If US President Obama is waiting to see if the Afghanistan government is worth escalating a war for, well, it looks like he's got some time on his hands.
Presidential challenger, Abdullah Adbullah apparently plans to boycott next week's run-off election against the much-criticized incumbent, President Hamid Karzai.
With the initial reason for the US invasion of Afghanistan as long forgotten as the reasons for its occupation of Iraq, the Administration was pinning all its hopes on escalating its military presence in the country to back democracy, even if the head of that democracy had to be a discredited US puppet with no credibility outside factions of Kabul.
Now, democracy has taken another severe body blow, and the raison d'ete of Obama's troop escalation has been soundly mooted.
And, on the bais of logic, if the war can't be won without troop escalation, it is lost.
Good. The country, as everyone knows, belongs to the warlords anyway.
As was once said of the British in Ireland: it's time to give it back to them and apologize.

The UK is "effectively incapable" of launching an effective military offensive against a belligerent foe like Russia, experts have claimed.
Defence cuts resulted in "hollowing out or deletion of the army's deployed capabilities" and rendered the force unprepared if the country was dragged into a conflict, the Centre for Historical Analysis and Conflict Research said.
Following two days of seminars, retired and serving military generals warned the risk of losing the army's one remaining fighting division in an afternoon will "weigh heavily" on commanders.
Their report reflected what the UK's capabilities would be if Russia flexed its muscles and attacked a Nato ally in Europe.
The British Army stands 83,000, its lowest level since the Napoleonic Wars at the beginning of the 19th century. It has shrunk by 20,000 from when the coalition government came to power almost seven years ago.
Experts warned the reduced size meant the risk of losing the army's one remaining fighting division in an afternoon will "weigh heavily" on commanders. The Times reported that a paper prepared by the think tank concluded while there were no imminent threats to the UK there were "plausible scenarios" that could see Britain embroiled into conflict if one country attacked another.
"This raises an important question: is the British Army ready for such a possibility? If one merely sees preparedness through net manpower and kinetic force capacity, the answer might be a simple 'no': the British Army is at its smallest and has faced years of budget cuts," the paper said.
The army is down to just one deployable division, down from nine during the Cold War and 90 during World War One.
The last time a division was deployed was in Iraq in 2003 and military personnel now believe Britain would be unable to commit anything more than a brigade of 10,000 troops.
The Ministry of Defence said "the army is ready and capable of deploying a potent, large-scale, war-fighting force at divisional level with sufficient notice".

A car is a wheeled, self-powered motor vehicle used for transportation. Most definitions of the term specify that cars are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods.[3][4] The year 1886 is regarded as the birth year of the modern car. In that year, German inventor Karl Benz built the Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Cars did not become widely available until the
The Cars are an American rock band that emerged from the early New Wave music scene in the late 1970s. The band consisted of lead singer and rhythm guitarist Ric Ocasek, lead singer and bassist Benjamin Orr, guitarist Elliot Easton, keyboardist Greg Hawkes and drummer David Robinson. The band originated in Boston, Massachusetts, and were signed to Elektra Records by George Daly,[1] then A&R head, in 1977.[2] The Cars were at the forefront in merging 1970s guitar-oriented rock with the new synth-oriented
Just six months ago, a green 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO built for Sir Stirling Moss traded hands for $35 million, making it the most expensive car ever sold. That record may not stand another month if an anonymous American seller gets his asking price of $41 million for his 250 GTO — a sign that the market for Enzo Ferrari's most famous race cars may soon overheat. Offered for sale by a London broker, there's little public detail about which one of the 39 known GTOs has been put on the market. It's
Cars The reason I decided to write my research paper on cars is because they're very interesting to me, and I really like them. I first started to be interested in cars when I was thirteen, after I got hit by one. I also chose to research cars because I would like to learn more about them, because I'm almost old enough to be driving. I don't know much about cars, but I think they were invented about one hundred years ago by a man named Henry Ford. The first generation of cars were called
Cars In the world there are different kinds of cars with purposes. The most famous cars are Lamborghini, Porch, Ferrari, BMW, Bugatti, Camaro, Mercedes, Vipper, and Corvette. These cars are super fast and super expensive. Just the people who have good jobs can buy these cars. These cars come from different parts of the world. In this essay I will convince you that the fastest cars are Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Ferrari. The Gallardo is Lamborghini most produced model to date, with

