'Batman: Arkham Knight' is coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC in September 2014 - and yes, it's developed by Rocksteady!
The follow-up to the hugely well received Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games, as well as last year's more muted sequel Arkham Origins, looks set to introduce more vehicles and a wider cityscape to explore, as well as the traditional line-up of villains, gadgets and darker than black storytelling.
Take a look at the first trailer below.
Here's the announcement press release:
Today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment are announcing Batman: Arkham Knight, Rocksteady Studios' conclusion to the series of award-winning titles Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. Batman: Arkham Knight is based on DC Comics' core Batman license and is scheduled to be released worldwide on PS4 in 2014.
In the explosive finale to the Arkham series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city that he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy The Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise.

Petar Smiljanic was born in Valjevo, Serbia in 1985. He graduated from Faculty of Architecture in 2009 in Belgrade, Serbia. After he finished master in Architecture he was working in several international companies. He showed passion about painting in his early age learning from his father who is engaged to this art. He is currently based in Shenzhen China, where in parallel to his job as an architect he strives to express his passions on canvas.
Artist statement
''Human Arch - Scape'' is a series of paintings that interpret the human figure as building block of architectural cityscape. Using various levels of abstraction and experimenting with the scale artist develops a dialog in which the human is simultaneously city's creator and destroyer of its physical and social ecosystems. Knowledge, sense of space, perspective as well as digital media techniques derived from his architectural background help him create a unity of the human and the city in a contextual heterogeneous matrix. The context varies depending on artis's current location, interests and emotions, all of which are explored in his painting process.
The portrait series showing existence and presence in the city. How does city becomes destroyer of human, or it is inevitable that we will destroy each other. We create city and city create ''urbanites''with different moral, ethical and personal values.

CPAC Summer Institute 2017
Next Generation Processing Approaches to Enable Maximum Efficiency in the Production of Pharmaceutics, Chemicals, and Biomaterials
Center for Process Analysis and Control (CPAC)
University of Washington, Seattle, WA
To help achieve that goal the meeting will explore the following:
- New strategies to characterize, preprocess, and separate all components in complex raw materials to enable the extraction of maximum value to insure sustainable production.
- Next generation continuous manufacturing concepts for end to end fermentation; including the process analytical technology, PAT, required to characterize organism growth and product production as well as product separation and purification.
- Utilization of process intensification approaches, at all manufacturing scales, including the use of novel operating windows, maximizing catalyst efficiency, and optimizing heat and mass transfer for the cost effective introduction of new material including biomaterials.
- Recent advances in PAT for the real time characterization of raw materials, as well as complex biomass streams for process understanding. This data can be used for rapid process development and for feed forward and feedback control to enable high quality, cost effective processing.
- Utilization of new approaches in data handling including the use of big data - for end to end understanding and value extraction from chemical and biomass processing.
The three day schedule ends on Thursday evening with a BBQ dinner off-site event. The final afternoon will summarize the technical areas and meld the conclusions into a broader look at the future impact of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) for achieving Process Optimization.
CPAC has an established track record in fostering academic/industrial/national laboratory interactions, which aims at bridging the gap between basic research and full-scale process/product development. CPAC's Summer Institute will provide continuing education opportunities in the areas of advances in measurement science linked to process control.
The CPAC Summer Institutes are held in an informal format, with technical presentations, and time allotted for open discussion and brainstorming on topics that arise from this interaction. The informal environment has created a successful format for bringing together chemists, biologists, measurement scientists, and process engineers from industry, government, and academic institutions drawn from both CPAC and non-CPAC members.
REGISTRATION Registration Fees for the 2017 Summer Institute are $425.00 US Dollars. The fees cover all meeting materials, lunches, and a BBQ dinner on Thursday. Please complete the registration form on the following site:

And no I am not talking about my Black Labrador Angus. This is a mean dog that shows no mercy. He invades my head and is relentless. He is still here even though I have been begging him to go. I knew he would be visiting soon. I have felt the build up of his visiting coming for days, I tried my best to keep him away, but alas it did no good.
The problem with mental illness is that it is an invisble illness. No-one can see that you are sick from the outside. We depressives are good at putting on fake smiles, but sometimes faking it only makes our down days worse. I have been that good at faking it it seems that B had no idea today was coming even though I have spent that last two days telling him it was going to happen. That I could feel it building... He wants me to go back on my meds. I don't! I want to try another way. I hate medicating myself to the eyeballs and so does my body. You can tell by just looking at me. We you should be able to anyway! I thought you could until someone I hadn't seen in a while told me two days ago that I looked great... Yeah I look smashing alright. My hair is slowly falling out and one of the drugs made to stop losing weight and start gaining it!!! And now it just won't budge. And I am telling you IT NEEDS TO BUDGE! I have 30kgs to lose.. there I said it. I need to lose a WHOLE 30kgs!
Well that is all for today. Just because the Black Dog is visiting doesn't mean my life can stop. I still have 3 kids to look after and one of them is in need of some dinner.
Wish me luck!

Hey AmyReplyDelete
I'm sorry to hear about your depression. I know a few people who have it, but I can't tell you I know how you feel, as I really don't.
All I can genuinely give you is a gift. A gift from the heart. A gift of letting you know that your friends and family loves you and your family no matter what.
A gift of letting you know that your people are always there to lend an ear. or a hand. If I was closer, I would definitely babysit my gorgeous cousins so you can take a break.
Come down and see us sometime eh???
Bianca xoxoxo
Thanks Bianca. It means alot...ReplyDelete
And you will have to speak to B about visiting. He seems to have a phobia of traveling

