When Luthmann was released in 1920, he invited poor artists released from Siberian prisons who went on to Japan to stay in his house and learned from them. He sought and found friends among Japanese artists who impressed him, and took in Japanese art exhibitions. At this time, he sketched with charcoal, pen, and pencil, and painted only occasionally with oil or tempera. In 1921, however, he found a book called "Modern Graphic Arts" by Prof. H.W. Singer in a Tokyo bookshop, and it and books by Joseph Pennell became his only teachers in etching. Luthmann would say in 1924 that etching was "absolutely unknown here in Japan," which is not entirely accurate. Rather, he was probably unaware of the etched work of Japanese artists such as Ishii Hakutei, Tomimoto Kenkichi, Santomi Ton, and Kishida Ryusei, many of whom had studied with Bernard Leach in the teens. But he was right that there was "no such thing as a printer of etchings to do the work for you."

Learning printing took Luthmann more than a year before getting satisfactory results. He enlisted his wife Jennie to assist him in printing, who in time learned to do it as well as he did. From his output, it is clear that Luthmann spent time in Tokyo, Kyoto, Kobe, Nara, Nakamoura, Hakone, Miyajima, Kamakura, and Enoshima, among other places in Japan.
Personal Collection
At some point in the late 1920s, Luthmann and his wife went to live in China for a time. From his etchings, it would appear that he visited Shanghai, Soochow, Peking, and the Chinese coast. This was probably around 1929, as his first Chinese etching was exhibited at the Chicago Society of Etchers' show at the Art Institute of Chicago in January 1930.

By 1930, if not earlier, the Luthmanns traveled on to Worpswede, an artist colony in lower Saxony, Germany. Initially, they lived with the German painter and graphic artist Martin Paul Müller, "an artist who had not only long knowledge of the craft [of etching] but a large equipment." In Germany, he also studied color printing, presumably with Müller.

Worpswede evidently became the Luthmanns' home base, although it is known that they also spent time in Chiusa, Italy. During the 1940s, Luthmann was a guest at the Hotel Gsoihof in Villnöss, at the foot of the Dolomites, where his paintings remain hung throughout that hotel to this day.

Bertha Jaques was clearly instrumental in getting Luthmann's work seen in the United States. In addition to letting Luthmann participate in annual Chicago Society of Etchers shows from 1927 to 1931, Jaques arranged for the Division of Graphic Arts at the United States National Museum at the Smithsonian Building (today known as the National Museum of American History) to exhibit sixty-six of Luthmann's etchings from February 29 to March 27, 1932. The Indianapolis Museum of Art previously held an earlier exhibition of Luthmann's etchings at the John Herron Art Institute from October 12 to November 2, 1930.
[Wayside Cross in the Dolomites] (c. 1935) by Hans Luthmann
Although Luthmann had a few European landscapes in the 1932 National Museum show, thereafter he seems to have understandably concentrated exclusively on European subjects. In April 1934, for example, he exhibited "Old Streets in Brixen" at the Chicago Society of Etchers show at the Albert Roullier Art Galleries. In April 1938, he exhibited "Geisler in the Dolomites" at the Albert Roullier Art Galleries, the last new Luthmann etching for which I can find evidence of having been shown in the United States. Whatever interest remained in Luthmann's etchings after the Great Depression had taken its toll was fated not to last. The rise of militaristic nationalism in Japan in the late 1930s and the outbreak of war in Europe the following year would have completely extinguished his North American and British clients' appetite for Luthmann's prints.

(oil on canvas board)
As a consequence, Luthmann appears to have spent the rest of the thirties and early forties concentrating on landscape painting. Although I have found no evidence that he fought for Germany during World War II, one wonders if he might have been pressed into service in the final months of the war, or if he might have been a late civilian casualty, since he died in 1945 at the relatively young ago of 57.
Luthmann does not appear to have dated most of his prints. His early works, however, can be easily identified because they were printed with brown ink on cream paper, all featuring Japanese subjects. It is possible, however, that some may have been later reprinted in black ink. As noted above, his Chinese works date from around 1929, and his color prints started to appear around 1930. The Asian prints for which I have found images are shown below in alphabetical order:

A rail line, a teepee and cooking a wild goose – The Trans Canada trail from Montreal to Ottawa
I sit today at a library on Queen street in Toronto writing this blog. It is September 10th, 2016. Last time I wrote I was in Montreal. It was the end of July. So I will pick up the story from there. It has been the hottest summer ever recorded here in Ontario and Quebec.

SYDNEY — Qantas Airways took back to the skies Monday after a government tribunal ordered the airline to lift the grounding of its entire fleet, which had stranded thousands of people around the world during the weekend.
A flight from Sydney to Jakarta departed shortly after the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia cleared it for takeoff Monday afternoon.
The resumption of service by Qantas followed 48 hours of travel chaos that left as many as 70,000 passengers stuck in airports around the globe, straining the airline's relationship with its customers and drawing the ire of the Australian government.
In a statement, Qantas warned international customers to expect delays until at least Tuesday evening, Australian time. But it said domestic services would be running as scheduled from Tuesday morning.
Passengers booked to travel Monday from Los Angeles International airport, a major U.S. hub for Qantas, were told to report to the airport as scheduled. Still, the airline warned those who had been stranded by earlier cancellations to await further information before heading to the airport.
The tribunal's decision in the early hours of Monday granted 21 days for Qantas and its workers to resolve their acrimonious dispute — the motivation for the airline's halting of flights Saturday — and reach a binding agreement or face compulsory arbitration.
The action by Qantas that kept its planes out of the skies raised the stakes in the confrontation with its unions after months of tension.
The airline, one of the 10 largest in the world, was hit by a series of labor problems as employees voiced concern about wage inequality and the moving of jobs out of Australia. Workers staged various actions that included brief strikes and the refusal to work overtime.
Despite a direct appeal by the Australian prime minister, Julia Gillard, to solve the matter swiftly, hundreds of flights were canceled over the weekend and it took a court order to get the planes moving again.
Ms. Gillard tried to seize some credit for the resolution in a series of media appearances Monday. Her opponents argued, though, that she had failed to break the impasse herself because of her ties to the labor unions.
"I've done what I needed to do to get this dispute brought to an end, to get the planes back in the sky," The Australian, a daily newspaper, quoted her as saying.
The opposition leader, Tony Abbott, wasted little time in blaming the government for the chaos, however, which some said was threatening to tarnish one of the nation's most notable brands.
"I think the public has had a win, but it is no thanks to the Gillard government," he said on Australian television.
Meanwhile, the chief executive of Qantas, Alan Joyce, who faced sharp criticism over his decision to ground the fleet, struck a contrite tone. But he also blamed the unions for the disruption.
"I apologize to all Qantas passengers that have been impacted by the industrial action by unions over the past few months and in particular the past few days," Mr. Joyce said in a statement.
He suggested that grounding the fleet had been a tactical move by the airline to break the deadlock with the unions.
"That was the only way we could bring that to a head," Mr. Joyce was quoted as saying by Reuters after the ruling.
Qantas had to reduce and reschedule flights for weeks because of the labor actions. But the unions said they were the injured party and accused the company of planning to outsource the company's operations to Asia.
Qantas, which employs about 35,000 people, said the grounding of the fleet had cost it an estimated $21 million a day. It was losing $16 million a week in revenue as a result of the union actions.
Two of the leading credit ratings agencies, Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's, said Monday that they might lower the airline's rating because of the fallout from the increasingly bitter industrial conflict.
But many investors and analysts seemed relieved that the shutdown of flights had ended and that a resolution to the disagreement with the unions might be in sight. The company's shares closed up 4.4 percent in Sydney at 1.61 Australian dollars, or $1.06.
Qantas's brand is unlikely to suffer in the long run, said Cameron McDonald, a Sydney-based aviation analyst with Deutsche Bank.
"It's a fairly dramatic step," Mr. McDonald said, referring to the grounding of flights. "The feedback that the company is giving down here is that they did what they deemed to be necessary to bring these things to a conclusion. And you'd have to say they achieved their aim."

