Ellie Greenwich, a songwriter who collaborated with Phil Spector, Jeff Barry and others to create a greatest-hits list of 1960s teenage pop songs like "Da Doo Ron Ron," "Then He Kissed Me," "Hanky Panky" and "Leader of the Pack," died on Wednesday in Manhattan. She was 68.
The cause was a heart attack following a case of pneumonia, her niece, Jessica Weiner, said.
Ms. Greenwich was among the songwriters, music publishers and producers working at the Brill Building, at 1619 Broadway in Manhattan, which (along with 1650 Broadway, across the street) became a center of pop music in the early 1960s.
The buildings were home to the songwriting teams of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and Carole King and Gerry Goffin, among many others, and from their offices and studios came a flood of teenage anthems, story songs and achy love songs fraught with the hormonal angst of the young.
For a time Ms. Greenwich and Mr. Barry, who was then her husband, were the most successful of the teams, especially when they wrote for the girl groups the Crystals, the Dixie Cups, the Shangri-Las and others.
In 1964 alone, 17 singles by Ms. Greenwich and Mr. Barry landed on the pop charts, according to "Always Magic in the Air," a 2005 book by Ken Emerson about the Brill Building days. They included "Chapel of Love," a No. 1 for the Dixie Cups, and "Do Wah Diddy Diddy," which became a No. 1 for Manfred Mann.
Ms. Greenwich and Mr. Barry also wrote "Be My Baby," "Baby I Love You" and "River Deep Mountain High" (all with Mr. Spector). They were also singers, recording their own songs and those of others as the Raindrops.
Perhaps their most famous song was "Leader of the Pack," which Ms. Greenwich and Mr. Barry wrote with the producer Shadow Morton. His previous hit, for the Shangri-Las, was the idiosyncratic "Remember (Walking in the Sand)," a song about a girl's heartbreak that included sound effects and spoken words.
"Leader of the Pack" made use of similar tools, creating what Mr. Barry called "a movie for the ear." Telling a soap-opera-like story of a girl who is in love with a biker but forbidden by her parents to see him, it ends with the biker's death as he speeds away from her after their breakup and crashes. The music is melodramatic "I met him at the candy store" was its signature wail and woven into it are the sounds of a revving motorcycle, the fatal crash and the cooing, speaking voices of the girl's friends.
"Leader of the Pack" was a No.1 hit for the Shangri-Las in 1964, and it became emblematic enough to be lampooned almost immediately by a band calling itself the Detergents, which recorded a song called "Leader of the Laundromat."
"Leader of the Pack" also became the title of a stage show, a theatrical collage of songs by Ms. Greenwich and others that made it to Broadway in 1985.
Eleanor Louise Greenwich was born in Brooklyn on Oct. 23, 1940. When she was 11 her father, William, an electrical engineer, and mother, Rose, a medical secretary, moved the family to Levittown, on Long Island. She attended Hofstra College, but her planned career as a teacher ended after only a few months when it became evident that she would rather write songs than stand in front of a class.
She got her break in 1962, when she showed up for an appointment at Trio Music, the company started by Mr. Leiber and Mr. Stoller, in the Brill Building. Mr. Leiber offered her a chance to use the company's resources in exchange for the right of first refusal to publish her songs.
She met Mr. Spector at Trio as well. He produced some of her early songs, written with Tony Powers, like "Why Do Lovers Break Each Other's Heart?," for Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, and "Today I Met the Boy I'm Gonna Marry," for Darlene Love.
Ms. Greenwich was also an arranger and producer, and she is generally given credit for discovering Neil Diamond. She co-produced Mr. Diamond's early hits, including "Cherry, Cherry" and "Kentucky Woman."
"Ellie Greenwich was one of the most important people in my career," Mr. Diamond said in a statement on Wednesday. "She discovered me as a down-and-out songwriter."
Ms. Greenwich's marriage to Mr. Barry ended in divorce. She is survived by a sister, Laura Weiner of Greenlawn, N.Y.

When I saw this, amid the typical cheerleading by the media, I was worried about the side effects. Thanks for a great post pointing out that yet again, the FDA is failing the American citizen and kowtowing to Big Pharma. This drug's affect on the brain is ALARMING to say the least.
If her brain chemistry is altered to the point that she is drugged into doing something that is not in her best interest, I can see this being used as a date rape drug.
There are conditions where a woman might have lowered libido and the root cause would not be discovered because it's too easy to push a pill than do any real detective work. But then if they got to the root cause, they wouldn't need the drug, because the problem would take care of itself.
Oh, wait…
There may be a new drug on the market later this year called Flibanserin. You've probably heard of it. It's being billed as the 'female Viagra.' You've heard of the innocuously named "little purple pill" for acid reflux, Nexium? Well, Flibanserin will be the "little pink pill" for sexual indifference.
The US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Drug Safety Oversight Board recently voted 18-6 to approve Flibanserin, a new drug developed by Sprout Pharmaceuticals, Inc. of Raleigh, NC aimed at treating low libido for women. Although the FDA has on two previous occasions opted to reject Flibanserin because it had concerns about the drug's safety and whether it even worked, the agency is now apparently expected to act favorably on the advisory panel's recommendation by August 18, 2015. And why shouldn't it. After all, an 18-6 vote is pretty convincing.
All those doctors voting in the affirmative wouldn't do so unless they were…

Montana's House speaker and other Republican lawmakers are criticizing Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock for flying the rainbow flag during Big Sky Pride instead of the state flag.
Speaker Greg Hertz, R-Polson, wrote in a Facebook post the flagpoles outside the Capitol should not be used as political speech. Republican Reps. Steve Gunderson of Libby and Derek Skees of Kalispell expressed similar sentiments.
The Great Falls Tribune reports Bullock requested the flag to fly on behalf of the LGBTQ community and Saturday's Big Sky Pride Parade in Helena, which drew several thousand people to downtown.
Bullock spokeswoman Marissa Perry says the rainbow flag was raised in celebration and in recognition of the gay community's contributions, and not as a political statement.
The rainbow flag is not the only flag that replaces the Montana state flag. Every year since the 1980s the Irish flag goes up on St. Patrick's Day, though it has not drawn concerns from lawmakers in the same way as the rainbow flag.
The POW/MIA flag is also a permanent fixture at the Capitol, below the U.S. flag, after Bullock signed an executive order to do so in 2013.
Later Monday, Hertz and Senate President Scott Sales, a Republican from Bozeman who is running for secretary of state in 2020, issued a statement saying flying the rainbow flag represented a "political movement" and that Bullock, who is running for his party's nominee to be president, did it because he is "trying to stand out among some of the most well-financed, radical, left-wing ideologues in America."
"Our state flag is a way we celebrate the rights of all Montanans every day and it should never be off display for political gain," the statement reads.
Kev Hamm, president of Big Sky Pride, said the group asked Bullock for the flag to fly over the Capitol in conjunction with the parade in Helena.
"Finally, for the first time in 129 years, we had our flag fly over the Capitol saying we matter," Hamm said Monday. "We asked for the flag to be up there, but we've also asked for decades to be recognized as human beings and we've been told no by people who are bigoted and fearful."
Hamm pointed out Bullock has spoken at the Pride event before, and Lt. Gov. Mike Cooney attended this year, while Bullock was campaigning in Massachusetts.
Shauna Goubeaux, president of 406 Pride in Billings, objected to calling Bullock flying the flag a political stunt.
"I don't think humanity is ever a political stunt. Human life is not a political stunt," Goubeaux said.
Hamm agreed.
"When it comes to equality, it shouldn't be political," Hamm said. "I would love it to not be a political thing, but because they cannot get it through their heads that we are human beings, they are making it political."
Earlier this month, media outlets around the world reported on U.S. embassies that defied a Trump administration edict not to fly rainbow flags during June, celebrated in the United States as Pride Month, ending a years-long practice.
Photos on social media, some posted on the embassies' official accounts, illustrated how embassies got around the ban in various ways, either by mounting the flag in windows, the sides of buildings or on fences. The U.S. embassy in New Delhi shined spotlights in rainbow colors on its façade.

