PHILADELPHIA — Southern Land Co., a Nashville-based developer, has broken ground on The Laurel, a 48-story condominium tower in Philadelphia. Located in the Rittenhouse Square area, the property will be the tallest all-residential building in the city upon completion. The first units are expected to be available for occupancy in 2021. Solomon Cordwell Buenz is the architect for the project, which will also house 44,000 square feet of retail space. Residents will have access to amenities such as an indoor pool and hot tub, fitness center with a sauna and yoga studio, a bar and catering kitchen and a conference room.

All she wanted was to escape.
She never dreamed of this.
Blameless in her father's crimes, she is caught up like an exquisite pawn when the Sinners take her. Face-to-face with Dimitri King, like two sides of the same broken mirror, they have scars so deep, pain is the only feeling they know.
A match made in heaven but forged in hell, will they find their wounds fit together to create something beautiful or will the sins of their pasts be too great to overcome?

As per my first skincare post on this blog, this post about Natural Deodorants has been a long time coming. I decided to put it to the test over a year without using antiperspirant deodorant and use natural deodorants. I tested three deodorants on the market today from three ranges of prices, sizes, and availability!
Things I was Looking For
– Good Price for the Amount of Product
– Availability for Restock
– Not including ingredients like aluminum, no antiperspirants allowed.
– Not including Baking Powder, which has aluminum – not making soda
What's the big deal about Antiperspirants and Aluminum?
Antiperspirant is blocking your underarms from sweating, which may seem like a good thing right? WRONG! Your body is reacting to the stimuli aka the heat that may be doing a detox by sweating toxins out. The armpit is a lymph node that part of your immune system. It has been linked to breast cancer (click here, here ) but, there is still research being done to prove that claim. It's still a bit scary so, better safe than sorry! Aluminum has been linked to cancer as well. Aluminum is found in Baking Powder, not Soda. Here is a good article here to read about that.
What other toxins does deodorant include?
Some may include endocrine disruptors and hormone disruptors that go by the names of Parabens, Phthalates and more. They can cause skin irritation, rashes, razor bumps, and possibly small tumors that were affected in the lymph node by the hormone disruptors.
1. Primal Pit Paste All Natural Deodorant in Lavender
This product comes in two forms, a stick, and a jar, and it is a great starter into the Natural Deodorant realm. It took me about 2-3 weeks for my skin to get used to this product but, 2-3 months of use to stop heavily sweating out the toxins in my body.
– Only has 7 ingredients: Organic Shea Butter, Non-Aluminum Baking Soda, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Beeswax, Organic Arrowroot Powder, Lavender Essential Oil, Non-GMO Vitamin E derived 100% from Sunflowers
– The product is quite large and there is much product still to be used
– It helped with the detox under my skin because it wasn't harsh on my pits with the shea butter and lavender essential oil.
– Only had to use this product twice a day after wiping off the old product during the detox phase.
– After three months, this deodorant and my pits weren't working well together to reduce the smelliness.
– I only found this product at Whole Foods after searching around a bit. It's available on Amazon as well.
– The pricing is around $10.27 for a stick and a jar is $9.63 on Amazon
– The stick uses this bulky plastic design but, it's BPA-free.
Primal Pit Paste All Natural Deodorant in Lavender
Stick $10.27 USD // Jar $9.63 USD on Amazon
2. Alba Botanica Clear Aloe Vera Unscented Doeodorant
Alba Botanica's Deodorant s placed in a stick form and pretty easy to use. After my body was used to its new routine, I began switching out deodorants for the testing. This product I picked up for my testing was easily purchased at Target.
– Very small and easy to carry around
– Got this product at Target.
– Drys Clear
– The ingredients list includes Glycerin, Aqua (water), sodium stearate, steareth-100, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, camellia oleifera leaf extract, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract, panax ginseng root extract, usnea barbata (lichen) extract, Bisabolol, ethylhexylglycerin, glyceryl stearate, oleic acid, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride, stearic acid, stearyl alcohol.
– It includes alcohol and products that I have no clue about.
– I had to use this product three times a day since it wasn't giving my skin the help it needed.
– It's not descriptive enough in the ingredients to understand what the customer may be using.
– Not pricing is kinda of expensive for the size.
