Two car loads of us left Glasgow at 7am but the road was blocked at Spittal of Glenshee so we had to wait and we didn't get on the hill until after 11am. The Glenshee Ski Centre staff went ballistic when we chose an inappropriate parking spot. We headed up to the Carn Aosda hut by ascending immediately behind the ski centre and soon caught up with a large group of snowholers who were floundering in immense powder-snow drifts. The hut looked impressive, plastered with snow inside and definitely not attractive for a night out. Lashing spindrift greeted our arrival at the broad ridge and it was continuously extreme hard going despite there being six of us! It took over two hours to reach the top - the normal time is only 45 minutes. Views were excellent, with the main Cairngorms clearing to the north and Lochnagar visible to the east. Despite the sunshine it was a bit nippy in the biting wind.We decided to return to the car park via the Cairnwell. This turned out to be a mistake for those of us without snowshoes. Skiers stopped to chat to half-buried walkers in the snow but we doggedly kept going into the mist and spindrift. The masts at the top of the Cairnwell were caked in ice half-a-metre thick and visibility was virtually nil. Fortunately, the descent via the line of a chairlift wasn't too bad but we had a final hazard, a steep snow slope dropping directly to the road! Getting squashed at the last hurdle wasn't part of the script so the last few metres required care. It was a bit of a rough day - I still haven't fully recovered three weeks later!

Bustin' makes me feel good.
I currently attend Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I've been shot 6 times. I know that's less times than fifty cent but it's more times than tupac so... I'm also currently single but don't tell my girlfriend that if you see her. She just gets kinda confused about what exactly being single means. I don't make many videos and when I do, they're usually not that funny but for some reason I just don't give up and keep putting them out. I'm like Everybody Loves Raymond in that sense. Lastly, I just want to say that if I found a syringe of HIV or AIDs, I wouldn't let the power go to my head. I know some people are like that but I'm a pretty humble guy.

Former Western students fell for each other in 1985
This is an Orientation Week tale of love-at-first-sight and happily-every-after, with a little betrayal thrown in to cap things off.
For the more than 5,300 first-year Western University students about to start their post-secondary education, wide-eyed and scared of what's to come, it can serve as a showcase of the possibilities.
The year was 1985, and Tania Draves had already noticed Steve Goodine at a pre-frosh week party. They were both Saugeen Sophs — upper-year students living in Western's largest residence, tasked with making sure first-years had a great experience.
"I noticed his eyes. He was cute," Tania says now.
The next night, Steve walked into another O-Week activity at a local campground, but didn't remember Tania. When he saw her, he turned to his buddy.
"She's the one," Steve said.
Turns out he was right. Their first date was a movie, The Breakfast Club, and in 1990 they got hitched.
They've been together ever since.
Now, Tania Goodine is a vice-president at Libro Credit Union. Steve Goodine is an Inspector with the London Police Service.
Neither was originally from London, but have lived here since coming to the city as frosh, Steve from Sault Ste. Marie in 1983, Tania a year later from Newfoundland.
Orientation Week has changed drastically since they were involved in the 1980s, but their advice for first-years — and others — still rings true.
"I would say, be yourself and make sure that you leave the residence," says Tania. "There's always someone there to talk to, to go hang out with, but there's more outside of residence, too."
Both say making a connection with the city is important — and it's what ultimately keeps graduates here.
"If you get out and explore the city, you get more out of the whole experience," Steve says.
"We were going to school in similar economic times (as today's students), it was tough to get jobs, and if you get out there and connect with the community, that's how you know what's out there."
The two have kept many friends they met during their time at Western, though their daughter delivered a blow neither saw coming.
After years of planning for what they thought was inevitable, their daughter graduated high school and went off to university — but to Queen's, not Western.

Publisher: Camel Press
Publication Date: August 1, 2015
Origins: From Publisher for Review
Synopsis: It's been twelve years since 'Thrilly Lilly' left the sleepy town of Wildfire, Georgia. Rich and popular but also reckless and spoiled, Lilly never heard the word 'no.' So what made her flee rural Georgia for Boston society at the age of 18 to marry a much older man she hardly knew?
Now a widow, Lilly is back, a bit thinner but just as beautiful and elegant. She is intent on running Lover's Oak, her family's cotton plantation, even though her daddy cut her out of his will and named her 11-year-old half-sister Daisy as his heir.
Why did Lilly never come home to visit, even to attend her daddy's funeral? What does a wealthy widow want with a cotton plantation? One man in particular wants answers: the town's heart-throb Northerner sheriff, Jackson Trainer. Lilly fled Wildfire the day they had planned to elope. Jackson must hide his love and resentment as he tries to protect Lilly from mysterious forces threatening her life and the lives of those around her.
Meanwhile a killer lies in wait, determined to rid Wildfire of Lilly once and for all.
Review: Lillian Mae Coleman Huntington, known as 'Thrilly Lilly' when she was young, has returned to her hometown of Wildfire, Georgia for the first time since she left at 18 to marry a rich older man. Now she's back in town to run Lover's Oak, her family's cotton plantation, until her half-sister is of age to take over. However, there is someone who doesn't want Lilly back in Wildfire and is willing to do anything to end her life. LOVER'S OAK is romantic suspense at its best. I loved the characters, how real and well-rounded they are, and the multiple twists and turns the author takes them through until the dynamic and dramatic ending. LOVER'S OAK is filled with family drama, secrets, and some sinister action. A good book for a summer read!

Hi Brian, I usually enjoy your insightful posts, but today you have posted a video made by an Australian sniggering at our accent, what is the point?
Noice! We generally don't mind what the Convict Cuzzies fink of us – so nuffin diff' vere bro. But – as we're on the subject, a couple of "backatchas"…
"Made" – How Aussies refer to blokes whose name they've forgotten, or can't learn.
"Spoid" – Often prefaced with "Amoizing" – this is what fast cars do at Bathurst, Made…
"Bison" – In the Sth Hemisphere, generally what an Aussie will wash his foice & hands in… Up Norf, it's a big hairy cow
Chur – umm … cheers – onyamade
This from the nation that gave us:
Orshtraya – that's where they live.
Koiwoi – a small flightless bird on our side of the Tasman.
Even our Prime Minister calls it Orshtraya. Time for us to ignore their silliness about our accent. If anyone should cringe about how they pronounce the English language, it shouldn't be Koiwois.
On another note, why do Orshtrayan female news reporters finish the last five or six syllables of their spoken reports two octaves below their normal speaking voice? And why have New Zealand female news reporters atarted doing the same?

