BOSTON — It's one thing if Kevin Durant or Stephen Curry is lighting you up and rubbing it in your face afterward. It's quite another if Zaza Pachulia is doing the same.
Yes, the latter actually happened at TD Garden on Friday night.
In the middle of the Golden State Warriors' huge run against the Boston Celtics in the third quarter, Pachulia hit a pretty standard midrange shot. Then, the Warriors big man did this:
We're not sure what Pachulia was thinking here, but it deserves another look.
Pachulia's celebration added insult to injury for the Celtics, who were outscored 31-9 in the third quarter en route to a 104-88 loss. Boston rookie Jaylen Brown, for one, didn't find the whole thing very amusing.
"Yeah, I felt it was a little disrespectful," Brown said. "Like when Zaza was doing what he was doing? Yeah, I didn't think that was too cool.
"But hey, man, they won the game at the end of the day, and next time we've got to come out and punch them in the mouth. Like not (literally) — figuratively."
The Celtics will have to wait until March 8 for their rematch with Golden State. Until then, we'll be left to decipher what compelled Pachulia to spontaneously ride an imaginary pony on the Garden parquet.
"It's an inside joke," Pachulia explained. "(Durant) did it last game, so just made fun of him. … No disrespect to the opposing team."
Pachulia admitted he saw a video of his dance after the game and concluded, "It was pretty bad." His teammates seemed to agree.

The TransAM Asset Management Platform Reaches a New Milestone
Reflecting the dramatic growth, impact and continued promise of TransAM—the first open-source asset management platform for transportation—Cambridge Systematics (CS) welcomes Kyle Emge in the new role of TransAM Product Line Manager.
"TransAM's place in the market has matured over the past five years; it now calls for a dedicated Product Line Manager who will help the platform to continue evolving in response to the emerging needs of transportation agencies," said Eric Ziering, Executive Vice President, CS Software. "We're excited to have Kyle Emge join the team. He has the background and focus our clients need to identify and implement a long-term vision for the platform, provide oversight on deliverables, and actively engage with agencies to help ensure that the platform's progression keeps pace and strategically matches the market's needs."
Mr. Emge joins CS Software with a track record of success managing a proprietary, off-the-shelf transportation grant management system as well as a deep understanding of the transportation industry and capital programs from his work at Massachusetts DOT. Previous to his work at MassDOT, Mr. Emge developed new funding policies and procedures for transportation revenue proposals as a Senior Fiscal Policy Analyst for the Massachusetts Senate Committee on Ways & Means. Mr. Emge served in the U.S. Navy for five years and holds a master degree in international relations focused on transportation from the University of Massachusetts.
Cambridge Systematics developed the TransAM platform in 2012 with the Virginia Department of Rail & Public Transit and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's Bureau of Public Transportation, funded in part by the Federal Transit Association's State of Good Repair Grant to help streamline Federal asset reporting and grant management. Since then, it has grown to meet changing requirements as well as the specific needs of an expanding group of agencies using TransAM.
Today, more than 250 transit agencies and State DOTs rely on TransAM with many contributing to its funded enhancements that help ensure the platform constantly expands to meet new regulations and support more effective asset management. They also form a community of agencies that, no matter their location or size, collaborate on best practices. In his role, Mr. Emge will help further the growth and collaboration that emerge from TransAM's open-source platform and practices.
For more information on TransAM or to learn how the platform can support your goals, contact Kyle Emge at email@example.com.

First Aid Advice For Mild Insect Stings
What to do if you're stung and having a mild reaction?
Your aim with a casualty who has been stung is to reduce as far as possible any swelling or discomfort.
If the casualty is showing any of the following signs or symptoms you need to call "999" immediately for help and advice!
- They Have a known allergy to stings
- They Lose consciousness and/or become unresponsive

First Aid For Mild Insect Sting Reactions
Signs and symptoms of a mild reaction to insect stings
- Fear and anxiety
- Localised Swelling
- Skin blistering
- Pain
- Nausea
- Hot, constricted
- Mild, raised itchy rash (hives)
What to do next
Make yourself safe, with a physical barrier or good distance between you and any stinging insects.
Bees use the sting as a defence whereas wasps use the sting as a means of subduing insect prey which is why a bee has barbs to ensure the sting stays in and a wasp sting does not, so it can sting multiple times.
Being stung is an experience some people are indifferent too, for others though the experience can be terrifying. First you feel a very sharp, searing or burning pain, then a throbbing discomfort that can last for days.
The area affected will often present with a white swollen centre that can sometimes blister and weep surrounded by a red ring. This blister can become infected and even scar. A venom extractor is often very effective in limiting any blistering or prolonged swelling, but is unlikely to significantly reduce the pain experienced.
The bee sting needs to be removed as soon as possible to reduce the continued flow of venom from the venom sack attached to the sting. To remove the sting take a finger nail, credit card or blade and scrape the sting off. Avoid using tweezers as you may compress the venom sack and inject more venom into the sting site.
Once the sting is removed wash the injury site with soap and water, elevate it where possible and apply a cold compress a bag of frozen peas or similar wrapped in a cloth should be fine.
Contact NHS Direct, your GP or visit your local NHS walk-in-centre if symptoms persist for more than 24 hours or you feel they are getting worse. Remember some people have delayed reactions that might include, fever, swollen glands, and joint pain
Oral and or topical cream and spray based antihistamines may help and always read the label.

