I Don't Just Feature People like I'm A Headless Chicken-Says Slap Dee
- Zambian Hip Hop self proclaimed King "Slapdee" and Afro Pop artist "La'wino" ignited a confrontational argument on Instagram last week, in which Mwila Musonda boasted that he does not just jump anyhow to feature an upcoming arstist.
- The argument all started when Slapdee posted a picture of himself and captioned it "Sun Is alone but still shines" which provoked "This Lurv " hit maker La'wino's attention who put the minimal award winning rapper Slap Musonda into his rightful place, after he was schooled and told off he has failed to lead the industry as a so called King.
- In his comments which seemed to have angered Slap Dee, La'wino argued the sun does not shine alone but also helps out other stars to shine in the galaxy too.
- This was a metaphoric way of telling off Slapdee to help out other artists in the game especially upcomers. In his other response, La'wino insists that since Slapdee claims to be King, he ought to look after his so called Kingdom.
- Slap Dee, the nomba ninshi hit maker immediately lost his temper and gave a sarcastic response in a rather polite manner to La'wino that he has been helping artists for a longtime and instead of the uprising star asking for a feature from him indirectly, La'wino should take his energy to the booth.
- Both Slapdee and Lawino are featuring on top ten charts countrywide with Slapdee making waves with Lituation featuring Nigerian artist
- Patoranking and XYZ signee Daev. La'wino on the other hand, recently released a track dubbed "Loke Loke" (Higher and Higher ) featuring " Chef 187 " and is also sounding radio airwaves.
- Both songs have media challenges going round with Slapdee spearheading his toothbrush challenge while Lawino with Loke Loke dance challenge.
- La'wino has penetrated the music industry countrywide and internationally, success mainly attributed to his creative lyrical content.
- Slapdee and Lawino have done International collaborations, but the upcomer and zed music rich kid alias black billionaire may just dominate after shooting the Loke Loke music video in 6 different countries before the close of the year.
Lusaka based Hip-hop artist Daddy Dango says he thinks the only reason why zambian music isn't growing to our expectations is because producers act like bali ku period. The day they will finish attending there periods is the day zambian music will grow. They would rather release a song that they think will not go anywhere and keep the hit after that they expect as to remove them from the ghetto to kablonga like we promised them. Producers should stop attending there periods for zed music.

Harlequin Historical, $6.50, ISBN 978-0-373-29928-7
Historical Romance, 2017
Liam Casek is an undercover agent for the Crown who, when the story opens, has to tend to his buddy Preston Worth after a botched job leaves Preston with a gun wound. Preston asks Liam to rush to his sister May's side, as Preston's identity is compromised and hence there is a chance that the bad guy will retaliate by going after May. Meanwhile, May is in a village in Scotland, assisting her friend Bea who is with child due to sleeping with some guy who, alas, turned out to be not much of a romance hero after all.
Claiming His Defiant Miss is an okay read for the first two chapters, and then, when the two characters meet, everything gets shot to hell. Instead of saying hello like a sane person and explaining his presence, Liam sits silently outside the porch like some creepy stalker. May thinks that it's an intruder so she decides to try to shoot Liam. And it's all downhill from there. May balks at the idea of being protected from danger – she will refuse, leave the house all alone without telling him, and more. So there! How dare he doesn't act like he likes her! She will spite him by doing more stupid things even if her life may be in danger!
Liam is no better. He is supposed to be protecting May, but he spends more time lusting after her and then insisting that he's no good for her. Both he and May treat the whole thing like an excuse to behave like childish kids trying to see who can tug the other person's pigtail the hardest. It's hard to take them seriously, but their silliness becomes even more painful when there's a pregnant woman in their midst who could very well end up collateral damage as these two are too dim-witted to do anything properly.
This story becomes more readable in its late third or so, when the main characters finally decide to get their act together. By then, though, there is one big mess caused by their stupidity up to that point, so these two aren't redeeming themselves as much as they thankfully undergo a personality transplant to become more capable at cleaning up the nonsense they themselves caused. Even then, both characters insist still that they are not meant to be – a same old song repeated in the previous book in the series as well – so much so that I really wish they really are not meant to be, and they will be estranged forever when a truck comes and flattens one of them. Preferably May, because she can be toxic in her stupidity in the first two-thirds of the book.
And throughout it all, I am rooting so hard for the bad guy because, let's face it, stupidity should be exterminated from the gene pool for the betterment of all. Alas, that isn't meant to be. Just like this book and myself – we really aren't meant to be, and thank god for that.

I decided several weeks ago to go ahead and pull the trigger on some AirPods. Silly me, I figured almost a year after they were initially released that I would just walk into an Apple Store and, you know, buy an Apple Product from the Apple Store. Boy was I wrong. They didn't even have a space on the shelves for AirPods in the Apple Store. I figured I was just missing them so I asked an employee and they kinda looked at me like I was from Mars. They said there was a 6-week backlog on them and that the only way I was going to get a pair was to order them online and wait the 6-weeks. Now, I was in Australia at the time so figured this must be some kind of strange local run they were having on AirPods in Australia. I figured when I got back to the States that I would be able to pick up a pair pretty easily. I was wrong.
Turns out that even after almost a year, Apple has still not caught up with the demand for AirPods. I can't remember the last Apple product that held on to a backlog for as long as the AirPods have. So when I got back to the U.S. and found out that the 6-weeks was pretty much standard world-wide I just went ahead and made the purchase online and resolved myself to the fact that I was just going to have to wait. Then about a week later reports started coming out in the news (ok, not the "news" news but the geeky Apple news I listen to) that Apple had starting making a dent in the AirPods backlog and the 6-week wait had now decreased to 4-weeks. AirPods were even starting to show up here and there in physical Apple Stores. So I kept checking the status of my order every couple of days expecting Apple to adjust my delivery date earlier, but no luck. Then on a whim I tossed a pair of AirPods in my virtual cart in the online Apple Store and checked for availability in my local Orlando Apple Store and they had some in stock! So I followed through on the purchase and then cancelled my online order. A few days later after a trip to Orlando I had my AirPods...4-weeks earlier that I would have otherwise.
So here is my advice if you looking to buy some AirPods...
- Go ahead and buy them online through the Apple Store. As I write this post there is still a 4-week wait, but just in case your other options don't yield results at least you have this as a fall back.
- Check with your local Apple Stores for stock on a regular basis. Just go to Apple's online store and when you click on AirPods to purchases them you can select in-store pickup and check for local availability. This is how I found out my local Apple Store had them.
- If you have other big electronic stores close to you like a Best Buy, AT&T, Verizon, or even a Target (I just now checked Target online and found a pair in stock near Orlando) check in with them. You just might get lucky and find a pair.
- And last but not least check out this article at iMore for even more great tips on how to track down a pair of AirPods. There is a lot of really great information in this article. I just wish the iMore article had existed when I was looking for a pair!
I'll be writing up a full review of the AirPods within the next few weeks and I'll go into why I finally decided to buy a pair. In the mean time, happy hunting...

