Nasco to make Plantworx debut
29 May 2019
Nasco Load Indicators is heading for the Plantworx exhibition for the first time and will be showing the iDig2D system for excavators, for which it is the United Kingdom distributor.
The new system will be fitted to a Sany SY26U demonstration machine.
Nasco said the units take under two hours to install and calibrate first time around and are also quickly transferrable between machines by unplugging from a 12v power source and feature a 100 machine and bucket memory.
They are also wireless, featuring sensors that are solar powered.
Most recently iDig has added dozer blade guidance, described as ideal for grading off larger areas with the blade.
The wireless solar powered sensors are fitted to the boom, dipper and tipping link and on this example on the tiltrotator itself thanks to a bespoke bracket which allows the sensors to be set at 45o angles to each other.
The company says the sensors will last up to 100 hours without a charge, but during hours of daylight they are charging all the time anyway.
Plantworx, which is co-located with Railworx, takes place in Peterborough in the east of England from June 11 to 13, and there is a preview of the event in the May-June 2019 issue of Demolition & Recycling International.

Summit Sunrise earns top honors in the Double Red Ale category.
Denver, Colo. (May 17, 2016) – The 2016 World Beer Cup Competition recently honored Denver Beer Co.'s winter seasonal Summit Sunrise as a gold medal winner in the Double Red Ale category. Presented by the Brewers Association, the World Beer Cup Competition has been held bi-annually since 1996 to celebrate the art and science of brewing. Denver Beer Co.'s Summit Sunrise claimed a gold medal in Double Red Ale category, topping a field of 51 entries.
Summit Sunrise is characterized by a balance of malt and hops making this Red Rye IPA a quintessential example of a Double Red Ale. Crimson in color, Summit Sunrise boasts pine and citrus hop aroma, spicy rye tones, and a rich, malty backbone and is 6.3% ABV.
"Summit Sunrise is a beer that is both malt forward and hop forward. It is bold with big flavor, hoppy with a strong caramel notes to complement the juicy fruit flavor of the Mosaic hops," said Jason Buehler, Head Brewer for Denver Beer Co.
The World Beer Cup is a global competition which continues to create greater consumer awareness about different beer styles and flavor profiles while promoting international brewing excellence. The World Beer Cup, often referred to as "The Olympics of Beer Competitions," is the most prestigious beer competition in the world. The 2016 World Beer Cup featured 6,596 beer entries from 1,907 breweries worldwide for awards in 96 categories. The awards were presented at the conclusion of Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America® in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
"This year's judge panel was our most international ever, with three-quarters of judges travelling to Philadelphia from outside the U.S.," said Chris Swersey, competition manager, World Beer Cup. "Judges commented throughout the week that overall beer quality continues to improve across the spectrum of world beer styles. While breweries may hold the awards, beer drinkers around the world are the true winners."
Summit Sunrise is available seasonally in cans from Denver Beer Co. from November to March. To celebrate the World Beer Cup medal, Denver Beer Co. will offer a limited release of the beer in the Platte Street Taproom to be available on draft only starting June 1, 2016 until it is gone.

The Spurs are in a very tough spot as they enter game two of the Western Conference Finals. They gave up a huge lead and allowed the Warriors to steal game one, and Kawhi Leonard injured his ankle again in the process. Kawhi Leonard has already been ruled out for game two and nobody knows the severity of his injury. He might be out for a longer period of time. Can the Spurs handle that kind of loss? They have played without Kawhi before in these playoffs, dominating the Rockets 114-75 in a series clinching game six. But these aren't the Rockets, as they have proven stars in Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.
Things aren't looking too good for the Spurs.
Losing a lot
With Kawhi being out for game two and possibly longer, what are the Spurs losing? They are losing a lot actually. Leonard has been the primary scoring option for the Spurs for the entire season, as he is a great driver in the paint and an improved shooter from three-point range. Kawhi is averaging 28 points, 5 assists, and about 2 steals per game throughout these playoffs. He leads his team in all three of those categories. Along with his offensive skills, Kawhi is also one of the best defenders in the NBA. The two-time defensive player of the year has the ability to neutralize the biggest offensive threat, and it was working game one against the Warriors when they were up 40-19 at one point.
The Spurs are losing a star at both ends, and even though coach Popovich is a legend himself, it will be hard to make up for Kawhi Leonard.
Replacement Options
The Spurs will need to find a replacement for Leonard. They have Jonathan Simmons, who has been a great addition to the Spurs bench this season. In the postseason he is averaging nine points but is playing great defense, which will be critical for stopping the Warriors high-powered offense.
Simmons is a high-flying wing player, making Sportscenter a number of times for his athletic dunks. Danny Green has been a great defender in these playoffs as well, making big blocks and steals.
On the offensive end, LaMarcus Aldridge will need to step up in order for the Spurs to win. He is the team's second-leading scorer with about 18 Points Per Game.
He stepped up the last time Kawhi was hurt, putting up 34 in their win against Houston. LaMarcus likes to score from the post, and this can play in favor of the Spurs. The Spurs can slow down the pace and keep the Warriors chances of getting transition points to a minimum. Patty Mills will also need to shoulder some of the scoring load with Kawhi being out. He is currently averaging almost 11 points per game. He will now be the number two option for the Spurs, and he needs to use his skills to give the Warriors headaches.
You can divide the responsibilities, but you cannot completely replace a player like Kawhi Leonard. He is a two-way star, and he will definitely be missed in game two. The Spurs have a long road ahead of them, but with an all-time great coach in Gregg Popovich, they can make it through any storm. Watch game two at 9 p.m. on ESPN to see how the Spurs fare without their star player.

