A towering figure in French music of the later 19th century, César Franck created a distinctive fusion of German Romanticism and French Classicism, enriching the symphonic, chamber, instrumental, vocal and sacred repertoires. As a teacher and mentor he gained admiration for his modesty and generosity while exercising a powerful influence on younger disciples such as Vincent d'Indy, Henri Duparc and Ernest Chausson.
The César Franck Edition gathers together all his masterworks – among them the Symphony in D, Violin Sonata, Prélude, Fugue et Variation and, of course, 'Panis Angelicus' – in enthralling performances by musicians of the first rank. Running to 16 CDs, the collection includes a CD of transcriptions and arrangements, proving their fascination for a still greater diversity of interpreters than Franck might have imagined.
The five CDs of historical recordings – dating back as far as 1907 – testify to the continuing growth of his reputation after his death in 1890, and to the vibrant performing tradition engendered by his genius.

The Blonde Bombshells are out this summer!
And guess what?! I fell into the "blonde hair" trap.. I got out of my hair stylists chair, inched my way over to the mirror, and with one eye open, I literally said to myself, "What the FUCK have I done?"
When Trying To Be "Bad & Blonde" Goes…Not In The Direction You Intended…
Okay, let me just be real, I pondered on the exact color that I was going to go with for…Ummm….48hrs! but nonetheless, I just new in my head that it was going to come out exactly like the Chrisette Michelle photo that I snagged off of pinterest.
Let me clear something up, I went in the hair salon with my natural hair color at about a 1 or 1B ish (If you aren't hair savvy those numbers will go straight over your head…my apologies lol). So, my fear of looking like a lion or bozo the clown had actually manifested!
I have said over and over to my natural friends, we have GOT to stop thinking that our hair texture, color etc will be like the celeb or IG bombshell's just because we bring in a picture for our hairstylist to replicate… its not their fault its OURS…
Before You Decide To Go Blonde…DO YOUR RESEARCH!
I've always been the type of person to act on impulse. Sometimes that can be good but then other times, you have to say "Woah Woah Woah! Yo SELF! You Doing Too Much…Take a Step Back B!" *In my most never been to New York accent*
If you see a picture of a style or color that you may want to try out.. take the photo to your stylist first for a consultation so that you two can go over color options and combinations.
The consultation will ensure that your stylist is capable of pulling off the color that you want.
When You Get It Right..Go Kill The GAME! "Confident Never Cocky"
After going a whole 24hrs with this color, I felt extremely uncomfortable. I went back to the hairstylist to get it right! I walked out of that salon 1.5hrs later, threw my knock off Gucci shades on and walked to my car feeling like a million of them big thangs!

The fine follows the theft of a laptop from a Nationwide employee's home which contained confidential customer data.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) found security was not up to scratch after the man had put details of nearly 11 million customers on his computer.
The FSA also found that the Nationwide did not start an investigation until three weeks after the theft occurred.
Financial crime
The FSA will not reveal exactly what was on the laptop as it has still not been recovered.
The Nationwide claimed that the information on it could not have been used for identity fraud as there were no PIN numbers, passwords or account balance information on it.
However, it appears the laptop may have contained names, addresses and account numbers.
As a result, the building society's customers had been exposed to the risk of financial crime.
"Nationwide is the UK's largest building society and holds confidential information for over 11 million customers," said Margaret Cole, director of enforcement at the FSA.
"Nationwide's customers were entitled to rely upon it to take reasonable steps to make sure their personal information was secure," she added.
The theft
The FSA's investigation showed that the building society had not known that the laptop contained any confidential customer information at all.
The laptop was stolen from the home of a long-standing and trusted employee of the Nationwide who needed access to the data.
However, despite reporting the theft of the laptop promptly, he did not tell his employer what was on it and then went on holiday abroad.
It was only three weeks later that he told the building society that customer information had been lost, prompting its investigation.
"The failure to manage or monitor downloads of very large amounts of data onto portable storage devices meant that Nationwide had limited control over information held in this way or how it was used, " said the FSA.
The theft became public last November.
The Nationwide then wrote to all its customers apologising for the security breach.
Its chief executive, Philip Williamson, repeated that apology.
"I wish to emphasise that there has been no loss of money from our customers' accounts as a result of this incident," he said.
The building society would not say if the employee in question had been sacked or otherwise disciplined.

All right, there is no catching up to be had. Sorry. I'm just going to start up leaving out whatever's happened between mid-July and now.
Ian, Benji, and I are in Seaside, Oregon, at the Fergusons' beach house with Ian's parents. We arrived on Thursday, August 1 after a surprisingly easy drive with Benji. Not to say he loved the drive, and by the end he was continuously signing "all done," as if that'd get us to take him out of his seat, but I admit being devoutly grateful he drinks from a bottle so he can eat in the car rather than stopping to nurse every few hours. We made it with one stop to look at the big trucks and crawl around, just south of Olympia.
We took Benji to the beach first thing, and he wasn't super thrilled, but we coaxed a smile out of him.
Friday I went for a bike ride out past Cannon Beach – exactly 60 minutes out, then 57 minutes back thanks to the headwind on the way out. I found the tunnel, even with blinking "Bike in tunnel" lights activated, a terrifying experience. I've done it before, but now I really need to come home without a careless-driver-sponsored detour to the nearest hospital. –Got home just fine, by the way. No worries.
It got sunny that afternoon, so we all went to the beach. Benji found the sand interesting, and we had to restrain him from diving directly into it. Water of all sorts has become one of Benji's favorite things, which means lots of splashing during bath time.
Saturday, Ian and I hiked from Ecola Point back to Seaside (about 8 miles) while Gary and Deborah watched Benji. We failed to bring a backpack (one of many small, slightly irritating things we forgot; but at least we remembered the baby), but made do with my camera bag and jacket pockets. It started off overcast, but by the time we arrived in Seaside it had "fined up" and the day turned quite nice.
Here we are at Ecola Point, perky and happy. …or at least, as perky and happy as we're going to get these days.
Indian Beach was swarming with surfers hoping to catch a wave. Lots of disappointed surfers that day. Look at that nice, calm water.
I really just took this picture for Mom.
Oregon coast: Always lovely, when the mist clears enough to see it.
And here we are at the Seaside trailhead, much less perky, but with still another couple miles to walk home.
Sunday never cleared up, so instead of doing the bike ride I planned, Deborah and I walked to Gearhart and back from Seaside (another 8 miles or so). We found delicious blackberries and many incredibly expensive beach houses. My walking muscles aren't used to that demanding activity. It turns out my feet are also wimpy and uncallused. Sunday we kind of just played with Benji and hung around — exactly as one should during vacation.
Monday didn't clear up either, but after lunch I decided to bite the bullet and go for a ride. Otherwise I could see I'd probably spend the entire vacation waiting for nice weather rather than actually riding. It is hard to decide to go out in 60-degree temps and cool, misty weather after coming from 75-degree sun at home, but I HTFU'd and went out. And I'm glad I did because it turned sunny after I left Seaside.
Oh, but on the route I tried to follow a "bike path"-marked trail on Google maps, without having looked at it in person before. When I got there, I found this.
A nice hiking path around this river, but not exactly expedient for road biking.
Last but not least, some cute Benji pictures.
Spinning the stacking sombreros. Benji has figured out that if he tosses round, flat objects like these stacking sombreros (we didn't know what else to call them) on a hard floor, he can get them to spin. It's one of his favorite activities right now, along with sucking/blowing on the center bump of the sombreros, which have two little whistly holes in them, and working hard to stack them on one another. Oh, and of course he knocks sombrero towers over, bangs them together, and finds objects we hide under the sombreros. Basically, they're his favorite toy, and here when we got them I hated them. Go figure.
I don't have any pictures of this, but Benji is also pulling up on everything (including grabbing hair, arm/chest hair of guys, shirts, pants, and skin of unsuspecting victims), working on taking steps, and mastering honest-to-goodness hands-and-knees crawling. Independent walking is a long way away, but we're working hard on that. Sleeping is a bit tough, though, because every time we put him down or he wakes up, he wants to stand up.

