You should be aware of two things about me from your readings of this blog so far:
1. I'm broke;
2. I can and do make raised (yeasted) vegan donuts.
As such, I'm offering these bad boys up for sale by the dozen. $20 will get you a baker's dozen beautiful, raised, vegan donuts in either vanilla, chocolate, or maple glaze. My target market is the San Francisco Bay Area right now, but if you're from elsewhere and dying to give these a try, please send me an email (email@example.com), and we'll see what the USPS and I can do for you.
To order, email me at email@example.com. Coffee not included.
Just in case you didn't know, the last week of June has been official Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale week. The idea was to host vegan bake sales all over the globe, each one raising money for a local pro-animal cause. Here in San Francisco, we did two days worth of vegan bake sale-ing, and we raised $3,000 to be split between Animal Place and the East Bay Animal Advocates. Both organizations do great work for the animals, and we were all really stoked to be able to give them some cash!
While the activism and the camaraderie and the getting to meet new vegans you hadn't met before was awesome and all, the real high point of the event was the baked goods themselves (well, okay, the activism was just as good, but it's harder to photograph). Both days featured masses and masses of cupcakes, cookies, scones, exotic Swedish pastries, pies, loaves, donuts, and all manner of other amazingness, and both days sold out!
Not only was the sale a very successful fundraiser, but we also were able to really get the point across the vegan food does not equal healthy, boring rabbit food. It's amazing how far a good chocolate chip cookie can go in helping people to see veganism in a different light. With one bite, a person who had never seriously considered veganism can have their heart and mind opened, and that tiny seed of "maybe this isn't such a hard thing to do after all" can be planted. Not to get all sentimental, but it's pretty amazing what the simple act of baking something with pride and with care can do. I guess that's what got me thinking about what I was going to make for the sale myself: Donuts! Perfect – I was even able to decorate them to match up with the Pride theme (June 28, the second day of the bake sale was Gay Pride Day).
Like I've mentioned before, I'm pretty broke, and that means that I don'thave much money to spend on ingredients for baked goods that I'm not going to eat. I wanted to make something impressive that would draw people in and that people might not associate with vegan baking, but buying 3 tubs of Earth Balance was out of the question. I racked my brain and eventually settled on yeasted donuts. I've made them a couple of times before and have been working on perfecting my recipe, and I'm happy to say that on Day 2 of the bake sale (sorry Day 1), I think I finally got it! The donuts were cheap to make, totally bad for you (no vegan rabbit food here), and pretty tasty if I do say so myself. I made a couple dozen basic glazed, and then painted the tops using Wilton food colouring paste. The result was visually appealing and pleasing to the stomach. These bad boys required a couple hours' worth of work, but I like to think that they're a pretty good example of what you can do with good intentions, a bit of work, and not a lot of money.
Thanks to all who volunteered, baked, or bought at the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sales all over the globe, and hopefully we'll see you again next year!
I recently had my mom and little brother leave after a pretty epic visit, during which I more or less sucked my bank account dry. If I'm going to make my rent next month, I have to tighten my belt, but I refuse to survive on ramen and veggie dogs. I may only have $5 a day for the next little while, but I'm still going to cook… and bake! First up? Chard soba.
My favorite cheap and easy go-to standard is soba noodles with greens. You can use whatever kind of greens you feel like, but on this day, I used rainbow chard. I love chard, but right now, I love it even more because it's $1 for a big, leafy bunch of the organic stuff at my local farmer's market. If kale or collards or spinach are cheaper wherever you are right now, use those! You may have to adjust the cooking times slightly, but you're all big boys and girls and can totally handle it.
To make this dish, you'll need a package of soba noodles (or enough of a package to feed two people), some sesame oil, tamari (regular soy sauce or even Braggs works too, but it tastes better with tamari), red pepper flakes, white pepper, and (if you feel fancy) some toasted sesame seeds. If you have some ginger on hand and are feeling feisty, you can grate some of that in too, but it's good without it too.
First, wash off your greens and roughly chop them. Set the greens aside, and grab yourself a big pot of water. Bring it to a boil, and throw in your soba. Soba cook quickly (around 5 minutes, though I know my package says 3 – 5, which I think is a lie), so don't leave the room or anything. After 2 or 3 minutes of cooking, toss your greens into the pot (unless you're using spinach, then you only want it in the water for maybe 30 seconds), cover, and let cook for another 2 minutes or until both noodles and greens are tender. Strain everything and put back in the pot.
Now, I tend to not measure things very exactly, especially with dishes like this, so forgive me. Add to the noodles and greens in the pot about 1.5 tablespoons of sesame oil and 2 tablespoons of tamari. Shake on however many red pepper flakes you desire and some sesame seeds and some white pepper to taste. If you have grated ginger, now is the time to add it to the pot as well. Mix everything together well, dish up, and eat!
All told, this dish costs around $3-$5 to make, depending on what you've got on hand, and feeds two people (or one starving person).
Filed under: Eating out, Travel | Tags: Follow Your Heart, Native Foods, Pure Luck, Scoops, Vegan Los Angeles, Vegan Palm Springs
I don't know shit about film noir, but nevertheless, I accompanied my husband to his home town of Palm Springs this past weekend to take in some noir films and hang out with his family. I'd never been to the desert and didn't know what to expect, but I had a great time and ate some awesome food on the way.
Our first stop once we hit the road was L.A. Mike lived in Los Angeles for a couple of years before coming to his senses and moving back to San Francisco. For a number of reasons, I had kind of a grudge against L.A. and wasn't entirely stoked to be stopping there. Sure, I'd heard good things about some restaurants, but I'd always felt like it was a shallow, expensive, mean-spirited place. I am happy to report that I'm a total idiot and that I really liked what little I saw of L.A. on this trip. First up, Pure Luck.
Pure Luck is an all-vegan restaurant that serves lots of good beer, tacos, and some awesome-looking appetizers and salads. I'd heard nothing but good things about their jackfruit "carnitas" tacos, so I ordered one of those and a "fish" taco to go with it. I was worried about having to pee during the rest of our drive, so I abstained from beer and instead had a gigantic glass of house-made lemonade, which was a good call. The jackfruit definitely didn't disappoint- the jackfruit mixture was perfectly seasoned and with just enough of a kick to be tasty but not so much spice that the flavour of the jackfruit was overpowered. It was the fish taco that was the real winner, however. The "fish" was a kind of fishy patty, grilled up and served in two corn tortillas with shredded cabbage, salsa fresca, and a kind of sour cream-ish tartar-ish sauce. With my mouth full, I described it as perfect, and I will be actively plotting my return to L.A. if for no other reason than to eat another couple thousand fish tacos from Pure Luck.
Right across from Pure Luck is one of L.A.'s vegan-friendly ice cream parlours, Scoops.
Scoops, I hear, is the brainchild of owner and chief ice cream maker, Tai Kim. Scoops has gotten a bit of bad vegan press in the past for carrying foie gras ice cream (gross! Also, inexcusable, though I don't know if I necessarily think foie gras is worse than, oh, dairy or any other kind of meat, but I'll not ruin everyone's food boner with that), but they have since mended their ways. All their ice cream (vegan and non) is made in house and flavours are often produced based on customer requests (evidently, this is how the foie gras variety came about – I hear that when Kim was approached about it by vegan customers, he felt bad and stopped making it right away). I don' know what genius came up with the idea for banana oreo vegan ice cream, but whoever you are, I thank you! I don't normally go in for banana-flavoured anything, but this stuff was perfect. Creamy, banany, a bit crunchy from the oreo pieces, and generally awesome and a perfect treat.
From Scoops (oh, which is RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from Pure Luck – can we say synchronicity?), we hit the road to Palm Springs with full bellies and drank gin and tonics while watching The Garment Jungle, which I highly recommend.
The next day, we hit up Palm Springs' vegan mainstay, Native Foods. My husband, who's been vegan for almost 9 years and vegetarian for at least 11 before that, is a Native Foods devotee and was excited to take me there for the first time. We sat on the patio (which, amusingly, has fans! An outdoor patio with fans! Palm Springs is crazy!) and shared some Save The Chicken Fingers. These weren't what I was expecting. The "chicken" is Chef Tanya's (Native Foods' founder and chief chef) own creation and uses soy, gluten, and pea protein (incidentally, this stuff is also used by Gardein, the company that makes awesome fake chicken that isn't yet widely available in the US, though is used in some of the new Trader Joe's "chicken" products…). They weren't spicy but instead were hot, battered oblongs of pure deliciousness served with ranch sauce. On the recommendation of Mike, I ordered the Baja Surf Tacos for lunch and was not disappointed. Two tacos stuffed full with shredded cabbage, salsa, "surfer sauce," and battered, house-made tempeh with a generous dollop of bright green, perfect guacamole on top. I inhaled my first one and then was too full for my second, which I saved and shoved in my face later. My only beef with NF was that they aren't open on Sundays, so I'm going to have to wait until my next visit to the desert (months!) for another helping.
After taking in Desert Fury and Riff Raff (both recommended, though Desert Fury was my favorite), we disappointedly hit up Del Taco for a couple of gross/good green burritos with no cheese (Mike lived on these as a teenager and young dude) and hit the sack because Palm Springs is HOT and TIRING.
After saying our goodbyes the next day, we drove back to L.A. and hit up Follow Your Heart. FYH, many vegans are aware, are makers of vegan cheeses and other dairy-replacement products. What you may not be aware of is that they also operate a natural foods market (stuffed full of, among other things, FYH products that aren't widely available anywhere else) and a cafe. Mike had a reuben and grabbed a pre-made club sandwich to go, and I had the "chicken" sandwich. I normally hate sauerkraut and haven't had thousand island dressing since I was a kid (and hated it then!), but the reuben was awesome. I mean, it was super gross because it was full of sauerkraut and thousand island, but in a really delicious way. My sandwich was full of fake chicken, grilled onions, tomato, lettuce, fake cheese, and thousand island (my new favorite sandwich dressing). We also grabbed a small container of the smoky "chicken" pasta salad, which contained about 8,000 calories according to the container, but was tasty and awesome.
All in all, the trip was a delicious success, and I can't wait to get back to SoCal for some more food!

