The trailer for season five of the Netflix sci-fi anthology series "Black Mirror" is here, and it indicates a return to its British roots.
Entertainment Weekly reported that the first look at the anthology drama announced a June 5 premiere. The fifth season will have three episodes, similar to its shorter seasons when it was a Channel 4 network show in the UK. More recent seasons since Netflix's acquisition have had six standalone episodes, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Big names appear in the trailer, indicating Anthony Mackie, Topher Grace and Miley Cyrus will have roles in the latest season. In one scene, Miley Cyrus appears to be a pop star, outfitted in a lavender bob wig and a tight white crop top and skirt.
Season five is the first new material from "Black Mirror" since the stand-alone interactive episode "Bandersnatch," which contained five-and-a-half hours of new footage.
The latest season promises to bring "three new stories about the future we should have seen coming."
Watch the season five trailer of "Black Mirror" below.

Driving Holidays: Canadian Rockies (Part 1)
Part One of my travelogue of our week-long-best-ever summer road trip in the Canadian Rockies, where the term "it's a pleasure to drive" takes a whole new meaning. We visited some of the best known sights of Banff, Yoho and Jasper National Parks, including the beautiful Lake Louise and Emerald Lake, as well as the Athabasca Glacier of the Columbia Icefield en route to Jasper.

Canada is well-endowed when it comes to natural wonders such as the Bay of Fundy – home of the highest tides in the world – in the Maritimes in eastern Canada and the gorgeous and world famous Niagara Falls in southeastern Ontario. There is no shortage of natural beauty in a country rich in its natural heritage.
The Rocky Mountains are another such natural wonder in Canada. The nearly 5000-kilometer long range covers parts of the western provinces of Alberta and British Columbia and stretches down to the United States. Several national parks have been established to protect the natural heritage, including Banff National Park, the first and therefore the oldest National Park in Canada.
The Road Trip
We planned our road trip to start and finish in Calgary by first driving west to Banff on the scenic Trans-Canada Highway and then making our way north to Jasper via Lake Louise and the beautiful town of Field. From Jasper we drove east to Edmonton (famous for what was once the largest mall in the world) and then completed the loop by driving back south to Calgary.
We had wanted to fly into Calgary and then fly out of Edmonton to avoid the boring 3-hour long drive from Edmonton to Calgary; however, car rental turns out to be twice as costly if the car is not returned at the location where it is rented from (even if it's in the same city, let alone another city)! Round-trip airfares are also cheaper than one-way fares.
Our week long road trip in the Rocky Mountains started with an early morning flight from Toronto to Calgary – the largest city in the province of Alberta. During the nearly 4-hour long flight, we watched the House of Games, a "hidden gem" that I had on my laptop. It was noon by the time we landed in Calgary – famous for steaks and the Calgary Stampede – and picked up our "Zoom-Zoom" rental car (Mazda 3) from Budget Car Rental's convenient airport location.
Due to their street naming convention, I had to be very careful driving in Downtown Calgary. Their naming convention was a number, followed by "Road" or "Avenue", followed by the direction. For example, "4 Ave SW" intersected with "4 St SW", and "3 Ave SW" and "4 Ave SW" were parallel. To make things more confusing, most roads were one-way only with traffic flowing on the even numbered roads in one direction and in the opposite direction on the odd numbered roads. Because the traffic was light it was easy to make a wrong turn and not even know it. And not just any wrong turn, but a potentially catastrophic one. I remember I made a right-turn somewhere and upon driving a hundred or so meters I noticed that the road signs and the traffic lights were facing the opposite direction. In the next moment I realized that if I don't turn around quickly I'm going to come face-to-face with the oncoming traffic since I was driving the wrong way on a one-way street!
Since our hotel's check-in time was rather late, we decided to get some lunch before heading to our hotel. We had purchased a Garmin 1350 GPS and used its 'Points of Interest' feature to look for some nearby Indian restaurants. The GPS took us on a long and scenic drive to the suburbs and before we knew it we ended up at a run-down plaza with no indication of the restaurant we were looking for! The nearest Indian restaurant from that plaza was another 20-km away, but we could no longer trust our GPS. Cursing the GPS, we found a Chinese restaurant on our own and had a sumptuous meal. Little did we know at the time that the GPS, which we were cursing now, would save our life later when we were lost on a hiking trail.
Our hotel, The Westin Calgary, was centrally located in downtown and close to the trendy Eau Claire neighbourhood. However, we learned that spending a Saturday night in downtown Calgary was not the best way to experience the city. With deserted streets and closed restaurants we were left scratching our heads on what to do and where to go. Unlike in Toronto, there hasn't been a boom in residential condominium projects in downtown Calgary, and as a result, the city center becomes a ghost town after office-hours when all office-goers go back to their suburban homes. The only saving grace about spending a weekend night in Calgary was the free street parking (after 6 PM on Saturdays and all day on Sundays) in this city known for its most expensive parking in Canada!
On Sunday afternoon, after checking-out of our hotel, we were in a mood for some Thai food and found one using our GPS. The restaurant wasn't difficult to find but finding a street parking spot was. It left me wondering where all those people were because the streets were almost devoid of people. As it turned out, the Thai restaurant was closed. We were shocked that it was closed on a Sunday afternoon!
The bums were out on full force that day so we quickly settled on Milestones, which was one of the few restaurants that were open. As we sat in the restaurant patio having delicious pasta and curry noodles, we saw a group of anti-China Vietnamese-Canadian protesters coming our way. They were protesting against the new "Imperialistic China", or rather, raising awareness of China's growing ambitions and military might. Apparently, China is claiming some islands in the South China Sea as their own, which belong to Vietnam. Then again, Vietnam is not the only country with whom the Chinese have a territorial sovereignty dispute…
Here are some photos of the protest, which I took while having lunch:
Drive to Banff National Park
The first glimpse of the Rocky Mountains range as we drove from Calgary to the town of Banff ignited an excitement that grew to no bounds. It was the first time we had seen a mountain range in Canada, even a hill for that matter! The constant clicking of photos was testament to that.