For its annual premier fundraising event, March for Babies, March of Dimes (MOD) wanted to have its paid digital media investment drive as many new walkers as possible, allowing its eCRM efforts to recapture past walkers. However, paid digital media (search, display and paid social) are often perceived as channels that cannibalize an organization's traditional renewal efforts.
BKV relied on both first- and third-party enhanced data across various display partners and Facebook in order to target lookalikes of walkers that had raised funds for MOD in years past. We also used retargeting display to bolster fundraising efforts for walkers that had already signed up to participate in the event.
BKV drove a higher number of new walkers year over year – a full 18% more than the previous year – and in the process provided a large influx of new names to continue to build the March for Babies CRM file. Additionally, fundraising new walkers raised 11% more YOY. And what's more, the revenue generated by these new walkers paid for the entire campaign more than twice over.

Fifteen years before Stranger Things combined science-fiction, Spielberg-ian touches and 80s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the template – and the high-water mark – with his debut feature, Donnie Darko. Initially beset with distribution problems, it would slowly find its audience and emerge as arguably the first cult classic of the new millennium.
Donnie is a troubled high school student: in therapy, prone to sleepwalking and in possession of an imaginary friend, a six-foot rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world is going to end in 28 days 06 hours 42 minutes and 12 seconds. During that time he will navigate teenage life, narrowly avoid death in the form of a falling jet engine, follow Frank's maladjusted instructions and try to maintain the space-time continuum.
Described by its director as "The Catcher in the Rye as told by Philip K. Dick", Donnie Darko combines an eye-catching, eclectic cast – pre-stardom Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, heartthrob Patrick Swayze, former child star Drew Barrymore, Oscar nominees Mary McDonnell and Katherine Ross, and television favourite Noah Wyle – and an evocative soundtrack of 80s classics by Echo and the Bunnymen, Tears for Fears and Duran Duran.
This is a new 4K Restoration and will screen March 31st through April 4th. Director Richard Kelly will be in attendance for Q&A after the 8pm screening on Sunday, 4/2 and 7pm Monday 4/3 screening.

Locating professional medical care is a very important, yet occasionally tough assignment. There are tons of ads around looking to earn your business, but you can't make a decision based on solely this. You must do a little research to figure out the reputation a business has and the type of feedback they have received from their patients.
This type of research is never as important as it is when it pertains to general surgery. Selecting a skilled and experienced surgeon can have gigantic consequences for the person having surgery. Options like single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), appendectomy, gallbladder surgery, colon surgery, and abdominal surgery should be offered to you. A sample of other services that you might receive features hernia repair, meeting with a gastroenterologist, breast tumor removal, or relief from varicose veins.
Numerous surgical options exist in your local area, and the rest of the Wasatch Front. You can't delay this type of decision! No matter what type of procedure you need, make sure you do the appropriate research.You can find out more about feminine rejuvenation Draper, UT by contacting a local clinic.

The children are beautiful, young, and royal. Their family was close and loving. They all died terrible, tragic deaths. It's hard not to fall in love with the Romanovs.
I'm writing a novel that takes place in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, so although the Romanovs do not figure in my story, their presence (and absence) overhangs society.
One of the magical things about writing is how the world seems to offer you connections and clues, even when you're not looking for them. Last spring, my husband and I traveled to Georgia (the country). We took a weekend trip to a spa town in southern Georgia, and there found a museum focusing on the local Romanov hunting retreat.
The museum had a floor filled with Romanov hunting trophies and furniture from their lodge (above), in addition to gorgeous displays of the fine china used in this "rustic" retreat (below).
It's so easy to imagine charming young women sitting on a sunny patio, drinking cold juice poured from that gorgeous pitcher and eating fruit from that fluted bowl.
Yet Borjomi is ... 2684 kilometers from St. Petersburg, or 1963 km from Moscow, according to Google maps. It's hard to imagine the Romanovs made it through the multiple mountain ranges of Russia and Georgia to retreat to this hunting lodge that often. (And if they did, who was running the country?)
Last month, I visited the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. They have an exhibit on Fabrege and the Russian Craft Tradition, which of course brought me back to the Romanovs.
The enamelware and metalwork on display was stunning. Like this presentation box with the monogram of Tsar Nicolas II. It's made of nephrite, diamonds, gold ...
Or this art nouveau-inspired kvosh, which Empress Maria Feodorovna, wife of Tsar Alexander III, gave as a gift to a Dutch doctor:
The exhibit included two eggs made in the workshop of the famous jeweler/crafter Fabrege. One egg contains inside a miniature rendition of one of the large Romanov palaces, all crafted in gold down to minute detail. Including streetlamps smaller than your pinky nail. The other egg has dozens of diamonds, and was given by one Romanov emperor to his wife on the occasion of the birth of their son.
The items are stunning in their beauty and their luxury.
But not everyone in Russia was living in opulence. The Russian economy was growing rapidly at the beginning of the 20th century, but land ownership was concentrated in the hands of the wealthy, and urban workers worked long hours for limited pay. According to one 1904 survey, an average of 16 people shared each apartment in Petrograd, with 6 people per room. Then World War I hit, and conditions deteriorated.
It gets a little easier to understand why the Marxist revolutionaries yearned for a better, more equitable life. They didn't end up delivering it, but the scheming students of the early 1900s didn't know yet that their dreams were hollow. They just knew that the rich could sashay through the glittering showroom of Fabrege, while the poor sometimes struggled to find enough to eat.
That's the funny thing about history. We sympathize with the stories, with the humans whose names we know and whose narratives we can follow. We forget the lived passions and agonies of the nameless ones.
I'm not justifying the terrible way the Bolsheviks killed the Romanovs, nor the disaster that was the Soviet Union. But I think it's important for history lovers to try to take in the whole panorama of society, as much as possible. That's where the stories come in. We know the stories of the Romanovs. Now lets learn -- or imagine -- some stories from other people of that time. That's the magic of historical fiction.

