Members of the Montreal gaming cluster are hard at work not only on their own projects, but more importantly and continuing to foster growth in the cluster.
BruceOnGame, stationed out of Montreal has this to say:
"companies within a cluster should co-operate, even if, as is often the case, there is previous bad blood arising from business dynamics. The businesses have many areas in common that can be addressed more effectively jointly. There should be CEO level meetings of every company within a cluster every month."
Bruce may not be a game developer himself but even game developers are inviting others to join the mission in growing the Montreal cluster.
"Actively involved in developing genuine creative and technological know-how, Ubisoft has become a prime enabler for Canada to establish its presence in a booming market. Part of this rests in the fact that much of the studio's success can immediately be attributed to its unparalled access to some 7,000 IT and multimedia graduates from leading Québec universities." – Investing Canada – Ubisoft
"Move to Montreal? Hmm….Be part of one of the world's fastest-expanding game community! Some 5000 people make up the video game industry in Montreal, with: Over 50 development companies (3650+ jobs), 14 software companies (600 jobs), 18 game-related service companies (800 jobs). Thanks to fairly low operating costs and generous provincial support, Montreal is a leader of the game industry in Canada." – Eidos Montreal (Gaming Studio)
Industry Canada has placed Montreal in the upper echelon of video game cluster locations.
"Montréal is rapidly becoming one of the most attractive cities in the world for the establishment and expansion of companies in the game development industry, which has grown over 400 percent in the past five years. The industryemploys over 5,000 people in traiblazing companies such as Ubisoft, Eidos Interactive, Electronic Arts and Activision. Successful creative studios such as Artificial Mind & Movement and Sarbakan have also made this province their home."
The cluster has a vibrant online community through sites like Montreal Tech Watch & Games Montreal, along side major conferences like the annual Montreal International Game Summit & International Game Developers Association.

New Commission (2011)
Triumph Series 1049 (publ. 1997)
Duration: approx. 3:00
In 1996 the UK Salvation Army re-organised its divisions (geographic areas) and that meant the end of an era for some divisional music camps (aka music schools) across the nation. It also meant however the beginning of a brand new set of SA music camps.
This march was written for the very first London South-East Divisional School of Music held during August 1996 at Bedgebury School, Kent. As such this march began life as Bedgebury '96. The school brought together staff and students from the old Canterbury and South London Divisions into a new family. A new mandate was given, a New Commission.
I remember the studies for the week were based on finding different routes to God and the choruses in the march where chosen to represent the same.
The first chorus Clap your hands can be found in Happiness and Harmony, a UK Salvation Army song book supplement. This chorus expresses different ways of praising God.
Recording by
Boscombe Band
from the album
Favourite Marches of
The Salvation Army (2004)
New Commission.mp3
Clap your hands, clap your hands
for the King of Kings (x2)
Voices raise, sing in praise of the Lord most high,
Hallelu, hallelu, praise the Lord.
Maureen Mitchell
Happiness & Harmony no. 9
The second chorus Follow, follow, signifies the Christian's life-calling to follow Jesus.
Follow, follow, I will follow Jesus,
Anywhere, everywhere, I will follow on;
Follow, follow, I will follow Jesus,
Everywhere he leads me I will follow on.
William Orcutt Cushing (1823-1902)

Most of the mobile device users usually use the flash drives on their devices to save their large amount of data. If in any case the user face the data loss problem then you possibly feel panic. Sometime you blame yourself or the other people for deleting the particular files over the flash drive. But its not all time depends on the users mistake to lose the saved data from the flash drive. Sometimes it happens due to the technical mistakes. So instead of blaming others, you should try to get the files back before its too late to restore the files. Some kind of options are available over the internet that helps a lot to restore the lost files from your flash drive. You wont even have to spent much to do this data restoration on the corrupted or damaged flash drives.
It is obvious that the USB flash drives are usually files of huge amount. But as there is no guarantee that your saved files are completely safe on flash drive, so it is recommended to maintain the proper back up of the saved files on the other storage device. So whenever you forget to keep the backup, its obvious that the data will get deleted. Whether it is your flash drive or the other storage device, its really very simple to regain the data and urgently you need to do so. In respect to restore the saved files over the flash drives you must follow the below mentioned link positively as the software mentioned on the link is mostly recommended by most of its user. http://www.data-filerecovery.net/flash-drive.html. You must remember few things before you do the data recovery on your flash drives. It's like you must stop using the flash drive just after losing the files from it. If you continue using the device for storing further data then in most of the cases the previously saved data will get removed. As the previously saved files will get overwrite with newly saved files.
Why the situation arrives when users become so helpless and unknowingly they face the pathetic situation of the essential data loss over their flash drive?
- Few of the flash drive users won't follow the proper way of using the flash drives. While they eject the drive from the device, they do the same in improper way. Sometimes it comes out with the corrupted device. So its needed to use the proper procedure for ejecting the respective device from the system. It will keep the device in well condition.
- If any system is already infected by viruses and you have connected the same device with your computer then the files will get corrupted on the flash drive or the even the flash drive file system even get damaged.
- Power failure is the other reason of the data loss. While transferring data from one device to the flash drive or simply opposite then if the process gets hampered then the files will get corrupted on the same drive.
All the mentioned scenarios are very much effective till the time you won't come across the data file recovery software. As the extremely expert developers have designed the mentioned software in accordance to the requirements of the user who have already faced the data loss scenarios, so it is for sure that the software will be so much effective so that the files will not get harmed. For the first time of using this software you can start up with the free trial edition of the software. It will allow the user to preview its data recovery results before the final purchase of the utility. You can even save the data recovery session for the future purpose. So that at the next time of the data recovery you don't need to perform the complete process again. Simply open the saved restore session and get back the particular lost data which one you want.