SuperSub XXL 1600w Dual-Plane Inertially Balanced Subwoofer
"The SuperSub XXL has looks to kill and is built to ROCK THE HOUSE when duty calls."
– Sound & Vision
GoldenEar's "Audio Product of the Year" SuperSub Series subwoofers are ultra-high-performance compact subwoofers which incorporate many recently developed unique and advanced technologies and components. The goal was to create beautifully styled, finely finished, reasonably sized subwoofers that could generate very low frequency pressure waves of extremely high amplitude, while delivering accurate and precise low frequency performance that is both highly impactful and extremely musical. To achieve this, we have incorporated a unique, patented, 360 degree dual-plane inertially-balanced driver and sub-bass radiator topology, combined with a very advanced electronics package. With two active drivers separated horizontally in space, as well as two passive radiators separated vertically, the driver to-room coupling is distributed much more smoothly, for in-room bass performance that can't typically be achieved with a single subwoofer. Housed within the gorgeous piano gloss black enclosure are two horizontally-opposed 12" ultra-long-throw active drivers and two vertically-opposed 15" x 13" planar infrasonic radiators.

Most of the flap about Farouk Hosni becoming Director General of UNESCO comes from anti-Semitic remarks about not allowing (no, burning) any Hebrew texts in the new library at Alexandria. (A curious position to take not only because the place could stand to house a few more books; current expansion plans reportedly revolve around a McDonalds). Reporters Without Borders has more reasons:
President Hosni Mubarak's culture minister since 1987, Hosni has been one of the leading protagonists of government censorship in the Arab Republic of Egypt during this period, constantly seeking to control both press freedom and his fellow citizens' right to freedom of information.
Any attempt to found a newspaper in Egypt has to be endorsed by not only the High Press Council, which is headed by the president, but also by the Cabinet and by the various security services. A newspaper can be closed at any time if it is deemed to have published an article posing a threat to national security.
At the same time, the government owns 99 per cent of the country's newspaper retail outlets and has a monopoly of newspaper printing. This allows it to censor a newspaper at any time.
Even if privately-owned opposition and independent newspapers are on sale in newsstands alongside the government press, there are risks attached to being outspoken. A total of 32 articles in different laws – including the criminal code, the press law, the publications law, the law on state documents (which forbids journalists to access certain official documents), the civil service law and the political parties law – stipulate penalties for the media.
Hosni has been successful in bringing Egyptian writers and literature in general widely under the government fold. Festivals, prize and money from the government are a way, he's proved, to cut out criticism from those, the literary set, who might offer the most eloquent and convincing. Another nod then to Sonallah Ibrahim, who said simply, while on a stage with Hosni as he rejected a government prize: "We no longer have theater, cinema, or scientific research; we just have festivals, conferences, and false funds."

As has already been said it's a tough one to predict as West Ham are similar to Palace in many ways, they play better against the top sides and struggle against the bottom teams.
A point would be an ok result depending on how the Southampton Cardiff match goes and I reckon it will be 1-1 with Michy getting his first goal in red n blue

West Ham looked good against Liverpool. It's a shame we couldn't have snatched Antonio away before they remembered that he's good player. Anderson will provide a real test again for AWB, so hopefully he gets support. I think it'll be a close game but I think we can sneak another win and build on the last two games. 2-1.

Looking forward to it as West Ham are always a good team to play. I feel they are similar to us in many ways ... We might start playing 90 minutes of creative football instead of incorporating the usual 45 minutes of headless chicken nonsense. I'd like to think we'll edge it by the odd goal.

