How emotionally strong do you feel? Do you need more patience? What about energy, would you like to have more "get up and go"? You can have all of these things and more because Hashem has all of them and is willing to send them to you. Here's how...

It hasn't exactly been a tremendous amount of time since the last instalment of my PTD2 guide; We have previously engaged in a little bartering for an Onix, tried our hand at a little extreme indoor gardening (largely weed-killing) in Bellsprout Tower, and had it out yet again in our rematch with Falkner, who seems to have an aversion to battling inside, which is likely related to his affinity for flying Pokémon. This week, we are quite literally cast into shadows of a more ominous nature as Giovanni returns to cause a little bit more trouble. Evil never has a day off, which luckily keeps the good among us in a job; let's go ahead and take some action that balances out the darkness with a little bit of light, both metaphorically and literally. Tuck into the most recent addition to our Pokémon Tower Defence 2 adventure, courtesy of Sam and Dan's continued hard work and dedication to the best damn Pokémon-based browser game out there.
Mid-Street Meet and Greet
Having completed your rematch with Falkner, your Onix trade and your nonessential-but-beneficial battles with the menacing Bellsprouts in the tower, you must now enter into this week's recently-updated madness by approaching the crew of people loitering in the middle of Violet City, just to the right of the gym which Falkner insists on loitering outside, week after week. Step up to Ash Ketchum to initiate a little back-and-forth in which you are complimented on your fantastic battling skill and your likeness to Ash in general. Further conversation makes it clear that there is trouble afoot, which is punctuated perfectly the arrival of another familiar face: Giovanni comes waltzing in angrily from the left, spouting the usual cynical, evil nonsense about the world being bad and him not seeing the point of being good. Things start to get a little real after this, with Giovanni whipping Mewthree out to incapacitate the rest of the group and also send everyone to the shadow realm, which seems to be a place of excessive anger which causes people to become uncharacteristically bitter and hostile towards each other. Before I drown in all the overwhelming symbolism of evil in general, we should talk tactics for the battle with the Lugia that now appears, offering you a way out of this silly dimension. The price? You must defeat Lugia, and it's not the most straightforward of tasks.
Always one for the obligatory evil mutterings, Giovanni manages to gatecrash a party that had no gate to begin with. It's not even indoors!
Shady Dealings, Shadowy Realm
All this commotion is basically just a garnish on the main meal of the battle which is about to take place as part of this week's update to the game. You've been facing quite the number of airborne Pokémon recently, and this one is most certainly no exception; the only difference is that you are now in a shadow realm. All this effectively means in terms of battle is that someone has gone a little crazy with the dimmer switch and popped the lights all the way off; this battle is just like any other 'boss' battle that you have faced, and should be fought as such.
Your one and only foe is Lugia in this match, and he remains in a stationary position throughout the entire affair. The arena is comprised of Lugia hovering on the left of the screen while the kind lady on the left of the screen will heal your Pokémon if you place them in any of the positions available underneath her.
Might as well be Falkner 3.0
To effectively battle Lugia, you simply have to deploy your Pokemon in the areas around him to commence your attack, whilst being very mindful of the gust attacks which emanate from him towards your current position. Now, Lugia releases two kinds of gusts, the first being a fast-moving tornado which swiftly makes its way to your position; these aren't all that harmful and are akin to less-than-devastating gust attack from any flying Pokémon out there. The second kind of gust moves more slowly but is significantly more devastating because it continues to damage you as it hovers over its target for quite a number of seconds, sapping your health very quickly and being significantly more dangerous for your Pokémon's wellbeing.
Positions, people! Keep your Pokémon stationed around Lugia, moving them to protect them from his attacks and intermittently healing them in any one of the three squares on the left.
It is best to simply employ Falkner tactics here, in that you should simply keep your Pokémon moving when you see a gust coming towards you, whilst attacking Lugia with your strongest Pokémon. One high-level (25-30) Pokémon should suffice if you don't wish to be continually moving them around, though the more Pokémon you have attacking, the faster you will be able to defeat him. You even have the ability to heal up your Pokémon mid-match, so use this at every opportunity and you will find success eternal in your efforts. Proceed with attacking Lugia whilst avoiding the deadly, slower-moving tornados and you can't go wrong. Unless you die, in which case, something has definitely gone awry. Try again with a little more heart and adherence to this guide's recommendations.
Type Tactics
In your first encounter with Lugia, he is at a very tame level 20 and can be dealt with by Pokémon of almost any level providing you move them around enough. Of course, Pokémon of the electric variety are going to be most effective here, and much like in the Falkner battle, having picked up a Shiny Shinx in the weekly mystery gift giveaway puts you at a significant advantage due to the type matchups involved. Because Lugia is a Psychic/Flying type, bug-type moves are also extremely effective here. Rock-type Pokémon and/or moves are extremely effective against flying types, so this could be the perfect opportunity to make use of the Onix you recently traded and ensure he learns the 'Rock Throw' move. A Geodude can be equally as effective, particularly with 'Defense Curl', which can harden you up and prevent you from taking significant damage in the battle, while 'Rock Throw' wears Lugia's health down in no insignificant way.
Can I get a rewind?
Quite like most of the battles in Pokémon Tower Defence 2, you are able to repeatedly enter into the Lugia battle even after you have successfully prevailed in your initial encounter with him. Talking to the bearded gentleman at the southernmost end of the loitering collective will initiate a repeat of the battle, only this time Lugia will be at level 30 to give you even more of a challenge.
Happy Endings
This concludes the Pokémon encounters for this week, which in this case is relatively short but infinitely sweet. I'm sure that everyone will be on the middle-to-edge area of their seat until the next update. Stay tuned: there will always be more.