Alba Botanica Clear Aloe Vera Unscented Doeodorant
$12.88 USD on Amazon
3. Meow Meow Tweet Deodorant In Lavender Bergamont
This product is my favorite out of the bunch. It's vegan and uses fair trade with certified organic ingredients. It's Aluminum-free (with the use of Bob's Red Mill) sourcing. It's owned by a small company that possibly why the pricing is so high with the products that they use.
– Small Sizing, using
– Comes in a stick form that uses biodegradable packing
– Comes in a creamy form in a stick or jar that is easy to spread
– Smells amazing, and I only have to use it once per day
– The ingredients list includes *helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, *maranta esculenta (arrowroot) powder, magnesium hydroxide, *+theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter, *+butyrospermum parkii (shea) fruit butter, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed wax, sodium bicarbonate, *Lavandula Angustifolia (lavender) oil, citrus aurantium bergamia (bergamot FCF) peel oil, *Cymbopogon flexuosus (lemongrass) oil, *Mentha piperita (peppermint) oil. (all * are certified organic and all + are fair trade products)
– Very expensive for the amount of product available. It's $26 USD for 3 oz. I found my 1.8 oz stick at Target for a clearance price of $9.
Meow Meow Tweet Deodorant In Lavender Bergamont
1.8 oz Stick $18 USD // 3 oz. Stick $26 USD // 2.4 oz Jar $18 USD
What can you do to fast forward the detox process?
You can do Indian Healing Clay Masks under your pits for 10 minutes to reduce and draw out all the toxins. Make sure you clean under your pits every night to remove the old product and moisturizing your pits overnight.
Out of all the deodorants I have tested, my favorite is Meow Meow Tweet. It's vegan, a small business owned and I only had to use it once per day! It tested well against the Atlanta and Savannah weather from cold to super hot.
Be blessed,
Sterling x

Customer Reviews
Very soft brush. Bristles too dense and brush head to large to spread foundation evenly into ridges of nose. Returning brush. *
I have had the same foundation brush for almost 8 years. I finally bought this one and I love it! It is SO soft, but dense enough to distribute powder evenly. Love it! *
This is the best brush I have found for mineral foundation. It is dense enough to build coverage and has enough movement to blend beautifully. One of two things happens with most brushes: either the foundation seems to basically disappear or it applies the product too densely and it looks cakey. I was very pleasantly surprised! *
It does an amazing job! This is my first powder foundation. The first time, I was a bit heavy-handed and I had a full coverage. Now I am better - smooth, even, and I think - fun to buff into my skin! *
Great brush! Perfect size for applying the perfect sweep of eye shadow. A winner! *

Brig. Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi reiterated Supreme Leader's message that Iran gave US "a slap in the face"
Iran's Ambassador to the UN Majid Takht Ravanchi has reiterated Tehran's line that there will be no talks with the US unless the Trump Administration lifts sanctions.
Ravanchi responded to Donald Trump's Wednesday speech by that the Islamic Republic will not be "misled" by Trump offering cooperation while the "unprecedented" sanctions are in effect.
ORIGINAL ENTRY: In its first reaction to Donald Trump's speech on Wednesday, Iran has reiterated that it will have "revenge" for the US assassination of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani; however, it has indicated that it will pursue political maneuvers rather than military operations.
The message came on Thursday from Iranian Armed Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi. He told an audience from the holy city of Qom that the American "corrupting presence in the region must end".
Shekarchi, referring to the Supreme Leader's statement on Wednesday before Trump's speech, said, "Iran will take revenge on US beyond the military operations."
Ayatollah Khamenei hailed the Iran missile attacks on two Iraqi bases with US personnel early Wednesday: "A slap was delivered on their face."
The attacks were a carefully-calibrated retaliation for last Friday's US killing of Soleimani, the head of the Qods Force of the Revolutionary Guard. US forces were on high alert, and Tehran sent a message through the Iraqi Prime Minister that the attack was imminent.
As a result, there were no casualties, allowing Trump to declare yesterday that Iran was "standing down".

With Iran pressing the Iraqi Parliament and Prime Minister for the expulsion of US forces, Khamenei said, "What is important is that the seditious American presence in the region must end." President Hassan Rouhani echoed, "Our final answer to [Soleimani's assassination will be to kick all US forces out of the region."
