Lakes Tournament Cockermouth, Cumbria 21-22 July 2017
Eight of the Scotland Over 70 squad for the 2017 European Cup were joined by keeper Dick Pearce and assisted by three underage players travelled to Cumbria on 21-22 July 2017. The Lakes Tournament included Scottish Thistles "Over 70", a Cumbria select and the full England Over 75 squad, plus two different England LX sides.
Scottish Thistles 1 (Gordon) England Over 75 Squad 2
Thistles took the field against England Over 75 on Friday 21 July at Cockermouth, Cumbria after travelling down from Scotland the same morning. England took the initiative from the start and Scottish Thistles reacted by sitting back and allowing the English to come at them. The main focus of the English attacks was, as usual, down their right where they made several openings, and it was inevitable that eventually Terry Howlett was able to run virtually unchallenged into the Scottish circle and hit the opener across keeper Dick Pearce. Scottish Thistles were well served by their forwards, Peter Gordon and Norrie Springford, who had made several good runs before England scored, but lacked backup from the Scottish midfield. However they dispensed with the need for backup by working the ball between them through the English defence for Norrie to cross to Peter who scored the equaliser.
It was clear that the Scottish five man midfield in a 'W' formation was not providing the support the forwards needed and captain Alan Auld took the opportunity during the first quarter break to turn the 'W' into an 'M', with Ian Downie playing in front of the back three, and Andy Ferrol and Dougie Turner playing either side of Ian in more advanced positions. This had the effect of stabilising the situation but the forwards still lacked support and Thistles were able to create few chances, having only a single short corner to show for their efforts. Meanwhile England were still creating opportunities, though Dick Pearce was equal to anything fired in at him.
Half time allowed Scottish Thistles to regroup and they started the second half playing some good hockey, working the ball up the field with short passes. Still, the final pass was not good enough and England repleed all the attacks. The goal which proved to be the winner came from an England short corner, the ball being switched about the circle before being lobbed high over the advancing Dick Pearce into the empty net. Alan Auld had to go off with a recurrence of his back injury and the Scots had to complete the match with only eleven players. They upped the pace against the now tiring English but could not find the net again, and England ran out 2-1 winners in what had been a closely contested match, played in a great spirit.
Scottish Thistles 1 (Springford) England LX Red 7
Instead of the expected Cumbria select opposition, Scottish Thistles Over 70 found themselves facing a strong England LX Red team composed mainly of Over 60 players in their second match, on Saturday 22 July. With captain Alan Auld sidelined with a back injury, Thistles were able to call on Paul Bateson who had come to Cumbria with England LX Red, giving them one substitute and a fresh pair of legs.
The English went on the attack from the outset and took the lead after ten minutes when an England LX forward hooked the ball from over his head past Dick Pearce in the Scottish goal, but the lead did not last long. A fine solo run by Norrie Springford took him into the English circle. The brightly coloured English keeper could only parry Norrie's shot back to him and he calmly slipped the rebound into the net to restore parity. The only other goal in the first half was an unfortunate one for the Scots, a shot from the edge of the circle rebounding off the post straight to an unmarked English forward on the penalty spot - he had the easiest of tasks to poke the ball into the empty net. The first half ended 2-1 in favour of England LX Red.
A quick goal by the English straight after half time made the task of the Thistles look a bit more daunting and worse was to follow as LX Red started to take a firm grip in the midfield as their opponents tired. Really the only question was how many and the answer was a total of seven goals without reply. Scottish Thistles at least managing one short corner as the only reward for their efforts.
In truth, the result should never have been in doubt as the game was a mismatch between sides who were two age groups apart. Scottish Thistles can be proud of the fact that they never gave up trying to play hockey even when the goals were raining in against them.
Alan Auld (Captain), Alex Cathro, Ian Downie, Andy Ferrol, Peter Gordon, David Margerison, Dick Pearce (GK) Robbie Robertson, John Smith, Norrie Springford, Dougie Turner, Sandy Weir. Alan Auld did not play on 22 July and Paul Bateson took his place in the squad.

Have you thought about what your
business would do if it were wiped
out by a fire or flood? What if someone broke into the office and stole all your
computers? What if your entire sales
department was hit with the flu all at the
same time? Would your business be able to
survive any of these disasters?
"Organizations that have thought through
these scenarios and have created contingency plans are better able to cope with
these events than businesses that are not
prepared for the worst," says Jim Parks,
chief operations officer and chief information officer for ViewPoint Bank of Plano,
Texas. "Insurance isn't enough as it doesn't
provide a method to deal with the disaster."
Smart Business spoke with Parks about
how business owners and managers can
create contingency plans that prepare their
organization for disasters.
What are the risks of not having a contingency plan in place?
It's expected that leaders in an organization would take charge in the event of a disaster. However, with no contingency plan,
they might make decisions in the heat of
the moment, which may not be in the best
interest of the company or provide for the
quickest recovery. Such quick decisions
could result in the loss of customers and
the company's reputation because it can't
deliver its products or services on time.
This loss of confidence could result in an
erosion of business over time that is hard
to recoup.
Don't many businesses already have contingency plans in case of a fire or theft?
Yes, but these plans are often simplistic
and only exist on paper. The question is:
Has the business owner and staff done a
walk-through or drill of these scenarios?
Have owners also thought of other events
that would be disastrous to their particular
business? This is the step that many companies neglect to do. If you spend an hour
around the table talking about the consequences of a fire, theft or loss of electricity
for a day, you will discover that your on-paper contingency plans may have many
How can a business go through an existing
contingency plan and make it stronger?
There needs to be an initial risk assessment where the business owner and other
key personnel brainstorm all the potential
disasters. You can break down the potential disasters into three major categories: 1. Those that affect only the business,
such as fire, theft, break-ins, loss of power,
loss of phone service, loss of Internet
service, the loss of a major supplier, etc.
2. Disasters that affect employees, such
as an outbreak of an illness
3. Disasters to a community, such as a
flood, hurricane, earthquake or a threat to
The next step is to figure out the probability of these events occurring. For example, here in Texas, we are not likely to
experience an earthquake. But the likelihood that we could get hit by a tornado is
very real. More attention needs to be dedicated to the events that are more likely to
occur and would have the most negative
impact on the business.
Once you have a list and the probabilities
what's next?
The most important part of this exercise
is to do a walk-through of the high-risk disasters for your particular company. This
should be done in a meeting with the business owner and other principals of the
company so as not to disrupt your day-today operations. For example, walk through
the scenario of what would happen if one
day your supplier could not provide you
with a critical raw component to make
your product.
The next step in this process is remediation. After walking through a scenario, you
need to make plans on what to do to lessen
the impact to your business. In the previous example, you'd probably want to have
more than one supplier for that critical
What scenario would be the most disruptive
to a company?
Anything that wipes out what your
employees are working on that day. The
most critical elements of what's happening
in a business are also the most exposed
they're generally found on top of an
employee's desk at the end of the day.
Things that happened three months ago
are usually filed safely away. What an
employee is working on at the moment is
what needs to be protected from theft,
from fire, from disappearing. What would
you do tomorrow if all your current papers,
files, contacts, phone numbers and calendars disappeared? Or a fire wiped out
everything on your sales staff's desks?
What's your backup plan? That answer is
the heart of a good contingency plan.

