It's finally getting nice out which means I'll be starting to move my workouts outdoors. I have been making an effort to get up early during the week in an attempt to get some sort of activity done in the morning. I am beyond out of shape and even a little yoga or stretching in the morning helps. In the warmer months I like to workout outside when I can. There is something nice and relaxing about even just a walk after dinner outside when weather is nice. There is a park on my way route home and often I will take a bag with me to work so I can jut change and stop off there on my way home. These are a few of the essentials I keep in my gym bag so I can just through in some workout clothes and go.
Many, many years ago back when I was in High School I had an injury to my achilles tendon that never really healed properly. That injury which still causes me pain heavily affects my workouts so quality footwear is a must for me. I needed new workout sneakers bad, and snagged these Nike Dual Fusion Lites on sale and they are the best. These running sneakers are nice and light while still giving me the support I need.
Exercising can sometimes be a healthy way to escape from life. If I am working out alone I absolutely must have music on hand. Being able to escape into the beats is therapeutic and I can switch to a new playlist if I am needing some extra motivation. I know I am not the only one that has that one playlist of music that they turn to. You know the one you play when you are ready to give up hope on ever having a body close to Jlo or Beyonce.
I keep things pretty simple when working out, no glam girl over here. I keep makeup remover wipes on hand to remove any makeup. I also keep a hair brush and a few hair ties to pull my hair up into a ponytail or bun so it is out of my face. Now I am ready to sweat.
Mother nature has a way of sneaking up on us but with the Playtex® Sport® Combo pack I never have to worry about her interfering with my active lifestyle. No one wants to be surprised and we definitely don't want to have to worry about accidents and leaks when working out and staying active. The new Playtex Sports Combo Pack offers two kinds of sports level protection. No matter what activity you're into, the Playtex sports pack has you covered with a combination of tampons and either pads or liners. The flex fit design of the Playtex sport tampons adjust to your every move forming a protective leak barrier. For the next few weeks during the month of March you can find these combination packs on an end cap in your local Walmart Store. In April they can be found in the regular feminine care aisle. Look for these special marked packs;
NEW! Playtex® Sport® now available in Pads, Liners and Combo Packs at Walmart ! Now Sport Level Protection™ pads, liners and combo packs with Flexfit™ design to twist and turn with your body. Don't let your period get in the way. PlayOn!
By keeping my gym bag packed with all the essentials and ready to go, I have little excuses not to get some exercise in a few days a week. Leave a comment and tell me what are some must have items you would consider Gym Bag Essentials?

A couple of the girls in our Young Women In Leadership (YWIL) program wanted to share their own stories of why they chose to participate in YWIL and what Girls Inc. means to them. Thanks, ladies!
Joleena Mundy
I seek to challenge myself and find ways to better myself as a person. Girls Inc. is a place to really be yourself and take risk without fear of being looked down upon. This is my first year at Girls Inc. and so far it's great! I love that they encourage you to be yourself and to not just be a follower. For example, recently we had a speaker come in and tell us to be limitless and go beyond what others expect. I've been looking for a program like Girls Inc. that could give me advice and a little guidance in this crazy world, and I'm glad I found it!
Aeriana Wiegand
Young Women in Leadership (YWIL) has become more than just an extracurricular to me. It has become a part of my chosen family. Through this program, I have learned how to appropriately plan for my future, become the best leader I can be in my community, and how to manage my time. The program has offered more opportunities than I can list. The program directors' constant guidance in scholarship application, resume building, finding possible jobs that are available, etc. has instilled a gratitude towards them that I show through my constant involvement with not only this program, but Girls Inc. in general. What makes YWIL so special is that the program directors do all these things to help us, and they do them with creative concepts, open discussion, and a smile.
It has become a refuge where I can openly and honestly share my thoughts and ideas with others. This program creates a new family of girls seeking success every year. It's crucial for teenage girls to surround themselves with young women who will continue to motivate them to do and be their best. When I've been in need of motivation, guidance, friendship, or a positive outlook, YWIL has never failed me. This is why I will continue to promote the program to young women and attend every year that I can.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
fruits, "the Jezreelite," was the owner of a portion of ground on the eastern slope of the hill of Jezreel (2Ki 9:25,26). This small "plat of ground" seems to have been all he possessed. It was a vineyard, and lay "hard by the palace of Ahab" (1Ki 21:1,2), who greatly coveted it. Naboth, however, refused on any terms to part with it to the king. He had inherited it from his fathers, and no Israelite could lawfully sell his property (Lev 25:23). Jezebel, Ahab's wife, was grievously offended at Naboth's refusal to part with his vineyard. By a crafty and cruel plot she compassed his death. His sons also shared his fate (2Ki 9:26; 1Ki 21:19). She then came to Ahab and said, "Arise, take possession of the vineyard; for Naboth is not alive, but dead." Ahab arose and went forth into the garden which had so treacherously and cruelly been acquired, seemingly enjoying his new possession, when, lo, Elijah suddenly appeared before him and pronounced against him a fearful doom (1Ki 21:17-24). Jehu and Bidcar were with Ahab at this time, and so deeply were the words of Elijah imprinted on Jehu's memory that many years afterwards he refers to them (2Ki 9:26), and he was the chief instrument in inflicting this sentence on Ahab and Jezebel and all their house (9:30-37). The house of Ahab was extinguished by him. Not one of all his great men and his kinsfolk and his priests did Jehu spare (10:11).
Ahab humbled himself at Elijah's words (1Ki 21:28,29), and therefore the prophecy was fulfilled not in his fate but in that of his son Joram (2Ki 9:25).
The history of Naboth, compared with that of Ahab and Jezebel, furnishes a remarkable illustration of the law of a retributive providence, a law which runs through all history (Psa 109:17,18).

