So, yesterday (Saturday) was the Crim Kids' Classic. It was a bright, sunny day, but not too warm. Just perfect for racing!
It was Logan's third race. He ran the quarter-mile for the second year in a row. (The first year he raced, he had just turned three, and did the Toddler Trot). We also entered Jordan in the Diaper Dash for kids up to age 2 this year.
So, we got up and I got the boys carb-loaded with oatmeal for breakfast and then we headed off to the Flint Cultural Center. I was kind of uptight in the car because I was afraid we'd be late since we didn't head out 'til a couple minutes after 10, we had to drive all the way to Flint, and there's all that construction on I-69. We also hit an unexpected road closure in Lapeer on the way. However, Hubby
sped like a maniac drove like a champ and got us there with plenty of time to pick up the boys' race packets, shirts and numbers.
Jordan was happy snappy, enjoying the music and ready to go!
Logan helped chase him
The Diaper Dash was first, at 11 a.m., so we headed over there and were actually the first ones in the starting area. The photographers from Brightroom Event Photography were there and started snapping photos of the boys as we waited, so hopefully they got some good ones. They get right in there during the races and take great, up-close pics of the kids and then they soak us sucker parents for them. It's cool, though, because it's a fun memory, and it's REALLY hard to get pics when you're dealing with trying to help your kids race and there are big crowds and so on. Our personal photos didn't come out all that great, so we'll probably end up purchasing a few from Brightroom. They got a great one of Logan from his first race. His feet weren't even touching the ground! It was AWESOME.
Whew. I should mention I have in NO WAY been compensated for all that by Brightroom. If they wanted to be really nice, they'd give me a couple free shots for the publicity! Yeah, right! :) No, I'm just actually glad they're there taking photos.
SO, we were there at the starting line and Jordan ended up being in the first heat of kids racing. They divide the Diaper Dash and Toddler Trot into heats of 6 runners to avoid trampling and trip-ups, and it's really nice.
The Diaper Dash race is so fun to watch. Even crawlers are invited to join! It's just "run" on a length of outdoor carpeting that has lanes marked on it, ending at the balloon arch finish line (The finish line for all the races that day, which range up to a mile). I am not sure of the Diaper Dash distance. Maybe 15 feet? I'm really bad at estimating that kind of stuff.
Anyway, they got the first heat lined up and we waited
And then it was time to go, and Jordan was off like a shot! He was the first to take off, he ran the whole way, even in his own lane, and was the first kid to cross the finish line in the first heat of the first race of the day! Yeah! That's my boy! I remember Logan did just as well the first time he did it, too.
He collected his medal
Then we had some time to kill before Logan's 11:45 start, so we checked out all the fun stuff. Logan got a black weiner dog from Nate the Great, the balloon animal guy, who was pretty darn talented and even had funny jokes going the whole time. I'd totally hire this dude for a birthday party or event!
Logan was looking forward to saying Hi to the Crim mascot bear again this year.
Finally it was time to line up for Logan's race. I was worried because he'd developed a REALLY violent cough overnight and just couldn't stop coughing. I gave him a Jolly Rancher to suck on hoping it would help. He decided he wanted me to run with him (Daddy ran with him last year) so we went to the starting line and Daddy and Jordan went to watch.
Waiting for the start
This is the "cat lady" who rode her bike to basically let the kids follow her so they knew which way to run. She runs the adult Crim (in August) every year dressed as a cat. Love her Hello Kitty helmet!
Riley McLincha was also there, doing his "drubbling,"- which is dribbling three basketballs at a time. I didn't get a pic of him, but this dude is a fixture at Crim events. He has run the entire 10-mile Crim race while "drubbling." Amazing!
We're off!
Logan came out of the gate REALLY FAST. I had trouble keeping up at first, but he started too quickly and slowed right down in the middle. I could hear that the breathing was hurting his chest, poor kid. Nothing like running when you're sick. But, he didn't stop and even sprinted out the finish. I stayed a bit behind him and cheered him along the whole quarter-mile.
After that, we grabbed the boys' post-race pizza, apples and water and they had lunch, and then we checked out the bounce houses and stuff and headed home.
I tried to get pics of the boys in their matching outfits and medals. They were more interested in the tangerine lollipops that were in their race bags!
All in all, it was a really fun day. If you have kids and live in mid-Michigan, the Crim Kids Classic is every May and it's a great, kid-friendly event. Check it out sometime! We go every year. It's a great way to get kids excited about being active.

One thing we did learn for sure on this trip is that Abby gets motion sick easily. It's happened 4 times now that after we've driven in the car for several hours, and that night she gets sick. All the previous times, we've held our breathe wondering who was next and she, nor anyone else, ever gets sick. After she throws up once or twice, she is fine and back to normal. Glad to finally 'diagnose' this so I can look into remedies!
We ate dinner at a cute little American diner place in a old train car. How perfect?! Great times for sure, especially the little dance Abby did to Micheal Jackson while we were waiting for our food! If you need a good laugh, she will always bring it!