Iran has also responded by suspending its commitments under the 2015 nuclear agreement with the remaining 5+1 Powers (UK, France, Germany, China, and Russia). Tehran is hoping the step will lead to arrangements with the signatories to bypass comprehensive US sanctions, in return for Iran's renewed compliance with the deal.
Brig. Gen. Shekharchi declared on Thursday that "baseless remarks" by US officials showed they can do nothing in the face of Iran's power: "Launching psychological warfare, US tries to dictate its attitude and compensate for the gap in military issue where they are so weak."

Computer science and computer engineering are two project based fields of study that are interdisciplinary and interdependent. Perhaps people confuse their differences because of the relationship they share.

President Donald Trump will be ringside Sunday for Tokyo's big sumo tournament, but if he hopes his longtime love of US-style professional wrestling will give him special insight into the action, he better think again.

Some onlookers assumed it was just part of the show, a staged fight that is characteristic of WWE events, where reality and scripted narrative are often intertwined.

Sustainability Report 2017
- Phillip Gilmore

- Views:
1 Sustainability Report 2017 Introduction This report presents the updated results for the year 2017 of the European ports environmental performance. Selected benchmark performance elements are introduced and discussed. The data on these indicators are obtained from the responses of 91 EU ports to the Ecos SDM, a tool developed for identifying environmental risk and establishing priorities for action and compliance ( Initially, the section introduces the sample of the respondent ports, mentioning the number of ports by country that contributed to the exercise, their geographical location and their size. Secondly, the results of the indicators are provided, being structured in the four categories of the PORTOPIA environmental indicators: i) environmental management indicators, ii) environmental monitoring indicators, iii) top environmental priorities and iv) services to shipping. The 2017 results are then compared with those from 2016, 2013, and variations and trends over time are highlighted. Finally, some conclusions are drawn. The sample of respondent ports As mentioned, 91 ports participated in this assessment from 21 different countries. Table 1 below provides the list of EU countries represented, the number of participating ports of each country and the percentage. Spain and the United Kingdom are the countries that have more ports represented, 12% each one, followed by France with 11% of ports. Table 1: List of countries represented in the sample and the number of participating ports Country Number of ports Percentage Spain 11 12% United Kingdom 11 12% France 10 11% Netherlands 9 10% Germany 7 8% Greece 7 8% Sweden 4 4% Norway 4 4% Denmark 4 4% Italy 3 3% Croatia 3 3% Ireland 3 3% Finland 3 3% Latvia 2 2% Jordan 2 2% ugal 2 2% Turkey 2 2% Romania 1 1% Estonia 1 1% Morocco 1 1% Lithuania 1 1% 1
2 Figure 1 shows the geographic settings of the contributing ports. It demonstrates that the sample is reasonably well balanced concerning the location of the ports. Figure 1: Geographical characteristics of the sample Another characteristic of the sample that is studied is the tonnage of the contributing ports, in terms of millions tons handled per year. Figure 2 demonstrates that most of the ports are small (<5 million tons) and medium (5<15 million tons) sized. Figure 2: Tonnage characteristics of the sample Below, the results of the different indicators are presented according the aforementioned categories. The performance of 2017 is compared, whenever it is possible, with the performance obtained in the Sustainability Report 2016 (Puig et al, 2017) and with the ESPO review carried out in 2013 (Puig et al, 2015). 2
3 A. Environmental management indicators This section provides the results of the environmental management indicators. These are 10 indicators that provide information about the management efforts that influence the environmental performance of the port. Table 2 below shows the percentage of positive responses to each of these 10 PORTOPIA indicators in the review of 2013, 2016 and 2017, so the variations over time are demonstrated. Table 2: Percentages of positive responses to the environmental management indicators Indicators 2013 (%) 2016 (%) 2017 (%) % change A Existence of an Environmental Management System (EMS) % B Existence of an Environmental Policy % C Environmental Policy makes reference to ESPO s guideline documents % D Existence of an inventory of relevant environmental legislation % E Existence of an inventory of Significant Environmental Aspects (SEA) % F Definition of objectives and targets for environmental improvement % G Existence of an environmental training program for port employees % H Existence of an environmental monitoring program % I Environmental responsibilities of key personnel are documented % J Publication of a publicly available environmental report % The results demonstrate that the existence of an Environmental Policy is the indicator that has a higher percentage of positive response. Practically all the participant ports have defined an Environmental Policy. This percentage of positive response has increased +7% since The second highest percentages are the existence of an inventory of relevant environmental legislation, inventory of SEAs, and definition of objectives and targets, with 93% of positive response. The last two indicators increased 9% compared to the results published in The ranking is followed by the indicator of the existence of an environmental monitoring program. It is also interesting to point out that the indicator on the existence of an EMS has increased from 54% in 2013 to a 70% in As it can be seen, almost all the indicators have improved with respect to On the basis of these ten indicators, PORTOPIA has developed the so called Environmental Management Index. This is calculated on the basis of a specific weighting applied to the significance of these key environmental management components. It is argued that this index is particularly appropriate since it is a measure of competence and capability to deliver the environmental imperatives. The Environmental Management Index is calculated by multiplying the weightings associated to each environmental management indicator (see table 2 and formula below) to the percentage of positive responses. In other words, the final score is calculated by applying the following formula: Environmental Management Index = A*1.5 + B* C* D*1 + E*1 + F*1 + G* H*1 + I*1 + J*
