If you haven't experienced the coast of Maine in the fall, then you are missing out! The sounds, the colors, the smells and especially the tastes are an absolute feast for the senses. And it makes for some great photography too!! Join us on a PHOTO-feast throughout the middle portion of the Maine Coast -- or 'Down East' as the locals might say.
We start this adventure in Bar Harbor, Maine - Home to beautiful Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, and a quaint seaside town - it encompasses everything Maine has to offer from mountains to the sea. Then the workshop ends up in Camden, commonly referred to as the "Jewel of the Maine Coast," and for good reason due to its amazing harbor views, shopping and dining.
You will get an exciting variety on this workshop. From picturesque little towns to working harbors and jagged coasts to serene colorful forests - we will shoot it all!
**Cancellation Policy - Understand that on our longer trips where most people have to make extensive travel plans in order to join us, our cancellation policy is slightly more strict. On this workshop, the last day for you to cancel for a refund is August 1, 2020. If you cancel before this date you will receive your payment back minus a $50 transaction fee. After this date, there will be no refunds unless we can fill your position with someone from the wait list. For this reason WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO PURCHASE TRIP INSURANCE TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR INVESTMENT.
Lodging: We will use TWO Hotels

Car Rental:
Each participant is responsible for their transportation to, from and during the workshop. Many people choose to go in together on a car rental to save money. We generally require some carpooling during the workshop anyway, so you may want to consider sharing the cost with someone else.
Several car rental companies exist at each of the above airports.
For This Workshop
Weather - This workshop could take you through many shooting environments, so be prepared for whatever the weather may bring. Dress in layers with comfortable shoes with good tread. Be sure to have rain gear for you and your camera and lots of warm clothing for early morning shoots. Hats, gloves, scarves and a wind proof coat will be necessary on this trip.
Conditions - This workshop isn't one of our more difficult workshops, physically speaking. With that said, there will be some walking on uneven and possibly wet surfaces and climbing around on coastal rocks. Much of the shooting will be done near the car or walking around flat bays.
Accessories - We do not 'require' that you purchase any specific equipment for this workshop. With that said, you REALLY need a polarizer for EVERY lens. If you do not wish to purchase a polarizer for each lens, then consider purchasing one for your largest lens opening and then purchasing step down ring adapters to fit it to your other lenses. If you are not familiar with a polarizer and have questions, let us know. We will be happy to help.
Also, you will need a tripod on this trip. Please let us know if you have any questions about tripods.

Megan Kelley Hall and Carrie Jones have collected author stories, essays and poems with a common theme: bullying. The result is not just this book, but an online project, which you can find on their website Dear Bully and on Facebook. As a statement against bullying this book is a definite winner: respected YA writers (Alyson Noel, Lauren Kate, A.S. King, R.L. Stine, Lauren Oliver…) telling their own stories of being bullied, bullying others themselves, or just letting it happen, shows that bullying was and is a much bigger problem for growing teens than it may look for the adults in their lives. As such, this book can be a great help for teens who are being bullied, if only as a token that "no, you are not alone" and "yes, it gets better".
On the other hand, you have to be honest and say that from a literary point of view, this collection of stories is flawed… despite the fact that that wasn't the first intention of the editors and writers here. Though there is a common theme, the literary quality is only scattered throughout with only a handful of memorable texts (R.L. Stine, Carolyn Mackler, Lauren Oliver, Cecil Castellucci). At its worst, the stories definitely get repetitive, and maybe even too same-ish, which is not something the topic should allow for, but the book does manage to end on a high note: the letter Carolyn Mackler received from a girl after she had read her book The Earth, My Butt and Other Big Round Things (which in itself is one of the greatest girl empowering books!), and Mackler's reply to this letter.
There is safety and comfort in numbers, is what the overall message here seems to be: we too got through it, and so will you. Here is our statement and support to you. And though this may be true, for the many kids experiencing bullying on a daily basis right now, it's a bit of a mute argument. But still, there is much to admire here and the fact that so many authors showed their more vulnerable side, either as bully or the one being bullied is the added bonus.

Today was one of those days where PAW prevents me doing something else I love, although of course I could timetable days off. It was the day of Swanage Sea Rowing Club's annual regatta. I went down to Swanage early from a misty garden, the sun was bright and the day looked promising for rowing.
I visited Java independent coffee house – our personal favourite and took time to have a cappuccino and a chat. Ciaron the proprietor displays art including a piece of mine. Then it was back to the seafront and taking photos of the gigs as they were placed on the beach.
By 9.30 it was time to drive home and open the studio. My first task today – to draw some rowing based pictures. I did two based on the gigs pre regatta. I sold one at the end of the regatta to a friend who rows and likes my artwork.
I had a number of visitors and some dogs too. Not much in the way of sales. The weather varied from sunny to misty several times.
At the end of the afternoon I went down in time to see the prizes being awarded and stayed to help with the clearing up after the regatta.
Tomorrow a few friends have said they will / might visit, I hope there will be less mist but time will tell. Today marked the halfway point for PAW. I have exceeded the amount I earnt last year already, I really wasn't sure that this would happen. 140 visitors have been but the number of dogs visiting is much lower presently.
Thanks for reading.

