The annual Genoa Homecoming came through a couple of weekends ago. This is when I really love small town life. It's basically a class reunion for Genoa grads. We kicked off the evening at my Grandma's to watch the parade. Well, I did. John, Ava and Addy decided to walk with our church and throw candy!
The girls were able to make it back to watch the end of the parade and hang with the cousins.
After the parade we walked up for fair food and rides. Uncle Carl was in town so we were excited to hang with him too!
Ava and Cora found each other so they were able to ride the rides together.
Another successful homecoming in the books.

Compromise Quotes
287 Compromise quotes:
"Real life is, to most men, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible; but the world of pure reason knows no compromise, no practical limitations, no barrier to the creative activity."
"You may either win your peace or buy it: win it, by resistance to evil; buy it, by compromise with evil"
"You know what the Englishman's idea of compromise is? He says, Some people say there is a God. Some people say there is no God. The truth probably lies somewhere between these two statements."
"Virtue knows that it is impossible to get on without compromise, and tunes herself, as it were, a trifle sharp to allow for an inevitable fall in playing."
Compromise Quotes British Poet QuotesCategory:
"It's a response to the president's very legitimate concerns, and it ought to be the basis of a sound compromise,"
"The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised."
"I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle."
"We must be willing to learn the lesson that cooperation may imply compromise, but if it brings a world advance it is a gain for each individual nation."
"If the funds are not there you compromise treatment, care and prevention and compromising these means compromising millions of lives on the African continent."
"After intense debate and discussion, whereupon the guiding question was whether we compromise with or take on the ZANU-PF dictatorship ... the council resolved to stay out of the ZANU-PF senate project,"
"The test of a successful person is not an ability to eliminate all problems beforethey arise, but to meet and work out difficulties when they do arise. We must bewilling to make an intelligent compromise with perfection lest we wait foreverbefore taking action. It's still good advice to cross bridges as we come to them."
"On a daily basis we're blocking thousands of attacks that would otherwise result in data compromise. All of our clients are under attack 24 hours a day."

text: Probably my favorite Catholic blogger, Mark Shea, has a fine piece up at Inside Catholic which analyzes the biblical evidence for the Perpetual Virginity of Mary. You can read that article here. This is ironic, since a couple weeks back, I finished reading his Mary, Mother of the Son trilogy of books, which I found to be both informative and witty. I highly recommend all three. In particular, the first volume, Modern Myths and Ancient Truth, spends a great deal of time setting the table, so to speak, looking at not only the ancient Christian and non-Christian philosophies, but probably more importantly the a priori assumptions about the Catholic Church's Marian teachings made by those who oppose them. Only at that point does Mark move to volume two to begin analyzing the four major Marian dogmas in depth. Volume three is concerned primarily with Marian devotions and apparitions. Again, I highly recommend all three volumes.

UK telecoms users continue to turn away from the smaller operators preferring the safe haven of BT, although the company could do better to satisfy users demands.
Thats the conclusion of the 11th annual CMA survey of telecoms managers.
Eighty two percent of respondents used BT as their main wireline supplier, a rise from 79 percent from last year (that in itself was the first time that the survey had reported a rise in BTs market share). The clear loser was NTL, whose market share had fallen from 12 percent to eight percent, Cable & Wireless stayed as it was with seven percent.
BT also dominated the Internet market, 40 percent of respondents used the company as their main supplier, a rise from 35 percent last year. MCI/Worldcoms marketshare had plummeted from 17 percent to 10 percent.
However, when respondents were asked how satisfied they were with their suppliers, BT was average, behind the clear leader Telewest.
There was better news for the industry as a whole. Capital expenditure was on the rise during 2003, even if companies were spending less on telecoms services an indication of how costs are falling
The CMA, which represents telecoms and IT managers at major organisations, commissioned HI Europe to conduct a survey of users: 419 responded.
Derek Eccleston, HI Europes technology director said that the signs were good for the industry, with more users feeling secure in their jobs and with expenditure on the increase. He pointed out that some of the alternative operators were still feeling the effects of the collapse of the telecoms market a few years ago, although there were signs that they feeling their way back.

With the support of the Wandsworth Council, Pump House Gallery presents the Outhouse commission 'Confluence: The River Speaks', taking place throughout September and October 2017, combining participation, sound and visuals in the design of a permanent installation at the Ram Quarter Heritage Centre, whose site sits on the estuary of the River Wandle and is set to open in Autumn 2018. Led by multi-disciplinary artist, curator and producer, Helen Frosi, the project takes inspiration from myriad faceted aspects of the river Wandle; delving into its material, social and cultural history, as well as that which may be hidden.
Activities are hands-on and include: drawing and sketching, collecting, field recording, lino printing, listening, local history, material studies, natural history appreciation, poetry, photography, presentations, rambling, soundscapes, vocalisation and aesthetic movement.
All workshops should be suitable for all ages* and are free to attend, booking is essential. *except 'Open Ears!' and 'The River Speaks' which are suitable for persons age 16+.
'Confluence: The River Speaks' has been commissioned on behalf of Greenland Group, developer of The Ram Quarter, as part of an exciting arts programme curated by culture agency Futurecity in partnership with the Pump House Gallery. The project engages with the local community to explore the fascinating history of the River Wandle and the surrounding area. The project is supported by Wandsworth Council and Enable Leisure & Culture and Living Wandle Landscape Partnership. LWLP is an ambitious £2.4m programme funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund celebrating and promoting access to the River Wandle's natural and built heritage.