We passed the town of Canmore, which is located just outside the boundary of Banff National Park. Many visitors opt to stay in Canmore where it is possible to get much better value accommodation than staying in the town of Banff, which is located within the national park boundary. Apparently, new development has been frozen in Banff and as a result Canmore is developing rapidly as tourism and the resulting demand for hotels and restaurants increases. We found a somewhat good deal on Expedia for the Banff Caribou Lodge so we opted to stay in Banff, more for convenience than anything else. However, Canmore is only 25-kms from Banff.
The entrance to Banff National Park is a series of toll booths with a separate lane for pass holders. The park fees were the same for all the National Parks we were planning to visit and cost nearly $10 per person per day. We spent a small fortune (nearly a hundred dollars) on park fees alone between the two of us for five days!
Town of Banff – Gateway to Heaven
Depending on personal preferences, the town of Banff can be looked at as just a gateway to hiking in Banff National Park, or it can be looked at as a destination in itself – a place to unwind – in luxury – in the lap of mountains where the hour-hand on the clock simply ceases to exist. For us, it was a mix of both.
The check-in process at our pre-booked hotel, Banff Caribou Lodge, was smooth and hassle-free. Our room was fairly compact and the bathroom was one of the smallest I've ever seen in a hotel room. Our hotel was conveniently located on the main Banff Avenue and was walking distance to shopping and restaurants. After freshening up, we set out to explore the little town and grab a bite to eat.
For a small town, we were surprised to see its pedestrian-friendly downtown abuzz with tourists. There were no shortages of bars, fast food restaurants and flashy souvenir shops. There were also many restaurants serving tasty multi-ethnic cuisine such as Chinese, Greek, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Mexican, Tex-Mex and Thai. During our stay in Banff, we tickled our taste buds with Greek, Indian, Tex-Mex (American-Mexican) and Thai food. Unfortunately, we felt that the Indian restaurant, Masala Authentic Indian, was over-priced and far from authentic. The service also left much to be desired. I feel that many Indian restaurants take their Indian customers for granted. On the other hand, the food at Thai Grill was very tasty and offered excellent value for money – and as a bonus, the service was courteous – that's all we expect!
Of course, Banff being a popular tourist spot, there were plenty of souvenir shops. However, most of the souvenirs sold in these shops were overpriced and lacked authenticity and character. For the discerning eye, they were nothing more than cheap mass-produced "Made in China" crafts that can be found at almost any tourist place in Canada. I think a souvenir should be more than just where it is purchased. Probably the best souvenirs are locally-made and are something that is unique to that place; however, such things are hard to find in today's "Global Village".
For me, the memories of my experiences are my souvenirs.
Trans-Canada Highway: Curse or Blessing?
The roads and highways that cut across the Banff, Jasper, Yoho and other National and Provincial Parks are at once both, a blessing and a curse to the parks. Without the roads, it would be impossible to enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery from the comfort of our own vehicle. On the other hand, 99% of wildlife fatalities (statistics from Parks Canada), including grizzly bears and wolves – the top predators in the Rocky Mountains – are due to collisions with vehicles and trains. Roads through national parks are clearly doing a lot of harm.
The most disconcerting thing about the Trans-Canada highway is the way it divides the park with seemingly no way for wildlife to go across. The high fences along the highway help in preventing animals from becoming road-kill, but it also leaves the park tragically fragmented. Although we were certainly enjoying the breathtaking panoramic views from the comfort of our car as we drove on the highway, I kept wondering if this is how wildlife has to pay the price for our enjoyment.
As we know only too well, economic sense always trumps common sense. However, unfortunately, if there are no economic incentives or benefits in preserving our natural heritage, then there won't be much of it left for the future. Tourism is a necessary evil to preserve our natural heritage. Or else all will be lost to loggers, hunters and developers.
As I later learned, in order to connect important wildlife habitats, several overpasses (at a cost of $1 million each) and many more underpasses have been constructed on the Trans-Canada highway in Banff National Park for wildlife to cross the highway in a safe and "natural" way. The passes are designed to resemble a natural setting. Apparently, it did not take long for some of the smaller animals to start using the passes, but it took a few years before top predators such as bears and wolves felt comfortable enough to use it. I guess everyone has their own learning curve!
Bow Valley Parkway (Highway 1A)
From the town of Banff, Bow Valley Parkway is the alternate route to the TransCanada Highway. Although slower than taking the highway, it is the recommended route for sighting animals and for stopping en route at the many view points. However, with the exception of a few viewpoints dotted along the route, it lacks the sweeping panoramic views, which the Trans-Canada Highway affords throughout the journey.
We were lucky as we spotted a huge deer just as we got on the Bow Valley Parkway from Banff. We pulled over to the side and happily took several pictures. Initially, we thought it was a woodland caribou. We found it very confusing to distinguish between an elk, woodland caribou and a deer as all three look more or less the same and have very funky antlers. As we learned later, caribou prefer to stay on the higher altitudes in the summer months, and their numbers are so small that we would be lucky indeed to spot one. I recently read that the last remaining woodland caribou in Banff all died in an avalanche in 2009, and, sadly, there are only a few remaining in Jasper.
There were two animals that we were really hoping to spot – woodland caribou and bears. It hadn't even been twenty minutes since we had seen a deer, and we came across a couple of bears – a mother and her pug! As we were constantly on the lookout for animals, we were driving slowly so I was able to immediately pull over to the side just a few feet away from them. Apparently, the pug had wandered out of the woods and its mother followed it and took it back inside. By the time others pulled over to see the bears, they had gone back into the woods. We were very happy to have taken Bow Valley Parkway indeed!
We spotted the bears very close to a camping site. So to all those who plan on camping in the National Parks, make sure to secure your garbage to keep the bears away!

