Projects & News Spry Civil Construction
The Murray Bridge Racing Club
The Murray Bridge Racing Club, Gifford Hill is in the final stages of construction before this world class facility is opened up to the public for the inaugural event programmed for June 2019. Spry Civil Construction has been awarded two projects at Gifford Hill to connect the facility together. The first project scope is to complete the construction of the carpark, mounting yard and parade ring that is located behind and around the new buildings. The scope consists of drainage installation, general earthworks, kerbing, footpaths, asphalt, line marking and signage.
The second project scope of works is the construction of a synthetic track base and jogging track that are located in the centre of the course. These tracks will be used by the trainers to condition the horses for the upcoming racing. The scope on this project consists of general earthworks, drainage works, irrigation installation, fencing, and pavement works.
Spry Civil Construction are proud to be continuing our relationships with local organisations and look forward to seeing the race course in action later this year.
The Bend Motorsports Park
Spry have had some involvement in the construction of "The Bend" throughout the 3 years of construction of this state of the art motorsports facility right here in South Australia. Spry were involved in the installation of key services to support the Pit Building and Paddock Area, excavation for signage billboard footings and installation, informal road construction in selected areas on the property.
Scout Australia 25th Jamboree
Together with 'Ridley's Plumbing', also another local Murray Bridge Contractor, Spry Civil Construction were engaged to carry out the earthworks component for the Scouts water and waste water infrastructure to allow Ridley's plumbing to install enough potable water and underground sewerage systems to support this major event which consists of approx. 11,000 kids and volunteers assembling at The Bend Motorsport Park for the 25th International Scouts Jamboree which runs for a period of 10 days. With major time constraints and the difficult rocky ground conditions, Spry and Ridley were able to pull of the unthinkable on time and budget in preparation for this international event.
Meningie Area School Redevelopment
Spry have been heavily involved in the redevelopment of the Meningie Area School which consists of demolition of old building and civil works to prepare for brand new buildings that are going to dramatically change the landscape and appeal of this school. This brown fields site has had many complex issues that Spry have had to work through with the client to get a favourable outcoming for all parties involved.
Marchand Street Subdivision
One of many sub-divisions Spry's have undertaken in the region, Marchand Street Sub-Division consists of 7 new allotments in which we are currently installing all services such as gas, water, sewer, stormwater, electrical and communications in preparation to finish the kerbing and asphalt works to enable us to hand the development over to the client. Close to the centre of the city in Murray Bridge, this development has been quite a straight forward process in which we are working closely with the client to exceed expectations.

IELTS Assessment Ends Up Being A Problem For Nurse Practitioners
IELTS evaluation band rating is a critical certifying criteria for transfer functionality. Nurse practitioners coming from other countries need to delight the very little IELTS ranking for getting here to Australia, UK, New Zealand as well as Canada https://britishlifeskills.com/book-exam/. A multitude of nurses moving to these nations are actually from India, Pakistan, Philippines and also China. Enhancing the marginal IELTS ranking band requirement in Academic section from 6.5 to 7 in each 4 places has really brought in way of life bad for great deals of experienced migration applicants coming from these Far eastern countries.
The nursing council has actually strengthened the IELTS band score to 7 to assure that nurse professionals along with definitely great English foreign language interaction functions in their health care facilities. Based upon the nursing authorizations, the almost all of nursing project is proper interaction with the personal as well as doctors. Thereby boosting the minimum required gadgets of IELTS will definitely improve the client treatment as well as collaboration along with other hospital team.
For registered nurses stemming from Eastern nations, they start discovering English originating from high school amount. They do not possess a setting besides their educational institutions and also universities to improve their British communication capabilities. After obtaining nursing certificates, all these leads engage an encompassing mentoring facility for a month for preparing IELTS analysis. Because the band of 6.5 fit credit scores rating for all hopefuls to credit rating, IELTS examination was actually an analysis which can be joined along with a 1-2 month training
Currently the band is really increased to 7, which also in each portions, has actually created even more fine-tuning of English foreign language skills coming from the student's side for slashing it. IELTS assessment ratings are actually created located upon dramatic improvement in complication. Currently the nursing students arising from Oriental nations require to devote 2-3 months of continuous IELTS mentoring. Currently, bunches of apprentices get the score after 2nd as well as third attempt. Students after passing out straight join a IELTS training location for a 3 month instruction course, rather than doing in a medical care facility, which they are really taught for. The increase in the IELTS credit report score band has really certainly not decreased the goals of the nurse practitioner specialists from Oriental countries looking for movement for a rigorous future.

It seems irresponsible to start writing about The Egg House without issuing a warning that every second spent reading about the egg-themed Instagram photoshoot pop-up is a second taken away from the planning and construction of one's own Instagram photoshoot pop-up—something that seems, at least for the moment, like a guaranteed monetary success. Maybe your pop-up is an icing pond full of giant lily-pad style cinnamon rolls and you bring your dog to it? Or maybe it's something like a peanut butter and jelly house. Or a garlic hotel? Whatever it is, I advise you to go, set up the neon lights and the big versions of small things, and charge people about $20 to take photos in front of it, and then come back to read about The Egg House. (If you do set up a popular pop-up you owe me 60% of the income; reading this is legally binding.)
The Egg House is a pop-up similar to the wildly successful Museum of Ice Cream. How does it compare? Not having visited the ice cream museum myself, I'll relay a conversation between two egg-sweater-wearing men who were standing in line behind me at an egg ball pit photo op. "This is actually not as good as the Museum of Ice Cream," one said. "At least that gave you some info about ice cream." There you have it.
It's true that The Egg House, which costs $18 to enter and will run until June 27, offered no information about eggs. It barely offers any information about Ellis, the Egg whose House it is. The story of The Egg House, found in promotional materials and mentioned only once at The Egg House by an employee stationed in front of Ellis's bedroom, is this: Ellis is an egg who moved to the Lower East Side. Ellis the egg has fallen asleep. While he is sleeping you're able to explore his home after indulging in some light "cracking" and entering, ha-ha. (That is not The Egg House's joke, that is my joke; if The Egg House would like to use it they may contact me—I am willing to sell.)
According to the press release, the house is the product of a team of recent art, interior design, and marketing grads from NYU, Parsons, SVA, and Pratt. The so-far anonymous founder, again according to the press release, "is also the founder of a social media account with huge followings and the owner of a millennial tea store opening soon in SoHo."
The house claims to be a "multi-sensory experience," featuring six interactive rooms. I would say there are 3.5 rooms and a few walls, and the main sense is "sight." The walls feature attempts at slogans people would want to take a photo in front of, like "Flipped." (complete with quotation marks and a period) and "Live your life sunny side-up, or over-easy, or scrambled." I believe sunny side-up would have sufficed here, but I am grateful for the options. "The Egg House," declares another. (That one I understand.)
There is some food available for purchase: egg-shaped chocolate lollipops for $6, a macaron decorated to look like an egg for $4. Coffee and eggnog are made available at some points, allegedly, however they were not offered during my visit. Luckily, the commercial space does not smell like eggs.
The proper rooms are a ball pit pool, a bedroom, and a garden. (I'm counting an oversized egg carton that you can sit in as a half room.) Though there were only a handful of people in line for the ball pit, it took me 22 minutes to reach the egg-colored ball water because the couples in front of me spent upwards of five minutes each trying to capture the perfect iPhone shot that made it seem like they were preserving memories of fun. Some disappeared their whole bodies into the ball water for a photo, even though many of the balls had other peoples' hair static-clinging to them.
Entering the bedroom was preceded, as I mentioned, by a short explanation of Ellis. Oh, sweet Ellis. He is an egg, you see, and he lives in the city. The guide pointed out that one might notice he is adjusting to city life well, as evidenced by the MetroCard on his table and pizza boxes beside his bed. It's true, they were there. There were also Sleep No More masks on the wall, which allowed you to take a photo of yourself in a Sleep No More mask by an egg on a bed.
In the garden downstairs, you were able to briefly swing on a giant eggshell swing (see above) for a photo after waiting in another line held up by everyone else's photoshoots. Elsewhere in the swing room, there was a bunch of white fabric you walked into, revealing a hole in a wall opening into a miniature egg room with an actual egg in it. There was a miniature bed and a miniature desk and, like I said, an egg. Very cute. This was an interesting twist, because you could not easily take a photo of yourself in front of the real egg—instead you just had to take a photo of it. An egg.
We are living in a very strange time. Lots of people are willing to pay money—money that could be spent on something like a cocktail (!)—to experience the life of a Sears catalog model. It's odd. The best theory I can come up with for the existence (eggistence) of The Egg House is that it is a prank to be revealed on the next season of Nathan for You. (And we will certainly all have "egg" on our faces then, won't we, ha-ha?) The best theory I can come up with for the sold-out crowd on the day I attended is ummm, ahhh. Oh yes: Instagram. I would say that it would maybe be a fun place for a baby, but I do not think a baby would enjoy the lines. I'm not sure who it would be a fun place for, but I guess for some the social media dopamine spike is worth $18.
The anonymous Egg House founder said she created the pop-up to function as a momentary escape from the city. But the crowded, commercial space full of temporary Instagram photoshoot backdrops felt more like a saturated version of what you'd most want to escape from: the feeling of constantly being marketed to, lines, a general sense of social media-related despair. At least, however, there wasn't that egg smell.

