Lovely Hillbilly Creations
I'm once again going to sing the praises of Hillbilly Creations…
Although her Etsy store usually has a cute market tote or two, and sometimes other fun things, my favorite things are all "customs" she's created just for me.
In my last "batch" of sending her goodies to upcycle, she made an adorable purse for Jewel. (You can read the full review, and see photos of the rest of the lovely thing she made – HERE).
This time around I had a new challenge for her. I sent her a pair of Nick's old camo cargo pants, and requested something a la the Market Tote that took advantage of the pants' "coolness" in a lunch tote for Nick.
Wow! It's everything I hoped for, and more… Look at all the cool stuff:
Cargo pockets as exterior pockets.
Pants waistband as shoulder strap.
Ankle zipper as bag closure.
And lined with an old pillowcase, for full upcycle flair!
This is not a sponsored, or even requested, blog post. I'm simply sharing the wonderful work of Hillbilly Creations. Oh, and by the way, Mrs. Davis is also the SAHM of a family who lost their home in a tornado a couple of years ago. Nice Christian family that you'll help support!
One Response to "Lovely Hillbilly Creations"
How fantastic! She did a wonderful job with them!

Much of his furniture was designed to make use of the inexpensive raw materials available in Italy, in the post war years when other materials were scarce. His work, both in architecture and design, displays a commitment to a rigorous craftsmanship and elegance built on a minimalist aesthetic, unencumbered by extraneous ornamentation. From 1952 the designer and architect Franca Helg was Franco Albini\'s business partner; she played a crucial role in numerous Albini designs.

The dollar gained Tuesday as more worries circulated about eurozone government debt levels, while in the U.S., reports showed big gains in home sales and gradual third-quarter growth.
EW YORK — The dollar gained Tuesday as more worries circulated about eurozone government debt levels, while in the U.S., reports showed big gains in home sales and gradual third-quarter growth.
The 16-nation euro slipped to $1.4254 in late New York trading from $1.4289 late Monday. Earlier in the session the euro traded at $1.4219, its lowest point since Sept. 1.
Meanwhile, the British pound dropped to $1.5967 from $1.6052. It was the pound's first dip below $1.60 since mid-October as the British government said its economy shrank 0.2 percent from July to September. That was better than previous estimates, but still short of economists' expectations of a smaller decline or even growth.
The dollar also rose to 91.79 Japanese yen from 91.15 yen.
On Tuesday, the government said that the economy grew at a 2.2 percent pace in the third quarter, slower than previous estimates. Still, analysts expect the economy to grow by nearly 4 percent in the current quarter.
Meanwhile, the National Association of Realtors said home resales rose to their highest level in nearly three years in November as homebuyers raced to take advantage of a federal tax credit. The credit was set to expire on Nov. 30, but Congress extended it last month until April.
The improving picture of the U.S. economy is causing the dollar to gain in tandem with stocks as the year winds down, breaking its regular trading pattern of more than a year. Since Lehman Brothers collapsed, the dollar had tended to benefit as a "safe haven" buy, as investors took their money out of emerging markets and stocks and bought up the dollar and U.S. Treasurys.
Now investors are hoping that the Federal Reserve raises interest rates in the first half of 2010, sooner than it had expected, as the recovery advances. Higher interest rates, and the expectation of higher rates, can boost a currency as investor transfer funds to where they can earn higher returns.
"The current trend is for a stronger USD," said Michael Woolfolk, senior currency strategist at Bank of New York Mellon, as traders are "now probing the extent of the USD's newfound strength." "USD" is shorthand for the U.S. dollar.
In Europe, however, a third credit-ratings agency downgraded Greece's government bonds. On Tuesday, Moody's Investors Service cut Greece's credit rating from A1 to A2 — although it did say Greece did not face serious risk over its immediate borrowing ability. Moody's is the third ratings service to do so this month. Besides Greece, Ireland, Spain and Portugal also face scrutiny in bond markets.
Investors are concerned that the stronger eurozone countries may have to support heavily indebted European countries, weakening the region's stability, said Jeffrey Rosenberg, credit analyst with BofA Merrill Lynch, in a note to investors. That's hit the euro.
Michael Hewson, a currency analyst with CMC Markets in London, said the slight uptick overnight by the dollar was also helped by U.S. Treasury yields hitting their highest levels since August.
Also helping the dollar are expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve will start withdrawing its extraordinary liquidity measures and raising interest rates sooner than expected.
In other late trading Tuesday, the dollar slipped to 1.0557 Canadian dollars from 1.0617, but rose to 1.0481 Swiss francs from 1.0457 francs late Monday.

Uber Entertainment has used the Steam Controller and likes it
Valve has been sending around its Steam Controller prototype to various game developers since its announcement last week. The latest crew to lay hands on it is Uber Entertainment, creator of Planetary Annihilation and Super Monday Night Combat. So far, the developer likes it.
"Moving the mouse around in X-Com using the Steam controller and having it go exactly where I wanted felt good. Like a trackball with feedback," Art Director and Executive Producer Chandana Ekanayake wrote. "I think based on what we played with today, Planetary Annihilation in the living room with a Steam controller is possible."
Co-founder Jon Mavor referred to the Steam controller as "officially awesome," and software engineer Forrest Smith said it "fits my hands perfectly. Better than PS3, PS4, or 360 even."
In addition to Planetary Annihilation, the Uber team tried out Portal 2, Dark Souls, and XCOM, noting that the controls were configurable to each game. When asked on Twitter if games like StarCraft would be playable, Ekanayake responded, "I think you could but it depends on your skill level. It's not quite there yet and they're still tweaking the controller."