IT'S 2017 HOLY SHIT. We survived the weirdness that was 2016. WHAT A WEIRD YEAR AMIRITE?! December was hilariously stressful for me. With work wrapping up our end of the year programming, gift shopping, not getting sleep, political garbage, celebrity deaths and everything in between, I was on the "OH MY GOD THIS YEAR SUCKS" hype train. Then I started looking at old videos/photos from the year and it wasn't that bad. I even made this thing:
So...maybe 2016 wasn't so bad. Kinda weird how one minute you think the year sucked then the next it's like "OH SHIT I WENT TO NEW ORLEANS AND CHICAGO AND MEXICO AND SAW BASEBALL AND ATE PIZZA AND DID THINGS THAT DIDN'T SUCK". I turned 30. I'm a Director at work now aka D.A.D. (Director of Audience Development. Thanks Luis for that amazing discovery). Got to travel. Met family that I haven't seen in a while and a ton of other stuff.
I'm excited for 2017. I mean, I'm sure we all are. The rad thing about starting a new year is brushing off the stank from the previous year and taking time to reflect on who you are and where you wanna be in the next 12 months. I'm gonna turn 31 next month and that's pretty frightening but really exciting. I also wanna create more stuff and I'm extremely fortunate to be at company that's gonna allow me to do that. Both professionally and personally, it's gonna be a huge year of growth for me. Although I still need a vacation, it was good to be one of like 10 people in the office during the holidays so I can sit and think about things for a hot minute. LIKE MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS/GOALS. Here's a quick list:
- Brush up on my spanish. I suck. I need to do better
- Lose 50 pounds this year. I'm a big boy and need to shed some weight so I don't die by the time I'm 32
- Up my photography game. I AM GOING TO SOMEHOW GET A PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK MADE AND IT WILL BE DOPE. Don't know what I'm gonna do but that's been my goal. Which brings me to...
- SOMEHOW SAVE MONEY TO BUY A CANON MARK IV. I've had a Canon T2i and it's been great for the past 8 years but DADDY NEEDS TO STEP HIS GAME UP. Someone please loan me 3k
- BOOK/GO TO ICELAND. This is on my bucketlist and I need to finally pull the trigger and just go
- COOK MORE. Tired of eating out all the time. Well, I'm not really but I just wanna cook more.
- Get back to hanging with friends/family more and MEET PEOPLE ONLINE THAT I'VE SPOKEN TO FOR YEARS BUT HAVE NEVER MET.
2017 is gonna be LIT. Are we still saying that? idk. Anyway, hope you had a killer New Year and are ready to get your New Years Resolutions going. Gonna be blogging/vlogging/everything else more this year so we'll see how that goes.
- Ricardo

Therefore, to run a safety program is must to avoid the a number of ultimatums floating around. Although, the internet isn't free from malware as there are multiple spyware involved in unauthorized actions. The completely free mannequin may be downloaded towards Avira's formal web site. Typically you may entry it by logging into a web based account associated with the cell telephone spy software program. This assessment will present you the benefits of dumping your mobile phone small enterprise and becoming a member of the organisation of the longer term!

Previously in 2011, I had written an article about a new web technology called supercookies. Now, a year later, what has changed in the tracking department?
Supercookies provide a means by which you can be tracked online regardless of if you clear your browser cache, temporary internet files or even disable traditional cookies.
Supercookies do not notify you they are storing information or tracking, you have no choice - they will be used whether you like it or not, they track between websites, data is shared with third party even if the privacy policy says it does not and you cannot delete or block them.
At the time of writing that previous article, supercookies were in the infancy stages of development and only used by a few websites such as MSN and Google. Now, a year later, they have evolved into commercial products and they are everywhere. Supercookies are also an easy way for advertisers and trackers to evade the "Do Not Track" option of browsers .
Supercookies are now being used to identify and track you via your internet browser even after you remove standard cookies, delete Flash cookies (Local Shared Objects or LSOs), delete Silverlight storage, delete temporary internet files and wipe out anything else. In fact, they are very difficult to get rid of, because if one of the storage locations gets deleted, itself replicates from another location. It is estimated (at the time of writing) the 1.5% of the top 1 million sites use supercookies (that's 15,000 websites and growing) .
There is another word for software that installs itself onto a computer without permission, is difficult to get rid of, replicates to many locations, and restores deleted versions. That word is computer virus, and I treat supercookies with the same contempt.
So far supercookies have been found to infect the following storage areas on computers:
- Standard HTTP Cookies
- Local Shared Objects (Flash Cookies)
- Silverlight Isolated Storage
- Storing cookies in RGB values of auto-generated, force-cached PNGs using HTML5 Canvas tag to read pixels (cookies) back out
- Storing cookies in Web History
- Storing cookies in HTTP ETags
- Storing cookies in Web cache
- window.name caching
- Internet Explorer userData storage
- HTML5 Session Storage
- HTML5 Local Storage
- HTML5 Global Storage
- HTML5 Database Storage via SQLite
- Probably more yet to be found...
One particular pest is called evercookie which seems to be a method for tracking people, has been around since the start, and there is even a WordPress plugin for it. In their own words:
evercookie accomplishes this by storing the cookie data in several types of storage mechanisms that are available on the local browser. Additionally, if evercookie has found the user has removed any of the types of cookies in question, it recreates them using each mechanism available.
How to Block evercookie and supercookies
Currently, there is no practical way to block supercookies. Using Incognito or Safe Browsing modes will help, but there is no guarantee that they will block supercookies.
Another option, although hardly feasible, is to use a virtual machine. When you're finished browsing the web, simply delete the virtual machine and clone a copy from the master. Next time you start from a clean copy and when you're done, delete it again.
My current techniques for blocking supercookies consist of using the FlashBlock plugin which disables all flash unless I specifically allow an applet to run.
I also use AdBlockPro which most ads and tracking, which speeds up browsing and also blocks cookies by advertisers.
Unfortunately, applications such as CCleaner are unable to remove all records of evercookie so I cannot recommend their use at this time.

