Cayden Kraus got the bears flying with the Bulldogs.
The soon-to-be 18-year-old has chipped in nine goals for Alberni Valley of the British Columbia Hockey League so far this season, but none have been more memorable than the one he scored most recently. Not only did the third-period tally help Kraus pass the eight goals he scored last season, but also unleashed a furry fury during the team's Teddy Bear Toss game on Dec. 11. The Whistler resident tallied the team's first and only goal in a 2-1 loss to the Wenatchee Wild as Port Alberni residents bombarded the ice with plush toys for local hospitals and seniors' centres.
"It was nice to be a part of that and see the town give back to the community," Kraus said, adding he was just shooting the puck in the direction of a crowded net hoping it would find daylight. Sure enough, it did.
It's been a season of steady progress for Kraus, who moved with his father to the resort two years ago.
"Being my second year, I'm building up my confidence even more each game," he said. "I'm learning more things every game and just getting better."
Kraus, who's originally from Winnipeg, has plenty of prairie elbow grease, which he brings to the coast. Though he stands just 5-10, he sees opponents regularly underrate him as he's not afraid to back down from players who might well tower over him.
"I'd say I'm a very gritty guy. Not many people like me when I play against them. I take pride in working hard and using my size to my advantage," he said.
Head coach Kevin Willison appreciates Kraus' adjustment from the Hockey Manitoba Program of Excellence to the BCHL.
"He made a great adjustment, especially for the size he is... but certainly plays a lot bigger than that," Willison said. "His role is energy. He's one of our hardest-working guys."
The Bulldogs are looking to climb out of a hole dug early in the season after winning just one game in October. They've been better since, and though they are in the Island Division basement, they are only five points behind the Nanaimo Clippers for the division's final playoff spot.
"Right now, nobody expects too much out of us, so that's something we can use to our advantage. We can be the underdog and come from behind," Kraus said.
"We're so young and it takes time to get used to the league and develop as a player," he added. "It took time and a lot of hard work.
Kraus noted that early in his BCHL career last season, he got to line up against Tyson Jost, Dante Fabbro and the rest of the Penticton Vees. Last June, both Jost and Fabbro were selected in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft in slots normally reserved for players from major junior leagues, American colleges or European programs. With puck dreams in mind, it was a boon for Kraus to line up against those high-pedigree players so soon.
"I learned my lessons pretty quick. I try to learn from players like that," he said.

Hey Guys,
As many of you will have already seen, I'm leaving MXS for near enough 2 years. So i thought i'd give you some stuff before i go.
Above is 6 tracks that i no longer have the time to finish so im handing them over to you, "the mxs community" to customize, finish and release as your own, apart from FatCat Motoparc. Me and BuddyTheElf have been making Fatcat for over a year as it is a local track and we've been trying to make it as close to the real thing as possible. Whoever takes over Fatcat, please take your time to finish it to a good standard and i would appreciate it if you could send me and BuddyTheElf regular updates. I may not respond to all updates via private messaging. BuddyTheElf might not either due to University but i will probably be able to get back to you about once a month. I couldn't care less what you do with the other tracks as long as you don't destroy them, throw some shit decals on it and release a pile of crap.
Anyway, apart from that, Thanks to:
JLV - For creating the Simulator that so addictive made me fail my science exam and the MXS editor i've used to create these tracks
BuddyTheElf - For the great editor tips he's told me as well as the awesome work he's put into FatCat
MotardMatt220 - For helping me with track designs as well as being an all around cool guy who never fails to make me feel physically sick with his jokes
JackLang#60 - For being an offensive, threatening Scottish lad who always tells me my tracks are shit and that im a loser.. And for testing my tracks and being funny as hell.
Braders756 - For making a sick edit for my track, giving good feedback and for always being there to ride sim with.
Stickerz - Providing the layout for Fatcat (even though its a bit out)
MrMX198 - Always asking about Fatcat and giving me the motivation to carry on
GregDearman - For always offering to make video edits and track objects.
Motoboss - For the objects he's created for MXS.
Haggqvist and Rafagas - For making me carry on making tracks until they're almost as good as theirs.

