OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb. 3, 2014) - Only a few days remain until Canada's Olympic athletes begin competing in Sochi, Russia. Researchers supported by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) can offer insights into the many factors - from training and equipment to psychology and nutrition - that have brought these elite athletes to the games and which could influence their performance. Here are a few CFI-funded researchers who are available to comment on the science behind winning at Sochi.
- What do Canadian speed skater Olivier Jean and snowboarder Caroline Calvé have in common? Aside from the fact that they'll all be competing in Sochi, they also all train with NeuroTracker, a computer program developed by world-leading neuroscientist Jocelyn Faubert at the Université de Montréal that measures and improves cognitive performance in sports by challenging athletes to track many targets at high speeds on a large, 3-D screen. According to Faubert, by doing exercises that target this mental ability, athletes gain a greater competitive edge.
- Canada's Olympic athletes have to be not only physically ready to compete but also, perhaps more importantly, they have to be mentally prepared to perform at their best during the highest-octane sporting event in the world. Robert Schinke, a sport psychology professor at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ont., and a former professional equestrian, is a mental coach who guides Olympic hopefuls through his gruelling four-year plan to get them to the games mentally ready and able. Schinke says the most successful athletes are also the most self-aware and resilient.
- The nutritional needs of athletes competing in Sochi are scientifically planned for maximum performance. Speed skater Charles Hamelin, for example, takes in 6,000 calories per day, three times the recommended number for the average spectator. McMaster University's Stuart Phillips helped draft the International Olympics Committee's Consensus Statement on Sports Nutrition for the Vancouver 2010 games and is an expert on how exercise and dietary protein interact to either build or deplete muscle. The Hamilton-based researcher can comment on what is involved in eating for optimal performance.
- Tim Walzak at Camosun College's Sport Innovation and Research Centre in Victoria has developed sensor systems that track and measure Olympic athletes' performance as they prepare for the games in Sochi. By linking the data they collect from the sensors to high definition video, coaches and athletes can study the direct link between the athlete's biomechanical responses and their immediate effects on performance. This turn-key package of information will provide coaches and athletes with an unprecedented view of their performance and ultimately help them refine their techniques.
These are just a few angles for the Sochi Winter Olympic Games that CFI-funded researchers are prepared to discuss. For additional stories, contact our media relations contacts below.

Qing Fei Clearing Formula | Kan Herbs
Qing Fei Clearing Formula is indicated for Lung Heat with Phlegm, that is aggravated by Liver Fire.*
The predominant symptom will be a cough with profuse or sticky yellow phlegm. This prescription clears Lung-Heat and drains Liver Fire through a purging action, therefore it must only be used with Fire symptoms. The Liver and Lungs normally work together to ensure the smooth flow of Qi throughout the chest, however if the Liver Qi becomes excessive and transforms into Fire, it may rise up to the Lungs and obstruct the descent of the Lung Qi causing congestion, fluid depletion, rib-side pain and breathlessness. There may also be the typical manifestations of Liver Fire such as a bitter taste in the mouth, irritability, easily provoked anger, red cheeks and a red tongue with a yellow coating. This prescription is appropriate to use after a patient has contracted a Wind-Cold and the pathogen sinks deeper into the Lungs, transforming to Fire causing congestion, coughing and wheezing. Qing Fei Clearing Formula will clear Heat from the Lungs, reduce the counterflow of Liver Fire, stop coughing and increase fluids.*

text: From commercial airplanes whose exhaust trails are secret experiments in weather control to the New Jewish World Order behind the Federal Reserve, everyone is out to get the paranoid Right. "Over the last two decades, a far-right conspiracy culture of self-proclaimed 'Patriots' has emerged in which the United States government itself is viewed as a mortal threat," says an article from Intelligence Report Magazine. "Few Internet-age antigovernment conspiracies have spread as quickly or as widely as the idea of 'chemtrails': the belief that air and water vapor contrails that form in the wake of high-altitude aircraft are really clouds of toxic soup being deliberately sprayed by hundreds, if not thousands, of secret government planes executing the designs of the New World Order."