'Shark Tank' Entrepreneur Who Got Away [Video]
My guilty TV pleasure?
It's not MTV's "Teen Mom 34" or TLC's "Sex Sent Me to the ER" (although ...) or ANY housewives that say they are "Real," but I doubt are.
No, my TV pleasure is five arrogant multi-millionaire and billionaire investors who look to get richer and squash dreams. My favorite TV show is ABC's "Shark Tank."
I have talked about this before, and still to this day, the biggest jerk ever on the show was James Martin.
He invented Copa Di Vino, a pre-filled cup with wine and a cap device to keep the wine fresh after opening. He was in the tank twice. Both times he walked out without a deal, and the Sharks shaking their heads in disbelief.
This story from ABC News (leading up to a sweeps special about one of the net's only--and cheapest--hits) tells the real story. "The Multi-Million Dollar Product That Got Away From 'Shark Tank'"
"Martin's Oregon-based and family-owned winery struggled for years before making a profit. When the opportunity arose to appear on the second season of 'Shark Tank,' Martin jumped at the possibility for potential investors and additional expertise.
"At that point we had just started the company and we're desperately in need of some cash," Martin told ABC News. "We thought it was a perfect fit for the show and we were really excited to do it."
Martin asked for $600,000 in exchange for 30 percent of his business.
Kevin O'Leary expressed interest, but wanted Martin to separate the patent for the container from the process of bottling the wine. Martin wouldn't budge, telling O'Leary the wine glass was the "special sauce."
The situation was tense in the shark tank after Martin walked out on the offers and brushed off their advice, Shark Barbara Corcoran told ABC News.
"He was arrogant, he didn't listen," Corcoran said. "Everyone was giving him good suggestions. He just dismissed it as though he was talking to no one. He made every shark hate him within minutes."
However, within minutes after his episode aired, Martin said his phone wouldn't stop ringing with people pitching him with offers to invest in his company.
The producers invited him back, and for a second time he walked and the Sharks couldn't believe his arrogance. Maybe because he reminded them .. of themselves?
I love that show, and now they are airing reruns on CNBC Tuesday nights. Yay cable!

This app is quite complex: there is a different interface and functionalities for different stakeholders (regional authorities and citizens). It works ok from what I can see, although it did take me quite some time (1-2 hours) to read the guide thoroughly and get a hang of how the tool functions.
When clicking on 'Co-design your region's action plan' as a citizen, I see a list of the available regions, and clicking on an open consultation takes me to the action plan page. Here it is not straight-forward that users should click on the individual action points in order to rate them and leave comments. It would be good to display a box with guidance text, e.g. 'Click on an action point to tell your opinion'.


text: We have a 12 year old son in 7th grade. He plays football and does it very well. School is his very last priority, he doesn't think he needs it even though he dreams of playing college ball. If his grades fall below 70% he can not practice or play. This is causing a reverse effect. He wants to give up everything. Other kids overheard his coach telling him that because he wasn't playing they list the game. He is on meds and we do have an appointment with a child psychiatrist, but I feel the school hates him and gives him no encouragement.

