AC Maintenance Checklist
With warm weather just around the corner in the St. Louis area, it is important to make sure your air conditioning system is ready for the heat. Without proper maintenance, your air conditioner may not provide the cooling performance you require, it may cost more to operate, or it may suffer component failures and breakdowns. Simple maintenance can prevent many AC problems and here are some of the most important steps you can take:
Before the Cooling Season Begins
- Replace your air filter – A new, high-efficiency air filter can remove contaminants like dust and pollen from your household air, making it healthier, while protecting your air conditioning system from damage.
- Clean the outdoor unit – Remove leaves, twigs, and debris from the top and sides of the outdoor condenser unit. With the power off, carefully rinses away any remaining dirt from the condenser coils with a garden hose. This will improve the efficiency of your AC unit, helping it to remove heat from your home easier.
- Clean around the condenser unit – Cut the grass and remove any debris within two feet of the condenser unit to promote better airflow over the coils.
Every Month During the Summer
- Check your air filter – Check the air filter monthly and replace it when it has accumulated excessive dirt and debris. Most air filters must be replaced at least every three months, but they can clog more frequently.
- Inspect refrigerant lines – Make sure there is no damaged insulation, leaks, or frost buildup on any of your refrigerant lines. If you find a problem, call your HVAC contractor.
- Clean the condensate drain – A clogged condensate drain can increase humidity in your home and encourage bacterial growth. Use a bleach solution to clean the drain monthly, and use a vacuum, compressed air, or a wire to clear any clogs.
Once or Twice a Year
- Make sure your condenser is secure – Check the outdoor condenser unit to make sure it is clean, level, and firmly secured to its concrete pad.
- Replace thermostat batteries – If you have a battery-powered programmable thermostat, replace the batteries at least once a year. It is also a good idea to replace the batteries on smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors at the same time.
- Schedule professional maintenance – An HVAC professional should inspect and maintain your air conditioning system twice a year. A typical AC maintenance visit will include cleaning the coils, cleaning the air handler, lubricating bearings and pulleys, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting the electrical system, testing disconnects, measuring airflow, testing start capacitors, testing relays, and measuring compressor, blower motor, and condenser fan current. Proper maintenance can extend the life of your system, reduce cooling costs, and improve your comfort.

Hi all,
I am so honored to be the STAR of the Month in June! At the beginning of this year I started university with my second choice study, but this year couldn't be better! I applied to become active at STAR and got chosen to be one of the marketers of the Marketing Team.
When I started in the Marketing Team I was unfamiliar with both STAR and Rotterdam. I have been in Rotterdam a couple of times before, but most of the times I visited the shopping areas… So after the Eurekaweek I decided to join STAR as an active member, luckily I got chosen and my adventure could start.
As the Marketing Team of STAR we do some different things. We check every poster that is made by one of the committees, we help Liselotte, who is the Brand Manager of STAR, with promoting STAR and of course we have to make the most amazing yearbook for all the active members.
Throughout the year we had three promotion gifts. We have given you some tasty "stroopwafels", some lovely valentine peppermints and last but not least some stress releasing stress balls! It was so nice to see how much you enjoyed the gifts (yes, I know we are in the Netherlands where everybody loves free stuff). Some of us came across the Valentines peppermints in some clubs in Rotterdam!!
As I am writing this we have just finished writing the yearbook!! A few months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears went in there… We had to change the design a couple of times, we had to ask everybody over and over again to deliver their input (sorry guys for stalking you so much) and we had to dig for some juicy gossip (unfortunately, nobody really wanted to gossip with us…). After finishing the yearbook, I can really say I am super proud of it and I honestly think we made a yearbook that will make sure nobody will ever forget this year! Even though nobody but the marketing team and Liselotte have seen the yearbook, it will be exciting to see and hear everybody's reaction on it!
After this year, I can definitely say that I learned a lot at STAR! I have learned that working in a team for almost a year is harder than I thought, especially when you are working with very different people. Besides that, I have learned how to give and receive feedback. It sounds so easy, but it is important to accept and use the feedback someone gives you and that is harder for me than I thought!
After all what we did this year and everything that has happened, I am really happy that I joined STAR! I made some friends for life, I learned a lot, personally and professionally, and I got to discover Rotterdam better than just the shopping areas!