Diving activities call for the use of muscle power, strength and endurance. Various training methods using weightlifting have been devised to develop the different muscle attributes necessary to maintain scuba diving fitness.
A little more than 2,500 years ago, the Greek athlete Milo realized he could increase strength by using workloads above those normally encountered. He began lifting a young calf every day. The calf's maturing weight provided progressive resistance until, it was said, he carried the grown bull around the Olympic arena. He became a military hero and, as an Olympic wrestler, was undefeated.
Whether Milo lifted an increasingly heavy calf in legend or in fact, it is well established that the different capabilities of muscle can all increase through progressive resistance, also known as overload. Carrying increasingly heavy loads, for example, increases strength. On the other hand, progressively increasing the number of times you lift a light weight improves muscular endurance.
You draw on strength, endurance and another important muscle capability – called power – for varying activities in diving. With increasing strength you can more easily sling tanks and gear bags around and reduce your chance of musculoskeletal injury from doing it. Improved muscular endurance reduces your chance of leg cramps and eases long swims. Strength, endurance and power all contribute to get you out of a current or through surf and back to the boat or shore.
Strength, endurance and power depend on different structural and chemical attributes. Because they are different, each responds to different training methods. Most lifting can help you get healthier and look better. But, not all exercise strengthens. Not all lifting makes you big. Bulking up requires methods not needed by those training to fin long distances underwater.
How to get strong: Muscles get stronger by increasing three things – their size, the rate that nerves serving them can fire and the number of nerve-muscle units (called motor units) that can fire together. All three are trainable in varying degrees.
The first change that occurs to increase strength is a motor learning effect. Motor learning increases knowledge of how to do the lifting task, which improves lifting ability with no strength increase. After becoming accustomed to the task and for the first three to four weeks of strength training, neural factors predominate to increase strength. After that, strength increases in young males primarily by increasing the cross sectional area (the size) of the muscle. Older men increase strength less through size than neural mechanisms. Women also increase strength through more neural than size adaptation even with strength changes comparable to those of a young man. Of course, women and older men can increase muscle size through training but size is not the only predictor of strength. Strong things may come in small packages.
Because maximum strength contributes to winning specific Olympic events and, even more crucial, football games, studies have subjected strength training methods to microscopic scrutiny. They found that to get stronger you need to contract muscles at close to their maximum. That takes heavy weight and is why most exercise class floor work does not strengthen. Your leg is just not heavy enough. The majority of studies agree the maximum number of times to consecutively lift a heavy weight for strength gain is between four and eight repetitions or "reps." These same studies find less gain with more or fewer reps. Why? If you can do more reps with the same amount of weight you are not using a weight heavy enough for maximum gain. Fewer reps also don't sufficiently overload a muscle enough to gain strength.
One group of repetitions is called a set. To maximize strength, do three sets of four to eight reps. Between each of the heavy sets you need rest. Rest allows you to recover enough to maximize muscular tension for the next set of four to eight reps. One to four minutes rest between each set is usually enough. Allow a minimum of a full day between weight training sessions for muscle repair and strength building processes to proceed without interference. When you have progressed to where you can easily lift the weight four to eight reps for three sets, increase the weight. Resist going overboard. There are all sorts of regimes that vary the intensity and number of days per week to avoid over-training while still training hard – but that is for another article.
Some people are afraid to weightlift for fear of hurting themselves. Done properly, you are more likely to improve your health and reduce the chance of later injury from other activities. Get instruction and start easy, even too easy in the initial weeks of a new strength program. Get the feel of it first. Then, and this is important, get to like it. Progressively work up to heavy weights. Using the heaviest weight you can lift six times maximizes strength, however, a more moderate weight increases strength with less risk of injury.
It's a myth that strength, by itself, reduces coordination or flexibility. No diver can be too strong. You can be strong with poor skills but not too strong.
Strength in a nutshell: Do three sets of six using a heavy weight. Take long rests between sets.
How to get endurance: Muscular endurance is the ability of any particular muscle or muscle group to continuously carry on repetitions of an activity at low intensity. Examples are found any time you resist against light weights many times, like leg lifts or peddling a bicycle. Muscular endurance is different from cardiovascular endurance. An untrained muscle may get tired before you are out of breath. Trained muscles have specific enzymatic and cellular adaptations to increase endurance capacity. These adaptations don't change muscle size. Running, peddling a bike and kicking with fins use lower body muscles differently, which adapt differently. Kicking with fins, therefore, better prepares you for diving than jogging or biking. Training is simple. When you have progressed to where you can easily continue for a set number of kicks, reps or minutes, increase them. Alternate easy and hard workouts, rest adequately and don't overdo.
Endurance in a nutshell: Do continuous repetitions using a light weight with no rest between reps.
How to get power: Power is the product of strength and speed. Lifting a scuba tank takes strength. Throwing a tank takes power (and no brains – this is an illustrative example, don't try this yourself or you may get an inkling of why power is also called "explosive strength").
Different percentages of strength and speed contribute to different power events. To throw the discus and put the shot you take a moderately heavy weight and hurl it fast and far away. Offensive linemen try to do the same to very heavy defensive tackles. Diving involves varied activities that require varying proportions of strength and speed. You may have to drag an incapacitated buddy quickly through the water then lift him/her onto the dive deck or up the shoreline, fin against a tough current or throw a light rescue line fast and far.
To develop power, lift a weight you customarily lift but lift it more quickly. There are special weight machines specifically made for power training. Be more than a little careful when training for power with weights. The potential for serious injury throwing weights around is high. Never lean over and lift quickly unless you really want to ruin your back. Developing power in the pool is safer and simpler. Increase your fin swimming power by finning very hard every few laps. Rest by finning easy laps. Be sure to be well warmed by 20 laps or so before beginning power laps. Also, practice throwing a rescue line and maybe even dragging your buddy around.
Power in a nutshell: Lift a heavy weight fast. Take long rests between sets. Be careful.
How to get size: Size, bulk, mass, hypertrophy, beefcake, big. By any name, the musculature adorning body builders is a topic of intrigue. An unfortunate number of women and even men shun weightlifting and its associated health benefits on the assumption they will grow hopelessly huge. My response to them is simple. Big muscles don't happen by accident. It takes more work than many are willing to do. You can weightlift to get strong, enduring, powerful and healthy. You will get firm and look good but you won't bulk up big without some very specific and intense work.
One look at power lifters and you know they're strong. Yet they look different than body builders. Power lifters train for strength, body builders maximize size. What do they do differently? Two things, mainly. One is called volume. The other is definition.
Volume is the product of how much weight you lift and how many times you lift it. To maximize volume do more reps and more sets. Lift more slowly than you would for strength or power. You still need heavy weight but to be able to do more reps, not quite as heavy as for strength. Use a weight you can lift 12 times before muscle failure stops you. Do more sets and take only short rests between those sets. When you can easily lift 4 sets of 12, increase the weight and, later on, add another set. Definition comes from losing fat under the skin that covers your nooks and crannies.
Someone with huge rolling muscles may not be able to lift as much weight in a single effort as a smaller person who trained specifically for strength. Again, you can't make assumptions about the strength of women or older men, or anyone for that matter, based purely on muscle circumference.
Size in a nutshell: Do 4 slow sets of 12. Take short rests between sets. Exercise and eat a low fat diet so muscles can't hide beneath the fat stored under your skin.
How to get firm: Firm is easier than strength and size and easier than maximizing endurance. Lifting weights will firm you. You don't even have to push it but, of course, more work makes more firmness.
Firm in a nutshell: Regularly lift a comfortable weight a comfortable number of times, for example ten, building up from one to three sets.
Why not? Scuba diving needs some of each fitness aspect rather than exceptionally high capacity in any one. Improve scuba fitness with safe and sane weightlifting to develop strength, endurance and power.
To keep weightlifting from being accidentally unhealthy, start slowly and easily. Check with your physician if you have existing or suspected health problems.
Strength: Three sets of six. Heavy weight. Long rests between sets.
Endurance: Continuous repetitions with light weight, no rest.
Power: Very fast execution of each lift. Long rests. Great care is needed to avoid injury.
Size: Four sets of 12. Heavy to moderate weight. Lift slowly. Short rests between sets.
Firmness: Regular comfortable weightlifting. One to three sets of ten reps with a comfortable weight.

