Snow Covered NYE Wedding | Katelyn + Andrew
When I first met with Katelyn and Andrew several months ago and learned the details of their NYE wedding day, Katelyn said to me "Wouldn't it be just awesome if there was snow on the ground!?" - and so it was, friends.
Days before their wedding day snow fell all around, piled up and melted little. K+A were blessed with incredible weather, chilly - but oh so beautifully sunny. The gorgeous light reflected off that bright white snow and gave them one of the most picturesque backgrounds for photos I've ever seen.
Deer Creek Golf Club offered the perfect space for this lovely wedding. Katelyn, Andrew and their families+friends came together for an 8:30pm ceremony with plans to ring in the new year together afterwards.
Katelyn's Mom and precious sisters helped her into her gorgeous gown, while her sweet friends watched with tear-filled eyes. Andrew's brother and buddies offered him encouragement with a few jabs and jokes while he got himself ready to see his bride.
Out in that incredible light with snow all around, these two saw each other for a first look that was so emotionally charged and so perfect. Andrew's joy was off the charts. They fell immediately into each other's arms, and then straight into emotional and love-filled portraits together.
When the ceremony started, Katelyn and her sweet Dad came through that white curtain and down that candlelit aisle to a guy who couldn't wait to promise that girl forever. Vows were spoken, promises made. They did communion together, and exchanged wedding rings. Announced as husband + wife, with cheers and clapping all around.
Katelyn & Andrew - Thank you so much for giving me the privilege of documenting your perfect wedding day. You were such a joy to work with, and to be around. It's without a doubt that you two have a wonderful and deep-rooted love together, and I couldn't be happier for you :)

Our Favorite 2018 Trends
Here in the south, we tend to love traditions however lately we have seen a few of our couples shaking it up a little by embracing the new wedding trends. We absolutely LOVE it. From unique tablescapes to first look with dad we can't help but fall in love with these new trends. Here are a few of our favorites.
Lanterns as Aisle Decor
Lanterns as aisle markers is genius. It is the perfect combination of rustic and elegant. It is the perfect amount of decor without going overboard. We also love the floral aisle markers as well. We seem to see more of our brides using lanterns and florals to bring in more romance to the ceremony.
Colorful Arrangements
First Look with Dad, Mom and Bridesmaids.
This new trend has us tearing up. There is just something so special about when a dad or mom sees their little girl all dressed up for the first time after months of hard planning there is such raw happy emotion that comes with this trend. Pack some tissues. Also, who doesn't love when the bride tribe sees their girl for the first time.
Vintage Seating Lounge
Hello Gorgeous! Did I mention we have vintage furniture for rent? That is how much we love this trend. I mean what bride doesn't want their photo on a tufted velour couch from the 70s.
Four-legged Member of the Wedding Party
A dog in a bow tie. YES!!! We have yet to have the groom call his dog bearer to him with the rings during the ceremony, but we are so ready! This is by far the cutest trend! I mean look at that sweet pup, he is adorable.
Floral Bridesmaid Robes
The floral robes are perfect for our boho brides. The getting ready photos are some of our favorites. Also what a great bridesmaid gift.
Alone Time for the Bride & Groom
After the ceremony, it is hard to have any alone time with your groom or bride. However, this new trend gives you a little time to cherish the day and take it all in. Plus we love the raw emotion the photographer captures during this time.
Georgia Weddings in the Snow.
Last but not least. Our personal favorite getting married in the snow.... in GEORGIA! We never thought we would see the day. Our beautiful winter bride.

GPS Dog Tracker
Why should you consider a dog tracker ? Being members of many hiking and walking groups on Facebook, we hear lots of horrible stories where owners dogs have gone missing. Over the summer months, I've personally read about 3 such occurrences, and each one is heartbreaking. However, I must mention that the effort that the hiking and walking community put into searching for and finding our missing 'friends' is also very heartwarming and commendable.
We have a beagle puppy called Elsie and this breed of dog can be notoriously bad to train. They can be very difficult to get to return to their owner once they get a sniff of something more interesting, and to be honest when you are a beagle, everything else is more interesting.
Before anyone says that lack of recall is down to bad training then we suggest they probably get themselves a beagle and try it first hand. We have Sprocker spaniel puppy that we got as a friend for the Beagle and to try and help with the training. Even at 12 weeks old we can get the Sprocker to come Back to us for a treat, but not the beagle (who is also still a pup).
Now we all understand that in order for a GPS dog tracker to function you need to have GPS signal (and mobile signal for live tracking), and in rural parts of the country that can be non-existent. However these little guys are members of the family, so the slightest chance of finding them and getting them back home safe has certainly got to be worth it.
There are a number of pet tracking devices on the UK market and we took the decision to give the Tractive GPS tracker a try as it seems reasonably priced. It also seemed very robust and would suit our needs more than its competitors. It did have some positive and negative reviews, but we thought that we would give it a thorough testing and tell you guys all about our honest findings so you can make a more informed decision.
When you open the Tractive box, you will see a white pill (the dog tracker) which is attached to the dogs collar via a clip (two are included). Also included is a charger so you can so you can keep the tracker fully charged at all times. Here's the unboxing video >> https://youtu.be/Yv3DlvoAxy0
There are many cheap so-called GPS trackers available on eBay and Amazon but nearly all of these only work via Bluetooth. That means that they only track over a very limited range of 100m or less. This is no good if your dog has escaped and is way out of your sight, and reach of your phones Bluetooth – AVOID THEM.
The Tractive dog tracker works off GPS, where satellites around the globe can pinpoint your dogs location (same as TOMTOM SATNAV). It can also be operated in real time (live tracking) via the mobile phone app, so you can see where your dog is at that moment and go find them. We've done a video on this and you can see live-tracking working here >> https://youtu.be/-ETetSTyyRI
There is a button on the front of the tracker, next to an LED. One long press on the the button either turns it on or off. Then LED will either show red (off) or green (on). When it is on, the LED will blink white to show that it is active.
The Tractive app is available for free from the Google Play and Apple App Stores. We've done a video showing how to set up the app and register your pet.
We found it to be very easy to set up and register, you will need to then decide which level of subscription (service plan) you require. There are three levels, BASIC, PREMIUM and PREMIUM with Tractive CARE. We just have the BASIC subscription which costs £3.33 per month. The other subscriptions give more information and retain 'position history' for longer than the 24hrs on the BASIC.
Once the app is set up, then you are ready to go. It's quite quick and painless.
Another useful feature of this particular tracking device is that you can set up a virtual safety zone, whereby if the animal leaves that location then you get a notification. This could be set up to be around your home or anywhere where the dog should be staying.
We've taken Elsie out on many walks with the Tractive fitted before we wrote anything about it. Testing it in the real world is the most important thing, and we wanted to give an unbiased and honest review of our experiences so you can make a more informed decision.
Our experiences with this dog tracker have been very positive and I have not worries about recommending it for use on your valued companion(s). However, like all responsible owners, you shouldn't rely solely on any pet tracking device as it is not a substitute for putting the effort in to knowing and training your dog.
1 – How robust is the Tractive?
The clip arrangement on the tracker is much stronger than it looks looks. I feel that it would be very difficult for it to come off the dog by accident. Elsie (like most dogs) loves trees and sniffing around bushes, and we have had no problems with it coming loose or getting tangled on branches. Elsie and George love to play fight with each other when out, and they don't hold back. There is a lot of running, rolling around, knocking each other over and close-quarters 'ruff-n-tumble' and the Tractive has remained securely in place on the collar throughout all of this
2 – How water resistant is the Tractive?
Although Elsie doesn't venture into deep water (yet), we recently had some very heavy and deep snow that the dogs enjoyed playing in. On 4 of occasions now, the Tractive has been soaking wet from snow or rain and has continued to operate without any problems. When I've taken the Tractive off Elsie, it has been soaking wet on the outside, but working fine and just needing a wipe off ready for the next adventure.
3 – How accurate is the Tractive?
From our tests, we have found the Tractive to be accurate to within a few metres. With regard to the 'Live-Tracking', sometimes it can lag a little. It sometimes takes 30 seconds to a minute to catch up to the actual location, but on the whole it has been very accurate and provides very useful information.
When I started writing this article, I stated that we would never let Elsie off her lead because of advice we had been given about the nature of her breeds (Beagle) temperament.
Well, things have changed slightly – Since testing the Tractive tracker, it has given us the confidence to let Elsie off her lead and train her to come back (recall). We are training Elsie to improve her 'recall' by getting her to go and come back when we call her and rewarding her with treats. Having the Tractive on her gives us the confidence to let her off the lead (to train her), knowing that if she does decide to disappear then we have a much better chance of finding her.
Watching her and George running and playing together is a great reward for the effort we continue to put into their training. So for that alone, we have to thank Tractive.