Why Esports is a real sport.
It has been hotly debated as to weather or not esports should be considered a sport. Gaming is one of the big up and coming industries, surpassing both the music ($17 billion) and film ($41 billion) industries in 2017 with a colossal $116 billion dollars at the end of 2017.
It's also played all over the world over many different games and platforms. Esports should be considered a sport because it is one of the great up and coming industries. It appears that anything that's skill and strategy based should be considered a sport and the sooner we accept it, the sooner we can get young people out of their bedrooms and into the spotlight. Over 60% of the gaming community are under the age of 35, which shows that it is a promising industry with a big community of support all the way through.
What is a sport?
A sport is an activity involving physical exertion and skill, in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. By this definition gaming can be classed as a sport alongside favourites such as football and rugby.
If it's not physical, how can it be a sport?
The argument could be made that gaming is not a physical exercise , but neither are other sports such as golf or bowls. Esports can also be comparable to some of the less active sports which focus on the exercise of the brain rather than the body, the obvious comparison can be made to chess. Chess requires less physical movement than an esport game like league of legends, StarCraft 2, or CS:GO. In the US they recognise professional esports players as athletes, at least when it comes to granting visas.
What makes Esports unique?
Esports isn't just one game, it's a selection of very different games across different genres. Thus, its really hard to group them all under one name. Most esports fans will watch only one or two different games. The same is true of sponsors, companies can only really invest in a couple of games due to the vast variety. Big companies, such as Intel, have helped in setting up leagues and developing esports progression. Gaming also allows the talent of all genders to compete, breaking down problems other sports have. Gaming also has a much more diverse audience. One of the biggest games, Overwatch, boasts that 16% of its player base was female in 2017. Esports also has the advantage of being new, so people can support whoever they want without pressure from family or friends like other sports.
The Social Side of Esports
Esports professionals and streamers are starting to become just as popular, if not more so, than some professional athletes. Most big teams are investing into new esports franchises: such as PSG (Paris Saint Germain) and FC Schalke 04. There's also a high chance of esports being added to the Olympics as a sport by 2024, having already solidified a spot at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China. The Asian Games being the 2nd biggest sporting competition worldwide, behind the Olympics. Esports has entered the collegiate sports arena, where students can land esports scholarships and get paid to play. There are more than thirty U.S. colleges and universities that offer scholarships for gamers. Ranking them up with football or basketball players. Big teams have been developed which are gaining fans and attention, as more games are launched into esports competitions.
Comparison between esports and traditional sports
Now let's talk about the similarities in the professional industry of esports and traditional sports. Both are in stadiums where people watch the players perform. Both involve the paying, signing, and trading of players. As well as league tables and tournaments, up to and including world cup events. Esports players are also paid a professional sports person's wage. For example, when a new Overwatch League team announced its $150,000 per annual contract for one of its players. The Overwatch League has also introduced a minimum wage for professional players at $50,000, although this is next to nothing compared to a professional football player. It shows the development in the industry and how people should start taking it as a serious sport.
Exposure of Esports
Even huge sports television channel ESPN have opened up a whole new esports tab on their website. Showing how esports is being valued as a real sport. As well, Sky Sports launching their esports section of their news. Esports is being presented alongside traditional sports, there's very little difference between them. There are also channels which show full 24/7 coverage of esports, such as GINX Esports TV. This makes the community more accessible and easier to watch.
Sponsors play a huge part of esports, unlike an existing sport like football. For example, nobody loves Chevrolet because they sponsor Manchester United. However, with an upcoming esports community, the sponsors make so much difference that people really appreciate it. Without the sponsor, the team couldn't play, therefore, the fans wouldn't be able to watch. An example of this would be OMEN by HP sponsoring the Overwatch World Cup. You could sense the fans appreciation, going as far as making their signs around the companies.
Gaming is indisputably a sport, just like any other athletic endeavor, it requires tremendous skill and strategy. It can be played individually or in a team. Serious esports athletes train for months on end, displaying strong mental focus, quick reaction time, and extreme dedication as they compete.

A news summary, focused on 10 big employers; updated 5:30 p.m.
YUM's expansion of its Pizza Hut and KFC international corporate campus in Plano, Texas, will boost total space by 60% to 300,000 square feet, with the addition of two three-story buildings. The pizza and fried chicken chains are opening about 1,000 new locations a year, requiring more space for employees.
One of the two new buildings will house a life-sized mock up of a Pizza Hut restaurant for testing everything from diner traffic flow to consumer reaction to artwork. There will also be a new conference room for all the campus' 450 employees, twice the capacity of the existing conference space.
Yum CEO Greg Creed and four other top corporate executives are getting new offices above the conference center, too. The five executives now divide their time between Plano, which is 20 miles north of Dallas, and Louisville, a move in February that raised questions about Yum's commitment to Louisville. Yum said it was more practical for the top brass to work closer to the company's two biggest and fast-growing divisions. The corporate campus expansion was disclosed at the time (Dallas Morning News).
The Pizza Hut Division has about 14,000 restaurants in 90 countries and territories outside China. KFC has about 15,000 in 120 countries and territories, also excluding China.
The China Division, based in Shanghai, has about 7,200 restaurants, mostly Pizza Huts and KFCs. Under pressure from an activist investor, Yum is in the process of spinning off the China Division, a process it expects to complete by the end of October.
Pizza Hut and Yum's international business have been based in Plano since Yum was spun off from PepsiCo in 1997. KFC's U.S. division remains in Louisville, where the company employs 1,000 workers. Yum's third division, Taco Bell, is based in southern California's Irvine. More about Yum in Louisville.
FORD said it sold 577,097 vehicles in China during the year's first half, a 6% increase from a year ago. Demand for Ford and Lincoln SUVs sales was strong, with combined sales of the Ford EcoSport, Kuga, Edge, Everest and Explorer and Lincoln MKC, MKX and Navigator surpassing 150,000 vehicles, 27% more than a year ago (press release). Ford's stock closed this afternoon at $12.75, up 1.4% to $12.74.
Last week, Ford said total U.S. sales grew 5% during the year's first six months, its best first-half performance since 2006. The automaker employs nearly 10,000 workers at truck and auto factories in Louisville.
AMAZON's first Prime Day 24-hour sale last year didn't go off without a hitch. "The company hyped price-breaks on everything from beard growth rubs to nail clippers for large animals, as well as the much-mocked 55-gallon bottle of lube for over $1,000," says Time magazine. "The overwhelming verdict for the vast majority of Prime Day deals last year was: they kinda sucked." What to do different for this year's Prime Day, next Tuesday? Time offers five suggestions (Time). Also, Amazon plans to hire another 1,000 employees in the U.K. at its London head office, research and development centres in Cambridge and Edinburgh and new warehouses in Manchester and Leicestershire — all on top of 2,500 jobs it announced earlier this year (The Telegraph).
In other news, Courier-Journal parent Gannett Co. said it would report second-quarter financial results July 27, followed by a 10 a.m. ET conference call with Wall Street analysts (press release).

