It wasn't very patriotic, but I spent my Memorial Day at the mall.
Those who know me, know I do not enjoy shopping. Rarely does the shopping bug hit me. I can usually barely drag myself to H.E.B.
My motto is if I can't find it at Wal-Mart I don't really need it.
My aversion to shopping is only made worse by my limited ability to drive in San Antonio. I can make it to a couple of places, but much maneuvering and traffic throws off my game, and I am out.
Well, we have a wedding to attend this weekend, and everyone in the family needs something new. A new dress, a white shirt, some slacks, shoes all the good stuff. I've known for months, but of course, I had put it off, and so, it was time.
My husband had been out of town, but came in for the day, so I asked him to please take us to the mall. Just what he wanted to do on his holiday.
Now, the mall is basically a foreign place to me. The first time I stepped foot in the mall I was in 8th grade, and now typically trek there only once a year.
Too many choices….What store to enter, what to eat. It's a bit overwhelming for me.
The other problem I have in shopping is that I have an idea of what I want. That sounds great right? But no, it isn't, because exactly what I want is never there. So, for example, just searching for a white shirt EXACTLY like I wanted just about drove me nuts.
My husband is a much better shopper than me. He had headed to Dillards and loaded up on 3 shirts, 2 pair of slacks, all on sale.
When we met back up, he was done with shopping and growing impatient, but all I had in my bag was a shirt for someone else's child.
So, off we head into yet another cute shop, looking for the perfect dress for my daughter. We saw one on a mannequin. We thought it just might be the one! But, of course, they only had one dress left, and it was a size too big. So, I decided to ask for help (o.k. my husband forced me to ask for help). The salesgirl said yes, that is the size you need on the mannequin. Being the smart sales girl she was she found the same dress in black and said try this one on first and if it works for you we will get the other one off the mannequin.
Perfect. Off we headed to the fitting room….And again, I'm not real familiar with the ins and outs of malls, so when we heard people knocking on doors and asking questions we pretty much ignored them and went on about our business.
When we stepped out the door another sales lady stood there and said "really fast Spanish words I couldn't make out" I looked at her, quizzically, I am sure, and thought, "No habla español" but instead I said "Que?" She repeated what she said. The only thing I really made out this time was "Negro" I said, "No, we want the orange one off of the mannequin." She said "Oh, they told me you spoke Spanish and then you said 'que' so I really thought you spoke Spanish."
It was pretty funny, and maybe you had to be there, but I think it sums up my feeling at the mall. Not my language. But, we did get a few things. We ended up with ALMOST all that we need, so I bet I'm gonna end up at Wal-Mart later this week getting the last of the supplies.