-Sailor's Delight
A lot of people, when asked what their reason for being alive is, get a little tongue-tied. They may say "my family, friends, and pets," but that is what you're thankful for, not your reason to be alive, your purpose, your goal. Your idea to live is unique and exquisite for each and every person. Some wish to help gain world peace, some to gain new friends, and some just want to get by a day without fearing what's outside their bedroom. Each person will give a different answer to this question. It is to be expected. But, how many people think about this on a daily basis?
When I was staying at a hotel, a little boy approached me and asked me this question. I responded that my reason for being alive is my family. He said "No, what are your dreams? Your purpose?". It took me a minute to respond, but in the end, I said,
"Well, I had originally wanted to be a vet, because of my love of animals, but I didn't want to after finding out you had to dissect animals to get my degree. I thought about being a singer for a while, and even took classes down in my old town, but I guess it just faded away. Next, I wanted to be an animal behaviorist, but the hiring rate is terrible, and that left out being a librarian, too. So I guess I don't have a purpose."
"Well, what's something you're good at?"
"Well, I don't know."
"Ok, well, my mom's looking at me funny, so I better go, see you around girlie!'
Girlie? That's a new one. I watched as the kid walked to his mom and I thought about the conversation we just had. Why had a little boy been so curious about my purpose? And why didn't I know what said purpose was? That question still rests with me. I don't know my purpose, and I probably never will, but I'll be a flying monkey before I quit searching.
Later, I re-encountered the same boy and asked him what his purpose was. He responded by saying, " To make people smile." So that's what I did. I smiled and said "Well then, you must be doing a good job." as I pointed to the breakfast room we were in and the smiling faces of complete strangers. They were all smiling at this little boy who claimed to have such a simple, but inspiring, purpose. You could feel the happiness radiating off of the boy as he beamed with self-satisfaction.
It just goes to show you, everyone has a purpose, a place where they belong, a person they can trust, and a reason to be alive.
My reason?
To help others find their purpose. Just like the little boy that helped me find mine.

When it comes to bathroom accessories, the Chrome Towel Ring is one of the most common choices. These accessories enable you to keep the towels, handy and organized and hence, it is hard to assume of a bathroom that don't have these items installed. Here are a few questions that you should ask the provider, before you buy these items.
Are the products made with authentic chrome material?
One of the key reasons for which buyers love to buy the Chrome Towel Ring is that this material in corrosion proof and endures for the longest span of time. Especially if you are buying the products from the non-reputed stores or products from the mediocre Brands, there are chances that you will end up buying products that are not constructed with authentic Chrome materials. Hence, you should check and double-check the material used for the manufacturing of the product so that you get adequate value for your money.
What are the policies of the provider for return and refund?
You would certainly not want to waste your money, by putting it on products that may not suit your needs or fails to meet your expectations. In those instances, if the provider has got a precise and transparent policy regarding the return of such goods and refund of your money, you stand assured from the financial perspectives. Hence, before you buy the Chrome Towel Ring, check if the provider is offering such clauses. It will be wise, not dealing with a provider that don't operate with such clear standing.
In order to address both these points, you should always approach the top brands of bathroom accessories and home furnishing products. These providers ensure that they are serving you quality products at the modest rates and they operate with fair policies on return and refund.

The Civil Service Commission recently ruled that the Brockton Fire Department was justified in bypassing a veteran from the war in Afghanistan during their last round of hiring.
BROCKTON – The Civil Service Commission recently affirmed the Brockton Fire Department's decision to bypass a veteran from the war in Afghanistan during a recent round of hiring.
Shawn Jenkins, 24, of Brockton was placed on an "eligible list" of candidates for Brockton firefighter by the state's Human Resources Division in December 2012.
His rank was determined based on his score of 93 on the civil service examination, his status as a veteran and his claim that he qualified for residency in Brockton.
On August 5, 2013, the Human Resources Division sent a certification to Brockton that they could hire 12 permanent full-time firefighters. At the time, Jenkins was tied for 13th on the certification.
However, five candidates ranked below Jenkins were appointed, thus resulting in Jenkins bypass.
The fire department provided Jenkins with three reasons for bypassing him:
He did not fully complete a section of the application;
He failed to provide sufficient proof of his residency during his interview;
He had five moving traffic violations in the last five years.
When asked to list three neighbors who could provide references to his character, Jenkins listed three neighboring businesses. However, when members of the fire department visited the businesses, no one at the facilities said they knew Jenkins or recognized his photograph.
According to the decision, Jenkins said he declined to put down the neighbors he had when he had lived at his family home because the neighbors had entered a dispute with Jenkins and his family.
When reviewing Jenkins' driving record, Deputy Fire Chief Brian Nardelli found that Jenkins had accrued five moving violations over the last five years, including two for speeding, one for speeding with a lane violation, one for a failure to stop and another for having no inspection sticker.
Jenkins was found to be at fault for each one of the violations.
At his interview, Jenkins was supposed to be bring two documents to verify that he had lived in Brockton a period of at least one year. However, the documents he provided a the interview offered no proof as to his residency.
Although Jenkins would subsequently provide documents to the department that verified his residency, the incident raised concerns for Nardelli over Jenkins ability to follow directions.
Based on the above evidence, the commission ruled that the Brockton Fire Department was justified in bypassing Jenkins.

Ask any woman who has a sister and she'll tell you that neither girlfriends nor husband-much as she adores them-can take the place of her sister. Who else has the same family history from the female perspective? Who else shares the same values and expectations, shaped since babyhood? Who else knows what's racing around in her head almost before she herself does…. No one, but her sister.
When I wrote this post,I never in my wildest dreams thought that my sister will not be with me....so I can never ever associate her with someone from the past,she is here with me....now and always.

