After a year or two of putting off a wine dinner with local Cardiologist, Dr. Revana, we finally got him in the books. For those not familiar with his wines, he has wineries in both Napa Valley and Willamette Valley (Oregon).
The Napa Valley winery is now lead by the talented Thomas Rivers Brown (Heidi Barret made the wine there previously), who has worked at such wineries as Turley, Schrader and Outpost, while the Oregon operation is headed by Lynn Penner-Ash, of Penner-Ash fame.
Dr. Revana will be in attendance to talk about both wineries, as well as some new releases and some old friends. We will be pouring the new vintage of Willamette Valley Riesling and pinot gris, alongside two pinot noirs—a single vineyard Alexana Dundee Hills 2010, and a 2008 Sitar, a small production wine made at Alexana Winery by Tony Rynders, formerly of Domaine Serene.
Lastly, we will be enjoying the 2009 Revana Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. These wines are very hard to get and some I have saved for this occasion for a few years. Chef Danny and I have worked hard to prepare a great menu and hope to see you there.

Kishor Jhat, Koshi
He could not work the fields because he had bad vision due to cataract. Now that his vision is normal, 70year old Kishor said "Mai khush hoon kuynke mai vapas khet mai kaam karpaunga" (I'm happy because I will be able to work in my fields again.)
Susan Bauer, USA
"Barsana Eye Camp is an opportunity to understand the depth of character of the simple Brijbaasi village farmers and women who may be poor & illiterate but are wise, happy & deeply devotional. It is both a privilege and an honor to serve both the locals and the staff of Bhaktivedanta Hospital to open my eyes to a deeper perspective of the art of giving and receiving. When I see the service being rendered at Barsana by the staff and Volunteers, I feel like staying and supporting them forever by being at Barsana.
Sue Sonitra, UK
"I had the fortune of visiting Bhaktivedanta Hospital in Mumbai last year and truly got impressed. This year I attended the Barsana annual camp in 2012. I could see the same level of care, compassion & professionalism even in a camp setup. I feel truly blessed. I will spread the word to my friends, colleagues and other back in the UK and South Africa. I wish every nurse and doctor to come and have this unique experience"

Mozambique sees new floods
Repeat heavy flooding hit Mozambique in the past week.
BY SUSAN KIM | BALTIMORE | February 17, 2003
Repeat heavy flooding hit Mozambique in the past week, according to relief groups struggling to meet people's needs.
Some 50 people have perished in floods during the last month when floodwaters destroyed homes.
Hardest hit is the northern province of Nampula, where thousands of residents fled their homes.
More than 200,000 people have been affected by torrential rain and floods that began when Cyclone Delfina hit the region in January. Some 6,000 homes have been destroyed, and more than 13,000 acres of crops are ruined.
Relief leaders are warning that this year's harvest will be extremely poor, further heightening the risk for famine in a region already burdened with long-term, widespread food shortages.
Some 1.5 million people across Mozambique could face starvation.
Members of Action by Churches Together, a global coalition of disaster relief and response agencies, have been working to meet people's needs. ACT Mozambique members ? including the Christian Council of Mozambique, Lutheran World Federation, Presbyterian Church of Mozambique and Ecumenical Committee for Social Development ? have been responding for more than a year, and plan to continue both emergency and long-term responses. The Methodist-founded Mozambique Initiative also has a long-term response underway, as does the United Methodist Committee on Relief.

A look at the Albion defender's career.
A graduate of Albion's centre of excellence and scholarship system, Lewis Dunk made his first-team debut in the penultimate game of the 2009/10 season at MK Dons.
Dunk was the club's youth team captain that season, and went on to impress in Albion's reserve side and added to his first-team appearances in 2010/11, appearing eight times.
With Adam El-Abd out with a long-term injury, he made a first-team berth his own in 2011/12, and his form prompted a call up to the England under-21 squad.
After finding himself behind Gordon Greer and Matthew Upson, Dunk had a brief loan spell with Bristol City in 2013, but re-established himself as first-choice centre back during the 2014/15 season, finishing the season as top scorer and as runner-up to Inigo Calderon for the Player of the Season award.
Dunk has made over 160 appearances for the Seagulls, stepping in as captain when Bruno's unavailable, and has contributed to Albion's outstanding defensive record both home and away - which helped gain promotion to the Premier League.

A 78-year-old man was killed late Tuesday night after he left a Prospect Heights nursing home and was hit and killed by a vehicle nearby just after another car stopped to try to get him out of the street, officials said.William H. Spears Jr., a resident of the facility, Emeritus, was using a walker while trying to walk south across Euclid Avenue near Hemlock Lane about 11 p.m. when he was struck by an Audi sport utility vehicle, according to Mount Prospect police.
Minutes before the crash, the occupants of a Ford Escape spotted Spears and stopped their car in an attempt to help him out of the roadway, according to Mount Prospect police, who are handling the crash investigation. Mount Prospect is handling the crash investigation because that stretch of Euclid Avenue falls within its jurisdiction. The facility is located at 700 E. Euclid Avenue in Prospect Heights.