4 Where the value of each letter is the percentage of positive response divided by 100 (e.g. A is 0.7 in the results of 2017 as showed in table 2). The resulting index for the performance of the port sector in 2013, 2016 and in 2017 is provided in Table 3. Table 3: Environmental Management Index in 2013 and Environmental Management Index The index value has increased year-on- year, following the trends of the environmental management indicators (see Table 2). Another significant point to highlight within this Sustainability Report is the number of ports that are EMS certified to an internationally recognised standard. A total number of 64 ports out of the 91 are EMS certified, 47 of them under ISO 14001, 6 under EMAS, and 26 ports have achieved the PERS certificate. The total number of certifications is in fact more than 64 because some ports are certified under more than one system. Figure 3 presents the results of the EMS certificates broken down into categories. Figure 3: Distribution of the EMS certificates The figure shows that more than a half of the certified ports (56%) are only ISO certified. It is followed by a quarter of ports (25%) that are only PERS certified. It continues then with the ports that are double certified with PERS and ISO (9%) and with the three EMS certificates (6%). There is a minority of ports that are either only EMAS, or ISO and EMAS (2% each case). The positive, significant trend for the sector is that increasingly more port authorities are openly demonstrating their environmental credentials and transparency of action through independent, third-party review and audit. 4
5 B. Environmental monitoring indicators The second category of indicators are focussed on the environmental monitoring programs of European ports. These indicators provide the percentage of ports that monitor selected environmental issues. The percentages of positive responses are given in Table 4, listed in descending order based on the results obtained in The results obtained in 2013 and 2016 are also provided in the table below: Table 4: Percentage of positive responses to environmental monitoring indicators Indicators 2013 (%) 2016 (%) 2017 (%) % change Waste Energy consumption Water quality Water consumption Air quality Sediment quality Noise Carbon Footprint Soil quality Marine ecosystems Terrestrial habitats In 2017, waste has been pointed out as the most monitored issue, as in 2013 and There has been an increase of 21% of ports monitoring this aspect in the last 4 years. It is followed by energy consumption (that increased +15% since 2013), water quality (rising +19%) and air quality (+17% since 2013). Marine ecosystems and terrestrial habitats are the issues that have a lowest percentage of ports monitoring them. As it can be seen, all the indicators have more positive responses in 2017 than in C. Top 10 Environmental priorities The third section provides the update of the Top 10 environmental priorities of the European port authorities. It is an interesting exercise that has to be brought up to date regularly because it shows the current issues that are at stake for the port sector and their evolution. This data is important as it identifies the high priority environmental issues on which ports are working and sets the framework for guidance and initiatives to be taken by ESPO. The 2017 exercise comes to complement the results of the previous ESPO/Ecos surveys that initiated back in The issues that appear consistently year over year are mapped with the same colour in order to easily identify them. 5

There are now three emissions related issues reported in the top-10 priorities, i.e. Air Quality, Energy Consumption and Climate Change. This shift reflects efforts made by ports to address the challenges of climate change, the energy transition policies already being implemented to fulfil the objectives of the Paris Agreement, and increased awareness about the exposure of ports to extreme weather events. In the case of Dredging and Water quality, importance rose in priority whilst Garbage / waste, Ship waste and Relationship with local community moved down the priority scale. However, it is important to point out that waste was reported to be the issue most monitored by ports in 2017 (table 4). Air quality remains the number one priority of the European ports, as in 2016 and This is fully in line with the maintenance of air quality as a top priority also of the EU 6
