Auditing is the on-site verification activity, such as inspection or examination, of a process or quality system , to ensure compliance to requirements. An audit can apply to an entire organization or might be specific to a function, process, or production step. Find more information in the video, The How and Why of Auditing .
As defined in
michael jordan plane n236mj aircraft
, an audit is a "systematic, independent and documented process for obtaining audit evidence [records, statements of fact or other information which are relevant and verifiable] and evaluating it objectively to determine the extent to which the audit criteria [set of policies, procedures or requirements] are fulfilled." Several audit methods may be employed to achieve the audit purpose.
There are three discrete types of audits: product (which includes services), process, and system. However, other methods, such as a desk or document review audit, may be employed independently or in support of the three general types of audits.
Some audits are named according to their purpose or scope. The scope of a department or function audit is a particular department or function. The purpose of a management audit relates to management interests such as assessment of area performance or efficiency.
An audit may also be classified as internal or external, depending on the interrelationships among participants. Internal audits are performed by employees of your organization. External audits are performed by an outside agent. Internal audits are often referred to as first-party audits, while external audits can be either second-party, or third-party.

An auditor may specialize in types of audits based on the audit purpose, such as to verify compliance, conformance, or performance. Some audits have special administrative purposes such as auditing documents, risk, or performance or following up on completed corrective actions.
A query is idempotent if it can be applied multiple times without changing the result of the initial application. For example:
Idempotence matters for
nike air max 90 vs air max 1
and speculative query executions . The driver will bypass those features if the Statement#isIdempotent() flag is set to
, to ensure that the statement does not get executed more than once.
In most cases, you must set that flag manually. The driver does not parse query strings, so it can't infer it automatically (except for statements coming from the query builder, see below).
Statements start out as non-idempotent by default. You can override the flag on each statement:
The default is also configurable: if you want all statements to start out as idempotent, do this:
Any statement on which you didn't call
gets this default value.
Bound statements inherit the flag from the prepared statement they were created from:

DSL tries to infer the
flag on the statements it generates. The following statements will be marked
counter updates:
prepend, append or deletion operations on lists:
queries that insert the result of a function call or a "raw" string in a column (or as an element in a collection column):
This is a conservative approach, since the driver can't guess whether a function is idempotent, or what a raw string contains. It might yield false negatives, that you'll have to fix manually.
lightweight transactions (see the next section for a detailed explanation):
If these rules produce a false negative, you can manually override the flag on the built statement:
As explained in the previous section, the query builder considers lightweight transactions as non-idempotent. This might sound counter-intuitive, as these queries can sometimes be safe to execute multiple times. For example, consider the following query:
If we execute it twice, the
condition will fail the second time, so the second execution will do nothing and
will still have the value 4.
However, the problem appears when we consider multiple clients executing the query with retries:
One important aspect of lightweight transactions is linearizability : given a set of concurrent operations on a column from different clients, there must be a way to reorder them to yield a sequential history that is correct. From our clients' point of view, there were two operations:While we continue to adjust to our newly acclimated residents and sudden population increase, our doors will remain closed – for now.
But rest assured, those doors will reopen in the near future. Keep watching this page for details.

Former St. Louis Officer Jason Stockley
ST. LOUIS – A federal judge is reconsidering whether to reopen a previously settled wrongful death suit against a former St. Louis police officer.
On December 20, 2011, Jason Stockley shot and killed Anthony Lamar Smith, 24, at West Florissant and Acme after a mile-long chase through the area.
Stockley was eventually charged with murder in the case. He was acquitted on September 15, 2017 .
Smith's family filed a civil suit against the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department before the murder trial began. The family settled the case out of court for $900,000.
The federal judge is now weighing the option to reopen the case because he said the attorney for Smith's family did not have access to DNA evidence at the time, our news partners at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported .
Earlier Wednesday, it was reported that the judge had, in fact, reopened the case. However, the Clerk of Court at the US District Court in downtown St. Louis released a statement Wednesday afternoon, clarifying that judge was only considering such action.
Dear All:
I am writing you due to your interest in reporting on the above-styled case. I am including appropriate and current information on the case. You may wish to check this information against any previous reports you have issued. Please contact me if you have further questions.
On March 27, 2018, the Court held a telephone conference with counsel of record regarding a pending Motion to Reopen Case/Motion for Sanctions/Motion for Order to Show Cause [ECF No. 104]. Although a motion is pending in the case, the case remains closed. The Court has permitted counsel of record additional time to provide the Court with a scheduling plan relating to the pending matters. That plan is due on April 3, 2018. A formal hearing is not scheduled before the Court on that date.
Gregory J. Linhares Clerk of Court United States District Court – Eastern Missouri
During the criminal trial, prosecutors alleged that Officer Stockley shot into Smith's car at Riverview and Thekla in St. Louis then he and his partner, who was driving the SUV, chased Smith at speeds over 80 miles per hour. During the pursuit, the defendant is heard on an internal police car video saying "Going to kill this m/f, don't you know it."

Over the past three decades, New Testament scholars of the Reformed tradition and the "New Perspective" have debated whether the Apostle Paul's Christian theology about the Law and salvation was in agreement with the teaching of mainstream first-century Judaism regarding the Law and the salvation of God's covenant people. Among these New Perspective scholars is the Bishop of Durham, N.T. Wright, whose works will be considered in this paper. The Reformed position's insistence that the imputed righteousness of Christ is the grounds of believer's present justification and hope has been challenged by Wright, who has proposed an alternative view on justification. This paper will examine whether Wright's "fresh perspective" on justification provides the same present hope which Paul celebrates in Romans 5-8.

Construction Sites
Construction sites present a unique set of risks. During normal operations, OSHA Safety violations can cause company accidents, employee injuries or even fatalities. After normal operations the site becomes a prime target for theft and sabotage.
1stSSO's site assessments can help manage loss prevention by minimizing or eliminating the risk of accidents, loss of man hours and productivity, health care costs related to employee injury, employee time-off and costly fines by State and Federal Safety Organizations by making frequent and random visits with surveillance of day-to-day operations. After normal hours of operations,and on weekends, 1stSSO can secure expensive equipment and materials; and prevent community or competitive groups from committing sabotage.

Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and Jeremy Piven are just a few of the men in Hollywood accused of sexual abuse. Nondisclosure agreements have protected Hollywood execs like Weinstein for sexual assault allegations from surfacing for years. But many are saying the careers of men in Hollywood like Spacey and Weinstein are over. While some skeptics argue that sexual predators are protected in Hollywood, others believe the industry is finally cracking down. What do you think?
The extensive list of Hollywood execs, filmmakers and A-list actors accused of sexual abuse continues to grow. From sexual misconduct to rape allegations, Fox News now has a list of whose careers are likely over.
Weinstein's career is over, with more than 80 women accusing him of sexual misconduct or rape. The infamous movie producer was removed from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He was also fired from his own production company.
Spacey has had a similar ordeal. He's been fired from "House of Cards." Christopher Plummer will replace Spacey in the completed film "All the Money in the World." The movie is still expected to be released on Friday, Dec. 22.
Survivors aren't only ousting alleged sexual predators, but Hollywood is putting forth a good faith effort to change an industry-wide culture of sexual assault.
But here's how powerful men in Hollywood have gotten away with sexual assault allegations for so long.
Confidentiality clauses have featured in a number of high-profile sexual harassment scandals. In November 2011, Politico reported that Herman Cain, then running for the Republican presidential nomination, had been accused of sexual harassment by two women who worked with him when he ran the National Restaurant Association; Cain's employer had settled the claims with agreements that forbade the women to speak about the incidents.
Venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins offered to settle former employee Ellen Pao's sexual harassment suit only if -- according to Pao's account -- she signed an agreement limiting her freedom to talk about her experience. (She dropped her suit but declined to settle, saying she did not want to be silenced.) Fox News Channel likewise used confidentiality clauses in contracts with employees to protect its late chief Roger Ailes from sexual harassment claims.

"Hope is a tattered flag and a dream of time," wrote Carl Sandburg. We delight in, struggle with, are comforted, haunted, challenged, or vexed by these sometimes sweeping, sometimes simple arcs. Dreams are fleeting tapestries of memories, fears, hopes, doubts, unresolved problems, traumatic events, desires, things we could have should have would have done or said. Why do we have them? Where do they come from, really? How is it even possible that our brains construct them in the first place?
Science doesn't really know. Researchers have linked the phenomenon of dreaming to memory-making, problem-solving, and the processing of information and emotion. Renee Descartes, the 17th-century French philosopher famous for formulating the maxim cogito ergo sum ("I think, therefore I am"), warned that dreams prove the fundamental duplicity of our senses. Lucid dreams (dreams in which we know we are dreaming) are rare, prompting Descartes to note that to a dreamer in the act of dreaming, the dreamed reality is experienced as reality. Our senses are unable to properly distinguish the dream-time simulation from real-world experience. Consider this an early formulation of the sensory anxieties inherent to various brain-in-a-vat scenarios or the Matrix films.
Many people believe that left-brain functions, such as reading, are impossible while dreaming. This concept was a key plot point in a 1992 episode of Batman: The Animated Series in which Bruce Wayne realizes he's captured in an induced, idyllic dream (his parents are alive) when he repeatedly tries and fails to read newspapers and books. This episode is so well-remembered that Google assumes you want to add "batman" to the search phrase "can you read in dreams" (which of course you do). Batman makes everything better, but it's not as clear whether the no-reading meme is true. Lots of people say they've read in dreams, but because that makes Batman a liar (more likely, they are lying, because Batman), I have my doubts.
Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the double-helix structure of DNA, held that dreams were essential to problem-solving, allowing the otherwise resting mind to sort through millions of inputs and establish patterns. Crick's research partner, James Watson, famously claims to have realized the double-helix structure after dreaming of a spiral staircase in the thick of their research. Descartes himself claimed to created what become the basis of Western material philosophy, the scientific method, in a dream.
Although we still don't really know for certain why we dream, scientific consensus seems to be with Crick. Minus the inventory of mental needs that comprise our waking hours, in sleep, our minds are free to fire different neural paths and establish intellectual, emotional, and other connections we're often kept from making otherwise. In fact, with apologies to Fiona Apple, problem-solving isn't just the reason for dreams, but for the very act of sleeping.
We sleep, it seems, to dream, and we dream to make sense of life, to better understand and experience our world, ourselves, and our relationship to everything between. Here the spiritual experience of dreams as visions or prophetic words are not at odds with the likes of Descartes or Crick, and certainly not with Sandburg. We are vessels of knowledge, hope, and time seeking understanding, clarity of purpose. We seek better patterns, fairer systems, and, sometimes, we find them.

Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) is the main intelligence agency of the armed forces of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. ISI is responsible for Pakistan's national security. One can join ISI directly and indirectly by several means. The indirect way to join ISI is through armed forces of Pakistan including Army, Navy and Air Force. Officers like JCOs and others NCOs can join ISI after taking permission from unit officer commanding. These officers can take the basic test and after passing the test they are sent to ISI School from where they can be posted in intelligence field units or in higher ranks. The senior officers as Major and high rank serve ISI for 2 to 3 years. Now we will discuss about the direct method to join ISI.
How To Join ISI As Officer Agent After Fsc (Inter Services Intelligence Of Pakistan)
Federal Public Service Commission has the authority to conduct recruitment for ISI as the intelligence agency comes under Ministry of Defense. FPSC organizes various types of IQ and other tests in order to judge the ability of a person to know that whether he is capable of joining ISI or not.