Force 3 120GB - Firmware upgrade won't find disk. Current FW is version 1.0
Hello, I am having a difficult time finding firmware to upgrade from 1.0. I am hoping that the firmware version 1.0 is the cause of me having to secure erase and reinstall Windows 7 every 45-90 days. I am experiencing the same Windows stops responding, then taskbar goes away, then BSOD issues that many other seem to be having.
This leads me to run a VERY LONG and painful check disk and the computer finds all sorts of bad sectors and then runs fine for like a week. After the week of running correctly it begins BSOD every 2 or 3 days, culminating in BSOD every 5 hours. Check disk again, rinse repeat.
I have tried most everything I can muster with my Googlefu and still cannot get the update utility to find my drive. I have worked through all of my bios settings for power management. My port is set to AHCI. I am using a high quality SATA III cable. I am connected to the INTEL controller on my board and not the Marvell Controller. My antivirus is off. I am running the update tool as administrator. I have run this firmware update on 7 drives at work, I have a good clue as to how it SHOULD be done I am wondering if being at FW version 1.0 is preventing the update tool from seeing the drive?
I WOULD request an RMA and be done with this, but I need my computer for work, even a BSOD ridden box is better than NO box until they receive and replace my drive. Any ideas on the drive firmware upgrade? The tools bundled with the Force 3 120GB versions 1.2 and 1.33 firmware fail to find my drive. Does anyone know if Corsair will do a hot swap? As in send me a replacement (HOPEFULLY with up to date firmware?) that I can install and get running before sending my drive in?
I bought this drive for myself and one for a coworker build I was doing based upon the corsair name and reviews. He had to have his drive RMA'd after 4 months. Looks like my persistence may have bought me an extra 60 days, but I tell ya what, this has been a MASSIVE hassle. I had another (not to be named here) 40 GB ssd for 2 years that never gave me a hitch before I put this one in for the added storage space :( I WANT to LOVE my Corsair drive, but I'm getting closer to using it for target practice with my PT1911...

Hey folks,
This forum was intended as a short-term mechanism for user feedback directly after the launch of the new WoW site in November of 2016. Since we're over a year beyond that point, the developers and community staff are no longer actively watching posts here.
With that in mind, this forum is now locked pending future removal. All bug reports and suggestions should be submitted via the support site at https://support.curse.com so we can have better tracking.
Take care,

My mother once told me that when my grandfather was about 14 years old, he had a nervous breakdown. I thought, "well, that explains a lot."
The man was complex, complicated, moody, loving, cruel, with flashes of brilliance that I suspect my small town was too small to understand. He married young, like it was customary at the time, and had over ten children. It's hard to wrap your mind around having and raising so many kids, but according to my mother, he was well, capable, and supportive before he succumbed to a mental illness that affected all of us for generations. She fondly remembers her childhood, when he was a taxi driver and used to buy them clothes in Santiago. But that, too, just like youth, was fleeting.
Supposedly he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, but after numerous years of reading about mental illnesses, I'd concluded that he was bipolar. We were wrong. The man was afflicted with schizoaffective disorder–a comorbid combination of both.
During my short time in my pueblo natal, Sosúa, I remember he'd go months, sometimes years, without leaving his house. He was a hoarder of broken electronic devices–some of which he found and would fix without former training.
My grandmother would send either my uncle Kelvin or me to bring him food, and occasionally my uncle Abelito would bring it, too. Then something would spark in his brain and he'd be all over town leaving traces of himself. He was the town's designated loco and we all carried that Scarlet letter with him. I especially did, since I was a hypersensitive ragey kid.
He was fond of Christianity, religion, but wasn't loyal to one single denomination–or perhaps he was enamored with all. As he'd attended every single church in town: Catholic, Pentecostal, Jehovah's Witnesses, you name it, the man was omnipresent. He got along well with the small Jewish community of refugees that flourished in the island after they were given land, loans, and livestock to start anew during the 1940s. He worked for them for some time, too.
Like most Caribbean men of the time, el machismo was ingrained in him. The one still rampant and wreaking havoc today. I'd wonder why the man never pulled out and why he'd put my grandmother through so much stress. Pull out game: Weak AF. In all seriousness, he was infatuated with my grandmother. His obsession and jealousy were legendary. Well after their divorce and in his 60s, that loco enamorado would bring a band to play her serenatas while he loudly narrated his undying love for her, right in front of her timber and zinc house she'd gotten from their separation. The dark side to that suffocating love was an absurd jealousy that dumbfounded us all.

All United Kingdom universities and most further education colleges are to face sanctions for the first time if they breach guidelines for overseas student recruitment practices and the delivery of educational services to other countries.
A revised code of practice drawn up by the British Council and adopted this week by the Educational Counselling Service, which represents most universities and colleges, will act as a contract between individual institutions and students.
It requires institutions to meet students' expectations about clear and consistent information on both the course to which they have been recruited and the academic environment in which they will pursue it.
And the code, in its new revised form, tightens up on recruiting practices overseas by insisting on clear and consistent applications and admissions procedures covering course requirements, tuition charges and arrangements for payment.
It is backed by a complaints procedure under which any claims of suspect recruiting practices would be investigated and considered by the ECS board which would draw any findings to the attention of the vice chancellor or principal of the university or college involved.
Roger Bowers, assistant director general of the British Council, said: "We expect that drawing the matter to the attention of the chief executive of the institution will be sufficient, but as a last resort we could recommend suspension."
Suspension or expulsion would cut off the institution from information on educational opportunities overseas provided by ECS; prevent it from influencing the development of the service; and exclude it from the exhibitions or recruiting fairs organised by ECS overseas.
But the new code was dismissed by John Belcher, pro-rector of the University of Westminster and critic of some of the more aggressive overseas marketing practices. "Originally the code had more teeth. Increasingly it has become a marketing instrument. Its usefulness as a means of regulating the quality of a student's stay has been weakened," he said.

I saw these in the store but they were too big. The associate was kind enough to find them online so I paid there and she had them shipped to my house. How easy is that-I just love them. They are so whimsical and the colors are so pretty. I am noting down below that you prob want to order a size down to get the right fit. They definitely run big and I like them with bare feet.

Hello Montauk!
A recent scouting trip to
was wonderful and left me wanting more. If I can enjoy it this much off season, Montauk in the autumn will be the perfect destination for this couple and others planning a fall wedding. "The end" of Long Island is a magnificent setting for new beginnings. We saw a wide range of venues, from stables to state parks to a surf lodge. Consider this city alternative if you enjoy water front views, fresh seafood, lighthouses and a laid back sophistication.

Rafael Nadal is undefeated in 19 matches on hard courts this year after coming back to beat 22nd-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-3, 6-1 and return to the U.S. Open quarterfinals.
He will not, however, play Roger Federer next.
The second-seeded Nadal, who counts the 2010 U.S. Open among his 12 Grand Slam titles, beat Kohlschreiber on Monday night in the fourth round.
Their match ended about 21/2 hours after Federer was upset in straight sets by 19th-seeded Tommy Robredo, Nadal's quarterfinal opponent. Had Federer won, he and Nadal would have played each other for the 32nd time - and first at Flushing Meadows.
Against Kohlschreiber, Nadal faced only one break point, and saved it. Nadal has yet to lose a service game in the tournament.

