Playing "Nothin' But The Hard Stuff"
525 Power Tracks - Featured Artist
All That Remains

Jeanne Sagan – bass
Jason Costa – drums
All That Remains have no choice but to be honest. Ever since their formation in 1998, they've stayed true to themselves with each successive record. There's no pretense. There's no posturing. There's no pandering. Their seventh full-length effort, A War You Cannot Win [Razor & Tie], is no exception. The Massachusetts quintet—Philip Labonte [vocals], Oli Herbert [guitar], Mike Martin [guitar], Jeanne Sagan [bass], and Jason Costa [drums]—unabashedly unleash tight and taut heavy metal with arena-size hooks. Defying preconceived notions, the music is as genuine as it gets, and All That Remains wouldn't have it any other way.
Going into A War You Cannot Win, the group didn't tinker with their process much. Beginning in early 2011, they commenced writing in a Massachusetts practice space together between touring for their last offering, For We Are Many. Coming off the road, the musicians hit the studio with longtime producer Adam D [The Devil Wears Prada, As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage] to record. As they cut the album's twelve tracks, one paramount goal loomed.
"We just want to write good songs," admits Labonte. "We're not trying to be the heaviest or most technical band in the world. We're not trying to write math problems. We aim for balance. It's not about pleasing anyone or fitting into a scene. For us, it's always been about making music that's memorable and we would actually enjoy listening to it. That's the big point."
That point becomes proven tenfold on the anthemic first single, "Stand Up". From the scorching lead to the propulsive beat, it's an incendiary and infectious introduction to the record that's meant to be chanted along to.
"People can interpret it in many different ways," Labonte reveals of the song. "It's a little abstract. This band has never been about one style of music though. Any creative ideas are fair game, and everybody has input. We've always pushed the boundaries of what we are, and we'll continue to do so."
At moments, A War You Cannot Win retreats into the warmth of Herbert's classically-infused acoustic instrumental "Calculating Loneliness" before reloading the thrash firepower of the politically-charged title track or the visceral stomp of "Down Through the Ages". In other places like "What If I Was Nothing" and "Asking Too Much"—self-proclaimed "pining love songs"—the melody entwines with the lyrics, evincing tangible vulnerability. Most importantly, those vulnerable moments hit just as hard as the heavy ones in true All That Remains fashion.
"I'm fortunate to be in a band with people who have such incredible ability," Labonte smiles. "Jason and Oli make everything musically interesting and complex. They're phenomenal. Mike and I add the pop metal aspect."
As far as the album title goes, it encapsulates a deeper meaning for the outspoken singer. "I drew from a political perspective," he goes on. "It's an election year and the record drops Election Day, but it doesn't matter if you voted for one side or the other. It's still the same crap. The idea that the government can control someone's life is where A War You Cannot Win comes from. You can't go ahead and tell individuals what they can and cannot do. There will always be people who fight that power."
All That Remains has been fighting since day one. Granted, it hasn't been easy, but they've had some very significant victories rising from the much-written about East Coast metal scene into an international phenomenon.
To date, they've sold more than a million albums worldwide and 1.5 Million tracks over the course of Behind Silence and Solitude [2002], This Darkened Heart [2004], The Fall of Ideals [2006], Overcome [2008], and For We Are Many [2010]. For We Are Many actually debuted at #10 on the Billboard Top 200 and has moved over 180,000 copies. At Active Rock Radio, they've become a mainstay. "The Waiting One" hit Top 5 on the Active Rock Radio chart, becoming their first-ever Top 5 single and fifth consecutive hit for the format. "Hold On" and "The Last Time" spent over a year charting as well. They've destroyed stages worldwide with everyone from Asking Alexandria and Buckcherry to Hollywood Undead and Five Finger Death Punch as well as giving unforgettable performances at OZZfest and Download.
Ultimately though, it circles back to the fans for Labonte. "The most important thing is people can pull from the music what they want," he concludes of A War You Cannot Win. "Do the songs reflect on you? Do they affect you? Do they inspire you somehow? Do they make you think? It's not about the person who wrote the song. The listener is the most important. If people are entertained by it and they think a little bit, we couldn't ask for anything more."
All That Remains definitely accomplish that mission on A War You Cannot Win.

My RI Life: Allie Curtis, Coffee Drinker, Grad Student & Miss Rhode Island 2015
I am a proud Rhody girl and this past year I had the honor of representing the ocean state as Miss Rhode Island at Miss America. It's been a busy year zipping around the state for appearances! I also recently completed my MPA at Brown University and am now pursuing a Master's in homeland security at Salve Regina. I feel very fortunate to have attended school in two of Rhode Island's most beautiful cities!
Considering all of the time I spent at Brown, my favorite spots in Providence are nestled on the East Side or off Thayer. The Duck & Bunny has always been my favorite for a celebratory drink and cupcake or for a catch-up brunch with girlfriends. I love Tallulah's on Thames, so Tallulah's Taqueria has been a godsend to have near campus. Their tacos are to die for and they have the world's greatest chips and guac. It's also impossible for me to turn down pizza and pint at Flatbread Company. (I typically order the veggie special.) Across town, The Grange is my favorite for their vegan menu (and it was a great first date spot with my boyfriend!).
When I am in Newport, nothing beats dinner and drinks at Diego's (Blood orange margaritas are a must!). My go to lunch spot is Keenwah for a green smoothie. When it comes to Newport shopping, I love Angela Moore (They carry one of my favorite local New England lines Love, Lilly.), Island Pursuit, Island Outfitters, and Anchored in Pink. What can I say? Jackie O is my style icon.
Half my life in Rhode Island has been spent in East Greenwich. I lived right off Main Street for several years, so I frequently stop on Main Street for a Mango Glow from Raw Bob's. ZuZu's is my go to for last minute wardrobe. (From appearances to dances, the selection of Amanda Uprichard and Jude Connally at ZuZu's has never failed me!) My sweet post-pageant indulgence is Silver Spoon Bakery. Shimmer Salon and Day Spa has been my go-to for 6 years. (Massages, spray tans, hair…I do it all there!) A large iced black hazelnut coffee from Brewed Awakenings on Route 2 typically fuels my studies and appearances.
I am thrilled to spend the next two years in Newport while I finish my studies at Salve. When I'm not hitting the books, I am running the Cliff Walk, blogging or competing in pageants. (Next up, Miss RI USA!) You can keep up with my Rhody adventures on Twitter/Insta: @AllieCurtisRI and at alliecurtis.com