Attaining High Semantic Clarity and Smart Digital Financial Reporting Tools
Machines can do things to help humans create or use digital financial reports. This help from machines will reduce costs and increase quality. How? Exactly how do you make financial report creation applications smart?
Simple. The first thing you have to do is realize that many of the work practices accountants use today will not be the work practices accountants will use in the future. What if you take the knowledge related to financial reporting, you put as much of that knowledge as possible into machine readable form, and then build software which can make use of that knowledge to assist the users of that software tool in creating financial reports.
Sound odd? Sure, it sounds odd to professional accountants who have been creating financial reports using first paper and typewriters, then paper and word processors, then paper and word processors outputting electronic formats such as PDF and HTML. Work practices will change.
But when you really think about it and realize that Microsoft Word (which is used to create about 85% of financial reports) and Microsoft Excel (which is used to accumulate, aggregate, and organize the stuff that ends up in Microsoft Word) don't understand anything about financial reporting, you can see the opportunity.
Hypothetically, let us say that you wanted to do this. (We will ignore the fact that people are already predicting that this will happen, that the global standards to do this efficiently already exist, software vendors already seem to be doing pieces of this, and that other domains such as health care are working toward this same goal.) How would you do it?
The key is machine readable knowledge with high semantic clarity, making sure the software truly understands financial reports and that users of the software agree that the software understands financial reports and creates those financial reports correctly. How do you achieve that?
First off you have to realize that a machine cannot do everything. Some things are objective and other things are subjective, requiring human judgement. Machines will not do the things that require judgement, humans will still perform those tasks. Machines will take care of the objective tasks, the tasks which can be effectively performed by a machine such as a computer.
So how do you do this and how do you make sure you have high semantic clarity? Here is the summary:
- Classification system: You will need some sort of classification system. Some classification systems are more expressive than others. The classification system should be flexible or extensible because financial reports are not forms. The classification system should be a global standard so that the classification system can be shared as broadly as possible to keep the costs of creating and maintaining the classification system within reason.
- Syntax: You will have to express the information in the classification system you come up with in some machine readable syntax. Some syntaxes are more expressive than others. Some are more flexible than others. Is the syntax a global standard or proprietary? A global standard would be preferable.
- Business rules: You will need to express the business rules of the domain as completely as possible so that (a) people understand and agree on those business rules and (b) information can be validated against those business rules to make sure the information created is correct. Both of these work together to make sure financial reports are created correctly.
- Interoperability: No one business system can do everything that is necessary. You will want to leverage business rules and other metadata from other systems so interoperability is important. This will help keep costs down. One of the problems with software today is that the software is centered on itself, not on the user or what the user needs to do. What if software were truly user centric or task centric? What if all the resources used to create a financial report were available within the same software application? The Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), GAAP guides, disclosure checklists, audit guides, accounting trends and techniques, etc. What if all these things were not human readable things, but things that were both machinge readable and human readable. What if you had an integrated "Chat" window where you could ask for advice from a professional. What if you could get on-demand training on a topic you had not yet been exposed to. I could go on and on.
A domain classification system can be on the formal side, or on the informal side. Achieving the appropriate balance is important. This graphic from the Ontology Summit provides a sense of this
The graphic below based on work by Leo Obrst of Mitre as interpreted by Dan McCreary shows the trade-off between semantic clarity and time/money required to obtain that semantic clarity:
This second graphic, similar to the graphic above from the Semantics Overview, adds the syntactic, structual, and semantic interoperability into the equation and changes the "Time/Money" axis from above into the "Reasoning capacity" axis:
What is really encouraging is that even without the approprite software tools, accountants creating SEC XBRL financial filings are getting a high level of reported information correct when evaluated against a set of seven criteria. Admittedly these criteria do not exercise the entire digital financial report. But it is a start and provides both a beach head to start with and a framework to work within. A roadmap would be very helpful. Clearly quality needs to grow to a level of 99.9% or better if that is possible. Learning from SEC XBRL financial filings will help strike the appropriate balance.


text: [Application] A method for ion implantation is disclosed which includes decreasing the implant energy level as the implant process is ongoing. In this way, either a box-like profile or a profile with higher retained dose can be achieved, enabling enhanced activation at the same junction depth. In one embodiment, the initial implant energy is used to implant about 25% of the dose. The implant energy level is then reduced and an additional 50% of the dose is implanted. The implant energy is subsequently decreased again and the remainder of the dose is implanted. The initial portion of the dose can optionally be performed at cold, such as cryogenic temperatures, to maximize amorphization of the substrate.

Ideas for a basement family room: create a space your whole family can enjoy
Traditional solutions using organic materials are built on the hope of never having water in the basement…ever! The Total Basement Finishing system, on the other hand, is designed for the homeowner who wants to finish the basement, and not have to worry about the potential of water damage down the road.
In other words, finish it once and only once.
While many homeowners consider a finished basement for the kids to have somewhere to play, we would like to challenge your thinking to include YOUR needs as well. Here is a list of fun activities you and your family can do together in your basement family room:
Read: Create a family library with a bookshelf, comfortable chairs and task lighting.
Talk: Form conversational groupings that provide ample seating for those times when more is more!
Play: Set up a game table and dig up the old board games and playing cards.
Be Entertained: Watch your favorite TV programs together or crank up the music to kick off a dance party! Disco ball optional.
Whether you want to use the space as a basement family room, a game room, or home theater, a finished basement offers endless possibilities for creating a space that the whole family can enjoy!
Perhaps you need some guidance when it comes to deciding on what to make of your finished basement, or perhaps you have a dream plan in mind, but could use some ideas for basement remodeling to get started. Whatever the case, Total Basement Finishing's basement finishing contractors can help you turn your basement remodeling plan into a reality!

