When the DJI Mavic Pro came out, I thought that DJI had reached peak perfection with a drone. Boy, was I wrong. The DJI Mavic Air is way better than the DJI Mavic Pro.
The DJI Mavic Air combines the best of both worlds of the Mavic Pro and Spark. It's about the size of a Spark in flight, but folds up like the Mavic Pro to become even smaller. It has the Spark's nifty gesture control, but it also has the Mavic Pro's 4K video.
And best of all, while it's a huge improvement over the Mavic Pro, it's $799 — less than the price the Mavic Pro was when it launched.
The Mavic Air is incredibly small and nimble. It's about 8 inches diagonally across, and it weighs less than a pound. It makes the Mavic Pro look kind of huge — which is surprising given how small the Mavic Pro felt when it was announced.
The DJI Mavic Air can fly for just over 20 minutes on one battery. It comes in three colors — white, red or black. There are also sensor improvements, with a sensor that detects objects on both the front AND back of the drone. That's amazing processing power, given how small this drone is.
DJI also made some improvements to its camera technology with the Mavic Air, including removing the delay in the shutter when it is triggered, and better highlight and lowlight details. The drone also has TapFly and ActiveTrack features, along with improvements such as "TapFly Backward Mode."
The Mavic Air also comes with two big changes to the RC transmitter. The transmitter doesn't have a built-in screen like the Mavic Pro does, alerting you of things like battery life, flight modes, etc. It pretty much guarantees that in order to use the Mavic Air, you'll need to rely on a smartphone app to translate what all the various beeps mean while in flight.
The other major change is that the joysticks on the RC transmitter can actually be removed. At first I was a little surprised by the decision to make the joysticks removable. "Is this REALLY necessary?" I thought. Turns out, it really helps when packing the drone away.
However, those little joysticks can get lost super easily. I've already had one small heart attack over losing them — though the easy solution for forgetful folk is to simply never unscrew them.
That being said, I'll still withhold the title of "perfect" on this drone, because there are some issues I've found in my year of flying the Mavic Pro that still haven't been fixed with the Mavic Air. Namely, the RC transmitter. DJI's drone design is simply flawless, but it seems that care given to the drone itself has been ignored on the RC transmitter. The spot to hold an iPhone just doesn't quite fit perfect. It's clunky to tap the iPhone's home button when the phone is connected to the transmitter. Most phone cases must also be removed to connect them. Maybe Android users are exempt from the RC transmitter issues (I've never used one with a drone!) but the user experience connecting an iPhone to the drone just isn't quite there — and never improved upon with the Mavic Air.
The DJI Mavic Air is the second drone I've ever reviewed that I thought that I've truly, 100% fallen in love with. (The first was the Mavic Pro). It's a drone everyone needs. It's easy to fly, takes gorgeous images and even more portable than the Mavic Pro.
I can't wait for you to get your hands on it. Happy flying!

We have a project running on edge rails that has rspec and rspec-rails 1.1.9 frozen in vendor/gems. To freeze the gems we added two lines of code to environment.rb: config.gem 'rspec-rails', :lib => 'spec/rails', :version => '1.1.9' config.gem 'rspec', :lib => 'spec', :version => '1.1.9' and then ran: rake gems:install rake gems:unpack rake gems:unpack:dependencies rake gems:build The main goal is to freeze all common gems into the project so the production server can simply run 'rake gems:build' and not worry about installing anything. This method of deployment is causing me to receive the following error on my production machine whenever I run rake: rake aborted! no such file to load -- spec/rake/spectask /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require' /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require' /Users/Jacob/git/scratchco_back/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:148:in `require' /Users/Jacob/git/scratchco_back/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:507:in `new_constants_in' /Users/Jacob/git/scratchco_back/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:148:in `require' /Users/Jacob/git/scratchco_back/lib/tasks/rspec.rake:9 ...

Second, there is still one open issue with 1.1.11 gems, which is that if you configure both rspec and rspec-rails gems, in that order (rspec first), you'll have problems with rake tasks. To workaround that you can either configure them in the order you have them (rspec-rails, then rspec), or you can just configure rspec-rails, which has a hard dependency on rspec so rspec will also get installed w/ rake gems:install (unless you're on an older version of rubygems - I forget which one started installing deps by default, but that definitely happens w/ >= 1.2).

