Optimizing Mac OS
It's no secret that over time, the work of a "workhorse" may slow down, some very seriously - but this is not a reason to scold another update of the operating system, or immediately get a stash and run to the store for a new Mac! Just need to clean up and clean the correct gadget. Here are a few reasons that can slow down Mac OS X and ways to solve common problems.
Firstly, it is desirable that you understand what you are doing and "fixing" is not turned into "dancing with a tambourine," so everything described here is devoid of shamanism and can be repeated with a standard set of OS commands. But since I'm a lazy person, I prefer to use graphical shells and programs, preferring to not honestly pay for them (ie free), and with rare exceptions, buying them for a reasonable price.
First of all, you need to check the disk for errors in the structure of the disk itself and the system volume. Naturally, "Disk Utility" will help here, the first help section is to check the disk. Note that the disk is checked when the physical disk is selected on the right, and to scan the volume, you must select (select) the volume (in general, Macintosh HD), these are two different checks and you will have to reboot from the external media and fix them the same disk utility! I recommend checking the disks periodically, for example once a month - this will insure you against many problems!
We will check and, if necessary, restore the "access rights" to the files.
The Mac OS stores the ACL (acces control list) templates and symbolic links by default, and also, if the developer provides their own, then so do they.
So for example breaking a simple link / tmp -> private / tmp can lead to system inoperability, and system references are a lot! Well, you will not be able to sit for 24 hours and restore them plus ACL!
But also other programs are setting their own! Inquisitors can make a list, which is set for example by the package Adobe Master Collections - believe them not one dozen, but if anyone violates, both applications and plugins can stop running.
Therefore, I set the restoration of "access rights" with the help of disk utility in second place.
Why else might this procedure be necessary? Yes, even after installing the "update" or the program using the installation package. All because sometimes even Apple makes mistakes in the implementation of the "installer", so that others are forgivable ... The fact is that the installer, on request, gets root privileges and access to the root, and there ... So that checking and recovery "access rights" is not just fun.
Make sure that only those programs that we really need are loaded.
Unnecessary simply delete by clicking on the "-" (minus).
Less loaded garbage - more free memory faster computer.
Optimized the load of programs - update the cache of the downloaded programs!
In the terminal window:
sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force
... or it can be done in any specialized program such as Onyx ...
This command will rebuild links to the used libraries in the "download cache" and remove invalid references to deleted or corrupted libraries.
Attention! The first reboot will take place a little longer than usual because the boot will rebuild and initialize the cache, but then you will avoid many problems.
Run the system scripts: Daily, Weekly, Montly
In the terminal window:
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
... or it can be done in any specialized program such as Onyx ...
It's not a secret that the computer is not always on, so almost certainly when the system "decided" to execute these scripts - your MacBook could for example sleep with a closed lid, could it be? But by default they are performed at 3:15 in the morning.
And what do these scripts do?
Well, not to go into details - delete (overwrite) old system logs and update some system databases (for example, locate and whatis). In any case - "a woman with a cart - a mare easier."
Let's check the integrity of pref files
Violated remove and reinstall if necessary program.
... this can be done in any specialized program such as Onyx ...
At the same time, I usually delete the rest of the caches - fonts, print queue, browsers. Also because of the rational use of space and the minimization of errors during work. Especially - it's important for those who like to install, and then clean up programs (for example, trial).
Get rid of unnecessary code and extra languages
I usually use CleanMyMac, but there are also free analogs in the AppStore. Although if you want and diligence you can and manually, but I'm lazy and for many years I have been entrusting this tedious work to special programs - otherwise why would I need a computer?
Rebuild the Spotlight index
I work a lot with photos, videos and texts, which I clean up on the server as necessary - therefore maintenance of the actual Spotlight index - for me it's speed of work too.
In the terminal window:
sudo mdutil -E /
sudo mdutil -i on /
But before that I recommend changing (checking) the settings in "System Settings" and removing unnecessary folders from the indexing directory (system settings-> spotlight-> privacy). Indexing will be more compact and will exclude garbage.
Important! Do not turn off your Mac before the indexing is complete, otherwise the indexing may start from the beginning.
Time Machine
Very useful utility and very recommended for use.
But think, do you really need a "continuous" backup - in fact at this time both the processor and the network connection are used, which somewhat distracts the system from your tasks and needs.
I for example copy only on the schedule (at the weekend at 12 o'clock in the afternoon), and for setting the schedule - I use the old program
If the screen freezes, and when dragging the window appear artifacts?
But this is all because your video card is forced to take on an "unbearable burden"! In Mac OS X, the entire desktop (Desktop) is stored in the memory of the video card - that's why setting "order on the desktop" will noticeably ease the load on your graphics subsystem. So finish cleaning up the desk - first rake out the Desktop!
Just all the folders (well, or maximally clean) from Desktop to another place in your home directory. By the way - this will make life easier for McBuck, working on the battery and on a more "weak" card, and will reduce errors when switching graphics cards.
For the lazy type of me - there is a wonderful program
The Finder opens files for a long time
You have mounted a network drive, go to the directory where your photos of vacation lie in the amount of 500 pieces (and what - fotik then digital!) And instead of the list of files with anguish look at the "wheel of fortune" - a familiar situation?
And all because by default the Finder wants to show you the "miniatures" of your files instead of the icons. To avoid excruciatingly long waiting - we press "CMD J" or in the menu "view-> show parameters of a kind" we remove a daw from the point "to show a kind of icons"
Voila - in front of you just icons or a list of files without thumbnails and waiting for you! Well, you can also click the button "Use as standard", but then all the newly created folders will look the same, and on local disks, too ... Although ... maybe this makes sense .It should be noted that removing this tick in one viewing mode - you do not automatically remove it in other modes !
Her. In the mode of view - "list" or "column" it will also have to be removed!
Well and the last - defragment the disk
This is especially important for those who work with video, photo processing and large archives. The increase in productivity is palpable.

It has been a long established practice to keep maintain application code in version control. Versioning your application code allows you to view changes made by several developers working on the same project. It allows the team to get the latest changes in a consistent and reliable manner. It allows you to return your code to a prior state. It even acts as a safety net for when that day comes when your developer's computer won't turn on.
So, what about your SQL Objects?
In this demo heavy session we will explore the benefits of versioning your SQL Objects and learn how it can enable streamlined database development without sacrificing control and visibility. We'll be using Redgate's SQL Source Control tool for demos, and we'll see how it integrates with your existing version control software to manage your SQL Objects just like application code.