SO, HERE WE ARE AT THE BEGINNING. The Colour of Magic is the first of forty-one Discworld novels and the first entry in the Wizards story-line. It is, at heart, a swords-and-sorcery-and-sandals parody. Even its arrangement—four parts, each with a brief recap—echoes anthologized pulp magazine storytelling. And it's enjoyable from start to finish. However…
Full disclosure: having read later books in the series, it was hard for me to grapple with The Colour of Magic. While eventual Discworld protagonists like Granny, Vimes, and Tiffany possess a depth of character that defies one-word epithets, the heroes of this first book are people who can be summarized with relative ease:
Cowardly Rincewind.
Unflappable Twoflower.
The dogged Luggage.
These adjectives are not the end-all of their characters, but they do cover a lot of who they are. How strange that these beings inhabit the same world as Granny or Vimes. No, The Colour of Magic is not a book about characters but a book about a world. Its characters are there mostly to move us across geographies and among set-pieces.
And that's OK. This may work for you, and that's great. But I can't help thinking that The Colour of Magic feels flawed. What do I mean by flaws? I want to highlight two in particular, as they will in fact become defining qualities that lend the Disc much of its literary beauty through the next forty books: humor and anger.
Humor, Humor Everywhere
One issue here is just how jolly The Colour of Magic is. Yes, I know, next I'll be shooing teenagers off my grass while wielding a lawn-chair, but really this book is more jolly more than funny: instead of the sharp, laugh-out-loud humor of future volumes, we get a pervasive background radiation of comedy that prevents any one joke from standing out.
Still, I think it'd be a mistake to see The Colour of Magic only as it is sometimes received: merely a romping, gleeful send-up of Robert E. Howard, H. P. Lovecraft, and Anne McCaffrey. The humor may be an uncontrolled test flight, but it's hard not to appreciate the total mess of beautifully inventive set-pieces involving cities on the edge of the world, malignant tree spirits, and upside-down dragon mountain wossnames.
It's great, it's nuts, it's beautiful, it's too much. So what brings this bright-but-confused world into focus in later books?
The Anger of a Good Man
Consider, if you will, how Pratchett mainstays like Granny and Vimes rail against the world. They're angry. As Neil Gaiman has observed, the man was himself not jolly but angry, with fury being "the engine that powered Discworld." And if the fury engine is what makes the turtle fly, then The Colour of Magic is a countdown to liftoff.
Take Rincewind, for instance: for me, his cowardice makes him mildly endearing, his predicaments relatable, but mostly he's frustrated at almost everything, constantly grousing that the world should be better organized.
And this is partly what makes him less interesting to me (at this point, at least) than Granny or Vimes. Those characters were angry at something, usually the injustices of one group of persons against another. In contrast, Rincewind's grousing is so democratic and diffuse than he feels unfocused, like a rocket trying to take off while anchored to the ground.
While this characterization allows Pratchett to poke fun broadly at the window-dressing of Fantasy, it doesn't allow him to wield the genre as an incisive lens on human nature. In time, I think we'll see Pratchett use humor to channel his anger to a keen point of light, achieving a witty and at times profoundly satirical humanism. But not quite yet.
So It Begins
Of course, it's a matter of perspective. What doesn't quite work for me may very well work for you.
Honestly, I'm kind of fascinated by the differences. To me, The Colour of Magic feels like a developmental step toward the world in which semaphore towers twinkle at the night, Dwarves speak about gender in hushed tones, and steam engine time rolls across the Sto plains. Notably, a number of key Pratchett leitmotifs take their first bow here—stories begetting realities, a reverence for craft-workers, the problem of going home, a fascination with machines. Even though The Colour of Magic lacks the focus of future books, it connects many of the pieces. Sometimes backwards or upside down, but it gets the job done.
And, by the end of the book, a subtle transformation is underway. As Rincewind and Twoflower set off from an island where an ancient space-faring troll lives alone at the edge of the world, there is the sense of inexorable, subtly elegiac movement toward something brighter and sharper.
Welcome to the Disc.