With the majority of the east coast of the United States under considerable snow it may seem somewhat silly to be commenting about the dry Arizona weather. However, on Saturday February 14th, Valentines Day, my teammates and I learned why the Phoenix area is called the "Valley of the Sun".
Having done a quick Google Search to learn more about the event, it was little surprise to me why the Valley of the Sun Stage Race got its name, being as it is held in and around the Phoenix Valley area. The nearly 100 mile road race event, which was to be the second stage of the race, took place on the south east side of the "Valley of the Sun" near Casa Grande. The boys and myself (my KHS/Maxxis-JLVelo teammates) had already been treated to two days of Arizona 'dry air' and were not immune to its dehydrating effects.
We set out for six laps on the Casa Grande circuit, right in the middle of the day, with a peloton of 75 or so riders, all with their own plans for glory on what was to be a grueling race course. As our team had anticipated, the race was active early and it did not take long for break-aways to try and establish themselves. Our team had the luxury of a full contingent of eight riders contesting the stage to make sure we were represented in every break-away.
Our plan was centered on gaining a stage win without losing our positions of 2nd (Chris Barton) and 3rd (Fabrizio Von Nacher) in the General Classification. In order to do this were going to have to be aggressive, but also very cunning in order to get our GC riders into a break-away that could unseat the race leader.
My teammates were attentive early and often, with David Santos, Shawn Daurelio, Shawn Wayland, Sergio Escutia, guest rider Ulysses Alfredo, and myself all covering early attacks. The field was relentless with attacks and counter attacks throughout the first lap. The pace was blistering from the moment the motor-official allowed us to start racing, through the climb on the first lap and all the way into the crosswind section of the course that begins the second lap. Just before the crosswind section I followed a move from Heath Blackgrove, a rider who we identified could threaten our GC positions. Almost immediately other riders came across and this attack became a break-away with some potential, swelling to nearly ten riders before my teammate and lead GC rider, Chris Barton, came across. Now with Chris in the move, we were free to put some pressure on the race leader and establish the break-away.
The following sixty miles were a whirlwind of adjustments to our plan as we did not have the luxury of consistent time splits. In fact, we did not receive our first time check to the peloton until nearly 2.5hrs of race time. It was then that we were notified that we had over four minutes to the chasing peloton, it was clear that our move would produce the race winner.
Mr. Barton had already won the first time bonus sprint in the race and we were hoping to get a chance to get him more bonus seconds in the event that the break-away would be caught by the peloton. Almost immediately after the second time bonus sprint the break-away started to split apart from attacks and counter attacks. With only two laps in the race remaining the race dynamic changed and all of a sudden it was every man for himself in the break-away. Chris and I did our best to follow every attack and keep the break-away together for his GC position, as he was the virtual leader on the road. However, when a powerful attack came from Chad Beyer, which was followed by Heath Blackgrove, I knew we had to go. I was able to get on the wheel of Blackgrove before the splintered break-away could organize a chase. My goal was to protect Chris' GC position.
One lap later I had spent a whole lot of time in the gutter fighting for a draft and found myself in a three man group set to sprint out the finish for top road race honors at the Valley of the Sun Stage Race. Did I mention yet, that each of us looked like a salt-lick fit to be a horse treat? It was a warm and dry day on the roads of Casa Grande.
Despite having been in the break-away for over three hours and working throughout the day, my legs (and mind) were ready to fight for the stage win. I knew I had spent energy early, valuable energy that my competitors would hope would increase their chances in the final kilometers of the race.
The three of us were all together with 500 meters to go and it was looking like a three-up sprint was going to settle the days honors. This was mostly true until Chad Beyer got a quick jump on me and went for the finish. I sprinted with all that I had, and found every bit of power possible out of my tired legs, but could only manage to close the gap slightly. I crossed the finish line in second place, a bittersweet result as we had hoped to win the stage. The race had not played out the way we anticipated in our strategy meeting but we had managed to earn valuable bonus sprint time and gain valuable time on the leader.
After a brief congratulations to my two break-away companions, I worked my way back to the finish area where I saw Fabrizio powering to a very solid result. Later I was to find out that he, Ulyssis and Sergio had come together (after various attacks) off the front of the peloton, collected Chris Barton and rode like a four car freight-train to gain him as much time on the peloton as possible. As it was told by some of the riders who they caught, it was an impressive display of team work and power.
Despite losing the stage, this second place finish was a highlight for me personally as my climbing was not up to standard for the first race of the year at Boulevard. My hope is that my fitness continues to grow and the confidence gleaned from this performance will help me and my team achieve more results in the coming weeks as we prepare for our first big targets of the season.
It must be said that this result was made possible by the help of many great people in and sponsors of the KHS/Maxxis-JLVelo team. In particular I would like to thank my wife Joy, our Team Manager Paul, our Team Mechanic/Sponsor/Supporter Gary, all of my very supportive teammates Santos, Daurelio, Fabi, Sergio, Barton, and Wayland, Kate and Linda from JLVelo who 'wo'-maned the feedzone for us as well as my Dad who made special appearance in the feedzone.
On a lighter note, I learned that with my Dad in the feedzone a bidon hand-up can have the force of a football hand-off. Apparently he must have learned to hand-up bottles from one of the offensive coaches on the New England Patriots football team. He made our team feel like we were 'trying-out' for the running-back at spring training! Thanks for the feeds Dad…and the mark on my chest.
I would also like to thank our sponsors who make this program possible: During my race aboard my KHS Bicycle I ate plenty of Kramp Krushers while seated on my Velo saddle, laying down the power through my Shimano drivetrain, transfered to my Maxxis tires from my Xpedo pedals, while enjoying the venting from my Kali Protectives helmet from the comfort of my JLVelo bib shorts and saw the beautiful Valley of the Sun scenery from the clarity of my Serfas sunglasses. And to anyone I forgot, thank you, you are appreciated greatly!
Until next time be safe, ride hard, and have fun,
Thank you to our sponsors: KHS Bicycles, Maxxis Tires, JLVelo, Serfas, Shimano, Velo Saddles, Praxis Works, Xpedo Pedals, Kali Protectives, NDXSports, Bike Religion, Bicycle Blue Book, WD-40 BIKE, Chamois Butt'r, Cycling Illustrated, Rennie & Associates, Kramp Krushers, Ultra Cycle, and Q2.

The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office has put a detention sergeant on administrative leave after he allegedly made threats against co-workers in phone calls to the jail over the weekend, Sheriff Jeff Easter said Friday.
"He threatened violence" against several people, Easter said.
"We took it serious enough to investigate it as a crime."
The detention sergeant is not under arrest; sheriff's investigators planned to present their case to prosecutors Friday, Easter said. He said the sergeant most likely would not be formally charged – if he is charged – until he would appear before a judge, which is normal in such cases.
Easter wouldn't give the sergeant's name but said he is a nine-year veteran assigned to the second shift and had been promoted to sergeant about three years ago.
Easter termed it a possible case of criminal threat, which is a felony crime.
The sheriff said he wanted to emphasize that the sergeant was off-duty at the time of the alleged threats. It appears from the investigation that the sergeant could have been under the influence of alcohol, Easter said.
Easter wouldn't be specific about the nature of the alleged threat but said it did not appear to be related to a work-related dispute, so it "struck us odd as how this occurred." He said no particular employees were named in the threats.
After Easter spoke to reporters Friday morning, his office gave a brief statement, saying: "On Saturday, May 3rd at approximately 5:00 p.m. it is alleged that an off-duty Detention Supervisor called several on-duty Detention employees and made threatening statements. Detention supervision was notified and an investigation was conducted."
The administrative leave is paid leave, Easter said.
Easter said the office has taken security measures.
Easter also said the phone calls were not recorded and that the sergeant didn't attempt to disguise himself.

