I'm one week away from my second Lake Placid Ironman. One more year of training under my belt. One more year of discipline, sacrifice, emotional and mental fitness, all in the pursuit of celebrating my fitness with one long ass day of swimming, biking, and running. It's not really about the race. Yes, it is an incredible day. The energy is amazing. It's a true test of your mental and physical endurance. But at the end of the day, it's not about the sixteen hours and 50 minutes of competition (this year I'll be sub 10 hours), it's about the 365 days of purposeful practice and preparation.
You see, success happens behind the scenes. When I cross the finish line in Lake Placid, it's because of my 3am wake-up calls, my carb cycling, my heart rate monitoring, my foam rolling, my swim lessons, and more. When my company lands on the Inc. 5000 for the second year in a row, it's because of my team attending late-night town planning meetings, connecting with investors, putting together pitch decks, pricing projects, choosing interior finishes, and more. These awards, accolades, summits, and finish lines are achieved only by months and sometimes years of hard work, focus, grit and determination. We know overnight successes are a fallacy. It's truly what happens behind the scenes that matters.
What's going on behind the scenes of your life, your relationships, your fitness, or your business? If you want to achieve success, in any sense of the word, you've better be putting in the work. And not just when people are watching. It's what you are doing when there isn't an audience, when your boss isn't looking over your shoulder, or when their isn't a cell phone camera waiting to capture the moment, that really counts. It's the difference between a pro and an amateur. The real victory happens before or after hours, before or after a game, when no one is watching. It's when the pro athlete or the pro business leader is alone. Are they getting an extra work-out in? Are they pouring over the company's numbers? Are they reading about how to scale? Success is not about natural skill or ability; it is all about hunger and resourcefulness. There are no participation trophies on the road to success.
When you are putting in the time, energy, and extreme focus to accomplish your goal it's going to be messy. Think about your favorite TV show. You've got hundreds of cameras, a catering crew, props, trailers, cast members milling about, wires running everywhere. It's a complete mess. But when you settle down to binge watch The Suits, it's pure art. Behind the scenes of business or a fitness competition isn't that different. Things are breaking, employees leave, your feet are bleeding, but it's those moments of pain, that if you can endure them for long enough that ultimately leads to success.
Emotional fitness is your ability to stay focused on a singular task that leads to the greatest result over time. I'm really practicing my emotional fitness right now as I'm in the home stretch to Lake Placid. Think about emotional fitness like this: If you hold your hand over a flame, you'll likely rip it away as soon as you feel the heat. You put your hand over the flame again, and again you rip your hand away. You do this over and over. You can't take the heat. You can't take the pain. But… as you develop emotional fitness, you are able to hold your hand over the flame for longer amounts of time. You are able to endure the pain, just a bit longer. As you do this, your baseline for pain increases and you're able to take on even more the next time. Over time, overall, your life improves! But how many of you rip your hand away from the flame before you've really tested your limits? What are you ripping your hand away from? Ultimately, you're moving away from lasting success. Hold the line longer today and then tomorrow. Incremental growth will lead to geometric growth.
And, as I said before, though it bears repeating, no one is going to see you test your limits. This is all going on behind the scenes. It's those day long training sessions. Those late nights working on your blog. People are going to call you crazy. Let them. Be committed to running your own race and to hell with the naysayers. You may not be smarter or physically stronger, but you can beat people mentally. You can out-work and outlast the competition. It's not going to be easy, but it will be worth it.
I've endured the past 365 days of training. I've endured the past 10 years of building 5 business with 40 employees and over 300 independent contractors. Now it's time to execute, to deliver, to celebrate. But only for a minute. Then it's back to the grind. Because that grind is the real success.

Welcome to March, the month when the wind blows - as in really blows.
But here's some distressing news: The fearsome "March winds" commenced a couple of days early, climaxing Sunday in a day of terror across the Panhandle.
Fifty-eight homes in Randall and Potter counties were destroyed or damaged heavily by wind-swept fire that roared across roughly 32,000 acres north and south of Amarillo. Authorities report at least one person has died from the fires. Scores of animals perished in the blazes; many animals were rescued as well.
The misery will be felt by families for a long time.
The cause of the fires has not yet been confirmed, but sheriff's and fire department fire investigators are hard at work determining what lit the Panhandle ablaze and, one can hope, will find a way to prevent a recurrence.
Our hearts and prayers ought to go at this time to those who suffered loss from the fire.
But as always, it's also time to issue a word of warning.
It is dangerous in the extreme to be messing with open flames in this weather.
Pardon the pun, but those of us who have any knowledge of the weather conditions around here this time of year understand the consequences of playing with fire.
We've had a relatively dry winter to date. The long-term weather forecast doesn't envision much moisture dampening the many miles of open country. Thus, these conditions place pressure on all of us to take extreme care.
The wind occurs with regularity and March usually signals the start of the windy season.
Given that the wind blows in the Panhandle almost all year long, that's really saying something.
You've seen the electronic message boards across our interstates advising motorists to exercise extreme caution of the fire danger, yes?
Pay attention to those warnings. The consequences of ignoring them can be deadly.