Uncharacteristic Attractions: Why English Dramas Are Better Than Crack Cocaine
*Totally OT and completely unrelated to comic books or nerd culture. Well, typical male nerd culture. *
In the midst of what should be a horror film orgy I've deviated down a dark path into English period pieces. It started off harmless enough. I was hunting down YouTube clips starring Johnny Lee Miller after watching Hackers. I was watching Hackers because of an article I read comparing The Social Network to Hackers – Hollywood's attempt at making computers and programming cool.
First off – has anyone ever seen Hackers? It's a terribly campy 90s film starring a plump and attractive Angelina Jolie, a thin and sexy Johnny Lee Miller (Trainspotting, Eli Stone) and Matthew Lillard, pre-Scooby years. Fun fact: Johnny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie were married for four years following their acting together in this flick. They're still BFFs apparently. So – they really do bring the sexy on-screen together. Cause they were probably having sex.
This is what a sexy Johnny Lee Miller/Angelina Jolie combo looks like:
Anyways – from Hackers to Johnny Lee Miller, YouTube offered me a scene from Mansfield Park with an almost kiss between Fanny Price and Edmund Bertram. This was especially appealing as I spent an entire term studying Jane Austen (and have also seen the film). It was a sexy almost kiss video…which led to a Pride and Prejudice 2005 almost kiss video. With Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.
In P&P, Matthew Macfadyen looks like this:
This was even more intriguing, since I remember watching the film a few years ago and disliking the actor who played Mr. Darcy. I remember his rapid and monotone delivery, with little emotional variation. It was incredibly displeasing because I watched the film immediately after reading Pride and Prejudice, so of course the Darcy in my head looked and acted completely differently. Curiosity and a desire to relive ill feelings towards the film inspired me to watch a portion of it again.
And I discovered something quite interesting – Macfadyen's performance was actually pretty brilliant. Understated, yet tense and filled with subtle changes in vocal inflection. Plus smoldering eyes. It took about three run-throughs of the rain scene to really solidify the elements that were so captivating.
And now I've fallen head over heels in love with this actor.
Other positive bits – I've come to terms with Keira Knightley as an actress. I've struggled with whether to take her seriously but after reading the Atonement novel and re-watching the film recently (I'll pinpoint this as the real start of the English period drama phase), she gets a pass from me.
Also – realizing the director of Pride and Prejudice (2005) and Atonement are one in the same. Sprawling romantic British period pieces are his forte and he does them quite well. They are rich in texture, color and emotion. Which is pretty much the definition of the genre.
The Matthew Macfadyen obsession led me to The Pillars of the Earth, an 8 hour mini-series put together by Starz and available on Netflix Instant Watch. Starz gets a thumbs up for forming a relationship with Netflix and allowing streaming content. Especially of their most recent shows. Pillars is a fantastic adaptation from a 1,400 page book by Ken Follett – it was produced by Ridley Scott who most currently has an obsession with English history resulting in a nice battery of action/romance/historical epics that may manipulate history a wee bit, but entertain while doing so. Anywho – the intro sequence to Pillars is a stunning watercolor motion capture and the score running underneath it is equally attractive.
Here's a video of the intro, but for some reason the image is flipped. Still, you get the idea:
Pillars features Macfadyen, Ian McShane, Donald Sutherland and Allison Pill (from Scott Pilgrim vs The World!). This miniseries is nicely done. It's like The Tudors minus all the insanely gratuitous sex and really rotten back-stabbing which eventually soured the show. Sure, plenty of characters scheme, but almost all of them get theirs in the end and the heroes triumph. There are several unapologetic conversations about God and religion, and it's the first film or TV series I've watched in quite a while which doesn't appear against religion as a whole. In fact, spirituality is seen as overwhelmingly positive and both Wiccans and Christians are given neutral space. There was not a single moment where I felt preached at or preached to – even though the main plot revolved around a church and priory. This aspect alone is a puzzle. Prior Philip is a welcome antidote to the good priest/bad priest mentality. He can be savvy and politic at times, without being overwhelmingly evil or pure and saintly. He's human.
In Pillars of the Earth, Macfadyen looks like this:
I would have to say it's probably one of my favorite TV series of the year. That's not saying a ton – given that I haven't felt excited or inspired by much television lately. But it is something I would definitely recommend to those interested in lengthy British period pieces ala the kind of productions usually tackled by PBS or BBC. It worked as an entry of only 8 episodes and it didn't feel as if it needed to go on any longer. Just like some of the best comic book series – having a definitive end can help the storyteller wrap things up in a satisfying way.
Other weird Macfadyen connections…the actor is like a creepy fucking chameleon. I've watched two other films he's been in recently, without realizing he was in them. The first film was Incendiary, a small British film starring Michelle Williams and Ewan McGregor – based on a novel about a woman coping with the loss of her husband and son to a terrorist bombing.
In this film – he looked like this:
Finally – he played the Sheriff of Nottingham in the 2010 Robin Hood. The Sheriff is dramatically underused in this version of the story- so he ends up with three or four real moments on-screen. Pretty easy to overlook.
But also hard to spot because in Robin Hood he looks like this:
I've heard of actors disappearing into their roles but I've never had so much trouble identifying an actor in my life. And discovering I've watched him in three separate roles without recognizing him is rather disconcerting. Either I'm slipping in my old age…or he really is able to change his appearance and mannerisms so much that he is unrecognizable to the trained eye.
Hmph. Perhaps you can see why I've spent the week obsessing and ferreting through films and TV series to try and discover what makes this particular actor tick. He doesn't have a persona that is identifiable. He hasn't been typecast yet in one particular role or another, and that is certainly intriguing. He's not the Hollywood standard for attractive either which is appealing and somewhat mystifying. He's not thin and feminine. But he's not short, stout and muscled either. He's tall, solid and a bit beefy. Which is my default attractive man.
He's puzzling and I don't often find that in my actor-crushes. Oh, there have been many. I shall name them here:
1. Ewan McGregor (on-going since Moulin Rouge)
2. Clive Owen (since Closer, though I loathed the film)
3. James McAvoy (Atonement)
4. Audrey Tatou (Amelie)
5. Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil)
You can see that I tend to stray towards foreign, white and mostly men. These are actors and actresses that I've developed serious crushes on and then immediately started devouring other films and TV appearances. This also occurred to a lesser degree with Seth Rogen, Michael Cera, Sam Rockwell and Ellen Page.
It's in my nature to develop strong but short-term obsessions and interests. Perhaps this blog has made the general public aware of that. But it happens.
Work, family, friends, basic hygiene tends to fall away and I don't emerge until a few weeks later – realizing I've totally been lost to something completely inane but seemingly world-alteringly important at the time.
Sometimes – it is something important. Like politics. Or a political cause. Or something creative (writing, comic books, photography, editing, knitting). But for the most part it's Western European actors who bear the brunt of my insanity and addictive personality.
I suppose it's healthier than crack cocaine.
What's intriguing about this whole rambling entry…is how nervous I feel about exposing my interest in this genre. It's REALLY not cool. Like, being a nerd is cool. But this is beyond nerdy and completely female and so stunningly NOT COOL. My inclination towards and affinity for English Dramas has been smoldering away in the dark recesses of my life for many years.
But it's time to make that shit public. Not only do I like comic books and video games and sci fi television shows and horror movies…but I like insanely feminine shit. So feminine it's FEMALE GAZEY. And the subsequent fanvids I've immersed myself in (complete with Sarah McLachlan vocal accompaniment) further push the bounds of female gaze. Without having to really alter the images much. It's refreshing. Treading into these waters where we are allowed to look boldly at male faces, and even perhaps linger on their sexier features (hands, lips, teeth) is 100% awesome.
This will probably be a pleasant detour. Last month I was really hitting the Boston based films hard (The Town, Gone Baby Gone, Good Will Hunting, The Departed) and since there aren't too many out there…that fizzled out pretty quick. Horror has been a slow burn for me this year. Aside from discovering the amazing My Bloody Valentine (1981) recently, I feel like I might have hit rock bottom with horror. There isn't much left in the genre for me to devour outside of B-Films, which are not that enticing.
My request is that you (whoever you are) respond with your favorite period drama. It doesn't necessarily have to be English. Far and Away is a great example of an American epic.
Epics can also be manly – Robin Hood 2010, The Pillars of the Earth, Kingdom of Heaven are manly epic films. I just want to know that I'm not alone. Cause I'm not. It's a dirty secret that most of us don't share with one another.
In the interim, here are a few awesome, hilarious and ridiculous Matthew Macfadyen fanvids. Cause nothing says squee like a fanvid:
With a few sexy videos thrown in for good measure:

|Re: apache ds 1.5 install problem
|Thu, 02 Aug 2007 08:30:33 GMT
Hi Erdem, lets try to find out, step by step, what the problem is. You wrote that you downloaded the apacheds-1.5.0 version and installed it. While installing there where no errors shown. So, my next question is: 1. have you tried to connect to the running apacheds server which a ldap browser tool like Directory Studio is? This should be the first step after installation to make sure, that the installed server is up and running correctly. To do that please go to http://directory.apache.org/studio/downloads.html and download the current version for your operating system. If done, please start Directory Studio and create a new connection configuration with these parameters (based on your statement that you did not modify the server.xml file after installation): - hostname: localhost (or whatever you installed apacheds in) - port: 10389 - encryption: no encryption - bind dn: uid=admin,ou=system - bind password: secret ==> click finish Directory Studio should no connect to apacheds. If that is successful we can go and try to fix the other problems that you have. Best regards Markus erdem ustun schrieb: > Hi Markus, > thanks for writing my problems about install apache > ds. > first of all, > 1.I downloaded apacheds-1.5.0 and then setup.There > were not any errors while installing. > 2.I did not modify server.xml > 3.No I did not (I am a basic konowledge about > programming,ldap so I could not) > > Please send me How to create an object or others. > > the other ways I could not ldap server so How I can > you wrote that > (so you tried to create an object of that class? > by import? using a ldif file exported from another > ldap server?) > > best regards.. > > > > ___________________________________________________________________ > Yahoo! kullaniyor musunuz? http://tr.mail.yahoo.com > Istenmeyen postadan biktiniz mi?

