BMW stop Manics unbeaten Run
Bracknell Manics
took on BMW again in the league for another 3 points, in their
final league game.
The line-up looked positive, with James Robinson back in goal,
Joel Curran, Brian Judge, Ryan Millward and Glenn Evans forming
the defence. The midifeld was the same four, David Comper, Elliott
Fairs, Gary Sarney, and Aaron Goddard; with Mark Robertson back
up front with Paul Milner.
Manics scored the first after 3 minutes of play. Soaking up pressure
from the BMW team, Bracknell Manics won a corner soon after.
Glenn Evans went up to take, and Ryan Millward scored to make
it 1-0 to the Manics.
4 minutes later the Manics took a hit when Glenn Evans had to
come off due to injury. Luke Phillips came on to fill his spot
as right back.
On the 15th minute, Bracknell Manics stretched their lead to
2-0. Paul MIlner recieved the ball from a through and played
a great through ball to Aswad who at full stretch, put the ball
past the keeper into the roof of the net.
Soon after a second substitution had to be made. Joel Curran
was the second Manic to come off, and James Blackman came on
in his place.
On the 30th minute BMW got a goal back. A corner was won, and
a low ball was delivered into the box. The ball was flicked off
of Goddard and took a deflection by Luke Phillips at the back
post before going in.
In the second half, BMW began to fight back.
After 6 minutes, BMW got the equaliser when the BMW winger ran
past two Manics defenders, and put a low ball through to the
forward to tap in.
Then the frustration began to take its turn as the skies opened
and a hail of ran fell on the pitch. The match became scrappy
and mistakes began to be made by both sides.
The Manics struggled to get into the game, and BMW pressured
the Manics, creating a good number of chances on goal.
On the 10th minute the 3rd substitution was made as Gary Sarney
would come off injured. Aaron Goddard would play in his place
as captain, and Alan Morris came on on the right wing.
The Manics were given a penalty on the 25th minute when Mark
Robertson was pulled down in the box. Paul Milner stepped up
to take, but hit the penalty against and then over the bar.
10 minutes later, BMW scored the winner. From a goal kick, David
Comper's header went backwards into the Manic half. Judge picked
up the ball and trying to clear, miss kicked it straight to the
BMW forward, who hit on the outside of his right foot, over Robinson
and into the net.
2 minutes after, Paul Milner was booked for a bad challenge,
and then decent, and for the remainder of the game, the Manics
fought on. But it was all too late as the final score ended 3-2
to BMW.
for the Manics this week, who struggled to get into the game,
but thanks to all the support who turned up to watch.

It had appeared that Sonny Dykes' time away from his former conference would be a short one, with the key word there being "had."
Earlier this month, Dykes was abruptly fired as the head football coach at Cal. Less than three weeks later, another Pac-12 program reportedly considered filling its offensive coordinator vacancy with the Air Raid maven.
ASU vetting former Cal coach Sonny Dykes, newly hired assistants Josh Henson/Rob Likens for OC opening per sources https://t.co/m94wRxLwDR
— SunDevilSource.com (@SunDevilSource) January 26, 2017
The two mentioned in the above tweet, Henson and Likens, currently serve on Todd Graham's Sun Devils staff as offensive line coach and wide receivers coach, respectively. The report of ASU's interest in Dykes comes a week or so after it was reported that TCU would be adding the coach to Gary Patterson's football staff.
In the end, however, ASU's attention went unrequited as a family situation will compel Dykes to remain with the Horned Frogs as an offensive analyst.
Sonny Dykes was legit candidate for #ASU offensive coordinator but is unable to due to family issues making TCU better fit for now
— jeffmetcalfe (@jeffmetcalfe) January 27, 2017
Graham's search for a new coordinator was triggered by Chip Lindsey accepting the same job at Auburn less than a week ago.

I Met Him One Day On My Morning Run And My Life Was Never The Same Again
I Met Him One Day On My Morning Run And My Life Was Never The Same Again
I'm a 21-year-old girl, and one year ago, I met Varun in a park. I used to be a fitness freak and he was right in my jogging spot.
The minute we made eye contact, we both knew that we were attracted to each other. It was so obvious.
I'm really tall and I'm visible to practically everyone. At 5'9", you know what I mean? And Varun seemed to have caught on too.
One day, he came and spoke to me, and from that day onwards we started to meet and talk every day at the park. A few days later, we exchanged our number and started talking. I was head over heels in love with him. But he just liked me; not loved me. He was still in touch with his ex and lied to me about her.
A few months later when I went to stay with him for the first time, I saw that he had another mobile phone and was frequently touch with his ex. And guess what? He used to tell her every detail of our relationship!
I was furious about everything but he kept on asking for forgiveness, and at the end of the day, I was in love with him so I gave him another chance. Little did I know that this was just the beginning of my painful journey.
We started our relationship again with no grudges against each other. Everything was fine until he started being himself again! So charming, no?
He used to fight with me if I spoke to any friend of mine. I could not even talk to girls. But as I was being dumb enough to think that he loves me, I stopped talking to everyone. He even used to blame me that because of me he had to suffer (I genuinely don't know what was he was suffering from).
He used to tell me that I was the reason behind his sadness and that he had to stop talking to his ex because of me! I don't know why I tolerated all that in the first place!
A month ago, he went to Gujarat for a function and while he was there, he didn't call me; and while he did fight with me about how I don't have time for him, he also made it a point to sprinkle suspicion over me. Apparently, I was busy talking to someone else while he was away.
I tolerated his accusations for four days, but on the fifth day, I told him that I can't be in a relationship like this. I broke up with him, and to nobody's surprise, he didn't call me back even once.
I was heartbroken and I cried myself dry. I had nobody left to share my feelings with. It was my own bloody fault because I shut myself out from my friends. And I did that to myself because of some ditz I met in a park.
But I hope I'll survive this heartache one day. I want to audit and delete every memory I ever have about him.
I just want to tell Varun one thing- I don't even want to hate you. I don't want to burn myself with hatred and give you any headspace. I want to forget you, and I hope I'll be able to forgive you one day, for your own sake.
You know what? If you can't make someone happy, there's no need to bring them any pain. We already have menstrual cramps for that. What? What's that you just said? Don't you like it? Then why didn't you stay away?

Misinformed home buyers and their agents are making a mistake!
Holy smokes! A colleague of mine (a Realtor) just told me she plans to "UP a listing price… as a selling strategy" in order to drop the price after a month…
Appealing to misinformed buyers (and their agents!) who are searching for 'price reductions' will only delay your home sale, and it will spin you around backwards…
Pricing real estate foolishly is a recipe for disaster.
Smart buyers are looking for properly priced real estate opportunities. And they are finding them.
In today's real estate market, if you effectively price a property correctly from the beginning… and market it correctly… it will sell. You will also tend to get a far better price and a quicker sale.
Thinking of buying or selling property? Please call! You can phone us at 305-793-1365 or 305-632-0164 anytime … or send us a note here. The Restivo Team.