10 Bold College Football Predictions For 2018
August 30, 2018 by Jean Neuberger • Print Story •
It's time to make the annual list of 10 really bold predictions for the 2018 season.
As per the last few years, these predictions will have the Heisman and CFP calls, along with some prognostications that are way out of the blue. After all, saying "Alabama will win the SEC" really isn't a bold prediction if they're favored to do just that. We'll aim for predictions where the odds are mostly stacked against me ... after all, that's the true fun of it!
So, without further ado, let's get to the picks.
1) Urban Meyer resigns and goes to the NFL.
Let's face it, the fact he still has a job at Ohio State is remarkable. The fact he only got a three-game suspension is incredible. But the fact that his job just got exponentially more difficult is undeniable. The Buckeyes will be loathed by just about the entire country, while the negative recruiting launched by every school against OSU will skyrocket.
Frankly, it'll be an easy pitch, asking the parents of a recruit if this is the guy you want to trust with your child for the next four years. Meyer knows when to jump ship; just ask any Florida fan. He'll quietly be throwing his name out there and chances are, some NFL team will take a chance on him.
2) Purdue finishes second in the Big Ten West.
While making it to a bowl game was a huge boost for the Purdue program last year, this year will be even better. The hype has all been towards Wisconsin (deservedly so) and of Scott Frost's triumphant return to Nebraska. But very quietly, a more confident Boilermaker squad should make some serious noise to prove they are no one-hit wonder. Their non-conference showdown with Missouri in West Lafayette should be a high-scoring shootout and one of the most underrated matchups of the year.
3) Iowa State will ruin West Virginia's run.
West Virginia is really, really good and quite honestly, could be a CFP contender. However, everyone's looking at the Mountaineers easily getting their way through the schedule until the last four showdowns with Texas, TCU, Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma (someone in the Big 12 office must hate WVU). The October 13th game in Ames is a major trap game; the Cyclones still have Kyle Kempt and David Montgomery and Matt Campbell's squad took out Oklahoma in Norman and TCU in Ames. West Virginia survived them, 20-16 last year in Morgantown. This has all the makings of a potential upset.
4) Washington beats Auburn to get to CFP playoff.
I could be crazy wrong on this one. But Chris Petersen has had a few months to dissect a plan, he's got a veteran QB, and a nasty defense. Of course, Auburn could say the exact same thing. However, I'll give the very slight edge to the Huskies, who won't have to face Southern Cal unless they both reach Pac-12 title game. It's set up for Washington to make a run back to the playoff; a win over Auburn and I think they do just that.
5) The hottest seat does NOT belong to Ed Orgeron.
First thing's first: Maryland's D.J. Durkin could be fired any day now, so let's take him out of contention. Given LSU's schedule, he's got a good shot of being replaced, as I don't see LSU beating Georgia or Alabama. Going to Auburn certainly looks tough and frankly, I'd give the edge to Miami this weekend over the Tigers ... it seems really close which is why I'd give Mark Richt a slight edge. 8-4 would be enough to send Orgeron packing; LSU fans aren't going to be satisfied with that.
However, the hottest seat (after Durkin) clearly belongs to David Beaty at Kansas. KU brought Jeff Long in as athletic director to upgrade their football program. In other words, they brought him in to hire the next coach. Beaty's practically halfway through the door, unless he turns it around almost immediately. I also think Kliff Kingsbury at Texas Tech is on a hotter seat than Orgeron; he's had five years to rebuild that program and still sits under .500 for his time.
6) There will be three undefeated teams in the CFP this season.
That's right, three teams will complete the season sweep, making this one of the easier seasons ever for the CFP committee. More to come on this...
7) Wisconsin's Johnathan Taylor wins the Heisman.
Nope, bot Bryce Love. Not Jake Fromm. Not the Alabama QB carousel. This year, they'll give it to the steady running back who will ground and pound for ridiculous yardage behind the massive offensive line that Wisconsin always has. The preseason favorites tend to fall out; this year, I'll put my chips behind a guy that will run for a lot of yards on a team that should win a lot of games. That's Taylor.
8) A Group of 5 team loses one of the New Year's Six games.
If you think that's predictable, go back and look at the records that Group of Five teams have had since receiving a slot in the New Year's Six bowl games. This year, someone is going to finally take them seriously (be it UCF, Boise State, or Houston) and eek out a win.
9) The CFP Final Four will be...
Undefeated Alabama. Undefeated Oklahoma. Undefeated Washington and Clemson, who will get in over Ohio State, who knocked off Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game, but the committee will ignore Gene Smith's pleas and take Dabo Swinney's boys instead.
10) The national champion will be...
Alabama over Washington. Nick Saban wins yet again and college football sighs and goes back to the drawing board. This time, Saban will eat a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie while accepting the award, just so people realize he's not a robot.