Three days ago Finally, three days after the scheduled time, but Aftonbladet envoy Donald Bostrom an interview with Eritrean president Issay Afwerki. But something new about Dawit Isaak did not arrive. His health is just out of fashion and no subject for discussion, let the President announce.
"I've never dedicated myself to the question"
Eritrean president Issay Afwerki
Asmara. emissary Donald Bostrom has been with the questions from readers of Aftonbladet to Eritrean President Issay Afwerki.
Here he answers questions.
How are things with Dawit Isaak's health, he lives? / Ola
– I do not know. I have never been engaged in the issue. But you have used it as blackmail against us. You have the upper hand and have bigger muscles, and haggle for your goodwill for us to do you a favor. It is a wrong mentality as us. You have destroyed a lot of your choice, except that in perspective. It is an insult to our intelligence when you constantly continues to push the issue again and again. You get to play the game elsewhere.
– This is a repetition of the questions you asked earlier and I responded to. I will not use more seconds to answer the kinds of questions.
What has happened over the last year in the relationship between Sweden and Eritrea? / Kent
– Honestly I do not know it. I do not know. Why should I think of Sweden? Why should I waste my time thinking of Sweden? A relationship is built on respect, two-way communication. But when one party, Sweden, in this case, do not want, despite a long historical relationship, we can not force ourselves on you. The imprisonment of Dawit Isaak hinder the relationship.
– They will always find excuses to get what they want. For that you'd rather serve American interests. When the U.S. is hostile to us, you are hostile towards us.
If this matter is resolved, it will still not help, do you mean?
– You will find a new excuse. Let us not play a fool's game over and over again. Nobody cares seriously about such a relationship. If your government wants to be kind to Washington, so we can not question it.
Sweden can give you something and Eritrea can give Sweden no? / Cecilia
– Eritrea is not important for Sweden. I can not see that we can export anything to Sweden. Our experience is that Sweden is only making it Washington wants them to do. I would not waste my time on things I can not change. I blame you not, in the U.S., you have a strategic partner, as well Eritrean with Swedish eyes have seen over there? Nothing at all.
Given what you said, have you thought about closing your embassy in Sweden and leave Sweden?
– I care more about our Eritrean group in Sweden, which is large and active, than on our embassy. Why do we need an Embassy? But it would probably be considered bad if we closed the embassy. An embassy is after all a job to do. But Sweden will disappear slowly away from our consciousness.
Can you explain why PJDF is the only authorized party in Eritrea, and will it be a change in the future? / Jonatan
– On the question, I can not see any other option for the foreseeable future. That is the question of a process of nation building. I can ponder the matter, but can not see any alternative at the moment. Do you think China is backward just because they have a party? It is the only way we have in this situation.
Why we have no choice in Eritrea? / Kidane (Eritrean, England)
– Choice is not an end, just a means. People may talk about democracy. I say we are a country in a process. People outside may have different opinions about it. What will happen if two or three generations time determine, but for now I say, even to those who ask the question with good intentions, this is the only option we have, based on our history and reality.
Are you not concerned that groups will resort to armed rebellion if you do not allow a democratic opposition? / Samuel
– Where are the groups? You ask for it in your imagination. But you must tell me where the groups are.
What economic system would you describe that Eritrea is developing. Is it a capitalist free market economy or is it a socialist economy? / Samuel
– I would not be drawn into such a simplified discussion. Economics is very simple. The production, distribution and consumption. The more you produce the better life you have. But you have to share it fairly. Jesus said it, Mohammed said that, I'm not talking about Lenin. What should we learn from the financial market collapse, with banking collapses and more poor people? Why is the gap between rich and poor? Everything boils down to increasing consumption, allocate fairly and that people are better off. What do you call it? Capitalism? Socialism? Do not waste time on creating stereotypes. Anyone who works should have, that does not work shall not take from those who work.
What is the impact of UN sanctions Eritrea? / Axel
– I do not know. They do not want us to buy weapons. They do not want to Official Eritreans are going. The whole thing is totally ridiculous. You have asked me why the UN does so with Eritrea. The reason is said to be that we are supporting factions in Somalia. Which we do. Our attitude is that Somalia should be left alone to solve their problems. This can never be a reason for the UN to impose sanctions on Eritrea. This is embarrassing for both countries in Europe and Washington. It also stands for a desperation, and one hopes that Ethiopia will be able to benefit from Eritrea punished.
If the EU brings in its aid to Eritrea, spoken of, how does it affect you? / Cecilia
– Not at all. We do not want assistance. Do not give us a free lunch. It means nothing. There are only in their imagination. It is their problem. Assistance makes you handicapped. Look at this continent and you'll find many handicapped countries. I do not want to make my country into a cripple. We do not need charity, which makes us lazy. Why do you devote yourself to using aid as a weapon? It is a completely warped perspective. Did you manage to change something in Africa? Better quality of life? Development? The worst of assistance is that you are entering a dark tunnel and can never turn back. You have no other choice once you are stuck in the trap. It's so nice to give me a free lunch, but please, do not do that.
But you received assistance from the EU?
– Not much. They have their conditions and we have ours. And they never met the conditions. We say that we can live without it. Is it charity or goodwill? We mated us. You preach that it is the solution to everything, but you have made life terrible everywhere in Africa with your assistance. High time to change it.
According to the International crise group is Eritrea, an isolated country. What relationships have Eritrea in other countries? / Lars
– What is the relationship? On what basis should we assume that you have a relationship? A relationship must be based on values. The label relationship or isolation based on a categorization of the Washington based political interests. If you want to demonize someone fits it to create a picture of isolation. This type of propaganda created by Hitler. To make a truth from a lie. Never before have so many Eritreans come on holiday to Eritrea this summer despite the bombardment of lies about us from various American lobby groups. So I ask what they mean by isolation.
What is the U.S. interest in attacking Eritrea?
– I do not want to overdo it. It has no particular interest in attacking Eritrea. The picture is bigger. U.S. has an agenda for Africa, one of the Middle East, its interest in oil, etc. The U.S. is not particularly hostile to Eritrea, the U.S. is hostile to all but the governments that are willing to serve the U.S. agenda, although it goes against pursue their own interests, such as Ethiopia and other countries must be supported politically and socially in order to survive. Governments that can not run the country on its own but depends on other forces. That is how the United States, under the Nixon doctrine, governing by proxy. That's exactly what we see all over Africa. But we stand outside it, we do not have bank accounts in Switzerland.
You are talking about the U.S. and abroad. Why do you think they do not resolve the conflict in the Middle East?
– Why should they? They have no interest in it. It is crisis management. The theory of constructive crises. If you believe in it, we have a problem. We have had very bad relations with Palestine, since they elected to support the Soviet regime in Addis Ababa. During the Cold War, we had to fight against the Soviets and the Mengistu regime in Addis. All Palestinian organizations left Eritrea and moved to Ethiopia and chosen to support them. We were abandoned. I met with Arafat later in Damascus, Beirut and elsewhere and said that we were betrayed by them. Arafat wanted us to resume the relationship, but I saw no reason for it. When we met in Cairo, he spoke of Israel as our masters. I let the insult caused. But under the Oslo agreement, I told him that it will never work. How long can you hold on to negotiate, you learn never anything? There is only one part of the game. He wanted to have dialogue, I said ok, let's talk. But the confrontation made matters worse. It was all just an illusion.
– U.S. can only obtain their resources by creating fear and survive by crisis management. Peace does not serve their agenda. It is a reality. It is unfortunate for the Israelis and the Arabs continue to live in enmity in this unending conflict. But if you have an army that Blackwater (an American security company), you must do business. You are a funeral director. People had to die. How do Blackwater survive without war? Would the wars end the U.S. would have a problem.
What is Eritrea's relationship to Israel?
– It is completely normal.
Reportedly, Israel has military bases in Eritrea.
– No, that's not true. But they have an embassy here. And we do not recognize the Palestinian Authority. Israel needs a government, we must respect this. The Palestinians also need to have a dignified life, but it can not be the West Bank or Gaza. A two-state solution will not work one day. It's just to fool people. The ideal solution that Israelis and Palestinians living in the same nation will never happen for many reasons. One option that may work is a Trans-Jordan. Israel may be left in peace and the Palestinian and Jordanian peoples are brought together and can create their own nation.
What are the plans to begin exploring the Eritrean oil and gold deposits? / Daniel
– I just got the report yesterday. These are some thirty companies from almost as many countries involved in the project. It's all about gold, silver, copper and tin. There are huge assets, which will in time at the end of this year. The oil we take later. What this means for our economy, I would not go into. We do like Norway. The assets are for the generations to come. We do not need big money. We create a secure foundation for the future by improving roads, organize clean water, build houses and schools, energy, good health and good education. That is how we create a sustainable future. Not by buying big houses and get bank accounts in Switzerland. These resources will be invested here.
Will not you strategically for the future and security of making bad relationships good?
– It's because you come from a country where you think everything is about give and take. A partnership can not be based on one at the donor and the other is receiver. If one thinks it's donors and are dealing with someone you think should be the recipient's attitude is completely different. I do not buy it. Change your language, change your attitude. Think of partnerships, large or small, we are all human after all. You think that a good relationship is that I should conduct myself well and say yes to everything you say, agree to everything bad you are doing is good. Such an attitude must change.
– I learned three things from the bible when I was young that we must be wary of. Greed, arrogance and materialism, or the love of money. Satan tested Jesus with these three things, he passed the test. The values we want to live by.

JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU) today announced the airline is celebrating Bastille Day with seats now on sale to Guadeloupe in the French Caribbean. JetBlue will expand the airline's leadership position in the Caribbean and Latin America with new service between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Guadeloupe's Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport (PTP) (a). Roundtrip flights will operate three times per week on Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays starting February 1, 2020.
To celebrate JetBlue's new service and in honor of Bastille Day, France's National Day ? marked each year on July 14 to commemorate a key milestone in the French Revolution in 1789 ? JetBlue is offering an introductory fare of $147 one-way (b).
"A long-time favorite getaway spot for French and other Western Europeans travelers, we can't wait to introduce our JetBlue customers to this unique corner of the Caribbean," said Andrea Lusso, director route planning, JetBlue. "And as the only airline to serve Guadeloupe from the northeastern United States, JetBlue adds yet another, unique destination to our growing route map."
Seen from above, the two main islands of Guadeloupe form the shape of butterfly wings. On the west side, Basse-Terre is set on a volcano range, topped by La Soufrière at the heart of dense tropical forests. The rainforest-covered mountain range form part of a national park, which includes many hiking trails. To the east, just across the narrow la Rivière Salée, Grande-Terre is set on a vast limestone plateau bordered by perfect beaches, turquoise lagoons which share the coastline with amazing surfing spots and unforgettable landscapes. The smaller, but equally beautiful islands of Marie Galante, Les Saintes and La Désirade are just a short ferry ride from the main islands.
Culturally, the Guadeloupe Islands are bound together by a rich ethnic diversity that characterizes their folklore, language, music and beliefs. A land of many influences -- African, European, Indian, American and the Far East -- the Guadeloupe archipelago has a multi-faceted identity where Indian rites, African memory and the rule of the 17th century colonists are part of everyday life.
"JetBlue's new air service to Guadeloupe was highly anticipated by New Yorkers and Guadeloupeans," said Ary Chalus, President of the Guadeloupe Islands Tourist Board. "We will be celebrating the new route in New York with brand ambassador Willy Monfret and JetBlue during Pinknic ? the annual rosé Pinknic and music festival July 19-20 ? and again when the winter inaugural flight takes off during the heat of our legendary three-month Carnival season."
To continue the celebration beyond Bastille Day, Guadeloupe Islands Tourist Board will celebrate the new JetBlue route at New York's two-day Pinknic event with a special pop-up event and prize tent. Pinknic features delightful wines complemented with delicious food prepared by local chefs, as well as entertainment from world-renowned bands and DJs.

Grace and Phil had a beautiful wedding in Charlotte, North Carolina. The rain changed their plans a bit, but that didn't detract from the location, the ceremony, or the love everyone saw that day. Grace and Phil are also the talented photographers behind QuoteLife Photography and have a great eye for details, as was evident in their wedding–from the paper cranes Phil folded that adorned the reception site to the centerpieces and cake stand. Grace's bouquet was dreamy and gorgeous, and I can vouch for the deliciousness of the cake (which I wouldn't mind having as I type this). The most important thing, though, was seeing how much fun they have together and that they really love each other and simply enjoy each other. I wish you both the best!
Special thanks goes to Lindsay Aikman for second shooting!

Canadian Blog House received compensation from Denver Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Stephen Weber, to bring you this post about dermal fillers. As always, we recommend you talk to your own doctor before undertaking any medical procedure, to ensure it is right for you and your health.
Marionette lines, crows feet, furrow lines: What fillers are best for these problem areas?
People who are unhappy with furrows, crows' feet, and marionette lines have several options to reduce, soften or even remove them. One of those options is dermal fillers. Dermal fillers not only improve these wrinkles but, are minimally invasive and safe. Dermal fillers are outpatient procedures, and the patient can leave the office of their dermatologist or aesthetician right after the treatment is over.
Why Do Wrinkles Form?
Wrinkles are the price humans pay for being able to make facial expressions. This is because the skin of the face, unlike skin everywhere else on the body, is interspersed with muscle. This allows people to frown, smile, wrinkle their brow, purse their lips and laugh. When a person is young and their skin is at their most elastic, it snaps back into place after these facial movements. But after a while, the skin, especially the second layer called the dermis, starts to lose its ability to snap back. Eventually, wrinkles, lines, and furrows are permanent. Taking care of the skin can delay this for a bit, but smoking and exposure to the sun accelerates it.
Wrinkle Terms
Marionette Lines
These are lines that run down from the corners of a person's mouth. They were given the name because they resemble the lines around the mouth of a marionette. They can make even the most cheerful person look disgruntled.
Crow's Feet
Crow's feet are wrinkles around the eyes that happen when a person smiles or laughs, so they are also called laugh lines. They resemble the impression of a crow's feet in the snow. Some people don't mind them, because they believe these lines make them seem cheerful and approachable, unlike marionette lines. Others would like to be rid of them.
Glabellar Lines
These are vertical wrinkles that appear between the person's eyebrows and extend a bit into their forehead. They are also called frown lines because they appear when a person frowns. When they're permanent, they can make a person seem cranky and older than they really are.
Forehead Wrinkles
These are also called worry lines, and they happen when a person constantly wrinkles their forehead when they are anxious or stressed.
Which Dermal Fillers Are Best
Most dermal fillers can be used in most areas of the face and neck, but some are better in some areas than others. Indeed, the FDA may have approved a dermal filler for a specific type of wrinkle, even though it is regularly used for other types.
Collagen is a natural protein found in the body that not only helps skin remain supple but helps to build bone, tendons, and ligaments. A more diluted form of collagen is used to reduce the look of crow's feet, while a thicker version deals with frown lines and marionette lines, which are found in thicker skin.
Collagen is collected from the skin of either human cadavers or cattle. Though it is purified, a person needs to undergo a skin test before they are injected with this dermal filler. The test takes about a month, and if all is well, the patient's aesthetician injects them with the best type of collagen for their problem. Depending on the condition of the patient's skin, the improvements can last as little as two or three months or as long as eighteen months.
Hyaluronic Acid
This is also a natural material found in the body. It draws and locks in moisture that keeps skin elastic and hydrated. The hyaluronic gel used as a dermal filler is synthetic, so the patient does not have to be tested to determine whether or not they're allergic. It is used for deeper lines such as frown lines and marionette lines
Calcium Hydroxylapatite
This dermal filler is also a natural product. Made of phosphate and calcium, it is present in the teeth and bones. It is injected into the deep layers of the skin as microscopic spheres that the body breaks down and absorbs. Because of this, it is excellent for marionette lines and deep lines that stretch from the corners of the nostrils to the corners of the mouth called nasolabial folds.
Polymethyl-methacrylate, or PMMA, is made of a suspension of millions of microspheres in bovine collagen. It is considered a permanent filler, while the others discussed are temporary. It is often chosen by people who have had temporary fillers and now want something more long-lasting. Since it is partially made of collagen, this dermal filler requires a patient to have an allergy test before it's used. It is an excellent choice to soften the look of nasolabial folds.
If you want to correct frown lines, marionette lines, crow's feet and other wrinkles, don't hesitate to set up a consultation with Dr. Stephen Weber, who is a Denver cosmetic surgeon specializing in dermal fillers. He is a Diplomat of the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, the American Board of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery and the American College of Surgeons. Call (303) 792-2224.