On the All Around This World/Sand Family summer tour of Europe we were honored to be able to play a concert at the Diakonie Offenbach center Frankfurt, Germany, for families who are in various stages of the process for gaining official status as asylum seekers in Germany. The performance was delightful, and the kids there had THE BEST time. The facility was new and felt so welcoming, with families living in apartments, children playing together in a giggling group outside and neighbors greeting each other as they would in any suburban apartment complex in the US. As we were there we were looking home, reading horrifying accounts of the conditions in facilities for those seeking asylum on the southern border. At the peak of Europe's recent migration crisis just a few years ago Germany accepted over a million refugees and asylum seekers, and is now home to over 1.4 million people in various stages of the process. No one involved says the German process is perfect, or has been easy in any way, but still…. Here are the US numbers for accepting refugees in 2018.

- Angela Gonzalez-Rodriguez |
New York - A recent study by the International Trademark Association (INTA) analysing the purchasing behaviours of Generation Z – people aged between 18 and 23 – has found that affordability trumps morality when it comes to counterfeits.
The study surveyed hundreds of consumers within the Gen Z generation across Argentina, China, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia, and the U.S.
Almost 80 percent of Gen Z shoppers bought counterfeits in the past year
INTA's report reveals that while 48 percent of respondents didn't think it was okay to buy counterfeits, 57 percent said they had done so because they could only afford the fake version of some brands.
It's worth highlighting that almost half of respondents said their income influences their opinions about counterfeit products, while 37 percent cited morals. That said, still 79 percent of the Gen Zers surveyed said they bought fake goods in the 12 months prior to the study in November 2018.
Commenting on the results, Jaqueline Mai of Insight Strategy Group, which led the study on behalf of INTA, said that this was a case of "situational morality, where strong morals are tested by the lack of income."
Nigeria and Argetina, at the forefront of counterfeit purchases
The highest rates of counterfeit purchases were seen in Nigeria (97 percent), followed by Argentina and India (89 percent each), and China (84 percent), with Japan coming in at the bottom at 46 percent.
According to INTA, one interpretation of the study is that Gen Zers may be more open to educational messages about the harm caused by counterfeiting, as they tend to gravitate towards brands that share their own morals and values.
On the other hand, members of Gen Z tend to accept counterfeit products that are of high quality and affordable – perceived as 'replicas' – rather than low-quality fakes as they believe these allow them to express their individuality. 81 percent said the brand name is not as important as how a product fits their needs, add from INTA in a corporate release.

