Brainy Ideas for Summer Fun
by Health & Wellness Team - June 18, 2014
Ah, those lazy, hazy days of summer. Think vacations. Think school breaks. It seems like a good time for the entire family to just chill and not do any heavy mental lifting.
As tempting as that may sound, however, maintaining good brain health is a year-round activity. Here are a few fun and easy ways to help keep everyone's brain healthy this summer:
Get physical. Head outside with the kids for some hiking or biking—aerobic exercise gets the heart pumping. And that helps keep the brain fed with a healthy supply of blood and oxygen. It can even spur production of new brain cells, according to the Alzheimer's Association. One large study linked fitness in midlife with a reduced risk for dementia in older age.
Just make sure all bike riders wear a helmet—it helps protect the brain from trauma in case of an accident or fall.
Be a brainiac. Read a book while lounging at the beach. Break out word games for family game night. Forcing yourself to think can add new brain cells and solidify their connections.
Serve some food for thought. Summer is the perfect time to head to your local farmers market for foods high in brain-friendly antioxidants. Look for:
• Dark-colored vegetables, like kale, spinach, broccoli and beets.
• Berries—blue, black and red.
• Cherries and plums.
Also, when firing up the grill, throw on some salmon, trout, mackerel or other fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the brain.
And, finally, don't forget that all-time favorite summer food—corn on the cob. It's a brain pleaser too. Don't slather it with butter, however. Eating too many foods high in cholesterol and saturated fat, like butter, may raise the risk for Alzheimer's disease.

The development of Ghazeer, the second phase of the giant Khazzan gas field in Oman, is approved.
BP plc announced Monday that, together with its partner Oman Oil Company Exploration & Production, it has approved the development of Ghazeer, the second phase of the giant Khazzan gas field in Oman.
The final investment decision (FID) for Ghazeer follows the successful start-up of Khazzan's first phase of development in September 2017. This project, which started production ahead of schedule and under budget, is now producing at design capacity of around 1 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas per day and around 35,000 barrels per day of condensate, BP revealed.
"Following the successful startup of Khazzan, we are pleased to announce the sanction of Ghazeer, BP's first project FID of 2018," Yousuf Al Ojaili, president of BP Oman, said in a company statement.
"Through the transfer of industry-leading skills and technology from BP's global portfolio, we look forward to further developing this gas field that is expected to support Oman's energy needs for many decades to come," the BP president added.
Ghazeer is expected to come onstream in 2021 and deliver an additional 0.5 bcf of gas and over 15,000 barrels of condensate per day.
BP is the operator of Block 61, which contains the Khazzan field, holding a 60 percent interest. The Oman Oil Company Exploration & Production holds the remaining 40 percent interest.

Gondoliers: Tonight's Whispering
Tonight's Whispering
"GONDOLIERS are back to pave your ears with that mighty steamroller of rambling guitar-synth terror." – The Boston Hassle
The most unsettling trio of noisemakers on any plane of existence today, Gondoliers, are set to release their first record on Midriff Records on November 19, 2013. The album, Tonight's Whispering,dives headlong into twisted worlds. The vinyl version of Tonight's Whispering is a split release between Midriff Records and the 100% Breakfast label (844 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge, MA 02139). Tonight's Whispering is a fury of noise-pop wonder and tension.
Tonight's Whispering is full of poison vapor synths and the hailstorm guitars that Gondoliers has been mapping out for the past few years behind the demented navigation of vocalist John Manson. Here, the band distills their sickened mind-meld of generations of the thorniest rock possible – laserstorm prog, the gnarled electronics of Einsturzende Neubauten, the off-balance drums of Jawbox, guitars that swerve between Duane Denison and Thurston Moore all with the looseness and fun of a Pavement album.
Gondoliers – which was originally Daniel Madri (Joy, the Jack McCoys, Godboy) on guitar and synths and Brendan Gibson on drums – had released a handful of instrumental records as a two-piece before hooking up with Manson for their first stab at recording together in 2011. Manson was already one of the most recognizable performers in the Boston, MA area. He'd spent years howling through gas masks and bashing battered metal drums in Neptune, fronting the Young Sexy Assassins from behind an onstage desk, and courting awkward moments with the junkyard Vangelis atmospherics of Magic People. From outside of clubs and basement bulkheads, you'd hear his voice carry over the rest of the band's cacophony in its telltale crazed oration, one long and unfolding nightmare sermon. He was a perfect fit for the Gondoliers' bleak sci-fi assault.
The re-launched band took to blasting rickety basement shows with blinding floodlights and overwhelming noise. Gondoliers come at the whole thing with a metaphysical trickster detachment. They dress in coveralls, they dress in hard hats. They wrap themselves in plastic backyard sports equipment and spill cheap beer all over the house.
There are sleek, ice cold synth pads from '80s dystopian night clubs. There are uncomfortable guitars tangled up and discarded from post-hardcore garbage trucks. Sickened images from feverish dreams slip past it in an oily fog. The band conjures a mish-mash of John Carpenter films playing melted and out of order at all the wrong speeds. Casts of pilgrims, castaways, backyard hobos, lusting visitors with little wrists, archrivals, and narcissistic artists jump out of shadows. The band changes directions without the slightest warning. Gondoliers are a dangerous, messy band. Part twisted dance band, part jarring noise band, but not without familiarity. Like an old art damaged drinking buddy, Tonight's Whispering pulls you in with its eccentricities and does things that stick in your craw for months after they've left. It's a strange world and Gondoliers are cool with it.

Everybody loves Papa P. Not only because of his good looks but his good outlook in life and good performance in whatever he does. Joining the beautiful Iya Villania was the Ultimate Heartthrob Piolo Pascual as product ambassadors of Silka Papaya Soap last Tuesday at 55 Events Place in Scout Rallos, Quezon City. Cosmetique Asia Corporation, the makers of Silka Papaya Soap proudly introduced its newest brand ambassador in Piolo Pascual sharing the same journey to success through consistent hardwork and professionalism.
Piolo shared to us how admired the remarkable corporate background of Silka now certified as the no.1 beauty soap in the Philippines. Silka's lucky charm Iya Villania who was admired and awarded being an actress-model, best known for her long VJ stint in top music channel MYX joined the stage with Piolo sharing the same stories of success with the company.
Iya may have moved out of ABS-CBN but she's enjoying her performances and new adventures in GMA's Sunday All-Stars. I've been using Silka Papaya Soap every year after a long day at the beach and seeing Piolo in Silka's new TVC will inspire many of today to keep reaching their dreams. Now that Piolo had become an endorser of Silka, many Filipinos will no longer feel shy aiming for that fairer and whiter complexion. It's actually not just the soap but the inspiration that Silka shares that kept me using it. Are you also a Silka Papaya soap user? For more information, please visit www.cosmetiqueasia.com and like their official Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/SilkaSkincare/ and follow @silkaskincare on Twitter and Instagram for more updates.