Calls by Cottesloe Councillors to ban rooftop gardens because of the noise from parties held there raise an interesting question about how much inner city residents should have to put up with. Some say if you want to live in a vibrant inner city you'll have to live with the noise of parties, pubs, music venues, cars, drunks, etc. and if you don't like it move to the suburbs, but is that fair?
Even people living in a bustling inner city do have the right to privacy and the comfort of their own home, and the argument that one can't expect to have quiet days and nights because of an inner city location are inconsiderate, especially since real estate in a central location like Fremantle costs a lot more that in the outer suburbs.
With our climate and our lifestyle we are blessed to be able to entertain outdoors for eight months a year and that requires consideration for our neighbours who might not party as often. Is live music acceptable at an inner city party for example, or why should Marine Parade residents accept that the City of Fremantle has made the Esplanade Reserve park into a showground, when the Town of Claremont no longer allows live concerts at their showground?
There is a fine line between freedom and making a nuisance of oneself. The lack of care and consideration for others is often the core problem. If everyone in our street had two loud and late parties over the warmer months we would not have a quiet weekend ever where we can just sit outdoors and have a nice chat and a barbeque, because the noise from others would intrude and take away our privacy and preferred way of living and entertaining.
One Cottesloe Councillor said the noise from roof garden parties descents on the suburb like a cloud from which no one can escape. I recall similar complaints were made when Many 6160 had a rooftop bar and live music.
There is a difference when people buy property and move in near a source of noise, be that a train line, busy road or pub. When they do that they should be aware that they will get noise, but others who have bought in a relatively quiet location should not suddenly have to put up with extreme noise. The planned live music venue at J Shed for example will seriously affect the lifestyle and quiet comfort of those who years ago bought properties in the west end of Fremantle. Is that fair to them and should they have to accept that because the common good is more important than their privacy? Would you accept it if it happened near you?
Rooftop gardens are the new design features of many multi-storey apartment buildings and that requires that Councils have laws in place to deal with the noise that might escape from them and affect neighbours close and far away. The Fremantle inner city is already going through a change with apartment buildings in progress and others planned, so we'd better get ready and deal with the coming changes and challenges related to it.

I found a light yellow circled pill. It only has markings on one side. The side that does have the makings it has a cross on it but it fits only 4 numbers and on the top left it has a "0" on the top right has a "2" on the bottom left has a "2" and the bottom right has a "1" I have no idea what this pill is I've tried looking it up but maybe I'm not doing it right, I'm not sure. Thanks for any help i can get.

