Olympus presents the new PEN E-PL7 camera which combines, style, quality and connectivity.
The designers from the PEN series understood perfectly what other brands haven't: many seek a camera that complements its style with high quality and creative abilities. Which is why they avoid plastic reflex cameras that a large and ruin its personal aspect.
The LCD screen of the new PEN can swivel and twist to make shots with the timer of selfies or video without the fingers becoming a nuisance for framing. You can even drive without touching the camera, simply using the smartphone's screen.
The E-PL7 can be considered a fashion icon. It's a camera that's as easy to use as the telephone and presents a different aspect with a wide range of accessories, professional standards and a great quantity of creative functions.
An excellent aspect
Its excellent design extends towards its accessories and its retro style of protective bases, lens caps, or belts.
The E-PL7 offers high quality images with powerful camera technology OM-D for high quality Olympus cameras, jointly with creative options, easy use, and simple to share images on social networks.
Creativity without limits
Connectivity options that permit the easy uploading of images to the internet are things that blog users keep in mind.
For example, the Live Guide functions, permit adjusting the parameter via a bar on the LCD screen (without having to navigate the menu) and verify the effect of the changes real time, before pressing the shutter.
The Live Guide function provides professional sophisticated quality effects like bokeh (blurred background).
It includes a thin interchangeable 14-42 mm 1:3.5-5.6 EZ lens to develop their creative in any place. It has an excellent quality image thanks to its sensor Love MOS with 16.1 megapixels and its image processor TruePic VII.
Olympus is a pioneering brand with image editing resources in the PEN and PEN E-PL7 camera and includes 14 artistic filters such as, for example, the new Partial Color and Vintage filters. All of them can be precisely adjusted to suit the user.
Share you images at an instant
Olympus OI Share is an application that can be downloaded free of charge and has a much simpler connection between the PEN camera and a smartphone using Wi-Fi to share with friends and followers your favorite images on social networks.
With the brand name Olympus PEN engraved on its metal case the E-PL7 exudes style and shows that it is not necessary to overload the shoulders with a heavy DSLR for professional photography.
Availability and Price
The new Olympus PEN E-PL7 camera will be available in white, silver and black starting October 2014 at an estimated price of $599 and $699 with a slim-line 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ pancake zoom lens.
Both models are compatible with the OI Share application to share via Wi- Fi through a smartphone with Android iOS.

Meet Me At the Met: The Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden
The opening of a site-specific exhibit by the French artist, Pierre Huyghe, on the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was a harbinger of spring. I couldn't wait to see it. This is the third installation in a series of works commissioned by the museum, all of which are meant to explore the relationship of the rooftop to its environs -- that is, to Central Park and to the city.
The first installation, Big Bambu, by the artists Doug and Mike Stan in 2010, combined the architecture and sculpture of bamboo. For that exhibit, visitors hoping to climb the bamboo ranging high overhead, needed timed tickets and rubber-soled shoes. For the less adventurous, there was the sense of walking thru a grove of bamboo . The Big Bambu was a popular and an amusing diversion for us city folk. The Met struck gold with that one.
Then came last year's installation, Hedge and Two-Way Mirror Walkabout, by Dan Graham and Gunther Vog -- a miracle of grass and glass. An esthetically pleasing vision of a rooftop covered with lush green grass. Grass you could walk on! Grass in the city has a charm all its own, but added to that were see-thru glass sculptures and tall green hedges. Pure and simple, the installation was as inviting as a glass of ice cold water on a hot summer's day. Another winner. Can you find your intrepid photographer?
Having thoroughly enjoyed both prior installations, I was unprepared for this year's. Arriving early on the rooftop, when only security guards and two men setting up the refreshment counter were around, I thought I had made a mistake. Thought the installation was not yet ready for public viewing. Ahead of me were rooftop pavers that had been torn up --as if a plumber had been trying to locate the source of a leak.
Watch Your Step!
It took a minute before I realized that what I had thought a plumbing problem was the artist's vision of a rooftop turned into an archeological dig. Okay, so after they tore up the pavers, did they find any vestiges of an earlier era? A sketch mounted near the entrance offered tantalizing clues: the installation contains traces of oxidized copper, water, fossils, and canine and human remains. I've been to archeological digs in Egypt and the Greek isles, but I've never seen any as uninteresting as that on the rooftop.
Do you see the Plexiglas aquarium In the photo above? Containing two oval boulders and three tiny guppies suctioning algae off the interior of the aquarium, this display is meant to symbolize the origins of early life. Elsewhere, I came across four weeds—not growing randomly as weeds are wont to do, but growing in a straight row. Other notations on the sketch --Oxidize, Aqua, Tool Stones, Human, Fossils, Auto Generating, Rite Passage—provide a conceptual map of the artist's thought processes. See for yourself. The walkabout, be it on paper or in the garden, starts at the lower left corner.
Need a Translation?
A plaque reads: Occupying this altered landscape are diverse and dynamic elements that shift or manifest themselves according to their own varied rhythms. Really? Are we saying that seeds sow themselves in tidy rows? That certainly has not been my experience in the garden.
I came way feeling the installation better suited to MoMA than to the rooftop of the Met. But this being the Met, it's possible to find random touches of beauty everywhere. Including a lone flower on a vine.
Here's the clincher. The Met's collection is so vast, so varied and so deep that if one installation doesn't take your fancy, there are hundreds of others to choose from. Me? I'm off to see Van Gogh: Irises and Roses, but first I'm going to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the view. Isn't that what rooftops are all about?
Last week, two readers complained that they were not receiving regular posts from Desperately Seeking Paris. If that's the case, would you take a second to sign up again by leaving your email. Perhaps when we switched mailing companies, we may have lost a few names. Sorry about that. And remember guys and gals, sharing is caring ....

