Desktop computer won't turn on after reset/update Windows 10
When you press the power button but nothing happens: the screen is blank, the power supply is completely plugged in to its socket. You can follow the fixes one by one to return it to normal.
Step 1: Take off all parts of the host and clean them up. When finished, assemble all components. Start the desktop computer and check if it is properly functioning. If not, try the next method.
Step 2: Remove the button cell battery inside the host for three minutes. In the meanwhile, you can release static electricity by contacting the front and back sides of the battery separately to metal.
Step 3: If there are any interchangeable accessories, you can orderly change memory, graphics card, power supply, and CPU to locate the problem.
Laptop not starting up after reset/update Windows 10
As for laptop, there is little possibility of loose internal parts and poor contacts. Generally speaking, the laptop not starting up is owing to the bad motherboard. You'd better take it to the maintenance station to repair. If it is caused by wet weather, you can solve the problem of the laptop not starting up by drying it or using a blower.

This is from Town Hall.
Send this freak to the Republic of Kalifornia.
he, she it will fit in with the other freaks there. He, she it is begging for money on line for a sex change.
The good folks in Arkansas should that
he, she it out and do the surgery with a rusty razor.
The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division is forcing female students at the University of Arkansas to allow men into their restrooms. Why? A transgendered 38-year-old man named "Jennifer" filed a complaint claiming a university policy that requires men to use male designated restrooms and for women to use female designated restrooms is discrimminatory. Of course, the Justice Department took his/her (?) side, rather than protecting the safety of female students. Campus Reform has the scoop:
The university made the reversal on "advice of counsel" after receiving a letter the DOJ sent in response to a complaint that a single, self proclaimed "transgender" student filed with the DOJ's Civil Rights Division.
"Because of the stance we took, the individual filed a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Justice," Mark Horn who is the vice president of university relations explained in an interview with Campus Reform on Tuesday.
Jennifer Braly, the student who filed the complaint, calls himself "transgender" with a "gender identity disorder." Braly, however, remains anatomically a man and is currently raising money online for Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS).
Braly filed the complaint with the DOJ after the university initially told him to use the campus's several gender-neutral bathrooms instead of the women's restrooms.
"Some saw me using the women' public restrooms and complained," explained Braly in her online appeal for donations for surgery. "[O]ne problem to this is there are not unisex bathrooms in every building. Especially the two main buildings where most of my classes are, so I have to go to a completely different building to use the restroom."
But of course, gender neutral bathrooms just weren't good enough for Jennifer, he/she just had to use the women's restroom.
The university offered to convert more current bathrooms into gender-neutral restrooms, but still Braly was unsatisfied and decided to sue.
"We tried to make reasonable accommodation and to find a common ground, converting the number of bathrooms on campus to gender-neutral," Horn from UA said on Tuesday.
A few years back I wrote about something similar at the University of Arizona:
The push for "diversity" on many college campuses throughout the country has gone too far.
The University of Arizona is one of the most transgender friendly colleges in the country according to the Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies UA website.
But does this make the University of Arizona less friendly to heterosexual students who make up the majority of the university population? When the rights of heterosexual students are infringed upon in the name of diversity, the answer is yes. Examples of the violation of privacy of heterosexual students are hidden in the fine print, and many students don't even know it is there. The restroom policy at the University of Arizona is one of those fine print policies.
At the University of Arizona, all students are allowed to use whichever restroom, male or female, that they choose, putting heterosexual students at risk for assault and violation of privacy. These "gender neutral restrooms" and the policy that goes with them were implemented on behalf of the transgendered students feeling discriminated against because they aren't comfortable with being forced to use one specific restroom.
The University of Arizona claims that the reason for implementing the policy was to avoid discrimination against gender identity. The university defines gender identity as "an individual's actual or perceived gender, including an individual's self-image, appearance, expression, or behavior, whether or not that self-image, appearance, expression, or behavior is different from that traditionally associated with the individual's sex at birth as being either female or male." This definition leaves room for excuses that may or may not be true for abusing restroom access rights.
Before attending the University of Arizona, Ashley Ralston-Alvarez attended Pima Community College, where she explained an incident regarding a male using the female designated restroom.
"When I was at Pima we had an issue where a male was sitting in the middle stall in the female restroom and grabbing women from underneath," she said. Leaving the option open for anyone to use any restroom makes room for people with the same motives as the male at Pima to take advantage of and abuse the policy for inappropriate reasons, violating privacy and the rights of all students.