Sunday 03 Jun 22:05
How lovely for Rory to have a break from the kennels. Sound as though you both had a great time! Xxx
Sunday 03 Jun 21:02
I took Rory out for a walk along the canals and through some woodland today. When I went to collect him, I heard him before I saw him! However, once he was out of his kennel, I did not hear a peep from him. He walked beautifully and was just so happy to be out and about. He met (and scared off) some ducks but wasn't bothered by the other dogs, cyclists and runners on the canal. He travelled well and was great fun to be with. Please don't be put off by now vocal he is in his kennel, he just wants to be part of the action. Another handsome black boy who will make a great companion x
Friday 01 Jun 18:33
Rory is so interested in everything, not over excited, just interested. His reaction to the over excited barking Labrador was - look with ears up- ignore, walk on. He's a delight. xx
Monday 28 May 23:01
You know me, I like them to feel like they've had a good day out. Lol. Rory was great in the house and garden with Tinker and Sully. He picked up and carried around a variety of squeaky toys, had a wee in the garden, spotted the guineapigs in their cage and thought he'd won the lottery but as soon as I said no and distracted him he came to me and left them alone straight away. He's a clever boy and would soon get to grips with family life I'm sure. Xxx good luck Rory.
Monday 28 May 18:46
I had the absolute pleasure of taking my boy out for a walk this morning. He gets so excited when he sees you approaching with the lead & muzzle, and does like to shout at you to hurry up!!
Out on a walk though he is a really good boy, walks beautifully, and responds well to you.
He gets my cuddle today, and my wish is that his very own sofa is not far away.
Night night sweetheart. xxx
Sunday 27 May 22:54
Oh bless him! If you have a Greyhound looking for a friend please come and meet Rory! Xxx
Sunday 27 May 21:16
Ladyvictoria he also went home with Lisa for a few hours and was a fab guest. X
Sunday 27 May 21:13
So pleased to hear Rory had a trip to Brueton Park with Lisa and her family today. He really is lovely and one of the smaller boys in the kennels at the moment. I am also a member of his fan club!! :)) Xxx
Sunday 27 May 14:32
I too am a member of the Rory fan club, think he's gorgeous xxxxxxxxxx
Sunday 27 May 13:29
Thanks lisa 1875 for taking Rory out this morning. He's my current favourite, my current phone screensaver and I love him to bits!
I agree he is a lovely chap, and he makes me smile when he "talks" to you - we have quite lengthy conversations on occasion! Such a friendly boy, I cant quite understand why he's had no interest shown in him yet.
Big cuddles to a special boy. xx
Sunday 27 May 13:07
We had the pleasure of taking gorgeous Rory to Bruton park today. What a lovely chap he is. He wanted to join in with the fun when he saw other dogs running off lead but he understands no and walked beautifully. He liked the trip in the van with our two and likes children and squeaky toys ????. Love him. X
Sunday 20 May 18:19
A cuddle for Rory today, hope his forever home comes along soon xxxxx
Monday 14 May 19:48
I don't know where this exuberent boy gets his energy from! He walks really nicely on the lead. I think he would keep walking indefinately! He is interested in everything. Good fun xxxx
Friday 11 May 21:02
I like Rory, he is energetic, doesn't like to be overlooked insisting he gets his fair share of strokes. he loves his walks xx
Monday 07 May 22:20
Lovely photo of Rory in the pool :) He is a very happy lad. Tried to,get my three to play in the water today....but they were having none of it! They looked at me as if I had gone completely mad and went back into the house! :))) Xxx
Monday 07 May 18:42
Fantastic photo, thanks Wispa'sMum, how sweet bless him xxxx
Monday 07 May 17:12
here you go shanishoo - a photo of Rory gently choosing his next toy out of the pool as we were filling it!
Monday 07 May 16:49
Great to hear Rory has has a great time in the pool, would have loved to have seen him splashing about bless him xxxxx
Monday 07 May 14:59
Rory was having so much fun in the paddling pool this morning. He gently took each toy out of the pool and carried it off into the back kennel and dropped it on the bed - until he got to a bone which had sunk to the floor of the pool.
He was pawing at the water trying to get it, tried to pick it up with his teeth but didn't like putting his nose under water, and eventually it tipped on end and he got it out - full marks for perseverance!!
He then discovered it was great fun to "dig up" the water, just like he was scratching in the dirt, and water was flying everywhere!! He was having an absolute ball and it was such a joy to see him so happy and playful - no wonder he's exhausted now bless him, he's had a busy time.
Just LOVE this boy and I think he's going to be my next screensaver, big cuddles. xxx
Thursday 03 May 20:11
Well Rory may have had a lot of races but he still has loads vvroom. He enjoys his walks, is interested in whats going on and enjoys his cuddles!! xx
Friday 06 Apr 07:37
Ahhh ha ha love how Rory in looking straight into the camera on the one shot. Handsome chap he is!! Good luck little man xx
Thursday 05 Apr 20:44
Oh rory what an endearing greying face, just beautiful. Hoping you get your forever home soon xxx
Thursday 05 Apr 20:09
Fell in love with this lad today, don't think his tail stopped wagging at all, he's so friendly and jumps up for a cuddle. He was great to take photos with too, such a photogenic boy. Infact he had such an impression on me I was tempted to sneak him into my dad's car after stealing many cuddles from him all day! Sadly I am not in a position to, so fingers crossed this fun loving boy doesn't get over looked and he finds his forever home soon :) xxx
Thursday 05 Apr 19:41
I like the look of this chap, sounds wonderful too xxxx
Thursday 05 Apr 16:11
Had the pleasure of meeting this happy hound today and he's a really fun loving boy. He's a super playful affectionate dog who put a smile on everyone's face today. I think he will be snapped up quickly xx
Thursday 05 Apr 16:02
Oh my goodness what a happy, friendly waggy dog Rory is. I look forward to walking him xx