KANSAS CITY — For the twelfth year in a row, the St. Peter Parish community and the Kansas City cycling community came together to ride their bikes throughout the area purchasing much-needed groceries for the St. Peter's Social Services Food Pantry.
The annual event which took place on Nov. 17 is the largest food drive for the parish food pantry, just in time for Thanksgiving.
Cranksgiving started in New York City in 1999 by bike messenger "alleycats" and has grown to over 100 independently organized events across the globe. There are no requirements other than to "get food" and "do it on a bike."
This year's Cranksgiving event raised a record $1,700 in cash and wheeled in a whopping 14,000 pounds of non-perishable food items, beating last year's total of 10,000 pounds, which led the nation in total food collected.
Riders competed in teams of eight for the heaviest load, or went solo in the fastest rider category. There was even a kid's competition featuring a scavenger hunt and prizes.
Upon arrival the riders rolled their bikes up to a new weigh station this year to measure their haul. In previous years, riders would have to unload their canned goods in increments on normal scales; A highly choregraphed bucket-brigade type process that required many volunteers.
The new scale system, designed by parishioner Justin Stanley of Fairbanks Scales, streamlined the weigh-in process, enabling each rider's entire load to be weighed at once. It also provided a nice spectacle for the heaviest load contest.
Riders then enjoyed chili, beer and music with door prizes provided by local sponsors and the Knights of Columbus Council 13988.

XAn exerpt from this morning's second reading at Vigils:
There are times when evils become the occasion of blessings and when God causes good results to follow from the sinful designs of men. A manifest example of this is the case of Joseph, whom his brothers, moved by jealousy, sold to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. As things turned out, this crime against Joseph marked the beginning of all manner of benefits for the father and brothers of Joseph and for the whole land of Egypt, so that Joseph could later say to his brothers: "Even though you meant harm to me, God meant it for good."

…from my baby!
So, ever since I moved in with B my cell phone (which was never very good anyway) has sucked even more! Actually, beyond sucking — I simply got no reception in The Castro. Yes, the horror that is T-Mobile when you live in The Castro. Anyway, with unemployment looming I had dashed all hopes of terminating my contract with T-Mobile to join the ranks of either Verizon or Sprint. But, B surprised me with an early Christmas gift — a way cool razr phone that moto designed for the cool (red) campaign which brings money to AIDS charities in Africa. Cool! I've a phone that actually works.
This, of course, brings me to the topics of both AIDS and phones.
AIDS has stolen more than a few friends from me. The early 90's were both horribly sad and scary. And, it still is — the difference is that I now have friends who are living with it (or HIV) as opposed to waiting to die from it. Anyway, I am not sure how much Bono and my new cell phone will do to help anyone — but something is better than nothing. Like only being able to afford to give $25 to my friend who is doing the AIDS ride — I'd have rather given him $1K but $25 is all I can swing. So, that is something.
Phones. I hate them. I don't like talking on the phone. I like to see the person to whom I speak. I want to see his/her eyes. I want to connect and I seldom really feel connected on the phone. There always seems to be something else pressing for me or the person at the other end which needs to be addressed. And, I hate the sound of ringing phones. And, I hate the idea that it might look like I'm trying to look "cool" or "important" with my little cell phone. But, cell phones are a fact of life. As I start my job search — this one is saving my ass!
Speaking of my ass. This brings me to the topic of Gala Market on 18th Street. B and I were there not too long ago. I was pushing the shopping cart. He was looking for some type of wine to go with steak. Two guys in the early to mid 20's were behind us. I could tell that we were in their way so I went to move the cart to the side but ended up backing into one of them. I apologized and moved to the side. ….they walked by us. As they passed, one of them said: "I am so tired of these skinny Castro bitches!"
I think B was pissed at the rudeness, but I loved them. I mean. You can call me a bitch as much as you like as long you tell me that I am also skinny!
Well, if you will excuse me — I am very important and must make a phone call on my (red) motorazr cell phone. Oh, and B gave me a Streisand Superman screen saver!
Does he know me or what!?!?! Oh, phone's beeping! Gotta run!
Love you! Mean it!