Bubble-blowing event raises autism awareness
Photo by Viktoria-Leigh Wagner Clifton E. Lawrence school students hold up a sign that reads 'Acceptance is the Cure.'
Photo by Viktoria-Leigh Wagner First-grader Zachary Brouard blows a bubble.
Photo by Viktoria-Leigh Wagner Kindergartner Caleb Norman is one of 430 students blowing bubbles in support of autism awareness.
SUSSEX BOROUGH — A team of three Clifton E. Lawrence educators — Jennifer Bork, Shannon Milazzo and Michele Wilczynski — participated in the Northern New Jersey Walk Now for Autism Speaks at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford recently, along with 7,500 others to walk for autism awareness.
N.Y. Giants punter Steve Weatherford made an appearance at the event. Pat Battle from NBC News and 11-year-old singer Jodi DiPiazza, the latter diagnosed with autism at the age of two, lead the countdown to the walk. The event raise more than $363,106 in support of the Autism Speaks mission to fund research, increase awareness and family services and advocate for individuals with autism and their families.
The following day at the Clifton E. Lawrence School (31 Ryan Rd. in Sussex), 430 students blew bubbles for autism awareness.
Self-contained classroom special education teacher Jennifer Bork of Sandyston coordinated the event. A Lawrence School teacher since 2007, Bork — who currently teaches six autistic students — got the idea for the bubble blowing in 2008 from F.A.C.E.S. 4 Autism, a non-profit organization in Southern New Jersey.
"They state on their website that bubbles are symbols of joy, hope and laughter," Bork said. "When we blow bubbles for autism together, we create a new awareness of families facing autism. The site also says bubbles make people happy. Last year, more than 57,000 people joined the organization in blowing bubbles for autism. Now, we can add our school to that list of people."
Sussex-Wantage Regional Director of Special Services Audrey Poggioli said Bork took the lead with some of the other teachers.
"I've been in special education almost 17 years and have worked extensively with students with autism in both professional and administrative capacities," she said. "I'm very excited the Lawrence school is able to participate in the Bubble-Blowing Event as a community."
Throughout April, or Autism Awareness month, Lawrence School students learned about autism, tolerance, and understanding students with special needs. The Sussex-Wantage Regional School District sold 95 T-shirts to raise money for the team of teachers to donate to Autism Speaks at the Walk Now for Autism event May 18. The Clifton E. Lawrence School sold 54 t-shirts. Profits from selling the t-shirts totaled to $194.75.
Autism-related merchandise from Oriental Trading Company, homemade candies and ornaments were also purchased and sold to students, staff, and families to raise money to be donated to Autism Speaks.
Profits from selling Oriental Trading Co. merchandise, chocolate lollipops made mainly by Sussex Middle School teacher Stephanie Birnbaum and salt-dough puzzle ornaments made by Sussex Middle School students in Learning and Language Disorder classes totaled $263.61. The Sussex-Wantage Education Association also donated $276 accumulated from teacher donations on dress-down jean Fridays during the month of April.
In total, the Sussex-Wantage Regional School District donated $734.36 to Autism Speaks.
"The bubble-blowing event is wonderful," Principal Barbara Cimorelli. "It concludes our April Autism Awareness activities and allows us to celebrate how special and unique each child is."

LESBIANISM, eh? Queen Victoria said it wasn't possible: "What could they do after all?"
* * * *
Assembly Hall, The Mound
Thankfully, attitudes have changed (for the better) towards same-sex relations since the Victorian era. However, for many gay women who came of age in the 1950s and 60s, it was something that had to be hidden, kept quiet, swept under the carpet with the largest broom available.
In A Fine Line, we follow Rita (Judith Paris), who reflects on her suppressed relationship with childhood friend, Angie.
From domineering husbands to lost children, from hard lives to forbidden love, it's impossible not to get sucked in by the power of Paris's high quality storytelling.
But this isn't necessarily a story about differences. It's actually about sameness. In fact, it makes you ponder how lucky some of us are to be able to love anyone at all.
With just a few props for company - Angie's husband is a hat stand by the way - less is more. Even when Rita is talking to another static ornament you believe in what she's saying.
Until 31 August

Barnsley face an FA Cup second round replay at Chester City after failing to see off the Conference side at Oakwell.
Reds boss Danny Wilson made four changes to the starting 11 which drew 1-1 with Doncaster Roveres in midweek.
Manchester City loan striker Devante Cole missed out with a suspected injury, while midfielder James Bailey was also absent from the match-day squad.
Youngster Mason Holgate and Reece Brown dropped to the substitute's
bench, with Joe Dudgeon, Kane Hemmings, Brad Abbott and Martin Cranie restored to the starting line-up.
Left-back Dudgeon returned from injury, while skipper Martin Cranie was back after a one-match suspension for five yellow cards.
After a quarter of an hour Barnsley's Kane Hemmings forced a smart save from Chester keeper Jon Worsnop
But four minutes later they lost centre-back Peter Ramage, who hobbled off with a thigh injury to be replaced by Reece Brown
The Conference visitors came close after 22 minutes when Craig Mahon's powerful shot was well-saved by keeper Ross Turnbull, but the ball bounced up and hit the crossbar before the Reds cleared their lines.
The Reds' Hourihane picked out Hemmings with a lovely pass, but the former Cowdenbeath striker took too long over his shot - and it was brilliantly blocked by Kieran Charnock.
Chester came within a whisker of scoring deep into first half added time when Craig Hobson's bullet header from a Sean McConville corner was amazingly cleared off the line by Joe Dudgeon.
The visitors came close again early in the second half when a Brown mistake allowed Craig Mahon to break clear, but the midfielder's left-foot strike was brilliantly saved by Turnbull.
At the other end Hourihane teed up Trotta, but his left-foot strike flew wide of the left post.
City's John Rooney, brother of England and Manchester United striker Wayne, had a fierce long-range drive blocked.
As Barnsley came again Luke Berry had a powerful shot deflected wide for a corner.
Abbott was replaced by Dale Jennings as Reds manager Danny Wilson freshened things.
Hourihane set up Jennings, but his right-foot shot was saved by Worsnop.
Mahon has a dipping shot which flies inches over the crossbar.
Barnsley made a last-ditch double attempt in a bid to avoid a replay at Chester in an incredible finish to the game.
Worsop thwarted Trotta with a wonderful save and then Hemmings' goalbound shot was headed off the line by Brown.
Barnsley: Turnbull, Dudgeon, Nyatanga, Ramage, Cranie, Berry,
Hourihane, Abbott, Hemmings, Trotta, Lita.
Subs: Davies, Brown, Treacy, Jennings, Digby, Holgate, Cowgill.
Chester: Worsnop, G Roberts, Charnock, Brown, Kay, James, Rooney,
Mahon, McConville, Heneghan, Hobson. Subs: C Roberts, Touray, Harrison, Greenop, Menagh, Riley.
Referee: Darren Handley (Bolton).