Jharkhand Rajya Sabha polls: Congress-JMM front may work, but history of horse-trading, distrust remains a concern
In 2014, Congress and JMM had gone separate wasy before the state Assembly Election after they fail to come to an understanding on seat arrangements. The fall has left a void of trust between the two parties
Despite their bitter fallout in 2014, the Indian National Congress and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha recently announced to join hands in the upcoming polls. JMM executive president Hemant Soren reportedly met Rahul Gandhi at the latter's residence this week during which a decision was taken to form a united Opposition in Jharkhand.
As part of the deal, while JMM will support Congress' candidate during the Rajya Sabha polls on 23 March, Gandhi's Congress will lend a hand to Soren's JMM in the 2019 Lok Sabha and Jharkhand Legislative Assembly polls, reports said.
Congress' Jharkhand in-charge RPN Singh and state Congress chief Ajoy Kumar were also present at the meeting.
Speaking to News18, JMM spokesman Vinod Pandey said that JMM has agreed to support Congress' candidate in the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls. "Numerically, the other seat will come to us but we are indeed worried as dirty tricks can be applied. Ethically, BJP should not field or back a second candidate. But like Congress, they too want to increase tally in the Upper House," he was quoted as saying.
Votes tally
Two seats from Jharkhand will go to polls later this month as the terms of sitting MPs Pradeep Balmuchu (Congress) and Sanjiv Kumar (JMM) are slated to expire on 3 May.
Congress currently has seven MLAs in the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly whereas JMM has 19 MLAs.To get elected to the Rajya Sabha, a contestant would require at least 27 first preference votes.
According to News18's Alok Kumar, both Congress and JMM have claimed support of two MLAs from BSP and CPI(ML), while two MLAs from Babulal Marandi's Jharkhand Vikas Morcha might extend support as well. This takes the overall tally of votes for Congress's candidate to 30. Congress, therefore, should have no problem gettings its candidate elected to the Upper House.
Jharkhand Rajya Sabha polls have a history of corruption
However, despite the support, the election may not be a smooth affair for Congress, especially since the Rajya Sabha elections in Jharkhand have always been marred by controversies and allegations of horse trading.
In the 2016 Rajya Sabha bypoll, JMM candidate lost despite support from Congress. Incidentally, two members from the Opposition camp voted in favour of the BJP candidate while one MLA from each Congress and JMM candidate didn't vote at all. JMM had then alleged Chief Minister Raghubar Das of horse-trading.
In 2014, JMM leader Sita Soren (daughter-in-law of Shibu Soren) was arrested in 2014 for horse-trading during the 2012 Rajya Sabha elections.
Alliance may be good for JMM-Congress prospects
But that's not the only obstacle facing the Congress-JMM alliance in Jharkhand. In 2014, Congress and JMM had gone separate ways before the state Assembly Election after they failed to come to an understanding on seat arrangements. The fall has left a void of trust between the two parties.
No doubt party patriarch, Shibu Soren advised caution to JMM leaders. The JMM patriarch had reportedly warned Hemant to get everything agreed as part of the alliance deal in writing.
JMM leader Abhishek Singh, however, played down the JMM patriarch's warning. Speaking to Indian Express, Singh, said, "He did not say that the alliance should not happen. But, when the mediaperson asked him, he expressed his doubts based on his past experience. And he was of the view that the agreement should be in writing. There is no need to blow his views out-of-proportion."
Besides, another major problem facing the now-back-again alliance partners is overcoming the BJP/Modi-wave in Jharkhand, which saw the party not just performing well not just in Lok Sabha but the Assembly polls as well. During the 2014 Assembly polls, though JMM managed to gain one seat (winning total 19 seats), Congress performed poorly, winning just six seats (and losing eight seats it had won in the 2009 Assembly polls).
Share wise, JMM had emerged as the second largest party accounting for 20.43 percent (12 percent in 2009) of all votes polled whereas Congress had polled just 10.46 percent votes (falling below the 13 percent votes polled in 2009). Though even when combined together, their vote share falls behind BJP's 31.26 percent, the alliance may have a chance in the upcoming polls, especially since JMM has constantly been gaining ground in the state, and recently retained the Litipara seat during the 2017 bypolls in the state.
As for Congress, despite the 2014 poor show, the party had managed to beat BJP ally AJSU in Lohardagga bypolls in 2015 and retained its Panki seat in 2016. But Congress must keep its house in order. Internal rifts in Congress' Jharkhand unit were one of the reasons behind the party's poor performance in the state.

Appendix A - Case Study 1
Appendix A - Case Study 1
Here is how Daniel Vassallo approaches his path to freedom.
It's a comprehensive mentality, which allows him full autonomy over how he works, what he works on, whom he works with, and extends even beyond work…
Everything below is in his own words:
Do you want to develop a f*** you attitude?
… And become immune from the judgment of others?
… And not be at the mercy of things outside your control?
Let me share with you how I used negative visualization throughout my career to build my own f*** you attitude.
First of all, negative visualization is a technique dating back at least 2000 years where you imagine negative outcomes, and then figure out how you'd deal with them. The goal is to free yourself from the anxiety of losing what you have, or not obtaining what you want.
And a f* you attitude is your capacity to say "f* you" to people who demand that you to do something you'd rather not do. Or the ability to say "f*** it" when something outside your control affects you negatively.
So, here are a few things I tested on myself:
1. Write your resignation letter on your 1st day on the job.
Okay, I never actually did this literally, but whenever I was working for someone, I always kept an up-to-date plan of how I'd handle the situation if at any point I had to resign on the spot.
I would thoroughly plan what I'd do next, how I'd explain the resignation to my family, where I'd get the money to cover expenses until I found a new income source, how I'd handle my immigration situation, etc. And I kept that plan always up-to-date, ready for execution.
2. Go to work every day assuming you'll get fired.
This is similar to the previous one, but much harder, since it requires preparation on how to deal with the embarrassment of getting fired.
Imagine your boss telling you that you're fired for performance reasons. Imagine security escorting you out of the building, and having to go home in the middle of the day.
You'd always be at the mercy of others if you're not comfortable with that possibility.
My main preparation was to be very careful to never attach any part of my identity to my employer. I made sure I never felt I belonged there. I was simply selling my time, skills, & knowledge to whoever I was employed with. This arrangement was just a business transaction.
The harder part is making your family, friends, & acquaintances think of your relationship with your employer the same way. I made sure I avoided glorifying my employer, and I voluntarily shared what I intended to do next once my current arrangement ended.
When you share your next steps, it shows that you see your current arrangement as temporary, not as your identity. Getting fired would simply let you execute your next steps earlier, rather than dent your self-worth. But build your story in advance — before you get fired!
3. Treat job interviews as a hunting task.
Before you invest any time & energy preparing for a job interview, make yourself comfortable with the idea that it could be for nothing. I took every job interview expecting a rejection. If I got an offer, it was just a bonus.
The same attitude can be taken with college admissions or exam results. Expect a failure. Get comfortable with it. Imagine how you'd deal with the failure, and how you'd recover from it. If you get lucky and don't get a failure, you simply win one additional option.
4. Assume all your wealth can disappear overnight.
A strange phenomenon happens when you accumulate some wealth. You start worrying more about not losing it, rather than how to benefit from it. The way I free myself from this "burden" is to mentally write it all off.
Imagine waking up tomorrow to find that your wealth has shrunk by 90%. It could be a stock market crash, a flash economic recession, hyperinflation, defaults of gov bonds, or something else we can't even contemplate yet.
As soon as I had a plan on how I'd recover from that scenario, a lot of new options opened in front of me. Instead of worrying about preserving my wealth, I started seeing how I could use my wealth to design my lifestyle in a way that better matched my preferences.
Then if something outside of my control forces me to make a lifestyle regression, it's no big deal. I can say "f*** it." I've already imagined how it would be, how I'd transition into it, and how I'd cope with it. It also helps that most likely I have already lived it.
5. Have no expectations.
Imagine if you never got another promotion or another raise. Imagine if you had to live in your current house for the rest of your life. Imagine if 30 years from now you'd still be driving the same car. Imagine if you never retired from work.
Getting comfortable with no expectation of any improvement is probably the easiest step towards a f*** you attitude. Preparing for a downgrade is probably more important, but much harder. At the very least, expect no upgrades.
In many cases, the lack of f*** you money can be compensated by a lack of desire. If you don't want anything from anyone, you won't be beholden to anybody.