What's in My Bag: A candid discussion with some of the nation's greatest peripheral interventionalists—including equipment preferences, technical tips, and insights into the future of peripheral intervention.
This week in "What's in My Bag": A sit-down with Dr. Michael Bacharach
Medical School: University of Wisconsin
Clinical Training:
Internal Medicine: Mayo Clinic with emphasis in Vascular Medicine
Cardiology: Mayo Clinic, Rochester Minnesota
Interventional training: Mayo Clinic, Rochester Minnesota
Peripheral Intervention Training: Cleveland Clinic
Hobbies: Hunting and Fishing
Who or what was your inspiration for a career in vascular medicine?
Dr. Bacharach: Ernst Schneider, a Swiss-German angiologist, gave a lecture at the Mayo Clinic in 1986. He demonstrated all kinds of novel therapies including clot extraction and catheter-based lytic therapy—things nobody was doing and the time. I was enthralled. I thought, "that is what I want to do". I met with the head of the Mayo Clinic at the time and ultimately designed a new curriculum for myself which included Interventional Radiology and Vascular Surgery. This then allowed me to do a full year of dedicated vascular intervention training at the Cleveland Clinic.
How did you find Sioux Falls?
Dr. Bacharach: I had friends in Sioux Falls, South Dakota: I gave a talk out there while I was still working in Cleveland. It was an integrated group that included cardiac surgeons who performed most of the vascular work. Initially I declined when they asked if I was interested. After a few years in the Cleveland Clinic, it became clear that I needed to find a new home. I called them and I have been there for 20 years.
Describe clinical practice in Sioux Falls? How would you describe the pace?
Dr. Bacharach: Last year we did 760 vascular cases. This is one of the benefits of living in a geographically isolated region with a large catchment area.
Do you still practice coronary intervention?
Dr. Bacharach: I consider myself a vascular medicine guy who trained in cardiology. I rarely perform coronary intervention, though I am current developing a TAVR program and perform 4-5 TAVRs a month.
What is your favorite vascular intervention? How many do you do a year and what devices do like to use?
Dr. Bacharach: Aortic endografting. I performed 90 endografts last year. When I was at Cleveland I saw the initial endograft devices being developed. I worked very hard to bring that technology to Sioux Falls and was one of the first interventional cardiologists to really take an interest in it. I have used all of the current modular devices (Cook , Medtronic, and Gore) and unibody devices, they all work very well.
Do you preferentially use any of them?
Dr. Bacharach: My father drove a Ford. He liked Fords. Our neighbor liked Chevrolets. I can't tell you that any of them shines above and beyond. There are some nuance differences, such as supra-renal fixation, which the Cook and Medtronic devices have and the Gore device does not. I don't really see that as a drawback. We currently do about 80% of our volume with the Gore device.
What about newer devices such as AFX Endovascular AAA system® (Endologix, Irvine California) and Ovation® (Trivascular, Santa Rosa, California) device?
Dr. Bacharach: The AFX Endovascular AAA system® (Endologix, Irvine California) is a useful unibody device. When we employ snorkeling techniques to salvage the internal iliac arteries, we will often use this. Gore has some new branch preserving devices that we are currently involved with in trials. Ovation Prime™ (Trivascular, Santa Rosa, California) is interesting. We don't use it in the acute setting (rupture) but for short necks and other scenarios it is appealing.
Do the caliber of the devices affect how you think about them and use them?
Dr. Bacharach: Both the AFx™ Endovascular system and Ovation Prime™ are smaller and lend themselves to percutaneous strategies. However, I have used preclose technique for all of my endografts. Whether I go percutaneous is dictated more by common femoral artery anatomy. If you are careful and use good technique you can use percutaneous techniques with all of them.
Moving on to lower extremity interventions, give us some insight into how you approach femoropopliteal occlusive disease?
Dr. Bacharach: If I can access antegrade I will. I use a 6 French sheath and either an angled glidewire or an Terumo Advantage™ (Terumo® Medical Corporation). If I have gone extraluminal, I will reenter with 0.014 CTO wires or a V18. I am "old-school" and really never use crossing devices. Perhaps this is because I am cost-conscious. I very rarely require a reentry tool, but I use the Outback when necessary.
Do you believe in atherectomy?
Dr. Bacharach: Not really. I think of it like a niche device. I found that with atherectomy I was getting similar restenosis as I did with stenting, but I could place a stent in a fraction of the time. So, I rarely use atherectomy devices. I reserve its use for specific anatomical locations. Isolated short popliteal artery segments that I am trying to avoid stenting, or ostial profunda lesions in a patient with prior common femoral endarterectomy and profundaplasty.
Would you describe yourself and a stenter or stent-minimizer?
Dr. Bacharach: I am a stenter. I am trying to get the best luminal result that I can at the initial presentation. I balloon and stent. I do not want to come back. We used to see short-segment SFA stenoses that responded well to balloon angioplasty, but I just don't see those anymore. That's not the patient population that I treat. The pattern of disease seems to have changed. I find myself looking after a sicker and older patient population with multi-level more extensive disease.
When you stent, what do you like to use?
Dr. Bacharach: For routine superficial femoral arteries arteries and longer lesions I have gone with mostly Medtronic nitinol self-expanding stents. In terms of DES, I tend to use Zilver® PTX® (Cook Medical, Bloomington, Indiana) in restenosis after seeing some of Zeller's work. I rarely use Zilver PTX® as a first stent. There are a few other intriguing stents on the market. The SMART® stent (Cordis, Bridgewater, NJ) is interesting and easy to deploy. I am still waiting to see how they fare in the long-term. The Supera® (Abbot Vascular, Abbott Park, Ilinois) stent, which I have been deploying for a few years now, is very useful, though there is a bit of a learning curve with the device. There is a role for it when going across the adductor canal especially when I need to stent the above-knee popliteal artery, though I try to avoid the popliteal when at all possible.
Do you enjoy critical limb ischemia?
Dr. Bacharach: Not really. I think of critical limb ischemia something I have to do part and parcel with providing a full service to patients. Patients with critical limb are challenging patients with a high recurrence rate and are often recalcitrant to medical therapy and risk factor modification. Overall, I find critical limb to be professionally less satisfying than other areas of vascular intervention. I don't shy away from it, but I don't relish it either.
Do you use pedal access? When?
Dr. Bacharach: Not frequently. It is rare that I am not successful in an antegrade fashion. However, desperate measures must be taken by desperate men. In general, I am very conservative about pedal access. I will only access the pedals after an antegrade attempt has failed once or twice. Maybe this happens a handful of times a year. We used to do popliteal access, but I have largely abandoned that because sheath management can be such a problem.
I have heard that you perform catheter directed lysis, do you think the type of catheter matters?
Dr. Bacharach: No, I don't.
What do you think CREST II will demonstrate?
Dr. Bacharach: CREST II will be difficult to recruit for. I'm also concerned about the stent arm since finding experienced operators maybe difficult, compounded by the fact that many operators have such low volumes in the absence of registries.
What is your sense of the BEST trial?
Dr. Bacharach: BEST could be a very important trial. However, it will be dependent on centers in which both surgical and endovascular skill are equivalent.
What made you successful and good at what you do?
Dr. Bacharach: I was fortunate to have had wonderful training at the Mayo and at Cleveland. I worked hard. I was available. And I was always very passionate about what I was doing. Large volume was very helpful. It is like that old joke, "how do you get good judgment? Through experience. How do you get experience? By having bad judgment". I made a lot of sacrifices. I missed lots of soccer games.
What advice would you give to clinicians applying for positions in the field of vascular intervention?
Dr. Bacharach: Many fellows are graduating with a wealth of experiences in their respective training programs. But one has to realize that your training is never truly complete and that you are always evolving. Having the mindset that you are willing to ask for help is important. Coachability is key. We are wary of applicants who are truly overconfident and come out pounding on their chest saying "I want to do complex cases". That is a red flag for us.
Looking at the future of vascular intervention, do you think the future is bleak or bright?
Dr. Bacharach: It depends on your mindset. I think that it is bright for practitioners who are dedicated to vascular intervention and have demonstrated true interest and/or expertise. One has to be willing to see the swollen legs, the blue digits, and the odd vasculitidies. The future might be bleaker for people/coronary interventionalists who are solely interested in expanding their interventional volumes. High-volume centers don't really want people who dabble in vascular intervention. One has to embrace vascular medicine in a more holistic way. You have to carve out an area of expertise and be recognized by your referring practitioners as someone who takes care of people beyond the bread and butter of cardiovascular medicine. With the right mindset, the future is very bright.
This field is constantly changing and fascinating. The level of change in vascular intervention has been monumental and has outpaced the advancements within coronary intervention over the past decade. There will be challenges, especially cost. We have demonstrated that we can look after patients well but expensively. Can we do it cost-effectively? That will be a huge challenge for the interventionalists of the future. Overall, I am high on the future of vascular intervention.

Roma sporting director Gianluca Petrachi has confirmed the Serie A club have made contact with Tottenham over the availability of defender Toby Alderweireld, despite a deal seemingly being in place to sign Atalanta's Gianluca Mancini.
The defender joined Spurs from Atletico Madrid in 2015 for around £11m on a four-year deal, impressing greatly in his first season as he was named the club's player of the season and voted into the PFA Team of the Year.
A release clause in his contract, however - activated when Spurs triggered a one-year extension - allows the Belgian to be sold for just £25m, starting from the beginning of this summer's transfer window until the last two weeks.
Surprisingly, the 30-year-old has only been seriously linked with Roma, despite being one of the best defenders in the Premier League.
Confirming Roma's interest - as reported by Football Italia - Petrachi stated: ''I realise there is a release clause for Alderweireld, but Baldini has a strong rapport with Spurs directors, he worked there for many years and can support Roma in signing Alderweireld.
''If you want to say that Baldini negotiates on our behalf, then that is incorrect. I want it to be clear that he is of support to Roma and in the specific case of Alderweireld is an idea to help us save a bit of money.
''We'd be happy if we could sign him tomorrow without paying the release clause.''
#Mancini alla @OfficialASRoma in prestito con obbligo dall'@Atalanta_BC: operazione da 21 milioni più bonus @SkySport #calciomercato— Gianluca Di Marzio (@DiMarzio) July 16, 2019
However, it seems Roma have averted their gaze elsewhere, with Gianluca Di Marzio stating the Italian side have agreed a deal to sign Atalanta defender Gianluca Mancini on loan with an obligation to buy for €21m.
Spurs have in turn been linked to 20-year-old Roma winger Nicolo Zaniolo, with reports suggesting a potential part-exchange in the Alderweireld deal. The Italian scored six goals in his debut season for the club, having joined from Inter last summer.
However, Petrachi was quick to shut down those rumours, explaining: ''What I can say is that today Zaniolo is not on the market. We evaluate everything, but must also be clear.''

