is "Lost". He's definitely getting his message out. Pr1de has a little EP that'll be out soon with some remixes. His first full length project "Lost and Found" is out now.

With that in mind I decided to take a look at the Cardinals and Astros drafts from 2008-2011, which is the time frame in which Ed Wade became GM, and the draft started to become relevant again for the Astros. Since very few of these players drafted during this time period have made it to the majors, and the ones that have made it don't have a large enough sample size to determine what type of player they will be, I focused on the types of players drafted along with minor league career stats. This includes comparing college players and high school players, position players and pitchers, and how many of each category were signed by both teams, in addition to looking at minor league performance for rounds 1-10 from 2008-2010.
The first chart below shows the Astros and Cardinals Draft Distribution for 2008-2011, and the second chart shows the amount of money each team spent on the draft for the same time frame per Baseball America:
• The Cardinals had a much higher success rate at signing their draft picks than the Astros did. In 2008 the Cardinals signed 82.35% versus the Astros 61.54%, 86% versus 72.92% in 2009, 84.62% versus 67.31% in 2010, and both teams signed 70% of their draft picks in 2011. The Cardinals signed more players than the Astros did while spending less on the draft as a whole each year except for 2009. Over the four year period the Cardinals spent a total of $22,176,700 on the draft while the Astros spent $23,578,630.
• The Cardinals drafted a greater number of college players than the Astros did, while the Astros drafted a higher number of high school players. Both teams drafted close to the same amount of pitchers and position players each year.
• The Astros continued to draft a higher number of high school players than the Cardinals in every draft except for 2011, while the Cardinals draft heavily favored College players in the first ten rounds. The Cardinals signed every player drafted in the first ten rounds for all four drafts, while the Astros were only unable to sign two (Chase Davidson 2008, Adam Plutko 2010) in the first ten rounds.
As far as actual minor league performance is concerned the Cardinals draftees in the first ten rounds have outperformed the Astros.
Below is a look at the average batting averages, on-base percentages, and slugging percentages for the drafts 2008-2010. 2011 is not included since the players drafted did not have a full season in the minors.
Cardinals 2008: AVG - .271, OBP - .364, SLG - .423
Astros 2008: AVG - .268, OBP - .336, SLG - .396
Cardinals 2009: AVG - .254, OBP - .330, SLG - .400
Astros 2009: AVG - .262, OBP - .343, SLG - .374
Cardinals 2010: AVG - .273, OBP - .349, SLG - .402
Astros 2010: AVG - .252, OBP - .321, SLG - .370
The Astros 2009 top ten picks outperformed the Cardinals in both batting average and on-base percentage, but not slugging. Other than that draft class, the Cardinals have outperformed the Astros in every category.
The pitchers were a little harder to compare the same way due to the fact that some of the pitchers have selected in these rounds have a very small sample size, especially in the 2009 and 2010 drafts, but below is the comparison between the Cardinals and Astros pitchers.
Cardinals 2008: ERA - 3.92, H/9 - 8.8, BB/9 - 3.5, K/9 - 7
Astros 2008: ERA - 4.98, H/9 - 9.8, BB/9 - 3.7, K/9 - 7
Cardinals 2009: ERA - 4.76, H/9 - 8.5, BB/9 - 5.1, K/9 - 9.3
Astros 2009: ERA - 5.99, H/9 - 10.7, BB/9 - 4.2, K/9 - 6.9
Cardinals 2010: ERA - 3.46, H/9 - 8.2, BB/9 - 3.5, K/9 - 8.3
Astros 2010: ERA - 3.99, H/9 - 8.9, BB/9 - 2.8, K/9 - 7.9
The Cardinals pitchers drafted from 2008-2010 outperformed the Astros in every category except for walks.
To wrap things up, Astros fans could see a difference in approach in terms of the draft going forward depending on big of a role Luhnow played in the Cardinals drafting strategies. Since Ed Wade and Bobby Heck has been at the helm we have heard a lot about projection and potential, but so far that hasn't translated into actual stats. It would be a nice change of pace to see performance matching expectations.