Range Rover Evoque is now a contract hire favourite
The Range Rover Evoque has made a significant entry into one of the most popular models searched for in the contract hire and leasing market
The Range Rover Evoque has made a significant entry into one of the most popular models searched for in the contract hire and leasing market. A list comprised by ContractHireandLeasin.com found the new Evoque to be in third position of most searched for models in January.
The Range Rover Evoque was launched in September last year and has claimed over fifty awards from around the world including BBC TopGear Magazine's 2011 Car of the Year prize.
Richard Lawton from ContractHireAndLeasing.com said "the demand for compact SUVs has continued to grow, and the Evoque is Land Rover's much-awaited entry into this market. What's more by focusing on fuel economy and lightweight design, Land Rover has appeased consumer demand for vehicles that are compact, easy to manouevre and fuel efficient. With economy as strong as 57.6mpg the Evoque is an ideal urban vehicle that is also able to cope with the rough and tumble of rural conditions come the weekend."
The Evoque offers a choice of three engines, two body styles, three design themes and a wide range of options and accessories. Customers can also create their own Range Rover Evoque with the online configuarator; options include twelve exterior colours, three contrasting interiors, seven alloy wheel designs and a full sized fixed panoramic glass roof. The design themes are named Pure, Prestige and Dynamic.

After a breakout year in which Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers got lots of attention online, played a monthlong residency at the Rickshaw Stop, and toured seemingly nonstop, the S.F. folk-rock singer and her band are back with a new single, "Little Too Late." We're thrilled to premiere "Ravenous," the second song of the new release, right here on All Shook Down. Built on a pulsing bassline and an eerie, repeating organ riff, "Ravenous" showcases the warm power of Bluhm's voice, sounding like some long-lost Fleetwood Mac hit. The digital single sees official release tomorrow, Jan. 15. Check it out here:
Bluhm and the Gramblers are on a national tour now, and their next local show is Friday, Feb. 1, at Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley -- but unfortunately, it's sold out. No matter, though: Bluhm and the Gramblers never stay away from a Bay Area stage for long.

CEO and top executive shake-ups at large corporations is always something that we keep an eye on. Whether it's a dark horse candidate taking the helm, or an industry veteran heading out, these changes can be meaningful for the future of the company, and impactful from an investors' standpoint. For example, let's rewind to 2011 and examine Ron Johnson's appointment as CEO of JC Penney. During his 17 month tenure, his forward thinking ideas and initiatives were aggressive, and the average shopper didn't embrace the pricing and merchandise model. In an effort to attract a higher level shopper, Johnson alienated core customers, taking too big of a swing and suggesting that he didn't necessarily understand the business.
From an investing standpoint, this shakeup and large philosophical business shift should have been a red flag. In 2014, we have seen some major company changes in the industry (although nothing quite as negatively notable as the Johnson/JC Penney example). Below, we highlight some of the biggest industry shake-ups this year, and what it might mean moving forward.
February: Satya Nadella becomes Microsoft's third CEO
Earlier this year, Satya Nadella took over CEO reigns from Steve Ballmer, in an interesting move given his dark horse candidacy. Microsoft is a complicated company, as they have a lot of cross pollination between divisions, so we think it was promising to bring an insider into the C-suite. The company needed a visionary with respect to technology, and Nadella has already proven himself – placing an emphasis on business customers and moving products toward the cloud. He has a holistic view, and is definitely moving Microsoft in the right direction.

In what might have been one of the more surprising shake-ups this year, Bill Gross, co-founder of the Pacific Investment Management Co., left the investment management giant and headed for Janus Capital Group. The move has been disruptive to the mutual fund world, and it will be interesting to keep an eye on both companies over the short-term. While some investors might follow Gross and invest in his new Janus Unconstrained Bond Fund, it is unlikely to see a significant and direct shift. Performance had been dwindling at PIMCO, and money had already begun to shift out of company prior to Gross' departure.
September: Larry Ellison and the Oracle redirect
Last month, Larry Ellison, CEO of computer technology corporation Oracle, decided to step down, relinquishing his CEO responsibilities and opting instead to stay on board as a Chief Technology Officer. The interesting move here is that the CEO role will be split between Mark Hurd and Safra Catz. Given their past roles (both sharing power as co-presidents for the last four years), we will see if these two can truly exist in a CEO alliance.
October: Abigail Johnson moves up the (family) Fidelity ranks
Most recently, Abigail Johnson was announced to take over Fidelity's CEO role from her elderly father, Edward Johnson III. Over the last few years, it seems that Abigail was garnering more responsibility, so this shift should not come as a total surprise. Of course, investment and overall business philosophies will be similar between the father-daughter duo, and since the Johnson's understand that investors' demand continuity, do not expect to see dramatic change from the company over the short- or long-term.
All four of these examples show a sense of continuity, in that no company is really doing a 180 in regard to changing the scope of their business or brand. When a company changes leadership, it is important to look at whether the new CEO is leading the business in the right direction and driving initiatives forward. 2014's movers and shakers seem to have learned a lesson from Ron Johnson, because after all, you do need change, but you don't need a revolution.

The Fylde is full of fun for big groups. Shoot clay from the skies at Blackpool Gun Club or Toplands Clay Shoot. Or get into some great golf at Fairhaven, St Annes or Open Championship course and venue of legends, Royal Lytham.
Fish the lakes and lodges at Greenhalgh Fishery, Whitmore Fishery or Fylde Trout Fishery, try some off-road hacking with Wrea Green Equestrian Centre, or Go Ape at Rivington. Rent bikes or zorb at Ribby Hall, or maybe dispense some bruised backsides at Impact Paintballing in Blackpool.
Blackpool's also good for kiss-me-quick fun and a jolly jape down the prom. Ride the Masterblaster at the Sandcastle, the UK's largest waterpark (indoors), hit the Pleasure Beach and brave the Big One, or twirl to the music of a Wurlitzer in the Tower Ballroom.
Blow away cobwebs with a walk round Fairhaven Lake, rent a beach hut at St Anne's, or hit the high wire in a harness at Kaos. Try a spa day at Skin and Tonic, outlet shopping at Freeport, or check out the concerts, community events and theatre at the Lowther Pavilion.
From popping out for a pint to the pub on the village green to super-chic cocktails at Uber in posh Poulton, there's something for all tastes on the Fylde. In Blackpool, you'll find pubs and clubs aplenty, laughs at the Comedy Station and a cheeky good time at revue bar Funny Girls.
For a more-refined night out, try Lytham, with its cocktail bars, champagne bars and tapas restaurants. Sip mojitos in The Loft or, for the continental-café feel, head to Zest, sit al fresco and watch the world go by. In August, join 100,000 others and catch some global names at the Lytham Festival.
Further afield, but not much, pick from real-ale pubs to cutting-edge clubbing in Manchester. Have your drinks mixed at The Alchemist, or mix bowling and cocktails at All-Star Lanes. Or hit the Northern Quarter's numerous bars, including Pub of the Year Port Street Beer House, and Bakerie, where they bake their own bread.
Vulture some culture at the Lowry, the Opera House and the Palace Theatre. Dance till dawn at the Hula Tiki Lounge, Tiger Tiger or the Black Dog Ballroom. Or maybe spin the wheel at Manchester 235, a Vegas-style casino with restaurants, gaming and a glamorous cocktail bar.