Owen Kay Garriott can trace his family back over several generations; notably on his father's side to French immigrant brothers who first set foot in the colonies in the late eighteenth century. "Most have been farmers, until my father's generation. No criminals or cattle thieves that I've been told about!''4
The future scientist-astronaut was born in Enid, Oklahoma, on 22 November
1930, the first child of Mary Catherine (nee Mellick) and Owen Garriott. While he was given his father's forename (he in turn had been named Owen after a much-admired local Welsh teacher), Kay was derived from an abbreviated form of his mother's middle name. Garriott speaks with tremendous pride of his forefathers in the days before Oklahoma achieved statehood in 1907, describing the way these rugged pioneers worked the land and ''lived in partial dugout homes for some period, until crops were grown and sold and some money became available.''
He also recalls being told how grandfather Garriott ''freighted goods and supplies by horse and wagon from the nearest railroad station to their small community store -a distance of some twenty miles. It took a full day each way. Seventy years later, as I approached Vance Air Force Base for a landing in my NASA T-38 aircraft, I travelled across my grandfather's tracks, but covered the same distance in about four minutes. In 1973, some eighty years after my grandfather's trips, I covered the same distance in orbit in only four seconds!''
Childhood recollections of growing up in Enid with his younger sister, Donna Jean, evoke pleasant memories, unclouded by the sprawling impact of the Depression. ''Perhaps this is because my father and most uncles always had jobs, and we never worried about material ownership. We played games, hiked with kids, and swam at the local pool, or occasionally in ponds. I had quite a few nearby cousins, friends and marvellous parents - very idyllic!'' If anything, he found elementary education in the Enid Public School system to be disappointingly easy, but nevertheless enjoyable. ''I still remember almost all my school teachers by name,'' he adds.
One teacher he particularly remembers from around eight years of age was Bessie Truitt, a poet laureate for the State of Oklahoma. ''In her third grade class she showed us a simple orrery, which was a word whose definition I did not learn for a good many more years. It's a device that has the whole planetary system in it, with the sun at the centre, then all the planets and the moons of the Earth and Jupiter and so on. You turn a little crank handle and they all rotate. To see how the solar system moved was a real awakening for me, and quite fascinating. When I moved into the fourth grade the next year, I was asked to go back to the third grade class and explain its operation to them, which I considered quite a privilege.''
His father, Owen, would also provide considerable inspiration. He held a Bachelor of Arts degree in geology, but when promised jobs in geology evaporated in 1930, he turned instead to his minor area of study for employment. For the next fourteen years, he worked as a chemist with Pillsbury Mills, and then spent a further thirty years as an oil and gasoline distributor. One evening in 1944, while the younger Owen was still in eighth grade, his father came home and mentioned that a friend at work would be teaching an adult class on radio theory, which involved instruction on electronics and how radios and transmitters worked. All this was in order for his father to become an amateur radio operator, more commonly known as a 'ham', so he asked his son if he would like to attend with him.
''I was pleased to participate in an adult activity with my father and we went to class three nights a week for four months or so. Next, we found that a 'code class' would be starting, so we both went to that together. When all this was finished we took our Federal Communications Commission (FCC) exam and we both passed, much to my father's relief!''
Due to existing war restrictions, ham radio operators were precluded at that time from on-air activities, but this situation would not last much longer. At the age of fifteen, Garriott was well on the path to his future, and he genuinely credits that study experience with his father as a major factor in his determination to enter the field of engineering.
After graduating from Enid High School in 1948, Garriott went to undergraduate school at the University of Oklahoma on a Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) scholarship, which paid about half of his college expenses. While still in high school, he had worked as a technician in the local radio station. The income from this work had been largely saved and would cover most of his remaining college education costs. Studies did not occupy all his time, however. After dating through their college years, he married his high school girlfriend Helen Mary Walker in 1952.
The following year, he was awarded his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering and then, because of the NROTC scholarship, he was obliged to serve in the United States Navy. During three years on active duty, he served as a line officer and electronics officer, and was stationed aboard several destroyers at sea. Garriott then returned to graduate school, this time at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, where he was selected to work as a research assistant in the Radio Propagation Laboratory with an eclectic group of ham radio operators, many of them faculty members.
By late 1957, Owen Garriott had completed his Master's degree in electrical engineering at the laboratory and was actively seeking an interesting research topic for his dissertation. On 4 October that year, the Soviet Union launched their first Sputnik satellite into orbit, so most of the graduate students and many of the professors in the laboratory converged on their field site, where a number of radio receivers and antennas had been set up for research purposes. Through this equipment, they were able to listen in unconcealed awe to the famous "beep-beep" signals emanating from the world's first artificial satellite. Very fortuitously this event, followed soon after by the launches of Sputnik II and III, handed Garriott his research topic on a platter.
"My dissertation used the radio signals from Sputnik III to study the electron content of the ionosphere. As these waves transverse the ionosphere some 300 to 400 kilometres above the Earth, various measurable effects were imposed upon them, such as a modified Doppler shift.'' Observation and interpretation of these changes formed the basis of his dissertation.
Having achieved his doctorate in electrical engineering in 1960, Garriott stayed on at Stanford, now as a member of the faculty involved in teaching electronics, electromagnetic theory, and ionospheric physics, as well as conducting his own research. At this time, he was honoured to receive a year-long National Science Foundation Fellowship at Cambridge University and the Radio Research Station, located at Slough in southern England, so the Garriott family took temporary leave of their American home.
By now, he and Helen had become proud parents to three of their eventual four children; Randall Owen, born on 29 March 1955, and Robert on 7 December 1956, with Richard patriotically arriving on 4 July 1961, albeit in England. Their daughter Linda would be born five years later, on 7 September 1966 after his selection by NASA, to complete the family. While they were living in England, Garriott was enthralled by the news that twenty-seven-year-old cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin from the Soviet Union had become the first human to fly into space. His epic flight was followed just three weeks later by that of American astronaut Alan Shepard.

Royal Salute
Dining as a mystical experience, a sacred act almost, in surrounding of very special objects––that kind of experience Royal Salute recreated in Hong Kong. The time-honoured British whisky brand set out to celebrate the alchemical origins of both whisky and porcelain at the Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences. Exquisite banquet with bespoke porcelain, specially made in Dehua, the home of white porcelain, designer cutlery and mystical symbols brought the distinguished guests into the era of the prominent alchemist John Dee.
Royal Salute took the inspiration from John Dee, who was a court alchemist to Queen Elizabeth I orchestrating the coronation that began her glorious reign. Over the past year, the brand launched several forward-thinking collaborations with leading British designers and artists, and Study in Porcelain became a creative and symbolic celebration of whisky's alchemic origins. The porcelain dinner will present an alchemic experience, the sensitivity of the lost art in a tour to UK, Russia and the US.
在一种特定的环境里,餐饮可以成为一种神秘而又神圣的体验,在香港的皇家礼炮(Royal Salute) 店里,你可以体会到这一种奇妙的感觉。这个历史悠久的英国威士忌品牌,在香港医学博物馆展现了它的威士忌与瓷器的发展之路。其中有定制的瓷器,其中包括白瓷鼻祖,德化瓷的创作。这些充满设计感和神秘感的器皿仿佛让观众置身于约翰·迪(John Dee)的炼金时代。