Several months ago, I took my nephews to see Brave because I wanted them to see a fairytale with a strong heroine and not just one that sleeps in a tower somewhere waiting for a man to rescue her. All too often, children grow up reading (and subconsciously believing) that the role of the woman is to wait for her prince and the role of the man is to rescue her. Clearly, those roles have changed considerably, but I think a little bit of the damage from those old-school fairytales lingers at times. I still see it amongst my own group of friends. When things go wrong, or the car breaks down, they revert back to that little girl state and start looking for the white horse to come riding in instead of working it out on their own as they would with any other problem.
Now, you might wonder why it is so important to me to teach this to my nephews. Here's why: 1) I don't have nieces and 2) We can't expect gender roles to change if we don't change them from both sides. Many of the divorced men I know confess to feeling undue pressure, whether real or perceived, to "always take care of everything" and that, ultimately, they were responsible for carrying the weight of the entire family. That way of thinking puts a lot of undue pressure on both the man and the relationship. Couples are supposed to be partners. I know I would prefer to be a partner than to be perceived as the baggage weighing someone down. I want to contribute equally in all matters and to be thought of as an equal partner.
As for the boys, this life lesson comes in the form of a cartoon, not some big sit-down talk. They are just children, after all, but I don't fill their heads with the fairytales I grew up on because I don't think they are productive in today's world. I laughed for ten minutes during Shrek the Third when Fiona's character gets trapped with the other princesses and they "assume the stance" and wait to be rescued which meant napping, laying down and various forms of sitting pretty. Fiona, being the take charge ogre that she is, proceeds to find a way out and kick some serious butt in the process. Now, we just have to move even further away from the myth that you can't be feminine and kick ass at the same time... baby steps. So, when I watch cartoons with the little men in my life, I prefer to watch this type because they plant a very important seed early on and, with a little guidance, I hope they will be better men for it someday!
For women that have already been raised on old school fairytales, I recommend the following: SheNow.org, theconversation.tv and SheQuotes.com. They are all run by very strong women and they have continued messages of support and empowerment for women by women.

$23.00 + NYS Taxes
Product Description
CKLS-Colon, Kidney, Liver and Spleen equals DETOXING THE BODY OF POISONS THAT MAKE YOU FAT, TIRED AND SLUGGISH! The colon is the center of the body and It is said that all sickness begins in the colon and then spreads through the body affecting the blood, brain and other organs. The purpose of the colon is to expel the toxins and wastes that it collects from other organs in the body. When waste matter sits in our colon, it allows proteins to putrefy, fats become rancid, and carbohydrates ferment. Even with one bowel movement per day, you will still have at least two meals worth of waste matter putrefying in your colon at all times. If the colon is not operating efficiently and not kept cleansed of encrusted toxins and waste, then it will begin recycling waste back into the body, which will absorb into the bloodstream and accumulate in our organs. The longer your body is exposed to these conditions, the more risk of absorbing these dangerous intestinal toxins, causing dis-ease. The herbs in New Body's C.K.L.S. formula have successfully been used to help eliminate toxins from the colon, kidneys, liver, and spleen. One of the best things about this cleanse, unlike any others you may have tried, CKLS does not gripe the stomach.

