We believe that everyone is searching for a purpose in life and a place to feel where they belong. Life is a journey, a journey that begins with an encounter with God through His Son Jesus Christ. That encounter with Christ is life-transforming. Our goal at New Stanton Assembly, is to connect people on their journey with a God who loves them so they can discover His purpose for their lives. We invite you to join us as we journey together to be the church family that God wants us to be.
There's a place for you!

|Headwear detection and retrieval with region-based convolutional neural networks
|Lyu, Shuen
|DRNTU::Engineering::Electrical and electronic engineering::Electronic systems::Signal processing
|Issue Date:
|The object detection algorithm, region-based convolutional neural network (RCNN), is very popular in recent years. It boosts the performance significantly by making a combination of two key insights. The first one is to localize and segment objects by applying high-capacity convolutional neural network to bottom-up region proposals. The second one is to apply supervised pre-training followed by domain-specific fine-tuning to training large convolutional neural networks when the labeled training data is insufficient [1]. We train a new model based on Headwear dataset collected by ourselves from google website.In this thesis, we firstly introduce some relevant concepts. We describe the selective search method used for region proposal, and the compositions of building blocks of convolutional neural network (CNN) that include convolutional layer, pooling layer, rectified linear units (ReLU), fully-connected layer and loss layer. We detail the process of dataset preparation that consists of data collection, data labeling and format transformation, which is considered as important preparation work for training process. We use eight categories with about 200 labeled images each category to perform the experiment. The core component of this research is the establishment of the object detection system from the module design to the model testing and validation, which is presented in the chapter 5 in great detail.The mean average precision (mAP) based on Headwear dataset is 47.87%. For Tudung and Turban, the average precision (AP) can reach up to 93.21% and 80.08% respectively, which are much higher than those of other six categories. The AP of Man_Hat and Safety_Helmet are 66.25% and 43.06%, while the AP of other four categories, Woman_Cap, Man_Songkok, Beret and Man_Cap, are all relatively lower than the mAP.

"Boardwalk Empire's" Dabney Coleman on His Career of Playing Hall of Fame Assholes
By: John Sellers
You may have to squint, but, yes, that is Dabney Coleman in the role of Commodore Louis Kaestner, Nucky's scheming mentor and confidante on "Boardwalk Empire." Despite a background in drama, the 78-year-old actor built a memorable second career out of portraying antiheroes and boors in comedies, most notably on the cult sitcom "Buffalo Bill" and in movies such as 9 to 5 and Tootsie. So good has Coleman been at playing — let's face it — assholes, in fact, that you might think he was one himself. But as Vulture found out in a recent phone conversation with Coleman, the man is a pussycat, even if he is proud that he made TV safe for jerks.
You didn't really become a household name until 1976, when you were in your forties. Why do you think it took so long?
The big thing that turned everything around was [the nightly comedic soap opera] "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman"…No one knew I could do comedy until that time. For ten years or so, I was doing only minor parts — you know, third or fourth leads, and not really good, interesting parts. Even on "Mary Hartman" [where he played duplicitous mayor Merle Jeeter ], I was supposed to only do six shows and then get killed off. But it turned out that I could do comedy pretty well, and differently, and realistically. And what I learned is that there's always a demand for anybody who can do comedy.
Did growing your signature mustache in 1973 also factor into your success?
Oh, yes. Without the mustache, I looked too much like Richard Nixon. And that's true. It's a fact. There's no question that when I grew that mustache, all of a sudden, everything changed. But it's funny, I got the call after going in to audition for "Mary Hartman" and they said, "They want you to do six shows — if you shave the mustache." And I said, "I'm not shaving the mustache." And my agent, I remember, said, "Well, it's not as if 'Mary Hartman''s going to make or break your career. I'm just going to turn them down."
Nice, they totally caved. And just a few years later, you were playing the world's worst boss in 9 to 5. Was that the first time you played a total prick?
No, that was "Mary Hartman." That's what this guy was. Merle Jeeter — just a great character, a real bozo. [9 to 5's Franklin M. Hart Jr.] was virtually the same guy. In fact, that's not true — he was just the bad side of Jeeter. The prick side of him, to use your vernacular. No redeeming qualities.
Was 9 to 5 a turning point in your career?