61 Years
(photo by David Wittig & Nancy Beale)
Today would have been my father's 61st birthday…and the first June 12th of my lifetime that I can't call him on the phone to wish him a happy birthday, that I can't drive over to give him a hug, take him out to lunch or celebrate with him like we always did. My own birthdays have not been particularly important once I passed the 21 year mark but each of my Daddy's birthdays was an opportunity to celebrate. Last year we threw a party to celebrate 60…which was already a decade of what felt like borrowed time. After 10 years of living with and being successfully treated for Multiple Myeloma (a rare blood cancer), last October my father was also diagnosed with AML leukemia and just 3 months later died with my sister and I at his side. Just the three of us, quietly, peacefully enjoying each other's company…singing the songs to him that he sang to us as children.
The days, weeks and months since January 18th have been passing slowly as I get used to my new reality. Someone told me that losing a parent is like losing an arm or a leg. You can get used to living without it and it will even get easier with time, but you'll always know that there's a gaping hole where it used to be. I've found that to be quite accurate. Some days are harder than others. Today I felt inspired to finally write this blog post that has been too hard to write for so long.
There's something interesting that happens to you when you lose a parent. You really start to think consciously about the things that they taught you and reflect upon how those lessons continue to affect your life day after day. My father was probably the most generous person I've ever met in my lifetime. He took great care to remember and acknowledge birthdays and important dates. He loved Christmas and he loved buying and watching us open tons of presents, even when we only wanted to play with the boxes they came in. He loved to teach us things. He built my sister and I a workshop in our basement when we were little and we both had tool sets where we liked to nail blocks of wood together with tiny hammers. He took flying lessons. He was an avid skydiver. He tried teaching me about lift and about molecular particles when I was 6. He helped me with science projects which were always far too complicated for my age. He took me on roller coasters even though he hated them. He was the only one who could help me with math homework after a certain age. He helped me with all of my computer problems which were many. In fact, he helped everyone he ever knew with their computer problems as well. When he had the money, he was always the one to buy a round of drinks for strangers, send flowers to friends, and never expected anything in return. Because he was that generous. The reward for him was in knowing that he affected someone else's happiness.
I don't particularly remember my father teaching me lessons with words. He never actually said "be kind" or "be generous". But he taught me that these things were important by doing them, by living the way he lived. In the last weeks of his life, I wrote my Daddy a letter and read it to him aloud. When it became obvious that the treatment was not working, I came to a point when I felt I needed to let him off the hook. I needed to tell him what he had taught me and that I would be okay if he needed to go. I promised him that I would try every day to be kind to people. We held each other and cried together. I think that was all he needed to hear. Within 2 weeks he was gone. But his legacy lives on through his daughters and through his friends. And today on his would be birthday, I am grateful for the 33 years I had with him. He saw me grow up, graduate from high school, graduate from college. He walked me down the aisle on my wedding day, danced with me. Obsessively grandparented my dogs. And he even got to see my new studio space even if he never got to see it finished. He is still a part of my daily life and the best reminder of how I want to live my life.
Happy birthday Daddy. I love you and I miss you.

James Varner does not just take center stage when he performs in a high school play. He also wants to be the center of attention by making his characters unique.
The 17-year-old Shanskville-Stonycreek High School senior has performed in about nine productions throughout high school — three of which were the school's senior class plays.
"I like drama because it gives you the chance to be something other than yourself," he said. "In the real world you aren't really free to do that."
Varner has been a member of the drama club since he was a freshman, and currently he is the club's president. He is also president of the school's chapter of the International Thespian Society.
He became interested in drama from watching his brother perform and watching other area high school plays. The dynamics of different characters attracted Varner to drama, and he said, he tries to make each character he plays unique.