Inspecting the league table tells you everything about why Liverpool and Arsenal have failed to launch a title challenge this season. The points column shows Arsenal 13 points behind Chelsea (with a game in hand) and Liverpool a further point back, but the "goals for" and "goals against" column illustrates precisely why.
League leaders Chelsea have scored 55 goals, the same number as Liverpool. Arsenal, meanwhile, have scored 54 goals, and considering they've played one fewer game than the others, this means they're effectively scoring at the highest rate in the division. Going forward, both sides don't have many problems. The "goals against" column, however, shows Chelsea have conceded only 19 goals, whereas Arsenal have shipped 28 and Liverpool a hugely concerning 33.
Alternatively, Chelsea have kept 13 clean sheets, Arsenal just eight, Liverpool only seven. It might not be a particularly major revelation, but the reason these two sides are struggling to challenge for the league title this season is simple: their defensive record isn't good enough.
For Liverpool, this has become a familiar problem. During the Rafael Benitez era, Liverpool usually boasted having among the best defences in the Premier League: their goals against figures of 25, 27, 28 and 27 between 2005 and 2009 looks quite extraordinary in hindsight, considering that they've conceded 50, 48 and 50 goals in the past three seasons. Their current rate means they're set to concede a similar number of goals once again.
It's usually the back four that gets blamed for conceding lots of goals — goalkeepers Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius haven't exactly escaped blame either — but perhaps the greatest problem for Liverpool is that they're not protecting the back four effectively enough. That, more than anything else, was Liverpool's strength during Benitez's reign: he sacrificed attacking spontaneity for defensive structure, using wide players who protected the full-backs more effectively than they created chances and constantly shouting '"Compact!" at his team, ordering them to defend with 10 men.
Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool's approach has changed dramatically. They are defined by their approach without possession, but Klopp's love of counter-pressing is primarily an attacking tactic: it's used to win possession while the opposition are starting their attacking transition and leaving spaces at the back. It's unquestionably a useful tactic and has proved particularly effective against major opposition, particularly sides like Arsenal that like to build from the back. But once the press is bypassed, Liverpool's defence can be too easily exposed.
Jordan Henderson has been among Liverpool's most impressive performers this season in the holding role, but it's no longer enough to protect the defence with one man. It's a collective effort, and while Liverpool's work rate itself is not up for question, their default movement of pressing the ball means the defence sometimes has a huge amount of space to cover.
Some teams can get away with that, but Liverpool's defence itself isn't particularly solid, as Klopp has constantly changed centre-back partnerships. At times he's been unfortunate because of injuries or slightly peculiar reasons for absences (Mamadou Sakho and Joel Matip), but there's still no clear first-choice centre-back partnership on the same wavelength. Matip and Ragnar Klavan have both looked excellent in some matches before making needless errors the following weekend: centre-back play is all about consistency, something Liverpool simply don't have.
Full-back remains something of a problem position, too. Liverpool don't have a proper left-back: Alberto Moreno's complete lack of defensive awareness means James Milner has deputised in that position, and while he performed competently in the first half of the season, he's recently looked tired and poor in a positional sense. On the opposite flank, Nathaniel Clyne has been somewhat underwhelming this season and now looks less secure than in his Southampton days.
The one caveat is that Klopp has been forced to cope with a huge number of fixtures during his time at Liverpool so far, with runs to both the Europa League final and League Cup final last season and a run to the League Cup semifinals this year. Klopp hasn't had a particularly long run on the training ground with his players, and defensive organisation usually stems from working on shape week in, week out. Now, however, Liverpool have only one midweek fixture for the rest of the season. Klopp has plenty of time together on the training ground with his players, and a major defensive improvement should follow.
Arsenal's defensive woes are slightly more surprisingly. In three of the past four seasons they've conceded fewer than a goal-a-game, so their current concession rate is somewhat unusual.
Again, this has largely been about the lack of protection from the defence. While Shkodran Mustafi was guilty of a wretched error against Bayern Munich, he's largely been solid since his arrival and has formed a decent partnership with Laurent Koscielny. Hector Bellerin has been troubled by injury but is a fine defender as well as a crucial attacking weapon, while Nacho Monreal remains the typical, unfussy full-back who is 7/10 every week.
The disappointing thing about Arsenal, though, is that they haven't solved their midfield issue.
Granit Xhaka was set to be the perfect holding midfielder, a tough-tackler also capable of distributing the ball well over long distances. Arsene Wenger seems particularly keen to protect his defence in big matches: after a few years of often fielding one defensive midfielder alongside more of a creator, he's often used two of Xhaka, Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny. But none have enjoyed particularly good seasons, and there's no obvious partnership between any of them — or between them and another of Arsenal's more attack-minded midfielders. Some individual mistakes have been infuriating: the way Coquelin allowed Arjen Robben inside to open the scoring in the 5-1 thrashing at Bayern was particularly notable.
Two poor defences means this weekend's game will surely produce goals: the past two meetings between the sides have produced no fewer than 13. It's also the main reason, however, why these sides are forced to fight for the Champions League places rather than the title.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) started a series of hearings today for the "Ocampo Six"--the Kenyan political figures indicted on several counts of crimes against humanity relating to the country's 2007-2008 post-election violence that killed over one thousand people and displaced over half a million. The hearings at The Hague will determine whether full-fledged trials will begin for the six indicted Kenyans, and I've written previously about the investigations, not least because of the apparent attempts to obstruct them. Yesterday, the ICC denied a formal appeal to suspend the trials.
Charlie Warren, a former African program intern and now interdepartmental program associate at CFR, has a new piece out today in which he discusses some of the issues facing the ICC and its prosecutor. "The International Criminal Court and Kenya: Ocampo's Six an Important Hurdle for ICC" is published on African Arguments, part of a larger project from the Royal African Society (UK) and the Social Science Research Council.
The Kenyan hearings will last for the next few weeks and will attract a great deal of local as well as international coverage. Given the Court's uneasy relationship with the continent--its current prosecutions are only of African political figures--and the spate of poll violence in Ivory Coast, the ICC faces an important question: can its prosecutions help to reduce future bouts of electoral conflict across Africa? I think the answer is 'yes,' but the Kenyan hearings provide a unique opportunity for the Court and its prosecutor to persuade the international community of that larger case.

Many people have an incorrect view of the Future of Humanity Institute's funding situation, so this is a brief note to correct that; think of it as a spiritual successor to this post. As John Maxwell puts it, FHI is "one of the three organizations co-sponsoring LW [and] a group within the University of Oxford's philosophy department that tackles important, large-scale problems for humanity like how to go about reducing existential risk." (If you're not familiar with our work, this article is a nice, readable introduction, and our director, Nick Bostrom, wrote Superintelligence.) Though we are a research institute in an ancient and venerable institution, this does not guarantee funding or long-term stability.
Academic research is generally funded through grants, but because the FHI is researching important but unusual problems, and because this research is multi-disciplinary, we've found it difficult to attract funding from the usual grant bodies. This has meant that we've had to prioritise a certain number of projects that are not perfect for existential risk reduction, but that allow us to attract funding from interested institutions.
With more assets, we could both liberate our long-term researchers to do more "pure Xrisk" research, and hire or commission new experts when needed to look into particular issues (such as synthetic biology, the future of politics, and the likelihood of recovery after a civilization collapse).
We are not in any immediate funding crunch, nor are we arguing that the FHI would be a better donation target than MIRI, CSER, or the FLI. But any donations would be both gratefully received and put to effective use. If you'd like to, you can donate to FHI here. Thank you!