No question about it. That opened up the movies for me. The girls [Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton] were so supportive of me, and included me in everything. They were on a whole different level than I was at the time, but they were very sensitive about that, and made sure that I was included in every publicity shot and tour. All three of them insisted, "Where's Dabney? Get him in here!" They're all three unique and wonderful ladies, all three of them.
I assume you enjoyed being hog-tied by Dolly Parton?
[Laughs.] I did. Of course. I'm only human.
The success of that movie led to you being the go-to guy for boorish characters for a while. Which of them was the biggest jerk?
The biggest jerk? Probably Bill Bittinger in [TV series] "Buffalo Bill." That was great, I have to say. That was a well-written, funny series. But it just didn't have any ratings.
I'm glad you brought up "Buffalo Bill." It's a prime example of a show that was canceled too soon. Were you disappointed it ended so abruptly?
To tell you the truth, no. I was exhausted. It was an exhausting show, just by the nature of the writing being so good, and the long speeches. The reality is, if you do something for a year, or 26 episodes, you've probably had enough of it. The fun of it is probably over after the first season. That's the reality. The only reason you keep doing it is to make a living.
Antiheroes are everywhere on TV now — even on "Boardwalk Empire," for example. Are you proud of having helped make television safe for jerky lead characters?
I don't take credit for being the first. I would have to give that to Carroll O'Connor. But sure, I was one of the first. It's fun playing those roles. You get to do outlandish things, things that you want to do, probably, in real life but you just don't because you're a civilized human being. There are no holds barred when you're playing [jerks] — I couldn't imagine anyone not loving playing those parts.
You don't get to use your comedic skills much on "Boardwalk Empire." Would you be okay if the Commodore were your last role?
Well, I wish I'd done more. A lot more. But you know, I feel very fortunate to have done what I have done. And I'm enjoying this thing. And that's present tense: I'm enjoying the hell out of doing this thing on "Boardwalk Empire."
So you survive season one? In recent episodes, you've thrown up in a spitoon and announced you were dying.
Yeah. We start back up in January. From what I understand, the role is going to be a little bigger and developed a bit more next year. They told me a story line, which I can't reveal, that's going to be a lot more interesting, and a lot of fun. I'm fortunate to get this part at this time in my career because it's definitely a different character for me.
And so we come to the hidden agenda behind this interview: to thank you for being in WarGames.
You played a systems engineer overseeing the military mainframe WOPR. Were you at all familiar with computers going into that?
No. In fact, I wasn't even familiar with computers when I did You've Got Mail. At the interview, I walked in and Nora Ephron, who wrote and directed that, said … Uh … I still can't think of it now. What do you say … ? What is the expression? Is it, "Are you online?" Meaning, "Do you use a computer?" What do you call it?
"Are you online?" sounds about right.
Does that make sense to you? Is there such an expression? Meaning, "Do you have a website, and do you use a computer?" Anyway, whatever it was, I said, "I don't even know what that means." And they all laughed. And that was well into the computer age. I still only use the computer for e-mail — and to bet on sports. That's it.

I recognize that that quote last week from Gail O'Day's commentary on John was long and had several scripture references. If you'd like to have copy of it please email me and I'd be happy to pass it along.
this week and last few weeks
This Sunday we will look at how Ezekiel looks forward to new creation engaging with the creation accounts in Genesis. I will be drawing together of a few things that we've talked about last few weeks.
I recognize that that quote last week from Gail O'Day's commentary on John was long and had several scripture references. If you'd like to have copy of it please email me and I'd be happy to pass it along.
I would guess that many of you are wondering about when we will get to Chasing Francis… it has been long enough.
As I mentioned before, both Rob and I felt that writing our own manifesto after reading the book would be an appropriate response. That isn't exactly what I'm suggesting we all do, at least not for the connection's worship service.
However, what we would like to do is invite people to share around the five ideas that Chase Falson, the main character of the story, shares in his manifesto: transcendence, community, beauty, dignity and meaning.
We were thinking that those who wanted to could share part of their experience of where these ideas are/could/should unfold(ing) in their lives and/or in the life of the connection community. It doesn't have to be tied to the book and it wouldn't have to be too long.
On October 19 I will teach around journeying. After that each week will be devoted to each one of the ideas.
October 26: transcendence
November 2: community
November 9: beauty
November 16: dignity
November 23: meaning
We envision this as a time that we can all share part of our journey to enrich journeying together as the connection.