New Website for Louisville's Bourbon-Certified Chocolatier!
Forest and Kelly Ramsey have an amazing story in becoming the creators of the Small-Batch Bourbon Truffle™. Their original recipes combine the flavor of chocolate and bourbon in ways that will make your taste buds applaud! Each truffle is graced with an artisan B.I.T. that helps you identify the bourbon infused inside. They provide an impressive variety of bourbons, from Kentucky and beyond to satisfy every craving. Importantly, their work in the craft chocolate market has been recognized by distillers and the bourbon community at large. This is evidenced by their amazing selection of premium bourbon-infused truffles.
Hatfield Media was tasked with designing a website as smooth as their chocolates. We can tell you from first-hand research that it is very challenging to communicate to an online audience just how stellar their product tastes. It is unlike any other chocolatier local or otherwise.
As an agency proudly established in Kentucky, we love the opportunity to showcase the homegrown products our neighbors are creating. Art Eatables is one appealing example as a bourbon-centered chocolatier and confectioner using Kentucky's endemic refreshment as the heart of their gourmet treats.
Our goal in redesigning the business website was to highlight the delicate, hand-crafted precision that goes into each one of their bourbon-infused candies while featuring the unique qualities that promote the company as both a hometown favorite as well as an expert provider to the masses.
Continuing with a background of warm, rich colors, we added vivid photos demonstrating the company's commitment to quality goods and exceptional presentation. Straightforward and inviting navigation was implemented in order to provide easy opportunities for visitors to explore, learn and purchase. Each element fits into a visual design that is both modern and elegant.
Further, the online store was updated to eliminate unnecessary searching and scrolling, featuring upfront, clean and itemized product listings- each containing comprehensive details. This allows for an enjoyable online shopping experience and easy purchasing process with just a few simple clicks.
Final Results
The final website produced is a fully-responsive e-commerce store which remains flexible for a variety of shipping options, seasonal changes, and is performing outstandingly in terms of search engine optimization. Each truffle is displayed in a grid setting, making it easy for the customer to see what they're getting. Hundreds of options are easily sortable through a filter specifying type of spirit and chocolate. Their non-alcoholic options are also too good to pass up! Once you bag your bourbon truffles and caramels, the easy checkout system will lead you to having chocolate on your doorstep in no time.

Learn how Live Preview works in PowerPoint 2013.
Author: Geetesh Bajaj
Product/Version: Microsoft PowerPoint 2013
OS: Windows 7 and 8
Editing slide objects works almost the same way, irrespective of what you are actually editing -- you select the object you want to edit and change some attributes -- you then get to see what your changes have caused -- and then you either undo your changes (if you are not too happy with them) or just accept them and start working with another object. What if you could see/preview how an actual change will look on the slide object before you decide to accept or decline that change? PowerPoint 2013's Live Preview allows you to do just that -- this feature was first introduced in PowerPoint 2007, and continues being available in newer versions. Additionally, PowerPoint 2013 now also includes the Live Preview option for Chart Styles as well.
Since Live Preview is more of an interactive option than an interface element, it's not part of the visible PowerPoint 2013 interface -- this option only gets active within some of the options such as Themes, Fonts, Quick Styles, etc. Follow these steps to use Live Preview:
While the Live Preview feature works great most of the time, some older computers may not have the processing power required to show Live Previews in real time -- this might lead to sluggish performance. Fortunately, you can easily disable Live Preview by following these steps:

U.S. and Arab sources confirm to Fox News that the Obama administration will make an announcement Wednesday night that it is cutting some of its aid to the Egyptian interim government.
Calls to key parties -- including the Egyptians themselves, Arab governments with whom the U.S. is allied, and select lawmakers on Capitol Hill -- are now underway.
One of the Arab leaders on one of those calls -- placed to him by National Security Adviser Susan Rice -- privately expressed disgust with the decision, telling confidantes afterward that is the third bad foreign policy decision by President Obama in a row. The others cited were the decision not to enforce his own "red line" with respect to the Assad regime's chemical weapons use; and the decision to launch direct talks with the Iranian president without first consulting pro-western Arab governments.
State Department officials have signaled already that not all U.S. aid to Egypt will be cut.
"Picking up and leaving town and walking away from this relationship wouldn't be good for the Egyptian people," spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters on Wednesday. "It wouldn't allow us to help in the way we think we can -- move Egypt towards a more democratic place."
Harf's comments strongly suggested that aid that helps advance core U.S. security objectives in the region will be spared the cuts.
"It's certainly on our shared security interest when we talk about counterterrorism, we talk about the Sinai, we talk about other shared security interests," she said. "It wouldn't help achieve those goals, either."

shed in Hope, Arkansas
in 1946 when Paul W.

madman and maverick,
designed and hand built
the legendary Klipschorn
speaker to enable
people, for the first
time ever, to experience
the power, detail and

As the only speaker
in the world to be in

for over 70 years, the
Klipschorn has remained
relatively unchanged
since its inception.
Remember great sound? We
do, too. The Klipschorn
is still made in the
USA, by proud craftsmen
in Hope, Arkansas. Just
like Paul W. Klipsch
(PWK) intended.
Klipschorn has truly
stood the test of time.
Its patented low-