Indiana's total confusion over its CBD laws has been well-documented over the past year or so, but after all the twists and turns, there may finally be light at the end of the tunnel for those in favor.
Many share the frustration of Jim Tomes, a Republican state senator, at the current situation. The law says that CBD oil is legal, but that hasn't stopped repeated raids in recent months from state law enforcements. Vast quantities of CBD products have been seized from health stores and grocery stores, with no consensus on whether their actions have been lawful or not.
Tomes is fed up of the confusion, and Governor Eric Holcomb hasn't helped matters with his apparent lack of understanding over legislation that he signed back in April 2017. Tomes has filed a bill with the goal of making CBD as "easy to obtain as baby aspirins." Like many CBD-related issues in Indiana, it sounds good on paper, but will this bill finally legalize CBD oil in the Hoosier state for good?
Will they or won't they?
In an interview with the Associated Press (AP), Tomes simply stated that he wanted to clear up any doubts and "just make this product legal." But anyone who has followed CBD policy in Indiana over the past few months will know that CBD oil is already supposed to be legal.
HB 1148, which was signed by Governor Holcomb in April 2017, effectively allowed access to CBD products for qualified patients, whose use of such extracts had been authorized by their physicians. Those part of this program would then be exempt from criminal prosecution.
In terms of what products are now permitted, Indiana has a classic 'CBD-only' law, which only allows products containing less than 0.3% of the psychoactive cannabinoid THC. Moreover, extracts must contain a minimum of 10% CBD. Lawmakers wanted to ensure that Indiana citizens could not acquire such products and use them for recreational purposes.
However, what HB 1148 doesn't do is allow for any CBD cultivation within Indiana, or provide any means of access to CBD products, even for qualified patients. Without the necessary regulatory framework, Indiana's "legalization" of CBD oil is effectively meaningless. The hope is that Senator Tomes' bill can address these uncertainties and holes.
Police raids causing havoc for vendors
Full-scale CBD oil legalization in Indiana is, for now, largely dependent on Tomes' bill succeeding in Indiana's House and Senate.
Indiana State Excise Police have been spot-checking stores stocking CBD oil since the middle of 2017. Excise police are responsible for enforcing laws set by the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission – many have wondered whether they are acting outside their jurisdiction by seizing CBD oil.
An investigation by local TV claimed that CBD confiscations had been occurring all over the state, but that the police were acting without seeking the explicit approval of the governor's office, Indiana's attorney general or other important law enforcement bodies.
However, this story is in direct conflict of Gov. Holcomb's request that excise police should randomly check on stores vending CBD. Holcomb's decision apparently came after Indiana Attorney General Hill concluded that CBD products were indeed still illegal.
Indystar reported that Holcomb had ordered for "normal, periodic, regulatory spot checks" to confirm that the CBD oil products being sold did not contain more than the legal 0.3% THC limit. That, given the legislation Holcomb signed in the previous April, was fair enough.
Stores that were not complying with the THC threshold would then be given 60 days to either sell their stock or remove the products in question from their shelves. However, it appears that excise police did not give stores the required 60 days before starting their confiscations.
Excise police argued that the law said only qualified patients should have access to CBD oil, but since the state had provided no way for these patients to obtain the oil, the only way they could acquire them is through purchasing at health and grocery stores.
State lawmakers prepared to take on governor and attorney general
In introducing a new bill intended to increase access to CBD, Senator Tomes is making a clear break from the positions of Gov. Holcomb and Attorney General Hill. Providing the bill can get widespread bipartisan support, CBD's legality in Indiana should soon be assured.
Tomes' bill aims to clarify that CBD oil is not a "controlled substance" and that the oil itself and its derivatives are completely legal. Tomes has the backing of many of his constituents, who have found relief with CBD oil. Furthermore, CBD oil is a much cheaper and safer alternative to opiate-based prescription painkillers.
The bill still needs to make it through the House, the Senate and the governor's desk, but the "turmoil", as Tomes puts it, over CBD oil in Indiana could soon be over.

Preparing to Lead a Bible Study
Study and apply passage for oneself ten times more than you expect of the group you will be leading.
Example: 1. Study the passage for a month before using it. Memorize the passage in the first week. Do an AEIOU Bible study on each verse of passage you are studying.
How to use AEIOU:
"A" means to "ask questions" of the passage..Who, what, where, why, how?
"E" means to say aloud each word of the verse for emphasis of that word in the verse.
"I" means think about the passage and come up with a relevant illustration that would capture the truth of the passage.
"O" means to look for other passages in Scripture that would have something to say about the passage being studied. Many Bible translations have "cross references" that refer you to similar passages.
"U" means that before leaving this study that you Use it which means that you make an application for the truth of the verse for your own life.
There are three types of questions in studying the Bible for oneself. It is helpful to get into this pattern of Bible study for ourselves on a daily basis so that when we lead a Bible study it will come out of our own experience. Our personal experience brings genuine power to any Bible study since "we communicate in 750 ways other than verbal." Our sincerity brings an atmosphere of learning and application.
The Three types of questions for Bible study:
1) Observation questions: This means to discover the who, what, and where in the passage. This is painting the picture of what actually happened in the passage and who was involved.
2) Interpretation questions: These questions seek for meaning and ask the question "why?"
3) Application questions: They are questions that lead us to apply the truths of the passage to our own lives. Here are a few sample application questions: What should I know? What should I feel? What should I do?
Preparing to lead a Bible study:
After studying the passage for yourself and living it through your life for a while, begin to make up a Bible study to share with others.
1. Use the same three types of questions that you used for your personal study. All three are very important.
a. Write out three observation questions that would describe the people, the event, and the discussion. These questions are the What, the Who and the Where. "What" happened in the passage? "Who" was involved? "Where" did it take place?
2. After the picture of what happened in the passage is clear, then ask the "why" questions and begin to use the interpretation questions. Why did he or they do that do you think? Why did he say that do you think? Why do you think they responded that way?
3. The third type of question to be asked is "application questions."
4. Always save enough time to discuss various applications of the passage. Questions such as "What should we think or know? How should we feel? How should we act? If time is not saved for obedience to the truth discovered, then the impression is left that application of truth to one's own life is not important. This would be a tremendous mistake. John 14:21
In leading a Bible study for two or more people, always take enough time to develop a learning atmosphere. I like this definition.
"People change significantly when they get an opportunity to have a group experience and can talk openly and honestly with each other, share feelings and discuss problems in an atmosphere where they feel empathetically understood and warmly accepted."
When you first begin to meet, you might even take the major part of the meeting to share and get to know each other in a loving trusting atmosphere. As the trust builds, the time in the Scripture increases.
Some thoughts on leading a Bible study discussion.
1. I think it is always good to begin by having each person in the Bible study check in by sharing how they are feeling. If one person needs some time, then the time would be well used to at least set goals to help the person after the study. The study of the passage will be that much better when you get to it, if people get to share their feelings i.e. I am tired, happy, excited about the Bible study, sad, glad to be here. Etc.
2. Give the people a chance to share how the passage studied last week influenced their week. Maybe the first time you asked this question you won't get much response since most people don't take application of God's Word seriously. But keep asking the question and people will begin to take God's Word seriously and the group will take off in its excitement for God's Word.
3. Begin to ask the Observation, Interpretation and Application questions. Start with the observation questions on the passage, then to the interpretation and "why" questions, and then the application questions that give the passage and its truth power in our lives.
4. Always leave time for Application.
5. Pray. Maybe during the first few meetings you will give a period of silence to pray for the person on each side of them. End with an amen. Then you can end with each person saying a one sentence prayer. You can also say "pass" when it comes to you. The fellowship and learning is the priority.
5. Before you leave give each person the opportunity to say one thing they learned or observed in what they just experienced. They can say "pass".

