This game is probably only playable for FPV-Drone-type people and you have to have a gamepad with at least two joysticks and a couple of buttons. To set everything up, take a look at the crappy YouTube-clips at the bottom of the page. 😉 To play full screen visit this page instead: FULLSCREEN
Disclamer: It's a bit buggy, I'm not really a game programmer, most problems can be solved by reloading the page. 🙂
Playing with a gamepad requires a gamepad. It have to be set up under settings, if that seem like a hassle, check the video at the bottom of the page and it should be very easy because of the the educational skill of the person behind it and the quality of the video.
Playing with a gamepad requires mad keyboarding-skills and that you select it in settings.
The keys you should use are: W-S: throttle, I-K: pitch, D: yaw, J: roll and Space for fire.

Earlier today, Comcast held an earnings call with their line of investors. During the call, it was revealed that the company is still very much interested in a wireless plan but the details are still scarce. While Comcast is keeping their supposed wireless plans tucked away, executives for the Comcast company did make mention that NBCUniversal will likely offer up spectrum of theirs to the FCC, which will then go up for auction. However, Comcast Cable Chief Neil Smit has made mention that the company is still undetermined if they will make a bid in order to purchase the particular spectrum.
For those unaware, last week news broke out that Comcast was interested in bringing out wireless plan. This news came through Bloomberg by unnamed sources and it seems increasingly likely that the statements hold some weight. Comcast is capable of releasing a wireless plan because of the 2012 airwaves deal through Verizon which allowed select cable companies such as Comcast, to resell Verizon's cellular service. At the time, Comcast didn't comment on the matter but Verizon's Chief Financial Officer, Fran Shammo, spoke with Verizon's investors in which he made mention of select cable companies beginning to come up with ways to resell their wireless service.
Right now it's unknown if NBCUniversal will, in fact, give up a spectrum, though if they do, then Comcast will have to bid against others in order to purchase that spectrum. Additionally, Comcast CEO, Brian Roberts, stated that even though Comcast is currently conducting various trials, because of the 2012 Verizon deal, there is no news that he's willing to discuss on the cable company offering a wireless service through Verizon's cellular network or their own Comcast's Wi-Fi hotspot. Since there are tests being conducted, it could be a good sign that Comcast may attempt to purchase the spectrum during the auction.
The FCC is holding an auction for a 600 MHz spectrum which may cause a few companies that are not directly involved with cellular companies to flock towards the auction, in hopes to gain some spectrum. This auction won't take place until next year, but so far there are some big numbers going around by analysts on just how much this auction could bring in and it appears that will be around $60 billion in total bids. It will be interesting to see which companies partake in the auction, that is not directly cellular focused and if Comcast throws any bids for the spectrum.

Father Cusick
October 27, 2013
Thirtieth Sunday of Ordinary Time
Sirach 35, 12-14.16-18; Psalm 34, 2-3. 17-18.19-23; 2
Timothy 4, 6-8.16-18; St. Luke 18, 9-14
What is the Pharisees' sin? He attends the temple worship as he ought, does he not? To all appearances he performs outwardly all that God demands, and in fine form. His actions are deceiving to all but God, however, for his heart is far from the Lord. He is blinded by his pride and ends by making himself God's equal. He was "self-righteous" and he held "everyone else in contempt". When we are unable to simply thank the Lord for our many unmerited gifts, and beg him for his mercy, seeking the grace to return His love for us, we make ourselves God's equal. This is the sin of the Pharisee.
"The first movement of the prayer of petition is asking forgiveness, like the tax collector in the parable: 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!' It is a prerequisite for righteous and pure prayer. A trusting humility brings us back into the light of communion between the Father and his Son Jesus Christ and with one another, so that 'we receive from him whatever we ask.' Asking forgiveness is the prerequisite for both the Eucharistic liturgy and personal prayer." (CCC 2631)
Our prayer in the Liturgy is a great offering before God and brings him glory when it is offered with a contrite and humble heart. We acknowledge our sinfulness at the start of each Mass in the "Penitential Rite" in order that we may properly humble ourselves before the thrice-holy God.
"Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God." (St. John Damascene, De fide orth. 3, 24:PG 94, 1089C.) But when we pray, do we speak from the height of our pride and will, or 'out of the depths' of a humble and contrite heart? (Psalm 130:1) He who humbles himself will be exalted;(Cf. Lk 18:9-14) humility is the foundation of prayer. Only when we humbly acknowledge that 'we do not know how to pray as we ought,' (Rom 8:26) are we ready to receive freely the gift of prayer. 'Man is a beggar before God.' (St. Augustine, Sermo 56, 6,9:PL 38, 381.)"(CCC 2559)
When we humble ourselves it is then, the Lord promises us, we will be exalted: "He who humbles himself will be exalted". That our deepest longing to share in God's glory forever in heaven may be fulfilled, we must eschew all pride and vainglory. We do this by becoming "little children". We look to the Father in adoration, love and worship. Every offering of the Mass gives us the perfect opportunity to turn as children back to the Father, to make the prayer of the tax collector our own: "O God, be merciful to me, a sinner." His sincere and humble offering was worth more than all the temple sacrifices, for it was the expression of a "humble, contrite heart".
That we may be "exalted", "raised up" by the Lord who rose from the dead to raise us up, let us treasure every grace of contrition, and respond to every impulse to repeat the blessed prayer we learn from the tax collector, "O God be merciful to me, a sinner".
"Penance requires . . . the sinner to endure all things willingly, be contrite of heart, confess with the lips, and practice complete humility and fruitful satisfaction." (CCC 1450)
In every Mass we begin our worship by examining our consciences that we may offer an acceptable gift at the altar. We place ourselves in our true position before God, needy souls who come to him for every good. In every confession we respond with honesty to our acknowledgement of serious sin. We tell the priest all of our grave sins by species, that is what we have done, and number, how many times we have committed each sin. This, and sorrow for our sins, are all that are required and, in return, we receive the overflowing mercy of the Father in the priest's prayer of absolution. These are the attitudes of the humble heart that are so pleasing to the Father and thus truly lead to our exaltation as blessed souls in heaven.

