Last wednesday was my dad's birthday, so I decided to treat him to one of his favourite restaurants in the city, La Chilenita. There are two locations: 152 Rue Napoléon and 64 Rue Marie-Anne Ouest, both in Montreal. We went to the Marie-Anne location which is near Mont-Royal. I absolutely love this restaurant, it is everything I could ask for. It's a sit-down restaurant, although you can order to take out as well. It's a tiny shop that specializes in Chilean dishes, such as empanadas and sandwiches. They also offer a variety of mexican dishes.
I love going to La Chilenita. Their prices are very reasonable, between $5-$6 for sandwiches and $3 for an empanada. Plus, they serve Inca Cola, which is like, the South American version of soda? It's yellow and fizzy and wildly addicting. I haven't met someone who doesn't like drinking Inca yet. Their decor is very festive and colourful, which I love. They have a lot of Chilean art on the walls, plus a large television which always plays Chilean TV. It's a lot of Chile in one place, but it makes it feel authentic, as if you were back in Chile just grabbing some food. We don't have a lot of these restaurants in the South Shore, so my parents and I love going a bit further for some good food.
This is what I ordered, it's called a Barro Lucos. It's basically steak, avocado, cheese and tomatoes in between two buns. It is heaven on a plate and I'm pretty sure I could eat it every day without ever growing sick of it. It has all of my favourite foods but in one single amazing bite. I can't get over it, you guys. Anyway, there are a lot of different sandwiches, so I'm pretty sure there's something there to satisfy anyone.
After dinner, we went to the Saint-Joseph Oratory up on Mont-Royal, because my parents have a tradition of going there every Wednesday. Although I'm not an extremely religious person, I was raised Catholic. I remember going to church every Sunday with my mom and I've had my First Communion. Religion has always been a part of my life, but I'm not active in it. Either way, it's a beautiful place in the city, no matter what religion you are.
Plus, talk about a great view.
Happy birthday, Dad.

Connect two computers through various methods and enjoy advantages of having easier communication channels, convenient sharing of data and references, cost efficient and faster processing of tasks. Connect two computers through networking, use crossover cable or Ethernet cable if internet connections are not available, open and enable file sharing, and just follow technical procedures until it is successfully connected. Computer networking makes business firms and other organizations operate more efficiently, individuals at home or in the office can share files and references easily. A number of advantages can be enjoyed such as the following:
A. Large corporations or agencies can benefit from this set up. Employees across departments can directly access information up to the level allowed to them. It is cost efficient and no need to store multiple copies of files nor pay multiple subscriptions for each division or individual employees.
B.Storage capacity is no longer a problem. Computer sharing saves on file storage capacity and allows easy access to all authorized entities to browse the files and softwares they need.
C. Information is available to all and means of communication are more efficient. Connectivity enhances transactions, how much more if sharing feature is available. Transfer of large files and bulks of documents will not be difficult anymore.
D. Personnel can handle multiple tasks and even students in schools can do research simultaneously and can make updates on a single project which is accessible to all members of the team if their computers are connected.
E. Cost efficient particularly in regular apps subscriptions and purchase of software products. Just install programs on the server or in your system and allow connected computers to access. Sounds great, right? Let's try to look on the other side of the coin so that we can assess its pros and cons. If you decide to connect two computers, it is advisable to know the risks and decide on what security measures to take. Information is vital, hence, protection is necessary.
A. Security risks. Connected computers allow multiple users to access, make changes, share files, use programs, etc., on your computer units. Files, apps, softwares and programs installed are vulnerable to damage, infected with virus and even hackers.
B. Requires an efficient admin in-charge. One of the units must take the reigns and control the use, access and sharing of files. Somebody knowledgeable enough to understand network connection and configuration as well as passwords assignment. Confidential files should be protected and there must be certain restrictions on the accessibility of files.
C. Spread of virus and malware. Connected computers are prone to this type of electronic hazards. Not to mention that sharing of infected files could also harm other files in your own computer. Indeed, it is easy, efficient, and fast if computers are connected. However, dangers are present too. If security measures fail, the damage could be grave. Now you have a clear picture of its advantages and disadvantages. Much relies on the management of the admin and of course the efficiency of security measures.

When we think about it based on the floor location for every single unit, an Executive Condo is obtainable in 1, 2, 3, 4 as well as five bedroom units. The label is a bit different in the one created by HBD of four rooms where a single may be the living space plus the rest will be the bedrooms. In an Executive Condo, when the term 3 bedrooms are applied, it means that there's a single master bedroom plus two other smaller bedrooms. A master bedroom comes using a toilet. The trend which has been observed with Executive Condo is exactly where you'll find 3 toilets with the two bedrooms obtaining a common toilet and an additional smaller toilet becoming situated inside the kitchen area. This smaller 1 seems to become meant for the domestic assist. There is also a utility area within the kitchen area.
Floor plans
There are so many distinct floor plans that you just can go for when you find yourself selecting that best Executive Condo. You will find also all sorts of layouts that may be offered by the developers on their brochure. You may benefit from them or look for them in the online web pages. A lot of the agents of such properties make certain that they acquire a domain name and after that place all of the relevant information there so as to get some greater sales leads.
Unit height
Another consideration that is certainly crucial may be the height of the unit that you settle for. When the height is larger, a unit could essentially expense a lot more. There is usually a wonderful difference in between units positioned on the 10th floor as when compared with one on the 2nd floor. Decide on carefully because the difference may be really higher.
Executive Condo models
The Executive Condo show model comes having a model that is definitely scaled covering the whole development. If you need extra info concerning the Executive Condo, the model could be actually helpful in helping you with an analysis. You are able to envision yourself living inside the model and see how reasonable it's. Check the paths that you simply can use if you need to get around and get to view the unit of option and what you might have the ability to see in case you are in the window. Get to know how the sun gets to the unit especially in the mornings and also the afternoons. In the event the unit you choose is near a road, get to understand extra concerning the traffic and irrespective of whether the noise could possibly be an issue.
The finer details
In most situations, an Executive Condo comes set with furnishing and this includes built-in wardrobes, toilet furnishings, electric ovens, basins, stove, kitchen cabinets and floor tiles. In some cases, the windows are developed within a way that they get started from the floor to the ceiling. This can be due to the fact installing glass is a lot easier than acquiring a concrete wall up. When you're provided your set of keys, the only factor you need to accomplish should be to move your furnishings in and set up each of the lights. This adds for the private comfort on the Executive Condo owners.