Responsive Images: If you're just changing resolutions, use srcset. If you're implementing responsive images (different images in HTML for different situations) and all you are doing is switching between different versions of the same image (the vast majority of usage), all you need is the srcset attribute on the <img>.
Responsive Images: The Ultimate Guide. Chances are that any Web designers using our Ghostlab browser testing app, which allows seamless testing across all devices simultaneously, will have worked with responsive design in some shape or form.
And as today's websites and devices become ever more varied, a plethora of responsive images techniques are appearing to serve developers' needs. However, responsive design can seem like a minefield. The sheer range of responsive image options on the Web is daunting – and that's before you get into facing the obstacles specific to the site you're working on. But have no fear! Below is a basic outline of what responsive images are, how they can affect your work process, and some of the key defining factors that we think should apply to any designer's thinking, whichever route you choose... Making SVGs Responsive with CSS. An article on how to make embedded SVGs cross-browser responsive.
We're going to cover embedding techniques, how to apply the "Padding Hack" and how to use inline media queries to make SVGs adaptive. An SVG can be embedded on a web page in many ways; one of which is embedding it inline in an HTML5 page using the <svg> tag. The other commonly used techniques include embedding it as an image using the <img> tag, embedding it using the <object> tag, using an iframe, and as a CSS background image. Conceptually, making an SVG scale as its container scales should be as simple as removing any fixed height and/or width, and specifying a viewBox attribute value.
However, due to different browser implementations and inconsistencies, the web isn't all ponies and rainbows, and making SVGs fluid isn't quite that straightforward, because the way browsers determine the dimensions of an SVG when embedded in different ways isn't consistent across all of them. Implementing Responsive Images - O'Reilly Media Free, Live Events. 10AM PT, San Francisco 1pm - New York | 6pm - London | 11:30pm - Mumbai | Thu, Feb 26th at 2am - Beijing | Thu, Feb 26th at 3am - Tokyo | Thu, Feb 26th at 5am - Sydney Duration: Approximately 60 minutes.
Cost: Free The key missing ingredient in responsive web design has been a native way for browsers to deliver images tailored to a user's device. Consequently, sites often have delivered large images to all browsers, making pages load slowly (on mobile devices especially) and eating into mobile user's data plan quotas. It has limited artistic control of our sites across devices as well.
Years in the making, a solution is upon us now in the form of HTML's new srcset and sizes attributes and picture element. When and how to use each of these new featuresThe status of their browser supportOptions for browsers that don't support them About Bruce Hyslop Prior to going independent, he spent a decade working for digital agencies. Responsive Images: If you're just changing resolutions, use srcset.
Responsive images. The <img> tag all started with this message and has been with us since HTML 2.0.
In that time it hasn't changed much at all, just put a path to an image in the src attribute and you have an image on the screen. That all worked very well until the need to provide content to people in many different situations with a wide range of screen sizes presented itself. This need brought with it problems that seemed insurmountable at times and were dismissed as temporary by some, but have now been solved by the extraordinary people and work of the Responsive Images Community Group. I didn't follow progress closely but I had a passing interest and saw that they sailed many a stormy sea and were slapped by a few broadsides before getting to this point. The new srcset and sizes explained › Martin Wolf Front End Web Development. Wednesday, 07.
May 2014 Last sunday I sat down on my couch, got comfy and started reading up on the new srcset and sizes syntax. I wanted to understand it and then starting to use it now with the awesome picture/srcset/sizes polyfill picturefill 2. Personal struggle But after some time of reading I had to face it — I just wasn't able to grasp it, to understand the thought behind it and the overall system.
I took a deep breath and started reading again. Responsive Images Done Right: A Guide To <picture> And srcset. On Monday, we published an article on Picturefill 2.01, a perfect polyfill for responsive images.
Today's article complements Tim Wright's article and explains exactly how we can use the upcoming <picture> element and srcset, with simple fallbacks for legacy browsers. There is no reason to wait for responsive images2; we can actually have them very, very soon3. — Ed. "Everything I've said so far could be summarized as: make pages which are adaptable.… Designing adaptable pages is designing accessible pages. And perhaps the great promise of the web, far from fulfilled as yet, is accessibility, regardless of difficulties, to information."– John Allsopp, A Dao of Web Design4 Images5 are some6 of the most7 important8 pieces9 of information10 on the web11, but over the web's 25-year history, they haven't been very adaptable at all. An Event Apart: The Future of Responsive Images. At An Event Apart in Atlanta GA 2014, Mat Marquis walked through the history of developing a responsive images solution for the Web and the solution coming to browsers soon.
Here's my notes from his talk The Past, Present, and Future of Responsive Images: Responsive Web design is made up of three things: a flexible grid, media queries, and flexible images & media. But as developers we've also made responsive design synonymous with large web sites.One of the most common critiques against responsive Web design is that it creates large (file size) Web sites, thereby slowing Web pages down.The average Web page sizes are 1.6MB.
Images are responsible for most of these large sizes. The Web is all about universal access. Tab Completion. This is a basic sketch of a CSSOM Values API, where rather than returning strings for everything, we use proper JS objects.
No more parsing of "5px" for you! Requirements Must faithfully and directly reflect the property grammar in an obvious way. While specialized APIs might be useful to expose on the side, we want to be able to interact with properties in a generic way to help tooling and teaching.Must gracefully handle the kinds of property changes that the CSSWG commonly makes. DOM Level 2 Style failed this, for example, because it made shorthands return null - we pretty regularly make complex properties into shorthands, and this would break code.Must respect JS idioms.