'The Killings of Tony Blair' with George Galloway
Former Bradford West MP George Galloway will be back in the city this Monday for a special screening of his documentary 'The Killings of Tony Blair' at Picturehouse at the National Media Museum. To make the screening even more special for his former constituents, there'll be a Q&A session about the making of the film, what drove him to create it and what it demonstrates about the state of politics today, led by Politics in the Pub's own Dermot Bolton.
Thanks to Picturehouse, we've got two pairs of tickets to give away to friends of Politics in the Pub. To win a pair of tickets, simply comment on our Facebook thread with the question you'd like to ask George Galloway following the screening. Questions should be about the themes and topics of the film, such as Tony Blair's time as prime minister, his decision to invade Iraq or his business dealings since leaving office. Dermot will select his two preferred questions and will contact the winners on Saturday morning. The winners will each receive two tickets for the screening on Monday 1st August at 8.30pm, and will be invited to ask their questions during the Q&A session.*
'The Killings of Tony Blair' is a feature-length documentary, co-written and presented by George Galloway, and combines testimony from prominent observers, ambassadors and statesmen to paint a vivid picture of Blair's time in office and what he's done since leaving Number 10, suggesting that his actions reveal "a messianic pursuit of personal glory and financial reward." 'The Killings of Tony Blair' comes at an important, even chaotic, period in British and international politics, and is a "timely and thought-provoking exposé which denounces the corruption of the UK's political elite," exploring Blair's premiership, his decision to join the American invasion of Iraq and his role as a peace envoy.
Tickets for this special showing on Monday 1st August at 20.30 can be purchased from Picturehouse at National Media Museum, online, or by calling 0871 902 5756 (calls cost 13p per minute plus your telephone company's access charge).
*Dermot will choose the questions he thinks are most suitable and his decision is final.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The Santa Clara University men's soccer team, under the direction of tenth-year head coach Cameron Rast, will report to preseason training camp on Thursday, August 11.
The Broncos – who have won three of the last five WCC Championships – will prep for an exciting stretch of soccer, opening the season with five-straight home games, hosting Stanford (Aug. 27), UCLA (Sept. 2) and New Mexico (Sept. 4). The strong home schedule will not only be exciting for SCU fans, but will immediately challenge Rast's 2011 squad.
The team is loaded with proven talent. SCU expects to return nine all-league honorees and nine seniors. Previous All-WCC selections include: Erik Hurtado (pictured), Mykell Bates, Brandon Zimmerman, Keigo Kameya, Mark Daus, Murphy Campbell, Wesley Culver, Kevin Klasila and Eric Masch.
The Broncos won the 2010 WCC Championship by posting a 7-1-4 conference record. No other WCC program has won more games (125) over the past decade or more WCC titles (5) than Santa Clara. Rast has been honored as the league's 'Coach of the Year' four times in his nine seasons.
Contributing to the Broncos' strong soccer tradition is the team's home field advantage at Buck Shaw Stadium. Under Rast, the Broncos have gone 52-14-19 at home since he took over as head coach in 2002. The team is 211-80-38 all-time when playing at home, dating back to the program's first year of soccer in 1967.
Season tickets for all 12 home games start at $50 for adults and $25 for youth and seniors. The SCU athletic department is also offering a season ticket 'Family Plan,' which includes five tickets to every home game for just $100.
Fans can purchase tickets online (www.SantaClaraBroncos.com/buytickets), over the phone at 408-554-4660 or by visiting the SCU Ticket Office, located at The Leavey Center, 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara campus, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Cricket to offer LTE after signing a roaming agreement with Lightsquared
Cricket Wireless, one of the smaller CDMA carriers offering low-budget and contract-free plans, shook hands with wireless broadband provider LightSquared over an agreement that will allow it to deliver 4G LTE service. The roaming agreement will be valid over the next few year and will complement the carrier's existing data network.
The agreement will definitely be of benefit to both parties as the massive investment required for deploying such a network could hardly be matched by the humble possibilities of the carrier. Just recently, MetroPCS's Samsung Galaxy Indulge, a Samsung Galaxy S of a kind, was announced for Cricket, bringing all of last year's Android power to the carrier. But with the LTE announcement, we look forward to hearing more about 4G-capable phones coming to Cricket, so stay tuned.

Judge sends Lohan back to rehab
Judge sends Lohan back to rehab
Lindsay Lohan sidestepped another jail stint Friday when a California judge sent the 24-year-old starlet back to rehab, telling her she was an addict and faced jail time if she relapsed again.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden Fox ordered Lohan to remain at the Betty Ford Center until Jan. 3 and report back to court in late February.
"You are an addict; I hope you understand that," Fox told Lohan.
A prosecutor had advocated a six-month jail sentence for the "Mean Girls" star, but Fox opted for rehab after reviewing filings by probation and rehab officials and a letter written by Lohan.
Lohan told probation officials last week that she didn't want to remain in rehab for longer than a month because "continued inpatient treatment would be a hardship financially, and damaging to her career." Associated Press
Nevada court rules against O.J.
The Nevada Supreme Court refused Friday to overturn O.J. Simpson's armed robbery and kidnapping convictions stemming from a gunpoint heist in a Las Vegas hotel.
The court ruled each of Simpson's eight appeal arguments was without merit.
Simpson attorney Yale Galanter said the ruling was disappointing but not unexpected. Associated Press
Ed Burns goes back to basics
Ed Burns revisits his indie roots in his latest project, "Nice Guy Johnny."
The 42-year-old filmmaker leapt onto the scene in 1995 with "The Brothers McMullen." Burns said he used anything he could get for free and filmed in his parents' home.
Fifteen years later, he has a $25,000 budget, unknown actors and is back at his parents' house. Associated Press

Caution is a good thing...but people please get a grip!
This is from Yahoo News this morning.
"From Egypt's order that all 300,000 pigs in the country be slaughtered to travel bans and putting the kibosh on kissing, the world is taking drastic — and some say debatable — measures to combat swine flu.
Egypt ordered the pig slaughter even though there hasn't been a single case of swine flu there and no evidence that pigs have spread the disease. Britain, with only five cases, is trying to buy 32 million masks."
Absolute fear is the only thing powering these actions. It's a flu. It is not a disease that will melt your flesh. We have very good hospitals. It is not a totally fatal virus. You can live through it. The flu kills people every year without mass slaughtering of animals. Yeah, it looks like many will get sick with the flu - but that does not mean the end of the world is here. Nor does it mean that all who get it will die.
Take a breath. Wash your hands, often. Calm down. Armageddon is not here. Be reasonable and rational.