Chapter 1.4: One Last Hoorah
With a stern voice that brimmed with finality, the Russian team leader said, "Yes, comrades, we are already down, but we will not go down without fighting! If your bot is below thirty percent, eject it and get a new one. We will try to spawn trap them."
"YES, CAPTAIN!" was the unified shout of the team. Win or lose, the Russian side was going to their destinations as one.
On the Korean side of things, they were laughing at their fortune. They knew that they already had the game on paper.
"Hahahahahahahaahahahah. Look at that idiot. Using a tight formation against a 12/12 Tarancilot?"
"Yo, you are better off using Dash- oh I forgot, we banned it against you, Vampire!"
Everyone in the team laughed, including the Ancilking whose smile seems to reach the heavens.
They saw what the Russians were attempting to do, so they decided to stick together and play as one wave.
Medevdev led the charge with his Orkancilot, while his teammates were in all sorts of odd weaponry: Tridents, Aphids, Tempests and even Punishers were in the mix as they went to lock down the Koreans inside their camp.
"CHARGE! Ya russki ya harosho!"
Meanwhile, Park just typed on his Discord: "개 못하네" Then, he grinned and gave the order to conduct a surgical strike on the Russian team.
His teammates understood the message and went to smack down the Russians. Within the space of one minute, it was all over, with the Koreans even firing rockets at the corpses of the Russian robots for good measure.
The iconic WIN screen went up, with the note "All enemy robots were destroyed."
The Koreans jumped in joy. They were the first team to go to the playoffs and will go up against the Philippines.
Meanwhile, the Vampire and his team were quite unhappy that they became second seed. But they just sighed, knowing that there might be better matchups in the playoffs.
After a few moments of contemplation, both sides shook their hands in front of the crowd, while the audience stood up and gave them a standing ovation. Clearly, everyone loved the match.
The analytical caster started by stating, "So the match ended up with the Koreans taking a 2-0 clean sweep. You've got to love the surprises in the War Robots World Championships!"
"Indeed. And from what I saw, Korea picked the Philippines, as expected, while Russia has the choice to pick Brazil or Sweden. Who do you think will they pick?" was the reply.
"I'd probably go for Brazil. Sweden knows quite a lot of the Vampire's tricks."
"Hmmm, let's see what happens next!"
Medevdev paused for a bit and asked for the microphone.
"We will pick Sweden. We want to have a bang. If it's our last match, then so be it."
Everyone, including the casters, gasped in total shock and disbelief. After all, only one out of the four analysts predicted that Russia will pick Sweden in case they lose to Korea in the previous match.
After the casters said some more remarks regarding the match, the screen went off to the post-match interview.
First, Park, dressed up in the colors of the Korean flag, came up and said, "It was a great match, props to the Russian team for lasting the entire distance. I am wishing them luck further. They are indeed a very good team, but today, we were better, so yeah. Wish us all the best in the playoffs!"
An earnest set of claps came from the audience. With Korea going up against the home team, the happiness of the on-site spectators turned out to be a bit subtle than usual.
Then, the Vampire went to the stage, stating that they will still continue to do their best and they will go as far as they can, hoping to make history by grabbing their first back-to-back championship along the way.
The audience clapped again in earnest. It was already getting late, so the crowd and the rest of the staff dispersed afterwards, leaving only the production personnel to let them prepare for tomorrow's matches.
With those words, they concluded the match and the road to the playoffs of the 2nd War Robots World Championships has begun.
Back in Dead City, only the carcasses of destroyed robots were left. The beacons were all in red and the airships carrying the enemy have left for another target. The blue faction has lost the battle after an intense fight with the enemy.
The captain of Alpha Squad knew that it was only one battle in a long war.
He just sighed at the futility of it. He knows that peace is what really matters in the long run.
Now that the Vampire is now resting, he can actually think of a proper strategy to beat Sweden, whom they chose together as a team for their first match in the playoffs.
You can read the next chapter here! As for the previous one, you can always go back!

Our Story
Maps have changed for good. We have moved from 'best guess' and 'probably' to a new era of accuracy and increased certainty in intelligence patterns. Geollect's founders identified an opportunity to build on their foundation of experience in UK and US intelligence with the rapidly evolving disciplines of data science and location technologies to address these challenges.
In 2017, the founders of Geollect had an idea that quickly evolved into action.
We could see the rapid shift in data availability and the ever-growing requirements for solutions to make sense of that data. Geospatial is part of our DNA, so we knew that to make sense of all this data, we needed to leverage location technologies. We needed to map it to make sense of it. We knew that outdated methodologies would not work, but we knew that there was value in building on the solid foundation of intelligence best practices. So, we started on a journey to build a team that could harness the power of machine learning and advanced geospatial analysis to translate the enormous amount of powerful and actionable data intelligence into decisions and impactful benefits.
Our team started with 2 intelligence officers back in 2017 and is now a continuously expanding team of geospatial analysts, remote sensing experts, intelligence experts, software developers, data scientists, and data engineers. Everyone who joins the team shares the same ambition, passion for geospatial data, and eagerness to just get things done!
Throughout our journey we have recognised the value of partnerships. We have built and fostered partners across the globe who are like-minded organisations who sweat the details, value user experience, and have a passion for acting quickly and efficiently.
Within two years of founding, Geollect has grown a strong customer base across multiple sectors. We grew our capability from the first prototype built in a slides presentation to a catalogue of web-based solutions that look deeper, using pattern-of-life analysis and intelligence expertise to statistically describe normal operations in an area, corroborate social media and reporting agents in near real-time, and identify behaviours that put assets at greater risk.

Geollect's platform has transformed the way in which we review vessels entered with the Club. The best part of working with Geollect, apart from being professional, is that they are very friendly and approachable and always use their best endeavours to find a solution to every request.
Working with Geollect has allowed us to develop a bespoke geo-referenced information platform, where we can share a variety of sources of information with our Members. The expertise and dedication of the Geollect team has allowed us to quickly develop and launch additional data layers relating to topical global issues. Through the Geollect team taking the time to fully understand our needs and requirements, they have been able to utilise their experience and expertise to deliver a fantastic resource for our Members. We are excited to be working with an innovative company like Geollect and look forward to continuing to further enhance and develop the capabilities of our platform.
Geollect has been a great partner in our efforts to broaden our situational awareness, by providing a more holistic and integrated view of our global asset exposure and the risks we face at Royal Caribbean. Working in the intelligence analysis space at Royal Caribbean during the last 5 years and testing various technology platforms, I can say without question that Geollect is at the top of that list. It's been challenging to find a provider that understands the maritime space and can deliver a platform that adequately meets our intelligence needs. Their ability to bring together disparate layers of data—both at sea and on land—and visually represent them in an integrated manner made them stand out above the rest. We are excited about our partnership with Geollect and look forward to a collaborative relationship.
It is forward-thinking UK companies like Geollect that are driving the rapid growth of the geospatial industry and giving the UK economy a boost. Now is the time for other businesses to tap into the international opportunities for geospatial analysis and showcase British services and expertise on the global stage.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
It's been a tradition for nearly three-and-a-half centuries, so it was a great honor for iam8bit to produce the "347th Annual Tamriel Beer Garden". Truthfully, though – it's a fabrication, devised as a community event to celebrate Elder Scrolls Online (you *almost* believed us!). The game inserts players into a massive open-world, allowing you to make even the most minor of choices as you live out a life of high fantasy. We wanted to recreate that experience IN REALITY. So in a 15,000 sq. ft. castle-like venue in downtown Boston, we did just that – erecting a small village complete with a merchant's shop, a gigantic pub, a medieval band, gameplay stations, photo playsets, and much more. Upon entering, attendees were gifted a pouch of 20 custom-made coins – which they then had to spend to do pretty much anything. Beer cost two coins, while the merchant peddled higher-priced goods, like collectible pewter steins. To keep the economy lively, a cast of a dozen actors roamed the venue – in full makeup, masks and wardrobe – some of whom might even gamble with you. Part event, part sociological study (drawing 1,700+ people) – it's quickly become an event of legend.

