I'm Tux! I'm an 8.5-year-old black lab mix who loves to go on long walks and be pet. I'm a big (77 lbs.) and friendly boy, and I love to be active when you're active and to chill when you chill. I'd love a home with a yard—or at least a lot of opportunities for walks and dog park dates. I'm great with kids and dogs. I do have some separation anxiety and have been known to run out the door when the opportunity arises, so I could use a patient and loving family to help me feel at ease and improve my recall. I'm great with my crate—if I'm left out alone I like to chew on things. But I've been told my gorgeous eyes can win people over in a heartbeat. Maybe I can win you over too?

Inner Core
Do you just provide physical therapy?
No. As a certified Performance Enhancement Specialist, I work with many clients on personal fitness goals and sports performance goals. My work in the fitness world varies from those that are just beginning an exercise program, to those aiming to reach a specific sport goal. In addition, my work with young female athletes is directed at sport specific training designed to improve inner core and hip control to make movement more efficient and powerful. This can reduce injury and optimizes performance.
How do repeated ankle sprains relate to the inner core?
Insufficient inner core activation may lead to balance deficits. A mild ankle sprain can result in inner core shutdown and dysfunction especially at the inner thigh muscle called the adductor. In females, ankle sprains can have a lasting effect on inner core function, balance and sports performance if not treated properly. Furthermore, if the inner core is not working efficiently, it can leave you at risk for ankle sprains.
Why would my preteen and teen daughter benefit from a session with Newburyport Wellness?
Science tells us that girls have different running mechanics than boys and different muscle activation patterns as they age. These differences mean that girl athletes need specialized training to be their best. I
n general, girls and women are not connected with their inner core. The pelvic floor has traditionally been a taboo body region and yet it is the central mechanism of stability in our body. As girls reach puberty their hips widen, putting pelvic floor muscles on stretch and thereby decreasing the ability of their stability system to work effectively. This usually happens when sports performance demands are increasing, leaving girls at increased risk of injury and/or a decline in performance.
Did you know that urinary incontinence is not uncommon in high level teen runners and gymnasts?
Would my daughter benefit from a session with Newburyport Wellness even if she is not an athlete?
Yes! My mission is for girls and women to feel empowered and to understand their body. Many of us as adults have trouble connecting to our pelvic floor for exercise when something is dysfunctional (ie leaking after having a baby. Getting to know how to breathe and carry your body when you are young will only help you to stay strong and healthy as an adult. It also helps create what is called muscle memory. If you know how something works when it is working well, you are better able to get it working again if something isn't working well. This is important for all females, not just athletes.
ow does back and hip pain relate to the inner core?
The inner core consists of abdominal, pelvic floor, and back muscles in addition to your diaphragm (breathing muscle).
The inner core muscles are pain inhibited and can shut down when there is pain, leaving you at risk of further injury or a slower recovery. Proper inner core activation is critical to creating stability and support in your back.
How do you treat urinary incontinence and pelvic pain?
I understand that this is a sensitive and personal topic for women. I watch women wait until the problem is severe before getting help. I want women to come for help before their situation negatively impacts their daily life. Most of us wait because we think that it is "normal" to pee (especially after having kids), we don't have time, or we just can't psych ourselves up for traditional pelvic floor PT. I want girls and women to get help before the problem is big. I take an external approach to treating pelvic floor incontinence and pain. I focus on breathing and functional exercise to help patients connect with their inner core and pelvic floor. Exercises are functional and related to the times and ways you experience urinary incontinence or pain. I don't believe that laying on your back for all exercises translates well to when girls and women really loose control of their bladder (ie sneezing, jumping).
What is different about physical therapy visit at Newburyport Wellness?
I have worked in all areas of physical therapy from ICU to home health. I have spent the majority of my career working in outpatient physical therapy clinics where we have seen an average of 2-4 patients/hour. I have been lucky enough to work in places that schedule 1 hour for evaluations most of my career. This time gets eaten up by paperwork and waiting for the therapist to finish with a prior patient. Furthermore, it is more often than not that your evaluation is strictly limited to the body part identified on the prescription you came with. During a typical half hour treatment session, a patient can expect to do a pretty useless warm up on a bike or treadmill and then have at best 20 minutes of one on one time with a physical therapist. They will give you exercises and you will perform many of them without supervision. Maybe you will perform the same exercises you do in your home exercise program. There are more days than I can count that a patient might come and go and I know I could have done more, but the structure of the outpatient setting limited me. I knew that my skills were not put to use and I was unable to help people create true change and ultimate success in patients that was possible.
The model of practice that I have adopted at Newburyport Wellness is to develop a partnership of support and holistic care for my patients. Evaluations are total body so that I can discern the exact causes and effects an injury might have on related body structures. I spend 1-1.5 hours of 1:1 time with clients during this time. Follow ups are always 60 minutes of a 1:1 session without interruptions or overlapping with other patients. You might receive a video of exercises tailored for you and/or a detailed personalized chart of exercises. Because each session is packed with education and hands on manual therapy, patients leave empowered to take ownership in their recovery process. You may only need 1 visit/week and many of my clients graduate quickly to bimonthly sessions! You can always call or email with any questions about your exercises between sessions. I come to each session committed to your success!
Do you take insurance?
Going with an insurance based physical therapy program might seem to make sense because we have been trained to think that that is what we deserve out of our healthcare system. Because the typical copay for a specialist is often $45/session, a week of physical therapy will cost $90-$115 and 2-3 hours of your time for truly only 40-60 minutes of one on one time with a therapist. In most cases one session per week to one session every other week is all it takes to not only reduce your symptoms but also to learn about what
body needs to be its best. Because I want to treat more than the symptom, but, the root cause of a dysfunction, and, because I believe we all deserve the right to be educated on how to best care for our own bodies, I am dedicated to doing whatever it takes to help clients reach their goals. Because I pour so much energy and time into the things that matter, I don't have the ability to bill insurances as well. Patients are welcome to inquire with their insurance companies about how to get out of network reimbursement and also can use health saver's accounts to pay for services. Cash, check and most cards are excepted. In the end, client's get much more out of each session with me now than in a week's worth of sessions when I worked in the outpatient clinics. Newburyport Wellness, LLC charges $150 for evaluations and $70 for $45 for follow ups. Evaluations last 1-1.5 hours and follow ups 45 min- 60 min. Your success is important to me and I am always available to help guide you to success.
Do you just provide physical therapy?
No. As a certified Performance Enhancement Specialist, I work with many clients on personal fitness goals and sports performance goals. My work in the fitness world varies from those that are just beginning an exercise program, to those aiming to reach a specific sport goal. In addition, my work with young female athletes is directed at sport specific training designed to improve inner core and hip control to make movement more efficient and powerful. This can reduce injury and optimizes performance.
*If you are considering building core strength or tackling a limiting dysfunction, don't be deterred by cost. We can work together to find a plan that works for you. I offer a free phone consultation in which I am happy to answer any questions you might have. Investing in yourself is one of the most cost-effective ways to actively manage your overall wellbeing.
**Due to Medicare Laws, I am unable to treat client's who have Medicare insurance.