MalifauxFirst up on the roster was a great game with my daughter. She has been playing Malifaux off and off since earlier this year and has really been getting a good handle on her Colette crew. She has discovered through a series of games that she really likes Colette's swapping ability and looks to Cassandra and the Corypheee Duet to do her heavy lifting on the strategies and schemes. I found it interesting to hear her tell me on multiple occasions that the performers were pretty much useless and the mannequins were just there to take damage for Colette. I knew there were a couple combo's that she was missing so we decided to have me play Colette and she would grab and start to learn a different crew. Her choice was Lady Justice and I helped her put together a fairly well rounded 35ss crew to play. We had the Gaining Ground Shared Treasure Hunt as our strategy, and Bianca brought the following to the table:
- Justice, Miss Terious, 2 Stalkers, Santana, Guardian, 2 Guild Hounds, 8 stone pool
- Colette, 2 Performers & Mannequin, 2 Coryphee, Cassandra, 3 stone pool
So, when we got into the game I helped her understand how the Guardian's protect spell works and how to use it to boost Santana. I then showed her the trick of using the Mannequin to bash Colette to help Collette move without burning her own 1ap to do so. I also held several tomes (often mid or low tomes) to use with Colette's defense trigger and Bianca gained a much better understanding of how hard Colette is to pin down. The game was really close, and Bianca got to see two major turning points (against me and for her) when she was able to run Justice into both the Coryphee Duet and into Cassandra and cheat in a Red Joker on a damage flip, deleting both models from the game. She also had some eye opening moments when my performers were far from useless. Between the two performers I was able to shoot down a witchling stalker and Miss Terious with their pistols, Lure a dog out of position to make the other dog insignificant (so it could not pick up the treasure), and steal one of Justice's soulstones with expensive gift. Bianca came out of the game with a better appreciation for the performers, although she still sees the Mannequins as damage sponges. Surprisingly she did not enjoy playing Justice at all, and wants to go back to playing Colette more.
NetrunnerMy wife and I have been playing Netrunner, and she is enjoying it as much as I am. I have had a couple chances to head out to the store on my normal Tuesday night to get games against the wider community, but we are also enjoying just playing against each other. We have a single core set, 3 expansions (What Lies Ahead, Cyber Exodous, Humanities Shadow), and the Command and Control new expansion. This has been good and bad, as I am trying to keep 2 corp and 2 runner decks built at the same time without swapping cards between decks. We have it down but I think my runner deck is not as strong as it should be, while my corp deck could probably use some help as well.
Julie is playing Chaos Theory with what she calls her "Dinosaur Deck". This is a fun shaper deck to play and is tweaked to be pretty damn efficient. I am very happy to find her enjoying playing the corp and runner sides of the game equally, as it lets me also switch up between my corp and runner deck. On the runner side I am playing one of the Criminals (Gabe). Julie's deck is built heavily focused on getting her 3 Ice Breaker's out and then making repeated runs against R&D (the draw deck). My deck is based on generating a lot of money then making repeated runs on HQ (opponents hand). There are a couple cards that could be swapped between the decks to make them run a bit smoother, but overall they do fairly well.
On the Corporation side of the game we have a Jinteki deck and a HB Next Design deck built. Julie is exclusively playing the Jinteki deck which works pretty damn well. It's based around "flat lining" the runner by trying to simply do enough net damage to take them out of the game. The term "Jinteki Shell Game" has been tossed around at the store when others see the deck. My corp deck (Next Design) has been a lot of fun to play and was built primarily out of cards from the C&C set that just released. Next Design lets me install up to 3 pieces of ice from my hand before the game begins, then draw back up to a full hand to start the game. This can be a real benefit by giving me a 1 turn jump start to the game. I am also building it around getting out some really monster sized ICE that do a fair amount of brain damage to the runner and then Rezzing (activating) them for cheaper than thier normal cost. I am still tweaking the deck but it has been run to play overall.
Play TestingThat brings me to the last thing I have been doing lately. I am going to write in more general terms about this since it's still fairly hush-hush at the moment. I am involved in play testing a series new games for a game company that will remain nameless for now. I really enjoy play testing games and have been involved in doing so for a longer time than I had realized. I touched on some of why play testing and game development interested me in an earlier post but figured I would ramble a bit about it here in a more focused area.
I had my first experience play testing a game when I was in high school, something like 25 years ago (or so). I had been sneaking out to play D&D with a group of friends for years (throughout late elementary school and early highschool) and had met a new group of players through my group of friends. The new group invited me to try out a game they were in the final playtest of, a game called Shadowrun. I loved playing the game and the GM for the group sent all our feedback back to the writers and then we kept playing once the game was published. I have to admit that Shadowrun was one of my favorite RP settings and games to play, and I imagine part of that was being involved in the playtest for it with a good group. Overall the playtesting was not too intense as only the GM was really taking notes and providing feedback.
Years passed and I went on to graduate high school and join the US Army. During my time in the military I did a lot of gaming but no real testing overall. I did get involved in developing my own online MUD, fully customizing the available DIKU MUD software available through both the in game world and by teaching myself to code. I had a lot of fun running Towers MUD, and had a pretty solid set of players who logged in and enjoyed the world. This was a very different experience since instead of "play testing and providing feedback", when I saw something I wanted changed I would just change it, test it, and then fix what didn't work. There was as much to look at in the actual "how it works" on the code side as there was looking at balance of the components in the game.
As Towers MUD started to wind down a military friend of mine got invited to play test a new type of online game, an MMORPG. He was able to get me invited to the beta play testing for Asherons Call and it was a blast. The Beta Test was a fairly late beta and was focused on balance testing the classes and monsters in the game, along with doing everything possible to try and "power level" through the classes to see if they were unbalanced or leveled too quickly. This was a great deal of fun and I was able to bring some of my MUD development experience to providing feedback for the game. This testing was very different from the other two areas of playtest as most of the interactions were monitored by the server so there was very little requirement for written feedback. We both logged into forums and provided our thoughts but most of the feedback was tracked through the debug code the developers had access to.
Asherons Call beta testing led me to become involved in a series of MMORPG testing including Asherons Call 2, Eve Online, Anarchy Online, and Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. All of these were very similar while having distinct elements of the individual games that worked differently. The longer time went on with my involvement with new games, and the advancement of the underlying architectures meant that less and less interaction with the actual developers was required from the testers. This culminated in a point in time when I was testing W:AR and found that while there was a forum available, much of the testing was really refining the code throught he debug information as the game vision and overall direction was well in hand and the developers were looking for a massive "bug scrub" more than anything else. This is not a bad thing, but it really created a situation where the play testers were primarily getting advanced play experience with the game instead of helping guide the direction through testing feedback.
As more time went on I moved from computer gaming to table top gaming as my primary hobby. I became more involved in Mini-Wargaming and moved through a variety of games as has been somewhat documented on the Gamers Lounge podcast. After playing Malifaux for a while I was invited to become involved in play testing with Wyrd. I have talked about this a bit on the podcast, with an entire episode dedicated to the play testing experience for Twisting Fates and Storm of Shadows. I was involved in other play tests for Wyrd as well (for varying lengths of time) including Puppet Wars, PW Unstitched, Showdown, and Malifaux 2E.
So, why is all this rambling so new in my mind and why do I want to write about it? As mentioned above, I am involved in a new set of play testing for a set of games for a new gaming company. Getting to sit down and play some new games, especially as the games are in early development stages. I have found that game development for both the new group and for Wyrd are run in a very similar style, which I have come to understand if similar for other Board/Tabletop/Card games. Basically there is a mechanism (form/email list/etc) to provide feedback and interact with the game developers very directly. This is helpful in not only refining how the game is played but also helping to test and provide insight/input into the game mechanics along with the "balance" of the individual game components. I am really enjoying getting a glimpse at the development and growth of new games while still bringing some of my experience to bear in helping refine how those games come together.
I will share more when I am able to.