The importance of finishing- are you one of those folks with 10 or 15 projects stacked up somewhere that you are going to get to someday? I have this problem with my art and to a lesser degree craft projects (since I mostly paint now ;)). What does it mean to be finished? My uncle said some of my works were not done because they were not signed…I guess paintings are done when the artists says so. I Think the real problem with a finished painting is now it is up for judging. If it is never finished then that leaves room for more progress. I have heard that some painters have worked on a piece for years…The Mona Lisa- and according to quora.com is unsigned – so maybe the Mona Lisa is not fished either! I guess I do not have the luxury of having so many unfinished pieces. They weigh on me like ghosts niggling (is that even a word?) for my attention. I know when I go to Maine I will finish many pieces mostly because my attention is not pulled to teaching and other things. I also have a "better" routine down there. I get up, get coffee and start look at my art seeing what needs tending to. Then I often go for a walk in the national forest and come home eat lunch and depending on the weather either head out to paint outside or sit and look for more my next move on the 20-25 paintings that hang on the wall opposite from the kitchen table. My uncle and I have made a pretty good work space out of the formal dining area. He hung a good strong light that has both warm and cool bulbs- I like it and I can watch TV if I want or listen to music while I tend to my "ghosts". This week when I went with the En Plein Aire group to Cedar Circle Farm in East Thetford Vermont, I went with 2- 5″x7″ mapped out spaces for paintings. I was determined to get 90 % done in the session. It worked! I have just a wee bit of tweaking to do and I am going to put them up for sale. BTW- if you are in the area stop in to Cedar Circle Farm. They have a café with good coffee and tea and the granola scone I had was yummy. They have indoor and outdoor places to sit and eat. Lots of plants and interesting planters. I cannot get the link thing to work today but you can copy and paste this address….https://cedarcirclefarm.org/ for more info. Cedar Circle also has a FB page at this address https://www.facebook.com/cedarcirclefarm/ Looking at the picture below helps me see what I would do the next time I paint this view- of course another in finished not even started "ghost"! I am sure glad they are friendly! 😉
I am going to call this blog done. Until next week- Peace- Bec

The 'noble' catoblepas. Abused, maligned, sometimes nearly forgotten. So weird is it that practically no one can agree on what it looks like. Surely a creature of pure fantasy with no basis in reality whatsoever.
Not so. There is something real behind it. Along the way we visit ancient TSR periodicals, talk about the first encyclopedic catalog, and discuss the advantages of knowing just enough to get yourself in trouble.

Toronto, Ontario -- September 7, 2018 -- It has been a strange year for collision repair facilities across much of Canada. In Prairies and in Atlantic Canada, natural disasters -- from floods, wildfires and unexpected hail storms -- have had facilities struggling to accomodate more vehicles in shorter periods of time than ever before.
With overflow vehicles often left out on the yard, many repairers have been forced to adopt new strategies in order to decrease their cycle times. Ever responsive to the needs of the market, some manufacturers and distributors, it seems, are starting to pick-up on the value of creating tools designed to allow for some procedures to be performed outside.
Today, the Canadian manufacturer Arslan has announcement of the arrival of the 10-AV700 AccuVision-3D Chassis Measuring System, which it describes as the next generation system, and includes a raft of technologies that are specifically designed to allow for outdoor operations.
"When we started working on the design, we actually had American repairers in mind -- they often work in the sun," says Accuvision 3D and Arslan president Arman Gurarslan. "But its become clear that a lot of Canadian shops are going to benefit from the new features."
While Collision Repair staff have not yet had the chance to get hands-on with it, the manufacturer specs do seem to suggest that it will be more than a simple incremental improvement over earlier measuring systems. Rather than just a traditional stereoscopic camera, AccuVision-3D has rigged this model with a set of infrared and LED lights. This new system enables users to use the system outdoors even under direct sunlight -- and in the dark.
But it isn't just outdoor lighting concerns that have been addressed. The manufacturer has also made it so that measurements may be accurately performed on surfaces that aren't even flat. With an easy-to-use hand-held pointer, the units are also self-calibrating, allowing for repairers save time while working under-pressure. The system also connects to the Mitchell chassis database, which is used and when there is no data available, the user is capable of making data to measure.
"The big advantage with the new units comes down how quickly they get jobs done," says Gurarslan. "With our system, there is zero-setup time. You just touch the points with the magic wand -- what a lot of users have taken to calling the hand-held pointer."
Accuvision-3D is manufactured in Canada by Arslan Automotive Canada Ltd.