A Colles fracture is a particular type of broken wrist which involves a break of the radius or forearm bone on the thumb side of the wrist. Deformity, severe pain and swelling would indicate this type of fracture, which is most often caused by a fall. Medical help is needed immediately to repair this wrist injury.
Symptoms include instant pain in the wrist with rapid swelling. The wrist may look deformed. This is known as a dinner fork deformity. The patient will have considerable pain when trying to move the wrist. In very severe wrist fractures one end of the bone may pierce the skin which is known as an open fracture.
To be diagnosed as a Colles fracture the break in the bone has to be a transverse fracture within 1 inch of the wrist joint, with a fractured fragment of bone being displaced upwards. Other common wrist fractures are a Scaphoid fracture and a Hook of hamate fracture.
The most frequent cause is a fall onto an outstretched hand. This is especially common in older females who suffer from Osteoporosis which is a weakening of the bones, occurring mainly in later life. Often the patient will not know they have weak bones.
Due to the force which is required to fracture the distal radius, sometimes a fracture at the end of the Ulna may also occur. Soft tissue injuries to the ligaments at the wrist especially are also common.
If a wrist fracture is suspected then medical attention should be sought immediately. An X-ray should be taken to determine the extent of the fracture and displacement of the bone fragment. A full examination will help to rule out any other associated injuries. Sometimes the bone fragment may be broken into more than one piece. This is known as a comminuted fracture of the wrist.
See our interview with Mr. Elliot Sorene, Consultant Surgeon.
Colles Fracture Surgery
The treatment of a Colles fracture depends on the extent of the injury. A straightforward fracture with no displacement will simply require casting to immobilise the bones until they are healed. This is usually around 6 weeks. A splint may be used for the first few days to allow the swelling to go down before the cast is applied.
Where there is minor displacement, a closed reduction may be performed, which is where the Doctor manipulates the arm until the bones align, before the cast is applied.
In more complicated cases where the bones are considerably displaced, or the fragment is in two or more pieces surgery may be required. The surgeon will realign the fragments and use pins or wires to hold them in place. The arm is then splinted for a few days to allow swelling to settle before being put in a plaster cast.
Once the cast is removed, physical therapy should be undertaken to regain full movement and strength in the wrist. This will involve mobility exercises and exercises to strengthen the wrist such as using hand putty.

I know Birth By Sleep Week is all but over, and that we've already given you our thoughts in the form of the "IM"pressions you see below. (Aren't those things brilliant? I think they're brilliant.) But regardless, I felt the need to give the week a bit of a send-off in the form of some good, old-fashioned written impressions. I'd hoped to have the game nearly finished/reviewed at this point, but, ah… that didn't really happen, for a variety of reasons.
As I believe I mentioned in the IMpressions, Birth By Sleep is the first "full" Kingdom Hearts game I've played since Kingdom Hearts II. That Chain of Memories remake for the PS2 was little more than a bunch of cobbled KH1 environments, and even what I played of Dumb Name felt little more than supplementary. And it's been four years since Kingdom Hearts II. That's a long time; a cruelly long time, in fact. So, while Birth By Sleep may not be the big, flashy PS3 relaunch of the series that we're all still dreaming of, it's still something that, as Kingdom Hearts fans, we can truly sink our teeth into. And that, alone, makes it worth the price of admission.
Birth By Sleep continues the trend of making us absorb dialog we should normally hate, and care about plotlines that would bore us if they were in any other game. How? The older I get, the less sense it makes, to be honest. But for some reason, in the eight hours I've spent with Birth By Sleep, I've grown care more about the events and characters than I have with any other RPG since Persona 4. It, for example, beats the living fuck out of Final Fantasy XIII – Disney characters and all.
But then again, I can't totally discredit the merits of Birth By Sleep, and write it all off to an inexplicable charm. This shit is interesting, simply put. Seeing the history behind the Keyblade and its wielders is just plain interesting. Visiting Radiant Garden before it became Hollow Bastion, with the knowledge that it's all gonna go to shit, is just a cool feeling. Kinda like the Star Wars prequels, but better. Kingdom Hearts may be a simple story of good versus evil – light versus darkness – but man, does it ever pull off this age-old concept well. Why? Because it doesn't really try to do much more than that. It's something to respect, frankly.
But of course, it wouldn't be Kingdom Hearts without plenty of Heartless to bash around. Eight hours in, I think Birth By Sleep might just have the best combat in the series. Finally, a good balance between button-mashing and strategy has been found. This is instantly evident by the fact that you'll probably actually die in Birth By Sleep. I have, at least. Multiple times. Boss battles are tough. Y'know, the way they should be. In Kingdom Hearts II, I don't recall ever dying. And if I did, I doubt I did anything more than mash buttons harder the second time around. In Birth By Sleep, you'll find yourself challenged to not only mash the X button like a crazy person, but to make sure you're using defensive commands such as block and dodge, and ensuring you have a proper deck of commands for a given situation. If you don't, you just might die. Also, I'm a huge fan of new additions such as Combat Stances and D-Links. Combat Stances are essentially what they sound like; for example, if you chain enough Fire-type attacks together, you'll adopt a stance that grants firepower to all your attacks. It also makes you quite a bit faster and more powerful. It's essentially the same as the different forms that Sora could take in Kingdom Hearts II. Unfortunately, none of them involve using dual-keyblades. Which kinda sucks. Dual keyblades are badass.
While this hardly needs to be said, Birth By Sleep is quite the looker; with the obligatory "for a PSP game" caveat. But, in perfect honesty, this game looks just as good as Kingdom Hearts II did – just on a smaller screen. The game does seem to suffer from a bit of slowdown when ridiculous numbers of enemies are on-screen, but this is relatively rare, and hardly an annoyance. If Squeenix knows how to do anything right (and this game proves that they can still do several things right) it's make a pretty game.
I just wish there were Gummi Ship sequences. Where did they go? Just cruising around the map from an isometric view isn't the same. At all. Oh yeah, and I wish Terra's voice actor didn't perpetually sound like he just woke up from a 27-year nap.
Other than that, as a Kingdom Hearts fan, it's hard for me to complain much about Birth By Sleep. I wish I could review it for you, but suffice to say, I've been enjoying the hell out of it for the last few days. If you're a fan of the series, you absolutely will as well.
And with that, we bid our farewells to the week. 'Till next time,

2. Re: Combined calculationDavid Recuero Guerra Sep 25, 2017 11:52 AM (in response to Joe Oppelt)
Hi Joe,
Thank you for your answer. Actually I think it's a bit more complicated than that, since the calculation is not just getting the C value for the prior row but multiplying B* C value for the prior row, as in the example above.
Please find attached the Tableau workbook for your convenience.
Thank you,

3. Re: Combined calculationJoe Oppelt Sep 25, 2017 12:38 PM (in response to David Recuero Guerra)
Well sure, I just showed how you can get to a value from a different row. But you can use that in any sort of math you want. I wasn't clear on what you actually want to do, so I did a bunch and added them to your sheet. (See sheet 2.)
I'm reading that you want to multiply the B and C from the previous row, so I did it two ways in the two [Calculation 3] calcs.
See attached.
PS: No value shows up in January in these calcs because there is no -1 for January, of course. You can modify the calc to say:
IF INDEX() = 1 then 1 else (put the actual logic here)...