Sorry Sorry – AHHH I love Sorry Sorry ;) Amber does Hae's part lmao. Although they were laughing about it. Everyone's in such a good mood, Shindong improvising lol ;)
Amber's rap – Finally we have a clearer version of her rap from her showcase ;) I like the way she raps, like at certain points she'll just have a really high note. If people didn't know her, they would've mistakened her for a really hot male rapper.
Lachata – I think the dance distracts me a lot so just hearing them sound was really nice. Amber is so cute dancing along ;) The radio station's 95.9 btw (:

The hoodia diet pills, since first appearing in 2004, has been extensively featured on several national television shows such as: The Today Show, Oprah and 60 minutes. There are several brands available as well as they coming in different forms. They are available in health stores as well as on the internet.
The way this natural plant works is it naturally suppresses the appetite. The glucose like chemical it contains, releases itself into the body, primarily in the hypothalamus area of the brain. What it does is it automatically causes the hypothalamus to send a signal indicating that it's already consumed enough food, and is thus full.
The dieter taking this diet supplement will then feel full, even if he or she has eaten very little or no actual food at all. It is similar to fasting but without getting hunger pains. With less food intake in the body, there are then fewer calories and fat to burn. This will help those individuals to control their constant cravings.
When dieting or trying to lose weight, eating more food, more often is not usually the problem, but its more our eating habits. There are certain times during the day that we feel are not hungry, but we still eat some type of snacks anyway, strictly out of habit. The Hoodia Diet Pills enables the dieter to be able to fight off those unnecessary cravings, such as midnight 'potato chip' snacks. The dieter will then be able to control their diet and food intake and not the other way around.
When taking the Hoodia diet pill, the dieters do not have to prepare any meals or calculate their daily calorie intake. They do not have to strictly restrain themselves from food binges. When taken with plenty of water, as well as exercise and a balanced meal, the Hoodia diet can prove to be very effective.
These pill do not have side effects because it is a natural product, and not a drug. The substance comes from a plant, which makes it 100% natural as well as safe. It doesn't contain drugs such as: caffeine, ephedrine or any stimulants. Dieters taking these pill will not experience a queasy stomach, a racing heart beat or anything else related to diets.
Dieters should purchase the genuine Hoodia product, to get the proper results. Due to its exposure and popularity, there are several fake as well as cheap imitations out there, so beware. When buying on the internet, make sure that the Hoodia manufacturer has a CITES certificate, as well as lab tests and analytical reports on its site.
The Hoodia plant is quite rare and expensive. So do not buy from those internet sites that advertise extremely low prices. Consumers should obviously do their own research before buying any diet product online.
Hoodia diet pills are effective when used properly. Dieters should also remember that they should also continue eating well balanced meals as well.

Big news for "This is Us" fans! The show has been renewed for three more seasons by NBC! "Extra's" Renee Bargh was with the cast in New York after the news was announced.
Mandy Moore told us, "It's really big! I think it's all just hitting us." She added, "I love these people so much. I am so excited I get to spend the next three years of my life with them— it's the best job ever."
Moore also dished on her vacation to New Zealand with Eddie Bauer guide Melissa Reid Arnot and upcoming travel plans.
"I absolutely fell in love with that country, it's incredible… The hiking, if you are an adventure person, like I am, there is no better place… I am leaving on Friday to go to Nepal to do Everest base camp… We have four months off so I need to make the best of it before we go back to work for eight months."
View this post on Instagram
There a plethora of reasons #whyihike. It gives me grounding, connection, recalibration. There are oh so many metaphors for the challenges and discomfort that one may face on the trail that can be applied to life in a general sense. It can also be a time of quiet reflection, a time to drink in every frame of new terrain, to stand in wonder at the sheer beauty and magnitude of this planet.... it's truly endless. This trip signifies all of that and more: it's an opportunity to take a break from the chaos of the daily grind, travel to the other side of the world with some of my closest friends and to gently push ourselves out of our comfort zone. Day 1 was a soft landing: a leisurely hike through the verdant foothills of Mount Aspiring National Park. Day 2 of our trip to Wanaka meant a rafting excursion down the west branch of the Matukituki river before a helicopter trip up to the Alpine slopes surrounding us and a summit of Black Peak. Epic! Being in this magnificent country for the past week has consistently taken our collective breath away- I can't wait for what awaits us next. Stay tuned!!! #whyihike #liveyouradventure
Sterling K. Brown was thrilled with the renewal news, saying, "It doesn't happen that often. Nice to have job security. I am happy." As for his character Randall and where his story will go next season, he smiled, saying, "I know exactly where it is going… I can't tell you right now, it will ruin the surprise. I am happy to be building toward something… It's nice to know we have three years to carry it out."
Justin Hartley shared, "It's good news… It's good for us, obviously, it's good for the fans knowing they can invest in something, knowing it's going to be there for a while. It's good for the writers — now they can go much deeper, knowing they aren't writing a story that is 18 episodes, it is 54 episodes."
Chrissy Metz said it is still sinking in and offered, "I did not expect that. Never knowing… if you are going to have that job for six months, a year… but three years!" She added, "To know where the story is going to go and all that — very exciting!"
Milo Ventimiglia confessed, "We all knew it was coming, so to see it actually announced, see the audience reaction all that, it was exciting."

I'm using version 2.7 on pi3B. Yesterday, I installed the Fordson theme plugin. Since then when I enter my login details and hit login, I get this error message "Sorry the requested file could not be found "
I have just created a huge question bank of 940 questions and will be grateful for any help on how to retrieve these or failing that steps on how to reinstall moodlebox without losing my questions.
Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this issue. If so, please point me to the right place
okanta Reminded me of my recent experience here: https://discuss.moodlebox.net/d/118-performance-deteriorated-a-second-time/. I don't say they have the same cause, but the connection to sophisticated themes is stands out. The good news is that my SD has recovered.
Now to your problem. First thing you should try is to return to to the standard Boost theme. Just add this line to /var/www/moodle/config.php:
You know the commend to restart Raspbian, sudo reboot? You can aggressively refresh the MB homepage in the browser. Also purge the browser cache.
sudo reboot
If all that did not help, you should start deleting the server cache. /var/www/moodledata/muc/config.php is a common culprit. There are much more temporary data there which you can delete, but also essential data, so need to very careful.
Thanks Ratna Unfortunately when I tried to open config.php, I got 'No such file or directory' error message.
I have a very basic knowledge of Linux I will be most grateful for detailed instructions going forward.
Again, many thanks
Sorry Ratna, ignore my previous post. I miss-typed the command.
It worked. Thanks Thanks and Thanks again
okanta I am relieved. The Shell is powerful tool - could be too powerful depending on how far the "very basic knowledge" goes! In this case it could have meant losing the data which were there but not showing irrevocably by doing the wrong thing.
@Nicolas, isn't a how-to on duplicating the MB to a second SD card an idea?
Ratna @Nicolas, isn't a how-to on duplicating the MB to a second SD card an idea?
You mean how to duplicate any SD card? (since this is not really a MoodleBox question)
Nicolas True. But many overlook the fact how easily one's own MoodleBox is cloned - unless they have an embedded OS background. The clone is also a simple and cheap full system backup! The OP would have been less worried, if there was a backup - in this case something which does not need any effort to restore.
Ratna But many overlook the fact how easily one's own MoodleBox is cloned
Would you mind giving your procedure? If you think it's so easy, I'll consider add it to the doc.
Nicolas This is how I cloned my MoodleBox 3.1 today on my Linux laptop. For more general methods, others can search the web for Raspbian cloning.
Insert the original SD.