From evening gown to dress-up clothes
I recently discovered Trash to Couture and thought I'd try my hand at refashioning the dress into something for Zari. I liked her 80's beaded blouse to Parisian cocktail dress.
I wanted to preserve as much of the original neckline, beading, and zippers as possible. The beadwork was a pain to work with. We now have thousands of beads littering our attic floor.
Here's the final result:

That came out fantastic! Will have to remember this when I come across dresses in the thrift stores.ReplyDelete
SHE LOOKS SO GROWN UP!!! The dress turned out wonderfully! And when Zari grows out of it it will be Ingas turn.ReplyDelete
That turned out so cute!ReplyDelete

I like it.ReplyDelete

Oh, I like the idea. I think I could start going to second hand shop to find beautiful old fashion dresses. Thanks for this idea.ReplyDelete

Sewing over beads is terrible for your sewing machine, too, and can knock the machine out of timing, so I don't blame you for avoiding them at all! LOL! Beaded gowns used to be only for the ultra rich, because each bead has to be sewn on by hand. The free trade agreements, and low wages in India, China, & other mostly third world countries, are the only reason Americans can buy beaded clothing cheaply, & toss it out or give it to thrift stores so easily. I love how beading looks, but hate wearing it, because it is easy to snag the fabric of anything it brushes against, and is incredibly uncomfortable on the skin. I have to admit though, it is GORGEOUS to look at, and I think both you & your daughter look beautiful in the gown! I suspect your daughter will gain far more enjoyment from the sparkly gown, while we grownups would have felt way overdressed wearing it to church, the main place we wear pretty dresses! I very much admire your bravery in recutting the dress, you did a fantastic job, & I'm sure your daughters will enjoy it for years to come!ReplyDelete

The Music City Bowl has the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Tennessee Volunteers going up against each other. Both teams have some intriguing prospects that should make the bowl game very competitive. These are the prospects to watch in the Music City Bowl:
Nebraska Cornhuskers
Nathan Gerry, S
Projected Draft Range: Fifth round-seventh round
Gerry has great size at six feet two inches tall and 220 pounds. He has seven tackles for loss and does a great job in ball support. His coverage skills are great with four interceptions and eight passes defended on the season. With good size, run support and coverage, Gerry can improve his draft stock by displaying speed. He will have a good chance to improve his status in the minds of scouts by helping to shut down Tennessee running back Alvin Kamara.
Tennessee Volunteers
Derek Barnett, DE
Projected Draft Range: First round
Barnett is one of many great defensive ends in a deep draft class at the position. He is a great pass rusher with 12 sacks on the season. Barnett is solid in run support with 18 tackles for loss. He might be the best at swatting passes down at the offensive line in the class. He doesn't have elite size at six feet three inches tall, but it will do. His production more than makes up for it.
Cameron Sutton, CB
Projected Draft Range: First round-third round
Sutton is a shut down corner back for the Volunteers. He needs to work on his ball skills with only one interception this year and one last season. Sutton also doesn't help stop the run that well. At five feet eleven inches tall, Sutton has ok size. He may fit in more as a slot corner in the NFL. This is a deep corner class, so Sutton may have to wait to hear his name called at the 2017 NFL Draft.