Euro 2016 is morphing into a wonderfully intriguing tournament as we near its pointy end.
Growing to 24 teams from 16 has been an excellent improvement. The matches have been competitive since the underdogs have proven they belong. There haven't been the occasional blowouts as seen in the Copa America Centenario, which is also an expanded tournament this year.
Unlike the Copa, which saw Chile and Argentina quickly become favourites to reach the final as the knockout stages began, the Euros have been more competitive. The average margin of victory in reaching the final was an astounding 3.5 goals per game for Argentina and 4.5 for Chile in the knockout stages. Big Round of 16 winners Belgium and Germany likely won't match those figures.
The "minnows" of Euro 2016 have more than held their own. Had Euro 2016 not grown to 24 teams, teams like Iceland, Hungary, and Albania would not have made it. (Note that Northern Ireland won its qualification group and would have made it to France under the old 16-team format; Wales would likely have been in a playoff against another country.) The lowest-ranked team at the Euros—Albania (No. 42) with a population of 2.8 million—made history with a win over Romania and finished third in its group.
But Iceland continues to be the biggest story of the Euros after knocking off England 2–1 in Nice on Wednesday. It was no fluke either.
The country of roughly 330,000 faces its toughest test on Sunday against host nation France, a pre-tournament favourite flying under the radar. Could Iceland be a repeat of Greece at Euro 2004?
The tiny nation has been most efficient at converting on scoring attempts. It leads Euro 2016 by scoring on 21 percent of its chances. And Iceland's possession, which ranks lowest among the 16 teams reaching the knockout stages, reminds one of a certain English Premier League champion Leicester City.
Also, the favourites are now hitting their stride with the exquisite attacking forces of Germany and Belgium, and the resolute defense of Italy. However, Germany is the only team to have not conceded a goal.
While goals excite fans more than anything else in football, one has to appreciate the ability for a team to execute its game plan to perfection and get the win. Case in point—Italy and Iceland.
The Italians shocked No. 2-ranked Belgium 2–0 in their opening game and sent defending European champion Spain packing 2–0 in a masterful Round of 16 performance.
Iceland's win was a similar case of a team believing in its system, in the strength and togetherness of its team, and pulling off a stunning upset.
Italy and Iceland never really looked threatened. They got their leads, absorbed pressure, and looked the team more likely to score, via the counterattack.
Not Just About Goals
Yes, the Euros haven't seen the goals like the Copa has. The Copa averaged 5.75 goals per game in the group stage whereas Euro 2016 averaged 1.9. As one might expect, that difference narrowed in the knockout rounds with the Copa edging it 2.75 to 2.375.
That goal scoring differential can be somewhat attributed to the odd Copa blowout. Using FIFA rankings as a broad indication of a nation's quality, there is a greater disparity in the rankings of teams in the Copa than in Euro 2016. The Euros are more competitive.
Euro 2016 had roughly the same amount of shot attempts and shots on target as the Copa did in the group stage. It had more of both in its eight Round of 16 games than the Copa saw in its eight knockout stage games.
That may sound counterintuitive with some absolute dud games like Croatia–Portugal and Wales–Northern Ireland, while Copa games appeared to be played at a more frenetic pace.
Heating Up
While the Euro 2016 competition is very tight, it has lacked a match like the Copa America final between Argentina and Chile—a true rivalry match played at the highest level with the incredible intensity. Argentina, the top-ranked team in the world, and Chile at No. 5 went at each other like two heavyweights. There was no holding back.
South American teams face each other more frequently than European ones do and that spices up the encounters even more. The Germany–Italy quarterfinal has that kind of potential.
Euro 2016 got off to a sluggish start, but it's definitely heating up. Goals and scoring chances are up in the Round of 16 from the group stage. The intensity should also pick up, as the teams get closer to the prize, just as it did at the Copa America.

Brunswick Superintendent Paul Perzanoski got off a couple of good lines in his Aug. 17 letter welcoming teachers back to school.
You could almost hear the irony dripping off the page when he wrote about "our illustrious governor" or made reference to the new anti-bullying law that "failed to include the Blaine House."
Perzanoski was just letting his teachers know that he supported them in what many observers feel is a relentless attack on public education by a reform movement that is more interested in tearing down schools than improving them.
We don't disagree with what Perzanoski had to say and admire his way of saying it. But he picked the wrong forum to do it and he owes the governor and the people of his district an apology.
We look to public officials to give us their best judgment about the policies they carry out and to let us know when the policies are not working. We expect them to be honest and speak out when there is a problem. We pay attention when they have something to say.
But it is totally inappropriate for a public employee acting in his official capacity to get involved in politics, and a personal attack on an elected official is a political act. Calling the governor a bully, as Perzanoski did, or implying that he's not intelligent — "I think we should challenge (LePage) to take the SAT and make the results public" — is another way of telling people how to vote. As a private citizen, Perzanoski has a right to express his opinion, but he should not do it when he is supervising employees and acting on behalf of the taxpayers.
What confuses this situation is that Perzanoski is responding to a governor who makes even worse attacks, often without a factual basis. The governor exaggerated and invented problems with the state's schools in an effort to promote his policy initiative. It's easy to understand why educators might be angry.
But if we let Gov. LePage set the bar for political discourse in this state, it will be set too low. People who disagree with each other should still be able to work together to solve problems. Otherwise, we will have exciting arguments that produce nothing.
School is starting and Perzanoski has a chance to teach Brunswick students a valuable lesson. He should apologize and show them that government is not mud wrestling.