unique design which uses
the floor and walls of

available to the
consumer market which is
designed to operate in a

Get Rich Slowly — recently named most inspiring money blog by Money magazine — is devoted to sensible personal finance.
You will not find any get-rich-quick schemes here. Nor will you find multi-level marketing fads or hot stock tips. I am not pitching any product or book. Instead, you'll find daily information about personal finance and related topics.
I share stories about debt elimination, saving money, and practical investing. I also post occasional reviews of books, magazines, and software. And, of course, I scour the web for the latest personal finance tools and articles.
Please note that I am not a financial professional. I'm just an average guy who found himself deep in debt. When it finally became too overwhelming, I began reading personal finance books, hoping to find answers. I wanted swift solutions to my problems. My research revealed that few people get rich quickly, but almost anyone can get rich slowly by patiently following some simple rules.
Since April 2006, I've been sharing what I learn with thousands of daily readers. By following my own advice, I've managed to ditch my debt and actually begin saving. I really am getting rich slowly. Along the way, I've developed twelve key beliefs that form the core of the Get Rich Slowly philosophy:
- Money is more about mind than it is about math.
- When we overspend, we're making mental mistakes, not math mistakes. We all understand the math. Fortunately, we can do things to trick ourselves into making the right choices, and eventually those choices will become second nature. Further reading: Why smart people make big money mistakes (and how to correct them).
- Goals are important.
- Without financial goals, you have no direction, which makes it easy to spend money on things you'll regret later. But if you know that you're saving for a house, for your daughter's college education, or for a new car, your goal will keep you focused. Further reading: The road to wealth is paved with goals.
- Spend less than you earn.
- Track every penny you spend. Avoid debt. Avoid debt. Avoid debt. Easier said than done, I know, but the fundamental rule of personal finance is this: in order to get out of debt and build wealth, you must spend less than you earn. There's no way around it. Further reading: How to get out of debt.
- Pay yourself first.
- Before you pay your bills, before you buy groceries, before you do anything else, set aside some percentage of your income to save. Start small if you have to — even 1% is good — and increase your savings as you're able. Aim to reach 20%. (My wife saves 25% of her paycheck!) Further reading: Which online high-yield savings account is best?
- Small amounts matter.
- Don't be frustrated if you're only saving $25 per month. I started small, too. Though the going seemed slow at first, these small moves helped me develop good habits. And don't underestimate the power of just one small change. When I cut my cable bill from $65/month to $15/month, that extra $50 made a huge difference. Further reading: The magic of thinking small.
- Large amounts matter, too.
- It's good to clip coupons to save money on groceries, but it's even better to shop around for the best deal on a mortgage. Everyday frugality can save you a little money consistently, but by making smart choices on big ticket items, you can save thousands of dollars in one blow. Further reading: Want to save? Give up the big things!
- Do what works for you.
- Each person is different. What works for one person may not work for another. There's no one right way to save or to invest or to pay off debt or to buy a house. Don't believe anyone who says there is. Be willing to experiment until you find methods that are suited to your life. Further reading: 8 ways to take control of your finances in 2008.
- Slow and steady wins the race.
- The most successful people are those who work longest and hardest at something they love to do. Find ways to make frugality fun. Recognize that you're in this for the long haul. You're making a lifestyle change, not looking for a quick fix. Further reading: How and why to start an emergency fund.
- The perfect is the enemy of the good.
- Too many people are reluctant to start getting their finances in order because they don't know what the best first step is. Don't worry about getting things exactly right. Choose a good option and do something. Optimize later. Further reading: The perfect is the enemy of the good.
- Failure is okay.
- It's okay to make mistakes. Even billionaires like Warren Buffett make mistakes. We learn from failure. Don't let a single mistake drag you down. It's better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all. Use failure to learn how to do better next time. Further reading: How good habits keep small mistakes manageable.
- It's more important to be happy than it is to be rich.
- Don't become obsessed with money and wealth. Remember Ebeneezer Scooge! Money gives you more options, but happiness makes life worth living. I believe that if we're able to stay happy and in control of our lives, money actually becomes easier to manage. Further reading: What's the reason for saving and investing?
- Do it now.
- It's easy to put things off. But the sooner you start moving toward your goals, the easier they are too reach. Further reading: Getting to now: Beating the procrastination habit.
These are the basic tenets of my philosophy. These are the ideas that lurk behind every article I post. Please remember that everything you read here is my own informed opinion. Never believe everything you read, and always form your own conclusions.

This weblog is a success because of support from readers like you. The Get Rich Slowly community is awesome, always willing to discuss money-saving and money-making ideas. I feature reader stories and tips almost daily. If you have any comments or requests to improve this site, please feel free to pass them on. (Also note there's a personal finance forum where like-minded people can exchange ideas.)
Welcome! Enjoy your personal quest toward financial independence.

Laurelhurst Winter Bazaar December 4, 2016 in Portland Oregon
The Laurelhurst Winter Bazaar is being held this year on Sunday, December 4th from 9am to 4pm. Panda With Cookie is super excited to be back for our second year. The bazaar takes place at the Laurelhurst School located at 840 NE 41st Avenue in Portland, Oregon.

There are few pleasures in this hobby greater than settling down with a new issue of Journey Into Mystery. Kieron Gillen kicks off his second full arc on the series as the mortal and godly worlds both continue to pick up the pieces of Fear Itself. As always, the juxtaposition of high fantasy and goofy humor is a recipe for delightful reading.
As far as the fantasy aspect goes, Gillen brings together a council of Fear Lords to ruminate on life after the Serpent, while simultaneously setting the stage for a larger conflict involving Nightmare. Gillen also brings Daimon Hellstrom into the series for what should be a fun pairing with Loki.
All of this is supremely well-written, but the real joys are in the smaller and more humorous moments. Whether it's Loki exposing Leah to the joys of milkshakes, revealing his own love for pirating movies online, or Leah beating up on the residents of Broxton, the series continues to spice up its conflicts with ample amounts of laughter.
Rich Elson returns in this issue. This is easily his best collaboration with Gillen yet. His lines are cleaner and more precise than ever. The series also finally addresses one of its few actual flaws by offering an effective, restrained set of colors that enhance the art rather than obscure it.
This series hasn't slowed one bit with the end of Fear Itself, and there's no reason to assume it will. Loki commands you to buy this issue, whether through a fine purveyor of printed pamphlets or by transferring it to your Pad of i.