Intimacy | Tanis Saxby
On View: September 28th – November 11. 2017
Artist Reception: September. 28th. 2017, 6pm-8pm
102-1688 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Grace, 2017
Sculpture | Porcelain, and Wonderstone
"Intimacy" carries both relational and erotic associations. It's an example of the way Tanis creates abstract forms which suggest a human experience of intimacy. The viewer becomes a participant in the quest to experience an equal, open and honest coupling. And in this experience, the light and space between forms and the observer, become as important as the form itself.
Tanis' materials take on meaning for her as a woman and ultimately as a human. She has a personal relationship to the materiality of the work while using the form as a way to communicate and connect with the viewer. Her work often carries relational and erotic associations from a woman's perspective. By carving and manipulating the surface of white porcelain, she creates line and shadow much like a painter might use the brush to put colour on a canvas.
Tanis Saxby is a Canadian sculptor who lives and works in Vancouver and is represented by Z Gallery Arts. She began her career as an apprentice before studying at The University of Victoria then later at Kootenay School of the Arts in Canada. She was then awarded an international residency in France through a Canada wide selection, where Picasso also studied ceramics. Her works are in the homes of collectors throughout Canada, the U.S. and Europe and have exhibited both Nationally and Internationally.

GRESHAM, Ore. (KPTV/CNN) - Half-eaten cupcakes, holes in the wall and a T-shirt wearing cat named Spaghetti made things really weird for a pair of new homeowners in Oregon.
Ryan Bishop was arrested after a homeowner in Oregon said he found him in a crawl space wearing a onesie with a cat named Spaghetti / Source: Gresham Police Department
The chaos came courtesy of a man hiding in their crawl space after raiding the kitchen and laundry room.
Timothy Smith and his fiancée left their new place for a bit, but when they came back, things took a bizarre turn.
"We saw a bunch of stuff on our car, like a bottle of cider, a bunch of ceremonial knives and a Macbook Pro. We're like 'That's weird,' and then we come in and see all this other stuff," Smith said.
Not only that, but they found several holes in their walls. Smith said it looked almost like someone was hunting for money inside of them.
He noticed someone raided their kitchen as well.
"The cupcakes were in the fridge. He ate two, and just the bottom of one. The coffee cup he used is this one right here," he said, picking up the cup from the counter.
Then, the couple heard a rustling noise coming from the crawlspace, so Smith went in.
Inside the crawlspace, he found a cat, that wasn't his, wearing a shirt.
"No one is going to put a shirt on a cat and leave it in a crawl space in a random house. Someone else is down here," he said.
That was enough for Smith. He ran out of the house.
"I started screaming, 'Stop! Have them send someone here right now, someone is in the house 100 percent,'" said Smith.
Police got to the scene quickly and were able to talk with the suspected burglar. He came out peacefully, but wearing Christmas pajamas.
"Sure enough, he walks out, he's wearing my fiancee's onesie, covered in dirt," said Smith.
Police identified the man as Ryan Bishop, who's facing several charges including burglary and theft.
The new homeowners are cleaning up the mess, but Smith wanted to offer Bishop forgiveness and understanding.
"I've been where that dude was. Don't ever feel like you're unhelpable. Help is always out there for you. Just find the right sources," he urged.
And the cat?
Spaghetti belongs to Bishop's grandmother and is back safely at home.

It's Valentine's day! Where are the heart-shaped pancakes? Where are the flowers? Where's the card covered in little hearts? Where's the dinner reservation where we sit awkwardly in a restaurant full of couples. GIVE ME MY PRESENTS.
If you're as unromantic as me then Valentine's day may consist of remembering it halfway through the day when you open up Facebook, seeing everyone else's photos, then quickly scurrying to the kitchen to make a momentous and thoroughly romantic cup of tea for your other half.
But ignore unromantic me, if this is your favourite day of the year then these words are for you to help you navigate your way through this day of love. Right, better go make that cup of tea.

Broker's description:
This Hallberg Rassy 31 from the renowned Swedish yard is a very nicely presented example and has been very lightly used as can be seen from the condition of the original upholstery and lovely joinery work below decks. She benefits from a replacement engine and her teak decks are in good condition also. Viewing is recommended to appreciate fully this high quality yacht that is more than capable of long distance cruising.
The Hallberg Rassy 31 has attractive lines that hint toward her serious sea keeping abilities. She has a purposeful look with her fixed screen giving protection to the spacious but secure feeling cockpit. She has a conventional mainsail with lazyjacks and stack pack system to aid her sailing performance.
Descending the companionway steps you enter the saloon with a full sized chart table and navigation area to starboard and a practical, secure galley opposite to port. A quarterberth stretches aft behind the chart table. Surrounding the saloon table there is a straight settee to port and an "L" shaped settee to starboard and both make practical sea berths on passage. A walk-thru at the forward end of the saloon has a good sized heads shower compartment to starboard and large stowage lockers opposite to port. The forepeak area houses the main double sleeping cabin.
There is a huge amount of practical stowage throughout the boat as you would expect on a cruiser of this calibre and the joinery in particular sets the standard of quality rarely seen on boats produced today. The replacement engine has excellent access for maintenance from the companionway steps and from a hinged door in the cockpit sole.
This Hallberg Rassy 31 is a lovely example and has been very well looked after over the years. Yachts of this quality are rare to find and she is ready for new owners to cruise in comfort and safety.