'Every time we come here she falls asleep, she's so relaxed.'
'I loved the friends we made – our little community.'
'I loved being allowed to be crazy with my kids.'
'I learnt relaxation tips for my bubs.'
Slow-dancing cheek-to-cheek with babies. A chinwag. Followed by a lie down and a cup of tea. Sound good?
Now in its 4th year, Baby Choir is a weekly, 45-minute drop-in session that uses voice, touch, movement, music and mindfulness to strengthen the bonds between parent and child at a time when families can be at their most vulnerable – in the early years of parenthood.
A unique collaboration with Banyule Community Health in West Heidelberg, Baby Choir saw over 60 babies, toddlers, and their grown-ups, wriggle, jiggle, dance and dribble their way through a relaxed program delivered by Kids Thrive artist Andrea Rieniets and maternal and child health nurses Elischka Sageman and Sharleen Cook.
Baby Choir creates an environment where grown-ups are guided to build intuitive bonds with their baby, make social connections with people from the wider community, and provides enhanced access to further health and social services provided by Banyule Community Health.
This year we introduced '3 Tiny Tips in 3 Minutes', where a children's specialist from fields such as dentistry and nutrition through to podiatry and psychology joined in the session each week, and then had 3 minutes to share their top 3 tips with parents and carers. After the workshops they would stay for cups of tea to provide one-on-one advice and answer questions with parents. This innovative, yet simple addition to the program has seen increased awareness and uptake of other health services by participants. It's a pressurised gig though: slip over 3 minutes and right on cue the toddlers start using the chairs as lino-mowers, emitting an ear-splitting screech. You cannot fool a 2-year-old.

Economics may sound like a dry subject , but I went ahead to study for the love of it, and I'm glad to do so. From my experience I can point out at least 10 things that makes Economics exciting.
1. It's an amazing opportunity to understand how markets work, countries work, money moves, government runs and development happens
2. You don't have to worry about being top in everything, you can choose what you like – development theories, international trade, political theories, econometric and more
3. You don't have to be an expert in Maths – just a basic knowledge would do, to analyze the trends and see the possibilities.
4. There is nothing wrong or right in economics – as theories are made on assumptions, and you can always create one more
5. It is a great platform to understand the integrated roles of money, assets, politics, society, environment, maths etc
6. Thanks to the Crisis, it is popular way to see what went wrong, how it went wrong and how can we correct it
7. It is a great way to increase the amount of reading you do – trust me, it's huge !
8. You interact with some great minds and gather various opinions
9. You become more tolerant to other subjects as you see their relevance in yours
10. You are free to choose your view as no one says that you cannot critique or follow blindly

The beginning comes from the last few notes of the flute solo at the end of the piece. It is played on the vibraphone. The flute enters at about 1:08 (3rd system in this picture). I'm not sure yet how the piece will begin when it is a flute solo, but probably a shortened arrangement of this vibraphone material (probably will take advantage of the 9th multiphonic--with flutter tonguing on the long notes).
As with the previous post, this is only a sketch.