Mount Pleasant beer lovers will soon have to drive just a little bit farther to get to their local brewery. Scott Vaccaro and the Captain Lawrence Brewing Company staff will be moving to a larger facility in Elmsford later this year.
This means they will leave their current Pleasantville location, but not until the 18,250 square foot site at 444 Saw Mill River Road is fully operational.
"Nothing here is going to be sold off until we're fully operational," said Randy Shull, Captain Lawrence's chief IT/computer engineer and "Jack of all trades," according to their website. "So, there will be no gap in beer."
Additionally, the new 1,500 square foot tasting room is four times larger, which will accommodate this wholesale brewery's growing retail business.
This past Thanksgiving, Vaccaro and crew added Thursdays from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm to their tasting room hours, which already included Fridays from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm and Saturdays from noon to 6:00 pm.
"Just like we do around the holiday season - Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years - we were opening up that extra day to take some of the pressure off of Fridays," Shull said. "Then we just decided to give it a shot and keep it going."
On the Captain Lawrence website, Vaccaro, who couldn't be reached for comment, wrote, "It was always my dream, from the time I brewed my first batch of home brew, to open a brewery and bring fresh and exciting beers to the place I grew up; Westchester County."
The extended tasting room hours, which allow retail customers to sample, then fill their growler - a 64 ounce plastic jug - with whichever style of beer on tap they fancy, are still on a trial basis. But Shull said they have been garnering a great turnout since its inception.
Captain Lawrence leaves 99 Castleton St. after five and a half years, along with the bustling Pleasantville crowds who filled the cozy, bar-side tasting room. Shull acknowledged they will be losing the walking-distance proximity to the train.
"That's something we're not going to have at the new place, but I think we're going to be more easily accessible because we'll have the Sprain, Saw Mill and 287," he said. "Everyone's going to benefit because there will be more Captain Lawrence, not just on tap, but also on the shelves."
The new location also offers an additional 5000 square feet for expansion and the five vessel, 40 barrel automated brew house will allow them to operate at five times the capacity of their current location.
"The new site has been designed to accommodate our growing needs as a brewery and as a destination for people wanting to taste fresh beer at its source," according the Captain Lawrence website.

A two-week limit forced us kicking and screaming out of our water-front Pt. Hudson Marina location in downtown Port Townsend. And since we were unable to get a ferry to Whidbey Island on Sunday due to the crowded weekend schedule, we decided to return to the Escapee's park in Chimacum for a couple of days so we could arrange for a visit with long-time friends, Dick and Hazel, whom we first met 14 years ago near Puerto Escondido, on the southwest coast of Mexico, and now reside (when they're not traveling) in Bellingham, WA.
Hazel just had knee replacement surgery and is doing lots of strengthening exercises to prepare for their mid-October, month long trip to Europe, cruising the rivers of Austria, Germany, France and Switzerland. Due to macular degeneration she is considered legally blind and also had a pacemaker installed a few years back to correct some heart-beat abnormalities....and did I mention both she and Dick are a very young 85, and absolutely refuse to stop.....period!

Yes, Neil Young Was Once Signed to Motown
Over the last 50-plus years, the only constant in Neil Young's career has been change -- he's dabbled in a dizzying array of genres, frequently swapping personnel along the way. It's happened so often, in fact, that one of Young's oddest forays is also one of his least well-known: his early stint as the guitarist in the Mynah Birds, a Canadian band featuring funk star Rick 'Superfreak' James.
In an impressively in-depth post at the Young fansite Thrasher's Wheat, author Nick Warburton retraces how it all went down, and how the Birds went from just another rock band to holding the honor of being the first Canadian group to be signed to Detroit's legendary Motown Records.
Of course, as diehard Young fans are aware, the band's brush with fame was short-lived; James was wanted by the FBI after going AWOL from the U.S. Navy, and his surrender brought a premature end to sessions for what was to be the Mynah Birds' Motown debut. Young headed for L.A. with bassist Bruce Palmer, the duo went on to found Buffalo Springfield together, and the rest is history.
But that isn't the whole story -- not even close. To read the rest of Warburton's detailed rundown of the Mynah Birds' history -- including what the rest of the band did after losing James, Young, and Palmer -- head over to Thrasher's Wheat!

Questions To Ask A When Making Use Of For A MortgageIt certainly might not be as well lengthy prior to most house owners may in fact rent to purchase property initially as it has a number of advantages involved in it. So if I appear at all the benefits I have, here are a few of them that anybody can expect. These are not stated on orderly basis, but it definitely is your personal choice.
Something the realtor will advise you is maintain the home spotless every working day. Interested parties should always be welcome to walk into the house and be in a position to envision their belongings in the home. This is fairly tough to do if all your things and paperwork are using up area.
If you want to promote your personal home, it's important to know that about 70%twenty five of house purchasers begin their search on the Internet. There are numerous websites that give full information about homes for sale. They include cost, number of bedrooms and baths, deal with, interior and exterior pictures, and much more. If the home you have for sale doesn't have this type of Web presence, you are putting yourself at an extreme drawback.
To illustrate this stage, let's say a borrower owns a commercial developing free and distinct and wants to borrow $150,000 towards it and today it appraises for $200,000. A couple of years in the past your bank would have jumped up and snagged that mortgage but these days you ask your self, what if the home drops in value to much less than the amount the financial institution is intending to lend? The reality is it very nicely could, and then you would just have added an additional poisonous asset to the bank's publications.
Organic listings are the outcomes that appear Beneath and to the still left of paid out advertisements when you lookup Google for a key phrase phrase that you want more information about. For example, allow's say that I was in an accident target and required to get in touch with an lawyer in Ga. I may go to Google and type in something like "attorneys in Georgia". If I lived in Nevada and was looking for Lafleur Davey or if I needed to move to Nevada, I may type in "homes for revenue in Las Vegas".
What is even even worse is that they only focus on one type of offer, they only learn how to structure click here a particular type of transaction. So now they are, for instance, looking high and low for a seller and a buyer that fit a extremely narrow established of criteria- and ONLY that scenario.
A great way to start studying true value is to lookup genuine estate listings and visit open houses in your area. This will help you get a really feel for nearby pricing. When visiting open up houses, go to types that are more costly and much less costly than your home. The much more you see, the much more you will start to understand what your home is really worth and what worth issues like a bedroom or bathroom include.

