We've all been told countless times not to drink and drive, drive when we're tired or use our cell phones when we're at the wheel, but have you ever considered some of the less obvious bad driving habits that you may have? If the answer is no, then allow me to bring them into your awareness. Here are 15 less obvious bad driving habits that all of us really should avoid getting into:
1. Driving Too Fast for the Road Conditions
If it starts to rain, or the road you're on is slick or icy, don't rely on your vehicle's stability and safety systems to keep you on the road – they are fallible when pushed beyond their limits too. Do the sensible thing and slow down to a speed that is appropriate for the road conditions. Also keep in mind that 24% of all road accidents in the US occur due to adverse weather and/or road conditions.
2. Drafting Tractor Trailers
Okay, so you dreamed of being a NASCAR driver in your youth, but life didn't turn out the way you imagined. If you're behind a tractor trailer on the highway, don't be tempted into doing any drafting maneuvers to save fuel or for any other reason, as this will not allow you enough time to brake in the event that the driver has to slam on his brakes. The bottom of a trailer and the height of your car's hood provide the ideal recipe for decapitation…
3. Failure to Yield the Right of Way
Don't be that driver who always has to go first, especially when you're supposed to yield the right of way. In fact, this kind of bad driving habit is the leading cause of accidents among drivers over 70. Another part of failure to yield is running stop signs and red lights in built-up areas. Other drivers expect an intersection to be clear when their light turns green.
4. Driving Fast or Too Slow for the Road Type
While you often hear about speeding and the grave consequences (no pun intended) that can ensue if you do have an accident, driving slowly in the outside lane of a highway is just as unacceptable. Staying within 15kph of a road's stated speed limit is the way to go, drastically reducing the risk of an accident for yourself and everyone around you.
5. Doing Makeup While Driving
Ladies, this one's for you. While we totally appreciate you for continuously putting your best foot forward, it would probably be a wise move on your behalf if you kept at least one eye on the road. Think about it – to apply mascara, for instance, you need to squint with one eye and use the other to look at what you're doing in your car's visor mirror. We'd rather have you around with a little less makeup on than not have you around at all.
6. Skipping the Queue
Having to deal with a long queue of cars is frustrating for everyone that's stuck in one, including you. With that being said, it's never a good idea to just overtake everyone and then barge your way in. If you're on the receiving end of someone's rudeness and impatience, be the bigger person and let them sneak in in front of you. That's a way better outcome than causing a multi-car pileup, isn't it?
7. Rubbernecking
There's no denying that human beings are curious creatures. If there's an accident on the road you're driving on, you'd undoubtedly be inclined to look to see what has happened, especially if it looks like multiple cars are involved. Before you do "rubberneck", however, think about whether there are cars behind you, and whether you could continue contributing to the mayhem in your immediate vicinity.
8. Not Checking Tire Pressures
An incredibly easy thing to neglect could result in a big, unnecessary accident, and we're sure you don't want that. A car that has different pressure levels in its four wheels could be prone to ill handling. If you get it wrong going around a particularly tricky corner, you know what the result can be. What's more is that incorrect tire pressures will harm your car's gas mileage and cause uneven tire wear.
9. Trying to Make a Turn at the Last Second
If you've just realized that you've only got a few seconds to swerve and make it onto the correct highway exit, then resist the temptation and get off at the next one. While doing so will save you time, have you asked yourself what could happen if you misjudge your swerve? Cars and concrete walls are not good bedfellows, and you shouldn't be the one to challenge the theory.
10. Accelerating Through Yellow Lights
Although you might want to see if you can beat the yellow light before it turns red, you're better off just sitting back and waiting for it to go green. Consider the fact that different traffic lights have different time intervals to one another, meaning that you could be fooled into thinking you can make it past clearly when in reality you can't.
11. Eating While Driving
The majority of us have been guilty of this one in the past after grabbing a double cheeseburger at the drive-through, but the truth is that having one hand off the wheel so you can bite into whichever tasty morsel has taken your fancy is a distraction. Both of your hands are best left on your car's steering wheel when you're driving.
12. Not Checking Blind Spots
It's very easy to make an assumption that there aren't any cars alongside you, but assumptions can always be wrong. Couple a good look in your wing mirror with a quick glance over your shoulder to ensure that the coast is completely clear before you switch lanes.
13. Improper Merging
You may think you're being polite by waiting for a gap when trying to merge onto a freeway or highway, but what you're really doing is holding up all the cars that are behind you. On the other hand, resist the urge to hurriedly try and make it into a perceived gap – it might not be big enough. Treat merging as if it was a delicate balancing act that needs finesse to get it right.
14. Cutting People Off
Being late heading out to work or an appointment is never a good situation to be in, but that doesn't mean you should make it worse by trying to make up time weaving through heavy traffic. If you do, you're running the risk of the car behind you running into you, as well as the risk of slamming into the car ahead of you if you execute the maneuver too quickly.
15. Tailgating
Whether you're guilty of doing this or have been on the receiving end of it, tailgating drives both parties involved completely crazy. The person in the car in front gets annoyed at the person in the car behind because of their unwillingness to back off, and vice versa because the person in the car in front just won't speed up. Tailgating can also lead to vindictive pieces of driving, such as brake checking. There should always be a minimum of two seconds' distance to each car, both front and back, on any given road.