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- A Delta Air Lines Boeing 767 heading for New York was forced to return to Brussels International Airport Sunday after developing engine trouble.
The plane landed safely with no injuries, airport officials said.
The plane was a similar model to the EgyptAir Boeing 767 which disappeared earlier Sunday shortly after leaving New York for Cairo. See full story.
Brussels Airport officials said Delta Flight 141 to New York returned to Brussels around 12:15 p.m., about 45 minutes after taking off for New York's John F. Kennedy Airport. There were 170 passengers aboard the Boeing BA, -0.37% said an official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"The flight landed safely,'' said Jean-Pierre Huybrechts, a Delta DAL, -4.83% official at Brussels airport. "There was a problem with one of engines and the plane came back.''
He declined to give more details.
Airport emergency services were put on alert but were not needed.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- Jumping out of an airplane may seem risky to some, but to others it might seem quite safe. Such is the perception of risk, and one of the fundamental elements of behavior.
"The financial-services industry tells us that risk is a number. Most of us don't think that way."
Everyone from Freud to Dr. Laura has a take on what drives social behavior. Yet what about financial behavior?
"Behavioral finance" is a being studied and analyzed by financial advisers, Wall Street firms, and trade associations aiming to figure out how and why investors react in certain market conditions, and whether the results of their investment choices measure up to their expectations.
As one might imagine, what you want and what you get doesn't always match. The dilemma lies with the way in which investment questions are asked, experts say.
"The financial-services industry tells us that risk is a number. Most of us don't think that way," says David Loeper, chief executive of Financeware.com in Richmond, Virginia.
"If an investor says he can stand 25 percent downside risk and his portfolio is down 20 percent, a financial adviser will say, 'Well, I did my job,' but an investor is thinking, 'Am I going to be able to retire?'"
An investing disconnect
The way people think and how their thinking is translated into an investment program is out of whack, Loeper says.
"The investor thinks of risk in terms of risk to lifestyle: 'After I've achieved all my other objectives, will I have enough money to take an extra vacation?' Or, 'Will I risk running out of money in retirement and I'll have to work longer?' Meanwhile, the financial services industry is asking, 'What's the most amount of volatility you'll be able to stand in your portfolio?'"
"There are a lot of problems with the investment questionnaires brokers get from their firms and give to their clients."
Loeper isn't alone in his criticism of the financial translation process.
"There are a lot of problems with the investment questionnaires brokers get from their firms and give to their clients," says Raleigh, N.C.-based financial adviser Charles ReCorr, chairman of the Institute for Certified Investment Management Consultants. "The biggest one is that they don't really work."
Behavioral finance tries to provide solutions for investors about everything from risk tolerances to life goals. The process mostly comes into play when an investor is beginning to make decisions on an investment plan and what type of products to purchase, whether the riskiest ones like small cap growth stocks, or conservative ones like Treasury bills. How long you're willing to own the stocks also comes into play.
The question restated
A typical question that an investor might be asked by a financial adviser is, "How much of a decline in assets would you be willing to stand to gain a 25 percent return -- 5 percent, 10 percent, 20 percent?" The investor willing to lose 20 percent would seem to be the risk taker.
Yet ask the question another way -- such as "What do you think the chances of that happening really are?" -- and that same investor may believe there's only a 1 percent chance of a 20 percent decline. So, in fact, he or she is risk-averse.
"A guy willing to take 20 percent risk may never have lost any money before. He doesn't have the sense of what's that's like."
Additionally, someone willing to take more risk may never have lost money before, ReCorr says.
"An investor willing to take a 10 percent risk who has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, you say, 'This guy really knows what he is talking about,' ReCorr says. "But a guy willing to take 20 percent risk may never have lost any money before. He doesn't have the sense of what's that's like."
Until recently, investors needed to have little concern about risk and losses as the stock market flourished with few setbacks, says Ron Surz, a well-known risk analyst at Roxbury Capital Management in Santa Monica, Calif.
"It's different when you ask how would you feel if you lost 30 percent of your money than actually losing it," Surz says.
Wall Street, in fact, is trying to get more in touch with how people feel. Salomon Smith Barney commissioned a report on behavioral finance, as did the Investment Management Consultants Association in Denver, Colorado.
Another group, the Institute of Certified Investment Consultants in Washington, has developed a risk/reward analyzer based on behavioral finance research. Such efforts are attempts to provide investors real world answers, not academic ones.
And advisers need to recognize that people may take certain risks but overcompensate in other ways to mitigate that risk-taking.
"You may say, 'Congratulations, Mr. Jones! Over the past 20 years, you've outperformed your benchmark by 200 basis points,'" Loeper says. "Meantime, the guy is living in a cardboard box eating Little Friskies. It's like, get real."

Pune: BJP on Sunday demanded an early interrogation of Suresh Kalmadi for his alleged role in financial irregularities during the conduct of Commonwealth Games and said it wanted JPC to go into both 2G and CWG scams to unearth the truth.
Party General Secretary and MP Ravishankar Prasad said here,"Kalmadi has not been interrogated so far by the investigating agencies and we want this to happen as early as possible."
Prasad also criticised Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, for his "inaction" in not stopping both the scams and alleged that there was a "conspiracy of silence" on part of Singh.
Prasad said Singh owed an answer to the nation as to why he failed to act to stop the biggest ever scam in independent India.
"BJP wants a JPC to be constituted to go into both 2-G and CWG scams. If we had not built up pressure in Parliament, A Raja would not have resigned," he added.
Asked whether BJP was adopting double standards on the issue of corruption by shielding Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyuruppa who is facing land grab charges, Prasad said, "The main issue there is de-notification of government land and the Lakayukta is conducting an inquiry into the whole matter".

I have been doing some research on a number of applications and tools that will be of great assistance to my various restaurant, food service and hospitality clients. The list is over 50 apps and tools – I may not blog on every single one. But Simmons Social Snippets will be running a series of blogs pertaining to this research. Summer is practically here – my boys have one and a half days left of school – how did that happen! These apps and tools will be very useful this summer so I hope you enjoy and use any and all information I am sharing.
The first tool we are going to explore is Foursquare. Foursquare is a location based application that is always growing and upgrading – offering more and more to its members and businesses who are on it. Essentially all businesses are on Foursquare – but not all businesses have claimed their venue. If you are a business who offers services to consumers – you should claim your venue. By claiming your venue – you can elaborate on the very basic information that is listed for your business. You can add as much information about your venue as you want. If you are a restaurant – you can put your menu on foursquare.
You can Foursquare Specials to attract new customers or reward loyal ones. As a business, when you offer a special, they will be highlighted as orange pin on the map and pop up when someone searches for places to go. Your special may be redeemed by checking in upon arrival at your business. The customer simply needs to show the special that is on their phone to a staff member when they want to redeem it. I recently did this at Sweet Frog – it was so easy and yummy ! You can create a Foursquare special – running a contest, offering a discount or giving a small gift for a number of check ins. You can monitor the performance of the Foursquare special through the Foursquare for Business app. You may also turn the special on or off from this app.
Recently, Foursquare has introduced a new feature called My History. In a partnership with Samsung, Foursquare will use Samsung customers' check-in histories to create infographics. These customized heat maps will contain the Samsung logo on their latest Samsung 4 model. There is a "The Next Big Thing" tab that gives recommendations to the users based on previous checked in places.
Summertime is upon us and everyone will be traveling and checking in !! They will be using Foursquare to find places to eat, things to do and terrific deals ! Make sure your business stands out on this fun app and brings people through your door. I know I am going to have fun this summer checking in :)