As mentioned in a post below, Blazersedge was lucky enough to have the opportunity to sit down with Mike Barrett at the Practice Facility this past Thursday.
In terms of interviews that we've run on this site, this one is far and away the longest and most wide-ranging. This is certainly a credit to Mr. Barrett who was very generous with both his time and candor.
Given its length, I will roll this conversation out in pieces as I get it transcribed. Hopefully this will read as if you are having a conversation with Mr. Barrett, who is quite the conversationlist, and help you get to know him a little bit better.
Without further ado, here is Part I.
Blazersedge.com: I read your bio and understand you're from Albany. On a scale from zero to Blazermaniac, where were you growing up?
I just turned 40, so I was 9 when they won the championship, I remember seeing it. I remember at our grade school we made cutouts of all the players with construction paper and mailing them to the blazers. My friend and I were Blazers nuts. My dad was a high school coach and he had worked a little bit with Jack Ramsay.
[Tom Penn walks in with tickets to a charity event]
The rarity of this whole thing is that I can think of maybe one or two who are actually from the area where they broadcast. My dad being a coach then, and knowing Rick Adelman a little bit, because my dad coached Junior College ball when Rick was at Chemeketa, he knew Rick from some basketball camps, so we got into some games. I remember coming to some games in 1974, 1975, I still have some ticket stubs from when it was 4.50 to sit in the second row under the basket.
My dad and I would come to 10-15 games a year back then. I think that even though it's obviously not mandatory that you have a healthy background and history of your team, I think that benefits me so much more because I know where they have been. I know the history of the franchise. I've watched all those guys play throughout the years. That's a benefit that not a lot of guys have in the league. I not only feel like I know the history of the team but also the history of the fans. I know what they've been through. I know what a Blazers fan is and I hope that they get that. Mike Rice, you know is going into his 19th year, he certainly has that too.
Blazersedge.com: When it comes to Blazers rivals, it seems like Blazers fans of my age will point to the Lakers immediately. Was it always that way? Back in the 1970s, was it always the Lakers that brought out the vitriol?
Yeah, yeah. My hatred was with the Lakers as a kid.
Blazersedge.com: Even before the title?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you think back to that championship year, the win over Philly, as good as it was... the sweep of the Lakers in the Western Finals when the Lakers had the best record in the league, that was what... got people rabid... Blazermania had clearly already started, that Walton dunk over Jabbar, the UCLA vs. UCLA, you see that highlight so many times, [but] to beat them 4 straight. And then winning the title, obviously. But, as big as that, was beating the Lakers four straight.
After that, there were the Magic years down there. The loss in 1991 in the Western Finals. When I was in college, I was working as a runner for NBC and CBS when they come and do the games, I was working in media relations at Oregon State. I was at those games, I was a runner for James Brown... and I was a stage manager when Dick Stockton and Hubie Brown were doing games.
I was at that game 1 in the Western Finals in 1991, and that was when that series was lost, Portland came in to that and everyone was looking ahead to the Chicago series. Obviously it was a big upset and then there was that game 6 in LA, when there was the lay-in late that went through the hands of Cliff. That was the stunning upset.
[The lesson from all of that is to] absorb these times and absorb these moments and let yourself enjoy it because the anticipation is better than the memory or the actual event itself. There is only one of these years. The innocence will be gone soon enough and expectations will take over. The next month or two is a really fun time.
Blazersedge.com: Do you let yourself daydream about the potential championship? Do you have a scripted line for that last call in your mind? Do you visualize yourself spraying Greg with champagne? Because the anticipation builds and builds and builds...
Not to sound ridiculously selfless, yes, I play it in my mind, but I don't play my role in it. In radio you can do that. And Wheels is great at that, with the lines like Boomshakalaka and the lines he comes up with. With TV, I don't think you need that. My former executive producer would always kind of encourage me to come up with a catchphrase, but I never felt comfortable doing that. I felt like that would be getting in the way. In radio, you're painting a picture, you are the conduit. In TV they are seeing it already.
Sure there are some calls that I've enjoyed in the past, or listened to on Youtube, and thought "yeah it was good" but I never want to listen and go "yeesh, I stepped all over that. I don't want the viewers to remember me, I want them to remember the play. In TV that's something you've got to be careful of. The advice I've gotten was, "don't tell them what they can already see. Keep it simple."
Rice is good, he's a character, and you strip away some of that cartoon character, and I'm so lucky to work with him. I think his calls are probably as memorable as anything I say. I like to give him that room. Some of the traditional broadcasters really want their own space, who get upset when their analyst gets in and steps on their call. I'm not into that. I want to be there to fill in the blanks and to provide some information and entertainment.
I absolutely daydream all the time about [a title]. I wonder what it will be like. The funny thing about TV is that if we get to that point, in the Western Conference Finals, the [national] network takes over and I won't even be doing the game. Radio will be doing the games but we won't. it will kind of stink to take them to that point and not do the games.
Blazersedge.com: Well, will you be there in the second row, just calling the game to yourself?
Absolutely. I am much better nerve-wise when I am doing the game. There's excitement and sitting on the edge of your seat, but when I'm watching the games, I'm awful, I'm terrible. I'm pacing the floor. But when I'm doing the game, maybe because I know my responsibility, that doesn't mean I'm not a homer, that comes through, that's obvious, I try not to be over the top that way, but I'd much rather be doing the game for my nerves. That kind of sounds funny.
When I'm doing the game, I have my own thing to do, so I don't feel like I have control of the outcome of the game. But as fans, when you're watching the game, you kind of do feel like you have control of the outcome, and you get superstitious, you're sitting in the wrong chair, I crossed my legs the other way, my dad is that way too.
Blazersedge.com: Who is your biggest critic? Yourself? Your wife? Your dad?
No, no, it's myself. I've really had to work at being able to take a compliment. But I've been bad at that. My dad was a coach and a good coach, and growing up around the game, he coached at Idaho when I was a baby, I think my first game was when I was 3 weeks old, being little and just running around the gym, I'd sit there on the sidelines and run around, that's all I know.
Maybe coming from that environment where you are coached all the time and it's not a knock on being a coach's son, I think a lot of coach's sons would identify with what I'm saying, it's easy to figure out why I'd be my own worst critic. There are a lot of times during the season when my Executive Producer Scott Zachary, who is one of my best friends, and we will be going over the littlest things and then we'll be like, "shut up. Just put the DVD in and let's watch it." If I just go on memory, I'll beat the heck out of myself. I've got to watch it to get to the point where I say, ok.
The only times I feel awful after games, or I sit there and I'm driving or I'm sitting on a flight, the only time I feel really bad is if I bitched about a call or I went over the top or got overly excited about something. That's the only things I really regret....
Blazersedge.com: You kind of sound like a young point guard in that you've got to consciously remind yourself to forget that last one. Is that something that could happen on a road trip, for example, could it accumulate or what steps do you take to prevent it from accumulating?
A lot of it you don't have anything to do with. [As a broadcaster] you don't have control of the outcome [on the floor] but it affects your next game. So like a player, you do have to put it behind you. If you're out on a road trip and you drop the first 3, you have to change the way you're looking at things. You have to start looking for positives in different places, goodness knows, when I took over, my first year doing this, we missed the playoffs by a game, we had that huge game in Denver late in the season, so I've never done a playoff game.
I've done some games in pretty lean times, but I'd rather start in those times, because it makes these times easy. Those were tough times. Not because you have to hold your resume in one hand and the truth in the other, and lie to people about how things are looking, but when you're getting beat by 25 points...
Anybody can call a good game, those are easy, but it's when that you're down 20 in the first quarter and you don't have a chance. I remember walking into San Antonio knowing that there is no way you're winning this game so you better come up with something to keep people around. Not artificially, not trying to create things to sound cheesy, and that's where Rice comes in because we can just start telling stories and talking about stuff, but this is now becoming the fun part. The fun and the easy part, where the games and the stories will tell themselves and we've just got to be careful to not get in the way.
Blazersedge.com: You talk about telling stories and you've now got thousands of new potential fans in the old Sonics fans. I've talked to some of the guys on the business side of the Blazers organization and they have laid out the steps they plan to take to merge those two fan bases. What does that do for you? In some ways you are the mouthpiece of the organization... Do you continue to do your same style or do you switch it up to educate these new fans?
It sounds like there's a good chance these games will be shown locally in Seattle. I think the people that will be coming over, the vast majority of them are very familiar with our guys. They don't need me to tell stories about Nate McMillan, Brandon Roy and Martell Webster. I don't want to talk down to anyone who is a fan.
Blazersedge.com: But there are things that only Blazers fans can reasonably know, that only Oregonians can know. If you've been following the Sonics for 20 years...
[Tom Penn comes in again ready to make lunch plans. Sorry, Mr. Penn, it could be awhile.]
I think it will be easier for them to come aboard if they are NBA fans, they're going to want a local team to cheer for. And it's the same thing in reverse. The Seahawks get great ratings. The Mariners have always gotten good ratings in Portland. I think that will be the case. I think they will jump right on board because of Nate and Brandon, I mean we're owned by a guy from Seattle.
Blazersedge.com: So you have an open arms approach?
Absolutely. I'm not going to try to talk them into it, but I don't think we'll have to. It's an incredibly, easy-to-like team that we have now. People would be shocked if they went on a road trip with us, especially now, you go into an arena and see how many Blazers jerseys there are.
There will be groups of fans from different cities that will go to a couple of games. There's a group from Canada that always yells at us and we go say hi to them and take pictures. They went to like the Toronto game, the Indiana game, anything that was drive-able they went to. So we've gotten these relationships with fans in different cities that's really odd. A couple of them email once in awhile. And that's only going to improve now. We are such a young, likeable group of guys.
So I think that, for Seattle fans, you can't not like this team. I really feel that way. That's how it's different from the 2000 western conference finals. That team that could have, should have won a title. Sure they were selling out and people liked the team, but it's different. This group is different. And when they get there. When they are consistently deep in the playoffs, the window is just starting to open for this team, it's going to get so big. I don't know if we realize yet how big this is going to potentially get. Not to put the cart ahead of the horse, but it's going to be huge.