Chisiya was fast and smiled. She was friendly and made my dad laugh. She remembered that my dad didn't like a lot of ice in his beverage. She was awesome and you're lucky to have an employee who cares so much for her customers and takes such pride in the company she's representing. It's rare this day and age, she knew the menu and was awesome. I'm impressed and I don't ever do these kinds of things but she needs to be recognized for her customer service and loyalty to your company.

Since we are going to Carpinteria for Thanksgiving and having grilled lobster and tri-tip with our relatives and friends, I decided I wanted some turkey. Lots of turkey . For sandwiches and turkey curry, etc. So I went and got a 20 pound turkey for 5 bucks at Food4Less, a special deal for buying 25 dollars worth of groceries. Since our oven is broke, I called our neighbor George on the phone and asked if I could please use his oven and in return, he would get half of the turkey. Here is the turkey (just a plain young california turkey, unwrapped of its plastic cover and after having thawed out in the refirigeartor for 4 days. In the past, I have successfully thawed out a turkey in half a day by putting it in a plastic bag completely submerging it in a sink of water.
The hardest thing about doing a turkey is getting that metal clamp out !!!!! Get your sink super clean and put that turkey in there and wrestle with it in there! I took out the giblet bag and opened it and cooked them for the dogs. The bony neck and fatty tail piece I threw away.
Then I rinsed the inside of the turkey really good, and the outside, too. I blotted the inside with paper towel. I decided to stuff the turkey and went the easy route: Stove Top brand! To make it more delicious, I sauted 2 medium onions, chopped, in a tablespoon of buuter. After 15 minutes, I added a cup and a half of diced celery and sauteed that for just a minute. Then I added the Stove Top stuffing (I used 2 boxes) as prepared by package directions. One exception was that I did not put butter in the cooking water because I knew the stuffing would absorb lots of fat and juices from the turkey itself.
Stuffing the turkey and trussing it was a bit difficult. After stuffing and trussing (sticking those pins in and wrapping the string---er, dental floss ...around them, I had to flip it over to stuff truss the neck opening. I also spread some softened butter under the skin of the breast portion of the turkey. Oh, and I salted and peppered and "Mrs. Dash"ed the outside and the cavity before I put the stuffing in.