During the W interview, the actress [Katie Holmes] wouldn't part from Jessica Rodriguez, who is described as her "Scientologist chaperone." Rodriguez's role in Holmes' life remains vague, though Rodriguez says they're "just best friends" since meeting around the time Holmes met Cruise."You adore him," Rodriguez told Holmes when the actress was at a loss for words to describe her love.
A moderate conservative living in the left coast, surrounded by the sureal, wonders if there is a sane life living amongst those who have lost touch with reality.

I use OrderDomainPricingOverride hook to change some domain price manually, I need two registrars to use this hook, but when I add hook file to the second registrar's folder I get blank page and the whole site shuts down.

Hello All,
I am trying to following part of code within the viewinvoice page but the paymentbutton is not updated. Is the smarty->assign option still supported?
<?php function custom($vars) { global $smarty; if ($vars['filename'] == 'viewinvoice' && $vars['status'] == 'Unpaid') { $smarty->assign('paymentbutton', "BG"); } } add_hook('ClientAreaPage', 1, 'custom'); ?> The hook seems to run but the paymentbutton is not updated. Does anyone have the same issue? How can we update the paymentbutton?

I added a hook file to try and change the title tags on each domain per a thread here.
I removed the bad hook called titles.php and the site is still down with this message:
Something went wrong and we couldn't process your request.
Please go back to the previous page and try again.
The template cache folder is empty and I've tried it from multiple locations and computers. I've rebooted apache and the server and no help.
Once the bad hook file is gone how can it still crash the whole system. The site is Web Host Pro
Any ideas how to fix it?

Summer has finally arrived in Wisconsin and that means it's time to make the most of our outdoor living spaces. A recent Yale University study identified a widening disconnect between people and nature, even though research has repeatedly shown that time spent outdoors is good for our physical and mental health (a few highlights are covered in this article from Business Insider).
When we think of home storage and organization, we often think first of our indoor spaces, especially the kitchen & bath, laundry room, home office, closets and entertainment systems. This summer, Cabinet City would love to help you bring beautiful and functional home organization elements to help you get outside and make the most your outdoor spaces.
The possibilities are endless, but here are a few ideas to get started:
• Have you been dreaming of an outdoor kitchen? Even in small spaces the right cabinets and design elements can make this dream a reality. If a full cooking space isn't in the cards, a small bar and serving area make entertaining a breeze.
• Make the most of your transitional spaces. From full mudrooms to locker and entryway systems, we can help keep your high traffic areas free of clutter for better flow between indoors and out.
• Give your porch purpose. If you have a three- or four-season porch, what do you most use it for? If it's for entertaining, does it have the right service features? If it is more of a reading nook, bookshelves might be a must. For avid gardeners, porches can be a perfect place for potting with the right cabinets and workbench.
• As we wrote about last month, the garage tends to be the largest room of the house when it comes to square footage, but it is often underutilized. From custom bike racks to full tool storage systems, we can help transform your garage into a fully functional and organized space.
We'd love to help you improve and make the most of your outdoor living spaces this summer. Once you've got your spaces set up, you can have infinite amounts of fun decorating and accessorizing. These 14 Cheap DIYs for a Better Backyard from Bob Vila are a great place to start when it comes to simple and fun summer DIY projects. Happy Summer!

If you're wondering if you missed our last week's WOW, it's time we fess up – we were too busy enjoying the previous week's WOW, 2015 Reserve Pinot Noir from Bien Nacido and decided to give ourselves more time to linger on that beautiful Pinot before we jumped on to the next wine. Since our previous post, we've been graced with more rain and more California winter weather (which means our rain boots have been used almost a handful of times this year). And you know what that means… more delicious red wine by the fireplace. But! Who says you can't enjoy a crisp, cold white wine while it rains outside? Not us! (In fact, our Manager, Jackie, unabashedly drinks white or rosé year-round so you're in good company.) Therefore, although Ojai's warmer spring weather has not yet made its appearance, we are currently LOVING our 2015 Reserve Chardonnay which also happens to come from our favorite Central Coast vineyard site, Bien Nacido!
The Wine:
2015 Reserve Chardonnay, Bien Nacido Vineyard - $38 bottle, $30.40 wine club
Buy Now! On our website or in our Tasting Room.
The Varietal:
There are two types of people in this world – those who love Chardonnay and those who loathe it. If you hate Chardonnay, we get what you mean. You know, that buttery bag of popcorn wine your Grandma drinks… overly rich and gaudy, like a bad Las Vegas hotel. Well, we're not one for binaries. We don't believe in positioning ourselves in either the "gotta have" or "gotta dump" Chardonnay groups so we sought out to make a Chardonnay for all palates. A Chardonnay with just the right amount of oak to round out it's brighter flavors and a creamy, not buttery, texture to enhance its charm. There is a reason that everyone, including wine novices and connoisseurs alike, are familiar with the name Chardonnay and it's because when it's done right, it's the perfect white wine.
The Vineyard:
Bien Nacido Vineyard - Santa Maria
Another noble charmer from Bien Nacido Vineyard, this Chardonnay comes from the "I Block" an old vine planting in sandy-loam soils on the lower part of the vineyard. Low yields and long hang-time are typical of this block, and the resulting fruit is flavored with tropical fruits, chalk-like mineralality, and wildflowers.
If you're looking for an in depth description of Bien Nacido Vineyard, we encourage you to check out our last WOW blog post where we sing the praises of this wonderful site in full detail...
What the critics say:
92 points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine
"This bottling from a new winery in Ojai shows salty lemons and lush nectarine on the nose alongside a touch of chives and roasted chicken flesh. The palate deftly blends browned butter with crisp citrusy freshness and a strong textural grip, proving refreshing and rich at the same time. The finish is chalky with hints of sea salt caramel and sliced apple." - Matt Kettman, Wine Enthusiast
Wine Specs:ABV: 13.3%
We barrel ferment this wine in a mix of new and neutral French Oak (that tends to have a gentle influence on the wine), using yeasts isolated from the famous vineyards of Meursault in Burgundy. This barrel regiment and yeast selection adds to the creamy and nutty characters in the wine, and softens the acidic backbone into something more refined. This is a wine that will stand the test of time with long cellar aging potential. As with all of our wines, however, we release them when they are ready to drink, and they can always be enjoyed young and fresh.
Suggested Pairing:
Crab cakes with homemade tartar sauce and freshly squeezed lemon!