With our "on the go" mentality, appropriate amounts of sleep can at times come last on the list. One in three Americans don't get enough sleep, and it comes at a cost. Lack of sleep is associated with increased risk of diseases such as diabetes, not to mention a shorter life expectancy.
Short sleep duration has also been linked with obesity both in adults and children. To help decrease your waistline and overall daily performance, making small changes in your diet before bed can help pivot towards the right direction. Studies have shown that lack of sleep is also harmful for the economy- it's estimated that lack of sleep among workers cost the U.S economy as much as $411 billion a year.
Avoiding or consuming certain foods may enhance your slumber experience, so instead of rustling around counting sheep, try these tips.
Lets start with carbohydrates. We tend to lean towards all things simple, but in this case going complex has it's perks. Complex carbs such as whole grain bread and brown rice directly influence insulin levels. This then controls the release of brain chemicals, tryptophan and serotonin, which both play major roles in sleep cycles. On the other hand, sweets like cake and cookies may give you a temporary spark but these foods may actually lead to reduction of serotonin levels and additional sheep to your count!
Proteins are well known for their amino acids which work as building blocks for our bodies, also important when it comes to sleep. Heavier and fat induced options such as steaks or lamb chops take longer to digest and can lead to tossing and turning at night. Lean proteins such as chicken, turkey and fish may be the best bet when deciding on what foods to acquire these essential nutrients from. Several of the neurotransmitters in the brain are composed from amino acids, so these brainy foods enhance the production of serotonin and a good night's sleep.
Consuming healthy fats through nuts is a great alternative to ordering a side of french fries, and may also help enhance your sleep. Some nuts, such as walnuts contains a notable amount of melatonin ,which can potentially have positive effects on sleep cycles. Walnuts are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids which play a role in the body's relaxation process. Not to mention that these fatty acids can aid with heart disease prevention and play protective roles in cancer.
Eating more of these foods throughout the day can help aid a good night's sleep and even reduce your waistline.

Colle Santa Lucia
Colle Santa Lucia, 30 km away from Cortina d'Ampezzo, is perched on a rocky hill between the two valleys Val Fiorentina and Val Cordevole, is a true sight for sore eyes. Surrounded by legendary mountains such as Civetta, Pelmo and Marmolada, the village is a perfect starting point for trekking tours in the heart of the Dolomites, first of all the one leading to the Giau Pass. Visitors here will surely enjoy the warm hospitality of Ladin people.
Colle Santa Lucia is a scattered municipality made up by several villages, like Villagrande, which hosts the town hall. It is a tourist resort both for summer and winter holidays: from here you can quickly reach the Giau Pass, ski center included in the Dolomiti Superski ski domain, the First World War ski tour, the Cinque Torri ski area and the ski resort of the Falzarego Pass in Cortina, an appreciated snow kite center.
In summer the road taking from Colle Santa Lucia to the Giau Pass is often crowded with cyclists putting themselves to the test on the classic stages of the Giro d'Italia, and with mountain bikers who have at their disposal many dirt tracks winding through the forests, like the ancient miners routes, where you can still see the old mining sites.
If you'd like to spend a pleasant day in the nature of Colle Santa Lucia, try the wonderful trails Via Crucis and Strada della Vena: the first is a two hour long tour along the stations of the Way of the Cross; the second is the route connecting the mining site of Fursil to the furnaces of the areas of Agordino and Zoldo, and to the Andraz Castle, once hosting the iron-working furnace of the bishop. Many other trails wind through forests and meadows, where you can see ancient wood barns called tabià.
Besides trekking and mountain biking, Colle Santa Lucia offers a lot of cultural attractions: many bloody battles were fought here during the First World War and Andraz Castle was bombed, hence why now you can only see its ruins. Many are the well-marked paths taking you through trenches, galleries and ruins that form a true open-air museum.
Other tourist attractions can be found in the villages, like the Church of Saint Lucy or the two rural houses Casa Piazza and Casa de Jan. There is also the Institute Cultural Ladin Cesa de Jan, an association created to preserve the Ladin traditions, from the language to the cuisine.

Why competition is a good thing
Posted by: admin in Template Chooser, Joomla, JED, Extensions on Feb 17, 2009
As you might know, the most popular of our Joomla extensions is the Template Chooser. For the people who don't know this Joomla module: with this module your visitors can change the template in the front-end. A few months ago I've noticed there was a new extension in the Joomla Extensions Directory (JED) called Template Changer. This new extension did exactly the same what our Template Chooser was already doing for quit some time. In an earlier post, I've mentioned already that I think this is one of the major problems of the JED: too many extensions are doing the same thing, which makes it hard for the users to find the right extension. I verified this new module wasn't just a copy of our module, but this wasn't the case. The code was quit different. But I was really not amused with this. The problem I have with these kind of modules is that they are not created for the benefit of the users, as they only copy functionality that already exists. The authors of these kind of Joomla extensions are creating this to get traffic to their site.
The Template Changer module had however a feature that our Template Chooser was still missing: the possibility to store the template choice in a cookie. This was a feature which was requested by a few people and which we announced to add in a next release. But for some reason we postponed this for a while. So now it was time to be mad at ourselves. This new module had better features then ours, just because we have been too lazy. We immediately created a release of the Template Chooser that contained this feature. This event changed the way we were working. Before ,we often postponed adding new features to our Joomla extensions. Other things seemed more urgent and we could postpone it as there was little or no competition our users could run to. We realized that we could no longer affort to do this. If we get a feature request which is feasible and might be interesting for other users, we will often add it to our extensions in a short time frame. We think this is the best way to stay ahead of competition. Meanwhile, this Template Changer module seems to have disappeared somehow, but this will not stop us from continuing on our improved way of working.
So indeed, competition really is a good thing. It improved our way of working and it are the end-users who benefit from this. So don't be mad if a competitor 'steals' your idea, just try to beat them in qaulity and service.