Of all the Guilds of Ravnica mechanics, surveil has received the most attention. A scry variant doesn't exactly scream "build around me," but the guild seems pushed, and there are enough synergies that it makes me want to work on it. In our most recent podcast, Siggy, Sam Black, and I went through the process of building new Guilds of Ravnica decks together, and one of the decks we built was a surveil deck. Today, I'll expand on our conversation from that episode and review each of the potentially playable surveil cards.
There are two reasonable ways to build a surveil deck. The first one is Turbo Surveil, where surveil is the theme of the deck. The second is just a control deck that happens to use surveil cards. The second style of deck will almost certainly be successful, but I like pushing mechanics when I first work with them, so I'm going to start with Turbo Surveil.
Some surveil cards are just good cards. Price of Fame, Thought Erasure, and Sinister Sabotage will probably see play regardless of whether there's a surveil deck. But some of the surveil cards require building around them, and then give you a payoff:
Thoughtbound Phantasm
I like this card a lot, and it has potential even if you aren't full-on surveil. It's easy to make this a 3/3 blocker on turn 2, and then a 4/4 blocker on turn 3, which should be good enough to halt most attacks. Then, at some point, it doubles as a kill condition. I think this will be one of the best cards in a surveil deck.
Dimir Spybug
This is a more focused card than Thoughtbound Phantasm, because the base stats are worse, so you need to surveil for it to work. Thoughtbound Phantasm can at least trade with most early attackers with zero activations if you need it to. Once you do start attacking, though, it's almost impossible to block.
Creeping Chill
This card is also deceptively powerful. The rate on it is obviously horrible, but getting the effect for free is amazing, especially because of how well it works with Doom Whisperer.
Doom Whisperer
This is the best way to get a ton of on-demand surveil. A 6/6 flying, trample for 5 isn't bad, filtering your draws is pretty good, and triggering surveil all the time is incredible.
These four cards work well together and are the core of the surveil deck I want to build. The basic idea is that Doom Whisperer can trigger surveil once for every 2 life you spend, which will put a counter on both Spybug and Thoughtbound Phantasm. If you have two of those creatures in play, then it becomes "pay 2 life: put a +1/+1 counter on two creatures," which means that you just win the game if you have as much life as your opponent does. It also mills you for a hefty amount, looking for Creeping Chill and potentially Narcomoeba.
Consider this sequence:
- Turn 2, Dimir Spybug.
- Turn 3, attack (19)
- Turn 4, attack (18)
- Turn 5, play Doom Whisperer. Activate the ability five times, hitting a Creeping Chill. You're now at 13 and they are at 15. Your Spybug is a 6/6.
- Activate the ability another 6 times, hitting another Creeping Chill. You're at 4 life, they're at 12 life. Your Spybug is a 12/12, and you can make it a 13/13 if you want.
This is lethal and only requires two cards! Obviously there is a lot going on—you could be at 5 life instead of 20, you could hit zero Creeping Chills, but there are also other things you can do over the course of the game, and this sequence has you completely skipping turns 1, 3, and 4. You could play a Thought Erasure turn 3, which will already put a counter on the Spybug. Or you could have drawn a Creeping Chill, which you can cast on turn 4. Or you can have a second Spybug, Thoughtbound Phantasm, or Lazav, so you need to hit no Creeping Chills. Or you could just hit all four Creeping Chills in the top 30 cards or so.
I think that the potential combo with those cards is so powerful that there has to be a deck in there somewhere. Here's the rest of the supporting cast:
Lazav, the Multifarious
I love this card. 1/3 surveil 1 for 2 mana isn't a good rate, but it's not awful either, and it works really well with the deck—it triggers Thoughtbound Phantasm and Dimir Spybug, it benefits from previous surveils, and it lets you hit that "critical mass" of surveil-matters creatures to justify Doom Whisperer. It also works as other copies of Doom Whisperer, and it's even sort of a combo with itself by acting as both pieces of the Doom Whisperer + Thoughtbound Phantasm combo. If you have both in your graveyard, you can attack with your Doom Whisperer, Lazav, and, after blocks, stack a bunch of surveil triggers and then morph it into a Thoughtbound Phantasm. Then, once it gets all of the counters, you can even morph it back into a Doom Whisperer.
You're milling a lot of cards, so Narcomoebas could be getting into play for free a lot. The issue is that it's just not that exciting of a card, even if it's free. You don't mill your whole deck like Dredge unless you have Doom Whisperer, you don't have other creatures that combine to attack (Bloodghast, Prized Amalgam) and you don't have a use for the body (no Dread Return or Cabal Therapy). I think this card will most likely not make the cut.
Enhanced Surveillance
This is OK if you're trying to put a lot of Narcomoebas into play, but not that strong of an effect otherwise. If the surveil-matters cards triggered based on the number of cards you surveil, then that'd be a lot different.
Blood Operative
I'm a fan of this card. It sucks against Goblin Chainwhirler (story of every card's life), but if they don't have it, a 3/1 lifelinker is a decent card. The fact that you will be able to get it without spending a card at basically any point in this deck is great, as the surveil cards both put it in the graveyard and bring it back. Against control, it's a resilient threat that demands a permanent answer.
Thought Erasure
This card is just great, and it works especially well here because you want to make sure that your creatures live.
Price of Fame
Another card I think is great. It competes with Vraska's Contempt, but the upside is real—getting surveil 2 is much better than gaining 2 life overall, even if it doesn't exile or hit planeswalkers. It's also extremely cheap if you're killing a legend, and a fair number of good cards are legends (Lazav is always a legend, Aurelia, Lyra, Sai, Ghalta, Nicol Bolas, and so on). I think this card will see play regardless of whether surveil is a deck or not.
Mission Briefing
I love this card as a Snapcaster-Mage-esque value card, but I'm not sure that a turbo surveil deck will have enough targets. It's a creature deck, the spells are the support here, so this card probably doesn't have a home, but control decks might want it.
Notion Rain
Another card that is just good. Read the Bones was perfectly acceptable, and putting the cards in the graveyard is significantly better than putting them on the bottom. The main issue is that Read the Bones was usually played as a way of getting card advantage in decks that didn't have blue, such as B/W or B/R control, and Notion Rain requires you to have blue, so you might just have better options available, but when you are a surveil-matters deck then you're going to want Notion Rain almost for sure.
I do worry a bit about your life being taxed too much between Doom Whisperer, Notion Rain, and Blood Operative, so you probably can't jam four, but Creeping Chill and Doom Operator go a long way toward gaining some life back, so you can play a couple.
Sinister Sabotage
Another "just great" card that will be a counterspell staple for years, the same way Dissolve and Disallow were. That said, I'm not sure it's actually what you want here, as I envision this deck being more proactive.
Disinformation Campaign
The rate on this card is never good, but it's not awful either, so having the ability to do it almost at will could be pretty good. It doesn't impact the board much, so maybe a sideboard card?
Unexplained Disappearance
This is a medium card—you'll want it if you're desperate for some cheap interaction and/or cheap surveil, but I'm not excited about it.
Whisper Agent
The new Rogue Refiner is probably too weak to see play. I like how it plays with Sinister Sabotage (you can leave mana up and then play one or the other), but surveil 1 is too small a number. Maybe with surveil 2 this card could have been good.
Nightveil Sprite
Getting surveil 1 each time you attack is pretty good—you don't even have to connect, so you get to pump your surveil-matters dudes before damage is dealt. If you're looking for another 2-drop, you could do worse.
Whispering Snitch
Unfortunately not a major combo with Doom Whisperer, but still a minor one. If you have enough surveil, it could offset the life loss from Demon, Blood Operative, and Notion Rain. It's also a good target for Lazav, and works better with instant-speed surveil cards.
Dream Eater
This card is tough to evaluate. A 4/3 is a pretty bad body, and it can't ambush much in combat, but it's a good attacker—it's more of a tempo play than a Torrential Gearhulk, really. The issue is that it's a bit expensive, doesn't work well with Lazav, and you don't really want land number six here.
Dazzling Lights
Surveil 2 at instant speed for 1 mana is pretty good, but this card is just so weak. The fact that you have to have a creature in play to target with it means that you can't even keep one land Dazzling Light hands, which is awkward.
Connive // Concoct
This is an interesting card. Both effects are a bit narrow but potentially great, which is exactly what you want in a split card. In this deck, you'd be playing it more for the Concoct side. If you're going to cast a Doom Whisperer, it's better to just cast Concoct instead. But, overall, I think it's not strong enough.
Discovery // Dispersal
This card you'd be playing most for the Discovery side, though Dispersal can also be quite good in the right situation. Is 2 mana, surveil 2, draw a card worth it? My inclination is that in a normal deck, it's not—2 mana is too expensive for Preordain, even if it's better than Preordain—but in a deck where you're getting a benefit from surveiling beyond just the card selection, it might be good enough.
Darkblade Agent
This looks like a Limited card, but if you assume that it's always on, it's a 2/3 deathtouch that draws a card when you hit them, which is not bad at all.
It is, however, quickly outclassed by this card:
Thief of Sanity
Boy is this card pushed. There is a subclass of creatures that you feel like you have to kill immediately or you can't win. Dark Confidant and Grim Flayer are cards like this, and so is Thief of Sanity. It does cost 3, which makes it more likely that you can overrun them even if it's working, but looking at three options and using mana of any color to cast one is just so strong. This doesn't really interact with surveil in any way (unless you steal their surveil card, in which case mise), but I think it's strong enough that you might want to play it anyway. It will be a lightning rod for removal, which will let your surveilers survive.
Search for Azcanta
The original surveil card unfortunately doesn't have the keyword "surveil," even though it does literally the same thing, but it still works well with the theme. It throws stuff in the graveyard (Blood Operative, Creeping Chill, Narcomoeba), and it's very easy to flip if your other cards also fill the graveyard. I think Search for Azcanta will be the best draw engine for control decks, but is probably too slow for what the turbo version is trying to do.
Jump-start is a good mechanic to pair with surveil, since milling a jump-start card is good value, but unfortunately it seems like they played it really safe with this mechanic, and there aren't any great jump-start cards for a deck like this. If you're a control deck, then Chemister's Insight is good, but it seems too slow for what you're trying to do here.
So, all in all, here's how I would build Turbo Surveil:
Turbo Surveil
As a bonus, another potentially interesting build that plays a decent amount of surveil is U/R Drakes. Enigma Drake and Crackling Drake are both in Standard, and both benefit heavily from cards in the graveyard. I tried building an Enigma Drake deck before (I think it's a powerful card), but the support cast was weaker. Now that there are two Drakes, one of which cantrips, and some ways to put cards in the graveyard for "free," I think we can revisit it. In this context, the Dimir mechanic is actually better than the Izzet mechanic (though this is mostly a function of all the cards with jump-start being mediocre).
Here's what I would try:
U/R Surveil Drakes
This is just a rough sketch, but it's a deck style I've tried to make work forever, so I'll certainly try it again with Guilds of Ravnica.