Discussion in 'General Discussion and News' started by blur, Oct 3, 2013.
report all bugs here. Where, when, and what occurred.
I played for about 20 minutes last night leading up to the restart. During play I was hit by 1 zombie knocking my blood down to 11796. After restart it was back at 12k.
How close to restart were you hit? - Also thanks for posting and letting us know!
I had at least 3-4 minutes of running prior to restart after the zombie hit me. Plenty of time for the DB to update my character.
I will be playing a little more this afternoon.
I will add that spawning way the hell up northeast is silly. Spending that much time to run somewhere will surely turn people off to this mod. IMO
Alrighty, thanks for letting me know I will try and duplicate the problem and see how I can go about fixing it, but sometimes if you are booted by the restart and not logging out yourself, wierd glitches can happen
Yup. DayZ has so many glitches that it probably was something you won't replicate.
Bug Issue: Clothing I put on (Fresh Clothes) disappear after I log off the server and later I join it is gone or not saved on my characters skin.
should be fixed in the database update we did last night
Do you know what the clothes looked like
Well first I had a Banana suit and then I had clothes with white and black camo pants and a black or gray shirt.
Elektro Barracks are merged into the Orange brick building.
Cap Golova is a mess!
The first one is known and fixed for next release.
What is up with Cap Golova though?
crooked buildings and whatnot, really looks forced in there. Dont think i noticed any that you cant access. More of a cosmetic thing, maybe its just me.
I know the editor is a pain to get buildings right sometimes though.
Just wanted to add, I like the concept of ur modification of Chernaraus though. Interesting idea to start players out NE and have them migrate West or South. Liking the weapons, not sure if u borrowed or made some of them. Also love the speed buff of dirt roads!!!
Thanks for letting me know about some of the buildings, the crooked ones get to me too, I know what you are saying lol
I will take a look
Skalisty Ai, looks like they're counted as friendly and it won't let you direct aim at them and shoot them. Perhaps I'm the only one experiencing this difficulty, but the guy was behind me, shot a SVD, and I couldn't shoot him unless I turned my zeroing to like 800 and shot at the ground.
Also, just noticed. I killed 2 AI off the mountain side, not sure if some more ran from behind the hill, or if they just respawned. Hopefully you can look into the script and see if it was respawn or what.
No AI have SVDs, not sure what happened there. But as for AI in general they are just placeholders until we get a better AI system working.
Alright, well his gun had a dmr sound to it.
I feel like I am going to end up making new AI after I am done eith some other things ;p
Are there really banana suits? I want a banana suit.
This bug may not pertain to this subject, but I may as well ask anyway.
So, when I first boot up Arma II Operation Arrowhead and click "Multiplayer", the server area (Or whatever it's called) pops up with the buttons listed at the bottom. Those buttons all appear except for the "Filter" and "Join" buttons. This prevents me from joining the DayZ Escape server that I have wanted to play on for quite some time now.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Separate names with a comma.

Effective Tile and Grout Cleaning
There are many factors that affect tile and grout cleaning. First, grout refers to the mixture of water, sand and cement that is put between the tiles during tile installation to make them remain in place. A grout surface is usually highly porous, easily absorbing dirt and grime, which if left for a long time usually leads to staining and discoloration. Although most tile experts would advocate for immediate tile and grout cleaning after they are dirtied, that advise is rarely followed.
To achieve the best results when cleaning tile and grout surfaces, most professional cleaners use highly efficient steam cleaners, similar to carpet cleaning machines only with a different cleaning tool. These machines provide a high temperatures and plenty of vacuum and water pressure to break loose those stubborn stains. The tool most cleaners use is a hooded tool with jets underneath that spin as the water is sprayed. The vacuum also goes around the sides of the tool and picks up most of the water that is sprayed, leaving tile that dries quickly. As a result, these machines effectively dissolve and remove dirt simultaneously leading to quick results.
Grout lines are usually porous and quickly absorb dirt, mildew, and lime scale. With prolonged use, tiled surfaces end up looking dirty and can also result in foul odors and a generally poor indoor air quality.
Tile and grout cleaning is vital in the removal of harmful microbes and in the restoration of the look of tiled surfaces after staining and discoloration. Normally, substances penetrate the tiled surfaces making general cleaning difficult. Floors may look clean but usually lack the brightness that was originally there.
Your choice of cleaning equipment is important in getting good results and keeping high standards of hygiene.