If you are single, divorced, heartbroken, or just dealing with a horror ex; Valentine's Day can be a bit of a flop.
But one viral post about a man's love for his ex-wife on her birthday has reminded us all that a 'relationship' can continue on well after the romance ends.
The post, credited to American dad-of-two Billy Flynn, describes spoiling his ex-wife on her birthday.
"It's my ex-wife's birthday today, so I got up early and brought flowers and cards and a gift over for the kids to give her and helped them make her breakfast," he writes.
"Per usual someone asked me why the hell I still do things for her all the time. This annoys me. So ima break it down for you all."
Flynn then goes on to explain that his actions weren't a romantic gesture towards his ex-wife, but to set an example for his two young sons.
"I'm raising two little men," he says.
"The example I set for how I treat their mom is going to significantly shape how they see and treat women and affect their perception of relationships. I think even more so in my case because we are divorced. So if you aren't modeling good relationship behavior for your kids, get your shit together. Rise above it and be an example. This is bigger than you."
Cripes, what a DUDE.
ICYMI: Is parenthood bad for creativity? Post continues after video…
Mr Flynn, we reckon you might have pipped Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin at the post for 'classiest divorce'.
It's a refreshing change from the traditional narrative of divorce being a breakdown of love and respect between people, even when they are parents.
The responses from fellow Facebook users was massive: the post has been shared over 342,000 times, and has 9,600+ comments.
"I hated my ex but when our boys were little they had no idea," wrote one woman.
"We kept it friendly – as the boys got older they formed their own opinion based on their father's actions/inactions. They are good men and treat women well and I am proud as hell of them!"
"Wow. That is really big of you and I mean that in all sincerity," wrote another woman.
"If more divorced people could get along like you and your former spouse, I think we'd have fewer messed up kids!"
The concept of maintaining a peaceful, respectful, and yes - even loving - relationship with his ex-wife is one that clearly has resonated with many people.
Flynn ended his post with a beautiful reminder for all parents:
"Raise good men. Raise strong women. Please. The world needs them, now more than ever."

Sarah & Sean are married!!! These two caught the perfect weather up in Oswego at the beginning of July this year. I met up with Sarah and the girls at Running With Scissors (awesome name, right?) so that they could get their hair and makeup done. Finally, we headed to the house that Sarah grew up in so that the girls could get ready before we headed to the church to get these two married! Sarah & Sean's family and friends absolutely packed the chapel at the Church of the Resurrection in Oswego for their ceremony.
Following our quick family and bridal party photo session, Sarah & Sean were welcomed into the Oswego Elk's lodge to a roaring applause before a gorgeous plated dinner. Their band, Allegro, played some awesome tunes to get the party going, and kept everyone dancing for the rest of the night! Congratulations you two!
A side note- I headed out to New Hampshire, where Sarah & Sean current live and work, for their engagement photos last summer. This was my first time meeting the couple, and I was greeted with a warm welcome from both of them. Sarah even had a care package all ready for me to make my stay easier. Take note, future brides & grooms - she packed me: water, Kind bars, Advil, M&M's, Belvita snacks, gum, almonds, and a multitude of other goodies... Thanks!!! .... We shot at 7 different locations, and even had lunch, dinner & coffee together. All in all it was an awesome trip!
Sarah & Sean's vendors were:
Hair: Running with Scissors
Makeup: Krysta Gallagher
Dresses: Blush Bridal - Somersworth, NH
Tuxes: Men's Warehouse

Master this one thing to bring back the honeymoon phase
It's probably one of the top three questions I get asked: "How do I jazz up a loveless romance?"
We've all felt the butterflies and the undeniable chemistry of a new love. You remember when you made the doves weep a little? And yet, you have ended up in a place where the level of sizzle is laughable.
Fret no more, my dear bliss enthusiast. The Bliss Doctor has both the cause and the solution to your love maladies. Actually, it's far from complicated. There is one very simple reason why passion goes passé. It is called expectation.
Let me explain. When we first meet someone, we are attracted to their beauty and magnetism; we are curious about who they are and keen to go on the journey to discover them. Humans are just like landscapes: when we first meet them, we see a picture, and if we like what we see, we are enticed to jump into the scene and explore their mind, their emotions, and last but not least, their sexuality. Each and every one of us has a different and unique sexuality. It's like a wonderful new country or culture we get to explore.
The purpose of intimacy, in one sense, is to allow someone to "enter you." Our job is to determine if it's safe to enter AND whether it's safe to be vulnerable enough to let someone in. Let's face it: it's not always a good idea to wander without caution into a country or intimacy. On the flip side, our experiences from the past can paint the lens through which we "in-to-me-see" and project a fearful outlook.
Often, both people have a combination of hope and fear when they meet a person of interest. And let's admit it: if we are even slightly interested in pursuing each other, we start the grand process of "negotiating": How can you protect my heart from the inevitable hurt that is part of every relationship I have been through thus far? And what do I need to give you in exchange for it?
This negotiation of "steps to take" to protect each other most often happens in a silent conversation we have in our minds, although it is talked about in some form or another within the interaction. (Unless you are a "queen suppressor," then you don't talk about anything and keep everything bottled up. More articles coming up for you soon; we are going to tackle that, baby!)
These negotiations continue long after the relationship is in full swing. Some are talked about, some run in the background like a continuous tape without needing to be expressed. In either case, it inevitably goes on. Each person EXPECTS the other to do certain things that will make them feel safe about entering intimacy. In the start, we are naturally inclined to do what it takes to make each other feel safe. Dopamine helps. It's the pleasure hormone and comes out to play more when there is "newness" and "novelty" involved. When the newness fades, so does the dopamine. That's when the oxytocin, the love hormone, comes in handy.
Oxytocin is the love that brings sustainability, safety and, in my opinion, genuine intimacy. The intimacy of oxytocin, in my experience, is felt more in relationships that have a foundation of deep friendship. The kind that makes you feel you can trust your friend and love them in an open, balanced and long-lasting way.
So, here it is: the bliss medicine for diminishing passion.
Press the "reset" on expectation. Remember when you first met and you could not "presume" that they will do what you want them to do? Go back to that way of thinking. Enter at your own risk. There is something about risk-taking that we find incredibly sexy. But also, it's taking responsibility for your own fears and trepidations. We make our partners carry the weight of our fears and then wonder why he/she shows up tired to bed.
The easiest way to "reset" expectation is to activate the friendship. Friendship is all about being there and supporting your friend no matter the circumstance. It's about being there to listen and hear, and surrender to their needs as they do the same for you. For some reason we tend to do these things better within the framework of friendship than in the framework of a relationship. If you don't have too many friends in your life right now, think back to a friend from your past. They hold the same keys.
Sorry, ladies, but I have to tell you this one. Girl, you gotta love your man! We are all guilty of this, but our directness and need to share and express our feelings can look more like bitching and complaining to the unsuspecting male creature. Unfortunately, I say this from experience ;-). Any form of negativity expressed re: the hot topic "sexuality" is the best way to hang a metaphorical "out of service" sign on their belt buckle. We've all tried that one so many times and it never helps. A different kind of experience tells me that a li'l bit of positivity works wonders in the love and the sex department.