We are living through a moral revolution. Sexual abuse by those in power -- a topic that has long been kept under wraps -- is no longer easily covered up. The ethics of speech around abuse have changed, and they are shifting how we think about gossip, privacy and truth-telling.
In just the last month, two articles regarding sexual abuse were reported in the front pages of The New York Times: one about the prestigious Horace Mann private school in the Bronx and the other about Ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities in Brooklyn. While these cases are different in many ways, both articles delineated how a culture of silence developed in the face of complaints and how a concern for privacy and protection from malicious gossip in these close-knit communities were used to cover up abuses, whether through legal or religious means. If we are to truly revolutionize our approach to the reporting of sexual abuse -- and we must -- we need to seriously consider our ethics of speech.
"You can destroy a person's life with a false report," said one authority figure quoted in the Times piece. Indeed, the need to be careful with our speech has never been more important. We live in an age in which our personal information has become a commodity in the public online square. While there is a lot of public conversation about the need for corporations to be careful with our information, how careful are we with details of other people's lives -- family, friends, colleagues and others?
On the other hand, the aspiration to create a gossip-free discourse must not be used as a cover for greater evils. Reporting abuse is not gossip. How to walk the fine line of proper speech and ethical responsibility has been a source of debate within Jewish texts and communities for centuries and merits revisiting, particularly in this age of social media and instant global reach.
Jewish texts have developed a rigorous discourse about the dangers of "evil speech" -- lashon ha'ra. This week's Torah portion, Sh'lach (Numbers 13:1-15:41), tells of the 12 spies Moses sends to scout out the land of Israel. Upon their return, they bring back a disheartening report to the Israelites about their ability to conquer the land. The people revolt and are consigned to wander for 40 years in the desert as a punishment for their disloyalty to God.
Somewhat surprisingly, our rabbinic sages arrive at the following conclusion from this painful biblical episode: "One who speaks with their mouth is more detrimental than one who does a deed; for we have found that our ancestors were only decreed to wander in the desert for 40 years because of the act of malicious speech" (Mishnah Arakhin 3:5).
Malicious speech is defined by the rabbis as different from slander: while slander is false, malicious speech is the truth -- but the truth spoken out of context, designed for no purpose other than to cause harm to its subject. Proverbs claims that "Death and life are in the hand of the tongue" (18:21), and the Talmud adds: "Talk about a third person kills three people: the one who speaks, the one who accepts it, and the one about whom it is spoken" (Tractate Arakhin 15b-16B).
What a community we would be if we all avoided speaking maliciously of other people, in person or on our screens, and navigated the vast sea of information now available to us with a desire to avoid "accepting" gossip.
However, we must not let our desire for positive speech to cause us to conceal important truths. An ethics of speech must also include directives about when to speak up, not just when to stay silent.
This past year people in the highest echelons of society have been identified as sexual predators, from a trusted college football coach to international political leaders, despite extensive cover-ups. Attempts to dismiss or suppress legitimate reports of abuse are particularly shameful in religious contexts, be they in the Catholic Church, in New Age spiritual communities, or in Jewish schools or synagogues. While these acts happen in all sectors of society, when "people of faith" protect predators, preventing the truth from being uncovered and justice served, they are aligning Divinity with their world of lies, desecrating God's name in the process.
Throughout the generations, voices from within Jewish tradition have had the courage to set the record straight, not allowing the ideal of avoiding gossip to become a fig leaf for silencing painful truths. Whenever I am in doubt, the words written by Rabbi Yisrael Isser of Vilna in 1875, ring in my ears:
All of the books of Ethics make an uproar about the prohibition of gossip. I want to make an uproar about the opposite form of behavior -- one that is a far greater wrong and that is also much more widespread -- the withholding of information when it is necessary to communicate it in order to save a victim from his oppressor. This is like a person who sees a stalker about to attack his friend - will he not cry out to inform his friend about the potential attacker? Would this [his warning of his friend] not be a fulfillment of the commandment, "Do not stand idly by the blood of your fellow" (Leviticus 19)?
Now where shall we set the boundary and the limit, to say "up to this point speak, but no more"? It is an issue given to the heart of each person to discern. If they are speaking out of maliciousness about the person being discussed it is "evil speech", but if they are speaking for the benefit of the other person, to save and protect the individual, it is a great mitsvah, a righteous deed [Pitchei Teshuvah OH: 156].
It is easy to doubt our ability to speak out effectively against abuse and other wrongdoings and easy to be cynical about our ability to change our own speech practices. The aforementioned slanderous spies also underestimated their power to change reality: "We were in our own eyes like grasshoppers" (Numbers 13:33) they said upon returning from their scouting mission. In so doing, they not only weakened the resolve of the people of Israel, but also slandered against themselves.
We must strive to create a healthy culture of speech, one in which we seek to curb gossip and to speak out when abusive behavior is apparent. In contrast to the band of doubting spies stands the figure of Caleb, the spy who did not engage in malicious speech but rather said, "Let us go up, yes, up and possess it, for we can prevail, yes, prevail against it" (Numbers 13:30)! Similarly, we have the spiritual and ethical resources to create a culture of honest and judicious speech, guarding against gossip yet speaking truth to power.

Islanders, Nabokov keep favored Penguins reeling
PITTSBURGH -- Jack Capuano knew what his New York Islanders were up against.
The Sports Xchange
By John Perrotto, The Sports Xchange
Islanders, Nabokov keep favored Penguins reeling
PITTSBURGH -- Jack Capuano knew what his New York Islanders were up against.
The coach watched his team blow two-goal leads in each of their previous two games. Furthermore, they were playing in a city where their visits have been almost always fruitless in recent years.
Yet the Islanders got a rare win in Pittsburgh on Tuesday night, and there was no doubt about the identity of the better team. New York rode Evgeni Nabokov's 37 saves and goals from four different players to a 4-1 victory over the Penguins at Consol Energy Center.
"I don't think too many would have given us a chance in this one," Capuano said.
Probably not. The Penguins had won 14 of their previous 15 home games against the Islanders.
However, Matt Moulson had a goal and an assist for the Islanders, and Casey Cizikas, Michael Grabner and John Taveras also scored for the Islanders (3-2-1). Frans Nielsen had two assists.
Nabokov came within 1:09 of the 52nd shutout of his 12-year career before Pascal Dupuis scored his second goal of the season.
"It was a really good team win for us," Capuano said. "We played well defensively, offensive and Nabby was outstanding. That's the way you have to play if you want to come out of here with a win."
New York was coming off a particularly difficult loss two nights earlier in Winnipeg. The Islanders blew a two-goal lead late in the third period then lost overtime.
"The past few years we've gotten off to really good starts and then hit a lull and it's been hard to recover from that," said Taveras, whose Islanders have not been to the Stanley Cup playoffs in six years. "That's why this is a really good win for us. This is something we should be able to build momentum from. It feels good to walk out of this building with a win."
The announced crowd of 18,657 was the largest in Consol Energy Center's three-year history, but the home fans began booing midway through the second period. The jeers continued throughout much of the third as Pittsburgh, considered strong Stanley Cup favorites coming into the season, fell to 3-3 overall, 0-2 at home.
The Penguins failed to convert three power-play opportunities in the first period as they fell behind 1-0 and coach Dan Bylsma cited that as the game's turning point.
"We did not have good puck movement, we did not have good execution and it was that was the rest of the night" Bylsma said. "We seemed to lose our enthusiasm after that."
Cizikas opened the scoring at 16:01 of the first period when he corralled a loose puck behind the net then beat Marc Andre-Fleury to the glove side with a wraparound goal. It was Cizikas' first goal of the season.
The Islanders then broke things open with a three-goal second period.
Grabner scored his fourth goal on a breakaway at 6:46, knocking his snap shot off Fleury's glove and into the net.
The Islanders cashed in on two power plays late in the period to increase the lead to 4-0. Taveras scored on a snap shot from the right faceoff circle on a pretty cross-ice pass from Moulson at 15:22 and Moulson then scored 1:53 later on a wrister off a backhanded pass from Brad Boyes, who was at the left side of the net to haul in a rebound off the glass behind the goal.
Fleury was lifted after the second period, having allowed four goals on 17 shots. He was replaced by Tomas Vokoun, who stopped all seven shots he faces in the third period.
The Islanders killed a five-minute power play early in the third period that resulted from Colin McDonald receiving a major boarding penalty. McDonald also drew a game misconduct.
"When you play a team that has the skill and talent of the Penguins you know you're going to play in your own zone quite a bit," Islanders center Marty Reasoner said. "We did a good job of filling the passing lanes and shooting lanes. We wanted to force them out onto the perimeter as much as possible."