Jose Altuve eager to return to Astros' lineup Tuesday night
SEATTLE — Crouched inside his spacious locker at Safeco Field, Jose Altuve reached for a baseball he was proud to showcase for a small group of reporters. The single he hit in Tacoma on Sunday afternoon was the first Class AAA hit of the 28-year-old second baseman's professional career.
"He was so proud of it. He was giddy," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "They wrote on it. I hadn't even thought that he had never played in Triple-A before. He'd never been hurt before, never been on the DL, and never played in Triple-A. He got to check a lot of boxes."
The ball was quickly thrown to the dugout and authenticated.
"I got two first hits this year — All-Star (Game) and Triple-A," Altuve said with a grin. "So I'm really proud."
Altuve kept it by his side during a three-minute interview at Safeco Field. A Fresno Grizzlies hat sat on the second shelf of his locker, just below Astros regalia he will, at long last, don for a meaningful game.
The six-time All-Star and reigning American League MVP is slated to be activated prior to Tuesday's game against the Mariners, ending the first trip to the disabled list of his eight-year major league career — a 21-game absence that derailed a humming Houston offense and enveloped the often joyous Altuve with uncertainty.
"When he got hurt, I think he was scared," Hinch said Monday. "He didn't know what it meant and the severity of it or when he was going to feel better. This is a guy who has never really had a problem. … I think that he was in uncharted territory. He didn't know how to feel or what to think, and he was very nervous. Rightfully so."
Altuve spoke to reporters on Monday with more levity than at any point since the right knee injury forced him from the field. Often, questions of his health or prognosis were met with uneasiness and incomplete answers.
Monday, he was more direct. He joshed one inquirer who wondered what Altuve would do during Houston's pregame work.
"Dinner," Altuve deadpanned, before unleashing a wry smile. "I'm going to hit, catch ground balls. A normal day with the boys."
Altuve collected a hit in three at-bats and was also hit by a pitch on Sunday with Class AAA Fresno. He ran from first base to third base on a base hit and, another time, was forced to make a hard turn at first base.
A blooping single by a Tacoma hitter required Altuve to run from his position at second base. Ground balls hit to him were fielded without issue.
"Now that he's been able to build back a little confidence, get some soreness out, go play a game and feel good about his change of direction on defense and offense, I think he's a lot more confident that we're going to be OK," Hinch said.
The lineup to which he will return may inherit the same feeling.
Altuve was placed on the disabled list July 25. Since then, the Astros produced a .222 batting average — the lowest of all major league teams. Their .289 on-base percentage was higher than only the tanking Miami Marlins. The Astros entered Monday's game 8-12 during his absence.
Should Altuve, George Springer and Carlos Correa all start against Mariners righty Mike Leake, it will be the first time since June 25 the Astros deploy a lineup with their three cornerstones. Springer's sudden left leg soreness on Monday put that possibility in peril.
Altuve completed pregame work on Monday without noticeable issue. His return is direly needed to complete a playoff push and hold off two surging American League West adversaries.
"I'm really excited," Altuve said. "This is a great team. You guys know I love every single part of this team and the way they play. We're in first place, and most likely, we're going to go the playoffs. I have a lot of confidence in my teammates, and I want to be just part of this."

From the Board - Our Strategic Direction
Our Strategic Direction
(as published in Kaleidoscope magazine - issue 61)
One of the Board's key functions is to evaluate and determine Kristin's strategic direction in the short, medium and long-term future.
Each year the Board and the Senior Management Team (comprising the Executive Principal, the Principals and the Finance Director) carry out a strategic planning exercise. The fast pace of change in these times makes foreseeing beyond the medium term extremely difficult so, increasingly, the Board's focus has been on ensuring that it has the skills and networks to sense what lies ahead and to adjust the strategic direction to respond to changing circumstances.
The Strategic Planning Workshop this year will be particularly important. The change in Executive Principal represents an opportunity for the Board and the Senior Management Team to take a fresh look at the way we do things at Kristin, to evaluate whether we are still following best practice and to ensure the school's values and practices are aligned.
As preparation for this process, we have commissioned external consultants to carry out research to 'take the temperature' of our stakeholder groups. Thank you to everyone who has participated in our recent surveys and focus groups. The information we have gathered will inform the strategic thinking that we undertake.
Capital Works Programme
The current economic conditions, while still a little volatile, are nonetheless the most benign they have been since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) began in 2007. While Kristin weathered the GFC storm well, its roll was, nonetheless, impacted. This, in turn, had an effect on Kristin's capital works development programme.
When the Building Greatness programme was launched prior to the GFC, it contained two significant projects – the Hockey Turf and the Aquatic Centre. The Hockey Turf has been completed. The Aquatic Centre remains on the Board's capital works programme since the case for such a facility is sound from an educational point of view.
Always, the construction of the Aquatic Centre was going to be dependent on the economic conditions being favourable so that the project was financially prudent. In 2007 the estimated cost of the Aquatic Centre ($7.0m) was to be funded by a mix of bank borrowing ($4.0m) and fundraising ($3.0m). The project assumed that the average roll of the school prior to 2007 (1,650) would continue and that the debt associated with the project would be repaid aggressively within 10 years.
Sensing the impact the GFC would have on the prevailing economic conditions (including on the average school roll), the Board refocused its priorities to prudent cost containment and debt repayment. We believe that this was the best strategy for Kristin to adopt.
Since 2007 Kristin has reduced its long-term debt by more than $5.0m. Priority was given to capital works projects which were necessary to maintain the value of the school's educational facilities and to improve access to and from the school as part of Auckland Transport's project to widen Albany Highway and signalise the Rosedale Road intersection.
Another capital development priority was to pursue projects which make the most of the school's assets to increase and diversify Kristin's sources of income. The new Medical Centre is such a project, which now provides an income stream independent of school fees. In a similar vein, the Board is very excited by the proposed development of an Early Childhood Centre, to be known as 'Little Doves'. While the project will require further refinement before it is signed off, the business case for the centre is compelling. It will provide a significant income stream and will provide another entry point for students into the school.
Funding development by means of voluntary donations from the Kristin community will remain a necessary and integral part of our development strategy.
With the worst of the GFC behind us and a new Executive Principal leading the school, the Board is excited by the prospect of the innovation and change which this strategic planning process represents. We hope you share our enthusiasm and look forward to providing the community with feedback on the outcome achieved.

Racing in Green Fleet
Green Fleet regattas are designed to introduce racing in a welcoming, fun environment. The Maine Interclub Racing Circuit (MIRC) hosts a Green Fleet regatta each Wednesday at a different club in Southern Maine. MIRCs are wonderful opportunities for junior sailors to test the waters at a new venue. Other larger regattas often include a separate Green Fleet starting line.
Racing in Championship Fleet
After participating in Green Fleet regattas for a season or two, you are no longer considered "novice" and are invited to move up to the Championship Fleet. The different age classes are indicated by different colors: skippers who are 10 or under sail in the White Fleet; skippers who are 11 and 12 sail in the Blue Fleet; and skippers who are 13, 14, or 15 sail in the Red Fleet. The determining date is the skipper's age on the first day of the regatta. PYC RWB (Red-White-Blue) sailors travel throughout the Northeast for Championship regattas.
Regatta Registration
MIRC regattas are free to attend, and the host club provides the boats. At Championship regattas, teams are required to bring their own boats and coach boats. Online registration forms are posted on Regattaman.com. Regatta registration fees range from $50-$100 dollars/ regatta — and they are separate from the PYC Jr. Sailing Program fee.