Every child in our class is a "Slumdog Millionair". They were not waiting around to win the lottery to get out of the slums, they earned their smiles by making a choice in life! They choose to find happiness regardless of the outside circumstances that are out of their control. They are millionaires of love! You can feel it in their joy and see it in their art! This last week the youth drew their designs, made their mosaics and painted their backgrounds without anyone telling them they cannot do something. They took the opportunity to truly express their freedom with flying colors. Two girls decided to make a mosaic of Gandhi with a walking stick, another group made the Olympic torch that never goes out; two boys made a robot with arms that are water spouts, one for hot water and one for cold water. A dolphin, a boat, a guitar, an octopus, an eagle, a duck, a dragon and Pikachu exploded out of their imaginations. It was deeply touching to feel them explore freedom in the mind and heart through art!
One day we taught the youth about positive and negative space. They understood so quickly that they began teaching the adults. It's a beautiful thing when adults are open to learn from the youth. Together in class we drew out stencils on the packing cardboard of the textile industry. These stencils proved to be the staple that flowed through all the art of this project. We used the kids stencils on the backgrounds of the mosaics from the first week to create atmosphere, the youth used some of them in their compositions the second week and we even used their stencils on the huge elephant in the large mural. The kids would point to their stencils painted on the wall and say, "That's mine, thats mine!" Whenever we needed to fix a cardboard stencil or make a new one, or even cut a papaya, we turned to Robert Markey because we always knew he would have a utility blade in his back pocket.
The large mural was a magnet for dedicated creatives and mission oriented volunteers. Those who loved art and kids showed up and together we took the design to the next level! The tree of wisdom is growing from the mother elephant's head with a golden sun behind it. Elephants live up to one hundred years and you feel their wisdom and compassion in their eyes. They nurture their young and lions will not even dare to attack them. This symbolizes that every child in the school, in the slums and in the world deserve to feel safe and loved. The peacock transforming into the woman represents the beauty of the divine feminine and that we need to respect women… without them we would not be alive. The dancer is the traditional dance of Gujarat and she is in the peacock pose. Her dress flows out into peacock feathers. The lotus flower rests upon her joy for dance. The hummingbird represents the vibration of mother nature's soul and the reminder to suck the sweet nectar from the flower of life… and be playful! The mandala flowers were painted by both kids and volunteers. We finished the painting late into the eve after 15 hours of painting straight. It was soooo worth it!
Over the course of the final week in Surat we returned to a school that we had taught an art class to the first day we arrived and painted together. As promised, we also returned to the street school and painted a wall under the car headlights. The kids were ecstatic and it was an experience to never forget! We had countless amazing dinners and rolled in laughter. There are no words to describe how amazing the hospitality was from all of thePathshala NGO… we were invited by the families of almost every single volunteer. All the materials that we needed, fruit that would keep us going, electrical adapters… everything we required to be of service to the youth, Pathshala provided and if they did not know how to get it, like an extra ladder at 8 pm, they found a way! Tons of tiles are left unused and now all the volunteers and the kids we worked with know how to Mosaic and Pathshala has decided to continue the painting and mosaic in the future and assures the sustainability of FREE EXPRESSION! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU!!! None of this would have happened without you. We will miss the motorcycle rides, the laughter, the fun, the conversations AND the dancing! And to all the kids… you rock! We learned so much from all of you and you are forever in our hearts. It was such a beautiful last day sharing the stories of what has touched all of us in the last two weeks… it was a lifetime of good memories!!! See you next time!!! Photos by Mahendra Thanvi

I'm alright if you ask me
but you never do
is this thing on?
I'm coming at you
from the side of delicate now
"French Press", off Melbourne-based Rolling Blackouts Costal Fever's latest EP, is the kind of song that would have hooked me hard and fast when I was in High School. Back then I walked a line between hard punk rock, wave and the softer, more polished work of bands like The Style Council and Crowded House. Their bio describes them as "tough pop/soft punk" and I think that works well. Regardless, I'm glad I found them and would like to thank them for the throwback to the good old days.

Canada's Only
Independent Mortgage Website
In Vancouver proper, which encompasses the downtown area and some of the most exclusive neighborhoods, owning a house can be more lucrative than working a job.
A single-family home appreciated nearly $600,000 on average last year, according to Jens von Bergmann, a mathematician and founder of MountainMath Software, a Vancouver-based data analysis and visualization company. As a group, the value of properties in the area surged by $47bn, which is more than double the cumulative take-home income of Vancouver's residents.
The city is just one among an array of cosmopolitan global cities where the appreciation in real estate values is seemingly unstoppable. British Columbia's largest city has seen home prices gain 5% since March, the biggest three-month increase since 1990.
Vancouver's resilient house prices demonstrate just how hard it is for policymakers to control runaway real estate prices. Despite a succession of tightening measures by the government, including a 15% tax on foreign buyers, the price of a typical detached house shot to a record $1.6m in July.
"It's obviously very frustrating for local residents, but I don't see that buying interest going away anytime soon," Frank Giustra, a mining and film magnate based in Vancouver, told the Financial Post in an interview. "All this free money has driven assets through the roof in Beverly Hills, London, Paris, all these desirable places."
While the BC government's 15% tax on foreign buyers had an immediate effect on foreign investment in the city, it did not make an impact on prices. In fact, the cost of a typical home fell no more than 4% before resuming its upward trajectory, according to figures from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV).
According to many analysts, this indicates that Canadians, as much as foreign investors, are doing their part to inflate house prices. The price of a typical detached house in Vancouver rose 69% in the five years through July, compared with a return of 51% for the S&P/TSX Composite Index, Canada's benchmark equity index, and 7.6% for Canadian government bonds.
Roughly 41% of baby boomers said home equity made up more than 60% of their household wealth, according to a survey by Manulife Bank. For 21% of this generational cohort, it made up more than 80% of their household wealth.

JAMS users commonly login and browse the JAMS Web Client through JSON Web Token (JWT) Authentication. Beginning with V7, the JAMS Web Client also supports Windows Integrated Authentication as an alternative to JWT Authentication.
How to enable Windows Authentication in the JAMS Web Client
- Add/Install Windows Integrated Authentication to the IIS Server, enable it on IIS, and disable Anonymous Authentication using one of the following links:
- Locate the web.config file in the JAMS Web Client directory.
- Look for key="AuthClassName" with the parent <appSettings file="Common.config"> tag.
- Change value="MVPSI.JAMS.Auth.AuthProviderActiveDirectory" to value="MVPSI.JAMS.Auth.AuthProviderWindowsIntegrated".
- Look for the <authentication mode="None" /> tag in the parent <system.web> and change it to <authentication mode="Windows" />
- Save the file.
- In the IIS Authentication Module, Disable Anonymous Authentication
- In the IIS Authentication Module, Enable Windows Authentication
- Restart your IIS server.
- When you are back online, log into Windows.
Once you follow the above steps, the JAMS Web Client will load and bypass the Login Page. As long as you are logged into Windows when you launch the Web Client, JAMS will authenticate your Windows credentials.

Spirit rebound from thrashing to grab win
IF THE result of the second of two WNBL practice matches against Perth Lynx on the weekend is any guide, Bendigo Spirit will prove itself as a fast learner this season.
The Spirit were humbled by the highly-touted Lynx in Saturday's match in Northam, about 100 kilometres north-east of Perth.
Less than 24 hours later – and at Rockingham, about 50 kilometres south of Perth – the Spirit staged a remarkable revival to win by three points.
Pritchard did not mince his words when he said the Spirit had 'played woefully' in their 31 point loss on Saturday.
"We were miserable all over the floor … really out of sync," he said.
"That was their first pre-season game and they really got stuck into us and we didn't adapt to the intensity and physicality of the contest.
"They were all over us and in our face and gave us no space whatsoever anywhere on the floor.
"Credit to Perth they forced us right out of rhythm. The first quarter score was 33-11 – they just pasted us."
Pritchard said a disappointing loss had resulted in much soul searching from both coach and players, but steeled the group ahead of its 10am Sunday clash at Rockingham.
With seven-time WNBL championship player Nat Hurst, shooting guard Marena Whittle and Abbey Wehrung back on their game, the Spirit responded with resilience to topple the Lynx by three.
"We came out with a whole different mindset and much more intensity and put the pressure right back on them," Pritchard said.
"We played with much greater poise and communicated much better.
"The change in approach was brilliant – we obviously didn't get any more skilful in our sleep – but we applied ourselves well, particularly defensively."
The Spirit headed west without forward Louella Tomlinson, who continues to battle a knee injury ahead of this Saturday's season opener against Melbourne Boomers at the State Basketball Centre.
Facing a race against time to catch their flight back to Melbourne, Hurst exited the game at three quarter time, while the bench was cleared with five minutes still remaining in the contest.
"The weekend as a whole showed we can deal with the hardship of travel, short turn-around, which happens on the road," said Pritchard.
"There was a great deal of learning and the team is much better for it."
The Spirit ended the pre-season at 4-4.