We spoke with Antoine Carriere, expert business coach and trainer, to learn the best ways to manage and prepare for succession planning. Antoine shared the types of questions that should be asked, the process of determining reasonable expectations, and also the one part of succession planning that is always forgotten.
Solink: What kind of questions should be asked when starting a succession plan?
Antoine: Succession planning opens the doors to a lot of situations and scenarios that a parent may not have ever thought about before. Many people craft their initial business plan without thinking of how they would eventually exit the business, but it's important to start coming up with a fool-proof plan as early as possible.
If you happen to have a family member who is interested in taking over the business, you may feel like it's the easier option, but there are just as many–if not more–potential problems that arise in this scenario. There are many important questions to ask yourself, and the person taking over, as you begin to enter the succession planning process. Such as:
- What exactly do you intend to hand off? Will you be leaving the business entirely, or will you just be stepping back from day-to-day operations? Will you remain a board member or an adviser to the new owner, or will you completely relinquish your control?
- Why are they taking over the business? Are they acting out of a sense of obligation, or are they genuinely excited to take over the business? Do they have ideas and plans for the future of the business, or are they going to be keeping it the way it is to continue their parent's legacy?
- What are the expectations of each person involved? How much involvement does the new owner want from their child once the business is transferred and vice versa? Do they want to share details of the business, or will it be kept separate from their personal relationship? Does the parent support the changes that the child has in mind?
All of these things must be considered long before the legal documentation begins. Without a solid agreement between the parent and the child, there is a potential to destroy a formally positive relationship.
S: What is the best way to manage an ownership change for your employees and customers?
A: With both employees and customers, the most important factors are communication and confidence with both the original and incoming owner.
With your employees, the current owner must communicate clearly, letting everyone know the intended timeline, planned process, and which responsibilities their child will be taking on in the business. Often, a child will join the business before their parent is retired to "learn the ropes," and in this time it's very important that the parent encourages the child and supports their choices.
If the child is doing something that the parent disagrees with, it's important to discuss this behind closed doors; don't overrule the child in front of other employees, otherwise, it appears as though there is a lack of trust.
The customers should also be given a heads up before the change in ownership. Introducing the child to some of the star customers is a good start, as it gives them a chance to build their confidence and start to understand the customer's opinions. Transfer relationships slowly, starting with joint meetings, and allow the child more control over time until the customer is comfortable with them. This will keep the customers happy and prevent the child from getting overwhelmed in maintaining all these new relationships.
S: What do people forget to consider when they start succession planning?
A: People know that they need to contact their lawyers and accountants when they begin their succession plan, but what they always forget to consider is that this process is going to have a huge emotional impact. Owning and operating a business for several years establishes a connection that is hard to put into words. It's more difficult to let go than a lot of people anticipate; they often believe they are ready for a break, but in reality, watching someone else take control is very difficult.
There are many questions that a person should consider as they start the succession planning process. Start by thinking about how you started your business, or even when you realized you were successful. Ask yourself how you want to be remembered by your customers and employees, and what product was your "signature". Most importantly, ask yourself if you're prepared to move on from the business and watch someone else take over. Even if it is your child stepping in, it can still be challenging to watch them change all of the things you worked so hard to establish.
There can also be an emotional toll on the child as well. Chances are, they watched their parent pour their heart and soul into this business for several years, and it can feel like a lot of pressure to step into those shoes. It's important to begin discussions early and consider the pros and cons of all of the potential options. It's a big choice, and it should be treated as such.

And I am not making this up. For my 154th post is the dynamic duo of Wicked Wagons by who else but Johnny Lightning.
So wait, these are panel/delivery van and not the typical American station wagon. That's right. They are not the family wagon but these 2 came under JL's Wicked Wagons theme.
Let's check them out.
Here is the '65 Volkswagen Delivery Van release 3. This comes with dual tone matte and gloss black. My first impression is the flames remind me of Hot Wheels and the color reminds me of the 'Black Bandit' series.
Here is the '50 Chevy Panel Van release 1. This kind of remind me of an old vintage hearse and with the 'Wicked Wagon' name printed on it, you would not want to meet this in the middle of the night. I think I see a movie in the making and I would call it 'Chris' as the black Chevy would be a great partner with the red Plymouth 'Christine'. Wickedly fun.
And with an opening hood, the Chevy has better play value.
And here they are in their packaging. I'm speculating that they began this series when the 'Black Bandit' license is no longer own by JL.

This hearty bowl of beef stew is loaded with chunks of fatty beef brisket and silky noodles encompassed in a thick savoury soup. I like how the broth is not too starchy, and it combines really well with the other ingredients. The flavour of the broth is accentuated with the spices and leaves which they used in the broth-cooking process.
The side of meatballs and Vietnamese rolls were really appetising and opened up our palette. The meatballs were well-marinated and peppery, and had the right chewy texture. We throughly enjoyed munching on them ☺ The fried rolls were very crispy and flavourful as well.
However, the fresh roll and chicken pho were rather bland and we felt that NamNam's might be better 🤔
Overall, the experience is pretty authentic and I love their warm hospitality. Would definitely be back again for my beef stew pho and porkballs 😍

Fiber laser technology has grown in popularity over the past several years. This technology is now being used to cut all types of metals. A fiber laser cutting machine might be the best technology for your business if you are looking for efficiency and precision in cutting. Fiber lasers excel at not only steel but aluminum, brass, copper and stainless steel as well.
With fiber laser technology shorter wavelengths are created in comparison to CO2 lasers. The shorter wavelength is more readily absorbed into the metal which provides you with better efficiency when cutting. With this technology fiber lasers are generated in a fiber and created by pumping diodes through the fiber to produce light. These machines also require less maintenance than CO2 lasers.
At Moore Machine Tools we have several fiber laser cutting machines to choose from. We sell the Nukon brand, which is a high quality product that offers both efficiency and accuracy when it comes to cutting. You will find that this machine helps improve your business flow.
If you are concerned about the fiber laser cutting machine price, we will work with you to ensure that you find the right machine that works best with your budget. Simply ask us about our financing options or about how you can save up to 40% when you purchase the fiber laser cutting machine or other new or used machines.
Owner Matt Moore has extensive experience in this industry and his goal is to provide you with exceptional service. He will work with you to find the machines that best meets your needs and has the features that you are looking for. He can also help answer any questions you might have.
When it comes to your fiber laser cutting machine, don't let the price worry you. When choosing a machine from Moore Machine Tools you will find that it is a great return on your investment. Have a question? Just ask us! To learn more about our products and our business, visit our website at https://mooremt.com today or call 424-355-9040 for a free quote.