At lunch time the entire community has a massive picnic on the lawn around our dining hall. The kitchen staff today put out an amazing feast of different deli meats, a few types of salads, grilled meats, veggies and cheeses for make-your-own-nachos, and an array of fresh fruits and homemade cupcakes.

|Tickled Pink 2015 (I don't have pictures from last year's...strange)
The event is a 12 hour sew-in...dinner included! There is some free sew time, eating time (all the time), silent auction and raffle time, group bee-sewing time of a huge charity quilt (raffled off the following year at Relay for Life) and after midnight there is "mystery quilt" time.
Last year the event's theme was Toes in the Sand...and I picked some cute fabric 1/3 yard cuts I had in my stash that were very beachy for the "mystery quilt".
And got to sewing...well, at least as much as I could functioning on no sleep at 2 in the morning!
I sent the quilt to Missouri Star Quilt Co for long-arm quilting...
...FLIP-FLOPS! How perfect is that!
I just love how everything turned out...this one may find a permanent place in my home...hmmm
Some Stats for the quilt:
Size: 68" X 74"
Quilting: Missouri Star Quilting - flip-flops
Started: 10/15/16
Finished: 02/10/17
Fabric Used: All stash, but not all scraps
This makes finish #3 for 2017...and 44 remaining UFO's (8 remaining on the 1stQ List)

Today on facebook i sent a friend TWO videos (from my iPhone 5) The phone had TWO videos on it, one was a render of a mate with a dinosaur, the 2nd was the same video with a sort of News Reel overlay & a filter effect. Both these videos where sent one at a time one after the other.
Video 1 runtime = 0.20 seconds
Video 2 runtime = 0.19 Seconds
What arrived first in my friends fb inbox was a 1.19 second music video and then my video 1 arrived & my video 2 vanished
Note that i only had the TWO videos on my phone and both are well under 1.20..
But imagine just what that video could of been.. has anyone else received a wrong video or photo?, this is pretty scary i mean hell im glad it wasn't porn & it was just a music video, lucky i don't collect porn, but regardless of that, the Music Video wasn't mine anyway.. nor was it on my phone too.
This aint even a sticky finger on a laptop pad that's dragged an advert to a message box.. i was on the FB messenger app and i sent two videos to two people, and in each case facebooks server Switched my first video attachment for another attachment....
Crazy thing is (when i play video 1 & 2 on my phone, they are now correct) when my friends play them, the first video is still Wrong.. and they are also on phones.. To add the conundrum, when i watch it on Firefox (i still get the music video, but on my phone they now work) TBH ide of never believed him if id not seen it my self, let alone two people seeing (as they know each other and could be pullin my leg) . i mean would u believe this if you didn't see it your self?
check out the Video.. this is just insane.. 1.19 it says it is, i even checked to see if the last 19 seconds where mine.. they are not..
I have reached out to facebook and i hope they get back to me because this is WRONG on sooo many levels & as usual with social media.. the public need to be aware this can happen & that it has happened : /
It would be bad enough if they had received a different video in place of the one i sent, but the fact they both got the same video with Ec.Edits NRK and SKAM on it i dooooon't fekin know.... How many got the video, how many googled the names, googled any of the text?, is this evidence of FB being hacked.. only google can say how much those words have been searched by people lookin to see if their was a page talking about it.
My iPhone has the latest iOS, my Wifi is not only encrypted but its also set only to allow specific devices defined by the mac address of the device... two people, 2 separate uploads & a file name problem as fb has encoded & sent the video.. i wonder who got my video.
As you can see in my video on youtube that facebook have looked into it and changed something because on the phone app i can see the real video (but my friends accounts still cant) and i still cant on firefox.. but i can on the iOS app
this is really naughty....
they have released an app update but erm...
|This is a 3rd user received the same music video
This is the file name causing the problems with facebook is IMG_6137.mov
I got a response saying the usual thank you for your report and we will use the information to improve our services.. They mean security right?.. (i have now saved this 1.19 video directly to my device as evidence and time stamp) I would like to know where my video went THREE TIMES (its not even on youtube, it was a clip sent to two lads who where in the movie the clip was from) Our Movie,, we own it.. where did it go.. and does the artist know that FB have been informed yet they are still allowing fb videos in messages & pirating that artists music video in the process : /
Imagine if the Touch screen was Off set and it sent the video next to the one i wanted to send.. even that would of made sense (if the video had been on my phone to begin with) What's worse, sending a video i didn't want to.. or a video i didn't even have to send in the first place?.. Way to goo technology.. and i'm a nerd ffs.. i understand how most things work : /
I am a Composer.. Singer Song Writer.. Video Editor, Graphic Designer.. and Facebook send a music video like that (in place of my video) Sent In My Name.. Like i am recommending it?.. OR like that is my submission to what a client has asked my company for?.. and the reply they get FROM ME IN MY NAME is some unsolicited pirated video!!! RAMIFICATIONS are ENDLESS to my career here.. Send a video of a family member to another family member and porn arrives i mean wtf, how the hell can 1 video go to three people & the three people all get the wrong video and the one they get is the same, has facebook been hacked?, or genuine problem with the code?.
They are staying pretty tight lipped, meanwhile the ramifications that this DID happen means more than looking and fixing is needed. Sending any messages through a system that can Alter the attachments is a Nightmare.. Makes you realise its still just CODE.. this could happen to google hang outs, skype, yahoo.. you name it, this could happen (messengers, email, text message) : /
I would like to know where ALL my message attachments land.. doesn't matter how good you are with computers.. When a website as big as FB can make you look a PR*ck.... a Nonse, a Creep or what ever..
Still no news from facebok its self today, so i have thrown the question & the problem in the facebook help community here
to think.. all business embarrassment aside.... this kinda error could lead to divorces depending on what a partner receives.
UPDATE: 13th April 2016
Still no news or information from Facebook,.. but what i did notice today was an update for WhatsApp to which recently ive been looking at what Changes are Implemented within updates.
Check out the Update Description...
So since January 2010 anyone has been able to read messages, see videos, images and listen to your calls as they travel from device to device? just erm wtaf..
But lets add more often unknown depth to that... Facebook Bought whatsapp in February 2014 and today comes this update that admits for the last 6 years people could access everything you do?
.... Ironic really and scary that the issue i had with the Fb messenger is worse than this blow as they admit to the app not being actually secure for the last 6 years of its existence while Millions have been using it?... as They replaced my attachment on their end (with the facebook messenger) that is a Flaw even end to end Encryption also wont solve.. It'll still be the wrong attachment arriving right?
How good is the encryption, how much has it been tested, how long has it been tested for.. does a message get signed and WONT open on the other END of its been modified.. OR if fb decide to Replace an attachment will it warn the user and Not allow it to be opened.. who the fk works for these places.. omfg : /
Read the Wiki page under the WhatsApp, scroll down to Encryption and Understand wtf you folks are depending on, learn how this gear works & how it Should work yet doesn't, Also read the section under Security, Privacy, see what Wiki also have to say about the FB messenger ;)
Interesting little fact that Facebook Discontinued software development "an official Messenger APP Windows 7" and also an "Official FireFox plugin" both scrapped in March 2014 (just after buying whatsApp in the february of the same year) Check out the Section under RECEPTION on the Facebook Messenger Wiki Page.. fk all is secure (Once It has Arrived) It's got a 2 out of 7 on the score card : /
Do not for one moment think email is safer...
Look how many of you Refuse to give facebook Your mobile number....
Yet 800 million monthly users of whatsApp (aka facebook messenger 2)
They have given up the phone number (to facebook) under the whatsApp Terms of use on the App... because FB own whatsApp
As of 21st of April facebook closed the case, so they had 10 days (it took 10 days to fix)? was that 10 days attachments and messages were unsafe and their Intended Destination wasn't fully under their control?? well who knows.. but after such a Risky Glitch is pointed out & my privacy and someones music getting Pirated.. what did they have to say....
ALL OF YOU.. would be dismayed if you sent a Text or an Email and not only was what you sent arriving in someone elses inbox.. BUT on top of that the person you messaged or emailed received a Video OR other ATTACHMENT you have never laid eyes on right?... 3 devices, 3 accounts same result.. 20+ years computer experience says thats wrong.. regardless of common sense.
Hard to believe how much crap i witness and people wonder why certain types of incompetence Frustrates me, If this subject above doesn't worry you after reading this then clearly your an idiot & i couldn't care less if you don't understand or you feel offended.. get off the net seriously, your a danger to others sanity.. Think about what happened here.. more than once.. this shouldn't even be possible in 2016.. let alone Ignored.. and way to go for the Liverpool Echo FB page and the iPapder FB page for reading yet not responding over this privacy flaw.. Heavens forbid you should report this kinda news and warn people their private messages aren't private if your not guaranteed who will receive them..
UPDATE 7th June 2016 at 17:35 UK Time.. it only went an fkn happened again.. i sent a 1:30 video, the other person received a 1.03 video, and its not the video i sent, ive not Played it, so ive not buffered it.. so its NEVER been on any of my devices... So i can no longer trust facebook to deliver my video messages WTF.. wonder if this report will get a human this time or another worthless automated fkn bot
Someone tell them its something to do with the way devices Name the videos on the camera roll to how facebook handles the files storage by name...
UPDATE: February 2017
Well as of February 2017 this flaw and breach of privacy is still on going, the youtube video has had multiple comments from users who have suffered the same fate and Today i got a pmessage from a gentleman in germany who has just encountered the same problem and was looking for advice.
I am still at a loss as to why its based on filename and not MD5 hash codes.
also notice if you read the post i made on facebook, they never got back to me and yet "they closed the topic" as you can see.

