NFL players are scrolling through playbooks on tablets rather than carrying around three-ring binders. New helmet tech is protecting them from the league's intense collision. The NFL has gone techy, and here are more gadgets changing the game. More NFL preview:

Real-Time Player Tracking
Using radio-frequency identification (RFID) transmitters tucked inside shoulder pads, the NFL will track the real-time movements of players and officials in 17 stadiums.
The Zebra Technologies transmitters can measure precise location, speed, and distance. And all of that information can get culled into data for TV broadcasts—imagine the broadcasters on Thursday Night Football being able to tell you exactly how far Jordy Nelson has run during the game, or how fast Adrian Peterson sprints at top speed. Teams may want to see the information for coaching purposes both during the game and after.
The Zebra real-time location system will first go in the 15 stadiums hosting Thursday Night Football, as well as two others to ensure that all 32 teams get a change to use the tech at some point this season.

Tablet Playbooks
Thanks to a five-year sponsorship deal with Microsoft, the Surface tablet has become the tablet of choice—the only choice, mind you—on NFL sidelines.
Team will have 13 tabs available on the field and 12 in the booth. The devices will run on a closed-network connection, offering photos of plays within seconds, but nothing else. No video, no apps. The NFL controls the tablets, handing them out prior to kickoff and taking them back after the game.
The tablets will save precious seconds compared to teams printing photos and taking them to the sideline. Coaches will be able to see the plays in color and look at multiple pictures side-by-side while annotating them on the screen.

The Super-Connected Stadium
The new Levi's Stadium, built in Santa Clara, Calif., in the heart of Silcon Valley, gives the San Francisco 49ers not only a $1.2 billion, 68,500-seat stadium full of glass-enclosed stacked suites, but also a chance to show off their mastery of technology.
The stadium includes an 18,000-square-foot solar terrace helping to house 1,162 photovoltaic panels. But it is the in-stadium connectivity that really has the 49ers excited.
Over 400 miles of data cable includes enough support for a Wi-Fi access point under every 100 seats, meaning Levi's can support a bandwidth 40 times larger than any other U.S. stadium. The 49ers also debuted 2,000 Bluetooth low-energy beacons to provide access to static stadium information, as well as an app that allows fans to watch replays from the team's 13-camera in-stadium broadcast, use GPS to locate the nearest craft beer or restroom, or even order food, which
can be delivered right to your seat

The Big Screen Arms Race
At 60 feet high and 362 feet wide, just one of these 13mm HD pixel-spacing video boards would be impressive.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have two
—one in each end zone at EverBank Field.
The Daktronics boards are now the largest video boards anywhere in the NFL, with each showing off over 21,700 square feet of high-intensity colors. If for some reason you want to look somewhere else, the Jaguars also added new displays in the north end zone (under the giant board), new ribbon displays, and four new corner video boards.

Can You Hear Me Now, Ref?
We've seen it for years in soccer, where four referees communicate with each other wirelessly, cutting down on the need for time-sapping huddles. The NFL loves their huddles, though, so it was no surprise we had seen nothing of the sort here.
That changes this year, with each official donning an earpiece, microphone, and radio pack so they can communicate with each other within an encrypted closed system.
After two years of testing, the NFL says the system is ready. Refs will be using it for everything from in-play communication (downfield referees can call out which receiver they are watching, for example) to quick no-huddle conversations.

Pizza is a perfect food that everybody loves to eat. It's an emotional thing that forges strong opinions as to who makes the best and which style rules. I consider myself versatile. Thin crust, deep dish and variations between – each are OK as long as my pizza crust provides some chewy resistance with a crusty edge and a bready flavor enhanced by a deep-baked brown crust.
That's not to underestimate the toppings, though. For they are the punctuation marks – exciting, questionable or sluggish. Take, for example, the cheese. Each time I suffer through a slice from the big franchises, the cheese seems to be some cream-cheese "product" schmeared over the dough. It throws a soggy blanket over the pizza experience.
Give me honest ingredients and don't go overboard with them!
Fortunately, Worcester has plenty of local flavors when it comes to pizza. Here are a few of them.
The Wonder Bar Restaurant
121 Shrewsbury St., Worcester • 508-752-9909
The Wonder Bar is, perhaps, Worcester's most venerable pizza parlor and one of its most venerated. After its lights went out for a year or so, new owners peeled back fifty years worth of modernization attempts and restored its original luster.
To keep our comparisons as objective as practical, we selected the combination pizza: Sausage, Mushroom and Pepper.
First observation: the cheese. They used a lot of it. Real, honest mozzarella. So much of it that when I grabbed my first slice, big stretchy strands draped from the pie across the table to my plate. Be ready to wipe it off your chin!
Then, the other toppings. Strips of fresh green peppers were soft and sweet and plentiful. Sliced brown mushrooms retained their mild flavor and a bit of firmness. But the meat really caught our attention. Each slice had several chunks of sausage that was lean and crumbly with flecks of tasty fennel. This was a combo whose ingredients were fresh, real and applied in generous measure.
The Wonder Bar serves up a fairly thin crust, not cracker-thin, but pliable enough that you can fold your slice and enjoy it without using a fork. Baked deep brown on the bottom, I reckon the Wonder Bar has accomplished the classic pizza experience.
Antonio's Pizza
286 Chandler St., Worcester • 774-530-6000
This is as close as we care to get for dining at those huge, franchised pizza stores because, in general, we prefer to avoid industrialized food product. Antonio's new store is Pizza Wonderland on Chandler Street. Our waitress informed us that it is the largest location and then went on to explain the Antonio's experience: Its reputation is for pizza by the slice, as well as full pizzas. By-the-slice involves procedural details that we avoided by ordering a full pizza.
Before diving into the pizza, we started with an appetizer, the Meatball Skillet. This was a good strategy; Antonio's meatballs were flavorful, and the marinara sauce was well above average. The Italian at our table gave them an enthusiastic thumbs up.
Strangely, though, this promise of flavor did not carry over to our Sausage, Pepper and Mushroom pizza. The toppings were attractive and abundant and baked onto a hand-crafted crust. Everything looked perfect. But flavor was strangely lacking. Maybe that's the strategy; each table is set with little shaker bottles of spices. I added oregano, hot pepper flakes and shaky cheese in an effort to help this introverted pizza assert itself.
The verdict? Antonio's Pizza has, seemingly, an endless variety of pizza choices. It is, perhaps, the ideal place for groups who can't make decisions and want different slices for each member. The slices are huge; the flavor won't offend.
Pepe's Pizza
274 Franklin St., Worcester • 508-755-1978
With Pepe's, we said goodbye to mass-production and returned to personal preparation. Pepe's is a family business in one of Worcester's converted industrial spaces; the menu is less extensive than the chains, but the chefs are happy to prepare variations. For example, we selected the Funghi Pizza – tomato sauce, mozzarella and mushrooms – and asked the server to add sausage. No problem!
This was a classic pizza bursting with flavor. The broad, thin crust was baked golden brown on the bottom and topped with tasty marinara and a lacy layer of stretchy-hot mozzarella cheese. The scattering of mushrooms and bits of sausage added their own flavors to an underlying balance of herbs and spices.
Each slice was pizza bliss!
Pepe's feels "made with love." It's located just down the street from Edge at Union Station apartments. I know if I lived there, I'd want to make Pepe's my personal food service provider.
Volturno Pizza Napoletana
72 Shrewsbury St., Worcester • 508-756-8658
I must admit, the installation of Volturno on Shrewsbury Street was one I watched with eager expectation for what seemed at least a year. The promise of Neapolitan pizza – the planetary standard for pizza perfection – was one of the most exciting developments in the flowering of Worcester's dining scene.
With such hype comes terrible risk.
But I can happily report that the sheer joy of a slice of pizza from a backstreet taverna in Napoli has been replicated at Volturno. The thin crust has the same chewy texture; Volturno's glittering kilns have the blistering heat it takes to blacken dough bubbles that form on the outer crust, deepening the flavor with delicious richness.
Our Margherita pizza came with thin base of San Marzano tomato sauce topped with islands of buffalo mozzarella cheese and strips of fresh basil. It was pizza perfection in texture, depth and balance of flavors! It was so delectable, we ordered another; the Vongole Pizza, a flavor outrage consisting of fluffy ricotta cheese, smoky bacon and minced clams.
Of course, we want beer with our pizza. Each of these emporiums had decent selections of draft beers to choose from. Along the way, I enjoyed Wormtown's Be Hoppy, Harpoon IPA and Sam Adams' Rebel IPA.
But at Volturno, I chose one from the other coast, Coronado Brewing Company's Idiot IPA. A bit higher in alcohol content, it was served in a snifter. Bitter hops were softened with pine and citrus notes; it was an excellent value and, perhaps, the ideal complement to these wonderful pizza flavors.
This has been just a thin sampling of the pizza available in the Worcester area. Next assignment: deep dish.