I've been entirely too "wordy" lately 😉 so today I'm going to give you a chance to let the last few very lengthy posts foment whatever changes may be necessary in your minds and hearts.
In the meantime, here are a couple of statistics more frightening than any Halloween ghost, ghoul or goblin. In case you get tired of worrying about your own problems, you can worry about the state of the rest of the world (and feel a little guilty for your griping while you're at it!) Ah, yes, gratitude is the antidote for negativity!
- More of your grocery money goes toward packaging than to the farmers who produce the food.
- One in eight people worldwide lack access to clean water near their homes for drinking, cooking and washing.
- Here's one that's scary, but with an easy solution (ending on a "better" note): When people throw unused medications in landfills or flush them down their plumbing systems, the medications find their way into rivers and drinking water, wreaking havoc on wildlife and humans. There's a much better way: Numerous programs that will take unused drugs and redistribute them to people who can't afford their medicines. Check out this site to read a one page discussion of the problem and solution and while you're there, subscribe for the daily environmental/do good/sometimes vegan tip from Ideal Bite. http://www.idealbite.com/tiplibrary/archives/controlling-substances/

I love reading about your growing family of animals.. you'll be like my old college friend's mum who had lots of animals (sheep too). i once saw her shopping list pinned up in the house.. after listing all the things needed for the animals .. way down at the bottom in small writing was ' food for the family'. it made me laugh.
Enjoy this weekend and please post lots of photos...

Oh Tracey.....I'm excited for you.....I can't wait to see the pics.....I am pleased the Tallula was ok for you.
It's so worrying with our animals as they can't tell you what is wrong...better to be on the safe side .I often think the smell of the vets is enough to cure them,before old vetty sticks a needle in them or a thermometer up their bums !!!!!
Pity that animals don't have an NHS.
I am going up to bed with an image of your randy sheep Boris !!!!!!!

Just thought I'd share this little sheepy-tidbit... My parents' neighbors raise sheep, and the area they live in has a big coyote problem. To alleviate the problem, the neighbors also have llamas. Apparently coyotes are afraid of llamas, who in turn, protect the sheep! Rather sweet, really. =)

People get to a clear era where by selling price isn't going to make any difference since you also have become excellent. At a small business view I am able to understand why cutting down excellent will probably price reduction; although to be a purchaser, When i tend not to wish an economical solution considering that the selling price is usually low cost. One example is, ebooks intend a digital swifter in comparison with almost any ex- paper-product function small business, aside from the precise report small business. Even so, it is because in this big marketplace intending a digital of which report corporations usually are bringing down prices in addition to advertising more cost-effective report with regard to excellent.
Report merchandise utilized intended for vehicle lotto tickets, ATM receipts, position connected with gross sales, game playing lotto tickets, professional medical report (prescription paper), or maybe clean-up merchandise. It truly is in excess of simply just computer printer report intended for at-home desktops.
Recycled report is usually asked fewer excellent report, which often is just not the way it is. Recycled report is constructed out of post-consumer information. The item is constructed out of technological know-how of which makes high-quality report, including another. Even so, picking out recycled report provides each green cognizant purchaser many simplicity of intellect. A different delusion We'll debunk is usually BPA with report... Though When i aid double-checking, When i couldn't possibly be far too related to BPA with report. Almost all is usually BPA cost-free.
Arctic report is usually taken by excellent manufacturers and is particularly cost adequately. The item satisfies many OEM helps make in addition to products and is particularly BPA cost-free. Years to come product labels work with strong arctic in addition to arctic transport product labels. Product labels usually are generated with almost any measurement center. Long-run name attributes include things like:
Cell phone producing is usually a vogue bonrollen as used by vehicle attendants producing lotto tickets. Though there're definitely not people's beloved man or women, another person should practice it. Regardless, cell phone producing moves usually are advanced report having nearly 8 colorings and have absolutely state-of-the-art safety measures attributes to counteract sham; there may be normally cost-free warehousing in addition to swift turnaround situations intended for with almost any obtain sizing's.
When i typically select outside of having a ATM delivery, even so the in financial terms recommended man or women couldn't to help account for money withdrawn or maybe put into the account. Banking companies in addition to living companies are going for excellent ATM report intended for shoppers picking out acknowledge this delivery. Alternatives for that report allows banking companies ATM exam moves, teller delivery moves, traditional bank transactions with large moves or maybe personalized coin wraps.
To be a purchaser or maybe purchaser, it truly is nearly you to manufacture a publicity or maybe accompany the products merchandise. Of which record can potentially come in by means of definitely not paying for low cost merchandise. In this way most of us fixed the normal connected with what exactly excellent is usually, corporations know that.

This represents the perigee, when the moon is placed 220,000 miles away from Earth.
As this event differs according to region, the name is hardly universal, so others call it the "Rose Moon" (European colonists) or the "Moon of Horses" (Celtic tradition), among others. Technically, this is a "micromoon" - a full moon that will be a little smaller than an average full moon. We know what you're thinking: a reddish-pinkish moon in the sky?
A Micromoon (Pygmy Full moon) phenomenon takes place when a full Moon coincides with Apogee (the point in the Moon's orbit farthest from Earth), and it is the opposite of the Supermoon.
Apple's HomePod speaker pumps up the volume on tech rivals
It's part of Apple's effort to entice professionals with tablets that can handle many tasks previously reserved for laptops. At $349 (£240.23), Homepod will be more expensive than Google Home and Amazon Echo , but cheaper than the Sonos Play 5.
This month's full moon, also known as strawberry moon, is unique, since it's the smallest full moon of the year. Therefore, depending on its position, it appears smaller or larger in different periods of the year. Ancient or native people coined a lot of them.
According to Native American folklore, a full moon in June is called a Strawberry Moon because the short season for harvesting strawberries comes during that summer month. It will appear full even on the nights before and after the peak.
The moon will be fullest during daylight Friday, which is why the best time to see it will be the early morning hours after midnight. It is called Green Corn Moon, the Planting Moon or the Birth Moon, all because of its link to crops and farming.
Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education: Results of Class 8 and Class 10
The result of students from government schools stood at 75.69% as against the results of private schools, which came to 82.49%. Results for science and commerce stream was declared on May 15 while results for the Arts stream were declared on May 27.
The Strawberry Moon will reach its fullest phase on June 09, at 1309 GMT or 9:09 a.m. EDT.
Minimoons are generally slightly less luminous than a regular full moon. Again, there won't be anything special with how the moon will appear on June 9 nor will it shine in strawberry pink unlike the extremely large supermoon from past year. Experts say that the next minimoon will appear in July 2018.