Matty: Spin.
I sat behind this really nice man who kept spinning, out of control. I think he was wearing a jersey.
WHY do the female spin instructors like Bon Jovi so much?
Oh, I heard the new Gwen Stefani is pretty good. And I (finally) heard a song from the new Joanna Newsom. I think I like it a lot! (Hint.)
Okay, now I'll go back and read your bloggie.
That is indeed a cool cell phone.
Matty, the shoppers in those Castro grocery stores are mean! Grocery shopping takes patience and thought!
But, Ing, they thought I was skinny! I loved them! I still love them for calling me "skinny"
I think Bon Jovi is a big fan of sitting (and spinning) …so that probably explains it.
I am addicted to that new Gwen Stefani song which samples the sound of music. …me and a bunch of jr high school age girls. i know i should not like it. …but i do.
OMG I am so sorry I said that to you! 😉
Kalvin! I love it when you talk that way to me!
It's funny how some phone companies have better reception in some areas. T-Mobile, here, is great from what my friends who have it say. I have Nextel and there are numerous dead zones. It wouldn't annoy me so much if they were in the country, but they are in high populated areas. errgg.
As for being a bitch, I agree, I want the skinny added on. What did they look like?? Im sure they trolls in training..
awwww, so nice, your B! if he's got an extra, send it to Canada. you've got the address. but tell him to change the screen saver to the Sisters of Mercy. (the band, not the nuns).
happy early xmas! oh my crappy phone is ringing. must answer before going to bitchy voicemail.
love ya. really.
Sorted Lives — You know, that is what surprised me about the two sweet boys who accused me of being a skinny Castro bitch — they were urban hippsters. …and, I do think they were queer. Well, it was Gala. Oh, I do love them. And, yes, T-Mobile was great in Boston and New York. It had not done so well for me here. My reception in Ingleside (when I was living there was a bit random but not horrible)
Joe! If I could I would send you a (red) razr phone! I need to call you, but please let me go to your voice mail — am dying to hear it. I think you should do an audio post of it! I just can't believe you'd be a skinny bitch, too! LOL!
Oh crap, I just sent you a holiday card to your old address. I had no idea that you moved!?! Can you send me your new addy please? 🙂
Thanks Babe!!! You guys moved in together, how sweet is THAT!!!! yay!!
You are just so sweet, you skinny castro bitch.
Actually, I would so die for anyone to actually call me that.
I will Definitely look up Butt.
(i still think they were kind of mean)
Robert – You are so sweet! Thank you!!! I can't wait! I just sent you an address, but I kept my mailing address so you can use either one! Yeah! Living together! So cool!!!!!
Daniel — BUTT is awesome. The perfect blend of gay lit and gay porn. …with a difference. Way cool! Yes, I loved those two boys (in truth — I'm not that skinny! …but, I really don't thik I'm a bitch at all. ???
Ing — there wre just two sweet boys who saw me as someone who, was perhaps super thin and bitchy. Not sure why — but if I ever see them again — I'm going to give them both big skinny bitch Castro hugs!
i'm too in the market for a new phone… this is a fantastic idea
So does that mean you're a Verizoner now? If so we can talk to each other for free. LOL I have the same phone but a different color. I don't like talking on the phone too much either…I rather *meet* in person. 🙂 I find people abusing cell phones these days–glued to them I mean, at the lines of coffee shop, Borders, everywhere.
Hmmmmm, maybe if you stopped frequenting Borders (evil chain store, Matty, trying to drive the cool bookstores out of business and not nearly as interested in reading materials as they are in profits, meaning someday, if they win, you will have to search through a whole lot of crap to find something you might actually want to read — I know this for a fact because I worked in a chain for six months, and believe me, they're EVIL) you would not see so many people glued to their phones. Maybe they would be reading and browsing. Hmmmmmm?
Support your local independent bookstore. Support writers, not corporate profits. Art first! Books without borders!
Anyway, hi! I love you!
Hot Lunch – It really is cool that some of the profits go toward something good. Even if only a little. And, even tho it is not pink — red is cool.
Matt – No, I'm a Sprinter! However, you should be able to reach me on my phone now! …If I remember to turn it on and have it with me! Yes, our culture has become obesessed with gadgets and cell phones. …Oh, Matt. You should never mention shopping at Borders. It upsets Ing. Actually, I do agree with her. But, I'm not so hard-edge'd about it. I bought a Courtney Love book there once.
Ing – Uh, oh. You found Matt out. Well, let's hope he finds his way out of the mall and to the indepents! Viva la revolucion! …but it will it be televised on my Moto (red) Sprint phone as I wait for my frappe at moonbucks?!?!? LOL!
Oh, dear, Matt! I thought you were my Matty — I know that he likes a good scolding sometimes, so I scolded. I wouldn't have been so forward if I'd known it was you, the other Matt (though I guess I spilled my convictions). Since I switched to beta, I can't always see everyone's pics next to their postings.
We used to have a sign at my bookstore asking people to take their cell phone coversations outside. But since we don't see too many people abusing others' space, we let it slide.
I love my cell phone! But it's not fancy and red, and the money I spent on it didn't go to a worthy cause.
Ing! Oh, no! I haven't even gotten a hug since your trip to Grand Rapids and you were scolding me! …and, it is I — AFTER ALL — who has the red phone that helps folks in Africa by about 3 cents!
I, for one, am most upset.
(not really)
I got a laugh out of that! …however, I feel I should defend poor Matt by stating that he reads A LOT. …of course, he is an English Lit prof so I guess that makes sense. I tried to explain where your store is to him but will have to just bring him here since I am incapable of giving directional info at any time.
Matt – Stop going to Borders! Call me and I shall get ye to a good book shoppee! Matt has a cute cell phone. …not as cute as mine, but it is cute.
However, Ing has a really hot cell phone too!
Yes groovy new phone, Matty. And I think that's hilarious that you've got a Streisand Superman screensaver. Mind you I have a Tom Baker (Dr Who) background on mine at the moment, and my ring tone is the theme from "Are You Being Served" (camp-ish 1970s / 80s British sitcom) so who the hell am I to talk?? Let's face it, our phones say SO much about who we are.
And I can kind of see your point about the "skinny Castro queen" insult. As someone who has put on a bit of weight in the last couple of years and now finds it hard to shift, I am quite envious of skinny people. So count yourself lucky in that department. They're just bitter and twisted queens anyway.
The Castro is a really well known club isn't it? I've heard quite a few people mentioning it before, Armistead Maupin notwithstanding. One day I really wanna visit San Francisco!!
Old Cheeser! Ah, yes! My Streisand Superman screensaver rocks and is the envy of all who see it. …don't believe 'em if they tell you otherwise!
And, yes, you and your man HAVE to come visit GayTown! Much fun!