Capcom has laid out its plans for Street Fighter V's June update, which will be the game's biggest since its launch in February.
First up is the cinematic story mode, which Capcom states will last 3-4 hours. This free mode will allow players to experience the events between Street Fighter IV and III. All six of Street Fighter V's currently known DLC characters will be playable, including those that will not be available in the game proper just yet. This includes Alex, Guile, Ibuki, Balrog, Urien, and Juri, the latter three of which will be added to the game's roster at a later date. Capcom does clarify that these builds of the characters are not "final" and shouldn't be considered tournament-ready.
Completing the story mode will earn you 30,000 Fight Money to use in the in-game shop, while playing it on the more difficult unlockable "Extra Mode" will earn you an additional 50,000.
June's update will also bring Ibuki into the roster, as well as the ability to purchase content with real-world money instead of the in-game Fight Money currency. As such, the free trial period for Alex and Guile will cease when the update goes live, meaning players will have to either earn them through Fight Money or pay out of pocket to play as them.
For more on Street Fighter V's current state, check out Gaming Trend's review.

Part 5: Lichtenstein Mini Solid Square
I love how little squares look when joined up together but I haven't got the perseverance to make a whole blanket out of wee blocks so I thought I'd incorporate just a few into this design instead. Named and inspired by the famous 1960's pop art artist Roy Lichtenstein we are going to use dots and solid bold colours to add interest to our finished Groovyghan.
These little squares are great stash-busters and great little projects to take out and about to then join together later! A simple little design with a subtle pattern which looks great either made in one colour or joined together in multiple colours.
To try to make this CAL easier for everyone I have included both the written pattern, chart and a photo tutorial of how I have made this pattern below.
Written Pattern:
Lichtenstein Mini Solid Square (Make 16):
- Hook: UK 4 mm / US Size G
- Yarn: Double Knit / 8 ply / Weight #3
- Yarn Amount required: Each square roughly uses up 16 yds (15 m / 5 g) / Total squares 128 yds (120 m / 80 g)
- Gauge in double knit / 8ply / yarn weight #3: 6 tr/dc sts or 2 clusters = 1.5 inches / 3.8 cm
If your gauge is different to mine e.g. because you are using a bigger hook and heavier weight yarn all you will need to do is check your own gauge and stick to it – this should mean that the pattern should fit together at the end.
- Finished square size in double knit / 8ply / yarn weight #3: 2.5 x 2.5 inches / 6.4 x 6.4 cm
Pattern uses English (UK) and American (US) crochet terms for a conversion chart click here.
- st(s) = stitch(es)
- sp(s) = space(s)
- sl st = slip stitch
- ch(s) = chain(s)
- tr/dc = UK treble / US double crochet
- BLO = Back Loop Only
- [ ] = work anything in brackets into one space or stitch as specified
Stitch Guidance:
- Working in the back loop: When working in the BLO I like to work through both the back loop and the 3rd loop; it makes the stitch more sturdy and the subtle texture on the square neater.
- UK Treble / US Double Crochet (tr/dc): Yarn over, insert hook in indicated st and pull up a loop (three loops on hook), yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through remaining two loops on hook.
- Note 1: Once you have completed each square I would suggest you weave in your ends so that you don't have a major sewing job to do at the end of the groovyghan!
Rnd 1: Ch 8, sl st to form a ring, sl st into the ring, ch 1 (doesn't count as a st), then work 16 tr/dc into the ring, sl st to top of the first tr/dc to join (16 sts)
Rnd 2: Note: All stitches on Rnd 2 should be worked in the BLO apart from the first ch 3: Ch 3 (counts as the first tr/dc), then work 1 tr/dc, ch 3, 2 tr/dc in the same st as the beginning ch 3], *1 tr/dc in the next 3 sts, [2 tr/dc, ch 3, 2 tr/dc] in the next * repeat from * to * twice, 1 tr/dc in the last 3 sts, sl st to top of the top of the beginning ch 3 to join, finish off and weave any ends (28 sts = 4 x ch 3 sps)
See below for details on blocking and joining your squares together to complete Part 5 of the CAL and below that a photo tutorial for the pattern.
For crochet symbols in English (UK) and American (US) crochet terms click here.
I blocked my finished panels once I had joined them together;
- Tip 1: Use stitch markers or knit clips to hold your squares steady and lined up whilst you join them together.
- Tip 2: Do not pull your yarn too tight when working your joins. Generally you should have the same sort of stretch that the crochet squares have.
Join your squares together into two sets of 2 x 4 panels; eight squares in total on each panel (please refer to the CAL schematic for details) by slip stitching in the front loop only on the wrong side of the work;
- line up your blocks so the edges and stitches match,
- then start sl st in the front loop only, starting at the last ch of a ch 3 sp, and along each edge, working the stitches through each square and joining on the first ch of the ch 3 sp – 9 sts in total joined.
Using the same joining methods as the rest of the pieces you can now join all of your pieces together ready for Part 6!
Some of the patterns in the CAL may need to be 'blocked' so that they are equal on all sides (not curling) and fit the size dimensions of the pattern. If you are unfamiliar with what blocking means / or how to do it then please check out the following links:
- What is blocking? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_%28textile_arts%29
- How to Wet Block a Square by Moogly: http://www.mooglyblog.com/how-to-wet-block-afghan-squares/
- Steam Blocking Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSe949pbkBA
You may already have blocking boards to hand but if not anything you can firmly pin your square to will do e.g. a folded up towel or an ironing board.
The finished panel sizes (2 x eight block panels) in double knit / 8ply / yarn weight #3 should be 5 x 10 inches /12.7 x 25.4 cm cm (your block will be slightly larger if using worsted / aran / 10ply / yarn weight #4).
Photo Tutorial:
Lichtenstein Mini Solid Square (Make 16):
1. Rnd 1: Ch 8, sl st to form a ring
2. ch 1 (doesn't count as a st),
3. then work 16 tr/dc into the ring, sl st to top of the first tr/dc to join (16 sts)
4. Note: All stitches on Rnd 2 should be worked in the BLO apart from the first ch 3: Rnd 2: Ch 3 (counts as the first tr/dc),
5. then work 1 tr/dc, ch 3, 2 tr/dc in to the same st as the beginning ch 3],
6. *1 tr/dc in the next 3 sts,
7. [2 tr/dc, ch 3, 2 tr/dc] in the next *
8. repeat from * to * twice, 1 tr/dc in the last 3 sts, sl st to top of the top of the beginning ch 3 to join, finish off and weave any ends (28 sts = 4 x ch 3 sps)
And that's it! Part 5 completed!
Don't forget to stay tuned for Part 6 to be released on 23rd March 2016.