If you're not eating halloumi you're not living right. It's salty and chewy with a crisp, toasted outer layer, which makes it impossible not to love
In this recipe, it's baked into golden layers and crumbled it over a slightly sweet quinoa salad. It's a deliciously nutty source of starch, protein and fibre and pairs really well with the crunch of the pomegranate seeds and pine nuts.
• 170g quinoa, rinsed thoroughly
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 250g halloumi
• 1 small red onion, peeled and finely sliced
• 50g raisins
• 50g pine nuts, lightly toasted
• a large handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped
• a large handful pomegranate seeds
For the lime-pomegranate dressing:
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• a large pinch salt
1 Put the quinoa in a medium, lidded pot with 500 ml boiling water and the salt. Cook over a medium heat for 15 minutes until all the water has been absorbed.
2 Remove from the heat, fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
3 While the quinoa cooks, slice the halloumi into roughly 5 mm thick slices and place on a foil-lined baking tray.
4 Cook under the grill for 3–4 minutes, until golden. Flip over the cheese and scatter the sliced red onion onto the tray. Grill again until the other side of the cheese is golden.
5 Remove the cheese from the grill and let it cool before breaking it into smaller pieces. Allow the onions to cook for a few minutes longer.
6 Shake the dressing ingredients together in a lidded jar until emulsified. Stir half of the dressing into the quinoa along with the onions, raisins, pine nuts and coriander.
7 Transfer to a platter. Scatter the halloumi and pomegranate seeds over, then drizzle the rest of the dressing over and serve.

Making Climbing Stairs Fun!
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
Can making good things fun actually motivate positive behaviors? This experiment seems to have worked.
How often do you heed the advice, "Take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator and feel better"? Woefully few people actually follow that advice. Would more climb the stairs if it was more fun? Enjoy this short video of an experiment in Europe!
PositiveTip: Even if it is not as fun as this video, choose to climb the stairs as often as you can!

Got Bed Bugs? Bedbugger Forums » General Topics
bites reappear after exercise(9 posts)
Bites appear is the exact same spots where I got bed bug bites before. This often happens after I exercise. Is it possible that old bites "reappear" due to my body heat or are these new bites? I'm positive the bites are in the same spots as before because I have hyperpigmentation (skin darkens where I get bitten).
Yes, as you body gets overheated the immune system kicks back in and old bites can and will sometimes flare up again. It can also happen if you are exposed to high levels of environmental pollution.
Hope that clarifies.
David Cain
Bed Bugs LimitedI am happy to answer questions in public but will not reply to message sent directly or via my company / social media. I am here to help everyone and not just one case at a time.
In accordance with the AUP and FTC I openly disclose my vested interest in Passive Monitors as the inventor and patent holder. Since 2009 they have become an integral part in how we resolve bed bug infestations. I also have a professional relationship with PackTite in that they distribute my product under their own branding. I do not however receive any financial remuneration for any comments I make about pro
Are you referring to sprays and dust as "environmental pollution"?
When exactly will this flaring stop? I got the bites this summer and 6 months later, it still flares up whenever I exercise. Is this something that will go away on its own?
Bumping this up - I'd like to know the answer to this too!
I think it was Lou who quoted a period of 9 months, but I could be spastically remembering it wrong.
My experience was I moved out in October 2011 and had reactions until April/May of this year.
Wow - this is crazy. I like to stay active - should I be avoiding heavy workouts right now?
Were these questions ever answered? I moved out at the end of March and have seen no signs of the little bastards since, aside from bite marks on my right hand that keep flaring up in the exact same spot.
Sorry missed it.
I specifically mean environmental pollutants like car exhaust or that aviation fuel smell you always get at an airport. I have also seen cases where factory environments and shoe shops have produced strong reactions to occur or reoccur.
It is not to say that this will always happen, it is to report that it can happen. If you find that after exercising or using the hot tub or sauna old bites reappear it may be that you want to moderate such activities for a while or go extra heavy with the moisturizer.
I have recently found that after sun treatment with lots of aloe vera and a mild local anesthetic (OTC type products) work exceptionally well for intense bedbug bites. Yes I use my weekly feeding sessions for experimentation and as long as your proceed with caution and seek appropriate medical advice I see no reason why something that works on 500+ bites in a 2 inch circle will not help others with less severe bites. I am however not a Doctor and can not give medical advice.
As for when someones reaction will return to normal we just don't have enough data to be able to comment accurately. Therefore any input you can give is likely to be the best out there so don't forget to come back and update this at some stage.

Custom home by Greenmark Builders tops the list in public vote
Housing Design Awards: People's Choice blends traditional and modern
The people have spoken. Their pronouncement: Give us a home that's a bit traditional but also a tad modern.
It's a fine line that Greenmark Builders of Greely has navigated successfully with its Cedarlakes custom home, the handsome, 2,800-square-foot winner of this year's People's Choice Award at the annual Housing Design Awards sponsored by the Greater Ottawa Home Builders' Association (GOHBA).
Almost 1,000 folks voted for the People's Choice Award this year, casting a ballot for their favourite finalist in the prestigious design competition. For the first time, voting for the award was available online as well as at the recent Ottawa Fall Home Show.
Greenmark's winning entry — a four-bedroom, family oriented home that marries traditional features such as exterior stone columns and gables to interior touches like a modern elongated fireplace in the great room — also took top honours in the custom home 2,401 to 3,500 square feet category. As well, Greenmark shared top honours with Kitchen Craft Cabinetry in the renovation under $60,000 category.
"Woo!" shouted an elated Mark Kranenburg, president of Greenmark, giving a quick fist pump as he approached the stage to accept the People's Choice prize, the final award of the evening.
The award, he said in a subsequent interview, "shows that the people still want to see traditional elements in a home along with the modern elements."
Kranenburg, along with Caswell Custom Home Design of Smiths Falls, designed the home for a young family — specifically, his own. He and his wife wanted sleek, modern touches but not a home that was all glass and steel. So the bright, white kitchen, for example, boasts both Shaker cabinets and stainless-steel appliances. A granite-topped island anchors the kitchen while, above, an eight-piece crown moulding maintains the rustic/traditional theme.
Elsewhere, that fireplace in the great room features a contemporary, flat-finish natural stone surround that soars to the classic coffered ceiling dotted with pot lights. Extensive glazing along one wall is in keeping with modern design trends.
An eye-grabbing ledgestone wall defines the stairwell. "It's a large wall and it was hard to find art, so I wanted something that gave it a pop," said Kranenburg.
In the master bedroom, a dark, trimmed-out accent wall behind the headboard and a tray ceiling lend the room a pleasing blend of style and cosy self-containment. In the ensuite, the pièce de resistance is a gleaming soaker tub — itself a blend of the new and the old — with a chrome nest chandelier above.
Last year, Greenmark won the award in the detached, under 2,000-square-foot category for its popular Ironwood bungalow. It was the first time Greenmark had entered the awards, and Kranenburg told the Citizen at the time he intended to "go big" in 2015. That he did, with a total of five entries that made it to the finalist stage, two of them in custom home categories.
"People now know who we are. Before we weren't even on the map," he said of his multiple wins this year.
Younger builders like Kranenburg (he's 33), are the future of the housing industry, according to GOHBA executive director John Herbert. "We're seeing fewer and fewer young builders now than we did 30 years ago because of increasing government taxation and regulations."
Building out of town as Greenmark does is a way around at least one of the factors inhibiting young builders: soaring land costs.
Herbert added that the past decade has seen a trend toward modern design "versus the traditional warmer stone and wood solution. At some point, I think we'll see some combination thereof."
Looks like the people have already seen the future.