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Luke 18:9-14
Gospel Summary
Luke introduces the parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector with the statement that it is addressed "to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else." Two men go up to the temple to pray. The Pharisee, standing in a prominent place, thanks God that he is not like the rest of humanity—or even like the tax collector he had noticed. He also reminds God that he fasts twice a week, and pays tithes on his whole income. The tax collector, standing at a distance, beats his breast and prays, "O God, be merciful to me a sinner." Jesus then remarks that the tax collector who humbled himself before God went home justified, not the Pharisee who had exalted himself.
The Pharisee, the Publican, and Humility
The parable of the Pharisee and the Publican (aka tax collector) teaches us a lot about pride, humility and . . . insanity. And it even gives us insight into one of the principal battle cries of the Protestant Reformation — "sola gratia" or "grace alone."
Each year, at one of our country's leading Catholic universities, a professor does a survey with each incoming class of students. He puts to them this question: "If you were to die tonight and appear at the pearly gates, what would be your entry ticket?"
30th Sunday: The Lord Hears the Cry of the Abandoned
Paul, the intense and dynamic fighter for the Lord, was left alone. He had returned to Jerusalem to consult with the twelve original apostles. He had gone to the Temple to pray. Then those who were fighting against this new Jewish sect now called Christians saw Paul and told the crowd that this is the man who is preaching blasphemy. They began beating him. Paul was rescued by the Romans. They had to carry him over the crowd to keep him alive. Paul was then brought before Claudius Lysias, the Roman Tribune. Ananias the high priest came to demand Paul's death. Forty of the Jews vowed to neither eat nor drink until Paul was put to death. And Paul was left all alone.
Greed destroys, money is God's gift to use to help others, pope says
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Money by itself isn't a problem, but greed and an attachment to money cause evil and destroy families and relationships, Pope Francis said.
"Money is needed to bring about many good things," he said in his morning Mass homily Oct. 21, "but when your heart is attached (to money), it destroys you."
Sinners Are Close to theHeart of God, Pope Reflects
VATICAN CITY — In his daily Mass homily today, Pope Francis stressed that Jesus came to save sinners, emphasizing also the importance of knowing God on more than an intellectual level.
"I have come to heal, to save," said the Pope, quoting the words of Jesus from the Gospel.
Some Hard Spiritual Truths That Will Set You Free. A Meditation on a Teaching from St. John of the Cross
I have written before on Five Hard Truths That Will Set You Free. In this post I would like to ponder Some Hard Spiritual truths that will set us free.
In calling them "hard truths," I mean that they are not the usual cozy bromides that many seek. They speak bluntly about the more irksome and difficult realities we confront. But, if we come to accept them, they have a strange way of bringing serenity by getting us focused on the right things, instead of chasing after false dreams.
The Miracle of John Paul II
Moments after Pope John Paul II's death on April 2, 2005, the chant "Santo subito! Santo subito!" ["Sainthood now!"] begins from the sad, but somehow exhilarated, crowd in St. Peter's Square. Through all the events that are part of burying a pope, it continues.
Through all this, in the south of France, Sr. Marie Simon-Pierre's struggle with Parkinson's is not going well. For some time before his death watching him on television had gotten too hard. "I saw myself," she would later remember, "my own future."
Mary, My Guide to Understanding God's Mercy
I've always been a sucker for quotes. I keep a document on my computer, a folder in my Evernote, and have barely weaned myself of the scraps of paper that used to hold meaningful quotes in my purse, on my refrigerator, and in my office.
Why should St. Peter let you in
Each year, at one of our country's leading Catholic universities, a professor does a survey with his incoming class of students. He puts to them this question: "if you were to die tonight and appear at the pearly gates, what would be your entry ticket?
Did Mary Give the Rosary to Saint Dominic?
Did Mary give the Rosary to Saint Dominic? Catholic tradition states the Blessed Virgin Mary directly and personally instituted the Holy Rosary through Saint Dominic. A previous post described the traditional account of "How Mary Gave the Rosary to Saint Dominic."
Order! Order! A Meditation on how the mystery of order proclaims the glory of God
One of the things that most amazes me about the universe is its order. And its order is even more striking for its context of another widespread force: disorder, the tendency of things to fall apart. Let me explain.
Meeting the Master
When discussing the problem of the Catholic Church one of the main culprits is "poor catechesis". The lukewarmness of the laity, the misguided political correctness, the sentimentality, and bland, suburban do-gooder mentality prevalent in the pews is all blamed on "poor catechesis."
"If only the people had been taught what the Catholic Church really teaches. Then we'd be okay!"
Don't Ask Why
A few years ago I learned to stop asking "why" about suffering. A Jesuit priest said simply, "It is part of the human condition." When he said that, it was not a revelation to me, but rather an awakening or acceptance of that truth. I am thinking about that truth again as I watch friends suffer with serious illnesses.
Do You Know What Confirmation Is And What It Does?
First off, the best place to start exploring Confirmation is to begin by exploring what both the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation are and are not.
Baptism is the first of the Sacraments of Initiation, that is, a Sacrament which cleanses our souls of the guilt (not the stain) of original sin, makes us partakers of the Divine Nature, brings us into the family of God (the Church), makes us sons and daughters of the Father & brothers and sisters of Christ, and it gives us sanctifying and actual grace. It is not complete in the sense that it doesn't give us every grace we need to have a mature Christian faith. Rather, it is the gateway into a Christian and Sacramental life.
Four Lessons from Emmaus Road for the Anxious and Discouraged
We are all likely familiar with the "walk to Emmaus" (Luke 24:13-35) by two of Christ's disciples the evening of the Resurrection in Luke's Gospel. These two men, overcome with hopelessness and discouragement, were talking about the incredible events they had witnessed over the previous few days as they were walking to their home village of Emmaus outside of Jerusalem. As I read this Gospel passage in Eucharistic adoration yesterday, I was struck by the parallels with our modern world. These two men were anxious, despondent, and uncertain of their future and had even begun referring to Christ in the past tense. Considering the times we live in, don't we sometimes act and think like these two disciples?
Five Key Features of Blessed John Paul II's Theology of the Body
There is much excitement today, especially among the young, about John Paul II's "theology of the body"—the 129 catechetical addresses he gave between 1979 and 1984 that have revolutionized the way many theologians now teach about love, sexuality, and marriage.
The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail
Few promises of Jesus are as scary and yet so encouraging as the one made to Peter in Matthew 16:18.
"And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
The first part of the promise—Peter and the rock—has been the source of much contentious commentary because it supports the Catholic teaching on the papacy.
3 Absolutely Terrifying Visions of Hell
US Supreme Court Justice Antonin says he believes in hell and the Devil and gets mocked. But Scalia's allies are more important than his critics: aside from the majority of Americans, Jesus the Son of God, and his Vicar, Pope Francis, talk about both of those things in their teachings constantly.
Yes, hell is real, and for Catholics, it's existence is a matter of dogma. The Council of Florence in 1439 taught: "We define…[that] the souls of those who depart this life in actual mortal sin, or in original sin alone, go down straightaway to hell to be punished, but with unequal pains."
Stages of Sin from St. Bernard of Clairvaux – Fasten Your Seatbelt!
There are just times when a saint speaks and one is stunned by the insight, the piercing analysis, like a surgeon's scalpel dividing diseased from healthy tissue. Such is the case with a quote I read recently from St. Bernard that Ralph Martin references in his Book "The Fulfillment of all desires."
In this quote Bernard analyzes the descent into the increasing darkness of sin experienced by those who do not turn back, who refuse to hear the call to repent. And not individuals only, but, I would argue, cultures too.
Are You Bored With the Faith?
In a freshman composition class today, my students were analyzing John Taylor Gatto's essay, "Against School". Gatto, a former New York City public school teacher and writer, opens the essay by contemplating the problem of boredom, "I taught for thirty years in some of the worst schools in Manhattan, and in some of the best, and during that time I became an expert in boredom." Gatto goes one to explain that the students blame their boredom on the teachers. The teachers, who are every bit as bored as the students, blame the students for the problem.
A Mass-Centered Way to Talk About the Eucharist
Traditionally, Catholics from every spectrum of the Baptized faithful have done a really good job explaining 'what' the Holy Eucharist is and 'why' we believe it to be the Real Presence of Christ Jesus.
A simple but powerful definition of prayer.
I have read many definitions of prayer. I have been especially fond of St Therese's description.
But one of the nicest and briefest descriptions of prayer I have read comes from Dr. Ralph Martin, in his book The Fulfillment of All Desire. Dr. Martin says beautifully, in a way that is succinct and yet comprehensive and inclusive of diverse expression:
Prayer is, at root, simply paying attention to God (p. 121).
Cardinal Newman on Papal Infallibility
"It in no way depends upon the caprice of the Pope, or upon his good pleasure, to make such and such a doctrine, the object of a dogmatic definition. He is tied up and limited to the divine revelation, and to the truths which that revelation contains. He is tied up and limited by the Creeds, already in existence, and by the preceding definitions of the Church. He is tied up and limited by the divine law, and by the constitution of the Church.
Children as Commodities
The Council of the District of Columbia is considering a bill, sponsored by its most aggressively activist gay member, to legalize surrogate child-bearing in your nation's capital. Infertility is a heart-rending problem. But solving that problem is not what's at issue here, for the D.C. surrogacy bill is being pushed by the same people who brought "gay marriage" to the shores of the Potomac River: people who affirm what are, by definition, infertile "marriages."