You want an outstanding website. Does that mean you need to invest in pricey software packages, and use complex templates? Your dependence on new, expensive technology will decrease as you learn more about the mechanics of website design. Those who are not dedicated and hardworking will probably be forced to bring in a third-party to help them complete their project. However, if you take the time to learn a little about website creation, it is possible to make one without spending a lot of extra cash.
Does your site pass the NoScript test? Download the NoScript extension in Firefox and test it on your site to see if it is still readable. There will be content that needs scripting like order systems. However, if the site is blank when the scripts are off, you have a problem.
As you construct your site, be conscious of the colors you use together. You should be striving to achieve easily readable and visible text set against your chosen background shade. Dark text colors on lighter backgrounds tend to be easier on the eyes than light colors on dark backgrounds. Soliciting feedback from a friend can help you determine how effective your color scheme is if you develop doubts about it.
Do not use frames; that is old school. Back then, they were the height of technology, but technology has moved on. For example, it is difficult to scroll with frames. It is simple to design your page so visitors can navigate through it.
Minimize your page sizes. Not everyone who uses the Internet enjoys speedy connections, so they are likely to lose interest if your site takes a long time to load. If your viewers are sitting waiting for the site to load, they may just go elsewhere to find what they need.
Be sure you have a search tool that lets others search when on your site. If visitors to your website are searching for something in particular, they will immediately look for the search box. Without this tool, the visitor might leave and go searching on another website. Always put the box somewhere near the right page's top because people will look for it there.
Make your website easy to scan. Most visitors do not have a lot of time to spend, so they scan to see what they want to read. Break text into small, easy to scan sections to help readers quickly find the information they are looking for. You should put the important stuff on top. This will satisfy your visitors and have them coming back for more.
You don't ever want to use too much graphics. You want the site to look professional and well-designed instead of cluttered. Graphics should enhance what you have to say on your site. They shouldn't be put there to just look pretty. Using an adequate amount of graphics keeps clutter away and helps you focus on site usability.
You always want to have a maximum page load time of ten seconds. Efficient sites that are well-designed need to show up in the browser for your readers in just moments. Most Internet users are looking for instant returns, and it would behoove you to make that happen.
Always look for broken links prior to publishing pages on the web. Visitors become frustrated easily when they click a link and find that it leads to the wrong place. If you have very few links, you can check them manually. If many links, try using a link-checking program that can do the work for you quickly.
Make sure that each different subject area in your content is seperated. Have an individual page for each different point. This helps alleviate any confusion that your customers may experience, as well as giving search engines a broader and more clear view of your site, potentially bumping you up higher in their rankings.
Don't use frames. The information in the frames won't show in search engines. If there is important information that you want the search engines to see on your website, never put it within a frame. When you don't have a high ranking, then your visitor count will be lower.
Be sure your introductory page is clean and simple. People judge a site and whether they want to go further by what the initial webpage looks like. Provide a good description of your business and its function. Minimize other information. This will reduce distractions.
Don't accidentally place links on your site that lead to nowhere. Links with content should be visible enough to show the viewer what they're clicking. If there are links on your page without text content, they could accidentally click the link through a keyboard shortcut.
You must always include the capability to search if you are working on a large website. The upper right of the main page should have a search box for users to search your whole site. You can use Google search or FreeFind, as they both give you access to an engine which is free and simple to use.
Explore your website with different browsers and computer systems. Each web browser interprets websites slightly differently, and in some cases these differences can have drastic effects on the user experience. You can easily discern which browsers are used frequently. Check your website on every one one of these browsers, and do not forget mobile web browsers that have become popular.
Don't use frames if you want to optimize your website. Information within frames cannot be read by search engines. You will lose viewers if they can't find your site because a search engine fails to find what they searched for on your page. If that happens, you will not get as many visitors.
Make your fonts professional and readable. The most well-designed sites use professional-looking fonts. Do not employ exotic fonts that will be absent from many visitors' computers or over-used fonts such as Comic Sans. Unusual fonts can be classified as subsets on a viewer's screen. When the font defaults it can tend to make your webpage look much worse than it really is.
Alt Tags
Be sure to always look at the links on your site, and make sure none are broken. The right time to make this check is well before you upload a page and take it live. Links that lead to the wrong place or nowhere at all are frustrating and visitors will soon lose interest in your site and stop visiting it. The prevent this from happening to your site, check links frequently.
Use ALT tags for your images when designing your site. These tags make it easy for those with disabled graphics and offer descriptions for those who are impaired visually and make use of translation tools for images. In addition, ALT tags allow you to describe how a link behaves if you utilize your images as links. ALT tags are the only way your images are going to help you with your search engine rankings.
A basic layout is best for your website, this way you can get a handle on the basics of web design initially. Starting with simple designs allows you to acquire basic skills before you can improve and work on more advanced projects.
While making your website, remember that you don't need to use all the available space. By overusing the space available on your webpage, you can cause your site to appear cluttered and confusing for your visitors. Those visiting your site will actually be relieved by having extra space and not feeling overwhelming. There are many situations in which empty space makes a major impact.
Meet with a professional web designer and learn how they do things. The easiest way to improve is to learn from someone who already knows the trade. When you consult with a pro, chances are that you'll be one someday.
Even if you invest large amounts of money in your website, it's not a good idea to host a site yourself. You should do the design all by yourself (or as much of it as you possibly can), but allowing another person to be the keeper of your site will let you be free and will allow you to have your mind on different things and not just the site's security and safety.
Don't assume that the design process has wrapped up just because the site is live. Keeping on top of your website will help you to ensure it's always current. While you don't need to do something all the time, it will need to be updated on a regular basis. If you advertise events or limited offers, make sure this type of content is up to date. Remember, website updating is much different than blog updating. This task requires effort.
When you first begin designing a web page you should choose a design layout that's as simple as possible. This allows you to build your skills slowly and avoid problems you might encounter with more complicated features. This basic design will help you grasp the easy stuff, which will prepare you to tackle more advanced web design principles in time.
A visual sitemap should be made so that you are able organize your next steps in an effective manner. With a visual sitemap, you will see exactly how your structure is developing. This will help you locate any area on your website that needs to be improved, as well as areas of neglect. You cannot discount having a clear image of your end product.
The use of tests concerning task based usability is good for your site. These tasks involve finding information on your website. If you have a great site, it will not take a long time. Then again, if not, it can provide insight in regards to which site aspects need improvement.
If you find yourself needing to create many similar pages in a subsection of your site, use one of those pages as a template. Instead of writing your HTML from scratch every time, use the shared section of code as a template and make the necessary changes, then use "save as" to save the file under a new name. The index page can be worked off of ad infinitum.
Open Source
Having some unused space within your site is an excellent design feature. Do not fall under the illusion that your site should be completely filled with information. This available white space can make reading your site easier. This will prompt your visitors to read more, stay longer and seek you out in the future.
Remember that it does not need to be costly to design a website. Every expensive tool has an affordable counterpart that works just as well. There are open source options for software that can function just as well as the retail counterparts. Clearly, use of open source software is a real money saver!
An excellent way to find out how appealing your website is, is to look at the site's statistics each time the site is updated. You will be able to tell who is visiting your site and which pages they're spending the most time on. It will help you formulate a plan for gleaning repeat traffic.
When you post something on your website, remember "high and far-left." Left-to-right is a natural orientation because it is how we read. Placing items up high and far to the left will cause them to be seen first.
To get creative, try looking around you for unusual layouts. You can also get ideas from other sources such as magazines and TV. You want to always be on the lookout for new inspiration because you may just stumble across something that will help your site become very popular with your visitors.
With all of the major advances on the web recently, it's a must to keep up on web design. The days of word of mouth and print marketing are gone, and a successful company depends on their website to identify who they are. If you understand this, you understand how web page design is turning profits for many people.
If there is a logo placed on your site, that logo needs to link back to your homepage if someone clicks on it. Just about everyone expects to be able to click on the company logo to be redirected to the home page. Imagine your reader's frustration as they click away with nothing happening! They might think it's broken, and that your site isn't as good as they thought. A logo that is clickable makes your site simpler to navigate.
Designing a website is easier than most things in life. You don't need school, and somebody else's life isn't dependent upon it. As long as you can follow the tips you have learned above, you can design a great website today.
Get some feedback on the web design that you create. You may think something looks great, but another person may find the feature annoying. Get members to test all areas of your site from your target market.

