My 2015 Goals: First Things First
So yes it's February and I'm just now posting about my 2015 goals. I love what Lara Casey has to say about goal setting: "There is nothing magical about January 1st."
I would rather put time and effort towards real heart change than to have written out a list of resolutions that are all forgotten by February.
The truth is that I've had some things stirring on my heart for a while now about what I want 2015 to look like. I've been reflecting on last year and praying about what's to come. And what the Lord has put on my heart for this year is "FIRST things FIRST".
If you were to ask me what my FIRST things are, I would without hesitation say "#1 is God, #2 is my husband and #3 my children". But if you were to look at my life last year I don't know if those "firsts" were reflected by my actions. And I want to change that in 2015.
Without further ado, here are my 2015 goals:
#1 Put God First - Read Scripture Daily.
Why is this so hard? I have prayed specifically for God to give me a HUNGER for his word this year. I can already tell such a difference in my mood and outlook after a few weeks of consistent scripture reading. I am super inspired by moms who have the diligence to wake up an hour before their children to spend time with the Lord. But it's just not in the cards right now. Our family morning routine is nothing fancy or spiritual. Jon and I usually take turns getting up early with the kids. We wander downstairs, fix coffee for ourselves and sippy cups for the kids and snuggle on the couch while the kids watch a cartoon. I usually space out on my phone and check emails, facebook and instagram. Well as of January 1st, I set a new rule for myself. I am NOT ALLOWED to check email or social media before I have at least read a few scripture verses. I don't know about you, but I wake up naturally grumpy and selfish. I need God's word FIRST thing in the morning to renew my mind. And if it takes having the television on for my kids in order for me to read the bible, then so be it. Lately I have been reading my Jesus Calling devotional along with accompanying scripture verses. I have also started the SEEK devotional, which is available free when you sign up for the Pursuit Community's newsletter.
#2 Connect With My Family Everyday.
This is so basic but so profound. So often I get caught up (and overwhelmed) by my family's physical and logistical needs. Make breakfast. Empty dishwasher. Drive carpool. Prep dinner. Plan meals. Grocery Shop. Cook. Fold the 8 loads of laundry that have been sitting to collect wrinkles for the past week. Just the typical, mundane stuff that makes the household run. But then I stop there. I think that if I check all those magic boxes then I have taken care of my family, when in reality I have forgotten the most important thing - their hearts. In 2015, I want to make a goal of connecting with my husband and children on a daily basis. After all, they are my favorite people on the planet. Why am I not having more fun with them? I want to spend more time playing hide-and-go-seek with David, painting with Anna, building forts in the living room and having heart-to-hearts with Jon.
#3 Greatly Reduce My Use of Social Media.
This is a bit embarrassing to admit but I think a big hindrance to my relationship with God, my husband and my children in the past year was due to my abuse of social media. Now am I the person who posts 5 status posts a day about what I am eating and wearing? No, but my consumption has gotten out of hand. In general the stuff I look at online is encouraging and inspiring. I love to follow other photographers and Christian entrepreneurs - I'm fascinated by how others artfully combine faith, vocation and business in their lives. But I just get caught in the web of "well, let me just read this article" which leads me to "I'll just go look at this new photographer's work" to "let's check my email real quick" and before I know it I've been hanging out with my phone instead of my people. Can you relate? The latest research cites that users pick up their phones 150 times per day. I'm scared to count myself.
I want to greatly reduce my use of social media in 2015. I am starting small by trying to be more aware during the day of time spent on my phone. I'm also declaring Sundays a fast day from all social media. I would like to work up to social media free weekends (family time) and evenings (hubby time).
#4 Launch the Lauren Ann Photography Website.
DONE! This was a huge goal of mine this year. While I know the website, blog and branding for my photography business will continue to evolve, I'm really pumped that I was able to launch the website this past January.
#5 Grow As A Photographer.
This year I want to continue to grow technically and artistically as a photographer. I think the best way for me to improve is to PRACTICE. This means simply shooting more. I have heard so many photographers share about how pivotal a 365 project (taking a photo every day for a year) was for their growth. I will be honest - a 365 project completely overwhelms me. But I decided to take on the month of January to start. I probably ended up shooting 23-25 days of the month. Not perfect. But it's a start. Part of my challenge is that it has been cold and rainy and we have been stuck inside. For a natural light photographer, this is tough. But it's also stretching me. I've started noticing the beautiful way light passes through the blinds and leaves stripes of pattern on my bathroom wall. I've been paying more attention to my childrens' interactions and facial expressions. I don't ever want to over-rely on a gorgeous location or ideal light to capture a beautiful photograph. I think the first step of becoming a stronger photographer is training my EYES to see beauty all around me.
#6 Run a Half-Marathon with My Best Friend.
Back in the day, I was a runner. Since having kids - not so much. I've made it a goal to run a half marathon this year. And luckily my best friend is on board! She's not local but we have been encouraging one another via texts, emails, etc. and we signed up to run a half together in April! Training has started and I feel like I am falling in love with running all over again. I think as a mom I really crave solo time. Running gives me time to think and clear my head.
Love to hear from you on all this - what scripture/devotionals/books are you reading this year to grow spiritually? How do you limit your own use of social media? If you are a photographer, what practices have been pivotal to your growth as an artist? And of course I'd love to hear about some of your personal goals for the year!