Figuring Out Services
Why It Can Be Important to Have the Right Kind of Car Hauling Service If you're the type of person who is really interested in finding various types of rare and fancy cars to put in your collection, you will likely have to spend a good bit of time looking all over the place before you find what you need. Because of how infrequently these types of cars will be on the market, there is no doubt that you'll sometimes have to look to some faraway places when you're hoping to be able to end up with the right kind of car. If you're like a lot of other people, though, you may not quite have the freedom to travel around to deal with these car sales. Because of this, you'll really need to spend some time considering the types of other methods you can use to manage all of your car transport needs. Fortunately, there are a number of companies that will be able to take on the work of shipping cars all over the United States. If you want to learn more about why these companies can be such a good choice, make sure to check out some of the information in the following article. What you're going to find is that there are many good reasons why you might want to work with these types of companies. For one thing, you're going to find that these types of car hauling services will allow you to avoid quite a bit of wear and tear on the vehicles that you're purchasing. Because you likely want to keep your purchases in as good a condition as possible, you don't want to add the stress of a cross-country drive to their history. A car hauling service will simply carry your vehicle to its destination, which will save countless miles and any risk of damage.
What Almost No One Knows About Businesses
You may also find that using these kinds of companies will make it possible for you to end up saving quite a bit more money overall. When you consider the time that you'd have to take off of work in order to drive the vehicle home from the seller, you will be able to see how you would ultimately lose money on the trip. As long as you're able to find the right sort of transport service that operates at a low cost, you can get your vehicle delivered in a much more cost-effective way.
The Beginners Guide To Transportation (From Step 1)
It's easy to see why people who buy rare cars will pay for a specialized transit service to move them around. When you've been able to pick a great service, you'll find it easy to be able to have your car waiting for you at home.

TOTAL well-being
The technological advancements made in the 21st century have undoubtedly made life easier in many ways, but this golden age of gadgets has not come without some negative side effects. Thanks to the near-constant availability of the Internet and devices like smartphones and tablets, many men and women find it difficult to maintain their focus throughout the day. But while such distractions are never too far away, there are some ways to stay focused and productive.
• Get more exercise. Studies have shown that exercise and improved mental focus are linked. In a 2013 analysis of 19 studies involving more than 500 children, teenagers and young adults, researchers found that exercise sessions between 10 and 40 minutes immediately boosted concentration and mental focus. That improvement might be a result of exercise increasing blood flow to the brain. Men and women who find themselves struggling to focus at work after lunchtime may benefit from incorporating some exercise, whether it's a brief walk or a more strenuous workout, into their midday routines.
• Perform breathing exercises. Nervousness is an oft-overlooked cause of loss of focus. When nervous, breath can become shallow and restricted, which can have a negative impact on the flow of oxygen to your brain, making it more difficult to concentrate. Professional athletes have long espoused to the virtues of breathing exercises as a means to calming their nerves, and professionals can follow suit. Some simple breathing exercises can help busy professionals multitask more effectively by helping them concentrate on the tasks at hand and overcome the distraction of having so much to do at one time.
• Stay hydrated. A recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that dehydration caused loss of focus and a sense of fatigue among women. While the loss of focus was considered insubstantial and the study only examined women, remaining hydrated throughout the day may make it easier to focus on work and other tasks throughout the day.
• Get adequate sleep. One of the best ways to improve focus during the day is to make sure you're getting enough sleep at night. Sleep deprivation produces a host of negative consequences, not the least of which is its impact on cognitive functioning. Research has shown that sleep deprivation compromises alertness and concentration, making it more difficult to focus at work and tackle tasks that require deep analysis and thought. In addition, a survey from the National Sleep Foundation found that sleepdeprived men and women are less likely to exercise and eat healthy diets, each of which can boost mental acuity.
Focusing in today's atmosphere of constant distractions can be difficult, but men and women can overcome diversions by employing a handful of successful strategies aimed at improving concentration.
Have you heard of Bowenwork?
This unique, gentle hands-on therapy began in Australia in the 1950's. It has been in the United States since 1991, and is currently in 37 countries. The Bowen Team is now offering this subtle, effective technique in Kennebunk.
Bowen is very light touch, non-invasive, but stimulating your body to self-correct via addressing the brain, and unwinding old trauma for renewed health. Our light, targeted touch prompts the body to get to work, improving as fast as it can, efficiently and effectively, at its own pace. All systems benefit, but initially it is the nervous system that comes out of fight-flight and into rest-repair mode. As the body balances, 'reboots', people report feeling relaxed yet energized. Whether acute injury, chronic pain or disease, anxiety, depression or breathing problems, Bowen aids in correction of dysfunctional patterns.
The Bowen Team is 4 practitioners joining together to help people regain their health. To find out more, go to www.thebowenteam.org. Check it out at the first Community Clinic offered Saturday, June 4 from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm at Center for Mindful Health, 153 Port Rd., Kennebunk. 207-254- 9136

Dr. Ellie's Health Tips:
Health Tip of the Month: Sugar consumption is at an all-time record high. At the same time, obesity and diabetes rates have skyrocketed worldwide. For the first time in history, obese people outnumber those who are underweight, and prediabetes affects half of the adults in the USA. According to a 2014 study, 10 percent of Americans consume 25 percent or more of their daily calories in the form of added sugars. Most adults (71.4 percent) get at least 10 percent of their daily calories from added sugar. The ramifications of this are significant. People who consumed 21 percent or more of their daily calories in the form of sugar were TWICE as likely to die from heart disease compared to those who got 7 percent or less or their daily calories from added sugar. The risk was nearly TRIPLED among those who consumed 25 percent or more of their daily calories from added sugar. That means at least 10 percent of the adult population in the U.S. are in this tripled-risk category. The average American consumes around 20 teaspoons of added sugar a day. This is more than three times the recommended amount, and the evidence clearly indicates that this dietary trend goes hand in hand with our current epidemics of obesity and chronic disease. Four grams of sugar is equivalent to about 1 teaspoon. So, when you read your food labels and the sugar contents (for example), says 20 grams - that is equal to 5 teaspoons of sugar. And then think of all the different packaged foods (breakfast cereals, snacks, candy, soft drinks, deserts) you eat in a day. The sugar intake can easily add up to 15-20 teaspoons of sugar!! According to Dr. Robert Lustig, a neuroendocrinologist who has done extensive research on the role of sugar in your body, your liver can safely metabolize only about 6 teaspoons of added sugar per day. Any excess gets metabolized into body fat. Cancer cells need glucose (sugar) to thrive, and carbohydrates turn into glucose in your body. In order to starve the cancer cells, you have to eliminate its primary food source, i.e. the sugars, which include all non-vegetable carbohydrates. Physiologist Dr. Otto Warburg received a Nobel Prize back in 1934 for his research identifying cancer's primary fuel was from anaerobic fermentation of glucose. He clearly demonstrated that cancer cells require sugar to thrive. More recent research has also concluded that sugar appears to initiate cancer growth. One of the most important ways to dramatically cut down on your sugar and fructose consumption is to simply eat real food, as most of the added sugar you end up with comes from processed fare: not from adding a teaspoon of sugar to your tea or coffee. Another way to cut down on the sugar in your diet is eliminating sugar you personally add to your food and drink or consume in the form of processed foods.