Our Mission
The mission of Stone Turtle restaurant stems from the passion all of us share for food, beverage, and giving our guests the best possible experience we can deliver. Chef Todd Bale runs a scratch kitchen making all food, sauces, and dressings in house. The focus of Stone Turtle's overall menu is an updated take on classic American pub fare. Owner Nick Funke's bar program offers a wide selection of affordably priced whiskies, specialty cocktails, grower producer wines, and craft beers. Please come and visit us soon. We would love to see you!
The buratta salad is heaven and I want the recipe to the salad dressing so I can have it in my daily life for lunch. The macaroni and cheese makes me think naughty things, for real I'd lick the cast iron skillet.
Andrea J. | Yelp Review
About Us
When we set out to create Stone Turtle, we wanted to bring a bar with a focus on whiskey as well as a sit-down restaurant to the Dogtown area. We ended up with a high quality American gastropub offering customers dinner, lunch, brunch, and an old fashioned happy hour. Stone Turtle is purposefully half restaurant and half bar both as a physical space and as our overall concept.
With the bar, we emphasize smaller and lesser-known distillers, vintners, and brewers with a large assortment of spirits, wines, beers, and more. With the restaurant, we are elevating food options as we believe customers will appreciate the quality and reasonable prices we offer. Finally, we want to be distinctive while being a great fit for Dogtown. We look forward to you visiting!
Nick Funke
Nick Funke, Stone Turtle's principal owner and general manager, started working in the restaurant industry as an intern to chef Michael Johnson in his hometown of St. Louis at age 18. Like many a St. Louisan, he left for college (and obtained a degree in Mathematical Economics from Pomona). After a brief period in corporate finance, Nick returned to his passion of restaurants and bars, working in different positions in restaurants in St. Louis.
The St. Louis native has worked in the business for many years, from Barcelona and Flaco's Cocina in town, to several restaurants in New York City, where he moved to in 2009 to continue to advance his knowledge of the overall hospitality industry (as far as increasing sales and profitability while maintaining a highly-trained staff).
In New York, he worked for Casa la Femme for 2 years, becoming an Assistant Manager and Captain. Afterwards, he moved to Osteria Cotta, working his way up to General Manager. Over his last 5 years, Nick managed Osteria Cotta and two of its sister restaurants, including opening the 6700 square foot restaurant and gastropub, Carroll Place.
Nick moved back to St. Louis in 2016 determined to open a restaurant of his own and reached out to his former colleague, Maz Nooran, to be part of the project. Maz Nooran, who owned Momo's Greek Restaurant and Flaco's Cocina, liked Funke's ideas, and the two paired up with Adam Tanksley to realize their vision for Stone Turtle.

Is the Miniso wireless speaker worth it?/
It's no secret: I have a thing for speakers and wireless technology. If I could, I would have everything cordless or wireless. While the joys of not having to charge wired speakers or headphones is always a plus point, not having the mass of tangles is also a major plus point.
I saw the Miniso wireless speaker in the shops about 4 months ago, but they only had the instore demo left and while it was quite loud in the store, I wasn't in the mood to buy a used speaker just because it piqued my interest. Imagine my delight when I saw they got them back into stock about three weeks ago.
The speakers are very reasonably priced under R400. While they are not the smallest wireless speakers I have seen in the portable market, they are also by far not the biggest portable wireless speaker that I have come across. The polaroid speaker next to our tv is about 15x bigger and is also considered portable.
The speaker connects to your phone or a pc via Bluetooth. It does have aux cable connector, so you can plug connect non-Bluetooth devices as well. It has a built-in microphone, so if it's on your desk when you're playing Spotify and you get a call, you can easily answer the phone. You might not what to use this in an open plan office but rather in a home office, your living room, bathroom, or wherever you want to listen to music.
The sound is actually really good for how cheap this speaker is. The bass isn't crazy and won't overpower your music and the high notes don't sound tinny. I have heard speakers worth more than triple that have worse sound.
The battery on this device is super impressive. I left it on for a whole day and the next morning the battery was still going strong, so its standby time is remarkable. I had it running music for over 6 hours and the battery was still going live and playing my music comfortably.
The downside is the voice when you switch the device on is clearly badly programmed but it is fairly easy to follow the instructions. The speaker also comes in a mint green, this could be tricky since not everyone wants a pastel coloured speaker.
Would I recommend you consider buying the speaker? Yes, but only if the colours work for you.

A Chocolate Industries' ambitious '02 hip-hop compilation Urban Renewal Program included major-motion-picture Mos Def, indie-flicks El-P and Aesop Rock, and foreign-film Miho Hatori (formerly of Cibbo Matto), amongst a credited cast of others. "Wylin' Out," the album's first 12-inch single, featured Mos Def alongside the Windy City's new son, Diverse, both spitting to a patchwork production piece by Prefuse 73. Diverse would show up in the liner notes again a year later on Prefuse's opus, One Word Extinguisher, vocalizing distaste for pop-star prefabs on "Plastic."
With the sliding glass door into the house of indie hip-hop open, Diverse gathered an elite production team of Prefuse, RJD2 and Madlib for his inaugural ball of wax. With such superfriends, a legitimate newbie was also legitimate-by-association. Released in January, Diverse's One A.M. is a Windy City wake-up call, rousing sleepyheads like a tambourine played to the pitter-patter percussion on the window panes of Chi-Town.
To wit: the moniker Diverse certainly reflects his ability to adapt to the trio's emotive production. He maintains both reason and rhyme, and doesn't allow the poetic aspect of emceeing to be hindered by singsong tangents. In a world where subjectivity runs rampant on objectivity, the elusive goal of the songwriter is to be tangible as can be, and Diverse is candid with the appropriate tone, detail-oriented and universal to boot.
Chocolate Industries knows there's one sure-fire way to differentiate "artist" and "product" to an ADHD audience: vinyl. Keeping an artist in the psyche of any demographic is an art unto itself-one that Chocolate mastered by strategically dispersing One A.M. 12-inches b/w previously unreleased tracks (e.g., "Big Game" b/w "Die Slow" and "Jus Biz" b/w "Beyond Beyond"). The tact has made Diverse collectible out of the gates; even more important, it's kept him on the vinyl new release rack. Catering to the DJ like a Fat Jack album, the instrumental version of One A.M. is even available on two long-players.
The transition from boom box to stage too often dilutes the message and/or energy. However, Diverse is an innately entertaining and spontaneous b-boy, and that translates into a dynamic experience for red-eyed crate diggers. He moves the crowd literally and figuratively, figuring a fine-tuned literacy into fine tunes. BDiverse plays with Lifesavas and X-Clan Mil Cypher feat. Brother J at the Casbah, 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 5. $10. 619-232-HELL.