Shouldering a burden
I figured I've filled up the comment fields at GoToTennis about this enough in the past few weeks: Now I need to go ahead and put something on my blog about it!
Maria Sharapova made her singles comeback today in Warsaw and managed to get through a three-setter against Tathiana Garbin. She came out smokin' in the first set, but had some rusty spots that led to the match being extended. Still, it was a good win for Sharapova and I'm glad to see her back as she's one of my favorite players on the WTA Tour.
But I think she should've just skipped the clay-court season!
That shoulder injury of hers was (or is?) obviously pretty serious, and I think clay is the worst surface for any kind of arm injury. I know the serve is the stroke most affected by that particular joint injury, but if you're out there hitting a lot more balls than you do on faster surfaces, then that's going to put some strain on the shoulder. Strain that's unnecessary to go through I feel.
I was saying this to Freakyfrites and the other GTT readers that to me, she should've looked at the clay like Patrick Rafter did toward the end of his career. It gets overlooked, but he was definitely a decent clay-court player during his peak years. After his shoulder injury, you rarely saw him playing on it as much those last couple of years he was on tour. And he went on to make back-to-back Wimbledon finals! Now, I wasn't in Rafter's camp at the time, so I don't know his exact train of thought, but it doesn't look like you can argue with whatever decision he made as far as scaling back his dirtballing went.
For Sharapova's sake, I'm glad there's only a couple of weeks left in this part of the season for her, and my concerns for her coming back now were probably deeper when she was talking about playing Rome and Madrid. I just hope she doesn't set herself back further when there was no need to come back now. But I guess that's what I like about Sharapova: All the off-court stuff is cool to her, but you just know she loves to be out there competing.
I just wish she would've waited till the grass-court season!

Hi Van! While I've enjoyed hearing about Maria S. playing in Warsaw this week, I've grown increasingly worried every match she plays. Don't know if it's just the fear of the unknown, or what. I'm still not convinced that she'll really be able to come back - on any surface.
Maybe it's the fact that she lost today to Bondarenko - I read that's who she injured her shoulder against in the first place. So maybe that's why I'm spooked.
Looking forward to the RG draw and reading your thoughts!

Hey Freakyfrites! I didn't know you were wondering about her being able to come back. She's so young, though. I hope she does, but if I were her, I'd never set foot on clay again! : )
And I'm about to put something up soon about the big one. I'll try not to make too many crazy predictions!