So I edited the home page of the new Django-CMS site, and aside from the detail that I couldn't get Kona's pictured centered even though I clicked Center in the CMS, and the detail that in order to change the "djangocms" logotype to "aufrecht.org" I had to learn what a png sprite was (Its existence is driven by the same detail that affects grocery store line optimization: the overhead of downloading a new file to a web browser is like the overhead of somebody fumbling for their checkbook right at the end, not only having not bothered to bag their own damned groceries but having chosen to spend that entire time staring into space with a faint smirk rather than digging out their checkbook. Three people with three items each take much more time than one person with nine items, provided the checker isn't an arthritic person forced into post-retirement manual labor by the insatiable greed of the 0.01%. Taking the parallel back to web development, obviously you are better off with one big graphic file than fifty tiny ones, because the Walton family's tax-dodging fake charities make your network slow.) and then I had to force myself to just manually edit the sprite in a temporary hack that will disappear as soon as I regenerate static content rather than spend 2 more hours learning the best and most Pythonic way to override Django's defaults—a css shim, editing the original package, a hack in Ruby?, but after that, my new Digital Ocean server, temporarily set up as pre.aufrecht.org (with separate database server) was ready to become aufrecht.org.
So I went to my DNS provider to make the switch but I couldn't remember which company is hosting the current static page and I tried to check and discovered that, somehow, between with 1and1's confusing interface and my shaky command of the exact details of DNS lingo, I apparently already made the switch yesterday. I guess that when I tried to set the IP address for pre.aufrecht.org to the server, and I set the "IP Address" and not the "CNAME" (can you set a CNAME to an IP? In keeping with the general obstinacy of this project, I'm not even going to look that up right now, but I am going to create this link which I will click on later), and instead of setting pre.aufrecht.org, that changed the whole aufrecht.org IP to point to my new site. So, setting up a new Digital Ocean server pair from scratch using my new instructions took 4.3 hours, and making that site be aufrecht.org took either 55 minutes or negative one day, depending on how you count, so I may have come out ahead by about 19 hours in this whole thing. I'm still not sure exactly what happened with the CNAME IP thing, and did it mean that for most of a day aufrecht.org was coming back with an nginx proxy error, and who was actually hosting the previous aufrecht.org anyway, and do I still owe them money ... but this captures my feelings:
But if Future Wolverine from the original Dark Future wakes up in the head of Future Wolverine from the Bright Future, doesn't that mean that there is a separate Wolverine Consciousness who suddenly gets wiped out of existence when the Original Wolverine Consciousness comes back to the Bright Future?
But if in the original timeline Mystique was captured by Trask's people, why didn't she spend the original trilogy trying to get back at the people who experimented on her?
I mean, there could be an explana-
And in the original timeline, how did Magneto ...Anyway. Everything on aufrecht.org looks almost the same as it did before, but instead of a simple HTML page and image and web server, there is now an entire Enterprise-grade infrastructure of nginx, supervisor running gunicorn, django-cms, memcached, and a host-separated, ssl- and private-network-secured PostgreSQL server providing the same thing. And Kona is now left justified. And the page takes seven seconds to load. What?
Webpagetest says 6.858 seconds on first view, .5 seconds on repeat.
Gtmetrix says 6.94 seconds.
Pingdom can do it in 6.18 seconds
And in all cases, the web page itself is pretty fast, milliseconds, but somehow the page request sits for six seconds before it even hits the webserver, as verified by watching the logs while browsing the site. It's true that I picked Digital Ocean's Amsterdam server farm out of a vague and not-really-thought-out protest of the NSA's illegal and anti-democratic domestic spying program, but even if the servers are all smoking pot it shouldn't take six seconds.
In a waterfall process I might say that was a bug and spend all weekend trying to figure it out. But in my Agile process, where I'm both the Team Member and the Product Owner, I am declaring 6 seconds acceptable for the original task of setting up aufrecht.org, and getting that down to under a second is going to be a new task, to be done later. Maybe by Kona, who in the year or two since the temporary page was created has not found any new snoozing positions:

February 15, 2017 - Following the launch of the "5in15" professional development program, First15 is proud to announce the finalized roster of presenters for the first live tour of seminars taking place in locations across the U.S. The purpose of each seminar is to provide accessible and affordable learning opportunities for individuals interested in increasing game knowledge in a variety of disciplines. Topics ranging from digital sports marketing to team culture are on tap for the 2017 spring season, with a diverse array of professional and volunteer practitioners stepping forward to share their knowledge.
Charlotte, North Carolina is the featured location for the first seminar including several coaches covering the spectrum of roles from high-performance youth to women's senior club competition. Brendan Keane, recently named Associate Director of the Eagle Impact Rugby Academy, will be discussing optimization of training time, along with Amanda Watkins and Frank McKinney, who will focus on diversity within rugby, and athlete development respectively. This seminar will take place at Alexander Youth Network on Monday, February 20th.
Next location on the 5in15 tour features a panel of presenters assembling in Appleton, Wisconsin on March 11, 2017. The Wisconsin Rugby Football Union will serve as host to several game development initiatives taking place in one weekend. World Rugby coach educator, Shannon Bustillos, will be providing insight on the coaching process, along with a segment from Bob Jafferis discussing critical aspects of team culture. Jessica Burda rounds out the roster with a knowledge contribution focused on using digital tools to enhance marketing and recruitment.
"I'm excited to be part of Wisconsin's first 5in15 seminar, and looking forward to sharing ideas on recruiting and promotion with our rugby community," said Burda, the Director of Digital Content for the University of Wisconsin Badgers, and a longtime rugby player and coach. "The 5in15 seminars are a welcome addition to rugby educational opportunities in our country, and definitely needed as we all work together to grow the game."
The month of April features a 5in15 visit to San Diego, California and the Institute of Rugby at EXOS to offer knowledge sharing on a variety of topics on Sunday, April 2, 2017. Hannah Lockwood, who currently leads the San Diego Girls Rugby Program, will provide valuable information based on her experiences in increasing sport participation among young girls. Richie Walker, current USA Rugby Women's 7s head coach, will follow this theme by offering details on the journey to becoming a rugby Olympian.