By Joseph E. Stiglitz
A forceful argument opposed to America's vicious circle of growing to be inequality via the Nobel Prize–winning economist.
the US presently has the main inequality, and the least equality of chance, one of the complex international locations. whereas marketplace forces play a task during this stark photograph, politics has formed these industry forces. during this best-selling ebook, Nobel Prize–winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz exposes the efforts of well-heeled pursuits to compound their wealth in ways in which have stifled precise, dynamic capitalism. alongside the best way he examines the impression of inequality on our financial system, our democracy, and our approach of justice. Stiglitz explains how inequality impacts and is suffering from each element of nationwide coverage, and with attribute perception he bargains a imaginative and prescient for a extra simply and filthy rich destiny, supported via a concrete software to accomplish that vision.

It's a sad day when the word sophisticated is used in the same sentence as Justin Bieber. Given the source, I am not too surprised. The authors of this site have shown themselves to have the intellectual capacity of a gold fish and the social tendencies of a 14 year old girl. Pretty sad, since I assume, they are grown adults. Perhaps if they read a book or pursed an education beyond "sucking the air" out of some twink's "fart box," they might have some modicum of credibility.ReplyDelete

You wait ages for a bus, and then two come along at once
Of late BicycleBusiness has been published in the last week of the month but has been dated for that particular month. However, in line with consumer magazines which come out a month ahead of themselves, BicycleBusiness will now revert to a more 'normal' publishing schedule.
There will be no 'July' issue. There will still be 12 issues published this year.
The August edition contains a mammoth central article celebrating grass roots workers who expand the market for cycling. The September magazine features an indepth look at Evans Cycles and its new Gatwick HQ and distribution centre. The BikeBiz editor flew into Gatwick last week and was impressed by what he saw: "I had to pinch myself to remember that this was a bike retailer, not a supplier. The Evans distribution centre is bigger and better than many supplier HQ's I've been to."

Holy Sepulchre cemetery updates
As some of you may have noticed, the water at the cemetery is not working. We apologize for the inconvenience and it will be resolved shortly. Last week the Stoughton Water Department confirmed that there were several major leaks in our underground water system. To avoid any devastating damage to any of the gravesites, we had to turn the entire water system off.
We have been working with the Catholic Cemetery Association of Boston (which manages our cemetery) on several projects over this past year, one of which was our issue with the water faucets. The Catholic Cemetery Association is in the process of transitioning all of the Catholic Cemeteries to having watering stations to replace all of the antiquated underground water systems. The cost to replace the entire underground water system is not economically feasible for the cemetery or for the Parish. The construction of piping in our new watering station will begin shortly which will allow us to turn the water back on. The cemetery crew will be bringing in outside water for the time being for the maintenance of the new and existing graves.
The installation of the second Holy Sepulchre Cemetery sign will also begin shortly. It is identical to the existing sign you see above and will be installed in the front of the cemetery by Central Street to the left of the existing sign. The area around the sign will be landscaped after installation. A larger plan for more extensive work on the beautification of the cemetery is still underway and we hope to have more details for you soon.
New cemetery regulation signs will be going up at both sides of the cemetery to replace the old white regulation signs by the cemetery maintenance shed. There will be some changes in the cemetery regulations to assist us in our ongoing efforts to improve the appearance and sanctity of our cemetery as consecrated sacred land. The new regulations will be announced in the near future on our website and mailed directly to deed owners.
Finally, we unfortunately are still struggling with the illegal dumping at the cemetery. People continue to leave mattresses, televisions, refrigerators, and other large miscellaneous furniture and waste in our beloved cemetery. As you can imagine, the cost of cleaning up these items is a financial burden on the cemetery. The funds spent on cleaning up the illegal dumping could be used on other much needed maintenance upgrades. We encourage you to speak up if you see someone taking advantage of our cemetery in this disgraceful way. The Town of Stoughton does provide disposal of large household items to all residents. If you see or hear of someone who has been illegally dumping please remind them that the town does provide another option. Security cameras to help resolve this ongoing issue are part of our larger project that we will be presenting to you soon.
We will continue to update you with the ongoing projects at the cemetery through the bulletin and the website.
If you have any questions please contact Jennifer Jones in the Parish Business Office.