I don't have a ton of pictures from various events this week so I just plugged it all into one post and then will brief you on the rest of the week! It wasn't too crazy which I LOVED! Life still stays busy, but I loved that it could be busy without being too crazy.
Last Sunday we had a family move into our ward and we had them over for Dinner. They have 6 boys ages 2-11. And I have to say, especially after having them in our home, seeing them at scouts, and in primary, they are so sweet! I'm so glad to have them here! Of course while they were over we played Don't Eat Pete!
Monday there wasn't any school so I put off some of my chores so we could spend some time doing fun things with mom. WEll the day didn't quite go as planned. The kids REALLY didn't cooperate and unfortunately spent half the day in quiet time! Bummer
Tuesday was probably my one crazy day as I had classes, my assistant/babysitter couldn't be there, and I had a scout meeting immediately following, but really it wasn't a bad day and we had fun in class that day! I love Teaching and we have some cute songs we are learning. I think my fav that day was Do, Re, Mi. I"m teaching it to the older class. They caught on really quickly and it was sounding really good already!
OH! One thing we started this week is Maliyah and I are reading our first book. I emphasize book because it's our first real book without pictures and with chapters! My mom gave it to us for Christmas and finally I remembered to get started. Although the reading is difficult for a Kindergartner to understand, overall she understands and the chapters are short so...yay! The first night after finishing the first chapter she BEGGED to do another. I was so happy she loved it I didn't mind continuing! We are onto chapter 5 tonight and I really look forward to that time we get together every night!
Thursday night was our Late night that you will read in the post below, but I have to mention something Ky said on Thursday. We were on our way to his Fieldtrip (I forgot my camera but am getting pics from a friend and will post later), and we were listening to the Primary CD we handed out the beginning of the year. Kyson doesn't really pay attention in primary. At least during Sharing time. I am there and he usually is just whiney, NEVER singing, or totally distracted. (I'm happy to get reports that he is good in his class though!) As the CD was playing Follow The Prophet started playing and he got all excited. 'Hey Mom! this is the song from Primary!' Yes it is! 'Sister Wood teached us this song!' And then he sang his little heart out!
I was so happy to know that not only was he paying attention, but that he recognized Sister Wood had teached it to him! He NEVER calls people by brother and sister (I don't know why because we always do) but instead refers to them as moms or dads. Like emily's mom. So I was happy he called her sister wood.
Okay, I gotta quickly end this...baby is crying, but Friday night we had fun playing at friends house and then the best day of the week....Saturday we got to go to the Temple! We did a swap with some friends. WE all drove up super early Saturdya morning and while Duck and I attended our friends took the kids to McDonalds for Breakfast, then while our friends attended we took teh kids all to the mall. It worked out SO fantastic and we were both really thrilled for the situation and it went well so that we can do it again!
I hope that you all reading this are great and happy and doing well! Our prayers are out there for specific friends and family in need. I also look forward to our next visit to Utah coming up soon!

Smothered Chipotle BBQ Chicken Sliders
These are a FAVORITE in our house. I made them a while ago but then they kind of got lost in my recipe shuffle. The kids and hubby were glad I added them back! I wrote the recipe for the Instant Pot but any way you like to make BBQ chicken will work – its really the onions and sauce that make these sandwiches to die for every time!
Smothered Chipotle BBQ Chicken Sliders
1 lb chicken
BBQ Sauce (used about 1-1/2 cups)
3/4 cup water
Mini buns
White Sauce:
1 cup mayo
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 T lemon juice
*salt and pepper optional
Pickled Red Onions:
1 red onion, diced
1/2 cup red wine vinegar (if you like vinegar, use up to 3/4 c)
2 T sugar
- Add chicken, bbq sauce and water to Instant Pot. (You can cook the chicken in the crock pot too! Just add bbq sauce and chicken and cook on low for 4-6 hours).
- Cook on "poultry setting" for 15 min. When done, quick release the pressure. Shred the chicken and return to Instant Pot.
- While chicken is cooking, make onions – mix together all ingredients (onion, red wine vinegar, and sugar) and put in fridge to marinate. These are better the longer you marinate so if you remember, make them the night before or the morning of the meal!
- Mix together all ingredients for the white sauce (apple cider vinegar, mayo, and lemon juice). Also store in fridge while chicken is cooking.
- Serve chicken on buns, top with white sauce and onions! Can add extra BBQ sauce if you desire.
- This makes GREAT leftovers!