Ranch Boss Fire Pit
Ranch Boss can burn whole logs, seat large numbers of people, and feed throngs. Its size gives tremendous versatility for many kinds of cooking, from rotisserie to Dutch oven, and from grilling to the serving as the world's most impressive soup pot. While it is often the central point of resort and lodge settings it is often found on home patios as a statement of quality and the center of outdoor family life.With a 6'4″ tripod height, a vast basin and even larger diameter, Cowboy Cauldron's Ranch Boss can hold a number of full logs and create a perimeter large enough for a whole family to sit around and enjoy. This is an outdoor tool for grilling on, cooking in or simply for taking in warmth while outside. Each cauldron has been crafted from solid, seamless, high-tensile plate steel—and while that alludes to its functionality and durability, it's also a beast of simple beauty.

TransmissionSix-speed auto
DrivetrainFour-Wheel Drive

MPG12 City, 16 HWY
It was fun to own a truck for a while, but fuel prices and a global recession eventually caught up to the recreational truck owner. Sales of the Ford F-Series came in at 413,000 units in 2009, while 2010 improved to 528,000. Combined that adds up to roughly the same amount of trucks Ford sold in '05 alone. Does the precipitous drop in truck sales mean that high-dollar pickups of the past are on the outs? Not even close.
The F-150 lineup now features Lariat, Platinum, King Ranch and particularly awesome Raptor variants, each with their own hefty price tag. The Raptor is an off-roading beast of epic proportions, while the Lariat, Platinum and King Ranch offer plush accommodations and equipment that are matched by great looks and supreme capability. And if none of those options appeal to the $50,000 truck buyer, Ford continues to offer the F-150 Harley-Davidson edition.
For 2011, Ford's brand-borrowing super truck now boasts more power, new looks and an even fancier (for better or worse) cabin. We took the reins of a fully loaded Harley-Davidson-branded F-150 to see if this pricey pickup has the right mix of luxury and performance to bring back the low impact luxury truck owner. Continue reading...
The first time we locked eyes with the Harley edition F-150, we were shocked by its un-truck-like bling factor. A sparkly black paint job, loads of highly reflective decals and a set of gorgeous 22-inch wheels mated to P275/45V R22 BSW performance rubber tends to do that. And if those attributes don't grab your attention, Ford adds a unique grille made of six horizontal chrome bars and enough Harley-Davidson badging to inform drivers in other counties what kind of truck you're driving.
The Harley F-150 certainly looks menacing from the outside, and the job continues inside the cabin. Again, there are loads of Harley-Davidson badging, including a ridiculous (and massive) metallic logo etched into the center arm rest. The electronics are everywhere, including power-deployable running boards that make ingress and egress a snap. In all, the cabin definitely stands out, with loads of supple leather and great-looking piano black appliques that add some contrast the F-150's monumental dash.
The Harley F-150 also scores points for usefulness. Ford went out of its way to make the back seat of F-150 SuperCrew as commodious as possible, with plenty of room for adults or cargo. If you have a large item that needs to stay away from the elements, simply fold up the seat bottoms and there's room for a couple 50 inch flat-screen TVs. If more space is needed, there's the 5.5-foot bed out back. Our tester even came with an optional bed extender ($250) to allow for items that stretch to the end of the opened tailgate. Another option our tester featured was Ford's Ingenious Step ($375), which is integrated into the tailgate. Check out the Autoblog Short Cut video below to see if it lives up to its name.
If you want to get the maximum pleasure out of the cabin, get ready to crack open the F-150's owner's manual to learn how to use the many gadgets that contribute to its $52,740 price tag. Standard features include voice-activated Navigation with Travel Link and Sony Audio, Sync, a USB port for your MP3 player or smartphone, power moon roof and backup camera. Not enough? There's also an integrated trailer brake controller, power sliding rear window and leather seats that are heated and cooled in the front row. We're particularly fond of the standard 4.2-inch LCD nestled into the middle of the gauge cluster. It's bright as the rising sun, accessed via steering wheel controls, and provides useful information like fuel economy, off-road data and towing info.
The comfortable, well-bolstered seats are also a highlight, and the leather-wrapped steering wheel feels as good as it looks, but not all that glitters is gold. And seriously, we actually see glitter on the center console, which isn't great. Any time an automaker starts with a $22,000 truck, there are going to be some hard-touch materials. The Harley-Davidson F-150 is certainly guilty, as the hulking dash is harder than a Louisville Slugger, but without any of the real wood. It also took quite a while to acclimate to this princely pickup's multitude of buttons, switches and gadgets.
We're guessing the Harley-Davidson F-150 will come with a steep learning curve for some owners, yet most will have no problem figuring out what to do with Ford's new 6.2-liter V8. That's a big motor, and it's a heavy hitter as well, with 411 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 434 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 revs. That's more juice than nearly any other engine in the F-150 lineup, but the truck's 6,052-pound curb weight means that land speed records shouldn't be expected. Gears are swapped via Ford's six-speed automatic transmission, a smooth combination as long as you're not thrashing the throttle. We noticed that the six-speed was jerky when standing on the go pedal, but the Harley F-150 still goes like stink when prodded.
Towing is a more important measure of performance for most truck owners, but in spite of the Harley F-150's 411 ponies, an integrated trailer brake controller, towing package and Trailer Sway Control, our four-wheel-drive tester carries a max towing capacity of only 7,200 pounds. For perspective, the midsize Toyota Tacoma can tow 6,500 pounds, and the F-150 is far bigger and its engine has over 50-percent more displacement. The truck's payload is limited to 1,260 pounds as well, down nearly 300 pounds compared to the King Ranch F-150. Big wheels and tires have a lot to do with those compromised numbers, as does a lowered ride height.
At over 6,000 pounds and 75.9 inches of tall, you can imagine that there's plenty of body-roll when diving into turns, and the turning radius is slightly compromised, which is less than ideal when trying to park at Home Depot. The same holds true for most trucks in this class, and this F-150 is no different. One thing that does set the Harley F-150 apart from others is its supple highway ride. There is minimal bounciness, thanks in part to three tons bearing down on the suspension, and the 22-inch wheels don't hinder the ability to handle potholes as much as we thought they would. Braking is quite good as well, with solid pedal feel and plenty of bite.
Ford did a respectable job of making this big, heavy pig feel relatively light on its feet, but there are only so many miracles coming out of Dearborn, MI these days. The downside to all that power and pork is fuel economy, and the Harley-Davidson F-150 has a bigger drinking problem than Nick Cage in Leaving Las Vegas. The Environmental Protection Agency tells us this F-150 averages 12 miles per gallon in city driving and 16 mpg on the highway. We struggled to hit 13 mpg in mixed driving, and that's not a good thing, especially when gas is over $4 a gallon.
While we can see a bit of a split personality with regard to the Harley-Davidson F-150, we can't help but like it anyway. After all, Ford has added a slew of new technology to its truck lineup, and the Blue Oval threw everything it had at this bike-branded pickup.
The Harley-Davidson F-150 really isn't the sharpest work tool in the garage, but if a truck buyer is looking for a luxury pickup, this could be the best bet yet. Until fuel prices top out past $5 a gallon.