This week The Warwick Fiji is delighted to have acclaimed Chef and Restaurateur Mario Alfieri visiting the resort to share his knowledge and skills with its team of chefs at "Pappagalo" Italian restaurant.
Fiji Islands – February 29th 2016 – Mario is undertaking a daily training programme with the resort's local chefs throughout the week and giving hands on instruction in his techniques in the Pappagallo kitchen.
Brad Downton, General Manager of The Warwick Fiji, said "We are very excited to have Chef Mario here to provide training for the chefs in our Italian restaurant Pappagalo. It is a great opportunity for them to learn from a master chef who was at the forefront of creative Italian cuisine on Australia's Gold Coast for over 30 years."
Mario's previous restaurant "The Dining Room" won a string of awards including Best Italian Restaurant in Brisbane for three consecutive years and Best Italian Restaurant in Queensland. And in a country where good Italian restaurants abound his second place in Australia's Best Italian Restaurant award was no mean feat.
Mario describes his food as Classic Italian style with a modern touch. He said "Food is like fashion – people get tired of it – it changes but you always go back to the basics."
"It's important to innovate because essentially cooking is just repeating itself and there is always a little more that you can achieve" he said. "I teach chefs to find something new every day because something new is there." He likens this search for innovation in food with art and uses famous painters such as Picasso and Dali as examples.
Born in Naples, Italy Mario's passion for cooking began when he was very young. As there was an age gap of 11 years between him and his sister, he was always in the kitchen watching his mother who was a very good cook. "In Italy" he said "everything revolves around food."
"The most innovative cuisines in the world, such as Chinese, Italian and Japanese have come from countries where there was no affluence," he said. "The less you've got the more creativity you have. After World War II in Italy people created meals with what little they had. In those times no one discarded anything – you used everything," he said.
Mario last visited Fiji in the early 1980's. He is impressed with how Fiji has developed and that almost all produce and ingredients are now available here.
Mario's menu which features his signature dishes such as "Fettucini with Crab and Prawns" starts this week at Pappagalo which is one of the five restaurants at The Warwick Fiji.
He will personally be in the Pappagalo kitchen sharing his techniques and wealth of knowledge until Saturday 5 March 2016.

There isn't any American equivalent. Its lifespan is dependent upon the form of fishing you're doing and how much strain and stress it's receiving. Fire Mountain Gems has a superb tutorial on the best way to use crimping pliers that contains the subsequent video demonstration. His season may have arrived at a finish.
The other approach to spot a superior location is what I refer to as the frequent sense procedure. There's no one source I go to all the moment. Scrape a decent supply of barnacles off two or three pier supports and place them in your bucket. There are a number of superb bead suppliers there too.
The stitching was frayed and should be repaired. Although peyote stitch is easily the most typical technique used, it's likewise among the hardest to learn. Before using any glue, be sure that you test it to the rug you're repairing. It's made from Dyneema microfibers. It's made from Spectra fibres that are very strong.
Keep in mind these location suggestions to put yourself where the fish should be prosperous. On account of the quantity of line out and the weight it will probably be hard to feel the way the fish is fighting. When the fish is safely beached, after that you can retrieve it. Should you be trying for more compact fish then more compact reels and more compact rods are vital. When wobbling dead bait it's imperative not to use bait that's too large and heavy.
A very long pole can cast real far in contrast to a quick pole. Sometimes rope is what's really needed, so why don't you utilize it. So far as hooks are involved, sheepshead anglers disagree on the proper dimensions and type. These rods are normally a bit pricey but are very top quality and well worth the price. The two larger rods are an excellent selection for medium and big rivers and reservoirs. For those who have multiple rods set up with exactly the same lead core line you'll be able to troll a couple of rods employing different depths or lures. Some can include extra spools you could switch out whether you will need a several different fishing lines.
The One Thing to Do for Buy Braided Fishing Line
Carp eyesight isn't to be underestimated! It doesn't weaken easily due to sunlight, and does not have a stretch. It's found in a variety of colours which may match with any sort of plain water. Yellow isn't hard to obtain in water. Green functions as a camouflage. Dark green isn't very visible, so fishes often don't see it.
1 size ordinarily does not fit all! It's found in a variety of sizes and colours. It has rather thin diameter.
You are likely to should know just what that weight is, throughout. It is well-known for its strength. Some techniques need a lot of practice, but all the difficult work is well worth it in the long run. In case the only tool you have is a hammer, it is possible to find every problem for a nail. This type is famous for its great use in saltwater, but now it is now popular in freshwater hunting too. There are many choices to select from in regards to the rig. Additionally, it needs replacement after some decades, as it doesn't promise long-lasting durability against heat and water.
Your line ought to be reasonably tight at this time. If later you wish to switch to a braided primary line, that's your decision. Casting the line might be a challenging job because of its stiffness. Once pressed you can take away of the pen lines that have a small quantity of water. Fishing line is among the most significant stuffs an angler must carry when going fishing. There are various types of fishing lines offered on the market to satisfy the requirements of distinct users. It is a rather common fishing line on the market.
The prevalence of macrame today is getting more pronounced. Otherwise, below are some quick pointers to secure you a good salmon mooching set up. It is necessary to do a normal check up on braided lines to see whether they're in good shape. Now you are all set to cast. It can't be straightened easily unless it's used frequently. It is quite comfortable to manage. There is actually not overly much to fret about on this one.