Hi peeps…
So over the last 2 weeks, I've ticked off some things off my Bucket List.
I watched 2 of the 10 'Best Films' at the Oscars over the last decade. They were The Departed, and Million Dollar Baby. I recommend both… (Tissues at the ready with Million Dollar Baby 😥)
I also ticked off my 'Get on a bus, get off at a stop never been and explore'. This is a cheaper one, but really enjoyable! I found a nice little walk, after having a delicious hot chocolate!
If you want to get updates via email re: my bucket list, check out my website here
I've also discovered Google+ at long last! I quite like it! You?
I've been doing some more songwriting, really wished I could get into the studio!

Getting a driver's license is a rite of passage for Atlanta, Georgia teenagers. Teenage driving is also a topic of great concern for parents and rightfully so. According to the Georgia Department of Driver Services (GDDS), in the year 2000, one out of five fatal crashes in Georgia involved speed, with drivers ages 16-17 having the highest rate of motor vehicle fatalities. Statistics like this led to a collaborative effort of highway safety advocates, legislators, law enforcement officials, educators, businesses and media for the creation of a number of laws aimed at educating and slowly introducing Georgia teenagers to the privilege of driving. These are laws that every Atlanta, Georgia parent should be familiar with as their teenager approaches driving age.
The first such law enacted by our Georgia Legislators is the Teenage and Adult Driver Responsibility Act (TADRA). Enacted on July 1, 1997, TADRA is a three-step educational process that requires Georgia teenagers obtain the experience they need before being granted a full license:
At the age of 15, a Georgia teenager can obtain an instructional permit upon the passing of a written examination. This type of permit allows a Georgia teenager to drive as long as they are accompanied by a passenger who is at least 21 years old and possesses a valid Class C driver's license.
STEP TWO NTERMEDIATE LICENSE (Class D)
Georgia teenagers between the ages of 16 and 18 who have held an Instructional Permit for 12 months, may take a driving test and if passed, they may obtain an Intermediate License (Class D). The Intermediate License has a number of very important restrictions:
1. No driving between the hours of 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. No exceptions.
2. Passenger restrictions:
- For the initial six-month period immediately following the issuance of an Intermediate License, a Georgia teenager may not drive with any other passenger in the vehicle that is not a member of the driver's immediate family.
- During the second six-month period immediately following issuance of an Intermediate License, a Georgia teenager may not drive with more than one other passenger in the vehicle who is less than 21 years of age. This restriction does not apply to passengers that are members of the driver's immediate family.
- After the second six-month period, a Georgia teenager may not drive with more than three other passengers in the vehicle who are less than 21 years of age. This restriction also does not apply to passengers that are members of the driver's immediate family.
STEP THREE FULL LICENSE (Class C)
A Georgia teenager who reaches the age of 18 having held an Intermediate License for 12 months and having incurred no major traffic convictions during that 12 month period will finally be granted a Class C License. The following violations must not occur during the preceding 12 month period:
- Eluding a police officer
- Drag racing
- Reckless driving
- Hit and run
- Any violation that assesses four or more points on the driver's license
The second law that every Atlanta, Georgia parent should be familiar with as their teenager approaches driving age is Georgia's "Joshua's Law". Enacted on January 1, 2007, Joshua's Law requires that all 16-year-olds applying for an Intermediate License (Class D) must complete a Department of Driver Services approved driver education course AND complete a total of 40 hours of supervised driving, 6 hours of which must be at night, with a parent or guardian's sworn verification that these driving requirements have been met. Any Georgia teenager who has not completed an approved driver education course must wait until age 17 to be eligible for an Intermediate License. He or she must still complete a total of at least 40 hours of supervised driving, including at least 6 hours at night. The same verification in writing by a parent or guardian is required.
The third set of laws that every Atlanta, Georgia parent should be familiar with before allowing their teenager the privilege of driving concerns the use of a cell phone while driving. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, 16% of all distracted driving crashes involve drivers under the age of 20. Therefore, it should not be surprising that Georgia law regarding texting while driving bans texting for all drivers of any age. However, for Georgia teenagers holding an Intermediate License, Georgia law bans all cell phone use (both handheld and hands-free) while driving.
These laws have generally been viewed as successful in educating Georgia Teenagers in just how dangerous a motor vehicle can be as well as easing them into the privilege of driving a motor vehicle on Georgia roads. In fact, according to the GDDS, in the 18 months after the enactment of TADRA there was a 44.5 percent decline in teenage speed-related crashes, which was five times less than the rate of drivers over age 24. However, many believe that more is needed. Check back here frequently as we will post any updates to Georgia Law that parents of teenagers should be familiar with as soon as they are enacted.

Executive Producer of Live! With Kelly and Michael, Michael Gelman will be joining Chefs Marc Murphy and Robert Irvine as well as our own Dan Rattiner as a judge at Dan's GrillHampton on July 17 at Sayer Park in Bridgehampton.
As a top morning show executive producer, Gelman has seen his fair share of all types of segments his show has come across, especially when it comes to the many recipes either Kelly or Michael have created on the show.
On his Instagram profile @GelmanLive he refers to himself as a "Foodie" and his judgments will be put to the test as he uses his taste buds to help declare a winner during the ultimate NYC vs Hamptons chefs battle: GrillHampton. Taking a peek at his Instagram page alone establishes that Gelman not only loves to eat decadently, but with a twist on a rather normal dish.
From his own grilled watermelon goat cheese pizzas to bacon and Belgium waffle egg sandwiches, Gelman's pics show that he can not only dish out food but also take whatever is being handed to him, no matter how innovative.
Gelman will make a perfect addition to the GrillHampton judge's table this summer, and hopefully his fork (and stomach) is ready for the delicious task.

New Year : New Brand
When Dr. Benjamin McNabb was 16 years old, he started working at Eastland Drug Company, and through his experience working for this local business, he decided to attend college to become a pharmacist. After graduating from The University of Texas at Austin with his Doctor of Pharmacy degree, Ben returned to Eastland to purchase his hometown pharmacy out of the love for his community. This July, Ben and his wife Heather bought Eastland Drug Company, The Gold Lantern, and Francie's Fountain and Deli. Since then, they have been excited to share their love for the community by putting in place new, innovative services to benefit the customers and the people of Eastland County. One goal for the business is to expand the pharmacy's services to other parts of the county and region including Ranger, Cisco, and the Big Country. In order to express their love for the people of Eastland County and to reach others regionally, Ben and Heather are choosing to unify the soda fountain, The Gold Lantern, and Eastland Drug Company by naming the business: Love Oak.
The name, Love Oak, originated when the owners, Ben and Heather McNabb, were married in July of 2012. Instead of using the traditional unity candle during the ceremony, Ben and Heather decided to use a sapling live oak tree to symbolize their union. Soil was collected from three important locations: Ben's childhood home in Eastland, TX, Heather's childhood home in Deer Park, TX, and the place where they fell in love, The University of Texas at Austin. During the wedding ceremony, the young oak tree was planted with all three soils to symbolize their pasts and how it established a foundation for their future life together. This little live oak tree represents Ben and Heather's commitment and love for each other. Just as the live oak grows bigger and stronger each day so will the love that they share. This is not any ordinary live oak; it is Ben and Heather's Love Oak.
By naming Eastland Drug Company, Love Oak Pharmacy, they are sharing their desire to have a personal connection with their customers. Ben said, "We care about our community. We have a deep personal connection with it. We feel our new Love Oak brand expresses our personality, and our desire to love, serve, and care for our neighbors."
Look out for more information next week about the many new services coming from Love Oak.