Fun & Fashion Friday!
TGIF! Guys we might have finally cracked the seal on SPRING.
I am so exited to get this outdoor sofa on my new patio. In between my hospital and ER visits, work, and birthday parties (yes I have been back to the ER this week - arrrgh) we (well Terry, like 92%) have been working on finishing up this project.
I got these deep cushions for the outdoor sofa from Target. I wanted something comfy to relax in out there. I also picked up a bunch of fun outdoor throw pillows at Target and World Market. They are my go-to stores for fun decorating.
I can't wait to work on decorating the patio! It's a blank slate! Imagine how awesome it will be to sit back there on a sofa we (well Terry, like 92%) built!
In the meantime I am getting exited to start getting into my non-blizzard clothes. So what is up this week?
Zella live in leggings
I have been wearing these leggings as a staple in my life for years now. In the spring, fall, and winter, I actually do "live in" them. I really should buy more colors. My brother got my first pair for me as a gift - which I thought was slightly odd at the time. I mean, I had never been gifted loungewear before.
Here's the thing: my brother was working at Nordstrom at the time (feeding my addiction) and they were a very popular item and deemed a "must have" for women's wear. (Side note: sadly he now works in tech and no longer employed with my mothership.)
I love them so much that I raved about them to my friends and they bought me a second pair for my birthday one year! Ha! So now I have two pairs of the best leggings.
Why do I love them?
First: they are tight but not too tight. The are tight enough to smooth things in but also still comfortable. They have lasted with this satisfying level of butt and thigh hug for years and years now. It's a quality butt hug - but not overpriced.
Second: I can wear them to work out. I have run in them outside many times, especially in the chilly months. I have done yoga in them. There is even a tiny little pocket in the front for a house key or a random thing that one of your kids hands you in the deli line at the grocery store.
Third: They are very well made and opaque and smooth enough to wear to the grocery store or to Target. I don't wear them to work (clients tend to dislike their lawyer dressing casually enough to do a headstand) but you can bet I change into them the second I walk in the door after work. I have a booty and I am conscious of making sure that fabric, especially clingy fabric, looks smooth on my posterior. I would even say it pulls "stuff" in. I have had them for years with no chaffing or pilling whatsoever.
Finally: they come up high enough to cover that extra skin on my abdomen that my kids left after they moved out of my uterus. Here they are again, they're the best.
And now, I have gifted them to multiple people. So I am the weirdo gifting loungewear.
Kate Spade Earrings
I have a few pairs of these gem stone colored earrings that I absolutely love. They are casual enough to dress up a sweatshirt and dressy enough to wear with a suit.
I love the style of Kate Spade and these are the perfect blend of classy and casual. They are even on sale! I'm grabbing another pair.
I saved the best for last: SHOES!
I absolutely love these Michael Kors wedges. I had a few trips planned for last summer and I wanted something that would be comfortable to walk in, especially since I was headed to NYC.
I ordered these because they looked comfortable enough to walk in, yet they had some lift to them. I love heels but I have learned to be careful buying shoes when I have a lot of walking to do.
They look great in the summer with dresses and shorts, and great with pants on a casual day at the office. Last year they were only in white, black, tan, and brown, but this year they come in all kinds of fun colors like blue and orange!
You can see in the photo below I wore them for about half of our day (the drinks, dinner, and more drinks part) out in New York. I'm with my sister here. She's my favorite and such a thoughtful, smart, and lovely human. She is also hilarious and I wish she lived closer because she makes me laugh like no one else.
I'm so happy it's Friday! I hope to have my outdoor sofa on the patio later today! I'll insta it and for sure blog about it soon. XO -kate

HIPAA Legislation is in The House
Datica Alumni — Former Chief Marketing Officer
As of May 21, 2015, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce has officially pushed forward the bill calling for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to "revise and clarify" the HIPAA Privacy Rule's contingencies on the application and release of PHI (protected health information) for research purposes. Next, the legislation is on its way to meet the full House of Representatives. We wanted to use our expertise in the situation to briefly explain what this means for digital health companies.
Under present HIPAA Privacy Rule standards, PHI can be used and shared by covered entities for healthcare payment, treatment, and operations without the need for patient consent. But if this legislation is to be passed, patient authorization will not be needed for the disclosure of PHI for research intents as well if business associates or covered entities are involved. This modern provision aims to accelerate the rate of research, which could lead to breakthroughs in modern medicine, devices, and treatments by removing previous hindrances. But there are those in opposition to these HIPAA proposals voicing their concern for the relaxed direction and feel this could pose concerning patient data.
You may be wondering why these privacy advocates are fighting so passionately since furthering research is generally a desired notion. But looking further into the bill sheds light on these actions. Upon review, one can find the promotion for advancements in precision medicine (personalized medicine) which will incontrovertibly require highly personalized, hypersensitive, and identifiable data, which many patients will likely want sovereignty over. An alternative being considered is to make revisions to the bill outlining guidelines that call for de-identification requirements so individuals will not be able to contacted or identified.
Another provision made in this legislation requests for the penalizing of vendors who fail to meet requirements for secure and interoperable information exchange, something our business partners at Catalyze will never have to concern themselves with. Our number one concern is compliance so that theirs doesn't have to be.
So what next?
The bill is headed for the House of Representatives and if the House passes, the legislation will head directly to the Senate. You can expect that all implications towards these privacy provisions will be heavily scrutinized before passing into effect. Stay tuned as we stay up-to-date on next actions concerning this legislation and all things HIPAA related!

What We Specialize InLumbar Spinal Stenosis - Lumbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal as it runs through the lower back. Like other spinal conditions, it's usually a product of wear and tear, but it can be caused by trauma or a congenital disorder.
Scoliosis - Scoliosis is an unnatural sideways curvature of the spine, generally in the shape of an S or a C. As this curve worsens, it can cause severe back pain and general fatigue.
Spine Pain - Lower back pain can be caused by a number of conditions, from traumatic fractures to scoliosis. Treatment largely depends on the diagnosed condition, but symptoms can generally be addressed without surgery.
Herniated Discs - A herniated disc is the product of a tear in the outer ring of an intervertebral disc, which is a cartilaginous structure that connects the spinal vertebrae. When a disc is herniated, its exposed center begins to protrude through the outer ring, placing pressure on surrounding nerves.
Sciatica - Sciatica is a pain, tingling, or numbness in the lower back, buttocks, and legs. Though not a medical condition in and of itself, it's a common symptom of other orthopedic disorders.