When it comes to marketing, there are two ways to win the Super Bowl.
One way is to create the best marketing campaign: A campaign that is grounded in consumer insight and inspired by creativity. A campaign that leverages the power of public relations to create buzz , excitement and drama.
The other way to win is to simply block out your competitors. If you are the only advertiser in your category, you are by definition the winner. If only one football team shows up for the Super Bowl, they will walk away the champion. Similarly, if only one advertiser in a category shows up, they walk away the winner.
For 2009, Pepsi is apparently taking the second approach; this week Pepsi announced that it had signed a deal making it the only non-alcoholic beverage advertiser in the first half of the Super Bowl, traditionally the most valuable time period. Pepsi didn't reveal the cost, but we can safely assume the deal was not free.
Why did Pepsi take such a step? I suspect the move reflects the fact that Pepsi has been losing out to Coke on the Super Bowl. While Pepsi has long been one of the core Super Bowl advertisers, the company has struggled in recent games, airing some uninspired creative. Coke, however, has been building momentum.
Last year's game clearly showed the shift in fortunes. Coke was one of the top advertisers in the 2008 Kellogg Super Bowl Advertising Review. Coke aired two terrific spots, one featuring inflatable balloons fighting over a Coke and another featuring two politicians (James Carville and Bill Frist) coming together over a Coke. The spots were product-focused and entertaining, with terrific linkage between the spot and the brand.
Pepsi, however, struggled in 2008. Pepsi's Gatorade, for example, aired one of the most astonishing Super Bowl spots ever; the spot featured a dog slurping some liquid, presumably Gatorade. The spot made absolutely no sense.
To avoid another loss to Coke, Pepsi is spending money to block out the competition. This isn't necessarily a bad idea, but it does indicate a loss of confidence; if you have the best team you don't have to keep your competitors off the field.

Swimming Pool Repair Tips
Swimming Pool Repair Tips
A complete resource on home improvement tips and guides
A swimming pool is a tank that holds water for the purpose of swimming and wading. The common problems that swimming pools usually face are:
* Maintaining the water balance
* Vinyl liners getting holes and tears
* Filters getting clogged
* Pumps malfunctioning
These issues call for proper swimming pool repair processes. Let us now take a look at how these problems can be taken care of.
Maintaining the water balance Water chemistry maintenance is the very important when it comes to taking care of swimming pools. It's mandatory to sanitize the swimming pool with chlorine. This chemical helps to kill the harmful contaminants in the water by combining with bacteria that is present in the water. Once chlorine combines with the contaminants, it becomes inactive and can no longer protect the water. That is when the pool requires a shock treatment and fresh chlorine is added to it.
Also, the pH level in the water should be well-balanced. Do not allow the pH level to fall below 7.0.
Taking care of the vinyl liner This is another issue that calls for a swimming pool repair process. The vinyl liner of swimming pools often gets damaged due to lack of proper care and maintenance. The water balance plays a very important role when it comes to taking care of the vinyl liner. Firstly, the pH level in the water should be above 7.0 under all conditions. The pH level being below 7.0 can lead to complex reactions in the water. This results in the expansion of the vinyl liner. The liner develops wrinkles too. Ultimately, it degrades. Secondly, you should be careful with the amount of chlorine that you are using to disinfect the pool water.
High amount of chlorine can damage the liner to a considerable extent. Treat liner leaks with special patching glues.
Take proper care of the pool filter Maintaining a clean pool filter is very important for the comfort of the bather. Cleaning cartridge filters require much time. The other types of filters that are available in the market are diatomaceous earth filters and sand filters. Regular cleaning of pool filters can rule out the chances of waterborne diseases.
Make sure the pool pump is working fine A pool pump helps in moving pool water to the filter for disinfection. It is necessary to have the pool pump work properly. If it is not, you should call on a professional immediately.
Sanitred.com swimming pool repair and waterproofing products have the ability to withstand the negative hydrostatic pressure. They are equipped with the unique and versatile Flexible Penetration Technology, Elongation Memory Technology and Permanent Flexibility. Sanitred products will fix your leaking or cracked swimming pool while at the same time save you thousand of dollars in repairs.

Women who have received abnormal FSH test results indicating fertility issues may benefit from talking to their doctor about their heart health, as a new study has shown that women who experience trouble conceiving may be more likely to develop heart disease later in life.
The researchers said that there may be a causal link between issues that cause fertility problems earlier in life, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, obesity and thyroid disorders, and the eventual development of heart disease. Further understanding this connection could help prevent many unnecessary cardiovascular deaths.
For the study, an international team of researchers examined the medical records of nearly 900,000 women who had enrolled in a previous investigation. The results showed that those who had tried unsuccessfully for five years or more to become pregnant, but were eventually successful, were 19 percent more likely to develop heart disease.
The researchers concluded that women who receive abnormal FSH testing early on in adulthood should be monitored for future cardiovascular complications. While some common causes are known, further studies of the association between infertility and heart health could be important.