The most essential aspect in finding the right mattress is correct support. You'll need the mattress to push up in your body to counteract your body excess weight. To ensure that indicates get a hard, firm, stone-like mattress, correct?
Your body isn't a straight line. Whether or not you sleep in your back, side, or abdomen, your body has curves, and a mattress should come up to support the curves and arches of your body (comparable to how a great shoe will have arch support)
You will notice the mattress dips down about her shoulders and hips, but her spine is in correct alignment. When the mattresshave been too hard, her hips would be pushed up and her shoulders would be pushed up, and her spine would not be straight. If you are in this position for too long, you can wake up having a back ache.
In addition, in the event you maintain altering positions to try to maintain your back in alignment, you are not getting into the deeper stages of sleep, which leads to you to wake up tired. The same exact consequences happen if a mattress is too soft, and you are in it like a hammock. You want a mattress to contour to the form of your body to hold it in its neutral alignment.
How to test for comfort inside a mattress
If you are often altering positions, your sleep is fragmented and you do not get into the deeper stages of sleep (like REM sleep). This indicates you will wake up tired, even in the event you believed you received eight hours of sleep. When you are trying out the mattress, you need to be in a position to lie in one position without moving about for a minimum of a couple of minutes. In the event you can do that, you've found a great mattress.
To assist fine-tune it from there, there are a couple of other issues to think about.
Other criteria
There are a number of other criteria that you simply can look for when looking to get a mattress.
Motion transfer
In the event you share your bed, you want to minimize motion transfer. In case your companion will get in or out of bed, or changes positions, you run the risk of being woken up when the mattress transfers too a lot of that motion to your side of the bed. Try the mattressin the store together with your companion, and have your companion switch positions whilst your back is turned to see how a lot motion you feel.Don't hestitate to go tohttp://www.memoryfoammattress-guide.org/best-black-friday-deals-on-memory-foam-mattresses/if you still feel a little lost.
Temperature neutrality
Another problem some people have is heat retention of the mattress. Most great mattresses nowadays have attributes to assist mitigate this. The biggest risk right here is with inexpensive memory foam mattresses.
Edge support
Lastly, you want a strong edge support in your mattress, especially in the event you sleep close to the edge of the bed, or sit on the edge of the bed frequently. Most of the average or much better innerspring mattresses use the upgraded foam encasement about the edge, but some of the cheapest mattresses just use a steel rod on the side. Foam encasement is much better. Memory foam mattresses do not frequently have a separate edge support because of the nature of the foam (it is developed to consider the form of your body, even if you are just sitting on it).