Conductor Technologies has introduced Conductor Companion, a desktop app designed to simplify the use of the cloud-based rendering service. Tailored for boutique studios and freelance artists, Companion streamlines the Conductor on-ramp and rendering experience, allowing users to easily manage and download files, write commands and handle custom submissions or plug-ins from their laptops or workstations. Along with this release, Conductor has added initial support for Blender creative software.
"Conductor was originally designed to meet the needs of larger VFX studios, focusing our efforts on maximizing efficiency and scalability when many artists simultaneously leverage the platform and optimizing how Conductor hooks into those pipelines," explains CEO Mac Moore. "As Conductor's user base has grown, we've been blown away by the number of freelance artists and small studios that have come to us for help, each of which has their own unique needs. Conductor Companion is a nod to that community, bringing all the functionality and massive render resource scale of Conductor into a user-friendly app, so that artists can focus on content creation versus pipeline management. And given that focus, it was a no-brainer to add Blender support, and we are eager to serve the passionate users of that product."
Moore reports that this app will be the foundation of Conductor's Intelligence Hub in the near future, "acting as a gateway to more advanced functionality like Shot Analytics and Intelligent Bid Assist. These features will leverage AI and Conductor's cloud knowledge to help owners and freelancers make more informed business decisions as it pertains to project-to-project rendering financials."
Conductor Companion is currently in public beta. You can download the app here.
In addition to Blender, applications currently supported by Conductor include Autodesk Maya and Arnold; Foundry's Nuke, Cara VR, Katana, Modo and Ocula; Chaos Group's V-Ray; Pixar's RenderMan; Isotropix's Clarisse; Golaem; Ephere's Ornatrix; Yeti; and Miarmy.