As soon as Prime Minister Sadra AKA Gel-san is sworn into office, things move very quickly, and this week's episode breathlessly follows him from place to place, interacting with all kinds of people either one-on-one or reported on social media and television. And everything seems to indicate that despite his bizarre appearance and inexperience in politics, Gel and his radical populist policies are a big hit with the populace.
With each new piece of legislation his fans seem to grow in number, while those who aren't so enthused with what's going on are limited to Rui, Hajime, and Tsubasa's grandpa, who basically bursts Tsubasa's bubble by telling her she has no idea what "peace", "united", and "fight" really mean, all while casting knowing glances at the photo of his deceased relation; a soldier in the army. I don't think he's arguing for the sake of argument. I think he, in his many years, has seen and heard everything Gel and Tsubasa are peddling, in a different but no less attractive guise.
One rather large hole in Gel-san's little love-in is that he's acting on the opinion of the majority of the masses, and in doing so, devaluing the rights of the minority. Pure individuals like gramps or Hajime have a problem with this, but they're largely lost in the rising tide of overwhelming public acceptance of this New Order.
The majority even votes to prohibit Crowds; another nail in the coffin of Rui's dream to update the world. We see a lot of good ideas and policies get implemented this week, but with plenty of foreboding signs that another shoe is about to drop soon.
At the end of the day, Gel-san is an alien from another world, and Tsubasa is almost painfully idealistic. So it's understandable both would be missing an important piece of the equation. I suspect that piece will rear its head soon.
Oh, and omedetou, Sugane. That's quite an impressive harem you're amassing!

Police ID victim killed by a falling tree
STAMFORD — State police identified the man killed by a tree that fell on his car Friday afternoon as a 25-year-old New Jersey resident.
Police said Jonathan Rodriguez-Melendez, of Hawthorne, New Jersey, suffered fatal injuries in the accident — weeks before his 26th birthday.
Around 3:35 p.m., a tree fell on a Mini Cooper traveling south on Route 15 between exits 33 and 31, which is the Stamford-Greenwich stretch of the highway. On Twitter, Connecticut State Police initially reported the incident took place at exit 33 in Stamford.
Rodriguez-Melendez, the driver of the car, was declared dead at the scene. The vehicle's only other passenger, also a New Jersey resident, was transported to Greenwich Hospital with "minor, non-life-threatening injuries," police said.
"One occupant transported to the hospital for evaluation and one occupants pronounced deceased," said Connecticut State Police spokeswoman Trooper First Class Kelly Grant.
Police said that as the car in question approached the Riverbank Road overpass, a "large" tree dislodged and fell directly on top of the vehicle. The car eventually came to a rest about a quarter of a mile south of the overpass, police said.
Police are blaming the accident on rain and "severe" crosswinds that resulted from Friday's nor'easter. So far, this is the only reported death as a result of the storm.
The scene is still active, Grant said, and troopers continue to investigate. The highway was closed to traffic around exit 33 as police investigated the crash.

When comparing Kanazawa vs Nara, the Slant community recommends Kanazawa for most people. In the question"What are the best cities to visit in Japan besides Tokyo and Kyoto?" Kanazawa is ranked 2nd while Nara is ranked 6th. The most important reason people chose Kanazawa is:
The local fish market has affordable, fresh sushi shops. There are also dozens of high-end sushi restaurants that people from all around Japan travel to Kanazawa to eat at.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Some of the best-quality sushi in Japan
The local fish market has affordable, fresh sushi shops. There are also dozens of high-end sushi restaurants that people from all around Japan travel to Kanazawa to eat at.
Pro Beautiful gardens and Edo-period architecture
Comparable, if not more beautiful than Kyoto's famous shrines, temples, and gardens. Since there are less people, the scenery if more peaceful.
Pro Wild deers everywhere
There are wild deer roaming all the local parks. You can buy feed for cheap and enjoy being chased by dozens of deers.
Pro Quiet, serene primeval forest
The Kasugayama Primeval Forest behind the shrine is a peaceful place to go hiking. Although it isn't nearly as mysterious in person as 'primeval forest' sounds, it's still a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of urban cities.
Pro Close to Kyoto
Pro Ancient shrine
Kasuga Shrine is one of the oldest shrines in Japan and the head of the Kasuga branch of shrines. The moss covering much of the architecture is unique compared to the spotless shrines in other parts of Japan.
Since Kanazawa is a popular destination for Japanese people, and foreigners tend to go to Kyoto, many of the attractions in Kanazawa are less language-friendly to English-speakers. That being side, most signs are in English, and many of the main attractions still offer pamphlets and directions in English.

Google Takes Artificial Intelligence A Notch Higher With The New Google Assistant
Artificial intelligence is the future of our world. We already have Apple's Siri and Window's Cortana to make our day to day life easy. Walking on the same lines, Google has launched Google Assistant. Just like Siri and Cortana, it is a voice-activated personal assistant and is Google's most awaited tech-child.
Source: assistant.google.com
As of now, Google Assistant is only available on Google Pixel. Most of the Android users have already experienced 'Google Now' and have asked various questions by saying 'OK Google'. SO what exactly is the difference between these two?
Google Now
Source: knowyourmobile.com
Google now cannot be considered as artificial intelligence, but a dictation or voice commands. The wizard gives the answers for a particular request by a user.
Made to answer
Google Now can hear and understand the natural language of people and respond to requests, as long as you are in the list of pre-set commands.
A secretary
It works more like a secretary. Just by saying 'OK Google', you can do programming, find restaurants near you, and calculate travel time from one point to the other.
Unlike Siri in iOS and Cortana in Microsoft, Google Now is not a unique Android platform. That means it can be used in all the operating systems.
Just a search engine
Google Now could be considered a slacker next to its competitors, as it just provides the information that the user has asked. You cannot learn with the help of it.
Google Assistant
In comparison to Google Now, Google Assistant goes a step further: the user can talk to and learn from it.
Made to converse
While his younger brother can only hear and give practical answers to user requests, Google Assistant can start a conversation, thanks to their knowledge and understanding of natural language.
An assistant
Tasks that Google Assistant can do include all the tasks that you can perform in Google Now and more, but with a nicer interface. For example: if you search "Show me the pictures of my wedding", Google Assistant will customise the results and show you the pictures only from that particular folder.
Omnipresent in Google
Source: assistant.google.com
Google Assistant only works in Allo chat app in the Google Home automation device and the phone Google Pixel. It is also expected to work by default on all devices that run the latest version of Android.
A friend
Source: espcializados.es
Google Assistant not only responds to the user in complete sentences but also learns from him. It regularly gathers all the information through your search to improve the results more accurate and personalised.
Google Assistant is an advanced version of Google Now and is likely to replace Google Now in the future completely. Let's hope, this big brother of Google Now will soon be available for all the Android users to make their lives smoother.

http://www.youtube.com/user/Chokearti#play/uploads/6/N63TXAHDgkE. The young students are amazing at describing its use
But the most useful thing I've done is trialled it in my lessons, firstly as a self assessment tool and then as a structure to base conversations about the quality of the student work. Both times I have shared what I was doing and asked for feedback. My students have responded in spades, some obviously finding even my crudest attempts useful.
This piece of student work was marked together discussing where on the taxonomy she thought she was. It uses the original language which I have changed, but will probably change back! You can see I am still going back and forth on this one. I have added a couple of extra levels to act as stepping stones. I will find out if they are need.
So my plan is to use the wall display to help permeate as many aspects of my teaching as I can, I will design assessment scheme for specific pieces of work based around this, use it as a self assessment tool, try to correlate it with the National Curriculum levels, refer to it in my feedback to students both verbally and written and I will also with students display exemplar pieces of work at each level. I think this tool with a purpose has legs. Now, I just have to go and use it!