Serge is highly intelligent, and very good at explaining a not so fun subject matter (for me anyway.) I like that he offers more of an honest, and more educational approach to explaining his services rather than the "sales-y" approach that the other SEO companies have that I called. Serge's rates/fee is very reasonable and I am very grateful that we found him on YELP, and got in with him before he takes off for the stars. I did a healthy amount of research with other SEO companies, (even used a crappy one,) and Serge has so far proven to be a fantastic choice. Very hands on which I appreciate.

Ham and Cheese Egg Muffins
Ham and Cheese Egg Muffins with tomatoes, spinach, and loads of cheddar cheese ought to right away be extra to your weekly menu for a grab and go breakfast absolutely everyone will enjoy.
I have a slight obsession with eggs muffins and make them nearly weekly for quick breakfasts and snacks. Real truth be instructed, I probably consume this a lot more frequently as a submit exercise snack than I do for breakfast. They are also a fantastic way to clean out your fridge given that you can fairly significantly toss anything in and they will style tasty.
Like many of my egg muffin recipes, this model was designed late on Sunday as I was preparing for the week forward. After a rapid revision of the fridge, I immediately realized I necessary to use up some leftover deli ham. Considering that a grilled ham, cheese, and tomato is one particular of my favored sandwiches, I employed that for inspiration and created an egg muffin with the identical tasty substances, in addition some spinach for greens.

I get it. I actually do. Teachers are massively below-appreciated and over-labored. Okay-12 instructors have to juggle state requirements, unsympathetic parents, state-mandated exams, and a ridiculous number of assemblies and announcements that lower into class-time (…if anyone ever desires to speak in regards to the struggles of educating in public schools, come to me. We can bond over espresso). Graduate instructors and adjunct professors are sometimes thrust into classrooms with minimal coaching on the course materials, let alone supplemental resources, and juggle massive course loads (each instructing and learning) that make the idea of free-time" and self-guided learning" a joke…and not a very funny one, at that.

Overexpression of the 92 kDa type IV collagenase (MMP-9) contributes to cancer progression. However, to date, there are few known regulators of expression of this metalloproteinase. We employed an expression library comprising 500000 cDNA clones to screen for novel regulators of MMP-9 expression. HT1080 cells were transiently co-transfected with an MMP-9 promoter-luciferase reporter and pools of the cDNA expression library. Positive-scoring pools were subdivided in secondary and tertiary screens, after which the regulatory cDNAs were identified by DNA sequencing. This brief review illustrates the utility of expression cloning in identifying specific regulators of MMP-9 expression.

Here's a public policy suggestion from a few weeks ago, which I haven't encountered before.
... A real solution for gratuitous violation of civil rights by the police would be to abolish their immunity. Force individual officers to carry insurance or a bond, paid from their own salaries. By all means give the officers a raise to cover premium expense, but if an officer faces too many claims or judgments, a responsible, objective third party (the insurance company) can revoke his badge by cancelling tort coverage.
– http://www.popehat.com/2014/09/01/22713/
I'm not sure quite how serious the suggestion is. But as a thought exercise... I suspect there are problems with it, over and above the ones hinted at by the author (the police & unions wouldn't like it, sort of reasons). I'm going to have to think about it though. At a first guess they would involve the kinds of problems that usually crop up with insurance companies ... and the kinds of problems that usually crop up in court cases dealing with insurance companies, and dealing with police actions.
However, some of those are in part about a sort of (sub-)cultural attitude regarding police officers, both inside and out of the forces. Were a suggestion like this enacted, perhaps there would be a culture shift? (Noting that 'immunity' means different things in different countries, and possibly different US States, so the nature and degree of effect should vary.)
There are as things stand some professions where this kind of insurance has to be in place ... really, not that different from driving insurance – but for most people that's not really comparable, because driving is a luxury rather than an essential or a livelihood. It would be interesting to look at the effect of required insurance on different professions. Maybe it would help draw a conclusion.
Or in fact, what are the effects on police officers of having to have driving insurance, where that is the case?