Screensavers of rain in autumn
Animated rain in autumn screensaver
Screensaver of a house in a forest, in front of a lake, on a typical scene of autumn , when the rain falls on the trees that look like leaves fall into the water. Rain and some red leaves falling into the water. It is autumn, the season in which the leaves of deciduous trees change and green turns yellow and brown, until dry and fall aided by the wind blowing harder. A proper melancholy music accompanies this sad sight with the sun on a rainy day.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday (February 13) refused to ratify its order which dismissed IndiGo's petition against DIAL's (which operates Delhi airport) move to relocate a part of its operations from Terminal 1 to the newly opened Terminal 2 of the Delhi airport.
A division bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Rekha Palli said in the judgement: "We are of the opinion that there is no illegality, arbitrariness or infirmity in the impugned judgment (December 20 order) that warrants interference. Moreover, the learned Single Judge has gone to the extent of watering down the option given by the DIAL to the IndiGo and the SpiceJet by directing that in the event they make a request to shift one third of their operations by excluding the three identified sectors, i.e., Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru, they may do so within one week from the date of the judgment."
The bench further stated: "We grant a last opportunity of one week to the appellants, IndiGo and the SpiceJet to approach the DIAL to suggest other sectors that they would be ready and willing to shift from T-1 to T-2, as long as they collectively meet the yardstick of one third passenger traffic volumes of their operations at T-1. In the event such a request is received by the DIAL within the stipulated timeline, the same shall be considered and a decision taken under written intimation to both the airlines within one week from the date of receipt. If no such request is received within the stipulated timeline, then DIAL shall fix a deadline for shifting one third of the flight operations of the concerned airlines from T-1 to T-2, underwritten intimation to them."
DIAL had asked the three airlines to shift their flights to and from Delhi to Kolkata, Mumbai and Bengaluru to T-2 from January 4, 2018 while directing other airlines to operate their flights from T-1. Only GoAir had relocated its operations to T-2.

Neurontin Uses
Related MultimediaClick on an icon to view.
Using Neurontin for Postherpetic NeuralgiaAbout one million people develop shingles each year, and a number of them experience a complication called postherpetic neuralgia. This is pain that is present in the affected area for months, or even years, after the shingles rash has healed. The most bothersome of postherpetic neuralgia symptoms is pain. The pain can result in an inability to perform daily tasks of living and may be described as:
- Agonizing
- Excruciating
- Burning
- Sharp, electric-like jabs
- Throbbing
- Aching.
Postherpetic neuralgia treatment usually involves medication. Neurontin is one of the medications approved to treat the pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia.
How Does Neurontin Work?It is not known exactly how Neurontin works for nerve pain, nor is it known exactly how the drug works to prevent partial seizures in people with epilepsy. It is known that Neurontin affects certain calcium channels in the brain, and this may be how it works for seizures and nerve pain.
Neurontin Uses in ChildrenNeurontin is approved to treat partial seizures in children as young as three years old. Talk to your healthcare provider about the benefits and risks of using the drug in children.
Off-Label Neurontin UsesOn occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend Neurontin for something other than the conditions discussed in this article. At this time, off-label Neurontin uses include the treatment of:
- Alcohol withdrawal
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease
- Bipolar disorder
- Hot flashes associated with menopause or breast cancer treatment
- Migraine headaches
- Orthostatic tremor (shakiness of the legs when standing)
- Other types of chronic pain or nerve pain, including diabetic neuropathy
- Social anxiety disorder
- Spasticity (muscle spasms that cause stiffness), including spasticity due to multiple sclerosis (MS).