If you are someone who had to stop their higher studies for whatever reason or had to pull out in the middle, then this article is something that will definitely help you in terms of you getting back on track. There are many things that you have to bear in mind when it comes to continuing your higher studies or for a lack of better words, re-starting your higher studies. It can become extremely tiring, especially if you have fallen out of it and therefore, it is important that you are ready to start the journey again. Here are some tips you can use.
Decide the Path
It is important that you make a decision on whether you want to continue with what you were studying before you stopped studying or whether you want to start on a completely different path. Both are fine and therefore, you have to make a decision properly. For an instance, if you want to do something like hospitality management Singapore then you have to understand that this industry is ever changing and therefore, you will have to work hard and pick the best.
Select a Proper University
It might be a good idea to select a proper university so that you can get this done once and for all properly without postponing it again. There are many new universities that cater to a lot of disciplines and are also affordable to the common man. Therefore, it is important that you look through and select a good university that will cater to your needs so that you will not fall back. If you are not sure about what to do speak to a career guidance counselor who will be able to assist you.
Understand the Time You Have
Even though you might like to work and study both properly and select an ambitious area to study, you have to understand that you might not have all the time in the world that you need. There are several commitments you will have to make when it comes to studies. For an instance, you will have to ensure that you have some free time almost every evening to get things done.
Think about Finances
As you have taken some time off your studies, even though you are working you might be having some financial commitments elsewhere. Therefore, it is important that you think about your finances and have a solid plan prior to starting education that is most likely going to be high priced. This way you will not have to worry about anything at all.

Fascism is a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism. [1]
It's pretty common in American politics to imply that those on the American right are fascists. And it's wrong and based on a false premise and a mis-understanding of the differences between the European right/left and the American right/left.
The problem is that we are using the same terms (left/right) for two different scales and they need to be disambiguated.
It would make more sense in the American political model to turn it vertically and speak of top/bottom or big/small.
How does the European model fit in then? The European model assumes big government but differs in it's form. So, superimposing the European model yields
(The American Right are not anarchists. They do believe in government, but only enough to ensure our liberties and no more. And clearly there are Europeans that understand the importance of small government.)
Hitler, the poster child of Fascism, was in fact, a man of the American Left despite the repeated attempts to associate him with the American Right based on the confusion noted above. Hitler viewed the state as supreme and wanted a big government with total control so he could serve as it's dictator, a view that is anathema to American Right. (Interestingly, despite the name of the Nazi party, Hitler was not a socialist although the party was founded on socialism and elements of the party thought that's what they were working towards [2].) The three primary ideologies of Communism, Socialism and Fascism all agree on the need for big government and total control. They differ on structure and their motivations for wanting that control.
This is not to say their aren't fascists in both parties. Anyone that favors big government falls into one of those three ideologies in varying degrees with varying motivations. And that includes President Obama (D), whose recent statements about dictatorially bypassing Congress using executive orders reveal his fascistic tendencies[3]. As does the bridge scandal [4] and the apparent controversy over the Sandy funding for Hoboken [5] involving Governor Christie (R).
The real issue in American politics is: do you favor big government / totalitarianism or small government / liberty?

The turnip by far is the earliest cultivated root vegetable, dating from roughly 2000 BCE. According to the Roman doctor, Galen, turnips have diuretic effects and its seeds have aphrodisiac properties. Pliny also cites opinions that say turnip should be seasoned with rocket to enhance your libido.
The Italian gastronomist, Platina, finds the turnip capable of soothing the throat and chest, and of course promotes the sexual passions.
Health Benefits of Turnips
Turnips contain high levels of antioxidants and phytonutrients associated with reduced risk of cancer. The glucosinolate levels in turnip greens are excellent. Research shows that plant compounds like glucosinolates help the liver process toxins, fight the effects of carcinogens and may even inhibit the growth of tumors. Glucosinolates are sulfur-containing compounds that may help protect against some forms of cancer and provide antifungal, antibacterial and antiparasitic benefits. A study published in the November 2012 issue of the "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry" found that, among nine different cruciferous vegetables, turnip sprouts showed the second highest levels of glucosinolates, after white mustard sprouts.
Turnips contain a category of phytonutrients -- substances in plant foods that improve health but are not essential to life -- called indoles. Indoles in turnips may reduce your risk for lung and colorectal cancers, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. A tissue culture study published in the March 2012 issue of the "International Journal of Oncology" found that brassinin, a type of indole compound, killed human colon cancer cells. Researchers noted that their experiment was the first to determine the particular stage of cancer cell growth that the turnip compound affected.
Turnip greens are great sources of two excellent anti-inflammatory agents: vitamin K and omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamin K is a potent regulator of the body's inflammatory response system. Research shows omega-3 fatty acids are essential building blocks of the body's inflammatory system and help reduce the risk of heart disease, arthritis and other disease that may be the result of chronic inflammation.
A cup of turnips provides almost 5 g of fiber -- a significant amount, considering women need 25 grams each day and men need 38 grams daily. Fiber can help you feel full, especially helpful if you are watching your calorie intake. In addition, fiber promotes a healthy digestive tract and low cholesterol.
Turnips are a great source of calcium and potassium, essential minerals for healthy bone growth and helping to prevent bone diseases such as osteoporosis. Additionally they also contain small amounts of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, manganese and selenium -- trace minerals that would benefit our overall health.
Turnip greens are a rich source of lutein, a carotenoid that promotes eye health and prevents ocular diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts. The same goes with Vitamin A and together with Vitamin C they help maintain healthy skin. Plus Vitamin C improves one's immune system.