|How can you forgive this guy for standing you up and not forgive me for this tiny little thing of putting you out of business?
Quotes from You've Got Mail film 8
Some tweaking? A project that needed tweaking. That's what he said. Tweaking? Have you said, Are you married? No, I'm not going to...
I know this is a little late to be asking but are you married?
Am I married? What kind of question is that? How can you ask me that? Don 't you know me at all?
Wait, I get it. Your friends are saying the reason we haven 't met is I'm married. Am I right?
He didn't answer.
Yes, he did. He did not. He did! He did. He nailed me.
He knew what I was after which is, by the way, exactly like him.
He did not answer the question, did he? Maybe he's fat. He's fat. He's a fatty.
I don't care.
You don't care that he's so fat he has to be removed from his house by a crane. That is very unlikely.
That is completely ridiculous.
What's his handle? I'm not going to write him. You think I'm going to email him?
All right, NY152.
NY152? He's 152 years old. He's had 152 moles removed so now he's got 152 pockmarks on his on his face.
The number of people who think he looks like Clark Gable. 152 people who think he looks like a Clark Bar. Why'd I even tell you? 152 stitches from his nose job. His address. No, he would never do anything that prosaic. The only thing I really care about is that aside from the married thing and the jail thing is the boat thing. What boat thing? I could never be with someone who had a boat. I have a boat. Which clinches it. We'll never be together. How many? Three. Allow me. Thank you. I could never be with someone who likes Joni Mitchell. It's cloud's illusions I recall. I really don't know clouds at all. What does that mean? Is she a pilot? It must be a metaphor, but I don't know what it is. How's your book coming? There's this children's book editor I know. She's excited to read it when I'm finished. Who would have thought that I would write? If I hadn't had all this time. You know what? What? The truth is he was the one who got me thinking about writing. Mr. 152 Felony indictments. Mr. 152 insights into My Soul. No competing with that. I keep on bumping into you. Hope your mango's ripe. I think it is. How about meeting Saturday? Four o 'clock. There's a place in Riverside Park where the path curves and there's a garden. Brinkley and I will be waiting. Okay, let's do it. Ready? And. There it goes! Today? I know. In Riverside Park. That would mean he's a Westside. Maybe I've seen him and don't even know it. You could have seen him every day. It's possible. He could be anyone. He could be that guy. And those flowers are for you. Will you cut it out? You'd never have to buy new luggage. The timing here is everything. He's waited until you're primed. See? Until you are absolutely convinced that there's no other man that you could possibly love. You know, sometimes I wonder. What? If I hadn't been Fox Books and you hadn't been The Shop Around The Corner and you and I had just met. I know. I'd have asked for your number. I wouldn't have been able to wait 24 hours before calling... You and I would never have been at war. The only thing we'd fight about would be which video to rent. Who fights about that? Some people. Not us. We would never. If only. I got to go. Let me ask you something. How I wish you would. I really have to go. You don't want to be late. Don't cry, Shopgirl. Don't cry. I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly.

Business schools have an elevator pitch for prospective students: Choose our school and win cash for your startup.
Contests for M.B.A. students to sell faculty judges on their business ideas have existed for decades, but the size, scope and stakes of the events have ballooned as business schools struggle to lure in young professionals who are increasingly wary of shelling out as much as $250,000 for the graduate degree.

At frequent intervals during the day, whenever you can remember Yoga namaste to do so, observe your mind. Notice if it has been concentrated on what you Yoga namasteare doing, helping you to do it with the maximum efficiency Yoga namaste and least expenditure of time and energy, or if it is wandering, continually distracted and Yoga namaste filled with thoughts that have no bearing on your work.
Persons who cannot concentrate their minds on the point of their work generally prove inefficient. They waste time and energy and the quality of what they do is poor. Knowing how to concentrate will open up new faculties of the mind and give you an insight into how to accomplish what you must with a minimum of effort. Also, during your leisure hours, notice if your mind is cluttered with idle day-dreams, wishful thinking, repetitious thoughts of the past and fantasies of the future.
Such workings of the ordinary mind sap our life-force and lend sub stance and reality to the illusionary way in which we see the world and ourselves in relation to it. If you use the above methods of suddenly, unexpectedly getting the feelof your ordinary mind, of observing the thoughts which are passing through it at various times of the day, you will become very aware of how much these thoughts include useless concern, false anxiety and foolish daydreaming.

19 Weeks
Well, another week came and went. This was the fastest week yet. You really
your thumb these days and I can't seem to get you to stop. Don't get me wrong, it's super cute when you go to town on it but it's easier to wean you from a bink rather than your thumb because we can't really take your thumb away.
You are getting closer from rolling from your back to belly and you are giggling more now. Last week when we got your Christmas pictures taken, you threw your head back and was giggling at the photographer! Cutest thing EVER! I'm looking forward to many more laughs!!
We had your very first Christmas this week, not that you'll remember but I made sure to take lots of pictures for you to look back on. You slept as soon as we started opening gifts Christmas morning until we finished. You also took a nap in the afternoon while we were at my grandmas.
We are planning on starting to put you in your crib through the night this weekend, I'm a little nervous to be honest! I'm really hoping it goes well.
I'm looking forward to starting the new year and all of the exciting things it will bring (your first words, first steps, etc..) but I have to start back to school on the 14th and I'm already freaking out about leaving you! Ugh!
I love you baby doll!!
Xoxo, Momma
I told you you like your thumb!!