Please let me (firstname.lastname@example.com) know if you are interested. (Also if you haven't read the book yet there are a few copies kicking around my office.)
the next few weeks...
The next few weeks we are going to look at how we worship, fellowship and enjoy life together. We decided to call this: Life Together: Coming Together – Going Out. This is an opportunity to for us to look at how we live out life as an intentional worshiping community. This relates to the time we spend together. Whether that be at the gathering time around the table on Sunday evening or throughout the week. These are times of intentionally coming together for community and fellowship, for Christian growth and mutual affirmation. The second part of our Christian life is the going out. We all find ourselves interacting with those outside of the connection community in the physical communities that we live in.
One of my favourite quotes, which I have used a couple times already, is from H. Richard Niebuhr's Christ and Culture:
The power and attraction Jesus Christ exercises over men never comes from him alone, but from him as Son of the Father. It comes from him in his Sonship in a double way, as man living to God and God living with men. Belief in him and loyalty to his cause involves men in the double movement from world to God and from God to world. Even when theologies fail to do justice to this fact, Christians living with Christ in their cultures are aware of it. For they are forever being challenged to abandon all things for the sake of God; and forever being sent back into the world to teach and practice all the things that have been commanded them.
This can be applied to how our community functions. The call to gather together, to build each other up, to be known in that community, is there as we long for Christian fellowship. But it is also the truth that as we join in this Christian fellowship we realize that the peace we find there should and must extend into the lives of those around us. It is the double call of coming together and the going out.
The gospel of Luke announces the gospel message – Jesus is Lord – and Acts outlines how the gospel message unfolds in the lives of the people who choose to live into the reality of that message. Acts is a book of the resurrection breaking forth. It begins with a time of wonderful amazement and newness that only the reversal of death could bring. It is a time of dreaming and dreams coming true. That is how we would like to frame this season. A time of dreaming of who we can be as an intentional gathering worshiping community and those who are sent out from that community into the communities we live in.
So we want to dream about what we could be as we come together and as we go out.
One way to create room for dreaming to happen is that in the response time on May 18th and May 25th we will leave time for you to dream, to dream on our own or to dream as a group. We will frame this time of dreaming in the teaching and then allow the Spirit to speak to us about how we can embrace the power of the resurrection in our coming together and our going out.
On Pentecost Sunday, June 8th, we will celebrate the giving of the spirit and this time of dreaming by sharing a potluck meal together and then sharing our dreams.
So let's dream together in this time of celebrating the resurrection!
the connection
May 2016

After weeks of teasing The Bobby Brown movie, the day has finally come! The movie comes on the success of The New Edition Story which premiered last year on BET and told the raw details (bar none) of the New Edition Group.
Since Bobby Brown was such an important part of the group and went on to have his own successes and downfalls, the network introduced a Bobby Brown Movie.
I don't know about anyone else, but it was a bit soft! I expected it to be as raw and hardcore as the New Edition Story but I was only able to get through the first 45 minutes of the premiere and had to rewatch the entire thing. There are a few life lessons we got as the takeaway from the movie and would like to share with you.
1. Always get up after a Fall
Imagine being the biggest superstar in the world, touring and having access to just about everything then being knocked right back down. After Bobby was voted out of the group he had to find a way to put pride aside and reach out to his previous record label to get back on his feet. This shows no matter how hard life gets and how many breaks you might take, you still have to get up after a fall.
2. Being Cocky is Different than being Confident
Ole Bobby sure was cocky! Being cocky is quite different from being confident in that a cocky person will have no regard or respect for anyone else. On so many occasions Bobby used his superstardom to step over everyone else to get what he wanted and didn't even flinch --he acted as if he was God's greatest gift to man and woman and did what he wanted when and how he wanted to. A confident person believes in themselves and respects people along the way.
3. Fewer Lovers = Less Problems
It always seemed like Bobby was on a downward spiral in the love department and was always getting someone pregnant even being engaged to Whitney Houston. Can you imagine how much of his money went to child support and court cases? Lawd! People, do what you want in your own time, but know that the fewer lovers you have the fewer problems you will have.
4. Cocaine is a hell of a Drug
We all know this and sadly when we think of Bobby Brown this is the first thing that comes to mind. Once you get involved in that stuff, you will get addicted! Poor Bobby was so hooked on the stuff that it made him miss his shows, was always angry and out of it and let down everyone around him, especially his mother! There was a scene where he was taking "hits" in his room and his Mom came in and she knew what he was doing and you could see the disappointment on her face. Stay away from drugs! It will mash up your career.