An ever updated ranking of my favourite films of the loosely defined film movement, 'Mumblecore'.
This list has increased in populatory, and I figured it would make sense to include here a list of films that can be called 'Mumblecore', but I have not seen. This will be listed in date order. Please feel free to bring other films to my attention if they are not listed here! Also, disagree if you feel any films listed are not 'Mumblecore'!
As the Mumblecore movment becomes 10 years old, some of the original directors in the movement seem to be growing away from it, and into Hollywood (Duplass Brothers with some big names in recent films, which has been followed by Swanberg; Bujalski thematically), while someone like Baumbach has grown into it. As these 20 something film-makers change from drifters into adults with families and children, the films they are producing have changed as well.

WC 2007: dubious distinction and bad luck
A dubious record for McGrath and few other interesting facts about the final from Atul Sondhi.cricket Updated: Apr 28, 2007 13:50 IST
As Sri Lanka and Australia make a final dash for glory at Barbados, few things stand out, about the final and the players.
Three runs from four World Cups
The incomparable Glenn McGrath is the highest wicket-taker in the World Cup history and should pip Vaas to the post as highest wicket-taker in this edition too. But the pigeon has another record to his credit, something not many bowlers would like to have.
Though a reasonable tailender with the bat, he has made just three runs in his four World Cups leading to the 2007 final! Less than one run per World Cup so far. Though the only satisfying thing will be that all three runs have come against their trans-Tasmanian rival New Zealand at Port Elizabeth in a Super six match in 2003.
But McGrath's record was something expected considering the strong Australian lineup, which has allowed him to occupy the crease just four times in four tournaments. If he does not make any runs today, in his 39th World Cup match, he will carry a dubious record which may never get broken. A record of one run scored per thirteen matches!
No chokers these!
The only teams in the World Cup history who have the experience of batting second and winning the Cup are Sri Lanka and Australia. Before Sri Lanka beat Australia in 1996, every team which had won the toss had elected to bat. However, Sri Lanka, confident of their strong batting lineup, decided to do the opposite by putting Australia in. It clicked despite the initial scare which saw Mark Taylor on rampage. The eventual target of 242 was not too much on a batsmen friendly pitch of Lahore for Ranatunga's men.
Four years later, Pakistan decided to bat in a bold move at Lords, but could not withstand the firepower of the Australians. They folded out for just 132 runs in 39 overs, handing Australians the title on a platter.
So certainly on past record, these two teams are no chokers. Batting second and winning will be no new experience for them.
First ever grudge final
In the history of the World Cup, it will mark the first time when there is a grudge match taking place in the final. Same teams have never met in the final of the World Cup before.
West Indies met three different opponents in the final – Australia in 1975, England in 1979 and India in 1983. Australia, besides 1975 meeting with the West Indies, met England in 1987 final, Sri Lanka in 1996, Pakistan in 1999 and India in 2003.
Incidentally, the only World Cup final not to have figured the first finalists, either Australia or the West Indies, took place in 1992 when Pakistan vanquished England.
Underperformer in WC matches
Jayasuriya, the most explosive Sri Lanka batsman and one of Sri Lanka's biggest hopes, has never clicked in the semifinals or the final of the World Cup. In the Semifinal against India in 1996, he was out in the very first over slashing Srinath to Prasad on the thirdman fence after scoring just one run. While in the final at Lahore, he was run out with just 9 against his name.
Same performance was repeated in the Semifinal against New Zealand four days ago when Jayasuriya made only one before he was cleaned up by Franklin.
However, if his string of low scores in knockout matches is a good omen for Lanka, they will take it any day!
Unluckiest World Cup player
Indians talk so much about Sunil Walson who never played a single match in the 1983 campaign, but spare a though for poor Atapattu. If Sri Lanka win today, he will be the only player to have figured in two World Cup winning
teams without playing a single game.
In the two World Cups that he has played – 1999 and 2003 – he averages a very decent 43 per cent. In the last campaign when Sri Lanka were stopped by Australia in the semis, he was averaging 54.6!
But how long his bad luck can turn out to be Sri Lanka's good luck will eventually be seen today.