Mark Nale | Bald Eagle trout tournament slated for next weekend
The soaking rains of April 10 and 12 made most local streams high and somewhat cloudy for Saturday's opening of trout season.
Water temperatures on local freestone streams were also in the low 40s.
Successful anglers adapted by using weight to get their bait deeper in the water, fishing more slowly, or fishing the stream edges – where stocked trout move to avoid the swifter currents.
Another successful strategy is selecting a forested headwater stream that is less affected by the heavy rain. Poe Lake, Cold Stream Dam and other impoundments are also good choices because they are not affected by higher flows.
High water conditions usually mean that that there are ample numbers of stocked trout still in the streams after the opening weekend. Beginning Monday, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission stocking trucks will again be rolling – adding more stocked trout to many area streams.
Trout Tournament
Another trout fishing opportunity that always draws a big crowd of anglers is the Bald Eagle Creek Trout Tournament – to be held April 20-21. The contest, centered in Port Matilda, annually attracts between 700-1000 participants.
Over eight miles of Bald Eagle Creek in Worth Township, Taylor Township and Port Matilda Borough will be the setting for the 15th annual Bald Eagle Creek Trout Tournament next weekend. The two-day contest will run from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., on Saturday, April 20, and will resume at 6 a.m., on Sunday, April 21. The tournament ends at 4 p.m., on April 21.
The stream sections for this year's contest include many easily accessed areas, such as the Port Matilda Community Park, as well as great walk-in-only fishing opportunities for those who like to get away from the crowds.
The tournament area on Bald Eagle Creek extends from just north of the Hannah United Methodist Church, to Steele Hollow Road - 1.3 miles north of the old Route 322 bridge at the base of Skytop Mountain. Tagged trout are spread out as evenly as possible throughout this length of stream.
More than 500 trout will be tagged and released into Bald Eagle Creek before the event. The club stocks an additional 200 bonus-tagged trout worth $10 each for the second day of the tournament.
"We are proud of the fact that we stock 200 more tagged trout for contestants fishing on Sunday," said tournament organizer Mark Jackson. "No other tournament stocks extra trout for second-day anglers. We do this to show our appreciation for the many fishermen and women who come out and help with our fundraiser each year."
According to tournament organizers, tagged fish will be valued from $10 to $1,000 – coded to the numbers printed on the plastic tags. Although the final figures were not yet in, they expect that $15,000 to $17,000 worth of tagged fish will be stocked. This will include one $1,000, two $500 trout, as well as a few $250 and $100 fish, and many $50, $20 and $10 trout. Last year's total tagged trout prize package was valued at just shy of $17,000 cash.
M&T Bank, the Family Clothesline and American Legion Wilson Patton Post 536 are the main sponsors for this year's charity event.
All registered anglers may also elect to participate in the "Big Trout Contest." To be eligible, each participant must contribute an additional $10 prior to the start of the tournament. The qualified participant catching the largest tagged trout will receive a trophy and a large percentage of the funds collected for the big trout contest. Additional Big Trout place winners will receive cash awards, as well. According to tournament organizers, the total Big Trout payout will equal 50 percent of the money collected for the Big Trout Contest.
Last year, Nathan Poust of Muncy landed a 20.75-inch trout to take the top prize of $850 and a trophy. Chris Luse's 19-inch trout earned $510 and an 18.5-inch trout won Nathan Sephens $340.
Jackson stressed that this was a catch-and-release tournament. "All tagged trout must be alive when brought in to claim prizes and this includes the Big Trout Contest."
Prize money for several tagged trout was not paid last year because the fish had died before they were brought to a check station. "To avoid a dead trout, anglers should bring tagged trout to a check station immediately," Jackson said.
Although large plastic bags will be handed out at the registration booth, Jackson emphasized that the best bet for keeping trout alive and healthy is to bring your own five-gallon bucket or a large cooler. Keep the trout in fresh, clean stream water with no ice. He also suggested that, if a trout is hooked deeply, anglers should not try to remove the hook, but instead they should just clip the line.
Only registered anglers can win prizes. Tournament badges must be displayed while fishing. Anglers 16 years of age and older must have a 2013 Pennsylvania fishing license and trout stamp. Anglers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian or have written permission to participate. Anglers can register or participant badges may be picked up at the Port Matilda Fire Hall between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., on Friday, and starting at 4 a.m., on Saturday, April 20. The entry fee is $20 for adults and $15 for youths under 16.
According to Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission rules, a maximum of five tagged trout per angler may be turned in each day.
The Port Matilda Sportsmen's Club will provide food during the tournament, beginning with a breakfast at 4 a.m., on Saturday. There will also be an early-morning Sunday breakfast. Yingling's Bait Hut will offer bait and tackle for last-minute fishing needs. The food and tackle will be offered at the Port Matilda Sportsmen's Club, which also serves as headquarters for the event.
Last year's winners used everything from Powerbait to flies to land prize trout. Waxworms were a favorite of many anglers, but according to Jackson, there is no single preferred bait or lure.
"I always suggest that anglers stick with the bait and methods that have been successful for them on other streams. It is important to have faith in what you are using," Jackson offered. "For me, fly fishing would be an unlikely choice for a fishing contest like this, but we have several fishermen who are successful using flies every year."
All proceeds from the contest benefit the Bald Eagle Sportsmen's Club. Each year, the club raises thousands of trout that are stocked in over 25 streams in a five-county area. They also provide the trout for 10 children's fishing derbies, which are all free and open to the public. The first children's derby scheduled for this year will be held at the Port Matilda Community Park on April 27.
"Last year, we started a $50,000 project to construct concrete raceways at our trout nursery," Jackson said. "This would not have been possible without the proceeds from the tournament."