More fun in the yard:
Denis will start another week of vacation tomorrow. He's already threatened to spend more time and money in the yard if I don't give him enough indoor projects. I've got an extensive list going, but he is superman, so he'll probably finish everything indoors and still spend time and money outdoors. Definitely NOTHING to complain about and EVERYTHING to be joyful about.
I printed this - it looks incredible. I really wish Riley was in it too. :(
This is only the beginnings of her dirtiness that evening. It definitely got worse.
I remember trying so hard to teach Riley and Paul NOT to pick flowers because we didn't have very many. Now we have so many! I love that they can enjoy picking and bringing them to me. We always have a vase full on the table. They are a far cry from a florist's arrangement, but most certainly more special.
Denis got home from work and snuck in the back gate to surprise us. Charlie and Camille couldn't get to him fast enough!
There she is kissing him again. I did get one out of her this week, finally.
Please ignore the mess in the background. One of Charlie's bookshelves collapsed so books are piled up. Of course she adds toys to the top and makes it look that much worse. The awesomeness in the photo far outweighed the mess so I had to share it anyhow.
This little girl is so happy to get in her bed at night. We had to do the "cry it out" method with Riley, but haven't had to do it since. Paul, Charlie, and Camille have always been so easy to put down for bed. I think the biggest difference in our parenting was we made sure to always lay the kids down before they fell asleep nursing. When we couldn't keep them awake in the early months I just made sure I wasn't gentle in putting them down. On random nights she'll cry when we walk out of the room, but she stops within a minute. I went back in with the camera last night since I hadn't taken crib pictures in a while. She was so happy to ham it up for me. When I finished she grinned and said, "bye bye." A few minutes later I checked on her and she was OUT. What an angel! (Although she was a bear all day today because she doesn't feel good).
She was so proud of figuring out how to climb on the couch. Now I am trying to prevent her from falling off. She sure loves this new "trick."
My hubby gives me the best flowers ever. They just keep on giving over and over. These are all from our backyard. The images below are from last week, but the kids and I spent all afternoon out there today. We played soccer, planted some green onions, walked the balance beam and slid on the slide. What fun in such a beautiful yard! Thanks to the hubs.
Here's a few of Camille rolling around with her blanket. If she sees it she HAS to have it. I've been making a point to keep it in her crib so she doesn't walk around with it. If she has her blanket the thumb automatically goes in her mouth. Yuck, I'm fighting that, not encouraging it.
The coat closet was open this morning when we were picking up. I walked away and got into doing something else when Camille started fussing. She wouldn't stop! I asked Denis to help her. I thought she was wandering around fussing because she didn't know what to do with herself (we'd picked up all the toys). Nope, she was standing in the coat closet crying because she was unable to reach my scarf that looks exactly like her blanket. She was a happy girl once Denis gave it to her. RIDICULOUS !
Nanny Jaime had the idea of taking the kids to the Strawberry festival Friday night. Thankfully my parents had the brilliant idea of leaving Camille with them. It is definitely not a place for toddlers! We saw an infant (maybe a month old) that I am sure will end up in the hospital next week for fever and some kind of serious infection. People are crazy!!! The lines weren't too long, but the wait was ridiculous because they were still working out the kinks with many of the rides and flow of people. Paul is the only kid that got whiney, but overall they did great. We only stayed until we used all 48 tickets (which was under 2 hours), but we were all DONE by that time anyhow. I think the St. Tammany Parish fair, a couple of years ago, was a better experience for the kids. It was a bigger park and the first day of the fair started early in the day. We were able to go long before there were big crowds. We will probably only go to a fair every couple of years because it is expensive and a hassle. The kids love it and it's something close to home that supports the town. I guess it's worth the money. Maybe. Sort of. Probably not.
The best part of the night was a taco bar and apple nachos by Nanny Jaime! We probably could have stayed at Nanny's and had just as much fun for a lot less money. Lesson learned.
Charlie loved the tea cups so much that we did them twice.
I used my wide angle lens at the fair because I knew I'd be in close proximity with the kids the whole time. After using my 50mm for so long I now notice the distortion a wide angle gives an image. That was the only lens I used for over a year and I never noticed. I guess I just didn't realize what I was looking at.
He is super cute no matter the lens.
At least I got Sammy to look at me for a cousin pic. Paul was being too silly to cooperate.
Just some blur for fun. This is what the whole 2 hours felt like to me.
Riley had art day at school (hence the butterflies on her face), got picked up in carline, had strawberries at Mae Mae's, dinner and dessert at Nanny's, and the strawberry festival. She was one happy, excited little girl!
After this picture we discovered Charlie was sitting in some stranger's gum. Yuck! This was right before the ride started. She was able to sort of enjoy the ride, but not really. Don't blame her. I'd have been disgusted too.
8 years has flown by! Happy Anniversary to us!
I can remember when I was a teenager, and when I was in college, pining away for this life. I remember that I just wanted a glimpse of what my future held. I no longer want a glimpse. Today is perfect. Tomorrow isn't here yet. I know Denis can say the same. We adore Jesus, each other, and our children. We both have jobs we love and are healthy. What more can we ask for? With confidence I can say we have let God direct us down this path in life. We have yet to be disappointed, and I doubt we ever will be. So to ALL of you that ask "how many more kids are you going to have?" "Are you pregnant yet?" It's not really any of your business or ours. WE DO NOT KNOW ! We really do let God lead our lives. It is not up to us. We have great faith that even if we have times of trial that God will guide us through with the reason for bringing us closer to him. We are open for whatever He wants for us.
Ok, enough sappy stuff.
My sweet man hid 8 cards all over the house. He sent me text messages all day telling me where to look next. Then I got a dozen roses and some awesome chocolate! If this was because he had to work on our anniversary then I hope he works next year too. :)
He's simply the cutest boy I've ever met (of course I'm biased). Keep scrolling. These get even better.
Charlie got her first cabbage patch kid from Nanny Jaime for Easter. Riley has mine from when I was a kid and she adores it. I'm so glad Charlie has one now too. As you can see below she is such a good little momma.
Everything on her, behind her, and next to her is all her doing. Messy girl. I guess we should have picked up a little before we took video. Oh well. You get to see my house for real.
One of the many April fools jokes from the lovely hubs. Upside down pictures (all over the house), moved kitchen drawers, cereal in the wrong boxes, and my underwear knotted together in one long rope. The kids and I laughed all day!
The speed of life.
We went to the Olive Garden for an Easter egg hunt Saturday morning. Denis organized this for his team member's children. He'd delegated to other people to hide the eggs, but when we got there it wasn't done yet. He had to run out to hide the eggs and I got to take pictures of my kids with this yummy natural light pouring into his restaurant.
Checking out the goods after the OG hunt.
The Easter Bunny stopped here and now we are all 5 lbs heavier.
How about that hair?
I can't get her to kiss me for anything. She'll sure kiss her daddy though.
This was one of the first pictures I took in our 2 minute session before heading out for church Easter morning.
Camille kept running through the banner. Then I realized Paul was holding his water gun.
I enlisted Denis to help a little too late. For some reason he thought I wanted him in the picture. Definitely not, but that's ok because we ended up with this hilarity.
Paul really isn't thrilled that I took his water gun away. Then Denis yelled "get in the car" and they all took off. Oh well. They're cute no matter what right?
This is totally a Pinterest idea. I did work hard on these all week though. These are hollowed out real egg shells. I hand painted them and put a Christian message in each for the kids.
We gave each kid a coloring sheet to match the message hidden in their egg.
What they each thought about their eggs. Paul thought it was cool, Camille didn't care, Riley thought it was too pretty to smash, and Charlie just watched how the other kids reacted and had a mixture of emotions about hers.
What they each did to their eggs.
Well, I did Camille's. She didn't have a clue that she was supposed to smash/crack it.
Riley won this bunny at the egg hunt Easter Sunday. She was rolling around in the grass with it saying,
"this is the best Easter E V E R!"
I didn't know there were loose nerds in some of the eggs from the egg hunt. Oops. It didn't take Camille long to figure out what to do with them.
We have framed pictures from my childhood church, Denis' childhood church, our church in college, and the church from our previous city. We've been in this city for 3 years and I'm just now getting the picture I want of our church. I tried once before, but didn't like the outcome, so I never printed it. I will print this one and put it in the frame that's been hanging empty for 3 years. Finally.
In Motion
I just love the Easter season. What a great excuse to have an egg salad sandwich!
Mae Mae has a different type of egg for each of her grandchildren. We don't go to their house Easter Sunday, so they brought my kids eggs over a few days early. Denis hid them in our yard. All but Camille had a fun time hunting. Camille didn't like having to put her eggs (hearts) in the basket. She wanted to sit and play with the first one she picked up.
She's a climber. (Denis was right there in case she fell).
Zoo fun with the Kelley's
Paul is the sweetest big brother. He adores his baby sister. I think he's going to miss her when he goes to school. Charlie has had a bit of a time acting out since we've had Camille. She's kind of mean to her. Paul sets such a good example of how to treat a baby. It's been rubbing off on Charlie. Thankfully, she's getting better and better with Camille.
I have no idea why these next 2 photos look a little green. They didn't initially, but do now. Maybe you won't notice. I'm sure you wouldn't have if I didn't say anything. Like Denis says, just keep quiet and no one else will know.
This year
They could play with caterpillars anywhere, but choose to do so at the zoo. Seriously?
These boys are fabulous. We are so lucky to know them and most of all have them as zoo pals. Nobody else could do the zoo like we do. It takes us ALL day to go through the little bitty Baton Rouge Zoo, and we don't even see all of the exhibits!
We are ready to celebrate Jesus' resurrection in the secular way. This is the first year we've grown real grass in our baskets. I think we started a week too early. Here it was perfect. By the time Easter came it was much taller and crazy looking.