Q: If I forgot the password, what I should do?
A: In order to make ACE full password protected, the password is stored in the AZF file. Please do remember your password. If you forget the password, you will not be able to use compressed files created with the previous password. The solution is to delete /ACE/ACE.pwd file in the flash drive, then make a new password. However, old files used with the previous password cannot be opened again.
Q: Why can't I assign the decompression location?
A: When you use the drag and drop interface to decompress AZF files, you can assign the default location to save your file. However, if you double click or right click on the mouse to decompress, you can only save the file into the same location as the AZF file.
Q: If I accidentally delete the ACE program, what should I do?
A: Please go to ace.apacer.com or Apacer's website at www.apacer.com (service/support download) to download the software again to the flash drive.
Q: If I re-set the password (but do not change the password), can I open the compressed files which were already saved in the flash drive?
A: The password will be saved in the AZF file. Therefore, when the password is re-set, you cannot open the files unless the password is exactly the same as the old one.
Q: Why can't I use a keyboard shortcut key to copy a file?
A: The ACE design uses a drag and drop interface. Therefore, there is no support for a keyboard shortcut support.
Q: When I drag and drop an AZF file into the ACE window, why does the file not get compressed again?
A: The compression function only works once. When you drag and drop AZF files into ACE window, it will only copy the file and not compress it again.
Q: If I can't run ACE software that has downloaded to my Apacer Handy Steno series USB drive, what can I do?
A: Form now on, if you buy the following Apacer Handy Steno series models: AH220, AH320, AH123, HA202, or the latest Apacer USB drives, you can download ACE to your Apacer Handy Steno series USB drive to enjoy the powerful compression rate from ACE. If you've downloaded ACE software to Apacer USB drive but cannot run it, please contact your nearest Apacer dealer or Apacer service center on Apacer website.

Chris Metzen (Senior vice-president of Story Development) said something during the BlizzCon 2014 Overwatch Unveiled panel that totally floored me, and most likely a lot of people who caught Metzen's drift.
As you can read in our Overwatch panel transcript (page 4), Metzen dropped a massive hint bomb that will leave you scratching your forehead in deep thought.
This is a transcript of the Overwatch Unveiled panel held at BlizzCon 2014. Panelists were Jeff Kaplan (Lead Game Designer) and Chris Metzen (SVP of Creative Design & Story Development).
Overwatch is a team-based shooter centered in a futuristic Earth where robots took over the world, and a special world strike force was pooled to counter that global threat. Thirty-years later, Overwatch fell apart, and a new threat is looming. Heroes must band together to deal with it. Below is the transcript of the panel, which explains the characters, map locations and gameplay roles in the game.
Reinhardt is a durable tank, using his Barrier Field to provide cover for teammates. The Rocket Hammer swings through all enemies in front of Reinhardt. Use Fire Strike to damage enemies at range.

This is a full transcript of the BlizzCon 2014 Opening Ceremony where Blizzard Entertainment unveiled Overwatch, StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void and Hearthstone: Goblins vs Gnomes.
Presentator: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome president and CEO of Blizzard Entertainment Mike Morhaime
Morhaime: Hello everyone! Welcome to BlizzCon 2014!
I know there are some of you who have attended multiple BlizzCons. How many of you have been to BlizzCon before? And how many of you are joining us for the very first time?
We are thrilled that you are here! Not only are you among friends, you are among family.
Some of my favorite life memories have been created here with you at past BlizzCons and I expect this here will be no different. This is an extra special celebration for us. It's our eighth BlizzCon together and this show is our biggest one yet.

A day before BlizzCon, Blizzard Entertainment trademarked the Overwatch logo.
During the Overwatch panel Q&A, Chris Metzen responded a fan there are plans to give fans some of the Overwatch backstory in some ways.
The logo trademark includes printed matter such as comic books, graphic novels, novels, and other media such as headgear, clothing and footwear.
Looks like we might be hearing soon of new Overwatch merchandise. So far the first one was on sale at BlizzCon online store: the Tracer statue (slated to ship on February 2015).
Blizzard Entertainment updated the Blizzard Careers Page to reflect the BlizzCon 2014 Unveiling of Overwatch, Goblins vs Gnomes, and StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void. Each game now has its own job opening section under the game title.
But that is not all the news behind the new updated page … or better said the Omitted News or lack thereof. Check out below the job posting quote.
So if Overwatch, Hearthstone: Goblins vs Gnomes, and Legacy of the Void were revealed at BlizzCon 2014 — then …
1. Why is there still a "Unannounced Games" job openings list?
2. Even more important and mind-blowing … Why is the Unannounced Job openings titled "Unannounced Games/Projects"? … still in plural.
I had written about this shortly before BlizzCon, and it is very curious and EXCITING that despite the fact that the page was updated and most of the job openings were moved to the new Overwatch job openings section, the Unannounced Games/Projects still exists and in plural.
We know the Next-Gen MMO Titan was cancelled permanently. What else is Blizzard Entertainment cooking in the oven that we still don't know about, and they are so openly "omitting" yet "flaunting" in plural? … hinting Blizzard is keeping a few cards close to its chest.
Check out the 3D Character Animator description: "Understanding of the Warcraft visual style, and a passion to push it to the next level". Hrmph? Warcraft IV? WoW X7.0? Something else related to Warcraft? Lot of unanswered questions in this no-news newsly news, eh? Food for thought.

I am two different people. What you see on the court is just natural for me. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I have always said 'C'mon' purely to fire myself up. Off the court, I am a lot shyer. I stick to my team and my family and people I trust.
The rules are changed now, there's not any way to build a team today. It's just how much money you want to spend. You could be the world champions and somebody else makes a key acquisition or two and you're through.
I think every national team has the same possibilities to win the World Cup.
The way a team plays as a whole determines its success.
I own a Ferrari race team, and we race all over North America.
My whole family is really tight-knit. We're a really good team.
People thought I was dead. But I wasn't. I was just directing 'The A-Team.'
I would never, ever, ever, ever say I have regretted the 'A-Team,' 'Magnum PI' or 'Murder She Wrote' or any of the others I did - and if you mention a television series, I'm sure I had a hand in it.
Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. We didn't even have a football team.
In every game, there's three teams out there. There's the two basketball teams and the team of officials. If the two teams are evenly matched, it can come down to number of possessions. If one out-of-bounds call goes the wrong way, that can be the difference.
On movies, you have a lot of stylists that get things too pretty. Everything gets steamed and ironed. It's just not the way we really behave.
A father-son relationship is strong, like no other teammates. You could be straightforward with one another.
A father-son relationship is strong, like no other teammates. You could be straightforward with one another.
Not all teammates tell the truth.
Movies are a team sport now, and I want to play singles.