How To Prevent Water Spots When Washing Your Car
If you detail your car at home with a weekly wash, wax, and vacuum job, then you may be disappointed to find that your hard work sometimes ends with the appearance of water spots on the exterior of your vehicle. While the spots are highly unlikely to cause damage to your vehicle, they are unsightly. This is especially true if you are serious about the aesthetic appearance of your car. Thankfully, water spots can be avoided, and the following tips can help.
Dry Your Car Completely
Water spots on your vehicle are caused by the deposit of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals that are located in your hard water. Basically, as the water drops on your car evaporates, the minerals are left behind. This means that one of the simplest ways to avoid the appearance of water spots is to make sure your car is dried completely after a wash. While natural cotton and fleece cloths are both soft and absorbent, they are likely to transfer water back on to your car once the materials are saturated. To avoid this problem, purchase large microfiber cloths to dry your car instead.
Microfiber is a synthetic material created out of extremely fine strands of polyester. The strands or threads are about one-fifth the width of a human hair and even finer than a strand of silk. When these fine strands are woven together, they create small pockets that trap moisture. This keeps the moisture from depositing back on your vehicle. Wipe your car with your cloth and wring the cloth over a bucket to release water as it becomes saturated.
Add A Water Filter
Since water spots form due to the appearance of hard mineral materials, you can keep water spots at bay by removing the minerals from your water before washing your car. This does not mean that you need to get a whole-house water softener system though. You can simply purchase an in-line water conditioner that attaches to the end of your hose. These devices are typically salt-free deionization canisters that contain filters with a resin-based material. This resin attracts calcium, magnesium, and metal ions and replaces them with hydrogen ions. This leaves behind a pure form of water with no contaminants.
While this filter works in a similar manner as home water softening system, it does not replace contaminant ions with sodium ions like residential units. This helps to keep salt residue off your car that can cause rusting concerns.
For more help keeping your car looking fresh and new, contact local car detail professionals like Deluxe Detail & Window Tint.

The Discovery Developers Competition was an international contest we held In partnership with DevCSI in the summer of 2011.
The competition was looking for entries with the potential to improve the utility of libraries, archives and museums for their users. Entries were required to make use of one or more of ten listed data sources and the judges applied four broad criteria:
The four judges (from JISC, DevCSI and the Discovery team) were unable to separate the leading entries and therefore we have three very different joint winners.
Andy McGregor of JISC commented, 'All the judges were enthused by the range, the imagination and the practical potential every one of the short listed entries. These exemplars offer a very tangible encouragement to institutions considering the business case for opening up and licensing their library, archival and museum metadata. Furthermore, whilst the judging criteria focused on the user experience, we also recognized the institutional value of entries falling outside the awards that focused on data processing and associated visualization.'
The Award Winners
Further details of each short listed entry are provided below this announcement.
The three joint winners were
The special award for 'data munging' went to Owen Stephens for Composed
Awards were also made for commended uses of each dataset. Eight of the ten listed licensed open data sources were used as well as other resources including Copac and DBpedia. The winners were:

Getting Jiggy With ASP.NET On Rails
Update: Rob renamed his project to Subsonic.
Rob Conery just released ASP.NET ActionPack 1.0.1 on his blog today. This project is definitely one to watch! He is essentially taking some of the principles of developing web apps with Ruby on Rails and porting those ideas to ASP.NET. Just watch this great screencast to get a taste of the progress he has made in a short time.
So far I am very impressed with this guy. Yesterday evening I sent the link to the screencast to Jon Galloway who then wondered why he was using strings for table names. I told him to quit bothering me about it and post something in the Codeplex forum. But Jon, being the simultaneous type of guy he is, had already posted a comment on Rob's blog before I could finish my sentence. This all happened last night. This morning I notice the sixth bullet point in Rob's announcement states that he added struct in classes for column names. Apparently he had received the comment, made the change, and sent a reply to Jon in two hours.
Now that is a quick turnaround and good customer service! ;)
Not only that, but this guy lives in Kuaui, Hawaii! I don't know how he gets anything done unless it's the rainy season right now. Subtext would definitely languish if I lived in Kuaui.