We are having problems with one of our forms. People are filling out the form and then hitting submit, which should then take them to PayPal. Most people are not having any problems, but some are reporting that when they hit submit the screen goes to a blank page and it never takes them to PayPal. We don't get any version of the submission at all -- not even in the folder "incomplete payments".Page URL:
- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on February 21, 2017 at 05:58 PM
I checked your form and the payment is properly configured.
Your stand alone form is also working fine.
May we know if you have embedded the form on your website? If yes, let us know the URL.
Users experiencing the problem may have a problem with their network or browser when they are filling the form. You can ask them to try again or use different browser if necessary.
FYI, if the form does not direct to Paypal yet or if they are still on the form, submissions won't be listed in the incomplete payments list.
- HAWSFormsAnswered on February 22, 2017 at 10:49 AM
Thanks for the fast response. We do have the form embedded on our website. Here's the link:
We'd like to get this figured out because although it doesn't affect most of the people using the form, we are getting one or two calls a day with this complaint. It's a pretty lengthy form and I'd like to avoid having people fill it out more than once.
- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on February 22, 2017 at 12:56 PM
I tested the form on your website twice and it is redirecting properly to Paypal.
I could not reproduce the problem here. Do you have any idea on what browser they were experiencing the problem? If you can also come up with the steps on how to reproduce the problem, we'd be more than happy to check and escalate it to our developers if necessary.
- HAWSFormsAnswered on February 22, 2017 at 03:16 PM
I know a couple of people have said they are using Explorer. It is frustrating because we are getting several successful form submissions each day, but randomly we hear that someone is having problems.
- JotForm SupportNik_CAnswered on February 22, 2017 at 05:55 PM
Depends on which version of Internet Explorer they are using as well, with latest Internet Explorer and Edge it should work. Now, it is hard to be sure that submitters will have up to date Browser, so maybe you could put a Text field that will inform them that if they are using an older version of Internet Explorer they should switch to some other Browser before they start filling the form.
For example:
Hope it helps.
Let us know if you have any further questions.
Thank you!
- HAWSFormsAnswered on February 28, 2017 at 11:35 AM
We are still having issues with this. One recent complaint was a Safari user, and the other Chrome. We really need to get this resolved because it's becoming a customer service problem.
- JotForm SupportNik_CAnswered on February 28, 2017 at 01:36 PM
I'm sorry that the issue is still appearing. I tested your form in my Safari Browser several times (version 10) but I couldn't replicate the problem, every time it redirected me to PayPal.
I'm afraid that we need more information because I'm not able to find the cause of such issue, what are the versions they were using, or if they have any plugin, extension in their Browser that could cause this problem.
We'll wait for your response.
Thank you!
- HAWSFormsAnswered on February 28, 2017 at 03:31 PM
Would this have anything to do with the message in the green box you have on the forums page that says: "We are aware of the file upload issue and are working to fix it now. Thank you for your patience."?
- JotForm SupportNik_CAnswered on February 28, 2017 at 04:45 PM
Unfortunately, I would say no. Since this problem just occurred and it is reflecting differently. Forms can be submitted, but files uploaded are not accessible.
- HAWSFormsAnswered on March 27, 2017 at 01:19 PM
I actually created a brand new form and we are apparently still having problems. I just talked to a woman who was using and Ipad with Safari and then her laptop with Chrome and she said she hit the submit button and it took her to an all white page both times.
The URL that came up on that white page was: Secure | https://submit.jotformpro.com/server.php
The new form that we are using is: https://form.jotform.com/70594686377978
- KadeJMAnswered on March 27, 2017 at 05:37 PM
Upon further investigation I found that I am able to replicate the issue with the blank page even though I am not currently seeing any errors causing it.
Please remove the captcha from your form then test again and let us know if the issue is still happening on your end or not?
- HAWSFormsAnswered on March 27, 2017 at 06:15 PM
So don't have a capcha at all? Or remove it and replace it? If we don't have a capcha will that cause spam registrations to come in?
- JotForm SupportWelvinAnswered on March 27, 2017 at 10:05 PM
I would suggest doing the following:
1. Replace the default captcha with Google Re-capcha so users don't need to fill in a box, just a tick of a checkbox.
2. Re-embed the form using our iframe method: https://www.jotform.com/help/148-Getting-the-Form-iFrame-Code. I suspect there is a conflict causing the blank page in the form. The iframe should fix it.
I hope that works. Let us know if the issue persists.

After very high hopes for the Raiders in 2013 - they had the preseason Patriot League offensive player of the year, QB Gavin McCarney, and were picked as the preseason favorites to win the Patriot League's autobid - the Fightin' Biddles suffered through injuries - none huger than the dogging ones to McCarney - to fall to a 4-8 record.
If there's one thing that the HooDoos were able to do in an outstanding way with Biddle at the helm, it's getting quality, Patriot League championship-caliber athletes to play football in the middle of frigid Hamilton. The Patsy Point system, too, acknowledges this, with the Gate securing a whopping 73 Patsy Points last year.
In Hamilton, Colgate transitions from Biddle (known to Lehigh fans, heretoforth, as "Bobblehead Biddle") to Hunt. How did Dan Hunt's Patsy class measure up to that of his boss?
The idea of the Mean Red Machine announcing Biddle's retirement and Hunt's hiring early in the offseason had to have been timed minimize any negative impacts on recruiting. If you're judging Colgate's recruiting by the number of starred recruits in their incoming class, you will be enormously pleased with their haul. (Consequently, if you were hoping that their coaching transition would mean a smaller Patsy Point class, prepare to be disappointed.)
Getting starred recruits to snowy Hamilton is what the Colgate coaching staff does. They've been doing it for years, and the Hunt era has effortlessly continued that trend. That's is not as easy as these Patsy Point ratings would have you believe.
Perusing last year's defensive stats for the Hamiltonians, two statistics stand out:: 97th in FCS in total sacks, and 92nd in FCS in total defense. Those are not numbers that will scare anyone in the Patriot League. Those two numbers would also seem to dictate a recruiting class larded with defensive players, and certainly some of those aforementioned starred players should feature prominently in this class.
But that's just it: in what was a crying need area (and, remember, team needs are determined by the Colgate fans themselves, not some Committee member), what should have been the strongest part of the class was instead was THE weakest. The Committee was shocked at this.
As a result, Colgate left a ton of Patsy "needs points" on the table. It also makes The Committee wonder if this is going to bite the Maroons in some way in future years.
"I know I should have recruited that three-star, 300 lb nose tackle that ended up at Cornell..."
QUALITY = 49. Last year, I said Colgate had a massive haul in terms of the quality points of their class. They had 37, and I was marveling at the percentage of their class that were mentioned by the recruiting services (71%).
Incredibly, this year the Raiders actually bested that number by a giant 12 Patsy Point margin.
16/20, or an even 80%, at least had a page at one of the major recruiting services. Even more astoundingly, though, 8 of the 20 were starred recruits at one of the four services.
Where Colgate chopped their wood was by getting the two-star, unconfirmed guys, defined as a player that had a two-star rating at exactly one recruiting service. Seven Maroon recruits fit this bill, which resulted in 35 of these 49 points.
Even more interestingly, this was the first year I included star ratings from the upstart of the recruiting services, 247Sports.com, and three of the recruits were two-star recruits on this site, but not on the traditional scouting sites of Scout, Rivals, or ESPN (though some did have pages on these sites).
If The Committee had not made the executive decision to add 247Sports to the ratings, Colgate would have had, conservatively, ten fewer points in this category.
CLASS SIZE = 3. 20 Recruits. The base size of recruits was reached, and the four extra recruits yielded bonus points.
DISTRIBUTION = 8. Every position had a signed recruit - with the exception of kicker. It's unclear if coach Hunt has the same "we don't need no stinkin' kicker" philosophy that coach Biddle seemed to have at times as head coach, but in any event, it means Colgate scores eight of the nine possible points.
"If you're coming to Colgate, son, you'll have to be perfect converting kicks in this..."
SPEED = 6. Speed information was sketchy for this bunch of maroons, but three recruits did yield measurable speed information that translated into a decent Patsy Point haul.
TRIGGER = 1. The one QB in the incoming class fogged a mirror of most of the recruiting services, and thus earned the class one additional Patsy Point.
JUMBO = 3. If there's a number that might mildly disappoint the Colgate faithful, it's this one. Most years, the future Raider linemen are maybe two cheeseburgers from topping 300 lbs. Instead, of their six recruited linemen, only three met the "Jumbo" criteria - and did so barely.
DL = 0 (of 5). As mentioned, this was an obvious need area for the Maroon, whether judging by numbers, or production from last year. The result was, instead, two recruits, with one of them with a page in the recruiting services. Even if one of the two recruits becomes the next DE Ahmad Russell - and they might - Colgate did not meet the need on an overall level.
Whaddaya mean, no Patsy Points on the defensive line?
LB = 1 (of 4). It wasn't much better at the second announced need area for Colgate, though they at least had a lot more numbers at this position (4) than defensive line. The depth, and the fact that two had pages on the recruiting websites, resulted in one Patsy Point.
OL = 3 (of 3). It's here, where the OL Paul Clasby-esque recruits show up for Colgate. The "Maroon 5" offensive linemen (one guy is listed as a OL/DL, but he counts as an OL for Patsy point purposes) feature two starred recruits, great numbers, and four out of five of them have a page on the recruiting websites. That's a well-met Patsy Point need right there.
(Incidentally, that's a picture of Paul Clasby above, showing that there has always been a history of Colgate and offensive linemen. As far as the Committee knows, Paul Clasby is not a current member of Maroon 5, however.)
COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENT: 0. When you look around in the world and you see the political environment in 2014, you see a politically divided, cantankerous country. The cantankerous Committee is no exception as for what to so with Committee Adjustment points.
One faction looked over the ratings systems suspiciously, sniffling extra loudly at the 247Sports rankings and the extra Patsy Points they wrought. "Inflation," was overheard from one Committee member who looked not unlike Alan Greenspan.
This faction of the Committee put together a proposal to deduct a certain number of Patsy Points due to questions about the new scouting system's reliability - and the unforeseen effects of adding another Rating service to the mix. "Four is greater than three," it was overheard, "and that means more stars, and more Patsy Point inflation. Records might be broken in this incoming class, and it's not because the kids are THAT much better - it's because of methodology."
Then, though, there was another faction, led by a Committee member that looked not unlike Sergey Brin, who thought such talk of Patsy Point inflation to be ridiculous.
"We agreed last month that more data was better," he said, "and 247, though new, is reliable enough for Patsy purposes. In fact, have you seen Scout lately? Is that actually a bastion of scientific fact? Was it ever?"
This difference of opinion didn't result in any fistfights (though it did involve flying staplers), but it did result in a perfect stalemate as to what to do about it. The ensuing gridlock resulted in no Patsy Point adjustment trying to judge the veracity of the publicly-available scouting ratings.