A third of people don't bother to protect their mobile phone or tablet with a PIN or password. Similarly, parents are decidedly lax when it comes to letting their children interact with their mobile devices. This is according to a global survey of 3,000 consumers by McAfee and One Poll.
Child's play
Almost half of respondents allow their children access to their mobile or tablet, while one in six admit that their child knows their PIN or password. Ten per cent are even happy to share their password to iTunes or other app purchasing sites to enable their kids to buy apps.
Today it is not uncommon to see children or even toddlers playing games on a parent's smartphone or tablet. It's an easy decision to hand over your device to a fractious child in the pub or on a train, but this can have unexpected consequences. Some of the possible repercussions hit the headlines recently, with the news that five year old Danny Kitchen racked up a £1,700 bill in just a few minutes on his parents' iPad. Danny innocently ran up the debt by playing a game on the tablet which automatically billed his parents as he progressed.
In addition to lax parental controls, most mobile device users remain unaware of potential breaches to their privacy as smartphones and tablet devices become increasingly attractive to cybercriminals.
These statistics support the lack of security with consumer mobile devices:
- 55% of people have shared their mobile or tablet PIN with others
- More than one in ten use the same PIN across multiple devices and accounts
- 15% of people store password details on their phone
Picking a PIN
When it comes to choosing a PIN, a majority of consumers in the UK and Germany stick with the first one they were ever given. In contrast, French and American respondents are more likely to opt for their lucky number. More than one in ten use the same PIN across multiple devices and accounts.
Passwords: public property?
Setting up a password or PIN is no guarantee that data will stay safe, with more than half (55%) of all respondents admitting that they have shared these details with others. Interestingly, this number is higher for tablets (61% have shared their PIN) than it is for mobiles (49% have shared their PIN), suggesting that consumers value the data on their phone more than that on their tablet.
Security mistakes
The survey highlights that consumers seem largely unconcerned about keeping data on their mobile devices safe. For example, only one in five respondents have backed up the data on their phone and tablet in case it's stolen (such as photos and videos). In addition, more than one in ten (15%) save password information on their phone, most commonly in the 'notes' section, meaning that if their phone falls into the wrong hands they risk opening up all sorts of personal information such as bank details and online store logins.
"It's clear that consumers are forgetting exactly how much valuable information is stored on their mobile or tablet," commented Samani. "These devices can contain personal data like bank details and addresses, so it's crucial that people take the same care they would with their wallet or computer. Failing to set a PIN or password is like leaving your front door open: Would you be surprised if you came home to find your PC missing?"
McAfee Mobile Security offers comprehensive protection against mobile device loss, viruses, and web threats. Providing protection against spyware and phishing, bad apps, spam and allows the user to lock, track and remotely wipe data if required with the ability to backup and restore personal information.

The UNHCR spokesperson Adrian Edwards said, on 10 April 2015, at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. With the escalation in Yemen's conflict, UNHCR is seeing a rise in people fleeing by boat across the Gulf of Aden to countries in the Horn of Africa – historically a route traveled by refugees and migrants headed in the opposite direction, ie to Yemen.
Over the last 10 days 317 Yemeni refugees have arrived at Obock in Djibouti. In Somalia's Puntland, at Bossaso port, and Somaliland, at Berbera and Lughaya ports (around 200 km west of Berbera), we have seen 582 arrivals, the vast majority Somalis but also Yemenis and a small number of Ethiopian and Djiboutian nationals were there.
"They all received food and water, and health and medical checks on arrival" said Edwards. The refugees tell us many more people are trying to leave Yemen but are being prevented from doing so by fuel shortages and high fees charged by boat operators. Ports are said to be closed and boats not allowed to depart.
A Somali man who was separated from his wife and daughter while fleeing bombing in Basatin district, in Aden city said he had been in hiding for three days in the port before managing to board a boat to safety. Among those with him on the 24-hour boat journey were an Ethiopian woman, recognized as a refugee in Yemen in 2002, and her three children. She said, she did not have to wait as smugglers prioritize women and children, but that her husband was still waiting in Aden for a place on a boat.
In Djibouti, newly arriving refugees are being registered at the Al-Rahma temporary transit center near Obock, where they receive food, water, medical care and other assistance. The authorities have identified a site for a refugee camp four kilometres away at Markazi. Djibouti is already home to nearly 15,000 refugees, the majority from Somalia. Most live in two refugee camps in the south of the country.
UNHCR is making contingency plans to be able to receive up to 30,000 refugees in Djibouti over the next six months. In Somaliland and Puntland, Somalia, UNHCR is refurbishing two buildings to serve as reception and transit centres for refugees from Yemen and Somalis who may return home because of the crisis. UNHCR and partners have started preparations to be able to receive up to 100,000 people, also over six months. UNHCR's operations to protect and assist the 250,000 refugees (mostly Somalis with smaller numbers of Eritreans, Ethiopians, Iraqis and Syrians), the 330,000 Yemenis displaced by previous waves of violence, and the thousands more affected by the violence of the last two weeks are continuing where possible. Main difficulties for our 115 national staff and NGO partners are the security situation and fuel shortages.