Robert Stigwood has died Jan 5, 2016 9:37:34 GMT -5
Post by B on Jan 5, 2016 9:37:34 GMT -5
Bee Gees manager and Grease producer Robert Stigwood dies
By Mark Savage
Music reporter
"Robert Stigwood, who managed Cream and the Bee Gees before producing the rock musicals Saturday Night Fever
and Grease has died at the age of 81.
The Australian impresario's death was confirmed on Facebook by Spencer Gibb, son of Bee Gees star Robin Gibb.
A cause of death was not immediately available.
Andrew Lloyd Webber was among those paying tribute, describing Stigwood as a "great showman" who "taught me much".
Spencer Gibb called him "a creative genius with a very quick and dry wit" adding that "Robert was the driving force behind The Bee Gees career".
Stigwood started out as an advertising agency copywriter in his native Australia before moving to the UK at the age of 21
There, he made his name representing English singer John Leyton, securing him a role on the TV show Harpers West One.
The deal allowed Leyton to perform a song - Johnny Remember Me - which spent four weeks at number one in 1961.
By 1966, after a period of bankruptcy, he became a booking agent for The Who, luring them onto his own Reaction Records label,
where they recorded the hit single Substitute.
He went on to manage Cream and Eric Clapton, before signing the Bee Gees in 1967 and steering them to international success
with an intensive promotional campaign for the single New York Mining Disaster 1941.
By the early 1970s, though, the Bee Gees had fallen out of favour, and Clapton was inactive due to drug addiction.
Stigwood turned his attention to musicals, producing the movie version of Jesus Christ Superstar and The Who's rock opera Tommy.
Having bought the management rights to Evita and Jesus Christ Superstar, Stigwood was instrumental in cracking down on unlicensed
performances of the musicals in the US - including school productions - to ensure profits went into pockets of its creators.
He also formed RSO Records (short for Robert Stigwood Organization), where he resuscitated the careers of his two biggest acts -
sending Clapton to the top of the charts with I Shot The Sheriff, and rebranding the Bee Gees as falsetto-voiced disco lynchpins on Jive Talking.
The Australian's midas touch continued in the late 1970s, when he produced Saturday Night Fever, making a global star
of television actor John Travolta and selling 40 million copies of the Bee Gees-powered soundtrack.
Stigwood followed it with the evergreen teen musical Grease, and was particularly proud of casting fellow Australian Olivia Newton John in the role of Sandy.
But he faltered with the 1978 Beatles musical Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - a fantastical but unfocused movie starring
The Bee Gees, Peter Frampton and comedian Frankie Howerd.
"If you like the Beatles and you like movies, do yourself a favour and stay away," wrote influential US film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum.
Audiences took note, and the film flopped at the box office, although the soundtrack sold well.
Stigwood went on to produce the similarly-disappointing sequels Grease 2 and Staying Alive - but found success later
in life with the Madonna-starring musical Evita, which won the 1997 Golden Globe for best film.
The movie's lyricist, Sir Tim Rice, paid tribute to Stigwood on Twitter, calling him "extraordinary, innovative [and] generous".
"[He was] a vital part of my life," he added."

As Alabama steamrolled Tennessee in the first half, media members scurried through the record books searching for record-breaking performances against the Vols.
Alabama scored touchdowns on six of its eight first-half possessions, held the Vols to minus-13 rushing yards in the first half and embarrassed UT 58-21 Saturday on CBS – the most points ever scored by an opponent at Neyland Stadium.
The most points ever scored against UT in the modern era was 62 at Florida in 1995.
Then, there was the 1896 campaign, when the Vols gave up 70, 64 and 60 points – but none of those games were in Knoxville.
The contest frustrated Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt, who made it clear he needs a different roster to compete with the elite in the SEC.
"I promise, we'll recruit 25 other guys that will play the right way so we don't have to play in another game like this,'' Pruitt said at halftime, trailing 42-14.
During his post-game press conference, Pruitt said UT is playing just four seniors who do it the right way so "we could trade 25 (signees) for four and give us a chance.''
Indeed, there is a considerable difference in the talent level of Alabama and Tennessee.
"You look at their sideline and you look at our sideline and they don't hardly look the same,'' Pruitt said.
No they don't. Tennessee's less talented team hardly had a chance against arguably Alabama's most explosive offense in history. The Tide led 28-0 11 ½ minutes into the game. For all practical purposes, the outcome was decided.
To Tennessee's credit, it fought back to cut the margin to 28-7 and stopped Alabama on consecutive drives, forcing punts. But an ill-fated onside kick game the Tide possession at the UT 43 and the Bama turned that into a touchdown.
About all that was left for Tennessee was to compete and try to make things respectable.
But not much pleased Pruitt against his former boss as coach Nick Saban ran his record to 15-0 against former assistants.
Pruitt didn't like the way his line of scrimmage on offense and defense got whipped. He didn't like UT's inability to run the football. He didn't like Ty Chandler catching a kickoff THEN calling for a fair catch, putting the ball on the UT 3-yard line and leading to safety. He didn't like freshman cornerback Alontae Taylor throwing a punch in front of an official and getting ejected. He didn't like the way his players blitzed.
"We called a blitz and our guy is tip toeing in there and they throw a touchdown pass,'' Pruitt said. "When their guy blitzed, he didn't tip toe in there.''
Pruitt said Alabama probably could have scored 58 points without throwing a pass. When Bama did pass, it was usually a thing of beauty as Tua Togovailoa completed 16 of 26 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns.
"For some guys on our team,'' Pruitt said, "this game was way too big for them.''
UT wasn't playing with a full deck as several players were out with injuries – including linebacker Jonathan Kongbo (torn ACL) – and a couple of defensive backs. But Bama wasn't at full strength either, having lost some players earlier and suspending defensive lineman Raekwan Davis for the first half after throwing punches in the Missouri game and disciplining running back Damien Harris for undisclosed reasons. Harris didn't start.
But that hardly matter. Tennessee wasn't going to beat Alabama if it played a near perfect game. It wouldn't have won had UT played like it did in upsetting Auburn on the road.
But Pruitt had hopes his troops would simply play better and smarter.
Quarterback Jarrett Guarantano, brilliant against Auburn, struggled against Alabama, completing just 5 of 10 passes for 63 yards before exiting midway in the second quarter with what appeared to be a collarbone injury.
"Jarrett got hit probably every time he threw the football,'' Pruitt said.
Grad transfer Keller Chryst did a nice job in relief, completing 9 of 15 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns. He wasn't under as much duress as Guarantano, perhaps suggesting Chryst does a better job of recognizing blitzes or calling pass protections.
Chryst wasn't the only bright spot for the Vols. Jauan Jennings caught six passes for 102 yards. Defensive Kyle Phillips broke several tackles in returning an interception 27 yards for a touchdown. And Tim Jordan ran hard to get 50 yards on 14 carries.
But it wasn't nearly enough.
One play in particular caught Pruitt's eyes.
Alabama backup quarterback Jalen Hurts scrambled 21 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to give the Tide a 58-21 lead.
"It looked like we were running in slow motion,'' Pruitt said.
Therein lies UT's problem. The Vols aren't fast enough or strong enough to compete with the better teams in the SEC.
But that doesn't mean UT can't win three of its five remaining games to earn a bowl bid.
You wonder if the Alabama beat down will strip this team of some confidence.
But if UT can play like it did at Auburn, it has a chance against each of its remaining foes.