Tor Client Bootstrap & Blocking Tor Nodes
When Tor doesn't have a recent consensus, it tries to contact the authorities for a consensus.
- New Tor Browser Download
- Haven't used TBB in a while
- Bridge doesn't work
Tradeoff between trying everything simultaneously and DDoS or overwhelming slow connection; and trying everything in sequence and being slow.
Security issues with clocks and old consensuses.
Automated Alternatives
- Try Old Consensus (tor)
- Increase consensus just-try-it period - security tradeoff - nodes can be down or compromised
- Should it be a consensus parameter? (would need to predict attacks in advance)
- Attack - deliver bytes slowly, or selectively deliver to clients
- Try Authorities (tor)
- Try (Old) Guard from state file (tor)
- Try Fallback Directory Mirrors - #15775, prop#??? (tor)
- Running Opt-in Trial
- What if the IP changes owner? (sensible backoff behaviour)
- What if some of the mirrors are down? (contacting the right number of mirrors at the right time in the right sequence, not too many, not too few)
- Use Cloud/Domain Fronting/FlashProxy to get the consensus (Tor Browser because meek is a PT)
- clock-based attack using old consensuses
- trusting cloud fronting provider / DNS / CA System
- Use Cloud/Domain Fronting/FlashProxy to get bridges from bridgedb (Tor Browser because it needs a UI for CAPTCHA, tor if we do an crypto proof-of-work)
- Trusting DNS / CA System
- Google, Microsoft, Amazon, CloudFlare, ...
Manual Alternatives
- Use default Tor Browser bridges
- Get a bridge manually
- Use meek
- Use an external VPN or proxy solution

City of West SacramentoHome Menu
News List
Kinetic Art Piece WEST Unveiled at Mill St. Pier
A colorful, kinetic public art piece called "WEST" was unveiled at the end of the recently refurbished Mill Street Pier in West Sacramento's Bridge District Monday evening, October 29, 2018. WEST was created and fabricated by artist Janet Zweig. It features hollow letters, four feet tall, which rotate and light up at night, creating an amazing spectacle that can been seen from across the river in Sacramento and from travelers on highway 50 crossing overhead.
A crowd of art lovers, Bridge District residents, and city staff joined West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon in a festive gathering that also celebrated the opening of Drake's restaurant and beer garden at The BARN just steps up the River Walk trail from the pier.
MayorCabaldon said, "The Sacramento River has been a defining feature of our city's history and identity. We are thrilled to have this monumental work by nationally renowned artist, Janet Zweig, that celebrates the city's location on the river and enhances awareness of the river's natural environment. West Sacramento will continue to integrate new dynamic public art in our new riverfront mixed use developments in the coming year."
Zweig describes WEST as an artwork about orientation that was made for the residents of, and visitors to, West Sacramento. The word WEST is oriented toward West Sacramento, though it sometimes turns 90 degrees to greet downtown Sacramento. The turning word plays with the cardinal directions of the compass and with the idea of the West as a place of promise. 250 steel bands cover the many old pilings surrounding the pier to show the always changing height of the river.
Funding for the WEST installation was provided by state grants and the Bridge District Property Owners.

Plaudits once again go to high end specialist SimpleTech.
Two years after it shocked the IT world with an (at the time) astonishing 128GB solid state hard drive, SimpleTech is at it again…
This time the crazy company has come up with extensions to its 'Zeus-IOPS SSD' 3.5in range in remarkable 512GB and 256GB capacities and if this weren't stunning enough, they're ridiculously fast too…
SimpleTech claims the "Zeus-IOPS SSDs are more than 200 times faster at random transactional performance than a 15K RPM enterprise hard disk drive"! This translates to sustained read speeds of 200MBps with sustained sequential writes hitting 100MBps. Despite this both models are also low power consumers using just 500mA in operation.
As you may expect with such high capacity, specialist drives SimpleTech was keen to keep prices a secret but did say it hoped costs will drop below $2 per gigabyte by "2012" which would mean the 512GBer would cost $1,000 "'in five years"'. Where it is now is harder to predict but I'd be surprised if you could pick up the 512GB model for less than $10,000 (I'll do some digging).
Still, it shows the potential is already in place for SSDs to take over as a mass storage devices and I can't help but wonder if eventually moving parts drives will booted from the consumer space altogether…
or at least I can dream!
"'Update:"' I said I'd find out didn't I! The 256GBer is out "now" for $10,000 while the 512GB version will follow in Q3 for the comparatively bargain price of $15,000. Sign me up for a terabyte!
It also turns out the company has just had a rebrand and will call itself STEC from now on and only supply the OEM market. Wouldn't you love to see these turn up in a Dell…!

New TPV Exec Off to Flying Start
Our new Director of Business Development, Mike Mason, spent Labor Day morning falling out of the sky with his wife over South Florida. We have no doubts that he'll be a rainmaker for the business, too. Mike joined the team several weeks ago to assist VP of Business Development, Vicki Norton. He's been through the TPV representative training at our corporate headquarters in Clearwater, Fla., and opened our new satellite sales office, in Miami. He's also closing in on his first contract, aligning a client with our new sales integrity services.
All of which qualifies as a "flying start."
"He's really settling into the role," Norton said. "Our business has been expanding quickly, and we needed the extra help to maintain our responsiveness. We're very happy to have found Mike, and we look forward to his personal and professional contributions."
Mike joins SVC with over 20 years of corporate experience. He was Vice President of Production for a multi-million dollar franchise organization with over 400 franchises in 120 countries, consisting of over 3000 employees. One hundred of the franchises in operation he personally opened and established.
He has traveled the world as a corporate executive and troubleshooter - consulting with franchise owners, conducting quality control checks, as well as ensuring each franchise is in compliance with corporate policies.
He's happy to have found a new career with a TPV industry leader.
"The Sales Verification Company is enjoying an exciting stage of growth right now, and I'm excited to be a part of it," Mike said.

