The Austin Game Conference (AGC), with presenting sponsor Electronic Arts, is proud to welcome Jamil Moledina, Games Strategic Lead, Google Play, as a 2016 keynote speaker. AGC, taking place September 21-22 at the Austin Convention center, is the longest running event dedicated to serving the needs of online game developers. Attendees receive critical insight into developing live, participatory games with real-time engagement between developers, players and spectators.
Moledina will discuss "The Next Frontier", a new inflection point in games. Prior mobile, PC, and console models start to dissolve when gameplay, community, and new technology are tuned with a glove-like fit. The overnight success of Pokemon GO visibly resets the expectations on AR. At the same time, promising new experiences that can only be had in VR, are now emerging. Moledina will explain how Google thinks about and works with these trends, and how the company is partnering with game creators to explore the next frontier.
With 20 years of industry experience, going from GDC director to game startup CEO, Moledina now leads games strategic partnerships at Google Play to bring great games to Android platforms. This includes setting outreach strategy for curating key game segments on the store, ranging from AAA publishers to indies. Through Google Play, Jamil also manages the curation of games portfolios for nascent platforms, currently for Daydream, Google's high performance mobile VR platform.
"Jamil and Google are uniquely positioned; with a combination of extensive game experience and keen management in growing innovative platforms," says Austin Game Conference Executive Director Christopher Sherman. "Game developers are constantly looking to differentiate their games and provide original experiences to gamers. I look forward to hearing how Google is embracing and leading the next frontier in games."
"Games are again a powerful force in pop culture, by bringing unique experiences to mobile, AR, and VR," says Jamil Moledina, the Games Strategic Lead at Google Play. "We're looking forward to connect with developers of all sizes at the conference and explore new channels to reach gamers and build successful businesses."
Austin Game Conference 2016 Highlights:

Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Senior Software Platform Manager
My Electrical Engineering degree provided me with the solid technical skills I needed to gain a position in a high tech industry in Silicon Valley.
I chose UWA because it is the best university in Western Australia and one of the best universities in the nation. It was also because UWA offered interesting courses and variety of options.
UWA offered strong academic courses in Electrical Engineering, and the lecturers and professors are of high caliber. Throughout the study, we had many hands on projects and lab sessions. It prepared me well for joining the high tech field later. In addition, the business degree I earned has helped me greatly in my career growth from engineer to management.
My family migrated from China when I was 16, I went through a period of culture shock and adjustment. UWA had a good mix of students from different ethnic backgrounds. Being Chinese myself, I found it very comforting to have many fellow classmates who were from Asia.
I chose Electrical Engineering because it is a challenging degree that would offer me both an interesting and well paid job after graduating.
My Electrical Engineering degree provided me with the solid technical skills I needed to gain a position in a high tech industry in Silicon Valley. I'm currently working at Nvidia Corporation, a semiconductor company in Silicon Valley, USA. We make graphics chips for variety of platforms such as PC gaming, mobile gaming, high performance computing, etc. I joined Nvidia eight years ago as a software engineer, and now I'm managing the software quality control group for Nvidia's high performance computing products. I have teams in Santa Clara (the headquarter), USA and Shanghai, China.
Every day, I come to work and look forward to solving challenging problems at work, looking for new ways to improve our products' quality.

First time traveler to Palm Springs, need a hotel near airport for one night,so that in the morning I can go back to airport to rent a car. I have a very late flight in around 1:00am or later, and all car rentals are shut down, I don;t even know if any Ground transportation is running that late at night. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!! Thanks Paul:

Choosing the best breast pump can be overwhelming. There are just too many options! The best way to determine which pump is best for you is to think about how you plan to use it. Pricier models are usually more powerful and better for moms who pump multiple times a day. But, if you'll only need to use it occasionally to make a bottle for the babysitter or while traveling, you can get away with spending less. Some moms may even opt for two types of pumps – one for everyday and another for traveling. Once you decide on a model, take your time learning about how it works and becoming comfortable with it. When you feel ready to use it, a breast pump can make life as a new mom a whole lot easier.
Hospital Grade Electric Breast Pumps
These are heavy-duty pumps with powerful motors and a greater amount of "sucks" per minute. They extract milk in no time flat and are generally pretty quiet. Hospital-grade pumps are usually rented since they are upwards of $1,000 to purchase. However, your health insurance may be able to cover a portion of the cost, so check with your insurance provider if you want to go with a hospital-grade breast pump.
This site spent 37 hours on research, videography and editing to review the top selections for the 7 best hospital grade electric breast pumps. Click here for the full report.
Personal Electric Breast Pumps
The double electric breast pumps empty both breasts at the same time and typically come with a carrying case. These types of breast pumps are the most popular because they provide a balance between efficiency and portability:
- Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump with On-the-Go tote (all-in-one, and most popular of all), available for ~$260 on Amazon and Target and many other retailers
- Spectra S2 breast pump set with tote and cooler, cheapest is ~$194 from Groupon
- Ameda Purely Yours Ultra, cheapest is ~$159 from Amazon
- Hygeia Q with basic tote, available for ~$199 from Walmart
- Tomy Quiet Expressions, available for ~$60 from Amazon and Target
- Nuk Expressive, cheapest for ~$60 from both Target and Amazon
- Lansinoh SignaturePro, available for ~$115 from Walmart
(image source: www.breastpumps.aeroflowinc.com/breast-pumps)
Manual Breast Pumps
These pumps lack a motor, so they are quiet and small, making them a good choice for travel for the occasional pumping. The downside: your hands do all the motor work, so it can be exhausting.
The five most popular manual pumps are:
- Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump (most popular and highest user ratings for manual breast pump), available for ~$34 at both Target and Amazon
- Ameda One Hand Breast Pump, available for ~$47 at Target
- Philips Avent Manual Comfort Breast Pump, available for ~$27 at Target, Walmart, and Amazon
- Lansinoh Manual Breast Pump, available for ~$25 at Target, Walmart, and Amazon
- Tommee Tippee Manual Breast Pump, cheapest is ~$50 from Fishpond