Some people doubt you can compete without eating the meat, partly because they consider plant-eaters don't get enough quality protein from their humble beans and kale etc to grow big and strong. Well, those doubts can be left behind, along with the rare steaks and protein powders, when you hear about people like Vanessa Espinoza. She's a vegan powerlifter, and co-author of the excellent book, 'Plant-Based Muscle'1 , and she's just set yet another powerlifting record.
Last weekend, she competed in the United States Powerlifting Association (USPA)2 Southwest Desert Classic (May 26, 2018) in Surprise, Arizona, USA. The USPA is the most prestigious powerlifting federation in America.
At a bodyweight of 132 pounds/59.8 kg, and as a vegan athlete of 18 years, at age 35, Vanessa bench-pressed 236 pounds/107 kg, over 100 pounds/45 kg more than she weighs. She also squatted a conservative 303 pounds/137 kg, and deadlifted 402 pounds/182 kg (more than three times her bodyweight), for an elite total of 941 pounds/426 kg, combining the best successful lift from each of the three powerlifting exercises.
Vanessa also won her weight class, and she won the "Best Female Lifter" award for the highest overall total, even though she was one of the lightest weight powerlifters in the competition.
After setting records in each of her first two powerlifting competitions, in the Revolution Powerlifting Syndicate (RPS)3 federation, already at a world-class level, Vanessa and her coach, vegan powerlifter Doug Tice4 , decided to take Vanessa's strength and talents to the best competition in the most prominent federation. Once again, the results were the same. Another record.
Setting records is something Vanessa has become accustomed to. She was an All-American basketball player in high school, and still holds records at Colorado State University where she played Division I basketball before being drafted into the WNBA. She also won the Colorado Golden Gloves5 boxing title three times. And in three powerlifting competitions, she has set records in every one. In due time, her only competition may be her own previous records. She is that strong.
Doug Tice says: "We came here to prove a point about vegans in powerlifting. I would say our point was made."
Robert Cheeke, himself a remarkable vegan bodybuilder, says of Vanessa: "I am a proud 'Plant-Based Muscle' co-author!"
To view photos, watch videos, and follow along with Vanessa's powerlifting career, follow Vanessa6 and Doug7 on Instagram, and check out our Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness Instagram page8 for some recently uploaded videos from Vanessa's competition.

Case Study on Upgrading Hospitality Visuals
Since 2014, G6 Hospitality with our assistance, has been upgrading visuals for their 1,400+ properties nationwide. They started with approximately 4,500 images averaging 800×600 pixels in size for all of their properties. That was an average of four photos per property. They increased the average number of photos to +30 per property, adding almost 45,000 high-resolution photos all exceeding 4,000 pixels wide, known as 4K resolution. These improvements led to a 49% increase in booking conversion rates through their brand website from December 2014 to December 2017.
G6 Hospitality has over 1,400 properties nationwide consisting of the Motel 6 and Studio 6 Extended Stay economy lodging brands. Approximately 20% of their overall bookings come from third party distribution channels with the remaining originating through direct channels including brand websites, call center and direct to property.
The Goal
G6 hoped to increase their direct bookings as well as on third party channels as a result of increasing the quality and quality of the properties' images. The goal was to see an increase in booking conversion from December 2014 to December 2017 for this particular case study, and to consistently increase as more images are added.
The Approach
G6 began to develop a new brand website in 2014 and had photos professionally shot to showcase their corporate properties (corporate properties make up 30% of G6's total properties.) They went from an average of four to over thirty images per property. Following the improvements made to the images of their corporate properties, they then went forward with producing professional images for all of their franchise properties. This increased their total number of photos from 4,500 to over 45,000 and counting. Additionally, the image size went from 800×600 to up to over 4,000 pixels wide depending on the OTA they are being delivered to.
• Overhaul of website – In February 2015, G6 launched new brand websites on a responsive web platform that provides a mobile optimized experience with a focus on showcasing property level content, including adding room level photos that are integrated into the booking process.
• OTA Content scores – over the past 3 years, leveraging the new portfolio on high-resolution images and their partnership with IcePortal, G6 has increased their overall content scores from the OTAs to over 85% for the portfolio, with most properties exceeding 95%.
The Outcome
As a result of upgrading their visuals on their brand website and the OTAs, G6 experienced a 49% increase in bookings from December 2014 to December 2017. They hope to continue seeing these numbers increase as they plan to have over 80,000 images across all of their properties by the end of 2018.

T206 "Wagner" of Soccer Cards - Proposal
I have long wondered what the T206 "Wagner" of soccer cards would be. I have tried to think about the components that "made" the Wagner. In the end I thought of the following:
1. Early superstar of the spot
2. Highly collected set
3. Some rarity story
Real, significant $ transactions that transcend supposed "value" for the card / player.
My proposal would be.... wait for it.... the 1913-14 Taddy & Co. Billy Meredith card.
For those of you who do not know this set. The first issue was done in 1907 and then a follow on in 1908. The 1913-14 (London Mixture) cards are significantly more scarce presumably due to World War One. You can learn more about it here:
So why do I consider the Billy Meredith 1913-14 issue to the be most desired card in the set and probably most valuable pre-WWII soccer card?
1. The London Mixture cards are something of lore. We are still cataloging the Manchester United cards from the set (and many other sub sets). Most cards in the set have only a few known copies (whereas the 1907 and 1908 versions are much more available).
2. Meredith is the only English Football "HOFer" in the entire 1913-14 set
3. The first Meredith card surfaced only around 2002 from what I can tell in British catalogs, meaning that it was unknown until that point
4. While I have not been able to find the auction, I have heard that the card sold for roughly $16,000 in or around 2010 - huge money for any soccer card (until the recent rise in Pele rookies).
From all of the amazing pre-war cards, this card seems to fit the bill from my perspective, though I am willing to change my mind in case someone has a different proposal.
I have attached pictures of the catalogs to see the progression.
Looking forward to comments.

IMO, there is only one T206 Wagner. No other sport has a super short printed superstar card in one of its top 3 sets.
Id never really heard of the 1913 Taddy set until you mentioned it and if there are only a few copies of each card, I dont see how it can be highly collected. How many people are attempting that set?
Ill take your word for it if this is the most valuable Pre-War card, but I dont think there is any Wagner of soccer. And thats perfectly fine.

I actually disagree, my friend

I admit that my knowledge of soccer cards pales in comparison to some of the posters on here, but I love learning about the iconic cards from other sports. I think the Billy Meredith card is way too obscure to be the "Wagner of soccer cards." The T206 Wagner has been famous for 100 years; the Meredith card has only been known for 15 years.
if we are going to force any soccer card into being the equivalent of the T206 Wagner, I think it is the Quigol Pele.

I can pretty much guarantee that most Brits would not know who Honus Wagner is, so I am not surprised that Billy Meredith seems obscure to US collectors. However, I am pretty sure that most Brits would have heard of Babe Ruth. I could be wrong, but I think that this is reasonable given the amount of cards issued overseas that include him (pretty much like Pele - the global super star with cards of him issued all over the world). Therefore, in defining my "Wagner" I was looking for a valuable card of an amazing player / HOFer from a highly collected prewar set that was not just the rookie card of the sports best player - that is easy. I was also trying to stay away from post war cards in the spirit of the Wagner (which would include all Pele cards).
BTW, Billy Meredith had a 20+ year career and have many cards issued of him and he (and Steve Bloomer) are probably the top two early British Football stars. Of course there is no true Wagner of soccer cards... was just hoping to have fun with some entrants and see what others thought.
This was just meant to be a fun conversation and I was hoping to get some other "entrants" to the game from other posters to see what other cards are out there.