7 policy agenda and the various ongoing regulatory measures that include the introduction of the global 0.5% sulphur cap on marine fuels in 2020, the introduction of the IMO NOx Tier III requirements for vessels built from onwards operating in the North and the Baltic sea (NECAs), the implementation of the Sulphur Directive and the new National Emission Ceilings Directive. Energy consumption also remains as the second priority issue of the European ports. Since 2009, the importance of energy consumption raised year over year as it can be seen in table 5. One of the reasons for this increase is, of course, the direct link between energy consumption, and the carbon footprint of the ports and Climate Change. Noise remains as the third concern by priority and its importance has also grown smoothly since Another interesting fact is that there are two issues that have appeared consistently in the priority list of the port sector over the last 20 years, although they are not in the top positions of the table. These issues are port development (land) and dredging. D. Services to shipping The last section provides the results on the category services to shipping. It comprises three indicators on the efforts made by the port authorities in order to facilitate a greener shipping. PORTOPIA considers that it is timely and topical to monitor the current status and evolution of some key services that ports may choose to provide such as the provision of Onshore Power Supply, the provision of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) bunkering facilities and the differentiation of port charges in order to reward greener vessels visiting the ports. Hence, and as a result of coordinated effort by PORTOPIA and Ecos, the Ecos SDM checklist was updated back in spring 2015 in order to allow for data collection in these key three areas. The figures below update the performance of the sector on this issue. It should be noted that in 2016 only 61 ports reported on these topics whereas in 2017, the participating ports increased to 91. Therefore, the results may reflect a slight decrease due to the wider sample of the respondent ports taken into account and not due to a real decrease in services offered by ports. In fact, in absolute figures, the ports offering for example Onshore Power Supply (OPS) have increased from 32 (2016) to 44 ports (2017). The same happens for the rest of the questions. Table 6: Percentage of positive responses to services to shipping indicators Indicator 2016*(%) 2017 (%) Is On-shore Power Supply (OPS) available at one or more of the berths? If YES, high voltage? If YES, low voltage? Does the port offer differentiate dues for Greener vessels? Is Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) bunkering available in the port today? *This percentage is calculated only with 61 ports whereas the 2017 is done with 91 ports. The results regarding the provision of OPS require a careful interpretation. The overarching question do you provide OPS? encompasses both the provision of high and low voltage installations. In reality, in the big majority of cases, high voltage OPS is required in order to be used by commercial seagoing vessels. There are however few exceptions (e.g. ports of Stockholm and Helsinki) where low voltage OPS is also used by 7
8 commercial ROPAX vessels. Despite therefore, the surprising 48% of respondent ports that provide OPS in their port (either high or low voltage), the appropriate figure to be used in order to set the 2017 baseline for the provision of OPS for commercial vessels is the one that describes the provision of high voltage OPS. Almost one out of five of the 91 respondent ports have high voltage OPS installations. The low voltage figures mainly relate to inland and domestics vessels as well as auxiliary vessels (e.g. tugs and/or other port authority vessels). Table 6 also confirms that offering differentiated port charges to reward greener vessels is an already established practice in half of the respondent ports (51%). This is a voluntary practise by port authorities that choose to go further than controlling their own environmental impact and encourage a positive change of behaviour on the vessels performance side. Environmentally differentiated port charges are encouraged and promoted through the ESPO Green Guide; towards excellence in port environmental management and sustainability. The outcomes regarding LNG show that one out of five respondent ports can already provide LNG bunkering regularly or upon request. It is interesting to follow the evolution of this baseline figure in the years to come also in relation to fulfilling the requirements of the directive on alternative fuels infrastructure as regards the provision by ports of LNG bunkering facilities by Conclusions This report demonstrates that, based on a survey of the Ecos Network, the majority of EU ports are working actively to protect the environment with the aim of achieving sustainable development of European ports and harbours. The results demonstrate that in general there has been an increase in the effective performance of the sector regarding the existence of environmental management components, and in terms of monitoring environmental issues. The evidence for these positive results is the rise in the number of ports having an Environmental Policy, the increase of the Management Index and the investments in conducting more monitoring in aspects such as waste or energy consumption. This update of the top-10 environmental issues is an important review for the port sector in Europe because it identifies the high priority issues common to the sector on which ports are working, and sets the framework for guidance and initiatives to be taken by ESPO. Air quality remains at the top of the priorities together with Energy consumption, Noise and Water quality, while a third emissions related priority, Climate Change, enters the top-10 for the first time. Finally, the benchmark performance of the port services to shipping indicators has been updated with the results of the 91 responses in Although it seems that there has not been a rise in the percentage performance of these indicators in absolute values there has been an increase for all of them. In any case there is room for further improvement and focus may be given on those issues in the upcoming years. The extent to which port authorities are actively influencing shipping to become green is indicated by the increasing number of ports offering a range of options including fee 8
9 reduction (against a range of criteria) and specific possibilities such as OPS. Indicators of the implementation of these options have only recently been introduced into the response database and it is widely acknowledged that the issue of port provisions for Green Shipping will become increasingly significant in the near future.