This year's Northern Stage seasonal show for the under sixes is The Christmas Grump, inspired by Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
It features Mr Scratch who owns a toyshop and is very, very rich but also extremely miserable and mean.
Writer Susan Mulholland says: "A Christmas Carol is one of my favourite Christmas stories and has been adapted so many times that it took a while to think of what our particular slant would be.
"The original story is quite an adult story and it's important to me that our audience of very young children feel that this is a story for them and about them.
"Our version is simply about a grumpy man who learns three lessons from three children.
"The fact that this grumpy man also makes toys gives us lots of room to play – quite literally.
"For me, The Christmas Grump is about how to be a better human being and it is also very, very Christmassy."
The show is directed by Mark Calvert who, back in 2007, played Bob Cratchit in Erica Whyman's brilliant production of A Christmas Carol which was that year's main house seasonal production at Northern Stage.
The Christmas Grump has a cast of four. They are Ruth Johnson, who is returning to Northern Stage, and three graduates of NORTH, a troupe set up last year to give talented arts graduates in the region the skills to make it in the world of theatre. They are Alice Blundell, Michael Blair and Alexandra Tahnee.
The Christmas Grump, designed by Andrew Stephenson and with music by Katie Doherty, comes from the same creative team that was behind last year's well-received equivalent show, Tallest Tales from the Furthest Forest.
The show lasts an hour. It runs at Northern Stage until January 3. Box office: 0191 2305151.

Increasingly around the country juries are not buying defendants arguments that boating accidents while under the influence of alcohol should somehow be excused because a boat was involved. In two cases reported here, juries deliberated just a couple of hours before turning thumbs down. And then in both cases judges sentenced the convicted boat drivers to long prison vacations. Happy cruising fellas. There have been enough boating tragedies involving drunk boaters, they happen every week in the summertime, all boats need to have a designated driver when returning from a party. Pass the word on.
15 Years for DUI Manslaughter
After deliberating for three hours, a jury last Thursday evening decided a Clearwater, FL man was responsible for the death of a 21-year-old friend who was killed in a boating accident two years ago.
A judge immediately sentenced him to 15 years in prison.
The defendant was on trial on a charge of boating under the influence-manslaughter. Prosecutors said he had a blood alcohol level more than twice the level at which the state presumes impairment when his 16-foot Hydrosport crashed into a boat at anchor on Lake Tarpon.
The defendant's roommate was mauled by the boat's propeller, which slashed her chest and nearly severed her arm. The roommate died 10 days after the accident.
According to prosecutors, the defendant (now convicted) was operating the boat's throttle as his daughter, who was 10 years old at the time, steered the boat that evening.
20 Years for DUI Assault in Wyoming
A jury, also last Thursday, found a Casper Wyoming man guilty of two counts of aggravated assault for his role in a boat accident last spring that left four people seriously injured.
The defendant, 31, was also found guilty of boating under the influence.
The jury of seven men and five women needed roughly two hours to reach a verdict. The defendant, standing with his attorney, showed no emotion when the announcement was made. The defendant, the boat's owner, and four other people were aboard the vessel when it struck a Fremont Canyon wall at Alcova Reservoir. Everyone aboard suffered severe injuries.
The defendant, an Army veteran, faces more than 20 years behind bars when he is sentenced.
The prosecutor began his closing argument by describing how the boating trip began, the group met and were drinking at a Casper car wash before deciding to take the defendant's boat to the reservoir. They stopped for vodka on the way, the prosecutor said.
Once at the reservoir, the prosecutor said, the already intoxicated defendant had trouble backing his boat into the water. "What's common sense tell you?" the prosecutor said. "This is going to end bad."
The prosecutor reiterated to jurors how numerous witnesses testified during the trial about the defendant's erratic driving of the boat.
Witnesses said the boat suffered two malfunctions, an engine problem and the steering wheel came off , on the day of the crash. Both problems were remedied and the boating expedition continued, according to courtroom testimony.
"What did 90-proof reasoning tell him?" the prosecutor said while pointing toward the defendant. "Party on."
The boat, a 23-foot 1979 Excalibur speedboat, was propelled into the air after hitting a wake. After landing, it made an immediate right turn and hit the canyon wall going at least 26 mph.

Lesson of October 18? Don't tick off a Dunolly-ite!
1938It was reported in the Aussie press that a section of the British Legion, on the way to Czechoslovakia, had created an effigy of Lord Beaverbrook (owner of The Evening Standard and Daily Express) and hung it from the rigging as they resented the advice from his papers to disband the legion to let the Czechs 'sort out their own affairs'.
Sergeant Atherton, formerly of Dunolly, said,
"We were invited to do a job of work, if we were no longer required that was someone else's business not ours. What put us in a better spirits than anything else was making the effigy of a well-known personality whose criticisms we resented. We kicked the effigy good and hard, and woke in the morning to have another go at it but it had disappeared. Probably someone drowned it in the Southend mud".