5. Sometimes love can kill You
There is always that one person we know is wrong for us but for whatever reason, we decide to keep them around. Both Bobby and Whitney were equally messed up people and had this strange love of dependency on each other and substances. They both loved each other so much they didn' realize they were slowly dying inside.
Let us know if you liked the Bobby Brown movie and if it lived up to the hype.
We have a small favor to ask. People are reading the Haute Lifestyle than ever since our recent placement in the South Florida Blogger Awards but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. We do not have investors and everything Blog related is funded out of pocket– we want to keep our journalism as fun and open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Our article takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective and voices matter – because it might well be your perspective, too.
If everyone who reads our posts, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure.

Institution Complaint Process
一道本不卡免费高清Mount Saint Mary's University (MSMU) strives to provide remarkable service to its students, in an environment conducive to learning and academic excellence. MSMU is committed to ensuring that all student complaints are resolved using a clear, fair and reliable process. The University treats complaints seriously and ensures all processes are clear, prompt, confidential and fair to all parties.
一道本不卡免费高清It is important to note that there is a difference between a complaint and an appeal.
- A complaint usually involves a concern, problem or issue alleging improper, unfair, or arbitrary treatment or it may involve issues of institutional or program quality.
- An appeal is the response one might take regarding a disciplinary measure which is deemed unfair or excessive; or dissatisfaction with a grade; or progression, probation, or dismissal from a program. Appeals are made through established university procedures.
Based on the principle of solidarity found in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, students are strongly encouraged to first attempt to address all concerns with the party involved, before going to anyone else. If the concern is not resolved at that point, then they should take it to the next administration level. For example, the next level up from a faculty member is the program director/department chair. If the issue is still not resolved, then they should take it to the next level after that, and so on. For example, if a student has an issue with one of their instructors, they should follow the process below:
When registering concerns or complaints, MSMU students must follow the appropriate procedures. If a student does not address their concern in the proper order, they will be sent back to start at the beginning. If a student has any question about the applicable procedure to follow for a particular complaint, the student should contact the appropriate Academic Dean: Lacey Smith firstname.lastname@example.com (Chalon), Dr. Pam Gist firstname.lastname@example.com (Doheny), Dr. Leah Fitzgerald email@example.com (Nursing), or Suzanne Williams email@example.com (WEC/Online); or, the appropriate Dean of Student Life: Laura Crow firstname.lastname@example.com (Chalon) or Jessica Cuevas firstname.lastname@example.com (Doheny/Sunset Gower).
Existing University Complaint Policies and Procedures
一道本不卡免费高清If a student has a complaint concerning any of the following matters, the student should follow the procedures outlined in each policy:
A. Athenian Promise – for complaints regarding student civility. If you feel a student has violated the , please contact the appropriate Dean of Student Life.
B. Sexual Misconduct / Compliance with Title IX – for complaints regarding sexual misconduct, harassment or discrimination.

Jamaica has been on a statue frenzy recently and that is, in itself, a good thing. Late last year there was the unveiling of the Usain Bolt statue at National Stadium and this will soon be followed, I gather, by the statue to Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (we were initially told this would take place some time this summer but, unless I missed something while traveling, only the maquette has thus far been unveiled.) Statues for Asafa Powell and Veronica Campbell-Brown are also being planned, all of them as part of the Jamaica 55 legacy projects. Earlier this summer, a group of National Heroes busts was unveiled at Emancipation Park, which was organized and funded by the Rotary Club with the blessings of government, and last year there was also the very contentious unveiling of a Garvey bust, the original of which replaced by another version, at the University of the West Indies Mona Campus. (I have written another blog post on Jamaica's public statue issues recently, and it can be read here.)
Most recently, on Friday, September 9, or the 89th birthday of the subject, a statue to Miss Lou was unveiled on Gordon Town Square. Let me first say how happy I am that this long-overdue project has finally come to fruition, and how excited I am that the statue was placed in the community where Miss Lou lived for most of her time in Jamaica, as her rootedness in community needed to be part of the recognition process. The placement of the statue in the middle of the square is fortuitous, although there are a few practical and aesthetic problems arising, and it is quite appropriate that Miss Lou is the one to welcome visitors to her community. So congrats and thanks (or should I say "tenky"?) to all who made it happen, the private and public individuals and the artist, and the many efforts that were made over the years.