If you have any questions about the Marketing Team or about STAR, please don't hesitate to contact me and ask!

Our blood donor program helps to ensure that we have a sufficient supply of canine and feline blood products for our patients.
Dr. Kyes along with hospital technician, Becky Millett, started the canine donor program in January 2010 due to a significant shortage of blood products. This is an invaluable service and we are always looking for canine donors. Every donation can help to save a life.
Your dog:
– Must be greater than 50 lbs.
– Must be between 1-8 years old
– Must have a docile temperament
– Must not have a history of blood transfusions
– Should be in good health and free of any disease
If your dog becomes a blood donor they will receive the following:
– Blood work
– Fecal floatation
– Heartworm and tick testing
– Blood typing
If your dog's health screen is normal, your dog will officially enter the blood donor program. Your pet can potentially donate every 3 months (4 times a year). Donations take less than 30 minutes, generally do not require any sedation and you can stay with your pet during the donation.
We currently have several cats living at the hospital who provide blood for critically ill cats. After 3 years these cats are available for adoption. Please let us know if you are interested in adopting a donor cat.
For more information on our Blood Donor program, please contact us at (905) 829-9444 or email the Blood Donor program at email@example.com
"Every donation can help to save a life."

"Adopting our sweet Beau has been like having the chance to open up a special gift every day. He is so loyal, absolutely charming and so loving. Having Moose in our lives has been an incredible blessing too. He is so loving and funny. They both, quite simply, fill our hearts. We are so grateful to Henry's House for giving us the opportunity and privilege of adopting both of our amazing donor boys. It is a real honour to share our home and our lives with our little 'heroes'."

The Militarization of the Internet

I don't think it is about declaring "war". After all that is a congressional decision which is why nobody does it.
The key question is state vs. non-state. China, Russia etc have the ability to project power via non-state actors. Does the US? No.
Natanael L • October 29, 2010 7:27 AM
This isn't so much related to the article you linked to, but I want to ask what you think about the security of this:
Chris • October 29, 2010 7:47 AM
Humans have militarized every physical and virtual domain they have encountered -- land, sea, air, space, and now cyberspace -- it is species-specific behavior and won't stop. The US has promoted militarization and responded to it in a consistent fashion throughout the historical eye-blink of its national existence -- isolationist, then sub-rosa activist, then activist, and periodic leader. What has modulated this behavior is US political will. Where there was a will, no matter how delayed and perhaps inconstant, the country protected its interests, but usually at a steeper price than need have been paid. Does the US have the will for this round? Can (not will, this time) it pay the price? I've my doubts.
Ben • October 29, 2010 7:47 AM
This is the exact same pattern that was used to drive creation of the US Cyber Command over the past few years. Each year the rhetoric was ratcheted up a notch until they finally got what they wanted. The general population does not understand the Internet or the concept of cyberwar, and thus are easily manipulated through FUD. The mainstream media seems to be no better.
Jack • October 29, 2010 7:52 AM
iTwin is like Pogoplug.
BF Skinner • October 29, 2010 8:19 AM
@charlie "Does the US? No."
Uh. Yeah we do. Bay of Pigs Invasion, In El Salvador supporting forces against the FMLN, the Contra's, UNITA, the mujahedin, possible support to Jundallah but we've denied that. And these are what we know of.
It's what CIA's SOG does. And there are reports they are adding cyberspace to their operations portfolio (but duh.)
Arkh • October 29, 2010 8:45 AM
"Given all this, aren't nations entitled to fear the consequences of a "free and open" internet?"
Emphasis on nations. No, nations are nothing, nations are not something sentient. Nations are just a concept.
People are relevant.
And they have a lot more to gain from free and open internet than they have to lose, as the last couple of decades has shown us.
Brandioch Conner • October 29, 2010 9:55 AM
The best part is this.
"Should law enforcement be able to require all technologies online to have "back doors" allowing officials to (essentially) require that the same information be produced to them that was produced during the circuit-switched telephone era?"
Now, what would happen should ALL of the FUD be realized?
Chinese agents cracking law enforcement's back-doors into your communications with your bank. But able to blame it on the Israelis.
Trichinosis USA • October 29, 2010 11:07 AM
Guess now we're finding out what all those "reserved for future use" spots in the IP header bitmask are for... Stallings, "Handbook of Computer Communications Standards", Vol 3, page 47.