So I bought the Fetercairn because I needed to. And I grabbed this one before I like Gummy Bears.
In behind the bar, a copper, candy coloured bottle caught my eye. And I wanted to know what it was. Not to mention I watched the cartoon "Gummy Bears" as a child, so I needed to get myself into trouble by asking.
What I discovered wasn't some convoluted plot about berry juice hatched by an evil Baron/Duke, and rather was an IB of Caol Ila, Caol Ila 1991 The Cooper's Choice.
Normally Copper's Choice brings out whiskies from distilleries that aren't normally released. I don't really know how Caol Ila fits in. Yes, they are Diageo owned, and thus we don't see too many releases (CS, 12, 18, maybe a special one). However every so often we do see more and more of them.
By Diageo standards, that makes them…

H.P. Blavatsky wrote: "With the spread of the spiritualistic cult, the Messiah craze has vastly increased, and men and women alike have been involved in its whirlpools. Given, a strong desire to reform somehow the religious or social aspect of the world, a personal hatred of certain of its aspects, and a belief in visions and messages, and the result was sure; the 'Messiah' arose with a universal panacea for the ills of mankind. If he (very often she) did not make the claim, it was made for him. Carried away by the magnetic force, the eloquence, the courage, the single idea of the apostle pro tem, numbers, for very varied reasons, accepted him or her as the revelator of the hour and of all time." ". . . To distinguish the white rays of truth from influx from the astral sphere, requires a training which ordinary sensitives, whether avowed spiritualists or not, do not possess. Ignorance emboldens, and the weak will always worship the bold." "Some of these apostles denounce alike Spiritualism and Theosophy; some accept the latter, but weave it anew into a version of their own; and some have apparently arisen, independently of any other cult, through the force of their own or somebody else's conviction...." "There is an avowed re-incarnation of Buddha in the United States, and an avowed re-incarnation of Christ. Both have followers; both have been interviewed and said their best. They and others like unto them have had signs, illuminations, knowledge not common to men, and events pointing in a marked way to this their final destiny. There has even been a whisper here and there of supernatural births. . . . And the result is sorry to behold, for each seems to be putting the crown upon his own head." "Wherever [genuine] Theosophy spreads, there it is impossible for the deluded to mislead, or the deluded to follow. It opens a new path, a forgotten philosophy which has lived through the ages, a knowledge of the psychic nature of man, which reveals alike the true status of the Catholic saint, and the spiritualistic medium the Church condemns. It gathers reformers together, throws light on their way, and teaches them how to work towards a desirable end with most effect, but forbids any to assume a crown or sceptre, and no less delivers from a futile crown of thorns." "Mesmerisms and astral influences fall back, and the sky grows clear enough for higher light. It hushes the 'Lo here! and lo there!' and declares the Christ, like the kingdom of heaven, to be within. It guards and applies every aspiration and capacity to serve humanity in any man, and shows him how. It overthrows the giddy pedestal, and safely cares for the human being on solid ground. Hence, in this way, and in all other ways, it is the truest deliverer and saviour of our time." "To enumerate the various 'Messiahs' and their beliefs and works would fill volumes. It is needless. When claims conflict, all, on the face of it, cannot be true. Some have taught less error than others. It is almost the only distinction. And some have had fine powers imperilled and paralyzed by leadings they did not understand." "Modern Apostles and Pseudo-Messiahs," Lucifer (London), July, 1890.

On May 20, the IL varsity track team traveled to East Jordan to compete for Regionals. The boys team finished in sixth with 43 points, while the girls team finished in fourth with 72 points. Both teams had the chance to compete with the best school in Division 4, Whittemore-Prescott.
"It was very stiff competition today. Whittemore is the #1 Division 4 team in the state and they showed it today," boys coach Brandon Beltz said. "They scooped up a lot of the points and many of the qualifying positions in the races which made it difficult for the [Inland Lakes] boys to qualify. "
Despite this formidable opponent, Luke Passino broke a new school record. Duane Vizina was the previous record holder for the 400-meter dash. Luke is now holding the record at 51.42 and will be going to states for the event.
There were 5 girls who qualified for states: Abbi Kline, Hailey Shank, Lexi Passino and Falyn Mansfield qualified for the 1600 meter relay, and Katie Byrne qualified for high jump. Hailey Shank also qualified for the 1600 meter run and the 800-meter run on top of the 1600 meter relay. Only one guy from the boy's team qualified for states and that was Luke Passino. He qualified for states in the 800-meter run, as well as the 400-meter dash.
"We have many season bests and personal bests on the day, and we have a group of athletes ready to take on the state finals," girls coach Sarah Furman said. "I figured we could be in the top four teams today, which is exactly where we finished. I am very, very satisfied with our day."

Chef quits 'South Park'
Cites "inappropriate ridicule" of religion.
- Soul singer Isaac Hayes said Monday he was quitting his job as the voice of the lusty character "Chef" on the satiric cable TV cartoon "South Park," citing the show's "inappropriate ridicule" of religion.
But series co-creator Matt Stone said the veteran recording artist was upset the show had recently lampooned the Church of Scientology, of which Hayes is an outspoken follower.
"In ten years and over 150 episodes of 'South Park,' Isaac never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslim, Mormons or Jews," Stone said in a statement issued by the Comedy Central network.
"He got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was his religion featured on the show."