I read over the Red Tent themes for March, and find many that loom large in my life.
March: becoming, Lent, ambivalence, labor pains, Spring Break, coming birth, trapped, restlessness.
Becoming, ambivalence, labor pains, coming birth, trapped, restlessness. Those.
Who am I becoming in this season of life, now that my childbearing chapter, a thick volume, has closed?
What is this ambivalence I feel towards what is coming up next?
For one who has experienced labor pains crashing over fast and furiously, indicating coming birth, my head knows it's best to just roll with it, while my heart shuts down and says otherwise. I fight against the pain, making the already excruciating, yet inevitable birthing-out process, much slower and more difficult than it would be if I relaxed and leaned into it.
Birthing is a huge theme in my story, yet I am eerily detached from it. I know the feeling of being trapped in your own skin with only one way out, which is through. Through the pain to the joy.
What are these next labor pains going to birth?
As I sit in the silence of a snow day with the sound of melting snow dripping from the roof, that question haunts me. Taunts me.
I feel restless.
The restlessness is what comes before the labor pains, which signal the coming birth of whatever it is that is trapped inside. Waiting to be born.
I will be here to catch it, clean it off, hold it close, and help it grow.

Lead by example, be a team player, and exercise accountability.
Robin Lickliter is the senior vice president of events at Sparks, a global brand experience agency. Robin has been with Sparks for more than 10 years, and in that time, she's established events as a full-service offering. She's responsible for leading the event division, overseeing all teams that deliver on programs, and playing an integral role in key client relationships such as Google. Hers is the fastest-growing team at Sparks, experiencing 70 percent growth in 2013.
In collaboration with the Sparks creative and event teams, Robin plays a large role in developing event and creative strategies for programs ranging from consumer activations to large-scale, multi-day conferences and C-level thought leadership forums. On average, Sparks creates and executes 2,000 projects and events in 37 countries each year.
Robin brings nearly 20 years of agency experience in event marketing, PR, and advertising to each program, providing the perfect experiential mix.
Where did the idea for Sparks come from?
Sparks is actually a family name. The company got its start in the 1920s in Philadelphia designing stage sets and retail window displays. Nearly 100 years later, we're a large-scale marketing agency with fully integrated services. We're constantly reinventing ourselves and evolving with the demand of the industry. It's exciting.
What does your typical day look like, and how do you make it productive?
Emails, emails, emails. Calls. Meetings. Repeat. And, most likely, a surprise request that reprioritizes the entire day. I've become a morning person, and getting an early start helps me get a jump on the day. Not to mention that since I'm basically bicoastal, the earlier (quieter) hours yield the highest productivity.
When I'm traveling west, I try to stay on the same schedule, which allows me extra time in the morning. (I exercise more on the road than at home because it's like I'm gaining hours.)
Agency productivity is all about flexibility, the ability to pivot, and being able to provide immediate creative solutions. I'm charged with making decisions quickly to direct teams, and I believe instincts are a big part of that success. I'm most productive when I can unplug and get away from the reactionary workflow, but that's a challenge in the agency world.
How do you bring ideas to life?
Through collaboration with an amazing team that always takes the easy answer away. If it seems impossible to achieve, we push for it. That's what clients are looking for. And there's no bad idea in the brainstorming stage. Respecting people's voices and ideas is crucial to a successful output.
What's one trend that really excites you?
Social. It's fascinating to me. I've learned so much about so many people through social channels. It's an entirely new layer of knowing someone — including a brand.
What is one habit of yours that makes you more productive?
I have to say multitasking. Although when I really need to concentrate and stay focused on one thing, it's a challenge because there are so many things happening all the time.
What was the worst job you ever had, and what did you learn from it?
I was the marketing director for a medical office in Manhattan. I learned that I need to be in a creative environment and that I hate wearing suits.
If you were to start your career again, what would you do differently?
That's a tough one. I've had some amazing opportunities throughout my career and really value where I am today. If I started over, I would pay more attention to networking. Relationships are everything, and the value they can bring in the most unexpected moments is astounding.
What is the one thing you do over and over in your career and recommend everyone else do?
Lead by example, be a team player, and exercise accountability. I really try to treat everyone with the same level of respect and value internally (within our agency) and externally (clients and valued partners). There's no job too small to get involved in if the team needs support.
What is one failure you had in your career, and how did you overcome it?
Being afraid of failing was actually my biggest failure. I had the opportunity to take a lead role on a team but lacked the confidence to step up because I was afraid I wasn't experienced enough. I learned immediately that the opportunities in life you miss are the risks you don't take.
Tell us something about you that very few people know.
When I was 21, I traveled the world through Semester at Sea on a scholarship, and it changed my life forever. Special thanks to my late grandfather for believing in me and providing me the means to make it possible. He sent me $1,000 for the application, which started the process with a note that read, "Go see the world. It will change everything."
What software and web services do you use? What do you love about them?
I'm a Google girl. I use all of Google's products: Gmail, Calendar, Google+, Drive, Hangouts, YouTube, Maps, Play, Keep, etc. They offer a great user experience, and I'm a brand loyalist. I use a few other things here and there, but this is my primary platform.
I also use a lot of apps to more easily keep up with life, including Uber, OpenTable, TripCase, NPR News, Pandora, WSJ, Epicurious, and Urban Dictionary.
What is the one book that you recommend our community should read and why?
"The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't" by Robert I. Sutton.
What people have influenced your thinking and might be of interest to others?
People's stories are inspiring to me — stories of success, failure, adversity, triumph, celebration, and sadness.
I'm a huge fan of "Ideas worth spreading," otherwise known as TED Talks. One of my favorites is Kathryn Schulz's 2011 talk, "Don't regret regret."
Another amazing outlet for inspiring talks and innovative minds is ZeitgeistMinds — a program I've been a part of since its inception.
I also love some random (or not-so-random) voices in the world, including:
• Leandra Medine, the fashion blogger behind @ManRepeller.
• Chuck Klosterman
• Anthony Bourdain
• Arianna Huffington
• Chelsea Handler
• Diane von Furstenberg