When Chuck Smock invited me on a Cabela's deer hunt, I declined. The reason, I told him, was that my schedule didn't allow a Monday through Friday affair, which was entirely true. When he called me back to say that the dates had switched to Thursday through Tuesday, I was caught off guard.
Anyone who knows me knows that I don't like guided whitetail hunts. I've done several, but I avoid them these days because if there is one thing I am absolutely passionate about, it's whitetail bowhunting. I love every aspect of it from scouting to butchering, and many of my favorite aspects of whitetail hunting are excised from the process on outfitted hunts. So I tend to turn them down in lieu of doing things my own way.
Chuck, sensing my hesitation, offered up a compromise. He told me I could spot and stalk mule deer on my own, or bring my own stands and hunt whitetails without a guide. The mule deer prospect was enough to win me over, because I've never hunted mule deer on private land, so I committed.
A month later, I tore a muscle in my shoulder while doing overhead presses at the gym. That changed my whole outlook for how much I'd be able to shoot for the year, and it threw a wet blanket right over the prospects of my feeling good about spotting and stalking mule deer with enough confidence to make a shot while lying on the open prairie.
It was pretty clear then that Nebraska would be a whitetail affair or nothing for me.
Good Ground
On November 5, I drove for 10 hours to the little town of Arnold, located in southern Nebraska. Cory Peterson, co-owner of Hidden Valley Outfitters, met me, and we quickly hit it off. There was just enough daylight left to sit for the evening, so he said he'd take me out and show me around.
Cory mentioned that he had a ground blind on an alfalfa field that should be good, and since I didn't feel like there was time to hang my own stand, I accepted his invitation. As I watched over the lush alfalfa, a few does started to meander their way into the field.
A small eight-pointer eventually ran in to harass them, but none of the deer walked anywhere near my blind. As daylight slipped away, several does fed contentedly on the alfalfa, but no more bucks showed up. That evening I met up with fellow outdoor writer Colin Kearns, and Cabela's Communications Specialist Nate Borowski.
While discussing the strategy for the following day, Nate mentioned a different ground blind I could sit. With no real desire to walk into a farm in the dark with a stand on my back and no plan, I decided to sit where he suggested. The blind, stashed next to some cedars in an overgrown pasture, looked good for catching deer filtering their way off of some distant agricultural fields.
Sunrise came and went without a sighting, and I was marveling at the way my visible exhaled breath rolled and coiled through the slanted sunlight when a snort broke the morning stillness. It wasn't my finest hour as a bowhunter to get busted in such fashion, but to leave out a detail like that would be to present an image that simply isn't true.
The doe and her fawn eventually bounded away, but not before snorting at my blind roughly 950 times. After their departure, I settled in to see if any more deer would show up.
A small eight-point rack bobbing through the brown goldenrod stalks eventually caught my attention. The young buck, loaded with potential and looking for love, ended up walking behind my blind. As midmorning drew perilously close to lunchtime, I walked back to my truck only to see another young buck standing right next to it.
A Change Of Plans
I've already listed a few reasons why guided whitetail hunts aren't my thing, but one that I haven't brought up is that I'm somewhat Type A when it comes to hunting. I hate sitting blinds and stands that someone else has set up.
Because of this, and because I really wanted to sit in a treestand, I asked Cory if I could go rogue. He was quick to say yes, and he gave me free reign over the first farm that I had hunted. I knew from sitting in that blind on the alfalfa field that a creek ran through the farm, and that on the aerial photos it looked like a no-brainer for the rut.
After a quick lunch, I grabbed a dozen steps and a lightweight hang-on stand and went for a walk. When I got to the edge of the alfalfa field where the terrain spilled away to the creekbottom, I felt like I was looking at something out of a whitetail hunter's dream.
From where I stood, I could see how the timber dropped toward the creekbottom, and that not 150 yards from the field a knife-ridge jutted straight up from the landscape. It was as if someone had molded the land to form a perfect funnel. I was just about to step into the woods to take a closer look when I heard footsteps in the leaves.
A young buck, nose to the ground and a purpose in his step, trotted right through on a beaten trail that paralleled the course of the small waterway. I waited until he was out of earshot before walking down to the trail, which was pockmarked with scrapes as far as I could see.
The first tree I eyed up, a pine at the edge of the trail, would have provided a good ambush site but the wind was wrong, so I snuck deeper into the woods toward that bladed ridge.
A perfect cedar tree, six-feet tall and straight out of a Bob Ross painting, grew right on the edge of the trail. Its three-inch-thick trunk had been scored by antlers, and a dished-out scrape below it with a perfect licking branch hanging above stopped me in my tracks.
Fifteen yards away was a perfect stand tree that would allow a shot at any of the deer that might come straight down the ridge, skirt the ridge, or that would cruise the trail through the funnel the ridge created. And, even better, the wind was perfect.
I tamped down my eagerness to go as quickly as possible while hanging the stand, knowing that I'd make extra noise if I got too ambitious. I carefully screwed in each step, slid my lineman's belt up the tree, and slowly set everything up.
With each step upward my view got better, and when I finally settled in, maybe 15 or 16 feet up, I had more confidence I'd kill a good buck than I've ever had in my life. It felt like a done deal.
The Sit
After settling in, I drew my bow and aimed a few times at random spots on nearby trails, then positioned my camera for easy access. Within maybe a minute of getting everything ready, a young six-pointer appeared out of nowhere. He stopped at the cedar tree, worked the scrape, then walked straight down the trail at 15 yards.
He wasn't out of sight for more than 15 minutes when I heard another deer walking. I was on red alert as the footsteps drew closer, but I could not see the deer, even in the relatively open woods. I don't know how they do it, but the doe approached perfectly in line with an oak tree so that she was impossible to see until she poked her head out at maybe 10 or 12 yards.
I waited for her boyfriend to show up and run her off, but he didn't. The doe stepped slowly around my stand before turning and heading toward the alfalfa field. Before reaching the field's edge, she doubled back and disappeared behind the ridge. I sat down thinking that was the last I would see of her, but she wasn't done with me just yet.
While I scanned the creekbottom, an abrupt snort caused me to jump in my seat. The old doe had snuck up the ridge to a point where she was level with my stand. She caught me with my binoculars to my face, and let any other nearby deer know she was onto something dangerous. Fortunately, she took off away from me, and away from the direction in which I expected the bucks to approach.
I used to get bent out of shape when deer busted me, but I don't anymore. I learned a lesson years ago when Wisconsin had Earn-A-Buck regulations, that a snorting deer doesn't clear the woods the way I once thought.
During that sit, a doe busted me trying to fulfill my herd-management obligations and blew until it was almost comical. As soon as she left, the kind of buck that makes Buffalo County famous walked right in, and right past me. I couldn't do anything but watch him, which stung a little. But the lesson stuck with me, so I didn't get too worked up when that old Nebraska doe sounded the alarm over and over again.
After she left, the wind started to completely settle, the sunlight began to level off, and it started to feel like that perfect time in the woods when another doe showed up from behind the ridge. She had a fawn with her, but once again, no male suitors. When I watched them clear the rise and head toward the field, I thought that perhaps I was overthinking things too much and should have just sat on the food.
The second-guessing didn't last long, however. The sound of a trotting deer caught my ears, and within a few seconds a good buck appeared on the trail, heading right for the cedar. I took one look at his headgear, and knew that I was done watching deer and needed to get my act together quickly.
From the time I first saw the buck to when he was at 15 yards and directly over the scrape beneath the cedar couldn't have been more than a few seconds. Fortunately for me, I was already hooked up and ready to shoot before he even appeared.
It was just that kind of night, which would be impossible to describe to someone who has never bowhunted the rut. During certain sits at just the right times, you can just feel something operating on a different level — a subcurrent of something magical and heavy-antlered coming your way, as if fated to be so.
When the buck hit the spot I needed him to be, I was already drawn and let out just a little mouth bleat. He hit the brakes and looked directly at me. While he ducked a little bit at the shot, it wasn't enough to do him any good, and as soon as the arrow was on its way it was clear the buck wasn't going to go far.
As I climbed down from my stand and started to organize my gear at the base of my tree, I heard more footsteps coming in my direction. Another youngster, trotting in from the timber, spotted me standing there and bounded down toward the creek. When I picked up my bloody arrow from underneath the cedar, I could see a white belly glowing in stark contrast to the ever-darkening woods.
When I got Cory on the phone, he told me his business partner was on his way with an ATV. When Dan Blowers showed up, we loaded my buck onto the ATV and headed out. We stopped along a two-track so that I could field-dress the 11-pointer, and while I was doing just that, I couldn't help but think that I could probably start to get into guided whitetail hunts more if they allowed me the kind of freedom that this hunt offered.
Author's Note
On this hunt I used a Cabela's Instinct bow, Cabela's accessories, Cabela's Zonz clothing, Zeiss optics, Victory VAP arrows, Wac'Em broadheads, and an Ozonics unit for scent control. If interested, check out Hidden Valley Outfitters and the 55,000 acres they manage for various game animals.