> Congested - red appearance to face
> Rapid pulse
> Hives and a severe raised red rash, spreading across the body
What to do next
Make yourself safe, with a physical barrier or good distance between you and any stinging insects.
Keep the casualty calm, reassured and still, to minimise the systemic spread of venom.
Call 999 immediately and follow advice
Assist a conscious casualty to take an EPI PEN if they have one
Remove any sting or stings still in place as quickly as possible
If the casualty becomes unconscious place them in the recovery position
If the casualty is unresponsive and not breathing normally begin CPR
Wait for qualified help to arrive
First Aid & Treatment Advice On Stings
Insect stings in the UK are common thanks to a healthy number of insect species, all with the ability to sting, like Wasps and Bees. This means that they inject venom into you via a sting or stinger which is a modified egg-laying (ovipositor) tube, through the skin directly into your soft tissues and blood stream.
Venom attacks the body in different ways depending on it's composition. The danger with venom is that everyone reacts to wasps stings and bee stings differently and as such most people who are stung only experience localised pain and swelling, and are generally unaware how dangerous a sting can be.
Anaphylactic Shock From Insect Stings
In some people stings can cause a life threatening systemic reaction called Anaphylactic Shock that can lead to complications, causing death in under four minutes.
Of course we have medication that can help, but paramedics are not always just around the corner, nor do our mobile phones always work when we are out in the countryside so it pays to understand a little first aid about how to treat insect stings especially in respect of ants, bees and wasps.
The Main culprits are wasps and bees, but it must be stressed that they only use their sting in defense, so when you encounter these insects remember they are sensitive to movement, meaning the slower you move and the quieter you are, the less likely you are to get stung.

What is the harshest time of year for residential properties in Tennessee? The windy, rainy weather of autumn can be pretty intense, but the winters, which can bring snow and ice and freezing rain are by far the most extreme. When you work with residential hardscaping services to create a custom outdoor living space for you and your family to enjoy, it is important to work with landscaping companies in Tennessee that are knowledgeable about the seasonal weather that we experience here so you can make plans and create designs that will survive one of our typical winters.
Spring, summer and even fall are pretty mild with regard to hardscaping services in Middle TN, with many homeowners being able to use their outdoor living space for cooking, dining and entertaining for a large portion of the year. Any hardscaping plans that you use must take into account the natural weather patterns that we get in the region throughout the year. Frost heaving, foot traffic, snow loads and melting snow can potentially cause a lot of damage to patios, sidewalks, paths, walkways, driveways, retaining walls and other residential hardscaping services and elements in Tennessee.
Choosing Your Materials Wisely
When it comes to creating a patio that will survive a Middle TN winter, the best place to start is in the choice of materials that will be used. Native stone, such as river rock, flag stone, field stone and other types of rock can all be used to create a long-lasting, durable base for your outdoor living space. By choosing materials that are native to the area, you are assured that they will be able to stand up to the punishment of local weather patterns without breaking, cracking or fading over time. Consider floating foundations which would allow for water from winter thaws to flow through the surface, as well as polymetric sand, which can be used to create permanent pavers that won't shift or move with temperature changes.
Preparing the Area
One of the main reasons why you should work only with local hardscaping services in Middle TN is because they will have a greater understanding of how you need to prepare the area for your outdoor living space. The type of soil and conditions in Tennessee are vastly different from what residential hardscaping services in California or Texas would have to deal with, so some knowledge of the local area should be required. Preparing the space by leveling the ground and then providing permeable options for water to flow through when it rains or when the snow melts is also very important. Once again, having knowledge of the local area plays a huge part in creating a quality outdoor living space.
Experience You Can Trust
Hardscaping services in Middle TN need to have a lot of experience in the building of structures. Tall fireplaces, retaining walls, patios and stone kitchen facings must be properly installed to prevent them from coming apart or becoming dangerous to the people who use them. For example, retaining walls that are not properly built have been known to fall over unexpectedly or develop buckles and bulges over time. You need to know that the landscaping companies in Tennessee that you work with for your outdoor living space project have done enough of these projects in the past to give them the hands-on experience required to provide you with professional results.
Proper Care and Maintenance
Once you have your brand new space design and built, more care is needed. Your residential hardscaping services provider should give you tips and suggestions on how to properly maintain your natural stone, brick or synthetic veneer surfaces to protect them from damage. Hiring landscaping companies in Tennessee to provide you with ongoing maintenance of your outdoor living space can help, but if you are going to do it yourself, there are some tools and methods that you can no longer use. Some of those tools and methods include:
- harsh chemicals for snow and ice removal
- metal snow shovels and snow chains
- wire brushes and brooms
- solvents that contain dyes that could stain
- cleaning fluids not recommended for natural stone