After months – no years – of waiting, Mario Draghi finally announced the European Central Bank is pushing the button on quantitative easing.
It comes roughly six years after the US and the UK embarked on their own versions of QE, and more than two-and-a-half years after Draghi vowed to do "whatever it takes" to save the euro.
Here is a quick summary of what we learned:
- The programme will involve purchases of €60bn a month, split between private and public sector assets
- Purchases will run from March to the end of September 2016, totalling €1.1tn
- There is however some ambiguity on the timing of the end of the scheme, given Draghi also said purchases would be "conducted until we see a sustained adjustment in the path of inflation which is consistent with our aim of achieving inflation rates below, but close to, 2% over the medium term"
- The governing council's decision to start QE now was not unanimous
- The ECB won't buy more than 25% of each issue of government debt, and not more than 33% of each issuers debt
- In a concession to Germany (long opponents of eurozone QE), Draghi promised that national central banks would bear most of the risk of their governments defaulting, with just 20% of the new bond-purchases subject to "risk-sharing".
- The ECB has not ruled out buying Greek bonds, but said certain (unspecified) criteria would have to be met
- Draghi said QE would not be enough in itself to revive the eurozone economy – structural reforms at country level are also essential
- Markets have broadly welcomed the announcement
via European Central Bank announces €60bn a month of quantitative easing – live | Business | The Guardian.
First reactions: 1 EUR=1.14 USD, German 2-year notes have a negative (-0.18%) yield, markets up reasonably, volatility spiked, gold up over $1300.
Methinks it's a good thing for Europe, albeit way too late. But this is the right path (apart from the radical solution of abandoning the euro). Coupled with growth policies at the European and national level (such as more infrastructure spending in Germany, more structural reforms in places like France and Italy and Cyprus) and less austerity it may even have a chance to keep the Euro alive and kicking into the next decade. However I wouldn't bet on it. So go USD!

Kristen Stewart Lets Her Hair Fly High
Kristen Stewart hair bounces high in the air as she strolls through the 2010 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on Sunday afternoon (January 24).
The 19-year-old actress and costar Dakota Fanning caught up with Access Hollywood before the screening of The Runaways about how it was playing such iconic rockers.
Kristen shared, "Especially after meeting them, because they [Cherie Currie and Joan Jett] instantly took us in and told us, 'Come get to know us.' They weren't judgmental at all."
Dakota added, "I liked playing someone who was actually 15. (laughs)"

Yes, I'm on a roll. I want to make the best use of however little time I have left in cyberspace before returning the modem later. Besides, we'll be paying for the month of June as well. Didn't know we had to give a 1 month notice. Darn.
Anyway, realized I've never taken any photos with my friends here. So I made sure I brought the camera while making the rounds and bidding final goodbyes.
Salim & Rose from Malaysia used to be the owners/chef of the restaurant we frequented. After it closed down, we remained as friends.
Lissette, my classmate from Ecuador. This capable young lady has started a business of making and selling jewellery from her hometown with her sister.
Also my classmates, Tze Hua and Ramphai come from Taiwan and Thailand. All of us can speak English but we're always trying to converse in German which probably sounds painful to the ears of the locals.
With the ah laos…
With the most important man in Mr. Tan's life here and his family. Although they only came a few months ago, but we get along quite well.
Lilia from Philippines. She's been here for more than twenty years, is the walking Wikipedia of Switzerland, and also a very nice person to talk to.
Raquel from Brasil. She was pregnant with twins but one of them couldn't make it. Really sad, but she's a blissful mother now to newborn Cedric.
From left to right: Angie, Eng Cheng, moi, Taiwanese lady boss of the restaurant Ya Ke, Errna, Minh and Ying Cong, my good friend from Malaysia who introduced me to all of the rest (who are mostly Malaysians), and also organized this farewell party for us
The guys. From left to right: Bobbi, David, Andreas, Mr. Tan, Daniel
Alle zusammen
Taiwanese boss and wife of the restaurant - the most hospitable restaurants owners we've ever met. I've patronized them since I first came and when they had their small takeaway opposite my school. That has closed down and they've just newly opened this restaurant.
Radiah, one of the very few Singaporeans I know (and would like to know), who actually lives in the next town in our ulu ulu area.
The ah laos again…
In one of the few restaurants, Kormasutra in our ulu ulu area