Recognizing that two programs are not necessarily better than one, Sharp HealthCare and UC San Diego Health announced a joint program that will enhance liver transplantation services in San Diego County.
"Patients with end-stage liver disease require complex and costly care, from the time they are diagnosed with liver failure to post-surgical care," says Dr. Tarek Hassanein, a gastroenterologist and liver transplant specialist who serves as a medical director of the joint program. "By combining resources, this alliance will strengthen clinical services for these patients while reducing costs."
According to the American Liver Foundation, more than 30 million Americans — roughly 1 in every 10 — have some form of liver disease, of which there are more than 100. Roughly 16,000 adults and children in the U.S. are currently waiting for a liver transplant, although the number of patients in San Diego is relatively small.
Dr. Hassanein currently manages the advanced liver care program at Sharp Coronado Hospital that manages all aspects of liver disease, including pre- and post-transplant services.
"Operating as a single program with the same transplant team throughout the entire process will give patients a more seamless experience," adds Hassanein. "It's a great benefit to not only both health systems, but also to our patients."
Dan Gross, Sharp HealthCare's executive vice president of hospital operations, says the decision to collaborate is a prudent one — not only because of the tremendous resources required for liver transplantation, but also the relatively low volume of patients in the community in need of such advanced liver care services.
"This endeavor follows our highly successful joint bone marrow transplant program that we have had with UC San Diego Health since 1999," says Gross. "Preventing program duplication while meeting community health care needs and driving down health care costs is rewarding."
Gross notes that under the new partnership, UC San Diego Health and Sharp will collaborate on the pre-transplant referral and evaluation process to assess a patient's candidacy and continued eligibility for a donor organ on the United Network for Organ Sharing liver transplant wait list.
All liver transplant surgeries in this partnership will be performed at UC San Diego Health. Sharp will continue its development of advanced liver care under the program at Sharp Coronado.
The arrangement also includes provisions for UC San Diego Health and Sharp to collaborate on clinical and academic research programs to further improve the quality and efficiency of liver transplant services. In addition, the program is expanding its reach in Southern California in collaboration with Southern California Liver Centers.
For the news media: To talk with Dr. Hassanein about the Sharp HealthCare-UC San Diego joint liver transplant program for an upcoming story, contact Erica Carlson, senior public relations specialist, at email@example.com.

Survival Status
The survival status of a white tiger is pretty much extinct in the wild. It is very rare to see a white tiger outside of the zoo. Most white tigers that are born are killed by predators because they are young and easily stand out. Another reason these animals are close to being extinct is because hunters kill them for their precious organs and their beautiful fur.

In order to register a child in our school, parents are asked to bring proof of age & proof of residence (proof of residence is only required for new registrations to the Sooke School District, or for families that do not have a child currently attending the school and have recently moved into the catchment area).
All registrations will be at your neighbourhood school. If you wish your child to attend another school other than the one in your catchment area then register first at your neighbourhood school and get a school change request form signed by the Principal and then register at the school of your choice. You will then be put on a waitlist.
While most, if not all, students living in a school's local catchment will be accommodated at that school, students cannot be guaranteed placement in the catchment area school and may be required to go to the nearest school with room.
You can download our form in order to speed up your child's registration in the school.

text: I recently noticed a pretty uniform film of oil on the top cover of my T-9. I know that there is a small breather hole in the cover (original from the manufacturer). Have I overfilled the gearbox? I believe that I have a liter or so of Lubrimoly 75-90 GL-5 in it. Theres is no leakage from anywhere else on the motor or the transmission. I guess that when I next pull the drivetrain, I will install a hose and route it to a catch can. Ant other thoughts on it?