If you're trying to finish your Christmas shopping and baking, don't worry… there's still time. However, we're already looking forward to 2017 and what it will bring in terms of design trends. We're especially excited about how far the humble garage has come in the New Millennium, which, now 17 years in, isn't all that "new" anymore. We expect to see several trends in garage design and garage remodeling in the coming year, particularly these five:
1) More tech: Technology is everywhere, and you would be hard-pressed to find someone who isn't using it in some way. Garage tech is gaining momentum and is poised to become commonplace in the next 20 years. For now, there are lots of ways homeowners can retrofit an existing garage with tech gadgets of all kinds. How about laser guided parking? For as little as $40, you can purchase a device that will guide a car's driver into his parking spot in the garage and keep him from hitting the back wall. It's just one of many tech gadgets currently available specifically for use in the garage.
2) More "smart:" Not only is the 2017 garage going to get techy-er, it's also going to get smarter. Many homeowners have already adopted smart technology into their homes, and they're discovering that what works there also works in the garage. The newest garage doors are just one example, starting with getting rid of that pesky garage door opener. Smart garage doors can be controlled through your smartphone, and some can even be controlled remotely (like when your neighbor phones you on vacation in Mexico to tell you that you forgot to close your garage door). Smart light bulbs are also finding their way into garages. These LED bulbs turn on via motion detector and self-adjust depending on how much sunlight is available to augment their illumination during the day time. They cost approximately 4 to 10 times more than ordinary bulbs, but the energy savings will eventually offset the cost of the initial purchase.
3) More re-purposing: Upcycled is the new "new," and re-purposing items and materials for the garage is becoming more and more popular. Re-purposing can be done in all kinds of ways in the garage: using cast-off wood from demolition projects to remodel, re-designing and finishing old and salvaged doors and other garage accessories, and even little things like using empty coffee cans for rope dispensers.
4) More efficient storage/less buying: Homeowners are becoming much more aware of the problems associated with consumerism and, at the same time, growing increasingly intolerant of clutter in the garage. This, coupled with the fact that it costs money and/or time to dispose of anything here in Greater Vancouver, homeowners are simply buying less stuff that they'll have to store or dispose of later. They're also becoming more efficient when it comes to garage storage by taking advantage of all available wall, floor and ceiling space for creative storage of everything from tools to winter tires to seasonal decorations.
5) More multi-use: There has been a continuing trend over the last two decades to make spaces as functional as possible by creating more multi-use spaces in the home. That philosophy has trickled over into the garage. The Man Cave – garage is one of the most popular garage upgrades and we anticipate more of these in 2017. Larger, rural properties with free-standing garages are adding guest quarters to their garages, either attic or loft-style, which still leaves room for vehicle parking, another trend that we predict will rise in 2017.
Ready to join the wave yourself and create a multi-use garage? Tailored Living has all the products and accessories you need, plus great advice and free in-home consultation to get you started.

He wants to change the Cynthia McKinney highway back to Memorial Highway. Actually, though, when I saw the AJC headline, I thought it would be about the Billy McKinney HIghway, which you and I know as the north side of 285. I passed those signs on Friday and wondered why on earth we'd want to keep a highway named after someone who can't help himself but the blame the J-E-W-S for everything.

Bill Stephens tried that a few years ago on one of the late nights just before the end of the session, if I recall…it was hilarious to see all the crazy Dems up in arms over their beloved McKinney's and Stephens slyly grinning as he sufferred the brunt of the democratic black caucuses wrath…utlimately, I believe he withdrew his amendment – I don't remember exactly – should have passed it back then.
Ben Marshall says:
I believe it passed the Senate, but didn't pass the House because the Dems were still in control of the House at that point.
atlantaman says:
This is a great reason why roads and memorials need only be named for dead politicians.
candlerparkliberal says:
I agree atlantaman. I would love a law that says that nothing can be REnamed. Next time the powers that be want to honor some illustrious georgian let them name something new.
Also (I'm on a roll now) it drives me up the wall that when something does get named after someone it has to be their entire damn name! So that's the corrolary to the no renaming rule, no full names either.
I'm sure there is a more recent REnaming but the most recent one that comes to mind is the renaming of Bankhead Hwy to Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway. If one were to rename bankhead I would have pulled for crackhead hwy but if Mr H was worth honoring what would have been wrong with just Hollowell Parkway? Does any other city regularly put peoples middle names on streets?
whew, ranting over
RiverRat says:
As much as I dislike McKinney, Sen. Butler made a good point about this being really a DeKalb county issue, which Sen. Walker has no interest in other than some political grandstanding before McKinney is gone and the GOP can't get any more mileage out of her.
Erick, wouldn't you tell some Atlanta senator who wanted to rename something in Macon because he found it offensive to butt out? I believe there is a Lester Maddox Parkway or some such road in Ellijay. Anyone up that direction want folks from Decatur telling them what to name their road?
I wish the road hadn't been named after her in the first place, and I probably prefer to see it changed back. But Sen. Walker is just grandstanding, nothing else. Surely he has something more valuable to do with his time?
Jas says:
The Lester and Virginia Maddox Parkway is actually Northside Pkwy from GA Tech all the way out to Paces Ferry
Decaturguy says:
This is stupid grandstanding, Erick. I dislike Cynthia McKinney and think she is an embarassment, but what does a State Rep. from Loganville care about a road in Dekalb County. She's been defeated, she ain't coming back, lets leave it along.
If we rename her road, I think you are opening up the door for a bunch of other disreputable people who have roads named after them all across Georgia. Why stop with Cynthia? Rev. Lowery has a road named after him and he said some nasty things about our great President.
DutchDawg says:
Didn't Billy McKinney pull a knife on the floor of the house when he was a Rep.? I LOVE THAT GUY!