Hello everyone!
Today will feature mainly cloudy skies and the chance for snow as a weak storm passes offshore and drags behind it an inverted trough. All the storms in play here (clipper, redeveloped coastal, upper level) are quite weak and disorganized so the snow will be as well, arriving in the form of light snow showers/flurries. Accumulations will generally remain under 2″ with the exception of the mountains and possibly the midcoast where up to 3″ could fall. Highs will range from the low to mid 20's north to the low 30's south.

How do you feel about avocados? It seems like either you love them or you hate them. I happen to really love them, but they are so expensive. I have no solution for them being expensive, but I came up with a really yummy recipe for them, so get ready for goodness.
Something about avocados in Idaho that is kind of a bummer is that they are so small, about the size of a pear. When I was a kid I lived in Hawaii and we had an avocado tree in our yard. Those avocados were literally the size of a cantaloupe. No exaggeration at all. Chime in if you know what I'm talking about. The irony is that when they were free, I didn't like them and had no idea what to do with them. Now I want to always have them and they are kind of pricey.
I bought some the other day and wouldn't you know, they all got ripe at the same time. Figures, right? I decided to do something with one for lunch the other day and I was so happy with the way it turned out that I will be making it again and again. I used sausage in my recipe and might I suggest making your own sausage so you know exactly what is in your sausage. If you don't have a good recipe, you can use mine, which you can get on this post.
If you scoop the avocado meat out of the shell carefully, you can stuff the avocado and they make a nice little appetizer or salad for entertaining. Great for the upcoming Super Bowl!
Stuffed Avocado
Makes 1 whole stuffed avocado
1 avocado
1/4 cup chopped bell pepper, red, yellow and orange
1/4 cup cooked and crumbled sausage
1 Roma tomato, chopped
2 Tbsp shredded cheddar cheese
black pepper to taste
Cut an avocado in half, lengthwise and carefully scoop the meat out. Save the skins.
Chop the avocado into small chunks and place in a bowl.
Add the chopped bell peppers, cooked sausage, chopped tomato and shredded cheese and mix well.
Scoop all of the mix into the two avocado shells.
Lightly sprinkle with black pepper.
What do you think? Are you going to try this? Are you an avocado lover or hater? Let me know below and if you are a lover, what is your favorite way to have them?

SSRS Page 1 of 2?
Posted by jeffprom on June 13, 2011
Starting in reporting services 2008 there is a new feature called On Demand processing.
With this feature reports may be rendered only one page at a time to speed up processing. One drawback to this can be seen on large reports. On your action bar, you may see page 1 of 2?
Here is an example:
One trick to avoid this is to add a textbox in your report header or footer. On the properties of the textbox, set Hidden=True. For the expressoin of the textbox, set it to =Globals!TotalPages.
Now when the report runs, it figures out the total number of pages to put into this textbox. And as a result, it also puts the correct number in your action bar!

We get a lot of customers asking us how to best use SMS to remind their clients of their up coming appointments.
This article will hopefully give you a quick overview of how easy it is to use SMS for appointment reminders, and better still we'll show you how to get up and running quickly and with a minimum of fuss.
Why SMS Appointment Reminders?
The short answer is because it works. And works well. Compare the effectiveness and timeliness of SMS to email and other methods. SMS is also way more cost effective than making phone calls when you factor in the cost of the person(s) making the calls.
Want more proof?
Have a look at the following case study where Briz Brain & Spine used SMS appointment reminders to save 22 man hours per week that was spent on calling clients to confirm their up coming appointments.
What else can you do with 22 man hours per week?
When looking at adding SMS appointment reminders to your business process, you need to keep the following in mind.
How do you manage your appointment?
Do you use a software package? Do you use a calendar like Outlook Calendar or Google Calendar?
Does your software package have a reminder function?
Can you get an export of your appointment data easily?
What do you currently do?
What does your current business process look like? Do you call to remind clients of their appointments? Do you write little cards with their next appointment on them? How will your customer base respond to being reminded via SMS?
What is your current "no-show" rate?
Each business is different. Typical no-show rates are around the 5-6% range. Some businesses can run as high as 10%+… Imagine if every 10th appointment did not show up or cancelled on you at the very last minute. This is what we are trying to reduce here.
Step By Step Guide To Appointment Reminders
If you use a software package to manage your appointments and it already has a reminder function integrated in, using this function will present the easiest way of reducing your no-show rate.
It should be very easy for the vendor of your software package to guide you in how to configure and use their software's integrated reminder functionality to send out your SMS appointment reminders.
If you are not using a software package or the package you do use does not have a reminder function, you can easily use our Web 2 SMS solution to send out your personalised reminders in bulk.
1. Prepare Your Appointment Data
We start by exporting or preparing your appointment data. The aim here is to generate a CSV file or Microsoft Excel spreadsheet similar to the one in the screen grab below containing the appointment data for the following business day.
The spreadsheet needs at a minimum the client's mobile phone number as well as their appointment time. If you want to, you can add additional columns for things such as their first name as well as any other information which maybe pertinent to each appointment.
2. Prepare Your Reminder Message
Once we have the data we are going to use, we need to prepare a template message to mail merge the data into.
Our reminder message needs to take the following into consideration:
When are you going to send the reminder?
Best practices dictate we send reminders the day before the appointment. Typically sometime in the morning. This allows clients to ensure the appointment is on their radar (on their personal calendar). It also gives them enough time to call you should they need to cancel or re-schedule. Which is the whole point of this exercise.
Having said this, every business is different and you know your business best.
Do you want your clients to reply?
This depends largely on the process you want to follow.
Our advice to customers is to send out the reminders assuming the client is going to attend. And to provide instructions for them to follow should they need to cancel or re-schedule. This way, you are only having to action the exceptions rather than every appointment.
Please see the screenshot below showing a typical reminder message.
If you follow the above method, you can then send out your reminders as 1-way SMS messages with your business name as the sender. This stops clients from replying back, and forces them to call you to work out an alternative time.
This gives you the chance to speak with them to re-book the appointment, instead of having a cancellation and losing out on the revenue if you simply ask them to reply Yes or No to confirm their attendance.
3. Use Web 2 SMS To Send Your Reminders
Step 1. Create or export your appointment data for the following day.
Step 2. Log into directSMS customer portal
Step 3. Click "Messaging Tools" and then "Send Mail Merge"
Step 4. Upload your CSV or Excel file. Our sample file contains 3 columns: Mobile, First Name and Appointment Time.
Step 5. Enter your message and the Sender ID. Something like the screen grab below…
"Dear [FIELD],
Your next appointment at the XYZ Sports Clinic is tomorrow at [FIELD].
If you are unable to attend , please call us on 9800 9120."
Keep your eye on the character counter. This will tell you how many SMS segments each message will contain. If you go over 160 characters, the system will split each reminder over 2 or more SMS messages.
Note how the Sender ID is set to "XYZSports". This blocks clients from replying back to the message and forces them to call your reception to cancel pr re-schedule the appointment if they can not make it.
Step 6. Send Now or Send Later. Once you've previewed the messages that will be sent out by the system, you can can click "Send Now" to send the messages straight away. Or if you want to schedule the reminders to go out at a later date. Click "Send Later".
Handy tip… On Friday, you can schedule the reminders for Monday's appointments to go out on Sunday morning or afternoon using the "Send Later" functionality.
Step 7. Test the results. Measure your no-show rate before implementing this new process and then after implementing it. The savings made by ensuring your clients show up and on time, should pay for the SMS reminders and then some.