Yesterday I was going from Chaweng to Lamai and stopped to buy gasoline at the large PTT shop on the left hand side of the ring road as you are leaving Chaweng, the one with the 7/11 attached. I ordered 500 baht of 91%. Drove off and noticed that the gauge was not showing what it normally would for 500 baht. Sure enough by the time I got home my tank was nearly empty again, most strange for a trip I do twice a week for the last 5 years. So today I went back ordered another 500 bahts worth.One guy signaled i could go, but there was another guy pretending to fix the pump and he was standing with both arms raised so I could not read how much gas he had put in…I got out of the car, went to the pump and he finally moved to reveal that he had only put in 400 baht and had accepted the 500.I went straight to the cashier who questioned him, now i can speak pretty good Thai. The guys were working as a team no doubt and tried to tell me I had only ordered 400 bahts worth. So why I asked is there 500 baht in your hand and you were motioning me to move off. They stuck to that story, the cashier told them to put another 100 baht in, what about yesterday I asked? You should have told us then, nothing we can do now. No sorry no nothing, so it's only fair I let all the other targets out there know about this scam and avoid that particular business.Very poor form indeed.

Help? Of course I don't need it.
Damn. I am on a roll.
You may remember reading in last week's post that I managed to break my foot on an already emotional day. I wish I could say it was during an adventure race or trail run. Nope...just walking down our new back steps. A roll of the ankle and I was down. I guess that loud "pop" I heard must have been in celebration of the 6 years since my last good sprain.
Although I was certain it was just a bad sprain, something just felt different. I visited my doctor and a fracture was confirmed. I wasn't happy about having a broken bone, but I was pleased to know that my gut feeling was spot-on.
That was last week.
This week started off with a bang, too. Literally. To my face.
I was converting G's exersaucer into the next "phase", fighting with one of the legs which was supposed to easily pop off. When it did pop off, it nailed me just shy of my left eye. Great. Let's add a shiner to my list of impairments.
I was quite a sight: hobbling woman with a black eye. Later that day, my husband told me, "Mommy is a hot mess." Agreed. My friend, Leslie, told me that I was becoming a danger to myself, and should she report me? After all, I would get a 72h vacation and free food...
Sometimes it seems like I can't get a break. No pun intended. Call me Sisyphus. But how much of this do I bring on myself? The ankle thing: obviously an accident, but I could have easily set aside G's toy and asked my husband for help when he got home. In fact, that was the thought that zipped through my mind in the split-second before a neon green table leg flew into my face.
The past week and a half reminds me that although difficult, I need to ask for help more often. This has always been a challenge for me. Even when offered, I often say "no, thanks" or "I got it".
There is sort of a running joke between my husband and I. When I come across a jar with a tight lid or something of the like, he watches me struggle; he knows that I will say "I got it" if offered assistance. When I finally do ask for help, he says, "Sure! You need a big, strong, man to do it for you?" I roll my eyes and we laugh.
Although the Rosie the Riveter mentality has come in handy most of my married life (multiple deployments and TDYs, starting a business from scratch), accepting help has its benefits, too. After becoming a mom, accepting help in certain situations has been very easy. For example, G and I have taken three trips together involving air travel. Initially, I was nervous that he would be a fussy traveler and I would be the cliché mom with two bags too many. But even while other passengers are in a hurry to get from A to B, I have been pleasantly surprised that most other folks, even TSA agents, are quick to offer an extra hand.
A few years ago, there may have been a small portion of me that would take offense for someone thinking *gasp* I needed assistance. As far as the mom-world is concerned, that part of me could care less. I can only assume that a friendly stranger was once in my shoes, and was probably too proud to ask for help back then, too.
A friend of mine recently revealed that she had been struggling with postpartum depression. Luckily she consulted with her doctor and I am happy to say she is now working through it. It wasn't until she went on a low-dose antidepressant that she realized how much her PPD was affecting her. I think most of us don't see how much we need a helping hand until after it is extended.
So whether it is wrestling with the leg of your kid's exersaucer, your body telling you something is not quite right, accidentally whacking your son's head on a TSA metal detector...twice (#parentfail), or just trying to navigate life, ask for help when you need it. And graciously offer help to others who may not know they need it.

RACELAND -- Lafourche Parish residents won�t get a chance to vote on term limits for council members and the parish president, the council decided Tuesday night.
Opponents said the parish�s Home Rule Charter, a set of rules similar to a consitution, should not be altered and argued that term limits already exist in the form of elections every four years.
Councilman Michael Matherne, who will be running for state representative in October and is therefore ineligible for re-election, proposed the charter change. It called for an Oct. 20 parishwide election, allowing voters to decide whether to enact term limits of 12 years for council members and eight years for parish president.
The council voted it down 5-3. Here�s how members voted:
For: Matherne, Tommy Lasseigne and Lindel Toups.
Against: Michael Delatte, Mark Atzenhoffer, Tyrone Williams, Daniel Lorraine and Phillip Gouaux.
Absent: Brent Callais.
Unlike a typical ordinance that requires a simple majority vote to pass, the term limits are a charter change and go to the ballot only if six of the nine council members, or two thirds, approve.
Matherne cited results of a statewide 1995 election that enacted term-limits for state legislators. In that election, 76 percent of voters cast ballots in favor of the term limits.
Matherne said the people of Lafourche should have the right to decide whether their parish president and council members should be given a limited time in office.
"I�m surprised it didn�t have more support," he said. "Fat-cat politicians get entrenched in their job, and this would�ve stopped all that. I wanted the people of Lafourche Parish to decide."
Gouaux said term limits are already in place every four years, when council members and the parish president must go before voters.
"Why throw another wrench in the wheel when they have that choice already?" he said.
Staff Writer Ben Lundin can be reached at 448-7635.