Jan 11, 2012
Last week we were in exploration mode (happens when we have family visit) and drove to a few never-before-seen places in the local area. Thus far, I have visited 3 (Carmel, San Juan Bautista) out of 21 missions in California. Not impressive when compared to my mother-in-law's record of 13, and she doesn't even live in CA. Of the 3, the mission in Santa Cruz was the smallest.
I thought the little figures in the paper mache chapel were adorable. This replica of the mission chapel was made by a 4th-grader. I envy the kid's skills.
Old Fisherman's Wharf. I didn't know this place existed until last week though I always pass it going into Pacific Grove. Even my mother-in-law, who has visited the Monterey Bay area countless times, missed this spot. It's touristy like Cannery Row right down the road but somehow a bit more charming. The main thoroughfare is lined with gift shops, restaurants (an unbelievable amount of them), and odds-and-ends, like places to book whale-watching or fishing tours.
We ate a lot of clam chowder last week. It's kind of become a tradition to order a cup of chowder at any new restaurant we try out and given where I live, it's hard not to find a good cup of chowder. At the wharf, restaurants hand out samples of warm soup to passersby, every place claiming to have the #1 chowder. However if I were to judge them, it'd be difficult to decide which was the best.
You'd think I'd be sick of chowder but no, I went ahead and made my own last night. A hollowed out rosemary and olive oil bread served as the vessel for my soup, with the insides of the loaf transformed into pan-toasted croutons.
New England Clam Chowder recipe adapted from Dave Lieberman. There are a ton of recipes out there that use fresh clams (such as Ina Garten's East Hampton Clam Chowder), I simply went for easy and quick yet still hearty and delicious.
New England Clam Chowder
makes about 4 servings
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 celery stalks, trimmed, quartered lengthwise, then sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
2 (10 ounce) cans chopped clams in juice
1 cup heavy cream
2 bay leaves
1 lb Idaho potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
salt and freshly ground pepper
Pan toasted croutons
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
insides of a round loaf of bread, cubed into 1-inch pieces
salt and freshly ground pepper
1. Heat the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onion and celery and saute until softened, mixing often.
3. Stir in the flour, distributing evenly.
4. Add the stock, juice from 2 cans of chopped clams (reserve the clams), cream, bay leaves, and potatoes. Stir to combine.
5. Bring to a simmer, stirring consistently. The soup will thicken.
6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook 20 minutes, stirring often, until potatoes are tender.
7. Add clams and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until clams are just firm, about 2 minutes.
8. Carefully cut the top off of a round loaf of bread (I used Rosemary and Olive Oil from Whole Foods). With a knife, hollow out the inside of the bread, leaving about 2 inches on the sides and bottom. Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and pan toast (directions below).
9. Ladle hot soup into hollowed-out bread bowl. Top with croutons and parsley.
for croutons
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet and toss the bread cubes until browned and toasted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
note: After eating the soup and scraping the inside of the bowl, I cut up (more like tore off chunks with my hands) the bowl and top and made more croutons for leftover soup. They can also be used in salads or to munch on (great snack for the kiddos).

J-B Weld specializes in producing durable epoxy adhesive products. Its original products include a slow-setting two part epoxy called J-B Weld and a faster-setting epoxy called KwikWeld. Other original products are an epoxy putty called J-B Stik and a special underwater adhesive called WaterWeld. Newer additions to the J-B Weld product line are specialized adhesives for wood, plastic, metal and other surfaces.Continue Reading
Original J-B Weld epoxy includes a tube of resin and another tube of hardener. An individual mixes the material together in equal amounts and applies the mix to a clean surface after pre-roughing it with sandpaper. The mix hardens into a malleable putty within four to six hours and fully hardens in 15 to 24 hours. Original J-B Weld epoxy can withstand steady hot temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and cold temperatures as low as minus 67 degrees Fahrenheit. It can act as an electrical insulator and is safe in a microwave oven.
KwikWeld epoxy is similar to original J-B Weld, but it hardens for shaping within four minutes and fully hardens in four to six hours. KwikWeld can withstand temperatures up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. J-B Weld and KwikWeld bond well to many surfaces, including metal, porcelain, concrete and glass. They do not bind well to canvas, vinyl, leather, flexible rubber and certain types of plastic.Learn more about Corporations

Maumelle golf coach Michael Shook expects nothing less than defending last years' title and a 4A-4 boys' conference championship next week.
The Hornets compete in the conference golf tournament next Wednesday (Sept. 25) in Booneville. The top two teams and the next four individuals will also advance to the state tournaments in October. The boys' team is expected to make a run for the state title.
"We are playing fantastic," Shook said. "Based on what we had returning and what I'm hearing, we are one of the top two teams in 4A. The other is Valley View, and they are hosting state so that will give them an advantage."
When the entire varsity team has played together, the Hornets have only lost to Conway, by three strokes. Although if that competition would have been scored the way the 4A does it, Shook said Maumelle would have won. In 4A, the best three scores out of four are used. In 7A, it is the best four scores.
"Our first three were better than theirs," he said. "But, their fourth man was better than ours."
Leading the Hornets is sophomore Caleb Kubacak in the number one spot, and he is averaging par (36). Sophomore Ryan Spurlock is the number two guy and is averaging 37. With a 41 average, junior Austin Freeman is maintaining the third spot, and sophomore Hunter Matthews is the fourth guy with a 43 average.
With 13 guys on the team, Shook has been able to field a full junior varsity and varsity schedule. Because the players can only compete in 12 matches and with 25 matches scheduled, Shook has sometimes mixed up the teams of junior varsity and varsity players.
As for the conference tournament, they are expected to win again. Shook said last years' second-place team, Subiaco, could give them some competition. However, the Hornets defeated the Trojans earlier in the season by seven strokes.
On the girls' side, the Hornets are young and inexperienced. Trying to make a team, Shook talked some of them into playing and three of the four have only been playing since June. He sees improvement each week, and while he doesn't expect a team title believes perhaps someone could qualify for state as an individual.
The girls' team is comprised of sophomore Shelby Raborn at the number one spot, sophomore Andrea Oates as the number two golfer, junior Dale Hindman at the third spot and sophomore Caroline Sweet as the number four golfer.