Dear President Juncker,
(CC. First Vice-President Timmermans, Vice-President Katainen, Commissioner Andriukaitis, Secretary General Italiener)
On behalf of the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Association (EFPIA), we regret that your State of the European Union speech did not devote more attention to Europe's role in protecting and improving health across the Union.
In particular, we call on you to take decisive action with regard to the global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the biggest threat of the modern era to lives, health and health systems across Europe and worldwide. Without policy action, a post-antibiotic era could cost 10 million lives globally every year by 2050, corresponding to a cumulative cost of 100 trillion USD of global GDP1.
We call on you to publish urgently the follow up to the European AMR Action Plan of 2011 which will expire in November. We hope that this Action Plan will be as ambitious as the challenge is great and will: include aspects concerning national plans – with appropriate targets; pilot new ways to research and commercialise new antibiotics; and offer an overview of legislative measures to be taken at EU-level to tackle antibiotic misuse across all sectors.
We draw your attention to the need for appropriate resources and governance in order, from 2016, for the plan to adequately and appropriately respond to the scale and urgency of this challenge. We also call on you to mobilise efforts in public health diplomacy towards G7, G20, and the UN – similar to the leading role taken by Europe in ensuring a framework of commitments to tackle climate change.
The threat of drug-resistant infections in a post-antibiotic era threatens Europe with a return to the "dark ages of medicine", where routine surgical procedures and interventions, such as chemotherapy, become life-threatening in themselves and simple infections may once again prove to be death sentences. We trust your services, in cooperation with Member States, will make every effort to ensure Europe takes a global leadership role in averting this and putting Europe and the world on course for a future in the best possible health for all.
We are looking forward to working together with the Commission and Member States on this important topic.
Richard Bergström
Director General

Campion College - CM Auditorium
Historians, philosophers, journalists and scientists often assume that investigation in mature science advances by using fundamental theories to explain more and more phenomena. For example, many assume that genetics is based on the discovery that genes are the fundamental actors behind biological processes, and that geneticists are now working out exactly how they direct (or misdirect) those processes.
Waters will use the example of genetics to illustrate a different account. On his account, scientists do not have a fundamental understanding of complex phenomena such as biological development. What they have are effective strategies for intervening on complex biological processes, which enables them to learn about these processes in a partial and piecemeal fashion. He will conclude with the suggestion that interpreting scientific knowledge in the context of investigation (as illustrated in his talk) offers society a better perspective for understanding both the successes and the limitations of science.

The Latest: German minister lauds IAEA head's Iran deal role
VIENNA (AP) — The Latest on reaction to the death of Yukiya Amano, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (all times local):
2:25 p.m.
Germany's foreign minister says Yukiya Amano, the late chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, "made the IAEA stronger."
Foreign Minister Heiko Maas on Monday cited the role of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog in monitoring Iran's compliance with a landmark deal with world powers as an example of Amano's "biggest-possible dedication, professionalism and independence."
Germany is one of the countries that participated in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and is now scrambling to salvage it following the withdrawal of the United States.
The IAEA announced Amano's death at age 72 but did not say when he died or what the cause was.
12:50 p.m.
Japan's Foreign Ministry is praising Yukiya Amano, the late chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
In a statement, it says Amano not only tackled international non-proliferation issues such as North Korea's nuclear weapons issue and Iran's nuclear program but also contributed to development with "atoms for peace and development" as a goal.
It said, following the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant accident, Amano led "international efforts to improve nuclear safety based on the lessons learned from the accident while providing support for Japan." The agency offered its "deepest condolences" to his family.
The Tokyo Electric Power Co., which ran the nuclear plant in Fukushima, northeastern Japan, where three reactors sank into meltdowns after a tsunami in 2011, also praised the diplomat, saying it "received so much support and guidance on the decommissioning efforts" at the power plant from him.
12 p.m.
Jackie Wolcott, the U.S. ambassador to international organizations in Vienna, has expressed her "deepest condolences ... upon the sad news" of International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano's death.
Wolcott on Monday said Amano "was greatly respected as an effective leader, diplomat, and true gentleman by the entire staff of the U.S. Mission and by fellow diplomats and civil servants across the United States government."
She said in a statement that "much of Mr. Amano's life was dedicated to international peace, security, and development, not just his decade-long tenure as Director General of the IAEA but also throughout his diplomatic career, which included service in the United States."
Amano was 72.
11:50 a.m.
Iran's deputy foreign minister has expressed his condolences over the death of Yukiya Amano, the head of the IAEA which monitored and verified Iran's compliance with the nuclear related restrictions set by the 2015 nuclear deal.
Seyed Abbas Araghchi has tweeted that he had worked very closely with Amano and has commended his skills and professionalism on the job as head of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
He said their work together confirmed Iran's full compliance with Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the nuclear accord Iran struck with world powers in 2015 that's unraveling under pressure from the Trump administration. The U.S. unilaterally withdrew from the accord a year ago and Iran has recently inched past limits of its uranium enrichment set out in the accord.
11 a.m.
The European Union's foreign policy chief has expressed sadness over the death of Yukiya Amano, the International Atomic Energy Agency's director general.
Federica Mogherini tweeted Monday that she was saddened by Amano's death and called him "a man of extraordinary dedication & professionalism, always at the service of the global community in the most impartial way."
Amano, a former Japanese diplomat, had extensive experience in disarmament and non-proliferation diplomacy, as well as nuclear energy issues, and had been chief of the key agency that regulates nuclear issues worldwide since 2009.
The news of his death comes at a time of increasing concern and escalating tensions about Iran's nuclear program after the United States left a landmark 2015 deal with world powers that restricted Iran's nuclear uranium enrichment program.
Mogherini said it had been a "great pleasure and privilege working with him."
9:20 a.m.
Yukiya Amano, the International Atomic Energy Agency's director general, has died at 72, the agency announced Monday.
Amano, a former Japanese diplomat, had extensive experience in disarmament and non-proliferation diplomacy, as well as nuclear energy issues, and had been chief of the key agency that regulates nuclear issues worldwide since 2009.
The news of his death comes at a time of increasing concern and escalating tensions about Iran's nuclear program after the United States left a 2015 deal with world powers that restricted the country's nuclear uranium enrichment. Amano was heavily involved in the yearslong negotiations that led to the Iran nuclear treaty.
The Secretariat did not give a cause of death for Amano, or say when he died. The IAEA said its flag will be lowered to half-mast.