Now that the 2015-16 NCAA Football Bowl Season is underway we have another game this Saturday the 26th of December with the 2015 New Era Pinstripe Bowl with the 6-6 Indiana Hoosiers (Big Ten) playing the 7-5 Duke Blue Devils (ACC-Coastal) with at the Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York and scheduled for 3:35 PM ET and on ABC TV.
For those that Bet on College football the betting odds have the favorite in the game as the Indiana Hoosiers at -2 ½ and with the Over/under at 70 ½ and -135 on the Money Line, while the Duke Blue Devils are +2 ½ and +115 on the ML. These 2 teams normally are playing in college basketball tournaments, but for a change they meet each other on a football field, and in Yankee Stadium.
The fans of the 6-6 Indiana Hoosiers had a season that was like riding a roller coaster, but were able to get a bowl invitation for the 1st time since back in the 2007 season. They started the season strong winning their 1st 4 games, then lost 6 consecutive games against their Big Ten opponents, then ending the season with 2 consecutive victories and getting this bowl invitation. In those last 2 games the team scored a total of 101 points with their offense.
Yes, that explosive offense got them to this point as they scored more than 40 points in their last 3 games in the season, and they averaged 36 points per game for the entire 2015 season. Overall that offense scored some 49 touchdowns on the with 25 touchdowns with their running game and 24 touchdowns via the passing game for the season, thus they can score on their opponents in either manner, but their running game may be slowed in this game if star RB J. Howard's knee injury does not let him start in this game
At QB they have N. Sudfeld who has had a good season passing for their 24 touchdowns and 3,185 yards with only 5 intercepts for the season. He and the offense need to pick up their game as of late their defense has struggled, as they have allowed opponents some 37 points each game this season, and that is close to the points they have scored each game. More troubling for the defense is that they have allowed some 6.5 yards on each play for their opponents to date.
If for the Pinstripe Bowl you're a fan of the 7-5 Duke Blue Devils, your football coach Cut has taken his team to a bowl game now for his 4th straight season. Certainly he would like to have seen the team have a better finish for their 2015 season as they lost their ultimate 4 of their last 5 games, and now face the Hoosiers.
The offense for the Blue Devils is called a read option offense, and they run the ball as good as any team in the country, and their QB T. Sirk is their leading rusher with some 650 yards this season. For the RB's their top back is S. Powell who has rushed for 535 yards in 2015. This duo of RB-QB could easily make it difficult for the Hoosiers defense, but put points on the scoreboard is another issue, since QB Sirk running the ball and passing has only accounted for 21 touchdowns this season.
On the defensive side similar to Indiana, the Duke team does not have any bragging rights, since their secondary for the season had a mere 9 interceptions and rank 85th for efficiency on pass defense as they have given up some 30 points in 5 of their ultimate 6 games this season. For the Blue Devil's defense to overcome the Hoosiers strong offense could be a major problem. Thus, the best chance that Duke has to win this bowl game is through staunch ball control and has possession with their progressive running game.
The sportsbook prediction for this Pinstripe Bowl game is that the Indiana Hoosiers prove to be too much offensively for the Duke Blue Devils and win the game 33-28 and cover the spread.

Not everyone is a fan of orchestrated dinner conversations, but it being Christmas and all, and having been emboldened by a glass or two of Cabernet, I tentatively threw out a discussion question to the loved ones feasting at our table: "What are you hoping to work on in the New Year?" To my relief, no one balked at the predictability of my chosen topic but rather jumped right in and pondered aloud with thoughtfulness and honesty the potential challenges and opportunities facing each of them in 2016.
So engrossed was I in their eye opening and endearing personal revelations, when it came to my turn, I blanked. Gosh, what were my goals? All I could make out in my own scattered brain were a hundred different criss-crossed rabbit trails leading to half-baked personal and professional resolutions I had little confidence I could maintain with any constancy.
Eventually, I mumbled something vague about family time and photography but long after the meal was over and dishes were done, my lack of direction began to eat at me. It isn't a sense of control I am pining after; I've lived long enough to know contentment and micro-management do not go hand in hand. Life is terribly unpredictable – it's uncertainties can be daunting, even paralyzing at times. Procuring inner calm in the midst of the pervasive craziness coursing through society, our world, my little home, requires no small amount of resilience and flexibility.
No, what I long for is growth, spiritual and creative growth, and for that I do need a plan. You can't just blindly fall into growth, nor can you buy, borrow or steal it. Growth is earned the hard way through practice, work and repetition – thinking "small and consistent" is key. Growth is the one thing I can control.
Is denying myself and following after Christ more important to me than anything? To be candid with you, it depends on the day. I waste a lot of valuable time on vain and empty pursuits that leave me feeling aimless and unsatisfied, anxious and insecure, thus I am meditating yet again on the wisdom of Father Thomas Hopko, of blessed memory, and his 55 Maxims for Christian Living.
Here's what I'm proposing, to myself that is: Don't sweat the small stuff, i.e. the mess, the frequent stumbles, those extra five pounds gifted to me when I turned forty. Instead, gauge the quality of this life in terms of healing connections with others and in my oneness with Jesus Christ.
The 55 Maxims never ever fail to realign my priorities and turn my wandering attention back to the one and only thing needful. My modest 2016 goal is to reflect on each and every one of them here on my Grace Here and Now site – to do some old fashioned blogging as a way of tending to those spiritual and creative needs desperate for some TLC and nourishment.
This first post, "Be Always With Christ" is my invitation from myself to myself, and to you if you wish to join me, to regularly and mindfully water and care for my faith that it might not be snuffed out by busyness and earthly cares. We can fall and get up again, fall and get up again together. May God bless you and keep you in His perfect peace.

The Boston-based startups are teaming up to integrate Think Board's latest peel and stick whiteboard with Rocketbook's image capturing, cloud connected app.
BOSTON, September 10, 2018 -- Rocketbook, creator of the best-selling, reusable, cloud-connected notebook, and Think Board, maker of the peel and stick whiteboard, today launched their collaborative "Think Board X - Powered by Rocketbook" Kickstarter campaign. The two Boston-based companies worked together to create a peel and stick whiteboard built for the digital age to boost collaboration and make idea sharing easier than ever. The campaign, running from September 10 through September 30, 2018, hopes to raise $21,500.
Think Board X combines Think Board's flagship whiteboard film product with Rocketbook's patent-pending, image-capturing technology, enabling users to scan the whiteboard and upload the notes to the Rocketbook app. Through the app, users are able to instantly send the scan to any of their favorite cloud services, including Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote and more. The Rocketbook app's new optical character recognition (OCR) features work with the Think Board X, including Email Transcription, Smart Titles and Smart Search, optimizing user experience. Once the notes have been saved and sent to their destination, the whiteboard can be wiped clean to start over.
Jake Epstein, Co-Founder of Rocketbook, said: "After completing five immensely successful crowdfunding campaigns totaling over $6 million to provide our users with futuristic note-taking options, we decided partnering with Think Board was just what our users needed to spark creativity and increase collaboration. Whether in the classroom or a boardroom, Think Board X's seamless integration with the Rocketbook app will expand the functionality and flexibility that Rocketbook users already enjoy."
Hanson Grant, Founder and CEO of Think Board, said: "Think Board enables employees, teachers and students to design, take notes and brainstorm anywhere they stick their Think Board. We're thrilled to partner with Rocketbook to now encourage our users to store and share their discoveries within their preferred cloud-connected apps. This innovative integration is bringing flexibility, simplicity and organization together to inspire big thinkers to share their creations and blossom new ideas."
Rocketbook's most recent crowdfunding campaign raised over $380K in under 30 days and the company has successfully handled multiple campaigns in the past resulting in over $6 million raised total. Photos are available for download here. For more information on Rocketbook and to donate to the campaign, click here.
About Rocketbook