Very few people on this side of the pond would have heard of Honus Wagner. As for Babe Ruth? Most people into sports would have some knowledge of him but the most famous baseball player over here (insofar as the player most people, including those not interested in sporting history, could likely name) would be Joe DiMaggio. This is because of his relationship with Marilyn Monroe and, more so, the reference to him in the Simon & Garfunkel song.
Billy Meredith was, without doubt, an iconic player in the earlier years of the sport - although he probably played a bit too early for his name to be recognisable today. Anyone with an interest in British football history will, without doubt, know of him but, for those with a more general liking for the game, the pre-World War Two player they would likely be able to name is Dixie Dean and, without doubt, Stanley Matthews (although much of his career was post war).
I dont know the card market but anything Meredith-related will command a premium given his Manchester United connection. Manchester United are, by some distance, the most collected British club and the prices achieved for rarer Manchester United items are vastly higher than those for any other team.
I think the Balas Futebol Pele card and the Taddy and Co. Billy Meredith card are just too rare to qualify as the Wagner of soccer cards. The Wagner T206 isn't at all rare relative to many pre-war baseball cards. Honus Wagner himself has several cards that are far, far more elusive than the T206. Much of the mystique of the Wagner T206 is because it at least circulates once in a while. That is why I would go with the Quigol Pele.
The card at least has to sell/go to auction once or twice a year or so IMO to be a Wagner equivalent. Look at some of the other cards that are often considered Wagner T206 equivalents -- the 1935 National Chicle Bronko Nagurski for American football, the 1948 Bowman George Mikan for basketball, the C55 Georges Vezina for hockey. All those cards are from mainstream sets, yet none of those cards are impossible rarities.

Interesting topic. Alright, let's look at the criteria Mr. Jurgela has:
1. Early superstar of the sport.
I think Honus Wagner would be known to baseball fans even if he didn't have his famous T206 card. The same isn't true for Meredith. I would say that 99.99 percent of soccer fans don't even know who he was. I didn't learn who he was until I got deep into soccer card collecting.
2. Highly collected set.
First you wrote "highly collected set," and then you proceeded by saying "for those of you who don't know this set." Funny. If this is a highly collected set, then you shouldn't have to explain it to us. Oh, and I have never heard of this Taddy set either.
And finally, it looks to me as if you selected Meredith because he played in the same era as Wagner, but it doesn't have to be this way.
My selection is this card below:
1957 Balas Futebol #11 Pele
This is the first card of the king. I am not sure how many examples exist, but it's extremely difficult to locate (so don't even try searching for it on eBay ) The above picture was taken from an album owned by the biggest soccer card collector in Brazil, Moacir Peres, a retired judge.
I would give up my whole entire soccer collection for this one card.
Successful transactions on Net54: Peter_Spaeth, rustywilly, esehombre, scooter729, NiceDocter, Mishu2nite, wolf441, jdeptula, mckinneyj and more!
^Well, thats an interesting item but from another set Ive never heard of.
If there is a Quigol Garrincha that would be a Post-War equivalent (short printed, popular set). But there probably isnt...
I think it makes most sense to establish what the most collected sets are and then see if there are any short print superstars.
My flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/140288876@N04/albums
If we are going to push this into post war, I like the choice of the Quigol Garrincha as a SSP!
When I refer to highly collectible, I was mainly referring to the UK card seen, not the North American card seen. I don't think that ANY soccer cards are highly collected in the USA. In the UK, however I understand that Taddy & Co have quite the following. Similary to the Pinnace sets. Any time you find websites dedicated to a particular set tends to say something.

This is a very basic tutorial to get started voice acting. My impression is that a lot of people are starting from scratch when they submit an audition here, this is my attempt to save you some time, and help you submit some quality recordings. So if you're new here, give this a read as it might help both you and the administrators.
How do I determine if my sound quality is good enough?
This is probably the most important question to ask yourself when starting to record, especially on this forum. There are many recordings here that are plagued by poor sound quality, which is a shame, because a lot of people here have potential but lack the proper quality. The obvious issue with this is, that you can't have bad recordings used in the game, it would take all the immersion out of the game, and lead to an overall terrible game experience. If we're doing this, it should be done right. There are a couple of reasons why your sound quality might be lacking, and these are some you should be looking out for:
You can hear the room you're in. Also called reverb. You don't want it to sound like you're standing in a bathroom recording. This is caused by you being in a room where the sound is being bounced off of the walls, not enough things absorbing noises. The solution to this problem is to either to move to a better room with less reverb or using a vocal booth. I myself had this problem, and solved it by using a duvet stacked around the microphone when recording. Also, don't get too far away from your microphone, it'll cause the same problem.
Reverb example
Background noise. You need to isolate yourself from background noise, such as cars and other people talking, if the background noise isn't too loud or too distinct, it can be removed with software.
You blow air into the microphone. This is common when pronouncing p's, you'll unwillingly blow microphone. The best way to fix this is to get your hands on a pop filter. The cheap solution is just to throw a thick sock over it. In the example below, I used a pop-filter on the second recording.
The issue with p's
The last most common issue, is simply the lack of a proper microphone. The way to determine if your microphone not up to the task, is simply to do a recording and listen for all of the above issues after cleaning the sound up. If the quality still sounds terrible, you probably need some new equipment.
Cheap microphone, cleaned with Audacity
What equipment should I use?
First off, figure out how well your current microphone works. If it works, but you're not quite there, you might wanna submit an audition, and wait for feedback. If the feedback is positive, consider investing in a better microphone.
When first starting out, the simplest/fastest/cheapest way to get to a more professional quality sound is to use a USB microphone. I myself use a Blue Yeti, which is a relatively cheap microphone around 100$ USD. You can give my audition a listen to check out the sound quality.
Audition using Blue Yeti
Another example would be the Shure PG42. I do recommend getting some sort of pop-filter to use with these microphones, as they are quite sensitive to air blowing on them.
As this is a basic introduction, I won't bother going into more detail with more expensive microphones. If you want more information and recommendation on these, take a look here and here.
What software should I use?
There is all sorts of recording software out there, but in all honesty, with the amount of editing needed for voice acting all you need is audacity:
Yes, it looks like something made 10 years ago, but it is good at what it does. Refrain from using programs that ONLY record, we need to be able to edit the recording. Basic editing, in my opinion include three things:
- Noise removal
- Compressor
- Normalize
These are all so the things that I normally do to my recording, as I am not a fan of editing my voice too much. You can find a simple tutorial on how to do just that, right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQGccGMKTy8
Recording and acting
Getting proper sound will only get you so far, you of course need to be able to do a bit of acting. To be honest I'm not the best actor out there(surprise!), so I probably won't be able to help you out much in that department. Fortunately Bigg Nate posted some guidelines to acting, and how to make recording that acting easier.
Rules to recording By Bigg Nate.
1. Write out what you want to say and remember we read faster than we can speak out load when we are reading. So try and memorize your lines.
2. Read what you wrote or what is written, out loud 3 times and gage how it sounds to you.
3. Once you have a written copy that sounds good practice your cadence and inflection of your voice.
4. When you feel good about the words then Record them in order three times. Please double check your equipment level and presets. Before starting the actual voice acting, make sure you roll 5 sec of silence, this way you can edit out the background noise later for a more clean recording.
5. Try and keep the delivery the same speed and pitch. Find your emotion in the voice without slurring the words. Diction is very important.
6. If you stop for a misread or mistake just start that take over form the last sentence. Then go back and edit it later, there is no reason to waste time on restarting the recording.
7. Make sure you listen to all your takes before uploading the file in a MP3 format!
Before I go, let me just emphasize that I am not an administrator, or responsible for the VA section, but feel free to contact me if you need any help.
Good luck with the recordings!