Waht am I missing?
DAX is normally not used with the microphone. SmartSDR sees the microphone that is set in the default setting for your recording device in Windows. It is very confusing. I would like to see everything done manually and not automatically. Also, if you are using a computer microphone, be sure that "PC" is selected in the P/CW box.
Jim, K6QE
Hi John
There are several threads on How To do these tasks, and may be some YouTubes as well.
http://bfy.tw/Bw4u is a link to a search on doing it with N1MM+ and http://www.flexradio.com/?s=n1mm%2B is the same on the FlexRadio Website.
Would guess a lot of what you want is in this one http://www.flexradio.com/downloads/using_n1mm_logger_with_smartsdr-pdf/
It is pretty easy to get this stuff in a whirl and I am hoping at some point the Community have a section dedicated to easy to use How To Guides.
Steve K9ZW
Yes some help but the big problem is most of this is so far behind. It references very early versions of SmartSDR, there is no mention of the Maestro in any of this. And most of it is how to set things up for CW. CW setup is easy: what I need is help with the friggin' voice keyer!
Very, very frustrated with all of this right now.

CrossFit for Hope: Cures
It is with great pleasure that I get to announce we will be hosting our first fundraiser for charity on Saturday, July 6th here at Cróga CrossFit!
We know that this is a holiday weekend, but for those of you that will be in town, this is an amazing opportunity to flex our Cróga CrossFit community muscle by raising some money for an awesome cause and performing a workout that will be done at thousands of other CrossFit Boxes worldwide on the same day!
Here is a little bit about this fundraiser, directly from the CrossFit for Hope: Cures website, "CrossFit, Inc. is committed to be a driving force in finding Cures for catastrophic children's illnesses. Through the efforts of our affiliates and, ultimately, you the CrossFit community can be a driving force in the fight against children's cancer and other illnesses. Our ability to make change is infinite. Our action is a responsibility."
On July 6th we will be performing a WOD called "Hope For Cures". This WOD has the same format as Fight Gone Bad (3 rounds of 1 minute at each of 5 stations with a 1 minute rest between rounds), but the stations are Burpees, 75# Power Snatch, 24″ Box Jumps, 75# Thrusters & Chest to Bar Pull-Ups.
If you would like to make a donation to CrossFit for Hope: Cures, please do so through our Cróga CrossFit Affiliate Page and help us reach our goal of $2,000.
There will be more to come on what time we will be doing this workout, and maybe some delayed 4th of July party time that will follow this first community fundraiser.
Please watch the video below to learn about Kate Foster, a 13-year-old CrossFitter that was diagnosed with leukemia that forced the amputation of her left leg. Her positive attitude and fighting spirit are two qualities that make her a true inspiration!

Even one of the top singles lineups in Southern California needs a little help once in a while.
That was the painful lesson learned last year by Thousand Oaks boys' tennis standouts Marcos Giron, Denis Lin and Kyle McMorrow when they won all nine sets against Santa Barbara in the Southern Section Div.I quarterfinals, only to watch the Lancers lose 69-66 on games.
In Wednesday's non-league showdown, Thousand Oaks brought in the reinforcements in doubles and earned revenge in impressive fashion.
With Giron, Lin and Alex Johnson combining for eight singles victories and McMorrow teaming with Tyler Bridges to sweep in doubles, the host Lancers defeated Santa Barbara 13-5.
"Obviously we're a lot better team than we were last year," said the Stanford-bound Lin, who dropped three games in his three-set sweep.
"I was pretty sure we were going to win. But this was a way to judge how good we are. Tyler and (freshman Brendon Josephson) are really good additions to our team."
With McMorrow nursing a sore hip, Thousand Oaks coach Dave Assorson decided to pair the Washington-bound with Bridges, a junior who didn't play for the team last year.
After Thousand Oaks (2-0) was shut out by Santa Barbara (3-1) in doubles in last year's battle, McMorrow and Bridges swept 6-2, 6-0, 6-2, giving the Lancers five victories. Matt Skwaruzynski and Josephson won 6-3 in the second round and Bobby King and Greg Wise closed out the match with a 6-3 victory.
"It definitely feels a lot better than losing all of them," Giron said. "Every (set) counts in matches like these."
Although Thousand Oaks led from the outset, it was Giron's 7-6 (6) victory over Chase Melton that demonstrated the team's desire to win.
Giron overcame a 5-2 deficit to pull even at 6-6, then rallied from 5-4 down in the tiebreaker to prevail.
"It felt really good," Giron said. "I wasn't playing my best and I was missing more than I should. But I'm happy I won the match."
After playing doubles with Ken Wang in last year's loss, Johnson demonstrated his versatility by winning twice in singles, a role he could become accustomed to teammates possibly missing matches to compete in USTA or ITF tournaments.
"It takes the pressure off because even if you don't play your best, you know the team is still capable of winning," Johnson said. "You know guys are there to back you up and that makes it easier."

Savages to play series of UK gigs as part of world tour
Band will play eight UK shows
Savages will play eight UK shows as they embark on a world tour in promotion of their forthcoming album 'Adore Life'.
The group's follow-up to 2013's 'Silence Yourself' is due for release on January 22 and they kick off their tour shortly after that with dates in London, Bexhill, Cambridge, Glasgow, Manchester and Leeds.
First up though is an appearance at London's Day of the Dead Festival on November 7, and they'll return to the city in March for a show at the Roundhouse. Scroll down for details.
The four-piece announced the LP last week alongside a video for new track 'The Answer'. Speaking about the upcoming album, Savages said: "It's about change and the power to change. It's about metamorphosis and evolution. It's about sticking to your guns and toughing it out. It's about now, not tomorrow. It's about recognising your potential. It's about self-doubt and inaction. It's about you. It's about me. It's about you and me and the others. It's about the choices we make. It's about finding the poetry and avoiding the cliché."
A statement from the band continues: "It's about being the solution, not the problem. It's about showing weakness to be strong. It's about digging through your dirt to look for diamonds. It's about claiming your right to think unacceptable thoughts. It's about boredom and the things we do to drive it away. It's about being on your own so you can be with people. It's about knowing what it means to be human and what it might mean one day. It's about the parts and the sum of the parts. It's about the music and the message: together, one and the same. It's about bass, guitars, drums, and vocals. It's about opening-out and never, ever dying. But most of all it's about love, every kind of love. Love is the answer."
Savages will play:
London Day of the Dead Festival (November 7)
London The 100 Club (January 26)
Bexhill De La Warr Pavilion (February 18)
Cambridge Junction (19)
Glasgow Art School (21)
Manchester Albert Hall (22)
Leeds Irish Centre (23)
London Roundhouse (March 17)