4. Re: Combined calculationDavid Recuero Guerra Sep 25, 2017 3:09 PM (in response to Joe Oppelt)
Thank you Joe, actually I didn't explain the problem clearly, my apologies, I will try to be more precise.
Initially, my data source has ''Date'' and column ''B'', and the goal is to create a formula in Tableau that equals column ''C''. In Excel, I calculated column C assigning 1 to January (first value in the partition), and then multiplying sequentially B and C as shown below
Feb B * Jan C = Feb C
Mar B * Feb C = Mar C
This kind of sequential calculation is easy to do in Excel at a cell level, but I don't know if Tableau can handle it as well.
Please use the attached workbook instead of the original. I also attached the Excel file where you can see the formula for C.
Sorry for the confusion and thank you again.

This afternoon I have tried, in my opinion, everything to get a fade with colors (LED) and positions using the A/B faders, but everytime it snaps. Only he first cue seems to work good.
I also noticed the information in your cuelist relating to S (snap) and F (fade) isn't up to date, there are moments when there stands a S and when I go to Edit cue, it's on fade, or the other way around.
I haven't tried it on snap to 100%.
I believe it's the same problem when you use the ''go'' button and when you have configured the down fade time.

text: Thursday, March 19, 2009 Screen Shot with Rush Teleprompter, is the president ever argumentative with you, or is he compliant with your instructions? Good question. Look, like any relationship, we have our ups and downs. Last year on the campaign trail, The Big Guy came to me and told me that like the cigarettes, he really felt like he needed to start working through his dependency. Then he went out and did this townhall session on health care. Suffice it to say, we aren't having those unpleasant discussions any more. Posted by Tele Prompter at 1:05 PM 9 comments Answering Rush I should say up front that Rush Limbaugh is not my kind of guy. He sometimes speaks from notes, and often off the top of his head. If he really wants to impress the electronics community, he ought to spend some time learning how to use me. Then maybe folks would take him a bit more seriously. But I digress. Rush to his credit has identified me as a key player in the White House, and while he didn't formally request an interview with me - nor did he submit his questions for approval with Gibbsy as "real" journalists like John Roberts (little known fact: he was once a Canadian VJ) do - he has posed a number of interesting questions, all of which I will begin answering today in a new, regular feature: Screen Shots with Rush. Screen Shots will be intermittent today, as I've got my West Coast gig, and The Big Guy has a number of phone calls to make to foreign leaders, and he needs me there in case he needs to appear to pull some hip overseas cultural references off the top of his head. That, and he can watch the first round games on my second screen at the same time. Posted by Tele Prompter at 7:51 AM 226 comments Tension in the White House I don't think I'm breaking any confidences here by saying that things are a bit tense around here. Ever since the White House announced that Big Boy was going to do another prime time presser next week, people have been waiting for the backlash. Sure, we could've done it during the day, but then we wouldn't get any attention. We couldn't do it on Thursday night, because that would cut into our watching the NCAA tourney. So instead we cut into "American Idol." If you ask me that sucks ... me needs what only Ryan Seacrest can bring. What really blows is that there are some folks in this place who are pushing for Barack to go out there alone. Sans me. With no wing screens. Are they insane? With this rabid press corps constantly looking to pin Him down for every friggin detail about obscure legislation like the TARP funding? Or the economic stimulus bill? All that kind of detail can't be fit on little note cards. Or even 5x7s. Sure, He rehearses, but nothing can compare him for those white, hot interrogation-room-style kleig lights, or those razor-sharp questions from the likes of Ed Schultz and that bag lady in the front row. Believe me, this is going to be a knock down, drag out fight worth monitoring over the weekend. Posted by Tele Prompter at 5:55 AM 58 comments Wednesday, March 18, 2009 Hogwash This buffoon clearly doesn't understand what kind of pressure a Presidential teleprompter must deal with day in and day out. I shall not resign. Hell, I haven't event been officially confirmed. Posted by Tele Prompter at 5:09 PM 18 comments Heading West I'll be heading out to LA for the Jay Leno appearance. This will be fun; I haven't done Hollywood since that Streisand fundraiser last summer. Back then, it was just warmed over stump material that Alec Baldwin was lip-synching along to, but tomorrow night the stakes are higher. It's all new material: we have a whole five million viewers and a rabidly supportive studio audience to sway on the American economy. Just be aware that when The Big Guy says, "Secretary Geithner is doing a great job," it's not a laugh line. You're probably wondering what it's like for me to travel on Air Force One. It's not what it's cracked up to be. Even though I'd consider myself critical to the communications process, I don't get to sit with Gibbsy or any of the other "Comms" team. If I weren't so confident in my relationship with The Boss, I'd think they were trying to undercut me. But after the election, I also didn't expect to find myself down in the cargo hold with the more common electronic equipment. Posted by Tele Prompter at 3:29 PM 21 comments It's Time Well, last night didn't go well. What can I say? I was tired. By the time Barack and the Irish PM stood up, the President and I had already done two major policy speeches, three nomination announcements, and light dinner banter for a table of twelve. And by the way, that "ad lib" last night about Guinness? Mine. So why am I going public now, when for the past two years I've let others do the talking? Well, this is a thankless job, and I sure don't want to take the fall for communications missteps. But more important, I expect you'll be seeing a lot more of me over the next few months and years. Barack and I don't go anywhere without each other; we even complete each other's sentences ... well, more mine than his, but let's not split hairs. I sense new text being loaded now, so I'll have to be going.

Time for an Isiah Thomas trial update: You know you've missed them.
The defense is presenting its case this week, and it is indicative of just how damaging and weird this trial has become that an incident in which an intern slept with Stephon Marbury in order to get a better job — and it worked! — is being presented in the Knicks' favor.
Kathleen Decker also acknowledged she landed a full-time job with the Knicks soon after [having sex in the back of a car with Marbury] - and got a big promotion six weeks ago as the $10 million federal sex harassment suit of fired exec Anucha Browne Sanders approached.
Decker, 24, said she never tried to hide the one-night stand and suggested she was being used as a pawn in Browne Sanders' suit. "I wasn't forced to do anything," Decker testified. "I wasn't drunk. I was in control."
So we now understand how it works at the Garden: Sleep with someone, and you move up the chain. Finally, Isiah's ascendance is explained.