Hear the new album by Little Wings & Maher Shalal Hash Baz
August 2018
Called Share, the record's a trans-Pacific split LP initiated by Arizona's Moone imprint
|Little Wings "Old Wind"
|Little Wings "Arco Iris"
|Maher Shalal Hash Baz "Mousou Tokkyu"
|Maher Shalal Hash Baz "Sorewo Yamereba"
|Maher Shalal Hash Baz "Switch Back"
|Maher Shalal Hash Baz "These Days"
|Maher Shalal Hash Baz "Too Many Wives"
Maher Shalal Hash Baz and Little Wings' split LP Share brings together two highly idiosyncratic Japanese and US musicians. "We recently started working with Kyle Field post meeting in Phoenix while he was on tour with Big Thief," says Moone's Caleb Dailey. "Simultaneously, we have been working on multiple projects with [Maher Shalal Hash Baz leader] Tori Kudo over the past year. People who are aware of them both know that there isn't anyone quite like either of them. They have singular musical visions and expression. We've been listening to them side by side for years and saw a unique connection between them long ago. With our newly formed friendships, we had the opportunity to help bring together the collaboration."
Japanese musician Kudo and North American folk singer Field are both prolific recording artists in their own respective DIY scenes. As well as heading Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Kudo has performed with Ché-SHIZU alongside erhu player Chie Mukai, and in the 1990s he led the experimental rock group Guys & Dolls, among many other projects. The California based Field formed the band Little Wings in the late 1990s and was also a member of Rodriguez, along with M Ward.
Little Wings & Maher Shalal Hash Baz's Share is released in LP and download formats by Moone Records on 21 August. It is now available to pre-order

Of the many dangerous trends in the 2016 election, the revolt against free trade that has captured both parties could do the most long-term damage. That's because protectionism would undermine future growth of the U.S. economy and subvert America's role as global leader.Globalization has undeniably hurt some American workers and cost some manufacturing jobs. But there's strong evidence that trade has benefited the U.S. economy and created whole new industries in which America is dominant. In a new paper published by the Peterson Institute for International Economics, Robert Z. Lawrence and Tyler Moran estimate that between 2017 and 2026, when TPP would have its major impact, the costs to displaced workers would be 6 percent of the benefits to the economy – or an 18-to-1 benefit-to-cost ratio.Even economists who think free trade has harmed U.S. manufacturing see benefits in the TPP. The number of U.S. executives who plan to add production capacity at home has increased by about 250 percent since 2012, according to BCG.

Very Disappointed in this product
I'm really quite shocked at how poor this product is? At first it looks really useful however the paid for services don't really seem to offer much extra.
Other platforms whom you are competing with offer PPT importing so you can improve what you already have rather than waste time redeveloping teaching materials.
I've just signed up for Voki Presenter and seem to have been mislead as I can only produce a 60 second Vokis and not a 90 second ones as clearly advertised and I am unable to add two Voki's onto a slide as advertised. Rather than lodge a miss selling complaint to PayPal I've simply cancelled my subscription.
However if I'm paying surely the 90 second limit is a joke right? I'd expect at least 5 minutes, and to suggest we can add several Voki's onto a slide to create an unlimited audio feed.....have you guys any idea how the mind of a learner works? We're trying to exceed expectations here, having several Voki's in a row would give such a poor end result.
Not being able to download is also a serious failing in the system. Are we now assuming all learners have access to wifi 24/7. That's quite a radical assumption and one that fails learners from poorer backgrounds.
I've tested this on an iPhone with Safari and IOS8. The slide background is displayed however the Voki will not appear. I would have expected in 2015 a paid for service to be IOS compatible??
I think for me to further consider this product the developers need to accept that in business products must be designed around the end user and not the assumptions of the development team.
Please do not take offence to my comments, my tone represents my frustration at the time wasted in trialing this product. My hope is that you will use my comments constructively and look to develop a product that is suitable for your target audience.
embed code not working
The embed code no longer works for my Voki's. We embed them in our learning management system. We had no issues prior to the change. Please advise. http://www.voki.com/site/pickup?scid=12549550&width=575&height=323&chsm=30962203c23a6f66cea6c2dce355f9e5

I do not recommend the purchase of a Voki membership. Though I commend the creativity and innovation behind a presentation platform that incorporates avatars, the execution is (at best) inadequate. I've reached out to the company through numerous emails a
I believe all problems you reported have been addressed.
Please let me know if you still experience any problem.

now i can translate text to speach 600 words when i will buy it hen when word i can convert text to speach
Voki Presentation does not load
good afternoon, thank you for responding ,anytime I press the link it loads forever and never previews.
Hi Beverly -
Our engineers have determined that one of the images you used (one of the nvidia logos) exposed a problem in our presentation format.
We believe the problem was due to entering the image data as text in the URL field.
Instead - please add select image as a file from your desktop.
I attached the same image as a png file - download it to your computer, and add it to your presentation and it will work fine.
The two presentations that you already created will have to be recreated I'm afraid.
Let me know if you still see a problem.
Best regards,