Kiosk Management
Banks, financial institutions and insurance companies have started deploying passbook printing kiosks and multi-function kiosks as part of their eLobby initiatives to enhance customer convenience and expand transaction hours. Operational efficiency goes up as a result for these institutions. Institutions are increasingly using such kiosks to offer their customers facilities such as cash/cheque deposit, passbook printing, balance enquiry, statement printing and request options.
MAXIMUS has a tested and proven solution in the form of KSHAN. Built on the solid switching framework of ASTRA, this kiosk management application is a self-service utility for driving transactions and information displays on kiosks. KSHAN can be easily interfaced with any CBS of the back-end institution.
KSHAN has three components: the central server application, the kiosk agent application and the remote monitoring tool. The central server application is powerful enough to connect to and manage very large number of kiosks. Sophisticated programming techniques have been used to regulate transaction queues and monitor health status of the terminals. Messaging between the central server application, which essentially acts as a middleware, and the back-end line-of-business system follows ISO 8583 convention.
Identification of the customer at the kiosk is possible through a variety of options, such as customer ID and password, barcode on the passbook, ATM card and PIN or Account Number especially for cheque deposit.
The MAXIMUS solution is designed keeping in mind the need for minimizing network traffic and maintaining terminal connectivity.
Application Features
- Cheque Deposit/Truncation
- Funds Transfer
- Bill Payments
- Passbook Update
- Stop Cheque Request
- Cheque Book Request
- Balance Enquiry
- Account Statement
- Mini Statement
- Cheque Status
- Internet Banking
- Information Display
- Customer Feedback
- Improved operational efficiency for banks, financial institutions and insurance companies
- 24×7 service facility to customers
- Wider expansion of customer touchpoints
- Channel for disseminating advertorial and promotional information
- Facility for generating business leads and product demand
- Supports range of financial and non-financial transactions

That was a very moving post. Thank you for the link Miss Katie!ReplyDelete
It means sometimes we have "house guests", our mama fosters the ones that need some (or lots of) extra care. Most of the time they go back to the shelter to be adopted but sometimes some of us stay here furever.ReplyDelete
That is a wonderful article, thanks for the link Katie.
Kitty Kisses,

In order to release its properties, the best ways to assume it would be by herbal tea, fresh plant juice, powder and lemon balm water. Its usage is usually prescribed when in the need of antibacterial, soothing and purifying products. For the right posology and quantity, always ask for help to your herbal specialists or read the instructions on the labels. Lemon balm can also be used as an external helper for headaches and migraines.
Herbal teas for lemon balm have to be prepared leaving its leaves boil in water prior to be filtered. A longer process it is requested instead, for the preparation of fresh plant juice that needs a specific technique and would see its usage getting wasted having no preservatives. When found in the powder form, lemon balm is presented in capsules that should be taken with water. Lemon balm water is usually used as an external solution that can be sprayed or nuked in the air in order to absorb its properties. Lemon balm mother tincture has to have a label with its main properties and usage methods, so ask for help to your herbalist if you do not want to abuse or misuse this specific plant and its positive elements.