Tomorrow is my last day at a job I've held for over 12 years. It should feel more surreal than it does.
I've wanted to move on for a long time, not because I was unhappy, but because I wanted more than my job could give me. As a person who needs to be constantly challenged and exposed to new ideas, I should have left years ago. True to self, once I got it in my head that change needed to happen, an opportunity to move on presented itself quickly.
Now my head is flooded with wonderful notions of flexibility and freedom that a traditional 8 to 5 job could never afford me. No more daily commutes. No more forgetting to pack a lunch (or not having lunch because I couldn't cook the night before). No coworkers to annoy me. No losing my focus because the phone rings. Being able to stop and do some sun salutations if I need a reset or go for a run in the middle of the morning when the light is perfect. I'm particularly stoked about delving into sleep hacking and working from the beach or the UK if I so choose. I'm looking forward to writing more (OMG how I miss writing!).
I'm not naive, though. I know I'll be working longer hours. I know I have to have excellent self-discipline. I'll have to suck up to clients (thank goodness difficult people are my forte). I know I probably won't get to see my friends too terribly often during the first six to eight weeks while I settle in to whatever my optimal routine is. I know I still have to hustle so there's a job at the end of a job. I know work/life balance will be more of a work/life blend (but it already is for me). I know I'll have to be diligent about SAVING for TAXES and retirement and health insurance. I know enough to know I'll be caught with my pants down at some point (assuming I'm wearing any, because that won't be a requirement anymore).
That's right: people who might have a conference call with me sometime in the future. I totally will not be wearing pants while we talk, because I don't have to. And don't test me with the whole "pics or it didn't happen" because this girl freely posts bikini pics on Facebook. I. Have. No. Fear.
Or shame. Shame is probably important here for someone other than me.
The amazing thing about this process is that there is no end, no outcome, no mark of a journey successfully completed. The destination is the work, the process, that which is revealed to me as I experience it. This is new ground to me as a goal-oriented, results-focused person. I have no idea if I'll thrive or wilt in this environment, but I can't wait fly.

Seville: my favourite Spanish city14.1.19
After Madrid, I knew I'd want to chill for a bit before heading back to city life, so I headed to the capital of southern Spain's Andalusia.
I've been to quite a few cities in Spain and I think Seville has become my favourite. I was only there for two full days and though it annoyingly rained all on one of those days, the weather was pretty good for the rest of my time there (17 degrees in November is always great.)
View from the Metropol Parasol - a must do!
Lemon trees in the Real Alcazar - saw plenty of orange trees dotted along the streets 🍋🍊
Food is life - Paella is in my top 10 favourite foods #LOVEIT 🥘
Living in the concrete jungle that is London, architecture is always something I like to pay attention to on my travels; the patterns and the intricate designs make a nice change from the grey skyscrapers and Brutalist council blocks.
When your outfit almost matches the tiles, a photo must be taken
The infamous bubble man always drew a crowd (and not just children!)
Few tips:
- If you're in Seville on a Tuesday or Thursday, head to the Dream Hostel in the evening for some free flamenco 💃
- Seville is a small city and therefore pretty walkable, so public transport isn't needed much
- Head to Bar el Comercio for THE best churros ever. It's quite famous for being the best in the city, so it's quite busy but definitely worth the wait
Despite the lack of people who looked like me, it's a shame I was only in Seville for two full days and I can't wait to go back!
If you're still planning your 2019 travels, Seville would be a great addition.

Gulf Oil is celebrating the 50thanniversary of its first Le Mans win with the legendary Ford GT40 by joining with the manufacturer to produce the new Ford GT 68 Heritage edition for the 2019 and 2020 model years.
The Heritage Blue with Heritage Orange paint scheme honours the Gulf Oil-sponsored Ford GT40 chassis 1075 that won back-to-back 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968 and 1969.
Gulf has many oil industry firsts to its name, including being the first company in the world to open a drive-in fuel station, and this is the first time that a lubricant and fuel manufacturer has partnered with a global Vehicle Manufacturer to produce a road car production model.
"Many say the Gulf Oil paint scheme is the most famous in motorsports, propelled by the 1968 GT40 that quickly became a global sensation after Ford beat its European competitors not three, but four times in a row," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford executive vice president and president, global operations. "We set out to accentuate the new Ford GT's race-inspired aerodynamic lines with the Gulf colours, while staying true to the original GT40 Le Mans winner."
The Ford GT '68 Heritage Edition was officially launched at the Rolex Historic Reunion event at the Laguna Seca raceway in California on Friday by Ford's Joe Hinrichs and Gulf's Ravi Chawla. The car took its place in a specially designed garage, which depicted the 50-year span of success and which featured Gulf-Ford GT40 #1075, the actual 1968 and 1969 Le Mans-winning car.
"We are delighted to partner with Ford to help the Gulf-themed Heritage Edition Ford GT become reality. The Ford Marque has played a major role in creating Gulf's place in motoring and motorsporting legend and the same is true in reverse," enthused MD of Gulf Oil Lubricants India Ltd, Ravi Chawla, at the launch of the car. "Every Gulf outright victory at Le Mans has been Ford-powered and of course Gulf Ford GT40s took the latter two wins of Ford's four consecutive victories at Le Mans from 1966-1969. What could be more fitting than both brands coming together to produce this fantastic motor car – the modern spiritual successor to the amazing Gulf-Ford GT40s that took Le Mans and World Championship honours."
After its launch at Laguna Seca on Friday, the car then moved to the Exotics on Cannery Row (EOCR) street festival. This unique event brings an estimated 150,000 people out onto the streets of Monterey to watch the parade of supercars and the car starred as one of the central features of the Michelin display area that is the focal point of EOCR.
Sunday marked the annual running of the Pebble Beach Concours, widely recognised as the world's number one such event and here the Gulf-liveried car was one of the major attractions of Pebble Beach's renowned Concept Car Lawn, located on what is usually the practice putting green of the legendary golf course, in front of the famous Pebble Beach lodge.
The new car was incredibly well received wherever it appeared throughout the launch weekend.