Artificial Intelligence – Definition is as follows "the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages." The films which based on AI started On April 24th with Wally Pfister's Transcendence – a film in which the scope of artificial intelligence is presented in an exciting way.
Transcendence is not only very exciting but with Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman, Paul Bettany, Kate Mara and Cillian Murphy even studded cast. A feast for friends powerful stories and outstanding acting performances.
Announcing the launch of the science fiction film Transcendence Cinefacts has selected eleven of the best works on the subject of artificial intelligence, which are impressive in the highest degree. Have fun with it!.
1. Transcendence
Director: Wally Pfister
In Transcendence Johnny Depp Dr. Will Caster, leading researcher plays in the field of artificial intelligence. Together with his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall), he has succeeded to create computer systems that function like brains, but still competent. If perpetrated by technology skeptics stop Will is seriously injured. Evelyn but it manages to combine Wills brain to the computer system. An experiment with far-reaching consequences … The Oscar-winning cinematographer Wally Pfister ( Inception ) has with his directorial debut Transcendence created a milestone of artificial intelligence film that is not only exciting but also deals with scientific and philosophical aspects of enormous consequences.
2. Ghost in the Shell
Director: Mamoru Oshii
The film Ghost in the Shell is regarded as classic science fiction anime and contributed to the growing international popularity of anime in it. The story takes place in 2029, humans and cyborgs live in peaceful coexistence. Almost all people have changed their bodies with artificial implants. Only the human brain can not be synthetically manufactured. The danger now of a super-hacker who calls himself "Puppet Master." He can hack into the brains. The person then acts like a mindless puppet. The film is put in response to the crisis in the Japanese economy and politics in the early 1990s. Also, the artificial intelligence movie had an impact on other movies like Matrix and I, Robot.
3. I, Robot
Director: Alex Proyas
1. A robot may not harm or allow harm to people through inaction.
2. A robot must execute any command given by a human being, but only if this the first law is not broken.
3. A robot must protect its existence unless it is against the first or second law.
The Asimovian robot laws form the basis of SciFi Action agent I, Robot with Will Smith in the lead role. But what if an artificial superintelligence own logic which would have the enslavement of mankind to follow? And what if a robot exists, the emotion has to enable him to opt for a noble goal to strict compliance with the law? The community of volunteers filming a book of science fiction writer Isaac Asimov is not only rapidly staged, but also full of questions, the answers to which would require a long philosophical discourse.
Director: Steven Lisberger
Jeff Bridges is in TRON seen as computer genius Flynn, who tried Ed Dillinger, the ruthless leader of a media empire to stop after it has been stolen from him. But Dillinger's MCP, an emotionless, artificial intelligence, which develops itself, controlled cyberspace and preventing any intrusion into protected sectors. As Flynn and some programmer friends try in the system to hack again, the increasingly powerful MCP transfers it into the digital world of cyberspace. TRON was one of the first films in which extended computer-generated sequences were used and is still regarded as a milestone in the history of computer animation. Also, the film in 1983 was nominated for two Oscars. In 2010 appeared with Tron: Legacy, the sequel to the gaudy spectacle.
5. WarGames – War Games
Director: John Badham
The horror scenario that WarGames – War Games designs, was still red hot, especially in the 1980s. The Cold War was raging, the nuclear arsenals on both sides were bulging, and the computer technology has been used increasingly. The fact that it was the teenager David (Matthew Broderick) the trainable NORAD computer WOPR activated and thereby almost initiates the destruction of the world, may indeed look a bit more far-fetched, but completely out of thin air.
6. AI – Artificial Intelligence
Director: Steven Spielberg
The science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg is set in a not too distant future, in a research laboratory, the first intelligent robot arises with human feelings in the form of eleven David. But his "adoptive parents" are overwhelmed with the artificial replacement child and put him out. Left to their own tried David to fathom its origin and the secret of its existence. Thus begins an incredible odyssey of adventure, danger, and mysterious encounters … AI – Artificial Intelligence was nominated in 2002 to the right for an Oscar and Golden Globe. Although the film went away empty-handed, after all, It is one of the most important artificial intelligence movie ever.
7. 2001: A Space Odyssey
Director: Stanley Kubrick
The philosophical sci-fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey is a central work in certain respects, Stanley Kubrick. It raises more questions than it answers. In the movie, people have conquered outer space.

On board only the astronauts are Poole (Gary Lockwood), and Bowman (Keir Dullea) awake the rest of the crew is in hibernation. Increasingly, however, the onboard computer HAL 9000 is a threat … The film was realized with a revolutionary knitting technique that decisively shaped the genre "science fiction" in the following years. Also, It was the most financially successful film of 1968. Kubrick's space show won the Oscar in 1969 for the special effects.
8. Blade Runner
Director: Ridley Scott
The first Hollywood film from director Ridley Scott is one of the absolute cult films of the genre and is considered atmospherically and visually major influence on the later, also formed in the 1980s literary direction Cyberpunk.

Your bad luck that Blade Runner Deckard (Harrison Ford) is attached to it. He is a hardened pro when it comes to detecting replicants and destroy. Noteworthy is the outstanding visual design, detailed sets and the soundtrack by Vangelis. Rightly, the film received two nominations for the Oscar (Best Art Direction and Best Visual Effects) and a Golden Globe nomination for the music of Vangelis.
9. Matrix
Director Wachowski siblings
In Matrix Keanu Reeves plays the hacker Neo, which is contacted over the Internet by a mysterious underground organization.

The elaborate film is one of the milestones of the genre and got two sequels, which were similarly successful.
10. Terminator
Director: James Cameron, among others
Since the entire Terminator series related, should be emphasized at this point no particular part. It is the entire structure, which makes the sci-fi action franchise so fascinating. A man-Artificial Intelligence – Skynet – it is namely that ensures that rise the machines largely take control and want to switch off the later resistance fighter John Connor in the past to have full reign in the future. Admittedly, this sounds departed abundant, and honestly, it is that too. The advantage in the Terminator series is that even those who can not understand the story nevertheless arrived at their expense because of the extremely high fun factor. Hasta la vista, baby!
11. Her
Director: Spike Jonze
The romantic sci-fi movie Her with Joaquin Phoenix in the main role shortly and shows the great sensible Theodore, who lives them to write touching personal letters for other people. His failed longstanding relationship has broken his heart – the more receptive he responds to its new operating system, which is touted him as intuitive, independent personality. As Theodore boots the system, it can be enchanted by "Samantha" friendly voice, your friendship will be soon intense – until they finally fall in love. Spike Jonze quirky romantic drama received numerous nominations at this year's Oscars and Golden Globes. For the script, he was ultimately awarded respectively. A nomination of Scarlett Johansson for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes was rejected since it can be seen even once in the film.