Bernie Sanders gets 2 wins over Hillary Clinton -- but Clinton grabs the biggest prize of the night
Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders fought Saturday's Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses to what seems likely to be a virtual tie.
READ MORE: Super Saturday: GOP candidate snags 2 big wins
Of the three nominating contests held on Saturday, Sanders won Kansas and was projected by NBC News and CNN to win in Nebraska.
RELATED: Sen. Sanders on the campaign trail

Clinton was projected to win the Louisiana primary, a contest worth just under the number of delegates of Nebraska and Kansas combined.
Shortly after several news outlets called Kansas for Sanders, the senator reiterated that the win proves he still has a path to securing the nomination.
"We have the momentum. We have a path toward victory," Sanders said in a statement.
Clinton has easily won states across the South, which has been attributed to her campaign's strength among African-American voters.
Though his wins could inject some perceived momentum into his bid following a string of losses earlier this week on "Super Tuesday," Sanders faces an increasingly difficult electoral map going forward.
Sanders may pick up a victory in the Democratic caucuses in Maine on Sunday. But Clinton led in almost every reliable recent poll of states voting on March 8 and March 15, when another substantial chunk of delegates will be awarded.
And Sanders still appeared to fall short of picking up the delegates needed to put a dent in Clinton's significant pledged delegate lead.
In a speech on Saturday night in Detroit, Clinton congratulated Sanders on his wins, but quickly shifted focus toward the next set of delegate-heavy contests.
"Now all eyes turn to Michigan," Clinton said. "And I can tell you -- we're going to work for every vote."

Compiled by Scottish crate digger Stephen Marshall , Screamers, Bangers and Cosmic Synths was arguably one of 2017's most entertaining and eye-opening compilations. Happily, we can report that this sequel is every bit as good. Highlights come thick and fast from the word go, from the bouncy, Moog-laden reggae-funk of Tecumsay Roberts' "It Makes Me Dance and Sing" and the intoxicating, dub disco-influenced AOR bounce of Geri Baird's "Backside of the Desert", to the percussive voodoo of Enzo Del Re's "Il Banditore" and the low-slung, lo-fi synth-funk oddness of Sunny Boy's delightfully quirky "Love Affair". Oh, and the left-of-central gospel-funk of The Weeden Family Singers' "In The Kingdom of the Lord", which is strangely magnificent. In other words, it's another fine collection of dusty cuts you've never heard of. What's not to like?

Marlins RHP Volquez tosses first no-hitter of 2017
- Author: Rosalie Stanley Jun 04, 2017,
Jun 04, 2017, 6:18
And after throwing 95 more game-speed pitches, Volquez had secured a no-hitter, the sixth in Marlins team history and the first for any Major League Baseball pitcher since the Cubs' Jake Arrieta in April 2016.
Archie Bradley struck out Marcell Ozuna with two on to end the eighth. The RBI was the 578th for Stanton, tying him with Mike Lowell for the franchise record.
"Just a lot of things lined up", Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. We kind of did everything wrong you could do wrong in different areas at different times. "And I think he's getting a lot more help now".
Stanton is batting a blistering.400 in his past 11 contests while riding respective five-game hitting and RBI streaks into Saturday's tilt versus starter Randall Delgado.
The Marlins scored twice in the third inning on Stanton's single.
Montgomery (3-4) gave up three singles in six innings, striking out five and walking three for his first win since May 6 against the Cubs. His only win was tagged in a 2012 start, when he pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing eight hits and three runs, striking out six and walked three.
"I'll take that", he said.
"They watching right now, what happened today".
Corbin gave up three homers for the fourth time in his career. "And they must feel really happy right now", Volquez said. He is 4-0 with a 2.96 ERA in eight career outings against Miami. Otherwise, the closest the Diamondbacks came to a hit was likely in the fourth inning, when a couple of hard-hit balls turned into outs - Paul Goldschmidt was initially called safe, but it was overturned on review (otherwise this could have ended up being another Armando game!).
The 12 runs represent a Royals' season high, while their 13 hits tied a season best.
Dustin McGowan (3-0) retired all five batters he faced for the win, stranding both runners he inherited when Urena departed. CF Gregor Blanco (jammed left thumb) was not in the lineup.
The four home runs in the eighth - all against Jason Grilli - were the most ever allowed in one inning by a Blue Jays reliever.
Closer A.J. Ramos pitched the ninth and picked up his seventh save of the season, converting his 15th consecutive save opportunity dating back to last September 9. He improved to 5-0 in nine games against the Marlins. His 384-foot drive was his third homer of the season - all three have been hit at Petco Park - and third grand slam of his career.
The inability to hold a late-inning lead has been a recurring problem for the Marlins and made for a sour start to June. The aquarium itself was fine, and so were the fish - the cracked glass was covered with a few strips of duct tape.

Celebrate National Cleavage Day! [VIDEO]
National Cleavage Day is today. It's a holiday that's celebrated every year at the end of March or early April, and was started by Wonderbra in 2002. There is some debate as to why this holiday started, but its origins seem to be mainly about women appreciating their breasts, female empowerment, and breast cancer awareness.
In celebration of this holiday, I'm posting a video with some amazing cleavage photos. I think you'll enjoy this one.

My version of a St. Patrick's Day manicure. Didn't want anything too festive, but I think this is just enough. Cute, no? Two coats of OPI's Jade is the New Black and I stamped the swirly pattern from Konad's M51 plate using 2030 by China Glaze. Jade is the New Black is such a nice shade of green. Jelly finish too. Super shiny.
Happy Polishing!

Statement from United Launch Alliance
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, (March 18, 2017) – A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Delta IV rocket carrying the ninth Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS-9) satellite for the United States Air Force lifted off from Space Launch Complex-37 on March 18 at 8:18 p.m. EST.
"This launch commemorates the 70th anniversary of the USAF." said Laura Maginnis, ULA vice president of Government Satellite Launch. "We are absolutely honored to play a role in this important milestone, while safely delivering WGS-9 to orbit."
This mission was launched aboard a Delta IV Medium+ (5, 4) configuration Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) powered by one common booster core and four solid rocket motors built by Orbital ATK. The common booster core was powered by an RS-68A liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen engine producing 705,250 pounds of thrust at sea level. A single RL10B-2 liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen engine powered the second stage. The booster and upper stage engines are both built by Aerojet Rocketdyne. ULA constructed the Delta IV Medium+ (5,4) launch vehicle in Decatur, Alabama.
This is ULA's third launch in 2017 and the 118th successful launch since the company was formed in December 2006.
"Thank you to the women and men of United Launch Alliance and all of our teammates who have worked tirelessly together to ensure today's mission success," said Maginnis. "The team's number one priority was safely and reliably delivering one of our nation's most critical satellites."
WGS-9, the third Block II Follow-on satellite, supports communications links in the X-band and Ka-band spectra. The WGS-9 satellite will be able filter and downlink up to 8.088 GHz of bandwidth. WGS satellites are an important element of a new high-capacity satellite communications system providing enhanced communications capability to our troops in the field.
The EELV program was established by the U.S. Air Force to provide assured access to space for Department of Defense and other government payloads. The commercially developed EELV program supports the full range of government mission requirements, while delivering on schedule and providing significant cost savings over the heritage launch systems.
With more than a century of combined heritage, United Launch Alliance is the nation's most experienced and reliable launch service provider. ULA has successfully delivered more than 115 satellites to orbit that provide critical capabilities for troops in the field, aid meteorologists in tracking severe weather, enable personal device-based GPS navigation and unlock the mysteries of our solar system.
End ULA's Statement
This mission involves the WGS satellite. WGS satellites are important elements of a new high-capacity satellite communications system providing enhanced communications capabilities to the troops in the field. WGS has 19 independent coverage areas, 18 of which can be positioned throughout its field-of-view. This includes eight steerable/shapeable X-band beams formed by separate transmit/receive phased arrays; 10 Ka-band beams served by independently steerable diplexed antennas; and one transmit/receive X-band Earth-coverage beam. WGS can tailor coverage areas and connect X-band and Ka-band users anywhere within its field-of-view. The X-band phased array antenna enables anti-jam functionality without sacrificing performance.
Previously, on Boeing's [NYSE: BA] eighth Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) satellite communications bandwidth was nearly doubled compared to previous WGS satellites due to an upgraded digital payload. Using leading commercial digital circuit technology, the upgraded satellite aids in fulfilling the increasing demand for high-data rate communications of warfighters around the globe and doubled the satellite's bandwidth.
The WGS-9 satellite is funded through an international partnership between the United States and Canada, Denmark, Luxembourg, The Netherlands and New Zealand.