Another Reason to Do Your Estate Planning
According to Forbes, one in eight baby boomers will get Alzheimer's after they turn 65. That in itself is enough reason to do your estate planning. If your planning is done – meaning you've done a durable power of attorney and a revocable living trust – then incapacity won't require a court proceeding and court monitoring, And the agent you choose (your spouse, child or friend) will manage your affairs as needed, not someone the court appoints.
What about your parents? Have they done their estate planning? If so, talk to your parents and make sure they get their estate planning done. Otherwise you and your siblings will be left to clean up the mess.

Pro Tips to Prolong the Life of Your Exterior Paint Job
We know we're lucky to live here in the Florida Panhandle. If you have a home here, you know how wonderful coastal life can be. Yet the very things that make life here so lovely – sun, salt, and that warm ocean breeze – can wreak havoc on your home. Here at Coastal Home Pros, we know that as your home's first line of defense, exterior paint is particularly vulnerable to the ravages of the coastal climate. When it's time to repaint your home, it's worth seeking out a local painting contractor. Our expert knowledge of the unique challenges and conditions in our area can save you time, money, and heartache down the road
Even the best painting contractor can't work miracles. If you're lucky enough to live in our coastal area, you probably already know that the exterior of your home will need more frequent maintenance. Our expert planning, preparation, quality materials, and solid workmanship can help, but nothing can permanently delay the effects of sun, salt, moisture, and wind.
Homeowners in coastal Florida are used to the sun's strong rays, and most of us know how to take cover. Shade, protective clothing or hats, and sunscreen protect us when we're outside in the summer. Just like human skin that burns with too much direct exposure, the paint on our homes also suffers from too much direct sunlight. Sun-related issues fall into a few categories:
Bleaching – Ultraviolet rays in sunlight break down the chemical compounds in paint, causing fading and paint failure. Dark colors are more likely to fade, but the UV rays can also turn crisp whites yellow.
Bubbling or Blistering – Like skin that blisters with a bad sunburn, your exterior paint can actually bubble or blister. The paint becomes so hot that it begins to boil. When the bubbles pop, the surface beneath the paint becomes exposed to the elements. When this happens, you should take steps to repair it immediately. South-facing doors in coastal Florida are particularly vulnerable to this problem. They will often require extra prep work when it's time to repaint.
Chalking – The dehydrating effect of the sun can cause chemicals to rise to the surface, leaving a powdery white film on top of the paint. Using high quality primer and paint can delay this chalking effect somewhat.
That wonderful breeze blowing in from the ocean brings moisture, sand, and salt to your exterior surfaces. Exterior paint can fade, peel and chip as a result of constant exposure to salt water. #Saltlife may be a popular hashtag for aspiring beach bums all over the country, but your house doesn't appreciate the barrage of sodium. Salt crystals build up on the surface of the paint, and sand particles carried on the wind can add insult to injury. And it's not just minerals that attack your home's exterior surfaces. The humidity that's pervasive to the Emerald Coast causes its own set of problems. Moisture build-up causes mold and mildew to grow rapidly, and increases the likelihood of rot and decay.
Stay vigilant
Homes located right on the ocean should realistically expect annual or biennial maintenance to painted surfaces. The most important thing to do is to make sure that your paint job is done right the first time. Hiring an expert local painting contractor like Coastal Home Pros is your best first step. Once the job is done, monitor your house vigilantly, and catch any damage early. Careful and frequent inspections of coastal home exteriors can help prevent costly repairs. Contact us today to get started. We can make your house dreams a reality!

Spectrophotometric Determination of Carbonate Ion Concentrations: Elimination of Instrument-Dependent Offsets and Calculation of In Situ Saturation States
Published Date:2017
Source:Environmental Science & Technology, 51(16), 9127-9136.
Personal Author:Sharp, J. D. ; Byrne, R. H. ; Liu, X. W. ; Feely, R. A. ; Cuyler, E. E. ; ... More ▼
Description:This work describes an improved algorithm for spectrophotometric determinations of seawater carbonate ion concentrations ([CO32-](spec)) derived from observations of ultraviolet absorbance spectra in lead -enriched seawater. Quality-control assessments of [CO32-](spec) data obtained on two NOAA research cruises (2012 and 2016) revealed a substantial intercruise difference in average Delta[CO32-] (the difference between a sample's [CO32-](spec) value and the corresponding [CO32-] value calculated from paired measurements of pH and dissolved inorganic carbon). Follow-up investigation determined that this discordance was due to the use of two different spectrophotometers, even though both had been properly calibrated. Here we present an essential methodological refinement to correct [CO32-](spec) absorbance data for small but significant instrumental differences. After applying the correction (which, notably, is not necessary for pH determinations from sulfonephthalein dye absorbances) to the shipboard absorbance data, we fit the combined-cruise data set to produce empirically updated parameters for use in processing future (and historical) [CO32-](spec) absorbance measurements. With the new, rocedure, the average Delta[CO32-] offset between the two aforementioned cruises was reduced from 3.7 mu mol kg(-1) to 0.7 mu mol kg(-1), which is well within the standard deviation of the measurements (1.9 mu mol kg(-1)). We also introduce an empirical model to calculate in situ carbonate ion concentrations from [CO32-](spec). We demonstrate that these in situ values can be used to determine calcium carbonate saturation states that are in good agreement with those determined by more laborious and expensive conventional methods.

Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 2
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 2.
If you made it from GW1 to GW2 then that probably either means you scored well in GW1 and are still full of beans having done so or that you are simply a proper FPL player and know that you will make it to GW38 regardless. Either way GW2 is upon us so let's go see how the weekend pans out…
Arsenal's reserve team got off to a good start with 3 points away at Newcastle and they clash in the days early game with a bouyant Burnley side who beat Southampton 3-0 in their own first game.
3pm sees us with five games but with the exception of Liverpool it's a list of the 'also-rans' again. There's definitely a pattern developing here… Villa host Bournemouth with both looking for their first win, Everton host Watford with both looking for their first win, Norwich host Newcastle with both looking for their first win, Brighton host West Ham with
—24+00:00″>both looking for their first win, (oh hang on, Brighton won?!) West ham looking for their first win. Southampton host Liverpool and of course the hosts are looking for their first win. They'll still be looking next week too.
The evening game is argueably the first big clash of the titans this season as Man City host Spurs.
Sunday sees Sheffield United and Palace get us going at 2pm, with both teams looking for their first win. That is followed at 4.30pm by Chelsea and Leicester, with… yeah, you guessed it, both teams looking for their first win!
We go to Monday this time too as Wolves host Man United in a mouth watering clash.
The games in full…
Keep track of all the action, the goals, the talking points, right here at FF247 Live Match Chat, an interactive chat which encourages you to keep involved and share your thoughts and emotions as the matches take place.

This action issue is about responsible gun regulations in the US — and allowing NY state residents to decide for themselves about concealed carry regulations, not people in other states.
Despite publicly stating that he favors gun-free school zones, Rep. Faso is co-sponsoring HR 38, a bill that allows concealed carry in school zones and in national parks — and also allows a person to carry a concealed weapon across state lines to another state that also allows concealed carry — this essentially allows the state that sets the lowest bar for permitting concealed carry to make the rules for the rest of us in other states. Rep. Faso recently voted to overturn regulations regarding guns access for individuals with mental health disabilities (H.J. Res 40).
A reminder that we now see that this is a pattern for Rep. Faso: he makes public statements that say, or imply, one thing, but then he does another.
Every single day, 93 Americans are killed with guns. The gun homicide rate in the U.S. is 25 times higher than that of other developed countries. In a month, 50 woman are shot to death by intimate partners in the United States. The presence of a gun in a domestic violence situation increases the risk of the woman being shot and killed by five times. One child or teen dies from a gun every 3 hours and 18 minutes. Guns are the second leading cause of death for children and teens ages 1-19.
Rep. John Faso recently voted to overturn a common sense Obama-era regulation that added people receiving Social Security mental health disability payments to a national database for background checks. People who receive these payments are those who cannot manage their own affairs due to the severity of their mental disability. The database is checked by licensed gun dealers before a sale of a firearm.
Here's a quote from Rep. Faso, where he seems to say that it's unfair that someone with mental illness cannot buy a gun. "The regulation is an overreach," Faso said. "What the Social Security Disability Administration was doing was basically adding another criteria so if someone was deemed by them as not being capable of conducting their financial affairs they would therefore be put on the prohibited list from exercising their second amendment rights." Really? This regulation sounds very sensible to us at Hudson Valley Strong.
Second, Rep. Faso is a co-sponsor of HR 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017. This appalling Act does three things– it allows a person to carry a concealed weapon across state lines into another state which allows concealed carry — this essentially allows the state that sets the lowest bar for permitting concealed carry to make the rules for the rest of us in other states.
And going even further, this bill allows qualified persons to carry a concealed weapon into a school zone Faso is (again) contradicting himself by sponsoring this bill. Rep. Faso has said (in public, to his constituents) that he favors gun-free school zones, but is (again) contradicting his public statements by co-sponsoring this bill allows concealed carry in a school zone.
This bill also allows someone to carry concealed weapons on public federal lands. Who wants to go to a national park and have to worry about people carrying concealed weapons? It makes our national park ranger's job even more dangerous than it already is. Let's keep our parks for pleasurable enjoyment of our natural heritage.
Sample Call and FB Script
Hello, I am [name] from [town, zip code]. I am calling to strongly object to Representative Faso's vote on HJ Resolution 40 to weaken sensible gun control laws. No one who is deemed mentally incompetent should be permitted to buy a gun. It was wrong of Rep. Faso to vote to overturn the policy calling for background checks on Social Security recipients deemed mentally incompetent.
I also oppose Rep. Faso's support for the HR 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. I do not want guns in schools zones or in national parks, I also don't want other states being able to decide who can carry concealed weapons in New York — we New York state residents should be able to decide that for ourselves! Why does he want to give our power over to people in other states?
Sample Tweets @RepJohnFaso I want sensible gun regs! No guns for mentally disabled people! #HJ40 No guns in school zones & federal lands!
#HR38 @RepJohnFaso why do you support HR38, allowing other states to decide who can carry concealed weapons in NYS— we can decide for ourselves!