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS. Read on only if you've already seen "The Walking Dead" Season 5, Episode 7, titled "Crossed."
While I wouldn't necessarily call tonight's episode of "The Walking Dead" filler, it was definitely meant to lead up to next week's main event -- saving Beth and Carol. Thankfully the episode found a perfect balance of action and mystery, which left me fully satisfied (unlike last week).
Although it would have been nice to see Rick and the gang make it to the hospital already, I liked that the episode didn't solely focus on that group. We got to see all of our favourite survivors, despite them being separated. What made this set-up even more interesting was all the groups -- except one -- had a character deceive them.
Let's start with Gabriel. In this episode we get the sense that the pastor is still keeping secrets from us. Earlier this season, we learned that he locks the church doors at night, essentially condemning defenseless people to death. That's why he carries so much guilt. But while that might be the case, Gabriel surprised us all when he told Michonne and Carl that he wasn't feeling well, locked himself in his study, and then proceeded to open a hole in the floorboards so that he could escape the church.
Weird, right? For someone who so desperately fears walkers, why would he leave the safety and protection of the church? My theory is that Gabriel is actually associated with another group and he's been slowly biding his time until he had a chance to get back to them. I'm not sure who they might be, but I have a feeling they'll be trouble.
Next is Dawn. Back at the hospital, Dawn secretly gave Beth the key to the medicine cabinet so that she could attempt to save Carol. This was odd considering Dawn had just decided that they wouldn't waste their resources on her, despite the fact that she's only been there a day. So, can Dawn be trusted?
My first instinct was yes. Before you start thinking I'm crazy, I was basing my opinion on the fact that Dawn's group relies on people "owing" them in order to survive. But after Beth's short chat with Dr. Edwards, I knew it was likely that Dawn was trying to trick her instead. Thankfully Edwards is a good guy and told Beth which medicine to give Carol, despite his uneasiness with the situation.
My theory here is that Dawn is trying to frame Beth for being defiant so that she can get rid of her ASAP. It's obvious she hates the girl. It will be interesting to see how the drama unfolds and to see whether of not Rick and the gang can get to the hospital before the shit hits the fan.
On to Officer Lampson. Also known as Bob (coincidence?), Lampson was one of the three officers Rick and the gang captured as hostages after a mini, but intense, confrontation. Amazingly, Lampson was able to gain Rick's trust, "help" him figure out how to negotiate with Dawn, and escape with minimal effort.
As a viewer, I should have known better than to trust him, but he was too convincing. The sincerity in his voice, his ability to relate to Rick and Sasha, and his genuine care for others were so smoothly played out that I have to applaud him on his trickery. Now that he's successfully messed with Rick's head before his confrontation with Dawn, I can't wait to see how next week's midseason finale plays out.
Next week, there will no doubt be a death (or two, or three) of a character we've come to know. After all, with only one dramatic fatality this season thus far, another is bound to happen sooner or later. The big question is: who will it be?
I hate to say this, but I feel as though Beth's days are numbered. She is in the worst situation out of all the characters and I think her only survival at this point will depend on if Rick and Co. can get to her before Dawn tries something. Let's hope they get there first.
Random Thoughts:
- When Carl told Gabriel to pick a weapon so he could show him how to fight, I totally thought Gabriel was going to try and attack him. Yes, that would have been out of the blue, but that just goes to show how much I don't trust him.
- I loved when Lampson deduced that Rick was once a police officer, based on the way he talked and carried himself, and then asked him about it. This was a nice moment because it was a reminder to Rick (and to us!) about where he came from and where he started.
- Even in a world as bleak as this, why do we keep living? That's the question GREATM (an acronym for Glenn, Rosita, Eugene, Abraham, Tara, and Maggie) dealt with in this episode and I loved it. Compared to the other group's storylines, the message of hope was uplifting as the group continues to face the struggles of the apocalyptic world.
- Did anyone else have an anxiety attack when Daryl was struggling to fight off one of the police officers? I couldn't help but cheer when Daryl knocked him off with a walker head he just happened to tear off in the moment. So amazing.
- Briefly seeing Carl and Michonne in this episode made me miss them. Let's hope they have more of a role in the next half of the season.
"The Walking Dead" airs on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. EST on AMC.

Cannabis Singles Speakeasy presented by Highly Devoted and LoveandMarij
Singles Speakeasy Presented By Highly Devoted and LoveandMarij
By @AngelasAshes420
When it comes to dating and getting to know someone, honesty is always the best policy (coupled with appropriate timing, of course!) and as a long time cannabis consumer, I can recall many instances over my life when I've had to "come clean" about my relationship with the plant to someone new and the anxiety I felt over it. Then there was the absolute relief and instant connection I'd feel when the person I was with admitted that they used cannabis, too. This experience is common for single folks who love ganja, and Molly Peckler, founder of Highly Devoted Coaching, created a space for people to connect romantically with others and enjoy a toke at the inaugural Singles Speakeasy in Los Angeles!
The world we live in is shifting and cannabis friendly professionals are looking for ways to partake with others in social and romantic settings, and Molly's approach to this was perfect. Highly Devoted Coaching partnered with Love and Marij, a Denver-based wedding and high-end event planning business geared towards the cannabis enthusiasts of the world (or at least those in legal areas!) to curate an evening perfect for those looking to connect with other singles and try out new cannabis products. At a gorgeous rooftop location at the very center of Los Angeles, 20 guests were met with gourmet bites by The Herbal Chef, on-site doctor's recommendations with Presto Doctor, and absolutely breathtaking views of just about every LA landmark you can name! Terpene bowls designed to enhance the experience with aromatherapy and visual appeal lined the outdoor space where guests learned about and sampled Evoxe Labs vaporizers that strategically blend cannabis and essential oils to set different moods, depending on what the end user is looking for. A secret hallway space was decked out in fun, black light-enhancing paint and creative fixtures with a cozy lounge area ideal for those who wanted a more intimate setting to spark their connections.
The singles mingled and connected with each other before Molly took the floor and shared her expertise on dating, life coaching, and being a confident cannabis consumer who defies the stoner stigma. Her advice came from years of working with professional clients mixed with her own personal story of bonding with her now-husband over a bowl of cannabis 11 years ago. What I loved most about her advice was that much of it could be applied to a romantic or a professional relationship, particularly when it came to looking for someone with similar values. Afterwards, hand-rolled joints by Sailene were given to guests to spark up and continue the fun and conversations for the rest of the evening. As the night came to a close, guests of the event took home swag bags full of amazing cannabis products like a Kush Queen atomizer, Mind Tricks Toffee edibles, Foria's THC infused lubricant, Pura Vida Health's First Love Gramola edibles, Bhang's medicated chocolate, Sacred Mind & Body's infused Epsom salts and massage oil, a paleo edible from Moonman's Mistress, and many more!
It was so much fun attending this event and learning from the first and only expert of her kind in this industry! It was also a breath of fresh air to see so many professional herb lovers gather together without a primary focus on networking. Highly Devoted and Love and Marij did a job creating a green space for connections to blossom!
This event was only the first of many designed for the sophisticated, cannabis-loving singles crowd. Molly is taking her talents to Denver next and other medical and recreational friendly locations in the coming months.