Way back when (well, in November 2004), Mark and I were sat outside the Cercle cafe opposite the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris drinking wine. This was during the months I spent as a student in Paris, Mark was over to visit and so we'd gone for a bit of an evening out. A friend of mine lived just around the corner, so we used to frequent this area and this cafe in particular because it did nice soupe à l'oignon with tons of bread and cheese for a reasonable price.
As we sat there, an american lady walked past, turned to us, and said, loudly and excitedly, "ARE YOU HONEYMOONERS?!". No, we replied. But ever since that day, we agreed that in the event we were ever honeymooners, we would go and sit outside the Cercle again, drink wine, and see if she walked past again.
And so, almost 12 years later, there we were. Sadly, the lady did not reappear, but we nevertheless had a nice glass of wine.
Otherwise, Paris was its usual marvellous self for the one and a half days we stayed there. I have spent more time in Paris and know it better than most cities in the UK, so it's always nice to be back. We arrived on rather a wet Sunday night, but the Bistrot du Peintre, just up the road from our regular hotel, kept us warm and fed and well wined, before a break in the rain just long enough for a walk down the Seine to Notre Dame.
Monday began with much better weather, and we headed over to my favourite cafe in a backstreet in the Marais for a croissant, coffee and an orange juice. Some ambling around Rue des Rosiers and Place des Vosges was followed by falafel for lunch, a metro trip and some more ambling around the Latin Quarter, Boulevard St Germain and the aforementioned Jardins du Luxembourg. I bought Poirot novels in French for 50 cents, which some days later into the honeymoon turned out to be a good call when I almost ran out of books.
In the evening, we returned to one of my all time favourite places to eat in the whole world, Chez Imogène, for galettes and crêpes, followed by a trip to the Eiffel Tower, where we sat on the grass and watched the sun set and the lights twinkle. A trip to the bright lights of Montmartre and Pigalle followed that, before we realised the time, remembered we had to be up at 6am the next day for our flight to Italy, and sensibly retired to our bed!

It was the only company that came out to personally meet me when i was home and review the situation. Steve Reis came to my house ,spent time on the roof with me and made some suggestions that made
sense.When the time came to do the job, Steve and his guys were professional, friendly and cleaned up thoroughly. During the work, Steve again spent time on the roof with me to show me what he found,how the area was failing and how he was fixing it. I am happy I chose Supreme Roofing.

Additional Information
|1 lbs
These CNC brackets are meant to house a Digital Hall sensor to give a cleaner "square" wave digital signal to your ECU. The OEM ABS sensors on the MKIV are a magnetic sensor which tend to drop out and give incorrect wheel speed information to your ECU. These changes can cause a misread in traction control, gear position, rpm limit, and boost control depending on your tune. With a Digital Hall sensor you will always have a crisp clean reading even at the lowest speed to give your ECU the most accurate information at all times. No more ground or drive speed drop outs!

Let me start with Thanks.
Last week I asked for your feedback and input on data sources in the areas of wine and food tourism, in advance of the keynote I'm giving in a few weeks in Cape Town. And boy, did you deliver! It's incredibly exciting to flesh out the presentation with hands-on learnings from fresh sources and efforts in parts of the world that, frankly, were brand new to me.
So thank you, sincerely.
That example sets the stage perfectly for what I'd like to focus on this week, and it has to do with collaboration.
If we didn't collaborate, we wouldn't have a reason to exist.
That's because the true definition of a big data company is to aggregate multiple sources of data across multiple platforms. For us that means building out an ecosystem of data partners who each deliver raw data that's useful for our clients. In some cases it's a winery's own data that's one of the sources.
As I said, it's about collaboration.
In practice, and in a very simplified sense, this is how it works.
Listen to the client. Understand intimately the area of research.
Draft a scope of work.
Iterate the scope, from both sides, in order to extract maximum value and to clarify expectations.
Execute the scope of work.
Enolytics delivers the results, via Webinar or in person
Give the client time to process the results, within their own framework for business and at their own pace.
Client asks follow up questions.
Enolytics responds.
Repeat steps 7 and 8 till the area of scoped research is well understood.
Want to see how this looks, from the perspective of our clients? Please have a look at our revised Press page for their opinions in their own words.
Here's what's important to understand: Collaboration isn't a one-time interaction. It's a partnership, back and forth, over a fairly long period of time with a lot of touchpoints.
Yes, we'll get to know each other personally. Yes, we'll explore ideas that will be new on all sides. And yes, both of our businesses will grow in the process.
How can we help you grow? What ideas have been percolating, that you're ready to move on?
We're here and ready to respond, collaboratively.
Thank you, again, for your help and thank you, as always, for reading.