A Carpentersville man has been charged with attempted murder after authorities said he stabbed his employer, who remains in the hospital.
Juan J. Rivera, 35, of the 2100 block of Tepee Avenue in Carpentersville, is charged with attempted first-degree murder, armed violence and aggravated battery, according to a news release from the Kane County State's Attorney's Office.
Rivera, who worked for the alleged victim's roofing business, called the man Tuesday morning asking to get paid, Kane County prosecutors said. The two met at 9 a.m. outside Rivera's home. While the victim was seated in the driver's seat of his car, Rivera reached through the car window and stabbed him, according to the release.
The stabbing was unprovoked, prosecutors said. The victim was stabbed in his left chest and his right hand with a serrated knife with a blade longer than 3 inches, according to the release. The man required life-saving treatment and remained in the hospital as of Wednesday evening.
The Elgin, East Dundee, West Dundee, Barrington Hills, Sleepy Hollow and South Barrington police departments assisted Carpentersville police, the release stated.
Associate Judge Keith Johnson on Wednesday set Rivera's bond at $800,000. If he posts bail, he cannot have contact with the victim or witnesses in the case, consume any intoxicating substances and must surrender his guns and Firearm Owner's Identification card, according to the release.
Both attempted first-degree murder and armed violence are Class X felony charges, which could result in up to 30 years in prison.
Rivera's next court appearance is set for June 26 at the Kane County Judicial Center.

"Don't Waste Your Time Selecting the Wrong Contractor!"
What are the most expensive projects when basement finishing?
When a home is built in the Toronto area, the odds are pretty good that it will have a basement. The area has the right soil composition and like any major city, space is at a premium, so a basement generally comes with the territory. What separates one home from the next is to what degree that basement has been finished. Most homeowners like to make use of the space for more than just storage, so eventually they get around to basement finishing. Sometimes previous homeowners have performed partial basement finishings, which can be just the push that you need to complete the job. Depending on how much of the work has been done and what your goals are, you could find that your project ranges from a minor facelift to a massive renovation.
On the cheaper end of the spectrum, the homeowner might expect to perform projects like installing flooring, painting or adding new fixtures. From there you might consider adding walls to cover the foundation and possibly adding drywall to the ceiling to hide floor joists, wiring and duct work. As you get into larger projects, you might consider building additional rooms and installing plumbing and electrical components. These would be major projects and can also include rebuilding structural supports and lowering the floor. Below we will discuss these projects and the costs involved.
- Cosmetic upgrades – The homeowner can expect to spend somewhere between $1000-$5000 on small improvements in the form of carpet or other flooring. The light fixtures can be upgraded as well for a minimal basement renovation project.
- Foundation coverings – Putting up walls and floor coverings can get a little more expensive, but would generally fall in the range of $2000-$8000, depending on how much drywall is being hung and if new walls or openings need to be constructed. This will really depending on how much of the basement finishing project had been accomplished before you begin.
- Living quarters additions – Adding living quarters for guests or possible renters can be a major expense, but one that will pay for itself over time. The homeowner must first hire an inspector to ensure there is no moisture in the basement of any kind. Failure to do this could result in a leak not being caught and that dampness could cause hazardous mold to grow. Aside from leak protection, a thorough basement finishing project for living quarters could cost between $30,000-60,000, which seems like a tremendous expense, but will pay for itself over a few years of renting the space. Having a fully furnished rental apartment in your basement is also a huge benefit when trying to sell the home later.
- Structural changes – These would include lowering the floors and building walls for room additions. Basements tend to have low ceilings as the initial intention is to use the space for storage, so homeowners may want to add extra height by lowering the subfloor. This is a costly and time consuming process that can cost $10,000-$15,000 depending on the desired effect. The contractor will come in and dig out sections of the foundation, then pour a new concrete foundation and use it to stabilize the house as he moves onto the next section. The process can be long and expensive, but the end result can look excellent with a skilled contractor like The Reno Pros at the helm. Adding walls should also be done by a professional, as any structural changes require permits from the local city planning office.
Overall, you can expect to spend the most on your Toronto area basement finishing project if upgrading to a fully furnished rental apartment, but this change will immediately make the space an income generating asset and for that reason you cannot overlook that project as a possibility. Sometimes homeowners will elect to do portions of the remodel a little along, so as to keep the expense manageable and proceed when time and money permits.
Hear What Our Customer Are Saying About Us
"After requesting a quote for finishing a basement and working within the constraints of my budget, I went with RenoPros. The team arrived on time and ran every idea by me, as well as recommended what materials are best to be used in what area. The job was complete in a professional manner and I am very happy I chose The RenoPros"
"I was hesitant at first to rely on a third-party service to re-do two bedrooms in my house but the guys at RenoPros assured me they would work closely with me to fit my needs. I chose two different designs, and now both bedrooms actually feel good to be in. Great job"
"Our husband and I needed to renovate our basement at an affordable price. We found RenoPros and their staff and crafting was spot on, they let us customize everything to our liking and were very friendly and accommodating. Would do business with again, thanks!"
"We are so happy with our new kitchen and main floor renovation. The upgraded wife flooring was an excellent suggestion and the apron sink make the house feel brand new. The project manager was helpful, organized and I would definitely call them for any future renovation needs."