The Amtrak Cascades
I flew from Los Angeles to Seattle first thing Friday morning. It was raining, its Seattle...of course it was raining. DUH!! I needed to find myself a jacket OR an umbrella. The hotel had an umbrella for me to use so that was nice! I dropped my bags in my room and headed out to find a jacket and find Pikes Market for some much anticipated seafood!
Pikes Market, Seattle, WA
Pikes Market, Seattle, WA
Oyster Shooters and Shrimp Cocktail a.k.a. pure heaven
People....you don't know a good shrimp until you've had these suckers...I'm telling you...they were to DIE for!
Pikes Market, Seattle, WA
Oh to have been able to ship some home!!
(btw....you can! They DO ship!...I just didn't have anyone to receive my packages while I was away :( )
Continuing on....Saturday morning I took a cab to King Street Train Station to head to Vancouver, BC!!
If you haven't heard of this train trek.....it is on the National Geographic's Top 10 US train rides (check the list out here). This is a MUST do! Note: Pay the extra few dollars for Business Class. You are boarded first, and you may de-train first! I also heard from several passengers that coach was very loud with people talking on phones etc...
Is this a house? I'm not sure...but it made for a cool pic I thought
Somewhere between Seattle and Canada
It was a gloomy morning.
I really like how this pic turned out though.
Amtrak Cascades. The staff were GREAT!!
The first Bald Eagle that I've seen with my own two eyes.
After about 4 hours on the train I arrived in Vancouver, BC! Woot! I had never been before but had heard it was a beautiful city! It was raining just a wee bit but I headed out with my new jacket and the hotel supplied umbrella to find some lunch and a cold beer! I headed down to towards the water and found a Pub called Mahoney & Sons (get the Granville Island Pale Ale and the fish and chips! YUM!).
Moving on..... The next 2 days I shopped, ate plenty of Dungeness Crab, drank a lot of local beer, hiked through Stanley Park (get a map! I got lost...), had brunch at Edible Canada (order the Caesar...its like a Bloody Mary but better!) on Granville Island and picked up some fresh cherries and figs at the Granville Market. The International Jazz Festival was going on so I enjoyed a couple of performances over the weekend.
PS....I can't recommend the Chinese Garden in Chinatown in Vancouver. I didn't think it met all the hype and was really disappointed.
Blue Heron. Stanley Park @ Beaver Lake.
For whatever reason this is the only picture I ended up taking on Granville Island
Ship Propeller.
Monday afternoon I took the Sea Plane over to Victoria, BC. Yes! I got in this little tiny plane!! The Pilot invited me to sit in the Co-Pilot seat...I didn't hesitate AT ALL! Very fun experience!
Harbour Sea Planes. Vancouver, BC

I arrived in Victoria about 35 minutes later....
Victoria, BC
I spent 2 nights in Victoria at The Empress. One night would have been more than plenty in my opinion. I did visit Butchart Gardens and that was enjoyable. I think there are come surrounding islands that folks like visiting.

And for my final vacation day I boarded the Victoria Clipper on Wednesday morning and headed to Seattle to catch my flight back to Los Angeles.
It was an amazing experience. A little lonely at times but I found everyone to be very friendly, accommodating and helpful. This is certainly Solo Traveler friendly! I can't wait to go back to Vancouver and conquer the Suspension bridge! I'm totally afraid of heights but can't imagine NOT doing this!
Thanks for bearing with me on the long post. Have you been to Vancouver? Share your favorite restaurant, bar or activity!

When you find yourself repeating actions in Excel - whether it's a five-step sequence you use when formatting a certain cell type or the 30 steps you use when you sort, filter, and print multiple worksheets once a week, the possibility exists that you can automate these actions in the form of a macro.Thereafter, you can perform these sets of actions with a simple keystroke combination, a button in a worksheet, or by using a button in the Quick Access toolbar.This topic shows you how to create these macro shortcuts, alerts you to situations ideal for creating macros, and explores the actual code (in the language called Visual Basic) created when you record command sequences. This is not a course in Visual Basic, but you will get a quick look at it and understand its role in creating and using macros.Creating a macro may ultimately involve programming techniques but most macros are developed by recording the way you use standard Excel® commands. This topic will show you how to create macros and give you examples of various macros that handle large amounts of information and interact with multiple files. You will also see how to activate a macro with commands, buttons, keystrokes, or pictures.This webinar will utilize GoToWebinar, an internet active tool which allows the speaker to walk through examples in real time. This will be the best way to follow along with the program and a link will be provided for you prior to the program date.AgendaRationale for Using a Macro – Why?
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you
attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live
versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without
any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back
at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous
times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the
presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions.