Mr. Mysterious and the horse from nowhere
NEW ORLEANS - On the one hand, they have combined to make one start in the last 22 months. On the other, they have combined to win 10 of their 12 career races, and both were Group 1 winners during their former lives as European turf stars.
They are Beat Hollow and Suances, two California-based horses shrouded in mystery who have shipped to New Orleans for a start Sunday in the $700,000 Explosive Bid Handicap.
The pair was joined on a flight early Thursday morning by two other Californians, Sarafan and Designed for Luck. Their form is easier to gauge: Sarafan finished second March 2 in the Grade 2 Frank Kilroe Handicap, with Designed for Luck a head behind in third.
If we know to some degree what those two are, there is little telling how good Beat Hollow and Suances may be. As a 3-year-old in 2000, Beat Hollow won 3 of 4 starts, including the Group 1 Gran Prix de Paris, and even his lone loss was good, a third place finish behind Sinndar and Sakhee in the Epsom Derby. But after his Group 1 win in late June 2000, Beat Hollow did not race again until Jan. 31, when he showed up in an allowance race at Santa Anita for trainer Bobby Frankel, winning by a length.
"He ran well that day," Frankel said. "He was trapped, and when he got out he did what he needed to do to win. I'm hoping he can be as good as he was before."
Frankel said he was not certain what kept Beat Hollow from racing for so long. Frankel got the horse in September and nursed him through some minor problems before bringing him back to the races. "We gave him some time, and he's been perfect since then," said Frankel.
While Beat Hollow is a product of the powerful Juddmonte Farms, his breeder and owner, Suances came from nowhere. Suances began his career in Spain, far from the major European racing centers, but burst out of obscurity to win a pair of graded stakes in France, the last of which was a six-length win in the Grade 1 Prix Jean Prat.
Red Baron's Barn purchased him privately after that win and brought him to California to train with Darrell Vienna. Suances was ready for his American debut later that summer, and shipped from California to Arlington Park for the American Derby. But the day he was to have run, Suances had an accident in the quarantine barn, badly slicing his leg on a steel door. And then Suances, too, vanished from the racing scene.
"It's been a long time, baby," Vienna said this week. "He sliced some ligaments in his leg. It was in an area that would bend, and it would break open again. He missed maybe a year."
Finally, Suances's leg healed to the point that exercise didn't damage it, and Vienna was able to begin training him again. That was several months ago, and Suances has done nothing since to suggest he can't return to his 3-year-old form. Suances has outworked the fastest dirt horses in Vienna's barn while giving the appearance, Vienna said, of cruising at a high gallop.
"He looks like a big locomotive," Vienna said. "I don't see any indication from his works that his talent and willingness have diminished at all. His works say he could be any kind of horse."
Vienna is not even worried about Suances coming back from a 22-month layoff. "I could have kept him here for an overnight race," Vienna said. "But I'm not concerned about his fitness, and I'm not concerned about his quality. It will just come down to racing luck and how he handles the surface."
Hap happy to be here
While the four Californians bound for the Explosive Bid arrived here just before noon Thursday, the East Coast contingent, headed by Hap, spent Thursday morning at Fair Grounds. Hap was out for an easy gallop before the 8 a.m. renovation break and appears to have handled shipping well.
"He was a little strong this morning, but he shipped yesterday and didn't train," said Leana Willaford, an assistant to trainer Bill Mott.
The Explosive Bid field, with riders, is shaping up this way: Beat Hollow (Alex Solis); Candid Glen (E.J. Perrodin); Chorwon (Robby Albarado); Designed for Luck (Victor Espinoza); Even the Score (Donnie Meche); Fan Club's Mister (Frank Lovato); Full of Wonder (Willie Martinez); Hap (Pat Day); North East Bound (Richard Migliore); Northcote Road (Larry Melancon); Pisces (Roger Velez); Sarafan (Corey Nakatani); and Suances (David Flores).
Mystery Giver and Nat's Big Party are on the fence.
* The 3-year-old colt French Assault still has not been able to return to training and is highly unlikely to make the Arkansas Derby next month. Trainer Keith Desormeaux had hoped to redirect French Assault to the Arkansas Derby after he was forced to scratch the colt from the Louisiana Derby after French Assault became ill two days before the race. French Assault, who is suffering from an intestinal disorder, has improved, but not to the point that Desormeaux feels he can train the horse.

Over the weekend, I received my newest Mundo de Unas stamping polishes. I decided to swatch them all, so I could see what sort of colors I had to work with, and figured I might not be the only one interested in them! I swatched all of the colors over both black and white and kept color groups together.
All of the polishes stamped well. You will notice a few places where they seem stringy — that is actually cotton. With all of the swatching and polish removal, I was fighting a losing battle against a cotton invasion. However, the stringy-nonsense does not affect the color, which is quite apparent in each picture. And you can still tell how crisp the polishes stamp, as the stringy-crap is obvious where it wrought havoc.
Also – I put the photos into collages, to try and cut this post down from an absolute monster size!
So, let's get started!
From left to right on the nail: Iris, Lavender, Iris, Lavender. I was surprised that I did not have any staining issues with these. These colors are pretty similar, though. Unless you are a shade fanatic (like me), you could probably make do with one.
Left to right: Light Gray, Holland Blue, Light Gray, Holland Blue. Holland Blue is pretty similar to the blues above, as well. It is noticeably lighter, but, again, if you are watching your bottom line, you can probably make do with only one of the three.
Left to right: Green, Avocado, Green, Avocado. I really like both shades, but need to compare Avocado to Lemon Tree (which I purchased in my first MdU order and LOVE) to see how similar they are.
Left to Right: Forest, Military Green, Forest, Military Green. Both stamped quite nicely. Military Green shows over the black, but is not super vibrant. I could definitely see a beautiful fall mani with it, thought…maybe over a rich brown. That color definitely has my wheels turning.
From left to right: (pretty obvious…) Mexican Pink, Aqua, Mexican Pink, Aqua. Fun, bright colors! I love them both over both black and white.
From left to right: Old Pink, Metallic Purple, Old Pink, Metallic Purple. Both are metallic shades and lovely. If you were going to pick only one, I would definitely go with Old Pink…it stole my heart!
From left to right: Copper, Brown, Copper, Brown. Brown is definitely more subtle over the black, but like Military Green, I could see using for an earthy mani over a hunter green or something similar.
From left to right: Silver, Light Gold, Silver, Light Gold. There are somewhat similar, but different enough that I am glad I bought both. There are some other metallic shades that I may purchase before too long, as well.
From left to right: Yellow, Orange, Yellow, Orange. Both of these are so vibrant! I am quite happy with both.
So, those are my most recent acquisitions. Although I have used the ones from my first purchase and used several for the first stamping comparison post, I have not swatched them just to swatch. So, that may be coming soon, too!
Thanks for stopping by!

A single-car crash early Wednesday involving a "high rate of speed" in Key West killed a 20-year-old woman and sent her passenger, 26, to a Miami hospital by helicopter, police said.
Anya Semenyshena, a native of the Ukraine who moved to Key West last winter, died after she lost control of a 2008 Infinity and smashed first into a light pole and then a palm tree in the 1600 block of North Roosevelt Blvd., according to police spokeswoman Alyson Crean.
Predrag Maric, also of Key West, was severely injured in the 4 a.m. crash and airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
The crash closed a stretch of North Roosevelt — the city's main thoroughfare that turns into a four-lane road farther down — from Palm to Eisenhower Avenue for nearly eight hours as Key West police traffic homicide officers investigated.
Other than saying it was related to speeding, police did not release further details, including whether alcohol was a factor.
Semenyshena's friends and co-workers at the Kennedy Cafe in Key West mourned the loss of a young woman they described as bold, beautiful and kind while some started raising money to pay for a funeral and to send her body back home.
"We contacted her mother and she asked us to transport her body back to Ukraine," wrote Sean King, also known as Shukhrat, on a GoFundMe page called "Anya's funeral and transportation."
The page, which lists a goal of $20,000, raised nearly $11,000 in about five hours on Wednesday.
"If you guys could help us to get the funds together, for her burial, whatever you can, so we can safely send her to her final journey and lay her to rest," King wrote.
Originally from Mykolayiv, a city in the southern Ukraine, Semenyshena sought work and a new life in Key West in December 2015, according to her Facebook page, which has photos of her enjoying beaches, a swimming canal and kayaking around the Keys.
"She was very kind, really nice and full of energy," Bek Umarov wrote on Facebook, where others posted condolences, several in Russian. "Rest in Peace."
"It's a pity," Olga Golubeva wrote in Russian. "This young and beautiful. All life could be ahead, but no luck."