The map includes both social media and mainstream media outlets. The sites are divided into four different categories, or communities (manually labelled):
• Conservative
• Independent
• Mass Media
• Progressive
In terms of methodology, we initiated the process by focusing on a set of a few hundred websites and blogs well-recognized by search engines and other sites related to US politics. Then, we collected the URLs of all sites located just one click away from our initial set – which amounted to tens of thousands of websites.
Why was this step important? Because when it comes to networks – and the web is one giant network – there's a rule that says that what's similar to a given node in terms of content will stand close to this node in terms of location. Working with a set of websites large enough, one can collect all the other important websites dealing with the same topics using the "one click removed" idea.
Thanks to a series of metrics, both topology-related (i.e. how many sites link to a particular site) and semantics-related (i.e. are the words used of political nature), we were able to single out over 2,000 websites that constitute the core of the US political webosphere. From these, we extracted the most link-relevant 297 sites.
Here's another view:
Cool, huh?

Besides the number of entries, it was a pleasure seeing the quality of all the submitted minis!! There were some really beauties in there and I'd love to see any of them flying over my game table.
Now with out further ado, the winners:
1st Place
Grumman Mk III Martlet, Royal Navy 805 sqn
2nd Place
Kittyhawk Mk I of 112 Squadron RAF, Libya, February 1942. Pilot unknown

Over Valentine's Day weekend, we hosted Style-Wire for a romantic staycation. Her review of our hotel shows just how much fun she had while staying with us, and her photos are certainly worth sharing.
Following are a few excepts from the review:
The Godfrey is super tech friendly with complimentary wi-fi, smart TVs (log into your Netflix account and chill!), and rechargeable Bluetooth speakers in every room. Obviously once my Valentine arrived we did what any other couple would do and binge watched Nurse Jackie on Netflix and ordered late night pizza from New York Pizza while munching on chocolate and sipping champagne. Perfect evening if you ask me!
We love Elissa's recap of her overnight stay, which you can read entirety here, but we're head over heels in love with the photos she shared. The photos capture her love for travel as she took advantage of our in-room amenities. We've shared some of our favorites above, but you can check out the rest on our Facebook page or in Elissa's post.
We love hearing about our guests' stays and we look forward to hosting you in the future.

What is so exciting about Roslyn?
I had someone ask me recently why I am so excited about Roslyn. It is a fair question because while Roslyn is an amazing technology, all of the benefits are not immediately obvious.
What is it
If you are not familiar, Roslyn is the code name for Microsoft's next generation .NET compilers. But more than that it is a library that exposes the compiler's internal data structures and a framework that enables customization of the compilation process. This is a radical departure from the current C# and VB compilers, and the vast majority of all compilers. Most compilers are black boxes. Code goes in one side and an executable comes out the other side. At a conceptual level, a user might know what is happening under the hood, but there is no access to the inner workings.
Roslyn changes that. Roslyn give you the ability to take a source file as input, but get access to the syntax tree once it has been parsed. It gives you the ability to view the semantic information about a syntax node once it has been generated. Having analyzed the source, you have the ability to alter the IL before it is generated.
So What
But the question remains. So what. Why is this so exciting? With direct access to the syntax tree and its semantic information, we can pro grammatically understand our code easier than ever before. As programmers, our code is our poetry. It is the blueprint for our designs. It is how we communicate with the machine. It is one way that communicate with other programmers.
One of the great things about unit tests is that they allow us to test our code with code. In a similar way, Roslyn allows us to understand and analyze our code with code. That is very powerful.
None of the functionality come out of the box, you have to write it. Conveniently, you are very good at writing software. So you have to find an itch and then scratch it with Roslyn. You can create tools to make the development process easier. If you share those tools, it benefits our entire community. Creating tools is fundamentally what we do. With Roslyn, we can create tools for ourselves.
Even if you don't use Roslyn to create tools, you will benefit from it. Roslyn will enable Microsoft to more easily make improvements both to the C# and VB languages and to the Visual Studio experience. Commercial tools also have access to Roslyn, which will allow then to create more and better tools. And it will allow them to do it faster.
As an example of what you code do, Joe Hummel did a great presentation at the Chicago Code Camp where he created a Visual Studio extension that would generate a compiler warning if there was code that had an empty catch block. It could have been easily altered to generate a compiler error. It also had the ability to suggest a code fix. So if you had an empty catch block, you would get a tool tip that add a throw to the catch block for you.
In the Object Oriented Design class I taught this semester, I had my students use Roslyn to look at C# source files and gather the number of statements and max nesting depth of each method. Using this information they could suggest which methods in the file were too complex and in need of refactoring.
That example highlights one of those inception moments Roslyn enables. The code can analyze itself. The rabbit hole gets deeper when you realize that Roslyn can compile itself.
So let's get back to the original question, why I am so excited about Roslyn? I am excited about the tools you and I are going to build with it.