- Description
- Durability
The Raystown Lizard Map will help you plan all your adventures on and around Raystown Lake. In addition to boasting one of the most action-packed recreational lakes in the region, Raystown has one of the best mountain bike trail systems in North America.
A beautifully designed, easy to read topographic map featuring contour lines, elevation data, shaded relief, lake depths, lake navigation markers, and all the key details you need to plan your adventures: backroads and trails, trail use designations, road surfaces (paved/gravel/4wd), parking access, campsites, public lands, historic sites and more.
"I love my map! Quality is much higher than could ever be conveyed in words. Keep it up! "- Matthew in Pennsylvania
Lizard Maps are durable, waterproof, and give you the big picture – the map opens to 24" x 36" and folds easily to 4" x 8" to fit in your back pocket. The Raystown Lizard Map covers all of Raystown Lake on one side, the scale is 1:45,135 (1 inch = 0.7 mile). A detailed map of the Allegrippis Trail System and Trough Creek State Park is on the other side, the scale is 1:22,588 (1 inch = 0.4 mile). Includes both lat./lon. and UTM coordinate systems.
Public lands: include the entire 30-mile length of Raystown Lake from Huntingdon to Saxton, PA, which is owned and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and a section of Rothrock State Forest and Trough Creek State Park on the eastern side of Raystown Lake, Warriors Path and canoe Creek State Parks and parts of State Game Lands 67, 73, 99, 118, 322.
Destinations: include multiple access areas on Raystown Lake and the Seven Points Recreation Area, the Raystown Lake Visitors Center, several scenic vistas and the Allegrippis Mountain Bike Trails.
Roads: all Lizard Maps show which roads are paved, dirt/gravel or 4wd roads as well as which are gated. Perfect for bicyclists, dual sport riders and overlanders looking to put together a remote backcountry route across public lands.
Major hiking trails: include a section of the 323-mile Mid State Trail (MST) shown from the Lower Rail Trail just south of Water Street, PA, to Williamsburg, PA, and continues south on the ridgeline of Tussey Mountain on the western side of Raystown Lake. The map ends just after the MST crosses PA Route 165. On the eastern side of Raystown Lake, the Terrace Mountain Trail follows the entire lake and has one shelter located north of Trough Creek SP.
Major biking trails: are all about the Allegrippis Mountain Bike Trail System; a favorite destination for cyclists around the country. Dirt Rag magazine holds its annual Dirt Fest event here every spring. This 33-mile network of specially built mountain bike flow trails is considered one of the best riding experiences in the country. A mountain bike skills park is located by the Visitor Center and offers beginner through expert riding opportunities.
Even more trails: Lizard Maps highlight and designate public trails and paths including hiking, biking and rail trails managed by federal, state and local authorities. Juniata College in Huntingdon has a network of walking paths and hiking trails around an environmental art installation by Maya Lin. In Rothrock SF, the trails of Trough Creek State Park are spectacular.
Points of interest: campgrounds, picnic areas, climbing areas, reservable car camping sites, scenic overlooks and lizard spots.
Special Designated Areas: Seven Points Recreation Area offers multiple camping areas, a marina, rental boats, swimming beach, walking paths and picnic areas. Ridenour and Hawn's Overlooks are easy to access and offer fantastic views of the lake. Trough Creek State Park features a historic balanced rock and ice mine.
Towns: of Alexandria, Broad Top City, Huntingdon, Saxton, Saltillo and Williamsburg, PA.
Lizards: The little purple Lizards you'll find scattered on the map signify an interesting spot to check out. The Legend says " This Could Mean Anything: cool place, sweet view, local legend".

..that should be my new title.
Because I swear all that I have done this morning is feed children.
And wipe snotty noses.
And try and convince my darling 3 year old that there are no monsters and "no I can't kill them because they are not real"
She doesn't believe me.
At all.
Utterly panicked with a tear stained face she begged me to "kill the monster"
Where she picked up "kill" is a little beyond me.
Kind of disturbing none the less but more disheartening that it took almost a half hour to calm her down.
You would never know now that she had such a fear filled morning.
She is happily playing upstairs..after 3 bowls of cheerios.
The kid must have a hollow leg or something..or is going into another growth spurt.
Funny, I just weeded out her clothing drawer and it looks like I might be doing that again soon...