We have seen a good rally in equities since last week. Monday was a huge run up that was met with an equal amount selling yesterday. As of press time, Dow futures has broken yesterday's low. We might be seeing some sort of bearishness near term. The best entry for an intraday short was about 2 hours ago.
Given the late entry for a short opportunity, there might just be another opportunity on the flip side.
Sterling has been strong lately. Market is looking forward to fiscal stimulus announcement today. This would be around 8PM (GMT+8).
Market is now moving in unison. USD and JPY are strong against risky currencies AUD, NZD, and GBP. This fiscal stimulus announcement by the UK government may provide some ground for GBP and a unilateral move may just pop up.
GBPJPY Long:
Entry 134.60-134.00, TP 136.20

A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was used to evaluate the time-averaged steady-state flow field within the Anaerobic Digester Basin.
Horizontal and vertical flow velocities within the mixing basin were provided to at select elevations within the mixing tank. The results of the CFD model demonstrated that the tank was indeed well mixed, particularly near the floor of the tank, which is critical for keeping solids well mixed, and entrained in the flow. Part of the design is to have some of the nozzles angled upward to increase mixing at higher elevations in the tank as well, which was shown to be effective in the CFD model. Velocities were presented graphically as contour plots, and elevation-averaged values were also presented.
Though not performed in this project, Alden can also include chemical and/or biological reactions in the CFD models. This can help to determine local reaction rates within the tank, concentration gradients, and what the rate-limiting factor is at any location in the tank. Time-varying simulations can also be run to study influences of different inputs in batch processes.

EXCITING NEWS! Eva Sigurdardottir (line producer of Rams) is in London, and will be joining us for a special Q&A after the film. Rams was a big hit at Cannes last year, so don't miss this opportunity to put your questions to a one of the key members of the production team.
For our last film of the year we return to Iceland for the "Hilarious and Heartbreaking" story of two sheep farmers faced with the culling of their flocks.
In a secluded valley in Iceland, Gummi and Kiddi live side by side, tending to their sheep. Their ancestral sheep-stock is considered one of the country's best and the two brothers are repeatedly awarded for their prized rams who carry an ancient lineage. Although they share the land and a way of life, Gummi and Kiddi have not spoken to each other in four decades. When a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi's sheep, the entire valley comes under threat. The authorities decide to cull all the animals in the area to contain the outbreak. This is a near death sentence for the farmers, whose sheep are their main source of income, and many abandon their land. But Gummi and Kiddi don't give up so easily – and each brother tries to stave off the disaster in his own fashion: Kiddi by using his rifle and Gummi by using his wits. As the authorities close in the brothers will need to come together to save the special breed passed down for generations, and themselves, from extinction.

The market has made some big strides over the last few weeks, and the patterns on the charts have been improving nicely. Each of the three major indices remains off its all-time highs, but diving down into individual stocks, we can uncover a select few that stand out above the rest.
I run through upwards of 1,000 charts daily, and given some of the action I've been seeing recently I wanted to share five that are head and shoulders above their peers.
Here they are, in no particular order.
The Best Charts Right Now: Electronic Arts (EA)
Leading video game developer Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) is in the midst of one of my favorite chart set-ups — the breakout/pullback. It's exactly what it sounds like it would be. EA underwent a heavy-volume rally to a new all-time high on the back of a strong earnings report but has since pulled back to test its old record (the black line) as support.
The period of weakness is considered healthy because it's common for a stock to take a breather after breaking through resistance. That resistance does a role reversal and turns into support, and as long as the stock is able to hold that level amid the pullback, it creates a buying opportunity.
Well, that's exactly what we're seeing with EA right now.
The Best Charts Right Now: Scientific Games (SGMS)
Click to Enlarge Scientific Games Corp (NASDAQ:SGMS) is a maker of gaming equipment and related technology, and it recently rallied to a new high following the Supreme Court's decision to legalize sports gambling in all 50 states. As the $150 billion worth of illegal sports bets make their way to legitimate venues, this stock could be a big winner.
SGMS' rally earlier this week came on big volume, and since then it has been consolidating on light volume. Another week of similar action or even a healthy pullback to the old resistance level (the black line), which is now acting as support, would confirm the breakout.
And from there, the stock could be primed to start a fresh leg higher.
The Best Charts Right Now: Visa (V)
Click to Enlarge Visa Inc (NYSE:V) is a household name around the world, yet it is often overlooked as a good investment option. That's a shame, especially since this stock is up 14% so far in 2018 and easily beating the performance of the broad market.
But if you think that yearly performance is impressive, take a look at the long-term chart.
V recently climbed to a new all-time high, and while I wouldn't buy it at current prices, I do think any and all pullbacks should be viewed as strong buying opportunities.
The Best Charts Right Now: Varonis Systems (VRNS)
Click to Enlarge We all know that cyberattacks are taking place around the clock as hackers try to steal and hijack information, and Varonis Systems Inc (NASDAQ:VRNS) is a small cybersecurity company that is benefiting from the increased need for protection. The stock has put together a great 2018, already up almost 50%.
Its chart is a thing of beauty, as the stock has been in a steady uptrend over the last year with only a few small and healthy pullbacks along the way.
Any dips to the 20-day moving average (the magenta line) would be considered opportunities to initiate a position.
The Best Charts Right Now: At Home Group (HOME)
Click to Enlarge This stock is a play on the booming housing market. This is a sector I like a lot right now, and the fact that At Home Group Inc (NYSE:HOME) isn't directly affected by rising interest rates is an added bonus.
At Home Group is a home goods retailer that has had a strong month, as it rallied to a new high and has spent the last few weeks consolidating above the new support area around $34 (the black line). This consolidation phase combined with bullish volume tells me that a fresh breakout is imminent.
Matthew McCall is the founder and president of Penn Financial Group, an investment advisory firm, as well as the editor of FUTR Stocks and the ETF Bulletin. Matt just launched two new investment advisories focused around the "next" generation investing theme. His trademark three-prong investing approach targets the mega-trends old Wall Street is missing out on. Click here for more information on the "NexGen" Experience.