So, I stopped drinking coffee for about 2-3 months, but I was really itchin' to practice urban sketching at a coffee shop. There's something about cafes/coffee shops that puts me at ease, and I knew I wanted to check one out to get me back into the groove of urban sketching. San Diego's coffee culture has been growing (and no I'm not talking about Starbucks or Coffee Bean.) SD offers a plethora of different handcrafted coffee in various locations. Most specialize in pour overs, cold brew, french press, etc.
My friend and I decided to try out this spot on India St. called James Coffee Co. I instantly fell in love because of the industrial, old-fashioned vibe. It's definitely 'hipster' but I must admit I have a soft spot for. It's in a huge, open air space warehouse. Even with the huge "Coffee" sign on the side walk, the place looked a bit confusing at first because the entrance has a couple of hip boutique shops leading the way to their coffee stand. Towards the back end on the right hand side is a barber shop.
(Sketched in Leuchtturm pocket sketchbook)
I got their (hot) Chai Latte and it was the right temperature for me. The chai wasn't overpowering and I thought the flavors were perfect. I was just a bit sad that I didn't get any fancy latte art. lol.
Anyway, onto the urban sketching part of this adventure. I felt quite rusty in the beginning. Drawing people in motion is going to take me a while to get used to. I kept erasing and was quite frustrated but once I finally got the sketch down (which is usually always the longest part for me) everything else went smoothly. I love that I decided to go the simple route with watercolor. I literally just let my hand do the quick strokes, I don't think about it all that much. And the icing on the cake for is always the inking. It brings the whole illustration to life!
I can't wait for more urban sketch adventures! I didn't film this trip and drawing process because today was my warmup, lol. But I hope you all enjoyed this :)

For all their championship trophies and MVP awards, professional sports in America reward their fair share of incompetent teams, too.
Case in point: In 2012, the New Orleans Hornets (as the Pelicans were known at the time) finished with the worst record in the Western Conference. As a reward for their ineptitude, the franchise earned a place in the NBA Draft Lottery. When the drawing was held, New Orleans was awarded the first pick in the 2012 draft, which yielded the consensus budding superstar Anthony Davis.
So far, so good. The system worked, making a bad team better and giving suffering fans hope. The draft lottery sells another all-American fable, the rags-to-riches story. There's just one problem with the narrative: teams bad enough to land in the lottery tend to stay bad, or at least fail to improve to championship level.
Read More: The Aging Of LeBron James: Why It's All Downhill Once NBA Players Turn 30
Again, consider Davis. All No. 1 selections are hyped, but unlike some of his top-pick peers, Davis deserved his accolades. As a freshman, he led the Kentucky Wildcats to the NCAA Division I-A men's basketball championship. Along the way, Davis was named the Final Four Outstanding Player, the AP Player of the Year, and won the Naismith and Wooden awards.
Davis didn't just show up and collect a bunch of trophies. He was amazingly productive. Given the data tracked in a standard box score, the wins a basketball player produces can be accurately measured. From 2002-03 to 2014-15, no player has produced more wins in a single season than the 13.0 Davis did for Kentucky in 2011-12.
Of course, college performance doesn't always predict professional productivity. In Davis's case, however, what we saw at Kentucky was a very good indicator of what was to come with the Pelicans. Davis started the 2012-13 NBA season as a 19-year-old rookie. NBA player performance tends to peak around age 26; in other words, 19-year-olds tend to be bad.
Not Davis. He produced 8.1 wins for the Pelicans during his rookie campaign. The next season, he was even better. Last year, he produced 15.2 wins for New Orleans.
Over his first three NBA seasons, Davis produced a total 35.0 wins. To put that in perspective, here is what every top pick produced his first three years since the draft lottery began, in 1985 (Wins Produced numbers from BoxScore Geeks):First Overall PickYear DraftedWP After 3 YearsMinutesWP48Anthony Davis20123566610.252Kyrie Irving20111461020.11John Wall20101465960.102Blake Griffin200926.380990.156Derrick Rose200821.688960.117Greg Oden20077.418160.196Andrea Bargnani2006-7.55943-0.061Andrew Bogut200518.971490.127Dwight Howard200440.384450.229LeBron James200336.396540.18Yao Ming200226.475220.168Kwame Brown20017.648310.076Kenyon Martin20006.474040.041Elton Brand199933.262260.256Michael Olowokandi1998-5.35899-0.043Tim Duncan199735.780420.213Allen Iverson199613.481850.079Joe Smith19955.575520.035Glenn Robinson19946.693210.034Chris Webber199318.850630.178Shaquille O'Neal199249.792180.259Larry Johnson199124.981270.147Derrick Coleman199022.875680.145Pervis Ellison198916.853190.152Danny Manning198811.954160.105David Robinson198720.630020.329Brad Daugherty198620.584450.117Patrick Ewing198515.465230.113AVERAGE19.26893.70.134
Only Dwight Howard, LeBron James, Tim Duncan, and Shaquille O'Neal produced more wins than Davis over their first three years. Pretty good company. Moreover, Davis didn't play as many minutes as the average No. 1 pick. If you consider what Davis did per 48 minutes—his WP48 number—we see that his mark of 0.252 was bested only by O'Neal and David Robinson.
Another way to look at the numbers? Given that the average NBA team wins 0.500 games per 48 minutes, the average NBA player produces 0.100 wins per that same span. Meanwhile, the average No. 1 draft pick has a WP48 of 0.134 in his first three years—only a bit better than average. Davis's mark is nearly double that. So the Pelicans didn't get average. They got one of the best top picks in the past 30 years, most definitely winning the lottery.
Like lottery winners in general, however, they've largely failed to capitalize.
In Davis's first three years, the Pelicans made the playoffs once, and haven't won a postseason game. This isn't Davis's fault; the year before he arrived, New Orleans won 21 games. Subtract the wins Davis has produced from the team's subsequent win totals for each season, and here's what you're left with:
2012-13: 18.9 wins without Davis
2013-14: 22.3 wins without Davis
2014-15: 29.8 wins without Davis
The Pelicans won 21 games without Davis in 2011-12 and didn't do much better without him the three seasons after that, averaging just 23.7 wins from all players not named Anthony Davis. Essentially, New Orleans added Davis to a lottery team, and hasn't done much else since.
This is not exactly uncommon. NBA teams build a title contender around their No. 1 pick less often than you might assume. Here's a list of all the franchises to do that since 1985:
1. San Antonio
The Spurs won a title with both Robinson and Tim Duncan in 1999, and followed by titles with just Duncan in 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2014. And that's it. In fact, since 1985, O'Neal and James are the only No. 1 picks to have been the key player on any title team, let alone for the franchises that drafted them. (Andrew Bogut did win a title with Golden State last year, but Stephen Curry was the league MVP and clearly the Warriors' key player.)
So here's the real lesson of winning the No. 1 pick: be good enough avoid it. Currently, fans of lousy teams are taught that if their favorite club just sucks enough, the lottery gods will smile, and happiness will be their future reward. Lottery teams exist for a reason, though. Teams lose because they can't find enough talent to win. Adding one great player to a team with little else won't produce a title contender.
What ends up happening? Those singular talents eventually get tired of mediocrity, and takes said talents elsewhere. Once that happens, lottery teams are back in the lottery.
Luckily for the New Orleans, Davis signed a five-year contract with the Pelicans this past summer. Unluckily for Davis, the Pelicans also signed three additional players on the same day: Omer Asik, Alexis Ajinca, and Dante Cunningham.
Here's how GM Dell Demps announced these moves:
"We are thrilled to have Anthony commit to the Pelicans as we continue to build our team to have sustained success. The Pelicans are proud to welcome the return of Omer, Alexis and Dante to our team. All three players were key contributors on our team last season. We are happy all three players elected to return and continue our quest to become an elite team in the NBA."
And here is what those three players did in 2014-15:
Omer Asik: 7.3 Wins Produced, 0.176 WP48
Alexis Ajinca: 2.5 Wins Produced, 0.125 WP48
Dante Cunningham: 2.4 Wins Produced, 0.07 WP48
Are these really the key players the Pelicans need? Well, Asik has certainly been an above average player. History tells us that Ajinca and Cunningham are not: Ajinca was never above average in five seasons before last year, and Cunningham has been consistently below average in his career. Demps, the person charged with building this "elite team," should know that. But does he?
New Orleans is struggling this season, having suffered a number of injuries early on; while the team should improve with better health, the larger problem of surrounding Davis with sufficient supporting talent remains unsolved. If the Pelicans can't get that right, their erstwhile savior likely will bolt at the end of his current contract. And New Orleans will be right back where it started in the lottery, failing sideways instead of up, rags to riches to rags.