The New COMMUTER Trailer Is Right On Time
I was already in the bag for The Commuter, the latest PG-13 action fest from Liam Neeson and his main man Jaume Collet-Serra, but this new trailer for the film has me all kinds of pumped. Check it out:
This is a huge improvement over the film's first trailer back in September. Here we get a better idea of the story and a good look at more actors who aren't Liam Neeson, actors who, much to my surprise, include Sam Neill and Jonathan Banks. I'm still curious to see how Neeson's everyman ends up being such an ass-kicker in this one, but I suppose that's half the fun.
The Commuter comes out January 12, which is of course the perfect time for a film like this to hit theaters. And speaking of perfect, check out the hilarious tagline on the film's new poster:
I love it! This movie is welcome to Commute me wherever it wants.

An unsuspecting Wellington resident earned $100 worth of free groceries Jan. 21 after winning the "Supermarket Flash Mob" sponsored by Geyer's Fresh Foods, 209 E. Herrick Ave. in Wellington, and THRIVE! Southern Lorain County.
THRIVE! is a community collaborative that was established in July 2016 through the United Way of Greater Lorain County and local branches of the YMCA of Greater Cleveland partnering with 16 regional nonprofits, municipalities, churches and fitness centers, according to a news release.
The goal of the collaborative is to increase access to affordable opportunities to live healthier through increased physical activity, improved nutrition and informed behavioral health.
Brighton Township, Camden Township, Huntington Township, Kipton Village, Pittsfield Township, Rochester Township, Rochester Village, Wellington Township and Wellington Village are the communities the organization serves.
On Jan. 21, Joe Calfo went to Geyer's with the intent to buy a box of lasagna noodles for his wife, Amy. The media release distributed by THRIVE! said an enthusiastic flash mob surrounded Calfo, who was then taken on a shopping tour led by Cleveland YMCA Registered Dietitian Libby Showalter and Geyer's Manager Sue Kutting.
Showalter prepared a list of nutritious foods and designed a number of meal options with recipes for Calfo's family, the release said. Some of the recipes included a vegetable omelet and soup, salmon patties and black bean and corn quesadillas, among other dishes.
Calfo said he was excited to win the groceries, but he also learned a lot about nutrition.
"Libby focused on using fresh or canned vegetables in almost every meal," he said in the release. "She showed me how to stretch my food budget by using a single ingredient — bread crumbs — in several recipes. I'm looking forward to making her recipes with my wife."

My dear,
The best way to ensure that lucky things happen is to make sure a lot of things happen.
Luck is just a lottery. And you've got to stack the odds in your favor. Everything you do buys a lottery ticket, and you've got to buy a lot. And if you want those odds rigged, you've got to buy multiple tickets, every day of your life, every chance you get. And trust me, it's not easy. The system doesn't go out of it's way to make sure you beat it.
But still, luck's a lottery, stack the odds in your favor.
Falsely yours,
Bo Peabody

If we take the OP as literally written:
... the values of both $first and $last are quite-clearly strings. In order to do arithmetic against them, they must be converted to a numeric form. There are many, many libraries in the CPAN library that are concerned with time, and some of these are built in to the Core so as to be immediately available without installing.
For instance, DateTime takes the now-common approach of treating a date/time as a Perl object. You create one, either specifying a string to be decoded or the individual parts of a time, then you can simply manipulate it using the methods provided.
In this particular case, where a string-format might not be automagically recognized on its own, you might need to break-apart the four parts of the string (e.g. with split() so that you can instantiate the object with the pieces-of-interest as shown in the documentation for DateTime:
You have a rich choice of time-handling modules at your disposal which will take care of all of the niggling problems associated with time encoding/decoding and time-arithmetic.

Bus is probably the most common way to travel around Kosovo. While some of the bigger cities have buses that travel between them, Kosovo's capital of Pristina is the main bus hub. In Pristina (as well as some of the larger cities like Prizren and Peja), you can also catch buses to other countries, like Macedonia and Albania.
The cost of travel varies depending on where you are going, but it's usually between 50 cents and 4 Euro (or more, if you're traveling to another country). You pay in cash once you get on the bus.
Most buses have overhead storage for smaller pieces of luggage. Larger pieces are stored in compartments below the bus. This freaked me out the first time I had to store my luggage, but I've never had a problem with things getting stolen. (I look at it as a way to practice my faith in humanity/God/the Universe. ;))
The bus stations in Kosovo's bigger cities are clearly marked (see above). Bus stops in villages are not marked, from what I've seen. You just kind of have to know where to go. If you need to ask a local where to catch the bus, the phrase to use in Albanian (Shqip) is, "Ku eshte stacioni i autobusit?" If I were going to type that out by the way it sounds, it would be something like, "Coo uh-sht stacey-oni ee auto boosit?"
Bus schedules in Kosovo are not entirely reliable, and you may find yourself waiting for the bus longer than you anticipated. It's worth noting that buses do not have bathrooms, so plan ahead when you're traveling. Some of the larger stations have public restrooms (some free, some cost 20-30 cents).
There are several websites/phone apps to check bus schedules in Kosovo. Personally, I use gjirafa.