A tradition born out of boredom in 2006, every christmas Ian and his extended family across the globe try and build an overly-complicated gingerbread structure. They have developed tea mug scaffolding, extra-strong royal icing, boiled sweet stained glass windows and gingerbread contained jello.
This began as a funny Christmas project in 2006 with family and turned into an annual tradition. The aim is to have fun and create something challenging whilst at the same time involving extended family around the globe.
Updates after Christmas.

@theMarket: The Market's Winter Storm
Stocks worldwide have experienced a downdraft since October. All the gains so painstakingly made thus far in 2018 have been erased. Volatility has battered markets with all the severity of a Nor'easter. Next year may prove to be a continuation of the same.
It is interesting that the culprits responsible for this change of heart in the markets have been around for just about all of the past year. Leading the list is Donald Trump. It was our president that decided to wage a trade war against the world. There has been little success in his battle thus far. The prospect of more of the same faces us well into the new year.
The Federal Reserve Bank can also take some blame. After over a decade of "easy money," the new Fed chief, Jerome Powell, (appointed by Donald Trump), has decided to raise interest rates and sell $50 billion in Treasury bonds every month for the foreseeable future. In his own way, Powell is draining the system that has been swamped with money for years.
As a result of both the continued threat of a trade war and rising interest rates, the economy is slowing. It has not lost enough steam to threaten a recession, but it has removed the wind from the market's sails, to say the least.
Let us not forget the controversy raging across the pond. The United Kingdom is having a devil of a time pulling off their exit from the European Community. On the one hand, the EU doesn't want to make it too easy for this to happen, lest other members might follow the UK's lead. At the same time, the electorate, as represented by the UK Parliament, are not happy with the deal Prime Minister Theresa May has struck with the EU.
Finally, oil prices have collapsed since October. While the price decline has been a boon to the consumer, it threatens an array of companies related to energy production. Employment, capital spending, earnings and worries about debt servicing have added to the worries of stock investors as a result. In the recent past (2014-2015), declining energy prices put a large dent in the overall earnings of the S&P 500 Index of companies and could do so again.
As if all of the above were not enough, we are now faced with two immediate threats within our own political system. The House will be turned over to the Democrats in less than a month. And, within that time frame, the long-awaited Mueller Investigation should also reveal its results. Neither event is expected to help the presidency of Donald Trump.
Investors have no idea what will happen as a result of these developments. Will Donald Trump be proven right in his almost-daily denial of any collusion in regard to the Russian investigations? What if he is exonerated in part, but his family members are not? Has he committed any impeachable offenses in other areas? If so, how will that affect his trade negotiations or any future legislation?
In summary, few, if any of these issues can be resolved any time soon. Therefore, readers should expect the markets to exhibit the same kind of volatility into January and maybe into the end of the first quarter of 2019. That is not to say that many of the issues could turn out to be positives for the markets.
The Fed, for example, is already talking about easing up on the interest rate hikes. China seems to be amenable to further trade negotiations over the next three months. And who knows, Trump could turn out to have been right all along in blaming the entire Mueller probe on the fake news media and Democrat machinations.
In the meantime, expect stocks to ride a continued wave of wild swings of one percent or more almost daily in either direction. Most of these moves are fueled by computer programs that indiscriminately buy and sell stocks, sectors and entire country markets in a blink of the eye. My advice is to ignore these moves and wait out the storm.

Refreshments - Coffee and Vodka (1913). Painted by Frédéric de Haenen Public domain
The story of vodka is one that's closely tied to cultural identity for several countries, but where did it originate, and how did it evolve over time? We'll talk a bit about how vodka is made, where it came from, and how it's expanded to a global market. We also discuss the darker side of vodka, and how alcoholism has damaged the very cultures that have embraced vodka as a recreational drink.