I received my final block last week. Thanks to all of Hive 4 for making these bright blocks for me.
I made an additional 33 blocks to add to them and make it twin size.
For the last couple of days, I laid it out and pieced the rows together. (I so hate borders.) And between measurements and extra lengths it is my least favorite of all jobs except piecing a back.
But It Is Together! Alleluia!
Total 58 by 91 inches.
I have a gorgeous stripe for the binding.
And it is going to the quilter as soon as I get my batting... and the back pieced.
Here are the 2 grandboys for Father's Day. They were inhaling food after shoveling and shoveling sand into the lake. Jensen is the one on the left and this quilt is for his big boy bed. He is 2 and a half.

Leocoin Mining 5770 – The Only Choice: The Affluence Network
We would like to thank you for visiting The Affluence Network in search of "Leocoin Mining 5770" online. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for broadcast transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and validate these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they can get transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which implies the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the number of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all existing bitcoins. This situation is just not to suggest that markets usually are not exposed to price exploitation, yet there's no need for large sums of money to transfer market prices up or down. The slightest events in the world market can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. As one of the oldest forms of making money is in cash lending, it is a fact that you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on business of Bitcoin, but I'm certain there will be one or two who will already have arrived in/nearby that may give other currencies. Some sites are currently outside: valves: these are sites where you fill in a captcha after a specific time period and are rewarded with a little number of coins for that faucet. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of pat into the currency of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some sites of pat include: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. The new ones are always popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity too. How to come up with a sensible plan and examine it in the light of these complications? Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or any regulatory agencies. Therefore, it truly is more immune to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy threats. Security and privacy can readily be attained by simply being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they participate in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used within an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.
Leocoin Mining 5770: The Affluence Network: Escape the Financial Meltdown
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Instability of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business that could lead to business being unable to continue to manage or to cease operation. You have probably seen this often times where you usually spread the good word about crypto. "It's not unstable? What goes on when the price failures? " sofar, several POS devices presents free conversion of fiat, alleviating some concern, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, a lot of people is likely to be unwilling to keep any. We must find a method to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network has become the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that offer long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally connects in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the right location at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these businesses decide how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is happening to discover how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to phone to get it mended. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any focused firm. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a committed supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current built-in problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. Many individuals choose to use a currency deflation, especially those who want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial privacy, for instance, is amazing for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living pay check to pay check, it'd take place included in your riches, with the remainder reserved for other currencies. When searching forLeocoin Mining 5770, there are many things to consider.

Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Leocoin Mining 5770. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: as a result of dynamics of the protocol by which it's transacted. All exchanges on a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. As soon as you're paid, you get paid. This is simply not anything short-term where your web visitors can dispute or need a concessions, or employ illegal sleight of palm. In practice, most merchants will be a good idea to use a cost processor, due to the irreversible dynamics of crypto-currency deals, you must be sure that security is hard. With any kind of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers might get access to your private tips and so take your money. Unfortunately, you almost certainly can never have it back. It's very important for you yourself to undertake some very good safe and secure routines when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing so will guard you from all of these bad activities. In the event of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might actually be dealt being a thing. Supporters of cryptocurrencies announce that kind of personal income is not managed with a key bank system and it is not thus subject to the whims of its inflation. Since there are always a minimal number of products, this coinis benefit is founded on market forces, letting owners to deal over cryptocurrency transactions. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers claim that there is "actual" value, even through there is no physical representation of that value. The value increases due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that's worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some sort of reward so that you can ensure the shortfall. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which can be among the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions resides.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be simply that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It is also possible the regulators just don't comprehend the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a specific address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the same way a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is simply a representation of value, but there isn't any real tangible type of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal constraints enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed.

Adios To All The Drama, January 2009
Amigas And School Scandals, November 2008
Suspense�it�s just a fancy word for �drama,� and we�ve all experienced our fair
share of drama. Whether you�re waiting for a career-changing email, sitting by
the phone desperate for a text from you-know-who, or dreading going to a family
party because you�re fighting with all your siblings, suspense is what makes
life interesting. As much as we all might say we �hate drama,� life would be
pretty boring if we just woke up, ate cereal, went to school, came home, and
went to bed. So for me, writing suspense means letting the everyday grit of
reality bleed into my novels.
My latest book, PROOF OF
LIES, is an international spy thriller and while I�ve never actually chased
a dangerous criminal through the murky canals of Venice, that doesn�t mean I
haven�t experienced my fair share of crazy. So here are three ways that I�ve
used my own life to create suspense in the lives of my characters.
Ultimately, suspense is a part of life�whether it�s the anticipation of
Christmas morning or the agonizing hours spent in a hospital waiting room.
Hopefully, for you, it doesn�t mean fighting an international ring of super
spies, but for Anastasia Phoenix it does. And despite her being set on an
intense suspenseful journey, I still hope you find yourself somewhere inside of
PROOF OF LIES. Because
there�s a little bit of my reality on every page.
Some secrets are best kept hidden�
Anastasia Phoenix has always been the odd girl out, whether moving from city
to international city with her scientist parents or being the black belt who
speaks four languages.
And most definitely as the orphan whose sister is missing, presumed dead.
She�s the only one who believes Keira is still alive, and when new evidence
surfaces, Anastasia sets out to follow the trail―and lands in the middle
of a massive conspiracy. Now she isn�t sure who she can trust. At her side is
Marcus, the bad boy with a sexy accent who�s as secretive as she is. He may have
followed her to Rome to help, but something about him seems too good to be true.
Nothing is as it appears, and when everything she�s ever known is revealed to
be a lie, Anastasia has to believe in one impossibility.
She will
find her sister.