What is criticism?
How do we handle it?
This morning I awoke with the awareness that the world is made up of our judgments.
Where we judge we are stuck with our perceptions.
Where we forgive, the perceptions are transformed into Love.
Where I judge myself, I am stuck.
Where I forgive, I am free to choose again.
It is with judgments that we are designing our perception of our world.
It is with forgiveness that we erase our faulty picture and create what is Good.
When I am judged and criticized, attacked and blamed, I can feel hurt and offended.
If I feel hurt and offended, I either agree with the attack and create more pain.
Or I disagree with the attack and blame the other person.
Or I can forgive the mistaken judgment and free both myself and the other.
So when given a diagnosis, or when labeled or when seen as limited, we can choose to be hurt and take it personally or we can acknowledge, thanks for sharing that part of you and thanks for sharing what you see in me. I am willing to forgive, release and undo it all for both of us and set us free.
To free the world of judgment and attack, forgive it all.
To let go of what we cannot understand for its insanity, forgive it all.
I value button-pushing because it shows me where I have buttons.
When I get upset, I know I have buttons.
While I can cast blame on the button pusher or feel guilty for those I still have,
My buttons are my responsibility to clear.
When I have truly forgiven, I am neutral.
When I am neutral, I am free.
When I am at peace, I am not upset.
When I am enjoying my life, I am creating, the good, the beautiful and the holy.
I value the opportunity to remove my own buttons with my forgiveness tool.
Thank you Spirit for the simplicity of practical spiritual tools.
Loving you all,
Betty Lue

In Austin, Texas, Lewis finished qualifying for the United States Grand Prix in fifth place. "That was a really tricky session this afternoon so I have to be pleased with fifth place although, of course, I'd rather have been fighting for a position on the first two rows," said Lewis. "The car was quick out there and I had a good balance but we just couldn't get the tyres to work."
Lewis secured P2 in Q1 and P7 in Q2. He achieved his fastest lap time of 1:37.345 in Q3. "The track was completely different from the final practice session this morning and it was really gusty round the back which affected our car quite a lot," added Lewis. "In practice, the car has felt really strong this weekend so I hope we have a good set-up for tomorrow. I need to have a good start in the race and, if we can achieve that, then there is still a lot to play for."

Russell Westbrook became just the second player in NBA history to average a triple-double and that alone should merit him an MVP.
Westbrook wins the award over James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and LeBron James, who was not nominated. All three were very deserving but only one is able to win it. At the end of the day, voters couldn't help but be swayed by Westbrook's triple double numbers.
His raw production might not have been as efficient as Harden's, but what he did on a basketball court was truly impressive. The OKC superstar averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 10.4 assists while leading the league in scoring.
Furthering Westbrook's case was that he clearly carried the Thunder on a nightly basis. Oklahoma City just wasn't the same team when he left the floor and that may have been what sealed the deal for many voters. This is the Most "Valuable" Player award and carrying that roster to the playoffs is obvious value.
There will be arguments against Westbrook's MVP, but his season is going to be remembered as one of the most incredible years in NBA history. He was a man on the mission from the beginning of the season and the award is well deserved.
Here is the complete list of winners:
Most Valuable Player: Russell Westbrook
Defensive Player of the Year: Draymond Green
Most Improved Player: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Sixth Man of the Year: Eric Gordon
Coach of the Year: Mike D'Antoni
Rookie of the Year: Malcolm Brogdon
Executive of the Year: Bob Myers
Sager Strong Award: Monty Williams
Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year: Dirk Nowitzki
Lifetime Achievement Award: Bill Russell
Best Style: Russell Westbrook
Assists of the Year: Stephen Curry/Draymond Green
Block of the Year: Kawhi Leonard
Dunk of the Year: Victor Oladipo
Sportsmanship Award: Kemba Walker
Game-Winner of the Year: Russell Westbrook
Performance of the Year: Klay Thompson
Playoff Moment: Kevin Durant

Pricing for Gicleé Printing
First print .17 cents per square inch (any substrate)
Second through tenth prints .10 cents per square inch
Eleventh and beyond prints .09 cents per square inch
When ordering prints, it's best to distinguish between "image" size and "paper" size. Tip: Paper size is the same as frame size.
16x20 image with a 2" border would require a 20x24 substrate (paper or canvas)
The first print would cost 20x24 = 480 sq in x .17 = $81.60
The 2nd print would cost 20x24 = 480 sq in x .10 = $48.00
Print cost is based on paper size, if you want borders, be sure to add the border dimensions to both the length and width of the paper. A 2" border requires 4" additional paper for both length and width.
Once you print the first copy, you are always eligible for the 2nd and beyond discounts. You don't have to order at the same time.
Gicleé Prints
Gicleé is pronounced "zclay"
A note about "Gicleé" prints – The term Gicleé was coined to denote a specific standard of printing quality. However, the term was never officiated or defined as an approved benchmark. Thus, the industry lacks accepted qualifications defining Gicleé prints. Due to this lack of agreed upon standards, consider together the printing equipment, the ink and the substrates along with the printer's experience.
Other factors include software, monitor calibration and color profile creation. We use the most up to date Adobe® Cloud software with X-Rite® monitor calibration and custom color profile equipment to ensure constant reliable color with any ink and paper combination.
Certified archival paper and canvas are always in stock. Your print work can be reproduced on smooth or textured stock in matte or glossy ink. Also available are a variety of papers to meet any price point. Plus, we print on vinyl and polyester.
We use the Epson® 9900 44" wide format printer with Epson® HRD archival inks for sharp long lasting print work at resolutions up to 2800 dpi.