MELBOURNE, Australia — As Mason Cox sprinted toward the football, one thought ran through his mind: attack it.
He leapt up onto the back of the defender in front of him, using him as a stepladder to bring himself closer to the dropping ball. He timed his leap to perfection, turning his 6-foot-11 body into a long crane, and plucked the yellow, oval-shaped ball out of the night sky.
It was a clean and pivotal mark, or catch, 25 meters (27 yards) out from goal in an Australian rules football match. Cox would finish that game with eight contested marks — the second-highest ever in an Australian Football League playoff game — and three goals. His team, Collingwood Football Club of Melbourne, won that playoff game but lost in the grand final — Australia's Super Bowl — the next week.
Yet Cox stood out for another reason: He is an American, from Highland Village north of Dallas. In the last five years, a handful of Americans, generally tall men performing a specialized role, have been contracted by A.F.L. clubs. By the beginning of the 2018 season in March, Cox was the only one still left in the league.
He has become a bit of a sensation in Australia, a fan favorite whose goals are often met with chants of "U.S.A.! U.S.A.!" He has been welcomed in part because Australians would love to see more global recognition for their homegrown sport. He has also shown a playful embrace of the country, wearing a "Crocodile Dundee" outfit to a team party and joking on Instagram, "I think I qualify for citizenship now." (Cox intends on beginning the process of becoming an Australian citizen in December.)
"Footy's something I take very seriously in my life," Cox said in an interview, using the Australian nickname for the sport. "I put a lot of effort and time into it and it's something that this city is so crazy for. You can't get away from it sometimes, because you go down the street and people want to talk about the last game you played."
With the exception of Irishmen — Gaelic football is similar to Australian rules football — foreigners are a rare sight in the A.F.L.
But Cox, 27, who now speaks with a healthy dose of Australian accent, could be the perfect brand builder, giving international cachet to a domestic sport that began as a means of keeping cricketers fit during their off-season in the winter.
The A.F.L. has long craved international expansion and recognition — the league started playing an international rules series against Ireland in 1984 and, in the past decade, it has played exhibition games in Abu Dhabi, Shanghai and London.
Still, Cox may well be the last American to make it in the A.F.L. In March, the league announced that it would be shelving its combine in the United States — which it had been holding annually since 2012 — for at least a year as it made Ireland the priority in its search for international talent.
An earlier edition of that combine changed Cox's life.
In the spring of 2014, a few months before graduating from Oklahoma State University, where he walked onto the basketball team, he received an invitation to attend a combine for the A.F.L. in Los Angeles. He had never heard of the league.
But the league had a shortage of people capable of performing the specialized role of ruckman/center-half-forward, which requires someone at least 6 feet 6 inches tall, mobile, athletic and well coordinated with both their hands and their feet.
In an island nation of about 25 million people, there just aren't many who fit that bill. But there are plenty of American college basketball players who do.
Cox was one of them, and he killed it at the combine.
After a visit with several teams in Australia, he received four contract offers. Cox had already accepted a job as an engineer with Exxon Mobil in Houston, figuring his athletic career was over, but backed out of it to sign with Collingwood in Melbourne in 2014.
Upon arriving at the football club in late August 2014, he and Craig McRae, the club's then head of development, went to work. "We just got into the everyday grind of getting it all done and really locked into it," Cox recalled with a smile.
Initially, like many a novice, Cox dropped the Australian football onto his foot with two hands. This was problematic, McRae explained, because "the ball's going to be dropped — particularly a 7-foot guy — the ball's going to be dropped from a long way above the ground, so then there's so much room for error."
Therefore, "our game requires you to guide the ball" onto the boot with "one hand."
Cox's progression was rapid. Less than two weeks after he first picked up an A.F.L. ball at Collingwood's facility, he hit McRae in stride with a laces-out, 45-meter, or 49-yard, low drop punt.
Four weeks later, Cox was consistently dropping the ball onto his foot with a one-handed guide.
For the specialized skill of contested marking, or catching the ball in a crowd, McRae took Cox to see Anthony Rocca, Collingwood's then development coach, once a week. "His hands were really clean," McRae recalled, taking note of Cox's big hands. "He just wouldn't fumble."
By the end of his three-month, intensive course in Australian rules football with McRae and Rocca, Cox was able to join the rest of Collingwood's professional footballers in preseason training. He then played for Collingwood's minor league team for just over a season before making his big league debut in April 2016.
He scored a goal with his very first kick. By the beginning of this season's finals — the Australian term for playoffs — he had firmly established himself as a solid role player.
But Cox's breakout performance in the preliminary final two weeks ago suggested that he might be on the cusp of becoming a transcendent star. His strong performance — two goals and a deft assist — in Collingwood's nail-biting grand final loss to the West Coast Eagles a week later reinforced that tantalizing notion.
Rocca, who still coaches Cox, believes that the American has only just started scratching the surface of his enormous potential, saying that his scope for future improvement "is absolutely huge."
Cox has embraced Australia's culture, values, lifestyle and even language. He said that he especially likes Melbourne, his adopted hometown.
"Something that I've loved since I've been here is it's a multicultural melting pot," he said.
He eats pho on Victoria Street; he enjoys Greek and Italian food and culture in Melbourne's northern suburbs; and he has befriended people from many different ethnic backgrounds: His best friends include a Vietnamese-Australian whose family came to Australia as refugees, a Filipino-Australian and a recently arrived Swede.
Cox's speech is peppered with Australian vernacular. He speaks of "university," not "college," and expresses his full agreement with something another person says with the ubiquitous Australianism "a hundred percent."
And he has picked up a distinct Australian accent. Even his family has noticed. "When he gets home, we put him right back into place very quickly," his oldest brother Nolan said, with a laugh.

Benchmark listings prove the existence of any upcoming CPU or GPU. An early sample of the AMD Rome EPYC 2 processor with 64-cores and 128-thread running at 2.2GHz is spotted in SiSoft Sandra's benchmark database.
Based on the listed, the CPU is identified as ZS1406E2VJUG5_22 / 14 running on a Dell PowerEdge R7515 server. While this is a dual-socket based server, these specifications are from a single CPU. This is double the count of AMD EPYC 7601 which has 32 cores/ 64 threads clocked at 2.2/3.2 GHz with 64MB L2 cache running with 180-watt TDP.
The 'Z' denotes a pre-production sample and hence gives a good enough look at its upcoming datacentre CPU offerings. These are likey one of the samples given to their partners for internal and qualification testing. The Base/Boost clock is 1.4GHz. 2.2 GHz on all physical cores with 64x 512KB L2 Cache and 256MB L3 Cache. The TSMC-made 7nm Zen2 will bring higher IPC on a smaller fabrication process and lower power consumption. It promises to lower the power consumption by half compared to the previous generation. While this is attractive for a Zen 2 architecture, this will be a larger key factor for data-centre usage.