"He died, under circumstances when he could have easily saved himself. He died, mainly because he wanted to do something heroic for the country. He died, because he had no fear of death. He died, because he wanted to make his parents proud.He died, because he thought thats the most splendid fate of a soldier" These are the words of Sandeep Unnikrishnan's maternal Aunt ( Mother's sister), who is also my paternal aunt( My father's elder brother's wife). If you don't remember Sandeep, he was one of the NSG Commandos killed during the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai: Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, Ashok chakra(posthumously).
He was the only son to Unni uncle and Dhanalakshmi Aunty. Contrary to her strong willed son, I remember Dhanalakshmi aunty as an epitome of tender motherhood. It's impossible to measure her loss and makes me wonder how she would be coping with the void left over by her son. Probably he was her sole reason to live, and what's life when one has no reason to live. Perhaps that's why they would have refused the financial assistance, including the allotment of a fuel station in Bangalore, assured by the Govt. And when the whole world remembers her son on the first anniversary, its lot more sorrowful for the family.Its like scabs of old wounds are torn open, all over again, and for many-many years to come.
He was a Hero even before his death. He was one of the idols in our family. He was the benchmark and whenever annoyed, my father would tell us to learn from this lad. I was a tad bit envious of him, for all the attention he received. He was a Lieutenant when I was barely in college and struggling with my uncertain future in the world, full of jobless engineers, architects and MBAs. He was a commissioned officer in the Indian army, earning what I could only dream of. When I passed out of college, that was my biggest motivation: I wanted to be richer and more successful than him. I was naïve to quantum success in terms of mere currency notes earned. He has become the hero of a nation, defending a permanent place in the history of modern India.
Last I had been to their apartment was in 2004, when I worked in India and had gone on a meeting to Bangalore. I was treated with some fine home cooked chicken and kerala food and she made Gulab Jamuns, specially for me. I had gone in the afternoon and since I had had my Lunch, she made me stay until the diner. She was alone at the apartment and she made me see all the photo albums of Sandeep, including his passing out parade at the NDA Pune, saluting in front of his proud parents (Coming to more than a thousand photographs). I remember when Sandeep came on vacations to his taravadu (Ancestral home), it was nothing short of a festivity. I remember his mother mention his fondness for seafood and kerala delicacies like Puttu/kadala and appam and how the entire family would join in the food preparations for his arrival. Kalumukaya ( Mussels) fry was his favorite.
He is a true hero and his death is a great loss for the country. But I wish a lot more that he was alive and Dhanalakshmi Aunty was her old, cheerful self. I have not been to their place since the tragedy happened, being away from the country and visiting once a year, but I would like to go to her on my next visit and assure her that she can look up to me as her son. I pray that almighty provide her enough strength to accept the fact and move forward with her life. Hope almighty provides her another reason to live.

Most of us can't imagine a world where Chrissy Teigen and John Legend weren't couple goals.
Yet, according to Legend in this interview with The Guardian, there was a moment when he wanted to break-up with Teigen, and she just told him no. Less than thirty minutes later they were back together, got married in Italy in 2013, and now have 16-month-old Luna.
"I was really stressed and busy," he told The Guardian. "I was just like: 'I'd just be happier single right now,' and she was like: 'No.'" Legend went on to talk about what Teigen means to him.
"She pushes me to be funnier," he explained, "not because she's trying to, I think it's just being around her. And to be bolder."
Teigen obviously responded to this part of his interview on Twitter, hilariously calling Legend out for being a "whiny face" that day, and praising how they are still 11 years strong. Honestly, they were couple goals even during this "break-up."
???? 11 years later, baby https://t.co/Kr7p7u8sqq
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) September 5, 2017
It wasn't a a typical breakup. He was on tour and his voice hurt and he was being a whiny face about everything and so yeah, I was like "no"
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) September 5, 2017
Legend also spoke about social media, a huge staple for both him and Teigen, who was blocked by Donald Trump over a pretty generic "loser" tweet (which is sad since there were definitely better tweets to be banned over). He explained that social media for them is a balance of marketing and real life.
"I think it would be harder if we were trying to put up some facade that wasn't real, but since who we are on social media is really natural and really a reflection of who we are in our private life in a lot of ways, I think it feels very unforced for us," he said. "It feels like a natural conversation. When I talk about politics on Twitter, when I Instagram my daughter, these are just the things I'm thinking about and the things I care about."
Here's to hoping they continue to unabashedly be themselves online, and never break-up again.