Mackay youth team impressive at titles
FUTSAL: Mackay's Under-21 youth girls team impressed Mackay Futsal's Germano Ribeiro and their coach Jack Kelly with the performance they put in at the Futsal National Championships in January.
Ribeiro said the team exceeded expectations by making it into the semi-finals.
Not only did they make it, they went through the pool games undefeated against six teams after training together for only about two months.
"The girls, I knew they did have a pretty good team," Ribeiro said.
"They played more with their hearts than with their bodies."
He said Katie Muscat could barely walk properly, let alone run, and still managed to win the golden boot with 16 goals.
Kristen Predebon was also named in the All Stars team.
The team went down in the semi-final, missing out on the grand final and finishing the tournament in third place.
"There is nothing negative I could say about the tournament, what they did, how they worked," coach Jack Kelly said.
"Plus they played during a heatwave, it got up to 43 degrees.
Considering he was called up two months ago to coach them, he also struggled with fielding a full team.
"Two girls from Gympie played for us and another girl didn't turn up," Kelly said.
Luckily, one of the girl's knew someone on holidays in Newcastle who drove to Penrith to be goal keeper in the team.
Mackay also fielded a mixed U9 and Whitsundays U10 teams.
"Even if though they didn't get the results, they were excited and loved the experience," Ribeiro said.

Does what i need it to do and more
Pretty strait forward
These guys went over and beyond to solve the file upload problem i was having in windows.
Very compleate
Was a little tentative at first on buying this component as I was burned from myblog pretty much going unsupported. These guys with their great support azurl should take notes. Fast response and quick answers. Also it imported all the blogs that had already been written.
Works very well cant say enough good things. Also cant say anything about support cause I have not had to use it.
I can not say anything bad about this app. Fast service on problems in the forums. I suggested a plugin for jomcomment and in the next release there it was awesome. this calendar is destined to be the number one choice in joomla.

San Antonio Board of Realtors Hosts the 2017 Housing Forecast for Realtors
Our San Antonio Board of Realtors, SABOR, hosted our 2017 Housing Forecast this past week. A few take aways I will be sharing soon, but one of the points that struck me was a comment by the main speaker, a leading economist, about Millenials buying homes now. He stated that our shortage, not only in San Antonio, but nationwide, has created a low inventory. What happens when you have a short supply in a high demand area? Prices go up of course. This will be happening not only this year but also continue in the next three years. His advise was to buy a home now or prices will be so high that you will not be able to afford in the future what you can buy now.
Further Research Confirms Forecast
I did some further research and this article brings to the forefront the same issue, especially with Millenials. Are you ready to buy a home this year and start your rise to becoming wealthier? Read on and let me know what you think.