Furniture, cabinets, and instruments are all commonly made using both Hard Maple and Soft Maple. However, for hardwood flooring, Hard Maple is used more often because it has a higher density and is about 25% harder than Soft Maple.
Both Hard Maple and Soft Maple species can produce a variety of unique grain effects. Grains such as birdseye, curly, tiger striped, and even wormy are all sought after grain patterns for customers looking for a unique look. These special grains are usually coveted by designers. However, flooring and cabinet manufacturers prefer the regular grain of the Maple species for its beautiful coloration and consistent grain pattern.
Species like Red Oak and White Oak are easy to tell apart. But how do you tell the difference between Soft Maple and Hard Maple? These tips might help.
- Check the end grain. Hard Maple grows at a slower rate than Soft Maple. Because of this, the growth rings on Hard Maple will be tighter than the growth rings on a Soft Maple board.
- Observe the color. Hard Maple usually has a lighter, more uniformed color. While Soft Maple is typically darker, sometimes carrying hues of brown, red, or even grey.
- Look at the leaves. If the tree is still standing and yet to be harvested, take a look at its leaves. Hard Maple leaves have sinuses which are U-shaped valleys between the points of the lead, also referred to as lobes. The lobes are similar to the round gaps that we have between the fingers on our hand. A Soft Maple leaf, however, will have sinuses that are more V-shaped.
- Weigh the boards. While there are many variables that can sway the results, taking a Soft Maple board and a Hard Maple board to determine which one is heavier (denser) is one way you can tell the difference between the two. Often, Hard Maple boards are heavier than Soft Maple boards. This method is not always 100% accurate, however.
- Do a test with Iron Sulfate test. By dabbing a small amount of Iron Sulfate to the Maple board you will get one of two reactions. If it is on a Hard Maple board, iron sulfate will create a pale blue or green coloration on the board. On a Soft Maple board, the chemical will turn dark blue to black in color.
Hard Maple and Soft Maple species both provide exceptional hardwood lumber products. Baillie lumber is fortunate to be located close to an excellent supply source of both Hard Maple and Soft Maple species. If you use Maple for your manufacturing or would like to give either one of these species a try, give us a call, we would be happy to help!

Many trainers have been complaining since the update that catching Pokemon seems to be much harder. We have used endless supplies of Pokeballs in an attempt to catch low-level common Pokemon only to see them constantly break free and then run away!
The good news is it's not just your imagination and your not the only one that is throwing 10+ Pokeballs at low-level Pidgey's only to have them then run away!
Many fans believed that the difficulty was increased to capture Pokemon on purpose in order to boost profits made from in-game Pokeball purchases. However, Niantic has admitted that a bug has been found that arrived in the latest update.
"Trainers, a new bug affecting throw accuracy increases the odds of escape and omits the XP bonus. We are working on a fix, stay tuned…"
So the developer is intending to fix this, although it wasn't made clear when this fix will go live.
This will hopefully reduce some frustration after the recent issues affecting the game, including removing the broken tracking feature and shutting down popular third-party tracking sites such as PokeVision.
We will keep you updated as soon as we find out when the fix will be released. Until then be sure stock up on Pokeballs before heading out to areas with minimal Pokestops!

text: Outsourcing companies should think about the business in more holistic ways. Today, outsourcing is transitioning from offshoring which moved jobs overseas to save on wages to a new phase based on business model innovation to get new results from outside the company. Outsourcing moves in the direction of much-improved quality. When a company needs a new marketing plan, they do not have to ramp up the entire department. A new real possibility as remote and high-quality labor is a good consideration. To see the merits of hiring that remote and high-quality labor will help the company moves forward. Employees today can outsource themselves, especially those who have specific skills. They would strive well in the outsourcing arena if they can stay focused on improving and sharing their expertise. However, the outsourcing job is not only for experienced workers looking for something new. The recent college graduates can also build a career by building up their experience in small business works.Outsourcing has become a trend of managing businesses in information technology and other industries today. Well, it is an arrangement made by a company which providing services for another company. Outsourcing company offers you a plan and business analysis, installation management, or servicing of a network. The contract can be small or large depends on the agreement between you and outsourcing company. Outsourcing is also known as Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). It is a process of hiring another individual or company, domestically or internationally, to handle business activities for you. Since this type of service brings you specific skill to work on particular work, once the task is done, you might not need it anymore. You will set a budget only for one project with certain duration. Financially, it makes sense for the company because who doesn't like low budget, right? There is another benefit of hiring an outsourcing company. You don't need to provide or invest in certain software or equipment. Why? Because the contractor will handle it and it is included in their fee.

Taylor Swift & Kanye West: She 'Avoided Him At All Costs' At Met Gala
Taylor Swift is tired of the drama that follows Kanye West everywhere! We hear that she purposely chose not to hang out with him at the Met Ball — find out why.
Taylor Swift, 26, and Kanye West, 38, might be on the rocks again. We've learned EXCLUSIVELY that they didn't speak at all at the Met Gala on May 2, and we know why they weren't spotted together. Read on to see why Tay wasn't interested in socializing with Ye during fashion's biggest night!
A source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Taylor was perfectly fine not talking to Kanye at all last night: "Taylor is so completely over Kanye and all the drama surrounding him. She knew he would be there and wanted to make sure there were no run-ins," the insider says. "Taylor always seemed to be on the other side of the room from him and Kim, and Taylor made sure she surrounded herself with her friends and people she felt comfortable with. It sort of looked like she was avoiding him." The Met Gala has to be hugely stressful, and we don't blame Tay for wanting to feel comfortable on such an important night!
Kanye and Taylor each had a great time and Tay looked absolutely incredible last night. She played to the "Manus x Machina: Fashion in the Age of Technology" theme in an custom, edgy metallic silver Louis Vuitton minidress, but kept it trendy by adding sexy black lace up stilettos. The "New Romantics" singer styled her platinum blonde locks in messy, textured waves with a side part — so cool. We're still not used to seeing this goth-glam look on Taylor, but she looked stunning!
HollywoodLifers, do you think Taylor was staying away from Kanye on purpose? Tell us what you think!