Why You Should Always End Flirty Messages With an Exclamation Point
"You're beautiful!" beats "you're beautiful" any day. In fact, a recent study found that messages ending with exclamation points see higher response rates.
Zoosk.com, a popular dating site, released stats from a recent survey that show just how important grammar is when messaging a potential date. The survey of Zoosk users, which received 9,441 respondents, found that when messaging a potential date for the first time, you're 10% more likely to get a response if you end your message with an exclamation point. Got it!! The acronym LOL also showed a high response rate (+25%). Guess excitedly laughing out loud is the way to go.
In general, the survey found that grammar and spelling are incredibly important to singles. 48% of singles said that bad grammar is a deal breaker and 72% of singles said they're turned off by spelling errors. Well then, spelling bee champions must be great with the ladies.
Go ahead and thank your junior high English teacher for your impeccable grammar, and then show off those skills. Don't forget the exclamation point at the end!
Sign up here for our daily Thrillist email, and get your fix of the best in food/drink/fun.
Kara King is a News Writer at Thrillist and will end every sentence with an exclamation point! Send news tips to email@example.com and follow her at @karatillie!

You ask me?
Honestly, I don't have the faintest of clue to that. Hey, I barely know how to use make-up remover and my cleanser can last me for (almost) forever. i can't even remember when was the last time I bought myself one.
Moisturiser? Scrub? Serum? What is that? I absolutely have no idea which one is which and for what.
That's why once in a while, I rely on experts for skin treatment. Just so happen, as I was searching around for some treatment for my skin I came across the upcoming CRES 9th Anniversary Sale. They are having awesome discounts for their treatments!
The best thing is that, they are having a blogging contest!

Key benefits - replenishes, rebalances and retains skin."I went to one of their treatments last year and it was aweeeesooome. I never felt my skin as refreshed! If you wanna check out what they can offer you, you can get an e-invitation to the anniversary open days through the application on the Facebook Page of Cres Wellness HERE All you have to is like their page :)
If you check their page, you will see some other promos and contests as well. So head HERE now!

Is the 4 day work week the future of work?
You just went out of the office and you receive a call from a friend inviting you to his party later that night but you apologize:
"I wish I could come but I am working tomorrow. Who throws a party on a Thursday night?"
"Oh haven't you heard the news? I am working a 4 day week at my new company."
You roll your eyes and say: "are you kidding me?"
Let me answer you here: No, he is not kidding. The 4 day work week is actually legit.
How it all started
Andrew Barnes, CEO of a a trust and estate planning firm called Perpetual Guardian, stumbled into a research revealing that the average British employee is productive for 2.5 hours only per day. That's when inspiration struck him to start the experiment.
He adds: "If I gave people a day off a week to do all the other stuff that got in the way–all the little problems that you might have outside of work–would you then get better productivity in the office in the four days when people worked?"
Before launching the experiment, he asked his employees to brainstorm ideas on how to boost their productivity and still hit the same KPI during a 4 week work, assuming Wednesday or Friday is a day off.
Barnes was aware that there are ways to increase efficiency if we focus on the little things one doesn't usually notice because they are just too insignificant.
Jarrod Harr, a professor of human resource management at Auckland University of Technology, surveyed employees before and after the experiment. He found out that the supervisors were able to hit the desired KPIs surprisingly.
Helen Delaney, a senior lecturer at the University of Auckland Business School, said employees' motivation and commitment to work increased because they were included in the planning of the experiment, and played a key role in designing how the four-day week would be managed so as not to negatively impact productivity.
Job stress declined from 45% to 38%. Employees' sense of engagement with their work went up, and their commitment to their employer rose from 68% to 88%. Workers' sense of work-life balance went from 54% to 78%.
After a successful experiment, Barnes is seriously thinking about changing to the new model permanently but they are faced with a legislative challenge. With the help of Lain Lees-Galloway, New Zealand's workplace relations minister, it looks like there is a way to bypass this issue.
"I'm really keen to work with any businesses that are looking at how they can be more flexible for their staff and how they can look to improve productivity whilst working alongside their staff and protecting terms and conditions," Less-Galloway said.
The dark side of the 4 day work week
It's worth mentioning that similar trials took place in other countries, although they didn't hit the same success rate. For instance when France mandated a 35-hour workweek in 2000, businesses expressed a sense of discontent. They also reported a raise in hiring costs and lack of competitiveness.
The 4 day work week has its own set of drawbacks:
- 4 day work week means an increase in day hours: While startups are easy to transit to such time-sheet because of the flexibility and the fast paced environment, big corporations may find it challenging since they track employee performance by the hour and not based on performed tasks.
- Working mothers may find difficulties with child care: increasing work hours doesn't necessarily mean that child care services will put up with that.
- Customer dissatisfaction: the state of Utah recently reverted back to a five-day workweek. It dropped down to four days for state government workers in 2008 and quickly saw a rise in productivity, employee satisfaction and morale in addition to savings on energy costs. However, customers grew frustrated that they didn't have access to services on Fridays, and in 2011, Utah went back to a five-day week eventually.
The 4 day work is not for everyone
Despite its benefits, the 4 day work is not the cup of tea of all people or organizations. But still you can implement your own version based on your own needs. That being said, taking an extra day off doesn't have to be the reason you try the experiment.
So answering the big question: Is the 4 day week worth it? Well, it depends on the entity. Increasing your team's productivity goes way beyond that.

The owner of B&Q has agreed to sell a controlling stake in its struggling China business for £140 million.
In Véronique Laury's first big move since she succeeded Sir Ian Cheshire as group chief executive of Kingfisher, Europe's largest DIY retailer has sold a 70 per cent stake to Wumei Holdings, a department store and supermarket chain.
Sir Ian had appointed advisers in March to identify a local partner to help repair a business which has struggled to adapt to local do-it-yourself habits.
Selling a 70 per cent stake is a bigger portion of the business than Sir Ian had preferred. He had favoured a "50-50 deal".