Hamilton to Release New Block of Tickets Through Ticketmaster Verified Fan
HAMILTON producer Jeffrey Seller announces that a new block of tickets for the Broadway production will be made available on Monday, August 21 at 10:00 AM ET exclusively through Ticketmaster Verified Fan®. Verified Fan is an innovative new technology from Ticketmaster that combats bots and scalpers, helping shows like Hamilton level the playing field so fans get better access to real tickets.
Ticketmaster Verified Fan registration begins today and will close Friday, August 18 at 6:00 PM ET. Verified fans will be notified by Ticketmaster via email on August 20 if they have been selected for the Verified Fan pre-sale on August 21. Visit https://hamilton.tmverifiedfan.com to pre-register or for more information please visit www.hamiltonbroadway.com/#newyork.
Producer Seller states, "I am confident that Verified Fan will be a valuable service to our fans. We know how challenging it is to buy tickets and this new Ticketmaster program will make the process a whole lot easier."
The new block of tickets for Hamilton on Broadway are for performances beginning March 6 through August 19, 2018.
General on-sale will begin on August 22 at 10:00 AM ET.
There are many ticket resellers and secondary markets for tickets. For the best seats and to eliminate the risk of fraud, get tickets in advance through the Richard Rodgers Theatre (226 West 46th Street), or Ticketmaster. Purchasing tickets from any other seller runs a high risk of receiving fraudulent tickets.
With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, music direction/orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow's biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. The musical won eleven 2016 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Score, Book of a Musical, Direction of a Musical, Choreography and Orchestrations. Mr. Miranda received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Hamilton.
HAMILTON is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War, and was the new nation's first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now.
The Hamilton Original Broadway Cast Recording is available everywhere nationwide. The Hamilton recording received a 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.
The musical is produced by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman, and The Public Theater.
HAMILTON performs on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre (226 West 46th Street), in Chicago at the PrivateBank Theatre (18 W. Monroe Street), and at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre (6233 Hollywood Boulevard) in Los Angeles, with an official opening night on August 16. A London production will be mounted this November. A second national tour begins February 2018 in Seattle.

SHED.. (I) A small hut, shelter or outhouse, especially one with a " shed roof " or " lean-to," a roof with only one set of rafters, falling from a higher to a lower wall, like an aisle roof. " Shed " is also the term applied to a large roofed shelter open at the sides for the storage of goods, rolling-stock, locomotives, &c., on a railway or dock-wharf. According to Skeat, the word is a Kentish form of " shade," " shadow," in 0. Eng. steed, sceadu, cf. Ger. Schatten; the ultimate origin is the root ska-, to cover, seen in Gr. 1K16, shadow, UK1iv'i, tent, shelter, stage, whence Eng. " scene "; the Eng. " sky " comes from a closely allied root sku, also to cover, cf. Lat. obscurus. (2) To spill, to scatter, to cast off; originally the word seems to have meant to part, to divide, a use only surviving in " watershed." The 0. Eng. verb was sceddan, in Mid. Eng. shceden, to divide, separate. " Shed in the sense of to spill has, however, by some etymologists been taken to be a separate word from that meaning to part; it would in that case appear to be connected with 0. Fris. schedda, to shake, the root of which is found in " shudder."End of Article: SHED

Malbec may not be the most popular red wine out there, but avid wine lovers know that its dark fruit flavours and lovely smoothness are worth experiencing time and time again. Here on Just Wines blog, we have been trying to cover every wine varietal and blend, one by one, and share with you how to pair them with cheese. Figuring out the right wine and cheese pairing requires a good understanding of the cheese's flavour profile, and is what we are going to discuss today.
"What kind of cheese goes with Malbec?"
As always, we are going to recommend cheese that is readily available in Australia and New Zealand.
Category: Hard to semi-hard cheese
Variety: Gouda
Foremost, the name is pronounced as 'how-da,' with it being a Dutch word. From a town of the same name in the Netherlands, its texture has a springiness to it (unlike hard varieties like Parmesan), which decreases with ageing. As it matures, Gouda becomes more hard and crumbly. Hence it is best described as 'hard/ firm cheese to semi-hard.' One of the most famous cheeses in the world, it is produced with cow's milk.
Ageing doesn't just change Gouda's texture, but flavour too. Young Gouda cheese is hugely mild, while its trademark nuttiness becomes more evident in mature versions. Mild, however, doesn't mean Mozzarella-like lack of taste, it has a subtly sweet undertone and a consistent flow of flavour, no matter how weak it might be. The more old versions are reminiscent of butterscotch! The depth of mature Gouda cheese tastes delicious with the dark fruit flavours of a Malbec wine. If you can obtain Gouda flavoured with cracked black pepper/ peppercorn, even better! The peppery notes in the wine would echo the spice in the cheese!
And with that, we hope that your Malbec cheese pairing queries get answered! Gouda also goes very well with pears, and you might want to also serve some fruit for your next cheese and wine party. Just ensure that you use mature cheese, and your guests would remember the good time they had for months to come!