Buildings with large window panes are important energy consumers. The air-conditioning often runs in 'overdrive' in order to avoid a greenhouse effect, resulting in excessive CO2 emission and a lofty energy bill. Alternatives such as screening or obscuration create a dark space perception and additionally generate extra energy costs due to extra artificial lighting. Natural light is still important, but at the same time the thermal comfort for the visitor has to remain ideal at approximately 21°C, for a pleasantly fresh feeling in the summer and a sufficiently warm environment in the winter. So it comes down to finding a sun blocking, insulating and energy saving solution that pays off the whole year round.
Tour lilleuropeThe 'Tour Euralille' building is a 110 m high office building consisting of 25 floors. The building offers 24,000 m² of office space. This prestigious tower is situated in the very centre of the business district Euralille (France) At the end of 2009 its owner, BNP Paribas, decided to have 7,000 m² of windows lined with the sun-reflecting Umisol® glass foils of Umisol Group NV from Sint-Niklaas, Belgium.
Umisol Group NV/SA is the European market leader in the field of high-technology, intelligent performance glass foils that fit in an overall concept of energy saving and reduction of CO2 emissions. Result? The convenience of advice, installation and long-term guarantee.
The Umisol Optimus glass foils are spectrally selective glass foils with spectacular sun shielding properties and also a very good insulating effect during winter. The revolutionary technology results in highly heat reflecting glass foils with a superior optical clarity and very low heat absorption. The Umisol® glass foils are composed of 5 corrosion proof precious metal alloys and a protective layer. Each layer reflects a specific frequency in the sun light without the quality of the light being affected.
The glass foils reduce the costs of your air conditioning system. Installation of Umisol® Clear View glass foils greatly reduces the cooling capacity that is required of an airco system. This way your air conditioning installation uses considerably less energy, which is good news both for the environment and your budget.
During winter, the inside heath (which is normally lost through vast glass expanses) is reflected into the room, which results in an average saving of up to 30% on heating costs, depending on the glass type. As a result, rises in temperature of 2°C up to 4°C are feasible. This is why the foils are also applied on the northern sides of building.
Also UV radiation can be blocked for 99%, which avoids discolouration of carpets, furniture and artwork. This intelligent foil is always applied on the inside of the glazing and is suitable for any type of glass, even slanted glazing
Umisol Group NV has already lined a.o. 2,300 m² of windows with glass foil in the building of the European Commission-Environment DG in Brussels, where the Climate Change and Kyoto department is accommodated, and the window panes of the dome-shaped building of European Parliament. Also, Umisol Group NV recently refurbished quite some government buildings with a Umisol touch in collaboration with the federal energy services company FEDESCO (www.fedesco.be).

The Girls' Water Polo Team Prepares for Their Upcoming Season
October 29, 2018
The girls' water polo team's season starts in early December, and it is coming up soon. Right now, the team is preparing for their upcoming season in different ways. They want to do well and win as many games as they can, so varsity started preparing in the spring, and junior varsity started preparing in the fall. To get the full story on how they are preparing, I sat down with Mr. Dave Carlson, the head coach of girls' water polo.
The varsity team, which has won Sunset League the last three years, has been preparing for their upcoming season in many different ways. They have been doing individual fundamentals in the weight room, and one morning practice a week. They are in the toughest league in Southern California, so they also have been scrimmaging against teams that are better than them- college teams in the summer, and strong 18 and under club teams now that the school year has started. They are also part of the Monday Night League at Santa Margarita Catholic High School, which is the top girls water polo program in Southern California. Most importantly though, they have been spending lots of time together and bonding together as a team.
The junior varsity team, which has won Sunset League the last two years, has been preparing for their upcoming season in many different ways, too. They have one morning practice per week, and practice daily after school. They do a lot of individual fundamentals and spend time in the weight room. They are also in the same Monday Night League as varsity, and again, they spend lots of time together and do lots of team bonding, which is important to their performance during games.
Mr. Carlson also wanted to let everyone know that the team has a strong senior class, and the four team captains, Tara DeBrabander, Katie Dvonch, Lily Weiser, and Eva Browning, are all on track to go to a Division I college. Also, all the girls on the team are looking forward to the upcoming season.
As you can tell, the teams have been putting in lots of work to ensure a great season and many wins. You should support them and all they have been doing by attending their games, and the first one is in the first week of December, so keep a look out for the exact date.

I remember when I first started blogging. I didn't know what to write, I just knew I wanted to write. I've been writing for years, and years. It was how I expressed myself, besides photography. I love sitting at my laptop and watching my finger fly over the keyboard and these little symbols (letters) pop up and create a story, a journey.
When I started my blog (I don't know how many years ago), I wanted to be heard. I wanted to talk about stuff that's relatable. Something.
Then I came across this blog: Random Ramblings
And it was like something clicked. These posts about daily life's struggles. These posts about someone who was going through life just as cluelessly as I was. These posts that had deeper meaning even without being all philosophical. I was astonished.
I started writing about my life, my past, my ideas….me.
I wrote about things that happened in my life, things that mattered to me, things that meant something to me, and hoped that someone else would see things in my perspective as well and understand where I was coming from. I hoped to get followers. I hoped to get likes. I wanted to know I was being heard.
But now?
I write. I blog. I rant. I vent. I tell stories. I imagine ideas. I write.
Despite whether I get likes or the number of followers on my blog increases, I know my words are out there. I know my ideas are out in the open. I, myself, am getting heard.
And that's all that matters. I wanted to be heard. I am.

Kattendijk Lock
The Kattendijk lock was in operation until 1994 at which point it was decommissioned due to its poor condition, outdated equipment and long waiting times due to the tide.
The renovation of the Kattendijk lock formed part of the Antwerp Mobility Master Plan and the aim was to have yachts and recreational boats sail directly to the docks around the Eilandje. Formerly a long detour around to the Royers lock had to be completed.
The project also included the design and construction of a movable bridge over the lock for road traffic. It is a retractable bridge that retracts under the road surface and above the abutment when a boat wants pass. The traffic has a single lane in each direction, separated from pedestrians and cyclists.
Below the road surface, the lock gates were replaced and immediately raised to flood protection height. The electromechanical components of the lock were also renovated. Above ground, the 2 lock keeper houses were also thoroughly renovated.
SBE was responsible for the complete detail design relating to the renovation of the Kattendijk lock in the port of Antwerp. This included the detail design of:
- the lock gates (steel & wood): 8 low point doors and 2 high point doors;
- the retractable bridge: a bridge that runs horizontally along open and closed over the lock;
- the lock structure (concrete);
- the corresponding structures in and around the lock complex.