Hunt Real Estate Capital announced today that it has provided a Fannie Mae Small Loan in the amount of $2.3 million to finance the acquisition of a multifamily property located in Atlanta, Georgia.
Overlook Terrace is a condominium community whereby the borrower acquired 34 of the 35 townhome-style units.
"Despite being condominiums, the property has always been operated as an apartment community since it was built in 1990," noted James Kelly, Director at Hunt Real Estate Capital.
The property is comprised entirely of three-bedroom units. All units qualify as affordable at 80% of AMI. The loan is a 10-year Hybrid ARM with a 30-year term that features a step-down prepayment structure.
"The sponsor is Steve Morrows of DeVanDylan Capital Partners LLC, a seasoned multifamily investor that is a repeat Fannie Mae client," added Kelly. "His firm is primarily focused on acquiring and managing undervalued multifamily assets in strategic growth markets to reposition them to provide quality housing options for local residents."
"The plan is to escrow $200,000 for planned interior and exterior renovations that include façade repairs, restriping the parking lot/concrete, various landscaping improvements, and adding property signage," said Steve Morrows, President at DeVanDylan Capital Partners LLC. "Interior renovations will consist of replacing countertops, the installation of new kitchen and bathroom appliances/finishes, and replacing unit flooring."
Overlook Terrace is located in the Clayton/Henry submarket, which is approximately 13 miles south of downtown Atlanta.
"The submarket has shown strong rent growth alongside the rest of the Atlanta Metro area," Kelly added.

Dartmouth Energy Retrofits of Existing Lab Buildings - Cost Justification and Implementation Challenges: Dartmouth College Burke Hall Energy Renovation
David Madigan, van Zelm Heywood & Shadford, Inc.
Bo Petersson, Cornerstone Commissioning, Inc.
There are many millions of square feet of inefficient laboratory facilities in need of energy efficiency improvements. The main challenges is developing such projects have to do with making the economic justification and overcoming the hurdle of implementing the system upgrades within an occupied and functional facility. If properly analyzed, planned and implemented, such projects can represent a win-win solution providing benefits in terms of reduced operating cost/energy use /carbon emissions, capital renewal benefits, improved safety for researchers, reduced maintenance, increased reliability, reduced loads on campus utility systems, and improved environmental conditions. To justify deep energy efforts, all of these benefits must be recognized and quantified in an objective manner. When this is done, projects which are marginal based on energy cost savings alone become far more attractive and economically viable. The challenge then becomes implementing the work with a minimum distribution to ongoing research activities. This requires careful planning within both the design and construction phases along with an ongoing, dynamic commissioning process throughout construction and project close-out.
Burke Hall, Dartmouth's main chemistry facility, is an 80,000 sf building that was considered state of art when it was completed in 1989. However, with over 140 individual exhaust fans, no heat recovery system, 180,000 cfm of exhaust capacity & two steam absorption chillers, it was Dartmouth's most energy intensive building with an EUI of nearly 500 KBtu/sf. There were also numerous problems with the building HVAC equipment at laboratory airflow controls that needed to be addressed. After much planning and analysis the project scope was approved to include the following:
- Replacement of the 140 individual exhaust fans with a consolidated lab exhaust system and high efficiency Glycol run-around heat recovery system
- Replacement of two 550 ton system absolution chillers with two 850 ton electric chillers and interconnection with the campus chilled water system
- Replacement and upgrade of lab airflow controls and building automation systems
- Rebalancing or all airflows and commissioning of all equipment and controls
The work was implemented while the building was fully function and through careful planning and teamwork, had a minimal impact on laboratory operations. Energy use has been reduced by over 40%, while lab safety has been improved. Important lessons were learned about how to effectively implement such a project and these will be shared as part of the presentation.
Learning Objectives
- Develop an understanding of the wide ranging benefits that can be obtained from a deep energy retrofit of a lab building.
- Identify key target areas for cost effective energy use reduction in existing buildings.
- Determine how to objectively quantify the non-energy related benefits of a deep energy retrofit to aid in project initiation/approval.
- Understand the construction and commissioning challenges of implementing projects of this type in a fully occupied and functional building.

Sometimes a technology change sparks a major shift in how a specific type of application software is built; the cloud does that for shipping software. For the last few decades, most shipping or transportation management software has worked much the same way: importing/exporting order data from ERP systems, calculating shipment cost with rate sheet data, capturing tracking numbers, and printing labels and paperwork. The offline/on-premise formula for shipping software worked fine in the past but in a world running on ubiquitous connectivity and managed cloud platforms, it's no longer enough. Cloud shipping is the next step in business software.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate a semiautomated segmentation tool designated for the volume measurements of teeth root; this method is based on three-dimensional and focused to follow-up the root's volume when an orthodontic treatment occurred.
Materials and methods: In order to evaluate a semiautomated segmentation tool, a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was selected with 20 intact teeth (10 maxillary and 10 mandibular teeth), CBCT images were imported into the ImageJ software, and the root volumes were measured using two methods (the semiautomated segmentation and the manual segmentation). Both segmentations are carried out by two experts; the manual segmentation served as a reference method and considered as the "gold standard". The data were analyzed using the Bland–Altman analysis to compare the agreement between methods, and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the interobserver reliability.
Results: The Bland–Altman analysis revealed the agreement between measurements on semiautomated segmentation and manual segmentation, with a mean bias of –2.09 mm3 and the 95% limits of agreement of –11.38 to 7.21 mm3. The ICC was 0.999 for semiautomated segmentation method and 0.999 for manual segmentation method.
Conclusion: The use of stereology employing the ImageJ software and CBCT images provide an accurate and reliable semiautomated segmentation, leading to an approach of volume quantitative analysis to evaluate and follow-up the root's volume when orthodontic treatment occurred. Further clinical studies are necessary to explore this method.
Keywords: three-dimensional imaging, segmentation, accuracy, orthodontic treatment, ImageJ software, root resorption

Cable to digital controls
Cable to digital controls
Just had a new tower and second station installed in Sportsman 247 with Yamaha 250. Has older cable controls and used a sea star mechanism to link the throttle from upper to the lower. Not sure what or how but its a mechanical system inside the console. The throttle is extremely stiff and Im being to,d thats the best its going to get due to the cable linkage. Its totally unacceptable to me. Anyone have experience with this system and if so can it be better? Also both key switches have to be in the on position for the boat to start, is that correct? Last thing, what type of cost could be expected to swap both to digital controls if the cable mechanism cannot be improved? Thanks for the help. I can get more specifics tomorrow
Admirals Club
did you use the highest cables from sea star? think it is the cx series. They highly recommend them. I am going through this now and trying to figure out if digital is the way to go.