Rene d'Harnoncourt
René d'Harnoncourt (May 17, 1901 – August 13, 1968) was an American art curator. He was Director of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, from 1949 to 1967.[1]
Of Austrian, Czech, and French descent, Count Rene d'Harnoncourt was born in Vienna, the son of Count Hubert d'Harnoncourt and his wife, the former Julie Mittrowsky. Although he showed an interest in art as a child, he received a technical education. After his family suffered severe financial losses, he moved to Paris in 1924, and went to Mexico in 1926. D'Harnoncourt initially eked out a minimal living as a commercial artist, but quickly acquired a reputation for his knowledgeable advice to American antique collectors.
In 1927, d'Harnoncourt went to work for Frederick W. Davis, who operated one of the most important antiquities and folk art shops in Mexico City. Davis was among the first to collect, display and sell the work of the emerging Mexican artists such as Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and Rufino Tamayo; others who frequented the shop included Miguel Covarrubias and Jean Charlot. D'Harnoncourt assisted in buying and selling antiques and contemporary works and also organized displays and exhibits in the showroom.
In 1929-30 d'Harnoncourt organized an exhibit of Mexican fine and applied arts that was shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and then traveled to other American cities. D'Harnoncourt left Davis's shop in 1933 and moved to the United States. That year, he married Sarah Carr (1903-2001) and became host of the radio program Art in America. Among many others, Margaret Lefranc was a guest speaker several times during 1934-1935, educating listeners on American and European art. He briefly taught at Sarah Lawrence College. In 1936, d'Harnoncourt became the general manager of the Indian Arts and Crafts Board (IACB), a New Deal agency created to revive Native American arts and crafts. To promote Native American craftwork, d'Harnoncourt, along with Frederic Huntington Douglas, developed an exhibit of Native American arts and crafts for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco. Its success led to an even larger show at New York's Museum of Modern Art, the influential Indian Art of the United States exhibition that opened in January 1941.
D'Harnoncourt was appointed to the Museum of Modern Art in 1944; he proved to be an expert exhibit installer and notable collector. In 1949 he was appointed Director of the Museum, a position he would hold until 1967. He was responsible for a series of significant exhibitions over the course of his tenure as Director, including Lipchitz (1954), Rodin (1963), and Picasso (1967). D'Harnoncourt was also an advisor to Nelson Rockefeller. He was a tireless advocate of modern art.
D'Harnoncourt retired from the position of Director in 1967. He was killed on Long Island by a drunk driver roughly a year later.
D'Harnoncourt's only child, Anne Julie d'Harnoncourt (1943-2008), served as Director and eventually CEO of the Philadelphia Museum of Art from 1982 until her death.

Photography I, Photography II, and Adobe Photoshop CC courses may be taken individually or linked together for completion of the Photography Certificate.
Participants earning a UWG Continuing Education Photography Certification will be able to maximize the use of their digital cameras and Photoshop software in order to produce a "professional" grade photograph suitable for use in brochures, publications and personal display.
The editing software was changed from Adobe Photoshop CS6 to Adobe Photoshop CC in Fall 2016 due to UWG licensing.
Fall 2018 | UWG Carrollton
Photography I - Class in Session
Photography II
Adobe Photoshop CC
Photography I: Getting the Most from your DSLR
The Photography I course explores the myriad of functions available in today's popular DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) cameras and how they relate to great picture-taking. Exposure modes, white balance, shutter speeds, and f/stops will be among the many topics covered. Participants should bring their camera and owner's manual to the first class.
Participants should bring their camera and owner's manual to the first class. The class will meet from 6:30-9:00pm on Tuesdays evenings and on a Saturday, for a two-hour shooting workshop. The instructor and class will determine the time and location for the Saturday workshop/fieldwork. Participants will share their images and participate in a class discussion to improve learned techniques at the final session.
Photography II: From Idea to Image
The Photography II course is designed to build upon the basics of your DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) learned in Photography I. It will give you a more in-depth understanding of exposure and will cover image composition, subject matter, and - most importantly - lighting. Class assignments will be given to help you learn to "see" unique photographic opportunities out of the seemingly ordinary.
Participants should bring their camera and owner's manual to the first class. The class will meet from 6:30-9:00pm on Tuesday evenings and on a Saturday, for a two-hour shooting workshop/fieldwork. The instructor and class will determine the time and location for the Saturday workshop. Participants will share their images and participate in a class discussion to improve learned techniques at the final session.
Adobe Photoshop CC
Adobe Photoshop CC software, the professional image-editing standard and leader of the PhotoShop digital imaging line, delivers more of what you crave. Groundbreaking creative tools help you achieve extraordinary results. Unprecedented adaptability lets you custom-fit Photoshop to the way you work. And, with more efficient editing, processing, and file handling, there's no slowing you down. This course will provide a general overview of Adobe Photoshop CC. It is designed for participants that are beginners and have not used the program extensively prior to the course.
This is will be a hands-on course and the pace is expected to be slow. Each of the topics covered will include at least one example image provided by the instructor with which the participants will work. Each student will be provided with a CD containing images that they will work with during the course. Students will become familiar with the general layout of the workspace, learn to use layers, conduct an overview of tools, participate in class projects and learn about the output of work/images.
About the Instructor:
Photography is an art form like no other. It captures a particular moment and freezes reality for one precious second. For Steven Broome, photography has been his life's joy since he got his first camera in the fourth grade. As part of the UCM family, Steven channels his passion into creating stories and memories through photography and other visual technology. Steven has been part of the University of West Georgia family for more than two decades, having received his bachelor's and master's degrees from the university and joining the staff in 1989.

Cat TaleBook - 2012
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Quite easily one of the best and smartest picture books I've ever read. Great rhymes, clever word play, really cute illustrations. Winner on all fronts.
A clever and enjoyable book that makes learning abour homonyms fun!
With the rise of interest in the Core Curriculum, folks need to remember that teaching homonyms doesn't have to be rote and dull as dishwater. It can involve naughty gnus and rocked squashberries! A visual feast and too clever by half, Hall's latest begs to be read aloud and pored over. A little book that deserves all the attention it can receive. Teachers, parents, librarians, and booksellers, take note.
AgeAdd Age Suitability
SummaryAdd a Summary
Meet Lillian, Tilly and William J. Three little cats that are out for a day. In rhyming verse we watch as at first their adventures are small. "They pack some books and kitty chews. They chose a spot. They spot some ewes." As the book continues they cats become more adventuresome. "They train a duck to duck a shoe. They shoo a truly naughty gnu." Yet the words begin to get tangled and the cats are in a state. Should they use a rock to squash a berry or use a squash to bury a rock or (after a pause) use their paws to rock a squashberry? Finally everything gets too crazy and the cats find their way out thanks to their tails/tales.