Hi Carol!
I came across this article and wanted to let you know that Paper Hat Press products are no longer available! Build A Children's Book is a similar company that you might enjoy, which has even more customized options for their books.
I love this! When I was a kid, I could NEVER find anything with my name in/on it. It was too rare. My brother was always able to find his name, though, and I was always so jealous!
This is such a great idea for birthday or christmas presents. I'm pinning this into my christmas idea folder for the kids. I think my kids would love this and it's something they can pass on to future generations.

Re: How to convert String (or Double) to SerialNumber
Coming from QuickBASIC I find CInt() much more misleading for string to number conversion as in QB its only function was to round numeric expressions. In this respect Val() is more consistent in that it is traditionally associated with string to number conversion.

NFL: Jaguars and Nickelodeon Team Up for Florida Blue Family Night
- Updated: July 18, 2016
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Today the Jacksonville Jaguars announced plans for the annual Florida Blue Family Night with Nickelodeon at EverBank Field on Friday, August 5 at 5:30 p.m. The scrimmage is free and open to the public for fans who register in advance at www.jaguars.com/familynight.
The Jaguars are joining forces with Nickelodeon in celebration of its third annual "Road to Worldwide Day of Play" campaign to create the first-ever kid zone built inside the stadium bowl.
Florida Blue Family Night with Nickelodeon will feature Nick-themed games, including a Super Slime obstacle course, Nick bowling, a slime booth, costume characters and more. All kid-friendly activities will be located around the south end zone, including on the sky patio underneath one of the world's largest video boards, providing families the chance to both play and watch practice at the same time.
"Partnering with Nickelodeon gives us the chance to act on our theory that families want to attend games together, but have different needs," said Jaguars Vice President of Marketing and Digital Media Steve Ziff. "We believe that creating a place for kids to play that allows mom and dad to still watch the game will help us attract more families and develop more young Jaguars fans."
Gates will open to all fans at 5:30 p.m. In the Nick Kid Zone, fans can arrive early to play with all of the games, meet Jaxson de Ville and get autographs from the ROAR cheerleaders and Jaguars alumni players.
Discounted concessions will be available, including brand new selections from the 2016 season menu. Following the scrimmage, players will sign autographs along the field walls while the stadium lights are dimmed for a fireworks show. For US Assure Club ticket holders, Florida Blue Family Night will be the first opportunity to watch football and experience all the new features of the two unique, newly-renovated luxury spaces.
"It's exciting to continually enhance the in-stadium experience with new, improved and customized environments for our fans to enjoy," said Jaguars President Mark Lamping. "We're excited to welcome everyone back inside EverBank Field for a night of football and fun for every member of the family."
Parking is available in lots C, D, E, J and P at no charge. Admission to Florida Blue Family Night with Nickelodeon is free, but advanced online registration is required to receive a ticket for entrance. Fans should visit www.jaguars.com/familynight to register.
Nickelodeon kicked off its third annual "Road to Worldwide Day of Play" campaign on May 20, hosting events in six cities, with a record number of kids and partners that encourage kids to get outside and get active.