Letris Power iOS Game Download
Bear with us one second. A game company called Ivanovich Games sent us a confusing press release about two of their games, Letris 2 and Letris Power where they blended elements of Tetris and Scrabble like Ben & Jerry's combination of cookies & cream ice cream with chocolate fudge brownies to make their Half Baked ice cream flavor. They have made a great game harder than Tetris and Scrabble. Consumers can play both Letris 2 and Letris Power for free on the ios platform. Conceptually the games' concepts are simple and we suspect many game developers will say "Hey, why didn't I think of that? Oh wait, I'll just clone it." If you haven't noticed many game developers clone other game developers original game concepts because they lack creativity. (more…)

Lately, life has been going 598 miles an hour and I feel like i can hardly keep up. I feel this pressure sometimes to take the pictures and share all the updates but when it doesn't feel natural i've made a deal with myself. If sitting down and writing doesn't come natural, I need to do everyone a favor and wait until it does. Nothing is more annoying than a forced post of information that lacks value. So rest assured sitting here today, in my living room as Rosie plays with cups and Wyatt attempts to put a sock on a blue building block, that I am happy to be writing today!
Welcome to Friday Roundup, a random slew of updates about our life from family updates, home details and always ending with a happy thought or two!
I turned 28!
Weird right?! Isn't it funny when you get to an age and you're like "I thought by (insert number) i would have four kids, a house, two dogs ect.." I swear i thought by 28 i would have had at least 4 children but life has a funny way of showing us our plans are not in our hands. If i had four kids right now i think i would be in the loony bin. Anyways, I had an amazing birthday, and adorable Gavin actually planned an entire birthday party for me with my immediate family. I had mentioned a long time ago i wanted to go Central Coast Archery and practice and he put that in his memory bank and planned an afternoon there. We loved it, Wyatt was in heaven and you can see he was super focused.Special thanks to our friends KK and Joel for hosting us! Anyone ever try something new and before you go you think, "This could be it, my sport" and then your first try you're horrible? Yea, that was me hahah! It was such a blast and I love the idea of always trying new things!
Three Day Trip to Kauai
Ever heard of a three day trip to Kauai, me either! I was lucky enough to sneak over to the Island for a hot second to celebrate my sister getting married and Rosie and I had such blast! I can't wait for the day to get here, September 29th! I am the maid of honor and writing this post reminds me i need to start my speech!
Red Tagged.
Sounds about as horrible as it sounds. We got a total hault on the construction side of our Farmhouse but thankfully Mr. Hurst, from the city has been nothing short of amazing working with us! We are back on schedule and I am so happy to announce we have an architect, Kyle Harris! He so graciously offered to take on our project despite his busy schedule. Although we have to wait to get our plans in order before we start building anything back up, we still have lots of work on landscape and details in the meantime so we are still going full force. Plus, the amount of packages that are coming in make me feel like a kid on Christmas every single day!
Ro is 1!
Cue the tears. Felt like yesterday I was writng all about her birth story. She is such a joy, so happy, so obsessed with Wyatt and everything she does. What I love is that she genuinely loves her people, her eyes light up when she is with them. I always tell myself I hope she loves me like i love my mom and as of now she's a pretty big mamas girl. We did a super small party with a cake from Arroyo Grande Bakery and sang to her outside. I love small birthdays.
Hope you guys have the best weekend! Rosie is trying to eat the dog food so ill end here!!

Measuring for Window Blinds - Best Practice
* Always use a metal tape measure.
* Check width and drop measurements in several places to avoid irregularities in dimensions.
* Allow for obstructions caused by tiles,dado rails or window handles and catches.
* Always measure the WIDTH first then the DROP.
Inside Recess
Just give the width and drop of the recess exactly, with no deductions, we do that. it is advisable to measure both ends of the drop in case the window recess is irregular, likewise with the width should be checked both at top and bottom of recess.
Outside Recess
Decide how much you wish to overlap the recess at each side and top and bottom then measure the overall size. Make sure you clearly state width and drop. We suggest that you measure 4" above recess.

Danger Will Robinson!
The 'chick is not exactly sure which brother came up with the bright idea that Mom needed a computer. Roadchick's mom is not exactly tech savvy and not much of an adventurer. But, she wanted to feel like she was a part of the 21st century and so, a computer was selected and purchased.
Actually, several computers were selected and purchased and returned or sold.
The cycle began about two years ago. Roadchick's mom decided she needed a laptop. So she could be "on the line". Yeah.
Roadchick, being a dutiful daughter, took Mom shopping for a laptop. Mom could afford a computer capable of launching the Space Shuttle. The laptop she picked out was so sweet that it made the 'chick weep with envy but also brought a ray of hope to her blackened heart, thinking Mom would soon tire of this new activity and the 'chick would be on the receiving end of some very sweet technology.
A week went by. Mom called. She was ready, she announced, to take the laptop out of the box.
What the fuck?
If Roadchick had bought that computer, it would've been out of the box before she ever made it across the parking lot to the car.
Roadchick went over to Mom's house and prepared to Set Up The Computer.
A sharp knife was on hand to slice the security tape sealing the box. She was poised, ready to cut.
Maybe this wasn't a good idea - after all, so many years without a computer, why start now?
She returned the laptop to the store and there was a vast and grateful silence across the countryside.
About six months ago, the computer virus (because it has to be something that causes relapses) reared its ugly head again. This time, Mom went to the brothers.
Eldest brother guided her through the selection process and again, a sweet laptop was purchased and delivered. A wireless mouse. Internet service from the cable company was ordered and installed. She got a wireless router, for God's sake.
Mom played with it for about a week, then decided it was not for her.
For the love . . .
The laptop was sold to a business associate of elder brother.
An E-Machine was selected and purchased. Eldest brother was once again enlisted in the set-up. Middle brother's mad computer skillz were also called into play. Everything was ready to go.
Except they didn't finish the install of Microsoft Word.
Except they didn't teach her how to open an email attachment.
Except they didn't teach her how to REPLY to an email.
Except one of them, curse his blackened soul, told her that if she ever saw a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it, it was a PROBLEM that MUST BE DEALT WITH RIGHT AWAY BEFORE THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS COULD LAUNCH AND BRING ANNIHILATION UPON ALL MANKIND.
Except they didn't tell her to call them for technical assistance.
The call came at 4:00 this afternoon, just as the 'chick was settling into the hot, hot car after a long day at work.
The Yellow Triangle Of Doom had reared its ugly head and the 'chick must come fix it RIGHT AWAY.
Never mind that the 'chick had other activities planned.
So . . . the triangle?
It was telling her that it was time to run a virus scan.
Rest easy.
The Free World is safe.
Until next week, when it's time to scan again.