Hammarby vs AIK:
Swedish Allsvenskan
Date: Sunday, July 24, 2016
Kick-off: 14:00 UK Time
Venue: Tele2 Arena (Stockholm).
A relegation threatened Hammarby face a tough test when they host top table hopefuls AIK Solna on Sunday afternoon.
Hammarby were blown out of proportion in their previous fixture at home last weekend by the rock bottom side Gefle. The visitors rushed to a 3-0 lead at the break, but an invigorated performance by Hammarby in the early parts of second half set the scores at 3-3. They lost away to Hacken in the previous week and are now without a win in the last two. They remain with just one win from their previous 10 matches and rightly stay at the 14th place in the league table, the last and final relegation spot.
AIK Solna are coming on the back of the Europa League qualifying round victory against Europa FC in midweek and are dealt with a tough draw against Greek giants Panathinaikos in the next round. They will be prioritizing the hunt for European glory, but have a good chance for challenging for Swedish Allsvenskan title this season. They are currently fifth in the standings at a 7 point gap from league leaders Malmo. Their position should have been better, but they had drawn in each of their last three league fixtures, dropping 6 points. They haven't lost a league match since April and are unbeaten in the last 8 games.
Hammarby vs AIK: Head-to-Head Stats
- Overall (30 matches): AIK – 15 wins, Hammarby – 8 wins, Draws – 7.
- Hammarby at home vs AIK (14 matches): 2 wins, 4 draws, 8 losses.
- The teams faced-off each other in the quarter finals of this season's Svenska Cup, which was won by Hammarby on penalties after the scores tied at 1-1 at full time.
- Hammarby were winners of the same fixture last season by 1-0, while they lost the away fixture 0-2.
Hammarby vs AIK: Prediction
Hammarby had found it pretty hard to win games later, whether its at home or away and they will go in as huge underdogs. While AIK is a quality side and will be desperate for a win after their last three mixtures end in draws. Also, AIK haven't lost a league game since the last week of April.
My prediction for this game is a 2-1 win for the visiting side, and I back both teams to score and expect over 2.5 goals.
Hammarby vs AIK: Tips
- AIK to win.
- Over 2.5 goals.
- Both Teams to Score.