Camillus went to Rome for medical treatment on his leg and he met Saint Philip Neri, the great apostle to Rome. Because he lacked an education, Camillus began to study with children when he was 32 years old. Sounds like he followed in the footsteps of Ignatius of Loyola.
At particular point Camillus founded the Congregation of the Servants of the Sick (known as the Camillians or Fathers of a Good Death) whose charism was to care for the sick both in the hospital and at home. The Congregation expanded to several countries. Gospel clarity of Matthew 25 gave Camillus honored the sick as living images of Christ. The service to the sick allowed Camillus to hope that he did sufficient penance for the sins of his youth.
What does Saint Camillus teach us? The answer comes from the opening prayer for the Mass of the saint. We ask for the grace that allows us to have the perspective and desire to service with "charity towards the sick," because in serving God in our neighbor, we may enter into beatitude when it is our time –at the hour of our death. What we saw in Christ passes now over to the Mystical Body of Christ.

I sit on a plane destined for London then Rome. We got the seats with the extra leg room at the front of coach. My tiny TV is broken. I forgot to download movies onto my fancy new iPad. I have been reading all about Rome and making connections as I compare stories that friends have told me about their travels with the guide book on my Kindle App. But now it is time for a break. So I begin thinking about what I'm leaving behind and what I'm moving toward.
You may have noticed a blog silence from me over the past few weeks. I have no explanation other than that I had nothing new to say. Every time I sat down to write, I found myself repeating sentiments from previous entries or without any thoughts at all. Nothing was going on. Well, what was going on is that I was waiting on other people. Waiting for responses, for meetings that kept getting postponed, for inspiration. I mean I was bored y'all.
The worst/best part was that I knew I had a lot on the horizon. Besides this fantastic 2 week adventure to Italy, I have an impending construction project at home which seems to be holding up all other home projects like organizing "the room we shall not speak of," and a short film in pre-production, which means lots of logistics, scheduling, and re-writes. Italy, new and improved rec room, and a film I've been writing for a year finally getting close to being made. I had a lot going on on paper, but nothing going on in reality. Because in reality I was waiting. Waiting and waiting and waiting. I knew that it would be unwise to stat a new project. I knew that the minute I did, my life would explode.
And then one day it did. Suddenly the people I was waiting on were available and I was taking phone calls at 10:30 pm on a Tuesday. Suddenly the boredom I had been feeling several days before turned to overwhelm. There was no balance in either direction. I went from bored to overwhelm in a matter of hours.
When I think back on the past few weeks I feel a wide range of emotions. I have been describing it to people as a rollercoaster. It was uncomfortable. I didn't always know what to do next. Whether it be deciding whether to put the door to the rec room on the east side or the north side of the building, trying to sort out what my protagonist really truly wants or helping my husband figure out what he really truly wants from his job. I didn't know what was coming next and it was uncomfortable.
But there's a lot in life that is uncomfortable and maybe I needed to go through this weird period of time to show myself that I can handle a little discomfort. That I can make it through. Maybe it will help me when I'm trying to stick to my plan of eating gelato no more than once a day, instead of indulging my inner bratty child that wants what I want when I want it.
Truth is, I don't know what the point of the past 5 or 6 weeks has been for me. All I know is that I'm on a plane on my way to Italy, somewhere I've wanted to go for almost 20 years. And when I get there I'm going to eat some pasta and then I'm going to go for a walk.
And maybe, that's enough for now. Ciao!

Admissions – Substance Use Intervention
It is estimated that more than 90% of substance use interventions lead an individual to pursue recovery. At Beacon Point Recovery Center, we offer intervention services for those in need of professional assistance addressing the SUD (Substance Use Disorder) of a loved one.
The First Step is the Hardest
Deciding to get help is the first and most difficult step toward recovery. An intervention is not about embarrassing, scolding, or ambushing a loved one; it is about showing the person you genuinely care about them and that you are there to support them on the journey ahead.
Our experienced intervention specialists know how to successfully get through to those battling a SUD, to convince them to agree to detoxification.
Getting the Conversation Started
Many family-coordinated interventions fail because the group is not prepared to answer the concerns the dependent individual has about the detox process. We come prepared to address these barriers, which include:
- Stigma Surrounding Rehab
- The Efficacy of Detox
- Employment and Financial Concerns
- Logistical Barriers
It is critical that our clients decide for themselves to seek help. When forced, rehabilitation is relatively unsuccessful. With the help of a trusted interventionist from Beacon Point, we can help to persuade an individual they need professional help.
Don't Delay. Call Us Now.
Each day that passes carries an immense risk for loved ones battling a substance use disorder. An intervention can be the wake-up call a person needs to realize they need to make a change. If someone close to you has refused to seek help, and you think an intervention is necessary, call us immediately.

I couldn't have asked for a better group of women to care for me and my baby throughout my pregnancy and homebirth delivery. They were absolutely perfect! They make you feel cared for every step of the way, educating you, and empowering you to have the healthiest natural birth possible. Their support got me through the delivery of my first baby at home, just like I wanted. They guided and supported me and my husband through every step. Even when I doubted myself, they comforted me and gave me the words of support and encouragement that got me through it. I give the Midwives of NJ my utmost highest recommendation, without reservation.