text: Wildcats News · Jul 5 What Kind of Teammate Are You Developing? – Travis D. July 5, 2019 What Kind of Teammate Are You Developing? In the fall of 2009, I walked into the basketball offices at Butler University to meet with Brad Stevens. I was a young coach looking to learn from someone I knew and admired, and Coach Stevens fit the bill. Today, as head coach of the Boston Celtics, he is widely regarded as one of the top basketball minds in the game and one of the best leaders in all of sports, but in 2009 he was preparing to start just his third season as a head coach. He was the same smart, talented coach back then; he just hadn't yet led Butler to back-to-back national championship games, been named the coach of an iconic NBA franchise, or become the popular coaching superstar he is today. Looking back, it was a memorable experience I'm fortunate to have had. He and I sat and talked basketball, coaching, and leadership for an hour or so in his office. Like Coach Stevens himself, his office was pretty humble compared to the ones you'd find on most college campuses. Around the room hung different pictures, posters, and personal photos that all helped illustrate what Coach Stevens thought, believed, and valued. As he sat as his desk, there was one sign in particular that caught my attention. It hung in the prominent spot directly behind him, and it was impossible to miss. The sign contained a quote from former New York Yankees first baseman Don Mattingly. It might seem strange to think that a college basketball coach would hang a quote from a baseball guy in the marquee spot in his office – especially a baseball guy many of his players might not even know. But Coach Stevens has proven that he doesn't do much by accident. I'd guess there's a specific reason he stationed Don Mattingly's words right there where everyone, especially his players, could see them. Today, I'll put those words right here for you to see, too: "Team sports are usually difficult things. Sometimes your team wins because of you, sometimes in spite of you, and sometimes it's like you are not even there. That's the reality of the team game. Then at one point in my career, something wonderful happened. I don't know why or how, but I came to understand what a 'team' meant. It meant that although I didn't get a hit or make a great defensive play, I could impact the team in an incredible and consistent way. I could impact the team by caring first and foremost about the team's success and not my own. I don't mean rooting for us like a typical fan; fans are fickle. I mean care, really care about the team…about 'us.' I became less selfish, less lazy, less sensitive to negative comments. When I gave up me I became more. I became a captain, a leader, a better person, and I came to understand that life is a team game. And you know what? I've found most people aren't team players. They don't realize that life is the only game in town. Someone should tell them. It has made all the difference in the world to me." -Don Mattingly Those words speak to an important understanding that Don Mattingly developed in his life as an athlete, an understanding about what it means to be a teammate. It's an understanding that all champion athletes develop. I think that's why Coach Stevens hung those words there behind his desk, where his players could see them, so they could develop it, too. I'm passing it along to you for the same reason today. If you're serious about helping your child become a champion, in sports and in life, then you need to develop this understanding about what it means to be a teammate, so you can help your child develop it, too. As a champion sports parent, you see clearly that despite the challenge that comes with team sports, developing your child's understanding of what it means to be a teammate is one of your most important responsibilities. As a champion sports parent, you see clearly that despite the challenge that comes with team sports, developing your child's understanding of what it means to be a teammate is one of your most important responsibilities. I want to encourage you to become relentlessly intentional about developing your child's ability to be a teammate. He cannot and will not reach his full potential without your help in this area. You've got to help him see what Don Mattingly came to see, that even if he doesn't get a hit or make a great defensive play, he can still impact the team in an incredible and consistent way. You've got to help him become less selfish, less lazy, and less sensitive to negative comments. You've got to help him understand that when he gives up himself, he actually becomes more. You've got to help him become a captain, a leader, and a better person. This is the mindset of a champion teammate. Remember, as a sports parent, what you choose to emphasize is what your child will learn to value. If developing your child's ability to be a teammate is important to you, then how he interacts with those around him must be a part of your perspective. If you see him doing what Don Mattingly did – impacting the team by caring first and foremost about the group's success instead of his own – then don't let it go unnoticed. Appreciate it! After all, what you appreciate appreciates. If you see that he hasn't met the standard you've set in this area, then hold him accountable for it. The daily process of teaching, training, and emphasizing what you value will help him learn, grow, and improve for himself. Most importantly of course, if we want our kids to be their best in this area of life, we've got to be our best, too. We can talk to our kids all day long about the importance of being a teammate, but how we model that responsibility in our own lives will speak more loudly than our words ever could. We've got to show our children what being a great teammate looks like. Both personally and professionally, in every area of our lives, we've got to put others first. We've got to become less selfish, less lazy, and less sensitive to negative comments. When we do that – when we give up ourselves for the betterment of our "team," wherever it is – we become more. We become captains, leaders, and better people. We become champions ourselves, and then we help our children become champions, too. When Brad Stevens hung that poster over his desk at Butler all those years ago, I know he didn't do it to make me better, but those words from Don Mattingly did exactly that. They made me better. Today I'm passing them along, hoping they'll do the same for you. I hope they'll inspire you to do the work – to hunt for ways to teach and model what it looks like to be a champion teammate for your child. As he develops that understanding, it will separate him from those he'll be competing with and against forever, in sports and in life. As Don Mattingly said, most people aren't team players. They don't realize that life is the only game in town. It's your job to make sure your child realizes it. If you do, it'll make all the difference in the world. -Travis

The 150 competitors arriving for the first Fish 'O' Mania qualifier of 2016 were greeted by scattered snow showers and a biting North Easterly wind at Tunnel Barn Farm in Shrewley, Warwickshire on Saturday 5th March.
For many, this resulted in a hard day's fishing. However, as temperatures rose and with the wind dropping a little, alongside some sunshine going into the last hour of the match, the venue's shoals of carp and F1s fed remarkably well.
It was Jamie Hughes, an Angling Coach from the Wirral, who was installed immediately as favourite when he drew end peg 2 on Canal pool. He didn't disappoint either, winning the event easily with 141lbs and being the first qualifier for Fish 'O' Mania 2016. Amazingly, his catch of 50 fish - carp and F1s up to 8lbs - were caught dobbing bread punch to a series of lines without feeding any bait at all for four hours of the match, and even then 40 maggots was the total bait used.
Canal pool was the place to be and further along the bank on pegs 6 and 8 Andrew Mann and Andrew Neal – Wales-based travelling partners and stable mates under the Milo Bait Tech banner – fought out a peg-to-peg battle. It was Andrew Mann who came out on top catching 83lbs 14oz of carp and F1s across and short, using the same dobbing bread and maggots short tactics as the winner down the edge with Andy Neal also fishing the same and finishing in third with 65lbs 8oz.
The second Fish 'O' Mania qualifier moves to Viaduct Fishery, Somerset on Wednesday 9th March 2016.