80s advertising Camaro Chevrolet M.A.S.K. Matt Trakker Thunderhawk
Did Camaro Print and TV Ads Influence Kenner's Choice For Thunder Hawk?
I often wonder how the creators and producers of M.A.S.K. came up with the vehicles selections. It's possible they struck a deal with manufacturers to use specific vehicles for the toys/animated series and really didn't have a struggle. However, I'd like to think at some point they created a wish list of all popular vehicles that they wanted to use and had a roundtable discussion. If that happened, then you know the minds of M.A.S.K. also gathered a great deal of print and TV advertisements of the time to make their decision.
I decided to do some research specifically for M.A.S.K.'s main vehicle Thunder Hawk to see if my theory could be true. I'll let you be the judge of the results, but I'm pretty convinced that print ads, showroom brochures, and TV commercials definitely impacted the decision for Thunder Hawk to be a Chevy Camaro. With the angles and lighting effects in the images below, you can see how the Camaro almost flies off the pages. Add in the flashy, street-legal racecar perception in the TV commercials and it appears the Camaro was at the top of the list for Matt Trakker's jet in disguise.
Take a look at these Camaro print ads and TV commercials I found from the 1983-85 era. Can you see how they might have impacted the M.A.S.K. creators at Kenner?

Heritage – It is ours to preserve
Why do you choose to live in New Edinburgh? There are many different reasons, but no doubt somewhere on your list are factors such as the village-scale community, peaceful ambiance, historic character with some charming old homes, quaint lanes to explore and lots of green space.
Perhaps we sometimes take these things for granted, but we have them to enjoy today because, over the decades, New Edinburgh residents have been vigilant in their efforts to maintain the quality of life in this neighbourhood. Sometimes there has been a conspicuous call to the barricades, as when the threat of the Vanier Parkway Extension galvanized the community into a major campaign that lasted throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s before its successful conclusion. At other times, we all benefit from the willingness of a concerned individual to embark on a sensitive restoration of their property, whether it be heritage or otherwise.
It can be difficult to keep track of all the construction projects across New Edinburgh, or to sort through the by-laws that determine what can be built, how high, and where. So how do we ensure the character of New Edinburgh that we enjoy is preserved, and development projects are scrutinized to encourage compatibility with the existing neighbourhood? There is one mechanism working towards this goal on behalf of all residents of the Burgh – the NECA Heritage and Development Committee.
New Edinburgh Heritage Conservation District
Download the 2016 Heritage Conservative District Plan here!
New Edinburgh is one of the most historic parts of Ottawa. As its current residents, we have a shared responsibility to protect and promote its special character so that this heritage resource can be enjoyed by us and by subsequent generations.
While each part of New Edinburgh has its treasures, there is one large section – bound by Sussex Drive, MacKay Street, Dufferin Road and Stanley Avenue – that has been specifically recognized because of its significant number of historic houses, churches, other structures, its back lanes, plus impressive "streetscapes". Through the determined collaborative effort of residents and City staff, this area became officially designated by the City and the Province as a formal Heritage Conservation District (HCD), conferring special protection upon it.
The City has installed two bilingual plaques to publicize the existence of the Heritage Conservation District. These plaques are located at the corner of Stanley and Thomas Streets, and at Stanley and Dufferin Road. We encourage you to seek them out.
2015 Update of New Edinburgh's Heritage Conservation District Plan
In consultation with members of the New Edinburgh Community Alliance and Heritage Ottawa, City Heritage staff have drafted a new Heritage Conservation District Plan for New Edinburgh. The Plan will include policies and guidelines for managing existing heritage resources, adding to buildings and new construction in the heritage conservation district.
The new Plan will replace the current guidelines approved by City Council in 2001.
New Edinburgh Heritage Walking Trail
NECA has published an illustrated brochure that highlights New Edinburgh's heritage credentials by means of a self-guided walking trail. It connects together all 17 of the individually-designated heritage buildings in the neighbourhood, 16 of which are located within the HCD. An earlier version of the trail was published in NEN two years ago. It has now been amended and reformatted as a more convenient and durable brochure, available in English and in French.
Preparation of the brochure was a major undertaking involving several community volunteers. The photographs were taken by Louise Imbeault, the fine ink sketches were drawn by John Farmer, and the two maps were prepared by Clare Robertson. Translation was undertaken by Anne-Sophie Belzile, production was coordinated by Cindy Parkanyi, and Katherine Arkay worked on sponsorship, distribution, and a whole lot more.
The actual cost of printing was covered by funds from NECA, a grant from the City of Ottawa, a contribution by an informal group known as Friends of New Edinburgh Heritage, and sponsorship by 10 local businesses: Books on Beechwood, Clocktower Brew Pub, Dale Smith Gallery, Epicuria, Fraser Café, Lester's, New Edinburgh B & B, New Edinburgh Pharmacy, New Edinburgh Pub, and the SconeWitch.
The heritage brochure is available at the Rideau Hall Visitor Centre, and has been distributed throughout the neighbourhood and beyond.

Baby 'O'
At first I thought that I will update my second post after a day of my 1st, but unfortunately I was caught up with workload of repairing my beloved Baby 'O'.
Yes, some of you may know that me and my wife just received a baby, but this baby is not that one. Baby 'O' is Baby Oren.
And here it is... I don't want to go through the details in this post, so will update later on that. With an ambitious expectation of finishing the job within a day, so that I can went to work on the next day, little that I know that a book salesman with a HND in Business IT and a passion for cars are not a mechanic. It took 3 days to change the freaking piston, not to mention a help from my 'father in law' and his friend 'Am'...
The best part is, it doesn't end here, I have to re-adjust the cam and re-tune unichip, or face 2 consequence:
- ignition knocking or
- valve and piston kissing muah2