"Ever just wish the world would stop for a day so you could catch up?"
When I read this in the email from the Proverbs 31 Ministries advertising their Fall online Bible study, I was immediately intrigued. I would LOVE an off day to catch up on my never ending to-do list. I feel like no matter what I get done in a day...it's never enough. I can't celebrate the achievements I do cross off the list, because I'm too focused on the items that got left behind. I'm so overwhelmed with my busy work that I tend to forget my best work. The items I tend to focus on throughout the day definitely do not align with my priorities...so what does that mean? I signed up for the study within minutes of receiving the email...and then I did the unthinkable. I emailed a bunch of ladies that I work with at LSU and invited them to do the study with me. To my delight, several jumped on board...and away we went with 'Taming the To-Do List" by Glynnis Whitwer.
I've never done an online study before but this has been a breeze! Each day I receive an email with either a video or blog post to supplement the readings. Each Monday I receive an outline of a proposed study schedule and each Wednesday I receive an action item that coordinates with the readings. I've been doing my readings during my lunch break and since the weather has been so amazing, outside...and it has been beyond refreshing! The best part has been the fabulous conversations at the office coffee pot with the other ladies doing the study. While I shouldn't be rejoicing that other women have the same challenges and insecurities that I do...I kind of am! It's just so nice to know you aren't alone!
Now, the first three chapters, I could have written myself! I've been making notes in my book and I've actually written "YES! PREACH! I'm SO guilty of this! HA!" I've been underlining and staring so many things...it's definitely been hitting home...hard.
So far, we have focused on procrastination...which I never realized is something I'm quite successful at doing...and the various reasons why we procrastinate. I literally murder to-do lists each week. I'm knocking items off left and right. But, after really evaluating those items, I'm realizing those are the easiest items on the list while the large and sometimes much more important items get pushed to the next week...week after week after week. Talk about ground breaking! I've been focusing on quantity over quality.
If anyone were to ask what my priorities are, I would immediately respond with faith, family, self, community. But, my list of "to-dones" don't necessarily line up with my priorities...so why? Over-commitment issues, people-pleasing issues, resistance to anything uncomfortable, dependency on emails/texts/social media and the crazy need to respond immediately which causes me to shift my focus...the list goes on!
I'm so looking forward to diving into more of the book to learn about what I can do to better match my to do list to my priorities! I wanted to start sharing my journey with this study to, selfishly, help me absorb the lessons more deeply but also in the hopes that I can encourage anyone currently in the same boat. Being Type-A is just exhausting and, at times, completely debilitating. I was desperate for a change and, after much prayer, discovered this study that has already been so refreshing! If you aren't really interested, please be patient with me...it will be 8 weeks of sharing! ;)
"If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." James 1:5