The Hyde Shopping Centre c. 1965
By Pauline Maryan
When you see what shops still retail at the Hyde, have things really changed apart from the people running them ? We moved to Shephall (Baddeley Close) back in 1964 from London and down the Hyde you could get everything. Have your hair cut, have your hair done, a couple of Newsagents, the Bank, the Cafe- used to have our Dinners there during the school holidays, my Parents had an arrangment with them, also with George the Barber too. The Co-op was there and still is, Foxes stood Opposite, had a Saturday job there. The manager was called Alan and he used to take me to watch evening games at White hart Lane. I moved abroad in 1977 but come back 3 times a year and always find a reason to get something down the Hyde.
I remember the Hyde well when I grew up in Shephall as a young boy in the late70's and 80's.
I had many a haircut at the Barber's (cant recall the name of the Barbers, but it was set back from the main part of the Hyde to back and left of where the Chinese was). Was sent by my mum many a time to collect a Chinese. Bought probably countless sweets at both of the newsagents too. Also remember buying a copy of the book "A District Nurse" at the newsagents near the church in the mid-80s, after watching the TV series of the time (I must have been around 1984, and I'd be 10 or 11). Strange what you remember! The Co-Op was a regular store too; mum used to drag us with her to pick up items, or as we got older, send us to get them for her! Butchers/greengrocers too. I think there was a Londis opposite the Co-Op too. I'll have to make a trip back to Stevenage one day to have a look at what everything is like now!
Before the Chinese was there, which I think is still open, I went to school with a girl whose dad had it as a cafe which had bi-fold doors so you could extend the tables onto the pavement when the weather was nice. If memory serves her name was Susan Casson. There were two greengrocers, one Edwards I believe, next to fish shop owned by Rowes, and the other up the opposite end near the church. Bike shop, got my first one with stabilisers there (!), chemist where two of the ladies who worked there were twins, two grocers, dress shop where mum bought a lot of clothes for me and herself. Two butchers as well I think, similarly like the greengrocers up either end of the shops.
I was probably the boy with the "penny for the guy" sign.
What was the toy shop called? That's where we bought the fireworks
I moved to Stevenage with my parents and older sister in 1959 and lived in Bandley Rise. I went to Bandley Rise infants and junior schools. In 1964 I went to Barnwell school. I remember going to the shops at the Hyde for my mum, and seeing a boy wanting some pennies for a guy for fireworks night, gave him some of my mum's pennies change. She was not happy with me at all! Does anyone remember a robbery at the bank in the Hyde? I think my dad may have seen the robbers at some point.
We lived in Stevenage until 1966 when we moved down to Wiltshire.
One of my mum's friends ("Auntie Pam") worked in the baker's shop, and if she saw me on the way home from school, she would call me in to the shop and gave me a cake to take home.
I think that I may well be one of the babies in this photo being pushed along in a pram by my mum. I was born in April 65 and we lived near the Hyde. Lovely to see the bank and other shops. Wests was our favourite for prezzies for Mother's Day-the shop always smelled of paraffin and dog biscuits. When I met my future in laws for the first time my husbands mum had the same much loved but unbelievably naff ornaments from Wests that my mum did-treasured prezzies from her kids. 32 years later with both mums sadly gone, I now have a number of beloved Mother's Day beauties from my own family :)
I grew up with the Hyde as our family shopping centre – the butchers was called Dewhurst, with the greengrocers next door – My dad worked in the post office before he became an area manager – I remember the lollipop man as well we called him Mr Loo – he lived opposite Bandley Hill Infants & Juniors – the buses stopped the end of the centre near the church when I lived there -
I can remember the toilet block at the Hyde… I think the hairdresser was once Raymond Leslie, which later changed to Shades. I also remember the Launderette, the butchers, greengrocers, and Pearces Bakers. There was also a music shop and pet shop, and my Mum worked in Wests Hardware shop, which later became the Indian Takeaway. Lloyds bank turned into a Doctors surgery. Martins Newsagents, near the rent office, was my favourite as a child, I used to get my 10p mixtures in there..I also remember the lolly pop man, he did that job for years. Awww those were the days. I moved away from the area a few years ago, but the Hyde was a very different place to when I was a child.. I have fond memories though.
I can remember Martins Bank where Lloyds bank was and at the end of that block there was a cafe.
The Hyde – What do I remember of the first shops there? First during building there were the Huts and Caravans ranging from Newsagents, that was Greenhalghs, to the Barber that was Mikes. The DIY was Elmes and the Coop also had one I believe. They all moved in to the brand new shops as and when theirs were completed.Once the shops were completed I recall that there was Fox's the Grocer ( opposite the Coop) Furr Bos. Fish & Chips; the Galleon Wine Company Off Licence. Baileys Newsagents had the post office facility. There was also a Ladies Hairdresser but can't remember the name. Lloyds Bank seen in the picture above were also there in the days when Banks closed at 3:00pm. The Buses used to pull in to the car park – a lot less cars then! The Fold PH, an Ind Coop house, opened soon after the shops I recall. There was a Butchers shop and a Chemist nearby both opposite Greenhalghs – every class had a lad that went off to be an apprentice Butcher in those days. The "Corporation" also had a rent office. and there was even a Public toilet in the days when it could be relied on to find hot water and soap and clean surroundings. There was also a Chinese at the end of the Bank row of shops. I have forgotten a few but my abiding memory of those days in early sixties was that these neighbourhood centres provided a vital service in those days compared to what we see now. The Hyde, during the evenings, was a significant gathering place for the Scooter riders of the sixties and I regularly recall the regular moving on by the "Beat" Policeman if there were too many of us upon which we normally went home at the second asking. Happy memories of days now in the archives of time.

If horror movies have taught us anything, you never want to be that person who goes outside to "just check things out." (Hint: you won't be coming back.) Slasher cliche's aside, there is an insight into home security that this startup is looking to take advantage of.
Rather than alert you when a bad guy breaks a window, this system uses tech to explore things that go bump in the night. Solar powered "sunflowers" learn the routines around your property. If something's funky, a personal drone is dispatched to investigate and send you a pic of the perp.
Tech overload aside, the most interesting notion is the rethinking the CX of home security from protection to investigation. And who knows, we might start seeing "Beware of Drone" signs everywhere.

Colorado Springs: Off
Tulsa: L 3-5
Xavier Cedeno came back a day sooner than I thought, and did decent but unspectacular work with the 65 pitches he was limited to, allowing five hits, a walk a nd two runs in four innings. Jon George and Edward Valdez let the other three runs score over the next four and two-thirds and the Driller offense couldn't score enough to keep up. Corey Wimberly and Chris Nelson were the only Tulsa players with two hits, Wimberly doubled in two in the third and Nelson hit his first triple of the season with two outs in the sixth but was left stranded. Chaz Roe will return to action as early as next week.
Modesto: L 0-5
Two pitchers in the system won pitcher of the week honors last week, and both followed that up with stink bombs in their next appearance. Shane Lindsay didn't fare any better than Ching-lung Lo in defending his title, with a line of fives running across the board in innings, runs allowed, hits allowed and walks. He only struck out two. Not that his offense did any better, the lone highlight was that Cole Garner had his sixth multi-hit game out of the last ten with a double and single.
Asheville: L 2-4
Maybe it's a let down after their triumphal series against Charleston, maybe it's a road trip exposing weaknesses that are masked at friendly McCormick Field, personally I think it's a lack of patience catching up to the team against a pitching staff that has difficulty throwing strikes, but for whatever reason, the Tourists bats that were so hot a weak ago have been playing like duds this week, managing only four hits against the Sand Gnats yesterday. They did whiff thirteen times. Bruce Billings had a better start than his last couple, allowing just four hits and two walks in five innings, but the three runs he gave up were enough to earn the L yesterday.