Body components
The fuel consumption of a vehicle is, to a great extent, determined by the vehicle weight. The bodywork of a vehicle offers great possibilities for making fuel savings because it constitutes a major part of the total vehicle weight. The bodywork also plays an important role with respect to safety as it provides the physical protection between the passenger and dangers that arise during an accident.
Raising the levels of safety in combination with weight reductions would appear to be a contradiction, but developments in both areas can go hand in hand provided that the design developments, the materials and the joining technologies are applied in the correct way.
The bodywork of a vehicle consists of various components, including amongst others the engine frame, sub-frame, door frames, roof struts and the bumper assembly. Each component is designed with specific requirements in respect of strength, stiffness and weight reduction.
AWL knows the requirements for these components, collaborates with the product design and manages the various joining technologies that apply. Our machines use state-of-the-art technologies so that our engineering and processing knowledge is worth more than its weight in gold.
The AWL welding machines are used for body components including cross members, roof frames, A, B and C pillars and side members.
Gestamp Automocion designs, develops and manufactures metal componants and structural systems for the automotive industry.
Kirchhoff Automotive produces and supplies metal parts and hybrid structures for the automotive industry.

Water towers / water tanks are a rooftop fixture of the New York City skyline and are the subject of fascination for many. But sometimes they need a facelift to repair the damage of the elements. This video shows one of these Manhattan fixtures getting a tune-up. Filmed in the late fall of 2011, it's sped up 2.5X. I had forgotten that I even had put it together until I saw this post and video from earlier today on water tanks on the Wall Street Journal's blog.
If you like my photos, many of them can be found for sale on posters, cards, T-shirts, etc at my NYCisMyMuse Zazzle store here

|[HEADS-UP] Cocoon 2.2 and java 1.5 revisited.
|Mon, 09 Oct 2006 04:01:48 GMT
Hi: I was updating some jars for cocoon 2.1.0. Qdox[1] version 1.6 was released in August 2006 (we are using now qdox 1.5) and it is distributed only for java 1.5! I know qdox is not the most used block, but it rings a bell! Cocoon 2.2 is not released and we will start to find such cases more often than what we would like to believe. I mean we will have more compatibility problems with other libraries that will being released for java 1.5. It means we will have serious problems updating, it will be a serious pain updating them. Also, we should take into account that java 1.6 is just around the corner. So I will be glad if given this fact, we should reconsider to set 1.5 as the minimal version for cocoon 2.2. Another fact: we claim cocoon 2.1 is java 1.3 compatible, but in practice, we have some blocks that don't work with java 1.3. Some of them even break the compilation and the user needs to start excluding this blocks. This is our current situation. Have we plans to repeat this for cocoon 2.2 for 1.4 vs. 1.5 o 1.6? Given this facts, I ask you: Should we call for a new votation about the minimal java version for cocoon 2.2? WDYT? Best Regards, Antonio Gallardo. [1] http://qdox.codehaus.org/

Astor Mediterranean
1829 Columbia Rd NW
Washington DC 20009
Phone: (202) 745-7495
Astor Mediterranean is a nothin' fancy little (and alcohol free) eatery in Adams Morgan, DC that features dishes from all around the Mediterranean. They have a second location in Arlington, Virginia, that has outdoor seating and...more importantly, beer and wine.
Though they serve the traditional meaty Mediterranean fare such as lamb, gyro, kabobs, and such, they have plenty of clearly marked vegetarian and vegan items on their menu. Their menu even warns that tzatziki contains dairy and that their grilled items may be cooked in butter.
Most of the items in this case are vegan, and I wanted to try them all:
Luckily, Marya ordered the Astor Vegetarian Sampler - minus the cheese-filled spinach pie, and I got to try a bit of each:
My favorite was the eggplant. Funny how I used to hate eggplant years ago.
And spanning opposite ends of the Mediterranean, I ordered the Egyptian Pizza, in honor of the new democracy in Egypt.
I'm guessing the eggplant on my pizza was the same spicy mix Mary had cold on her platter. Also, their crust has some sort of seed in it. It tasted like fennel, but they insisted it was cumin seed. Regardless, it was a nice touch.
It was quite good, and I managed to finish it off. Only a carafe of red wine and a bottle of hot sauce would have made it better.