Frequently Asked Questions
Click on any of the links below for detailed information.
Propane Gas
Is propane really convenient to use and store?
Yes. Propane tanks are environmentally friendly, require little maintenance, and can last indefinitely. Propane's portability makes it a convenient fuel for grilling, camping, and various uses.
Is propane gas clean and efficient?
Yes. Propane has long been recognized as the "green" energy. By using propane, homeowners can help cut emissions and protect the environment, and burns hotter and more evenly than many other fuels. In addition, propane equipment and appliances have a shorter energy savings payback period.
Will my propane fueled equipment require routine service?
Yes. All propane fueled equipment needs to have an annual maintenance and safety check. We recommend that you schedule service during the summer, when demand on your system is likely to be minimal.
Is propane safe for my family?
Yes. Propane is used safely by millions of Americans — and stored, handled, and transported by thousands of professionals every day. That safety comes from a combination of stringent codes and regulations and our industry's extensive training and safety awareness programs.
How can I recognize a propane leak in my home?
Propane has a strong, unpleasant smell, like rotten eggs or skunk's spray. Propane manufacturers add the smell intentionally to help alert customers should a leak occur.
You can request additional information or ademonstration to help everyone in your home or building identify leaks.
What should I do if my pilot light goes out?
Give our office a call so we can have a trained propane service technician evaluate the appliance and relight the pilot light. A pilot light that repeatedly goes out — or is difficult to light — may be signaling that there is a more serious problem with the appliance or system.
Are there alternatives to having a propane tank in my yard?
Yes. Underground storage tanks are a popular option. These large tanks can be buried underground because propane is non-toxic fuel and doesn't contaminate water or soil.
If I use propane as my primary energy source, what size storage tank do I need?
Generally, a 500-gallon tank can hold enough propane to meet the annual energy needs of an average four-bedroom home. Tanks of 1,000 gallons or more may be needed for large homes with swimming pools and hot tubs.
How do I read the gauge on my propane tank?
Most tanks of 47 gallon capacity or higher have a gauge. If your tank does have a gauge it will be located on the top of the tank, under the lift able hood. The tank gauge reads in percentages from 0% to 100% with 85% being full to allow for gas expansion.
For fireplace use, how long with propane last in my tank?
The size of the fireplace and the number of hours you use it every day will dictate the overall usage.
Fuel Oil
Is fuel oil heat economical?
Yes, today's oil fueled-heating systems are incredibly more efficient than ever before.
Is fuel oil heat safe?
Fuel oil will not support combustion (flame) unless the temperature is about 140 degrees Fahrenheit. There are not enough fuel vapors to cause an explosion or fire.
Why should I heat my house with fuel oil?
Today's oil fueled-heating systems are clean burning and produce very minimal amounts of smoke and soot, and can exceed a 90% or more efficiency ratings.
Is it true that I will save money by switching from fuel oil to natural gas?
No. In most cases the cost of getting the line to your home, the upgrade or replacement of your equipment and the loss of BTU's with natural gas can exceed $10,000.
Is it true my annual savings on fuel oil gallons consumed could be reduced by as much 25% by upgrading to new efficient equipment?
Yes. If your equipment is 20 years old or more, by upgrading to new efficient equipment you can reduce the gallons purchased by up to 25%.
Air Conditioning
How is air conditioning typically sized to meet the cooling needs for a home?
Your comfort while using air conditioning depends both on reducing air temperature and removing humidity. An air conditioner should ideally run for 20 minutes or more on each cycle to cool the indoor air and to reduce humidity.
How does insulation affect my cooling needs?
A poorly shaded home with little insulation and lots of air leaks might need a ton of air conditioning for every 400 square feet of floor area. Well insulated and well-shaded homes with few air leaks might only need one ton per 1000 square feet.
How long should my air conditioner last?
A modern, well-maintained air conditioner has the potential to last upwards of twenty-five years. While at the same time, a poorly or non-maintained air conditioner will probably only last around ten.
What does SEER mean?
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating, calculated by dividing the typical cooling output of an average season by the total energy input during the same time.
SEER ratings with a higher rating equates to being more efficient system.
What does EER mean?
Energy Efficiency Ratio of a cooling system, indicates how effectively the air conditioner will operate at a specific temperature (usually at 95 degrees). The higher the rating, the more efficient the system.
What is a BTU?
BTU stands for British Thermal Unit. It equates to the amount of heat and energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit
What efficiency should my air conditioner be?
A lower SEER models will actually end up costing you more.
Service Information
Do you offer service contracts?
Yes. Contact our office for details and to discuss the options best suited for your needs,
or visit our Service Plan page .
How often should my heating system be serviced?
We highly recommended that heating systems be serviced annually to ensure efficiency and reliability.
Can I troubleshoot my furnace before calling for a technician?
Yes. If your burner does not run follow the suggestions below.
- Check the thermostat to be sure it's set in "heat mode". The temperature might be set too low. Turn the thermostat five degrees higher than usual.
- Check the emergency switch to be sure it is on.
- Check the main switch and make sure it is not turned off.
- Check to see if the circuit breaker or fuse is blown.
- Unit might be off on safety. Press the reset button ONE time – make sure you have oil in your tank.
What should be done if my chimney smokes?
A cold chimney flue can cause this when the unit first fires; however, if it persists this can indicate a problem. Do not attempt to troubleshoot or fix on your own. Call for a Service Technician to come to your home.
Carbon Monoxide Information
Can my heating system produce carbon monoxide?
Yes. When there is a lack of oxygen to ensure complete combustion of the fuel, each atom of carbon links up with only one atom of oxygen, forming carbon monoxide (CO) gas, a colorless, odorless and toxic gas. Any fuel-burning appliance that is not adequately vented and maintained can be a potential source of carbon monoxide (CO).
What do I do if my carbon monoxide alarm sounds?
Contact your local fire department and evacuate your home. The most important safeguard against CO risks is a properly working carbon monoxide detector. Carbon Monoxide Alarm batteries should be changed two times annually. A good rule of thumb is to when we change the clocks (forward and back).