Is the severe stomach bug caused by vegetables?
You might already know to thoroughly wash and trim your vegetables before eating them. Bear in mind that when you purchase prepackaged salads and other prepackaged fresh vegetables, they have not been that carefully cleaned. Many disease outbreaks blamed on fresh vegetables are really due to eating prepackaged fresh vegetables.
What are prepackaged vegetables? They're the salads and other fresh vegetables you get in the produce section at your supermarket that come in clear bags or boxes, presumably ready to eat. Sometimes they are designated as "prewashed," a term that unfortunately does not really mean they are actually clean. The current cyclospora outbreak has been traced to prepackaged salad mix.
You know the old saying: there's no such thing as a free lunch. Prepackaged salads seem like a great timesaver because you don't have to do the washing and trimming, but when you put the responsibility for ensuring food safety into the hands of others who don't care about your health and well-being, you are at risk. Prepackaged salads are only a timesaver if you will save the couple of minutes it takes to wash your own greens and not have to compensate for it with three hours sitting in the emergency waiting room and several days staying home from work. Many disease outbreaks related to prepackaged vegetables confirm it—ready-to-eat salads are not always safe.
Let's think about why this is so. When you bring home a fresh head of lettuce, even if it is lightly contaminated with some germ it is not likely to make you as sick as if you bought that same lettuce "prewashed" in a bag. A head of lettuce is exposed to the air, which can make it harder for germs to survive. Germs thrive in damp, enclosed environments like the inside of the sealed prepackaged salad bag. Inside that bag, germs multiply rapidly.
How to avoid the stomach bug
If you're going to take a chance on a vegetable, make it one that you prepare yourself or else go ahead and soak those supposedly ready-to-eat salad greens in water with dry or liquid clay added for at least 10 minutes before eating. To be extra careful, soak them longer than that—as much as half an hour—and rub the clay water into the surface of the greens. The clay will kill the germs the processors left behind if you are scrupulous about making sure that every millimeter of salad is in contact with the clay water. The fastest and easiest thing is just to avoid prepackaged fresh foods and prepare your own, although I soak my fresh vegetables in clay water anyway, just for added protection.
If you're one of those people who feel you just can't afford the time to clean your vegetables and must eat prepackaged salads, then do yourself a favor and keep a natural disease remedy on hand. Oregano oil is the most potent, although by the time you feel really sick, you probably won't be able to stomach it, and you won't want to throw it up because it gives a burning sensation; better to take it as soon as you eat the risky food. Take 2 or 3 drops in some water if you want to try it. It will even kill germs that antibiotics can't kill.
Barlean's Olive Leaf Complex is the next best choice, and it's more palatable; it tastes like cough syrup and kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Take a couple of tablespoonsful if you're already getting sick, or just one tablespoonful if you want to prevent illness.
Liquid clay is good if you take enough. Drink 3-5 ounces and drink plenty more water afterward to prevent constipation. To treat the nausea, try hot or cold ginger tea with a little stevia in it; it's remarkably effective in most cases.
Since these are natural remedies, you can repeat them again in a few hours if you're still not well yet. The clay, especially, is very mild. If you're on any kind of medication, though, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor before taking these at all, because sometimes even foods and natural remedies can interfere with prescription drugs. The clay, for example, removes toxic substances from the body, and most prescription drugs are toxic. So never take clay at the same time you take your medications. Separate the two by at least an hour.
Don't buy the propaganda
When you read the headlines saying that a new virulent disease is "linked to" some vegetable, please remember that the implication is patently false. Vegetables do not cause disease; they prevent it. The thousands of beneficial substances in fresh vegetables are so health-giving that they could be sold as medicine, and in other places around the world they sometimes are. Arguments to the contrary mask an underlying conflict of interest.
If the FDA were really concerned about keeping you healthy, it would not insist on allowing food producers to sell you genetically modified food without identifying it as such on the label. It would not okay dangerous drugs based on fabricated or ethically compromised research that Big Pharma pays for under the table. It would not okay foods, drugs, and substances that are banned in every other country around the world. It would not force food producers to apply chemicals or sterilization treatments that kill the beneficial substances in healthful foods, like making almond growers fumigate or heat their nuts. It would not make it illegal to sell fresh raw milk and eggs, products it has also unfairly blamed for disease outbreaks.
Don't buy into the ridiculous propaganda suggesting that fresh fruits and vegetables will kill you. If agencies that profit indirectly from your illness tell you not to eat something, they are not trying to be helpful; they are trying to increase their profits and their leverage. The FDA wants to outlaw vitamins and supplements for the same reason. Once all the beneficial foods and supplements are gone, we will all have no recourse but to rely on the healthcare system to stay healthy, and that system is not even oriented toward health. It is oriented toward disease management, which is the most profitable stance that the healthcare industry can take. If you have to keep going back to your doctor over and over to manage a chronic disease, the healthcare industry makes a lot more money than if you get completely well and don't have to go back.
Safeguard your health by eating fresh raw fruits and vegetables. Just wash them yourself to make sure they're really clean. Do that, and unless you are immunocompromised, your risk of contracting any disease germ that happens to be on your produce will be pretty much nil.

Samsung EPIC 4G :: Phone's Keyboard Have A Tab Key?Jul 21, 2010
I've tried looking at the videos and pics, but I am unable to see if there is a Tab key. The Tab key is very nice for completing online forms and logins. The original Touch Pro had this key, but they ditched it on the 2nd version.
Anyone know about this yet? Or does Android have another way for tabbing?


text: Hey there! Thanks for stopping in, my name is Jasmine. Long story short, I love to take pictures, I love to capture people's special, sweet, sometimes quirky moments. Ha! I believe that everyone has a uniqueness in them that shows up in every picture I try to bring that out, and I also try to make everyone feel comfortable. As if I almost not even there. You can pretend you are dancing in the mirror, or be on a date with a loved one and I'll be dancing around you and you won't even feel it. I love seeing peoples faces after they receive their images, with a big grin on their face because to them, memories by photograph mean so much. I take photojournalist images, I might ask you some silly questions to make you laugh, everything is spontaneous and candid. I'll help pose you if necessary for portraits etc, but I try to make everything as natural as possible.