1) Thus far, Bonds has deflected direct questions about the wealth of information contained in Game of Shadows, refusing to answer the queries of reporters at spring training unless they deal specifically with the game of baseball. Asked last week if he would read the book, a glaring Bonds snapped: "Is that a baseball question? Last time I checked, that wasn't a baseball question." If you were a reporter covering Bonds at spring training, how would you have responded?
A) "Yes, Barry, it is. It is a baseball question."
B) "OK, let me rephrase that: Have you read any good book excerpts lately?"
C) "Sorry, Barry, so sorry. Shall I toss you a softball about hitting to the opposite field?"
2) When asked at his locker how the book and the resultant media storm are affecting him, a smiling Bonds told a reporter: "I don't know. I haven't shot anyone yet, so that's pretty good. I haven't killed anyone. I haven't gone psycho." What do you make of the quote?
A) He should have added, "Yet."
B) Hmm ... does the book say he's killed anyone? And define "psycho."
C) See, no homicide. That proves he wasn't taking steroids.
3) Among the book's many revelations is that Bonds first began using what he called "the shit" after becoming envious of the media adulation directed at St. Louis Cardinal (and former Oakland A) Mark McGwire, whose shattering of the single-season home run record in 1998 brought legions of fans back to the game. According to the book, before the 1999 season, Bonds hired personal trainer Greg Anderson to become his strength and conditioning coach, and Anderson began supplying the verbally abusive Bonds with steroids. Do the details in Game of Shadows make you change your opinion of Bonds?
A) No, they confirm it.
B) Mark McGwire is white, right? Good, I can blame him.
C) Nah. He hits the ball farther on steroids. And I drive a MINI Cooper, so the home runs are all I really care to see when I come to a Giants game.
4) The San Francisco Giants, owner Peter McGowan, and General Manager Brian Sabean have received heavy criticism for failing to confront Bonds over the past seven years about the obvious changes to his body, and for refusing to answer questions about the accusations, despite strong indications they knew Anderson was a steroid dealer. Even Bonds' teammates are defensive. "I think it's crap," says outfielder Steve Finley. "Shame on those guys and Sports Illustrated for coming out with it now, with the World Baseball Classic going on. We are supposed to be answering questions about baseball, not Bonds. Barry's our teammate, and that's it. We're behind him 100 percent." What do you think of the team's response?
A) Why is anyone interviewing Steve Finley?
B) What do you expect the Giants to do? Confront their moody, raging superstar who's perverting the game? While they're simultaneously deceiving the residents of San Francisco about how our tax dollars aren't funding the new ballpark? That's just too much deception, even for a Bay Area sports franchise.
C) I agree with Finley: What right do fans have to know if the players we're paying too much money to see are a bunch of juiced-up phonies? The important thing to remember is that Barry's always been such an ideal teammate.
5) Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig says he's planning a review of the book when the full version comes out, but has so far declined to address the issue in much more detail. His office could well find itself in an awkward position if it disciplines the player who is also trying to break the all-time home run record and is the subject of an ESPN television reality show this year. What do you think Selig should do?
A) The phrase "take a long walk off a short pier" comes to mind ....
B) If I were Selig, I would immediately and unequivocally hand over all decisions and policy regarding steroids in baseball to the one man who can get this game restored: President George W. Bush. (Bonus point for adding: "OK, OK, I'm kidding. I was just thinking of the only way this scandal could be even more humiliating for the nation.")
C) Get his own reality show. It could be called The Apprentice for the Damned.
6) Bonds, however, says the all-time home run record is no longer his only goal. He says he would much rather reach the rarefied plateau of 3,000 career hits, telling reporters he'd like to "talk shit" to former San Diego Padres outfielder Tony Gwynn, already a member of the 3,000-hit club. Would you like to see Bonds earn that mark?
A) I'd like to see him talk shit to Tony Gwynn. "Hey, Tony, I took steroids to prolong my career and you didn't. Neener, neener, neener."
B) Yeah, I'd like to see him get 3,000 hits. Then I can stand and applaud with that same queasy feeling I got at my ex-wife's wedding.
C) Honestly, only, like, 700 of those hits came on steroids.
7) And finally, do you think Barry Bonds should go into the Baseball Hall of Fame?
A) Sure. He should go in, take a look around, and then get the hell out.
B) Let's wait and see if he kills anyone ... I've always felt that homicide is the measure of a man.
C) Absolutely. And it's not a question of which team's hat he'll wear, just how big they make the bust of his head -- the Pittsburgh Pirate size of his pre-steroid youth, or the swollen, egotistical mass it is now for the Giants?
How to score:
Score zero points for every "A" answer, one point for every "B," and two points for every "C."
0-6 points: We know, we know. Sometimes you wish you were into fashion instead, and didn't get angry about this stuff.
7-10 points: Can't make up your mind about Bonds, huh? Well, take heart: Neither can Bud Selig.
11-14 points: Congratulations! You're a true apologist for Barry Bonds. Now go field another mediocre team, Mr. McGowan.