It was one of those situations where I was one of several stage acts, introduced by m.c. Len Andree: almost immediately after one act finished, Len would kill some time on stage with a game or contest, to allow the next act to clamber up and set up their show.
Famed Vancouver television celebrity and ventriloquist Peter Rolston was on before myself, so I was able to enjoy this seasoned professional's show.
One thing I noticed was the ease with which he switched from one vent dummy to another: he was using a steamer-trunk, or a trunk which stood upright, which housed his ventriloquist figures! As soon as he was done, he merely closed the trunk and exited the stage to resounding laughter and applause, wheeling off the trunk with ease, as opposed to fumbling, zipping, stuffing, and folding!
After my show, I gave it some thought, and remembered there was an old army footlocker (metal trunk) resting unused upstairs in the unfinished attic of my Lanark home in Winnipeg.
Feverishly I brought it down, insulation falling on me as I gingerly stepped off the wooden retractable ladder which led up to the space, discreetly hidden by a small trap-door in the ceiling.
At that time, my first TV-show, "Kiddie Cabaret" was in it's second or third season, and one of the writers/clowns on the show, Darrell Scarrett, arrived at my home, offering to help me to transform the old army relic into a thing of beauty, worthy of my audience's adoration.
We attached four wheels to the underside, I lined the trunk with a furry blue fabric, and he installed a shelf in one half of it. I later installed pockets made of the same black, faux-leather chesterfield-style material that I covered the entire thing with. To finish it, I glued a gold bunny-in-the-hat on the front, just in case people couldn't identify this as a magician's prop. In those days, I was relatively fresh from a larger city, so the compulsory glitz-and-glamor "tinsley" backdrop and yes, even waistcoat, had to dominate the look of my typical eighties show. The trunk was relatively understated in comparison to the rest of my gaudy show, which consisted of glittery, brightly-painted props and boxes and silk handkerchiefs; after all, I believed that more was, well...more. Check out the pic (labeled "1983") of me and that trunk.
Several years later (1985 pic) on one of my vacations to Miami, Florida, (a hub-bub of magic action!) I came across a brand new trunk at a local Sears. This trunk subsequently went through hundreds and hundreds of shows, reincarnating and re-inventing itself (as I did) with a red-furry covering, (not pictured) even a grey, black-and-mylar motif which (pardon the pun) reflected the then-popular "Industrial"-look/feel that David Copperfield made popular in the nineties. (pic labelled 1994) This pic was taken, by-the-way, at my very last appearance in Winnipeg, just before I relocated to Vancouver, Canada.
Recently, after using an oversized leather doctor's bag, sometimes alternating it with a stand-up fabric suitcase on wheels (depending on the venue/size of the show) for my shows, I've gone back to the "magic" trunk: I was given for Christmas a brand-new black trunk purchased from Sears, and delivered in more than enough time for me to install pockets, etc. in time for this years Christmas show! It's identical to the one I used for years but which was long gone...full-circle, baby! I've added my "Magic Mike's Castle" logo, laminated, and hung from the handle to update/customize my current "incarnation" (Check out the pic labelled 2014)
I'll continue to alternate (again depending on the size/location of the show) between my beautiful new trunk and my leather doctor's bag, hopefully honoring the "Magic Mike Likey" tradition of trunks and carpet-bags, hoods, knee-high boots, poet's shirts, and all things medieval/period-themed.

Chapter 14: "Massacre"
Der Riese - Infirmary
Dr. Schultz lied in his bed, still recovering from the neck wound he had acquired during the field test. His skin grew paler every day, and he suffered from high fever and cold sweats on a regular basis.
The war was over, he had read it in the paper delivered to him. The Second Great War was finally finished. But this meant doom for Group 935. Dr. Schultz also could not shake the biting truth that he was dying.
Dr. Maxis left Dr. Schultz and the rest at Der Riese shortly after a surgery of someone at the facility. Maxis seemed not concerned with the well being of his scientists who had suffered from the two-six field test. All Dr. Schultz had was his nurse, who would care for him and treat his wound when needed.
That night a scream could be heard outside the operating room. His nurse strode to the door and investigated outside. The scream that came next sent shivers down Dr. Schultz's spine. A zombie had gotten loose in the facility and was killing many outside, including the nurse he had just spoken with. Gunshots could be heard all throughout the facility, along with screams of terror. Many cried out in German, but there were some voices in Russian.
Dr. Schultz painfully turned his neck towards the alarm, he lifted himself up but the pain in his face kept him reeling on the ground. The pain was enormous, but he crawled on to the nearby alarm system. Next to the alarm was a recording device. This was the end.
He turned it on.
"I am Dr. Schultz. A doctor of Group 935. Our fragile alliance with the Nazi party has ended, rather catastrophically. The Partei is gone. Der Riese is being raided by the Soviets as I speak. I thought Group 935 could succeed in its mission. But I'm all out of hope. Auf Wiedersehen, my friend."
Dr. Schultz turned the knob to the proper combination, allowing the alarm button to be pressed. The alarm came on all over the entire facility, and a P.A. System said the following:
"Warning, the shield is now active, find and destroy the designated materials and report to the barracks, this is not a drill."
Dr. Schultz searched his pockets. The cyanide was nowhere to be found. It must be in his uniform locked away somewhere else.
"Dammit! - I can't find my pills...they are coming, I must do what I must do. God forgive us all!"
Dr. Schultz pulled a chair over and flipped it upright. He tied his bed sheets into a make-shift noose, and got himself into position. Finally, kicking the chair, Schultz suffocated to death on the noose as the chaos raged on at Der Riese.
Already over thirty deaths from a mix of Soviet gunmen and rampant zombies, Group 935 scientists still residing at Der Riese attempted to destroy their work, and either get to the barracks, or take their cyanide pill.
Within an hour of the massacre, American troops arrived at Der Riese and a standoff between the two allied groups began. The Americans forced the Soviets out of the facility after they had already salvaged much important research from Group 935. The scientists who had not killed themselves or been shot during the standoff were captured by the US troops.
The survivors in Group 935 scattered to their many research stations around the world. Edward Richtofen had established a teleporter at Group 935's Siberian facility for quick transportation to Griffin Station. Dr. Maxis now resided at Griffin Castle with Samantha. Dr. Groph and Dr. Schuster continued tests on the MPD at Griffin Station on the Moon, while Dr. Maxis had presumed they had died at the Der Riese Massacre.