4062 Chapter 62 Yellow jacket
Chapter 62 Strange Town
Gliding along the light blue sky watching below us white clouds drifting behind so peaceful, yet so much emptiness not seeing anything around no land below just crewing at a low speed no hurry to get anywhere but to find home, the clouds were clearing just ahead, everyone looking onward Jeff resting his head on the back of my seat watching over, Mat stood between Mike and Faye rocking back and forth on his hands to their chairs watching along in his own world dreaming of some exciding when we land, How did we get in this mess it seemed like weeks being gone and missing home hopefully this was it we be home, the clouds cleared we could see the earth below everything looked small below us trees and more trees at least we hadn't gone to some other planet in outer space, that thought had crossed my mind a few times before just wondering how they could easy track our ship bringing us all to their planet, or even a base they had somewhere in the ground that no one knew about, how could we escape let alone what would they do to us make us zombies or worst they might have us for food, to many SiFi moves make you think of all kinds of things that can happen, we know they were real we seen them how are they any different from us, all we know is they have a base underground and fly ships, what is there purpose here what do they want and why did they take kids and not adults' just young kids, what if they didn't find me and Mike in the woods then we could have been found and taken back to camp everything would have been fine.
"Shawn Wait Up" Mike hurry past the trees just behind me
I could hear somebody just on the other side knowing deep inside he was calling out our names rushing pushing branches aside each one dropping snow from it just in front or on me, again I could hear him calling out, they found us hurry up" Yelling back to Mike to hurry pushing thru faster "Over Here' Were here, Mike hurry they found us" suddenly a light just went by in front of me tears already coming down I was so glad to hear that motor wanting to get home "Hold up Shawn" Looking back Mike just coming thru the trees his head raised up hearing the motor also "Hurry Shawn stop them before they leave us here" Turning back rushing past the trees seeing the headlight waving my arms at the snowmobile, The man looked up rushing over to me "You ok son" "Yes my friend is here to""Thank god you boys are ok" Here he comes now" Mike rush out knocking the snow off rushing over "Boy am I glad to see you" Mike said holding his hand outward I just stood there like a little kid crying just glad to be found the Man open the small roll unfolding blankets for both of us standing next to the skimobile getting warm from its motor "Shawn you ok " "Just fine now" You boys are going to be fine we got help coming" Looking up tears almost frozen on my face smiling at him, while he rub my blanket holding both of us "How about some hot coffee boy's"
Both of us took turns sipping on his coffee waiting sitting on the seat while the man talked on the Radio a few looking back at us folding his map after giving direction to someone on the other end only hearing bits and pieces of what was said over the engine" Shawn someone wants to talk to you" "Me" "Your Dad here just push the side to talk to him" Taking the mike trying not to start crying again "Dad' you there Dad" "Shawn you ok Son""Yea Dad""We Were all Worried Son"" Were ok Dad""You'll be back here soon they sent someone to come get you"
"Ok Dad' Dad""I'm here""Dad I so sorry""It's ok Son will see you soon your Mom and Joey are waiting along with your Jamie""Ok Dad""Is Mike there' his Dad wants to talk to him also""He's right here Dad I'll put him on""Ok I love you Son""Me too Dad here's Mike" Handing the mike to Mike Wiping my tears away on the blanket watching him "Mike you ok""Yea Da were fine out here little cold but were not hurt""Good son me and your Mother were worry and can't wait to see you a soon as they get back""Me to Da is Mom mad?"" No just was worried that all""So I guess I'm in big trouble now""Let's get you safe and not think about that ok""Ok Da tell Mom I miss her" "Ok we have to go they need to used this unit so will see you soon ok""Ok Da bye"
"Shawn man what is it your crying" Mike worried looking over opening looking upward seeing only blue sky in front feeling a hand on my shoulder looking back it was Jeffrey crying looking at me glancing over at Faye and Mike then up to Mat, wiping the tear off my eye with a thumb and chin gasping with a sniffle.
"It was a dream I must have dozed off"
"Some dream Man you had us all going there"
"Why are you crying Jeff"
"You were crying and I felt bad and it just started"
"I'm fine ok Jeff, anything down there?"
"Trees and a few openings"
"We seen a bunch of large Cows"
"Buffalo's not Cows"
"You seen Buffalo's"
"Yea must have been a hundred of them running"
"Mike did we go back or forward?"
"Looks like it's still hard to say right now"
"Want to take it down?"
"Why not let's do it everybody ready"
Moving along slowly heading down seeing our shadow on the ground just ahead of us something like an upside down boat dragging across the field of open plains, maybe we did go back in time that would put us in Indian times with the Buffalo's they seen earlier, Just what we need a Indian shooting arrows at us, nothing around here just fields open land "What's that" Jeff was pointing forward pushing his head looking out "Look what he found will you" Sitting out in the middle of the field Buffalos herd grazing glancing up not even running from us passing them along following a path in the field some sort of trail maybe it was old wagon tracks from a cattle drive heading west they would be fun to ride the western style cattle drive, there it was a town just ahead of us and a road way with street signs out in the middle of nowhere" Do you see the town" Jeff asking getting all excited with Mat even Faye looked surprised slowing down no cars on the road it look deserted alright maybe this was a ghost town we could land and no one would know were here.
"What do you think we should check it out"
"We got to get on the ground soon you two"
"Ok Faye were going down"
"Better keep your eyes open"
"What do look for"
"Anything that moves down there"
"Don't see any horses or cowboys"
"It looks empty like a ghost town"
"Wow our own Ghost town"
"Easy guys look for a place to land it behind one of the building"
"Cool man a Ghost town can we look around"
"After we check it out ok"
"Over there behind that building looks good you two" Faye pointed to a large building just near the stable barn, If Donna was here she would have run up opening the doors for us"
"What me to open the door" Mat asked
"No not right away let's get down first this time"
Looking down the street no tracks of any kind but we past a road before that was paved this had to be a ghost town park attraction, even if it looked empty right now, Mike moved us over the building turning looking at the back side it was a prop set not a town at all.
"Why they cut these buildings up"
"It's a Mock town"
"What's that"
"A Town build for filming"
"Cool were going to be in the movies"
"Dum ass no ones here"
"Look over here a lean two we could fit"
"We just might"
Moving over still not seeing anything checking the building with a knod we slowly enter the building setting down hearing the bottom expanding it legs outward, we stopped Mat jump over waiting by the door ready looking back excited with Jeff waiting for us, Slowly the lights went out on the counsel, Mike gave Mat a nod to open it, heat wave about knock us all over rushing in, Dust filter our air standing looking outward, Faye lean out looking with Mike leaning looking the other way holding the boys from getting out running around.
"Ok you two just stay by us we look around together is that clear"
"Ok can we look now"
"Mike anything"
"No it look's empty but just keep alert"
"They have electricity here" Faye said pointing to wire's hanging
"Good maybe they have a phone too"
"Let's go take a look"
"Keep quiet till we know what were up against"
"Ok let's go then"
"Jeff you stay with me you to Mat"
"Mike you check the right will check on the left"
"Good will meet back here in say five"
"Ok you two stay close"
Jeff and Mat stayed close by looking at everything, opening a door of one small building looking inside it couldn't have been but fifteen feet long and maybe the same deep windows in the front showing the street, the boys looked around the room sitting on chairs jumping around feeling everything inside it was a prop of the western town Store boxes on the shelf that Mat already check finding empty and hollow cans placing them right back, Jeff pick up apples and potatoes making that little face of surprise they were plastic and no real, Everything inside looked real alright but nothing we could use that I could see right off looking out at the other buildings in the town wooden walkways in front of each before the next store front, this was neat but knowing it had to have an office somewhere maybe Mike and Faye found it already waiting for us.
"Ok you two let's see what the other two found before we go checking some more"
"Do we have to"
"Yes will look around but we need to get back"
"Ok but I want to check out the Bar"
"Saloon That sound cool a blast can we can we"
"Ok but let's check with the others first"
Hurrying back not seeing a sol around, Mike and Faye standing waving to us, hoping they found a phone rush to towards them.
"We found a store filled with stuff"
"Yea it was all fake stuff"
"Even had Plastic fruit"
"Boxes that were empty on all the shelves"
Mike and Faye stood looking down at them two talking away, Mike looked up smiling at me he found something good if the boys would just shut up and let them talk"
"Ok you we found a store two"
"You did was it fake to"
"No it's the real deal"
"Any food"
"A lot inside even drinks"
Looking at them they didn't bring anything back with them"How come your empty handed them?"
"It's locked"
"Great, did you see a phone"
Yeap right near the front door"
"Just break the lock we've done it before"
"You two broke locks"
"Yea there easy"
"Mat can get inside any building"
"ok but you have to be quite"
"Did you see anybody?
"No but we don't want anyone to hear us either"
"Come on show us where it is"
Mike and Faye lead the way to the store, we stood taking turns looking inside, Mat examining the paddle lock, moving it back and forth a few times, then look to the roof area, we all looked up not seeing anything back to Mat and Jeff, Lifting it upward seeing the bottom before letting it drop back standing back giving it a look over.
"Well can you open it or what"
"Yea I can I need something"
"What do you need a hack saw"
"No that would show we were inside I need a clip pin"
"Where you going to fine this clip pin?"
"I saw one in the store before"
"Want me to go get it for him"
"Jeff just go and come right back no stopping"
"Ok I'll get it"
Jeff took off before Mike could say another word, Mat look around the roof line again he was looking for something following the power lines to the side box, walking over to it standing looking at it I stood behind him trying to check it out no meter just wiring.
"What are you looking for"
"The alarm system"
"They don't have an alarm why that"
"Maybe they don't need it"
"That's dumb no alarm how they going to know when someone breaks in and steals their stuff"
"So now what! here comes Jeff"
"Jeff you got it"
Jeff holding out his had showing two paper clips, Mat took both unfolding them straight leaving one loop on each walk over to the paddle lock waving his hands to each side for everyone to step aside
"Let a master to open a little lock boys"
"Right with that"
Mat stood placing both inside wiggling around a few times anmd dam if it didn't pop open, he just smiled pulling it off handing it to Mike, Mike just looked Dum faced he did it so fast, Faye turn the knob Mat stopped her looking at the door again "Wait not yet" He stood leaning into the window looking sideways up and around" Ha there it is"
"What is it" The alarm little old style but it's here"
"Now what do we do"
"Just give me a second will get in, Jeff bend the clip like I showed you to do" Jeff folded it around and down making some sort of why looking form handing it to Mat slowly moving it into the side opening the door, looking at the little box with the why clip sticking in it the Kid did it he got us inside he a regular thief alright.