Speaking today before the U.N. General Assembly, President Obama maintained that he would continue to pursue diplomacy in both Syria and Iran. In terms of the former, Obama acknowledged the difficult position that the U.S. now occupies. "The crisis in Syria, and the destabilization of the region, goes to the heart of broader challenges that the international community must now confront," he said. "How should we respond to conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa – conflicts between countries, but also conflicts within them? How do we address the choice of standing callously by while children are subjected to nerve gas, or embroiling ourselves in someone else's civil war?"
Obama demanded a "strong" Security Council Resolution to enforce the commitments made by the Assad regime in regards to chemical weapons. And while he he acknowledged that "military action... [cannot] achieve a lasting peace," he also demanded that Iran and Russia recognize that a return to pre-war Syria is "a fantasy" and that continued support for Assad's government will only lead to "an increasingly violent space for extremists to operate."
While the president announced that the U.S. would provide an additional $340 million in humanitarian aid to Syria, he also underscored that the possibility of a strike is not off the table. "The United States of America is prepared to use all elements of our power, including military force, to secure these core interests in the region."
In terms of Iran, Obama said that he is "encouraged" by Iran's current moderate approach. Last week, Iranian president Hassan Rouhani declared that his country would never develop a nuclear weapon, and has appeared to seek a resolution with the U.S. Still, Obama hard-lined his position and did not let Iran off the hook for its past transgressions: "To succeed, conciliatory words will have to be matched by actions that are transparent and verifiable," he argued. "After all, it is the Iranian government's choices that have led to the comprehensive sanctions that are currently in place. This isn't simply an issue between America and Iran – the world has seen Iran evade its responsibilities in the past, and has an abiding interest in making sure that Iran meets its obligations in the future."
While many have speculated that American and Iranian presidents might meet this week — potentially the first time since 1977 — Rouhani was no present during Obama's speech today. While a meeting is still possible, plans for another engagement were set for Thursday, when Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet to discuss Iran's nuclear program. It will be the highest-level meeting between the two nations in over 30 years,.
It remains to be seen, of course, whether Iran and the U.S. will be able to forge the necessary level of trust. While Obama chastised Iran for evading its responsibilities, America hardly appears "exceptional" in the eyes of the rest of the world. In a speech before Obama's, Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff — who cancelled a visit to the United States last week after reports surfaced that the NSA had spied on her personal email — called American espionage "totally unacceptable" when directed against its allies. "Meddling in such a manner in the lives and affairs of other countries is a breach of international law and, as such, it is an affront to the principles that should otherwise govern relations among countries, especially among friendly nations," she said.

Despite the city's thoroughly enticing distractions in the urban surf beaches and countless water-rimmed parks, Sydney, Australia has a vibrant audio enthusiast community. This was evidenced with the strong attendance at the Sydney Audio Club's (SAC) 10th-anniversary barbeque and music meeting that took place on Sunday, July 9, 2017.
SAC President Tom Waters signals a raffle winner while attempting to poke Henry Kristanto.
SAC's conveniently located regular meeting venue in Dence Park Community Centre Epping was the place for the celebratory sausage sizzle, which was accompanied by a variety of delicious gourmet salads, small eats and copious amounts of liquid amber (beer in Aussie-speak), of all brews, along with the odd flute of Champers. The event was yet another opportunity for likeminded enthusiasts to network, talk audio and share ideas and music in a friendly, open environment.
The post-barbeque meeting was staged by Australian speaker manufacturer and distributor Redefy Audio, headed by founder and chief designer Henry Kristanto. Kristanto presented Redefy Audio's newest creation, the rather large two-way Monitor standmount featuring a proprietary Redefy Audio 220mm carbon/paper mid-bass driver and 28mm Italian short-waveguide tweeter. The Monitor has been designed to mate seamlessly with its custom angled stand. Source was an Esoteric SA-60 CD player plugged into Audio GD's Master 10 integrated amplifier. IsoTek provided AC filtering and protection. Also shown was an attractive standmount from Vermouth Audio, the Little Luccas Mk.II Limited Edition, featuring a RAAL ribbon tweeter and custom Vermouth Audio 165mm driver in a gorgeous timber finish. All cable was via Vermouth Audio's top-shelf Black Pearl (standby for reviews on many of these items to come soon).
Redefy Audio's Henry Kristanto introduces the demonstration system to SAC's members.
I asked president Tom Waters what he thought may be some of the reasons for SAC's success, who said, "It's the support of the people we have. Some of them have been with us since the word go, myself included and attend regularly. We also have a very hard working committee, past and present. There's a lot of admin, paying bills, responding to enquiries, encouraging people to join us, etc." Waters continued, "SAC also provides a wonderful opportunity for members to hear different equipment and perhaps go on to purchase after a demonstration. It's very beneficial for all. We provide an anonymous feedback form which I always pass on to the demonstrators."
You call that a cake? Now, this is a cake. Steve Polley does the honours.
SAC's heavy focus on the enjoyment of music sees the second half of the afternoon dedicated purely to a "BYO" music session where members are given the opportunity to spin their own favourite tunes. Of note was founding member John McEvoy's pertinent spin of Mahler's Ride of the Valkyries, "the very same track that opened the first SAC session 10 years ago," as he stated. McEvoy closed the meeting with a reminiscent Respighi piece which was also the closing track back in 2007.
The anniversary event was a triumph of organisational efficiency while presenting a feast for the gustatory and auditory senses. Thanks to Steve Polley for the former (the massive birthday cake) and Henry Kristanto from Redefy Audio and the members for the latter.
We at SoundStage! Australia wish the Sydney Audio Club continued success.

How to Change a WordPress Password if You Don't Have Access to the Admin Email
Posted by Marty Dickinson on Aug 6, 2013
When you setup WordPress for a website, you're prompted to add an email address so that if you ever need to change the password, you can just click the "send change password" link and change your password from there. But, what if you don't know the admin username and you don't have access to the email address?
1. Login through cPanel
2. Click phpmyadmin on the control panel home page after login
3. Click the correct database link on the lef, usually something like yourwebsitename_blog (If you see a bunch of "wp" files on the left, you're in the right place)
4. Click wp_users
5. Click "Edit" to the left of the line of the user you want to access
6. Change the email address to something you DO have access to
7. Check your email and reset the password
If you don't have cPanel access, well, you shouldn't be in that account anyway!