I get Riley for a whole week! Yay! She is so great with Camille when she wants to be. Most of the time she's too busy to give her a second glance, but I caught them playing together this afternoon.
My big girl is an artist through and through. I hope she will use her talent for something great one day.
Four Seasons
Does she really need this many mediums to create her art?
I had a few random plans for the day when my sister called me to go look at wreaths with her. There's a lady in my neighborhood that makes beautiful ones. I bought Jaime a Saints one last year, and it seems to be her favorite. The lady that makes the wreaths opened a shop a while back, so we went to check it out. To our surprise it is located in the side part of a shipping store. This worked out perfectly because I was able to mail my NILMDTS cd to my most recent client while she shopped for a wreath. She picked up a summer wreath and saw a plastic Easter egg in the pail hanging on it. When she asked the workers they said it was part of an Easter egg hunt Sassy Decor and More was holding for their customers. If you found the golden egg you got the below Easter basket free. We searched high and low for 30 minutes. We were NOT giving up! Finally I found it on top of a greeting card display. It was blending in with a card about the same color. I know I looked in that spot once or twice before, but I guess just not at the right angle. Jaime got her wreaths and we got a free basket. I was thinking if I didn't have Charlie with me I would have divided the items up in my kids Easter bunny baskets. Since she was with me I let the kids dig in. They were well entertained and still have plenty of activities to do.
There were 4 Melissa & Doug activities, a paint book, doodle pad, giant color by dot coloring book, Melissa & Doug triangle crayon pack and a watercolor paint set, Reese's eggs, bubbles, fancy bubble wands, a jump rope, a garden tool, a white chocolate bunny, little chocolate bunnies, and a stuffed bunny (Charlie's favorite).
There's no telling what it cost to put that basket together. It is definitely more than I could or would spend on my kids for Easter. We do try to teach them to not be so materialistic. We actually scaled down a bit for Easter this year. They just have so much stuff! After the kids went to bed last night I had the thought that we should have donated the basket to a shelter with kids, or a church that could give to a family in need. Since I didn't have that thought until my kids did half of the activities we will donate some extra money to a charity this Easter.
Thank you Sassy Decor and More for the fun hunt and the continued fun my kids are having with their new toys/activities. Believe it or not Paul and Charlie have played with the bubbles most. That's something that we always have, but I guess there's something special about new container of bubbles.
I cannot consistently focus properly when videoing with my 1.2 lens. That's what happened to be on my camera this time, so I went with it. So sorry that the focus is actually on Charlie's head.
Denis' project this week turned out nice. I love it from outside, but it's taking some getting used to from inside of my house. He built one at the old house and we had muscadines growing on it. By the time we moved out it was B E A U T I F U L ! The kids had fun eating those because they got to spit out the seeds and skin. This time we are trying seedless green and purple grapes though. I can't wait for the grapevines to start growing!
Notice the difference harsh daytime light and shadows creates opposed to nice evening light in the after image.
Deep in thought
(not really, this only lasted 2 seconds).
This baby was so miserable all day. Her daddy played and distracted her the last hour of the evening. This ended up putting her in such a good mood that I didn't want to put her to bed. She was so happy for the first time all day that I wanted to enjoy her a bit longer.
Come out, come out, where ever you are (I'm saying that to her tooth that must be coming in).
I love this age! This little boy is my pal! He is such a great helper and big brother. If I haven't said this already I'm saying it now, I am going to miss him so much when he starts school in August. (You will probably read this 100 more times between now and then.)
The kids got gooey fake lizards and frogs from a birthday party recently. They had a blast playing with them. Camille did NOT ! This is so funny to me. Maybe that makes me a mean mommy, but I couldn't help but laugh. It is also super funny when she sees somebody with bunny ears. She screams and shakes until they get away from her. She is scared of just about everything. Although, she did learn to accept her Peek-a-boo bear from Santa.
She goes, and goes, and goes. My usually sweet angel has been sick with a cold this week. She is kind of acting like she's teething again. I also saw her pull at an ear a few times today. I've never had a kid with an ear infection, but she just might. B E A R , was her name today. Ask Nanny Jaime, she was around to witness. Not fun! This was a few weeks ago when she actually felt good.
Oh the faces...
If you do not think this is the most adorable jegginged (I'm sure not a real word) butt you ever saw then surely you are mistaken.
After my dad's crawfish bday party (pictures a ways below) we went to church with him. After church we walked over to the gym to see the St. Joseph's Altar. I've never seen it before (that I can remember). It was impressive, gaudy, and beautiful all at the same time. I probably shouldn't say gaudy when describing a communities offering to the poor, but I did, oops.
If you would like to read about the altar and it's meaning please go to this link for a great, simple explanation.
This Rosary cake was incredibly beautiful. The rosary is a very powerful prayer right out of scripture. I have always felt the presence of God when praying it. Maybe that's why I loved this cake so much.
The kids were fascinated as well. I'm not sure what they were talking about here, but they sure had big eyes that wanted to dig into that candy.
This is the table where the costumed children, pretending to look for shelter, find sustenance at the altar.
This made my day! Caroline, Marshall, and Jaime showed up at my house with this awesome bundle of flowers from my grandmother's yard. She must be smiling down knowing that she is still spreading joy with her flowers.
Planting grass seed in their Easter baskets. I've been wanting to do this for years and finally remembered early enough this year. This was a week ago. You should see the baskets now! They look awesome!
Hard at Play
Any excuse to party is good for the Guagliardo's! Happy Birthday dad! I believe it was a successful party. Fun was had by ALL. Thank you so much Jess and Bern for hosting!
Camille spilled a capri sun (that she never should have had) all over her adorable dress. I let her run around naked until it was time to get dressed for church. I don't think anyone really cared, but I'm not entirely sure I should have let my one year old run around naked at a party (at least it was family party).
What an awesome, on purpose "photo bomb"
We sure love that Mal Mal!
Yummmm, I already want more.
I really do wish I could find the picture of me and Mal wearing matching orange shirts and hats. It would be fun to see the difference years later.
It was hard to get these lit because of the wind. As soon as Jaime and Jess finally got them lit and stood back all but one blew out!
Dad laughed and blew out the one candle that stayed lit.
Great job on the cake Jaime! It was delicious and I want more of it too.
Riley was fascinated with this baby crawfish. She said she was going to keep it forever. When I informed her that wasn't an option she went straight to Aunt Jess and convinced her to keep it. News flash Aunt Jess: SHE WILL NOT FORGET THAT YOU PROMISED HER YOU WOULD KEEP IT. It would be wise to think up a cover story for when she asks you where it is.
Paul had a blast playing wiffle ball. He's a good hitter! Charlie loved lining them all up and fighting for a bat. I never did figure out what she wanted the bat for. It certainly wasn't to play the game. Camille kept running in the way of the game, so I had to put the camera down and entertain her. I have no idea what Riley was doing. Maybe she was playing with Maggie. IDK.
Apparently, once we left, the remaining crew played adults vs. kids and had a blast. Adults won (go figure). It'll be a funny day when those kids are old enough and coordinated enough to kick the adults behinds!
This poor, deprived fella had to shave and go back to work instead of going to dad's crawfish bday celebration. I'm so sorry Denis. Maybe I'll get you some crawfish this week. He wasn't thrilled about the photo or the above fact. Can't you tell from that smirk?
Denis was on vacation all week. Guess where he spent the majority of his time: THE YARD! Here's a small portion of his efforts. I can't wait until it all grows and fills in! Now he's working on a pergola by the house. I wish somebody would just pay him to do our yard work. Too bad life doesn't work that way.
I love this, but it doesn't even look like her.
The first year of calendar pictures are complete! It was a bit aggravating, a lot of hard work, and mostly fun. I do love how you can see how much she's grown in such a short time. Laughing is a must when you see how thrilled she is in the last picture.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX Cards Finally Return to Stock at MSRP
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 9, 2018 - 12:23 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: video card, pricing, msrp, mining, GTX 1080, gtx 1070, gtx 1060, gtx, graphics, gpu, gaming, crypto
The wait for in-stock NVIDIA graphics cards without inflated price tags seems to be over. Yes, in the wake of months of crypto-fueled disappointment for gamers the much anticipated, long-awaited return of graphics cards at (gasp) MSRP prices is at hand. NVIDIA has now listed most of their GTX lineup as in-stock (with a limit of 2) at normal MSRPs, with the only exception being the GTX 1080 Ti (still out of stock). The lead time from NVIDIA is one week, but worth it for those interested in the lower prices and 'Founders Edition' coolers.
Many other GTX 10 Series options are to be found online at near-MSRP pricing, though as before many of the aftermarket designs command a premium, with factory overclocks and proprietary cooler designs to help justify the added cost. Even Amazon - previously home to some of the most outrageous price-gouging from third-party sellers in months past - has cards at list pricing, which seems to solidify a return to GPU normalcy.
The GTX 1080 inches closer to standard pricing once again on Amazon
Some of the current offers include:
MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1080 ARMOR 8G - $549.99 @ Amazon.com
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 - $469.99 @ Amazon.com
EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING 6GB - $299.99 @ Newegg.com
GTX 1070 cards continue to have the highest premium outside of NVIDIA's store, with the lowest current pricing on Newegg or Amazon at $469.99. Still, the overall return to near-MSRP pricing around the web is good news for gamers who have been forced to play second (or third) fiddle to cryptomining "entrepreneurs" for several months now; a disturbing era in which pre-built gaming systems from Alienware and others actually presented a better value than DIY builds.
Airtop2 Inferno: Compact Fanless Gaming PC Featuring a Core i7-7700K and GTX 1080