It's not news that the seemingly never-ending stream of new and disruptive technologies is affecting every aspect of society. When innovative, appealing and easy-to-use technologies come on to the market, the tech sugar hit craving kicks in for most and many individuals adopt new consumer technology almost without hesitation.
But the perfect storm of the individual's love affair with new technology and your organization's privacy and confidentiality position can leave CFOs and CEOs exposed to some serious risks. Case in point: Google Glass.
The imminent global launch of Google Glass has already raised questions about how the gadget could run roughshod over both individual privacy and corporate confidentiality. The glasses can provide GPS, make phone calls, search the Web, send texts, and take photos and video. It is the last two of those capabilities that have raised eyebrows among privacy regulators who are worried Google Glass wearers will intentionally or accidentally record video and audio conversations without the consent of those being recorded.
In a recent bipartisan letter to Google CEO Larry Page, the U.S. Congress demanded answers to a range of questions about security and privacy, to which Google must reply by June 14.
The invasion of consumer technology is not a new phenomenon. For instance, much has been made of the employee Bring-Your-Own-Device trend, where organizations are still coming to grips with the appropriate policy settings in allowing individuals to use their own smartphones and tablets for company purposes. Google Glass adds another dimension to this discussion.
Furthermore, Google Glass and other technology like it, has the potential to disrupt and undermine the organization's control over surveillance. No longer the domain of your IT department, who is accountable for the policy-setting and governance of personally-owned consumer technology like Google Glass? This question should be asked within your organization.
At the same time, the benefit of technologies that allow people to do things their parents could never imagine possible can't be ignored. A recent National Intelligence Council report, Global Trends 2030 – Alternative Worlds, identified individual empowerment as the No. 1 megatrend over the next 15 to 25 years. A combination of the progressive reduction in global poverty, increasing levels of education and the continued uptake of information and communications technology is expected to reshape how societies and countries operate.
One glaring example of what this could mean was seen in the role engaged and connected digital citizens recently played in helping track down the Boston Marathon bombers. Another example is the development of a smartphone application that allows people to scan the barcode on any product. The app traces the product's ownership all the way to the parent company to help consumers make ethical purchasing decisions.
Global giants such as Google, Apple and Facebook have become our digital landlords. They hold commanding positions when it comes to reshaping the landscape in which citizens lead their lives and organizations conduct their business. The problem is, their global reach and influence is challenging governments, regulators and those wanting to stop and think about whether there are any negatives associated with new technology.
Google Glass' privacy implications could tip regulators or organizations into a new era of technology-prohibition. However, history has shown that prohibition nearly always fails. In our instantaneous, digitally-connected and globalized world, borders are increasingly porous, and cloud-enabled devices like Google Glass would open up yet another vector for data and information leakage.
There are already some laws in place that would curb unauthorized photography and video recordings by Google Glass, such as the Surveillance Devices Act 2004, a law passed in Australia that prohibits recording a private conversation without the consent of the parties involved. The European Union and many other countries have similar legislation. But that doesn't mean people won't try to get away with it.
Additionally, the risk that Google Glass could be hacked has already materialized. The IT security landscape is a complex melee of players such as cybercriminals, hackers, cloud computing vendors and information security vendors, and the perpetual arms race between them all appears never-ending. It should be noted that Google is now inviting users to hack its product, a cost-effective way of getting others to test the product's security capabilities—a very effective business model.
It's not all bad news, though. Google Glass has many upside potential benefits if used for a defined business purpose, and with the appropriate due diligence. The key message for CFOs is to be fully aware of the potential implications of new and emerging technologies, and proactively adapt and adopt your governance, monitoring and policy models appropriately. Then revisit regularly to adapt to the volatile technology landscape.