Getting Black and White Pictures . You must train oneself to `see` in shade (ignore the colors inside front of your camera) if you want to be able to become a pro in creating better grayscale pictures . One of the most basic black and white photography tips for mastering to `see in tone` is to buy whether or not monochrome viewing filter, (sometimes referred to as some sort of `black and white. looking at filter),` or even a pair associated with sunglasses with dark greyish lenses. View the landscape that you wish in order to create a grayscale photograph associated with through the sunglasses (or the filter). The dim lens will help get rid of color, and make typically the background (subject) appear throughout shades of tone vs . colored hues. This easy step alone will boost your attempts at dark-colored N white photography. Uncover how other photographers `see in tone` in each of our free photo contest.
By simply utilizing the "sunglasses technique", the photographer saw this amazing black and white formula of the Golden Door Bridge. However, you even now require the 5 cornerstones to excel!. Before, many of us delve into the five monochrome cornerstones- let`s in brief talk about composition. Should you read many blogs in addition to tutorials regarding black and white photography, that they will have an area on composition. This will be somewhat misleading. Composition is usually important no matter in case the image is dark and white or coloring.
It is the `tools` of composition that may fluctuate based on which method (color or BandW) that you are currently choosing. A good instrument of composition for the color photograph may not really apply to a black and white photograph of the identical scene. This is very important, specially if your plan is usually to convert the colour image to a dark and white image throughout post-production. 4 of typically the 5 cornerstones for awesome BandW photography are `composition tools`. The tools may be applicable to colour or BandW photography. On the other hand , they are particularly important for BandW photography!.
Grayscale Photography Tips The a few Cornerstones of All Excellent Monochrome Photos. Like GuruShots page So, you desire to create jaw-dropping, amazing, black and white photography- but you`re not confident how to start that . Anyone with a digicam can be creative and even make a monochrome image. On the other hand , if you want to have your BandW photography excel, be this portraits, landscapes, still lifestyle , or any other subject matter matter- there are your five cornerstone attributes that a person should try to infuse in to your black and whitened pictures. In this write-up , we will cover:
Standard Black and White Picture taking Concepts: Precisely what is Black in addition to White Photography, When as well as how to Take Better Black and even White Photographs, Developing Tips for Black and White colored Photography. Advanced Black plus White Photography Techniques: Distinction , Tone, Shadow, Shape, Consistency . Examples of the Superior Photography Techniques in Work with : Landscape Photography, Street Pictures , Architectural Photography, Abstract Picture taking . What exactly is Black and White wine / Monochrome Photography, Black color and white photography, from its simplest explanation, will be the absence of any kind of color in the picture . However is that the particular same as a black and white photograph?.
Coming Way up with Delete word Black color and White photos. A few face it... you`re not necessarily really `coming up along with ideas` for monochrome photographs . What you`re really carrying out is coming up using delete word a photo- period. Most of your concern while a black and white colored photographer should be... Just how do I photograph this specific scene, person, object, subject matter , or idea (that I use in my head) throughout a shot that shouts for the monochrome photo taking medium? Some subjects will need colours- many don`t. When , you`ve made the choice that color is not necessarily an important element to be able to the art (artwork) that you have been about to create- most likely willing to proceed utilizing the particular 5 cornerstones (we`re concerning to discuss), great light , and of course (always) considering the final structure
Any time to Use Black In White Photography. The concept of `when` to make use of black and white photography is sort of some sort of misnomer. There are a few photographers that shoot just monochrome no matter precisely what the situation is. Right now , there are certain circumstances that appear to lend them selves well towards the black bright photography medium. There very likely isn`t a soul reading through this article that hasn`t already drooled over a fantastic monochrome landscape photograph. That will being said... You will see fantastic examples of BandW visualize from virtually every photo taking genre available. The crucial isn`t when should you use BandW photography, but instead just how to apply the five cornerstones to your specific situation.
Monochrome Photography Techniques: The particular 5 Cornerstones. Contrast, Precisely what really does the foundation contrast mean exactly to be able to your monochrome photograph? It indicates that for an "average contrast" black and white colored photograph- there should become an easy gradation regarding tone through the deepest dark , through each of the shades regarding gray, and up for the brightest white. How carry out you produce this kind of photograph?.
1. Try to find scenes with a great various color hues. The particular colors inside your image should be converted to grey tones; while having some sort of large various varying hues doesn`t necessarily guarantee a new good tonal range within the conversion- it`s an action in the correct direction. An individual can use your shades technique to confirm just how your colors are heading to `turn` in to a hue of tone.
2. Prevent high contrast lighting. This particular is not to claim `always` avoid high distinction lighting when producing black and white photography. This is certainly saying while you practice the capacity of creating a total tonal range BandW photograph- with a balanced form a contrast ratio- avoid high compare lighting.
3. When you start to be able to post-process your image document . Keep an eye upon the Histogram. If your current edits cause the Histogram to develop `cuts` within the flow from shadow in order to highlight- this means if you`re dropping tones. The even more cuts that the Histogram shows , and the tighter typically the graph becomes from remaining to right- the significantly less tonal range and improved contrast your final picture is going to exhibit . Sometimes these `cuts`, or perhaps `drops` can`t be averted . Create as few involving them as possible. If you want to create a "high contrast" photograph. Push the still left (shadow) and right (highlight) boundaries of the Histogram inward.
Black and White colored Photography Meaning. `The significance of black N white colored photography` may appear primary to some folks. On the other hand to others, especially fresh photographers, it may certainly not be quite so obvious . For example, what is definitely the difference between `BandW photography` and the name `Monochrome Photography`? Is a grayscale photograph a monochrome photograph- and visa versa? Some sort of BandW photo is some sort of monochrome photo. However, an individual could have a black and white photo that isn`t a grayscale photo. Confused? Let`s determine both. A black and even white photograph is the image where all coloring has been removed (either in the digital procedure or through the alternative of film).
It is composed of shades of dreary tone that generally move from dark (black) in order to light (white). A black and white image also has the particular colour removed. But... this may not display colours of gray, which is definitely a requirement to become a grayscale image. A black and white image could be colours of yellow/red (also recognized as a sepia) or even blue (which in typically the days of the darkroom was induced by using the chemical). So... a black and white image consists of colors (shades) of something (red, yellow, green, blue, and even so forth ) -- not necessarily gray.
The way to Plan for the Ideal Black and White Pictures . We`ve touched upon many techniques that would end up being part of the arranging process. However, let`s said down into a listing form to ensure that it`s quick to remember.
1. Take in the camera organic format (if you`re firing digital) so that the original file may have the particular maximum dynamic range (ability to capture highlights to be able to shadows) versus a. JPEG file. You should usually shoot in the uncooked file format (if feasible ... or shoot both formats).
2. Use the sun glasses technique to establish that will your final image may have good contrast and tonal separation. (Very important with regard to BandW film photographers since you are limited on the subject of tonal separation once a person have clicked the shutter release. ).
3. Organize a new composition that utilizes while many of the a few cornerstones as possible- although also considering the additional tools of composition and even the lighting.
4. Build a processing style of which results in a total range of tone (should that become your wanted outcome). If your design is high contrast monochrome imaging- then you usually are gonna have an entire range of tone. Typically the goal is to really know what you want, and after that how to get presently there!