Body CAD Engineer at Jaguar Land Rover
Connect with Jaguar Land Rover
1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
Body CAD Engineer Full time college for the first year other than half terms where we are in plant doing our actual jobs, which in our case is a CAD base project currently.
2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
Developed existing skills as we are redoing NVQ Level 2 which I did 3 years ago. Also learning new ones as we are doing a FD.
3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
My team are great as are the majority of the lecturers. I enjoy my time in plant however college seems much of a formality and we don't appear to be being treated like the adult professionals we are and instead are treated like children. I felt in my last apprenticeship with Precision Carbide Tools Ltd I had more responsibilities and felt more of an equal.
4. How valued do you feel by Jaguar Land Rover?
I feel valued by the company although as we don't receive much face time with members of staff other than ones we are contacted through at college, it is hard to feel part of the team.
5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
The program is a new "Trailblazer" format and therefore is not at all organised. This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions
6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
The training provider is great, there are always people happy to help with any problems.
6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
I feel there is a lot of support from my employer although it is not portrayed very well in this current college environment.
7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
My salary just about covers my costs although this is more than I was used to at my previous position.
8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
There are many events to get involved in, however these appear to be offered to people who have previously been to them and therefore not as easy for others to get onto.
9a. Would you recommend Jaguar Land Rover to a friend? *
9b. Why? *
Because they are supportive and there are many great opportunities to grow within the company.
10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Jaguar Land Rover? *
Make sure you revise the company and it is something you are going to be committed to in the future as it is not easy.

The term "Distiller's Reserve" was not created by a marketing team to portray a particular image. Siesta Key Distiller's Reserve Spiced Rum was initially created by our distiller for his own personal enjoyment. It became so popular with family and friends that he eventually had to start making more! Supplies are still very limited and it is currently only available for purchase at the distillery tasting room starting at the end of September each year. Follow us on Facebook to get updates for release dates on upcoming batches.
The Distiller's Reserve spends time in barrels in a traditional solera method. In the solera method the oldest rum is never fully emptied from the barrels. The flavors from the real spices, honey, and Florida sugar cane continue to refine over time. The result is a very special spiced rum best enjoyed neat or on ice.
Siesta Key Distiller's Reserve is hand-crafted in small batches in Sarasota, Florida at our small, artisan distillery. We make our spiced rum by infusing our award winning rums with real spices and then adding honey for a bit of sweetness. We do not use any artificial flavors or sweeteners and you can taste the difference.
The Caribbean Journal named Siesta Key Distiller's Reserve the best spiced rum avaialble anywhere in 2014. They said "It's getting to the point where we might have to change the name of this category to Siesta Key Rum of the Year. Three years three wins by the boutique distillery in Sarasota, Fla. This year, distiller Troy Roberts unveiled an even smaller batch rum, Distiller's Reserve, a solera-aged rum that acheives something almost unheard of in the spiced rum category: it's so good you can drink it neat."
Distiller's Reserve Spiced rum was rated 94 points by Wine Enthusiast magazine. This is a score almost unheard of for a spiced rum. They called it "remarkably complex for a flavored rum".
Siesta Key Distiller's Reserve Spiced rum took home two gold medals in the 2015 Rum Renaissance competition. One in the spiced rum category and one in the consumer category where it was up against long established rums with more than a decade in the barrel.

Such a brilliant series- my favorites of all time! The book made me a new favorite animal- the wolf! The description is amazing and its a really fun book to read!
A great Book by Anne Perera, about a boy who is wrongly mistaken to be a terrorist and has to suffer the dark consequences!
"Is that bad?" Jack had asked, for his Saxon village had never before seen berserkers.
"Of course. People don't make ships and swords unless they intend to use them."
The year is A.D. 793. In the next months, Jack and his little sister, Lucy, are enslaved by Olaf One-Brow and his fierce young shipmate, Thorgil. With a crow named Bold Heart for mysterious company, they are swept up into an adventure-quest that follows in the spirit of The Lord of the Rings.
Other threats include a willful mother Dragon, a giant spider, and a troll-boar with a surprising personality -- to say nothing of Ivar the Boneless and his wife, Queen Frith, a shape-shifting half-troll, and several eight foot tall, orange-haired, full-time trolls. But in stories by award-winner Nancy Farmer, appearances do deceive. She has never told a richer, funnier tale, nor offered more timeless encouragement to young seekers than "Just say no to pillaging."
A great book about a boy who's sister was put in jail for no good reason..and to get her out Luiz must do what Trojan says....
Take down the commando Negro
~Deep in the heart of Rio, a new gang has emerged in the favelas. A gang with a sinister reputation, heavy-duty weaponry and a seemingly limitless drug supply. Recruited by the shady organization Trojan Industries, teenage tearaway Luiz Alves must gain initiation, infiltrate the gang and find out who's backing them.
But with guns on every street corner and the threat of exposure - and brutal death - hanging over his head, Luiz's mission of discovery isn't his biggest problem.
Staying alive is~