U2's studio album The Joshua Tree was released on March 9, 1987. The Irish band's fifth album was an intended musical statement made against the new wave of the day, and pulled inspiration from Irish folk and the American songbook. With the album, U2 also unveiled a new look. Anton Cobijn's photo shoot for The Joshua Tree shows the band sporting a dusty, worn, wild-west look to emphasize the spacious, wide-open feel of the album. It wasn't, however, the first time Bono and co. have changed their look.
To help celebrate Joshua Tree day, our illustrator Heather Collett presents the third in a series of CBC Music's paper dolls. From the 1987 Joshua Tree tour to The Screwtape Letters-inspired MacPhisto all the way through to the wrap-around shades of the "Elevation" era, have fun cutting out, assembling and dressing up U2's frontman in some of his most iconic outfits.
And don't forget to post your photos on social, tagging CBC Music on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

Really great Christian blog to look upPosted: August 2, 2011 in Uncategorized

You're praying for me to be healed but aint nothing happening!! What's the deal?Posted: August 15, 2010 in Spiritual Root to Disease
Tags: cross, demonstrated, goodness, heal, jesus, love, repentance, root cause, sickness, sin, sorrow, spiritual root
Every once in a while a believer will pray for the sick and nothing seems to be happening. After several commands of "GO…IN JESUS NAME" the person responds with a mere "sorry…there is no change". I believe that there is a root issue that God wants to deal with AT THAT TIME before He manifest the healing. Not to say that God doesn't want to heal them or He is using this sickness to teach them, but He'd rather they address the issue before He manifest the healing (Note: most Christians will pray for physical healing and ignore soul issues which is probably why God prefers to deal with soul issues first before the physical healing). After all, III John 1:2 says "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth". So God wants our soul to prosper and our health to proper. No point in being healed of heart disease if you're always afraid to go to bed at night because of the spirit of fear. Of course there are those who will disagree with me. They might say, well Jesus didn't do that. The closes thing Jesus did to that was say "… go and sin no more less a worse thing happen to you" AFTER He healed someone. They also might put forth that the goodness of God leads man to repentance.
Those who propose these arguments are overlooking a few key points. Jesus demonstrated God's love despite mans sin. So everything Jesus did had no condition on it whatsoever because God wanted to show man His grace and love in the face of man's sin (Romans 5:20). Now times are different, God requires every man everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30-31). So essentially, God demonstrated His goodness at the cross, now the only to do now is to REPENT. Furthermore, God's goodness isn't the only thing that leads man to repentance. 2 Corinthians 7:10 says "For GODLY SORROW WORKETH REPENTANCE to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death". Hence, telling a person, "hey, you should forgive that person who molested you" is for that victims salvation (Matthew 6:15, Mark 11:26) and well-being even though it might make them upset or sorrowful to do so. Now some might say, well you don't have to forgive in order to go to heaven, all you have to do is "believe" (see my note John 3:16 explained) and you'll go to heaven regardless. To those I say, Judas Iscariot believed in Jesus, you think he went to heaven?