Quick Reference
For a seaman's rank see rate (2). Otherwise, it is a calculation of a yacht's expected performance relative to another yacht during a race, based on the physical measurements, and other definable characteristics, of the yacht. Two early methods in Britain of physical measuring were the Builders Old Measurement and Thames Measurement, but a common variant nowadays is performance handicap where observed performance, rather than physical measurement, is the determining factor. These rules are best suited to local racing because of the difficulty of assessing comparative performance across wide areas. In North America by far the most popular rule of this type is the well-established Performance Handicap Racing Fleet (PHRF). This has been in use for many years and a version of it is used in other countries around the world. The Portsmouth Yardstick is the British equivalent. With this, the results of handicap racing are sent by clubs to the Royal Yachting Association, which calculates a national figure for each class of boat. The result is a Portsmouth number and the corrected time (CT) is obtained with the formula CT = (Elapsed Time × 1000)/Portsmouth number.
However, the most widely used rating rules are still based on measurement, the principle underlying them being that a yacht's ultimate speed is related to her length. This speed is only reached in stronger winds, and the amount of sail area that a yacht carries, and also her displacement, will affect her performance. Most rules therefore specify a measurement of length, which is usually some combination of the waterline length and the bow and stern overhangs, if any.
There are also rules for the measurement of sail areas in the different parts of the rig. The displacement of the yacht will be included in some form, either by weighing or by full measurement of the hull shape and then flotation depth. Corrections are also included for items such as beam, draught, freeboard, engines and propellers, centreboards, and keels, all of which have some effect on a yacht's performance. Some measurement of stability or ballast ratio is also necessary.
The most common methods for combining these individual measurements to produce rating are either formula rules, where a series of linked formulae combine to produce the rating, or velocity prediction programme (VPP) rules. In the latter the performance of the yacht is mathematically predicted under a range of conditions using a computer program, and the rating derived from the outcome. Historically, ratings were expressed in linear units of feet or metres with race organizers then applying time allowances to them. More recently, ratings have been directly expressed as time allowances.
There have been many rating rules since yachting became a popular sport and yacht designers have always been ingenious in evading them. The earliest rating rules were intended to restrict the variations of proportions of yachts within classes that were to race without handicap. Examples of these rules were the rater classes of the late 19th century and the International Metre Classes where the actual rules differed in their values and limits in determining the various metre class yachts which raced from 1907. More properly, these variants on rating rules are known as 'box' rules because they simply impose dimensional restrictions and do not generally incorporate any form of time allowance. Some of these classes are, as classic yachts, still competing today, perhaps the best known being the 12-metre which was used in the America's Cup races from 1958–1987. In the USA the Universal Rule was used the same way to rate the various classes, including the J-class, until the International Rule which governed the metre classes was gradually adopted.

i wanna fix it and get it right but i'm stuck with man in the mirror
I'm Gonna Make A Change
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .
I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
Just trying to help
Hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world
Is on my shoulders
What can you do
When your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down
Keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
So I throw up my fist
Throw a punch in the air and
Accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah I'll send out a wish
Yeah I'll send up a prayer
And finally someone will see
How much I care
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When you lose something you can't replace
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix
you all

I have probably done a great deal of scaring some people with my twin momma stories. But I wanted to take some time to list out the amazing benefits of having two bundles of joy!
- One pregnancy – Let's start with the obvious: nine months, two babies. I didn't mind being pregnant, but I was definitely excited to NOT be pregnant anymore. In nine months, we achieve what most mothers nowadays accomplish in a three year span- having two children.
- Husband involvement – Dads really don't have a choice but to be involved with twins. There was no alternating night feedings throughout those first few months- we were both up every three hours, Boppys on our laps, feeding the babies. I had a c-section and was out of commission for the first 24 hours, and apparently the nurses were putting my husband through baby boot camp. He had to show me how to change their diapers and swaddle them up. The nurses even made him bathe them. And he was not messing with those ladies, they totally outnumbered him. It was amazing. From that point on, I knew we'd be a great team. He has been completely involved in every aspect of taking care of them since their first few minutes. He still gives them baths every night. I still have the final say on dressing them when venturing out in public.
- Routine, routine, routine – Twins forced us to follow a schedule and stay organized. Without that, you would have no time to get things done. And when I say 'things', I don't mean getting manis / pedis; I mean like eating and showering. Same thing for naps and bedtime. You will have a very hard time rocking two babies to sleep every night, so odds are they are going to get used to falling asleep on their own. This is a beautiful thing.
- One is always on our side – This goes from the infant stage to the crazy tantrum toddler phase. I have at least one happy baby (well, most of the time). The only hard part is that whatever one is cranky, tired, or sick is either glued to my side or I get stuck dealing with. This is especially fun at parties and outings. And dads, grandmas, etc… get the easy one. That's just the way it goes with being a mom. We do always pick out a 'baby of the week', but once the boys start comprehending what that means, we might have to end the competition (or just not talk about it).
- Mommy and me… and me too! – With twins, it's difficult to join those mommy and me play groups, gym clubs, etc… But honestly, thats okay. Kids managed for decades without group activities at early ages. We all survived. And most moms do these types of activities with their first kid and skip them for the rest of their kids. Even I will admit (as the lovely oldest child) that usually the younger siblings turn out fine and are equally, if not more, well rounded. So if you need an excuse to go out and interact with other moms- that is one thing. But I don't think skipping the 'mommy and me jazzercise class' is really detrimental to your one year olds' social life. And if your husband is home on the weekends, try to join one then. The class I am most interested in is swim lessons, and I may have found a weekend volunteer for that one.
- Sharing – Twins are all too familiar with sharing. They can get two of the same exact toy, and not play with it much But get them two different toys, and I promise you there will be a war over one of them. On that note, they are familiar with fighting. This may be frustrating, but it is nice to know that no one is going to bully them on the playground. I think they learned to tackle each other at 10 months.
- Monkey see, monkey do – Since the boys started cleaning up their toys, this has really come in handy. If I ask them to clean up, the 'one that is on my side' at the moment will listen and I immediately start praising him. Once the other guys sees this, guess what he's doing? No way is he going to let his brother get all the attention. Similar to "sharing", this has its good sides and bad. When launching a bowl of cereal from a highchair gets attention, good or bad, odds are the other one is going to try it. It's okay though, that's why you have a dog (if you don't, get one immediately before moving onto solid foods).
- Two kids, one wardrobe – This only applies when you have two same-sex kids. But having them in almost the same size makes dressing them easy. Their wardrobe is only slightly bigger than a single child's. The only thing I double up on are pajamas and undershirts. When you leave the house, you really only need to pack one spare outfit in your diaper bag. Speaking of diapers, they are always in the same size which simplifies logistics.
- Feeling accomplished – At the end of every day, when everyone is fed, my house is clean, the laundry is done, clothes are laid out for the next day, lunch is packed, and the boys room is silent … I can sit with a glass of wine and think "holy **** did I deserve this". One baby would be too easy. And once you get the hang of it, your family runs like a well-oiled machine.
- A best friend for life – Your twins will always have each other. They might drive each other nuts, but guess who they are looking for when they aren't around? Not mommy or daddy, but their brother.
Not double trouble, but twice blessed♥