Compulab, maker of mini systems such as the fitlet and Airtop is bringing the compact, fanless concept to a powerful gaming system - with no less than an Intel Core i7-7700K and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080. The catch? Is is not yet available, pending an upcoming Kickstarter campaign beginning February 24.
The teaser image of the upcoming Airtop2 Inferno fanless gaming system
The Airtop2 is already available for purchase in a fanless workstation version, built-to-order with up to an Intel Xeon E3-1275 v6 and NVIDIA Quadro P4000 (starting at $2575 for that configuration before adding memory/storage), and this new "Inferno" version of the Airtop2 promises to be very interesting to silent computing enthusiasts.
Front and rear views of the Inferno system
A fanless gaming system with high-end components is only going to be as effective as its cooling system, and here Compulab has a lot of experience on the industrial/embedded side of things.
Exploded view of the standard Airtop2 design (no images of the Airtop2 Inferno interior available yet)
Compulab lists these specs for the Airtop2 Inferno (along with the teaser, "and a little more..."):
- Unlocked Intel Core-i7 7700K
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
- Up to 64 GB DDR4 2400 RAM
- 2x NVMe + 4x 2.5″ SSD / HDD
- 2x USB 3.1 + 7x USB 3.0 | dual LAN | front (and back) audio
Compulab has also provided some benchmark results to demonstrate how effective their fanless implementation of these components is, with results using 3DMark and Unigine Heaven available on the Inferno product page.
The company has set up a Q&A page for the Airtop2 Inferno, but pricing/availability info will probably have to wait until February 24th when the Kickstarter campaign is active.
Acer's new G-SYNC Predator gaming laptop will cost you