This Is The Way We Wash Our Clothes
Sometimes, the 'chick likes to be shocking. To throw something out there that no one was expecting. Redneck got a dose of this little personality quirk recently.
Since the 'chick has been so busy for work and on the road so much, her personal laundry got a little neglected. That is why women should have large wardrobes with lots of clothing options. The 'chick has worn a different outfit every day for several weeks and not repeated anything twice. This includes a very LARGE dresser drawer full of bras and panties. Enough so that the 'chick never had to resort to wearing her Christmas panties in June because everything else was in the hamper.
Hamper? Who are we kidding? The laundry overflowed the hamper about two weeks ago and has since spread across the closet (walk-in, fortunately) like a slowly growing ground cover.
So, time to do the laundry.
Redneck was kicked back on the bed, watching a movie when the 'chick decided it was time to face the situation - that no one was going to take a hint and do her laundry. He wasn't paying much attention to what was going on at first, being totally absorbed in cars and buildings blowing up and aliens and half-clad women prancing across the screen, but eventually, he looked over to see what was going on.
The 'chick was sorting laundry into piles.
Jeans and dark clothes - check.
White t-shirts and tops - check.
Clothing that required some sort of special attention - check.
All this looked pretty normal to Redneck.
Then his gaze wandered to another pile.
"What's all that?"
"Panties and bras."
"But there is enough for two loads there."
"Yeah - so?"
"Don't you think that you might have a problem?"
"You know that the 'chick hasn't been home to do the laundry."
"No, that's not what I mean. What I mean is - you haven't done laundry in a long time. You have not worn anything twice. And there are still bras and panties in the dresser."
Blank look from Roadchick.
Silence from Roadchick.
"'Chick, there are very few people in the world that keep a three month supply of bras and panties on hand for emergencies."
"Then that explains the smell on airplanes, doesn't it?"

An Open Letter
Dear Swimwear Designer,
First of all, please accept our thanks for discovering the wonderful world of the "tankini". It makes good sense to allow women everywhere to choose the correct size for both top and bottom. This is a good thing.
So, please, don't take it the wrong way when we point out that, for some of us, the ones that Mother Nature has been . . . generous with . . .the cute, adorable suits do not quite fit, exactly. The bottoms are great - couldn't be better. The problem is with the tops.
The tops. Where to begin?
See, Swimwear Designer, some of us actually have breasts, boobs, casaba melons - whatever term gets your heart racing. And sometimes, our bodies are not really in proportion. (Think Pamela Anderson. Think Anna Nicole Smith. Think Dolly Parton.)
And when our bodies are not in proportion, we have a problem finding swimwear if we cannot afford to have our own swimwear designer available to whip up custom sized pieces.
In order to find tops that fit and cover more than a bandaid, we have to look at the misses' and women's sizes. Now, please, sit down for this next part - who in the hell told you that larger women (no matter WHY they are larger) actually like wild purple floral prints that look like Grandma on acid? Whoever led you astray should be shot. Honey, no one looks good in that shit.
Is there a particular reason that you, Swimwear Designer, think that women who need a little more coverage can't have the cute styles and patterns too? Is there a reason that you cannot just extend the style all the way up the size range?
Let the 'chick give you an example.
There was an adorable white eyelet tankini. The bottoms were fabulous. The top, well, not so good. Maybe as a bandana to hold back her hair. As a swim top suitable for public wear? Uh uh, nope, no way.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated by women everywhere.

Midsummer's Night Dream
June 21st marks the summer solstice. For people living in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the day with the longest span of daylight. Starting tomorrow, daylight will begin to shorten bit by bit and it will start getting darker earlier.
"Just for fun, my family invented a religion like the Shakers we called Stillwater. I'm eldress, and we have a big celebration on Midsummer's Eve. It's really a state of mind. Stillwater connotes something very peaceful, you see, life without stress. Nowadays, people are so jeezled up. If they took some chamomile tea and spent more time rocking on the porch in the evening listening to the song of the hermit thrust, they might enjoy life more.
Stillwater believers are very hedonistic. Life is to be enjoyed, not saddled with. Do you know that lovely quotation from Fra Giovanni? He was an old monk from away back who wrote to his patron, 'The gloom of the world is but a shadow: behind it, yet within our reach, is joy. Take joy.' That's the first commandment of the Stillwater religion. Joy is there for the taking."
~ Tasha Tudor, from The Private World of Tasha Tudor
In honor of the day, following the grand traditions of a variety of spiritual beliefs worldwide ~ Pagan, Catholic, Stillwater, and others. . . the 'chick is going to take a break tonight, sit on the deck, enjoy the evening, and relax.
Take joy.

Roughin' It
Are we there yet?
Y'all, that is what the trip to Gatlinburg and the trip back from Gatlinburg was like for the 'chick.
It's been a LOOOOONG time since she's had to travel with a nine-year-old boy.
It's funny how easy it is to forget that boys are never quiet and never still. They are difficult to amuse for less than $9 kazillion dollars a day. They always want to eat. They don't want to visit "Sites Of Interest". They want to race go-karts.
(Actually, Roadchick wanted to race go-karts too, so she can't say too much about that one.)
The "family" trip to Gatlinburg included a free place to stay - Best Friend's husband works in Knoxville during the week and offered to let the Roadie Crew use his apartment over the weekend. Being a typical man, away from the tender loving care of his wife, his apartment contained the following:
Navy blue leather recliner, used
TV tray
End table
TV on end table
Stereo (on floor)
DVD/VCR combo (on floor)
6000 VHS movies (on floor)
4 DVD movies (on floor)
Air mattress
3 plastic food storage containers
3 plastic glasses
Jello pudding snacks
Hot dogs
3 towels
Bar of soap
Toilet paper, 1-ply
But, it was free and it was quiet and more than adequate for the 'chick's purposes. She did not go to the mountains to sit in an apartment. And it was free. And close to a Hooter's (which was probably a big selling point to Best Friend's husband).
Unfortunately, all fun things must come to an end and the 'chick had to return to work. And that's exactly what it's been - work. A LOT of work. The 'chick hasn't seen the inside of her Nashville office in what seems like weeks and there's no telling when it will get better.
Good news is, the 'chick has entered the 21st century. Her lovely, wonderful bosses bought her a new laptop that has wireless. Amazing. Amazing technology. It's wonderful. Wonderfully amazing.
The 'chick's neighbors would likely be amazed to know that the 'chick's new laptop picks up their wireless signal when she is at home, perched on her bed, trying to finish up notes and reports. Makes life wonderfully simple, really.
It's nice to have good neighbors.