In the wake of last weekend's attack at the Pulse nightclub, the internet, and my social media feeds have turned into a cesspool of bigotry, hate, and Islamophobia. The LGBT community has seen the worst mass shooting in US history directly targeting us. The LGBT community still stands united and strong. However, we see this divide from the cisgender and heterosexual community. Here are the three talking points that I have seen so far. The first is the mass Islamophobia, followed by pro – assault support, and finally, praise that "perverts" were killed!
1. Islamophobia
Why? The absolute first thing that comes to mind when I see people stating demeaning and racist things towards Muslim people. Has no one learned from past events? Take the second world war for instance, who did we fear? The Germans and Japanese and what happened? We rounded up all of our Japanese citizens and tossed them into internment camps! People were racist and dehumanized the Japanese during this period. We are seeing the mirror image of this today but instead of racial fear its anyone who is Muslim or looks like they could be Muslim. Why, are we letting this happen again, why are we going down this road? How long before our government tries to put Muslims in America in internment camps without hiding it in the shadows like they do now? None of this is right, so please cut the shit.
2. Oh, Assualt Rifles……
The second amendment says we have the right to bear arms. That is fantastic and great, so you can all defend yourselves against the government and what not. We need to stop and think about what the forefathers had in mind when they wrote this. Do you think they ever planned on seeing firearms that had the power to take down crowds in minutes, even seconds? Somehow I do not believe that they had this in mind.
I see the same argument time and time again from former friends; The AR-15 is not an assault rifle it is a semi-auto rifle. Yes! You are right about this, do you want a gold star of approval? The facts are, however, that it's semi-auto it can carry a large clip. It is as easy as just squeezing the trigger, and it will pop off rounds. It's not a full auto, but you know what? It's fast enough to cut down large groups of people quickly! So stop defending it already!
Why do the American people insist on defending weapons that can kill so many so quickly? Even the most responsible gun owner is only responsible until that responsibility is compromised. What makes your gun collection more valuable than the lives of 50 people? In the wake of this massacre, you defend that gun and your rights simply because the second amendment says you can. Ever stopped to think that the second amendment is outdated and faulted to a point? 50 people are dead and countless others injured by one man with a gun. You cannot claim to have sympathy when you are unwilling to put down your own excessively deadly weapons! I am sorry but you just can't.
Do civilians need to own weapons that have the capacity to wipe out so many lives so fast? Why? In case they have to defend themselves from someone else with an AR-15 or some other semi-auto or assault rifle? If that is your reasoning, let me tell you that makes absolutely no sense at all. Misguided ideas that are askew and deeply flawed are the ideas that are putting people's lives at risk. Or perhaps you are thinking that criminals will find a way to get guns like that anyhow so you would need the same kind of weapons for self-defense anyway! As it stands now they might easily obtain one, but at the same time, restricting their sale and manufacture will most definitely make it harder for a common thug to find one. Your local Walmart or neighborhood gun shop won't have them. Sadly, it won't stop criminals from getting them entirely, but it will make it a lot harder for them to find by reducing the amount of them available on the streets. So why don't we do this? Place the necessary restrictions on assault rifles and semi-auto rifles that can mow down large crowds of people? We have been doing it your way for so long now, NRA, and your way has resulted in 133 mass shootings in the United States this year alone. Let's just try taking these deadly things off the market and see how we do.
3. "Perverts" Were Killed!
The news is traveling around the internet like wildfire, news of a preacher in Sacramento California who is saying he is happy perverts were killed. In fact, he wants to see all these perverts put up aginst a wall and shot by a firing squad! This man is doing nothing but inspiring hate and encouraging people to go out and harm more LGBT people.
People wonder why the LGBT community seems so angry so I will let you in on a secret that is all over Google and the news. It's that P.C., liberal thing you see on Facebook, the thing you consider garbage and, therefore, infringing on your rights. Yeah, that thing you know, called equal rights we. Equal rights we have been fighting so hard to gain. It's not wanting to be treated like sub-human, 6th class citizens.
We have grown tired of the family dog having more rights and better health care than we do. All of the heterosexual cisgender people out there that don't understand this, I am talking to you. How are we taking away your rights? How? When we are murdered for just living our lives, for holding hands with our life partner or partners. We are harrassed daily and live in fear of assault and our very lives just trying to survive in your rigid box of religious and right-wing political norms, for trying to survive in your world.
How many more of us need to be sacrificed to the god in the clouds before you are willing to try something new? Equal rights are what we want, they are what we deserve. The same rights that everyone gets when they fall into the regular binary box of what society deems normal. Society, in general, needs to stop questioning us and telling us we are doing it wrong. Stop thinking that the rights of a few are not as important as the rights of many.
Stop telling us "All Lives Matter", stop using it to devalue our struggles and justify your binary normalization. We do not live by your binary norms. I am not sorry about this, rather, I am tired of my friends & family being murdered or committing suicide. It's your world that makes it too hard for us to live, that sometimes forces us to give up, or even worse takes our lives from us. I am sick of being able to talk to one friend one day and then learning they committed suicide or been murdered hours after I've spoken to them. You do not live in our world, and you might be a guest sometimes, but you don't live it every day. You do not understand it and right now it feels as though the world outside of LGBT isn't even listening to a damn thing that we are saying! So again, I am not sorry if you see us as angry, we have just had enough of this shit.Tweet #TransHopeUnited