Can cosmetic surgery be done under just local?
Patients sometimes ask me this question, and the short answer is 'yes, sometimes.' Most minor plastic surgery procedures can be performed under local. The most common procedures performed at Austin-Weston are breast augmentations, liposuction, and facelifts, and 99% of those procedures are not performed under local anesthesia, as they are not minor operations. Our surgeons feel they can do a better job if the patient is asleep and comfortable.
There are some doctors that offer lots of plastic surgery under local. Patients need to realize first why the doctor is offering local, and second that the procedure one doctor is offering under local is probably not the same procedure another doctor is offering under general anesthesia.
To the first point, it is important to make sure your doctor is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This is because this highest level of certification means the surgeon is safe to do surgery both under local and general anesthesia. Some doctors offer surgery only under local anesthesia because they have had hospital privileges revoked or are not licensed to perform surgery under general anesthesia. This is extremely important as your safety could be at risk.
An example to illustrate the second point is liposuction. Technically, liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia. Your surgeon injects numbing fluid, and once the numbing is working, the surgeon begins to remove fat using liposuction. The problem is that liposuction can hurt. And the more fat removed, the more it can hurt. So liposuction under local means you can only remove a small volume of fat, which means the patient only gets a small improvement. So if a patient is looking for a complete liposuction result, one that is the best plastic surgery result, then they would be best served by having general anesthesia and going completely to sleep.
The problem for patients is there is lots of misinformation in the world, and it can be so tempting to go with the cheaper option and not go to sleep for the surgery, but you may well find out the surgery is not done completely when done under local anesthesia, and the result can reflect that.
At Austin-Weston, the procedures we most often perform under local include small areas of liposuction, trimming excess skin after body contouring, or minor eyelid or facial operations. Our most popular operations and usually performed under general anesthesia because we are committed to results. General anesthesia is safe when performed in an accredited facility and by licensed practitioners, and this is why we staff a fully-accredited facility with 5 operating rooms.

The Schiff-base ligand derived from salicylaldehyde and γ-hydroxybutanoic acid hydrazide (H2Salhyhb) reacts with potassium metavanadate and hydrogen peroxide in a water/methanol solution with a pH value of around two to yield the corresponding vanadium(V) oxoperoxo complex [VO(O2)HSalhyhb(H2O)] (1). Complex 1 crystallizes with one molecule of water as 1·H2O in the monoclinic space group P21/n. For the vanadium atom a pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry is observed, with a side-on bonded peroxo ligand in the equatorial plane. The hydroxy side chain of the hydrazide ligand is involved in a hydrogen-bond network with the peroxo ligand at the vanadium atom. This network shows some similarities with the hydrogen-bonding scheme found for the peroxo form of vanadium haloperoxidases. The stoichiometric reaction of 1 with 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (TMB) in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide leads to the formation of 1-bromo-2,4,6-trimethoxybenzene (Br-TMB), thus mimicking the oxidative halogenation function of the native enzyme. Complex 1 is also capable of oxidizing triphenylphosphane and methylphenylsulfane, yielding a cis-dioxovanadium(V) complex and the corresponding phosphane or sulfane oxide, respectively.

First edition cover of Davy and the Goblin
|Charles E. Carryl
|United States
|Fantasy novel
|Houghton Mifflin
Publication date
|Media type
|Print (Hardback)
Davy and the Goblin, or, What Followed Reading "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a novel by Charles E. Carryl that was serialized in St. Nicholas magazine from December 1884 to March 1885 before being published by Houghton Mifflin of Boston and Frederick Warne of London in 1885. It was one of the first "imitations" inspired by Lewis Carroll's two books, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.
The story is about eight-year-old Davy who reads Lewis Carroll's classic novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland next to the fireplace, when he begins to get sleepy. A Goblin appears in the fire, munching coals, and takes Davy on a "believing voyage" where he meets a variety of characters from fantasy and literature.
The book features line drawings by Edmund Birckhead Bensell.
As evidenced by the digitization of it by the Internet Archive, the New York Public Library has an 1885 copy of the book published by Ticknor & Co., inscribed by the author and apparently given to his twelve‐year‐old son: "To my dear little Son Guy / New York October 31st 1885 / Chas. E. Carryl." (The son later died in 1904 before the father did.)
In 1891, Carryl wrote another book inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, called The Admiral's Caravan.

It's a Sign: Autografix's Success With The SmartShop II CNC Router
- October 31, 2015
- 0 Comment(s)
John Miller wasn't thinking about automotive graphics when he founded Signs by Autografix signsbyautografix.com, the full-service sign company he runs with his wife Heidi in Branford, CT. Instead, John picked the name to convey the idea of the "automatic graphic design" and added "Signs by" as a clarification. It should be no surprised that the firm is literally making a name for itself and its clients by building attractive and unique signage – with the help of a Laguna Tools SmartShop II CNC router and automatic tool changer.
John turned to the SmartShop II after making the decision to expand the in-house capabilities of his shop. "Like a lot of sign shops, we started with a bandsaw and a table saw," he said. "Later we would create a computer file, drop it off for someone else to produce and then pick it up when it was complete. So I knew what a CNC machine could do for Autografix. I also wanted the greater precision and productivity that comes from being CNC equipped.
"Once I had made my decision to add a CNC machine, I did what everyone does," recalled Miller. "I headed straight for the Internet and started researching them. There were a number of options, of course, including several from Laguna Tools. I knew I was looking for a unit that was ruggedly built and adaptable to everything I needed it to do. But what made up my mind was learning that the SmartShop II CNC 5'x10′ router cost about a third less than the other makes I was considering. The money I saved also allowed me to add the automatic tool changer and a 3HP Mobile Cyclone dust collector.
"That could be the end of my Laguna tools story," says Miller. "Except I knew nothing about CNC machinery. But Laguna Tools helped me get up to speed and into production with my new machine faster than I could have hoped.
"That doesn't mean I didn't have questions though," continued Miller. "I did and I had lots of them. That's when I learned just how seriously Laguna Tools takes customer service. I called one day for advice, and Javier Bonilla, a CNC technician at Laguna Tools, answered all of my questions. Later that same day, CNC Product Manager 'Router Bob' Alsup also called me to see if I had any follow-up questions. That was enough for me to find Laguna Tool's customer service impressive. But when I received yet another call, this time from Steve Alvarez, the director of sales for Laguna Tools' CNC division, I knew I had not only bought the right machine, but bought it from the right company. The attention they show their customers is second to none."
"I knew I had not only bought the right machine, but bought it from the right company. The attention they show their customers is second to none."
When asked how he's using his SmartShop II, Miller explained, "We do a lot of carved signs with individually cut-out letters. We used to buy these letters from a wholesaler and then take on the time-consuming job of sanding and finishing them ourselves. We also create detail pieces such as corbels (a triangular trim piece) for architects. Before we had CNC capability, we would design every letter in a sign individually with a T-square and then turn to our band and table saws. On a good day the entire job would take two or three hours and everything lined up, including pilot and mounting holes. Of course, not every day was a good one. Now if we're doing a sign such as a tenant directory with a carved top section, even one with a dozen panels, we know every letter will be the exact same size and the holes that are used for mounting will be in perfect alignment. The work the SmartShop II produces is a lot like a model kit. Every piece fits together to create a perfect finished job.
"That's a time-saver by itself," continued Miller. "The SmartShop II not only saves us hours of time, but also gives us not only design lettering with a computer but also create a layout for installation at the same time. The SmartShop router not only saves us hours of time, but gives us a job that simply can't be improved. Everything lines up perfectly, and every panel in the sign is completely interchangeable. That's a big advantage to a building owner if a tenant moves to another office or floor. It's also a big advantage to us, because there's much less prep work.
"The SmartShop II has also opened up new areas of business for us," said Miller. "We do CNC work for other sign companies, specialized projects for building contractors and custom window moldings for a nearby lumber yard."
When asked if he has any advice for potential Smart -Shop II buyers, Miller was quick to reply. "I would recommend investing in the automatic tool changer immediately," he said. "In its first year of operation, it paid for itself by giving us back the time it used to take to change bits or other tools. The SmartShop II is great by itself," added Miller. "But the automatic tool changer makes it a much more powerful unit."