Shane • October 29, 2010 11:54 AM
For all the good fringe blogging ever seems to do, we might as well print all of our best arguments for privacy onto on thousands of rolls of toilet paper, and distribute them to the cleaning crews at the capital. That way, our legislative bodies can at least read up on all the freedoms they're flushing down the toilet *while* they're wiping their assess with them.
We really just have to stop voting these idiots into office in the first place.
Shane • October 29, 2010 12:04 PM
How ironic that lately there is so much talk about the constitution, the declaration, our founding fathers, the bill of rights, et al... yet for all the warnings even a nearly illiterate citizen can plainly see in our founding documents, we might as well be giving them all a great big middle finger when it comes to protecting what so many Americans gave their lives to instill some 230-odd years ago.
All thanks to the conveniences of technology, and the masses' ignorance thereof. Well, that mixed with a few sprinkles of 'boogey-man' powder to spice it up a bit.
Davi Ottenheimer • October 29, 2010 12:25 PM
I'm at first reminded of the NSA project to fingerprint attacks to ensure retribution is properly targeted. This is like an interim step. Authentication is not required for all if accurate targeting can be developed. On the other hand the conventional weapon accurate targeting systems seem to be less than perfect so it's hard to imagine something better will emerge in IT.
I'm second reminded of the Dutch Police who not only took over control of a botnet this week but then used the handy "back door" it gave them to modify computers without authorization to alert the victims.
@ charlie
Wow, really. The US is of course projecting power through non-state actors. Why in the world would you think it would not?
9-11 • October 29, 2010 1:39 PM
The blog has a good point in the beginning:
Someone needs to take a good hard look at those Internet surveillance stories being strategically placed on the front page of the New York Times.
Sometimes the stories are not strategically in the best locations, but people SHOULD pay attention to what kind of stories they are being offered in the newspapers. Because whether the stories are REALLY true or not, they are often portrayed as such, and with enough stories comes a change in mentality in the believing population.
What are the factors that then cause a person to believe in the stories? One major factor is trust. If the reader thinks that "my government [or people here in my land] would never [say or do something bad]" they will be less willing to question what has been told.
Clive Robinson • October 29, 2010 1:58 PM
Not being funny but Militarization is an old fashioned concept, it goes back to the time of full time paid militia acting as a standing defence of a Nations integrity.
People tack the word Cyber on the front of exisiting words in the hope of transfering some meaning to others. In reality mostly what it does is to confuse ordinary mortals and most definatly persons of a purely Political bent.
First off the Internet does not unlike a plot of land have physical boarders. What it does have in some places are "choke points". However these are one heck of a sight more difficult to maintain than borders are.
The Internet is not tangable in that it does not really have a physical actuality the addresses of it's data sources and sinks have no physical location constraints and can be moved almost at will. The only physical part is simply a vast collection of communications channels, relays and switches that move the almost ephemeral data around.
Thus anybody can change the intangable internet topology at any time simply by plugging another relay in between any two points of their chosing, or by changing a single entry in a router table, with care it will go undetected almost indefinatly.
The point needs making that unlike the physical world the Internet is a world of information that is effectivly unconstrained by energy costs to an attacker. Thus as a conciquence a single person can have with a modicum of skill an effectivly infinate force multiplier and can raise and control a hugh array of attacking automata that can pass almost undetected for months (think Stunex and other APT ideas).
Again unlike the physical world the Internet currently does not have a realistic distance cost metric. That is all places are effectivly local to each other.
Because of this even "choke points" do not represent any realistic limitation to an attacker. Likewise neither does the "big off switch" idea have any credability.
For instance I can place a malware seed in any location either by time delay or by providing my own comms bridge to the other side of the any "choke point" any athority is likely to put in place.
With any large or public network you are deluding yourself when it comes to "access security" by "physical measure" it almost always can be trivialy negated and as such just cann't be made to work.
People need to remember that working around faults of all kinds was one of the original design requirments and is very much "built in" to the protocols the Internet works on.
Then when you consider what vectors are available it is apparent the OS has been a major source of vectors (less so currently). Basicaly when it comes to OS security we talk a good game but... lets be honest Stunex had atleast four zero days and a stolen signing certificate. As has been said in a song about a goat that head butted a dam "he had high hopes" and "opps there goes another...."