There has been a long-standing question that hasn't been answered, "which is better when considering Photoshop vs Lightroom"?. When looking at a Photoshop interface and you have very little experience, you could be overwhelmed.
The options and tools offered appear endless and could be confusing when you want to start editing. It is because Photoshop caters for more than daily photographers looking to alter an image.
When you have no experience, you are in all likelihood wondering how and where to start the photo editing and post-processing. While there are numerous other tools online that allow you to alter and adjust your photographs, you have more likely heard about the debate between Lightroom vs Photoshop.
What is Photoshop?
When you look for a gold standard that professional photographers and amateurs use world-wide, you probably don't have to look beyond Photoshop. It is the go-to photo editing tool which Adobe developed to do photo editing.
However, as with all tools and programs, the functionality of Photoshop expanded beyond other programs. You will find that Adobe's photo editing tool is used by photographers, publishers, architects, and graphic designers.
Initially, Adobe created Photoshop as a simple editing tool for images, but since its initial design has evolved into a massive software suite.
It is image editing's Rolls Royce with unlimited potential that can expand even more with third-party software and other plugins from Adobe and more.
What is Adobe Lightroom?
Lightroom is Photoshop's faster and younger brother. Therefore, it should not be confusing when you hear "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom". Both are developments of Adobe and Photoshop was first and is the larger, powerful older brother.
Lightroom software differs from Photoshop as Adobe designed them for different purposes. While Photoshop is immensely powerful, you will find it increasingly difficult to keep images organized when you have hundreds.
Lightroom editing is simplified as it is capable of managing and organizing large numbers of photos. Editing with Lightroom is easy as well when comparing Photoshop vs Lightroom.
It contains some of Photoshop's features which are geared toward contemporary photographers. You will find the majority of the editing manipulation tools in Lightroom. At the same time Lightroom is also great for finding, managing, organizing, importing, as well as editing images. Lightroom is a single tool that does both photo editing as well as photo management.
You are brand new to photo editing
Lightroom is the preferred photo editing software for beginner photographers. It provides users with all the essential tools in a layout that is easy to grasp. When you look at Photoshop, however, customization is needed to set up the workstation which in turn gives you added flexibility that enables you to customize tools even more.
Lightroom vs Photoshop: When Should I Use one over the other?
When shooting raw photos, it is the recommended method to import the images via Lightroom. This is because unlike when using Adobe Photoshop where you will have to use Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom is in itself a raw photo file editor. The other Lightroom capabilities, like management, also allow you to organize the images when you import.
You want to batch process multiple images
In the Photoshop vs Lightroom battle, Lightroom stands as the superior one. It is much easier to do batch processing with a smooth workflow. While Photoshop also does batch processing, you need to use actions.
You value a smooth, straightforward workflow
Comparing Photoshop vs Lightroom even more. As far as the Lightroom workflow is concerned, Lightroom is better. With the smooth, straightforward use of Lightroom you can do batch processing easier and share the photos directly to social media.
So, When Should I Use Photoshop?
It is rather easy to answer, use Photoshop when using Lightroom is not possible. It depends on what photography you do; you could hardly ever or fairly use Photoshop. This is because Photoshop has elements and actions that are superior to Lightroom.
Advanced Retouching
You will need Photoshop when you want to make a person taller, an arm thinner, as it gives you pixel-level control over photos.
Photoshop is the answer when you need to slice and dice images and create one image.
Lightroom has great HDR plugins, but when you want to pull out shadows and highlights or blend images, Photoshop does it better. Lightroom can do it too, but the effect is different.
Lightroom can do panoramas but not as good as Photoshop. Photoshop offers a beautiful panorama when stitching images together.
Advanced Healing
Again you will find that Photoshop can remove small objects, remove stray hairs, blemishes and whiten teeth.
The similarity between Photoshop and Lightroom
In the Adobe Photoshop vs Lightroom battle, you will find that at both their cores they are the same, they are both photo editing software. It differs how they handle these tasks. When you look for software that can enhance, tweak, and alter your images, you can use either. Anyone that asks what is the difference between Lightroom and Photoshop when handling multiple types of files ranging from TIFF, PNG, RAW, JPEG, will find both are similar.
Adobe Camera Raw is the processing engine that is used in Lightroom as well as Photoshop. You will, therefore, find that the editing and control options are similar when you do thinks like working with curves, adjusting saturation or correcting lens disorders.
Lightroom vs Photoshop: Key Differences
File Handling
A significant difference between Lightroom vs Photoshop is that Lightroom does not move images or edit photos itself. Any changes that you make in Lightroom is kept in the Catalog where you get instructions on how to process a photo. It keeps a log of any alterations done in its database while the original photo is kept as is.
Here you get the non-destructive editing feature with Lightroom which is a major difference compared to Photoshop. It also takes up a very small space on the computer hard drive, thus not a negative point.
Editing Tools
Photoshop has a massive number of tools, brushes, and filters that change and edit your images. In addition, Photoshop creates layers of editing too.
By contrast, the Adobe Lightroom software is more flexible, but has fewer editing tools and no layers either. Both these programs have a history panel that gives you the opportunity to check out previous edits but you have more control over editing when layers are added.
Photoshop has additional features and options like video, 3D graphics, and text support which makes it great for any type of editing. This is why Photoshop is such an appealing program to professionals.
Lightroom's trump card when comparing Photoshop vs Lightroom, is the end-to-end workflow.
Lightroom was designed to address the needs of professionals and photography lovers, therefore can it handle everything ranging from photo imports from a memory card to editing, organizing, printing, and sharing them. It also has virtual folders and keyword support to keep track of photos and in addition create a photo book or slideshow.
Adobe Creative Cloud Suite is the parent of both programs. Many ask is Adobe Lightroom free? The answer is no, not for unlimited and ongoing use. To use these programs, users must choose a payment plan for either. You will pay less than $10 per month for both programs. Users can try these programs on a trial basis though.
What you can't do in Lightroom
If you are looking for a simple and quick way to edit photos, then Lightroom is great. In addition, Lightroom does not have layered options for editing. Therefore, you cannot do advanced editing with Lightroom.
What do you do in Photoshop?
Advanced edits are great using Photoshop. You would need to check out free tutorials on how to do advanced editing when using Photoshop. You cannot do raw editing either and you will need to install a plugin.
Ending thoughts on Photoshop vs Lightroom
Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop are both great photo editing tools, they are just not quite the same. When you are a serious photographer it would be great to use both.
When you have quick, basic editing jobs, use the Lightroom, while you can create vector images and advanced image editing with the Adobe Photoshop.