About 57% of marketers who responded to a recent Salesforce survey said mobile applications were absolutely critical or very important, with 54% saying the same about analytics and customer relationship management tools.
However, social listening and social publishing tools were among the least important, with only 40% saying they were absolutely critical or very important.
The survey suggested that, as customers increasingly switch between devices and expect brands to create real-time, one-to-one connections, increased social and mobile spend will help marketers take customers on an extended journey inside apps and across devices, creating personal brand experiences for every interaction with customers.
Respondents highlighted the importance of mobile because their business' primary revenue source is directly linked to mobile marketing, mainly because it is a critical enabler of their products and services (70% of respondents), and also because mobile marketing indirectly impacts their business performance.
Salesforce released executive summaries of the survey broken down by b-to-c and b-to-b categories. While the number one priority for b-to-b marketers was new-business leads, b-to-c respondents were most concerned with remaining up to date with current marketing technology.
In the overall list of business challenges, enterprise-level system optimization and understanding what data to analyze were among the least pressing challenges.
While much of the report focused on marketing tech, it did also ask respondents about their overall marketing strategies for 2015. Priorities included social media advertising and location-based mobile tracking, with low importance placed on blogging and native ads.
In terms of the relative importance of different social media channels, Facebook and Twitter outpaced Instagram and Pinterest.
The survey polled more than 5,000 full-time marketers online, with 59% of the respondents living in the US.

Michael Nowacki, known rabble-rouser, leaves town
NEW CANAAN — Michael Nowacki has broken up with the town.
With experiences ranging from an arrest for creating a disturbance at Town Hall, cross-examining himself in trial, over 150 Freedom of Information requests and an unsuccessful run for the town's top office in 2015, Nowacki has been through most things.
A retired television ad sales executive, Nowacki has sold his 319 Lost District Drive house and confirmed he has left town. The New Canaan Board of Realtors shows that his home was sold on Dec. 18 for $1.18 million.
Reached by phone Wednesday, Nowacki confirmed the sale and said: "I'm driving to the West coast and that's all you need to know." He hung up afterwards.
The move isn't unexpected as Nowacki had previously said in a statement on Sept. 5, 2017 that it was his plan "to relocate to the warmer climate of California upon the eventual sale of my home here for the last nearly quarter century."
Earlier this year, Nowacki had announced a bid to run for the town's top office again. However, after some consideration, he opted out of submitting the required signatures to the Connecticut Secretary of State to appear on the ballot. A total of 3,117 signatures was the required figure to enter the First Selectman race this year.
For the past couple of years, Nowacki was known for his prodigious use of the Freedom of Information Act and fervent criticism of various local government boards and officials.
In 2013, Town Administrator Tom Stadler told the New Canaan News that he had received 158 FOI requests from Nowacki. The latter was quoted as saying his use of the FOI requests as a "responsibility of citizenship, which is to be vigilant of your government."
Nowacki ran as a petition candidate back in 2015 against then First Selectman Robert Mallozzi. The election had palpable tension between the two candidates, particularly when Mallozzi declined to publicly debate Nowacki in an event hosted by the League of Women Voters.
Ultimately, Nowacki received 276 votes compared to Mallozzi's 2,841.
A 1974 graduate from the University of Southern California, Nowacki holds a bachelor's degree in telecommunications and a master's degree in journalism from the same university obtained in 1975.
Nowacki's outspoken attitude would oftentimes land him in trouble. Nowacki was arrested in 2010 for "creating a disturbance" at New Canaan Town Hall according to then Police Sgt. Carol Ogrinc.
In May 2012, Nowacki was sentenced to 15 months in prison on charges of harassing his ex-wife and violating a protective order. Nowacki cross-examined himself, playing the role of both defendant and attorney, in a trial that bordered on the surreal.
The state Appellate Court, however, reversed the conviction and acquitted him on the harassment charge in Mar. 2015.
According to the town's property appraisal database, Nowacki purchased his New Canaan home in 1993 for for $844,000. Its current appraised value stands at $1,549,100.