text: Hello, I have been looking into JDK-8211302. https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8211302 Did not find a solution, but the problem is because gdk_drag_context_get_selected_action(event->context) is returning ZERO. That's also why the cursor does not update on the drop location. Subsequent events do not get fired to complete the drop, because it falls on the abort code below: static void process_dnd_source_mouse_release(GdkWindow *window, GdkEventButton *event) { (void)window; (void)event; glass_gdk_master_pointer_ungrab(); if (gdk_drag_context_get_selected_action(get_drag_context())) { gdk_drag_drop(get_drag_context(), GDK_CURRENT_TIME); } else { gdk_drag_abort(get_drag_context(), GDK_CURRENT_TIME); /* let the gdk_drag_abort messages handled before finish */ gdk_threads_add_idle((GSourceFunc) dnd_finish_callback, NULL); } } I also suspect this will be needed, and it was introduced in GDK 3.20: gdk_drag_drop_done(get_drag_context(), TRUE) One solution is to check the version on build, other is to bundle the GTK lib (which makes it more safe to GDK changes). Cheers.

Gavin Harrison's Touring Rig - Photographed by Alex Simpson
On Friday, December 6th I had the pleasure of attending sound check at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood, CO before a fantastic performance by The Pineapple Thief featuring Gavin Harrison on drums. As someone who's been a Gavin Harrison uber fan for nearly a decade, it is always incredibly exciting to have the chance to watch him at work. For those who haven't seen Gavin Harrison perform in person, I can't recommend enough that you keep track of his tour schedule and catch him live as soon as possible. Whether at sound check, backstage or in the middle of a set, Gavin is a consummate professional who exhibits extraordinary attention to detail. His precise, melodic, unpredictable drumming and obvious dedication to his craft are sure to leave you inspired!
Though his now iconic drum kit has remained somewhat consistent since he gained worldwide recognition in the mid 2000s with Porcupine Tree, it remains a unique and musical setup that does change slightly to adapt to each new playing situation. When I found myself behind his kit after the show I couldn't resist the temptation to take a photo and share the specifics of his touring setup with The Pineapple Thief.
Let's start with drums! Gavin's signature drum sound is largely thanks to his gorgeous Sonor SQ2 kit and signature snare.
Sonor SQ2 Maple w/Tribal Blue Lacquer
(8x7" tom, 10x8" tom, 12x9" tom, 15x13" floor, 18x15" floor, 22x15" kick w/AKG D12vr on internal suspension mount)
Sonor Gavin Harrison Signature Protean Birch Snare Drum (14x5.5")
This is an extraordinary drum with a ton of great custom features - Check it out HERE!
Now onto cymbals! His zildjian.com setup has been altered slightly for this current tour. From left to right:
20" Zildjian Crash of Doom (a great substitute for the china cymbal he usually places to his left)
Gavin's legendary Custom 5-Bell Tree - 4", 4.5", 5", 5.5", 6" (No, these custom bells have not yet become available to purchase)
14" K Hi-Hats (a darker, warmer sound than his usual K custom hats)
20" K Custom Dark Crash
8" Custom Bell (A thick, piercing cymbal with beautiful overtones that Gavin uses to great effect)
17" K Dark Crash
20" K Ride
19" K Custom Dark Crash
12" FX Oriental China Trash (Consistently used by Gavin for as long as I can remember!)