Our environment is under continual stress from a resource hungry population, meaning that organisations who understand their environmental footprint and measure resource use, not only improve their impact on the environment but also become more competitive through better brand recognition in an informed society.
The Net Balance Environment team works with clients to go beyond compliance to deliver a more resilient organisation, through environmental protection, reduced costs, and sustainable resource use.
Below are examples of some of the work we have done for our clients.
EPA Victoria
Net Balance assisted industries to manage and mitigate dust emissions on site as part of an overall strategic dust mitigation program for the region. Net Balance continues to work with EPA Victoria, industry and stakeholders on other programs to reduce dust and provide supportive predictive systems. Monitoring results support the success of this project.
Sustainability Victoria
Net Balance conducted a Recycling Market Analysis of brick, stone, concrete, timber and glass markets for Sustainability Victoria. This project included extensive stakeholder consultation across the market and recycling value chain for key materials. The study provided an analysis of market conditions, material flows, future growth scenarios and opportunities for development in Victoria. Sustainability Victoria used the outcomes of the market analysis, to developed their $550,000 Timber Recycling fund.
Net Balance prepared a cradle-to-grave Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of one of Frigoglass' refrigerator ranges to help inform product design and business strategy. An LCA output calculator was built from over 100 separate unit processes, each modelled using an ISO 14040 based methodology and accessing international LCI databases using SimaPro LCA software. The calculator allowed Frigoglass to examine the potential environment improvements attainable by varying a range of different product specifications and end of life management options.
Environmental Audits
Net Balance undertook a number of environmental audits in relation to the risks to surface water and groundwater from sewerage assets managed by Water authorities. These authorities included all of the metropolitan authorities (Melbourne Water, South East Water, City West Water and Yarra Valley Water) and regionally for Coliban Water. The results of these audits provided further support and recommendations to the protection of surface water and groundwater from sewerage assets and developed further programs for Water Plan 3.
Department of the Environment
As part of the product stewardship programs for the take back of fluorescent lighting. Net Balance conducted a stock and flow modelling of recycling rates (derived from product specifications, usage characteristics and customer/scheme participant analysis).

Words of Support and Encouragement Week of October 11, 2011
Good morning! I hope that you had a great weekend. The journey to your most fertile and healthy self can be very challenging. You may experience a diagnosis that you did not foresee, or you may suffer a great loss along the way. It is important to recognize that grief is a sometimes a companion on this journey, and I'd like you to feel supported and prepared. Attending the Circle of Hope support group sessions, connecting with a Fertile Friend, and speaking with a counselor on a regular basis are wonderful ways to cope with many of the challenging emotions you will encounter. I highly suggest that all of our clients meet with a counselor on a regular basis, to work through anything that is inhibiting your ability to move forward. Counselors are also a great resource for discerning the next step, and coping strategies for those moments when your friend or sister becomes pregnant.
To locate a counselor in your area, please feel free to contact me or one of our nurses. I would also suggest connecting with your primary physician for a recommendation if you are out of town. Additionally, your religious or spiritual community may have a connection in the community for you to pursue.
If you are in the Syracuse area and would like to meet one of the counselors that we regularly refer to, I'd like to invite you to our Syracuse Circle of Hope support group meeting tonight, October 10th at 5:30p. We will meet in the reception area.
If you need any additional support or would like a counselor recommendation, please feel free to contact me.
Have a great week!

Some Updates ....
And so it's already Tuesday. I've been meaning to blog, I really have, but for some reason by the time I get home I'm just too exhausted. And then I have to make dinner and then clean the dishes up afterwards and then prep our lunches for the next day and then take a shower and then it's 10 PM and I'm about ready to pass out.
Anyways. No need to get into that. Oh haven't I told yet? Well, I've decided to be more positive. I'm going to have a more optimistic outlook on the future. So instead of complaining and griping and making caustic sarcastic comments about my student loans and living at home and my insanely long and miserable commute -- oh there I go again. Anyhow next time I want to say something negative, I'm just going to smile and think of rainbows and butterflies.
So this week Ivy's in the Dominican Republic on what I call her honeymoon, not because she got married or anything but because her and Obette are at one of those fancy all-inclusive resorts for 10 DAYS. Yes 10 entire days. Who goes to a beach resort for 10 days? Why honeymooners do. So yes, while she is in the DR resorting, I am stuck at home - bathing, walking, pooping and feeding her stinky dog. This past weekend, I kept smelling stinky feet. Everywhere I went, feet feet feet. Usually the culprit is Chris, but this time, it was the dog. He literally smelled like a foot. Oh it was horrible. It really was. So I gave him a good long bath. I scrubbed his bottom and cleaned in between his little webbed paw feet. God knows how long it's been since Ivy's washed him. Weeks? Months? Who knows. Anyways, today, I smelled Poncho again and he smelled like dirty kids. Not as bad as a foot, but still bad. I think it's the hot weather. Poor pup.
This weekend I also put together my mom's website. Well, Chris set it up and I just played with the fonts and colors. What do ya'll think? Link Here. I know, it needs some work, but I think the foundation is there. It'll be a work in progress.
Oh and some more updates, I think I'm going to do a destination wedding. The Riviera Maya in Meh-hee-koh. It's my whim of the week. Who knows. Maybe I'll stick with it this time. I'll start planning when Ivy gets back. She's better at stuff like that. Why, you know what, I think I'll just let her plan it. So stay tuned for what Ivy's decided ...
And in case you're wondering. Chris is on his diet full force. He's already lost 5 lbs. He's been on a super healthy food regimen and he's at the gym every morning at 5:30 AM. Pretty impressive huh. Me? -- I had a Krispy Kreme chocolate glazed donut and an iced coffee on Saturday and all day today, I've been thinking about making a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting which I will probably do sometime this week. I'm trying. I really am.
Signing out,
Yours Truly.