Staples To Begin Selling Nook Color on May 1
Staples announced yesterday that they will begin selling Barnes and Noble's Nook Color ereader beginning on May 1st. Staples, the only office superstore to carry the Nook Color, will sell the device for $249.
"Staples is excited to bring this amazing product with its enhanced applications to our stores this spring, which is just in time to celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day with a gift of the newest technology," said Mark Mettler, senior vice president for consumer technology at Staples. "We invite Staples customers to experience a live demonstration of the Nook's many features in all our U.S. locations and also enjoy the convenience of free shipping when ordering on Staples.com."
"We are thrilled to partner with Staples to offer our award-winning Nook Color Reader's Tablet, at only $249, the best value of any tablet on the market," said Chris Peifer, vice president, digital business development at Barnes & Noble.
The Nook Color is a 7-inch touchscreen tablet that runs on Google's Android operating system. It will receive a major firmware update sometime this spring that will bring highly requested features like apps and email.
Staples also carries Amazon's Kindle ereader, so it might be a good place for shoppers to compare the two devices side by side. What do you think? Do you plan to purchase a Nook Color for Mother's or Father's Day?

Watch Hawaii 5-0 Filming Near Your Hawaii Timeshare
When ABC's television program, "Lost," was on the air, it was fun to take a Hawaii timeshare vacation and check out the local spots that were used for the location shooting of the series.
For the last 6 years, Oahu's economy had also seen the benefits of filming the hit series "Lost" on the island, which brought in millions of dollars in various affiliated businesses, including catering, lodging, car and equipment rentals, TV extras, and various manual labor jobs.
Unfortunately for everyone filming of the extremely popular "Lost" came to an end in early 2010. But now - enter the new "Hawaii 5-0" television show, premiering this month on CBS. And guess what - this show will also be filmed on location on Oahu. "Hawaii 5-0 is again great news for Oahu's economy," stated a spokesperson.
Loosely based on the long running Hawaii Five-O TV show that aired from 1968 to 1980, this updated CBS program has the same characters and locale, but a different story premise, and edgier action and special effects. The 2010 show stars Alex O'Loughlin as Steve McGarrett and, interestingly, "Lost" cast member Daniel Dae Kim as Chin Ho. The cast also includes Scott Caan from "Oceans Eleven" as detective Danny Williams, and actress Jean Smart ("Designing Women") as Gov. Pat Jameson.
Unlike the original series, the new "Hawaii 5-0" is being shot on an Oahu that now has a strong film industry infrastructure, including a sound stage in Honolulu. This makes it easier to maintain a one hundred percent "on location" production for the new series.
The presence of the film crew and the cast will be seen all over Oahu, and sometimes on the other islands, as well. Scenes for the very first episode of the series were filmed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on Waikiki. This is a good resort from which to rent a budget timeshare and start your "Hawaii 5-0" location scouting. Other locations that have already been used include Punchbowl Cemetery, Iolani Palace, up and down Waikiki Beach, and numerous locations in downtown Honolulu.
As you wonder around Oahu keep a sharp eye out and you very well could stumble upon a scene being filmed. There will also be various internet sites posting scheduled film locations. Or take advantage of Oahu's "Circle Island Tours" company which offers opportunities to see the locations used in this, and many other television shows and movies, including Elvis Presley's "Blue Hawaii."
The fun and excitement of Hollywood mixed with your Oahu timeshare rental vacation is back!

Hawaii Five 0 was a great show, its great to see an updated version being shot in Oahu. It seems the new version is also getting some good reviews, which hopefully indicates it will potentially be filmed for an extended period of time.ReplyDelete

The location, actors are right on. My problem with the show is the story line. Too much action without depth. Why not take some real crime cases such as the Peter Boy Kema case, Diane Suzuki case, Lisa Au, etc.,and expand on those. There seems to be too much fluff without substance on the show.ReplyDelete