Hartford Woman Uses Personal Experience with COPD to Educate the Public
Giomarie Rosario Spreads Awareness about Lung Disease during COPD Awareness Month
(November 18, 2015) -
At 25 years old Giomarie Rosario has faced a lifetime of struggle with lung disease. Only a young adult, Rosario of Hartford, has COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Lung Disease and is on oxygen full time. Now, Giomarie is getting involved during COPD Awareness Month this November and volunteering with the American Lung Association of the Northeast to spread awareness and encourage others like her. In April 2016, she will volunteer at the Fight for Air Climb in Hartford.
As a newborn, Giomarie experienced her first case of pneumonia. Her doctors learned she had hypogammalobulinemia, which is a congenital (present at birth) immune deficiency. A few years ago, Giomarie was diagnosed with Stage 2 COPD and she is now living with Stage 3 COPD. "It's affected my entire life, because I was in and out of hospitals and I couldn't finish school. I had to finish high school online," Rosario said.
COPD is a chronic lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe. The disease is increasingly common, affecting millions of Americans, and is the third leading cause of death in the United States. COPD damages the airways in your lungs and leads to shortness of breath, impacting your work, exercise, sleep and other everyday activities. However, COPD is often preventable and treatable.
"The Lung Association is grateful to Giomarie for working with us during the month of November to spread awareness about COPD," said Jeff Seyler, President & CEO of the American Lung Association of the Northeast. "It's important for the public to understand that COPD is a serious disease that doesn't just affect smokers it can affect anyone. We're proud to have Giomarie working with us and look forward to seeing her at the Hartford Fight for Air Climb in April."
Fight for Air Climbs are the American Lung Association's most unique fundraisers. Climbs take place in prominent skyscrapers, stadiums or arenas and involve walking, running or racing up hundreds of steps. Sometimes called a "vertical road race," teams and individual participants can use the event as a fitness target, as a race, or as a great way to be active and meet new friends. The Fight for Air Climb: Hartford will take place on Saturday, April 23, 2016 at the Hartford 21 Building.
Rosario is committed to educating others about the seriousness of her disease. "I was never a smoker. But, there are people who see me with my oxygen and just assume that I smoked and my COPD is the cause. I want to make sure other people don't have to deal with that," Rosario said. Giomarie plans to continue volunteering to teach others about lung disease and to have a support system in her corner as she continues to fight COPD.
Registration for the Fight for Air Climb: Hartford is now open. To find out more or to register go to www.fightforairclimb.org or contact Joy Morse, Event Manager at 860-838-4377 or [email protected]. To learn more about COPD visit the American Lung Associaiton's website at Lung.org.