REPOST -- CTP Episode of the Day - 04.14.06 - The Amazing Maleeni
Today's Cherished Episode: The Amazing Maleeni (7x08)
Original Air Date: January 16, 2000
Written By: Vince Gilligan, John Shiban & Frank Spotnitz
Directed By: Thomas J. Wright
When a magic trick goes very wrong, Mulder and Scully are drawn into the world of small-time hoods and big-time illusions, where seeing is not necessarily believing.
"It's about originality, style, and more than anything else soul -- because that's what separates the great ones from the hacks."
Some "The Amazing Maleeni" Tidbits & Musings:
-- Frank Spotnitz was not the most popular guy around the day he suggested the story that would ultimately become "The Amazing Maleeni." "Vince was ready to kill me," said Spotnitz. "He wanted to know why I wanted to do a story about magic. For him, this was agony."
-- Gilligan laughed about it later, but he was not laughing when Spotnitz was laying down his ideas for the show. "Frank wanted to do this stand-alone episode about a magician. But he did not want to have anything even remotely paranormal in it. He wanted it to be totally about magic and illusion."
-- "'The Amazing Maleeni' started from an idea that Frank Spotnitz had," said co-writer John Shiban. "He had been saying to me for two years prior, 'I want to do a magic episode.' He felt in the beginning there was something in magic, in the idea of illusion, as an X-File, and whether magic was real or not."
-- Spotnitz's love of magic had translated into an ongoing campaign for an X-Files magic episode since season two. Ricky Jay was his favorite magician, and so a magic show starring Jay was his dream project. Spotnitz's persistence eventually led to a green light and the collaboration between Spotnitz, Gilligan, and Shiban in which magic and a heist plot reminiscent of The Sting unfolded in Los Angeles. Even though they had not even begun to cast the show, Ricky Jay was very much on everyone's mind, so much so that Gilligan went out of his way to incorporate many of Jay's trademark tricks into the script.
-- "The key to that show for me was the casting of Ricky Jay, who I'd been a fan of for many years," Spotnitz said. "And we really designed that character and wrote his voice specifically for Ricky."
-- While the script for "The Amazing Maleeni" was being fashioned, the casting department began what Chris Carter described as "a delicate courtship" to land Ricky Jay for the episode. Rick Millikan called his agency and the response was that he might be available. For the young punk magician who challenged him, the show cast its net for magician David Blaine, who had come to some notoriety by burying himself alive and freezing himself in a block of ice. Things were looking promising. Then the roof fell in.
-- Spotnitz recalled, "We found out that the agency had never even informed Ricky Jay that we wanted him. We found out that Ricky Jay couldn't do it. Then we found out that David Blaine couldn't do it. We had the script all ready to go and all of a sudden we had no magicians. We were ready to shoot ourselves."
-- The agency finally admitted that they had not broached The X-Files episode to Ricky Jay because they knew he was very busy and very tired. But Chris Carter was not going to take no for an answer. "We got on the phone with him," said Carter. "He agreed to come to our offices to talk about the script and ended up doing some card trucks for us that reduced Frank and I to being six-year-olds again."
-- Jay was agreeable to doing the part but requested that he stick to the tricks he normally did onstage rather than performing new ones. John Shiban related that the scene in which Maleeni talked to Mulder and Scully in the bank office underwent a slight change when Jay argued that the scripted trick of tossing a playing card into a bulletin board was not in character. A more traditional card trick in which he located a card selected by Mulder was substituted.
-- "The Amazing Maleeni" proved to be an interesting travelogue of Los Angeles, from the famous downtown to less well known East Los Angeles. For the opening sequence in which a down-and-out Maleeni plied his craft for chump change, the Santa Monica Pier was utilized.
-- The Santa Monica Pier is located at the foot of Colorado Boulevard in Santa Monica, and is a prominent California landmark. The current pier is actually two piers that long had separate owners. The long, narrow Municipal Pier opened September 9, 1909, primarily to carry sewer pipes beyond the breakers and had no amenities. The short, wide, adjoining Pleasure Pier (also known as Newcomb Pier) to the south was built in 1916 by Charles I.D. Looff and his son Arthur, who were amusement park pioneers. The current Santa Monica Pier contains Pacific Park, a family amusement park with a large ferris wheel. It also has an aquarium, shops, entertainers, an arcade, a pub, and restaurants. At the end of the pier, anglers may pursue their hobby. The Park also contains a carousel with 44 hand-carved horses that was built in 1922 on the Pleasure Pier. It was rebuilt in 1990 inside the Looff Hippodrome where a calliope provides musical accompaniment.
-- The carousel had a cameo in the 1973 Oscar-winning film The Sting (as noted above, an inspiration for this episode). At the beginning of the film, Robert Redford found Paul Newman operating a carousel supposedly located in Chicago. As the scene started, a carousel building could be seen in a far shot with a cityscape in the background. The shot was actually the carousel on the Santa Monica Pier and the cityscape in the background was painted in over what was actually the Pacific Ocean.
-- The actors enjoyed the "amusement park" nature of the episode but were constantly on the alert not to forget that there was an X-File at the core of all the smoke and mirrors. "Because of all the magic, I was constantly being entertained," said Gillian Anderson. "The difficulty with something like that is you have a tendency to forget that people are still having bad things happen to them. It was tough because a lot of the lines were being written tongue-in-cheek and David and I were constantly playing to the comedic side of the script. We had to keep reminding ourselves that we were dealing with murder."
-- A constant challenge on the special effects front during the making of "The Amazing Maleeni" was to keep things as camera-real as possible, in keeping with a show about magic and illusion. Which meant that during the sequence in which Billy LaBonge impressed crime boss Cissy Alvarez by having his hand burst into flame, a stuntman was brought in rather than relying on a more time-consuming and ultimately less convincing visual effect.
-- Episode director Thomas J. Wright also directed Season 7's "The Goldberg Variation" and "Millennium." He was the obvious choice to direct the X-Files "Millennium" episode as he directed 25 episodes of the Millennium series, including the series finale.
-- Timeline: Pinchbeck's marker was dated 12/29/99, and the vault sign-out log that Scully picked up was dated 1/12 as the day the armored truck had its attempted robbery.
-- Max Malini was a real magician, and was one of the most legendary performers of the 20th Century. Born in 1875 in Poland and growing up in New York City, Malini (born Max Katz) began his career performing in saloons and eventually went on to perform for kings, queens and millionaires. Famous for his sleight of hand and puzzling effects, Malini toured the world until his death in 1942. Unlike most globe trotting magicians, he carried almost no equipment, relying on his skill rather than props to astound audiences.
-- The Great Muldeeni and his lovely assistant were definitely quicker than the eye! Scully said the dynamic duo took the "first plane to Los Angeles" and that had to be an understatement. They must have boarded *before* Maleeni lost his head. How else to explain that Maleeni's van was still at the pier, the tourists' video camera evidence was still on the scene, and the amusement park hadn't emptied its trash?
-- Just in case anyone was planning on doing this later, you cannot do electronic fund transfers with a federal agent's badge number and thumbprint. That process was fabricated for the episode. The American Banking Association does not release to the public its procedure for a federal agent to access electronic transfer funds.
-- The super-realistic prosthetic head was supplied by John Vulich's Optic Nerve. "We had to do a head cast of Ricky Jay," explained Vulich. "We had very little time to do that effect, I'd say four, maybe five days, tops, which really wasn't an adequate time to do a fake head like that, especially the level of detail. There was a scene where he was in the van. One of the actors just shook him, and the head kind of fell off onto the ground. And we had to do this on cue, so we thought the easiest way to do it was with an electromagnet. You really couldn't see it, but there was a little plate here on the base of the fake head, a metal thing that was hidden by all the gruesome stuff. And on the other stump, there was a very strong electromagnet that the head was placed onto, that would really hold while the actor shook it. Then we just hit a switch and that allowed the head to fall over on cue, which worked surprisingly well."
-- Unfortunately, the effect showing Maleeni's head spinning all the way around wasn't as realistic as the prosthetic head. In a series which usually had incredible visuals, that particular effect was incredibly cheesy and poorly done.
-- TPTB must have thought that Scully and the audience had a short attention span. Mulder told Scully (and us) what EFT stood for only a few minutes after the Bank Manager explained the same thing.
-- Billy LaBonge was named for Second Unit Director of Photography Bob LaBonge.
-- LaBonge was played by Jonathan Levit, a skilled magician who performed regularly at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. In an obscure X-Files connection, during the second half of the only season of the 1973 series The Magician (that young Fox Mulder wanted to watch on that fateful night his sister was abducted), the series' main character stage magician Tony Blake moved his home base to the Magic Castle.
-- Since his X-Files appearance, Ricky Jay had a recurring role (Eddie Sawyer) in the HBO Western series Deadwood. He also wrote an episode of the series. In 2006, Jay served as technical advisor (magic) for two films: The Illusionist and The Prestige (in which he also appeared).
-- Actor Robert LaSardo (Cissy Alvarez) has worked steadily since his X-Files appearance, guest starring on TV shows including Ghost Whisperer, Bones, and CSI: Miami. He has had recurring roles on Nip/Tuck (as Escobar Gallardo) and General Hospital (as Father Mateo Ruiz). LaSardo has tattoos covering nearly his entire body.
-- Did you know an Olympic Gold Medalist appeared in "The Amazing Maleeni"? Sherri Howard, who played a bank employee, was a member of the gold medal winning women's 4 x 400 meter relay team in the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
-- "The great ones always know when to leave the stage." If only the show itself had remembered to heed this advice.
-- Once & Future Retreads: No actors, but the Cradock Marine Bank, spectacularly blown up quite a few times in "Monday," made another appearance in this episode. (By the way, the Cradock Marine Bank was named for a suburb of Portsmouth, Virginia, where Vince Gilligan's girlfriend Holly Rice grew up.)
(Thanks to chrisnu for today's pics.)