Shedding a thought on Alex Neil
Posted by Featured Articles | Published on 19/02/2016
Alex Neil is one of the greatest things to happen to Norwich City in recent history, you'd be very shallow to want to see the back of him.
I've seen lots of disregards and lack of faith tossed towards the Scotsman on social media. It completely bamboozles me. How can anyone want a manager who got us into the Premier League despite coming in when we looked almost certain to miss out on promotion to quit? It's beyond me.
We all know that Neil likes to attack the opposition with free-flowing, offensive football. Alex's ideas and tactics, if complimented by the players, could bury our 'little old Norwich' title but it's not going to happen when he has to work with the squad of Adam's and Hughton's yesteryear.
Alex Neil needs his own team. His own players. He needs a real chance to mould his own squad to enforce his philosophy.
Since joining in January of 2015, Neil has had very few opportunities to do just this. His first transfer window was at the start of 2015, he'd just arrived, had very little knowledge of the squad and had not seen enough of the first team to know where to strengthen. He then had a great chance to create a side that would fit his needs in the summer, but this was spoilt by the lack of backing and dismal efforts of the recruitment team. Lee Darnbrough, cough. Two transfer windows where Neil was starved of a chance to get the players and team he needs!
The most recent window, however, tells a different tale, one of success! This January Neil was finally given some pennies and a half-decent scout report. In return, players that aid Neil's ideas. Unfortunately, it was little too late as January isn't a time where Neil could get in all the recruits he needed; one month was not a period where Neil was able to overhaul a squad full of deadwood in exchange for players suited to his system.
Neil has not yet formed his squad. He's having to force tactics upon a set of players where most of them quite frankly cannot deliver.
The 'he has had three windows to do so' is garbage, he's not yet had a half-decent chance to create his army; Alex Neil will see results turn out when he is finally given the chance to build his Norwich City side. When the players cross the white line and step out onto the pitch there is very little Neil can do, what he can do is give instructions. But, when the players are incapable of enforcing his instructions then Neil stands little chance, so give the man time to get together the team he needs, one that will comply with his beliefs.
I've also seen a lot of 'Alex Neil is the worst manager in the league' – now that really is low. In no way, shape or form is this true. For starters he is the youngest in the league, so cut him some slack, and secondly he is easily a class above Newcastle's Steve McClaren. It is the team's gutless performances that reflect badly on Neil giving people this impression, Neil is a top class manager and just needs the players to show that.
With all that said you have to bare in mind the age of the Scotsman. At just 34 he has been in management for just two and half years, not long at all. When you compare side-by-side the success of Neil in his short managerial career to date he has proven himself as a talent. Two promotions from his first two seasons on the touchline, one for the CV that. It's no fluke, it's skill, skill that will only develop with age and experience which is yet to come.
For me, Neil is all about the future. A project so to speak. Building a squad in the near future, carving his style into Norwich City Football Club over time and then eventually firing the club back to its once reached heights.
Neil needs time to develop, it may cost us our Premier League status but it's not as bad as it sounds. Maybe the only way to go forward is to go back and start again? It may be too soon for Neil to manage in the Premier League, especially with an unrelatable squad.
If we give Neil the time he needs to learn and progress, he will become one of the best managers in Europe. I honestly believe that in twenty years time he could be exactly that.
We go down, we rebuild our squad to suit Neil's style and we give ourselves every opportunity of going back up. The main focal point here though is that Neil will have no deadwood and be able to progress as a manager whilst referencing to his philosophy – attacking football.
Be it go down and come back up or stay in the Premier League, give Alex Neil time and he will get us towards the top end of the Premier League, in time. A great prospect with fight, passion, and talent, dismiss him and we dismiss our bright future as a club.
A great prospect with fight, passion, and talent. Dismiss him and we dismiss our bright future as a club.

Don't mind the mess!
We're currently in the process of migrating the Panda3D Manual to a new service. This is a temporary layout in the meantime.
Labels are like buttons, but they do not respond to mouse-clicks. This means a DirectLabel is basically just a text string, and in that respect is similar to OnscreenText, except that the DirectLabel integrates better with the rest of the DirectGUI system (and the constructor accepts more DirectGUI-like options).
If you are making a text label to appear on a DirectFrame or in conjunction with DirectGUI somehow, you should probably use a DirectLabel. For all other uses of text, you would probably be better off using OnscreenText or a making a plain Text Node instead.
DirectLabel's only unique keyword can be used if you want to create a label with multiple states. If you set the value of activeState to a nonexistent state, the label will disappear, since the default state is undefined.