7 Military Life Tips for New Milspouses
Welcome to military life, milspouse! If you are brand new and basking in the glow of newlywed life, or just looking for a refresher, we're here to provide you the essential first steps of military spouse life.
It may feel overwhelming at first, but don't worry-you'll soon be a pro. So, let's get started, shall we? First things first:
1. Enroll in DEERS
Your spouse will need to help register you in the Defense Eligibility Reporting System, commonly referred to as DEERS. You must be enrolled in DEERS in order to be eligible for the military health insurance, TRICARE.
To register family members in DEERS, sponsors must complete an Application for Uniformed Services Identification Card and DEERS Enrollment (DD Form 1172), and provide documentation, such as a social security card and/or a marriage or birth certificate.
2. Updating Personal Information in DEERS
Family members can update personal information such as addresses and phone numbers once they are registered in DEERS. If the sponsor is not available, family members can update DEERS with a valid Power of Attorney. You may verify or update DEERS in one of the following ways:
Visit a local ID card office to add/remove family members. Call first to verify business hours or to set up an appointment. Or, set up an appointment online. For next steps, visit here!
3. For the Future! When to Update DEERS
You should update your record whenever you experience any of the following (this list is not all-inclusive):
- Change in sponsor's status
- Marriage or Divorce
- New Birth
- Moving to a new location for any reason
- Becoming eligible for Medicare
- Death of sponsor or family member.
If you are enrolled in a TRICARE Prime option or if you've purchased TRICARE Reserve Select, TRICARE Retired Reserve or TRICARE Young Adult, remember to also change your address with your regional contractor.
4. Obtain a Military ID
Military Installations require a military ID to enter the gates, shop at the commissary and exchange, retrieve insurance benefits and access a wide variety of services. Spouses, as well as children over the age of 10, will need THEIR OWN ID cards.
First, locate your installation ID office and schedule an appointment, either in person, online or over the phone. Requirements vary on what paperwork you might need to receive your ID card, but you should have your marriage license, birth certificate, photo identification, and Department of Defense Form 1172 (application form) to apply for an ID card.
5. Register Your Car
Next up, you'll want to have your service member take you to get your car registered on base/post. Some will require you to have a sticker placed on your car so that you can enter, while others do not.
Now is also the time to inquire about the installation's entrance policy. Some questions to have answered:
- Will you need to show your military ID while going through the gate?
- Will everyone in the car have to show one?
- And, if family and/or friends are coming to visit you, will they need a special pass to be allowed on base/post?
6. Power of Attorney
The Power of Attorney is one of the most essential tools for the military spouse. Basically, a power of attorney grants you the power to make decisions for your spouse if he or she is otherwise unavailable or deployed.
A POA can be incredibly specific or relatively general, so you and your spouse should get together and decide what works best for you.
But, you absolutely DO NOT want to get one week into a deployment when the electricity goes out, only to realize that the account is under your spouse's name and you are not authorized to make any changes.
Obtaining a POA will not take you very long, and it is an incredibly common procedure. Military Lawyers will help you prepare your Power of Attorney, and they are located on nearly every installation. You and your spouse should make an appointment with your legal office to set up an appointment.
7. Helpful Hints
Driving through those gates the first few times can be scary, but there is no need to worry!
There may be signs telling you if IDs are being checked, but as a general rule, having your ID ready is a good idea. Drive up, stop, roll down your window, and be courteous to the guard.
On installations where a sticker is required to enter, those stickers may indicate if the car belongs to an officer or enlisted service member or dependent. If the vehicle has an "officer" sticker on the windshield, the person guarding the gate may salute when they wave the car through. Civilians are not expected to salute back. A nod of the head as a sign of acknowledgement is appropriate, but not required.
On rare occasions, depending on the security situation at your particular installation, they will do random searches of vehicles. Don't take it personally: Any vehicle that enters a military installation is subject to these searches. Being polite often helps to speed the process along.

Arlen Specter, D-PA
Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, I have sought recognition to speak in opposition to the Ensign amendment. The authoritative statement on attorney's fees has come from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners in a 2008 document entitled ``Countrywide Summary of Medical Malpractice Insurance.'' These are authoritative figures on how much the defense lawyers have taken and how much the plaintiffs' lawyers have taken.
It shows that the plaintiffs' lawyers, on this state of the record, are underpaid--paid less than defense lawyers--hardly the cause for an amendment to lower attorney's fees even more for plaintiffs' lawyers.
These are the statistics by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners as to the attorney's fees. The attorney's fees for defendants were $2.110 billion. The total recovery by plaintiffs was $4.09 billion. Calculating attorney's fees at one-third would mean that the attorney's fees were, for the plaintiffs' attorneys, $1.340 billion, substantially under the $2.110 billion for defense attorneys.
Attorneys who take on cases on a contingent fee do so because, unlike insurance companies which have the funds to retain lawyers on an hourly basis, most plaintiffs are unable to pay attorney's fees, do not have the capital to do so. The arrangement is worked out that the fee will be paid by a share of the recovery. If there is no recovery, there is no fee. Beyond the absence of the fee, the plaintiffs characteristically cannot afford the costs of litigation. When depositions are taken or filings
are made or various other costs arise, it is up to the plaintiff's lawyer to pay those fees and those are not reimbursed.
An effort is being made now to have those deductions on an annual basis. The plaintiff's attorney cannot even take them in the year when they are paid. So if you see a situation where, in absolute dollars plaintiffs' lawyers on contingent fees are paid less than defense lawyers, and you have added to that the risk factor that the plaintiff's lawyers may get nothing, there should even be a greater compensation for plaintiffs' lawyers than defense lawyers. As these statistics show, it is less.
Most of my experience in the courtroom has been as a prosecuting attorney, but some experience--I worked for a big law firm, Barnes, Dechert, Price, Myers and Rhoads, representing the Pennsylvania railroads, defendants, representing insurance companies. In the firm practice in that kind of representation, there is frequently a senior lawyer, junior lawyer, associate, paralegal, and multiple tiers running up the costs.
Most plaintiffs' lawyers do not have large firms. Many are single practitioners. To postulate a situation where the fees be cut even further is just not reasonable or not realistic.
When the contention has been made--it was just made by the Republican leader, repeated earlier contentions--that there are Senators who voted in favor of the Kennedy bill on liability reform, it is not so as represented. First of all, Senator Kennedy's bill in 1995 was a much different bill. Second, it was a tabling motion. Those who voted against tabling were willing to consider the issue, not that they agreed with what was in the bill. Procedurally, when there is a motion to table, if it is
passed the bill is off the floor. If a motion to table is defeated, then the bill remains on the floor for consideration. But it does not mean that people who want to consider the bill are in agreement the bill ought to be enacted.
The issue of attorney's fees and the issue of malpractice litigation ought to be left to the States in our Federal system. Pennsylvania, my State, is illustrative of the way State governments can handle the issue and deal with it to avoid excesses. In Pennsylvania there was a rule change made to require that before a malpractice suit could be brought, there had to be a certification from a doctor that the case fell below applicable standards of care. A second major change was made which required
that the medical malpractice action be brought only in the county where the cause of action took place. That was a move aimed at eliminating so-called venue shopping, to go to a venue where there is likely to be a better result. [Page: S12526]
As a consequence of these two rule changes, the number of filings in Pennsylvania dropped dramatically. With the comparison of the years 2000 to 2002, it was noted that the rates dropped by more than 37 percent in 2003, continued to decline in every succeeding year, and in 2008 had dropped 41.4 percent.
The improvement in the picture was further illustrated by the fact that the reforms resulted in the reduction of premiums on malpractice insurance. These reductions are in sharp contrast to 2002, when one leading carrier increased its rates an average of 40 percent and a second leading carrier increased its rates by 45 percent. Then the rates have been decreased consistently and in ensuing years.
Other indications in the success of Pennsylvania was the renewed interest of companies that want to sell medical malpractice insurance in Pennsylvania--57 newly licensed entities are now writing medical malpractice coverage since April, 2002. This is illustrative of the way the States can deal with this issue. It ought to be left to the States.
Interestingly, the Senator from Nevada, who has proposed this amendment, has filed legislation this year, S. 45, and in S. 45 he has a different approach. He allocates for some recoveries up to 40 percent. Why there is a difference now, cutting it back to 33 percent, and then down to 25 percent, is unexplained. But when an amendment of this sort is offered on a bill for comprehensive health care reform, it is not germane to the issues before the Senate. The standard of being germane means whether
there is any provision in the bill now which relates to this matter.
Had this really been a serious effort to get legislation, the process or recourse to be followed would have been considerably different. The way to get legislation enacted is not merely to come before some bill and offer it without hearings before the committee of jurisdiction, without the consideration of witnesses. There have been no hearings on the amendment offered by the Senator from Nevada. Had there been hearings we would have been in a position to make a determination as to what are the
real facts.
Are the fees collected by plaintiffs' attorneys on a contingent basis excessive? What is the reality for the justification, in terms of the time it takes and the expenses involved? But no request was made, to my knowledge, for a hearing before the Judiciary Committee. I do know that no hearing was held. So we do not have a factual basis for making an evaluation of this amendment at this time.
It is my hope that we will move from this amendment and take up the issues which are in dispute. We need to eliminate and reject the false rumors which have been advanced. The contention has been made that there would be death panels as a result of this bill. That has been thoroughly debunked. There has been a context that there would be cuts in Medicare. We argued an amendment a few days ago on the contention that there would be very substantial cuts in Medicare. The AARP opposed that amendment
because it was fallacious. It was untrue. AARP is an outstanding guardian of the interests and rights of senior citizens, and AARP opposed that amendment.
The contention has been made that there will be a government takeover of medical care which has also been disputed and pretty well disproved. When the government option is offered, it is just that. I believe America would be well served by having a robust public option. But the option is nothing more or less than what it says. It is one alternative. Private insurers would still be in the picture.
There have been repeated contentions that there will be an increase in the deficit. President Obama is pledged not to sign a bill which will add to the deficit. I am pledged not to vote for a bill which will add to the deficit. When you take a look at what this bill will accomplish, there are very substantial savings in the current cost of medical care, which is $2.4 trillion. I will be specific in what they are. With annual examinations available and incentives for people to take annual examinations,
they will be catching what could turn out to be chronic ailments, very disabling, very expensive. Catching a problem with a cardiac issue, with a heart problem, or catching breast cancer at an early stage or catching Hodgkin's at an early stage--I speak with some experience about this issue--will cut down medical expenses tremendously. When there are advance directives, there will also be additional savings. This bill provides for counseling
for people who want to know about advance directives. No one should tell anyone else what they ought to do about end-of-life medical care, but it is fair to say consider it, make a decision, have a living will, do not leave it to the last minute when someone is rushed to the hospital and the burden then falls on family members. Estimates range as high as 27 percent of Medicare costs in the last few days, few weeks of a person's life.
There are also very substantial savings available for changes in lifestyle. Safeway has demonstrated lower insurance premiums for people who stop smoking, lower insurance premiums for people who have lower cholesterol. That is another major area of savings.
An additional area of savings would be to change the current approach of having fines imposed for Medicare.
I ask unanimous consent for 30 additional seconds.