Some scholars have traced the origins of the word "religion" to it's latin roots of 'religare', translated as "to reconnect, bind". (re= again) (ligare= to bind)... It is with this re-connection that is at the heart of our fundamental struggle in, with all things in this world. It is also the completest victory if we are ever able bring the 2 together. As it once was, though with time, our choices had stretched a space between so far. May we meet one another there, on that mountain top of our shared destiny, fullfilled and be among one another in rejoice, grace, and peace.
Excerpt from TS Elliot's poem "The Gidding"-
What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make and end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from
...we shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always-- A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.

Haven't heard much on this since the initial announcement many months ago… Vin Diesel's new web series (he's producing) with Fox Digital Entertainment, titled The Ropes – an original series about the lives of bouncers; something Vin himself was in a former life. Recall Zoe Saldana signed on the direct at least one episode (including the pilot). Not sure if that's happened yet, though I assume something of the series has been shot at this point. What I did find is the below behind-the-scenes video put together for the promo photo shoot for show, featuring its cast – a group I don't think have been formally revealed yet.
I recognize just 1 face in this mix, but, for the life of me, can't remember the Brotha's name. Maybe you all can help me out… as well as identify any of the other faces you see in the video below. I should note that the initial announcement of the series said that the plan was to cast real-life bouncers who can also act, or actors, like Diesel, who have had experience as bouncers at one time or another in their lives; the goal being to make the series as authentic as possible. I'm actually curious about this series; It's been expected to debut this month, but I haven't seen any confirmation of that anywhere… yet. But now that I've been reminded of it, I'll be on alert… Here's the clip:

Customarily in presidential races, Americans seek a patriarchal figure, a strong parent to protect the house from invaders and financial turbulence.
But with Barack Obama, this dynamic seems reversed.
He seems more like a child prodigy. Those enraptured with his gifts urge him on, like anxious parents, trying to pull that sustained, dazzling performance out of him that they believe he's capable of; they are willing to put up with the prodigy's occasional listlessness and crabbiness, his flights of self-regard and self-righteousness. Despite his uneven efforts and distaste for the claws of competition, they can see he is a golden child, one who moves, speaks, smiles and thinks with amazing grace.
His advisers and fund-raisers have pressed him to go fortissimo. Many voters with great expectations are hovering, hoping for a crescendo.
Except for panicked Clintonistas, everyone seems eager to see if the young pol can live up to his potential. Responding to his more combative style, the press has relaunched him, giving him a second chance to shine, on this week's cover of Time, in the pages of The New Yorker, in the up arrow of Newsweek, which now declares him "poised to be the comeback kid," and at The Times, where young female assistants lined the halls on Wednesday to watch him glide into a second meeting with editorial board writers and editors.
In The Atlantic, Andrew Sullivan lays out what he sees as Obama's "indispensable" capacity to move the country past baby-boom feuds and the world past sectarian and racial divides. "It's November 2008," he imagines. "A young Pakistani Muslim is watching television and sees that this man — Barack Hussein Obama — is the new face of America. In one simple image, America's soft power has been ratcheted up not a notch, but a logarithm."Continue reading the main story
In Time, Shelby Steele agrees that a President Obama could show "that race is but a negligible human difference."
But he notes that Obama's abandonment by his African father at the age of 2 marked him. "Much of the excitement that surrounds him comes from the perception that he is only lightly tethered to race," Steele writes. "Yet the very arc of his life — from Hawaii to the South Side of Chicago — has been shaped by an often conscious resolve to 'belong' irrefutably to the black identity." (Obama wrote that he dropped a white girlfriend partly because of her race.)
Jesse Jackson has chastised Obama for not focusing enough on black voters or fussing more about the Jena Six. But Obama wrote that he grew up knowing how to disarm whites worried about angry black men.
The senator says that not all blacks have to support him any more than all women have to support Hillary. But so far Hillary has the advantage with women and blacks.
Obama came to the Apollo Theater in Harlem Thursday night — down the block from Bill Clinton's office — to try to wrest some support back from the first black president and his wife. Some young Obama fans wore yellow tees reading, "Who decided Hillary is best for the black community?"
Charlie Rangel; John Lewis; Quincy Jones; Essence Communications' chairman, Edward Lewis; and other celebrated Hillary supporters were not there.
But Obama did get to sup at Sylvia's soul-food restaurant — the place where Bill O'Reilly was shocked to find such genteel black folk — with the still-up-for-grabs Al Sharpton. The only endorsement Sharpton offered afterward was: "A man that likes chicken and corn bread can't be that bad."
Obama got an introduction from Chris Rock, who warned the audience that "you'd be real embarrassed if he won and you wasn't down with it. You'd say, 'Aw, man, I can't call him now. I had that white lady. What was I thinking?'"
And he got a benediction from Cornel West, the Princeton professor who took Obama to task earlier this year for not attending a national gathering of black scholars and civil rights leaders.
West tried to help Obama in his uneasy quest to claim his place in the black community, calling him "my brother," "an eloquent brother," "a good brother" and "a decent brother." He urged the audience to put Obama in a historical continuum with the spirituals on the plantation and Apollo stars like James Brown and Billie Holiday. Black, he said, has variations. "We don't expect Alicia Keys to be Aretha," he said.
Obama threw in some lines meant to show his black fire, even if it's a cool fire.
"I'm in this race because I'm tired of reading about Jena," he said. "I'm tired of reading about nooses. I'm tired of hearing about a Justice Department that doesn't understand justice. ... I don't want to wake up four years from now and discover that we still have more young black men in prison than in college."
He said he's running because of what Martin Luther King Jr. called "the fierce urgency of now." Now can the prodigy muster that fierce urgency?Continue reading the main story