You are a Mid-Century Modernaire
Adrian Kinney helps Mid-Century Modernaires buy, sell, design and preserve mid-century modern homes in Colorado.
I help people sell mid-century modern homes . . . your home is a special place. Its unique architecture separates it from the average home in the way that it interacts with nature, light, space . . . and you. I live in one too, and I love it. I want to see every mid-century modern home continue to bring people joy long into the future, and that drives my work every day. I work hard to bring my clients the best price and the best future for their mid-mod homes. Call me when you're ready to sell, and let's talk about what your home is worth . . . not just in dollars, but in those intangible things as well.
I help people buy mid-century modern homes . . . everyday, I am searching for the latest mid-century modern homes that have hit the market. With over 6,000 mid-century modern homes in and around the Denver area, there are always opportunities to find your dream home, across many price ranges and localities. And along with those homes that everyone can find on the MLS, I am often aware of unadvertised properties that may be right for you, so let's talk about your needs and get you into the mid-mod home of your dreams!
I help people design and preserve their mid-century modern homes . . . my service goes far beyond the buying and selling of real estate. Trying to do the right things with your valuable piece of architecture can be daunting, and resources limited. I am just a phone call, email, or DM away if you would like to consult about the best things to do with your mid-century modern investment to bring it up to date, preserve its value in this unique market, and to make it the home of your dreams . . . all while making the most of your budget. I can advise on design and preservation, and connect you with great people and products who are a great fit for your unique home.
I am a preservation advocate . . . historic research is central to my work with homeowners. I am a board member of the Denver Architecture Foundation and a founder of Denver Modernism Week; both organizations working to support the preservation of mid-century modern homes and buildings through education. I also work with my team to uncover as much of a home's story and we can find, learning about the architect, the builder, and the historical context of its design and the neighborhood and time in which it was built. I feel like this aspect of story is one of those intangibles that has a direct effect on the value of a home. Even if you're not in the market to buy or sell yet, but just want to learn about your mid-century modern home, contact me! I would love to help.
I look forward to working with you!

Found: Anthropologie's Hidden Vanilla Gem
I consider myself to be something of a vanilla connoisseur. If there's a vanilla product within 50 feet of me, I've probably smelled, sampled or eaten it. My goal in life was to smell like a delicious vanilla bakery 24/7, a dream I've recognized, thanks to a hidden gem at Anthropologie.
When you think of fragrances, you probably don't think of Anthropologie or of something that is under $20 a bottle, but the Outremer Eau De Toilette in Vanille is delicious perfection in spray form.
Now if you think I'm exaggerating about my love for this fragrance, I can honestly tell you I have 3 empty bottles of this in my bathroom. I spray it on myself all day every day. I even bought the mini-version they sell in stores for my purse.
This goes on my pulse points, in my hair and I could probably water it down and spray it all over my closet like they do at Abercrombie…But luckily I haven't gone full crazy yet.
Despite my love for vanilla, I find a lot of vanilla fragrances are immature, artificial or sharp smelling.
The Outremer Eau De Toilette in Vanille is certainly a strong vanilla scent (I get compared to cupcakes all the time), but it is also warm and surprisingly sophisticated. I wouldn't say it has smoky qualities, but something about it smells like it's been baked in the oven at 375 degrees.
It's incredibly inviting and I find that no matter how much I spray on myself, people never get overwhelmed by the scent and always want to know where it's from.
If you're looking for a fragrance to give for the holidays, this is it. And the best part is, no one will ever know that this beautifully packaged fragrance cost you less than $20.

What's the requirement for a database schema (baked into the DB) basically can configure my MySQL DB structure and write CRUD claims to utilize it directly? I have never labored with one of these, but I am presuming they are just for performance optimisation?
I understand of schema diagrams that may be released as .sql instructions which create the DB structure, for instance with MySQL Workbench.
Your real question is not totally obvious in my experience. If you're asking about why come with an editable graphical representation from the schema, then there's no need for any graphical representation from the structure of the database.
It certainly is available in handy if you need to learn instantly the way a database is organized or communicate with other people your DB design. And it is sometimes simpler to edit the graphical representation rather than using DDL sentences.
If you wish to know whereby the DB may be the schema saved, it's uncovered with the standard INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables. Obviously the DDL is incorporated in the database (else wouldso would the db understand how to keep data)
Well, you can create every column inside your database as VARCHAR(255), however the result is going to be incredibly slow.
Consider how a database does the querying: we have an index (think about a catalog inside a dictionary). It appears with the index and finds the best record (the best page within the dictionary). Then, it returns the record.
When the index is small, the research is fast - because more "pages" from the index can squeeze into memory at the same time (just consider it - is not it simpler to appear with the dictionary index whether it's 2 pages rather than 500?). So utilizing an integer index for querying is significantly faster than utilizing a string index.