Ronnie Fieg x New Balance 999 "Steel Blue"
Ronnie Fieg is now a legend in the streetwear industry. His KITH stores in Brooklyn and Soho are now meccas in you are interested in style and in the topic of this post, New Balances. The iconic New Balance 1300CL is one of Ronnie's favorite sneaker styles and now he releases his own version of the classic sneaker with it being billed as the New Balance 999 "Steel Blue." The sneaker saw its first release in 1984 and featured a $130 price tag as it was targeted to the high end running market. Ronnie Fieg and New Balance 999 "Steel Blue" will feature a premium suede upper with pigskin leather, contrasting laces, a sockliner and a steely blue colorway.
Look out later this year for the release of this sneaker at Ronnie's KITH store.
Other Coverage
If you know Ronnie Fieg, you know he reps New York (Queens to be precise) to the fullest, with the Soho and Brooklyn locations of his Kith stores becoming home to an enviable NB lifestyle selection. You'll also know that the iconic New Balance 1300CL is his favorite shoe of all time, and if you've written that shoe off as something too sensible, come back in few years – you'll understand one day. Introduced in late 1984 and targeted at serious runners, the 1300's $130+ price point made it the Mercedes of sports footwear and one of the most expensive sneakers of all time. Taking inflation and earnings into account, it still might be the costliest.
Source: Sneaker Freaker
There is little doubt that the forthcoming New Balance 999 shoe created in collaboration with Ronnie Fieg will be the label's most notable release this year. The "Steel Blue" is a subtle homage, and a modern rendition of the 1984 New Balance 1300CL — Fieg's all-time favorite shoe. The new 999 is constructed from a blend of premium suede and pigskin leathers, arriving in a handsome steely blue colorway, and finished with contrasting laces and an unassuming sockliner. Slated for a release later this year, Steel Blue 999 will be launched alongside a separate Kith and New Balance collaborative collection that will be initially available for the first 50 people in line at Fieg's Kith Soho and Brooklyn stores. You can read more about the history, and unique backstory of the iconic 1300CL below.

Dreamwalk began in 2002 as a series of nightly dreams containing various abstracted, slightly haunting landscapes. The first dream had a darkly intense, stark horizon line with storm clouds in the sky, with an animated bigger-than-life Snoopy and Charlie Brown fighting, comically tumbling over each other (with cartoon dust kicking up), along this realistic, somber backdrop. The juxtaposition was both haunting and humorous. (This became "Solace" and "Stormy Passage," but without the Charlie Brown characters.) The second dream was another somber, intensely stark landscape superimposed with abstracted lines and images that represented trips I taken in the past, and all the unfinished emotions they still contained. (This became "Trying to Recall" and "Ripe.") I was intrigued by the dreams' moods as well as the visual images, and attempted to reconstruct them on canvas. I didn't actually succeed at capturing them, but the paintings became their own thing, and took on a life of their own.
Some paintings didn't come from dreams, but from waking experiences that seemed to blur and dissolve the line between 3D waking life and the multidimensionality of dreamtime, between the literal and the mythic. ("Sweat Lodge," "A Day in a Buddhist Temple," "Haven," "On That Day.") These waking experiences, even though they didn't occur during lucid dreams or sleep time, were still borne of the same stuff, arriving at the same non-linear space, which I have dubbed in my personal lexicon as dreamwalking.
Main influences: Lucid dreaming. Daydreaming. North and South American Indian shamanism. Celtic spirituality. Buddhism. Hinduism. That which can't be seen or measured, where it meets the senses. Nature. Multidimensionality. Nonlinear spaces. David Park. Richard Diebenkorn. Landscape painters.