Nashville set for Women's Final Four, possible clash of unbeatens
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Six years of planning and building come to fruition on Friday when the NCAA Women's Final Four converges on the Music City.
The doubleheader offers a pair of undefeated teams — Notre Dame (36-0) vs. Maryland (28-6) in the opener and defending national champion UConn (38-0) against Stanford (33-3) in the nightcap.
The championship game takes place on Tuesday night (7:30 p.m. CST).
The semifinals are obviously a focal point, but it wasn't always a certainty that Nashville would host this event and its bevy of festivities — even while city leaders were in the process of submitting the bid back in 2008.
As things progressed, Nashville became one of five cities (among eight candidates) to be awarded Final Four sites from 2012-16. But it also came with one mammoth caveat: The $638 million renovation of the Music City Center convention complex, adjacent to Bridgestone Arena, had to be completed.
But Karl Dean, Nashville's new mayor at the time, guaranteed the NCAA the Music City Center would be completed in time for this weekend's five-day festival, including the Women's Basketball Coaches Convention and its 2,000 members and 3,000 attendees (Saturday through Tuesday).
"During the initial bid process, the Music City Center was in the final stages of being approved by the Metro Council for construction," said Nashville Sports Council executive director Scott Ramsey, who led the city's bid. "Mayor Dean was very active on the bid with the NCAA by saying that it would be done on time.
"Having the Music City Center was a mandatory element for us to be able to even make a bid."
There's more to hosting than just the Music City Center and its 16 acres that cover four square blocks of downtown Nashville.
Then again, having a facility with 2.1 million overall square footage, 1.2 million public square footage and 350,000 square feet of meeting space allows for "Tourney Town" â a free fan festival that runs Saturday (9 a.m. to 7 p.m.), Sunday (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Tuesday (3-7 p.m.)
Along with the three games, Tourney Town is the highlight of the five-day confab. Other featured events include a Salute on Tour Parade of Teams, featuring the Final Four squads at historic Ryman Auditorium Friday night, a 4KAY run Saturday morning honoring the late North Carolina State basketball coach Kay Yow, an NCAA Battle of the Bands Saturday night, and concerts by various artists at different downtown venues, to highlight a few of many planned events.
"It's an enormous college sports event," Dean said. "And it's probably the largest women's sports event we could host here in Nashville, so we're really honored that it is going to be here. On top of that, you have the national exposure for the city as a destination and a tourist location. You can't buy that.
"One of the things Nashville does well is large events."
Nashville, one of the country's hottest tourist cities, is a natural mecca for entertainment, especially country music. But sporting-wise, Nashville annually hosts the Country Music Marathon, the second-largest marathon event in the country, and the Music City Bowl college football game.
It is also home to the NFL's Tennessee Titans and NHL's Nashville Predators.
Nashville was recently tabbed as the SEC's primary locale for conference basketball tournaments. From 2015-26, the men's hoops tournament will be here nine times and the women's tournament three times.
"Nashville has long been a valued partner of the Southeastern Conference," SEC commissioner Mike Slive said at the time of the announcement, "and we are pleased to establish this long-term agreement that will benefit our men's and women's basketball tournament. Nashville, as a proven host, provides SEC teams and fans with a wonderful experience."
The Nashville-based Ohio Valley Conference is the host league for the tournament and has been involved with the Nashville Sports Council and the city in planning and managing Final Four events from its early stages.
More than 2,000 volunteers have been enlisted.
"The Final Four means so very much," said OVC commissioner Beth DeBauche, one of seven female commissioners among 32 NCAA Division I conferences. "It is a privilege and an honor for our conference. It is a great opportunity to enhance our brand image and to show nationally what we can do as a league."
DeBauche has been involved in various events surrounding the Final Four that involves interactivity within the community. That includes legacy programs designed to educate youths on the benefits of academics and athletics, a women in media conference and a project highlighting value of the arts.
"We've really tried to leave a lasting legacy once the Final Four is over and has made its mark in this community," DeBauche said. "The level of commitment from the city, civic leadership, volunteers, our conference and so many people has been quite remarkable."
Mainly, downtown Nashville and its historic honky tonks, restaurants, hotels and multiple tourist options are primary selling points for such an event. For those who stay downtown, visitors can arrive, take in all the festivities and depart without ever needing a vehicle.
"Our problem is not selling out the hotel rooms," Dean said. "It's how many hotel rooms we've got. We need more. People want to be here. This is a top destination."
For those watching the Final Four on television, Ramsey feels the full magnitude of the five-day gathering cannot be fully appreciated.
"We have had some big events in Nashville," Ramsey said, noting the annual Country Music Association Music Festival each June that attracts 80,000 visitors among other events. "But the Women's Final Four is a little different.
"When you crown a national champion in your city, that is really special."

Lawyers for the son and eldest daughter of Ted Williams stepped up to the plate yesterday to try to reach a compromise over the fate of the Hall of Famer's frozen corpse – and end the cold war between the siblings.
The warring Williams' kids hope they can reach a deal to avoid a judge deciding the fate of the Splendid Splinter's remains, an estate source said.
But reaching a compromise could be tougher than joining the 3,000-hit club. John Henry Williams wants his father cryonically frozen in hopes he can someday be revived while his half-sister, Bobby-Jo Williams Ferrell, wants him cremated.
The estate's attorneys were expected to ask that a judge decide the issue when they file Williams' will. The deadline for filing under Florida law was yesterday, although such deadlines are rarely enforced.
The bitter feud between John Henry Williams and his sibling erupted hours after the slugger died July 5, with the two sides firing beanballs at one another in the media.
The slugger's son had the body flown almost immediately to a cryonics lab in Arizona to be frozen. Ferrell says their father always wanted to be cremated and have his ashes scattered over the Florida Keys.
Cryonics advocates claim science might one day be able to thaw a body, cure whatever killed the person and restore life.
Ferrell has also charged that her half-brother wants to sell their father's DNA for souvenirs.
Her lawyer has told reporters that the estate's attorneys told him Williams wanted to be cremated. The lawyer, John Heer, could not be reached for comment. Nor could John Henry Williams' lawyer.
Meanwhile, Claudia Williams, the slugger's youngest child, broke her silence for the first time and spoke of her family's 'anguish."
'Our family's actions in the days since my father's passing have been motivated by our abiding love and devotion for our father and our grief and anguish at his passing," she said in a statement.
Claudia Williams hasn't publicly said what she wants done with her father's body, although it has been reported she is going to bat for her brother. John Henry once sued Claudia for selling their father's autographed bats.
Usually, if a will doesn't specify what should be done with the body, the next of kin has the right to make that decision. In this case, though, John Henry Williams and Ferrell have equal standing.

Quick Tip from WebAIM – Mobile Keyboard Accessibility
The recent WebAIM screen reader user survey results show that over 40% of respondents always, often, or sometimes used a keyboard when using a mobile device. Mobile apps and mobile web content are often considered to be touch-only. This often results in keyboard accessibility being overlooked and rarely tested – mobile menus, in particular, are often not keyboard accessible. Because many users on mobile devices may be using a keyboard, be sure to consider and test keyboard accessibility in your mobile content.