By Susan Peatfield
The way life can be these days, rushing from work, to school, to home – sitting on buses, trains and in traffic – it is easy to miss the changing of the seasons.
True, we might notice the rain and the cold, but the real differences that mark the moving forward of the year all too often pass us by. Ask yourself this: when was the last time I really looked at the trees on my way to work or on the school run? When did I last look at the flowers growing – or not – in my garden or in the local park? Do I know which of the vegetables in my supermarket belong to this time of the year?
Autumn is, as the poet says, the "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness". It is also a time of golden leaves and a rich harvest of good things to eat, drink and enjoy. But, blink and you miss it as we now find ourselves hurtling towards preparations for Christmas. One way to slow down the pace and to take stock of our surroundings is to bring some of the changes outside inside – into our homes.
Perhaps you have a memory as a child of a "Nature Table" at school? Or maybe you remember bringing home horse chestnuts "conkers" and pinecones from walks in the park? If these things gave you pleasure then, it is very likely they still have the power to bring you pleasure now. More than pleasure, in fact, more a real connection with the beauties of the natural world.
Look around your home for a suitable "space". It might be a shelf, or a small table, or even a ledge by your front door. All it needs to be is where you will SEE it – and it not to get on your nerves! (Not where it will get in the way or get knocked over.)
A small piece of fabric or paper in a season-appropriate shade could mark out the space chosen. The display depends on you – what you find and what you like. A typical autumn display might contain: brown, red and gold leaves from a range of trees; acorns, conkers and pinecones; a miniature pumpkin or squash, a small jar of asters-"Michaelmas Daisies" – or chrysanthemums; a bunch of grapes or some rosy apples. In other words, anything that brings the season's glow into your home – and life.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Retail stocks suffered their deepest sell-off since February in line with a broader market downturn Friday, with the sector's key indicator dropping in the final hour of trading.
Barely any retail stocks were left unscathed and every component of the S&P Retail Index $RLX turned to the downside, with most posting sharp falls.
When it all shook out, the index settled at 468.47, its lowest point in 10 months. For the week, the index is off 3.2%.
Department-store shares set the dismal pace.
Shares of Dillard Department Stores DDS, +1.10% dived 9.3% to close at $25.62, a 15-month low. Ahead of the bell, Barington Capital Group, an investment firm that represents 3.7% of Dillard's outstanding shares, sent a second letter to the company to request a meeting to talk about improving profitability. See full story.
Macy's Inc. M, -0.36% tumbled 6.3% to $33.70, its lowest close in more than a year.
Shares of Kohl's Corp. KSS, +1.89% lost 5.1% to $57,32 while shares of J.C. Penney Co. JCP, +0.00% gave up 4.5% to $65.73.
Nordstrom Inc. JWN, +2.32% traded off 4.4% and Saks Inc. SKS, -1.52% gave back 3.3% to $18.46. Sears Holdings SHLD, +0.45% lost 5% to $131.58, its lowest close since March 2006.
Shares of Costco Wholesale Corp. COST, +0.28% erased gains and ended down 35 cents at $60.49.
Off the index, Cabela's Inc. CAB, -0.14% was among the day's few advancers, finishing higher by 11% to $23. The stock surged as much as 20% at the open, playing off financial results that showed a 35% jump in second-quarter earnings, which surpassed analysts' average forecasts.
Late Thursday, the Sidney, Neb.-based sporting-goods retailer said it made $11.3 million, or 17 cents a share, compared with a profit of $8.4 million, or 13 cents, earned during the year-ago period. Revenue rose to $451.2 million from $387.3 million.
Cabela's also reaffirmed its full-year outlook calling for top- and bottom-line percentage growth rates in the mid-teens.
Talbots Inc. TLB shares dropped 6.7% to $20.85 after Citigroup analyst Kimberly Greenberger urged her clients to sell the stock, citing "loft valuation, continued earnings disappointments and lack of earnings visibility in the face of difficult (third-quarter) comparisons." Greenberger has a $16 price target on the shares.

Please contact me for teaching materials, history, and resources.
My teaching practices are informed by commitments to collective access and collaborative design. Here, 'collective access' refers to the idea that 'access' should be understood as an ongoing collective practice rather than (eg) the standard individual accommodations. (My understanding of collective access is strongly influenced by the work of Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, among other disability activists and theorists). 'Collaborative design' refers to the idea that all course members should have opportunities to influence the direction of a course, including content, structure, and evaluations. I believe this is necessary not only for accessible and accountable teaching, but also to bring academic norms out from behind the scenes, and open them up to conversation and change.
Recent Notes:
- Ongoing pedagogical research: I am continually updating my teaching theory and practice, with a particular emphasis on accounting for disability and accessibility (broadly construed). I will occasionally post resources to this page, including exercises or strategies, but am more regularly available by email to discuss accessibility and teaching.
- Disability and laptop bans (10/18): Some of my recent reflections on the absence of disability in pedagogical research appear in an interview conducted by Shelley Tremain. (Scroll down to the last third of the interview for this topic).
- Engagement self-reflections (09/18): Below this paragraph is a link to download a copy of the handout I used earlier this summer on "engagement" (a term I currently prefer to "participation") for a course I was instructing. This handout was accompanied by: (i) a discussion in class, where we collaborated on other ways that engagement might happen, how we can support each other, or what changes I as an instructor might need to make to my practices or expectations; (ii) a longer updated document based on our conversation that included examples and responses to some worries, strategies for writing and supporting claims, and links to relevant resources; and (iii) further conversations over the remainder of the course about what changes needed to be made to the assessment, or our course more generally. I used a similar assessment tool as a graduate teaching assistant for discussion sections in bioethics with positive feedback. I will be revising this for future teaching appointments to reflect different contexts and needs (e.g., this handout was designed for an accelerated upper-year summer course; and my next appointment will be running discussion sections for a full-year entry-level course).