Every Thursday morning, the Property Team works for 2-3 hours around the grounds of Holy Trinity to spruce it up before our Sunday worship services. Their usual tasks include minor building repairs, mowing the grass, indoor cleaning, setting up heavy equipment, and painting. After finishing the tasks for the day, they meet for 30 minutes for coffee, snacks, and fellowship. If you are interesting in joining or helping out, contact email@example.com
Our current Property Team leader is David Mercer.
There is always something! With the recent incidents of very heavy rain, we have experienced a couple of minor water intrusion events in the basement. These recent cases have been relatively minor compared to cases we experienced over the past 6-7 years. The water is not deep, at most an 1/8 inch or so in a very predictable pattern and location, but enough to damage any non-water-resistant materials placed directly on the floor in these locations. We know where the water enters and we can reasonably surmise that the problem is an unintended consequence of removing and not replacing damaged roof gutters and downspouts on the right side of our main entrance. When we experience particularly heavy rainfall, there is a considerable build up of water along the building foundation. We believe some of this water finds its way under our building slab, builds up behind the west basement wall, and enters the basement through a wall penetration. The Property Team is reasonably confident that replacement of the missing gutters and downspouts will resolve this issue. Until the matter is resolved, we caution everyone to avoid leaving items directly on certain portions of the basement floor if such items would be damaged by exposure to water. Please see me if you need some additional information about risky storage locations. Then there is the water which is inside the building by plan, but sometimes gets away from us. We recently experienced a toilet blockage problem and overflow. These things happen, but in this case the problem was not reported. Fortunately, no water damage resulted. If you should ever encounter such a problem, please report it as soon as possible. Dave Mercer, Property Team Leader
The Property Team has been busy with the normal outside tasks of mowing, trimming, garden care and such, as well as our normal inside routine of cleaning and minor repairs. Since my last report, the contractor for our basement sump pump system and dehumidifier system has been in to inspect and service this equipment. This equipment is working well with no problems noted. Also, I called our exterminator in to apply chemicals for carpenter ant control in selected areas of the Sanctuary after hearing some reports that these potentially problematic visitors had been seen. Please let me or the office know if you see any problems with insects, rodents, etc.
By the time this report is published, work to seal the parking lot and driveways should be in progress. The work has begun on Tuesday and we're on schedule to complete on time by Friday, concluding with painting of the parking lines. Also, the carpet replacement work in the Gathering Area, Sacristy, first floor hallways, and two first floor classrooms is scheduled to begin on August 7 and be completed in about a week. I have also been working with the Newington Fire Department to obtain a renewal of our permit for the tent. The permit expired on July 1. I anticipate the permit will have been renewed prior to the next planned use for Vacation Bible School. David Mercer, Property Team Leader
With the arrival of warm weather and the spring growing season the Property Team has been busy with mowing, trimming, bushes, plantings and other matters to keep the grounds in good order. The tent is up, a sure sign of the new season and another church picnic. The normal inside routine has continued. The air conditioners have been installed. The Education Office has been repainted and new shelving has been installed. A failed water heater serving the Sacristy and adjoining restroom has been replaced with a new unit. Other routine property matters were resolved. The gas company completed one of its periodic checks for gas leaks in and around the building, and found no issues.
The team has obtained bids for carpet replacement in the Sacristy, first floor hallways, two classrooms, and the Gathering Area. Bids have also been obtained for work to seal the parking lot and driveways and restripe the parking lines. Proposals for the carpet and parking lot work will be presented for approval at the congregational meeting this month.
These are things that jumped to mind as I wrote this blog entry. I probably overlooked something important. Just another few weeks for the Property Team. Stand by for more as the year moves along. David Mercer for the Property Team
Spring has sprung! The mowers have been serviced and put into use for the first time this season. The snow removal equipment has been returned to the storage barn. The tent has been put up (or should I say, pitched) for the season. We all need to remember that our tent requires a permit from the Town of Newington. Our permit allows a maximum of 50 people under the tent at any given time. We will be seeking to renew our permit which expires in July, but the 50 person limit is unlikely to change. As weather permits, we will be doing a variety of outdoor tasks as well as keeping up with the normal indoor routine and projects. Painting and book shelf upgrades in the Education Office are in progress. The Property Team is seeking bids for carpet replacement for several areas of the building (Sacristy, first floor hallways, back classrooms), and is also seeking bids to seal and stripe the parking lot and driveways. If council concurs, we anticipate bringing proposals for this work to the congregational meeting in June. If approved, the parking lot work would be done this summer, and the carpet work would done when it can be scheduled with suppliers. David Mercer, Property Team Leader
Martha and I will be leaving for Florida about January 24th and will be returning about the second week of April. During my absence, Barry Philbrick will be coordinating the activities of the Thursday Morning Group and will be the point of contact for general property matters except for the period February 3-16 when he will also be away. Property issues can always be brought to the attention of the church office who can reach me by e-mail. See you in the spring! Dave Mercer, Property Team Leader
It is that time of year when we have to think about the inevitable reality of winter ... snow and ice. It is worth taking a trip down memory lane and recalling how we dealt with the "winter wonder land". Back in the day when the congregation was younger, the parking lot and driveways smaller, the outside walkways and emergency exits fewer, we handled snow and ice largely with volunteers. As our facility became larger, this became impractical, and we hired professional help to plow the lot and driveways. We continued to rely on volunteers to take care of the sidewalks and to clear access and egress paths for our emergency exits. For these ongoing volunteer duties, we have had a group of folks who coordinated among themselves so one or more of them would come in during and after storms or ice events to take care of things. I started calling them the "snow removal team". I should have called them the "snow angels". They were here doing their collective thing even when Martha and I were basking in the warmth of Florida each winter. They have been great, but times change, people's responsibilities change, and some years the demands on this team have been very heavy, if not excessive. A couple of years ago, I asked our snow removal contractor to expand their scope to include sidewalks and paths to emergency exits. This has worked out well, particularly for large snow events, but we are still not off the hook for lesser snow events and icing events. Last Christmas Eve was an important example. Up to about mid-afternoon that day, our lots, driveways, and walks were clear, but we had a significant icing event an hour or so before the start of services, making footing treacherous. It was too late to get our contractor out to do anything about it. We had to deal with it ourselves. In hindsight, I could have done a better job watching the weather forecast which correctly predicted icing throughout the area ... lesson learned! Another thing to keep in mind, the snow removal contractor comes only after significant snowfall, so there will be many cases where we will have to deal with snow on the parking lot, drives, and walks. We would typically not do anything with small accumulations of snow on the lots or drives, but we would take care of the walks. Of course, we would also call in our contractor to treat the lots and drives if there was a buildup of packed snow and ice.
All that said, I suggest all of us who are physically able and so inclined, consider ourselves to be informal members of the snow team ... "snow angels". If you arrive on Sunday or for other church activities and find snow or slippery conditions on the walks, grab one of the shovels just inside the doors and clear a path and put down some ice melt (also available near the doors). I also plan to retain the snow removal team to deal with other, possibly larger, snow removal tasks that arise, but we can all help with the smaller tasks. Thanks in advance to all who may offer a hand from time to time. Dave Mercer, Property Team Leader.
A mysterious thing happens from time to time as the hours of daylight change. Typically, I know it has happened again when I observe the parking lights are on when they should be off, or off when they should be on. This usually means that a mystery person has gone to the boiler room, opened the control box for the lights, and changed the settings on the timer. More often than not, the setting has been changed such that the lights are on and stay on. I really wish the mystery person or persons would not do this, because energy is wasted. In a few cases, the settings have prevented the lights from coming on when needed. Please contact me in person or by phone (603-953-3855) if you believe the controls for the parking lot lights need to be changed.
Lighting matters are an ongoing challenge. We recently changed another of the bulbs in the high overhead lighting fixtures in the Sanctuary using a reach rod device provided by Jonathan Bock. This is the third time to date that one of these bulbs has been changed without the need for an aerial lift. Thank you, Jonathan!
I also hope you notice improved lighting in the gathering area. We recently replaced three of failed spot lights above the entrance to the Sanctuary and also replaced several failed bulbs in the overhead light fixtures in the Gathering Area. As part of this work and previous work, all of the fixtures in the Gathering Area now have LED bulbs which will save energy without loss of illumination and should give significantly longer bulb life. Work to add additional lighting for the library has continued, and should complete soon. We will be working on some additional lighting matters in the coming weeks. Let there be light!
When the "garage" door is open, you will notice improvements to the back wall. The new drywall work to resolve a fire code issue has been completed and new shelving has been installed to improve storage and reduce clutter.
David Mercer, Property Team Leader
Fall has arrived and the big tent is down and stored for the winter. Of all the unlikely things to bring some controversy this year, the tent would have been low on my list. We have used it for years without issue, but then State of New Hampshire regulations found us in the form of a required permit from the Newington Fire Department. As it happens, a large tent such as ours (greater than 600 square feet) requires an inspection and permit. We have the permit which will require renewal in 2018. Who knew?
Beginning this spring, we have been working to resolve some fire code compliance issues in the "garage" and the boiler room. This work has primarily involved addition and repairs to drywall and sealing pipe penetrations through the walls. This work should be completed by winter.
This spring, the library team requested improved lighting for the library area. In response to that request the existing fluorescent lighting in that area has been repaired and redirected. About half of the existing lights were out of service due to a failed ballast. The ballast has been replaced and all of the fixtures have been turned upward to provide more effective indirect lighting. LED track lighting has been added to provide direct lighting for the book shelves, tables, and displays in the library.
Holy Trinity now hosts an open mic acoustic music event (The New Grounds Coffee House) on the third Friday of each month. To support this event we applied donated equipment to implement a fully portable and effective sound system for use in the gathering area. The system provides up to eight instrument and microphone inputs to a mixer board, and uses the existing overhead speakers in the gathering area.
We have seen the first "church mouse" of the season. It is not unusual to see these little visitors as the season turns colder. We typically let our pest control service know they have arrived so we can take some preventative action. Be aware of their potential presence and take care to avoid leaving food crumbs and such that will attract them.
We recently replaced one of the overhead bulbs in the sanctuary. This has been a reasonably rare event since we made the change to LED bulbs.
What a summer season it has been! We have seen hot, cold, wet, dry and whatever. Surely, we cannot complain, particularly in view of the the extreme weather challenges being endured by the folks in Texas, Louisiana and elsewhere. We have been fortunate here in Newington. The lawn, bushes, plantings and such have suffered a bit from the hot and dry periods, but things seem to be recovering. Overall, the property has fared well with the help of our volunteers. Most of us are unaware of the ongoing work to maintain the property, inside and out, and the many hours of volunteer work to make it happen.
As you pass by the office side of the building, you may notice the tree adjacent to the Sanctuary has been cut back significantly to resolve a problem with large branches overhanging the roof and hanging low over the bushes and sidewalk.
Over the past month or so, the Property Team has been working to resolve some fire protection issues of concern to the Newington Fire Department who noted some problems with the drywall and the door closer for the boiler room. Progress is being made to resolve these issues. The door closer has been repaired and returned to service. Drywall repairs are in progress in the boiler room, and new drywall is being installed on the back wall of the "garage".
Take a message to Garcia! This phrase has been on my mind recently. A little history is appropriate here. In the run-up to the Spanish-American War in 1898, the United States dispatched a young Army officer to Cuba with orders to deliver a message to the leader of the rebels trying to overthrow the Spanish government there. All I remember from my history lessons is that the message was unlikely to be well received. So it was that three expressions came into common use in American lexicon in the years following that war. The rebel leader was named Garcia, and the expression, "Take a message to Garcia." has come to mean a risky task involving telling someone something they may not want to hear. Similarly, as the story goes, the young Army officer was told to "Keep one foot in the stirrup" meaning be ready to get back in the saddle and get out of there if things did not go well. A third related expression may well have originated with the young Army officer, "Don't shoot the messenger!"
As regards our tent, I feel a bit like the Army officer and some of you are my Garcia. Recent rules from the State of NH require us to have a permit for our tent and the process results in restrictions on how many people we can have under our tent. We now have a permit which limits us to no more than fifty people. The requirements become significantly more complicated when the number of occupants exceeds fifty. I know this occupancy limitation impacts our use of the tent. I have made council aware of the pertinent aspects of the state rules so we can make informed decisions about future tent use. I have no idea where all this is going. I only ask that you do not shoot the messenger or cast our local FD in a negative way. We have a very good relationship with them and I have always found them to be reasonable. In this case they are doing what the State Fire Marshal Office requires in terms of tent permits and inspection criteria for tents.