Innovation through Cooperation
Distributed und modular Battery Management Systems for Li-Ion Batteries
In an effort to reduce battery faults due to defective cells or modules, ITK Engineering has partnered with the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) for the development of a modular Battery Management System (BMS).
The BMS is architected so that all individual cells or modules are controlled by BMS-slaves, without the need for a BMS-master. This achieves a reduction in noise, compute power and signal amplification. And, the inherent redundancies lead to more reliable overall system. The modular design improves the reusability and expandability of the system. Possible applications include, for example, the Second-Life use of batteries.
Optimized Biogas Production through Pattern Recognition
The research project "Biogas OptiMus" has increased the productivity of and eased the observation of Biogas Production Processes. Based on this insight, optimal Biogas plants have been developed which enable a production capacity for the required output needs.
ITK is involved with the with methods of pattern recognition as well as the development of anaerobic fermentation processes. We bring our controls-expertise, as well as experience in areas such as medical technology, to the field of "Sustainable Energy". This application has a high degree of complexity due to fact that critical control parameters – such as dry-substance content (TS) and chemical oxygen usage (CSB) – can only be determined in the laboratory, not in real time. Greater understanding through pattern recognition is urgently needed in order to improve the economic viability of biogas generation facilities.
Critical Systems Engineering Acceleration
The organization-wide development of innovative, highly-complex products is needed to preserve the competitiveness of European Industry, now and in the future. CRYSTAL is a research project, under the guidance of both European (ARTEMIS JU) and German (BMBF) oversight, which should increase the practical interoperability of development tools through standardized web-based interfaces. Long-term development costs will be reduced, while maintaining and increasing both the development velocity and collaboration of various partners, despite product complexity.
ITK's involvement with the CRYSTAL project is focused on increasing the interoperability of tools using IOS (InterOperability Specification). The tools involved, among others, are Enterprise Arcitect and Simulink. As a Simulation-Tool Expert, ITK is responsible for a number of technological and methods "bricks", which are conceptualized, implemented and evaluated in Use-Cases. That's how we gain insights into different problems, which arise out of interoperability-scenarios and develop a 360° solution for industry.
Finding Faults early and automatically with Failure-Mode-Based Testing
In order to identify development errors early and automatically, and thereby increase test process efficiency, ITK, together with the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has developed a failure-mode testing-method. In this way, frequent and recurring faults are described as formal failure-modes in MATLAB/Simulink and Stateflow. With the creation of these failure-modes, an operationalization, called 8Cage (Automated Test Case Generator) is designed, which automatically detects run-time errors – even at the model-level. The causes of run-time errors are often not found until static analyses are performed, which leads to frequent and unnecessary repetitions of the static analysis tests. Since these test are expensive – both in terms of computational time and manpower needed to interpret and port model-based code, reductions in repeated operations have a net positive effect on the development process. Effectiveness and efficiency in finding runtimes errors has already been demonstrated by 8Cage in an evaluation of several real Matlab Simulink systems.
Emotion-sensitive Assistance System for People Suffering from Affective Disorders or Dementia
Seven scientific and industrial partners recently joined forces to develop a new customizable and cooperative assistance system for people suffering from affective disorders or dementia. The assistance system is intended to receive a high degree of personalization, recognize habitual human communication patterns, deduce emotional and mental states from these patterns, and ultimately evolve from a technical tool into a competent assistant thanks to innovative interaction concepts.
ITK Engineering is leading the consortium. Apart from our competences in the area of sensor technology and tele medicine we will contribute our security-expertise into the working group in order to secure a safe network of sensor technologies as well as ensuring a safe exchange of patient information. EmAsIn is supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Intro 4.0
The research project Intro 4.0 aims to develop capabilities and implementation strategies for introducing Industry 4.0 methods. These are especially targeted at small and medium enterprises (SMEs), helping them to integrate the new technology cost-effectively into their workplace in order to increase their productivity and gain competitive advantage.
As an enabler of Industry 4.0, ITK Engineering has developed intelligent algorithms and methods for quality assurance and fault management, and for robust logistics planning and control. For SMEs, the ability to use and maintain software and systems in the long-term is a decisive factor. The joint project Intro 4.0 offers us the perfect platform to put our know-how to practical use, and work with the other participating companies to develop new capabilities and implementation strategies.
The project's key elements lead to a structured guideline which supports companies in the progressive integration of Industry 4.0. The joint project promoted by the BMBF, valued at 2.9 million Euro, will run from 1st January 2016 until the end of December 2018, under the supervision of PTKA (Projekttraeger Karlsruhe) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
Sensor-Supported Management of Major-Loss Events (SEMENA)
In the development plan of SEMENA, the ITK Engineering GmbH and the VOMATEC Innovations GmbH have successfully worked together to develop a software-supported system for the organization of rescue operations that involve a high number of injured individuals. The goal for this cooperation was to develop a system with which the rescue operations in major-loss events can be greatly improved and to take care of victims faster, even in chaotic conditions – made possible by the radio network apparatuses and the software that is specially tailored for this use.
With help from the system, the relief units are now capable from that point on of more quickly gaining an overview of the whole situation and better structuring and leading their mission. This allows in any case for faster action pertaining to the provision and care of the afflicted and injured individuals.
SEMENA was supported by the European Union through the European Fund for Regional Development.
Systematic testing of driver assistance systems
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are growing increasingly complex. The automobile industry's goal of achieving autonomously-driving vehicles means that these systems are being granted ever greater control over vehicles. The task of mastering complex and multi-facetted driving situations while ensuring functional safety and security is growing more demanding.
Verification and validation is becoming disproportionally more time-consuming and therefore also more expensive. At the same time, the industry is attempting to cut development costs. Luckily, this contradiction can be reconciled with modern testing methods which apply model-based technologies and a high degree of automation.
As part of the continued research cooperation with the Software Engineering faculty at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), ITK Engineering is developing or actually adapting these types of methods as well as model-based description techniques, and then implementing them in software tools. These methods and tools are then subsequently tested and evaluated at ITK.