F.B.I. Confirms a Sharp Rise in Mass Shootings Since 2000
WASHINGTON — A report released by the F.B.I. on Wednesday confirmed what many Americans had feared but law enforcement officials had never documented: Mass shootings have risen drastically in the past half-dozen years.
There were, on average, 16.4 such shootings a year from 2007 to 2013, compared with an average of 6.4 shootings annually from 2000 to 2006. In the past 13 years, 486 people have been killed in such shootings, with 366 of the deaths in the past seven years. In all, the study looked at 160 shootings since 2000. (Shootings tied to domestic violence and gangs were not included.)
Many of the sprees ended before the police arrived, the report said. In 44 of the 64 cases in which the F.B.I. was able to determine the length of the shooting, the gunfire lasted less than five minutes. Twenty-three shootings ended in less than two minutes. In 64 of the 160 total cases, the gunmen committed suicide.
The report was prompted by the spate of mass shootings in recent years, like those at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. It measured "active" shootings, which the F.B.I defined as committed by "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area."
After the Sandy Hook massacre, in which 20 children were killed, President Obama announced that administration and law enforcement officials would study how the country could stop the shootings from occurring.
There was a widespread belief that the number of shootings had risen significantly, but the federal government had no uniform way of tracking them. As part of the administration's efforts, the F.B.I., which keeps track of national crime statistics, was asked to determine whether the shootings had increased. The report was the first time that the federal government had determined the number of active shootings over a significant period of time, according to the F.B.I.
Academics had previously tried to quantify active shootings by using news media reports. In the new study, the F.B.I. relied on court documents, reports from all of its 56 field offices, and news media reports. The team of agents and analysts who worked on the study said they would use the numbers as a baseline in studying other shooting trends.
The report raised questions about the effect the active shootings are having on law enforcement officers who respond to the grisly scenes. It also reinforced one of the recommendations from the administration's study: that local officers need to be better trained and equipped to stop gunmen intent on slaughter.
In 21 of 45 shootings in which officers confronted the gunmen, nine officers were killed and 28 were wounded. Four officers were killed in ambushes, and in three cases, armed security guards who were not law enforcement officers were killed. In two other shootings, two unarmed security officers were killed and two were wounded.
Officers killed the gunmen at the scene in 21 of the cases. Nine gunmen who exchanged fire with the police committed suicide, and two surrendered.
Just two of the 160 shootings involved more than one gunman, and six of the killers were women. Two of the twelve shootings that occurred at colleges or universities were by women.
Roughly 45 percent of the shootings occurred in offices or stores, and about 25 percent at schools or universities. Other sites included military bases, government offices, homes, places of worship and medical facilities. In 24 of the 160 shootings, the gunmen attacked more than one location. Active shootings occurred in all but 10 states.
The most deadly shooting occurred at Virginia Tech in 2007. In that shooting, 32 people were killed and 17 were wounded. The most injuries — 58 of them — resulted from the shooting at the Aurora, Colo., movie theater, where 12 people were killed.
F.B.I. analysts said that many of the gunmen had studied high-profile shootings, like the one at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999, before going on their own killing sprees.
The analysts said the gunmen had been attracted to the attention that mass killers received. They were often motivated by a sense that they had no other way to resolve the issues they faced other than violently lashing out, the analysts said.
An article on Sept. 25 about a Federal Bureau of Investigation study on shootings referred incorrectly at several points to the type of shooting incidents the bureau was examining. The study focused on "active shooter" incidents, not "mass shootings." An "active shooter" incident was defined as "a situation in which a shooting is in progress and an aspect of the crime may affect the protocols used in responding to and reacting at the scene of the incident." (As the article correctly noted, the report did in fact show an increase in mass shootings, although the study focused on a specific type of shooting situation that law enforcement and the public may face that did not encompass all gun-related situations.)