A former woman soldier killed herself after a fight against depression, an inquest heard.
Coroner John Gittins recorded a conclusion of suicide on 35-year-old Kate Fell-Crook who was found hanging in her home at Glan y Gors, Prestatyn, in December 2015.
The mother-of-one had been discharged from the Hergest psychiatric unit at Bangor less than three months earlier, after eight days, following a plea to an appeal tribunal. Her family had been critical about this, feeling that had she been detained for longer there might have been a different outcome, the inquest at Ruthin heard.
Her father Brian Fell-Crook said in evidence that Kate had joined the army when she was 17 but was discharged in 2012 because of health problems. In 2006 she had suffered from depression but the army, in which she served in clerical posts in Northern Ireland, Chester, Portsmouth and Tidworth, had arranged counselling.
"In the last six months we had noticed a difference in her mental state," he told the inquest.
Mental health workers described how in the last months of her life she had mentioned suicide but always stated that her young daughter was the factor which prevented it.
She was visited every two days at home by mental health workers. But when no reply was received for one appointment police had been told because of worries about her welfare. When they broke in next day her body was on the stairs.
The coroner heard that, although she hadn't left a note, Kate had locked the doors and ensured there was food for her dog, which was in a cage.
A pathologist found she had three times the driving limit for alcohol in her blood and also therapeutic drugs of a potential fatal range.
The hearing was told there had been an IPCC inquiry into the police response.
Sympathising with the family, Mr Gittins said : "She was a fine woman."

Getting The Best Out Of Your Windows
The beauty of a home is defined by the amount of brightness and space inside the rooms; both of these factors depend on the window of the house. A spacious window with proper glazing can make the house look spacious and lively. In any house, be it modern or traditional, the proper glazing window redefines the style and elegance of the home.
One of the smartest choices in enhancing the look of your home is by double glazed window installation. It is a popular choice and makes your rooms look more spacious, keeping it free from noise, dust and weather changes. This energy efficient windows are easy to install and do not take much time in installation. You can install them in your new house during the construction phase; as well you can fit them in your present home with the ease of installation. They are the ideal choice for an energy efficient home.
During double glazed window installation it is ensured that there is a minimum spacing of 12 mm to ensure optimum level of thermal insulation. Proper insulation ensures effective blocking of external noises however too much gapping is not good for domestic windows; further spacing is required mainly in aircrafts. As the space between the panes is sealed, so the space becomes air tight. This would be left empty with natural air, which gets stored automatically while constructing the window system, or is filled with inert gas. The popular choice for the gas to fill this space is argon. However during the construction phase of double glazed windows, it is extremely crucial that proper frame is selected.
These double glazed windows comprise of glass units, which are made up of insulated glass panel and fit multiple number of glass panel to form a single window unit. Nowadays, double planes of glass are often replaced by another piece of glass pane to save more energy inside the house. More the number of panels better is the energy efficiency. There is a spacer of equal measurement between the glass panels, so that a thin layer of gas or air gets trapped between these empty spaces. When they are properly spaced, these glass panes are fitted into frames to give the perfect finish of a double glazed window.
Aluminum, UPVC and steel frames are often chosen due to their good conducting capacity. Although aluminum frames would not be able to enhance or reduce the thermal property of the windows but it would act as good conductor to trap the heat and keeping the room warm. There are beautiful shades available to give the perfect texture to your window. They would look fantastic and elegant at the same time, with the proper selection of the color and the material.

"555 Special" Light Space & Time is an online art gallery with monthly themed competitions and exhibitions for new and emerging artists on a worldwide basis. The gallery's June 2018 exhibit was a "555 Special" competition, meaning artists could submit 5 images and the gallery selected 5 overall winning artists. There were over 1500 entries from 40 countries of 2D and 3D submissions in abstract and representational form of various media. Though I wasn't in the top 5, I'm happy that one of my images, "Dogwood Days of Spring", received Special Recognition.
The Healing Power of Art & Artists The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS is a community of artists, writers and activists who share the belief that art has the power to heal, inspire, provoke, challenge and offer hope. "Art serves as a positive catalyst for healing individuals, society and the environment." In celebration of their third anniversary, they invited artists and organizations from around the world to submit art and statements about how art has the power to heal. I'm happy that my image "Moments & Movements" was selected to be part of this anniversary set.