An elite operative. A war-hardened soldier. A daring explorer. One strikes from the shadows to protect a deadly secret. One strives to reclaim what was taken from her. One searches the void for the answers denied her.
Their stories are their own, but they share a gritty determination to fight for what they believe in and an unwavering conviction that they can and will do whatever is necessary to save themselves, those they hold dear, and, if worse comes to worst (as it always does), civilization itself.

Science Spirit Award
Throughout the years we find that the students come to the Challenger Learning Center extremely eager to show us their themed attire they thoughtfully picked out for their big day. We love that so many of the kids do this and this year we really want to highlight their effort and enthusiasm. Whether it be a Star Wars sweatshirt, galaxy headband, Sid the Science Kid shoes or a homemade Earth t-shirt, we want to see it! Currently these awards are specified only to our simulated space mission groups (5th-8th graders that come for Expedition Mars, Return to the Moon or Rendezvous with a Comet program). Although hats are still not allowed to be worn in our building, a themed hat will earn an entry.
During the pre or post brief of the mission your Flight Directors will take a moment to recognize any students wearing a piece of science or space themed gear and get them entered into our monthly Science Spirit drawing.
Each month we will randomly choose 2 students to be our award winners for that specific month. If your student is picked, we will contact you via email to obtain a quote and fun photo of the winner. If the photo is not possible or their guardian does not wish to have their photo posted on our website or social media, we ask that you send a picture of that students favorite thing about space or a themed picture they draw/color. After we obtain the quote and photo, we will feature our winners on the front page of our website until the next winners are announced.
We will also send you an official certificate attached in the email as a pdf for you to fill out and present the student with. Our hope is that you have fun with this in your classroom and make that child feel extra special for being one of our lucky winners. Whether it be picking a prize from your classroom treasure box, earning some class cash, receiving a 1x gum pass or picking two friends to have lunch with you. Another idea would be to play a short educational game in class and our award winner gets to be the leader. Either way, it's a fun way to encourage and reinforce their participation. Thanks for being great sports with this!
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions regarding this new program.
Lastly, please remind your students about this in the weeks leading up to Challenger. We want all students to have the opportunity to particiate. We appreciate your involvement and thank you for all that you do.

Daycare in the summer. This is something that I appreciate as a parent. It is also something that I would have hated as a kid. If there is one thing that I will forever be grateful for is that fact that Moms still stayed home in the late 70's and early 80's. Although with the crazy high taxes and 20% interest on mortgages, I'm not sure how my folks swung it. Thank Christ for Reagan I guess. Anyway, I can't imagine a summer where I had to actually go somewhere. Because, you can call it whatever you want, but daycare sounds a helluva lot like going to school in the summer. And that's like telling me the closing scene in Purple Rain when Prince sings "I Would Die 4 You" isn't awesome. Like trying to convince me DC Cab wasn't Mr. T's greatest acting performance of all time. Like telling me Higgins wasn't really Robin Masters. I mean, I'm just not buying it.
Summer is a great time to be a kid and I kinda miss it. And I don't want the girls to miss it. I want them to have the same goofy smile I get on my face when I think of those sweet summer days when the only thing you really had to worry about was not missing the Good Humor man when he drove down your street.
Plus Bailey was asking me the other day if I stayed home all day in the summer instead of going to daycare. The answer of course is that, yeah, I got to stay home because my Mom stayed home with my sisters and I. But all our friends' Moms stayed home. It was like our Saturday morning cartoon microculture was extended to all day, every day, for three months. Oh and listen, if the girls would let me get away with it I'd have a running loop of Schoolhouse Rock, Scooby and the Superfriends on every Saturday morning now. And I'm 42. Of course I kinda do that now away with the NFL Network and the Military Channel.
So, again, I miss being a kid in the summer. Also at Christmas I guess. And on days when I have to deal with bullsh…I mean whining at work. And when I look at what college is going to cost for three kids. And sometimes when I watch Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark…
I mean right at the beginning you have my birthday which serves as the pregame tailgate to summer but with presents and cake. Then there's the last day of school which is the official kickoff to summer vacation. Then, if you were me, you had swimming lessons, basketball camp and the building of scale models of most the Pacific Fleet in World War II. Although, I was never a big fan of swimming lessons. They were usually in the morning and I mean how often do you actually do the butterfly? Its like the one-hit wonder of swim strokes. It's Eddy Grant's Electric Avenue in the summer of '83! Woo! Other one-hit wonders from the summer of '83: Frank Stallone's Far From Over, Puttin' on the Ritz by Taco and Ewok Celebration from the…um…the Ewoks I guess.
Ever notice how there are a few songs that just absolutely point to summer? You want to go back to the summer of '83? Tough to beat Electric Avenue. Summer of '82? Tainted Love! Summer of '81? Point Blank's Nicole. Summer of '80? You May be Right and Its Still Rock and Roll to Me from Billy Joel.
I was pointing this out to Riley Monday night on our way home from her summer dance classes that this incessantly catchy bubble gum song from One Direction You Don't Know You're Beautiful will be the song that brings back the summer of '12 for her. Of course the whole concept of nostalgia and bringing something back isn't apparent to you if you're 12. You have a small frame of reference. Kinda like all the first time voters who bought what the president was selling back in '08.
You know what really brings summer back? I mean besides sparklers, the smell of Off! and the sound of a big ol' moth hitting the bug zapper? Afros and baseball caps. You know it! Garry Maddox flying around 2nd, losing his helmet thereby setting free the awesomeness of the 70's 'fro and then taking a head-first slide into 3rd. Oh, and the Cubs light blue pinstriped uni's. I love light blue. Just got myself a vintage Oilers t-shirt too. Sweet.
Anyway, summer is for a lot of things. One of them is listening to cool songs from your formative years. Another is doing stupid crap in your formative years. Fortunately, these guys were able to do both.