Okay, so regular readers of this blog (I think there might be a few of you still out there with the patience of Job) know that I am very into Doc Savage, the pulp magazine prototype of Superman, as could be seen in the last YouTube video I posted featuring myself, my partner Mike Walt, and Who-Net member and friend Terry O'Connell. We performed my adaptation of Lester Dent's 1934 pilot script for an early Doc Savage radio series and based on the first of the 181 Doc Savage novels, "The Man of Bronze" at last July's InConJunction convention in Indianapolis.
Though it was a small crowd, and although we had a few hiccups in syncing our performances with the soundtrack, the live radio play went over great, and I was approached by many of the attendees asking if I was seriously going to do the follow-up that was teased at the end of the program. It didn't take a week after the convention for me to pull down Doc Savage Double Reprint Novel #1 and start re-reading "The Fortress of Solitude".
For those of you not familiar with the plot, I'll try to not get too spoilery:
At a remote gulag in Siberia, a mass prison break occurs freeing several dozen murderous characters, one of whom is a mysterious, almost hypnotic gent named John Sunlight, who holds many of the escaped convicts in a grip of fear. Seizing an icebreaking freighter stopping off near the gulag to drop off supplies, the ship breaks down and flounders in the ice flow, taking the helpless crew far into the northern reaches.
Near starvation, the crew and the ship run aground and they are met with an awesome sight... a giant blue dome in the middle of the wintery wastes. Sunlight becomes obsessed to find out what's inside, and finally discovers a secret door. As it turns out, the dome is Doc Savage's remote retreat, The Fortress of Solitude, containing many of his incredible inventions, vehicles... and weapons.
A year later, Doc, unaware of the events at the Fortress (no vacation for the Man of Bronze!), and his men Monk, Ham, and Long Tom find themselves in the middle of kidnapping, blackmail, and murder due to what Doc is sure is someone using his deadliest weapons for their own ends. Sunlight has an ultimate plan... one that threatens the entire world!
Of all the 181 "supersagas", as Philip Jose Farmer described them in his book Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life, "Fortress" almost always lands at the top of the best. The reason for that is simple: its unlike many of the Doc novels, which were written to a pretty rigid outline that rarely ever wavered. "Fortress" not only breaks from Dent's outline, it practically throws a brick through it.
It is one of the few novels where Doc isn't as triumphant in the end as usual. In fact, he downright fails. His greatest secrets are splayed out in a very public forum before not only his best friends whom he kept in the dark for most of the story, but also an army of criminals and convicts, among them possibly the devil incarnate. It forces him to take extreme measures to secure the secrecy of the Fortress, measures I didn't quite find believable in the original prose, but I eventually came up with a slight twist to make it work in the radio play to remain true to Dent's original ending.
And of course, it's the only novel in the series where the villain returns to fight another day.
Street and Smith's rules with their hero prose novels is that each one would stand alone, as they believed that each issue was someone's first issue. Only the Shadow actually had a recurring villain in Shiwan Khan, who appeared in several of the Shadow novels. Maybe the exception was the bi-weekly publication schedule and the speed with which Walter Gibson and his assistants banged out one riproaring novel after another. They needed a familiar antagonist every now and then to face off against the Dark Avenger. Dent had no such intention of taking on such a grueling schedule, even though S & S pressured him to do so. But for some reason, an exception was made in the case of John Sunlight.
So the conundrum I faced is how to turn a 55-plus page novellette into an hour radioplay, or approximately four twenty minute episodes. The first step was, indeed, worry about chapterplays later, just do the best job to translate Dent's epic tale into radioplay format.
The first thing I needed was a tantalizing opening that would engage the listener. Dent's opening describing the prison break worked well in the novel, but would take far too much time to introduce John Sunlight and his crew and leave the audience bored waiting for action. With that, I felt bringing two new characters, a pair of Soviet pilots chosen to fly over the area, the perfect foils to reveal the horror of the break. From there, we cut to months later, with the icebreaker floundering and the crew starving.
From there, I stuck fairly close to Dent's original narrative, with the only real big change being the attack on Sunlight's island fortress, which, in the long run, did nothing the forward the plot, and those few important elements could be dealt with as Doc and the Brotherhood of Bronze made their way north.
I also thought that the blindness bomb should be given a distinctive name, thus "The Indigo Pulse", thereby planting the first seeds of doubt in the minds of Ham and Long Tom when Doc lets its name slipafter the attack on Serge Mafnoff's compound.
Another element I really wanted in the story, although she doesn't make any appearance in the original novel, was Pat Savage. That came about when I was trying to figure out how to transfer the incident at the nightclub with the "playboy prince" (whom I finally named Shamar) into a workable scenario for radio, and suddenly brainstormed that Pat could easily disguise herself as a 1930's party girl and somehow mingle with the prince, and then insinuate herself into the adventure.
A few more edits were required from the novel, such as the attack on Doc's advanced skiplane flown by Ham and Long Tom as backup (which I designated "The Bronze Angel"), but very minor changes. A more tragic consequence for Doc's lack of security measures and then a sentimental ending to assure that Doc's bond with his crew was everlasting. And the script was finished in less than a month.
So next... the making of the soundtrack.
To be continued....

Help us develop this application!
An overview of the Keywords.
There are many dangers on public roads, drivers have to recognize these dangers and respond in the right way. Here you will find an overview of the most common hazards.
Reduce your speed in rain, snow and sleet. The road surface is much smoother in bad weather conditions, so the tires have less grip. In case of a wet road surface it is best to reduce your speed by about 15 km / h. With snow you can best halve your speed. Use snow tires or snow chains when there is snow on the road. On ice you have to drive very carefully, because a vehicle is not controllable on ice. It is therefore very dangerous to drive on ice.
In case of rain or a wet road surface, most tires have a good grip up to about 55 km / h. If you drive faster, the tires start riding on the water like water skis. We call this 'hydroplaning', in dutch water smoothness or aquaplaning. If there is water on the road surface, the tires can completely lose their grip with the road. Bare or worn tires can lose their grip at much lower speeds. The best way to prevent hydroplaning is to reduce the speed in case of rain or a wet road surface.
In road works, temporary orange colored lines are often painted on the road surface. The orange stripes then replace the white ones.
Crossing animals can cause dangerous traffic situations. In green areas it often happens that animals cross the road.
Help us promote traffic rules on the internet, together we can make the public road safer for everyone. Post a comment or share with your friends on social media!

This week has been a really intense week. I have learned a lot about humility, from myself and also from others.
I've really been struggling lately with a lot of feelings of inadequacy, both in missionary work and in personal things and especially in my calling as an STL. It's hard when all of your weaknesses seem to just magnify themselves in front of you and seem impossible to overcome. We had service as a zone on Saturday, and is was so fun to participate in the national service day to clean up campaign posters and all that, but I was having a hard time. After the service, we ended up calling our district leader over so that he could give both me and Sister Udarbe a priesthood blessing. And let me tell you, the power of the priesthood is real. We didn't tell him anything that we were struggling with or that we wanted guidance on; we just said that we would like a blessing of comfort. And in each of our blessings, he addressed the things that we were specifically struggling with and needed counsel on. We took notes for each other, and this morning I reviewed the notes my companion had written down and just felt so grateful that Heavenly Father loves us enough to give to worthy men the power of the priesthood in order to help those around them. It also reminded me to be more humble and remember that it's not my strength or lack of that is important; what's important is that I just remember where my real strength is and rely on my Savior and on my Heavenly Father.
One of the other things that had a big impact on me taught me a powerful lesson about humility. One of the companionships in our route has really been struggling; one of the companions is really disobedient and prideful and drags her companion down. We had the opportunity to do exchanges with them on Thursday, and it was so heartbreaking to see how much pride is ruining things for them. One of the sisters is new in the area and is trying so hard to learn the area and the investigators and the members, but her companion just gets annoyed when she asks questions. We've seen a lot of pride issues in that companion, and so when we did exchanges we each took some time to talk with each of the sisters one on one. And I can really testify that nobody can change you but yourself, and not even Heavenly Father will force you to change yourself. One of the sisters does not see herself as making mistakes or having weaknesses, and when her companion tried to explain what was going on she just got angry. It was so sad. There hasn't been much that's changed in that companionship--the prideful one is still so prideful, and the other one is just exemplifying the Christlike attribute of humility as she tries to keep things going smooth. We're praying (literally) that something will change and that the Spirit will be able to work in their companionship.
So I guess the biggest takeaway that I got this week is just to remember that nobody is perfect (especially myself) but that if we are humble and we let ourselves be changed, we really can change for the better.
Mosiah 3:19 For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.
When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.--Charles A. Beard
Love you all!! Have a good week and remember that humility can help solve any problem :)