Using the term "entry level" when describing a Maserati doesn't feel quite appropriate. With a base price in excess of $75,000, the 2018 Ghibli is far from cheap, but is still the least expensive way to get your hands on a vehicle wearing the marque of the trident.
Three series of the 2018 Ghibli are available: base, Ghibli S, and the Ghibli S Q4, all of which use a twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is standard on the Q4. Base Ghibli models generate 345 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft., while a better tuned version of the same engine makes 424 hp and 428 lb.-ft. of torque in Ghibli S and Q4 variants. In fact, the S and S Q4 models benefit from an additional 20 hp and 22 lb.-ft. of torque for 2018.
In addition to the power gains, two new trim levels debut for 2018: GranLusso is luxury oriented, while GranSport makes sporty additions to the luxury sedan. The GranLusso trim adds chrome bumper inserts, wood interior accents, and comfort seats, while the GranSport adds sport seats, 20-inch aluminum wheels, red brake calipers, a sport steering wheel, and paddle shifters. Both new trims feature restyled front and rear bumpers for better aerodynamics, as well as adaptive LED headlights with glare-free high beams.
All 2018 Ghibli sedans include leather upholstery, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a rearview camera. For 2018, Maserati adds an updated infotainment system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, which features integration for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The sedan also includes standard safety features such as anti-lock brakes with brake assistance during emergency maneuvers, and blind-spot monitoring.
Changes to the 2018 Maserati Ghibli:
- Addition of GranSport and GranLusso trim levels
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility added to infotainment system
- Upgraded 3.0-liter V6 engine for S and S Q4 models, adds extra output and uses an engine management system developed with Bosch
- Electric Power Steering added, allows for driver assistive systems such as lane keep assist and blind spot assist to function
- Nerissimo package adds various black chrome exterior accents
What We Think
With various refinements on the way for the new model year, Maserati finds a handful of new ways to improve the Ghibli sedan for 2018. While there are certainly other midsize luxury sedans that provide better value and will likely be cheaper to maintain in the long run, the 2018 Ghibli is a unique and extremely opulent offering.

There have been times when I have been Devastated. Even Literally Weeping, over Unnecessary things! Yet, even in those days, Methods I have learnt Not only kept my Sanity, but even gave me a modicum of Happiness. That is the 'How' that I share with You today.
It was Precisely on the day to which I have provided the link above, that I had to travel, by bus, for about 10 hours, at night. The One positive thing about the journey was that I found an Empty Seat, that too next to a window, a Real Rarity, particularly when You board a bus On the Way. But there were Plenty of Negatives.
First of all there was my Mental situation. (See link). Then, in the bus, I found that the 'window' on my side, – which in India is just a piece of Plexi-glass, was Missing! Well, Open to God's Good Air, what! But No. It was the Rainy season! …There were no other seats available; I could have stood in the Aisle of the bus, which was already crowded(!), or I could have remained in my seat. I chose to remain, with the Sleet coming on to me in its Merry Way. On top of it, I found that it was Dripping Right on my head! (Many of Our Indian buses are Famous for such things!)
[This picture is from the Net, of course. And these people are taking it Very Coolly, (Apathetically?!), in the way of Indians. But this does not appear to have occurred, in this instance, during the Rainy season.]
To go back and to Repeat, That was my situation.
How I kept myself Happy.
It is Possible to Achieve Happiness, and to Remain Happy, even in the Midst of the Greatest of Trials.
I Started Recalling, as I had learnt, the Happy Memories of my Life. I shall recount a few for You just now.
When I was studying Theology in Ranchi, one evening, I suddenly noticed some Children rushing towards me. Upon reaching me, They Surrounded me, Embraced me clutching at my legs (they were of that size!), and were looking up at me with Happy Faces! They Thrust something into my Hands, …Flowers! I learnt that these my Little Sweethearts had been Keeping these Treasures, Just to give them to me, since morning, when they had started for School! They were Wilted and Crumpled. But it made them all the more Precious! I kept them under my glass (pad) on my table, for a very long time.
When my Nephew was about 8 years old, I had gone to visit them. At the end of the visit, my brother brought me by motor bike to the Bus Stand. My Nephew had accompanied us. After I got down, my brother started back, and my Nephew, in his turn, turned back towards me, holding on to my brother rather generous 'waist' with one hand, and Waving to me with his other, …Till – they – were – Out – of – Sight! I just stood there and Drank that Sight in.
This is the same Young man, Kenny, on a same kind of motor cycle!
When I had occasion to stay with my Uncle, my Sweet Little Niece, all of about 2 years old, would climb about 20 steepish stairs on her Fours and come to see me, many times a day. Oh, How She Loved me. To share the whole story, She Died within a few days of my leaving them. …Though this memory brings Tears to my eyes even as I type this, it is One of the Most Precious memories of Love in my Life. Horribly Bitter Sweet though this is, I Will recall it whenever I feel that there is No love in my life.
Happily, I have, and I had, even on that day, Enough Happy memories to last me the whole 10 hours!
Whatever Our Situation, We All, Do have Happy memories like these. Count Your Blessings, as they say. Recall Your Happy memories, Time and Again, whenever You feel You Need it. And this, my Dear Folks, is a Real Good Way to Be Happy. 🙂 For More on Happiness, here is a quick link. For Happiness over Pleasure, please click here.

Portland police on Thursday released the latest quarterly report from its Police Review Board, summarizing misconduct cases reviewed between June 22, 2016 and Nov. 14, 2016.
(Maxine Bernstein)
A Portland police officer was fired after he got upset during an off-duty poker game at a friend's home, left and returned with his gun, menaced the friend's family and threatened to shoot a witness in the head, according to a chief's finding.
Another officer resigned under threat of firing for driving drunk in a patrol car while on duty to answer a call. Fellow officers detected alcohol on the patrol officers' breath, but the officer denied drinking. A lab test found the officer's blood-alcohol content was .08.
One officer retired instead of getting fired after he was found to have falsified his timekeeping sheet. He failed to disclose that he didn't work full shifts and showed up late and left early in April and May 2015, missing an hour or two each day.
The cases were detailed in a Portland Police Review Board report released Thursday of officer misconduct allegations and findings from last June 22 to Nov. 14.
The board releases quarterly reports on its examination of police internal investigations. The reports don't identify the officers by name. The board ranges from five to 7 voting members and includes an assistant chief, peer officer, the officer's commander or captain, the Independent Police Review Division director and a citizen member, and meets behind closed doors at the Police Bureau.
Former Police Chief Larry O'Dea reviewed some of the cases before he retired in late June while under criminal investigation for an off-duty shooting. Others were reviewed by Acting Chief Donna Henderson who was appointed to fill O'Dea's job and current Chief Mike Marshman.
The report also summarizes the case of Officer Jeromie L. Palaoro, who resigned last February and pleaded guilty to first-degree official misconduct after a woman said he responded to her domestic assault complaint and then went to her hotel room and coerced her into unwanted sexual contact. Though the report doesn't name him, it's clear the officer is Palaoro from the description.
The board's report indicated that Palaoro never filed a report with the Police Bureau on the woman's domestic violence complaint. Palaoro, a seven-year bureau member, was ordered to serve a year and a half on probation and lose his state police certification.
The board also reviewed an officer-involved shooting that occurred May 24. Police shot at but missed Timothy James Bucher, 63, during a standoff at a mobile home park. Bucher had been arguing with his wife and allegedly shot at neighbors' homes with an assault rifle. Police used a Taser, a police dog and tear gas in addition to what they called "cover shots."
According to the board's summary, Bucher was partially obscured by a door jamb but could be seen manipulating a high-powered rifle and pointing it at other officers.
Members of the bureau's Special Emergency Reaction Team fired gas into the home to move Bucher away from the home's windows, while other officers fired bullets at the door jamb, concerned that the SERT officers were exposed and at risk.
The board found the officers' actions consistent with bureau policy, but recommended that the bureau's directive on use of force include more information about the use of "cover fire.''