Spending budget Accounting Tricks
The objective of accounting is to offer data about the monetary position, performance and changes in economic position of an enterprise that is valuable to wide range of users in making economic choices. To be beneficial the accounting details have to possess the characteristic of reliability, relevance, comprehend-potential and comparability.
According to a new study from a team of researchers at Brigham Young University, the Foster School of Enterprise Department of Accounting ranks very first in contributions to monetary accounting investigation. The study ranks accounting applications around the globe by topical area primarily based on the number of articles published in leading journals over 19, 12 and six years.
Under manual bookkeeping systems, it is imperative to detect and avert arithmetical errors. The trial balance is developed to accomplish this objective. It is just a list of all the accounts and their balances extracted from the ledger. If the bookkeeping entries are cost-free from error, the total of all debit balances must agree with the total of all credit balances. Double entry bookkeeping guarantees that the trial balance is usually in balance (tallies). The accountant making use of a manual accounting method prepares a trial balance from time to time to make sure the arithmetical accuracy of his books.
All in all, the encounter you get from operating as a fund accountant is extremely beneficial and the expertise you can find out are quite transferable to other jobs. I produced a career from it up until recently when I decided to pursue additional study – I am a CFA candidate hoping to get into hedge funds. I also trade the financial markets part time.
Seventh, due to the fact I enjoy studying numerous companies. Being an accountant, and 1 in the public practice at that, I get to be exposed to a lot of firms and study them. The math, the calculations – all of these are really becoming automatic. But finding out about your clients' firms and applying what you learned in accounting for their transactions, now that's something else. By way of this course, I have discovered a lot of factors about businesses that I know I will not learn if I took on one more (non-associated) field (unless, of course, I enter into company myself).

The 10 Anchors of Union Church are theological convictions and philosophies of ministry that we are tethered to in order to remain faithful to our original mission (to train holistic disciples who follow Jesus in advancing His restorative Kingdom) and vision (to see a gospel-saturated community formed out of Auburn and Opelika that advances the mission of Jesus). These Anchors inform everything from our partnerships and budget to our church government and Sunday liturgy. The first Anchor acts as an overarching philosophy of ministry with the remaining nine more specifically teasing out our Theology (beliefs about God: 2,3,4), Ecclesiology (church structure, government and practices: 5,6,7), and Missiology (contextually specific disciple making: 8, 9, 10). We believe that a strong commitment to these Anchors will create a culture that will bring God glory and us joy.
We are committed to:
- Holistic discipleship.
- The Bible as our highest authority.
- Emphasizing Union with Christ as the fullest description of the gospel.
- Gospel-centered equipping of the saints.
- Organizing and operating as a local family.
- Covenant membership.
- The racial reconciliation of the family.
- Regular corporate praying.
- Strategic college ministry and church planting.
- A missional community (house church) model and rhythms.

In order to make sure 2016 is your best year yet, some will tell you to eat black-eyed peas or cornbread—but in China and Japan, the answer is long noodles.
Long noodles signify long life, as Naoko Moore, author of Donabe, explained:
On New Year's Eve, people eat soba noodles throughout the country of Japan. It's called Toshikoshi Soba (year-crossing soba). Thin, long-stretched soba symbolizes longevity, so we eat soba to pray for our healthy, long lives in the next year. Typically, toshikoshi soba is a simple bowl of noodles in a dashi broth, but in my home, we like to do Kamo Nabe (duck hot pot—the recipe is in Donabe). You cook duck and tofu in a broth in a donabe (a Japanese clay pot) to share at the table.
So bring good luck to this year with a healthy heap of noodles (as if that wouldn't be the plan anyways):
Longevity, in stir fry form:
Smoked Tea Duck Noodles by aargersi
Vegan Pad Thai by Gena Hamshaw
Jaengban Guksu (Korean-Style Soba Noodles with Spicy Dressing) by Rach Kim
Spicy Thai Basil Noodle Cake by Sippity Sup (Greg Henry)
Patricia Yeo's Sesame Noodles by Genius Recipes
Zhajiang Noodles with Eggplant by Madame Huang

Antepavilion Party
Date: 2018
Hackney, London
A nautical themed party for a nautical themed pavilion.

With a programme that demands usability throughout both the daytime and evening, the remodelled interior works hard to provide a welcoming and generous space. A bridge like structure spans the entire width of the upstairs room and alongside the bar marks the division between publicly accessible and private preparatory areas. Yet the permeable nature of this suspended divide ensures that the role of host and those being hosted is informal. A companion structure bookends the room. Part display, part store these twinned elements formally establish a sense of depth whilst providing much needed functionality to an otherwise compact space. Subtle vertical articulation to the flanking walls complement the elegant framework and the collection of interventions provide a muted armature for the vibrancy of happenings.
JA Projects continues to play an active roll in the curation of an ongoing artistic programme of exhibitions and installations, while Diddy's frequently hosts live events and private celebrations.

Garwood Athletic Complex
Client: Borough of Garwood
Location: Garwood, NJ
Typology: Community
Size: 1,800 sq ft
Project Features: Community Building
Athletic Fields
Photo Credit: James Leynse
Project Details (PDF)
The Garwood Athletic Complex was constructed to provide publicly accessible facilities to the Borough of Garwood. This project was partially funded by the Green Acres Program which strives to meet New Jersey's growing recreation and conservation needs. Situated between existing underground utilities and within the extents of a flood plain, the building design negotiates these site constraints to create occupiable spaces above the flood datum while limiting the surface area of the footprint.
The majority of the building's roof, wall, and floor construction is comprised of prefabricated SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels) which were erected on site over the course of two weeks. The high strength to weight ratio, unparalleled insulating value, and expediency of construction made this the ideal system given the owner's requirements and time-frame to construct the building while respecting the adjacent residential community.
The Garwood Athletic Complex has been recognized by the New Jersey Regional Chapter of the American Institute of Architects with a merit award in their 2015 Design Competition and was previously honored with an Achievement in Planning from the New Jersey Planning Officials.