Lawrence, Boston Mayors Address Trump's Comments (About Drug Trafficking, Immigrants)
President Trump said that Lawrence, Massachusetts, and Boston are sanctuary cities that harbor drug traffickers responsible for a fentanyl epidemic in southern New Hampshire. City leaders say he is criminalizing immigrant communities.
Yesterday when President Donald Trump went live on national television to again address the nation about the opioid crisis from Manchester, New Hampshire, he not only proposed the death penalty for certain drug trafficking crimes, he connected sanctuary cities as places that harbor drug traffickers.
Trump's comments came after he praised Federal, local and state law enforcement for Operation Granite Shield, "an 18-hour enforcement action targeting drug traffickers that resulted in the arrest of 151 people," and explained why he is pushing the death penalty: Trump said if the United States isn't going to get tough on "drug dealers who kill thousands of people and destroy so many people's lives, we are just doing the wrong thing."
He specifically called out Lawrence, Massachusetts, as the main source of opioid drugs coming into several badly affected counties in Southern New Hampshire, and also accused Boston of harboring the problem as well, according to the Boston Globe transcript:
According to a recent Dartmouth study, the sanctuary city of Lawrence, Massachusetts, is one of the primary sources of Fentanyl in six New Hampshire counties. ICE recently arrested 15 MS-13 gang members -- these are not good people, folks. Okay?...These are bad people -- in Boston, Massachusetts, which is a place where you have sanctuary cities," and then he repeated his call for the Federal government to block Federal funding to them.
Mayor Dan Rivera, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and Lawrence Police Chief Roy Vasque responded with statements, according to WCVB
Vasque said the city of Lawrence is making a historic number of arrests, and works with all local, state and Federal law enforcement agencies on narcotics enforcement.
According to the televised WCVB report, crime in Lawrence is down 35 percent this year.
Rivera invited the President to come to Lawrence and see for himself what the city needs, calling out a lack of current Federal funding for treatment.
In October 2017, President Trump announced a national public health emergency for the opioid epidemic, but did not provide any additional funding. However, while in Manchester, Trump mentioned $6 billion was coming in 2018 and 2019.
Rivera said Trump was making the face of the problem "some boogie man that came across the border," and was creating divisiveness.
Walsh said Trump "criminalized both our immigrant community and those suffering from substance abuse."

Support & SLA
- Free billing and subscription management support are included.
- We guarantee that Cognitive Services running in the standard tier will be available at least 99.9 percent of the time. No SLA is provided for the free trial. Read the SLA.
Below table provides a list of available end-points for each API. The response for the same end-point of Bing Web Search API may vary depending on the Tier purchased. Refer to the next question for details.
Included APIs Endpoints Available in Tiers Bing Web Search https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/search S1-S8 Bing Image Search https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/images/search S1, S3, S7, S8 Bing News Search https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/news/search S1, S5, S8 Bing Video Search https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/videos/search S1, S4, S7, S8 https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/entities S1, S6 Bing Autosuggest https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/Suggestions S1, S2 Bing Spell Check https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/spellcheck S1, S2 Bing Visual Search https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/images/visualsearch S9
No, the Bing Web Search API is curtailed to meet specific offering of each Tier. For example, Tier S3 is meant for customers wanting to utilise only web search results and images in their applications. The customers also have an option of calling just a specific end point within a tier and their transactions will count against the overall bundle transactions (for example in Tier S3 a customer can just call Image API end point and make 400 transactions and can call Web Search API end point for 600 transactions and the total will be counted as 1,000 transactions).
No, both the APIs could potentially return different results even if you are only looking for images. For example, for a certain type of query, Bing Web Search API may return a combination of web results, videos, news but may not return images. However, for the same query, Bing Image Search API may return images.
Tiers are priced based on the number of transactions. As an example, for Tier S3, price per 1,000 transactions is $4. At the end of billing period if 12,000 transactions are logged for the Bing Web Search API and 1,000 transactions are logged for the Bing Image Search API, then you will have billed for $52 calculated as $4*(13,000/1000).
Bing Spell Check and Bing Autosuggest APIs are billed at 25,000 transactions increment in Tier S1. Whereas, other APIs are billed at 1,000 transactions increment in Tier S1.
For example, if you are subscribed to Tier S1 and at the end of the billing period 15,000 transactions are logged for the Bing Web Search API, 3,000 transactions logged for Bing Video Search API and 25,000 for Bing Autosuggest API. In this case, the approximate bill would be $133 calculated by $7*((15,000+3,000)/1,000) + $7*(25,000/25,000).
Note: For billing, only the end-point is considered and not the requested response. For example, calling the Bing Web Search API only for image response will be counted towards the Bing Web Search API and not towards the Bing Image Search API.
Bing Statistics is an add-in that you can purchase from Azure Portal along with one of the S1 to S9 Tiers of Bing APIs. This add-in is charged at $1 per 1 unit of subscribed Tier. For example, if you subscribe to S1 Tier with the Bing Statistics Add-in and make 2,000 calls to the Bing Web Search API and 25,000 calls to Bing Spell Check, you will be charged $24 for 3 units - 2 for Bing Web Search API and 1 for Bing Spell Check - including $1 extra on top of $7 price of the Bing S1 bundle.
Bing Statistics Add-in is only available with the Bing APIs' Tiers S1 to S9. It is not available for the standalone API offerings. However, Bing Statistics does provide metrics for all the endpoints included in various Tiers. It is also not available for any other APIs on Cognitive Services apart from the Bing APIs (through S1 to S9 Tiers).

The AMP Financial Planners Association (ampfpa) has told its members that it is not in a position to provide legal or commercial advice on members' individual circumstances and that they will need to obtain their own independent legal and commercial advice.
The ampfpa has made its position clear in the same letter which asks member advisers to signal their willingness to be part of a class action against AMP.
The ampfpa's position has been made clear at the same time as advisers have informed Money Management of approaches made by senior executives of AMP Limited aimed at dealing with the individual circumstances of affected advisers and their practices.
The ampfpa's letter to members signals that the organisation is not a position to deal directly with those individual cases.
"We appreciate that members will have many questions, including as to how they should respond to approaches from AMP," the letter said. "Whilst ampfpa is keen to assist members, we are unfortunately not in a position to provide legal or commercial advice on members' individual circumstances and you should obtain independent legal and commercial advice as required."
"However, ampfpa welcomes your feedback, and if we are in a position to do so we will endeavour to provide our views on particular frequently asked questions that emerge from such feedback."
Elsewhere in the letter, the ampfpa said that it was aware that members were "being approached by AMP with various options, and some options may operate such that members give up their rights to pursue AMP in respect of their BOLR rights, including in a potential class action".
"As noted above, you should obtain independent legal advice and carefully consider your legal and commercial position before agreeing to give up the rights you may have in respect of potential claims against AMP."