As from last month (November 2014), new Explosives Regulations 2014 (ER 2014) and the Acetylene Safety (England and Wales and Scotland) Regulations 2014 (ASR 2014) come into force in November 2014.
In order to, wherever possible, simplify the legislation, the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has worked with stakeholders to do so, as well as to consolidate and modernise.
These new changes (amongst others) see the use of a flashback arrestor with a non-return device when using acetylene gas in individual, mobile cylinder supply or manifold systems as law (as opposed to best practice).
For more information about flashback arrestors – or any other welding consumables, equipment of industrial supplies – please don't hesitate to contact us.

Bail $100,000 cash for woman awaiting trafficking trial
A California woman who is denying drug trafficking charges was ordered held on $100,000 bail Monday after she failed to appear in court in May.
Laura C. Thrash, 43, is also facing a felony charge of failing to appear.
The charges stem from an August 2017 arrest in which it was alleged she sold a dozen ounces of methamphetamine over three occasions.
A March 26, 2019, trial date was set on all charges.
In Nevada, trafficking in more than 14 grams of methamphetamine can carry a life sentence and mandatory fine.
■ A 20-year-old Minden resident is also denying a trafficking charge.
Troy T. Collins, 20, is facing a trafficking charge after he was arrested on July 25 in Gardnerville.
He was stopped after the deputy said he crossed the centerline and nearly struck his patrol car.
He was taken into custody and trafficking levels of methamphetamine were allegedly found in his sock.
Collins is scheduled for trial June 18.
■ A Gardnerville Ranchos man's sentencing was continued on Monday after he questioned the evidence against him.
Addison Franklin Orr, 28, did not withdraw the guilty plea he entered in July, but asked the judge for more time to think about it.
District Judge Tom Gregory gave Orr, who is in custody, until Oct. 15 to consider the plea.
Gregory asked attorney Matthew Ence to file paperwork in advance, so the court can hold a hearing on whether Orr will be permitted to withdraw his plea.
Orr said he disagreed with the statements set forth in the sheriff's report, including that he was Tazed in the front not the back, and that while he did pick up a rock, he didn't threaten the deputy with it. He said security footage from the Tillman Lane 7-Eleven would confirm his version of events.
Orr entered guilty pleas to charges of assault on a peace officer, being under the influence of methamphetamine and battery on an officer in connection with a June 14 incident in the Gardnerville Ranchos.
Should he withdraw his plea, Orr's case would be set for a jury trial. He remained in custody on $10,000 cash only bail.

I'm not sure where to start, so I'll just jump right in.
I'm convinced that developing a relationship with forgiveness is one of the keys to happiness. Forgiving doesn't have to mean forgetting, but if you can forgive the people and things that have happened to you, you'll feel a lot lighter for it. And if you can't? That's okay too. But try to let it go. Say, I can not forgive this/you, and then keep going. Leave the forgiveness part to the universe. It's okay, you're human.
In fact, if you find that you're being too hard on yourself, remember that too. It's okay, you are human.
The cliche, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is true, although almost always frustrating to hear when you're standing in the middle of shit and feeling like the life has been sucked out of you. Try to eliminate thoughts like This isn't fair, or I don't deserve this. Because it's not about that. It's about doing the best you can with what you are given.
When you find the thing that makes you happy (and I don't mean a person, here), fight to keep it -- even if it's a city away from your friends, a job that your parents don't approve of, or a hobby that you are almost too busy for.
And as for the person that makes you happy? Remember that relationships and friendships are a constant learning and growing experience, that will sometimes be difficult (see also: forgiveness). Don't forget to tend and cultivate them with care, and if the day comes where you need to fight for a person, then do it, but if they still insist on walking away, then the best thing that you can do for yourself is to let them go and be at peace knowing that you did everything that you could.
Taking a person for granted can be one of the most sad, devastating, and damaging mistakes, and you will do this to someone, and it will be done to you. Again: forgiveness.
You are responsible for your own happiness, and should never rely on another person to provide happiness for you. Create a life that you are in love with, be in love with yourself, and fill it with those worth sharing it all with, who magnify all of the goodness that you already have.
You make your own family. Go with your gut. Stand up for yourself and what you believe in. Be kind, especially when it's hard. Don't tolerate anyone who makes you feel small. Don't ever let anyone make you believe that you're not magnificent.
And LIVE. Kiss that stranger, take on that project, make goals, make mistakes, appreciate as much as you can, say you're sorry, be honest, be patient. Things will be okay, things will work out. Even if it takes a little while, even if it's the last thing that you're capable of believing in at the time.
If you read all of that, you are a champion. And because it is my birthday, and because I love and appreciate you, here is a high-res scan of "Rescue" for you to download and print. Share all you'd like (but please don't use the image for profit, okay?). Just click and save.♥

I'm sure many of you heard the recent interview he had with gol bezan
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I was a little surprised (not in a good or bad way) to see how much his tone has changed regarding his feelings towards TM and how he has been left out over the years! His points were very valid and IMO one of the more head scratching things CQ did in his time in TM.
Anyway LAFC are sitting on top of the western conference in first place with 10 points in 4 matches, let's see if he can help the team make a deeper run in the play offs this year. Go Steevie boy!

This week at NHMS will showcase the Cup cars once again with Brooks starting from pole position. His 27.968s lap was just 0.023 good enough to beat out Luis Zaiter for the preferred position on the grid.
Buttafuoco will start third, Nick Walker fourth and Matthew Heale fifth.

And this week Brandyn Gritton (28.104) will lead the field to the green flag beside Joey Stone, 0.072 separating the two drivers on the time sheets.
Nick Jobes will roll of third, Cody Giles fourth and Josh Harbin fifth.