Hey Beauties,
Happy Spring! In this next episode there's a ton of tension between Wesley and Bianca. Check out the previous episodes to see what has Wesley hot under the collar.
That little stunt resulted in her husband giving her the silent treatment for a month. Every time she tried to plead her case, he'd walk away not caring to hear a word she had to say. Even though it hurt her to her heart that the man she loved acted as if she didn't have a choice in how she lived her life, Bianca didn't cave in. Because if she had given into his demands, she would have withered into a shell of nothing, becoming what he wanted her to be. Instead she poured herself into her studies and patiently waited for her husband to come around.
Bianca stopped her pacing as the tears welled up in her eyes. Taking in a deep breath, she tried to steady her emotions. Every time she relived that night, she always questioned whether she made the right decision by staying. Although she hadn't left her mother's home on good terms, after she and Wesley had their first big argument, she called home crying to her mom for help. A soothing voice is what she'd been looking for to calm her rattled nerves. Instead she got something else. She remembered having to hold the phone away from her ear, afraid her ear drum was going to burst from her mom's squawking rant. "That's what you get for running off with him! You're lucky he ain't start beating your simple behind. I told you he was no good! He probably got another woman running around town and that's why he doesn't want you leaving the house! Girl, bring your silly tail home!"
Though her mother's words were harsh, she had considered taking her advice, packing up her things and going back home. Although he was being unreasonable with his demands, her heart wouldn't allow her to leave him. Going with her gut instinct to not give up on her marriage had been the right thing to do, because things had gotten back to normal between them. Thankfully, she had allowed love to rule her decision and hadn't listened to her mom. After much discussion, the couple had come to an agreement that if school interfered with her taking care of their home, she would quit and go back to being a full-time housewife.
Until next time,

Once in a while an event happens that makes you rethink where you are. For LGBTQ+ rights, I thought we had come a long way: Canada has legalized gay marriage, popular culture has started to embrace LGBTQ+ characters, and like many unions, the BCGEU has a vibrant LGBTQ+ community. I was feeling as though we had made real movement forward on the issue.
The shooting in Orlando on the weekend changed all that.
Suddenly, the motivation for the largest mass killing in recent US history is who the victims loved. And it sets me back – are we really still here? Is such hatred, coupled with the easy access to guns in the United States, still able to wreak such devastating havoc?
It makes me more determined than ever to move together and continue to fight. I highlighted some of the BCGEU's main advances in my blog on the Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, but there is more to be done. BCGEU members have supported the growing Pride movement in smaller communities such as Fort St. John, Nanaimo and Quesnel, and we will continue to encourage our members to show solidarity as Pride events take place across the province throughout the summer.
We must continue to create safe spaces for all our members, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identification. We can bargain inclusive language into our collective agreements and union policies. There are many more ways to show our solidarity.
Trade unions have a role in supporting human rights for all members of our society, and this is another occasion where our strength is in our numbers. Let's show all our LGBTQ+ friends that we stand with them in solidarity, in whatever way we can!
We all have pride and I hope most Canadians support the LGBTQ.
As important what are we doing about management hiring discriminatietly and appointing people w no competition.
Our Union is jumping on every cause but focus little on actual hire practices etc. The North has run amuck for a decade and no one cares. The brotherhood who the union is protecting is very focussed on FN initiatives gay and Lesbien initiatives but falters on monitoring what's going on to existing members.
I support and stand with LGBTQ+ Also, thanks for the BBQ :-)
This world would be a far better place is more emphasis was put on a human as a whole......who cares what their sexual orientation is or how they present themselves as long as it's respectful........clothing is clothing, make-up is make-up......let's embrace the diversity.........it makes up the precious colours in our rainbow!.....one colour would be pretty boring!!!!!
I am so glad that the BCGEU has taken this stance on rights for all; which includes the LGBTQ community. It's about time that we embraced all peoples and genders; this is what being a "union" is all about. Solidarity.

I'm shamelessly academic in everything I do, which helps me think deeply and critically about my work. Seeing things differently helps me develop creative ways to make them better.
I believe images are the most powerful tools for teaching and persuading, so I'm constantly building my skills in video production, photography, graphic design, and animation.
To me, it's just as important to see what could be as what is. My imagination guides me in creating new projects and ways of communicating, and my work ethic helps me make them a reality.
My experiences traveling and living abroad have given me insight into different ways of thinking, organizing societies, and expressing ideas.
An idea is only as good as the way it's communicated. My writing and editing skills help me translate complex thinking into compelling stories.
Even with the best of preparation, I know things never go quite as planned. I can turn on a dime and adapt to whatever the situation requires (traveling on a shoestring tends to have that effect).