[Shibari] Get-FireShockDevice hanging PowerShell (USB connection with controller is working but running into problems with bluetooth)
salman1567 last edited by
As the title suggests entering Get-FireShockDevice seems to be hanging PowerShell (tried running it as admin no difference)
I am following this guide that @nefarius wrote https://forums.vigem.org/topic/259/shibari-installation-instructions/2
I have a Bluetooth adapter for my computer I am not entirely sure if that is the reason why but I only have one Bluetooth dongle connected to my computer. There is a warning in the guide about having multiple dongles but I only have one as far as I am aware of so not sure if that may be a reason for it. I'm just trying to figure out why it is hanging at that Get-FireShockDevice.
I am also able to run
Import-Module .\Shibari.Dom.Management.PowerShell.dll
But running the below hangs the PowerShell and never completes which is the step I am stuck at.
Sceenshot of my Shibari Dom Server
Anyways my main concern is that the reason this is happening is that I haven't replaced the stock driver but from reading it I was under the assumption that I wouldn't need to do it since I only have one Bluetooth dongle and one device I want to connect to the Bluetooth.
^ I have installed Airbender.inf but I haven't done the latter part since I am not comfortable with that lol but I am wondering if I have to do that since like I mentioned before I am only using one dongle. Any possible suggestions are welcome on what to do next to try to resolve this

Ahoi, for pairing alone you don't need AirBender, try to restart Shibari and don't click into the console window while executing the commandlet.

Nutritional Holistic Healing

Holistic Nutrition
Healthy Weight Loss Program
Weight loss can be a very stressful time if you are unsure of how to go about losing the weight at a healthy rate.
At Nutritional Holistic healing I work with the individual to accomplish a safe and healthy way to start losing weight for the individual. Everyone is built different and has a different body structure
, so it is customized for the unique person you are.
I recommend implementing whole foods through educating the person on what foods contain how much carbohydrates, proteins, fats & calories. Our bodies require healthy foods, such as good fats, which is extremely important for the individual that wants to loss weight. As well as lots of vegetables and high quality clean proteins, low carbohydrates and no sugars. I will structure a customized menu plan for the individual and their lifestyle, along with an exercise program. I believe that once you loss the weight through changing your lifestyle habits, there is no reason you should put the weight back on, unless you don't follow the changes throughout your life. This is a lifestyle change through healthy eating habits will promote weight loss and weight maintenance.
Not only will you loss weight, but you will have more energy and be overall a healthier and happier individual.

Rob Scallon's Heavy New Song Tunes Down To Drop B, Features Jeff Loomis, THE HAUNTED's Ola Englund, And More!
Subscribe to Metal Injection on
Rob Scallon's new song features a 9 strong guitar tuned down to Drop B and guest solos from Arch Enemy's Jeff Loomis, The Haunted's Ola Englund, Aliases' Leah Woodward, and YouTuber Garrett Peters. So basically five extremely capable guitarists shredding the ever-loving hell out of a crazy heavy song that would be plenty interesting even without all the insane guitar acrobatics.
What more could you want?! Also, just throwing this out there – Leah Woodward is a criminally underrated player.

[R&D] Using the Insta360 Pro for Google Street View7302
71422 6 6
Bellevue, Washington
|Tosolini private msg quote post Address this user
|Following the very informative Google Street View (GSV) Summit, I got excited to try my Insta360 Pro and start capturing street footage.
I ordered the GPS module, the CAMTREE G-51 Professional Gripper Campod Car Mount Stabilizer, and mounted the camera on top of my car. Then I set the Insta360 with the recommended GSV settings to capture 5 FPS 8K video, and off I went.
Once I returned, I stitched the footage into 8K videos and uploaded them to GSV. Within 24h, my contribution was online.
Some notes from this experiment:
- The car mount seems robust enough and it worked quite well
- The camera should be positioned even higher than what I did
- The nadir needs some work to make it a bit cleaner
- The resolution doesn't come close to what the real Google Maps car offers
- I decided to no blur faces
That said, I was pleased with this test. Here is some footage ...
Special thanks to Chris Petracco and Federico Debetto for their technical guidance.

|I find the Insta360Pro is an excellent camera which I use for behind-the-scenes shoots and 180 and 360 standup's. I've shot on location with another crew using an Ozo and the footage is very hard to tell the difference. To be honest I preferred the Insta360Pro footage and the processing of the footage is a no brainier compared to the process for the Ozo. I have to omit I haven't tried shooting stills but it looks very acceptable to me for GSV. Especially compared to when I use to shoot for GSV and has to use my DSLR with a 8mm lens and a pano head. So the camera is truly an all around workhouse. The Insta360Pro is also being used by the BBC and National Geographic to shoot their 360 footage. Insta360 has done a great job in producing a production camera at a price point that most pro's can afford.

With your Trekkers, you did not need to worry about your nadir as Google's processing eliminates anything in the nadir and replaces it with textures that seem quite natural and don't stick out.
For those of us like Paolo and I, my first thoughts on setting up our own 'car' are: #1) Nadir and #2) Height.
In the case of using the Insta360 Pro or the NCTech iStar Pulsar, I don't believe that we have the luxury of automatic Nadir correction; therefore reducing the nadir is important -- however, being too high in order to do this would potentially create an odd user experience.
What are your thoughts?

|@metroplex, here is a link to our GSV footage (I drove around Microsoft main campus in Redmond, WA).
And here is the nadir.
@garysnyder I think it'd be interesting to compare the GSV outcome from the 8K 5FPS video vs. assembling a bunch of high quality photos.

|@Tosolini I agree as it would be interesting to see how GSV processes the footage. If that was the case it would be far easier to create content for GSV.

May 30, 2008
We are hopeful that Nekko's episode with insulin shock was an isolated event. Since Tuesday we have closely monitored her eating and insulin, and haven't seen any evidence of another bottoming out like Sibylle caught that day.
For her part, Nekko, seems to be normal again. She still displays some aggressiveness around our food, needing to be shooed away from an unattended plate, but nothing that causes any concern. If anything she is more approachable in the aftermath of Tuesday's episode.
In a little less than two weeks we'll have another day long glucose curve performed, and hopefully learn more about the current state of her diabetes. Until then, we'll be watchful and cautiously optimistic.