As is now customary with any new public statue in Jamaica, the debate about its merits and failings almost immediately started and when we visited the statue to photograph it yesterday, several other persons were also seen taking pictures. So the statue is already making its mark and public opinion appears to be divided between those who absolutely love it, those who have a few reservations, and those who totally hate it. Most of it revolves, as usual, around whether the statue is an appropriate likeness but there are also concerns about the location (some would have preferred Emancipation Park), and about the politics that have surrounded its production and unveiling. It is not a major controversy at this time but there are definitely rumblings. I have a few reservations myself and thought I should share them here.

How much do you guys think the FPS should change from our summer to winter?
I know it's not full on winter yet, but this morning it was around 13C here at my place. In the summer at around 30C my rifle was shooting 79x fps.
Is this actually worth considering even? Would the POI be offset that much as to make a difference?

The newest tree in Hayes Valley's Patricia Green isn't exactly what you would expect. SQUARED, a LED sculpture from notable Bay Area artist Charles Gadeken, will be installed in the parklet on May 5th.
The sculpture has a fun history: it's been shown at Coachella Music Festival and Burning Man. The 50-foot tree is made up of 768 polyurethane apple-cubes that change colors thanks to the built-in adjustable LEDs.
"It represents a futuristic interpretation of nature thanks to the use of technology and all the materials we have available now, where all the fruits are replaced with plastic cubes that will light up in an array of colors and patterns. I like to call it a post-nature, post-human sculpture," says Gadeken. "I wanted to create a sculpture that was beautiful and, at the same time, was able to inspire people to think about the complexity and the unlimited possibilities that the future will hold for us," he added.
During Saturday's opening, Gadeken will perform with a group of musicians and the sculpture will change colors in tune to the sounds. Check it out at Patricia Green's on May 5th from 6–9pm.

Supporting maths teachers in encouraging children to share a passion for maths By Hannah McDowell Tuesday, June 24, 2014With the Internet making our lives easier than ever, are we losing basic numeracy skills? Linda Galligan, associate professor at the University of Southern Queensland, explores this phenomenon in a recent article for the Guardian: "At a time when we appear to need both a general population and a professional workforce to be highly numerate, the reverse appears to be happening. A recent report from the Australian mathematical sciences institute says that 54% of Australians have only basic numeracy skills, and that 40% of year 7-10 maths classes are taught without a qualified maths teacher. Today's maths is usually ratio, proportion and percentages with a big dollop of common sense and a bit of confidence. This is taught in primary school, but somewhere along the way many people just turn off their maths brain. When it comes to numbers, the shutters come up, the hands sweat, and it is just easier to ignore it. It's a far cry from the 1970s, when students would leave school having been taught at a high level. When was the last time you had to convert currency? Easier to Google it, right? What's the harm in that? I even do it sometimes. But if you seek help all the time, you'll never know how to do solve problems in other situations. So do the maths when you can: stop and think, turn your maths brain on, do the ratio (or percentage) and check to ensure you have done it right – and feel good about it! The method is the same all the time whether checking discounts, rates of pay, or time to get to a destination. We need more than primary maths, though. It's not just about being able to balance the budget, or ensure you have the right ratio of colour in your hair dye. There is another side to it. If I mention the word "algebra", many people start shaking. Students get lost in maths at two levels – at about year 5, when the idea of ratios is introduced, and again around year 8 when the maths starts to get abstract. It's such a pity, as this is when it gets really interesting. When I teach adult students algebra, they often say "oh, is that what it's all about. Why didn't teachers tell me about that when I was 14?". They probably did, but at 14 did you listen to your teachers? I certainly didn't most of the time. A deep understanding of basic maths only comes through practice. Nobody really has a maths brain; they just work on it. Over time, as I learned more about mathematics, I became less anxious with not understanding, with making mistakes, and with asking those dumb questions (turns out they weren't so dumb after all). That took many years. I would love more maths teachers to get that message across, particularly to girls, who can be more sensitive to setbacks. And if you work on it, then a whole world is open to you in terms of quantitative skills you can offer. If you are a parent, wouldn't you want your child (in primary or high school) being taught by a teacher who actually has a deep knowledge of the subject? Many teachers already do an amazing job at it, and we need to ensure that all teachers are in this position, particularly as this basic maths is everywhere: in art, in history, in science, and even in English. We need to support our teachers so they can do well – and to give them good, meaningful, well planned, ongoing, professional development in mathematics would be a good start." Are you passionate about maths and want your child to share in this? How can we support our maths teachers and help encourage children to take in interest in such an important subject? We'd love to hear your thoughts. Categories: Education

Fish for SaleSaturday, November 7, 2009 at 6:48 PM
Every weekend there's a street fair with vendors selling everything from flags to hardware items. It's a great way to get some exercise as you have lots of aisles to roam if you want to see everything. This metal fish was waiting for the right person to take him home.