Frequently Asked Dental Questions
General Questions
What are your hours of operation?
We are open Monday through Thursday from 7am to 5pm. Fridays by appointment only.
What should I do in case of a dental emergency?
Please contact our after hours emergency contact line @ 503-400-2453. Please leave a message with your name, phone number and complaint and we will return your call immediately to direct you in the manner that Dr. Kim deems appropriate. If you are currently in the middle of treatment, you should have instructions and our ER contact info as well
Dental Procedures
How safe are dental X-rays?
Exposure to all sources of radiation – including the sun, minerals in the soil, appliances in your home, and dental X-rays – can damage the body's tissues and cells and can lead to the development of cancer in some instances. Fortunately, the dose of radiation you are exposed to during the taking of X-rays is extremely small.
Advances in dentistry over the years have led to the low radiation levels emitted by today's X-rays. Some of the improvements are new digital X-ray machines that limit the radiation beam to the small area being X-rayed, higher speed X-ray films that require shorter exposure time compared with older film speeds to get the same results, and the use of film holders that keep the film in place in the mouth (which prevents the film from slipping and the need for repeat X-rays and additional radiation exposure). Also, the use of lead-lined, full-body aprons protects the body from stray radiation (though this is almost nonexistent with the modern dental X-ray machines.) In addition, federal law requires that X-ray machines be checked for accuracy and safety every two years, with some states requiring more frequent checks.
Do I need to take a PRE-MED prior to my dental appointment?
As of 04-19-07 the American Heart Association changed it's guidelines requiring prophylactic coverage for heart murmurs including MVP. You should check with your physician to be sure whether you need antibiotic premedication. However, in most cases only people with artificial heart valves or those that have had prior infections of the heart will require premedication. If you have a joint replacement that is two years old or less, have lost a previous joint due to infection, have rheumatoid arthritis, are immunocompromised, or have a blood dyscrasia, you will also need to premedicate for your dental visit if it will be any more invasive than an x-ray. These guidelines are established by the AHA and AAOS (American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons). Failure to do this simple task could result in an infection around the heart, and in some cases can be fatal.
Can I just have the tooth pulled, especially it if is a back tooth?
If the tooth is periodontally sound (little or no gum disease) it is always better to save the tooth if the long-term prognosis is at least fair. Your back teeth are responsible for chewing, space maintenance, bone support, cheek support, and overall function of the mouth. If the tooth is removed and not replaced by some means, including an implant, bridge or partial, a "domino effect" will surely take place. If for example, the second tooth from the back on the lower right side of the mouth is lost, the back tooth will start to drift and lean forward. Also, the upper opposing tooth now has nothing to bite against and will start to drop down into the vacant space, possibly causing a host of other problems, including additional tooth loss from "Hyper-eruption".
Why is it necessary to put a crown (cap) on my tooth after the dentist does a root canal? Do I have to have it done right away?
After root canal therapy the inside of the tooth has been hollowed out so there is less supporting tooth structure and as a result the tooth is not as strong. Also, the tooth undergoes some physiologic changes that contribute to this phenomenon. Because the tooth's blood and nerve supply has been removed the tooth does not get the same nourishment that it did prior to root canal therapy (RCT) and therefore is more desiccated, compounding its brittleness. As if that weren't enough, the periodontal ligament, which surrounds the root, also atrophies, and the tooth loses its natural "shock absorber" qualities, sometimes causing the tooth to fuse to the bone (ankylosis).Placing a crown or cap on the tooth provides a "retaining wall" on the five sides of the tooth so that it can't split or break, which would require extraction. This procedure should be done as soon as possible after the RCT so that the chances of tooth breakage are minimized. Failure to do so increases your chances of early tooth loss, not because RCT didn't work, but because the follow-up crown was not done. In some instances your dentist may not require you to have a crown placed on the tooth. Those might include an already existing crown that is adequate or a tooth that is in a relatively low area of stress and therefore is less likely to break.
What is the best way to get my teeth whiter?
Most people have teeth that are naturally darker than "pure" white. If you want them whiter, the best thing you can do is talk to your professional oral health care provider about your options. Different people respond differently to different procedures used to whiten teeth, and it will take an in-person consultation with a professional to determine what is best for you. Sometimes all it takes is professional prophylaxis to remove stain and then abstinence from behaviors that stain teeth, such as drinking coffee or tea, or smoking tobacco. Some people respond well to the use of whitening toothpastes while some do not. Other options available include bleaching, at home or in the office, with chemicals or with lasers, as prescribed by a dentist. Sometimes a combination of options is used.
Does bleaching harm my teeth?
Dr. Kim has done extensive research into the bleaching services/options that are offered in our office and feels most comfortable with these select few options bases on the scientific studies and results, so in essence, no. Some of the very early bleaching systems required etching of the tooth with a mild acid, or applying moist heat prior to or during bleaching. Even with these systems the teeth would remineralize and usually be fine. Today, these systems are much improved, safe and effective if used correctly. Some people experience an increase in hot and cold sensitivity while bleaching, however, Dr. Kim utilizes a specialized bleaching treatments that include desensitizing agents for prevention of this entirely.
Dental Conditions
What causes tooth loss?
The most common causes of tooth loss are dental caries, also known as tooth decay, and periodontal disease, which affects the gums and bone structure that supports the teeth. Dental caries is the major cause of tooth loss in children, and periodontal disease is the major cause of tooth loss in adults; however, it too can afflict youngsters.
What causes periodontal diseases?
Plaque, a thin, colorless, sticky film containing bacteria, which constantly forms on the teeth. These bacteria use carbohydrates—sugars and starches—to produce an acid that attacks the enamel covering the teeth. After repeated acid attacks, the enamel can be broken down and a cavity begins. Continued acid attacks eventually dissolve the enamel and penetrate the softer, inner layer of the tooth, where decay can spread rapidly throughout the tooth's structure. Acid attacks begin immediately after every meal or snack and last about 20 to 30 minutes.
Can periodontal diseases be prevented?
Teeth can be protected from acid attacks by removing plaque, reducing the number of times and the amount of sugar and starches eaten, using fluorides, having plastic sealants applied to teeth, and by regular professional cleaning of teeth by a dental hygienist.
How does plaque attack the gums?
Plaque can also produce harmful byproducts that irritate the gums, causing gingivitis, the early stage of periodontal diseases. If plaque isn't removed daily, it will build up into a hard deposit called calculus. If plaque continues to form on top of the calculus, it can irritate the gums, and a pocket may develop between the teeth and gums. Plaque build up can eventually destroy the gums and bone that support the teeth.
How do you stop plaque attacks?
Two key factors in preventing dental caries are fluoride and dental sealants. Fluoride compounds are found naturally in soil, water, and in many foods. Plaque attacks can't be stopped, but you can help to prevent plaque build-up by following a good oral care program of brushing, flossing, rinsing, and regular visits to your oral health care professional.
How do I get rid of bad breath?
That depends on what is causing it. Often, bad breath results from less-than-optimal oral health, and sometimes people are not aware that they are not performing oral hygiene as effectively as they could be. A dental hygienist or dentist will be able to evaluate your oral health procedures and make recommendations for improvement; also, these professionals will be able to recognize any associated problems that might be contributing to an unpleasant mouth odor. In addition to evaluating and suggesting alterations to your brushing, flossing, and tongue deplaquing regimen, your dental hygienist may recommend products such as a mouthrinse that contains zinc. If it turns out that the problem isn't in the mouth, a physician appointment is advisable. Sinus problems, stomach problems, certain foods and medications, and other factors can contribute to bad breath.
Oral Hygiene & Maintenance
Why should I have my teeth professionally cleaned when I can clean them at home?
A dental hygienist is a licensed health care professional, oral health educator, and clinician who, as a co-therapist with the dentist, provides preventive, educational, and therapeutic services supporting total health for the control of oral diseases and the promotion of oral health. A registered dental hygienist has graduated from a minimum two-year college program that includes classroom studies and extensive supervised clinical experience. A dental hygienist also must pass a national written exam and a comprehensive state clinical exam to earn the RDH license.
Generally, the dental hygienist may work in general and specialty oral health practices. Other areas of employment include programs for research, professional education, and community health; hospital and institutional care of disabled persons; federal programs, such as the armed services; or other health service locations as specified in statute or as authorized by the state board of dentistry.
How many times a day should I brush my teeth?
The American Dental Association advocates brushing twice each day. Although there is research indicating that brushing once a day is sufficient to disrupt the formation of plaque that feeds the bacteria that cause decay, this may not be enough for some people, depending on factors such as their diets and the efficacy of their brushing technique. ADHA recommends that you discuss this with your dental hygienist who understands your individual oral health needs and will be able to make a recommendation appropriate for you.
How often should I floss my teeth?
It is best to floss your teeth after every meal, but at least once in the morning and in the evening as well. It is like the old saying goes, "You only need to flush and brush the ones you want to keep."
When should dentures be replaced?
The American Dental Association recommends replacing your dentures every 5 to 7 years, including when they are uncomfortable, you are using more and more adhesive to get them to stay in and it has become more difficult to eat food.
Children's Dental Care
Do you see kids?
Yes! Dr. Kim has developed incentive plans and created the "No Cavities Kids Club" in the office as well, with an outstanding partnership with our patients. If you haven't heard about the NCKC club yet, chances are that you will be hearing about it a great deal once your child becomes a member!
When should a child have his or her first dental appointment?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that a child have his or her first oral health care appointment around age one. ADHA suggests an oral health visit as soon as a baby's first tooth erupts. We will start seeing them at least at two years of age and will base the visits on their comfort level, including rides in the dental chair to get them acclimated, including counting teeth and letting them touch and try out the air suction, water spray system etc. We find that most kids are very receptive and have developed relationships with our staff based on trust.
My child has decay (cavity) in a baby tooth, why should I have it filled if it is going to fall out anyway?
It is important to address decay upon first diagnosis, as decay that is left untreated can spread and result in pain and premature tooth loss, including an abcess. Adjacent teeth can then drift into the spaces that are needed for un-erupted permanent teeth which can cause crowding problems that are more costly to correct.