Home » 2012 » Karl Urban » Lena Headey » Olivia Thirlby » Pete Travis » Dredd (Pete Travis, 2012)
Monday, September 24
Dredd (Pete Travis, 2012)
And that's all she wrote. Cut from this sparest of setups straight into a fracas, Dredd (Karl Urban) chasing down a car full of drug addicts as they fire wildly at the Judge on their trail. Set aside but a few more minutes after this swift action sequence to lay out the film's plot: assigned to take a rookie made psychic by radiation exposure (Olivia Thirlby) on patrol, the two head to a towering slum block to investigate a gang message killing. What they find is a 200-story building entirely under the control of a savage gang leader, Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) looking to protect her manufacturing plant for Mega City One's hottest new drug, Slo-Mo. Literally locking the building down, Ma-Ma forces Dredd and Anderson to fight scores of bad guys tasked with collecting their heads.
The resulting film recalls The Raid, another film about elite police forced to clear a hostile complex floor by floor in the hunt for a drug manufacturer. But where The Raid took its pared down premise with distracting severity even as it treated its latent fascism as the elephant in the room, Dredd confronts its endorsement for desperate measures in desperate times with a brutish wit and a clear pleasure in its gory delights. Urban channels laconic, grizzled stars of action films past, the top of his face always hidden behind Dredd's impenetrably tinted helmet visor and his chin always locked into place as it occasionally lets words his through the cracks in his clinched teeth. Urban captures the perverse Platonic ideal Dredd represents as a lawman: he has killed so many in the name of martial justice that he has attained the kind of detached emotional response that is, in theory, the embodiment of what justice should stand for. When the Peach Trees complex thugs fire upon him, he expresses no rage or fear, instead noting simply that they have just committed an offense punishable by death and that he shall now carry out judgment.
Also worth noting is Travis and writer Alex Garland's superb grasp of pacing and flow. A film of nothing but action can be as tedious as an action overburdened with plot. But Garland's script, as punchy and direct as Dredd's occasional dialogue, does not mask the absurdity of its simplicity nor the Manichaean properties of this world. Even when corruption is shown, this serves less to complicate the film's moral absolutism than to reinforce it: if a Judge breaks the law, that Judge will be treated as any other criminal. This deliberately undercuts the impact any twist might have, ensuring that all focus remains on the staging of the action, which is kept fresh enough that it avoids becoming repetitive and dull from desensitization.
But it is Travis' direction that makes the biggest impression in Dredd. The framing and editing of the action occasionally disorients, but Travis makes intelligent of the confining borders of corridors and the open ring of air in the center of each floor. Spatial clarity across a sequence generally holds up even when it disappears a few shots at a time in a hail of tracer rounds. The real achievement, however, concerns Travis' use of 3D to visualize the effects of the Slo-Mo drug, which also passes on its namesake to these shots. Filmed on Phantom Flex high-speed cameras, these sequences slow time to such a crawl that drops of water separate and coagulate in midair, and smoke does not so much get exhaled from the lungs as crawl from mouths like a butterfly worming its way from a cocoon. Travis compensates for 3D's dimming effect by cranking up the brightness for these segments, an ingenious solution that factors in the technology's weakness even as it adds another layer of hallucination to the filmed effect of the drug. Coming hot off the heels of Paul W.S. Anderson's sumptuous use of bright color schemes and slow-motion in Resident Evil: Retribution to get the most dimension out of his three dimensions, Travis furthers the argument that clever B-movie makers continue to use the format in a more inventive, pleasing way than the self-serious filmmakers who look upon 3D as the next major artistic leap.
Dredd also continues the trend of 2012's mid-budget blockbusters vastly outclassing the tentpole features in terms of filmmaking panache and focus of aesthetic and thematic ideas, and all with shorter running times. Hell, Anderson's psychic interrogation with a particularly uncooperative and nasty piece of work, one that turns into a frenetic and surreal battle of mental wills inside the perp's mind, handles the fractured, carnal nightmare of a mental invasion with more visual probability than anything in Inception. Witty but never winking, Dredd is so refreshingly un-postmodern that it may well become one of the few films of recent years to earn a legitimate cult following without being specifically designed to be a cult film. Who knew a work of reactionary fascism would be such a breath of fresh air?

We lined up one of our favorite solo performers from our Open Art Nights, Amos, to kick off the show with his energetic hip-hop as well
Anchorage, Alaska (PRWEB) March 27, 2012
Outta Step Music (OSM) rapper Amos was tapped to perform at the Anchor Pub, 712 W. 4th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska this Friday night starting at 9PM. The Anchor Pub and Club has invited OSM rapper Amos to open for The Real Day Connection. One of the organizers stated, "We lined up one of our favorite solo performers from our Open Art Nights, Amos, to kick off the show with his energetic hip-hop as well." Amos will perform several songs from his highly anticipated mixtape due to release Fall 2012. Singer KL is slated to back Amos up on stage and record producer Kenny Dubb mentioned handing out free fan t-shirts at the event via his blog. There is no cover charge for this concert.
-About Amos-
Born and raised in Flint, Michigan, Terrell Amos began his career as a poet. In 2007, Amos moved to Anchorage, Alaska and began rapping and freestyling in the local hip-hop scene. By 2010 a mixtape Amos was featured on found its way to producer Kenny Dubb. Dubb was impressed with Amos' wordplay and delivery and later setup a meeting. Since then, Amos has recorded his premiere single for Outta Step LLC/Island Def Jam Digital distribution, Da Wildcat. His influences include; Pink Floyd, Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco and Kanye West.
-About The Real Day Connection-
Real Day is The Connection of two forces: J Real (Insane Lyrical Emcee) and J Day (Mad Lyricist/Producer). They merged to shed light on a more intellectual side of hip-hop. You won't hear tracks about whips, chips, and chains, but instead you'll find stories to relate along with intense imagery and deep metaphors. The music can only get better as you uncover a new thought with each listen.
-About Outta Step, LLC-
Outta Step, LLC is a record label, founded by record producer Kenny Williams and entrepreneur Kenjuan Simon in 2010. The duo long had plans of establishing their venture but were in need of a title that represented the independent style they brought to the music industry. In June of 2010, Williams came up with the name "Outta Step" while on a flight from Tokyo to Dallas. Outta Step, LLC specializes in composing hip-hop, R&B, pop, and reggae records. The label has been cleverly dubbed "The couture of hip-hop beats" because every song is produced specifically for the performer's unique vocals, style, and creative goal. Today the company operates independently and has helped develop unsigned acts such as Kid Popular, Amos, and Znai.
Recordings from Outta Step, LLC can be purchased at iTunes and other multimedia distribution sites.