School for Advanced Study (SAS)
Serrania Avenue Elementary is one of a select group of schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District that has been designated as a "School for Advanced Studies". The "SAS" Program was originally created in a response to the great demand for Magnet Schools with gifted programs. The purpose of SAS is to provide high level academic programs to serve the educational needs of highly able learners within their local school community, thereby removing the need for these children to travel to school outside their neighborhood.
All teachers in the LAUSD who work with identified gifted students receive additional training in gifted education and differentiated instruction. SAS classes emphasize problem solving activities that use a variety of resources. Teachers differentiate the curriculum to meet the unique learning needs of the students. Although the curriculum is the same as in non-SAS classes, the subjects are taught in greater breadth, depth and complexity. Critical and creative thinking, investigation, flexible groupings are emphasized through the use of a variety of formats and resources.
At Serrania, the K through 2 SAS classrooms are used for screening and students are placed in these SAS classrooms by teacher recommendation. Children coming out of the 2nd grade are identified by way of t
he Otis-Lennon School Ability Test.
Clusters of identified gifted students are placed with teachers trained in gifted education within a heterogeneous classroom.
stands for Gifted and Talented Education. This program addresses the special needs of the identified gifted students. The state has recommendations, standards and funding for these programs and at Serrania, the GATE funding supports our SAS program. Each school with a GATE and/or SAS program has a site coordinator and a parent rep.

When the weather starts to become unpredictable and life feels chaotic, it is more important than ever to establish self-care rituals that are nurturing and grounding. Especially during the fall, drinking warm beverages can soothe the soul. Chai is the word for tea in many parts of the world and Indian chai is a delicious spiced tea with milk. There are many different blends of spices that can be used, and I played with a number of recipes to recreate a sweet and spicy vegan version of chai.
Sweet & Spicy Vegan Chai
(make 1 generous or 2 smaller servings)
1 inch piece ginger, grated
5 cardamom pods
5 whole cloves
2 whole peppercorns
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1 cinnamon stick (optional)
1 cup water
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp coconut sugar
ground cinnamon to taste (optional)
Grate the ginger and gently crush cardamom, cloves and peppercorns.
Place ginger, cardamom, cloves, peppercorns, cinnamon stick and 1 cup water into saucepan.
Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add coconut sugar or sweetener of your choice. Mix well and bring to a boil.
Add almond milk and let simmer for several minutes.
Pour through a strainer into a large mug and sprinkle ground cinnamon on top.
Wrap your hands around your mug and take some time to fill your senses.

"WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS"! I'm on the mend. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND KIND WISHES. 91 pounds has never looked so good. If you could have seen me at 87 and at my usual weight of 100 you would have been shocked. I WAS!!
I've been embarrassed by family members, who love me, by asking when I was going to gain some weight, feeling they were judging me as I had judged others not knowing about the debilitation of Crohn's disease and other illnesses that drain your life force from you. I didn't know what was going on inside my small intestines, I just knew I was having a hard time maintaining my weight and stamana.
I have been guilty of judging extremely thin people of various self induced things, but never again and I am so sorry for that. I was taught better than to judge other people.
Weight is a very touchy subject no matter what you weigh, the media suggest we all look a certain way but God has created us all unique and different in every way so next time you see someone that doesn't fit into the media's design of perfect size give thanks to God for our own unique individuality. Our uniqueness is what makes us SPECIAL.

6 Benefits of Online Applications
Online applications are providing several advantages over other systems, advantages which recommend it as an ideal tool for companies.
Collective intelligence at organizational level
Group Intelligence in entrepreneurship has always challanged managers ability to combine the experience of senior employees with the enthusiasm of the newest members of the team uninitiated in the field. In most cases, young students lack practical experience can be countered through a prepared and talented team and efficient project management.
Developing this idea in software services, we can say that an ideal custom software business needs to provide a positive group intelligence that helps all members in achieving collective goals. Also, by providing the necessary information at the right time can improve the entire process of work in developing software applications and services, necessary especially for the new members of the company.
When a group of people manage to cooperate efficient, members of this group can get a surplus of individual capacities that can reduce the risk of failure. This collective intelligence is correlated primarily with the ability to establish efficient colaboration between members.
Software designed to improve internal activity within a company, compensate in most cases human resources and contribute to an overall income.
In organizational culture are three fundamental roles that team members can play in a company:
- The organizers - the people who manage the result-oriented process, those who have functions related to analysis and quality control;
- Those who accept - represent the majority in any company and serve to validate any innovative management action, spreading his popularity among the rest of the team;
- Creators of relations - are members who can create subgroups with ease and make social connections necessary in any organization;

Hillary Kerr: 10 Things I Can't Live Without
A woman who has fostered a career on her fabulous taste, Kerr is our office go-to for creative ideas, fun suggestions, and celebratory know-how. "My entertaining style is definitely two things: impromptu and maximalist. Planning a party isn't really my thing; I much prefer a spontaneous get together or an accidental party," she says. Always one to offer a perfect pun or chic suggestion, we asked her to share her must-haves for living and entertaining with style.
Photographs: Andrew Arthur
|Sonos Play:3 Wireless Speaker For Streaming Music Making mixtapes is probably my favorite hobby, especially because I get to listen to them on these dummy-proof speakers. They sound great and are so ridiculously easy to set up, I bet even my mom could do it. (Love you Carole!) $300, Best Buy
|Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label Champagne My (very indulgent) New Year's resolution was to always have one bottle in the fridge and one in the bar. It's the only resolution I've ever kept. When you have bubbles on hand, you celebrate more. And that is never a bad thing! $50, Wine
|August Morgan Embroidered Owl Have Another Cocktail Napkins As you might have guessed, I like to entertain. The punny line on these linen cocktail napkins just slays me. There are also many different styles available, if you don't fancy owls. Bees, camels, you name it. $32 (Set of Four), Taigan
|Diptyque Feu de Bois Candle I'm a girly girl, but I don't like my house to smell particularly feminine, which is why this woodsy candle is my go-to. The scent is relatively subtle, which I like, and everyone seems to adore it. $60, Diptyque Paris
|Orchids Honestly: I have a black thumb. But I love flowers! My compromise is buying potted orchids at Trader Joe's. They're pretty inexpensive and when they stop flowering, I take them to my mom's house where she rehabs them. It's a cycle. $10, Ikea
|Madeline Weinrib Black Stripe Pencil Box The thought of seeing all my TV remotes, all over my coffee table? Horrifying. So I hide/organize them in a Madeline Weinrib pencil box. It looks so much better, plus it's easier to find my Apple TV remote now. $395, Barney's New York
|Vintage Jadeite Dishes Green is my favorite color and I have a soft spot for all things vintage. The result of these two predilections is my collection of Jadeite dishes. I store them with my vintage cookbooks--so pretty! $48, Ruby Lane
|Lips Print by Jessica Rowe I have four of these Lara Stone-inspired prints by Jessica Rowe hanging in my dining room: I'm just obsessed. The site where I bought them--Made By Girl--is a great source for affordable art and gifts too. $44, The Aestate
|Laguiole Cheese Knives A really amazing friend of mine gave me these knives for Christmas last year and I've used them a million times since. They're so chic and actually work really well: win, win. $56 (Set of Four), Bed Bath and Beyond
|Vintage Books Books, especially vintage ones, are my weakness and AbeBooks.com is where I go to indulge. It's the best website for old copies of all my favorite slightly salacious books: Scruples by Judith Krantz, Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann, and Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis from $1, AbeBooks
|Remi Bookcases My book collection was out of control, but now it's neatly organized in these simple bookcases. This style really appealed to me because it's pretty timeless, plus the brass brings a little understated glamour to my living room. $899, Crate & Barrel
|Breville Stainless Steel Smart Oven Microwaves aren't for me, but I've never met a toaster oven I didn't adore. I use mine every single day, usually for melting cheese on something. $250, Sur la Table