Turton believes we have the creative players to find a solution to unlock defences.
Ollie Turton wants Crewe Alexandra to stop making things hard for ourselves by scoring the first goal for once. The Railwaymen have fallen behind in our last five games but have fought back four times to rescue a point. Only the heavy defeat suffered at Wycombe Wanderers saw us lose.
The Alex have shown real character in fighting back and we had to do it again away at Notts County last weekend when a misjudgement from the Alex right-back allowed Jonathan Forte to nip in to give the n home side the lead. Crewe responded superbly though and were level within a minute thanks to substitute Alex Kiwomya.
Turton told the club's official web-site: "It would be good to get that first goal. It is always important to score the first goal and I think that if we had managed to do that at Luton and Notts County then we would have gone on to win the game.
"It is always massive to score the first goal and give yourself that platform. We also know that as defenders that if we can keep a clean sheet, then we have a very good chance with the players we have up front.
"We have seen that teams are setting up to stop us playing and they try to stop our creative players like George and Alex. They know they can hurt them but it is up to us to find a way around that.
"We need to be winning more games. We have drawn a fair few of them and we need to be getting three points more, especially at home.
He added: "I don't think we need to chase it or force things. We just need to be more patient because we know that we have players here to can make chances and take them."

Rain jackets, boots, gloves, and other equipment made using high-performing GORE-TEX waterproofing have historically contained PFAS and PFOS. For those, like me, that aren't chemically literate, this essentially means that waterproof materials are made with harmful chemicals.
Wilderness, the word itself is music. Edward Abbey states more eloquently than I our feelings about wilderness, a sanctuary that beckons me relentlessly. But what is wilderness?
The outdoors is regrettably full of barriers to entry: far-away destinations, expensive equipment, learning barriers, and, frustratingly, permits. We've all run into the permit barrier, forced to waylay plans as we become tangled in red tape. As the popularity of outdoor recreation increases, so too does the impact on the forests, waterways, and peaks we […]

In a wilderness setting definitive care is over an hour away, anyone with thumbs can provide some level of care, and you may be your sole provider. Chances are that there will be limited resources and an extended amount of time to endure on your way to the trailhead, ambulance, or emergency department depending on the severity of the illness or injury.
While there have been amazing strides to making the outdoors more inclusive, there is also a horrific past that delays progress. The following quotes and linked resources summarize this sentiment. There are plenty of people that have already said it better than I, so I will let their voice speak louder than mine. Please read through some of our country's history below as it pertains to racism and other discrimination in the outdoors. I will then provide further links that outline where we go from here. Finally, I've provided info below for how you can make a very direct and immediate impact in your community. It is our goal that we all walk away with a better understanding of the problem and how to move forward.
If you've ever been in the shop and asked one of us for help when planning a trip, we've most likely pulled up some website or resource that you might not have been previously familiar with. After years of planning trips and adventuring around you tend to start collecting these resources, but I understand they can be hard to find at first, especially for those who aren't research oriented. My goal here is to throw out some of my top resources for getting you outside and trip planning. The resources that will help for a specific trip are going to vary wildly, but the ones I'm going to cover will hopefully span a vast amount destinations and trip types.
The most important part of gear repair isn't the gear itself, it's you. Yes, even through all the ups and downs, cursing, and joy that you and your gear share, at the end of the day the gear is selfish. You invest all this money in it, the least it could do is dry itself out and quietly make its way to a cool (50-70 degree), dry closet and hang itself up, patiently awaiting the next opportunity to carry your means of survival.