How to Frame Your Mindset for Positive Outcomes
Having a more fulfilled life is a choice and to a large extent a result of the way you think. Here is some advice that will put your life into motion by helping you to shift your mindset. For better outcomes and a wider good!
Knowing your why and your values is the single most important thing. Any journey towards success or a certain vision will be a process – a process with ups and downs involved. Knowing what is driving you to take your time and put effort into something you desire to achieve will provide the main force of motivation. It will act as a useful reminder, especially as things get harder.
In order to became more conscious about your purpose, try to think of the following questions:
- What do you enjoy about what you have chosen to put your time into?
- What do you enjoy in what you care about?
- How have you found yourself here, what led you to this place?
- What do you see yourself achieving?
Knowing what your purpose and values are is something you can tap in every day. Do it by setting intentions around your purpose, knowing how you want to shape your experience and the world around you.
Writing down what your intention for the day is might service that higher goal or purpose that you want to achieve. It can be helpful if you share it with someone you trust. In this way you will be able to actually make a commitment to your intention and gain some additional support. In teams, we thrive, as the saying goes !
How to cope with the fast-paced rhythm of life? We are all in it, there is no exception.
The notion of mindfulness, that you probably heard a lot of already, might be very helpful here. Being mindful is to have the intention to embrace the present moment. Your mind will come and go and that's okay. Just notice the way it shifts and then bring it back gently.
Meditation is a great tool that can help you to learn how to continuously keep bringing your mind back to the present moment. This is especially important since a lot of our tasks today are very repetitive. Through meditating you will be able to get more perspective on things and realise that, often times, thoughts are just thoughts and your stories are, indeed, just stories:)
If you can have a short meditation practice every day, that's great. If not, however, you can also try to practice mindfulness during some activities you perform daily. Try brushing your teeth while being aware of your every move and sensations. Being mindful does not equal being seated and having your eyes closed all the time!
Another way would be to try to notice more small things around you, especially in places that you know very well. You know that daily walk or commute to work by heart? Try to notice 5 new things every day and see how much more grounded and aware you become with every day.
In the elite sports world, the margins that differentiate success from the lack of it (like getting on the Olympic team, for instance) are really, really tiny. This is where positive psychology comes in handy as it helps us to find the uniqueness in each of us and optimise our main strengths. The underlying belief in positive psychology is that we all have the capability to achieve what we strive towards. There are always clues to improve, even in failures.
In order to realise your uniqueness, it is best to realise what your greatest strengths are. Try to think of the following questions:
- What was your greatest performance?
- What have you been most proud of?
- What do you enjoy about your training?
- What sets you apart from your partners?
With all the drive and energy you might have after reading this article, you are now good to go and start changing your life. In order to keep this energy going, however, remember this secret rule. Always, always take time to switch off. While it's important to have time for harnessing your skills and nurturing your passions, it is also important to make time for simple things that fill your cup. This will help you get perspective on things and avoid an uneccessary burnout.
Have your downtown time with something that gives you a slightly different stimulation than your usual things. It's good to put this time into your overall 'action plan' too to make sure it actually happens. Remember you muscles grow when you rest!

Arrives in 3-7 Business Days
From an historian who advised on the BBCs Wolf Hall, an erudite romp through the intimate details of life in Tudor England.
On the heels of her triumphant How to Be a Victorian, Ruth Goodman travels even further back in English history to the era closest to her heart, the dramatic period from the crowning of Henry VII to the death of Elizabeth I. Drawing on her own adventures living in re-created Tudor conditions, Goodman serves as our intrepid guide to sixteenth-century living. Proceeding from daybreak to bedtime, this charming, illustrative work celebrates the ordinary lives of those who labored through the era. From sounding the hue and cry to alert a village to danger to malting grain for homemade ale, from the gruesome sport of bear-baiting to cuckolding and cross-dressing?the madcap habits and revealing intimacies of life in the time of Shakespeare are vividly rendered for the insatiably curious.8 pages of color illustrations

Reflecting Christ
Faith Is a Shield for Every Soul, April 22
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Ephesians 6:16. RC 126.1
Faith is trusting God—believing that He loves us, and knows best what is for our good. Thus, instead of our own, it leads us to choose His way. In place of our ignorance, it accepts His wisdom; in place of our weakness, His strength; in place of our sinfulness, His righteousness. Our lives, ourselves, are already His; faith acknowledges His ownership and accepts its blessing. Truth, uprightness, purity, have been pointed out as secrets of life's success. It is faith that puts us in possession of these principles. RC 126.2
Every good impulse or aspiration is the gift of God; faith receives from God the life that alone can produce true growth and efficiency. RC 126.3
How to exercise faith should be made very plain. To every promise of God there are conditions. If we are willing to do His will, all His strength is ours. Whatever gift He promises is in the promise itself. "The seed is the word of God" (Luke 8:11). As surely as the oak is in the acorn, so surely is the gift of God in His promise. If we receive the promise, we have the gift. RC 126.4
Faith that enables us to receive God's gifts is itself a gift, of which some measure is imparted to every human being. It grows as exercised in appropriating the Word of God. In order to strengthen faith, we must often bring it in contact with the Word. In the study of the Bible the student should be led to see the power of God's Word. In the creation, "he spake and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast" (Psalm 33:9).... RC 126.5
Viewed from its human side, life is to all an untried path. It is a path in which, as regards our deeper experiences, we each walk alone. Into our inner life no other human being can fully enter. As the little child sets forth on that journey in which, sooner or later, he must choose his own course, himself deciding life's issues for eternity, how earnest should be the effort to direct his trust to the sure Guide and Helper! RC 126.6
As a shield from temptation and an inspiration to purity and truth, no other influence can equal the sense of God's presence. "All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do." He is "of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity" (Hebrews 4:13; Habakkuk 1:13). This thought was Joseph's shield amidst the corruptions of Egypt. To the allurements of temptation his answer was steadfast: "How ... can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" (Genesis 39:9). Such a shield, faith, if cherished, will bring to every soul.—Education, 253-255. RC 126.7

Leading presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador would seek to increase investor confidence in Mexico to strengthen the peso and could hold auctions of oil rights, a top adviser said on Monday, striking a moderate tone days before the election.
Leftist Lopez Obrador is leading ahead of Sunday's vote and Alfonso Romo, his top business adviser, told reporters a Lopez Obrador government will do everything it can - short of intervention - to help the peso.
Romo, Lopez Obrador's nominee for chief of staff, said his government would seek to strengthen the rule of law and create business conditions that would give investors confidence in order to support the Mexican currency.
He echoed other advisers, saying Lopez Obrador would respect the independence of the central bank.
Mexico's peso sank to a 1-1/2 year low this month, hit by a broad dollar rally, a deadlock in talks to rework the NAFTA trade deal and nervousness ahead of the election.
Lopez Obrador, 64, is an anti-system third-time presidential candidate who promises to clean up corruption. Some of his proposals, such as suspending oil auctions, have unnerved investors.
The former Mexico City mayor holds a commanding double-digit lead in all major opinion polls, although one survey on Monday showed his lead narrowing slightly, to 12 points.
Romo sought to calm any jitters on Monday, saying there could be more auctions of oil drilling rights as long as a review of contracts that have already been awarded to private companies showed no problems.
"We will revise them and everything good will remain," he said, noting Lopez Obrador had taken the same message to investors in New York.
Romo said such a review should be finished quickly, ideally by October, during the transition period before Mexico's next president takes office in December.
Romo said he felt "at ease" with what he had reviewed so far regarding the landmark energy opening under current President Enrique Pena Nieto.