In fact, this idea exist in joomla 1.0.x
what I really want to know is your extension can change a parameter in a template for example a lot of template have some parameters like background color ?
written by Largowww, February 20, 2009
What your question concerns, no it is not possible to change the template parameters. It might be interesting to have this, but I think this is out of the scope of this module, so this should be part of a different extension. However, there is a way you can do it with the template chooser. You can make copies of the template, rename them and set the parameters to a different value. Joomla will see this as different templates and then you can use the Template Chooser for this.

Can yo tell us how websites like (rockettheme, yootheme ...) implement their demo page ?
In fact, they use frames so I think that they have joomla installation per template and per style is this right?
also when you switch to another template you see another content so I think they use different joomla installation or there is a trick ???.

Ann Coulter is demanding Comedy Central release the unedited tape of the "Roast of Rob Lowe," where she was a guest roaster. The event instead seemed to mostly target her.
"I really want the world to see the whole roast without the edits," Coulter tells Howie Carr. She was booked on the roast to promote her new book In Trump We Trust.
"My main satisfaction is knowing the difficulty the Comedy Central editors are having editing me trying to make me look bad and everyone else look good," she said.
The host of the Howie Carr Show asked Coulter, "Usually, they don't ambush you like that. What happened here?"
"Nah, it's very common," Coulter said.
The author told Carr, "I would summarize it for you, but the words can't be said."
Using a series of alternatives, Coulter recreated what she heard: "Hunt, hunt, hunt, Hitler, KKK, hunt, hussy, hussy, Hitler, KKK, burning crosses, hunt, she hates Muslims, hunt, hunt, hussy, hussy, hussy–now, I have summarized the entire two hours I had to listen to."
Coulter said after being the most frequent guest on HBO's "Politically Incorrect" program, too many young and unknowns are told by their agents the way to make it big is to: "Go on TV and call Ann Coulter the c-word."
The problem was that this time, there were 20 of them, she said.
Coulter's own set was disrupted by a teleprompter operator, who jacked up her lines as she stood at the podium.
The mainstream media picked up on the Coulter-centrality of the event with shock and glee.
USA Today wrote:
And so, Coulter's presence in the room filled with a liberal-leaning Hollywood crowd shifted the focus of the material from Lowe — whose sex tape, legal issues with nannies, failed TV shows and feminine features were all fodder for jokes — to Coulter's general awfulness.
"I'd like to welcome everyone to the Ann Coulter roast with Rob Lowe," Coulter said, acknowledging her special attention.
Vanity Fair's take:
On Saturday night, Comedy Central taped another one of its annual roasts, this time skewering Rob Lowe. As the roasts usually do, this one got pretty nasty. Nothing was off limits, not even 9/11 or Lowe's sex tape he made in 1988 with a 16-year-old girl. And again, it was supposed to be a roast of actor Rob Lowe, but it was conservative political commentator Ann Coulter who drew most of the heat.
"Ann describes herself as a polemicist but most people call her a c—" said Pete Davidson of Saturday Night Live, before muttering "a racist c—" under his breath. Comedian Nikki Glaser called Coulter "a real-life supervillain," and told her, "The only person you'll ever make happy is the Mexicans that dig your grave."
Variety also weighed in:
Rob Lowe is at the center of Comedy Central's Roast this year, and at the taping on Saturday night, he got slammed: over his 1988 sex tape with a 16-year-old, his trend of being on so many cancelled TV shows and even his unbearable handsomeness.
But perhaps no one was burned worse than one of the actual roasters: Ann Coulter. In fact, the political commentator even addressed the amount of jokes leveled at her during her performance.
After Variety listed seven of the insults sent Coulter's way, it added this one: "And perhaps the harshest, from Jimmy Carr: 'Ann is one of the most repugnant, hateful, hatchet-face bitches alive. It's not too late to change, Ann. You could kill yourself.'"
Coulter told Carr it was all part of the business of being Coulter.
"I don't care–I am just telling you what happened–it was a bore until I spoke and I was fantastic."