Scott Highton, VR pioneer, gave a talk recently on photographing panoramas. If you are at all interested in VR photography this video gives a nice introduction to the subject. Scott worked at Apple whey QuickTime VR was first introduced. In this video Scott discusses the technical aspects of shooting and stitching cylindrical and spherical/cubic panoramas.
[...] Go to Video… [...]
Scott's a great guy and full of knowledge about virtual tours! I am glad you found him. He didn't work at Apple but he was one of the first to shoot a virtual tour for Apple when we were starting this technology way back in 1992 I think it was! My how time flies!
At that time we had no idea what to do with virtual tours. There was no Web to speak of. So Microsoft used our technology on their Encarta and Bookshelf CDs. That was the main market for virtual tours. Finally, I think as of about 2004 or so there has been a huge increase in demand for them in the hospitality industry as well as real estate. If done right they can be very impact-full. If not done right they can really annoy people!
Anyway, I am rambling now... Sorry! 😉

ThanksGiving, ThanksLiving
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
– 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV)
Many times, we feel we are at a loss as regards the will of God. What does God really want me to do? Well, this scripture is direct regarding this.
We should never ever get so goal driven that we become ungrateful or unthankful. Infact, in everything give thanks.
The Bible instructs us to package our petitions, supplications, requests, prayers with gratefulness and thanksgiving. This means that the acceptable way to pray is to do so thankfully in full assurance that Big Daddy is listening.
There is a traditional Yoruba song that says;
"Opel'onje re, Ki Je eba, ki je ikokore, Ope l'onje re" (translated -Thanks is God's food, He doesn't eat food like humans, Praise is His food").
God, our creator, and Savior deserve a heart of worship and thanksgiving. Some have gone further to call it Thanks-Living.
God has done all that needs to be done. It is left for us to discover and recover.
He is surely bringing you into the broad place of overflow and full restoration. It is all yours on discovery,
Whatever you are grateful for grows. You think you don't have enough, be grateful for what you have. You feel like you have so much, be thankful for all you have.
Give a special offering, sing a new song, offer him the fruit of your lips. Tell of His many kindnesses.
We serve a great, gracious and mighty God. Give Him thanks all day, every day.
Dear God, you made sky and soil, sea and all the fish in it.
You always do what you say— You defend the wronged, and feeds the hungry.
God frees prisoners— he gives sight to the blind,
he lifts up the fallen.
God loves good people, protects strangers,
takes the side of orphans and widows,
but makes short work of the wicked.
God's in charge—always.
My God is God for good!
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord.
In Jesus Name. Amen

If you want to improve the sound quality of your TV but don't want bulky speakers dominating your lounge, a soundbar might be the best option.
Unlike speaker systems, they usually don't require separate units to be positioned around the room, reducing the number of cables snaking around the floor and minimising trip hazards as a result.
But which soundbar is right for you? We've broken them down by type so you can find your ideal soundbar based on your viewing and listening needs.
If space is limited
Soundbars are already great space-savers, but some are more compact than others. This could be a vital consideration if space is at a premium.
The Sonos Beam is a small soundbar with big sound. At 65cm (26 inches) wide, it'll fit perfectly under a smaller TV, and it packs a surprising amount of bass considering its petite size. The LG SK1 is slightly wider, but only slightly, and it has three enhanced sound modes to suit whatever you're watching.
For those on a budget
Cramming a lot of sound technology into a product small enough to fit under the telly is no mean feat. But that doesn't mean soundbars have to be expensive. Sure, you can spend hundreds on them (and you'll notice the improvement in sound quality), but most won't demand a big outlay.
One of the best value soundbars available is the JVC TH-W513B. Shop around, and you can find it for just £60.
Happy to spend a little more? The LG SK1 mentioned above can be had for under £100, as can the JBL Bar Studio. The lattter boasts plenty of features like Bluetooth so you can wirelessly play music from your phone on it. It sounds very good too - proof that you don't need to spend £1,000+ on a TV sound system.
Do you want a built-in smart assistant?
Some soundbars come with smart assistants built in. These are the likes of Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant, and let you do a range of things just by speaking, from setting timers and reminders to looking up trivia and reading the news and weather reports. Of course they can change channels for you, find your favourite TV show and switch between audio modes, all on your say-so.
The Sonos Beam mentioned above offers Amazon's Alexa personal assistant, and will soon add Google Assistant too.
The Samsung Sound+ HW-MS550 is a little cheaper than the Sonos, and comes with Amazon's Alexa personal assistant built in. But the Netgem SoundBox might be the best bargain in this category. It costs just £149 and has Alexa onboard, but despite its low price it has surprisingly decent sound.
Is multiroom a must-have?
Multiroom means sending the sound wirelessly throughout your house to other speakers in other rooms. It's not that useful when you're watching TV - unless you want everyone else in the house to know what's on - but it is if you're playing music.
Sonos is the current king of multiroom - its systems are simple to set up and sound fantastic. Its Beam soundbar mentioned above offers multiroom, but if you want to take a step up, check out the Sonos Playbar. It's bigger than the Beam, more powerful and - sadly - more expensive, clocking in at around £600.
Thankfully the Sony HT-XT2 is a bit cheaper, and can still connect to other speakers around the house. But it's technically a soundbase rather than soundbar - that just means it's designed to have the TV stand on top of it.
If money is no object
Of course the more you spend, the better sound quality you'll get. If you are shopping around at the top end of the market, you're spoiled for choice.
The Dali Kubik One is an £800 beast that comes with a bright paint job. It's not exactly subtle, but that's not what you're paying for - you're paying for bold, brash sound and a design statement for your lounge. For something a little sleeker, there's the B&O Beosound 35, which has touchscreen controls on the front. And for over a grand, it certainly should do.