Convenient, Easy To Learn, Hard To Be Professional With
As veteran DAW users, we probably want these three things in our software and hardware.
- stability,
- intuitiveness, and…
- expansiveness.
Presonus Studio One 3 is probably not your first choice in this matter.
But if you're just a newcomer wanting something useful, this is the DAW for you.
Studio One 3 uses a powerful audio engine that has 64-bit architecture. This is particularly useful for large projects, common for most Studio One 3 users.
The best part is its file browser.
It sits in an area that would be intuitive for users.
Traditional DAWs require you to press shortcut keys to open new files or you need to open an external browser to get your files inside the DAW.
For Presonus, a stay-on-top browser allows you to access all your music loops and drag them to different locations.
This quickly becomes second nature, which could be part of your composition workflow.
If you're creating loops, you could save them and include all the automation and equalization from your work.
You could then access them using the file browser and drag them to create new arrangements and more.
Some Powerful Stuff
Presonus Studio One 3 allows it to create powerful, realistically-sampled instruments, which from where I tested, were definitely worth the hype from my pro-Presonus Studio One friends.
Mai Tai, for example, is a great plugin that is quite useful for creating bass sounds and doing some electronic music.
The Studio One engine allows it to change its base character, essentially transforming it to create unique timbres.
I've actually re-created a Moog-sounding synthesizer in one experiment.
You also have complete LFO controls, which would remind you of why analog synths back in the day were so awesome.
This is possible with Presence XT, which offers disk streaming for large samples, articulation key-switching, scripting and custom controls.
The large samples part, yep, you get it why Mai Tai and the other plugins are quite awesome.
The only downside is that the plugins are visually unappealing.
If you've seen independently-made plugins, they were designed to look better and become intuitive.
With Presonus' basic set, it looks like you're working with some bricks.
But again, the sound payoff is awesome.
Upon Using
The color scheme and interface design is something intuitive, like the file browser we mentioned.
The color-scheme is also helpful if you're using the DAW live and during performance.
The arrangement window is useful to build and rearrange your songs.
Move entire song sections with drag-and-drop.
Use the Track Inspector to find sections of the song that you need.
Also, Studio One can now record multi-channel tracks.
You could even use it for surround mixing if you want to, which is why it rose to the top 5 favorite DAWs of 2014.
Final Words.
What Presonus Studio One 3 lacks in appearance and beauty it makes up for some great personality and usability.
With a pretty fire-on file browser that comes in handy at your left side, to the great quality of plugins, albeit their limiting controls, it's quite great.
But as a pro, I still find it limiting, but that's just me being hard to be professional with certain DAWs.

Soil health is crucial to the health of our water and food supply. Our global population is expected to grow to more than 9 billion by 2050! How will we grow all that food? With the help of farmers.
Farmers live on the land they farm. They understand the importance of protecting our natural resources. According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, soil is being depleted 18 times faster than it is being built up by nature. Farmers are currently adopting many new and innovative practices to prevent soil erosion in agriculture. The health of our food supply, water, and land depends on it.
Here are four ways farmers are saving our soil and water:
1. Farm fields are covered with plants all year long, even in the winter. It's called cover cropping and it is amazing for soil.
After farmers harvest their main crop, like corn, in the fall – they plant cover crops that grow through the winter on the same field. Vermont farmers planted a record-setting 25,727 acres of winter cover crops on more than 2,000 fields in 2016. That's approximately 25 percent of all annual cropland in Vermont and a 58 percent increase in the acres of protective winter cover crops planted in 2015.
Those plants help the soil hold a lot of water and create healthy living organic matter. Research has shown that every one percent increase in organic matter through using cover crops helps the soil to hold 25,000 gallons more water per acre!
Winter cover crops include plant species like winter cereal rye, annual ryegrass, oats, clover, vetch and even radish and turnip.
2. The soil on each field is tested for the nutrient content regularly. Farmers use this data to figure out how much additional nutrients the field needs, in the form of manure, to be healthy.
Farms are required to have nutrient management plans that guide the amount, source, placement and timing of manure on fields. These plans are reviewed by government agencies and environmental experts.
Larry Gervais, of the Gervais Family Farm in Enosburg Falls, VT takes hundreds of soil samples every year to determine what nutrients the soil needs to grow the crops. Sample results are used for the farm's soil nutrient management plan. Larry can then provide the right amount of nutrients to grow healthy crops that in turn feed the cows.
3. Farmers use high-tech equipment to inject manure up to 12-inches underground to feed the soil much-needed nutrients. This prevents nutrients from leaving the field when it rains.
As sustainable agriculture evolves and innovation continues, we need to truly understand the work that is being done to advance the future of farming and protect our environment. Vermont farmers partnered to make the below video to show the public how manure injection works.
4. Dairy farms recycle the water used on the farm many times. They collect rainwater from barns and reuse the water that cools down the milk as water for the cows to drink. After the barn is cleaned, the water is used on the fields. Today, dairy farmers use 65% less water to make the same gallon of milk compared with 1944.
One of the best ways to learn about sustainability on farms is to visit a local farm near you and talk to the farmers who make your food. In Vermont, three farmer non-profit organizations have formed to help farmers and the general public learn more about environmentally friendly practices on farms.
Farmers Watershed Alliance was established in 2006 in Northern Vermont and focuses on farms in Franklin and Grand Isle Counties. In 2016 a total of 10,155 acres of cover crops were planted on these farms.
Champlain Valley Farmer Coalition was established in 2013 and includes farmers in Addison, Chittenden, and Rutland Counties. They planted 9,100 acres of cover crops last year, an increase of more than 30 percent compared to 2015.
Connecticut River Watershed Farmers Alliance, just organized in 2016 and represents farmers in seven Vermont and New Hampshire counties throughout the Connecticut River region.