With the ever-expanding list of devices that connect our world and claim to better our lives, choosing the right products for your smart home can be daunting. The fact is it's an emerging market with a variety of ways to connect and control aspects of your home and new gadgets are introduced all the time.
So where do you start? Focus on these four areas to help build the smart home that works for you.
1) Devices
Lighting, thermostats, contact/motion sensors, cameras, speakers! There are too many to fully list, but start with asking yourself one simple question: "How can this device help make my life easier?"
Are your porch lights always turned on in the evening and turned off in the morning? Use smart bulbs to automate that. Does your pesky neighbor keep stealing your monthly edition of Good Housekeeping? Get a camera to send you motion alerts and catch them in the act!
There are so many options for connected devices; just focus on making an aspect of your daily routine better one device at a time.
Recommended devices:
- Lights: Phillips Hue, LIFX
- Switches: TP-Link Smart Plug, Wemo Insight Switch, GE Smart Dimmer
- Sensors: Once you get a hub (see step 3), purchase their sensors for best results
- Thermostats: Nest Learning Thermostat, Ecobee3
- Cameras: Nest Cam, Netgear Arlo Pro
- Entertainment: Sonos, Logitech Harmony Elite
- Other: Nest Smoke Detector, Roomba, Neato Botvac, Anova Culinary Precision Cooker
2) Voice Control
This is second on the list because it gives quick and easy access to control your devices hands-free. Since the last thing you want to do is reach for your phone to open a specific app in order to toggle a light switch you could have just as easily (or more easily) reached for on the wall. So keep that in mind when picking your gadgets. Voice control should be used for more than a party trick.
Recommended devices:
3) Smart Hub
As you add more devices to your home, you're going to find that some don't use the same wireless technology and are unable to communicate with one another. Say you want to control a light switch with your voice through Alexa. The devices would have to share the same wireless technology in order to do so.
That's where the smart hub comes in. Instead of communicating directly with the light switch, Alexa sends the command to the hub and the hub communicates that command to the switch. Most hubs use the most popular wireless signals, but since this is still a new market and the standards are not, well, standard, it's important to check what wireless signal a device uses (Zigbee, Z-Wave, WeMo, Thread, etc.) before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
Recommended devices:
4) Automation
Now that you have everything in place and many devices to work with, set up scenes where multiple devices will work together at a specific time of day or an event to trigger multiple actions at once.
For example, with your smart hub you can orchestrate what happens when you arrive home from work, whether it's opening your garage door, turning on the foyer lights or playing your "chill" playlist on the kitchen speaker. Whatever works for you.
With these four areas in mind, putting together your smart home should be about reducing the amount of mundane activity and grunt work you do around the house. And of course, creating fun scenes for your next party or prank on your friends. It's all about what works best for you!

This was a new experience for Joe Root. He had never led England to victory overseas before. But he managed not to get too carried away after England's emphatic win.
"Hopefully this is not a one-off. We go to Kandy with a huge amount of confidence", he said with a quiet smile on his face. "It is not just us; it has become difficult across the board to win abroad so a win is sweeter when it happens in venues like this". Just over three months ago Sri Lanka defeated South Africa by 278 runs in Galle. Now England had won by 211.
It was a team effort with relatively unheralded cricketers, man of the match Ben Foakes, Keaton Jennings and Jack Leach coming to the fore while Stuart Broad and Jonny Bairstow were on the sidelines. Despite the victory there may be lengthy discussions about selection before the next Test at Pallekele on Wednesday. "I'm going to enjoy that difficult meeting", said Root. "It is going to be tough. But that's what you want. You want guys performing and to have to make those tough calls - whether that's leaving someone out, keeping the same team or shuffling the pack slightly. We'll have to wait and see".
England dominated the Test from lunch on Tuesday after a frenetic first session with the bat but Root explained their determination to take a bold approach at the start. "We'll probably take a bit of slack for the way we played [in the first two hours]. It was more the execution of the shots that was frustrating. If we had sat in our bunker and waited for a good ball when the pitch was tacky and spinning quite quickly we could have been 50 for five and it's a lot more difficult from there". He has a point not readily accepted by some of the old-timers; Root then alluded to how well his players adapted to changing conditions.
No one did that better than man of the match, Ben Foakes. "As a debut it was all right wasn't it?" said Root. "To come in and play with such maturity and understanding of his own game in a difficult position, not to get overawed and to be really calm and take every chance, well, it was great to see".
Foakes described his sudden elevation to Test cricket as "an unbelievable place to be". He has not had time to let everything sink in. He was asked about Kandy. "Jonny will be fit potentially." He kept thinking. "So I guess he's the number one and if I play one game I'm quite happy with that one." Somehow that is unlikely to be the case.