When someone sets out to do a recording, whether it is popular music, classical music, audiobook narration, audio drama, sound effects, etc. they usually say "What microphone should I use?" or perhaps "what kind of recorder should I use?." Sometimes "What mixer?" I created a post about mics for spoken voice, but which also addresses issues for music recording. The mic is the glamour "star" of recording and they are heavily advertised and promoted and I plan to put up posts about mics again in the future.
But let's look at everything that is a part of the digital recording chain:
- Acoustic space
- Microphone
- Microphone preamplifier
- Mixer (if used)
- Analog to digital converter (AD converter)
- Recorder
- Digital to Analog converter (DA converter)
- Playback amp(s) and speaker(s)
An earlier post also talked about the kind of acoustic space was suitable for spoken word and compared it to spaces for music. Again, I plan to post more later.
Today I want to discuss the microphone preamplifier, sometimes just called a "mic pre." Other posts will cover other aspects of the digital recording chain.
Microphones put out a very low electrical signal compared to, say, music synthesizers, CD players, the output of mixers, and other so called "line level" devices. Mics produce a much lower "microphone level" and even this can vary from a fairly robust signal to an extremely weak one.
A lot of times people don't even consider microphone preamps as they are built into most mixing consoles and portable recorders. Sometimes those built-in preamps are fine for a particular application, but not always.
Maximum quality requires every component in the chain to be of high quality, not just one or two. I would be reluctant to feed the output of, say, a DPA 4006 microphone directly into the mic pre of a $150 hand held portable recorder. Would it work? Assuming the low cost recorder could provide needed power to the mic (so called "phantom" power) then you would get sound.
But using a low quality preamp with an ultra high quality microphone is kind of like using a Ferrari to haul trash. If your application does not require the highest in quality, probably a low cost preamp, such as those built into inexpensive recorders or mixers, is just fine. But when might you want to consider something better? Here I could go into a lot of technical jargon about "slew rate" and the like, but I will keep it focused on more simple basic concerns of the sound producer.
Low noise and high gain
All electronic gear produce some form of what is called "self noise," usually a kind of hissing sound that you can easily hear when you turn up the gain (loudness). Microphones with a very low output signal, especially ribbon mics, need lots of gain. A low cost preamp may not be able to deliver enough gain to record a signal at normal levels, or, if it can be turned up high, could produce lots of self-noise (hiss) in the audio signal. Since even microphones, like any piece of electronic gear, do produce some self noise of their own, some people who turn up a ribbon mic with a low cost mic preamp assume the problem is in the microphone itself, even when it really is the preamp. This problem can also occur with many kinds of mics (including dynamic and capacitor), but is most severe with ribbon mics. And the concern is not just for people recording music (such as a choir) but also other subtle sounds. Nature sound recordists tend to talk about low noise mic preamps since many natural sounds are very quiet.
Some ribbon mic manufacturers, such as Audio Engineering Associates (AEA), also sell special high gain, low noise, preamps designed especially for ribbon mics. But most very high end mic preamps can also work well with ribbon mics provided they can offer enough gain and still keep the noise low. Back in the days when most recordings were done with ribbon mics (c. 1940-1960) standard radio station consoles had high gain mic preamps. But lower cost boards sold today are designed either for capacitor mics (which produce higher output) or even dynamic mics used close to a loud sound source. A dynamic mic won't produce a terrible loud signal from a weak source, but do well recording loud sounds up close. Thus they are popular with singers who sing two inches from the mic or engineers needing to close mike the individual parts of a drum kit. In those applications the dynamic mic generally produces a reasonable output. Softer sounds are more of a problem with the dynamic mic, but the ribbon mic is always quite low and really cannot be used for extremely loud sounds as the ribbon is easily damaged.
Another solution to this problem is to use an intermediate amplifier (pre-pre amplifier?) between a low output mic and a mic pre in order to feed a stronger signal to the standard mic preamp. These are often used with dynamic mics as well as ribbon and are usually "phantom powered" by the mic preamp in a console or recorder. This is the same DC power normally used to power capacitor (also called "condenser") microphones.
Getting the right tone "color"
Whenever an electronic signal is passed through a piece of electronic gear it can be modified, often very subtly, in certain ways. You might think that the best mic preamplifier is one that simply amplifies the signal without changing it at all. But remember, even the best microphones do not capture the sound exactly as someone would hear it in person. Thus a good mic preamp might subtly change a signal to produce a warmer sound, a darker sound, or even a harsher sound (as might be desired for Heavy Metal music). Major recording studios tend to have a large number of "outboard" mic preamps (meaning ones not built into a console) so an engineer can match a certain preamp-mic combination to the sound sought by a particular artist or producer. This means that someone seeking the benefits of a high end mic preamp should "shop around" to get the best one for a specific application. Mercedes Benz and Lexus are both high end cars, but each has a different "feel" to the driver. The same goes for mic preamps.
Shopping for the perfect high-end mic pre can take time and patience. It is best if one can try several before committing to a purchase, though that is not always possible. For many everyday applications the mic preamps built into a small console or recorder are sufficient. That is good because high end mic preamps tend to be expensive, often much more than a small console (such as those built by Mackie, Behringer, Yamaha, and others). But the serious recording engineer should be aware of the advantages of special preamps for demanding applications.
In future posts I will discus analog-to-digital converters and digital-to-analog converters. Then I plan a more in-depth series on microphones. But I don't want The Audio Penguin to just be a "tech" site so will also put up additional posts about the creative side of audio production.

These Celebrities Came To Slay At The 2019 Grammy Awards
The 2019 Grammy Awards Show is one of the most influential, fashionably expressive red carpets of our time. This is the statement carpet! The celebrities bring the lewks and most of the time, we are here for it. With the recent controversy of luxury brands taking on a racially insensitive attitude with their designs, it'll be interesting to learn who had to make last minute switches to their ensembles. In any case, this year we saw a lot of big hats, tons of white colors, and a mixture of exaggerated shoulders. Take a look at the celebrities who stayed the 2019 Grammy Awards Show.