Faith Decline!
by Carol Yasin
Have you lost hope in God? Are you suffering from Faith distress? Doesn't know how to rekindle your faith? Have your prayers not answered? I was travelling in this boat once and often I do, but God is so faithful that He takes me out of it and places me in the 'Faith-Boat'. I am not perfect. I often fell down and He sends me people and His Word to lift me up. He had taught me through various people and circumstances, how to stay out of 'Faith-Decline' and stay close to Him.
Our human faith doesn't remain the same always. Mine doesn't. It wavers always, when trouble comes. The faith which I had once when I was a child no longer exists now. My faith goes up and down in a graph, but His faithfulness remains the same forever. Sometimes we don't know that our faith is getting declined. We never knew it. We might be a regular church-goer, reading our Bible daily, take part in all the fellowship activities, but still we may fail to notice that our faith is weakening. What are the signs which show that our faith is getting weakened?
- Blaming God for the things happening in your life
Sometimes, we mix God with our circumstances. When we experience bad things happening in our life, we start blaming God. We will start thinking that God is playing with our life. We end up thinking God is so cruel to let these things happen in our lives.
When I lost my first child in my womb, around seven months, my faith was almost shattered. I started crying loudly, "Why did God allow this in my life?" Often we lament as Jeremiah did, "He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship" (Lamentation 3:5). When you confuse the source of the trouble, you start blaming God for all the things happening in our life. Remember, He is the only one Who can truly help you and you are the apple of His eye. He is our refuge in times of trouble.
"The Lord is the refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble" – Psalm 9:9
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" – Psalm 46:1
- Remembering the bad things happened in your life at times of trouble
When we are in trouble, we start remembering all the bad things happened in our life instead of focusing on what God has done in our past. It causes our soul to downcast as the weeping prophet says, "I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me." (Lamentations 3:19-20)
We push the 'replay' button again and again and start blabbering to our friends, relatives and everyone. We start thinking of it in our mind going over and over. Dear friend, if you are in such a situation, remember, you are not alone. Put your hope in God and focus on Him. You need to set your soul down, give it a good talking to and make it listen as David did, "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon – from Mount Mizar." (Psalm 42:5-6).
- Struggling in your prayer life
When your mind starts confessing that the trouble comes from God, it's when your prayer life takes a blow! Sometimes, our prayers might be worse than the non-believers. We start complaining, bargaining in our prayers and at times we get angry and shout to God. We start shutting our ears for His voice. We start complaining that God is not answering our prayers and He has shut His ears "Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer "(Lamentations 3:8).
When faith starts declining, we may unable or unwilling to pray. But pray anyway. He knows your heart. No one knows your pain better than Him.
- Being in a confused state
This is the next stage of Faith-decline. We start confusing ourselves and we don't know where to go. We confuse our directions and we don't know what decisions to make. We sometimes feel like God showed a way and He himself shut it. But, God is not the One who break His promises as men does. He has been faithful forever. God is not out to confuse you. He will make your path clear. Be patient and watch out what He is doing.
Now, we know how are faith keeps weakening. What are the ways to develop our faith? The first step is discovering the factors which decrease our faith and the second step is to start working on it and take charge of your spiritual life. Here are some lessons God taught me during my difficult times.
- Stay positive
To change our thinking is the first step in developing our faith. Get rid of the negative thoughts in your mind and the thoughts and imaginations planted by the devil. Take control of your mind. Select the right channel. Erase the bad memories. Remember the good things that God has done in your past. Don't think of your trouble, instead focus on God. Think about God and His character. Remember your answered prayers and pray again, saying, "Do it again, Lord". Practicing remembering the good things He has done for us will develop our faith muscles.
- Stay calm and quiet
Sit in silence and start listening to Him (Lamentations 3:28). Tell to your mind that you are not alone. Have a quiet time with God. Keep it regular. Find a place and find a time. Discover Him in the garden of your soul. Isaiah affirmed that "in quietness and trust is your strength" (Isaiah 30:15). The spiritual concepts of nourishment, satisfaction, strength, and confidence will be realized in 'quietness'. Stay calm and stay with God.
- Forgive yourself
It was often hard for me to forgive myself. I was very sensitive and often sit with guiltiness and never take a step to come out of it and go to the next level. Are you guilty? Can't you forgive yourself? If we are to cry to God and tell Him, whether He remembers the worst thing He has done, He won't. Remember the love and patience it took for Him to show us His mercy and grace. He doesn't forgive you partially, he forgives you completely. The problem is staying still enough and silent enough to allow God the chance to do His renewing work. Shift your heart from you to Him. This takes time and discipline. When it takes place, you will stop thinking about yourself.
- Believe in His goodness
We read in Lamentations 3:25 as, "The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him"
When I lost my first child, I went into a 'faith-decline' mode. I heard my relatives praying, "God, be good to the child". But whatever happens, isn't God good? God is good all the times. After losing him, one of my friends advised me never to ask 'Why' to God. This boosted me to come out of it and made me to get stronger in faith despite the bad outcome. Bad things that happen do not change the character of God. He is good always.
"Unwavering faith in God's goodness is a display of faith that amazes the world and brings great glory to God" – Anonymous
- Stop Complaining
When we are persistent in God's goodness, we will stop complaining. Are you busy complaining at this moment? Stop complaining. God wants us to put one of those up on the all our minds, too. It is very hard to be silent when we are in a tough situation. But humble yourself and submit to God and be patient, knowing that He permitted it. We always gripe and complain. It is natural. But remember that in the Old Testament, God constantly warns the Israelite's to stop complaining. He says in 1 Corinthians 10:10, "Do not grumble…"
The spirit of humble submission to hardship will display a faith that is working in our life.
Whatever and wherever you are at any given moment of any given day, God is enough. Who better than God knows what we need? He knew us before we knew us. He will turn our mourning into laughter and sorrows into shouts of triumph. You'll see, for He never changes. God bless!

Ashley is new to modelling and we set up a little casual fashion shoot. She was very shy to start with but soon relaxed and we tried a few different sets. This was my favourite shot at a window using a ringflash as a fill light. I'm hoping to work with Ashley again in 2011 so if you like the looks of her be sure to check back and see.