Anyone working with large software systems knows the difficulties of retaining visibility into those systems. As software solutions grow, it becomes increasingly difficult to retain a clear picture of how the components fit together. In an age of increasingly demanding software consumers it is critical to quickly find and solve problems before they grow. Enter NDepend, a collection of tools designed for deep analysis and visualization of the software solutions you create.
NDepend provides a rich analytic tool set to help gain a deep understanding of your code and monitor the health of a project throughout its lifecycle. I've used NDepend in a number of projects on which I consider myself very knowledgeable. NDepend provides pleasant surprises, even within those familiar projects. It's great to see the new insights I gain when analysing familiar solutions. I can quickly see the structure of my code in ways that were previously unavailable to me.
I recently started work at a new job where I became quickly involved with a number of large software solutions. Cvent have two decades of software, some written in .NET, others in Java, and a solution here in our Portland office written in Ruby. I've been a polyglot developer my whole career, but switching between so many large code-bases through the course of a working week means I need tools to help me maintain a working mental model of the structure of the various solutions I'm working with.
One of the first things I did upon returning to Cvent was to fire up the new NDepend 2017 and point it at one of the larger core code-bases I needed to learn. Many of my peers have worked at Cvent for several years. They are very familiar with the structure of the solutions they manage. It was important I ramp up quickly to extract as much as possible from conversations regarding solution structure, integrations, and refactoring.
As with most projects of any reasonable size and age, the documentation is either lacking or out of date. There are a few high level class and interaction diagrams kicking around, but with a few hundred thousand lines of code and solutions containing tens if not hundreds of projects, it can be hard to know where to start. NDepend's heat map, overview dashboard, and dependency graphs helped me to quickly learn the lay of the land.
Integration with Visual Studio
Once an interesting relationship or piece of code is located, a double-click brings up the relevant file and method directly within Visual Studio. This is a great way to navigate between a high-level view of the system architecture directly into the details of a class or method of interest. Moving back and forth in this way between the abstract models of a large system then into the details of the most interesting modules helps build familiarity much faster than simply reviewing each module line by line.
It didn't take long before my peer architects were asking whether they could get access to the tool. "Those navigable dependency graphs are awesome!" said one architect, looking over my shoulder as I merrily skipped around different modules, tracing paths through the architecture.
Dynamic Queries
At its core, NDepend is a database that automatically indexes everything about the code you write. The solutions analysis stores and indexes information about aesthetic, technical, and architectural metrics. Dashboards and reports present the data in a variety of useful dashboards and reports. Examples include the number of lines of commented code, the number of parameters received by a method. Additionally there are more complex architectural metrics such as afferent and efferent coupling.
Dynamic queries, written using CQL (Code Query Language), drive many of NDepend's visualizations. Tailoring these queries to your liking allows for customization of NDepend's reports to your own coding standards and guidelines. It's a powerful mechanism for rooting out areas of the code that might otherwise be difficult to uncover.
Rule Sets
NDepend ships with predefined rule sets. These rules are used to analyse code and provide feedback on areas of concern. The rules are built using the CQL and can be customized by the development teams that rely upon them.
Delegating a part of the task of reviewing code quality to an automated process can help to avoid having that feedback taken personally. A team that votes and agrees upon the rules and standards they hold themselves to can codify those standards as a rule set. When the automated analysis highlights violations to those agreements there is a clear statement about what needs to be done. It also avoids the costs involved in having humans perform such mechanical tasks.
Trend Analysis
A snapshot of code quality is useful for quickly generating a list of issues that can improve quality. However, it doesn't give a great sense of how the code is improving, or worse potentially devolving, over time. By measuring the trend of the code it is possible to estimate how long it will take to pay off a particular type of technical debt. Think scrum velocity measures but for code quality.
Trend analysis takes results from different analysis runs and allows you to visualize how the quality of your software is changing over time. NDepend trend monitoring is driven via the definition of a set of trend metrics. The technical team defines the rules for technical debt and quality gates. The team controls how the quality is measured. This increases the sense of ownership in trend analysis and monitoring. Relying upon an customized automated tool to provide this feedback saves precious developer hours for the more important task of writing the software. This also provides architects and team leads with feedback on how their engineering initiatives are affecting the overall quality of the delivered solution.
Learning Your Own Code
NDepend is a rich tool with a vast array of features for measuring and monitoring code quality and structure. As with any tool it can take time to learn about all of the capabilities and master their use. One of the best things about NDepend is how quickly even the initial analysis adds value. Whether I'm learning about a new piece of code or working on familiar software I've maintained for years, NDepend always shows me something new. You can never know too much about the structure and dependencies within your code.
I highly recommend NDepend to any software architect or senior developer who wants to understand their software more clearly. Understanding the structure of your code is the first step. Monitoring the quality journey it takes through every commit and pull request takes that to the next level. Professional effectiveness can depend upon having the right tools at hand. NDepend is definitely one you'll want to have in your architectural bag of tricks.
The complete list of changes is available here: http://www.ndepend.com/ndepend-v2017
Disclosure: I do not work for NDepend or Zen Program Ltd. I received an evaluation copy of NDepend for my review.