Computer Simulator Analyzes Active Shooter Survival Strategies
Researchers at the Purdue Homeland Security Institute recently tested the efficacy of options-based active shooter responses (commonly known as: Run. Hide. Fight. ®) by applying them to a computer simulation. The research team built controls into the simulation and utilized the Columbine High School library (including the actual locations of the victims and shooters during the incident) as a model for the test.
Researchers ran several different individual responses through the simulation and found that hiding was the most dangerous type of response, and led to the highest rate of casualties. When the responses of run and fight were implemented, there were far fewer casualties. As an individual survival strategy, physical resistance ("fight" or "overcome") was by far the most effective response. When all three responses (run, hide, fight) were initiated based on the proximity of the shooter/s to the potential victim, survival rates were higher than individual responses.
Key Learning Points:
- Options-based responses are more effective than individual responses during an active shooter incident.
- Most students (especially younger students) are only taught to "lock down" or "shelter in place" during an active shooter situation. This is not always the best response, and can lead to higher casualty rates in certain scenarios.
- The H.E.R.O. concepts – HIDE! ESCAPE! RUN! OVERCOME! – are options-based responses presented to students in an age-appropriate context. Students as young as kindergarten can learn these responses without being traumatized and stay safer during a violent incident.
Middle School Student Shot at Basketball Competition
On Friday, June 21st at approximately 7:30 p.m., a fight broke out at a basketball competition being held at Carman-Ainsworth High School in Flint, Michigan. According to reports, "hundreds" of visitors were present in the gymnasium when a major fight – involving approximately 70 people – erupted and spilled out into a parking lot. Amidst the ensuing chaos, 15-year-old Eithan Williams was struck once in the chest by gunfire. Several vehicles were hit as students fled the shooting. Eithan Williams was initially listed in critical condition but is now expected to make a full recovery. Four juveniles were arrested in connection with the shooting.
Key Learning Points
- Although this shooting did not occur during school hours, students of various ages were involved.
- At the time of the shooting, a student musical was being held in the school's theater. Students and attendees were affected by this incident and were forced to react accordingly.
- The gym was rented from the high school by an organization hosting a basketball competition. If applicable, ensure that your facility rental agreements address security concerns and are not sources of potential conflict.
- Two police officers (hired as event security) were present at the basketball competition. Review your school safety plan and ensure sufficient security and crowd control measures are in place.

Year In Review: The pessimist's take on the 2019 Kansas football season
Editor's Note: Before the 2019 Kansas football season began, I took a stab at a couple of different viewpoints on what was to come.
The first belonged to the optimist and was a look ahead at KU's first season under Les Miles from the perspective of those who believed there were plenty of reasons to be hopeful. The second belonged to the pessimist and was just the opposite.
Now that the run is over and Miles and the Jayhawks have put the finishing touches on their 3-9 season, it's time to do the same by looking back at the season that was and all that came with it.
After examining the optimist's view first, we're looking at the year in review from the eyes of the pessimist today.
If the ho-hum, same-old 3-9 record wasn't enough to leave you pessimistic about the state of the Kansas football program, there were plenty of specific moments during the 2019 season that likely did the trick.
And, no, I'm not just talking about last Saturday's 61-6 beatdown by Baylor in the season finale.
The 38-10 loss to Kansas State, the 31-13 loss at Oklahoma State and, yes, everyone's favorite, that 12-7 home loss to Coastal Carolina in Week 2, all factored into how this season would be remembered.
But whether you focus on the win total, the moments of offensive ineptitude or the opportunities to win that just weren't captured, the most difficult part about the latest Kansas football campaign in the eyes of the pessimists is that it left them with the same two-word question that they've had for the past decade — now what?
Was enough of a foundation put in place in Year 1 of the Les Miles era to make people think better days are ahead? Who will play quarterback for the Jayhawks next season? And can Kansas score enough points on a consistent basis to compete in the Big 12 Conference or win on the road?
All of those have been common questions during the past nine years and they all still exist today. Anyone who thought they wouldn't was probably five slices deep into a little pie in the sky. But the fact that they remain heading into the 2020 season is not exactly encouraging.
There were plenty of reasons and plenty of players to get excited about during the past few months. But there never were quite enough.
What's more, just about every time the Jayhawks did something to get the fan base fired up and ready to see what came next, they fell flat the following week and snatched away the enthusiasm as quickly as it arrived.
In short, no matter what they thought was going to happen, Kansas fans sat by scratching their heads while watching the opposite unfold — both good and bad.
No one saw the Boston College win coming after the Week 2 effort against Coastal Carolina. But after it did, everyone thought West Virginia was there for the taking one week later. The result? A Mountaineers team that finished 5-7 walked into Lawrence and won an uninspired game by both teams.
Later, after nearly upsetting Texas in Austin (again, no one saw that coming) and beating Texas Tech at home, Jayhawk fans were fired up to finally see a competitive Sunflower Showdown. So much so that they sold out KU's home stadium for the first time in a decade. The result? Well, it looked an awful lot like so many other KU-KSU clashes in recent years, with the Wildcats winning easily in a game that was nowhere near as close as the 38-10 final score indicated.
It wasn't all bad, of course. And there was a genuine sense around the program that it was worth tuning in each week because at least you were going to get a team that was capable of competing. They didn't always do that. But this season's struggles were as much about not finishing as anything else.
Of course, for every KU fan who likes to point out that the Jayhawks were 26 points away from being a 7-5 football team, there's another one who realizes that they also were 10 points away from being 1-11. So it goes with Kansas football, year after year after year.
And if that type of inconsistent uncertainty doesn't bring out a little pessimist in everyone, more power to those who can avoid it.
KU's special teams were anything but special. The defense took a major step backwards, from being one of the top turnover-producing units a year ago to tied for last in that category this season and 122nd (of 130) in total defense. And the offense, as much as people wanted to believe it was, at times, as explosive as any in college football, still had too many quarters, halves and games of nothingness, which put the group 91st in the nation in total offense.
That's not going to get it done. And while the possibility certainly exists for KU to improve and build from here, a quick look at the key players departing from this year's roster illustrates that improvement of any kind in Year 2 might be tough to expect.
Now what, you ask? Brace yourselves for more of the same.
Len Shaffer
Yep. And what's even more disheartening is that for those of us who have been KU fans for decades, we've seen many more years like this than just in the last 10 years. There have been flashes of brilliance, even for a whole season or two, only to be let down time and time and time again.
Yet ... we've never quite had a coach like Miles. So I'll keep believing that Lucy actually WON'T pull the ball away this time and in two or three years we'll finally have some kind of real, lasting foundation. Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?
Brett McCabe
What you are hoping to see is the Year One to Year Two bump that good coaches traditionally create.
The first step was getting a big list of early commits. Since we haven't heard of any recent decommits, it seems that most of that class will be on campus next year. This was a huge, huge step forward for the program - getting guys mentally onboard early. Of course, closing the deal is crucial.
I'll be interested to see if Miles stands pat on the defensive side of the ball. He's in a tough spot right now: you don't want to mess up recruiting by making a staff change but if you want to make a staff change, you don't want to miss out on a good candidate. My guess is that he rolls with the current staff for another year.
Substantial progress next year would be 4 wins. Solid progress would be 3 wins with a significantly improved point differential, followed by another solid recruiting class. Without the four wins, though, recruiting will get tougher.
At least we have a coach, the support staff and the facilities (outside of the stadium) in place to actually compete now.
Dane Pratt
Let's see if he can get out of the gates from the very start because it took two weeks for this team to get going. That should not happen in year two.
Dane Pratt
I'm more optimistic after Miles first season than I was about his predecessors mostly because of his track record as a head coach. But it's scary to think what will become of KU football if he is unable to turn this around. If an experienced head coach with his success is unable to get us back on track then who can.
Steve Corder
It all starts and ends with the QB.
Many examples abound.
The conversion of Nolan Cromwell from defense to QB is just one.
Robert Griffin was electrifying, a discovery by a suffering Baylor program at the time (2-6 conference record his freshman yr. & Briles 1st: the previous year Baylor was 3-9 & 0-8).
Jeff Kallmeyer
We have to become competitive on the O & D lines! We are clearly the worst in the Big 12.
Titus Canby
I'm with you Jeff Kallmeyer. Going into the season, there was a lot of talk about O-line being our strength. As we discovered in the very first game, that wasn't the case. Pooka can't get consistent gains if he's hit in the backfield every time. And no QB can hit open receivers when they're constantly running for their lives.
Three years ago, Baylor went 1-11 with a team that started 21, maybe even 22 freshmen. Guess who the one win was against. Anyway, now look at Baylor. If we have a stud class of freshmen coming in, I'm ok biting the bullet on a bad year for the promise of the 11-1 season Baylor has this year.
If anyone can make this turn-around happen, I'm betting on Les Miles and Jeff Long.
Dirk Medema
Last year we were 3 close losses away from being bowl eligible, which obviously was the coaches' fault.
This year we were also 3 close losses away from bowl eligible. There were also 3 other first year coaches. We lost to 2 of the 3 and with a significant regression against one of them. We also lost once again to a non-power conference team.
I'll remain optimistic for the future but have a hard time seeing this year as a success. Maybe treading water or a headbob.
It is good that we have an essentially full recruiting class though it is definitely lacking in Star power and big uglies. Not sure there is anyone that should be expected to contribute in year one, which puts us that much further away from relevance. We'll see what happens with player development.
Brett McCabe
Of the four first-year coaches in the league, who inherited the worst program? In fact, who inherited the worst program in the country in FBS? Winning one of those three is actually a solid accomplishment. Beating a bowl team from the ACC on the road was a solid accomplishment. Miles won as many games in year one as Beaty did in year four - and he did it without knowing the players, having to assemble a staff on the run and recruit a class in a matter of weeks.
It's clear that we are light years ahead in the coaching department - but it's still going to be a grind.
Layne Pierce
Next year, we will really see the test of Miles system. We take serious losses on paper, and we don't have hardly any offensive or defensive line recruits, so what you see, is what you get.
One facet of attack that I truly believe Miles would have done, if it had been possible, was a running game to use clock time, keep us in games, and give the defensive some rest.
Our line was just not good enough to do that. Pooka does a lot of it on his own, and that is a crying shame.
One thing that is going under the radar, is that Carter Stanley had a hell of a senior year. And the other thing is the mystery of why Beatty just wouldn't give a chance. His fellow players liked him, and they played hard for him.
Fact is if he would have played all of last year, he would have been even better this year, and he is now in the top 5 all time for KU touchdown in a season and career.
Look for some position changes with mixed results.