What you are never changes, what you appear to be never stops changing, one more word read and you are physically changing in a certainty that lives what we appear to be.
Particles are shed from the changing body from the beginning of its certainty, long before the mind has developed enough to be of any support to the changing form. Certainty remains after the mind's job has finished and is the heart of all changing things as they naturally move on.
Certainty is here before, during and after all changing things. Certainty naturally keeps the mind focused on an extremely complex changing form as one thing – with (certainty using clarity of itself) as the base of energy movements. It is overwhelming to think what one human body really is physically, all the physical living things we could isolate as forms lived by certainty on any given body for a second or 2 of time is incomprehensible.
Certainty creates the movement of mind and mind can always curtail the ride and settle back into the always available comfort of certainty once it (eases) into what it really is, mind has the certainty supplied energy to realize its origin.
No matter what is thought certainty never changes, if you notice certainty is what you are thoughts will continue to naturally change as usual, though the mind will have an understanding of certainty and the play of energetic things it changes. Like all experiences of mind an understanding is irrelevant to certainty, certainty was here when it was innocently overlooked and it is here when noticed, nevertheless clarity is often the result of this simple understanding. Everyone's identity as our present certainty is naturally overlooked, yet virtually at the same moment easily recognizable.

text: A skilled team of high class thieves have struck called the Clasher Clan. This team consists of their leader gazelle lady named Malinda Gazebo, a scrawny water monitor named Drake Dragonia, a demolition-crazy duck named Mandarin Mally, a muscle-bound elephant named Brawny Derm, a Dr. Blowhole-like narwhal genius named Professor Nary Wall, a stealthy wise-cracking loon named Looney Logan, a boomerang-wielding dingo named Boomer Range, and a warrior tanuki named Kata Nuki. This thief team has been pushing the buttons of the Cooper Gang recently, and kept getting them in trouble with Carmalita. In fact, Carmalita placed the Clashers on her list of criminals to seek and bust other than Sly and his friends. But when the Clashers end up framing Sly for the greatest museum heist in history: stealing the rubied heart of the Boundary Generator, all by mysteriously having some Cooper traces. Carmalita ends up thinking they are innocent since she knows Sly's better than that as there was no reason Sly would wanna steal something as valuable as that and attract unneeded attention. She makes a smart decision and contacts the Shell Lodgers to help her investigate the crime scene. While they are doing that, the theft has actually brought the attention of not just Team Nefarious, but also the Villain League, The Dark Dragon Scourge Empire, and every single suddenly-escaped inmate of Prison 42. But even so, everyone knows that the Clashers are impossibly hard to track down. When the Lodgers end up simultaneously helping Carmalita and the Cooper Gang at different times, our heroes must try their best to find the Clashers before the villains do. But there's someone else they have to deal with. One that is the true reason why the Clasher Clan had been easily capable of framing Cooper: they once had a Cooper within their ranks, and his name was Josh Cooper, a highly-talented thief who was a distant cousin to Sly. When he quit the Clan for currently-unexplained reasons, they kept many Cooper cards, yet intended to save them for a perfect time. Hopefully, this cousin of Sly should provide the location of the Clan's hideout.

The last week in August was stellar for Wareologie.
I am proud to report that despite stiff competition – Wareologie was awarded a $20,000 grant from Start Garden Demo Day 100 on August 27 at 20 Monroe Live in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
It began last spring, when a fellow female entrepreneur, Stacey Feeley of Sili Kids recommended looking into Start Garden. "Thank you Stacey!" I had to film a 30 second video directly on the Start Garden website (no editing allowed). I was happy we initially made it past the first screening and out of 776 applicants were one of just 100 selected to participate. Out of those 100, only 10 were eligible to win.
I grew up just south of Grand Rapids in Middleville and went to high school at East Kentwood so I was excited to return home and compete in GR.
This was not your traditional stage "pitch" where you have to present to a bunch of intimidating judges and large crowd. This was more like a trade show with a lively, party atmosphere. We had a 6×6' space to present our wares. (pun intended).
We just went into production in August and are preparing to exhibit at our first tradeshows so the venue was ideal. It pushed my team to think outside the box and determine the best way to "wow" the judges who strolled through the event visiting each booth.
We have a unique challenge with our brand. Our company name is Ware·ologie. We develop "hardware" to restore independence and empower people facing dexterity challenges. We intentionally spelled our name with an "ie" for independence and empowerment.
Our first product to market is Buttons 2 Button Magnetic Adapters. It's hard enough marketing one name let alone two. We've learned some tough lessons while on the field, running with the football. We are adapters, so we are learning the lessons attempting to lessen the confusion around who we are and what we do.
All our hard work paid off and we are beyond thrilled to report we were selected 1 out of 10 grand prize winners! This is a truly needed cash injection to help us go to market and reach our customers!
But this does more than just fill our coffers. The recognition demonstrates company vitality and instills confidence in our partners. I am hoping this opens the doors to new opportunities for future funding because the reality is, starting a company takes capital. And before the revenue starts flowing, we need support by foundations and individuals to cover startup costs.

The Sedition Act
On this day, July 14, in 1798 the Sedition Act was signed into law by President John Adams. The Sedition Act made it illegal for Americans to write in the form of publications, such as news organizations, or utter phrases in public that were deemed to be a fabrication or 'malicious' against the government or sitting administration. The repercussions were unmistakable.

Some 30% of Israelis who suffer from high blood pressure don't keep up with their medication, a survey conducted by the Millward Brown research company for the Israeli Society for Hypertension has found.
The survey polled 500 men and women over the age of 18, seeking to increase awareness about a common disease in Israel and the importance of treating it.
Related stories:
- Israeli research: Job burnout may raise Type 2 diabetes risk
Some 15% of the population in Israel suffers from high blood pressure, with a higher incidence among men (22%) than among women (9%). According to the survey, most of the population, even most hypertension sufferers, were aware of the disease and its symptoms. Some 85% of respondents and 93% of those who suffered from hypertension correctly cited 120/80 as normal blood pressure. Awareness among respondents age 50 and up stood at 90%.
Another interesting figure is that most Israelis have checked their blood pressure: 89% of the total population and 96% of Israelis with high blood pressure said they checked their BP at home or at the doctor's. Fifteen percent of the population and 22% of hypertension sufferers had checked their blood pressure in the past month, and some 30% of the total population had had their BP checked in the past six months.
What gets our blood boiling:
Excessive irritation and increased tension are known factors that raise blood pressure, especially among sufferers from hypertension. But what makes Israelis angry? According to the survey, the main causes of irritation were family fights; fights with a partner (69%); traffic jams (61%); followed by workplace conflicts, long lines in the supermarket and the hot weather (50%). Only 27% of respondents said they were upset when the house wasn't clean.
However, the survey presented worrying numbers about the tracking and treatment of high blood pressure. Some 15% of people who suffered from high blood pressure said that they did not take any medication and that 30% of hypertension sufferers had skipped taking one or more of their prescribed medications in the past month. More men (38%) reported skipping medication than women (13%).
Of those who took medication to manage their blood pressure, some 14% had asked their doctors to take them off the treatment. The most common reason for the request was side effects (8%). Another reason was that the patients were feeling better and didn't not see any reason to continue the treatment.
High blood pressure, also known as the "silent killer," is the most common disease among adults. One-quarter of the adult population in Israel suffers from hypertension, which becomes more common with age. Close to 7.6 million people worldwide die each year from complications stemming from high blood pressure.