Return to: College of Science and Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is an engineering discipline that requires an understanding of mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics and energy, and involves the application of principles of physics and mathematics to develop mechanical systems. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) defines mechanical engineering as the branch of engineering that serves society through the analysis, design, and manufacture of systems that convert a source of energy to useful mechanical work. The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program emphasizes service, systems-based knowledge, and sustainability with an eye toward the interface of traditional mechanical engineering with new and emerging fields, in particular those fields in maritime sciences and marine biology that directly impact the Gulf Coast where the program is strategically located.
In accordance with the expectations of the accrediting organization ABET, the educational objectives of this program are to graduate students who will:
Graduates will have the ability to work professionally and ethically, as individuals and in multi-disciplinary teams, in both the thermal and mechanical systems areas, including the design, manufacture, and control of such systems. Students will develop a deep understanding of the impact of engineering solutions from a global, financial, environmental, societal, political, ethical, health and safety, and sustainability perspective.
Students will:
The mechanical engineering curriculum consists of a minimum of 129 credit hours and can be divided into four main areas: University Core requirements, mathematics and science requirements, engineering requirements, and technical electives.
Because courses in mechanical engineering tend to be sequential, it is very important that students have the proper prerequisites. When in doubt, students should check with their faculty mentor.
A summary of the hours necessary for graduation follows:
First-Year Seminars (when applicable)*
*Transfer students with 24 or more hours are exempt from First-Year Seminar
The specific requirements for each aspect of the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree are indicated below.
See "University Core Curriculum Programs " in this catalog. Mechanical engineering students should take the following courses in fulfillment of the mathematics and natural science components of the University Core Curriculum:
Mechanical engineering students must take two courses in physics even if the natural science portion of the core curriculum is satisfied by other means. Students transferring to A&M-Corpus Christi from other institutions may have various means for fulfilling the core curriculum. Please refer to the "General Education Requirement " in the catalog section entitled "Undergraduate Programs ."
Only the 3 lecture hours of each will apply to the Core Curriculum Program. Each one-hour laboratory component will be counted in the Common Engineering, Math and Science Courses as appropriate.
These electives provide students the option to take courses that apply to their field of interest or to the Coastal Bend region. Many of the electives address issues related to ships, offshore platforms, offshore wind turbines, and sea floor mapping.
Any upper division 3-credit hour math/physics/chemistry/biology course (MATH 3342 Probability and Statistics preferred)
Students may choose either a fast-track option that may be finished in four-years or a five-year option involving a cooperative educational experience in the latter part of their studies. Students pursuing the cooperative educational approach will have periodic full-time work experiences in their areas of interest with participating industries and businesses.
Students will form relationships with local engineers through field experiences, internships, and co-ops. All students will have a co-op experience, normally during their freshmen year. Students in the cooperative educational option will pursue additional co-op experiences during the summer and fall semesters beginning in the sophomore year. All field experiences will conclude with an exit interview of both the student participant and the student's immediate supervisor of the project.
All mechanical engineering students must complete a senior-level capstone project in MEEN 4370 . Students will work with practicing engineers and mechanical engineering faculty who will incorporate research projects from Harte Research Institute and Conrad Blucher Institute for Surveying and Science into the capstone projects. The capstone project will give engineering students practical, professional experience to prepare them for careers in mechanical engineering.

1. I have not fallen off the face of the earth. I just didn't have anything of substance to report.
Not that it has ever stopped me before.
2. This is the current wallpaper on my computer.
3. I am currently obsessed with bread baking which in turn leads to bread eating
which in turn leads to my pants not fitting. I checked out a few baking books from the library over the weekend and today's project includes braiding challah and making flake rolls from the dough that proofed overnight in the fridge.
The flake rolls are technically supposed to be butterflake rolls but the phone rang while I was in the middle of getting everything strung out and I completely forgot to put melted butter between the layers, so who knows if they'll turn out or not.
I'm betting "not".
4. I did not impress my co-workers today by leaving my orthotic insole in the middle of the hallway.
Apparently, they're not meant to be used in mules.
5. Every day at work I pass by this sign.
And every day it bugs me.
Have a nice day.

Gig 4: Le Gambetta Club, Paris
Bastille Day
We visited Père Lachaise in the morning as it is located at the end of our street and is always a peaceful space within the city (as long as you don't spend time near the grave of Jim Morrison). As it was Bastille Day it seemed pertinent to visit and pay respects to those who have fallen fighting for their country, protecting human rights, or gaining civil liberties; it provides cause to be thankful for all we have & also to remember those who we have lost.
Pere Lachaise is a beautiful space & I've always found the graveyards of Paris to be less sombre than churches.
Last year we arranged a concert at Le Gambetta Club & had a fantastic night, so we were happy to be returning.
On the 13th July the fire stations host the Pompier Balls across the city & as Le Gambetta Club is a late night bar, the party had gone on until the early hours of the next day, so when we arrived at the venue to set up for our show, Joe (owner) and Marco (bar manager) were both still feeling very tired – nothing a couple of espresso shots didn't fix.
We were very pleased to have secured Laurent Henode to play with us at this gig as we're both big fans having followed his progress since meeting two years ago thanks to a mutual friend. He is currently working on material with a new band but for this show he played a solo set of material just acoustic guitar and vocals under the pseudonym Popper Must (Be). Laurent's voice has great dynamic range which matches his writing style perfectly. He is a master of the 'quiet-loud-quiet' delivery and his confidence seemed to have grown along with his repertoire. It was so lovely to seem a familiar face in the city and especially one as friendly as his.
The other act we secured for this show was Eric Costa, an electronic musician based in Paris who not only played an amazing set or original compositions, but also played 'DJ' in between the live music, styled the stage with lights and saved the day with brown tape.
I discovered Eric's music via his BandCamp page and cannot speak highly enough about his live set-up. Intense and modern is one way to describe his music, moulding synth sounds and drum loops with ease (whilst trying to get rid of drunk fans intent on speaking to him during his performance).
Le Gambetta Club have a BBQ (free with drinks) so people who were coming to the show were offered food as well as great cocktails, a selection of Japanese whiskeys and fab live music – what more could people want.
We had a great night and after our set we talked till late on the terrace with Eric.
We must say thank you to Stéphanie for inviting us back to this lovely local bar to perform our new LP.
When it was time to head back to the apartment we said our goodbyes and the bar manager Marco wished us a 'bon soiree' and also 'good luck'; making sure we understood to 'be careful' on our way home. We thought this was sweet but didn't realise until we got home that there had been an attack in Nice and this was why he was so worried about us getting home.
We have always felt safe and comfortable in Paris, but this year we have noticed a marked increase in the presence of soldiers on the streets. Sure, they have always been around the large train stations, Tour Eiffel and Sacre Coeur, but this year we have seen them lining the streets near Pigalle and Bellville (both are areas which have suffered attacks in recent months). Honestly, I've never felt comfortable with the soldiers and cops having guns openly on show, but I think this is just because it's something you rarely see in Scotland. However, this summer the sight of them and their increased street presence did not leave me feeling uneasy; if anything I completely understand why the locals feel safer with these guys around.
It's hard to imagine what it must feel like to be living in a constant state of 'emergency' but life in Paris seems to be carrying on as usual and the city is still such a vibrant place that I also can't imagine that changing too much either.
We live in strange times, but we can't let the fear take over and change who we are.
Vive la France.
Friday 15th July 2016 (Day Off)
We slept in after a late night at La Gambetta Club and the city also seemed to be late in waking itself, so we headed down to Arts et Metiers for a coffee; and a great spot to sit and watch the world go by. It was a hot day and we wanted a lunch that would fill up all the lost calories from the previous night's exertions, so we checked out a few Indian restaurants by Gare du Nord and chose a place that specialised in dosas (Indian savoury pancakes) and vegetarian cuisine. It was excellent and filling, with great service as per usual in Paris.
In the evening we cooked another meal in our Parisian apartment (warm goat's cheese salad and bread), we then headed out to wander around Belleville and soak up the atmosphere of the city. It's lovely to be able to walk the streets late at night while the weather is still warm and we spotted many nice looking bars and restaurants with people dining or drinking into the wee small hours. It was great to be able to have such a relaxing day after our first gig of 2016 in Paris.