I was driving back to work today from lunch, windows open. It's hot, kinda muggy. (Well, I've lived in the South, so I have to say "hot and muggy for Oregon".) I came up behind a Lilac GTO some dude was keeping alive. Gorgeous land yacht with a lei hanging from her rear-view mirror to match her paint job. Carpet matches the drapes, huh? When it took off from the traffic light, the smell of its big Detroit exhaust fumes, mingled with humid air and hot asphalt, probably a touch of junk food on the wind, it all transported me. I was a sophomore in Fayeteville, NC, mid-90s, riding around in the rusted deathtrap Camaro my buddy Mike's parents had senteced him to. Not a big poignant moment in my life. But it's just strange and powerful how a smell can reset your life. For a few seconds my brain, my emotional state, everything going on in my head was as it was back then. And then it was gone. Back to me, here, now.
The words are hard to find, but there's something really powerful there that isn't used enough in writing. Maybe if we had evolved from dogs our writing would be more olfactory-focused. Or maybe we'd be just the same as we are now, but with the ability to lick our own balls. Who knows, it's a mystery, but I'll try to remember this and use scent and memory to greater effect in my writing.

Jennifer Aniston isn't holding anything back when it comes to people she says have shamed her.
In the December issue of Marie Claire, the actress opened up about not having children, her 2005 divorce from Brad Pitt and her powerful blog she wrote for The Huffington Post, entitled For The Record.
"My marital status has been shamed; my divorce status was shamed; my lack of a mate had been shamed; my nipples have been shamed," the 47-year-old shared with the glossy. "It's like, why are we only looking at women through this particular lens of picking us apart? Why are we listening to it? I just thought: I have worked too hard in this life and this career to be whittled down to a sad, childless human."
But while the former "Friends" star isn't afraid to address the naysayers, don't think the negativity has any effect on her current marriage to fellow actor and screenwriter Justin Theroux, whom she gushed about in the interview.
"Why is he the right person for me? All I know is that I feel completely seen, and adored, in no matter what state," Aniston revealed. "There's no part of me that I don't feel comfortable showing, exposing. And it brings forth the best part of myself, because I care about him so much. And he's such a good person. It hurts me to think of anything hurting him."
Her full interview in Marie Claire will be on newsstands November 15.
And if you can't get enough of Jen, her new movie "Christmas Office Party" is set to hit theatres in December.