PeakHour can directly monitor any device that supports SNMP and most devices that support UPnP.
If you're unsure if your device can be monitored, grab the free trial from peakhourapp.com.
- Most network devices, PCs, Macs and servers support SNMP or can be enabled for SNMP. Check the following FAQ for more information: I'd like to monitor my Mac/PC/Linux devices. How can I enable them?
- Most routers and WiFi access points support at least UPnP (the good ones often support both SNMP and UPnP).
- See our blog post HOW TO: Monitor the bandwidth usage of individual Macs for help on setting up snmpd on Mac OS X, allowing them to be monitored.
- Devices that do not support SNMP or UPnP can't be monitored individually as there is no way to determine their usage directly. You may be able to monitor them indirectly if you have a switch/router that supports monitoring of individual ports.
Expert Tip
Note that neither SNMP nor UPnP provide per-device traffic information. This means that to monitor how much traffic an individual device is using, you need to monitor it directly with PeakHour.

|The second-to-fourth-digit ratio (2D:4D) may be related to prenatal testosterone and estrogen levels and pubertal face growth. Several studies have recently provided evidence that 2D:4D is associated with other-rated facial masculinity and dominance, but not with facialmetric measures of masculinity. We found that localized face shape differences, shown here to be sexually dimorphic and related to ratings of dominance, were associated with direct and indirect measurements of 2D:4D. In this study we examined various localized features of the face, showing nose width, jaw angle, and lip height to be sexually dimorphic. We then had faces rated for dominance and saw that the most dimorphic characteristics were those most associated with rated dominance, with typically masculine characteristics tending to be associated with high ratings of dominance. Finally, 2D:4D measurements were made using three different techniques. High (feminine) values of 2D:4D were associated with feminine facial characteristics in women, but not in men. It was concluded that certain aspects of facial development are governed by factors that are established prenatally. These aspects may be associated with perceptions of the self by others that are important in the social environment, particularly in terms of intra-sexual competition and mate acquisition.

Lehi Foodie Susie Bulloch Shares Grilling Love
Most people don't buy a home because it has a deck and patio large enough to hold five grills, but then again, most people are not grill masters. Susie Bulloch is the creator of Hey Grill, Hey, a popular blog and website about the ins and outs of grilling.
She and her husband Todd have lived in Lehi for several years, but the traffic in the Thanksgiving Point area drove them to move over the summer. They were glad they could stay in Lehi and find a home that could support her grilling activities. Her new neighbor said, "We are starting to get used to smoke wafting by at all hours of the day. At first I nearly called the fire department, but now I just enjoy the smell."
Bulloch's parents owned a restaurant when she was growing up, and she has always enjoyed preparing and serving food. About five years ago she was hired to write a blog for a grill company, despite the fact that she had absolutely no experience with grilling. The company dropped off a grill on a Friday afternoon and she had the weekend to figure it out before she had to start posting five recipes a week on the following Monday. She laughs as she tells the story and says, "I really don't know how I did it. It was crazy but I got really good really fast because of all the practice." She continued to write for that blog for three years until the company was bought.
At loose ends with a lot of knowledge about grills and grilling and no outlet to share that know-how, Bulloch decided to start Hey Grill, Hey. At about the same time, she entered a grilling competition called "Meat Madness" and was featured on several local television shows including Studio 5, Good Things Utah, The Place, and 2News This Morning. These appearances helped her gain exposure and Hey Grill, Hey gained in popularity. Now she only posts once a week and hosts a live grilling class on Facebook every Thursday afternoon. She often partners with different companies to feature their products and host giveaways for her followers.
One of Bulloch's prize possessions is a trophy with a rubber hot dog on top which she won when inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records. She and a grilling buddy were tasked by a hot dog company to grill on a corner in New York City and give the food away as part of a promotion. They grilled for 34 hours and 35 minutes, feeding thousands of people. The food they cooked during the quieter nighttime hours was donated to a homeless shelter.
Bulloch doesn't just grill meat. She didn't have a stove when they first moved into their new home and they were just fine. She grills vegetables, bread, pizzas, breakfast sandwiches and even cakes and cookies. Inverting a 9×13 pan and setting the baking pan on top of it can turn any grill into an oven, according to Bulloch, who cautions, "You do need to keep your eye on the thermometer, but after you do it a couple of times it is easy to know how to set your grill."

- London Mayor Sadiq Khan permitted a 20-foot-tall angry "Trump Baby" blimp depicting President Donald Trump to be flown during his visit to the UK this week.
- Trump told The Sun it made him feel "unwelcome."
- Trump also said he would steer clear of the protests in London, which The Sun said could attract up to 200,000 people.
President Donald Trump said he felt "unwelcome" in London after its mayor, Sadiq Khan, permitted a 20-foot-tall angry "Trump Baby" blimp depicting him to be flown during his visit to the UK this week.
"I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London," Trump said in an interview with The Sun.
Khan has described the blimp as a "peaceful protest."
Trump said he would try to avoid the crowd in the capital during his four-day visit.
"I used to love London as a city," Trump told The Sun. "I haven't been there in a long time. But when they make you feel unwelcome, why would I stay there?"
An activist group was given permission to fly the blimp over London during Trump's visit, which The Sun said could attract up to 200,000 protesters. The group launched a crowdfunding campaign for the project and has since raised over $40,400.
"Donald Trump is a big, angry baby with a fragile ego and tiny hands," the group's crowdfunding page says. "He's also racist demagogue who is a danger to women, immigrants and minorities and a mortal threat to world peace and the very future of life on earth.
"Moral outrage is water off a duck's back to Trump," the page continues. "But he really seems to hate it when people make fun of him."
Trump's visit has spurred other activists to create political displays. One artist carved "F--- Trump" into a crop circle that was reportedly visible on Trump's flight path to British Prime Minister Theresa May's country estate.

Hippie flowers and ninja moves
The warm weather has disappeared completely so tunic and long pants are a necessity and gave me an opportunity to try combining two gorgeous patterns.
I made the tunic using Sophie tunic pattern by Sis Boom. I used the fabric with the smaller pattern as a basic fabric and added the other fabric to the cuffs and collar. There was a lot of left-over fabric, so I decided to make a pair of pants using "Peruspöksyt" pattern from a book "Juju – Erilainen lastenvaatekirja" by Mari Savio & Kati Rapia. The 110 cm pattern ended up being way too big, so I added side seams and took away 2 inches from both sides. An elastic waist keeps the pants up and a yellow ribbon adds some cheeriness.
S found it really hard to stand still. It seems that the tunic & pants combination was particularly suitable to some wild ninja moves!