"Where my mother f*cking hotties at?"
A night that, only three hours before, started with a star-studded red carpet featuring athletes such as Derwin James of the Los Angeles Chargers and Jarvis Landry of the Cleveland Browns and entertainers including Sarunas Jackson of HBO's "insecure" and "106 & Park"/E! News' Terrence J was just getting started.
At 9:15 p.m. sharp, the lights dimmed. A stadium that was once filled with empty red seats turned into a sea of people– white, black, old and young.
"Where my mother f*cking hotties at?" rapper Megan Thee Stallion asked again, taking the stage on Jan. 30, day one of the Super Bowl LIV music fest.
"I keep it realer than real / F*ck all the critics and f*ck how they feel," she started, opening with "Realer"– the lead single from her 2019 debut mixtape "Fever."
"I'm getting money it is what it is / They wanna know how I did what I did," she continued, bringing the immediate, uncomparable energy often seen in her videos to the American Airlines stage.
Megan's spirit was contagious, with the audience never missing a beat as she transitioned into "Freak Nasty," a song from her 2018 extended play "Tina Snow" which features the song "Big Ole Freak" that launched her to stardom.
In true Stallion style, the rapper wore a red, white and black hoodie/shorts combo that perfectly hugged every curve and allowed her signature twerk skills to take center stage. She performed against a rather plain background that alternated between imagery from her music videos, Texas (the star's home state) memorabilia and big, gold letters that simply read "Megan The Stallion," as if anyone needed a reminder.
"Where my bad b*tches getting money at?" she asked the crowd. "If you know you don't need a man for nothing, make some mother f*cking noise."
And that they did.
Then came the moment we all knew was coming: the twerk interlude. Two groups of audience members, hot girls and hot boys, made their way to the stage to dance to her twerk anthems "Simon Says" featuring Juicy J and "Big Booty" with Gucci Mane.
"Simon says bust it open like a freak." The lyrics radiated throughout the stadium.
You know the rules: Simon said it. So, they did it– busting it open and throwing it back as if their lives depended on it while the entire crowd cheered them on.
Thee Stallion's set also included her hits "Sex Talk," "Hot Girl Summer" featuring Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign, and "Cash Shit" featuring DaBaby, ending with her newest single "B.I.T.C.H."– a supposed introduction to her new alter ego Suga.
After a brief intermission featuring announcers from 99JAMZ and songs including Pop Smoke's "Dior" and Afro B's "Drogba," another voice spread across the arena, engulfing every audience member effortlessly.
"DaBaby, DaBaby, DaBaby, DaBaby."
That, followed up with the tagline "That ain't the baby, that's my baby," let everyone know what was coming. And if you didn't know, well, you were about to find out.
Rapper DaBaby burst onto stage with an energy that almost rivaled Megan Thee Stallion's, performing "Suge," the song that put him on the map early last year.
He wore a beanie and matching sweatshirt, but my eye was immediately drawn to the belt around his waist and chain hanging from his neck– both so iced out I could see the glare from section 117.
The smell of freshly-wrapped blunts being lit that, up until then, had only played a minor factor, now spread so much that it was the only smell worth mentioning, even more than the stench and desperation of canned beer and cheap cologne. To say that people were having a good time would be the understatement of the year.
He followed up with his next hit, "Baby on Baby," accompanied with…real babies. Well, blow up ones that I'm assuming housed real, adult human beings inside them. It was weird, but I was here for it.
DaBaby performed other hits such as "INTRO" and "VIBES" from his most recent album "KIRK" and "Babysitter" from his previous discography, accompanied with lighting that alternated between blue, pink and purple and visuals that varied from fire to outer space. The backdrops, much like the ones before his, were simple. But, with an energy as untouchable and stage presence as captivating as DaBaby, simple was more than enough.
For the remainder of the set, the North Carolina rapper made his way into the crowd, bringing out friend Stunna 4 Vegas to perform their song "TOES" along with a few of Vegas' own records.
"I need everybody in this b*tch to put one fist up," DaBaby said. An obvious ode to the viral music video (featuring iconic 2010s dance crew Jabbawockeez) for "BOP," the audience knew exactly what time it was.
The once pink and purple lights turned to red, and the bass seemed to shake the entire arena– mimicking the absolute chaos that was about to ensue.
"I needed some sh*t with some bop in it," he started. The audience went crazy as DaBaby performed the song not once, but twice.
After another brief intermission, the room went dark. The "EA Sports" logo that had taken center stage was replaced with black and white footage documenting rapper Meek Mill's life, everything from his court case to his performances.
"Miami, what the f*ck is up?"
His visuals were the most decorated, ranging from grayscale to color, from images to text, from smoke to fire.
Meek jumped around his discography, which was expected as he has not released new music in quite some time. He performed hits such as "Tap" with NAV, "Going Bad" with Drake, "You Stay" with Dj Khaled and "All Eyes on You" featuring Nicki Minaj. That last one struck me as quite comical, given the viral run in he had with his ex-fiance and her husband just last week. But, the song's a banger– what can I say?
The rapper had some surprises up his sleeve, bringing out special guests Yella Beezy, Tory Lanez and Gunna, all in town for other Super Bowl festivities.
I am not Meek Mill fan, but I seemed to be the only one. Everyone surrounding me seemed to know every lyric of every song and went hard with every beat drop.
I, on the other hand, was only captivated by roughly three minutes of the performance. His delivery of "Dreams and Nightmares"– his biggest hit to date and absolute integral part, dare I say backbone, of every black party since its release in 2012– was everything I had been practicing for since coming to college.
Complete with confetti, smoke and fire, Meek left it all on stage. The perfect ending.
"If you f*cking with me, make some noise in this b*tch!"
The last act of the night was Dj Khaled and friends, emphasis on "and friends," and it came with plenty of surprises.
Almost immediately after stepping on stage, Khaled was joined by rapper Rick Ross to perform major throwbacks like "I'm on one," "All I do is win" and "B.M.F."
"Miami are you ready," Khaled asked.
"Miami, ARE YOU READY?" he asked again.
We all thought we were, but we were wrong.
Following Rick Ross came Trick Daddy to perform the 2007 song "I'm so hood." Then right after that came rapper Trina to perform her hit "Look Back at Me." And right after that came Ludacris performing "Move Bitch." And right after that came two out of three Migos to perform "Bad and Boujee" and "Pure Water." And so on.
It is not an exaggeration to say that everytime I so much as blinked, Khaled had brought out a new guest. And friends was right.
Other guests included 2 Chainz, Yo Gotti, Fabolous and Lil Wayne. And with each new performer, the crowd grew more energetic, despite it being almost 1 a.m.
"RIP Nipsey Hussle. RIP Kobe Bryant and Gianna," Khaled said before his last song of the night. "Put your hands in the sky. We're gonna do this for Kobe, Gianna and Nipsey."
Khaled told his team to turn on all the lights, and so they did. This last song was no big spectacle. It was a beautiful feel-good moment celebrating fellowship and paying tribute to those gone too soon. It felt fresh, pure.
What I expected was a sub-par performance of obscure Dj Khaled songs I did not know nor did I care to know. What I got, was a revolving door of everyone who was anyone in the late 2000s/early 2010s hip hop scene (and Migos). And I was absolutely living for it.