Dutch Springs weekend report
Scuba Shack just wrapped up an awesome weekend of training and diving at Dutch Springs in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Some great mid-summer weather allowed us to complete a full agenda over three days (July 27, 28 & 29) that included Instructor Development, Divemaster training, Advanced Open Water and a Drive and Dive.
Dutch Springs was a happening place for scuba diving. We were prepared for the crowd by staking out our prime spot on Friday afternoon. Our location was right behind the Wounded Warrior project and the brave veterans experiencing the freedom of scuba diving.
Matt and Marla were put through their IDC paces by Course Director Monty, assisted by Steve and Ron, while Emily completed her Advanced Open Water course with Jeff assisted by Alex and Ray.
Ray also did several dives with Adam down for the Dive and Drive. Karta and Amrit also made the trip to Dutch for a couple of days of diving.
Visibility came in at about 10 to 15 feet with temperatures on the platforms in the mid to upper 60s while in the mid 50s at depth. The water will continue to get warmer as we move into September and visibility is expected to improve when the nights get a little cooler.
Our next trip to Dutch Springs will be August 17 – 19 when Matt and Marla go through their Instructor Exam and we will hold another Advance Open Water course coupled with another Drive and Dive.
Come join us!

Thomas Frank felt his Brentford side were in control despite conceding the lions share of possession in their 2-0 win over Leeds United.
Goals from Neal Maupay and Sergi Canos sealed a win over Marcelo Bielsa's promotion chasing Yorkshire men, and Frank believes his side were good for the three points.
Surviving an early penalty scare Frank admitted despite taking a huge scalp in Leeds, there were still areas for improvement from his side.
"Two things I want to do better," said Frank
"The first 15-20 mins and the start of the second half we gave the ball away too easily.
"We played the wrong passes and they won the first time passes.
"And second half we went to long too much, I think we gave the ball away too easily,
"But I'm happy, delighted, pleased with performance and the way we did it.
"It was very good and well deserved."
READ: Bielsa's refreshing take on Bamford's turned down penalty claim
(Brentford boss Thomas Frank celebrating with Bees fans at full time)
Possession Paramount?
Frank referenced the fact that his side had to sit deep for large periods of the game but in doing so, it showcased their ability to defend a lead.
"I'm pleased we knew the way we pressed high would create opportunities.
"We know us and Leeds are the team who have the most possession in the league.
"I'm pleased we can win a game without having the most possession, it means we had to defend well today.
"The only way they created chances is when we gave the ball away."
Front Three
On the front three of Canos, Maupay and Ollie Watkins the Bees boss admired the attacking threat they carried, specifically the goal scorers, and admitted they should've had more.
"We know they have quality.
"Sergio (Canos) to Neal (Maupay) was beautiful for the first goal, the second goal it wasn't easy, but we have talked about that, and it was another beautiful one.
"The big thing is after we could have had another, Sergi [Canos] had that great run, but if he had squared it two yards to Ollie Watkins we could have had another goal.
"I understand why it is tempting to try and put it in the goal."