Redneck, Roadchick, and the boys went to Gatlinburg last weekend.
Overheard from the back seat:
Skaterboy (age 9): I want a tattoo.
Rockboy (age 17): Of what?
Skaterboy: A naked lady.
Rockboy: Where are you going to put it?
Skaterboy: On my muscle.
Rockboy: Well, when you get a muscle, we'll get you a tattoo.

Hey guys, below is an embedded video from Greg Boyd, who is my favorite spokesperson on the openness of God. Please feel free to engage with what is said here.
It is no secret I agree with the majority of Boyd's arguments. Enjoy and watch all parts if possible before commenting or trying to prove why you think my rejection of a repressed platonic view within Christianity is heretical.

A6-6400K 3.90GHz (Socket FM2) APU Richland Dual Core Processor (AD640KOKHLBOX)The AMD A6-6400K Black Edition in some ways is all the CPU you will ever need. With 2 cores and a stock speed of 3.90GHz, which automatically turbo's upto 4.10GHz when required, this CPU can handle anything you throw at it. Even more impressive is the overclocking ability of these processors with some reaching near and over 5GHz on air cooling.
The main and best feature of the A6-6400k is the onboard IGP, the HD 8470D which is equivalent in gaming performance to a HD 6650 and can actually play any game including the latest titles with low/moderate quality settings. In our own testing Borderlands 2 at 1680x1050 with all details on low/medium was more than playable, with smooth frame rates. However it is very important with the FM2 platform to use high speed memory as the onboard IGP gets a serious performance boost with faster memory upto 2400MHz.
For those who require more graphics performance, adding a HD 6670 / HD 7750 to the mix will enable Hybrid Crossfire giving upto approx 80% additional performance in modern gaming titles, making this new platform viable for entry level gaming machines that can play the latest gaming titles.

Customer review
Pretty Good
I've been using this stand alone no GPU no nothing but 8gb ram alongside it, but this APU with a GPU would run games brilliantly since it stand alone can run game on medium quality at around 30fps so it would smash less demanding games like CS;GO on a budget price of £48 (current market price). Recommend only for budget gaming tho since rendering is so good with long waits on 720p.
Not bad, good Budget Processor
Bought one of these for my Daughters machine. Needs fast RAM for the GPU but it runs at 34c idle with a cooler master tx3 air cooler. All in all a nice budget processor with a decent graphics chip built on
This APU is brilliant for the price. As it's dual core, the 3.9GHz really is very effective, and it can easily be overclocked to 4.4GHz without any trouble. As for the graphics, it can handle Team Fortress 2 at 60 fps on 1920x1080 and Minecraft at around 50fps, although if you get the 'Optifine' mod it easily runs at around 80.

Title: Buying In
Author: Laura Hemphill
Publisher: New Harvest
Pages: Hardcover, 304 pages
Release Date: November 5, 2013
Source: TLC Book Tours
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
HDB Rating: 2 Keys to My Heart
Recommended to: Readers who enjoy contemporary fiction, with realistic characters and situations.
Add it on: Goodreads / Shelfari / Amazon / B&N
Bright, ambitious Sophie Landgraf has landed a job as a Wall Street analyst. The small-town girl finally has her ticket to the American elite, but she doesn't realize the toll it will take—on her boyfriend, on her family, and on her. It isn't long before Sophie is floundering in this male-dominated world, and things are about to get worse.
With the financial crisis looming, Sophie becomes embroiled in a multibillion-dollar merger that could make or break her career. The problem? Three men at the top of their game, each with very different reasons for advancing the merger. Now Sophie doesn't know whom to trust—or how far she'll go to get ahead.
Set inside the high-stakes world of finance, Manhattan's after-hours clubs, and factories in the Midwest and India, this is the high-powered, heartfelt story of a young woman finding her footing on Wall Street as it crumbles beneath her. Written by an industry veteran, Buying In tackles what it means to be a woman in a man's world, and how to survive in big business without sacrificing who you are.
I've mulled this book over in my head for a few days and I've come to a conclusion. Buying In just wasn't a book for me. It's well-written. The characters are extremely realistic. Unfortunately it's that extreme realism that made it a tough read for me. Buying In almost seems to read more like non-fiction than fiction at times, and that's something I wasn't expecting.
I can honestly say I did learn a lot while reading Sophie's story though. I'm sure we all have a basic idea of how tough it is to be a woman in a male-driven industry. We all understand that it takes a lot of sacrifice. Laura Hemphill creates a character who is living this first hand. Sophie has given up her social life, her love life, and even her family for this career. She constantly has to make difficult choices between the career she wants, and the life she already has. Sophie's life felt real to me, and I felt for her because of it.
What was tough for me is how much of this book is actually industry based. There were quite a few times where I just felt like I was reading a handbook on finance. Discussions of projections, mergers, and plenty of other field related jargon made it so that I had a tough time getting through some portions of this book. I liked Sophie's story. I even felt for her coworkers. Still, I couldn't get past the fact that I had no interest in what they did for a living.
I know that there's definitely a reading group that this book will target. Laura Hemphill knows the industry like the back of her hand, and it shows in her writing. Readers who enjoy learning about the high-stakes world of finance will be drawn in by the cutthroat nature of Sophie's world. As I said, this is a really well-written book. Sadly, it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Bad Days Make Good Stories
I put new shoes on the sorrel four year old,
this morning before the sun got high.
then headed out for a half day ride.
beneath a perfect azure sky.
A sunny morning with a little breeze,
to keep the skeeters down.
A good traveling horse on a woodland trail,
a million miles from town.
Bad days make good stories,
That's what every cowboy knows,
But as I head out on a green broke mare,
I'm not craving one of those.
When everything goes like it should,
There aint that much to say,
But now and then, I kind of appreciate,
"A not much to write about day!"