Based on the theme 'Darkness'
They say it's just a lack of light, but darkness is a thing. It has weight, and it seeps in slowly, like inertia, or damp in the corner.
It's deep now, heavy as a stone, and she feels it like mortar that has shored up her cracks.
Laura once used to dream of gliding over great spaces, of the open plains of America and the ice sheets of Antarctica, but now she doesn't sleep, and the nights are too long.
Her father opens the door without knocking and walks in to wake her. Patches of sun hit him from between the curtains, and he smiles, like he's feeding off it.
"Time to get up," he says softly, and she recoils at his hand on her shoulder.
"Thomas," she says, her voice cracked but forceful. "Leave me alone."
She stopped calling him dad a long time ago. Ever since she was old enough to understand what was happening.
He leaves her and walks back out without another word.
She stirs, sits up, and watches the shadows on the wall. For a moment they transfix her, as if they might have come from the place where dreams are, where a piece of her always seems to live now. She knows they will move, given time, because the earth never stops turning, but now they look so still, paused. She feels suspended, just like the motes of dust in the sunlight.
No shadow without light.
Her own sun, she thinks, has gone out.
"Still not sleeping?" he asks her when she goes downstairs. He's making coffee. If he's in a good mood maybe he'll make her some, too.
She shakes her head. "No."
"You need some exercise," he says, with a hint of impatience. "Get outside in the fresh air!"
He's feeling good, so he doesn't see why she shouldn't be. He's always been that way. Anything else is outside of his grasp.
Later on, she'll go out for a walk, just to shut him up. He'll never understand what lives inside her, but she desperately wants him to see, to feel the worn and dizzying depth of what he created.
That night Laura sleeps a little, but there are still no great open spaces. She dreams instead of circling birds, of muddy hills in the rain and the waiting gallows. When she wakes it's dark, and the world is still. Its shadows on pause, the air hanging with a substance all of its own.
She rises, feeling the carpet cool beneath her feet as she moves across it, and it feels like she's walking on water. Downstairs, into the kitchen – the knife. Back up those creaking steps and into his room. He still has his own smell, after all these years, and it's pungent in her nostrils. She wants to press the tip of the blade to his throat, push it deep into the soft thread of arteries and airways, but she can't. What's inside is all hers, and she needs him to see.
She wanders instead to the bathroom, and sits down in the pristine bath, glowing white in the darkness like the enamel of a new tooth. Her heartbeat sounds in her ears, her stomach turns with dread, her breaths begin to shake, and with a gasp she pushes the knife into her own throat.
At first the pain is hot, searing her, and she gags under it as her blood oozes then gushes, pouring down her chest and fingers like a warm river. She feels nothing else, only her sun igniting, burning her from inside the cage of her bones.
At last, she thinks.
She begins to fade, and even the darkness becomes darker. Her blood slows, she can no longer hear her heart, and then her sun is risen, high into some other sky. She is left behind, without its light or warmth, left with nothing, and she feels her nothing like a weight, finally exposed. It feels cold, something like ancient ribs unearthed in old soil, cracked open.
It always feels heavy, facing down that gap inside. An ocean floor, where the sunlight can't reach. Lockets from long-dead mothers, old letters from gone lovers. That last ever kiss, the final memory you wish you'd held a little closer, the hesitation marks on your wrist. It seeps in, slowly filling up the cracks, and the world is full of cracks.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
Whether you've seen Kingsman: The Golden Circle yet or not, you can't have missed the clamour about the new boys (and girl) in town. In the sequel to Matthew Vaughn's hit original, Kingsman: The Secret Service, the American contingent, known as Statesman, breezes in, giving the very British Kingsman crew a run for their money. But which agency is cooler?
Yes, Kingsman has the upmarket clobber, the sophisticated weaponry and the Bond-style gadgets, but Statesman brings something new to the party. We pitted one against the other, with a little help from the experts, in order to determine CATEGORICALLY which team wins out in the cool stakes.
Our very scientific methods involved a Kingsman experience day, where we spent time supping whiskey, trying on clothes and chatting to supervising crew members, who demonstrated some of the sickest weapons and props from Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Using a point-scoring method, seen in the video above, only one team could emerge the winner — and it was Statesman all the way. Here's how:
Those Outfits
You think Kingsman, you think the suave Harry. You think expensive tailoring and accessories to match. And then there's Eggsy. There's no doubt he looks remarkably well in a suit but he's rough around the edges — that, of course, is all part of his charm. He's more faux-street, though, than cool per se; and that orange velvet jacket that takes centre stage in Kingsman: The Golden Circle is more tasteless than tasteful. It's certainly not cool — unless you're going for a kind of ironic-cool. Which Eggsy isn't.
Statesman, on the other hand, has Stetsons. Channing Tatum's Agent Tequila, Pedro Pascal's Whiskey and Jeff Bridges' Champagne in Stetsons, no less. Yeah, it's a no-brainer.
Superior Firepower
While Kingsman has a very impressive custom pistol in its armoury, the British team is seriously lacking when it comes to variety. Yes, the re-machined pistol may have an added underslung grenade launcher, as Armourer Nick Jeffries who worked on the movie tells us, as well as some serious attention to detail, but it's no match for the firepower of Statesman in terms of coolness.
There's Whiskey's revolver for a start. A copy of a Colt Single Action Army of the 1870s, it represents traditional American hardware, but with a modern kick. Tequila's rifle, meanwhile, is a "45-calibre Marlin lever-action," says Jeffries. "It has the look of a gun of the 1880s," he adds before praising it for its modern touches. And nobody spins a rifle quite like Channing Tatum.
Good Spirits
STATESMAN HAS ITS OWN WHISKEY. Enough said.
Gadgets, Gadgets, Gadgets
On the face of it, Kingsman looks to have some of the cooler gadgets. There's a briefcase that Visual Effects Supervisor Angus Bickerton makes a great case for being the best prop of all time, and a clipboard-cum-iPad that has a "kickass" blade concealed within it. But Kingsman loses points because they're thwarted by enemy Poppy's tech on several occasions.
And, well, Statesman has Alpha Gel. What's Alpha Gel? Concealed inside Agent Whiskey's Stetson, it's the lifesaving kit that's responsible for Harry not dying following the events of the first movie. And keeping Harry alive to fight another day has to be the coolest thing ever.
So there, you have it. It looks like Kingsman is going to have to up the ante for the third film if it's going to snatch back its cool crown.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle is available on Digital Download now and on 4k Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD from December 12, 2017.

Beets are versatile root vegetables that can be used in many different dishes. They are good roasted, boiled, pickled or sauteed, and taste delicious partnered with other root veggies such as onions and carrots. Beets are rugged vegetables that you can grow indoors, provided you have the space.
Get a big plastic tub that's at least 16 inches deep. Drill a few small holes in the bottom, every 5 inches or so. Inexpensive clothes hampers work well.
Put the tub on top of a drain tray, and pour in at least 16 inches of rich, loose potting soil.
Poke a 1 inch deep hole in the soil every inch until you have a row that goes across the tub. If you have room, make a second row about 1 foot from the first. Drop three beet seeds in each hole and cover them with dirt.
Water the beets every day and keep them in full sun. The soil should not be drenched, but should always stay moist.
Watch the beets until your seedlings grow more than 3 inches tall. Remove slow-growing or sickly-looking beets so that you have one seedling about every 3 inches, rather than three seedlings every inch.
Grow the beets until they are ready to harvest. Follow the instructions on the seed packet. Most beets take between 40 and 80 days to reach maturity.
Gently pull the beets out of the ground by their stalks. Twist or cut off the leaves and prepare the beets.