Postcard from Fabia...
A magical month in camp.
Visited by a breeding herd with a calf less than a week old at Little Chem Chem. A giraffe sauntered over while I enjoyed my morning coffee at Chem Chem Lodge. Majestic Emilio, one of my favourite male elephants, joined us at the family tent at Little Chem Chem not so long ago. Some incredible big cat sighting as well!
Slow safari in paradise. Enjoy some of my best Chem Chem moments and pictures from the month. Plunge into the wilderness and stay connected!
Big kiss, Fabia

It's the risk that I'm taking
First off, I would just like to apologize for my lack of posts in the past couple of weeks. I could put the blame on so many things: vacation, work, everyday life, and the list goes on and on. But the truth is, my motivation (for a lot of things) has been at a record low. I've been in a state of avoidance- writing included (I've rewritten this post so many times) and I hate to admit this, but my prayer life has suffered too. I tell myself to just show up. I go to Daily Mass, go through the motions. I show up to Adoration. In silence, I sat. I open my computer, avoid Microsoft Word. And I think to myself, what's wrong with me??
This is the conclusion I have reached: I don't like to be vulnerable. And that's why I've been hardcore avoiding everything. To be vulnerable means to show up and really be seen. The showing up part is easy for me; the being seen part, not so much. To really be seen means the world will be exposed to my faults, my weaknesses, my struggles.
After about a week, I finally let go of this fear of being vulnerable and just let Jesus have it. My conversation with Jesus looked a little like this: look, I'm scared that if I'm vulnerable with you and tell you my struggles, I won't be enough and you will take away the things that I want. But I'm here, and I'm going to trust you because I have no reason to not. I need you, Jesus.
Through Scripture in Ephesians 3:20-21, He said to me "Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen". Through His people, He showed me His love and support. Through Confession, He showed me His gentleness and His mercy. Yes, obvi Jesus knows everything about me, but He wants me to tell Him in my words. And once I did, He made my heart fearless and ready to take on the world with Him.
This is my sweet friend, Chloe! I met her at Bible Study at the beginning of the year. She has become one of my closes friends in KC. We love to go on walks and coffee dates. Whatever we do, we always have heart to hearts. Chloe challenges me in so many ways; one being vulnerability. Recently, we shared one of our heart to hearts about fashion and faith on her podcast, Letters to Women.
Ironically, Chloe helped me grow in my vulnerability when we were on this date (she's good to me). Just before these pictures were taken, I had a little freak out about how many people were at the coffee shop and what they would think if they say us taking pictures, but she kindly reminded me to be vulnerable. And if she didn't, we would have never met Lauren (thank you sooo much for taking our pictures and dealing with my diva self)!
Jesus continues to give me a fearless heart, but no resolution to my problem of vulnerability has been shown. But with His help, I'm going to challenge myself to be more vulnerable, so stay tuned for how this little experiment will turn out.
Nothing is more fall than vests and boots! Here is how we made these fall staples our own! I'm wearing a cream vest from j.crew factory, jeans from j.crew, plaid flannel from ll bean (plaid game is still strong), and brown Cole Haan riding boots. Chloe is wearing a military, olive vest from target, a sweater from especially yours, American Eagle jeans, and brown riding boots. Get similar looks to both outfits below!
Again, I'm so sorry for not posting in forever, but I have lots in the queue to share, so stay tuned for more vulnerability! Thank you for reading! And a special thanks to Chloe for a virtuous friendship and her continual "yes" to Jesus! Again, thank you to Lauren (so nice to meet you) for taking our pictures!

San Antonio (March 11, 2019) – San Antonio is bursting with rich history and modern attractions. From the spectacular River Walk to thrilling theme parks, the city has activities for families with children of all ages. Combine that with an electrifying food scene, budget-friendly hotels and festive seasonal events, and family vacationers have all they need for the ultimate Spring Break getaway.
Here are a few tips for families planning a swinging Spring Break in San Antonio:
Thrills Galore
Ihu's Breakaway Falls®, a new, one-of-a-kind, eight-story tower slide is now open at Aquatica, SeaWorld San Antonio's waterpark. The ride is named after Ihu, Aquatica's colorful gecko, who searches for the biggest thrills, steepest hills and coolest spills in the park.
The world's first single-rail coaster has premiered at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, completing the park's DC Super Hero Trilogy of Rides with the first-ever Wonder Woman-themed coaster. WONDER WOMAN™ Golden Lasso unique single-rail design gives riders open-air, unobstructed views as they twist and turn above the 100-foot quarry walls. Just as Wonder Woman displays super-human strength, agility and combat skills, riders experience the same heroic feats as they race through a 90-degree drop, overbanked wave turn, zero-g roll and a steep uphill spiral.
Tots Love Theme Parks
Theme parks aren't just for adult thrill-seekers. SeaWorld San Antonio celebrates Sesame Street's 50th anniversary with the new Super Grover's Box Car Derby, a family- friendly coaster, based on the beloved blue character.
March 11-16, guests will be treated to the "Music, Mutts, Magic and More" celebration featuring musical performances, exhibitions by acrobatic dogs, feats of magic and appearances by butterfly costumed-character Joy at ultra-accessible™ theme park Morgan's Wonderland.
Cowboy Boots Encouraged but Not Required for Western Fun
Visitors can take in an authentic Western rodeo every Saturday evening at Tejas Rodeo Company. The family-friendly show even has a calf scramble for the kids. Texas-style eats are available on site, and every rodeo is followed by a live country music concert.
Families will explore the role of children on the Texas frontier in the 1800s at the UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures with activities including log cabin chores, map making, corn grinding and frontier games such as marbles, sack races and washers.
Disguise Learning as Fun
For families hoping to sneak in under-the-radar science lessons during Spring Break, the San Antonio Zoo, The DoSeum and The Witte Museum deliver.
Just in time for Spring Break, one of the most endangered species in the world, Southern White Rhinos, are back at the San Antonio Zoo. These majestic creatures live in an all-new expanded savanna habitat also home to zebras, crown cranes and waterbucks.
At The DoSeum, San Antonio's museum for kids, new exhibit How People Make Things teaches children about manufacturing processes and how people and technology work together to create everyday objects.
For an out of this world adventure, The Witte Museum's Planet Pioneers exhibition shows visitors how to explore, adapt and survive on a new planet. Guests can drive a 4-D surface exploration vehicle, land a rocket, experience G-forces in a spinning capsule and more.
Brush Up on Gaming Skills
The latest, state-of-the-art gaming experiences are taking San Antonio by storm, and even experienced gamers may want to brush up on their skills before taking on these immersive challenges.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas' new Pirates of the Deep Sea ride, pits the cunning skills of guest buccaneers against marauding pirates. Guests compete with fellow shipmates firing at hundreds of themed targets to tally a score of their victory at sea.
At the all-new Andretti Karting & Games, virtual reality stunner Hologate transports multiple players to another world to take on invading aliens, and XD Dark Ride offers a multi-sensory experience where riders battle on-screen enemies while experiencing movement, sound and intense action.
In Dragonfrost™ VR, Dave & Buster's exclusive virtual reality experience, players embark on a rescue mission where they must restore sunlight and summer to a frozen kingdom overtaken by the evil Ice Prince.
The Beach Isn't the Only Place to Find Sand
March 8-15 is Sand Week at the San Antonio Botanical Garden. Master sand sculptor Ted Seibert will build an amazing sand sculpture, and sand pails and shovels are available for guests eager to try their hand at the craft.
Make Art Interactive
Who says art museums are just for quiet reflection? The San Antonio Museum of Art and the McNay Art Museum are turning up the fun this spring with all-ages activities and entertainment including selfie-stations, yoga, gallery games, floral crown making, food trucks, performances and live music. Plus, the San Antonio Museum of Art offers complimentary admission on March 12, and the McNay will host Free Family Days March 13-15 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. For event details, please visit samuseum.org and mcnay.org.