The Integrated Qualification Framework (IQF) followed by EduCatis is based on and aligned to the UK-RQF (UK Regulated Qualifications Framework) which provides flexible and affordable solutions to obtaining a under-graduate, graduate and post-graduate qualification. The Integrated Qualification Framework (IQF), in addition to the UK-RQF curriculum requirement, also incorporates a SA and USA curriculum component to prepare BBA and MBA for both the local as well as international academic and professional marketplace.
The Integrated Qualification Framework (IQF) covers the following spectrum of qualifications levels:
BASIC/SKILLS LEVEL - Upon completion the student is awarded a Certificate of Completion (IQF Level 3) (Cert.Skill). The skills programme provides the student with basic business skills that will improve performance in the workplace as well as the entrepreneurial environment, and can be offered via an online or blended-learning tuition model.
FOUNDATION/BRIDGING LEVEL - Upon completion of the programme the student is awarded a Bridging Diploma (IQF Level 3) (BDip.Skill or EDip.Skill). The programme introduces the student to subject knowledge and learning skills in preparation for undergraduate studies as part of the online academic study pathway towards the Integrated Master in Business Administration (IMBA). The BDip.Skill or EDip.Admin is a prerequisite to register for the Integrated Master in Business Administration (IMBA) Degree Programme.
UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL - This level is aligned to a Bachelor academic 1st Year (IQF-Level 4) (Dip.Man), Bachelor academic 2nd Year (IQF Level 5) (HDip.Man) and Bachelor academic 3rd Year (IQF Level 6) (GDip.Man) respectively of a three year UK-Bachelor's (BBA) or alternatively an Integrated Masters (MBA) Degree. Each level consists of 120 credits and is delivered via the EduNet Online Learner Management System (EOLMS) followed by a BBA-Top-Up or MBA Top-Up respectively (60 Credits) at a UK/USA/AUS/Swiss University either via blended-learning or an online learner management system.
POST-GRADUATE LEVEL - Qualifications at this level are aligned to the 4th academic year (IQF Level 7 & 7+) of a UK-based Masters (MBA) Degree and forms part of the Integrated Master in Business Administration curriculum. The level requires completion 120 credits and is delivered via the EduNet Online Learner Management System (EOLMS) followed by a MBA Top-Up at a UK/USA/AUS/Swiss or accredited international university either via blended-learning or an online learner management system. A PGDip.Man certificate is awarded to the student as proof that the prescribed course content has been studied via the Online Learner Management System and that the required competency assessment via test, assignments and examinations have been passed with an average pass rate of at least 60%. The PGDip.Man is thus intended as academic marker indicating that the curriculum requirements of the IQF Level 7 academic year has been met and that the student qualifies to proceed with the MBA Top-Up phase at a university/business school accredited on the UK-Ofqual/BAC system.

Introduction: Sauerkraut Soup
Sauerkraut soup is widely eaten in countries throughout Europe. But it's not everyone's cup of tea. I get it. If you are not used to it you may find it weird but if you haven't tried it yet I think you should give it a go because…well, because it's yummy and also it's good for you!
Did you know that sauerkraut was consumed hundreds of years back by various nations for its qualities? Apparently even James Cook always took sauerkraut on his voyages to help him fight the deficit of Vitamin C that was so common among sailors.
So yes, sauerkraut itself is very healthy. It is a good source of Vitamin B12 as well as Vitamin C & K. It also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, helps fights fatigue, viruses and bacteria. Sauerkraut also helps remove harmful substances from your body.
And because it's winter time and because I love this soup, here is my recipe (Even though my mum cooks this soup quite often, I have actually never asked for her recipe. I somehow developed my own version, where I've tried to get as close as possible to the taste I know from her cooking…I like it so I think I've succeeded and I hope you'll like it too).
Enjoy our easy recipes!
Visit our website:
Step 1: Ingredients:
500g Sauerkraut
150g Chorizo sausage
20g Dried Porcini Mushrooms
2 Tablespoons Paprika
½ Tablespoon Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
2 Bay leaves
3 -4 Tablespoons Sunflower Oil
1 Medium Onion
Sour Cream (optional)
Makes: 5 – 6 portions
Time: Preparation 15 minutes + Cooking 30 Minutes
Step 2: Method:
Put the mushrooms in a bowl and pour over 300 ml boiling water. Let it sit for about 15 minutes until they get soft.
Peel and dice the onion. Sautee on low heat until translucent, Stir occasionally.
Slice the chorizo sausage and add to the onion. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Add paprika and stir constantly for a few minutes before adding drained sauerkraut (keep the juice for later) and stir until the sauerkraut gets nice orange color from paprika.
Add 1.5 liter of water, bay leaves, salt & pepper & drained mushrooms. If you feel like the soup is too thick add some more water. Bring it to the boil.
Reduce the heat to low-medium and cook for 20 minutes. Taste and add more salt or a small amount of sauerkraut juice (it is usually salty), if needed. Cook for another 10 minutes before turning off.
Serve topped with sour cream and a slice of bread (both optional).

Nice one - looks like the Polish national dish of Bigos. I have a very similar recipe, adding 1cm cubes beef and pork and tomato puree If you do the puree do not forget the sugar unless you like things really sour.
Thanks. Will try to make it deffinietly.
I know what I will eat tomorrow, can't wait. I'll let you know how it tasted.
Thank you and enjoy!
I have been looking for a soup like this can't wait to try it
I hope you like it :)
any good substitutes for the mushroom?
You can substitute almost any veggie you enjoy!