They have been spending silly money on transfer fees and offering stupid money for players wages as agents dealing with a new and inexperienced market have fleeced them quite frankly. There is only one reason a player goes to China and it isn't to play football.
Now, both the Chinese Football Federation and the Asian Football Confederation have admitted that 18 clubs are experiencing difficulty in paying their players. From the top CLS division, 13 clubs are experiencing difficulty paying their players including Shanghai Shenhua, Guangzhou Evergrande, Shanghai SIPG, Jiangsu Suning and Hebei China Fortune.
Now perhaps we see why Barcelona have been interested in Paulinho, his agent has probably been trying to find him a new club. It may well be he offering Paulinho to Barcelona than Barcelona scouting and deciding he is a man they want.
Players who could soon be available
- 33-year-old (34 next February) Argentinian Carlos Tevez (Shanghai Shenhua)
- 29-year-old (30 next July) Brazilian Paulinho (Guangzhou Evergrande)
- 30-year-old (31 in October) Colombian Jackson Martínez (Guangzhou Evergrande)
- 30-year-old (31 next March) Brazilian Ramires (Jiangsu Suning)
- 31-year-old (32 next July) Brazilian Hulk (Shanghai SIPG)
- 25-year-old (26 in September) Brazilian Óscar (Shanghai SIPG)
- 32-year-old (33 next May) Argentinian Ezequiel Lavezzi (Habei China Fortune)

About thecraftypixie
Creating a Crafty Universe, One Star at a Time!
Thank you so much for stopping by my shop! <3
Ever since I was a kid, I have Loved to create beautiful things! And since I will never ever grow up, I will continue to dream & to create!
I started my shop in late 2010, because I have always loved shopping at Etsy! I was so inspired by all the beautiful creations by amazing people from all over the world, that I decided I wanted to be a part of it!
A year later, in December 2011, I injured my arm/shoulder at work, and have been unable to work as a dental hygienist since. I have been in constant pain everyday for 2 years now! I have tried everything from different meds & injections, to physiotherapy & ergotherapy. Nothing helps. The worse part of this is that doing the things I love like drawing, painting, cross stitch, sewing, and crafts hurts me, too! But being stubborn and bullheaded, I do a little bit of the things I love despite the pain. It makes me so happy! And even better, it makes other people who buy them happy, too! :)
Finally, on November 27th 2013, I will have surgery on my arm! My doctor says most of my pain will go away, and most of my mobility will come back! YAY! But my career as a dental hygienist is over... Gotta find something new to do...
~ * * * ^_^ * * * ~
I design & make everything in my shop myself! Sometimes I buy already make craft supplies from Etsy or eBay to make some of my creations, too. I get inspired my everything and anything! I just have lots of fun making beautiful things!
Once you purchase something from my shop, I will try my best to ship it out as soon as I can, between 1 to 3 business days.
It's always fun to receive packages in the mail! It's like opening up presents! So I will package your purchase with lots of cuteness and fun decorations! I always try to re-use or recycle packaging material, but only if it looks nice!
If there is any problem with your order, you can always contact me through Etsy messaging and we can talk about it. I want everyone to be happy!
I would always greatly appreciate a message that you have received your package safe and sound, and of course your opinion about whether you like your order and the packaging! And of course, 5 Star feedback with lots of lovely compliments would make my day and me super happy! :)
Thank you so much for reading all about me & my shop!
Big Hugs & Blessed be!
Annie ^_^
p.s. My favorite food is spaghetti, my fave color is blue, fave season is Autumn, fave holiday is Halloween. I will stop here or else, I can go on forever! <3

Shop policies
All my items are handmade, and therefore unique! Even if another similar is made, there will be slight variations.
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
If an item gets lost in the mail, I can offer a refund of the item, or try to replace it. However I will not refund any shipping charges, and if you prefer a replacement, additional shipping charges will be applied.
Some shipping prices seem high because of the thickness of certain items when placed in the mailer. These are the actual shipping prices from Canada Post. If the shipping cost is significantly lower than the price you paid, then I will refund you the difference.
Each item is placed in a plastic or organza bag, then wrapped in tissue paper and tied with string or ribbon. Then it is placed in a bubble mailer, or box (depending) and shipped to you! Yay!
I strongly believe in recycling, so I sometimes re-use like-new shipping materials. But if you prefer all new materials, let me know.
I ship from Montreal, Canada. Shipment to some provinces (Canada) or states (USA) might take up to 10 business days. International shipment might take 3 to 5 weeks.
Please note that buyers are responsible for any and all duties and customs charges that may be incurred.

You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own and you know what you know, and YOU are the one who'll decide where to go."
– Dr Seuss
You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own and you know what you know, and YOU are the one who'll decide where to go."
– Dr Seuss
"Fly Wind, fly! You're free now! Fly to the edge of the earth and back, and tell me of your amazing adventures." whispered the little girl to her Giant Sky Eagle. Nearly everyone in Wind Valley had one, mostly for transport or for a pet. Wind didn't budge. The little girl could tell he wouldn't go anywhere without her, so she said, "It'd just be for a little while. You could come back for me." she told him soothingly. "GO!" she shouted when that didn't work, tears springing to her eyes as she watched her friend fly away. "I'll see you when you come back for me," she whispered loudly, "When you come to take me to a better place than here." The little girl stayed on the ledge until Wind disappeared from her sight. She shouted some parting words to her swiftly departing bird, "Remember me."
Years had passed before she saw Wind again. The girl was now fifteen. It was a clear day above Wind Valley, but not underneath. Underneath Wind Valley, fluffy white clouds floated harmlessly from place to place as Wind Valley stayed in it's place in the sky. No one walked the earth below anymore, as the air was too toxic. The air up in Wind Valley was beautiful, and not polluted, as there were no factories or cars. The girl was standing on the same cliff that she had ten years ago, when she had released Wind. She closed her eyes, letting a westerly breeze blow through her hair, filling her nostrils with the sweet scent of flowers. The girl had come here every day since then, hoping Wind would come back and take her somewhere else, on an adventure. She hated Wind Valley, as beautiful as it was. She was to rule as queen when she turned sixteen, but she was afraid of ruling. She was never able to do all of the fun things that other teenagers were. Wind, in other words, was her only way to escape that bleak life, and that dark future. The girl figured that if she could escape, then no one would be able to tell her to be a queen anywhere. The girl looked down, watching the clouds drift. Somewhere above the clouds, she saw a blue shape shifting. She squinted, trying to make out what it was. It was coming towards her at an alarming rate. She blinked, unable to believe what she was seeing. Wind had come back to her! As it plunged into her, she could have sworn it squawked her name. KAIRI!
I cycled round and round and round,
I pedalled faster, homeward bound,
I tried to find my way back home,
But unsuccessful, unlike some.
Some people have it easy,
Never feel queasy,
'Bout being lost,
No matter the cost.
And as I rode and rode and rode,
I thought about how I'd been lost in the road.