The top end model which Kitguru reviewed will cost you well over $3000 but it is an impressive machine. Part of the cost comes from the G-SYNC IPS display, capable of up to 120Hz as well as the GTX 1080 Max-Q which powers it. The laptop features a mechanical keyboard and all of the I/O features you would expect, including a Type-C Thunderbolt port. The touchpad design may not be a strong point however, it is located above the keyboard, directly below the screen which may not be comfortable for frequent use. It is made of glass and reveals a fan and the GPU heatpipes, a nice visual look with a drawback; after extended usage that glass is hot!
"With its Predator Triton 700, Acer will be hoping that it has ticked all the boxes when it comes to building a portable gaming powerhouse."

CES 2018: ASUS ROG Strix GL12 Gaming Desktop Announced
Subject: Systems | January 8, 2018 - 09:00 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: CES, ROG, nvidia, Intel, GTX 1080, geforce, coffee lake, asus, CES 2018
ASUS has just announced a high-end gaming desktop: the ROG Strix GL12. It looks like it will be a standard mid-tower form factor with a highly stylized design and, of course, RGB lights. They will pair with Aura Sync, so you make your case match your keyboard and pretty much whatever else you have from ASUS with RGB lights in it.
The main selling feature of the system, however, is the factory-overclocked Coffee Lake CPU – up to six cores at 4.8 GHz. You can also pair this with an NVIDIA GTX 1080. At first, I found it odd that they didn't go up to the GTX 1080 Ti given the rest of the system, although I guess they would need to produce stock ahead of time, and it would be risky to have too many enthusiast parts sitting in a warehouse. They don't state the maximum configurable RAM, but Coffee Lake maxes out at 64 GB so we know that it won't be more than that. It all depends on whether ASUS wants to make a 32 GB or a 64 GB SKU.
The ASUS ROG Strix GL12 gaming desktop will launch in April. Pricing TBA.
Forza Motorsport 7 Performance
The first full Forza Motorsport title available for the PC, Forza Motorsport 7 on Windows 10 launched simultaneously with the Xbox version earlier this month. With native 4K assets, HDR support, and new visual features like fully dynamic weather, this title is an excellent showcase of what modern PC hardware can do.
Now that both AMD and NVIDIA have released drivers optimized for Forza 7, we've taken an opportunity to measure performance across an array of different GPUs. After some significant performance mishaps with last year's Forza Horizon 3 at launch on PC, we are excited to see if Forza Motorsport 7 brings any much-needed improvements.
For this testing, we used our standard GPU testbed, including an 8-core Haswell-E processor and plenty of memory and storage.
|PC Perspective GPU Testbed
|Intel Core i7-5960X Haswell-E
|ASUS Rampage V Extreme X99
|G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB DDR4-3200
|OCZ Agility 4 256GB (OS)
Adata SP610 500GB (games)
|Power Supply
|Corsair AX1500i 1500 watt
|Windows 10 x64
|AMD: 17.10.1 (Beta)
As with a lot of modern console-first titles, Forza 7 defaults to "Dynamic" image quality settings. This means that the game engine is supposed to find the best image settings for your hardware automatically, and dynamically adjust them so that you hit a target frame rate (adjustable between 30 and 60fps) no matter what is going on in the current scene that is being rendered.
While this is a good strategy for consoles, and even for casual PC gamers, it poses a problem for us trying to measure equivalent performance across GPUs. Luckily the developers of Forza Motorsport 7, Turn 10 Studios, still let you disable the dynamic control and configure the image quality settings as you desire.
One quirk however though is that in order for V-Sync to be disabled, the rendering resolution within the game must match the native resolution of your monitor. This means that if you are running 2560x1440 on your 4K monitor, you must first set the resolution within windows to 2560x1440 in order to run the game in V-Sync off mode.
We did our testing with an array of three different resolutions (1080p, 1440p, and 4K) at maximum image quality settings. We tested both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards in similar price and performance segments. The built-in benchmark mode for this game was used, which does feature some variance due to dynamic weather patterns. However, our testing within the full game matched the results of the benchmark mode closely, so we used it for our final results.
Right off the bat, I have been impressed at how well optimized Forza Motorsport 7 seems to be on the PC. Compared to the unoptimized disaster that was Forza Horizon 3 when it launched on PC last year, it's clear that Turn 10 Studios and Microsoft have come a long way.
Even gamers looking to play on a 4K display at 60Hz can seemingly get away with the cheaper, and more mainstream GPUs such as the RX 580 or the GTX 1060 with acceptable performance in most scenarios.
Games on high-refresh-rate displays don't appear to have the same luxury. If you want to game at a resolution such as 2560x1440 at a full 144Hz, neither the RX Vega 64 or GTX 1080 will do this with maximum image quality settings. Although these GPUs appear to be in the margin where you could turn down a few settings to achieve your full refresh rate.
For some reason, the RX Vega cards didn't seem to show any scaling in performance when moving from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080, unlike the Polaris-based RX 580 and the NVIDIA options. We aren't quite sure of the cause of this and have reached out to AMD for clarification.
As far as frame times are concerned, we also gathered some data with our Frame Rating capture analysis system.
Taking a look at the first chart, we can see while the GTX 1080 frame times are extremely consistent, the RX Vega 64 shows some additional variance.
However, the frame time variance chart shows that over 95% of the frame times of the RX Vega 64 come in at under 2ms of variance, which will still provide a smooth gameplay experience in most scenarios. This matches with our experience while playing on both AMD and NVIDIA hardware where we saw no major issues with gameplay smoothness.
Forza Motorsport 7 seems to be a great addition to the PC gaming world (if you don't mind using the Microsoft store exclusively) and will run great on a wide array of hardware. Whether or not you have a NVIDIA or AMD GPU, you should be able to enjoy this fantastic racing simulator.
How much does the driver matter when playing Forza 7?

[H]ard|OCP recently used Forza 7 in their GPU benchmarks and discovered that AMD's Vega 64 outperformed the GTX 1080 by a noticeable margin. NVIDIA responded by releasing two new drivers in quick succession, claiming performance improvements of up to 25% in this title, which prompted [H] to revisit there results with the newest drivers from both companies. They tested at both 1440p and at 4K and saw changes, though perhaps not as great as NVIDIA first announced. Take a look at the review here and consider the question they pose in their conclusions.
"Forza Motorsport 7 gaming performance has changed, video cards stack up differently when compared. We take Forza Motorsport 7 and apply new NVIDIA GeForce 387.92 and AMD Crimson ReLive 17.10.1 drivers to find out how these compare, what performance differences there are, and if AMD Radeon RX Vega is still king in this game."

Can you hear me now?
One of the more significant downsides to modern gaming notebooks is noise. These devices normally have small fans that have to spin quickly to cool the high-performance components found inside. While the answer for loud gaming desktops might be a nice set of headphones, for notebooks that may be used in more public spaces, that's not necessarily a good solution for friends or loved ones.
Attempting to address the problem of loud gaming notebooks, NVIDIA released a technology called WhisperMode. WhisperMode launched alongside NVIDIA's Max-Q design notebooks earlier this year, but it will work with any notebook enabled with an NVIDIA GTX 1060 or higher. This software solution aims to limit noise and power consumption of notebooks by restricting the frame rate of your game to a reasonable compromise of performance, noise, and power levels. NVIDIA has profiled over 400 games to find this sweet spot and added profiles for those games to WhisperMode technology.
WhisperMode is enabled through the NVIDIA GeForce Experience application.
From GFE, you can also choose to "Optimize games for WhisperMode." This will automatically adjust settings (in-game) to complement the frame rate target control of WhisperMode.
If you want to adjust the Frame Rate Target, that must be done in the traditional NVIDIA Control Panel and is done on a per app basis. The target can be set at intervals of 5 FPS from 30 to the maximum refresh of your display. Having to go between two pieces of software to tweak these settings seems overly complex and hopefully some upcoming revamp of the NVIDIA software stack might address this user interface falacy.
To put WhisperMode through its paces, we tried it on two notebooks - one with a GTX 1070 Max-Q (the MSI GS63VR) and one with a GTX 1080 Max-Q (the ASUS ROG Zephyrus). Our testing consisted of two games, Metro: Last Light and Hitman. Both of these games were run for 15 minutes to get the system up to temperature and achieve sound measurements that are more realistic to extended gameplay sessions. Sound levels were measured with our Extech 407739 Sound Level Meter placed at a distance of 6 inches from the given notebooks, above the keyboard and offset to the right.