Dear Friends
of TwinRock,
Now midway through the Third Quarter, we are continuing to have success liquidating our single-family rental funds. In addition, our Oklahoma multifamily assets are showing signs of improvement after the TwinRock property management company took full control of operations. Additionally, we are closing on our third student housing project, adding our fourth student housing project to our acquisition pipeline, and successfully continuing our HOA acquisitions and our hedge fund.
Both TRP Funds I and II, which acquired homes in 2010 through 2012, should be fully liquidated by year-end netting a 20% IRR to the investors and doubling their investment. TRP Fund III, which acquired homes in 2012 is forecasted to be fully liquidated by 2018 with a 16% IRR to the investor. We have also successfully sold 5% of our Lake Las Vegas portfolio (a portfolio of new homes in Lake Las Vegas acquired directly in 2012 from a national homebuilder post bankruptcy) at nearly double the acquisition cost.
During the Second Quarter, we closed on Log Hill Run, a 328 bed student housing complex located in Columbia, home to the University of Missouri, similar to the 320-bed Rupple Row Cottages in Fayetteville, Arkansas purchased last year. Log Hill was first identified 10 months ago. We recently launched our next investment, Gateway at Columbia, a true purposebuilt student housing complex, 1.5 miles away from Log Hill Run, in a location central to retail and restaurants. It was identified 6 months ago and approximately half of available investments are committed with closing planned for late September.
Gateway is currently at 84.7% occupancy for the 2016/17 school year. Our purchase agreement requires any shortfall between 80.0% and 90.0% occupancy to be credited at closing, providing a high level of support in our Year-1 revenue forecast. With the national cap rate for an asset of this quality at 6.0%, we believe we are acquiring Gateway at a ~10.0% discount, as our acquisition cap is at a 6.7%. Though lender appraisals are generally conservative and not supportive, our lender appraiser valued the property $800,000 more than our acquisition price, the highest variance we have received in recent years. We received lender approval on a fixed 12 year loan with 6 years being interest only.
We remain focused on acquiring in the student housing sector, due to its stability and resiliency. "During the recession, prices for apartment properties overall fell by about 20%, but average prices per bed for student housing properties stayed strong," CBRE reports. While investors have piled in, resulting in higher prices, volume and lower cap rates, we believe deals can still be found, providing we maintain patience to identify assets.
An update on our pre-existing opportunities: TRP Fund VI, a continuation of our HOA strategy, has closed on a portion of the portfolio with additional purchases in the pipeline. Fund VI is still open to new investors, but is closing in the coming weeks. Our hedge fund, TwinRock Value Opportunity Fund, has yielded a 20% return since February, outperforming the S&P 500.
We hope to bring you even more positive news in our next quarterly report. In the meantime, should you have any questions, we look forward to hearing from you.
Very truly yours,

How to identify a good transportation company.
A transport company is a company that is formed with an aim of offering shipping services to people. Transport industry has been in operation for a long time. Successful companies such crst have been in operation for more than 50 year. Transport company succeed as a result of proper management and successful freights.
The first step in choosing the right shipping company is checking the reputation of the company. Reputation of a company is very crucial as it is determined by the level of satisfaction of customers. A company with satisfying services will be ranked highly. A company that offers satisfying transport services like crst cry will benefit from increased customers. The number of customers increase as a result satisfying transport services. This results from timely deliveries of undamaged goods.
Transport Company the size of crst should have all legal documentation required to be in operation. A goods transportation company is licensed by licensing body. Furthermore, and all vehicle used in consignment of goods 'should have a valid operating license. Truck drivers should be trained and have a valid driving license.
Choosing a company such crst that has been engaging in shipping business for a long time is paramount. Such companies will easily solve all hindrance encountered during shipping. In addition, safety and efficiency is boosted by advanced equipment that experienced companies employ in consignment of customers goods. A transport company should offer diverse services. This ensures that a customer gets all services that he/she require in a company without having to engage another company. It will be inconvenient to work with a company that doesn't offer some services such as refrigeration. This is because it will cost a customer extra charges while looking for another transport company.
Reliability is very paramount for a shipping company. It should offer high level of services. A reliable company delivers goods in time with no delays. CustomerS will incur financial losses in case there is a late delivery of their goods
Research shows that the demand for transportation services is more than the supply. Successful shipping companies such as crst have enough trucks to satisfy the customers' demand. In addition, it is important for a company to have to trucks that are lightweight and those that are heavyweight.
Stability of a company like crst is another factor that should be emphasized when choosing a shipping company. A company that has been in the market to a long time such as crst is stable. A shipping company that owns many shipping vehicle and owns a spacious warehouse is regarded as stable. Warehouse are structures that are used to store goods awaiting transportation or awaiting to be picked by the customers. It is risk to engage with company that is unstable because there is risk of inconsistent transportation capacity. Finally, shipping carriers should observe the aspect of safety. A carrier should not break law in order to get to destination on time. Low accidents rates are common on to companies that observe security measures.

LEGGER OPP: Nathalie von Siebenthal setter stopp
– Etter noen få dager måtte jeg vedkjenne at verken kroppen eller hodet ønsket å fortsette.
Switzerland's current top long distance athlete amongst the female team Nathalie von Siebenthal decided to end her career as a professional Cross-Country athlete.
Det er FIS-Ski.com som melder dette, før de fortsetter;
After the past season, von Siebenthal decided to take a break from training and also renounced the participation at her regular mountain trail run comptitions in Switzerland.
After the intensive preparation for the World Championships in Seefeld, von Siebenthal felt like she had to focus on something different than skiing.
– The decision to take a break in spring was really important for me. In autumn I felt like my body was ready to go fully into training again. After a few days however, I had to admit that neither my body, nor my mind wanted to continue.
– Now I am sure that resigning from the professional sport is the right thing to do for me.
In 2015 Nathalie von Siebenthal claimed the U23 World Champion title in Skiathlon at the U23 World Championships in Almaty (KAZ).
With more than 20 top-10 classifications in World Cup competitions, two Olympic diplomas and three top-7 classifications in individual races at Nordic World Ski Championships, the 26-year old can look back on five successful years in the World Cup circuit.