Focus on God's Love for You in Christ
There are consequences when you don't focus on the right spot. Each year over 400,000 people in the U.S. are injured in crashes that involve a distracted driver; over 3,000 people are killed. A lapse in focus can lead to distress and tragedy. This also applies to our spiritual life. God knows how prone we are to make idols of the desires of our heart and to lose sight of His love. So He commands us: "Keep yourselves in God's love." (Jude 21) What love, besides God's love, loves sinners like you and me? What love, besides God's love, loves sinners so much as to pay the debt of sinners by dying on a cross in the place of sinners? What love, besides God's love, promises eternal life to everyone who believes in Jesus, who sacrificed Himself for sinners? What love, besides God's love, continues to grant forgiveness every time a sinner repents, even if it is 43,123rd time?
How do we keep ourselves in God's love? He tells us: "Build yourselves up in your most holy faith." (Jude 20) The devil's lies, the world's temptations, and the pull of our sinful nature can distract our focus from God's great love and lead us down a path of distress and tragedy. We need to continually return to the good news of God's love for us, shown in the One who died for us and was raised again. FOCUS ON GOD'S LOVE FOR YOU IN CHRIST.
…We need each other's help to keep this focus. There's a reason why God had Jude use the word "YOURSELVES" instead of "yourself." We do this with one another; we do this together. At Christ Our Redeemer, we come together to sing hymns together, to confess our sins together, to receive God's proclamation of forgiveness together, to listen to His Word together, to pray together, to receive the Lord's Supper together, to strengthen our focus on God's love together. And we leave together in the mission of sharing and showing the love of God to others. Come, join us; let us help you FOCUS ON GOD'S LOVE FOR YOU IN CHRIST!
Come visit us at CHRIST OUR REDEEMER for more of this message of God's grace!

As dozens of meteorite hunters converged on southwest Wisconsin on Friday, a Lake Forest man and his two teenage sons stumbled upon what all of them had traveled hours to find.
After they stopped to talk to a farmer, he showed them a small rock that had bounced off his shed roof the night before, shortly after a fireball exploded in the sky.

MILFORD — It's the holiday season and time for yearly staples like treats, visits with Santa Claus and, of course, "The Nutcracker."
High up on their toes with twirls and carefully placed choreography, members of the Diamond Dance Company have eagerly practiced for their upcoming "Nutcracker" performances.
Emily Dittman said she worked especially hard for this year's play – she's a lead dancer.
"It was hard work," she said of a big audition that took place earlier in the year. "I'm kind of like the lead of the flowers, a friend of Dewdrop who is another lead."
Although Emily is just 13-yearsold, she proudly added that she's been dancing for about 10 years.
"I started real young. I've always had a passion for it. It's another way to be creative. I like drawing, too, and dancing is a way of drawing with your feet," Emily explained.
Dancing in groups such as the Diamond Dance Company helps her meet friends and work through "challenges in day to day situations."
Director Misty Yencer said she has about 73 child dancers involved in this year's play along with a myriad of volunteers, including parents.
Lee DeBaca, 40 of Dover, has two daughters enrolled in the program and says he's volunteered for about seven years, the entire time they've been involved with Diamond Dance Company.
Mr. DeBaca is known as Drosselmeyer during "The Nutcracker." His wife, Carie, also actively volunteers.
As this year's Governess, she said she's excited to support their daughters and the dance group.
"I think they enjoy the days we're all at practice together. They look forward to our family rehearsals," she said.
Much like other parents in the group, the DeBaca's said they also help with props, set construction and other needs as they arise.
Ms. Yencer said, "Probably the most challenging part is getting our younger cast members to see how each smaller part plays a key component in the whole production."
Baby Mouse, also known as 7-year- old Katelyn Joseph, didn't seem phased by the challenge of dancing in a holiday gem such as "The Nutcracker."
"It's really fun because [I] get to be on the soldiers back and hitting it. It looks really real. Also, I get a bow on my tail," she said.
Lead Arabian Emma Moorman, 13 of Milford, said she enjoys her character, too.
"Arabian is such a mysterious character. I love that it is not your typical ballet dance. I get to push myself in this dance. Along with the different dance moves I do, I try to make facial expressions to fit the character," she said. "I think the Arabian character matches my dance style. This is the first dance I have done with a male partner. It is difficult to be in synch but also fun."
Ms. Yencer said the results outweigh the challenges for the dancers.
"The rush that they get when they get out on stage and finally get to be able to show what they've learned… it's a rush of endorphins I think," she said. "They like showing others how proud of themselves they are."
To top off the performance, cast members and family alike will be able to enjoy a cast party and holiday show with each other to celebrate their accomplishments.
The Diamond Dance Company will perform "The Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast" in the spring to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the movie and the release of a new live action movie in March of 2017.
"We've found that connecting a piece of ballet with a piece of literature is beneficial for our dancers, but also for the schools," Ms. Yencer said, adding that many schools visit with the dance company on field trips throughout the year.
"We use the opportunity to talk with the students, too, about needing all kinds of people behind the scenes. We use artists to paint our backdrops, people to run the sound board and lighting and engineers for set building," she added.
The Diamond Dance Company will perform "The Nutcracker" for the public Saturday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. at the Milford High School.
Tickets can be purchased for $20 at the premium level, $15 for adults and $10 for children 3-years- old and up, students and seniors 65-yearsold and up.