- Director Nicholas Ray walked off the set. Andrew Marton and Guy Green finished the film.
- Due to mainland China's hostility and isolation from the Western world, a full-scale 60-acre replication of Peking 1900 (sewers and all) was built in the plains outside Madrid, and Chinese/Asian extras were flown in from all over Europe to provide the local Peking (the old name of Beijing) citizenry. A number of costumes for the Royal Chinese Court (the Empress, Prince Tuan's, etc.) were authentic ones from Tzu Hsi's actual court. They were loaned by an illustrious Florentine family (which wished to stay anonymous) but was able to rescue them from the collapse of the dynasty right after the Boxer rebellion.
- The film, which was shot in Spain, needed thousands of Chinese extras, and the company sent scouts throughout Spain to hire as many as they could find. The result was that many Chinese restaurants in Spain closed for the duration of the filming because the restaurant staff - often including the restaurant's owners - was hired away by the film company. The company hired so many that for several months there was scarcely a Chinese restaurant to be found open in the entire country.

Outdoor House Garden Ideas
Author: Amber Miles
There are several outdoor house garden ideas available. Garden ideas help to hide the weak points by covering them up with ingenuity. The awkward shape can be made to look like its been made that way by cleverly planning the spaces. Some amount of physical labor is needed, but that's the price one has to pay to create something so beautiful and wonderful. A sloping garden is a perfect example of how to use garden ideas. Using the garden design ideas broad stone steps can be carved out making it look like its part of the scenery. The steps could lead into a small sit out with a bench or maybe even a play area for the children with a sand pit in one corner.

September is my favorite month out of the year. It is usually a seasonal transition month, going from hot summer days to cooler fall days depending on where you live. I also have several family members who were born in this month.
The weather
The weather is one reason why I am excited to be attending SQL Saturday in Denver on September 28th. I lived in and around the Denver area in the 80's and even met my wife there. I really liked living there with the mountains, fresh air and beautiful weather. The trip will bring back fond memories of friends and family. There is a restaurant called the Blue Bonnet Café on South Broadway I am planning on fitting into the schedule. They have an out of this world Chimi Changa.
SQL Saturday Denver is offering 3 all day pre-cons on September 27th from 9-5.
Real World SSIS: A Survival Guide/Tim Mitchell
SQL Server Internals from the Practical Angle/Dmitri Korotkevitch
Predictive Analytics in the Enterprise/Carlos Bossy
Remember these are not part of the SQL Saturday registration and a separate fee. The fee includes all day training, breakfast, lunch and snacks. This is a great opportunity for an all-day training event. Go here to check them out and register fast there are limited seats and they are filling up.
My session Daily Checklist and Server Monitoring is one in a series I have called the DBA Survival Guide. I am looking forward to sharing and learning. It has been a while since I attended my last SQL Saturday. Another area I am looking forward to is meeting with new and hanging with old friends from the SQL Community. It should be a fun session and event over all.
Speaker Line up
There are 6 tracks BI, DBA, Dev/DBA, More DBA, Power BI, and Professional Development. With 8 confirmed MVPs and countless others who should be, presenting a wide variety of sessions sure to meet anyone's list of new things to learn or brush up on. Take a look at the schedule here. If you haven't registered yet and you are even thinking of attending you need to register. Today!
I have very good memories of living in Denver. I do pass through almost every year with my family during spring break as we head into the mountains but this trip will be much different. This trip will be about learning, sharing, connecting with other cool people in the SQL Community. I am sure when the weekend is over I will be adding the memories to the good side of the ledger. If you are attending SQL Saturday Denver stop and introduce yourself.

Used beverage containers. Broken skateboards. Old license plates. What do these things have in common? They can be used to make stuff that can be sold for unexpectedly high prices.
By being creative and having the right tools, even the most mundane items can be turned into big bucks.
Everyone wants to be original, so forget buying clothes and accessories off the rack. Making your own will not only fatten your wallet, it can help you and potential customers stand out from the crowd.
If you have some neckties that you (or your ex-boyfriend) will never wear again, turn them into belts. All you really have to do is cut two ties down to length (leave extra room if you want them to hang down), and stitch them together. It only takes a few minutes, and your friends are left wondering why they don't have one.
People want to be unique, but flaunting isn't exactly in style in the midst of a recession. For example, consider making a purse out of old license plates: they're even selling them at Wal-Mart, some for upwards of $100.
Or be Earth-friendly and clever at the same time by making use of those used juice pouches (think Capri Sun). They're durable, waterproof, and can be sewn together to create purses, lunch boxes, or anything within the limits of your imagination and your budget for juice.
Love duct tape? Then why not turn that unused roll into a wallet? Several shops online are dedicated to selling items made exclusively of duct tape, from hats to guitar straps to roses (in case you couldn't find a nice one to pluck), and should serve as good inspiration for your own sticky innovations.
With the right tools, you can repurpose just about any piece of wood into something unique, but time and money are limited (and let's face it, not everyone is ready to get all Bob Vila on the situation). If you find something in a thrift store or out on the curb with a nice body but horrible finish, you can sand it down, maybe add a few screws for stability's sake, and re-finish it with a nice stain or polyurethane. Bam! Instant cheap table, or bookcase, or shelf.
If your bike breaks and you're feeling especially crafty, do what Resource Revival did: turn it into cool stuff. They use simple bike chains and cogs to make everything from catch-all bowls ($88) and desk clocks ($30) to keychain bottle openers ($14). If you're a skater who's broken his or her fair share of boards, borrow an idea from DeckStool. This company turns old and broken skate decks into stools. They even use old skate trucks to hold them together. Nothing's stopping you from doing the same and beating their $200 price.
The US recycles about 34.3 percent of its trash. With the right mindset you can do your part to keep stuff out of landfills and turn a profit.

Seymour Duncan STL3 Quarter Pound Telecaster Lead Pickup (Bridge) (ex-display)
Seymour Duncan STL3 Tele quarter pound pickup
High-output true single-coil pickup for hard-hitting tones. Great for classic rock, jazz-rock fusion, heavy rock and aggressive instrumental rock.
This brute has enough power to compete with humbuckers and hot P-90s. The stronger magnetic field of the quarter-inch diameter pole pieces increases the output and allows use of a special coil winding. It keeps the high-end definition for great treble bite and a full, powerful midrange. It's especially useful for overdriven tones. The STR-3 rhythm pickup matches the lead model in tone and output, but uses 3/16 pole pieces and comes with a chrome-plated brass cover.
- Read More
Complete setup
Available for both rhythm (STR3) and lead (STL3) positions.
For all well-balanced instruments. Works equally well with maple and rosewood fingerboards.
Available mods
Both lead and rhythm versions available tapped for dual output levels.