A new motoring survey has found that one in two car owners in Ireland upgrade their car every five years.
The bi-annual Carzone index, which it says examines trends in the Irish motoring market, highlights the continued rise in used car sales in Ireland as people upgrade their car more regularly. When changing their car, 47 per cent tend to stick with the same marque indicating that brand loyalty remains high among Irish drivers.
It says that their report is compiled by analysing data from the 67 million searches carried out on Carzone in the first five months of 2017, as well as an in-depth survey of 2,647 Irish motorists and a cross section of car retailers in Ireland.
It says that insurance was named as the main financial concern for motorists once again with a resounding 88 per cent saying they noticed a rise in their insurance premium in the last year.
Fuel was the second biggest concern followed by road tax and costs associated with the NCT.
On average half (51%) spend between €120 and €150 running their car each month while 13 per cent say it can cost anywhere from €151 to €200 per month.
No surprise in the report finding that city dwellers are more likely to drive a petrol car than their rural counterparts. Just half (51%) of those based in an urban area have a diesel car, compared to 81 per cent of those who live rurally. Women are also more likely to drive a petrol car than men (48% vs. 17%).
In line with changing trends in motoring, the survey questioned respondents on their attitudes to car technology. Over two thirds (69%) say that a car's technology plays an important role in their purchasing decision. However, it seems it has a bigger influence over men than women. Over 3 in 4 men polled say that car tech is very important when buying a car compared to just under half of women (43%). Its importance also carries more weight with the 25-34 age group with 91% citing it as a very important factor.
Two thirds (65%) believe that in-car technology has made them a better driver and 70 per cent say it makes driving more enjoyable. When it comes to must-have tech, 47 per cent say they can't live without their trusty GPS and a quarter can't do without a Bluetooth handsfree kit.
However, overall the outlook for the industry is positive with consumers now changing their car more frequently and premium car marques are some of the most sought after vehicles by drivers.

Open Access Week
What is Open Access?
Open Access is a publishing model in which academic information is published digitally, and freely available on the Internet. Open Access Week promotes awareness of this new way of publishing scholarly information.
Why is Open Access Important?
Traditionally, government funds universities, which in turn support researchers, researchers write papers for journals, free of charge, and volunteer to sit on journal editorial boards. Journal publishers then sell the content back to university libraries through subscriptions, meaning that government and universities are paying multiple times for the same research. Open Access provides access without cost to the user. As journal costs increase, this accessibility becomes more important for students and researchers. For more information about the differences, watch this short video:

I simply love the Dapper Dans. They are the funny, charming, and so talented. I think they make the perfect all-American form of entertainment to grace Main Street U.S.A. Many guests agree, however those who don't know about them are truly missing out on some special moments they can create.
The Dans sing, tap dance (my favorite!), and entertain guests for multiple performances every day in the Magic Kingdom. Hearing their beautiful voices every morning while I walk down Main Street is quite literally music to my ears. They never fail to bring a huge cheesy grin to my face. Sometimes, I even sing along!
Every morning the Dans take a ride in the horse drawn carriage down Main Street from a stop by Cinderella Castle. One morning last August, I was lucky enough to be walking right behind (more like following because I'm obsessed with them) the Dapper Dans when I noticed they were hopping on the carriage. When my family and I asked them if we could hop on, they welcomed us with open arms.
The Dans are keen on picking out any celebration buttons you may be sporting, and that day, I happened to be celebrating my birthday! As we were waiting to see if anyone else would hop on the empty (besides the Dans and my family) carriage, they chatted and joked with me about my birthday. A few years back, they also helped to celebrate my birthday by singing me happy birthday during their show….and calling me beautiful…and generally making my life. It's fine; It's not like I'm a fangirl or anything.
So, the driver of the carriage told us it looked like it would be only us that day, and we started our journey down Main Street. I was truly shocked nobody else wanted a ride with the Dapper Dans! However, I was thrilled because that meant we got a private ride with the Dans, where they serenaded me with happy birthday and other Disney songs. People stared as we came right down the middle of Main Street U.S.A and for a moment I felt as if I wanted the trolley music to start so I could perform for everyone! However, when I looked back at the Dans on the carriage, smiling brightly at me, I decided to simply enjoy the moment, the music, and create a memory. With the castle perfectly peeking out from behind them, it was like a moment out of an extra special storybook.
It seemed like time had frozen on that humid August morning as we leisurely strolled down past the candy colored windows and bouquets of Mickey balloons. I suppose that's how Walt had envisioned Main Street to be; he wanted it to act as a means of slowing down and enjoying a few minutes in a bygone era. A place where guests would be transported to small town USA-where the folks are friendlier, and where the air smells sweeter…or perhaps that's just the scents wafting from The Confectionary. 😉
What's your favorite part about Main Street U.S.A? Have you ever watched the Dapper Dans perform or do you have a special memory with them? Let me know in the comments!