#53: The Readings Coordinator, by Paul Florez
July 9, 2014
I was recently hired as the Readings Coordinator for my graduate program at The New School in the fall. This amazing position will put me in charge of the student readings as well as allow me to have a hand in all the events sponsored by the writing program. For the student readings, I'll be hosting them—making sure the food and wine arrive on time, introducing the readers, and making sure everything goes off without a hitch.
My friend Lou Pizzitola had the time of his life being the Community Relations Manager over at Barnes and Noble, which is a position like a readings coordinator except on steroids and more fabulous. While Lou was introducing authors like President Obama and Tim Gunn, I would sit in the audience, observing Lou dressed in his finest John Varvatos as he so eloquently introduced his authors. I thought, "Man, I want to be like this guy one day."
And now at the tender age of thirty, being Lou Pizzitola is finally a possibility. This position is a small stepping-stone in what could possibly be my post-Graduate school trajectory. Oh, and did I mention I get to work with my friend Demetri? Someone who is not only a kickass writer, but one of the coolest guys I've ever met. He's seriously so cool and confident that the only reasonable explanation is that he's posthuman.
So to say I can't wait for the first student reading in the fall would be an understatement. I am eagerly counting down the days on my iCal.
However, being an executive assistant at a major book publisher taught me event planning is an unpredictable sport (that's right, I said sport. I'll let Demitri correct me on that later) and anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
For this article, I'm going to explore the possibility of how the first student reading will go. Below is the best as well as the worst case scenario.
The Best Case Scenario
I arrive thirty minutes early, my bowtie perfectly knotted, and I caress the podium.
"This is it," I say to myself, taking in a deep breath.
The pizza is delivered on time, the bartender is chilling the white wine and, oh my god, wouldn't you know it? The bartender is Ricky Rodriguez, someone who endlessly tormented me in junior high.
"What have you been up to since 8th grade," he asks me sheepishly.
I tell him about graduating with honors from Florida State, how I moved to New York after a job offer at Marvel Comics and then spent the last few years working in publishing but ultimately decided being a writer was my calling. I brag about all my bylines.
"Dude, I love Slice Magazine," Ricky says. "I've been trying to publish with them for years, but they said I just don't have what it takes."
I pat his shoulder sympathetically. "I'll put in a good word with Maria and Celia."
The new students begin pouring in and Demetri and I great them all at the door.
"Welcome to your student reading," we say in unison, unplanned but totally in sync. Demetri and I look at each other with approval. We were a bit unsure if we'd hit it off as coworkers but any anxiety is blown away in our very first fist pump.
"We should come up with a team name," he suggests.
"DnP" I quickly reply.
He smiles because he totally gets it's a reference to the two comic book creators, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, who regularly collaborate together and are called "DnA" by fans.
Everyone from my program is there. Kyle kisses me on the cheek, because after all I haven't seen her all summer while John, Daniella, Liz, Robert, Loren and Kay all take their seats. Both Emilys are there as well, sipping a glasses of white, and are so impressed with the event they corner me to take a selfie with them.
"We need to Instagram this student reading in real-time," the shorter Emily says.
"This event is simply fabulous because you're so fabulous," the taller Emily proclaims. "Oh and your John Vavatos jacket is so fetch."
Yes, in this universe Taller Emily was able to make fetch happen.
With the approval of the Emilys secured, I take the podium, and make a clever joke just as the President of the University walks in. He looks at me from the back of the room and smiles.
"This kid with the perfectly straight teeth has potential," he thinks to himself.
In the end the audience gives our readers a standing ovation and I see Lou in the crowd, raising a glass and I raise mine back at him. It's the perfect start to my final year as an MFA student.
The Worst Case Scenario
I try so hard to be early but realize one of my Pomeranians have peed on my John Varvatos jacket that I just got back from the dry cleaners.
"Boys, which one of you did this," I scream and both their ears fall back, thereby making me feel guilty and abusive.
I don't have time to properly tie my bowtie so I use the clip on buried deep in my dresser. Unbeknownst to me, the bowtie is hanging lopsided off my collar as I enter the room ten minutes late because there was a bomb threat on my subway.
Ricky Rodriguez is the bartender, but it's only a part-time gig as he preps for his Master of Sommelier Diploma exam, the world's hardest wine exam.
"Got to pay the bills somehow," he laughs. "The wife is expecting and I'm working hard to prove I'm a worthy husband and father. I want my kid to have everything I didn't have."
Of course, much to my horror, Ricky Rodriguez has transitioned from playground bully to ingénue with the heart of gold.
I take the podium, make a joke and Ricky is the only one who laughs out of pity.
My Invisilign falls out of my mouth as my professors from the previous year walk in. Demetri, mortified I am his coworker, silently denounces DnP.
Barley audible (because the saliva from reinserting my invisiligh on stage is overwhelming my mouth), I introduce the first reader and exit the podium certain I just wet my pants.
In the end, Lou is only a figment of my drunken stupor and Kyle was held up at a New York Times event where she was offered a staff position overseas and I never see her again. To make matters worse, the wine was served lukewarm cause there was no ice to be found (it's not even Ricky's fault, who by the way is fist pumping with Demetri).
"This wine taste like cat piss," the Emilys say in unison as they Instagram a photo of the suspiciously yellow tinted wine. "We expected better, Paul."
So there we have it. My biggest hopes and fear for this upcoming year. How will the first student reading turn out this fall? Well, tune in for my September article to find out.

In the context of student protests over Quebec tuition fees, my friend Luan Ngo has just written a very informative blog post on Quebec's fiscal situation.
While I encourage readers to read his full post, I do want to use the present space to make mention of three important points he makes:
- On a per capita basis, Quebec spends more on government programs than most other Canadian provinces.
- Residents of Quebec pay more personal incomes taxes than any other province.
- Quebec's debt-to-GDP ratio is significantly higher than that any other Canadian province.
He argues that, in light of the above, "Quebec is in a bind, stuck between a rock and a hard place."
While I believe Luan makes an extremely important contribution to the debate, I think it's crucial to make mention of the role of the federal government. I would argue that successive federal governments have in fact brought on this so-called crisis.
When Paul Martin was federal finance minister, he brought in several tax reductions. One was the $100-billion tax-cut package he brought in with the 2000 federal budget; he also brought in important reductions to capital gains taxes. By the time Chretien/Martin left office, the federal government's fiscal capacity (annually, and assuming a balanced budget over the business cycle) had been reduced by approximately $30 billion. After the Harper government came to power in 2006, this trend continued, as the Harper government continued what Chretien/Martin had started (including a reduction in the GST).
It therefore won't surprise many readers to learn that, while the federal government at one time covered 80 per cent of a typical Canadian university's operating budget, today the federal government covers just 50 per cent of a typical university's operating budget. If you're a federal government, it seems you can't have your cake and eat it too!
Thus, I would argue that the current "crisis" in Quebec over tuition fees has been largely created by successive federal governments that have defunded Canadian universities, indeed putting provincial governments "between a rock and a hard place."
And if successive federal governments have taken us in one direction on taxation levels, they also (if they so choose) have the option of reversing course. What goes up can also go down, and vice versa.
Finally, I feel it would be irresponsible for me not to point out that there are schools of thought (ones that are becoming somewhat more prominent in light of the financial crisis) that do not accept a lot of the limits and boundaries of neoclassical economics. Some economists have argued, for example, that if a central bank keeps real interest rates low (but positive) over the long term and allows for moderate inflation, a country with its own currency can increase spending very substantially over the long term without increasing taxes. PEF Blogger Arun Dubois has blogged extensively about some of these other perspectives.
This article was first posted on The Progressive Economics Forum.