If the iCloud data you are seeing in the uKnowKids dashboard is old, then this likely means that your child's Apple mobile device has not backed up to iCloud recently.
You can confirm that this is the problem by doing the following...
- Log into your uKnowKids dashboard, and go to your child's uKnowKids profile.
- Click on the Update Status link in the main navigation of the uKnowKids dashboard.
- Check the Apple iCloud card for details regarding your child's iCloud data.
You will notice that your child's Apple mobile device last backup date and time is provided for your convenient reference. This is the most recent possible data that uKnowKids can monitor for you.
As a reminder, click here for a quick summary of how uKnowKids for Apple features works.
With this in mind, please follow these 3 steps in order to ensure that your child's iCloud data is up to date...
- Make sure your child's Apple device is set up to automatically back up to Apple iCloud every night.
Also, here is a good Apple article on setting up your child's device to automatically backup every night.
If the settings on your child's device are properly configured as instructed above, iCloud will automatically back up the information on your child's device —iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch—over Wi-Fi every day when the device is turned on, locked, and connected to a power source.
- Manually initiate an iCloud backup, so that the latest Apple data is included in the Backup. On your child's iOS 9 device: Go to Settings > iCloud > Backup, then tap Back Up Now.
In the future, there should be no need to do this if you followed Step 1 above.
- Finally, let us know when the device has been backed up, and we can manually initiate a sync/update with iCloud to immediately show you updated Apple mobile device data.
We will also acquire the new iCloud data during our next automatic sync/update process with iCloud which typically occurs every 6 hours or so.
You can also manually initiate sync/updates yourself from the Update Status page IF we are not already in the midst of an auto sync/update.
Once this is completed, you will be good to go!!!