It's a good time to be in aerospace and defense. The outlook is positive for the next four to five years, according to Deloitte's 2018 Global Aerospace and Defense Industry Outlook,
But, there are still major challenges facing this sector. Let's look at the top five challenges A&D manufacturers face, as identified in a report from Ernst and Young.
- Volatility in the geopolitical and economic environment—The performance of global companies, like those in A&D, is tied closely to economic growth and political stability. No growth and stability in the world, no growth in the A&D sector. With the threat of tariffs on imported metals and other goods, Brexit and instability in European financial markets, and signs of slowing growth in China, there's a real threat that geopolitical and economic tides may be ready to turn. There's not much an A&D manufacturer can do to offset these risks, other than stay informed and operate as efficiently as possible.
- Managing the supply chain—With enormous supply chains can come enormous headaches. To offset these issues, A&D manufacturers need to create smarter supply chains—supply chains that are highly interconnected and deeply collaborative. With an interconnected, collaborative supply chain, A&D manufacturers can view their own parts inventory and the inventory of their suppliers in real-time, to avoid nasty surprises and possible production shutdowns.
- Competition in domestic and international markets—The big players just keep getting bigger and driving harder bargains. To compete effectively, A&D manufacturers need to keep their supply chains operating efficiently and collaboratively. In a collaborative environment, A&D manufacturers and suppliers can help drive out waste, maintain the optimum inventory of incoming materials and parts, and more effectively forecast need—all of which can help with cost containment efforts and staying competitive.
- Managing and retaining talent—A highly engaged, talented workforce can help A&D manufacturers gain an edge. Competition can be tough for workers with the right technical skills and clearances. To make it a little easier to attract talent, broaden your pool of candidates—cloud-based technology allows staffers to work from anywhere, at any time. And be sure to give valuable employees opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and advance—all of which help improve job satisfaction.
- Performing on key contracts—Delays, setbacks, product failures, and cost overruns can ruin an A&D manufacturer's brand and financial viability. The keys here are building in quality from the ground up and establishing a smarter, more collaborative supply chain. Everyone in the supply chain needs to work together to reduce informational silos, establish one accurate version of the truth, and share accurate information in real-time. A cloud-based supplier portal gives both manufacturers and suppliers the visibility, security, and traceability they need to improve quality, cut costs, strengthen their relationships, and deliver on key contracts.
Find out more about how a cloud-based supplier portal can help address these challenges.

Minivans are the smalllest, and most specified vehicle class out there. That can make it hard to afford a brand-new model, as price can be an issue. That's why we recommend one of these pre-owned minivan options.
The quality is not lost on these reliable pre-owned minivan models; however, the price is greatly reduced over the new cost. It seems that many minivans are purchased and used temporarily, as families look for the right option for those years when the kids are all smaller, and then transition to SUVs when those kids are bigger.
Utility, Space and Comfort for Less
If you're a family man or woman, you might already know the value of a good pre-owned minivan. The space for your whole crew, the storage for all of their stuff, and all the bells and whistles to keep everyone occupied on those long family trips is what has made the minivan one of America's most popular vehicles for decades.
Perhaps you're already a convert, in search of your new family hauler. Maybe you're looking for your first minivan as your brood outgrows your sedan or compact crossover.
Whatever the reason, if you're in search of a minivan, your very first question probably goes something like this. "New or pre-owned?"
While any new vehicle offers a few big upsides, the overwhelming majority of data and information available tells us that a buying pre-owned minivan gets you much more bang for your buck and will far outpace any new vehicle when it comes to value.
Here we'll take a look at just a few of the most affordable and highly-rated pre-owned minivans on the market today.
Toyota Sienna
When it comes to value, few makes can beat a Toyota. Look around on any street or highway in America and you'll likely see an old Toyota, two decades or more, running just fine. That's because when they're maintained right, a Toyota will just about run forever. Which is what makes a pre-owned Toyota so desirable.
Just because it's a ten-year-old van with 50k or more on the odometer doesn't mean it won't run like brand new, which is why you should definitely look into buying a Toyota Sienna for your pre-owned minivan.
Honda Odyssey
Much like Toyota, Honda makes vehicles that can just about run forever if you treat them right. Finding a well-maintained and clean Odyssey for not a lot of scratch isn't a problem either, as these have been some of America's most popular minivans since they were unveiled in the mid-90s.
And the best part about the Honda Odyssey is how they still maintain a cool look with a ton of style despite being known as a family hauler. From their top of the line tech to their impeccable running ability, you might not find a better ride for less than the Odyssey.
Dodge Grand Caravan
Arguably the granddaddy of all minivans, the Dodge Grand Caravan has been a staple of the American family life since it rolled out of the factory in all of its wood-paneled glory nearly forty years ago. Much like the Sienna, there's a reason you're likely to see a Grand Caravan on almost every highway in America. These minivans have always been sturdy, reliable, American-built family machines.
Today, the Grand Caravan has a much cooler look to go with its powerful engine options and luxurious interior. Combined, all of those things might make you forget that you're driving around in a pre-owned minivan. But then again, why would you want to do that?

Depression is a mental disorder brought by excessive stress. Being depressed affects how you feel, how you think and how you connect with others. It is marked by elevated levels of sadness, loss of interest in activities and leads to detachment from the society (friends and relatives). It can also lead to emotional, psychological and physical problems hence decreasing one's ability to function. Depression varies. It can be severe or mild.
The signs and symptoms of depression include:
- Feeling extremely sad all the time
- Increased or decreased appetite
- Lack of sleep or oversleeping
- Fatigue
- Feelings of unworthiness
- Difficulty in making decisions, concentration and even thinking
- Getting distracted easily
- Comparing yourself to others
- Emotional breakdown
- Suicidal thoughts
Fortunately, one can overcome depression, but first the willingness must first come from you. Having a positive mindset when you are going through hardships is what will help you overcome them. Believe that all you are going through will be over, it is just a phase.
Second thing is distracting yourself. Do not lock yourself all day and night in the house. Go out and do something you enjoy, either alone or with family and friends. Also surround yourself with people full of good energy, people who will encourage you and be there for you at that tough situation. Positive vibes really help at this point.
Another thing you should do is do what you love. It can be working out, cooking, swimming, something that will give you a sense of purpose, fulfillment and enjoyment. In this age there are professionals specialized in this area. Seeking help is essential and need not be cause for stigmatization. Treatments vary, but they do go a long way towards recovery.
Life can never be a smooth path we all have ups and downs, but how we choose to deal with them is what matters. People need to understand that it is okay not to be okay. What's not okay, is not seeking help when we are not okay.