Thanks to the Subaru Cares campaign, Max, a cancer patient who is receiving treatment at Spectrum Health was given a beautiful blanket from LLS and Fox Subaru of Grand Rapids. As we know and found out today, cancer touches everyone, including Subaru employees pictured here. One of them is a 2 year survivor of Myeloma and the other one lost her father and his grandfather to multiple myeloma just last fall. Along with the blankets, the local Fox Subaru employees and customers wrote notes of encouragement left in the library to brighten the day of the patients This heartfelt gift to cancer patients reminds them that we care, we work hard every day to find cures and raise funds to help offset the cost of cancer. Without the help of our communities getting involved, we could not support the lifesaving research that will put an end to these terrible diseases. Max was touched by the generous gift from LLS and Subaru, and we were shown what a true fighter Max and other cancer patients are every day in their battle to win.
What does a great collaboration look like? Right here! Benzie Area Christian Neighbors (BACN) and Benzie Senior Resources working together to get our most vulnerable senior population nourishment.Hunger affects people of all ages, and sadly, older Americans are often a forgotten population. The Senior Food Program strives to improve the quality of life for seniors with limited resources in our community by providing highly nutritious, fresh, senior friendly foods. The program provides bi monthly supplemental groceries that fit the needs of a senior household. BACN provides the bags and the food and Benzie Senior Resources delivers them. Since November 2017 when Benzie Senior Resources acquired and took delivery of the 2018 Outback from Subaru of America's 50 Cars for 50 Years Program; the Outback has been driven just over 5,000 miles. Its mission has been delivery meals Monday through Friday on a route in Benzie County. Other important duties of the Subaru Outback has been the distribution of Holiday Christmas Bags and the BACN Senior Food Bags. Meals on Wheels America was a partner with Subaru of America to provide the opportunity for Meals on Wheels Programs such as Benzie Senior Resources to apply for 1 of the 50 2018 Subaru Outback vehicles.
Fox Subaru teamed up with Bill and Paul's Sports Haus and Grand Rapids Bicycle Co to fundraise for Kent County Parks Foundation early this summer. Fox Subaru took the time to bring Subaru's out to Bill and Paul's Sports Haus for locals to test drive. Every time someone test drove a car or a bike donations were made to KCPF towards the expansions of our local parks. A total of $620 was donate to the Parks Foundation from all three organizations. We are so grateful Fox Subaru went out of their way to donate to the Kent County Parks Foundation.
For the past two years, Kids' Food Basket has had the opportunity to partner with Fox Subaru. Through their Share the Love program, they have generously gifted over $52,000 to the attack on childhood hunger right here in West Michigan. Their gifts have been utilized during our annual Feast for Kids event the last two years as a Fund-a-Need Match to increase the amount of donations during the evening from event attendees. Kids' Food Basket is a 100% charitably funded organization that relies on the generosity of partners such as Fox Subaru to ensure that 7,500 children in West Michigan receive a nutritious, ready-to-eat evening meal each weeknight through our Sack Supper program.
Since 2014 Fox Subaru has donated $12,500 to support Humane Society of West Michigan's annual fundraising events including Paws, Claws & Corks and Bark in the Dark. These events raise awareness in the community for Humane Society of West Michigan's mission to promote the humane treatment and responsible care of animals in West Michigan through education, example, placement and protection. Fox Subaru has also donated an additional $8,000+ to support Humane Society of West Michigan through their "Share the Love" program. As a 100% donor funded organization the generous financial support of community minded businesses, such as Fox Subaru, makes it possible for over 4,000 homeless pets to receive the medical care, housing, love, and help that they need to find their forever homes each year. Every animal that arrives at HSWM receives a medical & behavioral evaluation, vaccinations, a microchip, and is spayed or neutered. Without the continued financial support of Fox Subaru and our community HSWM simply wouldn't be able to offer comprehensive care to so many animals in need. Thank you Fox Subaru for caring for animals in our community!