Wow, what a day! I'm getting a bit older today. Some kind people have sent me some cards (and some e-cards).
After the day began that way, I was pleased to learn that my September issue of Linux Journal arrived.
Then, it was so nice to see a birthday present in form of a new kernel (Linux 2.2.17) being released. Hopefully it will make the feedback and VM system a bit easier on the user (now, I just need André Hedrick's IDE patch and Reiser FS ported to 2.2.17). And there's the news that KDE may be packaged to Debian, now that Qt is being dually licensed, which is übercool.
The day is not over yet and I just got my glasses fixed and now I can see the world much clearer. Uh... If all days were like this...

Maybe Teaching Is Overrated…
Elissa Good Smith was the teacher speaker at this year's Summer Institute in Philadelphia, PA. Below is her speech as prepared. You can also watch her speech!
I'm tired. I'm the kind of tired that is born from having two small children, plus a mountain of papers to grade and lesson plans to create for my six daily preps, the kind of tired that sneaks up on you after spending a decade in a classroom teaching. I'm thinking maybe teaching is overrated. Surely my favorite teachers never felt this way; they never had moments where they sat at their desk, closed their eyes, and prayed for the weekend, did they? My prayer was interrupted by a reminder email about a faculty meeting. I'm sure I rolled my eyes. I'm also sure I put on a smile as I begrudgingly walked down the hall to the auditorium to watch a video courtesy of our new principal. I found a seat next to colleagues, frustrated that the lights were turned down, so I couldn't even sneak a peek at my cell phone without being noticed.
The clip started—tick, tick, tick, tick. Sweet, I thought sarcastically—60 Minutes circa 1990—but as I began to watch that video clip where Wayne Dickey opens by saying, "People, I'm not ASKING you to get to class on time, I'm TELLING you to get to class on time," my attention was piqued. This was my introduction to AVID. I watched the video, full of students who became eager to reach their potential, and I started to get excited. I'll admit, I had some internal dialogue where my exhausted side argued with my starry-eyed 'save the world' side. My exhausted side said, "Nothing from a 10-minute video can change your teaching enough to matter," and then my starry-eyed 'save the world' side—who had apparently been quiet for far too long—stretched her legs, stood up tall, and loudly told my exhausted side to ZIP IT. In a matter of minutes, that video gave me the spark I needed to get excited for the upcoming school year. I spoke with my principal and said I was interested in being an AVID Elective coach. Later, I'd find out I was—ahem—lucky enough to be the coordinator, also.
I will admit my first steps into the AVID community were a bit selfish, as I was motivated to find something to make MY days more meaningful, probably equally as much as I wanted to impact the lives of my students. Our first year with AVID was a tough one; I'm sure many of you can remember those growing pains, and some of you may even be living them right now. Figuring out how to best select students only weeks before school began, learning how to explain the AVID phenomenon to our staff and community, and maneuvering how to adjust our schedule to fit AVID at the last minute were the tough parts. Getting excited to teach something that we knew was going to change lives—both for our students and for ourselves—that was the powerful part. Watching our students show us the way to their success, that has been the fun part.
My job as an AVID Elective coach and coordinator is to be a cartographer, a mapmaker. I must help map the multiple paths to student success. I must carefully mark out the roadblocks and snares along the way, but I am not the navigator. I can only inspire my students to start moving toward their goals, to help them use their struggles as catalysts as they venture on toward their dreams. I need to share information with them to help them know what tools to pack for the adventure and provide them with support when they need a break or need encouragement as they change direction on the journey. AVID has given me the skills to make a better map for my students and the passion to help them find the spark for themselves that has ignited their journey.
This year, we will have our first group of AVID students graduate. Some days, it's hard to believe it's been nearly half a decade since they first joined AVID. Some days, however, I'll admit it seems like it's been a liiiiittle bit longer. Their maps show destinations like the State University of New York at Brockport, SUNY Albany, the University of Buffalo, and the United States Marine Corps. I am incredibly proud of these young ladies and gentlemen. Our first AVID class is comprised of students who have nearly every excuse possible not to pick up that map and start the difficult journey to bigger dreams. You know these students—those who have lost parents, immigrated here from a war-torn nation, those who are hungry, those with families torn apart by addictions—and I know you cheer for them just as proudly as I do. As they get ready to leave us, to move on to the next phase of life, may we be sure that they feel the pride of a community behind them.
May this year be your year to make maps for your students, to help them learn to hurdle uncertainty, to bypass excuses, and to chase the X that marks the treasure held within a successful life.