Water quality of collapsible, concrete, earthen and natural ponds under different culture systems were assessed using of Photometer and tester. Temporal and spatial replications of samples were done in triplicates. Dissolved oxygen ranged between 4.6 to 6.8 mg/l, carbon dioxide 1.4 - 3.0 mg/l, nitrate 1.6 - 3.2 mg/l, phosphate 0.8 - 2.3 mg/l, calcium hardness 65- 100 mg/l, magnesium hardness 30 - 50 mg/l and total hardness 80 and 165 mg/l. Conductivity ranged between 346 - 472 μS/cm, total dissolved solids 232 - 316 mg/l, transparency 36 - 82 cm, alkalinity 105 - 245 mg/l, pH 6.35 - 8.03 and temperature 29.1 to 35.9 °C. Significant difference (P<0.05) was obtained among the parameters in the ponds showing the effects of the different culture systems on the water quality. Variations in the water quality was due to the presence of plankton and macrophytes found in earthen and natural ponds where semi-intensive and extensive culture were practiced, use of artificial feed in collapsible and concrete ponds where intensive culture was done, effects of respiration, photosynthesis and decomposition, source of water and materials used for the construction of the ponds. Water quality in the ponds under the different culture systems was good.

About The Book
The Literary Discussion of the 1920s was a pivotal event in Ukrainian intellectual history, one whose significance reaches far beyond issues of literary form and style. An expression of cultural self-assertion, it produced a vigorous debate on issues fundamental to Ukraine's future as a modern nation: its right to exist, its relationship to Russia and Europe, and its sense of identity.
The present book is the first comprehensive monograph on the subject. It explores the historical and political context underlying the explosion of polemical writing; analyzes the course of events; and discusses the main theoretical issues.
The study also broaches several questions of wider compass, which makes it of interest to students of cultural studies. It provides a synthetic treatment of an avant-garde movement from its heroic early years to its co-optation by Stalinism; presents a case study of a cultural intelligentsia dealing with a society in the throes of revolutionary change; and offers a description of the explosive growth of cultural nationalism in inter-war Europe. Drawing on government policy, public debates, émigré accounts, and recent discussions in Ukraine, the narrative is rich in implications for contemporary events. Indeed, the attitude of newly independent Ukraine towards Europe and the crucial Russo-Ukrainian relationship can only be understood against the background of the "great debate" of the twenties, which mapped out the country's fundamental cultural dilemmas and elicited responses from its most prominent activists and intellectuals.
Also available in the Ukrainian version: Модерністи, марксисти і нація.

October 2003October 28th, 2003
Editorial: A few things have caught my eye these past few days. Firstly Dizzee Rascal winning the Mercury Music Award and also the new track/video by So Solid Crew titled 'Broken Silence. Both show obvious hip-hop influence and have caught me off guard. Initially, when I first heard of that Rascal fella I thought 'here we go again, another hyped up garage MC being mistaken as hip-hop' but its egg in my face! The guy has nothing on tons of UK Mc's doing their hip-hop thing but who's more fitting to win. A posh git and a piano in the form of Coldplay, or some young dude who could do with the money and publicity? The lyrics and voice aren't to my taste but that first singles beat is real interesting. This morning I was flicking through the music channels on Sky Digital (Thanks Sean Paul) and came across some corny dude rapping about the government putting him in a box and making him pay taxes or whatever. It was embarrassin but a couple of other guys came along and did some okay verses. To my surprise the name that the annoying little writing said was So Solid Crew! Excuse me? I didn't hear one 'Nigga' word or see any gold chains and guns! But then it came to me. I had been tricked. This was the commercial first single!
Dead Prez were arrested during a photo shoot for apparently refusing to show police officers some ID. The members of the military hip-hop outfit who are to release 'RBG Mixtape Volume 2′ in mid October, refused to present identification and wouldn't co-operate with the officers. This is all say so, as no official statements have been made. But what we can be sure of, they're 'living in a police state'.
Wyclef Jean's forth solo adventure titled 'The Preachers Son' in reference to his late Father, has been delayed and will now be hitting stores on November the forth. His official site www.wyclef.com is offering six new songs to take a listen of and from what it seems, this is to be Wyclef's greatest material to date! He's now declining to talk about the Fugee's breakup and Hill to the press, stating he's now in a different mind space.
Rumour has it that Rakim's 'Oh My God' project might end up on Rawkus Records…who have yet to release albums by Skills, Mos Def, the latest Sound bombing compilation and lots more….so do you swallow it? I don't think so! But jeez, it'd be nice for the speculation to actually end and for Rakim to release something!. I wouldn't say no to Rawkus sorting themselves the fuck out and stop changing distribution every week!
Roots Manuva features on the track 'Hey Yo My Man' by Saian Supa Crew of France.
Whilst America lap up the fantastic new album by Outkast, it seems the UK aren't so keen. State side, it's been reported that shelves have been empty of the disk and that it went platinum instantly. It's not to be seen at all near the top of dotmusic.com's album chart. Shame.
Pitman has somehow managed to pull together an album between eating biscuits and mining. Titled 'Nation Of Tossers' the debut disc features 12" favorites 'Witness The Pitness' and 'Phone Pitman'.
Wyclef falls ill. J Records publicist has confirmed that on returning from a promotional visit to Europe, Wyclef was hospitalized having been diagnosed with food poisoning and exhaustion. Not to worry though, Clef will still be performing a times square stopper of a show in New York this month, to promote the excellent 'Preachers Son', dropping November.
Eric B is filing a law suit against Def Jam records who are about to re-release 'Paid In Full', the classic album he made with the one and only Rakim. Eric B claims that to this day, the two haven't received a penny for now ironically titled album!
Format's 'Ill Culinary Behaviour' and 'Vicious Battle Raps' are remixed and out on his new EP which he is supporting with a ton of gig dates in October.
Radiohead, recently voted the greatest band in the world at the UK's Q Awards have asked Madlib to work on a remix project of the bands album Hail To The Thief, to be released 2004.
Bubba Sparxxx has dropped the album 'Deliverance' jammed with fantastic beats by Timberlake. The rhyming tight too, aside from the Eminem esc moaning and groaning!
Mr Lif delivers science, in a light hearted way. Look out for the video for 'Live From The Plantation'.
The track 'Real 911' by Boo Yaa Tribe featuring Eminem has hit the net. The production's another boring and overly familiar effort but the verses are hot and the hook is bearable.
My Top Five of the moment: Party To Damascus by Wyclef Jean, Blood And Jonez's 'In Our Defense', 'Run Hard' from Jehst, 'Nowhere' by Bubba Sparxx, 'Fuck The Law' by Dead Prez.
Dates of importance: 25/10 Missy Elliot's 'This Is Not A Test' drops 18/11 Floetry deliver a new album 'Floacism'. Sometime in November, Jehst drops a gem!
Gig Dates: DJ Format And MC Abdominal @ Jazz Cafe 11/10/03 Gangstarr @ London Astoria 20/11/03 Public Enemy @ London Forum 20/10/03 UK B-Boy Championships @ Brixton Academy 04/10/03 50 Cent @ Manchester 08/10/03 Busta Rhymes @ Wembley Arena 23/11/03 Sage Francis @ Edinburgh 30/09/03 Black Eyed Peas @ Jazz Cafe 24-26/09/03 Jehst @ Jazz Cafe 28/10/03