Kapil Sharma has reportedly stopped drinking and left the rehab some 28 days ahead of schedule, where he was recovering from alcoholism.
Kapil Sharma
Popular comedian Kapil Sharma, who was not keeping well for quite some time, and was undergoing ayurvedic detox treatment for his alcohol addiction, is out of rehabilitation. Kapil was part of a 40-day rehab programme in Bangalore, but has left rehab 28 days early, and has stopped drinking completely. But according to reports, his comedy show, The Kapil Sharma Show, will only be aired after he has fully recovered.
Kapil is feeling much better. I can sense the changes in him. He had been pushing himself too far during the last few years. He wasn't taking the warnings seriously. Now, finally, God planned this break for him. And it has done him a world of good. He has stopped drinking completely, at least, for now.
About Kapil leaving the rehab early, the source said it was necessary for Kapil's new film Firangi, which is scheduled to release in November: He needed to return to Mumbai to complete his film Firangi and start promoting and marketing it for its November release.
Kapil Sharma addressed rumors of his deteriorating emotional and physical condition earlier this month, telling Bollywood Hungama; "Main thoda phisal gaya tha. Abb sambhal gaya hoon (I slipped now I've regained composure)". This was followed by a confession, which was a first from Kapil that he had started drinking heavily. It was so unnecessary and so painful.
Earlier this month, Kapil had opened up about his alcohol addiction. He admitted there was a problem. And he had paid a heavy price for it. But what was reported was grossly exaggerated and almost entirely fabricated. It was said that he got angry and threw a shoe at Sunil (Grover) You've known me for some years. Kapil Sharma, who was reputed both for his onscreen persona and his show, began losing personality after this mid-air altercation with Sunil Grover. Kapil was allegedly inebriated during a flight back from Melbourne and assaulted and abused Sunil on board. The Kapil Sharma Show regulars Ali Asgar, Chandan Prabhakar and Sugandha Mishra had quit the show in support of Sunil Grover.
But fans of Kapil will have to wait some more to see The Kapil Sharma Show back on the screen. The show will return only when Kapil has fully recovered. Kapil has realized that health is the most important thing in life. As for the show, it is very dear to him and it is not going anywhere.

This is my outfit for tonight! This dress, courtesy of Oh My Love, arrived just in time for New Years! It's absolutely perfect for the occasion with a tulle underskirt, and its short, strapless, fitted shape and puffy skirt. Plus it's sparkly! I'm not doing anything huge for this New Years eve, just hanging out with a group of my closet friends, which I'm really looking forward to.
Here's a song to get you in the mood for New Years (it's a good 'un! Have a listen! Dance dance dance!)
You can't see it from far away, but this is my make-up for tonight - subtle gold sparkles on my eyes and lips. Actually, you can't even really see it in this photo either (I'm kind of embarrassingly bad at make-up for a fashion blogger really, haha).

So I LOVE it when science is combined with art. Random International have created a Rain Room installation, which allows participants to explore the room and their movements influence the fall of the rain - and at the same time, measures and researches the behaviours of its viewers.
The Art and Science Journal best capture the aim of the artwork:
"[Rain Room invites participants] to contemplate how technology alters our environment, ultimately questioning the role humans play in its alteration. It provides an instance where the forces beyond human control (i.e.: the weather) are manipulated by human activity."
Please go if you live in the UK. It looks way too good. Click here for the gallery's website!
Hope you all have an amazing 2013!

Both ANC members will be speaking in the province up until Tuesday, in what seems like a bid to entrench their names in the party's stronghold region ahead of the official campaigning kick-off in June.
But why is KZN such a hot topic in ANC politics? The answer is simple, more than 150 000 ANC members are based in the province alone -- that's almost a quarter of the party's national membership figures.
Ramaphosa is expected to deliver the keynote speech at the South African Democratic Teachers' Union's Gala Dinner at the Greyville Racecourse in Durban tonight.
Dlamini-Zuma, who has already made appearances in Pietermaritzburg and the Moses Mabhida region this week, will on Sunday address a congregation at the Saint Catherine Roman Church in Bulwer and on Monday, will attend the renaming ceremony of the KwaSani Municipality. The Municipality in the Harry Gwala region will now be named after her.
President Jacob Zuma will also be in his home province on Sunday, joining the congregants of the Abundant Life Church and other worshippers at a service in Durban to pray for peace and prosperity.
KZN is certainly a force to be reckoned within the run for presidency of the ANC. It served as the foundation for President Zuma's second term in office. It has been the party's key performer since 2006, even though numbers have dropped significantly since then.
Dlamini-Zuma will certainly be a strong contender in KZN -- leaving the task to Ramaphosa to sway support.
Her ex-husband still has strong support in the province, especially in the rural areas. That will be Dlamini-Zuma's big advantage. Another would be her overwhelming support from the Women's League in the province. But there has been a rapture in the factions – and that is where Ramaphosa will seek to come in.
Other provinces are much more fluid, some said to be firmly in the grasp of either of the two candidates. But it is too early to tell. What is certain is that the biggest battlefield will be KZN and, while Dlamini-Zuma will strive to keep her support there, Ramaphosa has plenty room to take control.