The communication's procedure
The Special Rapporteur seeks to receive credible and reliable information on alleged human rights violations relevant to her mandate from a variety of sources – including individuals, groups, DPOs, NGOs, civil society, Governments, United Nations agencies and bodies, and intergovernmental organizations – with a view to assess and bring individual cases, situations of concern, and/or trends and patterns of alleged violations, to the attention of the State concerned and, at a later stage, to the international community, to ensure the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities.
If the Special Rapporteur decides to act on the information received, she will then transmit a letter to the relevant State raising concerns and seeking clarification on the alleged violations and requesting a reply with comments and observations within a specific timeframe.
Communications sent by the Special Rapporteur and State replies received remain confidential until they are published in the Communications Reports submitted before each regular session of the Human Rights Council (in March, June and September). In certain situations, including those of grave concern, the Special Rapporteur may issue a public statement earlier.
Protection of victims and sources
It is important to note that neither the Special Rapporteur nor the United Nations have the means to ensure the safety of persons on whose behalf they may intervene.
According to the established procedure, the names of alleged victims are included in communications sent to States to enable the competent authorities to investigate the alleged violations and/or take appropriate preventive/corrective actions.

2012 - Week 14 vs Baltimore Ravens
Blognosticator - Jimbo
I�m here to talk to you today about breeding. No, not THAT kind of breeding. I�m talking about the kind of breeding we haven�t seen around these parts in a long time. The old-fashioned, Bible �begettin�� type of breeding. That�s right brothers and sisters, I�m talking about WINNING. You remember winning, right? No, not THAT type of winning . I mean the winning we were once used to, the �winning begets winning� of George Allen, and Joe Gibbs, and �Four and Oh or we don�t go�.
Our beloved boys in B&G have just completed the hallowed �Divisional Trifecta�, beating each NFC East foe in a three week span. I couldn�t tell you the last time the Skins accomplished that feat, although I�m guessing the St. Louis Cardinals were still in our division at the time.
Just how big was that win over those "mother******* Giants" on Monday Night? I was prepared to write about my hatred of Baltimore and how it was going to be next to impossible to beat the Ravens, a team that just doesn�t lose two games in a row and hasn�t done so since weeks 4 � 6 of the 2009 season.
I was going to talk about how we wouldn�t be able to run against the Ravens because that defense is almost a mirror image of the Pittsburgh Steelers when it comes to stopping the run and you know how the Steelers game turned out.
I was going to talk about how we always seem to turn the ball over against the Ravens and how Ed Reed or somebody else on defense tends to make a play and score a defensive TD against us, or how we weren�t going to be able to stop Ray Rice because, well, nobody really stops Ray Rice.
But that was before �The Breeding�. The breeding of winning. And winning breeds winning.
If breeding isn�t enough to get you excited, how about these stats: The Ravens "vaunted" defense is currently ranked 25th and is giving up a whopping 372.3 YPG, including 125.8 rushing, while the Skins went into the Monday Night game averaging 163.5 rushing yards and put up over 200 on the Giants. Their offense is currently ranked 19th while the Skins are ranked 7th. Despite their reputation, AND their record, this Ravens defense is just not that scary outside of Baltimore.
I�m well aware that the Ravens have a lot of weapons on offense and all QB Joe Flacco needs to do is get the ball into their hands. But I�m also aware that the four games they�ve won on the road, three were by a FG. One was in OT against San Diego and one was a 9-6 victory over Da Chiefs. Yeah, the third was against the Steelers IN Pittsburgh but they're division opponants - where all bets go out the window. Their other road win was a 10 point victory over Cleveland after trailing in the 4th quarter against rookie QB Brandon Weedon. Our rookie QB is just a little bit better and he doesn�t turn the ball over as often.
For those of you worried about a letdown, don�t be. One-legged London Fletcher won�t allow it. The newly anointed Captain, Robert Griffin III, won�t allow it. Alfred �The Beast� Morris won�t allow it.
As RG3 said during his post-game ESPN interview, �We know that our backs are against the wall. And even though we won tonight, our backs are still against the wall�. Does that sound like a guy and a team who are going to let down? Not a chance.
I�m not saying this game won�t be an old fashioned Donnybrook, because I�m fairly certain it will be, but I also think it will be another �playoff atmosphere� game. FedEx Field was absolutely ROCKING Monday night and I expect it to be rocking against the Ravens as well. Playing at home didn�t seem to be much of an advantage when we were 3-6 but now that we�re eyeing the playoffs, and the entire nation is eyeing RG3, everyone wants a piece of this newfound pie. Playing at home is a HUGE advantage this week. Sure, a few of those Baltimorons will find their way in. They always do but this time playing in FedEx Field will not even remotely resemble a home game for the Ravens and we all know how well Joe Flacco performs on the road. It won�t matter that it�s only 50 miles away, or that Joe Flacco is no Eli Manning.
Prediction: MORE BREEDING. Redskins 27, Ravens 24.