Monitoring financial markets in the summertime season…
Recent past stock-index futures have been 95% sideways chop with +/-5% spurts of directional surge moves. In all my years of trading I have never found any way to consistently profit from all chop => no directional movement. More on that thought to follow in a bit.
Illiquid sessions look like those above. Constant, relentless back-chop. Red-green-red-green-green-red-red-green… every single move is countered by an opposing move, all day & night. That is the visual footprint of algos deliberately hunting open orders, right there in front of your eyes. Fewer and fewer open orders each day, as fewer traders return to the fray.
That relentless algo chop is impossible to consistently profit from. Regardless whether you trade pullbacks, breakouts or both (there is no other macro style) you experience the same results. Take a trade long or short, watch it move in favor for a tiny bit unrealized gain, then against your position for equal or greater unrealized loss. Then back to entry-par, then tiny gain, then greater loss. Over and over and over again.
Seldom do you have the chance to close out for modest to large profit. Constantly you deal with decisions to close out at small to modest loss or risk each loss to increase. Increase to unknown degree and size. You find yourself trading out of a hole every single day. Small losses all added up or one big loss if you're still stupid enough to use large stops against small targets.
I'd like to think all traders in today's modern world are fully aware that net-loss MUST be smaller than net-gain on average in order to succeed. Nobody in the history of ever in the trading world sustains a win/loss avg greater than maybe 60% at most. At most. More like 50% or less win-loss averages over time is realistic. Anything you hear or read otherwise is complete and utter bullshit.
Crude Oil futures for the most part, identical. Brief directional spurts and bursts, endless hours of no-range chop.
Now just this week, for the first time in weeks we see rather normal price behavior relative to historical past. Price starts off one direction, fails to follow-thru, reverses course and trends directionally the other way. Classic failed one way = successful the opposite way tech analysis behavior. BTW… technical analysis really works inside ANY normal market movement. NOTHING works inside any no-range, dead-chop HFT pins. Make sure you keep that distinction fresh in your mind.
As for me? I'm on the proverbial sidelines, waiting to see days like the past two return to common behavior for weeks on end. If you find it possible to make intraday trading actual $$ returns worth your time spent sitting in front of screens, that is great. When I see sustained, constant market conditions that make my time vs $$ worthwhile, I will do the same 🙂

Senior quarterback Martrell Berry ran for a 1-yard touchdown with no time left on the clock, and Tates Creek beat Paul Dunbar 13-7 Friday night.
Berry struggled all game, going 0-for-10 with an interception and running for just seven yards on seven carries. But the last yard was all that mattered. It capped a 14-play drive that started at Commodores' 39 and took 7:04 off the clock.
The workhorse for Creek (3-4) along the way was running back Dennis Oxendine. He ran for 34 of his 175 yards on the drive and set up Berry's touchdown with a 2-yard plunge.
Oxendine opened the scoring with a 4-yard run with 1:42 left in the first quarter.
Tates Creek's defense held the Bulldogs (0-6) to 126 yards of total offense. The Commodores finished with 279, all on the ground.
Trinity 41, No. 4 St. Xavier 6: Travis Wright threw two touchdown passes to James Quick, and Quick added a TD throw of his own as the Shamrocks cruised in their first game against Kentucky competition in front of about 30,000 fans at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium in Louisville..
Wright went 17-for-23 for 252 yards, with 155 of them coming from eight passes to Quick. In the fourth quarter, Quick completed a 36-yard pass to Andrew Wall.
Dalyn Dawkins added 139 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries for Trinity (6-0), which is averaging 43.5 points a game.
St. X (3-4) managed 304 total yards but could only find the end zone on Alex Mattingly's 32-yard run with 35 seconds left in the first half.
Breathitt Co. 54, Magoffin Co. 14: Breathitt County scored three defensive touchdowns in the first quarter and finished its scoring with 11:42 left in the second quarter in a rout on the road.
After Richard Trent threw three touchdown passes and Ryan Cox returned a punt 72 yards for a score to make it 26-0, the Bobcats' defense got in on the fun.
Will Collins intercepted a pass and pitched the ball to Brayton Fugate, who ran it in from 32 yards out. Then Ben Hayes returned an interception on his own for 49 yards and a score. Finally, Collins recovered a fumble and ran it back 24 yards to make it 47-0 with time running out in the first.
Jonathan Gilbert ran for a 38-yard touchdown to complete the scoring at the start of the second for Breathitt (7-0). The Bobcats, ranked fifth in Class 3A by Dave Cantrall's Rating the State, have won six of their seven games by an average margin of 36.8 points. Their only close game came last Friday against Hazard, a 35-34 win at home.
Collins 39, Shelby Co. 0: Senior running back Michael Brooks scored three times and rolled up 136 yards on six carries as Collins cruised to its second straight shutout.
Brooks scored on runs of 59, 61 and 2 yards, and backfield mate DeAndre Farris added 126 yards on 13 carries.
Franklin Co. 40, East Jessamine 29: Down 21-7 at halftime, host Franklin County scored 25 in the third quarter. Cameron Thomas' 373 yards and three touchdowns on 34 carries weren't enough.
Daniel Anderson got the surge started with a 77-yard run on the Flyers' first offensive play of the half. Then, after an onside kick, Ryan Timmons ran for his second touchdown, a 34-yarder at 8:04, with just seven seconds of clock expiring between scores.
That made it 21-19 East Jessamine but, less than four minutes later, Chris Roberts capped a seven-play drive with a 3-yard plunge into the end zone to give Franklin County (7-0) a 26-21 lead.
But Timmons wasn't done. Three plays after the Flyers stopped the Jaguars on fourth-and-3 at their 12-yard line, Timmons caught an 86-yard touchdown pass from Logan Woodside for an 11-point lead.
East Jessamine's Thomas answered less than a minute later with a 76-yard run, but Roberts finished the Flyers' scoring with a 6-yard run at 10:36 in the fourth.
The Jaguars amassed 465 total yards, only 22 through the air on one pass completion.