In fact, it proudly brands itself as "the First & Original Waffle Sandwich in the Philippines that uses all premium fillings." These fillings include blueberry (which we'll be reviewing in a bit), chocolate, strawberry and more. Also, it offers three beverages: Malaysian Coffee, Malaysian Strong Coffee and Malaysian Hot Choco.
Kicking off in 2012 as a food cart franchising business, Famous Belgian Waffles now has over 100 branches all over the country. Its owner, Innovention Food Asia Co., has since boasted of changing "the way Filipinos eat freshly baked Belgian waffles," by selling their products at affordable prices (more on this later), and offering above-par service. Unsurprisingly, patrons would gladly endure long lines just to get a taste of their waffles.
Fast forward three years later, and this food cart outlet continues to draw and delight crowds. For our part, we'll evaluate whether Famous Belgian Waffles still deserve the hype.
Blueberry Creamcheese
When this writer asked about their "bestseller," the friendly man at the counter replied "Blueberry Creamcheese." So that's what was ordered.
On another note, the waffles were created pretty quickly. (This writer estimates it took them only five minutes, at most.) Even though there were five or more people lined up at the time, the staff never let the pressure get to them. If anything, they took it as an incentive to whip up awesome snacks for each and every one of their customers.
If you take a closer look at the side of the packaging, you'll see instructions on consuming the waffles. Basically, the waffles are meant to be consumed ASAP, but if you need to take a little longer to do so (because you want to go home, or something like that), you can store it in a Ziploc bag, pop it in an oven and reheat for a few minutes. Yum!
The waffles range from Php45 to Php55 each, depending on the flavor. If you haven't tried them yet, try them as soon as you have the time!
Malaysian Hot Choco
By food cart standards, Php35 is a reasonable price for a hot beverage. However, this writer was disappointed to realize that the drink could've worked without the "Malaysian" label, because that's just what it is: ordinary hot chocolate.
All in all, you can get a quick, sweet snack for a little under Php100. Not bad, if you ask this writer!
If you want something to fill your growling stomach to the brim, this isn't for you. Famous Belgian Waffles only offers snacks, after all, and if you're diabetic or averse to sweets in general, you'll want to pass on this one. (Granted, the waffles aren't that sweet, but to be on the safe side, don't risk it.)
If you want something to show off to your friends, this isn't for you either. The "Malaysian" beverages aside, Famous Belgian Waffles doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is: A food cart designed to make you stop, look and have a good time, if only for a moment. It doesn't offer the kind of meal you want to photograph and upload on social media, but it does have the type you can snack on while waiting for your friends at the mall.
And if you want a light meal that's affordable like a fast food's, yet as homey as a premium coffee shop's, then Famous Belgian Waffles has just the thing for you. Light, fluffy yet satisfying, the Famous Belgian Waffles will bring back those childhood memories of yummy breakfast mornings before heading off for school.
Other Information
In Makati, Famous Belgian Waffles has seven branches. They are in the Times Square Food Court (Pacific Star Building, Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue), Cash and Carry Mall (Food Court, 2nd Floor, Palanan), PBCom Tower (6795 Ayala Avenue cor. V. A. Rufino Street), Waltermart (5th Floor, 790 A.

Office of Faith Based Initiatives
2651 West Washington Blvd
Chicago, IL 60612
Crisis Hotline Support:
The Office of Faith Based Initiatives (OFBI), is committed and dedicated to bridging the gaps between Chicago Public Schools and the faith based communities of Chicago.
Our mission is to establish effective partnerships with faith based institutions city-wide. We understand the role of faith based leaders as valuable resources, and know that these partnerships actively engage the community and contributes towards the success of our students and schools. OFBI has several programmatic branches: Safe Haven (more details below), Crisis Training, The Church Adopt-a-School, and Capacity Building Training.
The Safe Haven program is housed in the Office of Faith Based Initiatives of Chicago Public Schools and provides a "safe haven" for CPS students that is a reliable and no cost alternative place for students and parents during critical high violence periods in the city. The mission of Safe Haven to eradicate bullying and instill practices to combat youth violence and to engage students in workshops that focus on positive conflict resolutions, anger management, anti-bullying, and anti-violence.
Safe Haven is a partnership between CPS and the Faith Community. There are currently over 300 established partners. The program runs in 3 cycles: Afterschool (November - May); Spring Break (March/April); Summer Break (July-August). The program serves over 12,000 students annually.
One of the many functions of the Children First Fund is to assist with funeral arrangements for an untimely death of an active CPS student. This operation is housed in the Office of Faith Based Initiatives (OFBI), and the Office of Family and Community Engagement (FACE). Once a crisis alert is issued from the Crisis Response Team, an OFBI Field Coordinator is assigned to contact the family, express condolences, and work with the family and funeral home to assist with financial support.

Re: Yelland Stoke Damerel/Plymouth
In reply to:
Yelland Stoke Damerel/Plymouth
Debbie Simmons 8/21/08
William and Mary lived in Tavistock, Devon.I am aware of this because I am researching another William Yelland who also lived there and keep trying to untangle the two.
I have the Devon FHS baptism and marriage books.It shows Elizabeth baptised 25 March 1818 with her twin Sidwell Yelland.
Their first child was baptised Mary Rockwell Yelland in 1814.The marriage books show a William Yelland married Mary Rockwell in Tavistock on 28 March 1778.
I had hoped that might help me find my William but it seems clear that this was the parents of William the mason.
There was also a marriage of Sidwell Yelland to John Walters in Tavistock on 1 June 1814.As Sidwell was the first name of the twin to your Elizabeth I presume Sidwell Yelland was your William's sister.
An Elizabeth Yelland also married a Henry Poolly on 18 September 1826.

What's the Latest Development?
This is the story of a business that a decade ago was nearly bankrupt. To cut costs, the model railway company Hornby outsourced to China and was pleasantly surprised to find production there not only cheaper, but of superb quality. Seizing the opportunity, middle managers started spending the savings on adding quality, particularly lots of extra detail like windscreen wipers on a locomotive. Sales increased substantially and they found it was not fathers buying trains for their children, but for themselves. A new market had inadvertently been found.
What's the Big Idea?