This recipe comes from my sweet friend Gia Loria. If you haven't had the chance to read about this talented powerhouse of a cook check out my Cooking with Friends link to read all about her. This is her family recipe. It all begins with the freshest of ingredients and a little time and patience while your sauce is cooking. Gia shared a little secret test to the sauce with me. By sticking a wooden spoon the in middle of the pot after a couple of hours of slow cooking over the stove, it the spoon falls over then the sauce is not done, if it sticks in the middle then your sauce is thick enough and ready to serve!

- Place the bread crumbs into a large shallow bowl. Add the herbs, 1½ teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper. In another medium shallow bowl, whisk the eggs together.
- Season each eggplant slice on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each eggplant slice in the egg mixture, and finally dredge it in the bread crumb mixture. Shake off any excess breading and transfer to a large plate or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining eggplant.

- Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with some of the tomato sauce and arrange ½ of the eggplant over the sauce. Cover the eggplant with some of the sauce, grated mozzarella and olives. Repeat to make 3 layers ending with the sauce. Top with the fresh mozzarella and bake until hot and just beginning to brown, about 30 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

So, if you are here reading my blog I'm guessing you are a creative dreamer, and you are in the business of making your creative dreams real.
Now, creating isn't always easy for us arty types, I'll readily admit…. but there is one thing we dreamers need to make dreams happen, and it's a thing many creative people resist like fury.
You gotz to PLAN, my little chickadees.
I can feel the collective shudder over the interwebs from here.
I know, dear Creative Being, I know.
There's just one teensy weensy problem. If you don't find your own way to plan, the overwhelm beast is going to get you when you're trying to create those dreams of yours.
Trust me, me and the overwhelm beastie go way back.
To keep the beastie at bay, I've learnt that you have to do three things:
1) Break it down. Chop what you have to do into small chunks. I mean waaaaaay small.
Things you can do in 3 – 15 minutes, tops. Break it down, and then break it down some more….
2) Write it down. Get it out of your head and onto paper. That way, you can see if you actually need to do it, whether you have what you need, and if you can de-le-gate that puppy.
3) Check it off. Crossing things off the to do list, it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Seriously. Especially with a nice big Sharpie pen…. aaaah yeah, baby!

We all hope that the third film in a trilogy is an epic and wonderful end to whatever trilogy it is. War for the Planet of the Apes is exactly that. It's incredibly epic and wonderful in every way. It packs one heck of an emotional punch from beginning to end. You will laugh, cry, feel angry, satisfied and sad. You will feel feelings that you didn't know you could feel. You will walk out of the theater in complete awe.
This is a spoiler free review. It's pretty straight forward! I won't put anything too revealing so that you can all go and watch it and experience it yourselves.
War for the Planet of the Apes pretty much picks up how Dawn of the Planet of the Apes leaves us. Caesar and all the apes are trying to live their lives amongst a war with humans, while the army of humans, led by one heck of horrible Colonel, are hot on their trail and trying to kill them. Rage and anger, fear and sadness take over as Caesar and all the apes try to survive this war and battle with their own emotional struggles.
The driving force of this film is emotion. We are taken on a constant ride of emotions throughout the entirety of the film. Andy Serkis, once again, delivers a powerful motion capture performance as Caesar. It would be great if he'd finally get an Oscar nomination for this. What he's achieved with Caesar is remarkable. He's just so remarkable in general. And the entire cast also delivers powerful motion capture performances as all of the apes just like in the previous films. A new ape we meet, Bad Ape, played by Steve Zahn is so awesome. You will instantly love Bad Ape. Newcomer Amiah Miller, who plays Nova, delivers an emotional performance with her facial expressions and subtle yet powerful movements. She is going to be a force to be reckoned with in this industry. Woody Harrelson as the Colonel was spot on casting. You'll instantly hate him and you will also feel sorry for him. I must also mention that Karin Konoval's, Maurice, is sheer brilliance as usual. The best bestfriend ever.
The direction in this film is outstanding. The cinematography is beautiful. There are scenes that are really intense and heartbreaking. Scenes that will be too rough for really young kids, so parents you have been warned! Get yourselves a box of kleenex and hug your loved ones tightly. There are several scenes that will leave you a little breathless and nervous. There are scenes that'll also make you completely sob. APES…TOGETHER…STRONG!