Picking up 815 assists kept Class 8A-7A-6A Player of the Year Chelsea Boretti busy this season.
What impressed her coach, Brian Bausch, was how she did it.
"There are very few teams who were balanced like we were," Bausch said of his setter. "We had a right-side hitter with 150 kills. We had an outside hitter with 250 kills and a middle hitter that had 250. We're not one dimensional and she's a reason why."
The Rollins College signee, in all, finished the year with 130 service points, 101 digs, 48 kills, 47 kills and 30 aces.
All this helped Wellington win 26 straight games. That was the good part. The not-so-good part was losing the last two including a first-round playoff exit to Boca Raton.
"Even though we lost, that Boca game is one of the best games we had this year that will stick in my mind," she said. "We were down in the fourth game and people thought we weren't going to come back and we did. We only lost that fifth game 15-13."
Bausch said Boretti, a three-year starter, was consistent with her offense and defense.
"When you talk about her as a player she did those things that most people don't see," he said. "There were passes that weren't the best passes. They didn't always turn into decent sets. But she still found a way to keep our team balanced and focused."
Boretti hoped Wellington could have used those attributes to have a longer playoff run.
"I think [the season] went pretty well but it could have gone better," she said. "We could have gone farther but we had a good season. We went 26-0 at one point and that had never been done by Wellington before."

This 3-click example shows how Adding a Business is used to add classes to an AppyCity education application. A student or parent tapping on "Math Classes" will be taken to a page that shows the different math classes being taught at the school. A tap on a specific math class takes the user to the class page with features placed on the page by the teacher or teacher's assistant. Notice that homework assignments, classroom lectures that can be viewed outside of class, classroom events and academic support, as well and an opportunity to support a classroom project through donations, and more, all can be tucked onto a class page and accessed with a tap.
This offers true academic advantages not only for students attending class daily, but also for homebound students. It also provides opportunities for teachers to showcase class projects and student achievements.

The bond between father and daughter is something very special. A new boyfriend often fears meeting his girl's father. Sometimes they do so with good reason – this is one such story.
I laughed out loud when I found this story yesterday and I just had to share it with you. After all, shared joy is a double joy!
Laughter is the best medicine, as they say – and I tend to agree with this cliche. I've actually heard scientists claim that laughing well and often leads to a longer life, and I have no trouble believing that it's true.
In any case – here's the story!
One evening, a beautiful 17-year-old daughter came home, feeling slightly worried. Her dad noticed that something was wrong and repeatedly asked her if there was anything she wanted to talk about.
"Lovely airbags"
Finally, the daughter revealed what had been bothering her. Her new boyfriend had said something that she hadn't quite understood.
"He said that I have a beautiful chassis, lovely airbags, and a fantastic bumper," the 17-year-old said.
Her dad leaned back in his chair and took a few deep breaths to keep his anger at bay.
He said to his daughter, "You tell your boyfriend that if he opens your bonnet and tries to check your oil with his dipstick, then I will tighten his nuts so hard that his headlights will pop out and he'll start leaking out of his exhaust pipe!"
SHARE if you laughed at the dad's reply!