Saab has responded to an Indian navy request for proposals for carrier-borne fighter aircraft with an offer based on a marinised variant of its Gripen NG.
The navy is reported to require up to 57 multi-role combat aircraft that would replace its current fleet of Sukhoi Su-30s.
No details on the timeline for any acquisition have been released, with Saab officials indicating that they are unsure of when any decision would be made by New Delhi.
Saab says it is open to technology transfer as part of any Gripen deal. The Swedish manufacturer has previously partnered with Embraer to work on the Gripen E/Fs ordered by Brazil.
The Swedish manufacturer says the Sea Gripen will have all the capabilities of the Gripen E/F as well as a "small logistic footprint".
Meanwhile, Saab says it is confident of acquiring more operators for the GE Aviation F414-powered fighter in the Asia-Pacific, revealing that it is in talks with "prospects" including Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.
However, Saab admits that it will have to wait and see if military budgets "match [their] ambitions".
Within the region, Thailand is the only Gripen operator with 11 examples of the C/D variant.

All I want for Christmas is . . .
. . . a year of injury-free year of running
. . . to finally enter a race on a trail or cross-country course
. . . never again to hear the Jim Fixx "dying while running" excuse used by non-runners. (They never learned that doctors said he would have died 10 years earlier if he had not been a runner)
. . . to continue adding to my list of states in which I have taken a run (added 2 more this year)
. . . for walkers to use the correct lanes on both outdoor and indoor tracks
. . . to try a new race distance in the coming year (a sure PR)
. . . that more media attention will be paid to running and runners
. . . to enter a race not as a runner but as a volunteer behind the scenes
. . . never again to hear a non-runner's disappointment that I never ran the New York Marathon, even though I qualified for and ran in the Boston Marathon
. . . to run more with my best friend
. . . to see my running book published in the coming year (keep an eye out for the fall)
. . . that all of you find happiness and running successes in the coming year!

he towering roof of the theatre echoed with the thundering sound of the orchestra. All of the attendants sat mesmerized, their minds taken completely by the events unfolding on stage. Gods and mortals battled their wits across the eons of time, the Norse legends reaching their realization for the benefit of the paying patrons. The hall was completely full, all of the stalls and floor seating taken up by the artistic glitterati of Venice, eager to hear the latest work from Richard Wagner.
The Doctor sat contently, his chin resting in his hands as the opera continued his eyes bleary as he looked on in amazement. There was no greater pleasure in the entire galaxy than the first rendition of a would-be famous orchestral and operatic masterpiece, Wagner's Ring cycle being one of the premier events. He sat back in his chair and adjusted the collar of his awkward fitting shirt, the dress code of Venice in the late 19th Century not entirely to his tastes.
'Professor, I'm bored when is this finished?' Ace moaned, rubbing at her sides as the tightness of her corset became altogether too much of a nuisance.
'Ssshhh' Came a disgruntled cry form somewhere behind. Ace turned around in her chair and scowled at the blank faces.
'Shh yourselves' She said loudly, her voice combating the violins.
'Ace!' The Doctor commanded through gritted teeth, grabbing her arm and giving it a sharp tug. The young woman sat back in her chair and rolled her eyes.
'Blooming cheek.' The Doctor leaned forward and stared at the events of the opera.
'You should be more appreciative Ace,' He said, his eyes unstinting from the stage and his hands beginning to move in time with the music, a silent conductor of the higher arts. 'We're witnessing one of history's finest moments,' Ace folded her arms across her chest and shrugged her shoulders.
'Sounded better at the proms if you ask me.' She mumbled. The Doctor continued his mesmeronic trance with the music,
the screeching vocals, crashing drums and harmonic orchestra all culminating in a wonderful crescendo, The Doctor holding every note with a boyish charm, his mouth hanging open, as if his lives depended on his utmost attention.
The music came to a crashing end and the whole of La Fenice erupted in applause. All of the patrons, except Ace, stood to their feet and volleyed their approval and chants of encore and bravo. The curtains came down and then raised again, highlighting the cast as showers of red roses and other assorted flowers graced the stage, the adulation unending for what had been a pinnacle performance.
The Doctor clapped his hands together endlessly, stretching on his feet to get a much better view of the stage, his face and eyes wide with joy. He clapped and clapped and clapped, the only expression he was capable of telling the cast, and Wagner, of his appreciation. One final bow of the cast and the house lanterns came up, illuminating the grandiose interior of Italy's finest opera houses.
A loud murmur from the crowd then descended above their heads as the reviews and ranting of the audience filled the great hall, a terrible replacement for the musical odyssey that had just unfolded.
The row of seats began to slowly empty as The Doctor stood still, staring at the curtained stage and holding his hands. Ace unfolded her arms and pulled herself up from the worn red chair.
'About time, we ready Professor?' She said but The Doctor ignored her, his head still swimming in the eternal music.
'Professor,' She said again. 'Doctor!' She threw a light punch towards his shoulder and knocked the small Time Lord over a little.
'Yes Ace, yes.' He said, his rasping brogue strangely jovial and light. Ace had never seen her companion and tutor like this before and she found it strangely odd.

"A túzok határon átnyúló védelme Közép-Európában" LIFE+
The ancient communities of the area between the rivers Körös and Maros were the loess grasslands with small patches of plain boscages and groves of maples and oaks. Later, as the grasslands were converted into plough lands, the excellent quality grassland soils disappeared, thus the original vegetation has disappeared, and nowadays it can be seen only on some smaller patches on Cuman hows and confines. The Tatársánc native grassland is such a relict that has survived on the faint patch of a several thousand years old earthen motte. The people living at the end of the bronze age, around the centuries 8-5 BC, built the dyke Nagytatársánc on the edge of village Pusztaföldvár. The double dyke was built on an affluent of river Ancient Maros and was strengthened by a moat as well. The valuable native grassland was discovered by dr. István Kiss, botanist (1930) on the slope of this very rich historical place of Nagytatársánc.The highly protected 1 hectare size native grassland is covered by plant communities of plant species characteristic to the loess grasslands e.g. different varieties of sages, Teucrium chamaedrys, Viola ambigua, Fragaria viridis, Asperula cynanchica, meadow-rhubarb, hare's foot trefoil and jacobaea (Senecio jacobaea). Some individuals of Transsylvanian adonis also grow on some protected parts of slope of the dyke. One of the most precious plants is the Salvia nutans that lives only in the Southern Tiszántúl in Hungary.

Harold Feinstein (American, b. 1931), Two Sailors on Subway, Coney Island, N.Y., 1947. Gelatin silver print, 11 x 13 16/17 in. Gift of Dr. Kistaps J. Keggi 1991.574
The double vision of the position of this shot places us practically in the laps of the two sailors sitting in their whites side by side. The doubled sailor hats in the foreground obscure our view of how they see us. At the same time, the shot through the bars of the subway car doubles the scene in framing the view of two passengers who look back at us. The smiling, relaxed, and intimate posture of the two sailors suggests an attachment and an inside joke exchanged. While the photograph seems to let us in on a secret, it also makes the intimacy of our viewing position an integral part of this multiplied scene of looking.