PHP 4, PHP 5 and PHP 7 Support in Cloud Website Hosting
If you order a cloud website hosting plan from our company, you will never have to speculate on whether or not your sites are compatible with the web hosting environment, since we offer several versions of PHP for your convenience's sake. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to pick PHP 4, PHP 5 and PHP 7 with only one single click and in case you wish to change the version, the update will take effect instantly. Thus, several years of work on websites built with an older version of PHP won't be in vain. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain hosted in your account, so you can run newer and older scripts simultaneously. Most hosting providers on the marketplace offer one, sometimes two PHP versions. Unlike them, we strongly trust that you should be the one to select the version that your own sites will be using.
PHP 4, PHP 5 and PHP 7 Support in Semi-dedicated Servers
It's our unswerving belief that years spent creating a website shouldn't be lost, which suggests that in case you get a semi-dedicated server from our company, you will be able to run any script, regardless of whether it is old or new. In stark contrast to a lot of web hosts, we support several different versions of PHP on our cutting-edge cloud platform – 4, 5 and 7. You will not only be able to enable the needed version via your Hepsia Control Panel, but you'll also have the opportunity to set a different version for each individual website. This can be accomplished simply by putting an .htaccess file into the given site's root directory. You can change the version both for a single site and for the entire account and the new settings will take effect in just a few minutes. With our hosting services, you can be certain that you will never chance upon any website compatibility complications.

Diversity in Beauty
by Rachel Warden
Without diversity, there is no beauty in humanity. Differences in skin color, body shape, and personality are what distinguishes an individual and sets us apart from other species; simply put, it is what makes us human. However, through popular media, images of what the "ideal woman should look like" have been overwhelmingly invasive in our day to day lives. Images of the "perfect body" are advertised in magazines, on television, and online; cosmetic surgery in the United States has become a norm amongst middle and upper class women. In 2013, more than $12 billion was spent on plastic surgery to attain the "ideal" look. In the United States, this look is similar to that of Victoria's Secret Angels: tall, slim, large busted, with "angelic" faces. In a cut-throat culture of painstakingly high beauty standards, many women don't feel as if they can meet up to the expectations thrust upon them by society.
An up-and-coming Romanian photographer, Mihaela Norac, seeks to tear down this one-dimensional idea of beauty. Her project The Atlas of Beauty captures the aspect of multicultural beauty, through photographs of women around the world. She traveled to 37 different countries over the course of 15 months to capture women of different shapes, sizes, colors, and cultures. To Norac, beauty means something special. It is something that goes deeper, beneath the skin. "Beauty means to keep alive your origins and your culture. To be natural, sincere, authentic, particular…"
Although Norac has received a lot of positive feedback from social media, she has also received some criticism. There have been a few remarks about the types of women photographed in this project. For instance, some women have pointed out that those who were photographed are all young. Norac responds on a Facebook status, "Until now 99% of the project was made with my own small savings and I didn't have enough time and funds to study all ages properly. So I chose one age: my own age. In the near future I hope I will raise decent funds to capture more diversity, in more countries because beauty is everywhere and has no age limit."
Mihaela Norac continues to travel the world to capture cultural diversity and authentic beauty. Her project has received some press recently, but The Atlas of Beauty still has much more ground to cover. Through these beautiful, thought-evoking photographs, women around the world can see someone to whom they can relate. From all different parts of the world, from all different walks of life, we may all look different, but being different is what makes us human- it is what makes us beautiful.

Sabres' Eichel came through when it meant the most
Calgary, AB (WGR 550) - In the first intermission when I was on with Brian Koziol I talked about Jack Eichel hitting the post on a clear breakaway and missing over the net when Sam Reinhart set him up alone in front. I talked about how your superstar player has to come through for you on those opportunities if you're going to have any chance to win against a good team like Calgary.
Eichel had gone five games without a point and his team was desperately missing his production. Listen, I think Eichel has been exceptional this season, on and off the ice, but this team is in crisis right now. They were getting further and further out of the playoff race and they needed him to come through in the clutch and that's exactly what he did.
Eichel played the whole 1:10 of the overtime and did exactly what good leaders and superstar players do, he dug down deep the beat Calgary's best defensemen and won the game. That was after hitting the post in overtime too.
I said the same thing after the game at San Jose in October. The team was sliding and Eichel was slumping. I told Brian it falls on him and he had to pull them out of it and he responded with his best games in Los Angeles and Anaheim.
It may not be fair, but Eichel wants that pressure. He wants people to look to him to be the clutch player. I asked him if he agreed with me and he did, "When things aren't going well you want to be one of the guys to make a difference. Hopefully that goal can get me going again and it's just what I needed."
It wasn't just the overtime winner. The goal by Rasmus Dahlin wouldn't have happened if Eichel didn't use his speed to get in behind the defense and start the cycle.
The Sabres played a pretty decent first period, but in the end, they gave up a goal with half a second left and left trailing.
It was a long shot by Elias Lindholm that Linus Ullmark stopped, but kicked out a huge rebound. Zach Bogosian had his back to Johnny Gaudreau and he made no mistake.
The Gaudreau goal really seemed to deflate the Sabres for the first half of the second period. They were back to giving the puck away and relying on their goaltender.
Ullmark put himself in a jackpot giving the puck away behind the net. He sprawled back to the front of the net and absolutely robbed Michael Frolik.
About nine minutes into the period, Casey Mittelstadt put Evan Rodrigues in alone with a perfect stretch pass and it was 1-1. From that point forward, the Sabres played well the rest of the second period.
The second period was also the last save that David Rittch made for Calgary. Buffalo scored on both their shots in the third period and its only shot of the overtime.
I need to say that I thought that was the best game Lawrence Pilut played as a Sabre. His passes were crisp, on the tape and on time. He competed hard in his own end and won many of the battles. Pilut paired with Rasmus Ristolainen.
I wasn't sure how they were going to do it, but the Sabres needed to get a win against the NHL's second best team. There were times they played well and there were times where Ullmark held them in, but they stayed together and got two points which is all that matters.