Guaranteed Seats in Public Buses
Going to Putrajaya, the Federal Administrative Capital which houses majority of the government agencies, is quite smooth nowadays.
You can get there by cars, bikes, bicycles (if safe), public buses, taxis and also the high speed ERL train.
The public buses serving Putrajaya area is currently operated by Nadi Putra, owned by Pengangkutan Awam Putrajaya Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Putrajaya Corporation, of which is a government agency under the Ministry of Federal Territories.
Just back in June 2008 after the ridiculous petrol price hike, Putrajaya Corporation was of the view that many people would be opting for public transportation to cut down cost of living.
They estimated that 9,300 passengers are hopping into their buses daily and believed that it would grow tremendously. At that point of time, there were 55 buses already. With 9,300 passengers and 55 buses plying the routes, the ratio is 169 passengers per bus per day. A bus could fit in 40 passengers and that works out to be 4 bus loads of people per day. You are definitely guaranteed a seat in a public bus for sure.
That was in June 2008. Six months down the road in December 2008, there are 70 buses now and say there was an increase of 10% bus passengers which works out to 10,230 passengers daily.
With 10,230 passengers and 70 buses plying the routes, the ratio is 146 passengers per bus per day. That is less than 4 bus loads of people per day. Some passengers could even lie down and sleep.
But the Ministry of Federal Territories thinks that you are not comfortable enough and they are very thoughtful of you.
They think that the ratio of passenger per bus should be even much lower. In order to achieve a much lower ratio, they have decided to purchase another 104 buses at a cost of RM70 million (RM673,076 per bus) over the next two years. 70 buses plus 104 buses = 174 buses.
Say another increase of 10% bus passengers which will have 11,253 passengers daily. With 174 buses plying the routes, the ratio will be down to 65 passengers per bus per day. You only require 1.5 buses to fit the 65 passengers per day.
Even though Nadi Putra is making a loss of RM1 million per annum, the passengers' comfort is their highest concern of all. Well done! This is what I call priority customer service. You won't find it anywhere in the world.

Broadband provider, Virgin Media, is holding trials of a 200mb service, almost doubling the current highest fibre connection available. A select group of residents in Kent will be the first to get their computers hooked up to the high speed connection, which is being run on Virgin's new DOCSIS3 network.
The brand new scheme to trial the service is set to run for six months initially, allowing the company to closely monitor the internet habits and behaviour of those involved. Virgin Media will use the information gathered from the exercise to decide how best to provide such a service in the future, and to look at whether it's actually commercially viable. Although the current trial is aimed at consumers only, the company haven't ruled out offering it as a premium business service at some point.
Despite the exciting development, the company did admit that the majority of UK residents would not be able to enjoy the service as their current software would not be compatible with such high speeds.
Neil Berkett, Chief Executive of Virgin Media, described the move as 'a journey of discovery' and the ideal vehicle for providing insight into the actual everyday usage of such a high speed service.
"With the only true next-generation network in the UK, we are at the forefront of innovation and understanding when it comes to ultra fast broadband services" He said.

AFTER PARTYING the afternoon away, in the reserved, conversational way appropriate to octogenarians, with delicious hotel canapés and a glass of beer, and saying goodbye to the last of the score of Apeldoorners who turned out to honor our friends and their sixty-year marriage, Hans announced to the remaining family that it was time for stamppot.
The Wikipedia article linked here tells you more about the meal than I care to tap out on my phone just now. This was what you might call a Groot Stamppot, a grand one, with roast beef, ham, worst, and both hutspot and a more austere (but still very rich and unctuous) potatos-only purée. Oh, and boerenkool, which involves chopped kale and potatoes cooked up in lots of butter.
You take only one stamppot, the economist son at my elbow counseled. Of course I greedily ignored his advice, and helped myself to some of everything.
His wife, sitting at my right, was politely amused. She'd taken none at all, opting instead for a salad. It's so rich, she said.
She was right. The dinner was delicious, but I miss my Fernet…

Educators Welcome and Introduction
Educators Welcome and Introduction
Dear Educators,
We would like to introduce you to the first in a series of instructional suggestions from Not Extinct: Keeping the Sinixt Way. Funding for the project was generously provided by Marilyn Burgoon in memory of her sister Yvonne Woods, by the Slocan Valley Legacy Fund and by Lori Barkley.
Honouring the oral tradition, Not Extinct: Keeping the Sinixt Way is a unique publication in that it is
an audio file/book collection of Sinixt stories. The actual stories are available ONLY in audio form and may be downloaded using instructions provided with the purchase of the book. The book itself supports the audio files in multiple ways.
Honouring the oral tradition, Not Extinct: Keeping the Sinixt Way is a unique publication in that it is
an audio file/book collection of Sinixt stories. The actual stories are available ONLY in audio form and may be downloaded using instructions provided with the purchase of the book. The book itself supports the audio files in multiple ways.
This project is designed to present Sinixt culture and teachings to students and the general public. After engaging in a listening session to hear a story, the book supports the audio files with cross-cultural perspectives offering two world views. These world views are profiled in discussions between the Sinixt storytellers and the settlers who participated in the project, as well as through the illustrations. This sets a path for a deeper cultural exchange by fostering community relationships between Sinixt and settler or non-Sinixt peoples and sharing the resulting work with the broader community.
Before you engage in utilizing this resource we feel it would be critical to provide you with two key points of information not included with the publication. These can be utilized as a part of the curricula delivered to your students and/or you can utilize these two critical pieces to assist in setting an educational path for your students. These two critical points demonstrate the importance of the oral tradition and stories to cultural practice that has been maintained over millenia. Providing students with these two critical perspectives of cultural practice will broaden their cross-cultural experience with this resource.
To start the process of developing this Teacher's Resource, initially we focus on two of the stories included in this resource: the Columbia River story and the Frog Mountain story. We have utilized the B.C. educators guide to identify how each of these two stories meet the learning outcomes across K-12 grades and subjects. We encourage your creativity in delivering these stories in as many subject areas and grade levels as you may discover appropriate. Please do not limit yourself as an educator to utilizing these stories solely in the areas that we have identified.
The new guidelines for the B.C. educational requirements insist that there be First Nations/ Aboriginal content through BC curricula. We are committed to assisting educators in the search for appropriate and adequate resources to meet those requirements. We are releasing these educational materials as an introduction to the resource and to receive feedback from you. We look forward to your utilization of these introductory pieces and to your constructive comments to assist in developing lessons for the rest of the stories in Not Extinct. The lesson plans, including a comment section, for this pilot project will be available on the maapress.ca web site. In this preliminary stage of the project your valuable feedback, comments, and suggestions will be instrumental in how we move forward. We encourage you to share how you have engaged with this resource and the outcomes whether negative or positive.
Our goal is to feature all of the stories in Not Extinct: Keeping the Sinixt Way in a comprehensive guide for educators. Currently, we have eight lessons posted, thanks to the Slocan Valley Legacy Fund for financial support. We thank you for taking this cross-cultural journey with us.
Lim limpt / Thank you,