I SUPPOSE IT IS not the most photogenic dinner — Cook mentioned the matter herself, serving the plates. But damn it was good. Our first tomatoes of the year, "heritage" red-black marbled tomatoes of some sort, simply sliced and salted. Mashed favas on toasts: we've had them before, recently, and we'll have them again. At six o'clock on the plate, half a raw carrot, a whitish one, sliced lengthwise as is proper.
And at the center, a scramble of eggs and Franco's green chorizo. I have no idea how he makes this. The base is pork, of course; added to it in addition to the usual spices, some sort of greening agent. I suspect vegetable matter, probably a good bit of cilantro. I don't think artificial colors are involved.
THAT WAS YESTERDAY. Tonight we had fish. Saturday is Farm Market day in Healdsburg, and one of the stalls, as Constant Reader will know, belongs to Dave the fish guy. I haven't seen Dave in months: he leaves the stall in his very capable daughter's custody and spends his time on his boat, fishing.
Today there was no salmon. There was flounder, though, and it was truly delicious. Cook simply dredged the fillets in a little flour and fried them in butter, good old bonne femme style, and garnished them with lemon.
Also on the plate, delicious Italian broad beans, also cooked in butter, and — they look familiar — mashed fava beans on toasts. Green salad afterward. There are few lucker diners than I.

My friend Anna Adams wrote a great Thanksgiving post on her site Ann'a Blog It made me feel nostalgic, remembering when I lived in the NE with all my cousins on my dad's side. We'd go to my Aunt Maryanne's house and all get together, just like what Anna wrote about.
Now, I'm in Texas. I still have family (Aunt, Uncle, and two Cousins with their respective spouses and children) in Massachusetts. And I have an Aunt and two cousins and their families down in Clearwater, Florida. At Thanksgiving, on alternate years we have a full house here - my brothers and their significant others, my nephew, my daughter, my mom and her partner, and of course me and my husband.
This year, our gathering will be quite smaller. My first Thanksgiving with my father in 16 years. But because it's an alternate year, my brother goes to his in-laws, along with my nephew. My other brother has plans, and my Mom and her partner are having the meal with her partner's daughter and husband. So it will just be four gathered around the table this year.
While I enjoy big gatherings, this year I will enjoy the smaller one too. Less pressure, more relaxed. I'm still cooking a bunch of food - that's what I do an what I enjoy. We'll parcel up leftovers and send them with my daughter and my father, as well as keep some back for us to enjoy.
I have a lot to be thankful for. I'm very glad that both my husband and I have good health. Sure, we've each had a few set backs along the way, but basically we're good. I'm thankful for our 25th anniversary - we made it 25 years!!! I'm thankful we are able to take a trip to celebrate that milestone. I'm thankful he loves me still and that I love him.
And my daughter. I'm thankful and proud of her. I enjoy hanging out with her and texting her and hearing about her adventures as a teacher. Ad of course I love her very much.
I'm thankful that for the past year, my mom has managed to keep her Pancreatic cancer at bay. So far, the Chemo has worked and it's still confined to her pancreas. I'm glad we get to celebrate another Christmas with her and her partner.
Oh, and I can't forget the dogs. Mitchell Thomas, Mac Macadoo, and Liberty Belle. I adore my fur-children and love that I get to spend all day with them sleeping in my office while I work.
So there you have it. My list. What's yours? Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey, you! Just saw this post. As I may have mentioned before, I'm thankful for your friendship, and so glad we've managed to stay in touch. I still miss those Thursdays at Starbuck's!
I'm also thankful for my beloved, who's making a sweet potato souffle as we speak, and my girl, who's making the most of online shopping, and my brother-in-law, who's catching up on a little snooze time.