The Milwaukee Urban League Open Letter to the Community on Recent Police Incidents
MILWAUKEE, MAY 25, 2018 - It is only through intentionality and togetherness that we can begin to change the narrative in our city, county, and state. I am saddened and frustrated by the divisive rhetoric and racial climate that seems to be getting worse as of late. Epidemic numbers of racial minorities are being unjustly scrutinized, brutalized and even killed at the hands of law enforcement in the U.S. In 2017 alone, police officers killed 1,129 people. That is more than the total number of U.S. soldiers killed in action around the globe. In addition, African Americans accounted for 27% of the people killed by law enforcement officers. African Americans made up 37%, of unarmed victims of police violence, which is almost three times their percentage of the U.S. population (13%).
In our own city, over the last couple of days, we have viewed disturbing video encounters between our Police Departments in Milwaukee and Wauwatosa involving the mishandling of African American males. One involved a 17 year old teenager and the other involved Milwaukee Bucks player, Sterling Brown. These are only the latest of incidents of police brutality against African Americans.
The police used unnecessary force in situations which has once again damaged trust between the police and the community. Unfortunately, these negative outcomes continue to be regular occurrences and are wreaking havoc in race relations and trust between African American families and those paid to protect us. I know our city is better than that, and it is imperative that this issue is addressed.
As an almost 100 year old organization, the Milwaukee Urban League is dedicated to empowering diverse populations and underserved communities through education, employment, health, housing, economic development, social justice, and civic engagement. Each day we work with individuals from millennials to baby boomers working professional jobs in business and the community or simply seeking jobs that provide a quality of life for themselves and their families. We work with students who are striving to learn and prepare themselves for postsecondary education or training and other career and job opportunities. Of course these groups include African American males who are doing the right thing, yet are living under the microscope being unnecessarily watchful and even paranoid with every move they make. How will we retain and attract needed diverse talent who contribute to this economy if they live in fear?
The Milwaukee Urban League stands with anyone in making this an environment of opportunity and prosperity, where all are treated fairly. I commit to participating in local forums and committees designed to address this matter and create win-win solutions.
Dr. Eve M. Hall
About Milwaukee Urban League
Established in 1919 as an affiliate of the National Urban League (NUL), our agency is one of numerous NUL affiliates established during the early 20th century, when millions of African Americans migrated northward from southern states in search of greater opportunities and a better way of life. To assist African Americans in their transition to urban life and employment, the Milwaukee Urban League originally taught basic skills such as social courtesies, proper dress and grooming, sanitation, health, and homemaking. To aid in the development of healthy lifestyles, it also sponsored a community center for holiday gatherings, youth recreation and crafts, boxing skills development, and by the 1920's, a medical clinic. Our mission today follows this same tradition. We offer numerous programs that are designed to help African Americans, and other people of color, achieve civil rights, and social and economic equality so they can become more self-reliant members of society.
YP volunteers are needed to lead 45-minute breakout sessions on such topics as: financial literacy, goal setting, social justice, etc. during the 2018 Milwaukee Urban League Youth Leadership Summit!
Volunteers are also needed to partake in a town hall panel discussion on Social Justice, Equity, and Civic Engagement. To volunteer, please email firstname.lastname@example.com!
We have a special ad-hoc committee that will need committee members.
Scholarship Committee:
This committee will help in reviewing our Dr. Wesley L. Scott Scholarship applications. Information on the scholarships will be sent to interested committee members within two weeks. We would need individuals available early May 2018 to review and determine winners. Duties will conclude at our May General Body Meeting and the Scholarship committee will cease.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com if interested.
The National Urban launched a podcast: For the Movement! Give it a listen on iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher.

Guest Reviews
Being a regular traveler was not sure what to expect. This place is really nice accommodating. I upgraded to a one bedroom trail and ocean view and was really surprised it was more ocean great views, comfortable rooms; the food there is really good. The staff is excellent. I would go back here in a heartbeat. Great place to decompress.Dallas, Texas
Having initially had two nights booked here by my agent and then looked it up changed my mind and did 4 nights. I wasn't disappointed. Ucluelet itself may be a little too quiet for some but plenty of things to do and some great places to eat. Our room overlooked the ocean, a fabulous view out to sea from the balcony.. The room was spacious with a kitchen area (though we didn't use this). The bathroom was enormous and fully functional. The bar was always busy with plenty of drinks to choose (including some good beers ) from and some really good snacks to order. In fact the snacks did us for an evening meal - never made it to the restaurant for dinner though we intended to. The breakfasts served in the restaurant were excellent as were the staff serving it. As the location is ocean side, there are plenty of walks to take direct from the hotel.Windsor, United Kingdom
I come here every year as part of a tour of the Island and will be here again next months. This is always one of the highlights of the trip. The food and service are excellent. The surrounding are lovely and the scenery magnificent. I love having breakfast whilst watching the waves crashing and the gulls swooping around. Just magical!Brighton, United Kingdom

"When To Call The Minister" is a piece that has circulated among UU's — and before that Universalists — since 1957. Originally written by Universalist minister Peter Lee Scott for the Elm City Universalist Church in New Haven, CT, people have copied and recopied it. Because it has value. Today, we might change it to when to email or Facebook or text me, but many of the concerns remain the same. Ministers serve congregations for a reason, and here are some of the reasons you might want to call the minister (that I stole totally from Peter Scott's original):
When you haven't met me yet, but would like to.
When you have problems to discuss—about anything.
When a sympathetic ear might help.
When you're going in the hospital or know someone else who is.
When someone close to you dies or is critically ill.
When you're planning to be married, or might need to be.
When you return from vacation.
When your daughter graduates from college.
When you have a child to be dedicated.
When you're pregnant but wish you weren't.
When you've been arrested, or ought to be.
When you want to learn more about Unitarian Universalism.
When you're scared.
When you'd like to make a bequest to the church.
When your son gets a big promotion.
When you're considering joining the congregation.
When you'd like to show us what a good cook you are!
When a friend of your wants to know more about our faith.
When you have suggestions about the programs for the church.
When you have suggestions for a sermon or about the worship services.
When you'd like to help with committee work or congregational activities.
When you want to discuss community issues or would like my involvement.
When you're mad at me.
When you'd like to talk religion with me.
Give me a call… or text or Facebook message… or drop by one of my Radina's hours, or even at the office on Tuesday or Thursday afternoon. I look forward to visiting with you.
In faith and freedom,

Luxury Design, Past & Present
Beautiful set of four teak dining chairs by Johannes Andersen, manufactured by Uldum Mobelfabrik in Denmark around 1950.
These stunning pieces have a high quality teak base with beautiful organic shaped backrests. Together with the grey fabric upholstered seats they would make a truly outstanding addition to any (Scandinavian) modern interior.
In great original condition with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.
Johannes Andersen (1903-1991) was born in Denmark. In 1922 he had served his apprenticeship and got his certificate as a skilled cabinet maker and he worked for several years in various workshops. Gradually over these years Johannes designed more and more pieces of furniture, and in the middle of the 1930s he started his own architectural workshop. Danish furniture began to be internationally reputed. Johannes also got appointments with Swedish and Norwegian furniture factories. But the great Boom was for him when the Danish working class during the late 1950s and up through the 1960s began to get better off and move into new houses and buy new furniture. Johannes' best known designs are coffee table in a almost innumerable variations. So when Johannes at the age of more than 80 closed down his drawing office he had become a worldwide known and appreciated furniture designer.