I'm pretty sure I could start every blog post, saying living with a chronic illness isn't easy, but it's sadly oh so true and there are so many times that you end up worrying about something. Here is a short list of what I've been worrying about recently and why, some of these are super silly to worry about, I know that, but I can't help but worry about them.
The Enamel On My Teeth
I'm pretty sure this seems a bit random but when my Endometriosis came back I started to do a lot of vomiting. Some days I was vomiting for up to 10 hours! There was also a lot of vomiting post surgery and from sepsis. Even now nearly two years post surgery I'm still vomiting. Thankfully not as frequently, but it's still happening and there's a lot of acid in vomit and bile which corrodes the enamel on your teeth and we've moved three times in the three years since my Endometriosis has come back and I haven't re-registered with a dentist. I have nightmares about my teeth now.
That I Am A Bad Friend
I haven't seen a few of my sweet friends since our wedding day back in 2015. That doesn't mean I haven't spoken to them, just that we haven't physically seen each other since and gotten together. Everyone is busy with their own lives, building carers, changing carers, holidaying, running marathons, buying houses and having babies. It doesn't always help we all live in different parts of the UK but travelling to see people has been difficult because of my illness and the timing around my cycle. Which makes me feel awkward and like a really shit friend.
This one properly isn't much of a surprise but of course, my health has affected the amount of income I've been able to generate even with being self-employed. There's no sick or holiday pay when you're freelance and I don't have any passive income streams or do affiliate marketing. Therefore my income has really bounced around these last three years and I've been so lucky my husband has been so supportive but sometimes my income hasn't surpassed what I used to earn working part-time in retail, which is stupid but makes me sad! This is something I really want to change.
My Purpose
I'm blissfully lucky (maybe) to be both left and right brained. I'm not artistic but I am creative, mainly with writing and words but I am also strategic. Which I think should be awesome and amazing but I've been struggling for a while to align these two parts of myself with my calling of helping other women with chronic illnesses. I feel like I've wasted my time and talents not moving forward, even if it was a bad move forward because I've felt paralysed by not knowing what to do! I've been keeping myself stuck, there is something holding me back and I don't know what it is!
Related: When Surgery Doesn't Go To Plan
That We're Never Going To Get Pregnant
My illnesses affect's your fertility and as of my 2016 surgery I no longer have fallopian tubes, not that we were able to get pregnant before but now the only way to get pregnant is through IVF and we started our IVF in July 2017 and as of August 2018 we haven't gotten very far with this journey… yet! But I've been wanting to become a Mama for six years and it just feels like it never going to happen.

I'd love to know what you worry about with your chronic illness and if you worry about any of these things?

The 10 Best TV Carts
This wiki has been updated 13 times since it was first published in June of 2017. Most televisions these days come with stands for placement on shelves or furniture, but a stationary solution is not always a match for environments that demand versatility and the ability to move from room to room. Our selection of TV carts includes a variety of options for creating a mobile entertainment center to suit virtually any space. They're perfect for living areas, schools, and offices. When users buy our independently chosen editorial choices, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki. Skip to the best tv cart on Amazon.
Editor's Notes
March 27, 2019:
The Aleratec Entertainment Rack was removed due to complaints about missing hardware and flimsiness, and the North Bayou Heavy Duty and Mount Factory Rolling were axed due to fulfillment issues. This updated collection is made up of products that are suitable for use both at home and in professional environments, and most of the models in this list have extra features like storage trays and camera holders, making it possible to create a totally integrated media station. However, it's important to note that these units have wheels and are not designed to be fixed to the wall, and therefore can pose a tipping risk. Do keep this in mind if you have children or pets.

SUPER Saturday was in full swing on a bumper third day of the Bournemouth Air Festival, with crowds looking to find any spare room to enjoy the action.
From regular performers to a few new faces, the biggest day of the festival did not disappoint, as an estimated 390,000 people descended on Bournemouth beach.
Flying was kicked off by the fan's favourite Red Arrows, who put on a stunning performance to set the action off in style.
This was followed by the innovative Gravity Industries Jet Suit Display Team, who returned after pilot Dr Angelo Grubisic ditched in the water during Friday evening's performance.
While Dr Grubisic successfully completed his flight this afternoon, using a jet suit he had never used before, chief test pilot Richard Browning suffered an engine failure during his trip from Bournemouth Pier.
The team announced several hours later that they would be unable to fly during Saturday's Night Air schedule.
Throughout the afternoon flying continued at almost non-stop pace, with a range of aerospace brilliance on show.
The AeroSuperBatics Wingwalker team wowed crowds with their tandem flight routine.
Acrobatic wingwalking duo Katie Hobbs and Kirsten Pobjoy said the experience was incredible and amazing.
"It is the best thing I have ever done in my life," Kirsten said.
"When you are up there it is just so beautiful."
As the day progressed and the sun continued to shine, the high-octane moves of the Breitling Jet Display Team amazed audiences.
The civilian aerobatic team are performing at the Bournemouth Air Show for the first time, after years of effort from event organisers.
Leader of the team Jacques Bothelin has flown more than 3,000 displays all over the world.
Air Festival director Jon Weaver told the Echo: "What a massive Saturday it has been, a great line-up, hundreds of thousands have turned out to come to the festival and we're looking forward to a Super Sunday."
The afternoon of entertainment was closed by the amazing manoeuvres of the RAF Chinook, with the display team crew performing at their last show before returning to normal operational duties, before the Blades delivered their breathtaking skill and dynamic manoeuvres.
The day also included appearances from he B-17 Flying Fortress 'Sally B', the precision descents of the Tigers, the heritage of the Great War Display Team and a host of Battle of Britain Memorial Flight planes.

Administrators at Raoul Wallenberg High School attempted to rig freshman student elections to inject "diversity" into the student leadership, and it blew up in their face.
Wallenberg freshman James Ortiz told the San Francisco Examiner that school officials pushed him to run for student council because of his Hispanic last name, though he identifies as white. And when the 15-year-old didn't win, they attempted to unseat the newly elected class vice president so Ortiz could replace her.
"They were, like, bribing me into being on the student council," Ortiz said.

I've worked through Portora Year Two but haven't locked it yet. Am waiting to do a final run through after some resequencing. Had to remove the entire Easter portion because a) it didn't hold up compared with the rewrites I've been working on and b) it was in the wrong place anyway.
Am now working on Portora Year Three – in particular the summer of 1980 just prior to the "Around the World" trip.