If your iCloud storage is full, you should free up some storage space on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. In this article, we will show you how to manage iCloud storage space to get more free space for other data.
You can check the available iCloud storage to see how much space left. Here is how to check available iCloud storage space on your iPhone, iPad and iPad Touch:
After you have checked the available storage space in your iCloud and fund that there was not enough space, you can manage the storage to get more space.
If you use iCloud for backing up your iPhone content and settings, every newly installed app will be automatically backed up in your iCloud. Many applications compile data for iCloud, but in many cases, a backup is not necessary. You can set which apps should be backed up to iCloud and delete existing backups from your storage. Proceed as follows on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in iOS 10.3 or newer:
Select Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud.
If you use iOS 11, tap Manage Storage > Backup. If you use iOS 10.3, tap iCloud Storage > Manage Storage.

For iOS 10.3 or newer:
Delete Mails: If you use your iCloud address for mails, these are also saved in your 5 GB of free storage in iCloud. Open your mail on your device and delete all the useless messages with large attachments, for example.
Delete iCloud Drive data: If you use iCloud Drive, it will also be loaded to your iCloud storage. You will also find the function in the "iCloud" category. If you also want to delete some data, open the iCloud-Drive or log in on your PC by iCloud.com.

Step 3. MobiMover will start immediately transfer selected files from iPhone to PC without iTunes at lightning speed. Please don't suspend the USB connection until the process finishes. Some contents, like contacts and messages, will be saved as a .html file. You can view them by opening in a web browser.

Mortal Kombat 11 is coming. Series head Ed Boon game out to present the award for best sports or racing game – except, nah, he didn't. Once he tossed to the nominees, we got a Mortal Kombat logo, and a CG trailer showcased some some familiar faces doing battle. Scorpion dies, then another, more classic-style Scorpion appears in his place.
We'll find out more at a community event on January 17, and the game is scheduled to release worldwide on April 23. Until then, we'll just have to interpret this trailer – based on what we've seen so far, it seems like MK11 will be a fighting game with a big emphasis on violence. Oh, and Boon did eventually present the award.
The Game Awards is an annual show hosted by Geoff Keighley that celebrates the best and brightest in the gaming year, and provides plenty of fresh announcements, trailers, and worldwide debuts for upcoming PC games. You can catch the show in progress on YouTube and Twitch, or whatever your media streaming platform of choice happens to be. Of course, you can also stick with us for more details on all the announcements as they happen.
Check out the trailer below.
This story is still developing. Keep checking back for more details as they come in during our coverage of The Game Awards.

Eat, Play, Write
Post: #140
RE: Eat, Play, Write
I have two questions, please....
First, to be sure I really get this.... I calculated my estimated TDEE based on 145lb, my weight when I started in Nov. As I've added calories, I've gained 5lb, which is fine. I'm currently eating 2000 (but was up to 2100 and then down briefly to 1800). I plan to stay at 2000 through Feb, then increase. Despite the slight shifts in calories, I've been in the 149-150.4 range for a while. All good. I understand that if I am not yet at TDEE, my weight should slowly come down after going up. My question is this: if I stay at 2000 (not yet TDEE) for several weeks, should I expect my weight to drop down to 145, where I started? Or does it typically not drop that far?
Second, I've been looking into gyms to increase my weight training, but no one here offers anything on a reasonably priced short term basis. We're moving in 11 weeks. So I would love a few recommendations for video workouts, either online or DVDs. I have a tiny set of dumbbells - 3, 5, and 8 pound - and don't want to buy anything else until we're moved, so light dumbbells, resistance bands, and body weight workouts would be best. I've looked at the EM2WL workouts and plan to try some of them, but wondered what else you've found helpful and enjoyed.
Thanks! Happy weekend!

Ambitious is the perfect word to describe junior Olivia Pierce. In September 2017, Pierce released an album titled "Acoustic Ambitions" on Spotify and Apple Music which perfectly described this young artist's persona and goals. The young Edina High School student, now 16, is headed for a successful career in music; her album is an important first step towards that.
Pierce attempts to convey honesty in the album, which features five tracks. Among them, "A House Divided" is meant to capture what a fractured home looks like. Pierce drew on the experiences of those around her who had or were experiencing divorced families. Her album also features tracks like "Daisy," which is a lighthearted song written for her little sister.
When writing and creating music Pierce likes to let the music speak for itself, "There is something special about acoustic guitars. I think you can portray a message deeper if there is not a lot going on in the background," she said.
Pierce draws inspiration from Alicia Keys, who is unequivocally willing to be herself, a major goal of Pierce's album. Her raw and meaningful music is exactly what Pierce hopes to communicate in her own work. "I really look up to her and her music; my mom [and I] watched one of her concerts…she was just really open and honest… she didn't want anything to get in the way of her music," Pierce said.
Along with Keys, one of Pierce's main muses is her dad. "My dad is a musician, so he always sings around the house. He taught me how to play piano, and he would play the saxophone before breakfast," Pierce said.
Pierce's connection with her dad and her childhood surrounded by music gave her inspiration to embrace her own musical path. "In a lot of ways, [my music] allows me to connect with my dad, so I think that's a reason [why] I love music," she said.