If you make no other desert for the holidays, this is it! I shared this with my neighbors and friends and everyone raved about it. What they had left over they ate for breakfast the next day! Two layers of moist pumpkin cake have a layer of spiced cheesecake in between them, with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting topping it all. Cinnamon, nutmeg and clove provide the season's flavors both in the pumpkin cake and the spiced cheesecake. A tip I found helpful was to make the cheesecake a day ahead of the pumpkin cake since it takes a lot longer to cool. Enjoy!
Pumpkin Cake Layers:
3/4 C. unsalted butter, room temperature
1-1/2 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 Tbsp. oil of choice (I used avocado oil)
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 large egg white, room temperature
2-1/2 C. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1-3/4 C. pumpkin puree
Spiced Cheesecake:
24-oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1 C. sugar
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 C. sour cream
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1-1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
4 large eggs, room temperature
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting:
16-oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1 C. butter, room temperature
8 C. powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
To make the cheesecake:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line the entire inside of a 9 inch cake pan with aluminum foil. Press it into the pan to get it as flat as you can. You'll use the aluminum foil to lift the cheesecake out of the pan when it's baked and cooled.
In a large mixer bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar and flour together until combined. Use low-speed to keep less air from getting into the batter, which can cause cracks. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add the sour cream, vanilla extract and spices and mix on low-speed until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the lined cake pan. Place the cake pan inside another larger pan. Fill the outside pan with enough warm water to go about halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door closed for 30 minutes. Do not open the door or you'll release the heat.
Crack oven door and leave the cheesecake in the oven for another 30 minutes. This cooling process helps the cheesecake to cool slowly to prevent cracks. Remove cheesecake from oven and chill until firm, 5-6 hours.
To make the cake layers:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of two 9 inch cake pans with parchment paper and grease the sides.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and oil and mix until combined. Add eggs and egg white in two batches, mixing until incorporated after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make sure everything is combined.
Add the dry ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and whisk to combine. Add half of the flour mixture to the batter and mix until combined. Add the pumpkin puree to the batter and mix until combined. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well combined. The batter will be thick.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 23-26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes our with a few crumbs. Remove cakes from the oven and allow to cool for 3-4 minutes, then remove from pans to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
To make the frosting and build the cake:
Combine the cream cheese and butter in a large mixer bowl and mix until smooth. Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and cinnamon and mix until smooth. Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
Use a large serrated knife to remove the domes from the top of the two pumpkin cakes. Place the first layer of cake on a cake plate. Spread about 1 cup of frosting evenly on top of the cake layer. Use the aluminum foil to lift the cheesecake out of the cake pan, remove the foil and place the cheesecake on top of the cake. Spread another cup of frosting evenly on top of the cheesecake, then add the second layer of cake on top. Frost the outside of the cake.
Refrigerate cake until ready to serve. Cake is best for 3-4 days when frosted and in an airtight container.

Yelich's agent demands trade per report
Outfielder wants out of Miami
MIAMI – Christian Yelich wants to be traded from the Miami Marlins.
Yelich's agent told ESPN's Jerry Crasnick that the relationship between the outfielder and the team has been "irretrievably broken."
Yelich, 26, is in the prime of his career.
He has seen the Marlins trade away his outfield partners Giancarlo Stanton (Yankees) and Marcell Ozuna (Cardinals).
The agent, Joe Longo, said that the Marlins have a plan, but "having him be a part of a 100-loss season is not really where (we) want to see him going."
Yelich joins J.T. Realmuto and Starlin Castro as saying that they are not pleased with the Marlins recent moves.
The team changed ownership after the season, being acquired by an ownership group that includes Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter.

Heretic TOC has been on the move this week, on a hectic festive tour of duty almost as demanding as Santa's, manoeuvring steadily southwards from the blog's bleak northern fastness to greet old friends, and make merry and in ye fine olde taverns and ale houses of London.
It's proving a tough slog for the blog, which is totally unfamiliar with life on the road or, rather, railroad. Wi-fi was very welcome on Chiltern Trains, but proved to be heavily policed. I was refused access to the IPCE site (see Blogroll), which I needed for reference purposes in connection with the work of James W Prescott (see previous blog post). An online message delivered the damning verdict that the site was "tasteless". Chiltern Trains passengers, it seems, are obliged not just to obey the law but also share the tastes of…well, those whose tastes match those of the directors of Chiltern Trains, perhaps, or more likely some dreary agency touting themselves as experts in taste and decency, such as the Internet Watch Foundation.
Heretic TOC immediately fired off an angry email to the administrators, of course, pointing out they had banned an important website for academic research. If it achieves anything, I'll let you know.
Another hassle of being away from home base was that I could not log in to Heretic TOC's WordPress website as I had left the password at home and couldn't think what to do. So much for any claim to brainpower I might have! Eventually I realised I could get a new password, though I could have found the old one from my LiveDrive cloud backup, except that I was also lacking the password for that. The upshot of all this woeful inefficiency is that my blog on the Sandy Hook school massacre appeared rather later than intended. Also, embarrassingly, I was unable to approve the posting of a suitably modest disclaimer when I was flatteringly mentioned in a comment post in the same breath as Shakespeare, Socrates and other such immortals.
In the face of this omnishambles, perhaps I should just wish everyone a Merry Christmas, or joyous pagan winter feast, or whatever!
And more here soon, I promise, provided that the immortals choose to smile upon Heretic TOC's humble endeavours. Cheers!

Daily Prompt: Childhood Revisited.
Before me were black and white tiles, stretching before me. I was on all fours on the kitchen floor, staring at the patterns. It seemed so fascinating to me, simplistically brilliant — black, white, black, white — that I had to follow it along with my eyes, in rows, diagonals and columns.
Brilliant. I moved my hand forward, eager to see more of it, look closer.
Another hand. A foot. Pause, smile.
I traced the grout with a little finger, not knowing what it was, but surprised at how rough it felt. I compared it to the tile. Smooth.
I smiled, bringing another foot forward.
In a few quick strides, my mom walked into the room, picking me up unexpectantly. I could see the counters and the sink from up high now, but I just wanted to be put back down. I wanted to explore the tiles some more.
It wasn't fair that my mother had to come along so quickly and suddenly to take me away from it. I watched the tiles fade behind me.
It took awhile to answer this one. I guess I felt uninspired when I decided to answer this prompt, and left it till later.
Hell of a while later. I guess I forgot completely about it.

NASA Tracks Wildfires From Above to aid Firefighters Below
29 July 2019
Every evening from late spring to early fall, two planes lift off from airports in the western United States and fly through the sunset, each headed for an active wildfire, and then another, and another. From 10,000 feet above ground, the pilots can spot the glow of a fire, and occasionally the smoke enters the cabin, burning the eyes and throat.
The pilots fly a straight line over the flames, then U-turn and fly back in an adjacent but overlapping path, like they're mowing a lawn. When fire activity is at its peak, it's not uncommon for the crew to map 30 fires in one night. The resulting aerial view of the country's most dangerous wildfires helps establish the edges of those fires and identify areas thick with flames, scattered fires and isolated hotspots.

A crowd of well over 200 turned out to see our screening of Race to Nowhere here last night at BHS to see the highly acclaimed film that begs Americans to take a look at the way we are educating our students. In addition to my excitement at the great turnout of parents from Wilmington and Burlington, I was extremely proud of the wonderful job our high school students did facilitating the question and answer period after the film.
My thoughts after watching the film are neither new nor original. It is clear that anyone who cares about kids sees clear connections between the children in their lives and the children in the film. So where do we go next?
The bottom line is that we need to sit down and have honest conversations about what is best for our students. While I am amazed that we have ignored clear research for years that directly opposes some of our traditional thoughts on school on things like homework, grades, school start time, etc., I am optimistic due to the fact that we now have the ability to keep the conversation moving forward to due to social media tools. We cannot wait until the next time we can be in the same physical location to continue the dialogue.
|There was a wonderful turnout by local parents.
What About Doing Away With Grades?
What Are Your Thoughts On Modifying our Schedule?
I encourage anyone that cares about the education of our children to check out some of the following resources to further our discussion locally.

Join Will Richardson's 10,000 Parent Challenge to take part in a grass roots national Back to School Night this fall.
Here are a couple of posts on Race to Nowhere written by Jonathan Martin and Lyn Hilt, fellow administrators and friends from Arizona and Pennsylvania respectively:

I look forward to the discussion and pray that it leads to action.