Feline Update
The woman has promised me my own cat and I just wish she'd hurry up. She says we will know when the right one comes along. Maybe she'll get me two. Or a baker's dozen. I plan to spend lots of time educating them and showing them all the important things felines need to know. Well, except for catching and dismembering rodents - they'll have to work that one out on their own.
The woman went away today to visit relatives - some nonsense to do with the festive season and while she was gone Doc helped me to prepare a surprise for her. I'm still quite annoyed at having been told off about my self-help plan to overcome my fear of shavings bags by ripping them all open. I was staring through the gate at the rows of bags that she had placed out of my reach when Doc came along and asked what I was doing. I explained my frustration at being denied the tools I need to conquer my phobia and he immediately offered to help. "Dood", he said, "ya just had ta ast me." With that he reached over the gate and by latching onto the keystone bag in the middle, he pulled over the whole pile. Then we went to work , ripping and pinching and puncturing until we had shavings and bits of plastic everywhere. I felt like a born-again donkey, in charge of my life and afraid no more of the crackling demons. We were so hard at work that we didn't see herself appear at the door. "WHAT.HAVE.YOU.DONE??" she bellowed. We exited hastily, leaving a churning mass of shavings in our wake. "Thank you so much for turning the run-in into a snow globe", she shrieked after us.
She became so embroiled in cleaning up after us that I'm sorry to say dinner was late. When I made a pathetic whuffling noise to indicate that I was light-headed from starvation, all she said was "you brought this on yourself, you conniving little donkey". Any festive spirit that she acquired today obviously wore off on the way home.

I get a nice warm feeling reading about your mini-felines, so well done again to the caring humans.
Even better news that you are to get a feline of your very own - might you get your woman to amend the blog site so that we can also share our photos with you? I am sure you would approve of my felines & I would like your opinion on the Hound from Hades!
I'm sure your woman's festive spirit will return, when she has time to reflect & fully appreciate what a fine example of equine co-operation your latest desensitisation exercise was. LOL

What a wonderful report on the felines!
Your commitment to research and self-improvement are to be heartily commended. I have faith that ONE day the woman will learn to celebrate your brilliance.
(it could be worse! I just heard a radio interview last week about two twin brothers who are inventors - they blew up their family's woodstove by putting an unopened can of soup inside when they were boys!)

SO happpy to read that the felines are being treated like little princes!!
I too would like to be able to post a pic of me in my navy sport coat for Miss Molly - perhaps it could be printed out and posted in her stall.

She'll get over it, although it may take a few days....glad that your feline buddies are doing so well and enjoying life in general....you should be enjoying it too, as your overcoming the fear of those dastardly plastic bag monsters is almost complete....WELL DONE to both you and Sir Doc, sir!

Your friends have the nicest comments Sheaffer. It has been fun reading all the comments about the kittens. I have had a wonderful time caring for them, but am overjoyed at their adoption by such caring people who will be keeping them together. You really should get a cat of your own. They fill the day with sunshine and laughter. It is great that you are getting over your fear of the monster plastic bags. I am sure that your human will find her festive spirit again soon and realize that this was all for the good of your psychological health.

Dougie, I can't wait for my cat to arrive! I have instructed the woman to strain her tiny brain and figure out a way that I can post pictures from my friends. I wonder if setting up an e-mail account where readers could send the photo as a file would work? She's so technically challenged that she probably couldn't operate an abacus with two beads on it.
Billie, your encouragement means a lot. By the way, was one of those boy-inventors who blew up the stove with a can of soup called TJ??
Buddy, Molly says if we can figure out a way to get a gigantic picture of you for her stall she will stay in there twenty four hours a day to swoon over it. She must be at a "boy-crazy" stage - afterall, she is 12 years old. Otherwise she is quite simply unhinged.
Mr. Gale, thank you for seeing the situation in it's true light. You think she'd be pleased that I took my destiny into my own hoofs, as it were, but no, of course not. I regard her as a "glass is half empty" sort of human.
Alison, so glad you could join us! I have told the woman she should model herself after you - like my other blog friends, you can see my self-therapy as something of value,not simply wanton destruction. Please let us know how the mini-brothers are doing. As you can tell, we're all very excited about their voyage from ditch to feline palace. Kudos to you.

- billie said...
You know, I hadn't thought of it, Sheaffer, but it very likely WAS TJ! Can't you just see him smirking while waiting for the soup to heat up inside the can?

- Buddy said...
Hay Sheaffer - it snowed here today - didn't stay on the ground - but it was falling from the sky - sometimes big beautiful flakes of snow. Its very cold too! Gonna do this for a couple more days - but then I'll be very tired of it. I have to wear my blankie all day because it was so cold and snowy and raining.
Just wanted to share!
- December 15, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Perilous conditions
Buddy, where do you live that snow is a phenomenon? We have suffered through snow freezing rain and snow in the last week but yesterday it was rain and last night the big freeze. Not a problem until the fat lady deposited our daily rations in a paddock with a mile of sheet ice at the entrance. Heedless!
Negotiating ice is no problem for her highness Annie who has shoes, pads and wicked studs. I gathered myself up at the edge of the ice and then, to the fat lady's horror, stepped onto the ice. Within seconds, I was dancing the tarantella. My little hooves were a blur. Sensing imminent disaster, I made a supreme effort to jump across the abyss and in three desperate bounds crash-landed on the other side.
Mortified, the fat lady hurtled forward to prevent Fred from following but he was unstoppable, doing a respectable foxtrot, mostly on the spot. His solution, go faster, merely created the momentum to catapult him across the ice, landing on his butt with a sad little donkey "mmmph" but struggled up and made it onto dry land.
The fat lady rushed into the barn for rock salt and coated the offending surface liberally. However, as she drove to work she mulled over the very real possibility that we would stay in this paddock until spring rather than risk our necks in the donkey ice-skating Olympics.
- December 16, 2008 at 1:40 PM
- ponymaid said...
Buddy, you have my sincere condolences. I had no idea that the new ice age had stretched so far south already. Has your woman made any progress on getting you your own donkey? At least then you would have someone to commiserate with when the weather is disgusting.
Ah yes, Ginger, you have described the wasteland of winter in all it's horror. We have had similar conditions but Jack and I just stay in the run-in and let the others brave the skating rink. Yesterday it was the woman madly rotating one leg in circles as she spun of the ice, using the other leg to balance and trying not to drop the hay she was carrying. It made for a momentary bright moment in a dark day.