A few months ago at Computex, NVIDIA announced their "GeForce GTX with Max-Q Design" initiative. Essentially, the heart of this program is the use of specifically binned GTX 1080, 1070 and 1060 GPUs. These GPUs have been tested and selected during the manufacturing process to ensure lower power draw at the same performance levels when compared to the GPUs used in more traditional form factors like desktop graphics cards.
In order to gain access to these "Max-Q" binned GPUs, notebook manufacturers have to meet specific NVIDIA guidelines on noise levels at thermal load (sub-40 dbA). To be clear, NVIDIA doesn't seem to be offering reference notebook designs (as demonstrated by the variability in design across the Max-Q notebooks) to partners, but rather ideas on how they can accomplish the given goals.
At the show, NVIDIA and some of their partners showed off several Max-Q notebooks. We hope to take a look at all of these machines in the coming weeks, but today we're focusing on one of the first, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus.
|ASUS ROG Zephyrus (configuration as reviewed)
|Intel Core i7-7700HQ (Kaby Lake)
|NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1080 with Max-Q Deseign (8GB)
|24GB DDR4 (8GB Soldered + 8GBx2 DIMM)
|15.6-in 1920x1080 120Hz G-SYNC
512GB Samsung SM961 NVMe
|HD Webcam
|Thunderbolt 3
4 x USB 3.0
Audio combo jack
|50 Wh Battery, 230W AC Adapter
|378.9mm x 261.9mm x 17.01-17.78mm (14.92" x 10.31" x 0.67"-0.70")
4.94 lbs. (2240.746 g)
|Windows 10 Home
|$2700 - Amazon.com
As you can see, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus has the specifications of a high-end gaming desktop, let alone a gaming notebook. In some gaming notebook designs, the bottleneck comes down to CPU horsepower more than GPU horsepower. That doesn't seem to be the case here. The powerful GTX 1080 GPU is paired with a quad-core HyperThread Intel processor capable of boosting up to 3.8 GHz.

Computex 2017: Acer Predator Triton 700 Gaming Laptop with NVIDIA GeForce GTX Max-Q Design
Subject: Mobile | May 30, 2017 - 12:37 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: Triton 700, Predator, nvidia, notebook, max-q, laptop, GTX 1080, geforce, gaming, computex 2017, acer
Acer has introduced the Predator Triton 700 gaming laptop, which boasts a very thin and light design as it is built to NVIDIA's newly-announced Max-Q specifications. This allows the Triton to house a "standard-voltage" Intel Core i7 processor (overclockable, no less) and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU.
"The Predator Triton 700 utilizes Max-Q, NVIDIA's innovative approach to designing the world's thinnest, fastest, and quietest gaming laptops. Max-Q, an integral part of NASA's mission to launch man into space, is defined as the point at which the aerodynamic stress on a rocket in atmospheric flight is maximized. Thus, the design of the rocket is precision-engineered around Max-Q. NVIDIA has applied a similar philosophy to designing gaming laptops, enabling Acer to build laptops that are thinner with more GPU performance of previous generation products."
Storage is just as impressive as the CPU/GPU tandem, with dual NVMe PCIe drives in RAID-0, just in case you would like to experience double to the speed of the fastest available type of solid-state storage (the benchmarks will probably be astonishing). Other specs include a 15.6 FHD display with NVIDIA G-SYNC, memory support for up to 32GB 2400 MHz DDR4, Killer DoubleShot Pro networking, and Thunderbolt 3.
The design of the Predator Triton 700 is somewhat unusual for a laptop, with a mechanical keyboard that sits flush with the front edge of the palm rest, and a touch pad positioned above. But this is no ordinary touch pad, as Acer explains:
"A large Corning® Gorilla® Glass plate above the keyboard serves as a window into the notebook's cooling system, showcasing the AeroBlade™ 3D Fan and five heat pipes, and also functions as a Precision Touchpad."
The Predator Triton 700 gaming laptop will be available beginning in August with an MSRP of $2999.

Santa Cruz, California
12,400 sf
Completed in 2012
LEED Gold
The National Marine Sanctuary Program, the City of Santa Cruz, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) teamed to develop the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS) Exploration Center located in the active Beach Boardwalk area of Santa Cruz, California. This sanctuary is a federally protected marine area offshore of California's central coast, encompassing 276 miles of shoreline and 6,094 square miles of ocean. The Exploration Center provides approximately 350,000 visitors annually a unique hands-on introduction to the diverse ecosystem of California's central coast and encourages stewardship of the ocean and shoreline.
The Center, which is free to the public, attracts visitors to come, explore and learn in the vibrant "amusement park" atmosphere of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. The transparent and highly interactive interpretive center has five primary program elements: exhibit space, classroom, administrative offices, gift shop and building support. The dynamic building form and materials were inspired by California coastal architecture and natural forms, such as wave crests and shells, to attract the public into the exhibit and educational spaces.

This has been the hardest month I have ever lived in my life. My love of my life, my high school sweetheart, who found me online only five years ago...my dear sweet and funny husband of four and a half years was killed by a drunk driver 33 days ago. My life is upside down and I am in a world of hurting.
I have no desire to paint, draw, or do any artwork. I see no point, since we were artists together. Dealing with all the "responsibilities" surrounding his death, plus taking care of my elderly father with dementia, (he was in a respite care facility until September 22), have zapped me as well. I have to settle his estate now, so I cannot even think of working in my studio. Nor do I have any clue when I will want to work in it.
So for now, whatever you see on this webpage is all I have for artwork. I hope you enjoy it. I am posting below just one of the many little drawings my husband use to do. Take care.