The Rivers COVID-19 vaccine guide
May Day is just a month and a half awaybut by then, if the Biden administrations plans hold up, the nation will be in a more hopeful place in the road out of the pandemic. Last week, a White House briefing and news release laid out the map to a summer thats closer to normal: every adult in the country eligible for vaccine by May 1, a dramatic increase in the number of vaccination sites as well as those who can serve as vaccinators, expanded testing and variant surveillance of COVID-19, increased support for schools, and a federally supported online vaccine site locator and call center to help take some of the confusion out of getting vaccinated. (In the meantime, readers in the Hudson Valley and Catskills can check out The Rivers local vaccination guide. We cant promise you wont be confused by the shifting landscape of the vaccine rollout, but well do our best to guide you through it.)
Between the ongoing sexual harassment investigation and mounting criticism of his pandemic policy decisions, Governor Andrew Cuomo is in an unflattering spotlight, and the eyes of the nation are on his top aides and advisors as well. Over the weekend, The Washington Post had a disturbing scoop: Larry Schwartz, a personal friend and Cuomos volunteer vaccine czar, called up county executives as the scandal was unfolding to inquire about their loyalty to the governor. At least one Democratic county executive, who wished to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation, was rattled enough by Schwartzs call to file an ethics complaint with the state attorney generals office, fearing that the countys vaccine supply might be at stake if he said the wrong thing. In defending their own actions, neither Schwartz nor Cuomo appear to grasp how coercive these power dynamics can be. Nobody indicated that they were uncomfortable or that they did not want to talk to me, Schwartz told the Post in defense of his calls to county executives, sounding an awful lot like the governor himself.
The Biden administration has been fairly quiet on Cuomos widening scandals, but on Monday, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki spoke out about Schwartzs calls and the implication that vaccine equity might be tainted by politics. New developments seem to happen every day, she said. The president finds them troubling.
Another must-read from the weekend: Rebecca Traister in New York Magazine with a deep dive on the culture of thuggish paternalism that Cuomo has been getting away with for yearsuntil, suddenly, he wasnt. Cuomo was a bully, but he was our bully, Traister writes. But no longer: Now, the venal toxicity that has buttressed his career has, at least temporarily, been exposed for what it is.
Many New York State politicians in both parties, including Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, and a sizable chunk of the states Congressional delegation, are calling on Cuomo to resign. But the public isnt there yet, a new poll suggests: About half of New York State voters think the governor should not resign, according to a new Siena College poll. Then again, they hadnt heard about Larry Schwartzs phone callsthe poll closed on Friday.
More indoor dining, more shows, more sports: Are New Yorks loosening pandemic restrictions being guided by science? The editorial board of the Daily News worries that Cuomo might be giving New Yorkers a little bread and circus to distract them from his political turmoil. We sincerely hope these decisions were all motivated by balanced analysis of the data and economic concerns, and not by any desire to distract from the trouble Cuomo now faces, they write.
Meanwhile, the science on restaurants and COVID-19 continues to be grim. Last week, a report from the CDC analyzing the impact of state pandemic policy found that the lifting of bans on on-premise restaurant dining contributed to increased COVID-19 cases and deaths in the weeks and months that followed.
The CDC is also taking a look backward at guidance issued under the Trump administration, and has removed some guidance that agency leaders say was not written by CDC staff. None of the guidance the agency is now walking back escaped public criticism at the time: One piece now being singled out as unscientifica policy issued last summer that discouraged testing of those who had been in contact with COVID-19-positive people unless they had symptomswas reversed within weeks after an outcry from scientists.
The Biden administration is gearing up to launch an ambitious campaign to convince the American public to get vaccinated against COVID-19. STAT News took a deeper look at what it might look likeand why celebrity endorsements wont be enough to reach communities where vaccine hesitancy is likely to slow the path to herd immunity.
For months, in coronavirus briefings, Governor Cuomo has hammered on the theme of vaccine hesitancy in Black and brown communities. On Monday, he revisited the topic again at a televised briefing in Old Westbury. We need the Black community and the Hispanic community to come forward and have confidence in this vaccine, Cuomo said. But hesitancy may be more of a partisan issue than a racial issue: Recent polling indicates the demographic group least likely to get vaccinated is Republican men. What will it take to convince vaccine-hesitant Trump voters to get a shot? A focus group held recently with Trump voters pointed toward some surprising answers: The group found the comments of former CDC director Tom Frieden, an Obama appointee, more compelling than a Fox News pro-vaccine ad.
A third wave of COVID-19 cases and deaths is sweeping Europe, prompting strict new lockdowns in Italy. At the same time, several European countries are pausing their rollout of the AstraZeneca vaccine, not yet approved in the US, to investigate a handful of deaths among people who recently received it. US officials are keeping a wary eye on Europes troubles, and top coronavirus health expert Anthony Fauci is warning that US cases are leveling off at a very high rate, leaving us vulnerable to a similar surge if variants outpace the vaccination effort. Now is not the time to relax, Fauci said. The best way that we can avoid any threat from variants is to do two things: Get as many people vaccinated as quickly as we possibly can and continue with the public health measures until we get this broad umbrella of protection over society, he told CNN this weekend.
Three new state sites are opening on Long Island on Friday, Cuomo announced Monday. Appointments at the new sites can be made through the state website and vaccine hotline starting Wednesday.
A new state law entitles all New York State employees, both public and private, to four hours of excused leave for each COVID-19 vaccine injection. The law went into effect on Friday, March 12.
A state rapid test program is expanding to support the reopening of arts events, weddings, and other events statewide. Twenty-six new state-supported rapid testing sites are opening in the Hudson Valley, New York City, Long Island, the Capital Region, and Western New York, in addition to twelve that have already opened, according to a press release issued Friday.
New York State will no longer require quarantine for domestic travelers as of April 1.
Restaurants in New York City can move from 35 percent to 50 percent capacity as of March 19, when the maximum capacity for indoor dining in the rest of the state goes from 50 to 75 percent.
Jury trials in the state court system will begin again next week, but most New York State court proceedings will be virtual for the foreseeable future, Chief Judge Janet DiFiore said Monday. Judges and other essential public-facing court workers are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday, when a planned state expansion of eligibility for many public-facing workers goes into effect.
The recent passage of the latest federal stimulus bill means local aid for county, city, town, and village governments to cover costs incurred by responding to the pandemic, with amounts determined by census data. The Poughkeepsie Journal breaks down what that means for Dutchess County and the Hudson Valley at large. The Sullivan County Democrat also checked in with town supervisors on their thoughts about the infusion of cash soon to come; most of them sound relieved. Its going to help a lot, said Bethels Dan Sturm.
New York high school students will be exempt from graduation testing requirements for the second year in a row, the state Board of Regents announced Monday. Education officials also revealed plans for a scaled-back version of standardized assessments for grades 3-8 and promised more information will go out to schools this week.

Rockland County will receive $9.6 million from the federal government to help tenants who have fallen behind on the rent, the county announced in a press release last week. The grant comes out of the Emergency Rental Assistance program established by the CARES Act, and will pay money directly to landlords on behalf of tenants who have lost their job, had a reduction in household income, incurred significant costs, or experienced other financial hardship due to the pandemic. Tenants must also demonstrate a risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability and demonstrate the household income does not exceed 80 percent of area median income, according to the release. Tenants and landlords can contact the county via forms on the county website.
The state-run mass vaccination site at the Westchester County Center administered its 100,000th dose last Thursday, County Executive George Latimer said in a coronavirus press briefing last week. The hub surpassed the milestone in just under two months, and the rate of vaccinations is increasing as supply improves; Latimer said that the hub will soon be vaccinating more than 3,000 people per day. As of last week, 13.6 percent of county residents had been fully vaccinated.
Latimer also said that the county expects to receive an additional shipment of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine on March 29, most of which will be reserved for seniors (the countys first shipment of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was also reserved for those 60 and up). Westchester is working with Empress Ambulance Service to distribute the vaccine to homebound seniors who are at least 65 years old.
The statistical trends for cases continued to be good in Westchester over the past week. As of Mondays dashboard update, active cases were at 5,038, down from a peak of 11,500 in early January. But after rising by 20 percent last week, active cases were up again in Rockland County, to 1,917 from 1,745 last Monday.
Westchester County teamed up with El Centro Hispano, a nonprofit social services organization in White Plains, to release a Spanish-language public service announcement urging residents to sign up for the vaccine when eligible.
All students in the Bedford Central School District will return to in-person learning five days a week starting on April 12 after a strong majority of parents supported the move in a recent survey. The decision was made late last week; on Monday, the district announced that a student at Bedford Village Elementary School had tested positive for COVID-19.

Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro told WAMC that several Democratic county executives called him with concerns after Cuomo vaccine czar Larry Schwartz asked about their loyalty towards his boss. Molinaro, the head of the County Executives Association and Cuomos general election opponent in 2018, also said he got a call from Schwartz, but did not describe anything untoward. Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan reported through a spokesman he had received a call from Schwartz after initially denying comment to the Daily Freeman. On Friday, Ryan joined a growing number of New York Democrats calling for Cuomo to resign.
Ulster Countys main vaccination site will move from Kingston High School to a larger location at the former Best Buy in the Hudson Valley Mall, according to the county executives office. The new location will open March 18 and be able to administer 2,500 vaccinations a day, joining a county site in Ellenville and popup sites throughout the county. The state is also preparing a mass vaccination site at the Ulster County Fairgrounds.
School can begin to fully reopen in Ulster County after getting approval from the Health Department on Thursday, though it will be each districts decision when and how to begin full in-person instruction. High rates of teacher vaccination and the limited spread of the virus during hybrid instruction were cited by the Health Department when making the decision.
Democrats in the Dutchess County Legislature introduced a resolution requiring the county to release more public health data on COVID-19. The countys health department would have to release data showing Covids impact in each town and city and on different demographic groups, in order to effectively target recovery, according to a press release by the Democratic minority. The county maintains a daily town-by-town breakdown of active cases, but otherwise does not provide municipal-level data.
Nine Orange County residents died of COVID-19 since Friday, County Executive Steve Neuhaus announced Monday, and the number of hospitalized residents ticked up, from 80 to 90, as well as the number of people on ventilators, which rose from 25 to 30.
The Columbia County Clerks Office, which also houses the county DMV, will remain shut until March 19 after seven staff members tested positive for COVID-19 last week.

Greene County has a prison COVID problem again: As of Mondays data, 31 of the countys 72 known active cases were in state-run correctional facilities.
Assemblyman Chris Tague recently got vaccinated at a clinic run by Schoharie County Public Health, and praised how county officials were handling the situation in the face of challenging direction coming from the state. Today's actions by Schoharie County Health Dept officials and local volunteers helped solidify my calling several times on the Governor and Dr. Zucker to get out of the way and stop micromanaging the vaccination process, Tague wrote in a Facebook post.
Health officials in both Delaware and Schoharie County, where there are no state-run vaccination sites and few local vaccine providers, said on Monday that they expect a new state-run mass vaccination site at SUNY Oneonta to launch later this week. Appointments at the site will be available through the New York State Am I Eligible site, or by calling the state vaccination hotline at 1-833-NYS-4-VAX.

Youth suicide. It's an issue that no parent ever wants to imagine could touch their lives.
But statistics prove that the unfortunate reality is that it does. Often unexpectedly.
The Washington State Department of Health's 2012 Healthy Youth Survey, released earlier this year, unveiled some surprising statistics when it comes to youth suicide. As part of the survey, students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 answered questions about safety and violence, physical activity and diet, alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, and related risk and protective factors.
Survey results indicated that since 2010, there had been a significant increase in students who seriously considered suicide in the past year — 17 percent in grades 8 and 12, and 19 percent in grade 10. Fourteen percent of students reported making a plan for how they would attempt suicide, this number represents another increase from the previous survey.
What may be most disturbing about the survey results is that one-third of students said they had no adult to turn to if they felt depressed or suicidal.
Parents undoubtedly want to support their kids in every way they can. From the time children are small and just starting to make their own decisions, moms and dads want to make all of the right decisions when it comes to dealing with difficult situations. But saying and doing the right thing is not always so cut-and-dry. This is particularly true as kids hit the middle school and high school years, when outside influences make even strong impacts on young peoples' lives and it becomes more and more difficult for parents to intuitively understand what teens may be thinking and feeling.
Among the solutions to this community issue is for adults to step forward and acknowledge the need for more education when it comes to understanding children. One such opportunity will occur on Wednesday, when Dr. James Mazza, a University of Washington expert on adolescent suicide, will host the free two-hour training.
Mazza will work with parents to help them understand youth suicide, recognize warning signs and help students who may be at risk.
The event, which is free to the public thanks to a grant from Camas-Washougal Community Chest, will be held from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Camas High School north commons area.
While the focus is often put on what youth are learning and understanding at school, sometimes it's the adults who can use some continuing education as well.

Welcome to the Blog Tour for A Tapestry of Light by Kimberly Duffy, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
Title: A Tapestry of Light
Author: Kimberly Duffy
Publisher: Bethany House Publishers
Release date: March 16, 2021
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Calcutta, 1886.
Ottilie Russell is adrift between two cultures, British and Indian, belonging to both and neither. In order to support her little brother, Thaddeus, and her grandmother, she relies upon her skills in beetle-wing embroidery that have been passed down to her through generations of Indian women.
When a stranger appears with the news that Thaddeus is now Baron Sunderson and must travel to England to take his place as a nobleman, Ottilie is shattered by the secrets that come to light. Despite her growing friendship with Everett Scott, friend to Ottilie's English grandmother and aunt, she refuses to give up her brother. Then tragedy strikes, and she is forced to make a decision that will take Thaddeus far from death and herself far from home.
But betrayal and loss lurk in England, too, and soon Ottilie must fight to ensure Thaddeus doesn't forget who he is, as well as find a way to stitch a place for herself in this foreign land.

Ottilie set her packages on the table beside the settee and drew the shawl from its wrapping. She carefully unfolded it and laid it over Mrs. Winship's lap. As Ottilie pulled the reticule free, she watched Mrs. Winship's fingers trace the intricate embroidery edging the ruffle, her nails catching the elytra splayed in a floral pattern.
"Your mother was quite good. How do I know she didn't do this work?"
Ottilie's brows rose. "You don't, I suppose, but why would I take on work I'm not qualified to do?" She held out the reticule.
Mrs. Winship didn't reach for it. She picked up the shawl and shoved it at Ottilie before leaning back against the settee. With an elegant yawn, she gave a wave. "I'm sure you're qualified, but I'm looking for something exceptional. Damaris is reaching an age where even our money won't be enough to turn a man's head. She needs to look spectacular. Especially with all those Fishing Fleet girls coming and stealing the Raj's best men." She pressed her fingers to her temples, and her eyes drifted shut. "It's a shame your mother is no longer here. I had something spectacular in mind."
"Mother!" Damaris's rebuke covered Ottilie's small gasp.
Ottilie focused on the paper-wrapped shoes she held in her arms. She didn't want to show this foreign woman the gift she'd made for the most precious person in Calcutta. Didn't want her pale fingers prodding the embroidery and picking apart the memories Ottilie had tucked away of hours snipping wings and beading thread and giggling in the lamplight, impatiently anticipating Maji's joy and pride and the sight of her small, perfectly arched foot slipping into something beautiful again.