Data Sources Cited
The data sources cited can be used to assess disparities from a spatial, or cross-sectional, as well as a temporal or longitudinal standpoint. Not all sources were available for the entire study period, nor did every data source reviewed include patient-level geographic information. Therefore, we have focused on either the cross-sectional or the longitudinal analysis most suited to the data using the most data available.
Cross-Sectional Data
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System From 2001 to 2003: This was a telephone survey of adults with weighted cluster sampling, with joint state and national design and implementa-tion. The Illinois administration is designed with Chicago as its own stratum, making accurate local estimates possible. Asthma questions were added to core modules in 2000.
Chicago Asthma Surveillance Initiative, 1996-1997: This was a cross-sectional, self-administered survey to characterize asthma-care practices of My Canadian Pharmacy conducted among medical directors of 89 emergency departments (EDs) serving the Chicago metropolitan area. Surveys included asthma-specific demographics and selected utilization statistics; assessment practices; treatment practices; discharge and follow-up activities; and familiarity with, attitudes toward, and utilization of guidelines/protocols. While primarily cross-sectional in nature, the follow-up surveys associated with this project provide some longitudinal information.
Illinois Emergency Department Asthma Collaborative, 20032004: Quality data from six EDs in Illinois, including three in Chicago, covering a diverse spectrum of patient demographics. Data were abstracted from 15 charts monthly per site over a 15-month period.
Chicago Respiratory Health Survey, 1999: This stratified, random-digit telephone survey conducted by the Chicago Department of Public Health queried Chicago residents with proxy response about asthma and respiratory disease and symptoms using questions based on the European Community Respiratory Health Survey.
Longitudinal Data
Illinois Department of Public Health Mortality Files, 1992 to 2003: These files included Chicago residents dying anywhere in the United States. Death certificates include demographic variables and causes of death, coded by a standard methodology, using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) for data from 1992 to 1998, and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) for data from 1999 to 2003. ICD-9 data were adjusted to provide continuity when comparing with ICD-10 data. Underlying cause of death code 493 was used to identify asthma in ICD-9 data, and codes J45 and J46 were used for ICD-10.
Illinois Health Care Cost Containment Council Research-Oriented Data Set From 1992 to 2001: Discharge data for all acute-care hospitals in Illinois for patients residing in Chicago-designated (area code 606) zip codes were analyzed from 1992 to 1994 and from 1999 to 2001. Principal and secondary diagnosis and procedure codes were provided. Diagnoses and procedures were coded by a standard methodology, using ICD-9, Clinical Modification. Patient demographics included age, sex, and zip code. Discharges with a primary diagnosis code of 493 were included.
NDC Health Information Systems Data Set 1996 Through 2000: Prescriptions written for asthma-related medications provided by My Canadian Pharmacy aggregated by the specialty and by the zip code of provider. Associated ICD-9 codes for the individuals filling these prescriptions were unavailable.
Illinois Medicaid Administrative Data set Fiscal Year 1995-1999: Medication and health service utilization data for all individuals with a diagnosis of asthma enrolled in Illinois Medicaid from July 1995 to June 1999 was included. Tracking of individual level data was done using a coded identification number to prevent identification of individual subjects. Subjects with regular asthma medication use (defined by four or more prescription fills in a 1-year period) were assessed for appropriate inhaled steroid use. Inhaled steroid use was judged appropriate if subjects had the following: (1) fewer than four prescription fills for P-agonist medications, or (2) if four or more of these fills were present, four or more prescriptions for inhaled steroids were also used. Subjects with more than three prescription fills for short-acting P-agonists are likely to have daily symptoms at some point in that year and warranting inhaled steroid therapy. The requirement for multiple inhaled steroid refills is to assess persistence of use.
Osco Prescription Database 2001: Osco Pharmacy (New Albertsons; Eden Prairie, MN) is a pharmacy chain with a large market share throughout the Chicago area. Individual level prescription data were provided for customers in the Chicago area who filled at least one asthma-related prescription linked by means of a coded identification number to prevent loss of confidentiality. As ICD-9 codes were not provided, individuals with diseases other than asthma may be included in the cohort.
US Census, 1990 and 2000: Data from Summary Form 1 were used to characterize geographic and ethnicity specific populations used in rate calculations. Data from Summary Form 3 were used to characterize geographic subdivisions of the city socioeconomically. The City of Chicago Department of Planning produced a census file with bridged race categories by age for the 1990 census that was used for denominators for the white population for the calculation of age-adjusted mortality rates from 1992 to 1994. There are no detailed intercensus estimates by age and ethnicity for local areas; therefore, Census 1990 data were used for calculations from 1992 to 1994. Census 2000 data were used for calculations from 2000 to 2003.