If you prefer to call us directly:
Seams and openings in electronic devices provide avenues for rogue energy waves to enter or exit a device, causing erratic performance. This is known as EMI (electromagnetic interference). Managing electromagnetic interference commonly includes a specialized form of EMI shielding or use of an EMI absorber
EMI SHIELDING: Boyd's LectroShield fabric-over-foam, conductive foam, elastomers, adhesives, and metal foils are designed to manage interference energy, improving reliability and efficiency in device performance. These solutions are ideal for EMI RFI shielding applications requiring excellent shielding performance as well as high conformability, compressibility, cushioning, tight contact and dimensionally tight tolerances. These can be designed for electronic devices that need soft cushion and tight contact with a conductive function.
EMI ABSORBER: Boyd's LectroShield EMI absorbers are designed to eliminate unwanted electrical "noise" in an electronic device. Different to shielding solutions, an EMI absorber is intended to absorb unwanted energy, controlling and minimizing internal interference and crosstalk, and is commonly used as a last minute fix to manage EMI concerns where device redesign is not possible. EMI absorbers can be flexible or rigid, easy to die cut, are dielectric so they can be used near metals, do not need to be grounded and available with PSA. For these reasons, EMI absorber applications are diverse and vary greatly from a more traditional EMI shielding gasket.Contact Us Download Line Card Download Technical Paper

Crickets escaped.
Since my local petco doesn't sell crickets in plastic bags anymore I've been getting the ones in those plastic boxes. The container says that they're already gut loaded but I always give them some veggies before I feed them to my leopard gecko. So yesterday I give them some spinach and left them in their box for the night.
Today I woke up to find that a cricket was crawling around my room so I check the box thinking that I must've not closed it all the way and found that there were only two crickets in the box, no spinach left and a hole chewed through the lid. Now there is 30 something crickets loose in my room. >.<

You think thats bad. I had a cricket cage with about 80 small med. crickets in it, and i dropped it on the floor ...the lid popped off and the crickets began their descent!! I was so shocked I didnt know what to do.... I hate touching them so my boyfriend grabbed as many as he could, and I was frozen watching them spread out. Then I pulled out the vacuum. LoL it was a waste of crickets but I managed to get the majority..I did have random crickets for a few weeks though... what an ordeal!!

Already rolled into the Pegasus spyware product and used to target social activists, the vulnerabilities are fixed in iOS 9.3.5.
Apple, today, released patches for a trio of iOS zero-day vulnerabilities that, when used together, enable an attacker to remotely, silently jailbreak the device phone and install highly sophisticated spyware upon it.
The vulnerabilities, collectively called "Trident," are patched in iOS version 9.3.5. They include CVE-2016-4655, Memory Corruption in Webkit, CVE-2016-4656, Information leak in Kernel, and CVE-2016-4657, Kernel Memory corruption leads to Jailbreak.
The discovery was made by Lookout and Citizen Lab, who worked with Apple on the patch before making the disclosure. Citizen Lab was tipped off to the bugs first by United Arab Emirates-based human rights defender Ahmed Mansoor, who reported that he had received suspicious text messages. Citizen Lab and Lookout investigated, and found that Mansoor — who has been targeted by "lawful intercept malware" in the past — was now being targeted by Francisco Partners Management's Pegasus spyware product, which was now equipped to exploit this trio of undisclosed iOS zero-day vulnerabilities.

Handiedan presents Sirenum Scopuli at Phone Booth Gallery
Phone Booth Gallery is proud to present "Sirenum Scopuli," a solo exhibition of fifteen mixed media works by the Amsterdam based artist HANDIEDAN.
"Sirenum Scopuli" is a unique collection of classic pinup influenced cut-and-paste delicacies wrapped in contemporary antiquity. Using yellowed sheet music, old fashioned playing cards, pinups, and a playful mixture of filigree and doodles, she creates a newfangled amalgamation of imagery. Exploring many concepts such as temptation,beauty, and deceit, it is by no coincidence that the show's title is drawn straight from Winslow Homer's "The Odyssey." Surrounded by vintage salon seats adorned with hooded hair dryers,
Salon Pop and Barber Shop in Long Beach provides the setting for the evening's events. A stripped awning out front, throwback green/blue paint on the inside and a soundtrack of 60's and 70's rarities is sure to attract an inquisitive mind.
The exhibit will run from November 29, 2008 to December 31, 2008 at www.phoneboothgallery.com and the opening party will be held on November 29 from 7pm-10pm. The All
Ages event will be located at Salon Pop and Barber Shop, 1085 Redondo