22" A Swish Knocker w/20 Rivets
Gavin's Remo drum head choices have also remained pretty consistent in recent years. His toms feature Remo Coated Vintage Emperors, the kick drum has a Clear Powerstroke 3 batter head and his snare drum has almost always featured a Remo coated Controlled Sound with bottom black dot on top and a clear hazy ambassador on bottom.
The setup is complemented by Tama Speed Cobra double pedals, Gibraltar hardware, a Porter & Davies BC2 tactile monitoring system and his signature Vic Firth drumsticks.

Everyone loves an underdog, whatever the sport may be.
Whether it be Leicester winning the EPL a couple of years back or Senegal shocking France at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, upsets capture the attention.
Cricket has seen its fair share of upsets over the years. Here are the six greatest Cricket World Cup upsets, in no particular order, from the last six editions of the ICC World Cup.
Ireland vs Pakistan, 2007 World Cup, Group D match at Sabina Park, Jamaica
The luck of the Irish on St Patrick's Day. The date, March 2, 2007.
Pakistan was ranked no.4 in the world and were expected to defeat Ireland with ease. However, what happened next was something that was just unbelievable.
On a day of upsets where Bangladesh shocked Pakistan's subcontinent neighbours, India, Pakistan went one further.
The minute one switched the channel to the Pakistan game after the Bangladesh shock, one would have been absolutely flabbergasted with what they would have seen.
Pakistan was embarrassingly bundled out for 132 and Ireland chased a revised total of 128 from 47 overs down with five overs to spare and three wickets in hand.
Ireland was through to the Super Eights courtesy of the draw against Zimbabwe and Pakistan being defeated by the West Indies in Pakistan's previous game. All the dismissals in the Pakistan innings were caught.
At one stage, Pakistan were 71 for 6 and if it weren't for the tail, they might have scored less than 100 runs. Boyd Rankin and Andre Botha picked up three and two wickets respectively with Botha picking 2/5.
Ireland did lose a few wickets in clusters but Niall O'Brien scored a half-century and Australian-born captain Trent Johnston hoiked the winning six over midwicket for six. The Irish section of the crowd erupted.
Bangladesh versus India, 2007 World Cup, Queens Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago
The first of two upsets on a day full of surprises, a relatively young Bangladeshi side defeated cricketing powerhouses, India on the back of some brilliant bowling and clever batting.
India's campaign ended two games later as a result of this loss and the loss at the hands of subcontinent neighbours Sri Lanka. There were year-long reports of rifts between senior players and head coach Greg Chappell heading into this fixture and after India's shock 1st round exit, coach Greg Chappell, resigned from his post.
India was bundled out for a disappointing 191 with only Sourav Ganguly scoring in excess of 50 and Yuvraj scoring 47. Mashrafe Mortaza picked up four wickets while the left-arm spinners, Abdur Razzak and senior Mohammed Rafique picked up three wickets apiece.
Future Bangladeshi stars, Shakib Al-Hasan, Tamim Iqbal andamp; Mushfiqur Rahim all scored in excess of 50 with 5 wickets in hand chasing down 191 with relative ease.
This result was arguably one of the most important results in the nation's history as four players from that very squad have formed an integral core for the Bangladeshis over the last 10-12 years since that result.
Star all-rounder, Shakib Al-Hasan, the wicketkeeper, Mushfiqur Rahim, opener Tamim Iqbal, and current captain, Mashrafe Mortaza were all apart of this World Cup campaign and are the key players in the current team.
Ireland versus England 2011 World Cup, M.Chinaswammy Stadium, Bangalore
Bangalore or Bengaluru as it is locally referred to, took centre stage for a big upset. The less fancied Ireland, for the second World Cup in a row, chased down 326 on the back of a blistering and memorable knock from all-rounder Kevin O'Brien.
Kevin Pietersen, Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell scored half-centuries for the Poms helping them reach 326.
One would have backed the Poms to defend 326 and with Ireland struggling 111 for 5, one would have backed the Poms to finish the Irish off.
However, the luck of the Irish and Kevin O'Brien had other plans. Backed up really well by Alex Cusack and John Mooney, Ireland chased down a mammoth 326 runs and pulled off one of the most famous World Cup and ODI victories of all time.