Johnson with James post-ESPYS
Anytime LeBron James or Victor Cruz steps out in rigs lesser men wouldn't have a shot in hell of pulling off, you have Rachel Johnson to thank. As stylist to some of the biggest names in the NBA and beyond, Johnson's job is to make her guys look as good off the court as they play on it. And for an event like the ESPYS, when the world of sports gets gussied up, she's on overdrive. We caught up with Johnson post-ESPYS to find out why LeBron went bold, Cruz kept it cool, and the one professional out there she'd love to get her stylish hands on.
GQ: For the record, who did you dress for the ESPYS?
** Rachel Johnson:** I dressed LeBron and his fiancée Savannah, and I dressed Victor [Cruz].
GQ: What's the process like getting these guys ready for a big night like Wednesday?
** RJ:** My planning is different between LeBron and Victor, because LeBron can't wear off the rack.
GQ: Let's talk about LeBron's tudo. Was that his idea or something you saw him in?
** RJ:** LeBron called me about three weeks ago, and he was like, "I'm going to the ESPYS and I want to wear a burgundy tudo with black lapels, a white shirt, and a black bow tie." Knowing that I have three weeks for him, that's automatically a Boswell job. I have a go-to tailor named Waraire Boswell out of L.A. who is the only tailor who I trust with my clients, because he always delivers on time and he always delivers a really beautiful, quality product. Had I had four weeks or five weeks, maybe I would have called Tom Ford or Ralph Lauren, but in these instances where time is a factor and I need custom, I call Boswell.
GQ: Does LeBron usually have that specific of an idea in mind?
** RJ:** He really doesn't. A lot of times, we'll go back and forth about it. I may send him pictures or inspiration that get his juices flowing and then he'll build upon what I send. But this time he was very specific about what he wanted to wear.
GQ: Once you get the custom tux, do you still have to do a fitting or is it usually good to go?
** RJ:** It still takes some tweaking. I use my local tailors to nip and tuck things, because every piece needs it--even a custom piece from someone who's made twenty suits for you.

When you go through the motions, the ups and downs, the string of rejections right after each other, you only have to focus on one thing: to get something out of the situation nonetheless. It can be anything, even if it is miles apart from the initial goal, leave with it anyway. It doesn't make you a loser, it teaches you to never leave out of a situation empty-handed. It teaches you to always gain, no matter what. It may be hard to swallow at first, but trust me, it gets better with time. And as you continue, you notice the confidence in you rising with every new win. Confidence is powerful, in that it always makes you feel like you can do it. Regardless of what the objective is, it makes you say, 'If I made it before, I'll make it again!' And that's only because all along you've been teaching yourself to never leave a situation empty-handed, by always making a gain. A victory is a victory. There's no big win or a small one. If you race a car in a championship and you only passed your closest competitor by half a micro-second, then it's a clear and undisputed win. And the second in place knows it as well. That's why it hurts so bad to have just narrowly missed a success, because you know if you were at number one, you would have won.
This is basic crisis management. It is a fundamental skill of managers in service sector organizations. If they can navigate the group out of messed up economies & political instability, they survive – and the manager usually gets a big, fat raise in the millions. Why? Because crisis management is a highly prized capability to have, in any business. Life however is our business, and we're each top managers of our lives. Being able to navigate through the murky, confusing and often hostile maze of life in the world, this skill enables us to withstand b s as it comes. Look at it this way: if you can't make a gain of your original goal, make a draw, at the very worst, but you won't settle for a loss. And it's really that easy. Give a try today, with whatever plan you have. Make it happen. Resolve to yourself within, that you will not take defeat as an option, and you will have to get something valuable of the occasion.
Go get 'em!

BMW F10 retrofit – the answer for all of your questions regards how to make a good use of whole functions offered by your BMW vehicle
Taken from: http://www.flickr.com
Purchasing an automobile made by BMW company is considered to be a real luxury. It is so, because the vehicles designed by this German brand are one of the best available worldwide. Hence, if we look for the best alternatives available and we don't have to care about the expenses that much. It is so, because for example due to such options like retrofit BMW combox we can prepare our car in such way that inter alia we will decrease the likelihood of car accidents.

Now that Aleppo has fallen to Assad's forces, people in Eastern Ghouta, a heavily populated, rebel-held Syrian suburb outside of regime-stronghold Damascus, are wondering if they will be next.
A hot spot for some of the earliest and most intense anti-government protests in 2011, Eastern Ghouta became a rebel-stronghold in 2013. That year, the city suffered a sarin gas attack by government forces that killed hundreds and famously prompted U.S. President Barack Obama to ignore his previously drawn "red line" on chemical weapons use. The area's been under siege ever since.
Home to an estimated 450,000 people and one of the strongest remaining rebel coalitions, Eastern Ghouta has endured frequent bombardment and shelling from regime forces and ally Russia, which entered the war in 2015.

CHICAGO: The 'Big Five' consultancies have not traditionally been known for the way they market themselves. Last week, Arthur Andersen gave another sign that this is about to change.
CHICAGO: The 'Big Five' consultancies have not traditionally been
known for the way they market themselves. Last week, Arthur Andersen
gave another sign that this is about to change.
Months after PricewaterhouseCoopers hired Porter Novelli to lead a
comprehensive image revamp (PRWeek, July 19, 1999), Andersen announced
specific details about the dollars 2 million it plans to spend on PR
this year as part of a massive rebranding campaign.
The effort was spurred by market research which found that the business
world considered Andersen primarily an auditing/accounting firm -
activities that make up only about 30% of its dollars 7 billion in
annual business. 'We have a bit of an identity crisis,' admitted
managing partner of communications and integrated marketing Matthew
Among the steps already taken have been the hiring of Ketchum as agency
of record and a 24-hour informational Webcast about the branding
campaign for employees. Additionally, Gonring's army of 650
communications staffers has been working on internal communications
about the new image for several months.
'If you don't get your own houses in order, all the PR or marketing or
advertising in the world is going to be only so effective,' Gonring
The branding campaign stems from Andersen's desire to become more of a
force in the e-commerce world. PR activities will include efforts to get
senior-level execs slated as speakers at key industry conferences and
promoting media coverage of Andersen as a 'thought leader,' according to
Jane Ostrander, who heads up the company's media and public
Arthur Andersen is currently embroiled in a dollars 1 billion legal
battle over its consulting business with former sister company Andersen