The gallery's April 2018 exhibit is their 8th annual "Figurative" theme, calling for 2D and 3D submissions in abstract or representational form of various media. The gallery received 626 entries from 27 different countries, and I'm thrilled that two of my images were accepted in the Photography & Digital group: "Brooklyn Beauty" as Special Recognition Category and "Window Woman" as Special Merit Category. They have YouTube videos showcasing the Special Recognition and Special Merit awarded works (mine are at minute 3:36 and 13:45, respectively). Exhibits and videos are also archived.
Home Don't Smile is an online photography gallery with a simple aim: "to carve out a space of the Internet exclusively dedicated for showcasing exceptional photography by women, both established and emerging. The world still seems to be struggling to make space for women in museums, galleries, and print. Don't Smile aims to aid in the shift to a more inclusive industry that celebrates extraordinary photographic work by women from all walks of life and backgrounds." The current exhibit is about the concept of home, spanning anywhere from the feeling of home, domesticity, quotidian life, to anything pertaining to home. I'm happy that my image "Yin Yang" was selected and will also be included in the "Don't Smile: Year Two" zine, available for purchase here.
Shift Light Leaked is a bi-monthly online photography magazine that creates community and dialogue. For this current issue, a collection of photos entitled Shift, jurors were seeking entries that "evoke conversation or trigger change, ranging from an individual to legislative level." Photography has been a tool for change since the early days of the medium. Shift emphasizes how photography is being made now to examine issues in a myriad of approaches. I am one of 40 photographers invited to be part of this set.

August 29 - September 29, 2018
The Gallery Space, 1670 Irving Street, Rahway, NJ 07065
This group show on abstract photography in large format focuses on the essence of a subject. Unique points of view with the elimination of non-essential elements revealing just the pure and simple meaning of a subject, or manipulation of an original image in some way to create a final abstraction is presented. The images are non-representational, where the original subject is obscured in some way to render almost unrecognizable, with emphasis on overall design, line, color, texture, and use of light and form so viewers can confront the subject in new and revealing ways. Two of my works were selected for this show!

March 18 - April 26, 2018
Hamilton Street Gallery, 6 Hamilton Street, Bound Brook, NJ 08805
Joan Sonnenfeld and Brian McCormack, owners of the Hamilton Street Gallery, always have unique exhibit themes. From their new prospectus: "Existentially these are challenging times for free thinkers. We are continually bombarded with information designed to influence our every thought, feeling, and action. With perfect algorithmic efficiency, a trepidatious flow of tweets, alternative facts and fake news exudes an overwhelming sense of disturbing uneasiness. The lines between relevancy and irrelevancy, understanding and confusion, sense and nonsense disappear, as does trust, leaving us in a state of starvation for the truth. Fortunately for artists, our right to free speech is still intact, so we can seek out the truth and DIG DEEPER." For this juried exhibition, artists of all media were asked to define the idea of digging in any way, shape, or form, including exploration, research and analysis, investigation, excavation (as in mining, fracking, drilling, etc.), gardens, shovels, tunnels, pits and pipelines, bones, graves, buried treasure, dirt, and holes of all sorts! I'm happy to say that two of my images were selected to be part of this group show.
Down the Shore

Overlook Hospital Auxilary Gallery, 99 Beauvoir Avenue, Summit, NJ

There has been a lot of change going on at HTGOC lately!
First of all, we want to thank Elia Nicholas for his selfless years of service and dedication to building this choir up. He has left behind some very, very big shoes to fill. we also want to thank Dena Byers for stepping in as interim director and keeping everything running smoothly during this transitional period!
We have welcomed Chelsea Waddelow, the new music minister at Holy Trinity (Raleigh, NC) with open arms. She is a board-certified music therapist during the week and specializes in working with children and teens with special needs. On Sundays, you can find her in the choir loft, working with a wonderful group of people to help "build the musical temple" for the worship of our congregation. She is brand new to the Orthodox church, and is having a wonderful experience learning more about the faith and the music we sing. She served as interim organist from August-December 2016 to get a feel for things, and has jumped right in starting January.
In spite of all the changes, our choir has kept up their engagement with the community throughout this period of transition. Our choir members were very actively involved in helping with the Greek Festival this September, serving on the organizing committees, working the t-shirt booth, and feeding a lot of hungry people! Over the Christmas season, we went caroling as a group and brought the joy of the season to homebound members of the local community. In the near future, the choir will be making an appearance at the Glendi and Talent Show; we don't want to spoil the surprise, but it's going to make everybody laugh!
The most exciting project we are up to these days is preparing for the Clergy/Laity and Choir Conference this summer! As the host community, we are excited to have the opportunity to help bring these two conferences into one enriching, fulfilling, and renewing community gathering. We are hoping for record attendance at what is going to be a brand new experience for all of us as we blend these two events. We all look forward to seeing you there!

I have not given up on life and want these gargantuan pieces of greasy goodness something fierce. Is it fair to say these burgers lead to obesity? Tasteless "healthy" food causes obesity. Let me know when no-fat, cholesterol free soy burgers w/o the bun taste good. Until then, Baconators all around.
Giving up on life has its benefits, namely wearing sweatpants all day and being able to eat any burger you want. Taking down any one of these five burgers is essentially waiving the white flag on your existence.
The Double Triple Stack Baconator
Combine the infamous Wendy's "Triple Double" seven patty special order burger with the oh-so-healthy Baconator and you get 7 patties + 14 strips of bacon. A hero named Wes actually took one down on video. To get an idea of what you're eating we imagine you take the Baconator nutrition facts and triple them.
The Angry Triple Whopper
This combination of Burger King's Angry Whopper (fried jalapenos = angry) and Burger King's Triple Whopper could possibly be a myth as we can't find a picture of one. But it's kind of hard to believe that not even one person in the midwest has ordered this bad boy. Oh, and nutrition facts are available.
1,360 calories and 91 grams of fat. Nice.