Gold Digger, BBC One review - Julia Ormond tackles those mid-life blues | reviews, news & interviews
Gold Digger, BBC One review - Julia Ormond tackles those mid-life blues
Gold Digger, BBC One review - Julia Ormond tackles those mid-life blues
Marnie Dickens's family drama asks if life can begin again at 60
A tip of the hat to Julia Ormond for boldly going where many an actress might have chosen not to. In this new six-parter by Marnie Dickens, she plays Julia Day, a mother of three who's just divorced her husband and is turning 60. Dickens's objective, we may surmise, was to drive away the fog of invisibility which can descend irrationally upon mature women, however capable they may be, and demonstrate that age can indeed be just a number.
Julia has reached a turning point, and is brooding over roads taken or not taken, and what her life is worth. As she puts it in a voice-over, "daughter, wife, mother… these are my roles. I chose them, for better or worse."
Ruefully examining her brand new Senior Citizen railcard, she travels to London from her home in Devon to celebrate her 60th with her family, but her plans hit the buffers. Daughter Della gets stranded at an airport, her morbid City lawyer son Patrick (Sebastian Armesto, pictured below) is too busy to make it, while his crass younger brother Leo, who's incapable of changing a lightbulb or buying a pint of milk, forgot all about it. It sums up Julia's melancholy sense that she's being nudged into the sidings of life. Twisting the knife still further is the fact that her best friend Marsha (Nikki Amuka-Bird) – make that former best friend – is having an affair with her ex-husband Ted (a very supercilious Alex Jennings). Oddly, Marsha thinks they can still be pals.
Julia assuages the disappointment of her birthday disaster with a trip to the British Museum, where she used to work as a conservator, and is flabbergasted to find herself being chatted up by Benjamin (Ben Barnes), aged 30-ish. He seems gentle and charming, though as his surprisingly confident seduction of Julia proceeds we're obviously being steered to believe that the show is all about him (the clue is in the title). But it's fatal to jump to conclusions in the first episode. Long story short, she celebrates her birthday with Benjamin in her luxurious hotel suite (which she's paying for).
Dickens has fun with the scene where Julia introduces Ben to her family, an encounter which leaves Patrick spluttering with impotent rage, petulant Leo demanding "what the actual fuck?", and only Della offering stout non-judgmental support to her mother. Benjamin, far from being embarrassed or timid, responds to Patrick and Leo with flashes of naked hostility. Benjamin helpfully sums up their (and our) feelings: "You see this young-ish guy and you think 'what's his game?'" Meanwhile, what do the murky flashbacks suggesting brutal domestic violence mean, and what is it about Julia's ex-hubbie that makes even his mother despise him?

Hi there Everyone! It has been so long since Mom has let me near the keys. I'll have to talk to her about that. But one of my favorite lady friends has given me an award!
Miss Daisy the Pit Bull has awarded me the The Golden Cup Award.
I am so excited that I am currently running circles around my mom as she types this. Did you know it is hard to dictate while running?
She called me her Knight in Shining Armor! Wow!
I had to ask my mom what that was. She said it was because I was a good boy who always looked out for the ladies and treated them right. Well of course. They're girls! You have to treat them right!
That's right Charlie, the Cat! I have and award. Ha!
Since Miss Daisy gave me the award, I'll just send her lots of woofs and wiggles. So I'm going to pass this award along to my favorite dog friends, :
Later everyone!

If you're playing poker from mobile and you're experiencing any issues, I'd love to know about it here in this thread. Especially if you're experiencing freezes or having to sign in again after having used another app for just a few minutes, it'd be great if you could share your experience.
Information such as phone model, Android/iOS version, how often it happens and if you're typically experiencing issues on wifi or 3g/4g would be appreciated! If you haven't played from mobile for a while (so it's been a while since your edperienced the issue) it'd be good to know as well
@Stubbe-Unibet so it seems like I'm the one of them
Here my device (know it is quite an old device, but I respect/love it as it was a gift):
(Note: it did not allow me to update system anymore ... so OS version 4.4.2 seems to be FINAL for my device)
And here it is once I try to log-in into application (using the latest & greatest):
(Note: fix is to quit the application and run it again (will get log-in to the lobby without entering credentials ))
My further note/observation: when using Lenovo A5500-F device (know it is even older one, but OS remains the same -> Android 4.4.2) - there is an additional issue that whenever hit Profile button, application exits immediatelly -> so I'm unable to access anything which is reachable through Profile (adding new avatar, using bonus points, getting history, changing challenges ...)
Beside all of that I'm very confident customer of Unibet for Players by Players - keep up the good job

@MadAdo, appreciate the feedback. Anyone else with feedback?
@Stubbe-Unibet update as of today -> I'm able to log-in after first attempt (yesterday evening and also today's morning)
But detect addional issue: whenever exits application, it ends up with error message saying, that application just stop working :-)
Keep up the good work, I'm satisfied and my big pleasure to play on Unibet last years !!! You awesome crowd @UNIBET@ guys
I have a problem getting in sometime... long delay then when finally in it shows everything except toutnaments... I hit the button fot hex and it shows them... same with sit and go but tournaments never show. I have to close and reopen. I have also had the problem when it pops up the message about applicstion stopped working.
I have been unable to log in from my mobile for several weeks now - Sorry I can't be more specific
I have an Android Alcactel Pixie about 2 or 3years old.
I usually just get a balnk or almost blank screen (like the pic already posted)
I only try via Wi-Fi
I assumed it might be because I tried in public places and it is an 'adult' site or in Casinos who may prefer I play live
I do have a load of issue with my phone so have just assumed it's knackered.
Rebooting a phone works for me when it opens with that grey screen.


text: ROBERT HUNTER: Colonial Governor, d. in Jamaica 11 March 1734. He entered the British Army, and rose to the rank of Major General. He was appointed Governor of Virginia in 1797, but while on the voyage, was captured by a French privateer, and retained a captive till the end of 1709. In June 1710 he became Governor of New York, and the Jerseys at the head of 2,000 Palatine Colonists. He was commander of the ablest of the series of Royal Governors, but had frequent disputes with the assembly, which almost invariably refused to grant the required appropriations. He retired from the Governorship of New York in 1719, and was appointed Governor of Jamaica in July 1727, which office he held till his death. He was the author of the famous letter on "Enthusiasm," which was attributed by some to Swift, and by others to Shaftesbury, and also was the author of a farce called, "Androboros."