The Lounge Co.
Sofa Brands International, the UK's leading branded sofa group, has expanded its portfolio with the launch of a new aspirational and contemporary brand, The Lounge Co. Alongside three other well established brands, The Lounge Co appeals to the style conscious consumer offering new ranges of sofas and chairs.
As well as developing a strong online presence for the brand, The Lounge Co. wanted to open its flagship store to coincide with their launch. turnerbates Design and Architecture were appointed to design a scheme to be implemented into their first ever showroom, set out over two floors, the site occupying 4,671 sq ft, is located on a prominent corner along Chiswick High Road, London.
Working closely with The Lounge Co., turnerbates developed a scheme that would reflect the brand's identity and create a backdrop for their products. They wanted it to become a space to exhibit and show off the ranges whilst creating a warm and inviting space for customers.
Upon entry, customers are greeted with two armchairs, suspended in mid-air over a void looking down into the space below. Other design highlights include an oak timber welcome desk with integrated storage; a digital screen, which forms a focal point in the store; and a set of painted columns which run through both stores and link the spaces together.
Sarah Acres, Lead Designer from turnerbates, said:
"The store was different to many projects that we had worked on previously with several constraints within the space, the main challenge was the void to the front of the store which resulted in limited visibility from street view and restricted space for product display within the windows.
"To work around this constraint, oak frames on metal posts with interchangeable display posters were designed to be staggered within the windows, creating depth and movement while still allowing visibility into the store. Suspended platforms to display furniture were also introduced over the voids adding an additional layer of movement to draw the eye into the space."
Minimal black and white colours were used to distinguish key areas within the store, the use of simple, crisp painted lines were used to reflect the brand's attention to detail within their products and painted terracotta blocks were implemented along the walls to add warmth. Clever 'paint zones' were also added, including painted rafts over the fabric bars and staircase to help differentiate the various areas within the showroom. A combination of contrasting materials have also been used throughout the space, with an oak timber slatted welcome desk, black metal framework and warm colour palette to develop a relaxed design approach with a subtle industrial/warehouse feel.
Emphasising the brand's values throughout was a contributing factor to the concept and one of the key values was to focus on multi-channel shopping whilst still maintaining a simple and transparent buying experience. This was achieved by introducing interactive fabric bars across the two floors, with warm oak timber desks and storage units complete with black metal framed shelves, providing customers with access to the extensive range of fabric samples, accessories and touch screens for a comfortable, easy online buying experience.
Since completing the scheme, The Lounge Co. showroom has created a positive buying experience for their customers, with fantastic feedback received, resulting in a successful first year of trading.
Julian Neal, Director at The Lounge Co. quoted:
"We are a demanding client! I would never settle for less than the best and the turnerbates team has delivered for us. Thank You."

As you might have guessed, this page is all about music. I have rather wide ranging tastes in what I listen to, but my first love is Celtic. I've been listening to Celtic music long before it became trendy and have built up quite a collection of favorites. If I listed all of them, it would take up several web pages! So, here's just a small sampling of what I really like.
A long time favorite, and in the more traditional vein is Phil Cunningham of ''Silly Wizard'' fame. He has several solo albums and has appeared on the albums of a wide range of artists. He was also a member of the band "Relativity". He produces a great deal, which leads us to... Connie Dover. She combines Celtic with the music of early America. Her voice is exquisite. I know the term "voice of an angel" is cliché, but hers is that. Loreena McKennitt is always a sure bet for wonderful music. If you only know her music from her hit "The Mummer's Dance" then you're missing a real treat. She has half a dozen other albums to check out. I'd be hard pressed to pick just one favorite, but 1985's "Elemental" would be on the list. Another perennial favorite of mine, and a group I've been fortunate enough to see live many times over the past 12 years is Golden Bough. Not only wonderful music, but wonderful people as well.
Performers that bridge the gap between traditional and modern that I love to listen to are groups like the outstanding Capercaillie. There is the often used quote of Sean Connery's that "Karen Matheson has a throat that is surely touched by God..." you won't get any argument from me on that point. They represent some of the best of the both the past and the future of Scottish music. Then there are groups like Tempest. Traditional but with a rock beat. And in Tempest's case a little Viking rock thrown in for flavour. This is another group I've been fortunate to see live a great deal since their inception. Their concerts are always great fun -- whether at a pub or Highland games -- a great time is had by all.
I do actually listen to music that isn't Celtic -- honest! I would have to say Cowboy Junkies leads the pack as my favorite in that group. A friend introduced me to their stuff on a trip a few years back. She told me it was angsty -- I'd like it. I did. A lot of their pieces are like stories set to music. Which I like. Another fave is Sarah McLachlan. You got it -- more angst. She writes the best depressing music....
I also listen to a lot of Big Band. I really like Glenn Miller and music of any type from the 40s. The whole swing revival is really great -- new old music! A new music for me is country. I have very few CDs. But of what I do have, I'm really enjoying Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill & Vince Gill. If you drop by sometime in the future, you might find some country links here.
There are some great music resources on the web. The Ceolas Celtic Music Archive has just about everything you ever wanted to know about Celtic music in one place. Tony's Celtic Music Page has a great selection of MIDI sound files as well as lots of other great info. If you'd like to keep track of your favorite performers and their concert dates -- check out Pollstar Concert Hotwire. It's a great service, especially for people like me who hear about a concert the day after it happens.
My favorite place to buy music is CD
Universe. I get almost all my Cds from them and have always been happy
with the price and the service. A great place to buy Celtic music is Green
Linnet. They have a huge selection to choose from.

If the detachment is granted, it will take effect immediately. Sugar Creek Township Trustee Jake Dalessandro, who resides inside the Dalton village limits, could no longer be a township trustee. The village would also need to work with the county prosecutor to address any levy money still owed to the township.
If the detachment is denied, Sugar Creek Township would continue to collect existing and future levies from Dalton taxpayers.

When I first tried this beer I was three sheets to the wind. All I remembered about it was how forward the grapefruit flavors were and that I loved every drop of the pint I had ordered. Flash forward about 3 years and I've finally picked up a bottle for review. Let's see if this beer lives up to the memories.
KNUCKLE SANDWICH is a seasonal release from Bootlegger's Brewery. This Imperial IPA has 87.8 IBUs and a 10% ABV.
This is a beer that truly lives up to it's name! Brewed with copious amounts of North American hops, this double IPA has a colossal hop profile and an aggressive aroma. Helping round out the floral and citrus notes is a huge malt backbone that provides a great mouthfeel to this heavyweight hitter.
There's something about the deep amber/copper color you get from a good Imperial IPA that makes me very excited. With Knuckle Sandwich here, if you held the glass at the right angle this color almost looked like a red wine. A half-inch of taupe foam leads to some mild, but persistent lacing.
As I said before my main memory about this beer was the abundance of grapefruit flavors/aromas in this beer. This is why I was a little taken aback to be bombarded by a big whiff of pine at the forefront of the nose. This pine needle flavor quickly melds into a bouquet of sweet fruits and citrus flavors. Amongst these, huge notes of grapefruit and tangerine jumped out at me. Hints of lemon, oak, and alcohol were also picked up as well. This is still one of the best smelling IIPAs on the market.
The taste isn't quite as good as the nose leads you to believe, but it's damn close. Oak-soaked pine hops start off each sip. This transitions into a sweet grapefruit and mandarin orange center, before ending with a touch of caramel malts and brown sugar. After the beer warms up a bit these notes tart to meld together into a flavor I like to call "awesomeness".
Mouthfeel is surprisingly thick for an Imperial IPA. Carbonation bubbles dart around your cheeks as you drink this beer down. Massive amounts of stickiness is left over, but it's not as annoying as it is with other beers. It's almost like a fond memory of sips past.
Knuckle Sandwich is a beer I wish I had more access to. Sadly it's only a limited release and comes but once a year. This beer was the first IPA/Imperial IPA that I can recall that really accented the grapefruit-like hops. Although the grapefruit isn't as big in the taste as I remember, this is still a helluva beer.
Overall: 9 out of 10
As an IMPERIAL IPA: 8.5 out of 10
FOR FANS OF: Black Diamond RAMPAGE IMPERIAL IPA, Epic IMPERIAL IPA, Stone RUINATION TENTH ANNIVERSARY IPA

—A Concerned Unit Owner
"Developed in the context of commercial enterprises, the business judgment rule prohibits judicial inquiry into actions of corporate directors "taken in good faith and in the exercise of honest judgment in the lawful and legitimate furtherance of corporate purposes."... So long as the corporation's directors have not breached their fiduciary obligation to the corporation, "the exercise of (their powers) for the common and general interests of the corporation may not be questioned, although the results show that what they did was unwise or inexpedient. [citations omitted]"
This case has been applied to many different types of board decisions. In fact, the Appellate Division (second highest Court in New York State) applied the same standard in the case of Greene v. Levine, 57 A.D.3d 627, 871 N.Y.S.2d 187 (2nd Dept., 2008) which related to a board decision concerning a budget. That Court held:
"In reviewing the reasonableness of the Association's exercise of its authority, "absent claims of fraud, self-dealing, unconscionability, or other misconduct, the court should apply the business judgment rule and should limit its inquiry to whether it was taken in good faith and in furtherance of the legitimate interests of the corporation." [citations omitted]
Likewise, the business judgment rule has been applied with respect to a board's determination to repair common areas. Schoninger v. Yardarm Beach HOA, 134 A.D.2d 1, 523 N.Y.S.2d 523 (2nd Dept. 1987) .