Since the campaign is now over… Some unsolicited options on what I thought was missing from the NDP's marketing.
A lack of Soul
The ads were over-written and tried to infuse that "I'm just like you" messaging, which deadens personification. Actively drawing parallels between politician and electorate in the first person cheapens policy message. Let other people talk about the leaders roots.
The lack of soulfulness is also the direct result of the corporatization of the 'message.' Simply put, 'too many cooks.' Instead of the small risk-taking team in 2011 that shaped the messaging there we levels of managers, micromanaging the message and losing the ability to takes risks and to even generate original content reflexively. The shift in the messaging that occurred in 2011 happened because the team was able to pivot, but maintained consistency in the message, despite the shift that happened around the platform launch, mostly because the shift happened within the scope of the parties core values
Doubting Thomas
"Tom's Story" ad,
for some reason labelled "NDP VIDEO"
Failure to launch
On the key issues and messaging about their opponents, the New Democrat campaign failed to capitalize on some very massive weaknesses. Letting Stephen Harper's poor judgement on Duffy/Wright/Novak affair out of their grasp. And, mostly the Liberals, with C-51, the Liberal leaders own appalling QP and Vote attendance. In 2011 the Ignatieff's record in the House became a big part of framing the Liberals decline. It marked a shift that was referenced earlier in the parties platform launch comms materials and the English language debate itself. Leaving those key planks out of the fray and letting the Liberals side-step their own record. A lack of explainer materials on C-51, a microsite, a video with series of sharable graphics, prewritten Facebook and Twitter updates citing specifics about what Canadians lose with C-51. And, this also leans into the Liberals support of it. Too many missed opportunities to bury the Liberals under their own duplicitous means.
The non-existent ad buy, I am not sure where the strategy was. Where ads were supposed to be seen. I am sure there's some focus group data showing why spreading the buy out over all these other places will accumulate more viewers and influence more voters over the life of the campaign. No, having some good ads showing during the Jays playoff run, during Hockey Night in Canada and other events is key. Especially having a couple explainer pieces about the Trudeau Liberals support of C-51, or the Liberal leaders awful record in Parliament. In 2011, the party paid for a YouTube take over that saw 9 million views of the parties end game ads, all you see is Trudeau striding towards the camera telling you about "Stephen Harper not liking him."
All of the speeches I saw Tom give were over-written. And his 'jabs' at opponents had no bite to them.
Here are two ads… They're about the same thing. The one on the left is the "NDP ONLINE AD" made for #Elxn42. The other is the unused 30 second edit of the "Affordable Childcare" video I made from the Policy Announce prior to the 2015 Election. The one for made for the election features a beat red Thomas Mulcair very obviously reading from a poorly placed tele-prompter (or iPad with an App) nearby the camera he is supposed to be making his direct address to. The one on the right uses the very coherent policy announcement, cut with footage from the same event of Tom touring a local daycare and gleefully engaging with the kids.
Side X Side
"NDP ONLINE AD: Affordable childcare"
The unused "Affordable childcare"
The A-Team
A program of policy specific explainer materials, like Childcare, like the $15 minimum wage, like the Pharmacare program. Explainer videos featuring the MP's whom would likely be the cabinet minister, or the previous critic for the file… There was a bit of this with Andrew Thompson, but not enough. How about for instance, the Cap & Trade program explained by Megan Leslie & Anne Quach? The Aboriginal Affairs platform explainer presented by Niki Ashton, Romeo Saganash and Charlie Angus? The $15 Minimum wage presented by Peggy Nash, Alexandre Boulerice? The $15 a day childcare program explainer presented by Nathan Cullen and Ruth-Ellen Brousseau?
The NDP has the strongest front bench in politics, I don't care who the Liberals or Conservatives trot out. They were totally not used. And with a leader running his first campaign, it would be essential to reinforce the identity of the party with a strong second chorus. Those benches are rife with talent, experience and wisdom.
The materials were beautifully designed, technically proficient, the events were STUNNING. By far leagues above both eh Liberals and Conservatives. The shots were always immaculate.
It's disheartening to say all this, but I've been holding my breath on materials about C-51, Trudeau's Parliamentary record and some more abrasive materials about the Harper Conservative PMO corruption. I've been waiting for some form of material that has the passionate dialogue you hear in the breath of New Democrats day-in, day-out. But, the parties message was washed out and the efforts to personify Tom were too literal and as a result were overselling.
The NDP team is an incredibly talent group of people, but in preparation for this election they went a little too kung-ho in distributing managerial duties across too many people. Especially for their communication and advertising products. The result was a series sterile ads that failed to diffuse the purpose of profit of an NDP Government lead by Tom Mulcair.