Hi, thanks for you reviews. With regards to the budget dual cams, what is your opinion on the Aukey DR03?
Also, how does the SGGCX2PRO compare to the SG9663DC?
Thank you for your research here, Car Cam Central. I have been researching for a bit now and can use your help in decision making. I need the dash cam to be: – Dual dash cam – capacitor based – not sure battery based will provide long enough shelf life unless you can provide some info that it doesn't matter – Fill feature ADAS or at least can assist with reversing the car or parallel parking – backup camera should be windshield mountable, not safe to put on the license plate – front camera removable from the mount when car not in use so that thieves don't break in the car to steal the camera – mobile app to easily view and download files – High def – over 1080 for front and definitely 1080 for back – night vision – built-in or external gps – video stabilizer or something… Read more »
hi im noushad from india and in looking for dual channel dash with parking mode. budget $150 to $200.
i loved viofo A129 but any other models if im missing please pour in ur comments and recommendations.
Andrew, you haven't posted in a while. Did they buy you off? I can imagine your hard hitting reviews make you less than a favorite of the industry. But they are the best reviews by far. If you are going to do more I for one would be willing to pay a small amount to support the effort.
Anker's Roav dashcams have a couple of newer available models, C2 and A1. Do you know what are differences between the two models. Both models are similarly priced.
Would love you to do a review of the ZXS X9 out of china. Currently it's on Amazon. Thanks
Hey Andrew,
When are you going to review the new Viofo a129 Duo and compare it to the a119? I'm was ready to purchase the a119, based on your review until I learned that the a129 has been released.
Thanks for all the reviews, they have been very helpful.
I also would love for you to review the A129.
using a A129 myself and totally happy with the built quality as well as the video quality. haven't found any issues so far, wifi has been good, rear camera is nice and discreet, definitely a step up from the A119s. highly recommended! for this price, you can hardly go wrong.
Hey Andrew,
I just bought the dual channel mini 0906 from Amazon with the parking guard. I had a mechanic install the whole thing and for the last couple days the camera seriously over heats in a matter of minutes, both while driving and while the car is off and it's in parking guard mode. On both a cool, cloudy day with full blast air conditioning to a hot day, the temperature of the camera goes from say, 80 degrees all the way to 170.
Have any insight on what might be causing the problem? I'm using SD card(s) that you recommended as well.
Thank you for your time.
Any opinions on Papago or 4Sight dashcams?
Hi Andrew,
Have you heard of Viralsaur? I've been seeing their Ad online for a little while now. It might be something worth checking out for a budget car cam.

Gavin's troops must heed past
So far, so typically straight-forward for the Dubs. But is it now time to start getting worried?
After all, three years have passed since Jim Gavin's super-slick machine - then, as now, defending All-Ireland champions - swatted away Monaghan at the quarter-final stage with a level of fuss that scarcely qualified as minimal.
In 2014, they ran amok by 17 points. Last Saturday, they cruised home by ten. Somewhat less emphatic, but only in a statistical sense.
It may as well have been 20, so enormous was the chasm.
But in 2014, many of you will never forget, that quarter-final cruise was the misleading preamble to a watershed date with the then-champions of Ulster.
A team with a system predicated on massed defence and the ability to counter-attack in numbers at rapier pace. A team famed for its savage fitness levels. A team overseen by a shrewd tactical mind.
Then it was Donegal and Jim McGuiness.
Now it's Tyrone and Mickey Harte.
Three years ago, it all appeared to be going serenely to the Sky Blue plan with the Dubs five points clear and with Paul Flynn and Diarmuid Connolly taking it in turns to kick points for fun from distance.
Critically, during their early dominance, two goal chances were spurned.
Donegal hung on (this was no Ali rope-a-dope, their distress was palpable) but gradually steadied on their feet before Ryan McHugh, possibly the smallest man on the pitch, hit Dublin with a haymaker shortly before the half-time bell.
You know the rest … a straight knockout, with the judges' score cards reading 3-14 to 0-17.
In almost five years of SFC combat - embracing 29 matches - that remains the only championship defeat endured by Gavin and his players.
It was traumatic at the time, hugely so. But the harsh lessons absorbed that day have been central to all their subsequent success.
Dublin remain the most attack-minded team in the country, but the earlier incarnation of 2013/14 (at times heedlessly gung-ho) already seems like ancient history.
They have learned to be patient against those familiar banks of opposition defenders, midfielders and nominal forwards clogging up space inside the '45'. How they set about beating the blanket isn't always easy on the eye but they've become very adept at doing so.
At times, they'll even mirror the opposition with a blanket of their own - although, more often than not, the presence of Cian O'Sullivan and Jonny Cooper operating as double-sweepers (as happened last Saturday) can be explained by the relative dearth of opposing forwards.
The way Dublin now play makes it far less likely that they'll be ravaged on the counter as they were by McHugh, Neil Gallagher and Colm McFadden in 2014.
Or the way Armagh were ripped asunder by Tyrone's jet-heeled forays from deep during Saturday's opening quarter-final.
But - and this cannot be stressed strongly enough - the Dubs of 2017 are a different animal to the Dubs of 2014. And they certainly don't warrant the slightest comparison with the Armagh of last Saturday.
The latter - so ebullient and seemingly organised of late - were a mess, their Division 3 shortcomings horribly exposed once they squared up to a heavyweight.
After barely five minutes, they looked like a team that had lost the will to even try and escape Tyrone's defensive web. When they attacked (sporadically) it was as individuals searching out the nearest cul-de-sac. Time and again, even though already chasing a lead of six, seven or eight points, they conceded the short kickout.
And on the few times Niall Morgan deigned to go long with his restarts, Armagh's own defensive cover appeared to evaporate.
We're pretty sure Dublin's defence won't be so glaringly exposed. They are too savvy - and dogged, and aggressive - for that. All of which places a big burden on the pocket rocket shoulders of Mark Bradley, who tends to be the only full-time forward presence for Tyrone (albeit he excelled in the role at the weekend).
But here's a more obvious predicament for Dublin: will they be able to breach that supremely drilled Tyrone rearguard?
They are masters at suffocating space; at ensnaring opponents in a trap of white jerseys; at the collective turnover. This is not about the individual but it's rather a collective effort in which the system is king. And their defensive system, right now, is more refined than Dublin's (we suspect) and Kerry's (most definitely, on recent evidence).
Will Dublin be able to eventually outsmart them? That is a big ask - the biggest challenge Dublin have faced since those gripping semi-final and final contests with Kerry and Mayo last season.
Physically, mentally, tactically and in terms of bench options now returning en masse (Flynn, Macauley, Connolly, take your pick) Dublin look in rude good health.
But are they ready to push on in pursuit of that holy grail hat-trick? It's only now that we'll find out for sure …
The Dubs of 2017 are a different animal to the Dubs of 2014