Love Island's Zara McDermott will be able to return to her Government job after she joined the show without telling her colleagues
Whitehall chiefs confirmed they are 'very keen to have the conversation' about the civil servant stunner's return
WHITEHALL chiefs have said Love Island star Zara McDermott is more than welcome to return to her job as a government aide after getting the boot from the ITV2 villa.
The civil servant stunner spoke of her love for her job on Monday prompting Department for Education bosses to say they were "very keen to have the conversation" about her coming back to work soon.
As The Sun revealed last month, the 21-year-old policy adviser had stunned colleagues by not telling them she was going on the hit show when applying for a year long "career break" from the Civil Service.
But the terms of her break means that she is entitled to return to a similar job if she wants after not breaking any strict Whitehall rules while in the villa despite her on her steamy on-screen romance with Adam Collard.
But on Monday Zara was forced to clarify claims she made on the show that she "makes the laws".
She insisted she was asked by telly producers to "dumb down" her explanation of her job so people would understand it.
Zara raised eyebrows on the show when asked if she was responsible for making laws.
She replied: "Yeah, in essence."
However on Monday, she told ITV's Loose Women: "It's difficult to explain what I do to anyone because no-one properly understands but I was trying to explain that people like me work in government and we create regulations and policy, and essentially laws in a sense, we write legislation and stuff.
"So I was trying to give a really dumbed-down version because a lot of people don't really understand fully what I do. It's quite complex."
Asked if she would return to her career, she said: "It is something I'm definitely open to in the future, I absolutely love my job.
"I work in education and I absolutely love it and the thought of helping people, especially children."
A senior Government source told The Sun: "If Zara wants to come back then people here will be very keen to have the conversation about how to make that happen soon."

When Jim and Laura Leffel talk about roots, the word has a double meaning -- family and business.
The couple and their two children have traveled around the world with the Air Force before landing as owners of Leffel Roots Apple Orchard south of Eau Claire.
Jim was raised on a Colby-area dairy farm while Laura was raised in the Twin Cities. They went to UW-Madison before both entered the Air Force -- he as an F-15 pilot and she as a civil engineer.
"I was transitioning out of the Air Force, and we knew we wanted to come back to Wisconsin," Jim said. "We came back for the people, the seasons, after having been everywhere."
"We came and looked at the orchard in the middle of November during a blizzard," Laura recalled. "Everything was white. We realized Jim was going to retire for sure and just kind of took a leap of faith because we really didn't even see the apple trees because they were covered with snow."
The Leffel family, which includes teenagers Otto and Anna, bought the former White Oak Farms Orchard at W2369 Maple Road, just off Highway B. Former owner Jim Mosel is helping the Leffels during the transition.
"He agreed to stay on a year to mentor Jim on how to do the trees and other phases of the business," Laura said. "That gave us a sense of security that we wouldn't just blindly be going into this."
The 40-acre property has 9 acres with about 2,000 apple trees -- Cortland and Honeycrisp -- with another 500 trees of five other varieties scheduled for planting next year.
"I love it. I really do," Jim said about the family's new venture. "There are long days, yes, and the uncertainly kind of stuff, but I love the manual labor and being outside.
"We moved quite a lot, and this will give us more stability," he added. "I traded in an airplane for a tractor. I miss the flying because after doing it for so long, the cockpit was my office and I knew how to do. But this lifestyle is better."
The couple have family members in the Athens and Siren areas but have grown in recent months to have a very fond impression of the Eau Claire area.
"For me, the people here are the nicest people we have ever come across anywhere that we have lived," Laura said. "Everyone is just super friendly."
That friendliness has been evident when the Leffels attend a farmers market or go to a store for supplies, advice and conversation.
"Everyone is so talkative here," Laura said. "When I go to grocery store I can talk to someone for an hour and not even know them."
The orchard is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. The store offers a variety of apple-related products, including apples with Packers and Wisconsin logos. Customers may also pick their own apples while an apple slingshot with target offers a bit of outdoor entertainment.
"We have bigger plans for next year," Jim said, referring to special activities and events. "We're getting through the learning process this year."
The Leffel Roots logo, a tree with roots displayed, has great meaning to the family and business.
The roots refer to the Midwest base; the 13 leaves represent the locations they've lived, including Germany and Japan; and the 21 leaves are for the years of marriage and years in the military.
"For me, the most surprising this has been all the details; all the small stuff going into it," Jim said. "I knew it would be hard work and long days during harvest. I just enjoy all this so much. It's great."

Gijsbert Hanekroot/Redferns
Five years after its opening, the much-lauded "David Bowie Is" exhibit is making its final stop at the Brooklyn Museum. Today, the museum announced the opening, which is slated to run from March 2 to July 15, 2018, giving fans plenty of time to make the trek for a very worthwhile show. "David Bowie Is," which debuted in London at the V&A, offers a rare glimpse into the life and artistic process of one of the most mysterious musical icons, with around 400 objects culled from Bowie's career.
Anyone with an Instagram account may be familiar with them as the exhibit was near-impossible to miss when it launched in 2013. It's rife with more than 60 custom costumes, from his Kansai Yamamoto-helmed Aladdin Sane era to the pieces Freddie Burretti designed during his Ziggy Stardust and 1980 Floor Show period. Outside of Bowie's iconic wardrobe, the exhibit also puts his music at the forefront with 85 handwritten lyric sheets for songs like "Fame" and "Fashion." It also contains some of Bowie's visual artwork, like his oil paintings of his peer and collaborator Iggy Pop and sketches like the one that became his Young Americans album cover. A multi-sensory experience, "David Bowie is" is also full of video clips from some of Bowie's less-viewed moments like on the Diamond Dogs tour and some of his key TV performances.
The exhibit feels perhaps all the more special given that Bowie passed away last year, on January 10, after releasing his ominous final album Blackstar, where he reflected on his own mortality. Though, Bowie did not have any involvement in organizing the show alongside V&A, which is something the exhibit curator Geoffrey Marsh has spoken about. "At one level, it's very liberating," he told Wired in 2014, "but you're also constantly thinking, 'Well, I wonder what David would think about that.' You have to shove that away. It's not an exhibition for him—it's for the people coming into it and what's going to engage them."
Tickets are currently on pre-sale here, starting at $35. For those who can't wait until next March to learn more about the legendary performer, take a look at some of the lesser seen photos from David Bowie's lifetime below.