The obligation to use Indonesian Language in transnational contracts has got a public attention after the arising of the case in a cassation level between Nine AM Ltd as the petitioner on appeal vs PT Bangun Karya Pratama as the respondent of appeal. The case has been decided by the Supreme Court under the Decision number 601 K/PDT/2015 dated 31st of August 2015. This decision also gives meaning that the Supreme Court affirms the decision by the DKI Jakarta High Court Number: 48/PDT/2014/PT.DKI dated 7th of May 2014, whereas the three of the court decision stating that the Contract made between Nine AM Ltd and PT Bangun Karya Pratama is legally null and void, due to the violation of the obligations to use the Indonesian Language in any agreement which regulated under Article 31 Paragraph 1 Law Number 24 of 2009 concerning National Flag, Language, Emblem and Anthem (Language Law), such contract only made in English language, without the Indonesian language versionbeing made.
Under the Decision of Supreme Court Number 601 K/PDT/2015 dated 31st of August 2015 we can see that the Supreme Court is strengthening the existence of Indonesian Language in a contract made between any foreign party with Indonesian party, which means this Decision also confirming the obligations to use Indonesian language in an agreement, and any agreement that being made in a foreign language from the beginning must also be written in Indonesian language.
This Decision of Supreme Court Number 601 K/PDT/2015 dated 31st of August 2015 also turning down the Letter issued by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia Number M.Hh.Um.01.01-35 Year 2009 regarding Clarification for Implication and Implementation of Law Number 24 of 2009, which specifies that:
- A signing of a private commercial agreement in English without accompanied by Indonesian language version will not violate the requirements as mentioned in Law Number 24/2009, therefore that agreement shall be valid and not legally null and void or non-cancellable;
- The implementation of obligation as mentioned Article 31 of the Law shall be pending to the issuance of Presidential Regulation;
- The obligation under the Law is not retroactive so that the agreements that were being made before the promulgation of such Presidential Regulations are not required to be adjusted or adjusting the usage of Indonesian language as determined in such Presidential Regulation;
- In relation to the use of language, basically the parties is free to state which language they will use in the contract and if the Presidential Regulations later determined that the parties must use dual language, then the parties will be bound by such obligation to use dual language, however it does not prevent the parties to choose which language to be used if there is any difference in the interpretation of any words or phrases in such agreement.
The turning down of the letter by the judges is due to none of the authority that explicitly stated that the Ministry of Law and Human Rights can interpret the provisions of Law, so that the Letter issued by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights may only be used as reference by the concerned party and it is not binding to the judges in making decision on the dispute of the obligation to use the Indonesian language.
Thus, based on the Decision of Supreme Court Number 601 K/PDT/2015 dated 31st of August 2015, we can see that the usage of Indonesian language in any contract made by the foreign party and Indonesian party that is using Indonesian law as its choice of law is obligatory.
Therefore, until now the Indonesian Language must be used in a memorandum of understanding or agreement involving State institution, agencies of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, Indonesian private institutions or individuals of Indonesian nationals, and if such memorandum of understanding or agreement is involving foreign parties then it also be written in the national language of the foreign parties or in English language.

Mary G. Montgomery's Sonya Scott named state's Outstanding High School Science Teacher of the Year
Sonya Scott of Mary G. Montgomery High School has been named the Outstanding High School Science Teacher of the Year by the Alabama Science Teachers Association.
"To have other people from all over the state review my application, teaching philosophy, and recommendations and then finally declare me the Outstanding High School Science Teacher of the Year, it is truly an honor and is quite overwhelming," Scott said of the honor. "Like most teachers, I spend many, many hours of my personal time preparing, grading, evaluating, and self-assessing so my students can be successful in my classroom. Often teachers are not recognized for their dedication and willingness to go beyond the bare minimum, so my heart is filled with joy and gratitude for receiving an award like this."
Scott, who also serves as a sponsor for BEST robotics, Scholars' Bowl and SECME, said she was particularly touched by a letter of recommendation written by one of her former students, Daniel Cook, now a student at Spring Hill College.
Stephanie LeGrone, MCPSS science supervisor, said Scott's ability to engage with her students is evident as soon as one walks into her classroom.
"Ms. Scott is consistently focusing on hands-on, inquiry based instruction that dives deep into the standards, not just hovering at the surface," LeGrone said. "Her students leave her knowing chemistry and professors at the local colleges have also commented how her students are truly prepared for their class. Not only does Ms. Scott go above and beyond in the classroom as a teacher, she also cares deeply for her students and helps in several ways throughout the school.
"Ms. Scott is truly deserving as ASTA's Outstanding High School Teacher of the Year."

Steel Ladder Frame
GS02 frame is designed to look as a chassis of a real car frame and the material of the frame is made of high strength steel, C-channel side rail and is with hex wrench bolted with cross members, which make it resistant to twisting or wraping.
Also, steel parts are black powder coated finish to prevent rust.
Adjustable Wheelbase
GS02 chassis allows three types of easy adjustment of wheelbase convert kit to use any type of 300, 313 and 324mm custom bodies.
(optioonal link kits are sold separately)
Front Weight Balance
BOM's weight balance designed to be placed on the front of the car.
This will increase the tire traction to the front wheel to provide better crawling on high tilt anglerocks and better driving performance when hill climbing and this will help minimising the vehicle's rolling over when climbing.
Chassis Mounted Servo System with Panhard Bar
BOM's steering system has a steering servo on the frame just like a 1:1 real car.
It is designed to make it as close to the zero bump steer so bump steer movement does not appear by front wheel suspension movements.
So we ended up with maximizing the steering performance of the vehicle.
In addition the Panhard-bar is designed to avoid interference with nearby parts, so that the front suspension and shocks can move freely without any loss.
Waterproof Receiver Box
The waterproof receiver box protects the receiver from water, mud or snow.
Battery Tray
The battery can be easily replaced and can accomodate up to 7,600mAh 2-cell Lipo batteries or 5,000mAh 3-cell Lipo batteries, (7,600mAh 2-cell Lipo or 5,000mAh 3-cell Lipo).
Dust Proof Electronics Box
It protects electronic equipment such as winch controllers and BEC, which are often used for scale trucks from foreign substances.
Skid Plate
The skid plate protects the transmission and other critical components by the flat surface that allows the BOM to slip and ride on rocks and other obstacles easily.
The drive lines of the front and rear axles are arranged in straight line to reduce the fatigues stress of the universal shaft and reduce the loss of driving power by providing efficient driving lines.
Torque Twist Reduce Transmission
The TTR transmission is designed to drive in a stable position without putting the balalnce of power transmitted to the axle.
The front and rear universal shafts based on the transmitter each rotates clockwise and counterclockwise, this compensates for the forces acting on the opposite rotational forces due to the action (torque) and reaction (reverse torque) because this vehicle can run in asuper stable condition.
Dual Slipper Clutch
The slipper pads are designed to hold the spur gears evenly to allow more precise settings.
Hardened Carbon Steel Universal Joints
The front and rear universal shafts of the steel joints provides a smooth and stable power train.
The kit aslo includes the spare parts that allow you to adjust the length of the universal shaft.