Last week at exactly this time I sat in this exact same rickety lawn chair with the sun shining on my back looking at these glorious green hills and felt an easy satisfaction with my life. As you might recall, I wrote a whole blog post about it—the post was called "confidence". That is exactly what I felt, confident.
Now, I feel like I jinxed myself. It is still sunny and beautiful—perhaps even more so as the rain this week is making the buttercups glisten and all of leaves pop out on the trees. But, there are two huge differences: (1) my left arm is paralyzed and (2) our sweet beast is no longer enjoying a puppy nap on my toes, but is instead permanently at rest. I have a deep ache in my shoulder and a longing in my heart. How quickly life can turn on us.
On Tuesday I had an accident with the tractor and the transplanter. I am really lucky that it is only my arm that was damaged. It was a shock I think meant to remind me to be more careful and move more slowly. It turns out, I am not invincible, and it's probably best that I start acting accordingly. The event was traumatic and certainly a setback, but in some ways it feels valuable and important. It was the kind of accident that really makes you grateful for what you have. The doctors are optimistic about my recovery and so am I. The lack of motor function in my bicep is frustrating but not unworkable, and I am oh so grateful to my family and to my community for rallying so quickly to my side. I do think the farm will carry on even with my capacity so limited. This is a huge change from last year when I really didn't have any labor support built in. If I had had this accident last year I'm not sure the business would have made it, or at least certainly not as well.
So if that had been the end of it this blog would probably be more up-lifting. But, very sadly, on Thursday our new baby puppy, Sweet Beast, was in a car accident. He was run over and we had to put him down. It is still very recent so I have yet to find the silver lining, but what I can say is that in his short time with us, he brought so much joy and he lived a very good little puppy life. So, we will move on and I'm sure there are other puppies in our future, but it is not without a heavy heart that I sit here in this chair and look at the spot where he slept so sweetly only a week ago. Perhaps that is the silver lining I'm looking for—life is ephemeral, so let's be sure and take our time to enjoy all of its precious moments, and try our best to be as sweet to each other as was our little Beast.

The green roof on Forge Barn is in full bloom at the moment. Green roofs have a number of benefits;
- providing colour and interest to break up an otherwise bland roofline
- providing wildlife habitat
- slowing rainwater runoff
- providing excellent insulation keeping interiors cool in summer and warm in winter
In terms of downsides;
- A green roof is comparatively heavy at around 125kg per m2, about 2.5x the weight of slate, and structural advice might be needed.
- It is quite an expensive roof covering, around £100 per square metre compared with slate at around £40 per square metre.
The Forge Barn green roof is sedum which is a low growing plant needing very little maintenance and tolerant of drought conditions. It is available in a variety of species offering a range of colours and heights. For anyone wanting to create a visually attractive and wildlife friendly roof a living roof is well worth considering.

I loved making these cookies. I have a favorite sugar cookie recipe called Signature Sugar Cookies. I made two batches Out of one batch, I made 12 wedding dresses. Out of the other batch came 40 love cookies. The love cookies were put on the desert table. The bride dresses were put in cellophane bags and tied with a ribbon. The kids took them home.
Then it came time to decorate. The afternoon before the wedding, with advice and suggestions from my friend Willa, my sister and I hung toule, swagged pearls. Bunches of fresh Nova Scotia ivy dropped from the bows. It was just perfect.

"They didn't play Civil War!" exclaimed a disappointed 2famousTV fan.
"You think they should've capitalized on the opportunity?" I asked.
"Well yeah! It's relevant here [in Lebanon]."
My own intuition had me thinking that not playing the song Civil War was a courteous thing, but there were definitely some local fans (of Guns N Roses) who felt otherwise. I thought it was a much safer bet to bank on playing the Lebanese national anthem (which they did), than a song that relates to darker days in history. Ironically, however the loudest crowd sing-along of the night was not the Lebanese national anthem, or a Guns N Roses classic, it was Axl's cover of Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall.Regardless of what songs people did or did not want to hear, Saturday's show at the Forum de Beyrouth was surprisingly decent. The set list was a medley of legendary classics like November Rain and Welcome to the Jungle, which were performed with pretty impressive energy and precision. While I grew up listening to GnR, I never quite understood why Axl Rose was held up as this "mesmerizing" front man. After Saturday's show I now at least have some idea. Basically, when a song begins Axl has this way of demonstrating that he's exercising restraint; like restraint from freaking out and beating the shit out of everyone. As the tension in the song builds and climaxes he rushes to the front of the stage and lets out his infamous raspy screams over a wall of epic guitar noise. When this dynamic is repeated multiple times in classics like Don't Cry and Live and Let Die (originally by Paul Mcartney) it all begins to make sense.
Now, I'm not saying this show paralleled anything in the 80's (not much does), and it was not the real Guns N Roses anyway. However, standing in an arena with 10 000 screaming fans, Axl's surprisingly intact voice, and a massive wall of amps gave me an idea of what all of those dudes in the 80's were talking about.In true Axl fashion, he didn't turn up at the post-concert meet n greet session. Instead Axl's supposedly plastic face and infamous attitude became a topic of drunken conversation. Even in a city like Beirut, where plastic surgery is said to be widely popular, Axl looked a little…well…"different." However, if we're honest, if we're really honest, the vast majority of us would have been totally over the moon if Axl had come to hang out after the show. People would've taken photos, and then 20 years later (when Axl still looks exactly the same) be like, "Yeah, back when Axl played the Forum in 2013, I hung out with him backstage. Check my Facebook, the pictures are there… but you know he's really just a normal guy, so it was cool. No big deal really."