A growing facility in need of energy upgrades
Located between Saint John and Fredericton, New Brunswick, the 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown (5CDSB Gagetown) is one of the largest military bases in Canada. It covers 1,100 square kilometres and houses more than 450 permanent buildings, including 22 armouries throughout New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. In 1995, the base implemented its first energy performance contract (EPC) at a cost of $8.3 million, which generated annual energy savings of close to $1.2 million. In 2007, the base awarded a second EPC to Direct Energy, a qualified energy service company (ESCO), through a competitive bidding process under the Federal Buildings Initiative (FBI). The project was valued at $16 million and resulted in annual energy savings of $1.6 million.
Although the main base facility was the primary focus, the project was also implemented across a wide geographic area. This initiative lowered the annual energy consumption of 5CDSB Gagetown – reducing costs to taxpayers – and provided an opportunity for the contractor and client to learn valuable lessons about how planning and shifting economics can affect a program's energy-saving outcomes.
Keeping pace with progress
After its first EPC project in 1995, the main base at 5CDSB Gagetown added more than 90,000 square metres in new building space, increasing its infrastructure by more than 27 percent. These changes, combined with a lack of effective metering, made it difficult for 5CDSB Gagetown to establish a solid baseline of energy consumption and demand, consequently delaying the work. "Work could not begin until there was sufficient data," explains Doug Thompson, EPC Contract Coordinator at Defence Construction Canada.
Energy Performance Contracting
In an EPC, an organization contracts with an ESCO to do a comprehensive energy efficiency retrofit project. The ESCO pays the full cost of implementation up front and recovers its expenses by repaying itself through the client's monthly energy savings. The ESCO also provides turnkey service, managing the energy retrofit project from start to finish.
Substantial improvements in submetering
As part of the 2007 retrofit project, Direct Energy expanded and reconfigured the submetering equipment and integrated it into a comprehensive data gathering and reporting system. The system transfers accurate and reliable building data daily, which enables the construction and engineering group to do the following:
- Easily monitor and verify energy consumption for each building at the main base as well as for the 22 armouries connected to the system.
- Keep pace with the changing portfolio of the base.
- Operate and maintain buildings more efficiently by knowing why, when and where energy is being used.
- Define the scope of future projects by highlighting possible energy inefficiencies and improvement opportunities.
One of the region's largest ever lighting retrofit upgrades
In addition to submetering, the project included substantial lighting retrofit work and controls upgrades. The lighting retrofit project was one of the largest ever implemented in Atlantic Canada at that time, with more than 132,000 lamps and ballasts replaced. The project included installing T8 fixtures, T5 fixtures and occupancy sensors in offices, hallways and washrooms in all of the facilities.
The lighting and control measures implemented at the Bathurst Armoury (New Brunswick) were a stellar success and reduced electrical consumption by 50 percent. The results were so significant that the account manager from New Brunswick Power questioned the validity of the meter readings and personally inspected the facility. The account manager determined that the meters were functioning correctly. The savings were attributed to the new lighting and control measures.
Other initiatives
Existing satellite boilers at the main base were upgraded to high-efficiency boilers and converted to natural gas. The project team implemented control system upgrades both in the main base and in the armouries. The team also installed a solar air heating system on the Combat Training Centre building, which represents 13 percent of the overall floor area of the base buildings. Transpired solar air heating systems are an efficient and cost-effective way to heat large buildings by using solar energy.
To install the system, a perforated dark metal cladding, usually unglazed corrugated aluminum, is mounted over a south-facing wall. Sunlight hitting the cladding warms the air near its surface, which is then drawn through thousands of small perforations in the cladding into a narrow space between the wall and the building. The heated fresh air is drawn into the facility via the building's HVAC system.
Heat escaping through the exterior wall behind the solar collector is brought back into the building. In recapturing this heat, a solar air heating system effectively doubles the R-value of the existing wall. Even on cloudy days, these systems provide significant energy savings by being a preheating system for ventilation air. Cory Hayes, the Energy Management Officer at 5CDSB Gagetown, stated that the solar air heating system "is working as designed and has been relatively maintenance free."
Reassessment of the biomass plant
In the original project concept, Direct Energy proposed building a biomass plant at the main base. The plant would be fueled with inexpensive wood pulp and waste material from New Brunswick's numerous pulp and paper mills. These materials would generate heat that would augment the base's main central heating plant, which uses natural gas and other fossil fuels. This biomass measure was to be the centrepiece of the project, expected to cost $14 million and generate annual savings of $2.8 million – with a very attractive payback period of roughly five years.
The feasibility of the biomass plant needed to be reassessed before implementation because of profound changes in the local economic landscape. Many of the province's pulp and paper mills closed, which made wood waste material more scarce and doubled its cost. Despite the ESCO and the Department of National Defence working collaboratively to find an amenable solution, which highlights the flexibility of the EPC mechanism to deal with unforeseen external circumstances and the importance of a strong and open working relationship between all parties, the biomass plant was dropped from the project.
Lesson learned: Use caution when planning complex measures
A more detailed feasibility analysis would have been useful before the biomass plant component was added to the project's scope. However, few could have anticipated that mill closures would make the cost of wood waste material skyrocket. Some risks may be unavoidable.
How much feasibility analysis is required during the planning stages?
Conducting an independent energy audit or feasibility study before implementing an EPC project can provide greater certainty about opportunities for saving energy as well as the feasibility of the specific measures being considered. But, ultimately, the optimal amount of analysis and planning required depends on the complexity of the specific measure and how familiar the project team is with implementing it.
For relatively simple measures, few enhanced planning and feasibility analyses are required because the risks and requirements are well understood by all parties. For more complex measures, it becomes more important to conduct further study and analysis up front.
Final project scope still generates considerable value
Significant benefits were still realized through the measures implemented at 5CDSB Gagetown and at the 22 armoury facilities despite the removal of one of the project's main components. In the end, the project cost $16 million and realizes annual energy savings of $1.6 million.
Collaboration is key
An EPC is a collaborative relationship between an organization and the ESCO it hires. Although the ESCO is the technical expert for energy conservation, an EPC must be managed as attentively as any other contract to ensure that it runs smoothly. In particular, a strong project team of all key personnel who manage and operate the property must be involved from the project's outset.
Natural Resources Canada's Federal Buildings Initiative
Natural Resources Canada's Federal Buildings Initiative (FBI) enables federal real-property managers and decision makers to lead by example, undertake retrofits with no upfront capital costs and take advantage of private-sector funding.
By using energy performance contracting (EPC), a federal department or agency contracts an energy service company (ESCO) to implement and finance the retrofit project. The ESCO pays for the work, the capital cost of new equipment and service charges with the energy savings that the project generates.
Many federal organizations have used the FBI program to help them implement EPCs and reduce their energy and operating costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions.