"Foster families provide respite and care for some of the most vulnerable children in society. This includes around three quarters of the 69,000 children who are looked after by social services in England. Get a foster placement right and the effects on a child can be nothing short of miraculous. But when it goes wrong, the results can easily reinforce prior placement breakdowns, disrupt friendships in a new school and exacerbate emotional, behavioural and relationship problems.
Families, professionals and commissioners are understandably keen to promote stable foster placements wherever possible. Yet the proportion of fostered children who moved placements three or more times in the past year – a key performance indicator for children's social services – has been stuck at around 11% since 2010."VIEW FULL ARTICLE

There's a lot of games being launched on Android TV, and we may not have time to cover them individually. These weekly posts give brief summaries of many new games that are being published. If you know of a new game, or find one we missed, let us know in the comments below.
General Games
Guardians of the Galaxy TTG
Telltale Games, a popular gaming studio that turns media franchises into games. In this game, split across five "episodes", you can play as the characters from the movie Guardians of the Galaxy (whose sequel is being released soon). It should be noted that this game only runs on a handful of GPUs. For example, it seems to be supported on my NVIDIA Shield, but not my Nexus Player.
Miami Crime Furious Gangster
In this teen-rated game, you play as a vice town gangster in a city in Florida. To succeed, you must rise up the ranks from a petty robber to a Don. Similar to GTA games, you play in an expansive city and can take on various missions. Be assured that the game features "[r]ealistic gangsters brawl".
Maze Planet 3D 2017
Do you enjoy solving mazes? Well now you can do so in three dimensions, not two like any pedestrian. In this game, you need to get a ball to the end of the maze by rolling it through a planet-wide maze.
This game, technically published last month, is a common platformer game. It has a similar vibe to Mario, although you play as a knight. You defeat zombies, mummies, and other such creatures to reach the end of each level.
NVIDIA-Exclusive Games

Liberal democracies need a new defence organisation to avert cyber warfare, according to a former European leader.
Addressing a conference in Tallinn, ex-Estonian president Toomas-Hendrik Ilves said the region the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was established to protect no longer included all of the world powers sympathetic to liberal democracy.
Despite the attendance of numerous American military personnel, his comments followed significant unease towards the alliance by the Trump administration.
He stressed how nations including Japan and Australia were supportive of core liberal values, and were participants in the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCD COE) - NATO's primary cyber security forum based in Tallinn - although neither nations are NATO members.
Democratic values - including supporting human rights, the rule of law, and believing in properly contested elections - should be the requirement for membership of the new military alliance, rather than geographic location.
Mr Ilves, who referred to the Russian president as "Darth Putin," noted how the use of the internet as an open platform was something unique to liberal democracies.
In Russia and China, the governments of whom signed a cyber security pact in 2015, the internet is heavily monitored and censored by the government, as it is in countries such as Iran.
All three nations have been aggressive and malicious actors in cyber space.
While the cyber security agreement mainly establishes non-aggression between Russia and China, both are regularly accused of supporting attacks against liberal democracies - attacks which Mr Ilves said require a trasnational organisation in response.
He warned that the values of liberal democracies make them more vulnerable to cyber attacks than autocracies.
Manipulating an election is only an issue if there is an expectation that the elections should be conducted legitimately, Mr Ilves said.
Russia and China have loomed as bogeymen to the West, engaging in military cooperation and performing joint naval exercises in the Baltic Sea, where NATO holds its annual physical training operations too.
Despite the regularity of NATO's physical drills, the organisation has responded poorly to cyber attacks, whether on critical national infrastructure or democratic systems, Mr Ives said.
He repeated his call for a new international coalition and stated that the "O" in NATO was the most important letter.
Speaking at a conference organised by the CCD COE, which is hosting hundreds of individuals involved in cyber defence, Mr Ilves reminded the participants of its origins.
The centre of excellence was the product of a good and positive reaction to a series of suspected Russian cyber attacks on Estonia in 2007, he said.
Mr Ives added that if Mr Putin's intention was to stress and demotivate Estonia with those attacks, or even make it vulnerable, then he could not have been less successful.
The CCD COE's annual conference considers how states should respond to cyber attacks and allows senior policy professionals, military commanders and technical experts to network.