Bush keeps mum about secret society
Election shows where Bones are buried
Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts (1966), currently the
frontrunner in the race to become the Democratic candidate in the
November presidential elections, revealed his membership of the
society in an interview for US television program Meet the Press.
Conspiracy theories and hysteria surround the reporting of the
influence of the society. Its rituals are said to be bizarre.
Initiates must masturbate in a coffin while recounting their sexual
exploits, for which they will be rewarded with a no-strings-attached
gift of $15,000.
Kerry worked hard and played hard at
Yale. He often woke up at 5am
to study and went to Pamplona in Spain to run with the bulls with
classmate David Thorne.

Couldn't Stand it Any More - Cleaned
It's not my job, but I couldn't take the mess from my roommate any longer. She's almost never in the room and, when she is, she grabs what she wants and leaves the mess you see in the photo. I decided to tidy up her space while she was out. Seriously, this has gone on for weeks now. We'll see what here reaction is when she comes in.......I wonder whether she'll even notice the difference!

Out of all of the good old 1980s arcade games, Pac-Man is one that truly stands out, with its simple looking but challenging gameplay, iconic characters, and memorable music and sounds, it's a true masterwork of arcade gaming that's still fun to play. I've got a few Pac-Man collectibles in my game room, but I'd really love to have one of these lamps, made from LEGO bricks.
Artist Jamieson Pond of Pugs and Bricks builds these lamps from thousands of painstakingly selected LEGO blocks to form pixel art versions of the Pac-Man and the ghosts from the classic arcade game. The larger Pac-Man lamp was made using over 4,000 pieces, and includes LED backlit LEGO likenesses of Pac-Man, Inky, Blinky, Clyde and a blue ghost. I'm not sure what the deal is with the green ghost though. Guess we'll just have to call him "Greeny." Priced at $800, it's not cheap, but it sure looks cool.
The smaller Pac-Man lamp took 1,000 pieces to construct, though it's still pricey at $195. But if you're a true Pac-Man fanatic, I'm sure you can find a way to save up for one of these nifty lights.
I think the coolest of the designs is the 2,300 piece, 12″ tall Pac-Man nightlight tower, which is packed with (properly-colored) ghosts on every side, and Pac-Man on top. It's $425.
Whether or not you decide to buy one of these sweet lamps, be sure to check out Pugs and Bricks Etsy shop, which is packed with cool LEGO mosaic geekery, including an epic Super Mario tower light that stands nearly 3 feet tall.