Animal Health Services is equipped with fast hormone analysis!
Animal Health Services offers same-day progesterone results!
How? We have a VIDAS® diagnostic instrument that provides results on dogs' progesterone levels within a matter of hours, allowing us to determine quickly when a dog has reached the best time for insemination. The simple and precise testing system does not use syringes, tubing or needles, virtually eliminating the chance of contamination. Plus, the ready-to-use reagents and minimal required maintenance lower the cost of testing. We're one of the few veterinary facilities in the country with this instrument, and we're proud to give you access to such a convenient and state-of-the-art diagnostic tool.
Progesterone levels vary not only from bitch to bitch but even from cycle to cycle in an individual bitch. A dog that ovulates late in her first cycle will not necessarily do the same in successive cycles.
Frequently asked questions about progesterone testing at Animal Health Services:
What is progesterone and why would I test for it?
Progesterone is a hormone that helps prepare and maintain the uterus for pregnancy. It begins to rise during the estrus cycle and is a key indicator (along with the luteinizing hormone, or LH) of when ovulation occurs.
Why would I test my bitch's progesterone levels?
To determine when ovulation occurs and hence when it is the best time to breed.
How do you test for it?
It is a simple blood test. We use the in-house mini VIDAS® compact multiparametric immunoanalyzer. The mini VIDAS® is a compact automated immunoassay system based on the Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) principles.
When do I start testing my bitch's levels?
Typically five to six days after estrus discharge is noted. Occasionally, we will start testing earlier or later based on previous reproductive history.
Can I find out when my bitch will be in heat based on a progesterone test?
No. Progesterone levels don't begin to rise until she starts into heat. During anestrus (between heat cycles), there is no measurable progesterone.
What is the frequency of the testing?
Roughly every other day. We may go two days at the beginning if the first level is very low, and we may repeat daily, particularly when doing a surgical insemination with frozen semen, which requires more precise numbers.
How soon will I get results?
Results are available within 2 hours during regular business hours.
What is the target progesterone level for breeding/insemination?
It will vary depending on the type of breeding planned. For natural breeding with a local stud, once the level rises above 8 ng/ml, we recommend putting the dogs together. For chilled semen inseminations, we generally arrange the shipment once the progesterone has gone above 21 ng/ml, but we still want to confirm that the progesterone has risen above 15 ng/ml. For surgical inseminations with frozen semen, we plan the insemination after the progesterone has risen above 35 ng/ml.
Those numbers appear to be much higher than the results I get from IDEXX or ANTECH.
Different machines use different numbers and value charts.
Do different breeding methods or types of semen (chilled/frozen/fresh) require different progesterone levels?
Yes (see above). The less the sperm have been handled, the longer they live, so with a fresh insemination or natural breeding, there is a larger margin of time than with frozen semen.
How soon can I tell if my bitch is pregnant based on her progesterone level? Or can I?
The progesterone level will rise with ovulation and then remain high throughout the gestation period whether or not the bitch is pregnant and even if she is not bred. So no, you can't tell based on her progesterone level.
What is the target level my bitch needs to maintain to support pregnancy?
Typically, the progesterone level will rise to 10 ng/ml or higher after ovulation.
What effect does the progesterone level have on a caesarean section?
Progesterone levels can be used to time a C-section. A drop in the progesterone level will signify the commencement of labor within 24 hours. If the due date cannot be accurately determined, we can run daily progesterone tests to determine when that drop occurs in order to schedule the C-section at the optimum time.

Oregon Job Polarization, 2017 Update
As the economic expansion matures and the labor market tightens, it brings along with it the feel-good part of the business cycle. Wages and household incomes are rising while poverty rates are dropping. Employment has picked up in rural areas even as it slows in the large, urban centers that turned around first following the recession. Additionally, employment prospects are up for all levels of educational attainment. Now, in keeping with this pattern we're finally seeing good growth again among middle-wage jobs here in Oregon the past few years.

E27: Healing Trauma with Special Guest
Samantha Ibarguen
Today's episode is on healing trauma. As humans working on ourselves and the world, healing and learning go hand-in-hand. There is a strong tendency to think that we have not been traumatized. We tend to think that others have experienced trauma but we have not. Yet we ALL experience inner wounds. Many of which originated in childhood. It is here that the healing work is done.
I have long thought that the war veteran has experienced trauma but the child that was ignored or mocked or shamed for who he or she did not. I can now see that the assumption was incorrect. All of us have wounds. Even those of us who grew up inside healthy families with good adults can know our fair share of trauma.
My guest today is an expert at working with trauma.
Sam Ibarguen is an energy healer certified in Brennan Healing Science. Since 2009, she has been working with men and women globally, helping them heal the deep and often invisible trauma that holds them back from living the life they really want. She helps her clients transform from feeling stuck and purposeless to free and passionate. She's based out of the Bay Area and sees clients both in-person and long-distance.
Here is my interview with Sam Ibarguen.
Thank you, listeners!

You are currently browsing the daily archive for July 3, 2007.
My recent frustrations were brought to mind last week up in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains as I tried to light a fire after an afternoon full of rain, hail and lightning. Even the tinder was damp, and each time I patiently got a small flame going it would gradually smolder away. That's a bit how I feel about my job hunt right now. I've had a few promising leads, but nothing is bursting into flame.
Just as I was weighing compromises and opportunities and lamenting my limited choices, I received a call to interview at a library in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Apparently in a mad batch of applications last month I decided Sioux Falls was a compromise I was willing to make. Anyway, this offer made me really question my limits. The fact that they were not willing to reimburse travel expenses made my choice easier, but I still think it was at least slightly beyond the boundaries of the sacrifices I'm willing to make to get a job in the field. It taught me a lesson about more selective applying, even when I get frantic and want to apply to every job advertised.
As I've made pretty clear, patience is not my primary virtue. I am at the point of getting creative with my job search, chipping away and finding what lies beneath the surface. I trolled dozens of individual city government sites this weekend, because often job postings don't get any further than that. I'm also trying to come up with creative ways to keep living in Santa Fe if I don't get a job offer by August. I put up signs offering caretaking and petsitting services, and I've been checking out living possibilities on Craigslist. This is my way of being proactive during a time when everything feels completely out of my control. I do believe that risk and confidence are rewarded in the end. It's just a matter of where the end lands.

How to trade with indicators
Indicators are and should always be used in conjunction with real price movement and in our opinion, should never be used in isolation to take a trade. They can help you determine if the momentum of the market is with you or if its starting to slow down. Divergence (in its various forms) is a key indication of this but it can be misleading in a strong trend. Consequently, using an amalgam of indicators such as volume or OBV could assist more effectively.
A common trait amongst all types of trader is to exit trades too early, due to misreading (or misinterpreting); for example, using indicator which signal overbought or oversold status. In this instance, such dynamics are part and parcel of a trend; indicators can be at extremes for a long time with focus on the price action itself. Trading with indicators should be quantitative in nature and back testing is vital.
In this sections we will cover everything from MACD to RSI
How to trade with RSI
The Relative Strength Index (RSI), was developed by J. Welles Wilder, is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Traditionally the RSI is considered overbought when above 70 and oversold when below 30. But is that the only way to use it..... NO!!!!
How to trade with MACD
MACD, short for moving average convergence/divergence, is a trading indicator used in technical analysis of stock prices, created by Gerald Appel in the late 1970s. It is supposed to reveal changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a assets price

As I look at you, your deformed body
I feel myriad emotions
pity for a moment
a desire to help in another
a sudden realization
then enters me
you are more powerful
than I am
you have the power of the spirit
But yes, I can empower you
with the gift of love and to live with dignity.

I crossed the bridge.
Board by distant board I step by step reached the center and stopped.
The bridge swayed slightly as I bent to look over the edge.
It was all there in perfect clarity: the suspension cable, the water tracing over the rocks below, not a soul in sight.
The bridge crashed. I was falling, sliding through the expanse of air from bridge boards to the bedrock or repressed emotional memories. The familiarity was terrifying, yet the new found foreignness was comforting. The feelings were real, but the reality was gone. It was gone and it won't come back. Not like that. I could have fell down that was permanently, but you unknowingly saved me. And I have no way to thank you now that I've healed.
Nearly three years to the date I crossed the bridge.
I'm finally free.