Sponsored trip by Parma Alimentare
You've heard about Parma ham (Prosciutto di Parma) and Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano), but have you ever been to the city of Parma in Italy? The city is famous, in particular, for its export of these two consumer goods, and there are plenty of other reasons to visit the medieval Italian town in the region of Emilia-Romagna. Last year, I was on a three-days press trip with Parma Alimentare, and these are the four main reasons I would go back.
How to get there: Flights to Milano, or directly to Parma, depending on your airport of departure
Where to stay: Grand Hotel de La Ville (ad: affiliate link)
None food-related attractions: A performance in the Baroque-style Teatro Farnese
1. Experience the Production of Prosciutto di Parma
Probably the most famous ham in the world and certainly the most prized in Italy, prosciutto di Parma means simply ham from Parma. The process of making it is far from simple, though. Hind legs of pork are cleaned, salted, and left to cure for two months. At the San Pietro factory, which we visited, a team of workers then proceeds to remove the salt and hang the meat in a dark, well-ventilated room until each individual leg (depending on its size) is dry.
A small elevator transported us to the secret second floor of the factory. A team of two women spends their entire workday covering the exposed meat area of each leg with pig fat and preparing the ham for its final resting place. Another guy had only one task: inserting a wooden needle into each ham to check the aroma. When his excellent nose tells him that the prosciutto is ready, he calls upon the even more superior sense of smell of an inspector from the Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma (an organization established to secure the quality of the Parma production). When approved, each ham gets fire-branded with the official Parma crown seal of approval.
The result, after 12 or up to 30 months of aging, is a ham with a nutty flavor (due to the specially bred pigs being fed with whey derived from the production of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese), a sweet smell and a light pinkish red hue. Both the taste, aroma, and color is all natural, as the DOP (Denominazione d'Origine Protetta) allows for no additives. As such, prosciutto di Parma consists only of 100% natural ingredients – pork meat, sea salt, air, and time. Get in touch with the local tourist office to arrange a visit.
2. Eat the Most Perfect Gelato Fior di Latte
There are many reasons to eat lunch or dinner at restaurant Parma Rotta, located a good 10 minutes drive outside of Parma city center. Head chef Antonio di Vita and his team make excellent primi piatti with pasta in all shapes: ravioli, strozzapreti (aka strangled priests) and pappardelle to name a few. They also grill meat and vegetables over wooden embers – a simple and delicious secondi piatti. However, the true star of the show at Parma Rotta is the dolce – in particular the very special gelato fior di latte.
"We receive unpasteurized milk from the highest quality Parmigiano Reggiano cows." – Chef Antonio di Vita
Chef Antonio told me his secret to making the perfect gelato fior di latte – that's gelato with no added flavor, tasting only of the milk from which it has been made. "We receive unpasteurized milk from the highest quality Parmigiano Reggiano cows. The milk is only pasteurized once, in the restaurant, after adding sugar and heating the milk to make the gelato." Another trick, he revealed, is to prepare the ice cream at a lower temperature, and store it at a higher temperature than you normally would, to preserve more of the flavor of the milk. Can you believe that in Norway it's even illegal to sell unpasteurized milk!?
3. Visit a Winery and Walk in the Vineyard
Giovanni Lamoretti greeted us as we rolled into the driveway of the Lamoretti winery. He was eager to take us on a tour through the vineyard. His father and mentor, Isidoro Lamoretti, smiled at us from the terrace. The old man, with only one leg left, was the original driving force behind the vinification choice of letting nature run its course as much as possible. "We do more than an organic winery. We use less sulfites than the law suggests, and no toxins in the vineyard," Lamoretti, the son, explained to us. The idea is to allow the finished product, the wine, to taste as much of the initial fruit, the grapes, as possible.
"We do more than an organic winery. We use less sulfits than the law suggests, and no toxins in the vineyard." – Giovanni Lamoretti
The Lamoretti winery is situated at the heart of the Colli di Parma (Parma Hills), with a stunning view towards the castle of Torrechiara across the vineyard. "We grow eight different grapes here," Giovanni told us. The grapes had already been harvested at the time of our visit, but we were lucky to find a few clusters of Lambrusco and Malvasia that had been overlooked. I tasted the Lambrusco grape first and was surprised by the delicate, sweet flavor. However, the Malvasia grapes blew me away. Intense sweetness and acidity! Later on, we drank the end result – two lightly sparkling wines, available at the Norwegian wine monopoly, by the way, both the Lambrusco and the Malvasia. Lamoretti winery offers cellar tours and wine tastings if you contact them in advance.
4. Learn How They Make the Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
Grandpa Giorgi is a Master Cheese Maker with a whopping career of 60 years in the cheese making industry. We had to come early in the morning, around 7.30 AM, in order not to miss the daily routines. Only ten cheeses are made every day, each consisting of 550 liters of milk, so the production is very exclusive. From start to finish the process will take a minimum of 12 months, an average of 24 months, and up to 36 months for the King of Cheese to be ready.
Younger Parmesan cheese (12 months old wheels are marked Parmigiano Reggiano Mezzano) has a milder flavor and is less grainy than those aged longer. When a wheel is at least 24 months it is called Parmigiano Reggiano, and at this point, you can be sure that all lactose has been broken down into lactic acid – making the cheese virtually lactose-free and more easily digestible. The closer the cheese gets to three years of age, the more of the crunchy protein crystals it will have. Just like Champagne or Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano is an area protected name (P.D.O. – Protected Designation of Origin). Within the EU, you cannot refer to any other cheese as Parmesan, unless it has been produced in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, and Bologna to the west side of the river Reno, or Mantua to the south of the river Po.
The process of making Parmesan cheese is even more complicated than that of the Prosciutto di Parma. Hence, I won't go into much detail, but some elements are more important than others. Parmesan cows can only eat natural grass or hay from the landscape of the region, in order to give the correct flavor and aroma to the cheese. Farmers milk the cows both morning and evening, and the dairymen use a mix of these two kinds of milk to produce the cheese. After 20 days in a special salt brine, the cheese is left to age for a minimum of 12 months. Then, the Consorzio Parmigiano-Reggiano inspects every wheel, tapping them with small hammers to identify faults. If approved, the cheese, just like the ham, gets a fire-branded logo on the rind. Get in touch with the local tourist office to arrange a visit, or book through this website.