Moments after she was sworn in Monday as the newest Shawnee County District Court judge, Judge Rebecca W. Crotty was about to say a few remarks to a courtroom full of judges, courthouse employees, family members and legislators.
Crotty had received her oath of office, robes and gavel when Chief Judge Nancy Parrish also passed her the large black on-call book.
Judges rotate the duty of the on-call judge, who handles a variety of duties when the courts are closed, including late-night phone calls requiring a judge's attention. At 2 a.m. Monday, Parrish was awakened with a request for a search warrant. An on-call judge also reviews police reports and determines the amount of bonds, and to determine whether law enforcement officers have authority to detain a juvenile.
On the weekends, the on-call judge often goes to the Shawnee County Jail as part of the duty.
"You make me feel so welcome," Crotty quipped when she took the on-call book.
Just minutes earlier, her daughter, Beth Crotty, had held a well-worn family Bible so Crotty could take the oath administered by Kansas Supreme Court Justice Marla Luckert. Crotty then slipped on the black robe of a district court judge for the first time.
Printed on the Bible's cover was "William K. Wieland."
"It was my father's Bible," Judge Crotty said. "He would be so excited," she said of William Wieland, who died in 1977. "He taught me that nothing is impossible.
"It's an incredible challenge, it's an incredible honor," Crotty said of her judicial appointment by Gov. Mark Parkinson. "This is a very busy court."
Crotty is smart, compassionate, patient, curious, a great listener, and fair, Topeka lawyer Patty Riley said. Crotty and Riley have been friends since the 1970s when the two attended graduate school at The University of Kansas, were teachers at Capital City High in Topeka, were mothers, and were among the 20 women in a class of 200 to attend Washburn University School of Law.
After graduating from law school in 1977 and after a stint at the Kansas Supreme Court as a research attorney, Crotty returned to her hometown of Garden City as vice president and bank counsel at the Garden National Bank for 12 years. She worked in a law firm for seven years handling cases tied to real estate, oil and gas, employment law, and juvenile, criminal and child-in-need-of-care cases.
As a judge on the Kansas Court of Tax Appeals, she cut in half the amount of time a case spent in the tax court. For that, Crotty received the Tax Court Judge of the Year award at a national conference last week, Riley said. Crotty was a tax court judge for six years and a magistrate judge in Finney County District Court for five years.
After she drives out-of-town family members to airports to return home, Crotty's first work as a district court judge today will be to help review protection-from-abuse and protection-from-stalking paperwork.
Crotty filled the vacancy left by the retirement on Aug. 2 of District Judge Jan Leuenberger, a 15-year veteran.
Other members of Crotty's family attending the swearing in were her mother, Molly Wieland; her sister, Mary Burns, of Sioux City, Iowa; and her brother, Bill Wieland, of Ulysses.

Almost Half of Foster Music Camp Participants Return as EKU Students
For the past 76 summers, almost 40,000 talented young musicians have honed their playing skills at Eastern Kentucky University's Stephen Collins Foster Music Camp, the nation's second oldest music camp and longest consecutive operational camp.
At least seventeen countries count Foster Camp alumni, and many participants have gone on to distinguished careers as performers and music educators.
And, as a recent study indicated, almost half – 46 percent of the Foster Campers – eventually return to EKU to pursue a college degree, many in the University's Department of Music.
"Foster Camp was extremely successful this year with record attendance in all camps," said Rob James, chair of EKU's Department of Music. "The students, faculty and staff all did a tremendous job, as witnessed in their performances. Ben Walker, the camp director, continues to do an excellent job in the organization and operations of the camp. The Department of Music looks forward to working with Ben for years to come."
Founded in the midst of the Great Depression, the Foster Camps – with numerous camp options throughout June for middle school and high school students – continue to draw young musicians from throughout the nation and even internationally.
Only the famous Interlochen Music Camp in Michigan has a longer history in the U.S. than EKU's Foster Camp. Many young musicians return year after year to the Richmond campus. It is not unusual for a student to enter the camp as a sixth-grader to attend the Middle School Instrumental Camp and still be attending the High School Instrumental Camp five or six years later.
One key to the Camp's longevity and success has been continuity in leadership. An EKU graduate and former Foster Camp participant, Walker serves as only the sixth director of the Camp.
The camp's first director, in 1936, was Henri Schnabl, a former member of Kaiser Wilhelm's personal band. He was followed by James Van Peursem (1940-63), Nick Koenigstein (1964-67), Dr. Robert Hartwell (1968-99), Dr. Joe Allison (1999-2007) and Walker.
Famous alumni of the Foster Camp include Jim Walker, world-renowned flautist and a member of Free Flight, who attended in 1959 and 1962.
"(The Foster Camp) has a deep impact on me," Walker said, "and was a very important part of my musical education and direction. Being around kids who were serious about music was very inspiring and to this day brings back profoundly fond memories."
Another Foster Camp alum, Rob Parton, is considered one of the finest trumpet players in Chicago and has played with Maynard Ferguson, Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band, Tony Bennett, the Woody Herman Orchestra, Mel Torme and Natalie Cole, among others.
"I would have to say that Foster was the beginning of my serious musical career," said Parton, who attended the camp 1979-81. "I was inspired every summer by great teachers and role models. I would not be the same musician I am today without the formative years of Foster Camp.
James Dickey III, who attended the Camp in 1970 and 1971, is an oboist and solo English hornist with the United States Marine Band.
"My summer camp years there set the standard of musical excellence that started me out on a successful path to a career as a professional musician," Dickey said.
EKU is recognized as a Conn-Selmer School. The distinction recognizes a high level of academic and musical excellence at qualified colleges and universities and is designed to increase the institution's national and international profile as a music school, allowing it to recruit more high-quality students, secure more grants, and provide for a long-term position as a leader in music and music education.
For more information about the Foster Music Camp, visit fostercamp.org, call 859-622-3266 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Carl Jung Quotes About PastQuotes about: Past
An inflated consciousness is always egocentric and conscious of nothing but its own existence. It is incapable of learning from the past, incapable of understanding contemporary events, and incapable of drawing right conclusions about the future. It is hypnotized by itself and therefore cannot be argued with. It inevitably dooms itself to calamities that must strike it dead.
Our mind has its history, just as our body has its history. You might be just as astonished that man has an appendix, for instance. Does he know he ought to have an appendix? He is just born with it....Our unconscious mind, like our body, is a storehouse of relics and memories of the past. A study of the structure of the unconscious collective mind would reveal the same discoveries as you make in comparative anatomy. We do not need to think that there is anything mystical about it.
We carry our past with us, to wit, the primitive and inferior man with his desires and emotions, and it is only with an enormous effort that we can detach ourselves from this burden. If it comes to a neurosis, we invariably have to deal with a considerably intensified shadow. And if such a person wants to be cured it is necessary to find a way in which his conscious personality and his shadow can live together.