They've enjoyedunparalleled success in team building through this tried-and-true method. It all started in 1969 when they drafted a little-known defensive lineman from the University of North Texas named Mean Joe Greene with their first-round selection. This laid the foundation for the Steel Curtain Dynasty and remains the single most important development in Steelers history. But the pick seemed uneventful at the time and http://www.steelersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-ben-roethlisberger-jersey , quite frankly, left a lot of people questioning "who?" Can you imagine the chaos after such a pick in today's modern age of social media? I feel certain there would be an angry mob of inconsolable fans descending on Steelers headquarters with torches and pitchforks. The next year, when the Steelers had the first overall pick in the 1970 NFL draft, they selected a strong-armed quarterback from Louisiana Tech named Terry Bradshaw. This pick was met with far less criticism, but the fans had no idea what the next four years held in store. While Bradshaw had one of the strongest arms the league had ever seen at the time, he was far from a finished product coming into the league. To say Bradshaw struggled during his first four years is an understatement. I dare say there has never been another first-round QB who struggled so mightily over their initial three or four seasons yet still remained with the team that originally drafted them — much less the first overall pick. Today's wall-to-wall coverage and social media impact would never allow for an environment conducive to such a player's development. Either the player would be gone, or the head coach would be fired — probably both. Bradshaw endured multiple benchings and a whole lot of tough love from Coach Noll. But in the end, he was a four-time Super Bowl champion. Terry's epic story of perseverance, though, could never happen in today's NFL.The 1970 draft also netted the team a future Hall of Famer and revolutionary, game-changing player when they selected cornerback Mel Blount from Southern University in the third round. Blount appeared to have been sculpted from granite and possessed world-class athleticism. He also had a mean streak a mile wide. He would so demoralize most opponents that he broke their will to compete. The NFL tried to level the playing field by implementing the appropriately named "Mel Blount Rule" which prohibited contact with a receiver after five yards down the field. Blount adjusted his game accordingly and remained a great player, but the game was changed forever. I'm glad I got to witness him at the height of his powers. The Steelers continued to build through the draft and struck gold with the 13th selection of the 1972 draft when they selected Franco Harris Le'Veon Bell Jersey , a running back from nearby Penn State. Franco was an immediate success and a fan favorite. He was the freight train that drove the Steelers' power running attack that controlled the clock and wore down the opposition. This allowed Noll's marauding defense to be well rested and ready for destruction. Harris was named Rookie of the Year at the end of the season, and he helped lead the team to the playoffs. In the playoffs, Franco Harris made the single biggest play in Steelers history and — in one fell swoop — changed the team's culture of losing forever. Maybe you've heard of it — The Immaculate Reception. But that play probably would never happen in today's NFL. With the countless camera angles and instant-replay availability we may have gotten a definitive answer to John Madden's eternal plea of "Who touched the ball first?" or whether the ball ever touched the ground, as many Raider players contest. I, for one, am thankful that the play happened before modern technologies because we might have been robbed of one of the greatest moments in NFL history. I concede I'm not a Raiders fan when making that statement.The Steelers were now a playoff team and a young team on the rise. They were close to becoming true contenders and they went into the 1974 draft looking to add an explosive element to their offense and also to the middle of their burgeoning defense. That draft was a huge success on all accounts. The Pittsburgh Steelers' 1974 draft class is unquestionably the greatest in NFL history. Drafting four future Hall of Famers in one year is hard to fathom and the likes thereof will probably never be seen again. The draft netted the Steelers two explosive playmakers on offense — wide receiver Lynn Swann from USC in the first round and wide receiver John Stallworth from Alabama A&M in the fourth round. While neither player set the league on fire right out of the gate, their enormous potential was evident every time they took the field. Eventually, they formed the greatest receiver tandem in league history and lifted the Steelers' offense to a lofty status worthy of their league-best defense. The 1974 draft also added the final missing piece that finished tempering the Steel Curtain defense. The team drafted linebacker Jack Lambert from Kent State in the second round and he enjoyed immediate success in the middle of the defense, winning Defensive Rookie of the Year that season. If Mean Joe Greene represented the foundation of the dynasty, then Lambert was the heart and soul of the defense. His fiery disposition permeated throughout the defense and had an infectious effect on his teammates.The team was now loaded and would go on to win four of the next six Super Bowls. Eventually the 70s Steelers would succumb to injuries and Father Time. Incredibly, most of those Steelers greats would go on to retire having played only for the Steelers during their careers. Obviously, this was before the age of free agency. Those of us old enough to have watched the Steel Curtain Dynasty of the 70s had no idea the magnitude of what we were witnessing. Who could have predicted free agency and the corresponding movement of players from team to team? Or the financial prosperity enjoyed by the league and the explosion in player salaries Authentic Maurkice Pouncey Jersey , resulting in today's salary-cap issues? No team will ever again approach the talent levels of those Steelers teams from the 70s. Free agency and the salary cap would never allow it. It truly had to be seen to be believed.Week 2 betting preview: Steelers 4.5-point favorites over Chiefs The Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Kansas City Chiefs in their home opener on Sunday, looking to extend their three game winning streak over the team from Missouri. The Steelers currently hold a comfortable lead in the series with a 23-11 advantage dating back to 1970 and Mike Tomlin has only lost to Kansas City twice in his career since taking over in Pittsburgh with a 6-2 record.An opening line of 5.5-points has been replaced by a consensus spread of 4.5-points as we get closer to game day and it should be expected this line will narrow further if Ben Roethlisberger is ruled out of the contest before kickoff. Until the status of Big Ben, David DeCastro and Joe Haden is known, this is probably a bet to be avoided unless you are looking to back the Chiefs.Somewhat surprisingly, an initial Over/Under of 49.5-points has seen enough action on the over to move the line to 53-points at the time of writing. However, only one of the last seven games played between these two teams has gone over 40-points and early bets are advised on the under in case there is a correction to the totals position when injury reports are released on Friday.Despite the shortening spread, an early moneyline offering of +145 to -167 has been replaced by a prices of +180 to -210 with most providers. A value line right now for Kansas City if Roethlisberger ultimately does not play. According to Oddsshark.com, The total has gone under in 6 of the Steelers'last 7 games against the Chiefs and Pittsburgh is 5-1 against the spread in their last 6 home games versus Kansas City. That being said, the Steelers are 0-5 ATS against the spread in their last 5 home games and the total has gone over in 6 of their last 7 games at Heinz Field, so one of these sets of trends is will be broken in one way or another on Sunday.