Meaningful Children's Gifts - A Guide
We love giving our children good things. What doesn't feel as good is the accumulation of stuff that is inexpensively made, short-lived and ends up in a landfill after 6 months. Unwanted, unused and broken toys are piling up in landfills across the world. I'm not saying not to buy toys. This is NOT a non-toy gift guide. I believe that certain toys can play a very important role in the developing child. I simply want us to make wiser and FEWER selections when buying gifts for our kids.
Aside from love, play is the single most important thing that a child experience, and many thoughtfully crafted toys and items have been made by those who understand and value true creative play. Play literally shapes the brain. It is the highest form of research for a child, it is the work of the child. Flashy overstimulating toys do not fit into this criteria and do the developing brain a disservice. The heart behind why I created this gift guide was to give mamas (and papas) out there a curated list of some really great toys and items that will foster creativity and imagination in children. Lasting things that will bring delight and have a good chance of imprinting a fond memory into your child that they can cherish into adulthood. If you've been searching for some more meaningful gift options - this guide is for you!
I began this list thinking that I would categorize it by age range, but I found it really difficult to do so because most of these items are so versatile! Since so many of them are great for ages 6mo to even 10+ years old, I decided to only slightly categorize them by type. Also at the bottom you will find a brief list of unconventional gift ideas that are truly outside of the box but very meaningful! I should also note that we absolutely do not own all of these, we have a very minimal amount of toys/possessions but most of what we do have are mentioned here Here are my top personal favorite toy and non/toy meaningful gift ideas:
We have a set of these wooden animals that my family gifted us last year (shout out to my sister Kelly for organizing that). They are so beautiful and absolutely worth the price tag, these are the type of toys that can be handed down generation to generation.
So much fun for all ages - kids can definitely do a lot more than just learn great balance on these! I've seen these popping up on my feed for a while now and I've been giving them the heart eyes.
This is an Etsy shop that I love - many of her beautiful wooden pieces like this moon phases puzzle are on my wishlist.
Playsilks are a beautiful and magical play thing for a child. Put one in the hands of any child and you will be amazed at what they do. Dancing, dressing up, making "ice skates", stirring them in a pot for "soup", carrying their teddy bears in a "sling" is only the beginning.
For a while, I didn't know what the fuss was with these things. They seemed really expensive and I didn't know why they were such a coveted item. We still do not have a set but we have a few freinds that do and Eden is drawn to them like.. a magnet! Ha! I have witnessed the draw that they have on kids, this is one of those extremely versatile toys that is good from ages 1-100! One of the only plastic toys I recommend.
We have a set of Brain Blox and many hours have been spent creating with them. I actually made a Youtube video on them, take a look here. Another example of a great versatile open-ended toy that kids can get really creative with.
A strategy game for kids as young as 3 - so much fun! Even incorporates fine motor skills development with the squirrel tongs that you have to pick up the acorns with.
Anything wooden deserves some consideration for your play shelf, how sweet is this pretend tea set?
This might be on the very top of my wish list for the kids. The arched pieces can be used in endless creative ways. If you're considering this toy, do a quick image google search to see ideas of how these would be played with.
Kids love those rare times when something arrives in the mail just for them, and a subscription box will give them something to look forward to each month. It's a gift that keeps on giving all year. There are some great creative and educational boxes available, like Kiwico, which shows kids how to be scientists, artists, creators and makers with hands-on activities and projects. They have a different box for each age group, even the really little ones!
Ladybug magazine subscription
We've checked a few of these out of the library and it is the best little children's magazine I've seen. Lots of quality stories, projects, ideas, games and learning, it's a hit with my 4y/o and I think getting a special magazine in the mail each month would be such a special childhood treat and memory.
Such a neat kids knife set! The finger hole on the knife's wooden handle not only teaches them the proper hand placement, but also positions their fingers to prevent them slipping onto the blade. The accompanying finger guard allows them to safely hold the food without the worry of them cutting themselves. The tip of the blade is round, but the blade is sharp enough to cut through hard vegetables like carrots and potatoes.
My sister gave my kids a set of these, and we love them! I recently learned that you don't want to give your kids regular crayons and markers at too young of an age because it could spoil their pincer grip, and that can be something that takes a while to correct. With these crayon rocks, it helps them naturally develop their pincer grip because of how the rock has to be held. Love the range of colors on these and the colors go on really nice and pigmented.
I love these posters - whatever is put on a child's wall should be worthy of looking at. These are educational, beautiful and are sure to inspire wonder. There are so many amazing designs to choose from!
This is also on my personal list - everything that is put on the skin is absorbed directly into the bloodstream so I love the idea of a completely natural paint that I don't have to worry about if it gets all over my kids or if they want to finger-paint with it
You guys know how much I love this stuff. We prefer this over play dough any day - and we're still on our first bag that was purchased over a year ago! We keep it in a mason jar and it feels the same as the day we got it.
One of the most important gifts to give your children is a love of nature! Ask a grandparent some of their fondest memories of childhood, and I bet there is something in there involving nature. We owe it to our children to foster that connection to nature that every human being inherently needs. Here is a bundle I put together of my recommendations for starting a child off on a journey to observe and explore the great outdoors. Nature journaling using is a powerful learning tool for kids and adults alike.
Any blank pad will do, but the thicker the better, especially if they will paint in it. I thought this one was sweet.
For an amazing close up view of birds nesting and if you're lucky you'll see baby birds hatching! Tip: do not put this on a play room window or somewhere you are going to be loud in - birds won't come unless they feel safe. (We did this)
For bird watching! If you don't already have a bird feeder in your yard, get one! It can be a part of this gift, too!
Reading to your children is one of the greatest gifts that we can give them in their early years. Not only does it create meaningful and lasting connection with our kids, it inspires compassion, and fortifies them with concepts and ideas that form the inner strength they need to face life's challenges. Sarah Mackenzie, founder of Read Aloud Revival says, "You can take your kids around the world in picture books." Picture books with quality content are a wonderful gift to give any child. Write a little note and date inside the front cover and that book is sure to be passed down to your children's children as a treasured keepsake. I want to inspire to bypass the "twaddle" type books which severely undervalue the intelligence of the child.
I could list so many good books, I'm truly in love with childrens books. I also have an amazon recommendations list of some MORE of my favorites, which I will link HERE - but here are a few of the top contenders:
This gorgeously illustrated volume of poetry — sprinkled with facts and fun things to do — sows an early love for nature in all its beauty and wonder. It is a big book - a children's bookshelf staple in my opinion!
This was an unexpected find at the library. We read it through and I oohed and ahhed and it made my heart swell. Stunning illustration paired with a meaningful storyline will do that to me. Highly recommend this sweet book.
The same author of the first book mentioned, Nicola Davies. Oh my, this book is beautifully illustrated and carries a short and simple, yet powerful message along with perfectly struggles together words that help kids grasp the concept of life.
I grew up on these books so this one has a soft spot in my heart. The classic shortened versions of little house tales.
This is such a sweet interactive book for little ones! Beautiful collage-and-watercolor art follows the seed through its entire life cycle, as it grows into a zinnia in a garden full of buzzing bees, curious hummingbirds, and colorful butterflies. Children engage with the book as they wiggle their fingers to water the seeds, clap to make the sun shine after rain, and shoo away a hungry snail.
I've got mad love for Jan Brett's books, and this one is my favorite. LOVE everything about this book.
Again with the swoon worthy illustrations and a beautiful writing style. There are a few other books in this series as well (Kate Messner can do no wrong) and they are all equally worthy of being added to your book collection.
Oh my stars, this book. I had tears in my eyes when I flipped the last page. I'd say this one is on my top five list. The paintings exquisitely portray a timeline of the little boy's early year's of life. Buy it, you won't regret it.
A subtly meaningful story paired with beautiful illustrations. The story follows a dress and a girl on their journey to Ellis Island - it is the sweetest!
I had to include another Jan Brett book, because they are just that good. I've never seen a picture book formatted the way that hers are, it is stunning and would be difficult to explain. You'll just need to see for yourself :-)
A simple and playfully curious introduction to botany and primary nature science. You can't go wrong with a book about nature! It is so much more than that - nature teaches us more about every element of being human than anything else.
A must have for every children's bookshelf! I particularly love this edition featuring exquisite illustrations by a top NYT best selling illustrator.
One of my favorite children's illustrators wrote and illustrated this book and it is one of the sweetest books you'll ever lay eyes on.
Play room makeover
If your children are still young enough that you can get away with rearranging their space and doing a slight overhaul of toys, this would be such a special surprise for them! Weather it's an entire toy room or a small corner of their bedroom, organize all of their toys and rearrange it to be a lovely and clean, clutter free space that is conducive to creative play. An aesthetically beautiful play space is not something that is only a trend and pleasing to the adults eye, it is proven to be psychologically beneficial for children and is an optimal learning environment. You can watch my Montessori play room tour if you want more information and ideas on this concept.
A fruit tree to tend and plant in spring
I think this is such a special and beautiful idea. Give the responsibility of tending a tree and the joy of observing the miracle of it's growth. Alternatively, a small house plant to tend and keep in their room would be nice as well.
A makeover of an old play structure or larger toy
Do your kids have any old play things that could use a little tic, like a play kitchen or old wooden blocks or something of the sort? Pull it into the garage and do a little mini remodel on it - some fun paint and a few cheap materials can completely reinvent a play thing! If you don't have anything, head to a thrift shop or look for free stuff on the side of the road - Pinterest has some really cool ideas for turning an old small entertainment center into a play kitchen. Or if you're handy, grab some materials from a home improvement store and make something! I remember my dad making us a little wooden outdoor stove and kitchen set and making us close our eyes and leading us around the house to show us.. to this day, it is one of my clearest and earliest most cherished memory. The pure delight and and joy that it brought was immeasurable. It felt like love in it's truest form.
Sensory bins
These are amazing for all ages but especially beneficial for ages 1-3 as they are in need of sensory experiences which is extremely beneficial for their developing brains! We have a bin of cheap dried beans with various scoops, tongs, etc.. There are some amazing ideas for sensory bins on Pinterest - you can customize them any way you'd like to fit your child's needs/interests! You better believe that you can buy a Tupperware bin, make an exciting sensory bin and wrap it up as a gift. It's unconventional, but your kids will love it!
Dress up box (for boys too!)
Clean out your closet and find a few fun pieces of clothing, belts, scarves and accessories or head to the thrift store. If possible, choose a variety of pieces of clothing that are versatile enough that they can pretend them into many characters. It should also have a few large and small silk scarves (easy to find at a thrift store) and hats and belts. Put it all in a nice basket or box. Kids dearly love to dress up and here's why you should let them according to Charlotte Mason - "Children are born poets, and they dramatise all the life they see about them, after their own hearts, into an endless play. There is no reason why this natural gift should not be pressed into the service of education. Indeed, it might be safe to go further: the child who does not dramatise his lessons, who does not play at Richard and Saladin, who does not voyage with Captain Cook and excavate with Mr Flinders Petrie, is not learning. The knowledge he gets by heart is not assimilated and does not become part of himself."
"Therefore it is well that children should, at any rate, have the outlet of narration, that they should tell the things they know in full detail; and, when the humour takes them, 'play' the persons, act the scenes that interest them in their reading"
Adult sized things
Sometimes the real adult version is better than a toy version and children know the difference! It will thrill them to be gifted their very own household item. It could be a baking set, a small real metal tool set with screws and boards with pre drilled holes (obviously nothing sharp or too dangerous). The possibilities are endless!
I love this concept. award winner! This durable tin moneybox is a timeless gift that will inspire and teach children to save spend and share wisely for a lifetime.
How cool is this! A wonderful winter craft (and very hyggelig at that! Read my Hygge blog post to see what I mean)
We have these and they are excellent. Volume limiting for kids and has a soft no-tangle cord.
old school CD player
no link for this one, any portable CD player will do! Avoid the new fancy ones that have bluetooth capabilities. We get audiobooks from the library and E loves listening to it just laying on his bed or while he's playing with toys.
Teaching kids handicrafts like weaving, knitting or needlework is so beneficial to them in many ways.