Ten Great Tv Comedy Sidekicks
Once the Christmas movies start coming on TV I start on the lookout for my favorites so that i can share them with my families. I look forward every of the following movies yearly. If there are any here that the not seen, I indicate that you try them out with your children, or by yourself. They will help an individual into the xmas season and into the break spirit.
"My phone has been ringing off the hook. I have a stable of 150 comedians, always have 20 waiting, and try on three or four new faces a year," said Kephart, in which has a popularity of discovering some within the biggest names in comedy including ray romano father, Tim Allen, Rosie O'Donnell and Drew Carey. Kephart admits that they has a great eye for talent and uses this is equally talent since they are good and he's charging an target audience.
Okay.he's not the 'real" Tim Allen (obviously!); however he used the actor's photo in his profile. Well whatever it is, I'm thankful to Mr. Tim Allen for pointing me in ideal direction.
First of all, Consider this film is the pioneer truly great sequel. Second of all, James Whale was finally able place a soundtrack to the film. The moody themes in the score perfectly fit some of the newest characters; for example the Bride and Doctor Pretorius as played to chilling perfection by Ernest Thesiger. Let's not forget, some among the special effects in Bride of Frankenstein were prior to when their some amount of time. But, the biggest improvement of this sequel will be the Monster micro. Before, he was almost a coward and animalistic in his fury. Now, Karloff's Monster has persistence.
Also, the Starz cable network is making its new drama "Boss," starring Kelsey Grammer readily available for free a preview to those who are not current subscribers to the network. From now until Friday's premiere, the first episode for this series accessible on OnDemand for release. "Boss" is about a tough as nails and corrupt Chicago politician that in the very first stages of a particular health excitement. The critics are already calling it a success. The Hollywood Reporter calls "Boss" "a game-changer for pay The television." It could well be a cable series to discover a strong following like other greats like HBO's "The Sopranos" and Emmy favorite "Mad Men". "Boss" premieres Friday October 21, at 10 P.M. on Starz, Atlanta Comcast channel 321/710. Look at your local listings for specific channel information for pick a where reside.
Ira's luck changes as he performs after George crashes and burns with a dour little comedy work out routine. The stand-up comedy rust was showing in George, who had just started performing again for the perception of it. George stays around long enough to see Ira mocking him component of his set. Ended up being good, but George sees potential for the better work. As encouragement he gives Ira the chance of a lifetime: to be his personal assistant and joke playwright. Ira has no problems being George's errand boy and sounding board.

GroundedPosted: February 10, 2015 Filed under: Foundation, Strength, Uncategorized, Yoga | Tags: breath, breathe, effort, engagement, grounded, support Leave a comment
"You are very grounded lately!" my friend Jennie remarked while we were texting about something mutually frustrating. It was nice to hear. I feel it, but it's always good when someone else notices it, too.
I am grounded. Even with lots of complicated stuff going on in my life that could easily knock me off balance — and sometimes does — I feel pretty solid. I know that no matter what happens, I can handle it. I'll be okay. Maybe even more than okay.
Here's the thing I've learned about being grounded: It's not as much of an effort as you think. Some effort and engagement are required, sure. But more than that, you just have to let it happen. It's counterintuitive (like so much of life): You actually need to do some opening up and letting go in order to root down and find your grounding.
Here's the best way I can describe it, courtesy of my yoga practice today and every day. When I lie on my back at the end of class in that final resting pose we call savasana, I always take note of my lower back, which more often than not is curved slightly up and away from the floor. I take note of it, and then I forget about it. I concentrate on my breath, noticing as it enters and leaves my chest. I feel the up and down motion, and I feel the support of the floor underneath me.
A few minutes later, when we start to come back to ourselves, I take note of my lower back again. Always, it has moved gently down to the floor, nice and flat against it. It doesn't feel like an effort, and there's no arching or straining at all. My breath and the support of the ground (gravity!) have helped it to release.
That's being grounded. It doesn't have to be forced: If you just slow down, let go, and breathe, it can happen.
Easier said than done? Yes. But still easier than you'd expect. And how comforting to know that just by breathing you can support yourself.

The second annual Northwood Fall Festival will be held in Central Park near Oram Drive on Saturday October 14.
It kicks off at 11 a.m. with a parade that starts at Northwood Commons (formerly the Great Eastern Shopping Center) on Woodville Road heading east before turning down Mary Avenue towards Central Park, according to Patrick McGaharan, chairman of the festival.
Over 50 vendors with food, beverages, and crafts will be on hand, as will as a DJ, exhibitors, a car show, a beekeeper, and a kids' area.
Beer and wine will also be available. Identification will be required.
The kids' area features games, a rock climbing wall, extreme trampoline, face painting, pumpkin painting, a book exchange, and more.
"The kids really liked the rock climbing wall last year," he said.
Children and adults will also be able to pose for fun photos in face cut-outs.
Also on hand will be two K-9 dogs from area communities, as well as Nature's Nursery, and the Toledo Zoo.
"We don't know what animals the Toledo Zoo is going to bring. Last year, they brought a giant rabbit," said McGaharan. A guest author will also be on hand to read to children and hand out copies of her book.
A $5 wristband will give children access to all activities throughout the day, said McGaharan.
There will be bands during the day and evening, including Duet To-It, Engine 19, and 56Daze.
"We only had one band last year. This year, we'll have entertainment throughout the day," he said.
Also featured will be Jacob Smith, a wood carver, a junior firefighter challenge, and junior and adult cornhole tournaments. Winners of the tournaments will receive prizes.
The junior cornhole tournament begins at 1 p.m. Participants must be middle school or high school. No registration fee. Registration at the event will be from 12:15 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. Prizes will be awarded.
The adult cornhole tournament starts at 3 p.m. It is $20 per person. Individuals will be paired up. First place prize is $250 and second place prize is $100. Prior registration guarantees participation. Registration is from 2:15 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.
Judges will also declare the winner of a scarecrow contest in which participants create scarecrows. The scarecrow must be at the Central Park Shelter House by Noon on Oct. 14.
"People decorate and make a scarecrow, bring it to the festival, and one of them is declared the winner. We had about 15 entrants last year, and we hope to have more this year," he said.
McGaharan said last year's attendance was much more than he had expected.
"It was overwhelming. It was the first year. We never thought we'd have that many people," he said. "We are a small group [of organizers]. We were extremely busy the whole day, which was good."
This year, there are more vendors, he added. "We're up to 55 vendors now. So we have quite a few. More than we had last year."
Northwood City Administrator Bob Anderson said he enjoyed last year's festival.
"I liked the food, and playing cornhole. I'm not much of a cornhole player, but I did OK. They have a pretty good lineup this year. Looks like there will be something for the whole family," he said.