Books I want to read but can't yet
1. The Magician's Land by Lev Grossman. The Magicians trilogy has been described as Harry Potter for adults, but I think of it more like Narnia for adults. It pulls from both, but it has this melancholy tone to parts that pull straight (for me) from the longing for Narnia to be real. It's also the only book series I can think of that would have this sort of quote: "you could only explain your Gödel, Escher, Bach references so many times before it starts to be a problem." This is the third in the trilogy, and I am both excited beyond measure, and feeling a bit sad about it because...this is the end. And like Narnia, I wanted the experience to go on forever. If they all die in a train crash I'm going to be pissed.
Release date: August 5
Verdict: YAY, this is getting closer, and I can conceivably plow through it during maternity leave...Freddie can sleep, I can read & weep, etc.
ETA: Shannon over from River City Reading alerted me to the fact that this title is available on Net Galley. *requested*
2. My Drunk Kitchen: A Guide to Eating, Drinking, and Going with your Gut by Hannah Hart. I've been watching MDK forever (butter yo shit!) and Harto is hilarious (the puns!) and seems like the most genuine of Internet persons, so I'm eager to gorge myself on this offering soon. She makes me laugh, and I think I'm in love with her.
Release date: August 12
Verdict: Again, yay! Just a little more waiting...
3. Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir by Liz Prince. I LOVE LIZ PRINCE. I can't even decide who I love more, Hannah Hart or Liz Prince. Can I have lady-crushes on both? Hope so, because that's happening. Prince is also everything I wish I could be: cute tattooed nerd with mad art skills who writes about adolescence and gender stereotypes and liking guys with beards and flannels and basically everything good and right in this world. She is talented, funny, and I just love her. I know this isn't the best review, but those are hard to write with little hearts in my eyes, clouding my vision.
Release date: September 2
Verdict: Waaah, I'll be back to work by then.
ETA: Also available on Net Galley!
4. As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride by Cary Elwes. Because duh.
Release date: October 14
Verdict: WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG?
5. Yes Please by Amy Poehler. Advice on "when to be funny and when to be serious"? Yes please, if I may borrow the phrase. Really, Poehler could scribble sweet nothings onto a napkin and I'd line up in the queue to buy it. And I expect this to be better than a collection of scribblings. I expect this to be fantastic.
Release date: October 28
Verdict: THIS IS FOREVER FROM NOW & MY DAUGHTER WILL BE ALL GROWN UP AND I'LL BE RETIRED, PRACTICALLY.
What books are you waiting for as the late summer/fall publishing deluge approaches? And what should I read while I twiddle my thumbs waiting for The Magician's Land?

I'm not as up as what is coming as you are, but I was just thinking this week that I wished there was another Mysterious Benedict Society book coming out soon. I'm in the mood to read one!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh man, MBS on my list of books I keep meaning to check out, and then pass over. So many books!Delete
I'm too bogged down with my reading list BUT - the 3rd Discovery of Witches just came out, so once I am done with the better in real life reading list behemoth I will be diving into the second and third book back to back for up-all-night-read-a-thons. So irresponsible.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm impressed with how much reading you get done! Psh, reading can't ever be irresponsible. (Tiring, maybe, but not irresponsible...it's reading! Totally legit important! Sleep be damned!) :PDelete

At least if you're retired, then there will be time to read? Maybe? Unless it means you're buying an RV, getting a weird dog (weirder than Neville and Summer?) and going to tour the country.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ahh, the RV dream. Not gonna lie, that'd be awesome.Delete
I'm looking forward to The Magician's Land too! In the meantime, I seem to have found myself in sort of a mystery novel reading streak this summer, even though it's not my usual go-to genre. The Yard and The Black Country, by Alex Grecian were pretty good. The Sherlockian by Graham Moore. I've read several by Charles Finch that were pretty enjoyable. Good luck!ReplyDeleteReplies
That's a genre I could never get into, even though I grew up on Trixie Belden mysteries. I should probably dip my toes in the mystery waters again, just to make sure I'm not missing some good stuff!Delete
Oh, man, I read tons of Trixie Belden as a kid too, and I loved Sherlock Holmes. But that was about it. I think I read the Alex Grecian ones to see if they'd make a good gift for my dad, who does like to read mysteries. Then I found they make good summer reading for the very reason that they don't absolutely engross me. I can read a few pages out on the steps while also keeping an eye on my daughter playing in the yard, whereas books that I LOVE, I really want to save for long, quiet hours without distraction. Basically, it's the difference between needing quality time with a really good friend and being able to chat amiably with a casual acquaintance for a few minutes at a time. Those casual acquaintance books were great when I was nursing, too.Delete
The easy pick-up/put-down-ability is definitely a good feature for nursing-fare. I've been listening to a bunch of podcasts for the same reason!Delete

Thousands of bikes abandoned at 'leave no trace' Burning Man
Truck, trailer convoys collect discarded two-wheelers
Burning Man cyclists are taking flak after an Instagram photo showing a sea of dusty bicycles abandoned on the playa was widely shared on social media.
The haunting photo by Logan Mirto shows some of the 3,000 to 4,000 bicycles left by Burners who couldn't be bothered to take their sand cruisers home. One commenter said that the image looked like "Amsterdam Central in a dust storm."
The mass littering of two-wheelers was condemned by other, more conscientious Burners, who admonished their brethren and reminded them of the Burning Man credo "leave no trace."
"If you left your bike @ Burning Man.... you are a {insert foul name here}!! Come on folks, we can do better!" wrote Jeffrey Pankey on Facebook.
His post got plenty of attention. Trucks began rolling in from Reno to collect the bikes.