It is now widely accepted that international human rights law applies in situations of armed conflict alongside international humanitarian law, but the contours and consequences of this development remain unclear. This book revisits, organizes and contextualizes the debate on human rights in armed conflict and explores the legal challenges, operational consequences and policy implications of resorting to human rights in situations of inter- and intra-state violence. It presents the benefits and the drawbacks of using international human rights law alongside humanitarian law and discusses how the idea, law and policy of human rights influence the development of the law of armed conflict. Based on legal theory, policy analysis, state practice and the work of human rights bodies, it suggests a human rights-oriented reading of the law of armed conflict as feasible and necessary in response to the changing character of war.Read more

Joshua reports calm and clear skies and that everyone is tucked in except for Marty who turned around with Travis to Camp 1. Travis was experiencing mild AMS symptoms which is quite common up here and the safety measures are to retreat till he adjusts. Most the time a retreat to the elevation the climbers was last feeling good for one more night is all that's needed to kick start the body in to acclimatizing to the new altitudes. He'll be fine, he's already been to C2 without problems, he'll just back by one day and that's all good, Marty is with him and high winds that were showing on the 28th now show backing off till a little later so they'll have time still to get their C3 rotation in. I can hear the wind up high so as reports would have it, it's kicking up at 8000m and above.
Camp 3 (7300m):
Tomorrow Palden and Tashi Sherpa who work with us year after year on all our Himalayan expeditions will be heading up to fix camp while our team takes one rest day at Camp 2. The next day the team members will move up to Camp 3 and hang out for the day to allow time for their bodies to adjust to this altitude.
South Col (7900m) Camp 4:
The fixing team will rest tomorrow then fix to the South Col on the 28th. The weather reports look spot on to play into our annual fixing to the summit dates of around May 2 or 3.... perfect!
Rescue Kits and more... There's a lot of organizing going on between some of the regular teams this year. We've been establishing rescue kits to cover all camps on the mountain, no more having to beg borrow and steal equipment should something go down. Between all the mountain guides here on Everest we've got the mountain well covered. Today I took over a rope rescue kit to IMG who's collecting things that will go up to Camp 3. It looks like Mountain Trip, Himex, Peak Freaks and IMG have it covered while Georgie at Patagonia Brothers keeps all the lists coordinated for everyone.
I thought everyone following at home might enjoy a map of our little village here at base camp that I prepared for another reason. When I was out instigating the first leaders meeting of the season I thought it would be a good opportunity to map our village.
Well that's it for tonight, everyone is sound asleep now or trying to, so I'll sign off till tomorrow. Over and out ... Tim

So, I am still sick. I pretty much have had a cold for the last 2 months. I am so tired of it! For me life has to still go on despite not feeling perfect, so I am trying to find a good balance of health and work. This is particularly difficult during the holidays because I have more scheduled than I normally do. For instance, this week I volunteered for Festival of Trees on Wednesday and Thursday, plus I have work, 2 lunch dates with girlfriends, the Messiah Sing-In and I am practicing my recital piece tomorrow (We will see if I perform in the recital. Hopefully I will have a voice on the 19th!). In addition, on the 14th I am going to Vegas to visit my friend Julia. I just have to get better- completely better! I went to the doctors on Monday and started to cry. Needless to say the doctor didn't have much sympathy for me and diagnosed me with the same lame virus. Oh well, at least he did not misdiagnose.
Please excuse the complaining of the previous paragraph. I am still trying to have a good time and be happy, it's just hard when you don't feel great. Since I have been sick (and its been a thin time for TV) I have been reading up a storm and wanted to share a quote I found in the book I am currently reading called One of Ours by Willa Cather. It is very good so far. It is about a boy named Claude who grows up in a home that doesn't communicate and is very poor. In describing Claude, Willa Cather says:
"He is not so much afraid of loneliness as he is of accepting cheap substitutes; of making excuses to himself for a teacher who flatters him, of admiring a girl merely because she is accessible. He has a dread of easy compromises, and he is terribly afraid of being fooled"
Isn't that a good quote? It sums up a certain side of myself. I fear more the temptation to settle for mediocrity than the larger fall from grace. That's all for today. I just wanted to share that thought and complain a little bit about being sick! Thanks for putting up with me!