I am not sure on the generic placement, that is why I use the family and call it Discodorididae sp. 07.
I don't know if this specimen is the same species, if differs by the reddish background colour and by larger dark pink/reddish patches, I think it is a colour variant.
Pretty similar are:
Discodorididae sp. 13 which has a series of middorsal knobs.
Discodorididae sp. 27 which differs by a larger middorsal ridge, and by orange pigment at the mantle margin.

text: The fog rolled in off the Tennessee River this morning drifting up toward the skyline as the sun peeked through the clouds. It was a beautiful East Tennessee morning even if the temp was a crisp 61 degrees. A little cooler than we've had in a while. But not cool enough to really need a jacket. Dew clung to the grass and even a few little spider webs glistened in the morning sun. A tale-tell sign that fall is in the air? Me thinks it could be as we dip deeper into September.

Just about anyone who has been involved with the Nova Scotia sailing scene in the last thirty or so years will have at least heard of John Roy and very many will have had dealings with his company Ocean Yachts Sales Ltd (OYS). Like many of us, John's start in his career involved a little serendipity. Having recently graduated from Dalhousie University with an Economics degree, John wasn't sure what sort of work he wanted, but he did know he wanted to go offshore racing. With this in mind he dropped by the OYS office looking for a crewing job on a yacht headed for the Southern Ocean Racing Circuit (SORC) which was then a very big deal. Almost in passing, he asked if they needed any help in the office. Sandy Stalker, an OYS partner at the time, got back to him a little later and said "you might be on", meaning with the office, not on a boat. So as John says, he went looking for a boat and ended up with a job. A job that became his lifelong career and passion.
Whatever the many challenges of earning a living in the yacht business, John has always been sustained by a passion for sailing. He spoke to me with some emotion of his earliest memories of sailing with his father aboard the family's wooden Tancook schooner. It was a proud day when, at just 7 or 8, is dad handed him the tiller, pointed to the box compass and said "she's yours, steer that course". John began sailing out of the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron (RNSYS) just at the time the club was moving from what is now the Halterm container pier in Halifax's south end, to their present location on the North West Arm. For the first summer the adult members had not yet moved in and the junior sailors had the place to themselves, and according to John they had a blast. Junior racing was quickly followed by Lasers. As anyone who has ever sailed a Laser can attest you learn quickly, or get wet, a lot. John says he and his buddies were mad for Laser racing and would drive to Quebec for a weekend meet, or straight though to Florida for a regatta. John's skills as a racing helmsman were no doubt born here, as anyone who sails knows, you really can't learn how to sail unless you learn on a dinghy.
Melges 32 Photo credit: : C. Laterneau
Success in sailboat racing has come in many forms. As a world class Etchells sailor, John and his crew, Rob Gale and Paul Gallant,came 9th at the 1998 Worlds and in J-24s he has two national championships. Offshore John has participated inmany Marblehead to Halifax races and is a two time class winner. His love of sailing and sailing fast, has not diminished over the years. It says a lot about John that his idea of fun today is racing his Melges 32 "Team Ocean" with a mixed crew of young and older racers. This year they won their class at "Chester Race Week". Passing on his knowledge to the next generation is important and John has spent many years coaching and "teaching the teachers" as an Instructor Evaluator for the Canadian Yachting Association.
The recreational yacht business is different from many other service industries. In the first place you are dealing, not with something people actually need, but with their dreams. Currently Ocean Yacht Sales are dealers for Beneteau, Dufour, Fareast, Tartan and Hylas. John has brought on board a couple of keen (young) brokers Andre Simoes Re and Hugh Layton who add a youthful energy and perspective to the business.
John says there has been some growth in recent years in the small boat market, spurred in part by the availability of very inexpensive used boats. Hopefully this will bring some new blood into the sailing world.

Stronger La Niña is expected as Brazil prepares to start soybean planting
Meteorologists in Brazil see a high possibility that a stronger La Niña phenomenon would be seen in the coming months in Brazil. The country prepares for planting after fallowing in the Center-Western states, such as Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Goiás, but rains would affect planting works in the southern states such as Parana and Rio Grande do Sul, delaying the works.
Some experts say that if planting delays from the early planting in Parana, a significant number of Asian Rust cases would be seen.