I'm thankful for another Thanksgiving! ;-)

The UK government's Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) has partnered with The Accelerator Network to host a three-day hackathon, which will see 50 of the brightest cyber-security students from leading universities tackle the critical security issues facing the businesses and national infrastructure providers of today.
The event takes place in June and will pool talent from the UK's thirteen universities, which have been identified as Academic Centres of Excellence in cyber-security research.
Participants will work together on ideas designed to tackle common and complex cyber-security issues, and will receive tutorials and expert advice from The Accelerator Network.Mentoring, tutorials and expert advice will be on hand for the duration, encouraging contributors to develop commercial applications to real-life security problems. The hackathon will culminate in a pitch event, for which teams will present their developments to an audience of partners, industry leaders and investors.
Ian Merricks, chair of The Accelerator Network, which will deliver the hackathon, said: "Cyber-security is the number one threat facing UK businesses and critical infrastructure providers. The real issue is that countermeasures are often developed by large teams bound by out-dated organisational structures, whereas attackers work together in disparate more flexible collectives.
"We hope this event will help create a more informal ideas-driven approach to problem solving. The Accelerator Network is delighted to be working with BIS to deliver such an event."
Ed Vaizey, minister for the Digital Economy, said, "Protecting and promoting the UK's digital economy is a key part of the government's long-term economic plan, so it's crucial we have the skills to do this now and in the future.
"I'm pleased that the Department for Business is supporting the Agile Innovation hackathon, which will be a fantastic way of developing new talent and ensuring government and industry can tackle the cyber-security challenges of the future."

System Checks & Inspections
To ensure optimal safety and compliance with boating regulations, inspections to see whether proper Coast Guard-approved life jackets, fire extinguishers, muffling systems, ventilation systems, engines and generator checks, backfire flame control devices, as well as a written inspection report with recommended repairs can all be done upon request.
California Boat Regulations
In the state of California, in order to operate a boat, one must be 16 years of age or older and have a California Boater Card to legally operate a water vessel with 15hp motor or more. Persons aged 12 to 15 may operate a vessel if supervised on board with someone who is 16 years of age or older and holds a California Boater Card.
There is no age restriction for operating a sailboat sized under 30 feet long with wind as a main source of propulsion or a dinghy used between a moored vessel and shore or between two moored vessels.
Recreational vessels must carry specified safety equipment, which may vary depending on types of propulsion and construction, area and time of use, and number of people on board. All required equipment must be:
On sailboats and manually propelled vessels, the following are required equipments. Life Jackets: Sailboats less than 16 feet in length and all canoes and kayaks, regardless of length, must carry one wearable Coast Guard-approved life jacket of a type and size appropriate for the conditions and the boating activity being engaged in for each person on board. Life jackets must be easily accessible and fit the wearer properly.
Navigation Lights: All vessels are required to display navigation lights between sunset and sunrise and during times of restricted visibility. In inland and international waters, sailing vessels under sail alone must exhibit navigation lights. The tricolored lantern and the all-around green and red lights should never be used together. A sailing vessel of less than 23 feet in length must, if practicable, exhibit those lights prescribed or have ready at hand an electric torch or lighted lantern showing a white light which shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision. A vessel under oars may display those lights prescribed for sailing vessels or have ready at hand an electric torch or lighted lantern showing a white light which shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision.
Sound Signaling Devices: A vessel of less than 39 feet 4 inches is not required to carry a whistle or bell, but must carry some other means of making an efficient sound signal.
Visual Distress Signals (Coastal Waters Only): Boats under 16 feet and sailboats under 26 feet that are manually propelled, and boats competing in an organized marine parade, regatta, race, or similar event are only required to carry aboard devices that are suitable for night use.
On motoboats less than 16 feet to less than 26 feet in length, the required equipment are:
On motoboats 26 feet to less than 40 feet in length, the required equipment are:
On motoboats less than 40 feet to 65 feet in length, the required equipment are:
Life Jackets and Flotation Devices: All life jackets and flotation devices must be used in accordance with the Coast Guard approval statement for intended use.
Underwater Maneuvering Devices: Use of an underwater maneuvering device exempts a person from wearing a life jacket. Any towed or self-powered apparatus designed for underwater use that someone can pilot through diving, turning, and surfacing maneuvers is an underwater maneuvering device.