After looking at Sweatshop of Love's Half Fabric Half Crochet Infinity Scarf Pattern and reviewing some of the projects using this pattern on Ravelry, I decided to try this pattern a slightly different way … BY KNITTING IT!!!
I basically used the same process and materials that Allyson did, but everything that I did is chronicled below as an alternative to her crochet version.
What I used:
- 44″ by 19″ fabric with design only on one side
- Thread, preferably heavy-duty
- Worsted weight yarn or heavier (I used 106 yds of handspun grey [85% wool/15% mohair] from cosymakes's Reflection Hat Kit, roughly 100-120 yds of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Sportweight grey [2 strands held together] & about 50 yds of Patons Classic Wool grey)
- Crochet hooks, Size G (6-4.25 mm) & 00 (3.50 mm)
- Knitting needles, size 5 & 9
- Small single paper hole puncher
What I did:
- I folded my fabric in half lengthwise with wrong sides facing outwards. Then I sewed or stitched the fabric together. This will gave me roughly a 44″ by 9.5″ piece.
- Along the 9.5″ side, I punched between 26 holes through both pieces of fabric with the hole puncher. Allyson suggested slightly less than 1/2″ apart, but I omitted for roughly 1/4″ apart.
- This next section is exactly like Allyson's project. With the smaller crochet hook, I pulled up a loop of yarn through the first holes in the fabric. Slide that loop on the larger crochet hook. With the smaller crochet hook, I pulled up another loop of yarn through the second holes in the fabric. Slide it on the larger crochet hook. With the larger crochet hook, I yarned over and pull that loop through both loops on the crochet hook, completing the first single crochet stitch.
- I continued in this manner – pulling up a loop of yarn through the next holes in the fabric with my smaller crochet hook, putting that loop on my larger crochet hook, and making a single crochet, until all the holes had single crochet stitches in them.
- When I was done with the row of single crochet, I picked up 26 stitches along the crochet row with the smaller sized knitting needles. Then I knitted for 2 rows and changed to larger size knitting needles.
- I continued knitting every row in garter stitch (but you could switch to whatever you desire). I would advise against woven pattern because the knitted section will be smaller than the fabric section. I worked until my knitted section measured 44″, so now … half of the scarf is knitted and half is fabric.
- I punched the 26 holes in the other side of fabric after making sure to count so that if I lost or added a stitch along the way I could correct it or adjust the number of holes in the fabric.
- As I did before (see #3 & 4), I crocheted a single row into the fabric. Then I picked up 26 stitches with the smaller knitting needle (See #5).
- I grafted the two sides together using the Kitchener's Stitch and wove in the ends. Knitty.com has a good tutorial on grafting when you are using the garter stitch.
- Wear as I desire!! Now this is the super fun part …

Teacher perspective
What inspired you to create a Makerspace?
the idea of society discarding objects rather than fixing or upcycling them
the desire to have learners as fixers and creative makers.
What are the benefits to learners?
regaining lost skills in a modern context
problem-solving skills with the responsibility being on individuals
learning design processes
collaboration and relationship building.
How did you get the Makerspace up and running?
support from school leadership
built on passions of teachers – tinkering rally driver and environmentalist
put resources together of books to inspire children to take risks and develop language around Makerspace
collected free materials to start making
engaged support of parents and friends association to fundraise for some of the additional technology.
What are the challenges of running a Makerspace?
time – finding time to run a Makerspace as an extra-curricular activity
time in a crowded curriculum – important to cover curriculum outcomes
the freedom and learner ownership needs time.
What would you do differently in setting up a Makerspace?
not much – introduce the language of making and provide resources
able to expose learners to tools and ideas through guided learning
worked slowly, without spending a lot of money, to allow the Makerspace to grow organically.
Are there unexpected benefits elsewhere in school?
flowed over to other areas of the curriculum
teachers have engaged and brought maker ideas into their classes – prep teachers and learners inspired to make themselves.
What is the future for your Makerspace?
planning a maker faire to reinvigorate Book Week
putting in more formal time before and after school.