Where It All Began…New Jersey
Established in 2015, Instagram user Virginia Buechel, aka @buewho wanted to start sharing the beautiful places around her home state of New Jersey. She had followed many other accounts around the country that combined beautiful photography and explorations around different regions. She wanted to create a display of spots around New Jersey that would break through stereotypes and also encourage others to share their own spots. Thus the NJspots Instagram account was born.
"I thought about how people outside of New Jersey view our state, as the 'armpit of America' or only have the vision of the Jersey Shore to represent our residents. But I wanted to change that and get a collection of photos and places that others can discover, explore, and share in New Jersey."
– Virginia Buechel, Founder of #NJspots
Starting A Hashtag Trend – #NJspots
Throughout the months of starting the #NJspots hashtag was shared and tagged more and more every day. Now with over 220,000 tags (as of April 2018) on Instagram it is one of the most used hashtags in New Jersey. Wanting to share special spots and places, the tag took off and is used to share various parks, towns, monuments, and destinations throughout the state.
More Than A Hashtag
As the NJspots Community began to grow larger, our team and ambassadors were also growing. The NJspots movement was becoming much bigger than just a hashtag on Instagram and it turned into a source for inspiration, exploration, and adventure. Our editorial team began to grow larger and more people wanted to share their favorite spots and places to visit in New Jersey. We also established a community of people that met up with our team at meetups across the state to share photos and favorite spots.
Joining Forces With Others
#NJspots is a community for Instagram users and photographers in New Jersey and it is important to us to continue to have close connections with our followers and other New Jersey hubs and local businesses. After all, we are all trying to share the beauty of this state with others, we want to do it together! View Our Partners

Birds of a Feather2nd November 2009
During a lunchtime walk along Westbourne Grove last week I noticed an identity on the side of a taxi that reminded me of something similar we produced at Interstate. The Egyptair logo in question (launched as part of a 2008 rebrand) had a lot in common with a marque we developed for Dubai-based DXB Sports in 2007.— Read more

The World's Best Player… in any Language11th September 2009
In my opinion the words 'global brand' are overused in modern day football and are often taken out of context of what the 'beautiful game' stands for. However, as a designer with a growing interest in Arabic typography it was refreshing to see Real Madrid's recent issue of language specific player shirts.— Read more

Never once in my life would I have thought that I would have this experience. But, indeed, it happened to me anyway! For too long, I have been working way too hard at a boring office job that I never liked. With the ridiculous hours that I have put in in the past, it is a miracle that I managed to get any kind of exercise at all. There is no doubt in my mind that I have paid the price from my health. These long hours are taking the life right out of me. I am currently pushing middle age… and by middle age I mean middle fourties, and I can totally feel my body becoming a bit tired now. We should all give mother nature an applause for saddling us up with these horribly fragile bodies that make us age and get sick all the time. Now in mother nature's defense… I am a tad bit on the heavy side and that's also a bit my fault. I try to hit the gym a few times a week, but I don't always get enough exercise. I do not really like having to put in all that energy if you do not mind me being honest. Living in a very small city, we have only a single gym at our disposal. And it's not exactly a large place. I also do not like the smelly odor that hangs around there.
It was not too long ago that I was looking forward to having multiple weeks off, because I had been saving up some off days. I never like to spread them across the whole year, I like to save up and have them all at once. This last summer, I had almost the whole month of August off, with all my time for myself. I needed to find something fun to do with that deluge of free time I had on my hands. A friend of mine came over for a visit. His name is Frank. And Frank is a sporty person. He has taken up hiking a few years ago. He learned all about it from http://bootbomb.com. And when we were talking, he all of a sudden invited me to go along on a hike. I was thinking to myself that this guy had lost it. I'm way too fat and out of shape. How can I possible hike? I figured he was just yanking my chain. Or that he was just making a joke or something. But I soon realized that he was pretty serious about this.
He had it in his head that he was going to drag me along on a hike and there wasn't anything that I was going to do about it. He is a very convincing person and it did not take him a long time to convince me. I was deathly afraid that I would not be able to keep up, because I'm in much worse shape than he is. I mentioned this to Frank but he told me he doesn't mind if we take a few more breaks than average. He doesn't always feel like straining himself too much, anyway. That sure was a relief. It was like a big burden fell off my shoulders. So after a while, I gave him the green signal he had been wanting to hear from me all along. I was not prepared at all. Nor did I know how you are supposed to prepare for something like this. Frank knew what sort of stuff you need to take with you on such a hike, so he helped me prepare for the trip. The one thing you are going to need for sure, is a good pair of hiking boots. Other than that, you will need extra clothes. You will also need a tent and sleeping bags if you intend to sleep on the trail. And you will also want to take coffee with you, if you just so happen to have a caffeine addiction going on in your life.
Frank and I hit the web and started making a list of all the stuff we wanted to bring. We stumbled across a website call the Boot Bomb and it had a good review on all sorts of hiking boots. We have been browsing the website a bit more and the site turned out to have boat loads of useful information. I took my time to take in the whole site and I have learned much from it. The page I liked the most was the one about the hiking boots, because that is what I was about to do. The webmaster is a guy called Brian and he has much experience with hiking. He has owned many pairs of hiking boots in his life time and he knows all about it. Since I am overweight, I sometimes suffer from plantar fasciitis. And the problem with this condition is that it can get worse when you strain your feet a lot, such as what you do with hiking.
I don't know if you have ever had to deal with this condition, but it certainly sucks pretty bad. Thankfully, there are boots available that will provide the support required in order to manage this condition. It's quite a hassle having to deal with this. You can't be walking around on sore feet your whole life, so you have to do something about it when you still can. You owe it to yourself to take this seriously, or you are going to have an extremely bad time. Being overweight in combination with having to stand up straight for a job I had many years ago, have caused me to develop this little medical problem. I used to help my dad out as a young boy. He would often set up a market stand and sell stuff on the market. All that standing in combination with the heavy weight that was bearing down on my tooties, has given me a mild case of plantar fasciitis over time. It is also a genetic matter. Because my father himself also suffered from this. My mom's family does not have it, so I have my dad to thank for this. Oh well, it's not my dad's fault.
Luckily, my condition is manageable. And I look forward to my upcoming hike with my best friend Frank!