No First-Date Jitters? Audition Passed
Bridget Leigh Carroll and Timothy Peter Brennan were married Saturday at the Horizon Hotel in Palm Springs, Calif. Randy Philips, an uncle of the bride who became a Universal Life minister for the event, officiated.
The bride, 32, is a production manager at Blind, a design, animation and production firm in Santa Monica, Calif. She graduated from New York University.
She is a daughter of Lisa Webb Carroll of Thousand Oaks, Calif., and Lawrence Carroll of Venice, and a stepdaughter of Lucy J. Carroll. The bride's father is a painter whose works are in the permanent collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. Her mother is an executive assistant at Amgen, a biotechnology company in Thousand Oaks.
The groom, 34, is an owner of BrennanMoyMedia, a technology business in Brooklyn that develops smartphone applications. He works from Los Angeles. He graduated from Emerson College. He is the son of Lenora A. Brennan and John J. Brennan of Brooklyn. His mother is an independent fund-raising consultant. His father retired as a vice president of Chanel in Manhattan, overseeing the operations of the company's retail stores in United States.
The couple met in December 2007 through a mutual friend. Mr. Brennan went to see the friend perform at the Upright Citizens Brigade, an improv theater in New York. Ms. Carroll was also in the show. "She was funny," he said. "And she has this striking red hair."
Afterward, Mr. Brennan went to the Peter McManus Cafe in Chelsea, the unofficial post-show hangout of the Brigade's performers and writers. Ms. Carroll was there, too, but at the other end of a long table. He found a seat next to her. "He was charming and confident, and I liked that he was not afraid to approach me," she said. They discussed their love of the movies, and each was impressed by the other's sense of humor. Mr. Brennan asked her out to dinner, a move that Ms. Carroll also found brave. On that first date, the conversation was easy. And Mr. Brennan, surprised by the lack of first-date jitters, proclaimed, "Well, this isn't awkward." MARGAUX LASKEY

Charlotte broker pleads guilty to securities fraud
COLUMBIA -- A former securities broker pleaded guilty Friday to eight counts of securities fraud for his role in the bankruptcy of the Thaxton Group, according to state Attorney General Henry McMaster's office.
James Garrett Jr. of Charlotte, N.C., was sentenced a short time later to eight years in prison, suspended to five years probation, on each of the counts. Circuit Judge Daniel Pieper also ordered Garrett to pay more than $75,000 in restitution, McMaster's spokesman Mark Plowden said.
Garrett was president of the subsidiary Thaxton Securities. When the Thaxton Group filed for bankruptcy in October 2003, more than 6,800 investors lost $120 million. About 1,500 South Carolina residents account for about $50 million of that loss.
The indictments filed against Garrett in 2005 said many of those investors lost their money because of Garrett's actions.

When I was younger, I was extremely shy. As I progressed through my secondary education I became a social butterfly. That's what my teachers told my parents at conferences. My dad would tell me, "you are in school to learn, not to socialize!" But, talking to people got me through that long day of learning the algebraic method, and the periodic table. Socializing was very necessary for me. I considered myself more extroverted, but still reserved around newcomers or in a group setting.
As I've gotten older, I appreciate conversations with substance and more meaningful relationships. This made me question my extrovertedness (yep, made that word up). After reading Susan Cain's book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, I identified with outgoing introverts, also known as ambiverts. Many people identify with this personality type. A common misconception about introverts is that they are anti-social or socially awkward, when in fact we just prefer to socialize on our own accord.
How do you identify your personality?
I found this top at an online t-shirt store by the name of iloveapparel. When I saw this shirt I immediately thought, "that shirt is so me!" The price point was reasonable and the quality was good. I also ordered my husband a super cute shirt and a pair of socks. My skort (skirt/shorts) is BCBG and my shoes are Nike.