Fire Extinguishers: Coast Guard-approved readily accessible fire extinguishers accepted for marine use are required on all motorboats. The size the number of extinguishers accepted depend on the size of the boat and whether a fixed extinguishing system is already installed on the boat.
Muffling Systems: Any motorboat operated on California inland waters or coastal waters to one mile from shore must be muffled or otherwise prevented from exceeding certain noise levels when measured by the Stationary Sould level Measurement. 90 dB (A) for engines manufactured before 1/1/1993 and 88dB (A) for engines manufactured on or after 1/1/1993. All motorboat noise must be below 75 dB (A) when measured by the Shoreline Sound Level Measurement Procedure (SEA J1970). Authorities generally agree that unbaffled pipes (stacks) do not meet any of the above noise level requirements.
Ventilation Systems: All motorboats made aftr 1940, except open boats, and using gasoline as a fuel must have at least two ventilator ducts fitted with cowls or their equivalent for the efficient removal of explosive or flammable gases from all engine and fuel tank compartment bilges. If engine and fuel talk compartments are closed and separated, two such ventillation systems are required.
Two-Stroke Engines: There is no prohibition on the use of high emission two-stroke vessel engines and there is no plan to prohibit them in the state of California. Some cities, counties, or districts have adopted ordinances on the use of high emission, carbureted or electronic fuel injection (EF) two-strone marine engines, so it is best to check.
Backfire Flame Control Devices: Vessels with gasoline engines must have at least one backfire flame control device installed on the engine. Outboard motors are exempt.
Running Lights: It is against the law to operate a boat without lights after sunset. There are no restrictions during daylight hours. All vessels must show required running lights between sunset and sunrise and during periods of restricted visibility.
Anchor Lights: Power-driven vessels and sailing vessels at anchor must display anchor lights where it can best be seen and is visible for two miles.
Visual Distress-Signaling Devices: Boats operating on coastal waters must carry Coast Guard-approved required number of visual distress-signaling devices that are readily accessible and in serviceable condition.
Marine Sanitation Devices: Not all vessels are required to have a marine toilet on board, however, if a vessel has one, that it must be connected to a Coast Gurd-approved Type I, II, or III marine sanitation device (MSD). Dumping sewage into waters is prohited by both Federal and State laws and doing so is considered a misdeanor.
Green Boating Guidelines
Boater Reponsibility: Laws alone cannot protect California's environment. Every boater must take responsibility for preventing pollution and minimize the environmental and public health impacts from boating activities.
Boat Maintenance: Because chemicals used in cleaning solutions used for decks and hulls can be toxic, proper care and maintenance must be executed to prevent polluting the waters and environement. Greener alternatives that are water-based, biodegradable, phoshate-free, and/or less toxic should be strongly considered. Proper handling of oil and gasoline, which are toxic due to hydrocarbons and heavy metals, should be managed. Prevent toxic oily bilge from being pumped overboard by keeping all hardware clean and well-maintained. Federal law requires all boats 26 feet or longer to display an Oily Waste Discharge Placard in the engine compartment or near the fuel tank. Boaters can also help prevent the introduction and spead of non-native aquatic invasive species from one body of water to another by cleaning, draining, and drying the boat frequently and carefully cleaning all areas of the boat and dosposing of hazardous waste and trash properly.
Federal law now requires all boats 26 feet or more in length, when operating in waters under U.S. jurisdiction, to display an informational placard on federal marine pollution prevention laws. You must display the required placard detailing these prohibitions in a prominent location where passengers and crew can read it. Water from onboard sinks, washers and showers is called graywater, which is discharged directly into the water without treatment. Graywater is often full of phosphates that pollute the water and encourage the growth of unwanted algae. The discharge of graywater is prohibited in some harbors and marinas. Always practice proper fish-cleaning methods and proper disposal of fish wastes.Use fish cleaning stations with trash receptacles and wastewater hookups. All U.S. vessels 40 feet or more in length and equipped with a galley and berthing must carry a written Waste Management Plan if the vessel operates beyond three miles from shore.
In 2012, California became a leader in ocean conservation by completing the first statewide network of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the United States. Today 124 MPAs stretch along the entire coast between the borders of Oregon and Mexico. These areas are closed to all watercraft in an effort to minimize wildlife disturbance.
Because there are several environmental hazards associated with old vessels, including used oil, solvents and used batteries, it is important that you properly dispose of your vessel at the appropriate time.