Once again, Canada's West Coast ports are gearing up for a busy cruise season which will see the return of favourites like the Disney Wonder, the Explorer of the Seas and the Crystal Serenity (which is going for a second year of Arctic adventures following a very successful launch of the Northwest Passage route in 2016). New vessels, such as the Emerald Princess and the Carnival Miracle will be welcomed this year as will the Seabourn Sojourn, a high-end luxury liner that has, get this, a passenger-to-crew rate of about 1:4. In reviewing activities with the four main destinations for cruise ships in B.C. —Vancouver, Nanaimo, Prince Rupert and Victoria — BC Shipping News finds high optimism, coupled with hard-working staff getting ready to welcome the first passengers in early April.
Photo above: Nanaimo's Cruise Terminal can accommodate vessels of any size (photo courtesy Nanaimo Port Authority)
As a top global destination and important economic generator for the City, Vancouver continues to attract a wide spectrum of cruise lines and passengers as Canada's largets homeport. Carmen Ortega, Manager, Cruise Services and Canada Place Operations with the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, noted that 2017 will continue the trend of increasing passenger numbers. "We are expecting another strong season with just over 840,000 passengers on 237 calls," she said. That's up from the almost 827,000 seen in 2016 — which was up from the 805,000 seen in 2015.

Waiting on Wednesday (17)
April 26, 2011
Sixteen-year-old identical twins Melody and Harmony were separated at birth and had never met until the day Harmony shows up on Melody's doorstep. Until now, the twins have followed completely opposite paths. Melody has scored an enviable conception contract with a couple called the Jaydens. While they are searching for the perfect partner for Melody to bump with, she is fighting her attraction to her best friend Zen, who is way too short for the job.
Harmony has spent her whole life in religious Goodside, preparing to be a wife and mother. She believes her calling is to bring Melody back to Goodside and convince her that "pregging" for profit is a sin. But Harmony has secrets of her own that she is running from.
When Melody is finally matched with the world-famous, genetically flawless Jondoe, both girls' lives are changed forever. A case of mistaken identity takes them on a journey neither could have ever imagined, one that makes Melody and Harmony realize they have so much more than just DNA in common.Why I'm Excited:

Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air. Journalism is about results. It's about affecting your community or your society in the most progressive way; by giving us the opinions of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.

MSR / Cascade Designs Warrenty
Last week my original MSR Windpro stove was having performance issues on Mt. Adam's where there was little to no fuel pressure in the system making it near impossible to boil or melt water. The stove had performed flawlessly for 3+ and never showed any signs of performance degradation. I tried different fuel canisters and tried cleaning what little there is to clean on an butane/isobutane stove with no luck.
I called cascade designs up and gave them my spiel about the stove and they told me to bring it in to their warranty center since I live near Seattle. A few days later I make the trip to their warranty center in south-downtown Seattle, which is an adventure in itself. I talked to their employees and they took my 1st generation WindPro and changed the fuel line out to the 2nd generation WindPro 2 version. Total cost was only 20$ but they took care of my stove within 5 minutes and improved it! I really appreciate Cascade Designs in taking care of their customers in a fast and professional manner! It's no wonder why I own 2 MSR stoves ( WindPro and a XGK). I am so impressed with their service that I would be inclined to only buy MSR stoves.

Analysis of dyeing wastewater treatment technology2017.09.04 09:01
At present, the domestic printing and dyeing wastewater treatment methods are mainly biochemical method, and some chemical methods and physical methods in tandem with them. From the three aspects of physical, chemical and biological methods, this paper introduces the methods, status and development trend of dyeing wastewater treatment at home and abroad.
Physical treatment
The physical treatment method is the most widely used adsorption method, this method is made of activated carbon, clay and other porous material powder or granules mixed with wastewater, or let the waste water through the filter bed by the granular composition, the pollutants in wastewater was removed by adsorption in porous material on the surface or by filtration.
At present, mainly by activated carbon adsorption method, this method is very effective for the removal of dissolved organic matter in water, but it can't remove the dye and hydrophobic colloid in water, and it is only for cationic dyes, direct dyes, acid dyes, reactive dyes and other water-soluble dye has good adsorption properties. The adsorption rate, BOD, removal rate and COD removal rate of activated carbon reached 93%, 92% and 63%, respectively. The adsorption capacity of activated carbon can reach 500mgCOD/g carbon. If the sewage is aerated first, the adsorption rate will be accelerated. But if the waste water is BOD〉200mg/L, it is uneconomical to use this method.
Adsorbent used in a variety of adsorption, the project should consider the adsorbent to dye selectivity, should be based on the quality of wastewater to select adsorbent. The results show that the removal rate of anionic dyes can reach 95%-100% by using silicon polymer as adsorbent in pH=12 printing and dyeing wastewater. Kaolin is also an adsorbent. Studies have shown that kaolin can effectively adsorb yellow direct dyes in wastewater by long chain organic cation treatment.
In addition, domestic activated diatomite and cinder are also used to treat traditional printing and dyeing wastewater. The cost is lower and the decoloration effect is better. The disadvantage is that the amount of sludge is large and the treatment is difficult.
Chemical treatment
There are two kinds of chemical treatment methods for printing and dyeing wastewater, coagulation and oxidation. They have their respective effects in water treatment.
Coagulation method
Coagulation sedimentation and coagulation air flotation are the main methods. Most of the coagulants used are mainly aluminum salt or iron salt, in which the basic aluminum chloride (PAC) has better adsorption performance, while ferrous sulfate is the lowest. In recent years, there are more and more enterprises using polymer coagulants abroad, and there is a tendency to replace inorganic coagulants. But in China, because of the price and other reasons, the use of high polymer coagulant is still relatively small. It is understood that the weak anionic polymer coagulant is the most widely used, and if combined with aluminum sulfate, it can play a better effect.
The main advantage of coagulation is a simple process, convenient operation and management, equipment investment, small occupation area, high decolorization efficiency on hydrophobic; disadvantage is the high operating cost and the amount of sludge and dewatering difficulties, poor treatment effect of hydrophilic dyes.
oxidation process
Ozone oxidation and photooxidation are the main methods. Ozone oxidation is widely used in many countries. Research shows that the ozone dosage of 0.886gOdg dye, light brown dye wastewater decolorization rate was 80%; the study also found that the continuous operation required amount of ozone is higher than that of intermittent operation required amount of ozone, and the reactor installation clapboard, can reduce the amount of ozone 16.7%. Therefore, decolorization by ozone oxidation should be designed as a reactor for intermittent operation, and a separator may be considered in the reactor. Ozone oxidation can get good decoloration effect for most dyes, but it has poor decoloration effect for such dyes as sulfur, reducing and coating. From the domestic and international operation experience and the result, this method has good decoloration effect, but it consumes more power and has some difficulties in large-scale application.
The decoloration efficiency of dyeing wastewater is higher by light oxidation process, but the equipment investment and power consumption need to be further reduced.
Electrolytic process
Electrolytic treatment of dyeing wastewater containing acid dyes has a good treatment effect, the decolorization rate is 50%-70%, but the treatment of wastewater with deep color and high COD is less effective.
According to statistics, the electrochemical properties of various dyes in different electrolytic treatment the COD removal rate was different, the removal rate of COD the size of the order is generally: sulfur dyes, vat dyes, acid dyes, reactive dyes , neutral dyes, direct dyes with cationic dyes.