The sleepout is located within the grounds of an existing family beach house in a secluded coastal setting. Our client required a structure providing additional accommodation for family and friends that would sit sympathetically within the native landscape and create a clear architectural distinction to the existing house.
Our design concept was to create a building as a landscape element that forms a backdrop to the existing tennis court and is nestled within the surrounding vegetation. A rectilinear timber pavilion was proposed, with weathered grey cladding and climbers growing up over the walls to create the appearance of a simple timber fence within the landscape.
The scale of the building is deceptive; appearing as a single storey structure from outside, whilst accommodation within the building is split over five levels. A central living and recreation space is positioned just above court level and three separate bedroom zones are located at lower and upper levels. A concealed roof deck provides private open space for guests to enjoy views over the property and hills beyond.

The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has said that he wants to write an album with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page.
The 65-year-old singer told BBC 6 Music that he is attracted to the idea of starting a supergroup that could end up being a blues band.
"I'd love to do something, I'd love to do an album with Jimmy Page," he told DJ Sean Keaveny. "He needs a singer to drive him. I'm a great blues singer.
"I don't sing the blues with The Who, but that's what I used to be before [Pete] Townshend started writing. I used to be a great blues singer."

Get It Out There
No podcast this morning either; I really wanted to get the second part of 181 Wensworth Drive out there. That, and I'm hard at work on the novel, trying to get the third draft to look like something worthy of representation. It's a difficult thing to look at what you've created and realized you need to chop a third of it off to rework it. But I think that's the kind of thing that differentiates an amateur from a pro (at least in mindset). I could have easily convinced myself that the book was good enough, that I could send it out as is. I'm good at delusion. So at the very least, I'm glad I pushed myself to completely rewrite the third act of the book, even if it feels like pulling teeth. It's just going to make for a better product overall, and even if it doesn't get published, I can remind myself that my debut novel wasn't actually that bad.
In the meantime, you can enjoy the next part of 181 Wensworth Drive right now. Just go over to "stories" in the navigation, and you'll find it there.
Thank you to Malcolm for the massive props on the story (his words). You don't know how much that means to a guy like me.