Marsha Ryder's Reviews on CBHarper
February 25, 2018 - R. H. Dolson - When I moved here in May/June of 2011 because of a military assignment, I enlisted the aid of Marsha Ryder to help me find the perfect home. Unbeknownst to Marsha, I was going to be a difficult client...my required features had to be met before I would sign on the dotted line. Marsha put up with my "demands" and showed me close to 100 homes (ones I picked from the listings she sent)...seriously 100 homes from Leon Springs to Garden Ridge to Cibolo to Seguin to San Antonio proper (ALL over San Antonio) to Schertz. I FINALLY found one that met my needs and wants. Six years later, after retiring from the military, thinking San Antonio will be my forever home, and realizing my "needs and wants" for a home have changed due to upcoming familial circumstances, I've requested Marsha to be on the look out for homes that have my "new" required features. I'm sure she probably let out a huge sigh before agreeing to work with me again, but I'm glad she did. She's very personable, responsive and willing to go the extra mile to help find the perfect home. I recommend Marsha to anyone moving to the San Antonio area--and to anyone that just wants to move within the area surrounding San Antonio; she won't disappoint.
July 1, 2016 - G. Eddy - Marsha was patient and helpful throughout out our search, which was over a year in an effort to find the right house in the right neighborhood that my wife and I could agree on!
November 15, 2015 - M. Robertson - Marsha was attentive compassionate and listened to our needs.she went above and beyond literally for us. We not only found our home but made a good friend.

No methods can be done to increase your lung capacity or size of the lungs. But this doesn't mean that everything is closed pertaining to this. There are of course some alternatives that you can do to help in improving the power of your lungs, and somewhat increase its capacity as follows:
Having an excellent lung capacity is great for singers, athletes, etc., and at the same time, a means of preventing diseases, so, that would be beneficial for your pulmonary functions.
Table of Contents
Step 1: Cardiovascular Exercises
First, you have to consider performing cardiovascular exercises to strengthen and make your cardiovascular function properly and efficiently. Some of the activities involved in these forms of exercises that you need to perform regularly are walking, jogging or running, aerobic exercise, skating, cycling, skiing, dancing, swimming and rowing.
However, you should not engage in over-exercising lest you might strain your muscles or experience other physical injuries. These forms of exercises are great as its involve consistent movements of the big muscles that trigger a strong need for oxygen in your body. When you increase your breathing rate due to exercising, you are able to put more oxygen into your lungs and therefore, you are able to increase the capacity of your lungs to some extent.
Step 2: Breathing Exercises
Second, you can render breathing exercises as another form of increasing your lung capacity. This is one of the simplest ways of increasing your lung function by lying down and relaxing. You do this by taking a deep breath and holding it for at least 10 seconds before you exhale slowly. Repeating this process for about 20 to 30 minutes everyday can surely increase your lung capacity.
Breathing techniques such as "pranayama" which is a part of "yoga" can help expanding the capacity of your lungs and at the same time, a way to control your breathing. Another breathing method is called pursed lip breathing which provide benefits for your lungs by lying down in a relaxed mood while practicing this technique. Third way in increasing your lung capacity is by playing wind musical instruments.
Things like oboe, flute, tuba, saxophone, mouth organ and clarinet need an excellent lung capacity to play them with intricate music for a longer duration of time. When you have mastered playing these instruments, you can expect your lung capacity to increase, and you can also manage controlling your breathing ability. When you play these instruments, you need to employ breathing techniques that make use of the diaphragm while singing.
This will help you further, and in fact, you can also attain the same result in singing. So, if you're a professional singer, you can utilize singing to expand your lung capacity.
Step 3: High Altitude Training
Third, high altitude training can be instrumental and effectively become helpful lung capacity exercises.. A good example of this is the choice of some athletes to live in highly-elevated areas to train their lungs to develop more capacity. This is because oxygen level is lesser in higher altitudes compared to those areas at sea level.
So, to compensate for lack of oxygen, your body produces higher amount of hemoglobin and red blood cells. While singers aim to increase their lung capacity for singing purposes, you also need to increase your lung capacity even if you're not a singer in order to maintain excellent health.
Other Steps That You Can Adopt
Play Wind Instruments
Furthermore, you can use Wind instruments that are known to provide much help in this effort. These instruments include flute, oboe, tuba, saxophone, mouth organ and clarinet among others. The trick here is that since it requires an efficient lung capacity to play these instruments for a long time, then you'll be engrossed to do so without knowing that you're actually improve the air capacity of your lungs as you play intricate music in these instruments.
As you improve your skill in playing these types of musical instruments, you'll be amazed to find out that your lung capacity is also increasing. Eventually, you'll be able to develop your ability in controlling your breathing.
This method is essential in playing Wind instruments which can be of great help to you. If you are an aspiring singer, you can achieve the same result in no time by adopting this technique.
Take a Nutritious Diet and Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle
So far, many people agree that the most important factors needed to have a healthy life include taking a nutritious diet and a healthy lifestyle. In the case of diet, you should take foods that are rich in beta carotene, vitamins C and E, selenium and antioxidants among others.
For excellent results, eat whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, vegetable oil, wheat germ and nuts regularly. This kind of diet will not be good only to boost your career in music, but also protect your lungs from severe damage, especially if you are a chain-smoker.
To determine if your lung capacity is improving, you can hold your breath for some time, try to test how long you can hold your breath. The longer breath you can hold, the bigger your lung capacity is. Do it at least once a week to keep track of your progress.