Since the release of the Ontario 2015 revised Sex Ed Curriculum late February, a grass root movement of opposition has been gathering steam. Since March, members of this movement organized protests at various Government-led info sessions, at community events where Premier Kathleen Wynn attended, and staged a major rally at Queen's Park on April 14, where thousands (different media outlets' estimates ranged from 2000 to 5000 people) of parents, grandparents protested the implementation of the 2015 revised Sex Ed curriculum this coming September.
Moreover, representatives of this movement attended numerous forums, media interviews and debates, to express their opposition to the 2015 revised Sex Ed Curriculum. Their voice was loud and clear. However, the government has so far failed to adequately engage these parents, but instead branded the movement as driven by people who were ill-informed, backward-thinking, anger-driven, unreasonable, fuelled and coached by Conservatives. It was this condescending attitude on the part of the government that has stalled any dialogue and engagement with the movement.
Myth1: They were ill-informed.
Fact 1: In a recent Forum held in York Region, the first speaker was given the task to present the Sex Ed Curriculum and could have used a more fact-based approach by simply presenting the data, namely, the actual contents of the controversial parts that the opposing parents abhorred. However, the speaker chose to adopt a condescending attitude by asking for a show of hands from those who have actually read the curriculum, not some interpretations. An overwhelming majority of parents raised their hands, showing that these parents were not ill-informed. Most of them were not born in Canada and spoke English with an accent. However, thanks to immigration policy adopted by the Federal government, which placed education as a high priority, these new Canadians are elites in their Country of origin and possessed a high level of skills in research and critical thinking. They spent hours going through the entire curriculum, researched the relevant criminal codes, and conducted extensive research on comprehensive sex education in other provinces and US jurisdictions. Their presentation was highly informative, reasonable, supported by data and research materials. To call them as ill-informed and misled is simply an insult.
Myth 2: They are against Sex Ed and against updating Sex Ed.
Fact 2: In the Forum, many speakers who spoke in support of the government's curriculum spend a great deal of time, either from personal experience as educator, as sexual health nurse, or as researcher, to support the notion that Sex Ed is necessary and critical to our youth's well-being. Their assumption is that parents are all reluctant to talk to their children about sex and that the school must step in to fill in the void. This assumption underpinned much of comprehensive sex education for decades. However, the parents who were present in the forum presented a fundamental challenge to this long-held assumption. Most of these parents were born in the 70s, 80s, even early 90s, children who basically grew up in the front of the computer, internet, and were the first adaptors of communication technologies. They expressed again and again that they were ready to talk to children about sex, according to their own religion, values and worldviews. They were not against sex education or updating the Sex Ed curriculum. Their objection was against the value system and the materials presented in the 2015 revision.
Myth 3: The movement was orchestrated by the Conservatives
Fact 3: Numerous news organizations branded the April 14 protest as orchestrated by the Conservatives or Conservative organizations. While it was true that several Progressive Conservative MPPs spoke at the rally on April 14, and some of the people in the movement may be members of the Conservative Party, provincial or Federal, it is totally untrue to call the protest movement a Conservatives-orchestrated movement. The movement was born shortly after the 2015 revised Sex Ed curriculum was released in late February. Many members of the organizing committee were previously not involved in politics. They were motivated by real concerns for their children after studying the curriculum in details. Seeing some members of the Conservatives present in the movement and then drawing the conclusion that it is a Conservative-orchestrated movement is a clear sign of a logical fallacy.
Myth 4: The movement is irrational and filled with anger
Fact 4: Yes, there is anger, but not from irrational fears or manipulations. The movement studied the curriculum carefully and decided to oppose. It was a very rational process. They were angry because they felt betrayed, ridiculed, and ignored by the government. In 2010, when then Premier Dalton McGinty pulled the 2010 revision, he promised to do a better job in consulting the parents. In November 2014, instead of doing a thorough consultation process, the government announced that only 4000 parents would participate in a survey, without even releasing the contents of the curriculum. In late February, 2015, the government released the 2015 revised curriculum and announced that it will be implemented in September, without bothering to release the result of the so-called survey of 4000. This is definitely not consultation, and the parents have a right to be angry about the process. Their anger was further fuelled by the condescending tone in the government's presentation of the new curriculum.
Myth 5: It is impossible to let every parent be part of the consultation process
Fact 5: In this day and age, it is definitely possible to allow all parents to participate in a province wide consultation process on this curriculum. Taking a cue from the Toronto Casino consultation, the provincial government should develop a website that allows all parents to comment on specifics of the curriculum. Numerous town hall meetings in major cities throughout the province can be held to solicit inputs from parents. A panel chaired by a respected individual, e.g. a retired judge, would then compile the inputs and then release a report. Parents or representatives of parent organization should be given seats in this panel. Then the Ministry of Education should finalize the curriculum based on the report. There is no reason why this process cannot be completed within a year.
The government should stop evading the issue, which will not go away, simply because it is education, a day-to-day concerns parents must deal with. The government cannot continue to ignore the concerns, which are very real, and should start engage the parents as partners.

Approach back within the last century computers were big and heavy. Apple, and AMD all supply 64-bit techniques. It wasn't until 1959 that the pair of techniques had been put into use in precise banks. But with all of the obtainable technology round us, with every machine constantly perfected by skilled individuals, something is possible.\n\nThose computers relied on machine language to perform operations and so they could only remedy one problem at a time. Although these kind of automated methods are not strictly for the modular housing trade, they are usually more simply included into the design element of modular house construction then that of conventional building.\n\nWhether employees are using their very own or firm-issued units, IT managers will need to have a method to handle all of the customers, units and data from a central console. After all, in order for the advances in know-how to be effectively used, people will need to equip themselves with the correct instruments and accessories.\n\nThe primary computer systems, which used vacuum tubes, had been usually enormous in measurement, occupying complete rooms. Obviously, there may be quite a lot of cross-over between categories, however the relative significance of wine labels is enough to make it necessary in selling wine.\n\nAt instances it was even crucial to accumulate further laptop hardware, akin to a sound card, a spare USB slot, a CD Rom drive and presumably other components. It provides the typical computer user instantaneous entry to thousands of leisure channels from around the world and from varied genres and classes.\n\nTherefore, need of refurbished, low-cost computers or used computers have additionally arisen!