When Curiosity first touched down on Mars, Internet pranksters were quick to mock up photographs of alien life on the alien landscape.But it seems Nasa has itself captured something very strange on camera, including a strange white light dancing across the horizon of the red planet, and four blobs hovering in the sky
While the images are certainly a curiosity, Nasa and photography experts insist that these are nothing more than blemishes on the images, picked up by the camera lens sitting on the rover at a distance of 350 million miles away.
So far, Nasa has not commented on any of the strange sightings, but alien hunters have suggested these are alien ships monitoring our baby steps into the universe.
YouTube user StephenHannardADGUK, part of a group called Alien Disclosure UK, spotted the anomalies on the NASA images, publicly available on the space agency's website, and applied a series of filters to try to shed light on the mystery.

Like will NASA have a spotless record with no evidence that they lied or played down / damage controlled any hint of Alien life?

What isnt boring to them however, IS ALIENS, the newspapers know that, they know it will grab attention and sell papers.
I personaly blame H.G Wells, and that lesson wasnt lost on the media.

Belay Enterprises History and Mission
Belay Enterprises, a faith-based nonprofit organization that creates businesses to employ and job train individuals rebuilding lives from addiction, homelessness and prison.
In 1994, a group of Christian businessmen and urban pastors, all with a heart for urban Denver, began meeting about their desire to impact the employment side of poverty, and Belay was born. Over the years, Belay has served hundreds of individuals looking to rebuild their employability. The organization's first project was Bud's Warehouse, a home improvement thrift store that recycled leftover construction and home improvement materials. Bud's main goal was to provide job training and employment for individuals rebuilding lives. In addition, profits from the business would be reinvested in the community by providing loans and technical assistance for entrepreneurial business startups.
As with many start-ups, Belay experienced a difficult road to profitability for Bud's Warehouse. The store struggled with attracting customers even while receiving fantastic building donations from the community. Lack of profits made Belay's business micro loan dreams difficult to sustain. In 1998, the micro lending program was suspended to focus energies on establishing Bud's Warehouse. The hope was to revisit business development activities after Bud's started to thrive.God soon answered the organization's prayers. In February of 2000, Mark Koebrich, with the local NBC affiliate 9News, did a sweeps week story on home improvement deals at Bud's Warehouse. The story aired on the night of a big snowstorm following the highest rated ER episode in NBC history. Overnight, Bud's became a smash hit with long lines people waiting to enter the store for the next few days. Like the bible story of Jesus multiplying the fish and loaves, God multiplied Bud's building materials to accommodate the store's new popularity. Bud's Warehouse was able to build on its popularity to increase the number of jobs for individuals rebuilding lives while developing resources for new ventures…an approach that continues today.
To build on Bud's success, Belay pursued an incubation model for future businesses and started Baby Buds, a job-training program for single moms. A few years later, Belay incubated the Good Neighbor Garage and Freedom Cleaning Services. All three of these start ups were spun off from Belay after reaching self-sufficiency and continue to thrive as independent organizations.
Belay mission continues to build today starting new projects every year. Current ventures include Purple Door Coffee and New Beginnings Custom Woodworks. Starting in January of 2016, Belay Venture Partners will begin. Check out the website to learn more about these ventures.

products to sell online - Local Sourcing Techniques - Product Sourcing for E-Biz Newbies
by Chris Malta
An Expert's Advice
To get the most out of local sourcing, it helps to observe some proven practices. Dralle offers the following tips to help you derive maximum benefit from your product sourcing trips:
- Start small. Never spend over $5 on any one item until you've been at it for a while and know what you're doing. You'll save yourself a lot of money if you set a low limit in the beginning and stick to it.
- Don't hold out for those "once in a lifetime" deals: they're called that for a reason. The big hits are few and far between; you'll make a much better, not to mention steadier, living by selling a large number of ten and twenty dollar items consistently. Be open to a large variety of low- to medium-profit items - these will most likely comprise the bulk of your eBay sales.
- If it will sell, buy it. Selling in a niche is always smart, but don't ignore items you know will turn a good profit on eBay just because they're not what you usually put in your auctions.
- Make a plan. Your time is far too valuable to wander aimlessly.
Open the newspaper the night before you go garage saling, and choose which sales you want to hit. Look for key words and phrases you'd like to target: "Lots of USC Merchandise," "Nike Sample Sale," "Antiques and Collectibles," etc.
- When you're shopping, turn the items over. Keep a special watch for the following, as they tend to sell well on eBay right now:
- Name brands
- Signed items
- Goods made in the U.S., Europe, or Japan
- Goods mint in the box, or mint with tags
- Unique, unusual items
- Items that remind you of your childhood
- Items from the Baby Boomer era (c. 1947 to 1969), such as super sleek mod plastic, vases, glassware, etc.
- Things from the 70s or 80s, like yellow smiley faces or rainbows
- When negotiating price, ALWAYS wait for the seller to offer a figure first. It's a very old negotiating technique that still produces wonderful results: Whoever names the price first, loses. Don't get impatient and blurt out a number. Insist they suggest a figure - very often, they'll go even lower than what you would have offered. So hold yourself in check - it will pay off.
Even as your online business grows and you begin using renewable sources, like drop shippers and light-bulk wholesalers, local sourcing can still provide an excellent supplement to your regular product line-up with unique and interesting pieces. Says Dralle, "As you expand, you can combine this style of sourcing with many other methods. Whether you're a beginner, or a seasoned seller looking to add some flavor to your inventory, it's always fun because you never know what you're going to find."

The new header is stunning! I like the Title change, too. (That may because it matches your URL now and I like things that match, so don't read anything into it. :})ReplyDelete
We went to a Vows Renewal ceremony that our friends had for their 40th anniversary. It was nice. I had cake...several pieces. sigh. That was not nice. Tomorrow is my husband's birthday. Hear---> more cake. No sense me even pretending I won't have a piece.
As my previous post title sang, "Oh, Monday, Monday..."
I hope you've had a wonderful Girls' Night In and let's reset for Monday, shall we?

How does the laptop checkout program work at the St Paul branch Libraries?
If you are a currently enrolled CFANS student, you may check out a laptop from the Natural Resources Library or at Magrath Library for up to one week. This laptop lending program is made possible through the use of CFANS Student Technology Fees, and therefore is only accessible to students who have paid the current semester's technology fee to CFANS. For more details, please refer to the CFANS OIT webpage Laptop Checkout.