Around this time every year I update the web site and update this little 'about' paragraph. I'm not sure anyone ever reads it but it makes me feel better!
The new Point to Point season is almost upon us.

I'm also very much looking forward to The Wizard of OZ , We will Rock You, Urine Town, Legally Blond, Guys and Dolls and some serious nativity action which are all in the diary for 2016-2017
This years changes to the site are a little more subtle than previous years. As always I'm aiming to create a more user friendly set up while still offering a user experience that is representative of my work and the services on offer.
This year for the first time I won an award. Bidvine selected me as Top Sports Photographer based on customer feedback. I don't enter competitions as a rule but it is nice to have my work recognised by customers.

A Comparison of Faculty Academic Advising and Academic Advising by Professional Counselors. Final Report.
Shelton, Joe B.
The purpose of this study was to obtain and compare perceptions of students relative to their academic advisement experiences with professional counselors and faculty advisors. A questionnaire was mailed to 225 present or past students of 3 community colleges in the states of Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. Each student in the sample had experienced academic advisement from both a counselor and an academic advisor. Of the sample, 146 students responded by returning the completed questionnaire. In addition to the survey, a personal interview was conducted with 10 eligible students to provide validation for the questionnaire and supplementary information. The study revealed that counselors are significantly more concerned about students, more accepting of students, more genuine with students, more approachable to students, and more effective in meeting the advisement needs of students, than are faculty advisors. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that colleges utilize more trained counselors in their advisement programs. It is also recommended that colleges make greater efforts to provide adequate advisement for the beginning student. (Author/HS)

LMT Simulation Cannes Mandelieu Released./
FSX/P3D. LMT Simulation? Never heard of them but as always, it's nice to see new developers entering the marketplace. The first release from this team is Cannes. I really loved the old FranceVFR version back in the days of FS9 and have been hoping someone would tackly this project for FSX/P3D. Pased on the product page screenshots, the ground textures are anything but sharp and the photo imagery leaves a bit to be desired. But the building textures look good and for about $10 bucks, why not? Thanks to Zachary Kerr for the tipoff!

Gender Effects on Minority Students' Perceptions of Satisfaction with a Summer Research Program.
Riggins, Toija A.; Frierson, Henry T., Jr.
This study focuses on a 10-week program called the Summer Pre-Graduate Research Experience (SPGRE) Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The SPGRE has been in place for six years; it is designed to reinforce and promote graduate study through participation in directed and often on-going faculty research projects. Students are African American, Native American, or Hispanic/Latino and are drawn from colleges around the country. A majority of the students have been women. Participants complete a self-report questionnaire at the end of the program. This study examines self-report data from 180 students over a six-year period to determine whether gender is associated with students' perceptions of satisfaction with major aspects of the program. Of 180 students, 124 had male mentors, while 56 had female mentors. With the considerably lower number of women research mentors, it was expected that male student participants would be more satisfied with the program than their female peers. Study results show that overall, both male and female students rated almost every aspect of the program favorably. Students' gender was significantly associated with only two of the seven major areas examined: Males were more clearly positive that the program met their expectations and were significantly more inclined than females to perceive the program as being worth their time and effort.