Website design plays a crucial role for visitor
A great many problems in designing a website can arise, starting from improperly designed admin panel to complex navigation on the portal. Every entrepreneur or webmaster should understand that online resource is created first of all for humans and not for search engines or machines.
First of all, visitors gain the first impression about the site in general within the first few seconds. If the team used to create site design based on their transcendental considerations, they have to wait for the appropriate result. After creating the layout, it should be shared at least with some of company's employees for the objective evaluation of various elements. Do not blindly assume that site promotion or special markings will put everything in its place.
After creating a full layout and developing the technical side of the portal, all steps of navigation should also be practically tested. Any mistake can seriously complicate the movement of the visitor to the site. So when a full-fledged website is to be developed, you need to create some kind of a group who will be ready to test navigation, evaluate each design element and help you choose the best option. No matter how different comments are received, in case of their abundance you'd better seriously consider changing the design, whereas in case of few remarks on one or another detail you may simply ignore them. This approach will positively impact not only on the ratio of visitors to the site, but also will be beneficial in terms of attendance and sales of goods and services.

While I have a great appreciation for trends and new fashion, there's something special and nostalgic about heirlooms and traditions, especially when it comes to weddings. This shoot was all about combining the contrasting elements of modern and traditional for refreshing twist.
With the main focus of mixing modern and traditional elements in mind, we knew we needed a classic venue. Water Works, a Philadelphia landmark could not have been more fitting. The neoclassical design and modern updates were the perfect back drop.
We rounded up a stellar group of vendors including and made a magical shoot!

We knew we wanted a classic wedding dress that really had the "wow" factor, and boy did we find it! This Anna Maier dress made of Duchess Satin with a detachable billowy train from Van Cleve was the perfect fit. It's simple, elegant and truly stunning.
The jewelry was imperative for bringing the look together and L. Priori Jewelry had everything we needed. On her ring finger, the bride wore a classic solitaire "heirloom" diamond with two modern contoured V shaped wedding bands. On her right hand, she wore family jewels that would have been passed down from generation to generation. Her large pearl earrings finished the refreshing look.
We opted for a birdcage veil as it felt clean and vintage.The bride's hair was sleek and smooth. Her side part and low bun is truly a timeless look. Coupled with fresh natural makeup and a coral lip by ONLO.
To contrast the traditional "all white" wedding look, we finished the look with a floral printed shoe from BHLDN.
Originally, we envisioned contrasting printed bridesmaids dresses that were really bright, bold and fashionable. But when we saw these beauties at Van Cleve, we had to have them! The light blue color is bridal in a vibrant, updated way. And the silhouettes are just SO cool and unlike anything you see for a bridesmaid. A pantsuit, geometric texture and billowy sleeves are the recipe for a seriously stunning bridal party.
The bridesmaids hair and makeup was also sleek and smooth but also very modern by ONLO.
For this classic wedding, we knew we wanted a traditional tux for our groom, and Common Wealth Proper is the place to go for modern suiting.
Water Works operated by (Cescaphe Event Group) is a National Historic Landmark and one of Philadelphia's most iconic destinations. With views of Boat House Row and the Center City skyline from its waterfront location at the foot of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the venue speak for itself. Wedding planner, Laurel & Elm and florist, Cottage Flowers added bright pops of color and details to highlight the venues natural beauty.

Basic Decorating Bag Usage Instructions
By Bob Sherman
This article shows the basics of using a cake decorating bag and royal icing. These techniques may be used to embellish chocolate, candy, or baked goods. While there are many advanced techniques that are harder to do these are very simple and can be learned with a minimum of practice.
Most of the items you may need can be ordered directly from this page for your convenience.
PLEASE NOTE!! - Although chocolate making is relatively safe for the entire family to participate, adult supervision is required.
Royal Icing
Royal icing is very easy to work with, but these instructions should work with other types of icing as well. Important things to remember:
- Avoid working with royal icing on humid days.
- Fats will break down royal icing. For this reason it is best to use a disposable decorating bag to prevent contamination.
Icing Supplies And Materials
The following icing supplies and other materials were used to make this project. Clicking on the item name will bring you to that item's page with a full description and ordering information.
- Decorating Bag with tubes - A Disposable Decorating Set was used here, but any style will work.
- Coupler - Optional.
- Royal Icing - Your choice of colors.
- Food Coloring - Gel or Powder.
- Bowl - One.
- Whisk or electric blender - Use of an electric blender is recommended.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1
Although plastic decorating tips may be used in a disposable bag without a coupler, this makes it impossible to change tips without emptying the bag or starting another bag.
Step 2
To insert a coupler, snip the end of the bag large enough to force the coupler through as shown. Remove the nut from the coupler first.
Step 3
Insert a tip into the coupler nut and attach to the coupler. if you wish to change tips, simply unscrew the coupler nut insert a different tip and reattach to the coupler.
Step 4
Fold the top of the bag outwards to create a 1 to 2 inch cuff. This will make it easier to fill.
Step 5
Measure out the desired amount of icing - 1 cup was used here. Add 2 Tablespoons of water per cup.
Step 6
Although a whisk may be used to mix the icing, it takes a long time and a lot of work. A hand held electric blender works much better and will take far less time.
Step 7
Coloring - If a color is needed, powder or gel food coloring both work well. Liquid food color is generally not recommended as it may alter the consistency of the icing.
Step 8
Mix the icing until it thickens and will hold its shape. Test this by pulling some into a point - if it stays intact then it is ready, if not mix some more. You will be unsuccessful if the icing is not thick enough.
Step 9
Put the icing in the bag - no more than 3/4 full. Unfold the cuff made in step 4.
Step 10
Twist the bag shut. You are now ready to start.