The Web has made it a piece of cake for nearly anyone to acquire a service. And the vehicle shipping and delivery business makes no exception. A rapid search reveals you all the companies inside the Nederland, TX area. Prices are too on the web, as well as other characteristics. Remember that sometimes shelling out less at the start means a lot of hassle in the long run.
The toughest part will come next. You'll want to look into the company you are interested in. There are usually lots and lots of people from Nederland, TX that have published online reviews and they are a good source of information and facts. Of course, a few may perhaps be subjective, but try to find reviews which discuss the same things you have an interest in. Be sure to seek out previous incidents the Nederland, TX company has been involved into. Numerous car shipping firms from Nederland, TX already went through a lot of changes over the years.
In fact the really hard work has been completed, it is time for the booking. As soon as you receive your verification email, the internet part is over. Your automobile needs then to be prepared for transportation. This means that you should take out all personal objects and be certain nothing precious stays in the car. These can get lost or you might need them throughout the car transportation. Additionally, virtually every car transport company in Nederland, TX would probably suggest you to have less than a 1 / 4 tank of gas. In this way the load gets lighter, the company saves money on gas therefore you spend significantly less for their assistance. To be able to see the pre existent damage on the car, it's always best to clean it ahead of transportation.
The first thing the driver of the carrier needs to do is check out your vehicle and note the damage. This is known as a condition report and you also get a duplicate of it. This is a crucial piece of paper as it demonstrates the state of the automobile before the transportation and holds as an evidence if something occurs with your automobile along the way. This may be your only possibility to get insurance in case something damaging has taken place.
All round, there are plenty of excellent automobile delivery businesses in Nederland, TX. You just need to bother about planning the day you want the delivery to depart as well as arrive. When it comes down to a cheaper deal and a higher quality service, pick the second option. Also, do not pay anything beforehand!

Going To Therapy Does Not Mean You Have to Change
This week marks the beginning of a new year. Today's post by My Wellbeing community member and NYC therapist Josh Ring is a timely reminder that in therapy, you don't have to change.
We go into therapy hoping that changes will come — and when therapy works well, they do. However, the focus of therapy will not be on your shortcomings and what others may think is wrong with you. The focus is on who and how you are in your own right and what freedom and healing might come from facing things as they are, with out judgment.
About the Author: Josh Ring is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Psychoanalyst who sees patients privately at his office in Manhattan. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com and you can learn more about him by visiting his website: jringtherapy.com.
People usually begin therapy because something is not right with their life and they are looking for relief.
It could be that they are not as happy as they once were, or they are consumed by anxiety and unable to find comfort anymore. They made the brave decision to see a therapist, but naturally they are tentative to begin treatment and the process of opening up to a stranger.
This is a normal feeling to have, especially if you have never been in therapy before. You might be worried about what the therapist will think about you. Will they think you're crazy or weird? Maybe they will be demanding of you or you will feel pressured to change in a way that makes you uncomfortable.
Here's the thing, you don't have to change.
All you have to do is come in and talk. That's it, just say whatever comes to mind. The therapist is a highly trained listener. They are expert in listening to not only the big things, but also the little things.
Often, the things that you thought to be inconsequential are what most interests the therapist. And that's where the difference between friendship and therapy really stands out. Unlike in a friendship, you don't have to concern yourself with the therapist's feelings. You don't need to interest them. You don't even have to like them all the time, and you don't have to change for them.
All you have to do is try to keep talking,
and a good-fit therapist will know how to help you say everything that needs to be said.
With time, the change will happen and even more importantly, you will learn what you want to change and want to keep. You will learn how to live with all the different parts of yourself -- the parts you like and the parts you don't.
Therapy is a place where profound changes may occur, however, the focus of your relationship with your therapist will not be about how you need to change.
The focus of the relationship will be on you as you are, what your experience is and has been, and on the support that you need in order to understand and express yourself more clearly.
Allow yourself to go into therapy without fear of what your therapist will think. Let them meet you as you are and where you are and you'll move forward together empowered to either choose change or not.
Thank you, Josh, for sharing your perspective with us today. You give us an important reminder, at the start of the new year when we are likely to be setting goals and focusing on our hopes for growth, that we do not have to change. Rather, we need to familiarize with who we are, and learn with a growth partner which parts of ourselves we prefer to keep and which we prefer to let go.
If you'd like to learn more about Josh and his practice, or schedule time to talk by phone or meet in-person, please visit his website.
Any thoughts, questions, or topics you'd like to see featured on our blog? We're all ears: firstname.lastname@example.com or chat with us on social @findmywellbeing.

About #ShareHappyAgain
#ShareHappyAgain is a group of enthusiastic people who want to see their friends, loved ones, and the rest of the world find their happy futures after a breakup or (relationship)crisis.
As a way to share our passion about this work, we have shared 100 sponsored books around the world before the book's official launch in October of 2018! Books have been shipped all over the world, from Amsterdam to Australia, New Zealand, Europe, India, Fiji, South America, Bermuda, Canada and the United States.
Join hands for happy futures! Be part of a new generation who embrace the idea that any personal crisis or breakup can be approached in a positive, active and empowered way, full of hope for a happy future on the wings of love!
If you know someone on the other side of the world, who could use some good practical and happy advice to navigate their breakup, and you would like us to send them a book―or if you'd like to sponsor a book or several―send your request to firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi! I'm Eveline Jurry,
creator of the Positive Separation Method™!
I empower people in daily life, in breakup, separation, and divorce situations and support them to focus on―and ultimately create―their new happy futures. I live and create in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, alongside my partner John and my blended family of seven children, and travel the world to teach people my Method for becoming happy again.
To make things clear, I don't want to sound like I'm pro-breakup. I'm a strong believer in long-term relationships and family life, and I know that great communication and honesty are the basis for love that lasts forever. But when things don't work out, it doesn't mean that you need to stir up unnecessary drama, or that you have to spend the rest of your life mired in negativity. You can navigate your breakup in an empowered, positive way that leads you on the shortest path to your new, happy future―a future from which you, your children, your family, and your community will profit. Best of all, you will set an example for others that you can handle a breakup in a whole new, forward-looking way.
As most of us, you probably never learned the skills for how to navigate a breakup. It's not something we are taught in school, or at home. However, there's no reason that the standard for divorce and separation should be drama, pain, bitterness, regrettable tantrums, and reckless behavior. Your breakup doesn't have to break up your circle of friends, or cause strife in your extended family. When you use the Positive Separation Method™, what you're really doing is putting your big-girl (or big-boy) pants on and approaching your breakup like a grown-up―with the end goal of your happy future in mind!