Forest and Watershed Management
Forest and watershed management that is sensitive to climate change can on the one hand contribute to climate protection by sequestration of CO2 in forests. On the other hand, it helps securing energy supply via biomass energy and reduced direct impacts of extreme weather events on the energy grid by, e.g., fallen trees or flooding.
Management actions encompass the identification of critical locations and necessary measures to enhance the adaptation potential in forests including advice services and incentives. E.g., it is necessary to tackle problems associated with monocultures, lack of mixed age structures or inadequate species.
In addition, in forested watersheds the managing of forest resources has impacts on hydrological and geomorphological processes during weather extrems. Management of forested watersheds supports the control of the amount and timing of water yield, stormflow, water quality, and sedimentation through the examination of water and sediment budgets, riparian systems, and hillslope/watershed hydrological processes.
This measure is closely linked to the measure Forest Management in the AMICA Adaptation Tool.

How are sex cells made?
You know that body cells divide by the process of mitosis. Mitosis produces two new cells, each containing EXACT copies of the chromosomes in the parent cell. Each new cell has a full set of chromosomes. But to produce sex cells, a different kind of cell division is needed.
A human egg an a human sperm cell each have 23 chromosomes. When an egg is joined with or fertilized by a sperm cell, a new diploid cell is formed. This new cell has 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs of chromosomes. One set is from the mother, and the other set is from the father. The newly formed diploid cell may develop into an offspring.
(my-OH-sis) is the type of cell division that produces haploid sex cells such as eggs and sperm cells.
The development of a human embryo. Division of the fertilized egg, or ovum, begins within hours of conception. Within a week a ball of cells – a blastocyst – has developed. After the third week, the embryo has changed from a mass of
cells into a recognizable shape. At four weeks, the embryo is 3 mm/0.1 in long, with a large bulge for the heart and small pits for the ears. At six weeks, the embryo is 1.5 cm/0.6 in, with a pulsating heart and ear flaps. At the eighth
week, the embryo is 2.5 cm/1 in long and recognizably human, with eyelids, small fingers, and toes. From the end of the second month, the embryo is almost fully formed and further development is mainly by growth. After this stage, the embryo is termed a fetus.

Strabane ………………………….24
STRABANE Rugby Club firsts made it three wins out of three to continue their strong start to the Kukri Ulster Championship Three season with a hard-fought bonus point win over Civil Service in Belfast on Saturday.
Strabane went into the game as slight favourites but that tag was quickly dispersed as a determined Civil Service side scored the opening try of the match. A storming run from the home No 8, off the back of a lineout, led to the first touchdown after many missed tackles put the visitors on the backfoot early on.Strabane needed to compose themselves and it was their pack that provided the platform from which to build as the forward eight began to dominate.
The visitors won their own scrums and put a lot of pressure on Civil Service at the set-piece. This allowed Strabane's backline to get into the game with their pace and quick hands. Tries from Ruairi Lynch and Ali Ferguson left the score line at 12-7 to the Tyrone outfit with all to play for going into the second half.Strabane's tackling in defence made it extremely difficult for Civil Service to get any fluidity into their passing game and the visitors forced several turnovers.
A try from Gordan Baird took the pressure off Strabane a little and the bonus point was secured when captain Ali Ferguson went over after another strong scrum from his pack.The Strabane Devels squad also fielded at home on Saturday against City of Derry III and secured a 10-6 win over their local rivals with Steven Torrens crossing the whitewash for two tries.
Another strong performance from flanker Gavin Reid ensured the Devels secured their first victory of the season.Strabane firsts entertain Monaghan this coming Saturday.
With both sides still undefeated it will surely be an extremely tough game and a real test for the home side's ambitions for this season. Kick-off is 2.30pm at the Liskey Road Campus.
Training continues on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 8pm in Clady.Strabane mini and youth rugby continues this Saturday at 10am at Strabane Cricket Club. All new players welcome.