NBA 2nd Season
Another thing I love about All-Star Weekend is it signals the start of a new season during the season, if that makes sense. I am one of the proponents for shortening the NBA Season, just because I think it is too many games that don't mean much. Of course every game matters but for teams like the Bulls and Warriors, a loss in the middle of January don't hold much weight.
After All-Star break though games are more significant because we're getting closer to the Playoffs. I always notice players have a little bit more pep in their step after the All-Star Break, which for me, creates more entertaining basketball. While we get ready for the start of the 2nd season Thursday night, here is a few things I think you should pay attention too for the remainder of the season.
Will the Cavs finish strong?
Walking into the All-Star break the Cavs were on fire. They went on a 11-game win streak, winning 13 of their last 15 games. Prior to that strong finish though they were, 19-20 as of January 13th, so that run came at good time.
The Cavs were without Bronny prior to that run, 1-7 without LeBron. Lebron should be rested now between the 8 games he missed and the All-Star Break, which is a great thing for the Cavs. I expect to see a very focused LeBron James for the remainder of the season. Right now the Cavs are the 5th seed, 10 1/2 games behind the Atlanta Hawks.
Cavs is also 1 1/2 games behind the Bulls in the Central Division. I think it is very important for whoever wins this division because for some reason, I see them playing each other in the 1st round at the 4th and 5th seed. And whoever does win this division will get home-court advantage, something I think is essential for the Cavs.
I still have questions if Kyrie and K-Love will be able to keep up with LeBron on this potential run. I have confidence in both of their skills but obviously it's going to take more than skills to get this team above the rest. Even though this is a very good big 3, the one thing they lack is experience. LeBron is the only one who has playoff experience of the three. Neither Love or Kyrie has been in this situation where they have to guide a team to the playoffs.
Will the Warriors prove they are true title contenders?
Of course this questions can't be answered until the NBA Finals, but what I'm asking is will people start to believe in their potential? Reason why I say that is because, even with the Warriors being number 1 in the West, and has been for some time now, some people still don't have them as a main contender for a title.
On paper and by the numbers, it's easy to persuade one that the Warriors will be playing in the NBA Finals. Their 26-7 in the conference, 23-2 at home, and 19-7 on the road. They lead the league in points differential (+11), points scored per game (110), and lead the league in both field goal percentage (.481) and opponent field goal percentage (.421). Numbers like that signal a very promising future for the Warriors, unfortunately though, basketball isn't played on paper.
I don't think it's a reach to put the Warriors in the Finals. They have playoff experienced and have been playing very good defense. The fact that they are one of the best defensive teams in the league, gives me more confidence in them.
Andrew Bogut is a large question mark for me. He has only played 37 games this season and since 2012 he has only played 136 games. In order for the Warriors to go far, I think Bogut has to be a main ingredient, to have that big body presence in the middle. In the playoffs, the game slows down, and half-court basketball becomes more prevalent, and a quality BIG MAN is needed. Bogut numbers aren't much to look at, averaging only 6 points and 8 boards, but that defensive presence in the middle is far more important.
MVP Race
Right now the MVP is a two man race between James Harden and Steph Curry. Both are having career seasons, and has been highlight reel material. Right now I would give the nod to Steph Curry since his team has the best record in basketball, but honestly, I have switched back-n-forth between these two, so it will probably change again.
Here is a list of the Head-to-Head match-ups from this season:
- November 8th - Steph Curry 39 points, 9 boards, 5 dimes, 4 steals 68% FG, 6-9 3PT; James Harden 22 points, 7 boards, 7 dimes, 33% FG. Warriors 98 - Rockets 87
- December 10th - James Harden 34 points, 7 boards, 4 dimes, 4 steals 52% FG; Steph Curry 20 points, 7 boards, 7 dimes, 8-15 FG. Warriors 105 - Rockets 93
- January 17th - Steph Curry 27 points, 11 dimes, 7 boards, 3 steals, 1 block, 50% FG; James Harden 12 points, 4 dimes, 4 steals, 4-15 FG. Warriors 131 - Rockets 106
- January 21st - James Harden 33 points, 4 boards, 6 dimes, 44% FG; Steph Curry 22 points, 10 dimes, 7-12 FG, FOULED OUT. Warriors 126 - Rockets 113
Of course the Warriors have the better team, so don't focus so much on who the games. One thing that I notice about those four games, even if Steph didn't have a crazy stat line, it still was a good game. Overall I will have to give the edge to Steph because he has been playing the better all-around basketball at the guard position, along with shooting people lights out
Can the Hawks stay at the top of the East?
After winning 18 straight, the Hawks walked into the All-Star Break 3-4 in their last 7 games. I don't want to say the streak took a lot out of them but I think we all can agree they overachieved for the first half of the season. Now they can't surprise anyone no more. Sitting at the top of the East with the 2nd best record in the NBA, the target is definitely on their back, with teams like the Cavs, Wizards, Bulls, and Raptors gunning for them. Will they be able to answer the challenge?
A lot of their success have to do with their big 3, mainly Jeff Teague. I would say that Teague is the best player on this team, and so far this season he has been exceptional, averaging 17 points and 7.5 dimes. I think Teague will have to play at an MVP level for the remainder of the season in order for the Hawks to stay at that top spot.
Even though they don't have a true superstar, they have 5 quality starters that play well. All 5 starters average double figures in points, and bring something different. Can this style of basketball work for the remainder of the season. Can the Hawks survive not having a 20-point scorer on their team? I'm not sure.
Who will win the race for 8th?
Of course I'm speaking of the race for eighth in the west. What makes this so compelling for me is because it includes the Oklahoma City Thunder, who talents exceeds an 8th seed. Early injuries to their superstars is why the Thunder are in this situation, but they have more than enough time to make a run.
The scary part is if they do indeed get that 8th seed. Can you imagine a Thunder-Warriors 1st round series? If that's not good for TV I don't know what is.
The Suns are currently in 8th but they are in the middle of trying to trade one their best player Goran Dragic, so that could affect them for the remainder of the season. The Thunder trail behind them by 1 1/2 and the Pelicans sit a game 1 game behind the Thunder. The Pelicans hold the tiebreaker over the Thunder, which will keep them in the picture even if the Thunder do surpass the Suns.
As much as I love Anthony Davis, I want the Thunder to make the postseason. With them in the 8th seed, I think it will create a very exciting, unpredictable, possibly historic postseason.