Dividend stocks are arguably the most critical component to the success of any long-term investor. According to the latest statistics from FactSet, S&P 500 companies paid out a whopping $91.5 billion in dividends during the second quarter, or an extrapolated pace of $366 billion per year.
But not all dividend stocks are created equally, which means you must be somewhat discerning when researching the more than 1,900 small-cap and larger companies that have paid a dividend within the past 12 months.
How do you weed out the good from the bad, you ask? The answer is to dig beyond the dividend yield itself and look at the company behind the payout. Once you've judged the growth, value, and sustainability of the business, you'll have a better bead on whether you should consider a dividend as high quality or not.
Within the healthcare sector, for example, dividends are already somewhat rare, so investors who spot any yield could be liable to chase it. Sometimes that can be a very bad choice. That's why today we're going to pit Merck (NYSE:MRK) against Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY) to decipher if both companies are worthy of investors' dollars and to determine which is the better dividend stock.
The first thing investors need to establish when analyzing a dividend stock is whether the company has genuine sales and profit growth potential. A company that can't grow its sales or profits will find it difficult, if not impossible, to grow its dividend.
As with most big pharmaceutical companies, both Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb present a mixed case of growth, as newly approved therapies and acquisitions are being counted on to offset patent exclusivity losses.
Merck is already dealing with the loss of patent exclusivity for asthma blockbuster Singulair, which previously brought in up to $5 billion per year in sales, as well as brain cancer drug Temodar. Worse yet, Merck's cholesterol-lowering drugs Zetia and Vytorin will face generic competition within the next three years, and they're both on pace to contribute about $4.5 billion in revenue this year.
Since 2012, Bristol-Myers Squibb has witnessed generic competition step up against previous blood pressure blockbuster Avapro, blood thinner Plavix, and HIV treatment Sustiva. By 2015, Bristol-Myers will also be staring down the exclusivity loss of schizophrenia drug Abilify, which is on pace to deliver close to $1.5 billion in total U.S. sales this year.
Of course, each company also has plenty of promise. Perhaps the most interesting comparison that can be made between the two is that they're both heavily focused on their hepatitis C and anti-PD-1 inhibitors.
While arguably light years behind Gilead Sciences' (NASDAQ:GILD) Sovaldi, which racked up in excess of $5 billion in sales through its first two reported quarters on the market, both Merck and Bristol-Myers have promising hepatitis C drugs in development.
Merck's combo of MK-5172 and MK-8742 delivered a 98% sustained virologic response after 12 weeks, according to data released in April. Inclusive of its Idenix Pharmaceuticals acquisition, Merck could have a number of hepatitis combo offerings. Bristol-Myers, in addition to developing in-house hepatitis C drugs, has swallowed its pride and gone with the "if you can't beat them, join them" approach. Its drug daclatasvir looks as if it could be a fantastic combo fit with Gilead's Sovaldi.
In anti-PD-1 inhibitor cancer therapies, Merck received accelerated FDA approval on advanced melanoma drug Keytruda four weeks ago. Chances are good that an approval for Bristol-Myers' Opdivo isn't far behind. Both drugs dramatically improved survival rates and overall response rates in clinical studies and have an opportunity to expand to a number of additional solid tumor indications.
Despite this extremely close battle, I'm giving this category to Bristol-Myers by a nose since it is expected to produce higher revenue growth over the next five years than Merck.
Dividend investors like to feel as if they're getting good value when purchasing a dividend stock. Under normal circumstances, looking at financial metrics in the healthcare sector is pointless since so many companies are in the clinical stage of their product development. However, Merck and Bristol-Myers have well-established product pipelines and cash flow, so a comparison could actually yield differentiated and meaningful results.
Here are some pertinent data points for these two pharmaceutical stocks:
Price/Sales (TTM)
PEG Ratio
Forward P/E
Profit Margin (TTM)
Net Cash/Debt
($9.7 billion)
Bristol-Myers Squibb
($0.6 billion)
Would we really have expected anything other than mixed data?
On one side of the coin, Bristol-Myers Squibb is clearly going to grow faster than Merck (thus its low PEG ratio), has a modestly better trailing profit margin, and has a much more enticing net debt position. Conversely, Merck is cheaper than Bristol-Myers when it comes to price-to-sales and is significantly cheaper on a forward P/E basis.
Considering that growth prospects were so close in the prior category, after weighing both sides I've determined Merck to be the slightly better value with strong cash flow and a low P/E ratio. It could be five years before Bristol-Myers' forward P/E dips below 20.
This means the battle for which is the better dividend stock comes down to sustainability -- and not only sustainability of the dividend, but of the business model over the long term. Admittedly, it's tough to decipher how well or poorly a pharmaceutical company will be doing 30 years down the road, but it's not out of the question to look 10 years ahead in order to analyze these businesses.
Though both companies are clearly facing patent cliff concerns, I also believe they have the internal tools and ability to make accretive acquisitions to counteract these revenue losses over time. The real question is which company is most likely to deliver better dividend growth over time.
At the moment, Merck's 3.1% dividend yield and Bristol-Myers' 2.9% yield are very similar. Yet there's one major difference: payout ratio. Bristol-Myers is projected to pay out 83% of its earnings in the form of a dividend to shareholders in 2015. Merck's figure is just 49%. Though Bristol's EPS growth is expected to pick up in the second half of the decade, this would leave Merck as the more likely of the two to grow its dividend at the quickest pace.
The better dividend stock is...
Though Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb have quite a few similarities, and both would probably make reasonably good additions to a dividend income portfolio, Merck appears to be the better dividend stock. While Merck's revenue growth might struggle in the near future, its ability to cut costs and its focus on hepatitis C and cancer treatments should allow it to continue to deliver a dividend yield of approximately 3% or higher for many years to come.