Passing Chords Tutorial
Passing chords are like temporary stepping stones between chords in a progression. When used correctly, passing chords add harmonic variety and make your playing sound more interesting and dynamic.
Passing chords do not have to be in the key you are in and in fact, they are often more effective when the chord is not in the key you are in. In this lesson we will are going to apply passing chords to a major 251 and also in context to a few different jazz standards.
A very common type of passing chord is a chromatic passing chord built a half step above or a half the target chord. In particular, a dominant chord a half step above will always lead very nicely onto the target chord.
Lesson Downloads
Upper Structure Cheat Sheet File Type: pdf
Practice Tips
First take the major 251 progression and try adding a dominant passing chord a half step above the 1 chord.
Repeat the same process with the minor 251 progression.
Remember that you can also add alterations and upper structure triads to the dominant passing chords to create more tension and strengthen the sense of resolution.
- Apply this technique to the jazz standards you are working on - this is a process of trial and error, you will find combinations that work, combinations that don't work and this is part of the learning process.

IN COMMENTS submitted in early February, the National Industrial Transportation League (NITL) called for significant revisions in a Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) proposal to clarify the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to specific activities, including hazmat loading, unloading, and storage during transportation.
On June 14, 2001, RSPA proposed the clarifications in HM-223. The proposed rule sets forth a list of HMR pre-transportation and transportation functions to which the HMR apply. In its proposal, the agency seeks to clarify that "transportation in commerce" for the purposes and applicability of the HMR begins when a carrier takes possession of a hazardous material and continues until the carrier delivers the package containing the hazardous material to its destination as indicated on the shipping documents.
The NITL's comments made it clear that RSPA's proposal requires substantial revision in light of the Department of Transportation's broad statutory authority over the transportation of hazardous materials; the need for uniform nationwide rules governing the transportation of such materials in the interests of safety; and especially in light of the increased requirements of national security after the tragic events of September 11.
There are important safety considerations underlying this clear policy directive of the Congress, according to NITL. The safe transportation of hazardous materials over the nation's transportation system depends upon the actions of thousands of separate persons, each dealing with separate parts of the transportation system. Safe transportation can only be met if the activities of each of thousands of persons are coordinated through a nationwide, consistent regulatory structure that is transparent to each of them. This can only be accomplished through nationwide federal regulation under DOT, for only in this way can shippers and carriers know what is expected, and only in this way can there be consistent regulatory control.
Failure of DOT to assert its jurisdiction could result in gaps in the regulatory network that would adversely affect the safe transportation of goods, and could open shippers and carriers to multiple and potentially inconsistent regulatory requirements, NITL said. State and local governments, however well-intentioned, are simply not able to prescribe comprehensive, nationwide rules to protect against such threats. The resulting overlapping and inconsistent rules would create uncertainties and gaps that might well be exploited by potential terrorists.
NITL believes that loading by a shipper, not just a carrier, should be covered under the HMR. There is no functional difference between loading activities conducted by a carrier and loading activities conducted by a shipper, and the activity of loading is integral to the transportation of hazardous materials no matter which party — carrier or shipper — does it. The proposed rule flies squarely in the face of modern transportation practice. In fact, as the comments note, under the "Voluntary Guide to Good Business Relations," endorsed by NITL and the Truckload Carriers Association in 2000, the shipper is generally responsible for loading and unloading, because the shipper is most familiar with the properties of goods being loaded. By making shippers subject to inconsistent regulations by state and local governments, the proposed rule will tend to discourage shipper loading and unloading, potentially increasing the likelihood of unsafe practices in loading and unloading of hazardous materials.
Previously, numerous commenters had urged DOT to assert regulatory power under the concept of the shipper's "intent" to transport hazardous materials. DOT had rejected this approach as unworkable, as "intent" is difficult to establish. NITL offered ideas that would help in this respect.
With respect to commodities transported in bulk, NITL suggested that the actual physical loading by either a carrier or a shipper of the bulk container would provide a clear dividing line for determining the agency's jurisdiction under the HMR. NITL does not believe that bulk containers are loaded by a shipper without the shipper's clear purpose to imminently transport the hazardous material. Thus, NITL believes that the agency can avoid the uncertainties of determining "intent" in the case of bulk transportation by providing for DOT jurisdiction under the HMR to attach when a shipper physically loads a bulk container.
For non-bulk transportation, NITL said that loading by a shipper should fall under DOT jurisdiction as soon as two conditions are met: (a) loading of a hazardous material in a DOT-approved container; and (b) preparation of shipping papers. NITL said that even if DOT is correct that one of these conditions, standing alone, does not necessarily mean that a particular hazmat package is intended for transportation in commerce, the concurrence of these two events is highly likely to occur only when there is a purpose to transport and when actual physical movement is imminent. Alternately, HMR jurisdiction could attach when the non-bulk package is actually loaded onto a vehicle.
Once material is "loaded" under the definitions suggested above, subsequent movement by the shipper or carrier, and tendering the "loaded" container to the carrier should clearly fall within the HMR. This should include intra-facility movements to permit tender of goods to the carrier. Finally, NITL said that there should be no arbitrary time limit for storage incidental to a movement.

It appears that Cuba is all set to join the computer age, with a leaked memo suggesting that more sweeping changes are on the way following Fidel Castro's decision to step aside from the presidency.
Reuters is suggesting that it has seen a copy of an instruction from the government allowing the natives of the communist country to get their hands on equipment formerly only sold to foreign businesses.
"Based on the improved availability of electricity, the government at the highest level has approved the sale of some equipment which was prohibited," the memo said.
No toast
Although TVs are available, and DVDs and videos on the way, those in dire need of a toaster (possibly to give as a wedding gift) will have to wait until 2010 due to a shortage of power supplies.
The prospects of a Cuban using this new-found freedom to access TechRadar seem remote at the present time however, with less than 2 per cent having access to the internet.
Indeed, with the electrical goods still only available for convertible pesos – rather than the Cuban pesos provided by the state for wages – the uptake of technology is not likely to be particularly widespread in the short term.

Is there anything else to look forward to in this NASCAR season?
While those type of things are becoming far and few between after Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr combined to win 11 of the first 14 races this season, there are still a few things that could liven up the season a bit.

With that being said and and the status quo being God in the world of NASCAR right now, here are five things that will happen before the end of the season. What are your thoughts? What would you like to see happen by the end of The 2018 Cup Series season? Let us know in the comments below!