I don't know about you guys, but I missed this Clippers team. You know, the one that won road games, that played big against good teams and embarrassed bad ones. During the four weeks that Chris Paul was hurt, aside from the first couple of games where adrenaline may have carried them to easy wins, we really hadn't seen anything like this. Now, it's not exactly a news flash that the Clippers are better with Chris Paul, that he's pretty important to the team. But seeing them dismantle the Knicks in New York and then utterly obliterate the Sixers in Philadelphia really brings it home. When Paul is playing and the team is clicking, things can get just nasty.
This game was not nearly as close as the final margin of 17 would indicate. The Sixers won the fourth quarter 31-19 making a bunch of long jump shots in a full 12 minutes of garbage time. The Clippers led by as many as 32 early in the fourth. Philadelphia coach Doug Collins, who has always stressed defense first, was completely beside himself at his team during the first 37 minutes of basketball that allowed the game to get so out of hand. The third quarter turned into something of a layup line for the Clippers, which of course in the case of the Clippers means a series of highlight reel dunks. In fact, we may have witnessed the NBA's first ever four point, all dunk possession, as Blake Griffin was fouled on a ridiculous left handed hammer jam, and then DeAndre Jordan cleaned up his free throw miss with a two-handed follow jam. Moments later Jordan followed a missed Paul three with a follow jam which started from half court as Paul was shooting. Somewhere along the lines the Philadelphia faithful stopped booing their own team and started cheering the playground exploits of the Clippers.
The usually stingy Philadelphia defense was picked apart by the Clippers, allowing them to get pretty much whatever shot they wanted, but they also made those shots. Paul was 9-11, 8-8 on his two point attempts. Jamal Crawford was 8-10 with three three pointers, his final miss coming on a pure heat check fading away in the corner with a hand in his face. Paul and Crawford combined to score 41 points on 21 shots, while making only three free throws. That's just nuts.
The Clippers did all of this damage with two starters sitting out, as both Caron Butler and Chauncey Billups took the night off with sore backs. The last four weeks serve to demonstrate a truism about depth. The Clippers clearly have very good depth, which can pretty easily absorb the loss of a Billups or a Butler. Willie Green, who would not have been off the bench until the fourth quarter had Billups been healthy, got the call just before game time that he was starting, and the Clippers didn't miss a beat. But the loss of a Chris Paul or a Blake Griffin is a different story. Those guys are difference-makers, and you can't just absorb the loss of a difference-maker.
We knew that the 7-9 record the Clippers posted from the Orlando game in which Paul was hurt through his first game back against Miami was not an accurate reflection of this team. But at the same time, it was enough to sow a little doubt about just how good they really were -- perhaps that 17 game winning streak was a little more flukey than we realized, maybe the perimeter defense or the lack of outside shooting was a bigger problem than we realized. But getting two impressive road wins the instant Paul returned to form goes a long way towards quieting those doubts. Chris Paul is really good. He's super important to the team. Without him they're not that great, but with him they are. It's not exactly rocket science as it turns out.
And as Ralph Lawler said during the broadcast, the Clippers will feel like they're running down hill the rest of the season. With this eight game roadie out of the way, the team has now played 25 home games and 29 road games. That leaves 16 of their final 28 at home, and 17 of them in STAPLES Center including the road game against the Lakers this Thursday. The have one nasty four games in five nights trip to Texas in late March, but that's the only time they play more than two road games in succession the rest of the season. And while they still have a back-to-back this Wednesday and Thursday before the All Star break, their 26 games after the break is the fewest in the league.
If they keep playing like they have been they'll take a four game winning streak into All Star weekend, and will be rested and well-positioned to make a run for a higher playoff seed after the break.

At the Coffee Hop
Whoo Hoo! The Summer Coffee Lovers bloghop!! I am brewing up a cup of Donut Shop Coconut coffee getting ready to be amazed by all the creativity I am about to see on the hop!
I have been in a rut using newsprint...but just used the last page of my magazine. I used embossing paste and stenciled it on newsprint. After it dried, I used Distress Paints, to color the stenciling. I stapmed the coffee cup on newsprint and colored some parts of it. A heart die cut works perfectly with the sentiment. A few pearls were added in the upper right part of the heart.
Supplies used:
STAMPlorations stamp and stencil
Tim Holtz die cut and distress paints

17 Aug Blogger's case could test the limits of political speech
Posted at 10:50h in Digest, Internet, IT 0 Comments
Internet radio host Hal Turner disliked how three federal judges rejected the National Rifle Association's attempt to overturn a pair of handgun bans.
"Let me be the first to say this plainly: These Judges deserve to be killed," Turner wrote on his blog on June 2, according to the FBI. "Their blood will replenish the tree of liberty. A small price to pay to assure freedom for millions."

text: Colorectal Cancer is the Second-Leading Cause of Cancer Death in Men and Women Combined PHOENIX (March 2, 2015)—March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and Arizona Oncology, a practice in The US Oncology Network, would like to remind both men and women to speak with their healthcare providers about getting screened for the disease. By finding cancer—or polyps that may become cancer—early, it is easier to treat and possibly cure.According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in men and women combined. It is estimated that approximately 132,700 new cases will be diagnosed in the United States this year, and nearly 49,700 people will lose their lives to the disease."The number of deaths from colorectal cancer continues to decline because of screenings, which detect polyps before they become cancer," says Arizona Oncology Medical Oncologist Michael Roberts, M.D. "We recommend anyone—men or women—age 50 and over receive screenings."In addition, Dr. Roberts and other oncologists at Arizona Oncology are examining patients who already have colorectal cancer for codons 12 and 13 of the KRAS gene through gene mutation testing, which predicts whether patients will respond to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapies. The KRAS gene is in the oncogenes class, and when mutated, oncogenes have the potential to cause normal cells to become cancerous.Dr. Roberts agrees with experts that in order to continue treating colorectal cancer, expanded RAS testing is needed. RAS is the name given to a subfamily of related proteins found inside cells, which, when overactive in signaling, can lead to cancer.Recommended testing:Tests that find polyps and cancerFlexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years*Colonoscopy every 10 yearsDouble-contrast barium enema every 5 years*CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every 5 years*Tests that mainly find cancerFecal occult blood test (FOBT) every year*,**Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) every year*,**Stool DNA test (sDNA), interval uncertain**Colonoscopy should be done if test results are positive. **For FOBT or FIT used as a screening test, the take-home multiple sample method should be used. An FOBT or FIT done during a digital rectal exam in the doctor's office is not adequate for screening.For people with certain risk factors, screening should begin earlier or be done more often. While the exact cause of colorectal cancer is unknown, factors increasing risk for the disease include:Age – chances of being diagnosed with colorectal cancer increase as a person gets olderFamily history – having close relatives with colorectal cancer increases a person's risk of developing the diseaseDiet – diets high in fat and low in calcium, folate and fiber may increase the riskEthnicity – Jews of Eastern European descent have a higher rate of colon cancerGenetic alterations – certain syndromes that involve family members having hundreds of polyps in their colon or rectum may make someone more likely to get colorectal cancerHistory of colorectal polyps – common in people over the age of 50, some growths on inner wall of colon or rectum can become cancerousSmoking – may increase risk of developing polyps and colorectal cancerAlcohol – heavy use of alcohol has been linked to the diseaseHistory of bowel disease – a disease called ulcerative colitis (Crohn's colitis) increases the risk of colon cancerLack of exercise – people who are not active have a higher risk of colorectal cancerOverweight – being very overweight increases a person's riskHaving a first degree relative such as a parent, sibling or child with colon cancer approximately doubles your personal risk for colon cancer. If you have a family history of colon cancer or a personal history of colon polyps, your doctor may recommend more frequent colonoscopies. In addition, there are certain inherited genetic syndromes that can increase the risk of colon cancer and other cancers. Talk with family members, and if there are multiple family members with colon and/or endometrial cancer, especially at a younger age, you should meet with a genetic counselor for a cancer risk assessment and possible genetic testing. Knowing your family history can be life-saving.Arizona Oncology plays a major role in helping people throughout the state and their families win their battle against colorectal cancer by providing easy access to a full range of advanced cancer care services in a setting that allows patients to remain close to their homes and their support network of family and friends.To learn more about screening and treatment of colorectal cancer at Arizona Oncology, visit ArizonaOncology.com or call 888-972-CURE.About Arizona OncologyArizona Oncology is one of the largest medical groups in Arizona.