Article By: Alex J. Rosolowsky
We have breaking Ranger related news at this hour; TVShowsonDVD has confirmed that the first 17 seasons of Power Rangers will be released by Shout! Factory in the form of Region–1 box sets for the American market. Home Media Magazine and Variety have also confirmed the news, which has been corroborated through Rangerboard.
The lack of proper DVD releases has been a source of frustration for many American fans of the show throughout the past decade. Although Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment quickly released both feature films on DVD, the TV series did not receive the same treatment. Disney released a "best of" compilation DVD under their Buena Vista label in 2002 consisting of a sampling of earlier seasons, but box sets of those seasons failed to materialize. Similarly, Disney also failed to release proper box sets of their then–current seasons, opting instead to release individual volumes, the majority of which were incomplete, edited, or otherwise altered in an undesirable fashion. Out of all of the seasons released as volumes, only Power Rangers Operation Overdrive was released in its entirety. In sharp contrast to Disney's American releases of their seasons, the British releases of the same seasons were frequently offered in the form of box sets, albeit with alterations and edits that were made for the British market. Additionally, many seasons were released in Germany with bi–lingual English and German audio tracks, along with minor alterations for the German market. The Shout! Factory agreement marks the first time that Power Rangers will see a box set release within the United States, as well as the first time that any season other than Power Rangers Operation Overdrive will see a complete Region–1 DVD release.
In addition to Power Rangers, Shout! Factory has also acquired the rights to several other Saban Entertainment shows, including Beetleborgs, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, and VR Troopers. Curiously absent from that list are other Saban Entertainment properties including Saban's Masked Rider and Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, although TVShowsonDVD suggests that there may be additional announcements forthcoming. Given that Saban Brands supposedly reacquired a large portion of the Saban Entertainment library alongside Power Rangers, such announcements would certainly not be surprising.
Also absent from the list of licensed properties are both Power Rangers Samurai, and Power Rangers Super Samurai. This is not an accidental omission, all sources have made it emphatically clear that Power Rangers Samurai is not included in the agreement with Shout! Factory. Likewise, the distribution rights for the feature films will continue to be controlled by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. The reasons for the omission of the "Samurai" seasons is currently unknown; they may be licensed at a later date, or another distributor may have picked up the license for the current seasons. Given that Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has retained the rights to the movies, it's possible that a Viacom company such as Paramount Home Entertainment, or Nickelodeon's own distribution company will handle the current seasons.
Shout! Factory is scheduled to begin releasing season box sets of Power Rangers and the other shows that they've acquired the distribution rights to this summer. Complete series box sets of Beetleborgs and VR Troopers could potentially see a release as well, provided that the season box sets sell well enough to justify them. It's worth noting that although other articles have worded this to imply that such plans could be extended to Power Rangers, The Power Rangers Samurai Times feels that this wording may be a bit misleading. Given the fact that Shout! Factory does not have the distribution rights to "Samurai" or "Super Samurai," the fact that Power Rangers is over 725 episodes long and counting as of this writing, and the fact that the show is still ongoing, it's highly unlikely that Power Rangers would be released as a complete series anytime in the foreseeable future. Likewise, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation is only one season long, so a season box set is effectively a series box set for this particular show.
At present, it is still unknown what season or seasons will be the first to see a box set release, as well as what the scheduled release date is beyond sometime this summer. If the staff of The Power Rangers Samurai Times had to guess which season would be released first though, we'd say that Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers – Season One would probably be at the top of the list. This is one of those huge Power Rangers events that we intend to follow closely even though it's not completely related to Power Rangers Samurai and Power Rangers Super Samurai; we will continue to offer additional information as it becomes available to us.

Rookie Zac Stacy has been a big part of the St Louis Rams' revitalized rushing attack.
But whether Stacy, who has rushed 141 times for 624 yards and four touchdowns, will get a chance to pound away at the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday is up in the air.
Stacy was one of three Rams players who left Sunday's 42-21 win over the Chicago Bears with concussion-like symptoms. Cornerback Trumaine Johnson and guard Chris Williams also were sidelined.
When a player has concussion-like symptoms, there is a process that must be followed before the player gets back on the field.
It is not known yet whether they will be able to play against San Francisco.
Coach Jeff Fisher said that each player will take the baseline concussion test once and then take it again before getting clearance.
CHIEFS MASCOT HOSPITALIZED: A man who has performed as the Kansas City Chiefs' mascot since 1989 is recovering in a hospital after being injured while practicing a skit for Sunday's game against San Diego.
Chiefs spokesman Ted Crews confirmed yesterday that Dan Meers, who performs as KC Wolf, was injured Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium. Crews declined to say what Meers was doing when he was hurt, the extent of his injuries or the hospital where he was taken.
According to the website mascothalloffame.com, Meers formerly performed as the St. Louis Cardinals' mascot "Fredbird," and before that was "Truman the Tiger," the University of Missouri's mascot.
Crews says Meers' prognosis is good and he is expected to make a full recovery.
RODGERS UNLIKELY FOR THANKSGIVING: Green Bay Packers Coach Mike McCarthy said the chances of Aaron Rodgers playing Thursday's Thanksgiving game at Detroit are "slim to none."
Rodgers, who suffered a broken left collarbone Nov. 4 against Chicago, has not played since.
STAYING IN OAKLAND: The Athletics and Raiders have new lease agreements to remain at the stadium they share in Oakland.
Officials overseeing the O.co Coliseum approved short term leases yesterday for both teams.
The Raiders' lease was extended through the end of the 2014-15 season. The A's were signed up through December 2015.
The A's have made no secret of their desire to leave for San Jose. The A's have complained repeatedly about the condition of the 46-year-old Coliseum. The derision went national when the sewage backed up into both the home and visitors clubhouses on two occasions during the 2013 season.