Tastes Are A Peculiar Thing
But then there's music... which, sometimes, even I don't know what I would get into.
I subscribe to a fellow author (David Gaughran) who was talking about Kickstarter. I ran into Kickstarter reading some other author's blog about how he was using Kickstarter to fund for his Dungeon and Dragon games (Jeff Gupton). Don't ask me how I found him. I run all over the place on the internet and run into sites. You know how it goes with surfing. But back to tastes....
So David Gaughran mentioned this artist and I took a look at her story on how she and her band mates raised enough money, and then some, to do their music tour in the United States using Kickstarter. Then I visited her website and got intrigued with her music. Warning: It's a bit "risque"...well...very risque. She's fun and hits some sensitive subjects like her Missed Me song in the Dresden Dolls Album. And her funny song about Lady Gaga being an artist or not, was what made me then go find out what she actually sings about. I just hit play on the first song on the The Dresden Dolls album (I picked that one since it had the name of one of the Science Fiction TV Series I enjoyed--The Dresden Files) and I sat there listening to it as I type this blog.
Amanda Palmer is one of those artists that people admire--a Free Spirited person that people are drawn to because they wish they could be that comfortable with themselves. One of those true artist types that are rugged and spirited and intelligent and fun! The ones whose light burn out quickly if they're not careful. Hopefully she'll be like Madonna and keep on burning.
After listening to her, I went on YouTube to watch my favorite video, at this moment of time, Hot Wings from the movie Rio (2011).
Tastes...I tell ya. They're scattered all over the place!
Until Next Time.

Instructions Help with Life!
I then began wondering why a few other people had finished their exercise and was playing around. The questions were getting hard and harder, and taking me time to solve them. How did this people finish it so fast? I began feeling very stupid.
Time was up! And I barely finished answering the questions. Then the teacher told us how she had stated to "Follow Instructions Carefully," and pointed something out to us.
Somewhere on the 3rd statement of the instructions, before the 100 questions, was for you to only write your name and ignore the rest of the questions. I just saw the questions and went at it!
And I wasted time and energy with frustration because of that.
That was a BIG learning lesson for me about instructions.
And that is the basis for most achievements I see.
Knowing the Rules.
Back when I did contests, and every contest while growing up after that teacher's exercise, I LIVED for those who didn't follow the rules. It just increase my chances for being in the finalist group.
And people not reading instructions is increasing. There's just so much more to read these days with more PCs in the household and the internet.
For equipment I purchase to use, I read instructions, but for Terms of Service on facebook, twitter, free email...well.... I mean, I just got a pop-up on my cell phone on something changing on Words for Friends and to ACCEPT the terms after reading them...didn't do it. I just clicked ACCEPT. All those TERMS just read like blah blah blah to me.
However, 15 years ago, I would use the HELP menu for Microsoft Office applications and then when problems came up, I would show people how to get things done. Someone ask me, "Are you Microsoft Certified or something?" I had to laugh. "Nope, I just read the instructions," I told him. That got me moving up the ladder...just because I read instructions. I make it a point to read the HELP menu. If it wasn't for that, I couldn't do most of the software stuff I do today.
Following instructions...I don't think people realize how it really helps you out in life to get ahead.
It's really helped me :)

It's no secret that Buffett actually purchased Berkshire Hathaway out of anger at the former CEO. At the time he started buying shares, they were worth less than $10 per share. When he took control of the company and began to turn it around, shares were valued at less than $30. However, over the decades of his tenure as the chairman of the company, it has grown into one of the world's largest and most successful companies. Now in 2017, Berkshire Hathaway is the world's most expensive stock and its Class A stocks go for around $250,000 each.
But what does Buffett think the stocks are actually worth? Well, as it turns out, that question is harder to answer than it might seem.
According to Buffett, he would consider repurchasing when the company's value was at 120% of Berkshire's book value. That price might seem like an odd number, but in his last letter, Buffett explained his reasoning somewhat. Without going into an accounting lesson, the fact of the matter is that the company looks like it is worth less than it actually is due to write-offs and such. This is often referred to as the company's intrinsic value.
Buffett has never come out and explained exactly how he figures out a company's intrinsic value, and so predicting a precise numeric value for Berkshire stock is hard to say. The Motley Fool suggested that 120% of the book value would translate to around $206,500, which seems like a pretty solid guess. At the time of writing, the stock is valued at around 150% of the book value.
So what does that mean for the average investor? Stocks tend to go up and down frequently and we aren't all Warren Buffett–it can be hard to determine what price is the best value. However, it's probably safe to say that if the 120% price is good enough for Buffett to consider repurchasing stock, it's probably a good bargain and therefore a great time to get in on owning a share in Buffett's company yourself if you have the money. Remember that if you don't have more than $200,000 sitting around, there are always Berkshire's Class B shares which are considerably less expensive.

VOLUNTEERS from HMS Sultan are fundraising for a trip to Africa.
Led by pastoral support worker Susie Templeton, a group of marine and air engineering trainees, and their divisional staff, will be heading to Kenya during Easter for a fortnight of challenging activities.
Using their engineering skills, the team from Gosport will take on practical tasks in the community to support work within homes for street children and orphans.
The trip is £1,900 per person so the team has organised fundraising events to pay for it.
Susie said: 'The trip will create an opportunity for the team to challenge themselves and each other.
'Working alongside our local partners will also provide us with a great opportunity to make a contribution towards the future of some of the country's most impoverished children.
'But the trip won't be possible without the support of others.'