|Package and Assembly Considerations for Microfluidic Devices
|Keywords: Assembly technologies, Microfluidics, Design
|Microelectronic technology has enabled significant advances in a variety of fluidic applications that have historically used more traditional technologies. These advances bring cost reductions, improved performance and smaller size to a variety of product applications such genome sequencing, fuel cells and water quality sensing (1). Whether one-time use packages or packages for longer term use, the package design and assembly process along with the requisite material choices contribute significantly to the cost, performance, usability, reliability and aesthetics of the microfluidic device. Encapsulation, sealing, and fluidic interfaces always present challenges and material and assembly solutions will be shown that allowed the devices in the case studies to be qualified and placed into production. This paper will detail the practical requirements of microfluidic packages and highlight solutions to the unique challenges these types of devices present. Specifically, real-life case studies will be presented to highlight the following topics: • Fuel cell package case studies will highlight issues related to hermeticity, material selection and long-term reliability. • Gene sequencing case studies will highlight electrical and fluidic interface issues in disposable packages and the optical requirement that are often present (2) • Water quality sensor case studies will be used to analyze disposable, one-time-use package strategies and the practical and functional challenges of using these devices in the field (3). Throughout the case studies, issues associated with fluidic and electronic interfaces, the incorporation and isolation of electronic circuitry, material compatibility, reliability, manufacturability, cost and the influence of the package and assembly process on device performance will be highlighted.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- For two guys who are polar opposites in a lot of ways, Barrett Jones and William Vlachos are the ultimate combination on Alabama's offensive line.
The truth is that they're great friends, even though they both revel in getting under the other's skin.
They room together on the road, quarrel over who gets to control the television remote and make fun of the other's interests.
When Jones is away from football, he's liable to be playing the violin or lining up his next mission trip.
When Vlachos is away from football, he's probably going to be in camouflage and sitting in a deer stand.
When they're both on the field -- Jones at left tackle and Vlachos at center -- they're one of the premier offensive line duos in all of college football.
"You're talking about two guys who are great people, extremely intelligent and are going to be very, very successful in life at whatever they choose to do," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "They love playing football and are football junkies. They like to prepare and probably understand what they're supposed to do as well as the coaches.
"Their communication and ability to make calls really helps the other players tremendously. You have to have a combination of those kind of guys, especially in the offensive line where playing intelligently is very, very important to being successful."
As Saban notes, it's one thing to be able to physically block a guy. What's more important is knowing who to block on every play.
"If you don't block the right guy, it doesn't do you much good," Saban said. "Those two guys help us block the right guys. We can't always block them, but they help us block the right guys, and that helps our consistency.
"Those guys have been staples for two or three years now, and I think our offensive line has always sort of overachieved a little bit … probably because of them."
Alabama running back Trent Richardson, who's run through more than a few holes created by Vlachos and Jones, is continually amazed at how quickly they adjust to what defenses are doing and how well they work together on the field.
"Vlachos is almost like a quarterback on that offensive line," said Richardson, who leads the SEC in rushing. "I'm looking at him in the backfield and listening to him make all these calls, and I'm like, 'How are you seeing all this stuff that quick?'
"He and Barrett talk to each other on the line and are making decisions together. My head is almost spinning, and they're making calls. I'm trying to read off them and see what they see.
"They're three times ahead of everybody else."
That's not by coincidence.
The only thing they like better than watching film is cracking on each other.
And the film room is their haven for some of their best barbs.
"We're the only players in the SEC who know every defensive lineman by his first name," said Jones, a fourth-year junior who's made 33 career starts.
Vlachos goes one better.
"Over the last three years, we can tell you the first and last names and number of everybody we've played against and what they were like and a certain play that stands out," Vlachos said. "That's what happens when you play as long as we have together."
Vlachos, a fifth-year senior who's made 35 consecutive starts, admits that his first impression of Jones wasn't a good one.
"William thought I was weird," said Jones, who gets no argument from Vlachos.
"I wasn't a huge fan," Vlachos acknowledged. "He probably wasn't a huge fan, either, but the rest is history. I love his humor now."
There's never a dull moment when they're together. It's like Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble reincarnated.
Jones jokes that Vlachos hasn't seen the inside of a classroom in three years.
"William is strictly on an online class diet," quipped Jones, who earned his undergraduate degree in accounting in August with a 4.0 GPA.
Vlachos is quick to shoot back.
"I graduated in three and a half years [in consumer economics], but now I'm an online guy," Vlachos said.
Jones said Vlachos hates sports other than playing football.
"He likes playing football" Jones said. "But if there's a game on, and it's not somebody we're going to be playing, he doesn't want to watch it.
Vlachos interjected that he watches golf on television. He just doesn't play it.
Jones said there's no way he's going to take Vlachos to play golf, either.
"I don't want to get kicked off the course. He doesn't have the patience for golf," Jones said.
They could go on for days about who's the better athlete. Jones is 6-foot-5 and 311 pounds. Vlachos is listed at 6-1 (don't dare debate him about it) and just under 300 pounds.
"Who runs the fastest 40?" asks Vlachos, wearing a proud smile and looking directly at Jones.
"I'm just more athletic overall."
Jones isn't about to buy that and quickly claims to have the better footwork.
"That's definitely me," Jones said.
And the smarter player?
"You're not going to give that to me?" says Jones, staring blankly at Vlachos.
Finally, Vlachos gives in. Well, sort of.
"It's a tie," Vlachos said. "You're a smarter person than me, but we have equal football instincts."
Even though they room together on the road and at the hotel the nights before home games, they have their own places in Tuscaloosa.
"We need to keep our space. He's too messy," Jones said.
Sure enough, during their live appearance with ESPN on Wednesday during the All Access special, Jones was wearing long pants with his shirt tucked in. Vlachos was rocking shorts with his shirt untucked.
"But my hair was brushed," Vlachos pleaded.
They did once go on a double date together.
"Went to the Iguana Grill," Vlachos said. "I don't remember much about it other than it was the only one."
Jones said Vlachos thinks he's a running back or fullback at heart, and Richardson says that Vlachos has been known to try to race him off the practice field.
"It's like that 80-yard screen play Trent had against Ole Miss where William is just sprinting down the field to be sprinting down the field," Jones said.
Counters Vlachos, "Nope, [Chance] Warmack blocked the wrong guy, and I started running. For 40 yards, we were step for step. Now, I had a little bit of steam going, and Trent had to stop and go again.
"You can pull it up on the film."
It's always a riot when Jones and Vlachos get going, and by the time they're finished, everybody's rolling in laughter.
Neither was laughing, though, when the decision was made in the preseason to move Jones from right guard to left tackle. Jones had played alongside Vlachos at right guard for two seasons.
They had the kind of chemistry working between them on the field that one could nod and the other would know exactly what to do.
"I was very against it at first," Vlachos said. "But I think he's done an incredible job at left tackle. It's just that we were so good at getting to know the other personnel together. Now, he's always watching ends, and I'm still watching tackles."
Jones, a first-team All-SEC selection at right guard last season, has played every position on the Alabama line this season but right guard, including some at center.
Moving away from each other isn't the only adjustment Jones and Vlachos had to make this season. Veteran offensive line coach Joe Pendry retired following last season and was replaced by Jeff Stoutland.
"Barrett and I had played for Coach Pendry for so long," Vlachos said. "He was instrumental in our development, and he was kind of like a father to both of us. While we both miss Coach Pendry, Coach Stoutland has been great.
"Their styles might be different, but their philosophies are the same. They expect you to give everything you've got every play and know exactly what you're doing all the time."
Never a problem for these two, who agree that Saturday's challenge against this LSU defense will be one for the ages.
"Our coaches do a great job of putting us in the right spots," Vlachos said. "But I also think that when our offensive line plays well, at least since Barrett and me have been here, our offense plays well. I believe everything revolves around a strong performance from the offensive line and being able to run the football.
"I'm not saying this because of all the hype. But when we step in between those lines on Saturday night, it's going to be the best defense we've played against in our careers -- and it's on us to be at our best."

Sometimes things can get a little fuzzy after an afternoon at the pub. Here's a friendly reminder of what you may have missed while you were drinking.
The Padres (38-49) scored more runs than the Philadelphia Phillies (28-58), 2-1, yesterday at Citizens Bank Park.
Jhoulys Chacin (8-7, 4.32) allowed one run on three hits and two walk while striking out six in six and a third innings. Maikel Franco hit a solo home run in the fifth inning. Kirby Yates, Ryan Buchter, and Brandon Maurer allowed only one hit and one walk in the final two and two-thirds innings.
Aaron Nola (6-6, 3.59) gave up two runs in eight innings on four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts. Carlos Asuaje tripled in the seventh inning to drive in Hunter Renfroe and Austin Hedges' single scored Asuaje.
The Padres try for the sweep as Trevor Cahill (3-2, 2.96) starts today's series finale against Jerad Eickhoff (0-7, 4.93) starting at 10:35am PDT.