Okay, we're really cooking now - 1986 was an awesome year for movies, lots of adventure and excitement. Jim Henson brought us David Bowie in tights in Labyrinth, and hearts were set aflutter. Kurt Russell did a comic/action turn in Big Trouble In Little China (makes for a good double-bill with Buckaroo Banzai, by the way). Ferris Bueller's Day Off gave us a day in the life of the coolest high schooler ever. Stand By Me introduced us to a few stars before their time and made us swear to never walk through a swamp. The Name Of The Rose was a compelling mediaeval murder mystery with a fantastic solution. Our Federation heroes came to visit in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Musicals were fun again with Little Shop Of Horrors ("You'll Be A Dentist" was all over the radio as I recall). Ripley returned for a more action-oriented Aliens. And David Cronenberg took Hollywood tall couple Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum and ruined their lives in The Fly.
I did say adventure, right? Here's my choice for 1986:
For those unfamiliar with it, here's the background: throughout the ages, some people have arisen who are immortal, and eventually they have to battle until there is only one standing. The only way to kill an immortal is to decapitate them. When one immortal kills another immortal, the victor takes the power of the loser. The winner of the final battle wins 'the prize.' Got it?
I absolutely love this movie. What we get are lots of epic sword fights, multi-century flashbacks, sweeping crane shots, awesome transitions. Honestly, I can't think of another film that makes such great use of these angles and shots, it's like another character.
Oh, and a kick-ass soundtrack by Queen, all songs written specifically for the film and for the exact scenes in which they appear - you can't always say that, can you?
But it's not perfect - Christopher Lambert, who can't lose his French accent, plays our Scottish hero Connor MacLeod, while Sean Connery, who can't lose his Scottish accent, plays Ramirez, an Egyptian from Spain. And the women in this movie really don't do anything but scream and need to be rescued. Confused? Don't worry, Clancy Brown is The Kurgen, the ultimate bad guy - the scene in the church is my favourite in the whole movie.
And there's a lot of comic relief too, from fish falling from MacLeod's kilt to the survival nut to the duel on the riverbank. Also: "What does 'incompetent' mean? What does 'baffled' mean?"
This spawned a 90s TV series about Connor's cousin Duncan, which ran for several seasons and used the excellent theme from the movie ("Princes Of The Universe"), I'll leave it to you whether you think it was as good as the movie.
What did you think of Highlander? Were you unfortunate enough to have seen the sequel?

Atlanta Hawks land Jeremy Lin From Brooklyn Nets
The Atlanta Hawks obtained watch Jeremy Lin from the Brooklyn Nets for a 2020 second-round draft pick and the rights to 2016 second-round draft pick Isaia Cordinier, a man with coordinate learning of the exchange revealed to USA TODAY Sports.

There is a sale on McCalls etc patterns. I had a heap of them ready to go in my cart before dinner, but now the site is crashing :(
Edit: after a few hours they must have fixed it but when I first checked there was nothing in my basket so I started again... At some stage I looked at my basket total to find I had over 24 patterns!!! What? Apparently it had remembered my previous order. Anyhow, I got my order in - you can order up to 15 before you are charged $100 postage, but I think $50 odd is far too much already.

I'm working on a project whose deadline has already passed. I wish I could say this is unusual, but it's not. I've been in this situation many times before, on multiple projects, at multiple companies. Whenever it happens, my reaction always starts out the same. I feel stressed and the need to work harder. Then the rest of my brain catches up and I start to think about how to deal with the situation.
My approach to this has changed over the years. I used to focus on how to get the work done at all costs, using tactics like working extra hours and testing my changes in smaller increments. As I gained an appreciation for maintainable code, I added refactoring to my arsenal of reactions. Today I pause to look around a little before diving back in. I want to be very aware of how my work fits into the bigger picture.
Many employers publish a list of their company values. These are often vague documents that talk about positive ideals like "teamwork" and "excellence". Sometimes people add "fun" to the list, which has a nice human feeling quality to it. In addition to the company-wide values, there are also values associated with the smaller groups of people who work together. These values are occasionally enumerated in a team wiki but usually just shared verbally like tribal knowledge.
In theory I should be able to compare my work to the list and see everything line up. Teamwork? Check. Excellence? Sure. "Welcome changing requirements, even late in development." I guess…
The trouble comes when business needs conflict with engineering realities. A product-driven business needs a working product. The market has a temporary sweet spot, where a certain feature set delivered during a specific window of opportunity will provide a significant amount of value to a select group of people. All of this translates into a deadline for me and my code.
Engineering is hard work. It's difficult to predict how long it will take to build a complex system. Even if my team and I execute perfectly, the project cannot be reduced beyond its minimum viable product. Either the business waits for its completion or it continues on without it. Someone gets to choose.
Given this pressure, it's very tempting to start cutting corners. Once a few teams start doing that, it quickly becomes the company culture. We need to finish by a certain date, so let's skip the unit tests. We had planned to build a continuous integration system, but now we're out of time, so let's skip that too. We had intended to automate a tedious process, but it's easy to do it by hand, so we'll save that for another day. These decisions have huge future consequences.
Everyone knows this, but what can we do about it? One method is to be very careful while planning new work, so potential risks are identified early. Another method is to frequently reevaluate the status of a project and keep stakeholders in the loop, so the backlog of work can be kept accurate. Drop tasks that aren't strictly needed. Prioritize. Make it obvious when a task is blocked and proactively address it. Don't neglect technical debt. But all of this is beside the point. At the end of the day, we have to acknowledge the differences between our culture (get stuff done soon) and our stated values (get stuff done right).
So as I chase after my arbitrary deadline, I ponder where my Git commits are going. I can see that they're changing text in a source code repository. That's a good start. Those same commits are also consuming disk space, using electricity, racking up licensing fees, saving time, earning revenue, moving Gantt charts, and impacting the culture of my coworkers. I have a responsibility to make sure that everyone impacted by the change is aware of how it impacts the whole ecosystem.
Someone will choose whether to wait for my project to be completed or not, based on whatever information has reached them by that time. If I do my job well, that will be an easy decision. I'm not sure who it will be, but someone gets to choose.

Former T-Bones associates continue careers in sports
It's a dream for many people who work in minor-league baseball to reach that next level. Ultimately, just like players on the field, front office and other on-field people in to reach "the show."
During the T-Bones' 10 years in Kansas City, several former associates have gone to the next level – whether that level has meant the next step in baseball, another sport or to the corporate world.
The following list is a sampling of those former T-Bones associates and interns who have moved on to other sports-related careers (Name – T-Bones Department – Current Job):
• Kevin Bell – Tickets – Account Executive, Kansas City Royals
"As I think back now to my experience with the T-Bones, I think mainly about the traditions instilled and the people," said former manager Tim Doherty, who spent the 2012 season as a coaching staff assistant with the Boston Red Sox. Before that, Doherty served on the T-Bones' coaching staff in a variety of positions from 2003-11. "We tried to instill a tradition of winning – although we weren't always successful – but it was about the team, the city and the front office. The team honored so many great people around Kansas City from the Frank Whites of the city to first responders and military personnel. You never forget things like that.
The T-Bones wish all of their former employees the best in their endeavors, whether it's in sports or not. If you would like to be a part of the T-Bones family, the application process for our 2013 summer internship program is underway. For more information, please click here.
During the upcoming weeks, tbonesbaseball.com will be catching up with many of these former associates for our "Friday Flashback" segment.