Tweets in 10 – #Great #Idea #for #Twitter
Posted by Heather Villa, CMA, MBA, MSM on March 11, 2011 in: Twitter Tips & Tools
In this eleventh post of the TweetsIn10 series, I'm going to talk about hashtags. Hashtags are those things you see in tweets with a number sign in front of them:
(etc., etc.)
These tags are ways for people to label their tweets to give them some context, to help make them searchable, and to help make them trackable.
Context: Let's say that you see a tweet that says: "I love Sumatra!" You might wonder if your friend has suddenly traveled to one of the largest islands in Indonesia. But if their tweet says: "I love Sumatra #starbucks #coffee" then the context of the tweet is much clearer. Your friend hasn't journeyed to the other side of the world, they just happened to be in Starbucks around the corner. Now you can tweet with something like "Bring me a mocha latte" instead of "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving the country?"
Okay, obviously that's a silly example but it does illustrate my point: hashtags help to explain your tweet in a fast, efficient way. Since you only have 140 characters, why bother saying something excessive like "I'm at Starbucks drinking a Sumatra coffee and I really like it" when "I love Sumtra #starbucks #coffee" says exactly the same thing?
Searchable: As well, hashtags help to make your tweets searchable. By adding the "#" in front of keywords in your tweet (either inside a sentence or before or after the main content in your tweet) you can highlight the important words for Twitter Search (and other search apps). The truth is, search functions do look through all of the words in your tweet but the hashtag helps to make it clearer for people once the search pulls up the tweet.
Trackable: There are sites set up that watch specifically for hashtags and can provide a variety of metrics and additional information about that hashtag activity on Twitter.
So, this context + searchable + trackable feature of hashtags make them very much like labels or tags in your blog. They are a way to indicate the subject matter and help people to find what you are talking about.
The great thing about hashtags is that you can make them about anything you want. You're not stuck with a pre-set list of hashtags that other people have decided. All you have to do is tweet and add the # in front of keywords.
So, a tweet like "Enjoying the weather in Orlando" can become something like "Enjoying the #weather in #orlando". Or "having a coffee with a friend" can become something like "having a #coffee with a friend at #starbucks".
So, how can you use hashtags?
- Use them on references to your industry – #dentist, #consulting, #freelance
- Use them on references to your products and services – #coffee, #bookkeeping
- Use them on references to your city or town – #miami, #nyc, #la, #denver
- Use them on references to your favorite past times – #movies, #music, #MLB
- Use them on references to conferences, seminars, or Twitter-based groups – #followfriday, #businesslunchclub
These are the most common uses, but what about some of these less common uses that can help you build your business or your brand?
- Use them on references to your own name. Sales guru Jeffrey Gitomer adds his own name at the end of every tweet (without the hashtag but in a similar way to hashtags). So I might use one like #HeatherVilla. In general, use these when you are quoting yourself or using your name as your business brand. For example, I might tweet a quote like "'Project management is the heart of entrepreneurship' #HeatherVilla".
- Use them on references to your business name. A company might do this if they happen to be tweeting about themselves. For example, you might see "Mention the phrase 'tweets for eats' next time you're at #mcdonalds and get 10% off your meal".
- Use them on references to your product brands or other thought-leadership that you develop. If you created a blue widget, then add #bluewidget at the end of a tweet.
Next, you'll want to register these hashtags at wthashtag.com. WTHashtag is a user-editable site (like a wiki) so registering your hashtag there doesn't give you any specific rights over it, and others could come in and edit it. However, registering does help to "lock it in" so that it is defined and trackable. You can click to a hashtag at WTHashtag and see more information about it, see who tweets about that hashtag the most, and you can see usage trends.
Hashtags are useful tools to help other people understand you better and to help you brand yourself and search important information.
Bonus Tip: My Favorite Hash Tags
Here are some Hashtags I love to follow on Twitter:
#VATip: These are tips for Virtual Assistants and working with a Virtual Assistant.
#smbiz: These are tweets related to small businesses.
#smallbizchat: This is a chat that exists every Wednesday from 8-9pm EST relating to succeeding as your own boss.

Structure for success.
Video clips and emojis are rapidly becoming the preferred means of communication in today's digital world. To appease shorter attention spans, marketers must find new and exciting ways to share ideas with their target audiences.
Infographics are fun and easy to digest — when executed properly, that is. Here are 6 essential elements to include when creating your very own branded infographic:
1. Descriptive Title and Subheads
Infographics simplify lengthy or complex data by presenting it into a visually pleasing package. You want readers to know what they're looking at right away by including a descriptive title and subheads, like the ones on this clever infographic that HighJump created for St. Patrick's Day.
2. Informative Statistics
Informative data puts the "info" in infographic. Make sure your statistics are valuable, relevant, and of course — accurate. Attribute all facts to the reputable sources from which you pulled them.
3. Bold, Thematically Appropriate Color Scheme
Choose a bold color scheme that aligns with the message you're trying to send. Infographics should do more than communicate information — they should also invoke a certain feeling. If your infographic is on the lighthearted side, for example, avoid dampening the mood with somber colors.
4. Eye-Catching Graphics
Aside from being interesting and informative, infographics should also be eye-catching. After all, you're competing for the attentions of a digital audience with more than a few choices when it comes to sourcing information relevant to their interests. Make yours the standout favorite.
5. Clearly Organized, Sequential Story
People don't just want to scan through a bunch of data that they could find themselves with a quick Google search — they want a compelling narrative. Infographics should be clearly structured and intentionally ordered, allowing the reader to digest the information they contain within the proper context.
6. Specially Formatted Facts
Make sure to highlight the most pertinent facts in your infographic by formatting them uniquely — whether you choose to highlight, increase the font size, or bold the typeface.