First – get your minds out of the gutter. tsk. tsk.
With the American Thanksgiving coming up in a few days, which then leads to the Christmas season, I know from experience that many people struggle with the dreaded Holiday Blues. Depression aside, in some cases, what that means is over-eating and eating so much holiday goodies that you invariably gain at least 10 pounds over a short period of time. At least.
This is not something new. It's been happening for a very long time. I can't even begin to tell you how many people have complained to me about the weight they gained over the holidays. It has a worse reputation than the "Freshman 15".
It starts with Thanksgiving. Most people that I know, stuff a 20 pound turkey with a bread-infused stuffing, add all the fixings from mashed potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce, rolls, gravy and anything else you can think of – and that's just for dinner – and then proceed to stuff themselves into a stupor – an over-stuffed food haze.
Forget the tryptophan, people get tired and sleepy after eating at Thanksgiving because they over-indulge. Then they sit around, their bellies full and the inability to move off the couch continues until it's time to get up for another dose – usually in the form of a turkey sandwich.
It's a vicious cycle really.
Add in all the deserts that most families tend to have around the house and it's a recipe for disaster. I remember a lot as a kid my mom spending time baking sweets for the holidays. Pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving and maybe Christmas. Fruit cake, Rice Crispy Squares, chocolate-drop cookies and maybe some date squares and butter tarts (we are Canadian after all) – the list can be endless. Then visiting family and friends who always put out a spread when they had company over and it can become a holiday of excess.
I've found after some experimentation and observation that those that eat more sweets as snacks gain more weight than those who would snack on the salty treats like popcorn and chips. No lie. I've seen it with my own two eyes. I don't know what that is exactly as both are bad snacking choices but it's true.
Since I've moved to the States, I would normally spend my Thanksgiving alone. As well, the US Thanksgiving is in November but the Canadian one is in October. Either way, I spent it alone and therefore, not only do I not stuff myself into oblivion but I also didn't spend that time over-indulging in holidays treats. Last year I was invited to a co-worker's house to spend it with her family, so manners dictate that I not gorge myself while visiting someone's home. Egro…I really need to be invited to more houses over the holidays.
I'm going to her home again this year. 🙂
As I've gotten older, my mom has baked less – if at all now – and I don't really find that I miss it. Sure, I do crave some fruit cake or date squares around this Season but if I don't have either, I'm okay with that. Why?
I actually am not a sweets person. I've stated I'm not a "foodie" and that's true. But I'm also not big on the sugar-infested candies, cakes, pies and cookies that you would see during the holidays. Diabetes aside, I really do not have much of a sweet tooth.
I often would joke that I can be in a room full of sweets and not bat an eye but put me in the back of a Lays truck and look out. Think: Tasmanian Devil.
That's not to say that I never eat sweets. I do. But because of just how "sweet" those types of delicacies are, even one peanut butter cup is enough for me in one sitting. I have a "Sweet Threshold" apparently. Who knew? So I can go without sweets and not break a sweat – and for this I thank the little Baby Jesus.
Not only do I not need sweets because of my diabetes, but I don't need sweets because of my weight. Obviously. I can only imagine how big I would be if I really liked a lot of food (was a "foodie") AND loved sweets. Good grief but that thought scares me.
So, in the case of the title of this post, "turkey" refers to my body, more to the point, my stomach. Which frankly, is far to big already. Add in that even though I know how awful I feel when I over-eat normally (and it's much too much a too-frequent occurrence as it is), it doesn't usually stop me from being stupid. And face it, over-stuffing yourself is stupid.
Below are some ideas to help you if you find yourself stuffing your turkey much too much during the holidays. As with any advice, "knowing" and "doing" are two completely different things, but it's my belief that even if you somewhat curb your normal routine, it's still a good thing. And if you can go – pardon the pun – cold turkey, then more power to you and I worship the ground you walk on, you will-power Maverick.
Get it? 😛
Helpful Ways to Try to Avoid Over-Indulging During the Holidays
- Don't Arrive Hungry: If going out to a party or as my grandmother used to say "galavanting* around", a good idea is to not arrive hungry. If you suspect you'll be offered plenty of food and snacks while visiting, or if it's a party where that is normally a given, drink plenty of water before and during to help suppress your hunger. In addition, if possible, eat a small healthy meal prior to going out where you know temptation will be. That's not to say that you can't enjoy a little bit of food, but if you want to avoid the over-stuffed feeling – and later the feelings of guilt for over-indulging – plan ahead. This can also be used if you'll be spending the day at the mall shopping for gifts so you're not tempted to eat in the Food Court where most foods are "fast" and unhealthy.
- Enjoy the People around you: Whether you're attending a party or visiting family or friends, the biggest part of the event really shouldn't be the food. It should be the company you're keeping. The people around you. Maybe they are family or friends you don't see very often. Spend the time with them, talking and engaging them, to distract yourself from all of the temptations over there on the delectable and beautifully decorated holiday treat table. And if you're at a party and there's dancing – kick up your feet and show them your moves – even if they are from 1984.
- Lay off or limit the booze: Before you break out the pitch-forks & torches or send out a posse after me at this idea, by limiting the amount of alcohol you intake, especially at a holiday party, not only are you limiting the amount of empty calories but you're also aiding your natural desire to snack while you drink. Ever wonder why peanuts or pretzels are served at a bar? Ever hear not putting beer with pizza? Food and drink just go together. And if you're someone (ahem) who might also over-indulge in their libations, and then tends to over-eat, this might be the time to think about limitations. Or cutting out alcohol all together.
- Buffets: The Evil Among Us: If you're attending an event where there is a buffet, turn and run like the devil possess you. If not, grab the smallest plate you can and try to choose the "better for you" foods such as the veggies, fruits and maybe some shrimp. Watch for anything deepfried and sauces. Then after you've eaten plenty of the "good stuff", you can maybe go back and try a small portion of something else but you'll be fuller and less tempted to stuff your face.
- Eat Slower: Give yourself some time to enjoy the food but at a much slower pace. Don't try to come up with some "great" idea that you'll only eat in the first half hour of the event and find yourself stuffing your face in that time frame like you're in some sort of pie-eating contest. Instead, as with any meal, slow down. Put your fork down often and chew your food more slowly and more often.
- The Sweet that really turns you on: Instead of trying a sampling (or more) of every dessert on the table before you, look closely at the offerings and decide what is the one item that really turns you on. Which one sets your sails aflutter? Maybe it's something you rarely eat or have the opportunity to try. For me, this is steak. I rarely have steak so when I go out to dinner to a nice place (and I rarely go out to dinner), I want to have a steak, not something I can have at any time like pasta or chicken. So fine the one dessert that makes your mouth water, and take a small portion of that and ENJOY. Savor the taste that make your taste-buds dance and be confident enough to then walk away from the dessert table.
I hope some of these might help anyone who dreads the pitfalls of holiday eating. I feel the more conscious we are of it before we engage in these instances, the better prepared we might be to enjoy ourselves without the fear of breaking the deadly sin of Gluttony.
So go forth, my silly friends, and enjoy the pleasures of the holidays without later living with the guilt…and the extra pounds. The last thing many of us want or need is to then deal with the extra time it will take to lose it all. Especially if you're a stress or guilt eater.
In summary:
Blessings. love, safety and peace to everyone. For those in the places that will endure that fluffy white crap called snow, be extra diligent and safe. If you're like me, I add the stress of potential breaking bones to my list of stresses every winter.