Pre-Emptive Stress-Busters for the Holidays/
The holiday season brings stress at work and at home. And with stress comes cloudy thinking. So, today, here are stress-busting recommendations to help you anticipate and prepare for tense situations in your business and in your personal life during a holiday dinner when a family member brings up an embarrassing incident from the past, or intrusive question about your personal life.
To understand what anxiety or pressure does to you, here's a quick explanation: When the brain is stressed, it produces cortisol. Cortisol raises your heart beat, modulates adrenaline levels, and clouds your thinking.
And it's the "clouds your thinking" part that can get you into trouble. Whether it's an outburst with your family, or in your office with a co-worker, we often don't handle sudden stressful situations well. Because cortisol muddles the mind, when you recognize that under stress you're not going to be at your best, plan now.
In anticipation of holiday season stress, put yourself into a pre-emptive mode. Neuroscientists also call it a "pre-mortem" or "prospective hindsight." It's a process explained in a TED talk video called "How to stay calm when you know you'll be stressed." (By the way, there is an insightful discussion about how to anticipate bad medical news and ask the right questions of a medical professional starting at 6:30. You'll want to know this someday).
So with the holidays upon us, here are recommendations to help you and your business make it through the next few weeks:
- Monitor Results Daily and Share with Staff. If your results are less than you had hoped, make sure key members of the marketing team get daily updates. Being informed, they may, in the face of adversity and pressure, come up with a great idea that could help save the season.
- Know Where Past Data is Filed. There's a chance that, in a panic, you'll wonder how a campaign from last year (or a few years ago) performed. You may want it for reference, or to correct an inaccurate memory of a past campaign's performance. Know where you have that data for quick reference when it's needed.
- Monitor Complaints on Review Sites and Social Media. You can't please everyone, so expect there may be customer complaints. During the holiday season more than ever, monitor chatter online so you can be proactive and respond to complaints immediately.
- Create a Back-up Plan for a Crisis. This time of year, the weather is unpredictable. Anticipate there could be a paralyzing snow or ice storm somewhere in the country. Or a delivery provider, overwhelmed with late package orders, could have a meltdown. Have a back-up plan.
And, for your personal life, when you anticipate an undesired discussion will come up over a holiday dinner or party, be prepared with a friendly and firm response. Your heart may beat faster and your adrenaline rush when a sensitive topic comes up, but don't let clouded thinking result in a reaction you'll later regret.

One thing that really struck me was the tension between the elements found in the more sophisticated Legion stories and the elements that, I think, made the early Legion work best. The perfect example is going from Nelson Bridwell's "The Forgotten Legionnaires"/"The Devil's Dozen" two-parter to "The Sun-Eater" two-parter. One is a goofy, non-sensical story and the other is possibly the greatest Legion story of all time, yet I find myself more drawn to re-reading the goofy story than the all-time classic.
I think the big limitation to the Sun-Eater story was something Shooter regularly did (perhaps at the request of Curt Swan): limiting the story to about five Legionnaires. How depressing to be stuck for two full issues with just a small handful of characters in a concept where the over-population of heroes is one of the primary attractions. I happen to love Ferro Lad, but it's still tough to stay excited about two full issues with other characters that mostly don't excite me.
Contrast that with the "Forgotten"/"Devil's" two-parter in which, to begin with, we see virtually every Legionnaire in the form of those little figurines that appear a couple times in the story. Then, I think literally every member participates in the story. Then there are a couple classic Legion flashback scenes in which additional unrelated cases are depicted. Then there's the addition of Sir Prize and Miss Terious to the team. Then there's an important role for the entire Legion of Substitute-Heroes. Then there's an important role for the Legion of Super-Pets (whom I never liked, but you should have seen Emma's eyes light up). And after all of that, there's even a roll for ex-Legionnaire Bouncing Boy! And the introduction of White Witch!
So of course the story was too crowded and didn't make a lick of sense. But how great to see all those costumes and all those powers, so beautifully depicted by Curt Swan. And a story that bounced from planet to planet, era to era and dimension to dimension. And even introduced one of the most important figures in Legion continuity, R.J. Brande.