When you call yourself a writer, and you feel a great pain, you know nothing else but to return to the proverbial pen and paper and cast your thoughts and fears and anxieties and hope into words.
I've been itching all day to get to the screen. I wanted to be the hope. I wanted to say how I can be a model for my daughter. I wanted to say that Love always wins. I wanted to incite strength and support and unity and bravery. I wanted to Raise up and Shine for you.
But I can't seem to do that today. It just all seems too hard.
In the moments between election disappointment and little feet coming down the stairs to greet me for the day, I pondered my words to my daughter. It had to be good. I was going to teach her to be strong. I was going to teach her kindness and compassion. I was going to teach her to stay positive and to love even when it seems hard.
But she came down so darn happy. I told her the news and said some nonsense that stumbled out of my mouth, clearly unprepared for this speech. To say she was bummed pretty much sums it up "so a girl won't be president? Oh man," and then she moved on to breakfast. "Let's have smoothies today!" Away she went, humming through her morning, gabbing about her dreams (ice cream!), anticipating the day ahead of her (a school day!) I couldn't seem to figure out how to break into her happy world to comfort her because she seemed to be doing just fine.
This isn't a girl worried about her future. She isn't concerned who her positive role models might be. She isn't living in fear of bullies or hatred.
She isn't feeling any of this because of one mighty factor.
She is loved. And she knows it.
Every single day from her friends to her teachers to her family to her heavenly father she is reminded of those who fill her with love. And most importantly, she receives this from me.
I am the reason she does not need to fear. She is already loved by me, and her dad, and most importantly, our God.
It's really that easy. I know that it is. Just show love. Show love to our children and they will show love to others. We are taught this in our churches, we are taught this in our schools, and we are taught this by our parents.
So why does it feel so hard?
Why does it feel like such a mighty task?
I refuse to believe nearly half the country voted the way they did because of just hate. I care too much for people to believe in that much hate. Fear played a major part in that. People have spoken and their voices sound like fear.
But love conquers fear. So if we can just bring a little more of that, we all win, right?
But today, it just feels so hard. I know I need to rise up. I know I need to keep loving. I know more and more people just need to hear and see and feel love.
But when you have a child, suddenly the risks are greater. Suddenly you want this love to be bigger than the universe, stronger than the mountain, more powerful than all of the hurricanes that come her way. You need this love to be so very big for your child so it doesn't just carry them but it carries every child.
And when you think that way, it's heavy. The challenge feels too great. How do I possibly champion for love time after time after time only to feel so much further behind? I have to do this for my daughter! Her future depends on it. That precious happiness and joy I see her living each day cannot last forever if we keep falling to fear instead of love. It is my duty and if I can't do it, I have failed her.
You know that feeling when you have had a really bad day and you know if you could just get a hug from your mom or your dad you would feel a little bit better? If you could just hear the strength and fight in your mother's strong female voice you would know you had an ally. If you could just understand the peaceful and diplomatic character of your father's ability to battle against negativity you could regain your footing to stay strong and positive. I needed that today. But alas my parents are out of the country (lucky them.)
Instead, I turned elsewhere. When lost, we look to our great leaders, and I took some comfort in a couple of my favorite role models this morning.
With steadfast character and fortitude, Hillary's concession filled me with enough fight to stay strong to my convictions. I could her my mom "Amen" ing to that in her Baptist sort of way.
And with the same grace and mindfulness I hear from my father, Obama reminded us that sometimes this is hard. Facing adversity, fighting for what is right, standing up for those who can't stand up for themselves, caring for all the people we are called to love. That is hard. But in politics and in parenting and in human living, we have to keep doing the hard things.
And we have to keep showing love.
It occurred to me in going through this reflection, that while it may seem like a mighty task, to be the champion of love for my child's future, if my own parents can do it, if they can be the light I look to for guidance and support and love, surely that is all my children need. They need me to love them. They need me to show them how to love. They need me to read them the stories of love and hope and character and strength. And they need me to remind them every day that they possess these qualities too.
Today I admit this is hard. Being a mom, being a woman, being a Christian, being an American. It's all hard. And we will keep making mistakes. But we'll try harder the next time. And it will always be worth it.
They are most definitely worth it.

I had a problem with leafminers on the leaves of my tomato plants this year. Is there something that I can do to prevent or treat them in the future?
Leafminers can be tricky to control in the home garden. Evidenced by white, serpentine, "wiggle" marks in leaves, the larvae of the leafminers burrow between the leaf layers or membranes of the leaves of tomatoes and other plants, which in effect protect them from contact insecticides. You can check your local garden stores for a systemic insecticide labeled for use on leafminers. Follow label directions for precise timing of applications. In the future, when using transplants to start your tomatoes, check the leaves for evidence of this insect before purchasing your plants. As a general rule, leafminer damage is mostly cosmetic. Some research indicates that leafminer damage can affect up to 60 percent of the plant's foliage without affecting the fruit quality. You can prune out and discard the most affected parts of the plant to help control the insect. There are some parasitic wasps that help control the population as well. For next year's crop, you can double dig or turn your soil several times as adult leafminers do not emerge well when buried. For this same reason, use mulch around your tomatoes to keep the adults from rising to the occasion.
Can we grow radicchio in our area?
Radicchio hails from Italy and is in the chicory family. It is a mildly bitter tasting, red leafy vegetable, and grows similar to cabbage. It makes a nice addition to salads and can be roasted or sauteed in olive oil. Like cabbage, radicchio is a cool season plant. Plant seeds beginning in late August through late February. It prefers frequent, but not deep, watering. Infrequent watering can lead to a more bitter tasting plant. The plants usually mature in about three months. My research says it is common to get two or more harvests from a single planting. Cut off the head just above the root and a smaller, new head will emerge. Plants should be protected in heavy frosts or freezes.
I would like to purge some turf in my landscape. What do you think about using wedelia as a groundcover?
Once recommended as a suitable groundcover for Florida landscapes, wedelia has now been placed in the Category II invasive list of plants for Florida.
Translation: Avoid planting this in your landscape. It seems to be especially problematic in the southern parts of the state. Its fast growth habit can present an agricultural nightmare in some areas. Reducing turf areas in your landscape can have many benefits. For suggestions of suitable groundcovers, go to solutionsforyourlife.com and use the search box to find the publication: Groundcovers for Florida Homes.
There are dozens of black and yellow striped caterpillars with red feet that are devouring the leaves of my azaleas. How can I get rid of them?
I think it is safe to say that you have identified a common annual visitor to azalea shrubs: the azalea caterpillar. The IO caterpillar, a stinging caterpillar, also feeds on azaleas, but has yellowish or green spines with a red and white stripe running lengthwise on its body. Azalea caterpillars are found in our area from July through early fall. Unfortunately it does much of its damage during the early stages of its larval (caterpillar) development before it is detected in its mature stage of a 2 inch caterpillar. This colorful insect looks a bit intimidating, but it is harmless and can be handpicked and disposed of to avoid further damage and reproduction. If you would rather not handpick these critters, or you feel you have too many to handle, you can treat them with Bt or Bacillus thurigiensis, the active ingredient found in Dipel or Thuricide. Bacillus thurigiensis is a microbial insecticide also known as a biological control agent. We often recommend this product for specific treatment of caterpillars because of its low toxicity to humans and non-target insects. Follow the label when applying and avoid spraying Bt in areas where you are trying to attract butterflies, as it is harmful to butterfly larvae.