Balwyn JFC President's Report 2017
October 2017
To each and every Junior Balwyn Tiger and their families,
The 2017 football season has come and gone already. As a club, we have had a solid season where we have had some on field success and are in a solid financial position; but the committee has also identified areas that need to be addressed to ensure the long term future of the club.
Round 1 saw us enter 6 teams from U8 to U14 with 154 players registered to play at Balwyn JFC. This was compared to 168 players and 7 teams in 2016. We unfortunately lost our U13 team and this will again effect our numbers for 2018 with no U14 team.
In addition, our Auskick program was cancelled due to a lack of numbers and the committee is working diligently to ensure that we have a program running in 2018. We have run 2 school holiday programs during 2017 and are revamping our Auskick program with the intention of having a strong program in 2018. Having a strong and viable Auskick is paramount to the ongoing success of the club as it is our primary source of players.
As the football season progressed, we had 154 kids play footy over 14 normal rounds and come off the ground happy to have played – win, lose or draw. And kids enjoying themselves is what we want to see as a footy club. Of the 4 teams, we had eligible to play finals we had 2 sides make the finals with the U12B (Gold division) eventual Runners-up and U14 (Brown division) losing in week 1 of the finals. We had a league B&F and SS representative in Isaac Barry, and a number of others who made the top 10 in the league B&F. Others represented Balwyn in the YJFL interleague training squads.
Financially we had a breakeven year which is highlighted in the treasurer's report. This was an excellent result as during the course of 2017, the committee committed money to the future of the club in the form of a new website, junior Auskick clinics, Boroondara Hawks seed funding, and the initial set up of a girl's football program. Our sponsorship is strong and the team will be looking to consolidate this revenue stream over the summer months.
We pride ourselves on being a family club and socially this shines through. Our family nights are well attended and our gala "Bogan Bingo" night added positively to the culture of our club. Ok, maybe it also opened the "closet" on a few people's true character!! ☺
As we move from 2017 and the new committee starts preparations for the 2018 season there are 2 major projects that the club will be working through going forward:
- The first is the development of a girl's football program at Balwyn. We have appointed Joey Dakranian to assist the committee set this program up and get a minimum of 1 girls team onto the field next year. Joey has made a good start in the role and we hope to get into a lot of the local schools in Term 4 to commence recruitment.
- New Pavilion. The current council plan is for the social rooms will be demolished during 2018 and replaced with a new community facility as part of the Balwyn Park redevelopment project. In conjunction with the senior football club, the Balwyn JFC will have access to this facility for our social functions. We are still awaiting final details but this is the culmination of about 8 years work and something that the club and community will enjoy for years to come.
Finally, I'd like to thank all of the 2017 committee for their tireless efforts and support. To those retiring we wish you well and hope to still see you involved in the club in some way in 2018. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2018 – registrations will open for 2018 in November.
Go Tigers
Andrew Wells
President Balwyn JFC

Community Care Services
We understand the aged care journey is not chosen; it is a natural progression that can be both healthy and positive, or impacted by illness, chronic health conditions or accidents.
When you are forced to consider in-home care options, whether this be as a result of a crisis, or a situation that has slowly developed, it is seldom planned. When this journey begins, it can be a stressful and emotional time for everyone involved. We know that deciding on the type of care and living arrangements for someone you love and care about is incredibly difficult.
You may be feeling confused, overwhelmed, tired and distressed. The pressure on making a decision as to where your loved one is better off – in an accommodation setting (hostel or nursing home) or to remain living in the comfort of their own home, can be an extremely difficult one for all those involved. The world of aged care may be new to you, and you may be still trying to understand the system while hurriedly being forced into making important and critical decisions about care arrangements, finances and health issues for someone very close to you. Rest assured that these emotions are all very normal and shared by many. At CareChoice we understand this can be a very difficult time and can assist you through the process to make the decision that is right for you and your loved one.
[CRF_Form id='1′]If you are contemplating home based care as a preferred option for someone you care about, we encourage you to contact us at CareChoice. We can discuss the various home care model options with you to ensure you can feel confident in making one of the most important decisions you will have to make for your parent or loved one.

Going back at least 50 years, all Laguna Beach city projects have had one common denominator: pain.
You can also add suffering, gnashing of teeth, frustration and anger if you want.
Contrary to the image of a tranquil seaside village, behind the scenes in Laguna Beach there is an ongoing city planning nightmare.
Just to be clear, it's the residents playing the biggest roles.
The latest example is the proposed Village Entrance parking structure, which went down in spectacular failure last week.
Regardless of the pros and cons of the "final" Village Entrance Project outcome, step back for a moment and consider that the project has taken:

Justin Trudeau hugged Rona Ambrose. Thomas Mulcair praised Danielle Smith. Day three of the great Fort McMurray fire truly did pull Canadians together in unexpected ways.
Braid: Early flood solidarity, and a shadow of the massive task ahead
Justin Trudeau hugged Rona Ambrose. Thomas Mulcair praised Danielle Smith. Day 3 of the great Fort McMurray fire truly did pull Canadians together in unexpected ways.
Ambrose, the interim Conservative leader, was near to tears as she finished speaking about the disaster in her province. The prime minister darted across the aisle to give her a quick handshake and hug.
NDP Leader Mulcair named Danielle Smith, the ex-Wildrose leader, as an example of selfless devotion to community for rushing to help others when her own High River home was flooded in 2013.
Of all the stories about people pitching in, the loveliest of all is about the Syrian refugees in Calgary who now rush to give, only months after their own desperate flight.
Why? Because Canada helped them when they were down and desperate.
In the legislature Thursday, the scene was remarkable. The opposition parties advised the government of all their questions in advance, an unusual gesture of solidarity.
"It is a sombre day, not for politics or bluster," said Wildrose member Drew Barnes.
The questions were very specific, designed to elicit information rather than score political points. They were, in fact, what the daily question period is supposed to be about, but rarely is.
What emerged was an ominous early picture of a stupendous, complex task faced by a government already strapped for money, and plagued by a weak economy.
It sure wasn't the birthday party New Democrats hoped for on the first anniversary of their election last May 5.
Not that Premier Rachel Notley and her ministers were thinking about celebrations. They're already up to their necks in an enormous pile of work.
With up to 80,000 people suddenly homeless, all the moms, dads, kids and even pets have to be housed, fed, and ultimately paid relief.
Much of this is handled by volunteers, but the co-ordination of many services falls to the government.
That was the whole point of declaring a provincial state of emergency. Already, the government is thinking about issuing pre-loaded debit cards, as the Progressive Conservatives did after the 2013 flood.
When the fire finally dies out — a prospect experts don't expect for days — many of those evacuees will want to go back, if only for a last look and an emotional farewell to lost homes.
In some areas, like the incinerated and obviously dangerous Beacon Hill, the government may not be able to allow that. But as High River showed in 2013, excluding people from their own property can cause resentment.
Education Minister David Eggen took a question about what happens to thousands of evacuated, homeless students who are now without schools as exams approach.
Eggen said schools will be found for all of them so they can finish the year. This will obviously be a big challenge for boards, especially in the Edmonton area. There are even technicalities about students writing exams outside their home board.
Opposition members also asked about children in foster care, dependent seniors, hospital and mental health patients, and persons with developmental disabilities.
The answer was the same in every case: The province will make sure they're all cared for in a setting appropriate to each person's needs.
This is a worthy goal, but a bureaucratic task of enormous complexity.
Then there's money. Fort McMurray homeowners already faced losses because of plunging values. Now, for many, the home itself is gone. There will be tangles over insurance for years to come.
The NDP hasn't quite echoed ex-premier Alison Redford's post-flood promise to do "everything it takes for people to rebuild their homes and rebuild their lives and rebuild their communities."
But Municipal Affairs Minister Danielle Larivee came close Thursday when she said to the victims in general: "You will be rebuilt."
This necessary task will be long, hard and expensive. The NDP can only hope the early goodwill holds strong. But history shows it seldom does.

Have you ever felt like your workouts are just not "working" any more? Like you are putting in the effort physically, but mentally you are bored, uninterested and even a little unmotivated? Yes? Well, that's where I am at in my workouts right now. I have been doing my workouts at home with my dumbbells and fit ball, but they are the same ole thing over and over again. Because my workouts are not changing, I am not changing. Our exercise routine is just like any thing else in our lives; if we get bored with it, we will stop being interested in it. This is a reality, not only in the "exercise" world, but think about how this applies to the "relationship" world. Don't we like a little "spice" in our relationships?! The good news here is, we have the opportunity to make change happen.
There are so many different reasons as to why we exercise. Some want big muscles; some may want to just be healthy; others may want to be more athletic. Whatever your reason is, in order to make it work for you, it should always be FUN! Way to many people look at exercise as a burden, or a box they have to check off for that day. Exercise should not just be something you feel you have to do. It should be something you love to do! Now, I am not naive to the fact that there will be days where exercising is the last thing you want to do. Trust me, I have been there before and will probably be there again. As I am sure you will be to. My reason for this topic today, is to get us thinking about how to keep days like that, few and far between. What can we do, to keep our workouts fun and motivating??
Even if we are self-proclaimed "gym-rats", there are several ways to get motivated and keep your mental energy flowing. How about getting outside and using nature as a way to exercise. Or, maybe even trying group fitness classes. How about doing outside group classes..??!! What a concept! Being outside adds such a new and fresh perspective to things. Don't you think?! Mountain biking, trail running, obstacle courses, playing different sports like sand volleyball. Man, there are so many options out there, and honestly, I bet you would not even have to try very hard to find them. Now, obviously, we all have our own way of being motivated, so these may or may not work for you, but the whole idea here is to get creative in order to not allow ourselves to get bored. If keeping the workouts in the gym is what keeps us focused and inspired, then there are several ways to keep the workouts fresh and alive for us. How about trying some of these simple ideas:
Changing your rest day; Changing the time of day you workout; moving muscle groups to different days; Combine different muscle groups that you normally would not combine together; Using different angels for more resistance; try unbalanced moves to focus more on the core muscles; change the number of reps on each movement; reverse the order in which you do the exercises. These are literally just a few of the ways to keep your workouts fresh, and keep muscles form getting bored.
Being physically fit depends a lot on how fit we are emotionally. If we are bored and unmotivated to exercise, then our bodies will feel that negative energy and our workouts will suffer. We can keep the positive energy flowing by changing our routine and experimenting with new things! Being fit should be fun. Don't give up on your dreams. Be strong; be positive; and have FUN!!