We do two things: we provide a wide range of sheet metal finishing product for all types of volume and budgets to meet your application and we serve a real tiny niche of the market with 3 specialty forming products. We work hard to simplify the process, reduce the investment, improve reliability + ease of use and cost of ownership. We aim to find the correct technology for you.
Whether for a job shop or a specialty OEM, we provide machines you need to finish your edges. We focus on deslagging, deburring, edge breaking, edge rounding, laser oxide removal and beveling in flat blanks and tube. We largely leave surface graining to companies offering wide belt sanders.
We do provide surface graining with our machines that dress welded features in 3 dimensional parts and then re-finish the surfaces to the original material grain. We also offer tube graining and polishing equipment.
On the forming side we deliver programmable precision roll bending and corner forming machines and, as of recently, the latest parts leveling technology to improve your quality in more ways than just flat parts.
We are pleased to offer you a solution offered by GECAM of Italy to efficiently deburr, edge round and grain flat sheet stock.

The control is via touch screen. The first grinding head has an upgrade in motor power to15kW and both wide belt grinding heads have frequency inverter driven variable surface speeds to keep temperature in check while prcessing a slower feed rates for maximum edge rounding.
The machine has an list price of $111,600 and is offered at $ 75,000 for orders placed at the exhibition. This is an incredible offer for a machine which features 53" working width, 3 heads of which one is the new Gecam 20 rotary brush head for heavy duty edge rounding and a nukmber of other special options.
Please come and talk to us at our booth. Dealer inquiries are welcome.
KOHLER presents the innovatinve part leveling machine that has comprehensively upgraded its proven Peak Performer part leveling machine to provide a significant boost to the leveling capacity of the machine. Assuming the yield strength of the material is unchanged, the machine can now level to the degree of precision sheets up to 50 % thicker than before.
As a leading global manufacturer of leveling solutions for the metalworking industry, KOHLER Maschinenbau GmbH frequently stuns the sector with its customer-focused innovations, the latest of which is an enhancement to its batch-produced Peak Performer part leveling machine. Thanks to the high-performance direct drives, the machine can handle material thicknesses of up to 25 mm. Besides its extended working range, the machine impresses a pioneering innovation in the marketplace with its rotary leveling rollers and a reworked drive concept.
The Peak Performer part leveling machine works completely without hydraulics and combines highest precision with maximum efficiency as well as environmental compatibility. It is also far ahead in terms of energy efficient: The model range from 80P onwards stands out from the crowd with energy consumption up to 75 % lower than that of conventional machines.

MetalFinish commenced a line of tube and profile end deburring machines for profiles up to 6.25". Tube ends can be 90° or angled up to 45°. Burrs resulting from saw or laser cuts are removed at a low consumable cost of under $3 per hour in 2-6 seconds per end by simply inserting the tube end into the machine and creating light pressure against the wire wheel. The first three units are being delivered to customers in October. MetalFinish plans to hold these machines in inventory for a quick delivery. To see more information click here.
MetalFinish just delivered the first 3 Kuhlmeyer TBS strokesanders with ergonomic height adjustment. Working height or better belt height is now adjustable from 38" above ground to 50" above ground. This increases the under the belt capacity when needed but most importantly accomodates operators between 5'2' and 6'4' tall with ideal working conditions. These particular machines where also equipped with auto tool and auto table so that workers do not have to repeat arm movement when graining surfaces. Only scratch removal, weld dressing and edge forming is done manually. We would call this the worlds first truly ergonomic stroke sander.

DM1100 DC deburrs and rounds edges on inside and outside contours of thick steel plate mainly cut by plasma or oxyfuel. DM1100 DC has a large deburring drum for heavy dross and slag removal and a double cross belt which facilitates edge rounding giving you soft, clean and paintable edges.
The drum oscillates and floates to cope with material distortion and thickness tolerances. A 24" magnetic track holds small parts so they can also be cleaned with ease.
The machine is executed in a very heavy duty frame. the drum is a direct derivative of the deburring drums formerly used by the ERNST company to remove heavy slag with a proven 40 year track record. Improvements have been made to the mounting and the bearing supports of the drum to ease maintenance and reduce service intervalls.
A universal machine for medium and heavy duty production, suitable for most applications. The machine now can be programmed with a simple control to make irregular shapes easily.

Came across a snippet about this KLH 20+ stereo in the mid-century modernist's archives ... belongs to stewf. We just love the depth of design that went into hi-fi in the 60's and 70's ... all fell apart when clean matte black washed in in the 80's.
The usual (and ever-reliable) Garrard turntable, landscape mounted speakers ... and awesome stem bases - oh yeah! If anybody has one of these they don't want, give us a call, eh?
Sadly, unless we decide to become record-player 'collectors', we have to hold back. So we have a couple of vintage PYE players in our lives, and have to live with the idea of selling any others that we are lucky enough to have pass thru our lives ... will have to take some pics to share.