Tom Geviss Joins MasterCraft Racing As Co-Driver For SCORE Desert Races
Tom Geviss brings a wealth of knowledge to MasterCraft Racing
As the 2010 SCORE International desert racing series unfolds, MasterCraft Racing continues to solidify their position at the front of the premier SCORE Trophy Truck class. First, MasterCraft Racing put desert and short-course off-road racing legend, Rob MacCachren, in a Rockstar Energy-sponsored Jimco truck for the entire 2010 season. Then, for the second and notoriously roughest desert competition of the SCORE series, MasterCraft Racing managed to put all three of their Jimco trucks in the top ten of the crowded SCORE Trophy Truck class during the San Felipe 250. Now, MasterCraft Racing has once again "uped the ante" by securing "Turbo Tom" Geviss as the co-driver of the No. 30 SCORE Trophy Truck campaigned by driver of record and MasterCraft Safety CEO, Robbie Pierce.
"Turbo Tom" will be co-driving the #30 SCORE Trophy-Truck
"I don't think I could find a more experienced co-driver on Earth," Pierce commented. "Tom has done it all. Whether it is desert racing, rock-crawling or navigating through Dakar, Tom epitomizes the ideal co-driver I want sitting in my right seat. His level of experience undoubtedly elevates our sport and my team," added Pierce. During his 30 years of racing in both the driver's and passenger's seats, Geviss has accumulated five Baja 1000 victories and numerous class and series championships as well. Tom was also named the driver of record for the Man race support vehicle for Robby Gordon's 2009 Dakar program in the H3 Hummer. Navigating the treacherous and diverse South American terrain in the Man race support vehicle has added an incredible level of experience to Geviss' already impressive resume. "I am confident that Robbie and I can add a few more trophies to the mantle," said a smiling Geviss. Pierce joins a who's-who list of talent that has teamed with "Turbo Tom", including off-road royalty such as Larry Ragland, Jon Nelson, Robbie Gordon, NASCAR's Jimmie Johnson, John Marking, and most recently, Jesse James.
Robbie Pierce races through the desert
Geviss's new home will be in the No. 30 Jimco-built SCORE Trophy Truck outfitted with MasterCraft Safety 3G suspension seats and complimented by MasterCraft Safety five-point restraints and SFI-approved 3.2A/5 MasterCraft Safety race suit. MasterCraft Safety's full-line of performance seating offers both comfort and protection in high "G" load situations and provides an 84% reduction of energy in a 50 G load impact.

At Minaya Learning Global Solutions we select one non-profit each year to support the development of their Strategic Plan. Over the past three years, we have helped three local non-profits develop their strategic plans. Dr. Robert Zemsky, a top professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education, often shared his philosophy of organizations needing to be "mission-centered and market-smart." This means ensuring you are being true to your mission and understanding the dynamic changes that take place in your respective markets and communities.
Here are some of the key points a non-profit Executive Director, Chair and/or Executive Committee Member should consider when beginning the development of a strategic plan.
Revisiting the Mission and Vision of the organization
To further ground the board and other participants who may be involved in the strategic planning process, the following questions should be thought about and discussed:
What makes our mission relevant to today's changing world?
What makes our vision relevant in today's changing world?
The answers to these questions provide a solid foundation when determining the strategy and direction and when a multitude of ideas and opportunities are presented.

LightSquared said on Tuesday that it will lay off nearly half of its employees after the Federal Communications Commission last week blocked the company's plans for a nationwide 4G network that testing shows interferes with GPS signals.
LightSquared said it will layoff nearly half of its 330 employees, calling the move a "prudent and necessary cost-saving measure to ensure the long-term success of the company." The FCC last week dealt the Reston, Virginia, company a severe setback when it revoked permission for LightSquared to move ahead with its wireless network after military and FAA tests showed its signals would block signals to many GPS receivers.
With its** plans for a nationwide 4G wireless network** all but dead, LightSquared said it will now focus on the satellite services side of its business. "The company remains committed to managing its core business operations, serving the more than 300,000 government, public safety and commercial users of its satellite service," LightSquared said in a statement.
Although the apparent imminent threat to GPS appears to have abated, the LightSquared saga might flare up again at some point. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Philip Falcone, the money manager who staked his hedge fund on the wireless network startup, has hired lawyers to formulate a strategy aimed at reversing the FCC's decision.

On the Mag 315 (which may be totally different) I go Setup->Coord System->Primary->Lat/Lon, and then I get an option as to which format for Lat/Lon I want. This is a little long-winded, but I haven't yet found an easier way.
It should be fairly easy for Groundspeak to put up a web-based converter script, a few lines of Perl should do it. Alternatively, put in code to display all co-ordinates in the different formats on the pages themselves.
There is a clickable button on each cache that converts the co-ords to several other common co-ords, including what you want.
However, the accepted practice seems to be to use another button on the cache page to download info to EasyGPS, then use a cable to upload the waypoint to your GPS.

Rule the Roles is the maiden venture by the sons of the erstwhile Khan Chacha of the Khan Market hole-in-the-wall fame, where the family used to make kebabs, tikka and rolls using their heirloom recipes and expert know-how. We have all grown up eating the rolls in that alley which then exploded and grew to the franchised giant we know today. Rule the Rolls, strives to bring back their golden days of fame with their signature kebabs and rolls. We tried the kakori kebab and the spicy chicken tikka, and the mutton tikka roll. The kakori is not your regular variety, rather a more seekh kebab version of it with a bite to it, but the pungency of the meat and subtle spices make it as unique as it is tasty. The spicy chicken tikka was perfectly cooked and the garlic notes in the marinade were a big hit. It also does a great mint and yoghurt chutney with their meats, which as simple as it might sound, can be hard to get just right, so the patrons are happy munching onions and chutney while they wait for the prize.
Rule The Rolls At Galleria Market Is Serving Lip-Smacking Kebabs & Rolls
What Makes It Awesome
What Could Be Better?
Their location puts them at a little disadvantage since it is one of the last shops in the market facing inward to the residential block, but where there is a will to kebab, there is a way. Also, I'm not a fan of the name, which would probably be a reason you might walk past it the first time, but never judge a book by its cover, or in this case, an establishment by its name.
What's My Pro Tip?
To find the store, stand in front of Khan Chacha, don't walk in but turn left and around the corner, to see this small eatery on the left.
Anything Else?
The haleem was sold out for the day and was a miss for us, but we did not have the appetite to try the korma, but those are definitely on the list for the next trip we make to Gurgaon.
Also On Rule The Rolls