O'Brien and Cusack targeted James Anderson, Michael Yardy and Tim Bresnan. O'Brien went ballistic in his record-setting knock of 116. Both Cusack and O'Brien were run out and when O'Brien got out, he received a loud cheer from the crowd in acknowledgement of his amazing innings.
Mooney remained not out on 33 and hit a four through midwicket to give Ireland the historic victory.
West Indies versus Kenya, 1996 World Cup, Nehru Stadium, Pune
Arguably the biggest World Cup upset of all-time, Kenya, defeated the two-time champions, the West Indies by a resounding margin of 73 runs.
With rifts in the team, issues with the selectors, pay disputes and a serious decline, the West Indies were in all sorts of bother heading into the 1996 World Cup.
However, no one would have thought that Kenya, an associate nation, would have beaten them.
The West Indies still had the likes of Richie Richardson, Brian Lara, Courtney Walsh and Sir Curtly Ambrose at their disposal.
Chasing a low total of 167, the Windies never really were in the chase as Kenya pulled off a miraculous victory and did a lap of honour around the Nehru Stadium.
Batting first, Kenya scored 166 and there were 37 extras in the Kenyan innings. eight more than Kenya's highest scorer in the match.
Kenya were 81 for 6 and on the back of Hitesh Modi and Thomas Odoyo, they crawled their way to 166. An average total that most people would have backed the West Indians to chase.
As mentioned before, the West Indies chase never got going. At 78 for 7, the West Indies has lost all their recognised batsman. Then they were bundled out for a terrible 93, despite Wicketkeeper, Tariq Iqbal's shoddy glovework.
Maurice Odumbe and Rajib Ali starred with the ball picking up figures of 3/15 and 3/17 respectively. The West Indies quite understandably received serious flak from their home media, but they miraculously recovered after this game to reach the Semis where they collapsed like a pack of cards against the Australians.
Sri Lanka vs Kenya, 2003 World Cup, Gymkhana Club Ground, Nairobi, Kenya
One of the top ODI teams in the world at the time versus Kenya, Sri Lanka were clear favourites.
However, again, Kenya pulled off a World Cup upset. In fact, the 2003 World Cup was a surprising campaign as the Kenyans went to the semis, where they bowed out to eventual runners-up, India.
It was the first and so far the only time an associate nation reached the World Cup semi-final.
Kenya scored a decent 210 for 9 off their 50 overs. Kennedy Otieno shielded the other batters from Sri Lanka's two main strike weapons, Chaminda Vaas with a Sri Lanka.
Otieno scored a solid 60 from 88 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixes before being dismissed with the score at 140/4.
Hitesh Modi and Maurice Odumbe helped Kenya reach over 200. At the close of the innings, Sri Lanka were favourites to chase down the total but the Kenyan bowlers, especially their legspinner, Collins Obuya, who bowled a magnificent spell, had other ideas.
Sri Lanka was steadily going when at 71/2 they lost Hashim untilakaratne and then the collapse began. Sri Lanka lost their last eight wickets for 86 runs, being bowled of for 157 with Collins Obuya picking up 5/24.
Sri Lankan legend and former captain, Sanath Jayasuriya labelled this game as the worst game of his life. Kenya and Sri Lanka both ended their tournaments at the semi-finals.
Bangladesh versus Pakistan, 1999 World Cup, County Ground, Northhampton
Bangladesh was playing probably the third best ODI team of the era. Pakistan had nearly every base covered in this World Cup – and of course this match.
A good leader and possibly the greatest left-arm bowler of all time in Wasim Akram, a world-class spinner in Saqlain Mushtaq, a classy opener in Saeed Anwar, the big-hitting Inzamam-ul-Haq and a rising star in the Rawalpindi express, Shoaib Akhtar.
Bangladesh was helped by captain Mohammed Akram cameo of 42 and 27 from Khaled Mahmud. Saqlain picked up a 5fer which restrict the Bangladeshis to 223/9. Pakistan failed to chase down Bangladesh's total.
The Pakistanis lost wickets at fairly regular intervals and were behind in the chase at most stages. A 55-run stand was cut short by a run-out which there were of about three in the game.
Man of the match, Khaled Mahmud, picked up 3/31 and Pakistan were bundled out for 161 losing by a margin of 83 runs. Critics were sceptical of the result as there were allegations of match-fixing around the game. However, nothing has been proven to date.