Event Location:
Artur Matuck
Telemedia artists and writers working with the medium of telecommunication have been utilizing a form of meta-creation when conceiving, planning, and designing their mostly interactive events. They have engendered meta-discourses when conceiving tele-active events, thus inaugurating a form of bi-phasic or multi-phasic creative expression. Some systemic tele-writing experiments, conceived and carried out between 1983 and 1992, are reviewed and evaluated as forms of expression involving meta-authoriship and collective expression. They represent the first events in which writers collaborated through computer networks, inaugurating a new form of authorship, an unheard-of form of writing, a learning textual experience. Since then writing through the networks has become a daily activity. But the model of writing conceived by those early net-authors remains an important tool to understand and to theorize about emerging forms of contemporary digital writing the networks have been supporting. The acknowledgement of the peculiarity of this meta-language, actualized through media partitions as project designs, has naturally led to a pedagogical project, in which teaching focuses in the creation, not of an actual creative work, but in the exercizing of meta-authorship, in the production of meta-texts.
Artur Matuck has been teaching Communications, Media Arts and Literature at the University of São Paulo, Brazil since 1984. He has worked as writer, visual artist, performer and media designer. He has delivered conference papers and participated in workshops worldwide and has exhibited artworks in several São Paulo Biennials. In 1990 he completed a history of video art and interactive television published in Brazil as The Dialogical Potential of Television. During 1991 he conceived and produced Reflux, a pioneer worldwide project on net collaboration. In 1995 he started experimenting with text-reprocessing software. Landscript, his text-reprocessing site, was featured at the 25th São Paulo Biennial International in 2002. Since 2001 he has coordinated the international symposium Acta Media on media arts and digital culture at the University of São Paulo. He also founded the Colabor Center for Digital Languages which is designed to integrate student and faculty research through computer-mediated collaboration. His most recent work involves theoretical and philosophical research on media languages as they relate to thought evolution and human rights in a digital age.

Ribble Valley Prospective Labour Parliamentary Candidate David Hinder has announced that Labour will field a record number of candidates in this May's Ribble Valley Borough Council local elections.
Speaking to members prior to the campaign launch later this month, Mr Hinder said: "Since coming second in the General Election in 2010, Labour Party support in the Ribble Valley has continued to grow in local, county and European elections. This May, for the first time, Labour intend to fight every council seat."
Ribble Valley Branch Campaign Team Manager Charles Cathcart commented: "I am delighted at the number of first time candidates who will be standing on May 7th. The strong interest from Young Labour members has been particularly pleasing."
Mr Hinder continued: "The recent defection to the Conservatives by Clitheroe Lib-Dem councillor Ruth Hargreaves highlights the need for an effective opposition on Ribble Valley Council. Local people deserve an alternative to the Tweedledum and Tweedledee arrangements that have led to ineffective opposition and a local planning shambles.
"Whether the Lib-Dems hope to defend Coun. Hargreaves' 63 vote majority over Labour remains to be seen. This episode once again illustrates the need for a change at local level from the cosy arrangements that sadly filter down from the Coalition Government."
Mr Hinder added: "'No go areas' for Ribble Valley Labour are a thing of the past. More importantly, this May's fiercely contested local elections will be a ringing endorsement of the healthy state of local democracy."

After 7 great years at JRPArch, I am leaving to take a position with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, LLP's New York Office, as a Senior Digital Design Coordinator. It will be a fantastic opportunity to work on some of the most amazing architectural commissions in the world. As well as, a chance to help push Autodesk Revit (and BIM in general) to the bleeding edge.

I am a little nervous about the adjustments necessary to work in a such a large firm, but looking forward to the resources that such an environment affords. It will be exciting to work at a firm with such a pioneering technology pedigree. If you have a few minutes you can catch a glimpse of what Digital Design at SOM is all about by reading Paul Seletskys's Digital Design in the Age of Building Simulation, an AECBytes Viewpoint article. Paul is the Director of Digital Design at the New York office, and recruited me for my new position.

Friday will be my last day at JRPArch. I will miss all of my co-workers, including my brother-in-law, Taylor and my sister-in-law, Lauren, and, of course, my boss (and father-in-law), Jack Parry. Jack has been an outstanding mentor to me throughout my career, and I can honestly say that I would not be where I am today without his guidance, support and friendship. To his credit, he took the news of my departure, very well. Though disappointed in my decision to leave the firm, he respected my wishes and was very proud of me at the same time.

My contact information will be updated as soon as I have it.

Wish me Luck,

Unfortunately it is not really possible to get volumetric effects like this with Revit's implementation of accurender. But all is not lost, you can easily fake this effect in the photo manipulation software of your choice!

Here is revit rendering I did a few years ago, it looks OK, but it would be great if we could give it some "life".

Adding a glow to the lights and lit windows helps a lot.

Better right? It lends some warmth to the image. Now lets see how to do it. Please note that I am using Photoshop 6 for this tutorial but this should work in almost any version of Photoshop, paint shop pro, or possibly Photoshop elements. As long as your software supports transfer modes this should work.

Step 1: Create the glow layer.
Start with you raw rendered image, duplicate the "background" layer and name it "Glow".

Step 2: Adjust the levels of the glow layer.
With the glow layer selected, go up to the pull down menus and select Image Adjust Levels or simply press "crtl + L" Now comes the subjective part, adjust the sliders until your image pretty much only shows the secular highlights, by that I mean only the brightest parts (ie the lights)

Here is what my level settings were:

And here is what the image looks like:

Not very nice right, but just wait.

Step 3: Blur to taste.
Next apply a gaussian blur to the glow layer. Do this by selecting Filter Blur Guassian Blur… from the pull down menu. Adjust the radius to you liking, personally I typically use a blur radius of 4 pixels.

Ok here is what the image looks like now, still not much. We'll fix that in the last step.

Step 4: Set the glow layers transfer mode to Screen.
I won't into detail about image transfer modes here, but you should learn what the do, as they are very powerful. In our case simply set the transfer mode from Normal to Screen for the glow layer by using the pull down menu on the layer tab.
Optionally, you can adjust the opacity of the glow layer to make the effect more subtle, or even edit color balance slightly to change the color of the glow.

Thats about it! Here is my final image.