Here is the next image I've processed from the data coming out of the observatory. It is of NGC 6951 or NGC 6952 depending on which catalog you look in and the surrounding Integrated Flux Nebula.
This spiral galaxy is 75 million light years away and is classified as a Seyfert Type II galaxy that we view face-on. Even though it appears tiny in the picture below it is a galaxy containing billions of stars.
This image is comprised of over 20 hours of data. We captured almost 24 hours in total but only kept the best data which came out to 300 minutes of blue and green, 330 of luminance, and 270 minutes of red in ten minute sub exposures.
Thanks for looking.

The Studio Artist program is designed to support and encourage both long term and short term members.

Members are not expected to be experts, but they are expected to both care for the upkeep of their studio and understand the basics of safely working within it. If you have an interest in the medium and you are a responsible and respectful person, we encourage you to apply.
While membership is not a class, Studio Members receive the benefit of an exclusive weekly open studio, monitored by one of our Resident Experts. Our Experts generously give their time each week to provide Studio Members with assistance, advice, demonstrations, and project feedback. We are so grateful to be able to offer this benefit to our Studio Members.
Studio Member bonus: Members are invited to "bring a buddy" on the last Friday of each month, 6pm-9pm. Members are responsible for guiding their friend in the studio, communicating safe and responsible studio practices, and either sharing materials with their friend or assisting them in purchasing what they need from the Alchemy store.

Okay, I've been slacking on this blog series. But, I kind of knew I would, because life happens and I'm not perfect. But, I'm so excited to be back at it and documenting our daily life more. If you'd like to catch up on previous months you can read them here!
Summer has been flying by this year - what is happening?! I feel like I blinked and July is nearly over. It's been HOT here in VB, but we've been keeping cool at the pool and keeping our days mostly unplanned. We've been wanting to head over to Pungo Blueberries since it opened a few weeks ago, but the heat and weekend obligations have kept us away. When I saw it was going to be a cool and breezy 80 degrees Saturday morning, we went for it, LOL! The girls are seasoned pickers now after our 27 lbs of strawberries picked earlier this season (yes, we support child labor laws.. ha!) so we spent nearly two hours just wandering, sampling and picking. We ended up freezing a TON, so I'm very excited about all the smoothie combinations to come :)
This isn't a complete "Day in the Life", but since I traveled to see my sister after this outing I figured you didn't want car selfies or gas pump stops... or did you? Hm.
Blueberry and Blackberry prettiness.
I managed to get Charlotte's hair in pigtails, but girlfriend has hair ALL different lengths, so it's still a mop of curls on top, LOL! This image was a test shot where I missed focus, but I'm just so in love with it anyway <3 Those sweet curls!
My big girl. Almost in Kindergarten. *sob*
I have to remind myself to get in the shot too. Even when looking a hot mess ;)
And then Charlotte found the joys of pulling the wagon. All. around. the blackberry patch. About 20 times, LOL!
I hope you're having a wonderful Summer and finding time to stop and enjoy it!
P.S. I have something VERY fun planned for my awesome clients to mark my biz anniversary this weekend - be sure to sign up for the newsletter, subscribers get first dibs. I'm only offering a few! AND, I am thrilled for the Mommy and Me mini-sessions on Sunday! I have one more slot left if you'd like to snag it :)