Software development roles supported by VSTS and TFS
If you are a sole developer, or work on a small team, chances are that you participate in many activites—performing tasks associated with issue tracking, feature planning, coding, testing, build, and deployment.
However, if you work within a large organization, you're probably more focused on a specific set of tasks that are traditionally aligned with one or two specific roles, such as software development, project management, and DevOps.
This topic provides a roadmap to support you in quickly coming up to speed on the features and tasks available to you based on the role you perform.
Contributor roles
Team members are contributors who have access to the code base, work item tracking, Agile tools, build pipelines, test tools, and more. If you need to lock down specific areas to a select set of contributors, you can do that through the permission management.
Software developers
Developers use Visual Studio or other tools to develop their applications. They then check in their changes to a Git or TFVC repository hosted in VSTS or TFS. From the web portal or supported IDE, they can view repositories, check history, and more.
- To get started using Git, see one of these resources:
- To get started using TFVC, see one of the following resources:
Project managers
The role of project manager typically encompasses planning the feature set to deliver, setting priorities, and tracking the status of work, code defects, and customer issues. The suite of web-based Agile tools provide PMs with the views and features they need to perform these tasks. All work is captured within a work item. Each work item represents a specific type such as a user story, task, or bug.
- Use the product backlog to quickly define and prioritize user stories, features, and other work items
- Use the sprint backlog and task board to implement Scrum practices
- Use the Kanban board to work with Kanban methods
- Use queries to list and update work items, create status and trend charts, and post charts to dashboards
- Use dashboards to share information, status, and trends with your team or organization
To get started, see Get started with Agile tools to plan and track work.
If you are used to using Excel or Project to plan and track your work, you can still use these tools and integrate with VSTS and TFS. See Bulk modify using Excel and Create your backlog and tasks using Project.
DevOps: builders, testers, and release managers
One of the main advantages to working with VSTS or TFS is the suite of tools and integrated functionality that supports build, testing, and deploying software applications. Here are the main DevOps associated tasks supported by VSTS and TFS:
- Define builds
- Unit test your code
- Run tests with your builds
- Performance test your apps
- Perform exploratory tests
- Define, manage, track, and approve releases
- Deploy applications to Azure, a virtual machine, Docker containers, and more
To get started, see the overviews provided here: Build & Release and Test.
With stakeholder access, anyone within your organization can check project status and provide feedback. Stakeholders can track project priorities and provide direction, feature ideas, and business alignment to a team. They can contribute to plans by adding and modifying work items. They can't, however, contribute to the code base or exercise test tools.
Stakeholder access essentially provides free access to a limited set of feature to project sponsors and supporters. To learn more, see Work as a Stakeholder.
Administrator roles
A distinct advantage to working in VSTS is the reduced overhead of server maintenance. That said, there are still several administrative tasks required to support a collaborative, integrated software development environment
The main tasks are grouped here by membership within a security group or role:
Team administrators
Responsible for configuring team settings which include:
- Backlog and board settings
- Team area(s) and iterations (sprints)
- Team members
- Team dashboards
- Team work item templates
- Team alerts
To get started, see Manage team assets.
Project administrators
Responsible for project level settings, including:
- Area paths and Iteration paths
- Project permissions and repository security
- Customize work tracking objects (TFS only)
- Build agents, pools, and service connections
- Test and release retention policies
Project collection administrators
Responsible for organization or collection-level settings. These include:
- Manage billing
- Add and manage team projects
- Manage collection-level settings and permissions
- Customize work tracking processes
- Install and manage extensions (install custom or Marketplace extensions)
To get started, see Organization Management.
TFS administrators
Responsible for installing, upgrading, and maintaining an on-premises TFS deployment. Tasks include:
- Install TFS
- Update servers running TFS
- Manage database backups
- Server administrative settings and permissions
- Build retention policies
- Add and manage team project collections
To get started, see Server Administration (TFS).

We want customers to know the facts before making a purchase. Please review the bullet points below to ensure that a Clear Vinyl Enclosure is what you are looking for.
Generally, a combination of marine snaps and grommets with L-shaped Screws. We Also use belted ribs that is a tension belt fastened between two fixed points (D-Rings). These belted ribs are not attached to the curtain panels themselves. Under breezy conditions, panels will lean into the ribs for bracing to distribute the wind load. Have a question? We're here to help. Call us at 866-622-0916 or use our Live Chat.
The most common is a "fixed attachment" where by panels are in place for the entire season and then entirely removed during warm months to preserve longevity. They Attach using Velcro, Marine Snaps, and L-screws through grommets.
Don't forget to ask your planner about a "roll up" feature. Just like roman shades, fixed Velcro Panels can be rigged to "roll up". A roll up system is very simple to create on your own. We simply need to position grommets to enable you to do so. The video below will show you how.
We do offer a tracking option whereby panels will slide side-to-side. The tracking option is typically used only when clients already have our summer insect curtains and want them to be interchangeable. While the summer insect curtains are lovely and decorative when tied back, let's face it, you won't win a beauty contest with a gathered swag of thick plastic. If this is your first purchase from us, we recommend a fixed attachment to save money since you won't need track hardware.
Have a question? We're here to help. Call us at 866-622-0916.
Curtains are installed with minimal home improvement skills. Can you stand on a ladder and hold a drill? If the answer is yes, you're in business. Most describe it as a fun little half day project.
Velcro Top Attachment: (most common and panels are fixed in place for season)
Tracking Attachment: (enables you to slide panels from side to side)
The tracking is designed to be under mounted; however sometimes the path may be blocked by columns. In such cases, we will show you how to side mount a wood strip and then under mount the track to the wood strip. A similar strategy can be used for Velcro Panels when the path seems blocked. We will help you with all this during your planning session.
Have a question? We're here to help. Call us at 866-622-0916.
Too Cold: Clear vinyl becomes stiff and brittle in temperatures below -15 degrees F (-26 C). Clear Vinyl has what is known as a "cold crack" rating such that if you try to manipulate the material below these temperatures, it will crack. We apply a flexible webbing around the perimeter of each panel to absorb flex. If you have a handful of nights where temperatures will be below these temperatures, consider running a space heater at a very low setting to keep temperature inside enclosure above 0 degrees F (-18 C) to be safe.
Too Hot: Be sure to remove panels when temperatures rise above 75 degrees which is generally just after pollen season. ALL clear vinyl shrinks in temperatures above 85 degrees F (26 C). Panels will also yellow in the hot summer sun.
Have a question? We're here to help. Call us at 866-622-0916.
Mention this to your planner. Much will depend upon the architecture of your application and we will see this when you send photos. We have a number of tricks up our sleeve including belted ribs that will brace plastic panels in the wind. In very strong winds, it is best not to compete with Mother Nature and open them up. Since we guarantee performance, we will be the first to tell you if we feel your conditions are not appropriate for our product.