Yes we do know how to make things more secure BUT it's the weakest links that generaly defines the strength of the overal chain, and we all know or aware of a great number of "failed to patch" or "can't patch systems directly or indirectly connected to the Internet...
Thus personaly I will not be holding my breath over this Militarization idea acheiving anything helpful. But who knows maybe a rabbit can magicaly appear in a hat, rather than just giving the illusion it has.
bob (the original bob) • October 29, 2010 3:09 PM
Shouldnt it be more like "RE-militarization" or "escalation" since the internet was created for military purposes in the first place? (granted they were "electronic support measures" rather than "electronic counter-measures" back then.)
Brad Wheeler • October 29, 2010 4:31 PM
This is becoming a familiar story, and I think that Bruce himself frames the problem excellently in his post to his TEDx speech - here we have an agent (the government) with an agenda (securing the United States against attack), which is able to exploit the fact that people's feelings (that we're under serious threat by foreigners, especially the tech-savvy Chinese) and their models (a reporting bias in the media leads to over-reporting of successful and spectacular web hacks) are pretty similar. So naturally, they're not interested in revealing that the reality is that "cyberwar" as a concept is seriously problematic, and even if it wasn't, the massive invasion of our privacy that certain government officials are proposing is arguably not the best way to conduct it.

the bill of rights, et al... we might as well be giving them all a great big middle finger when it comes to protecting what so many Americans gave their lives to instill some 230-odd years ago. - end quote.
The Bill of Rights means nothing. It isn't even a contract and it was pushed in secrecy behind closed doors without any consent by any citizen. Thus it doesn't even have legal binding, because a bill signed 230 years ago (by and for people who are all dead now) cannot bind anyone living here and now. Imagine you create a contract to which your great great grandchildren must obey in the future for thousands of years, sounds feasible? Not to me it is. We The People actually meant: "We the people, living 230 years ago". Read up on Lysander Spooner for more gems.
James • October 29, 2010 7:59 PM
What I find interesting in the discussion that the origins of the internet are in DARPA, i.e the DoD. This is the military. I'm not saying they should "take it back" because that's not possible, but it's interesting how they're going back to trying to get what they supported in the first place.
Imperfect Citizen • October 30, 2010 12:32 PM
I can't understand why they don't take more time to audit the data and clean up the observations if they don't want people to blog about them.
PC.Tech • October 30, 2010 2:40 PM
There will be little or NO support (from those who PAID for it originally) for a "kill switch" or "militarization" of the Web. The rest is blather.
Dave Funk • November 1, 2010 1:23 PM
Actually, the bill of rights was discussed extensively in the open. Accounts from the period suggest that it was a subject heavily debated with people on both sides of the argument. The bill of rights was drafted and passed by representatives elected by the population at large (admittedly missing several important segments of the population, but by the standards of the time, very inclusive.) How is it, pray tell, that just because the signers of the bill are all dead, that nullifies the bill. At what point is such a bill nullified. On the death of the first signer, the second, the forty-second, the last? based on what logic? Must your great great great grand childern, thousands of years later (actually that would only be about a hundred years, but I get your point) abide by such a rule. Well, yes and no. No, because any of the following generations could change it using the same procedures as were used to initiate the bill (or by war). Failing these remedies, yes they would be bound. Do you find these concepts mean, cruel, unfair? What is the alternative? Where has such an alternative worked on a community of any scale that included voluntary and non-voluntary members (i.e. a country)? If you like natural law, who gets to decide if something is in violation of only man-made laws (i.e. is not illegal)? At that time, would it not become man-made law? Could I guess it would be OK if it were Obama, but not OK if it were Bush deciding? If you like anarchy, who protects the innocent weak in an anarchy? Under anarchy or natural law, who decides when the actions of a group to protect one individual or group from another is legal or illegal? This sounds feasable to you? The bill of rights was an attempt to put natural law into writting. Not perfect, but... where has the ordering of society been done better, again a country (more than 2 or 3 million persons) with a history of more than fifty years. Is any large complex society automatically invalid? Or is a society invalid be virtue of living more than fifty years? What is the option? Revolution every fifty years or so? Kill off the old people? Once a society is successful and grows split it because it is too successful?
Mr. Spooner had some wonderful ideas. I had most of the same ideas when I was sixteen. So did Mr. Washington and Mr. Jefferson. Fortunately as they grew up, they had some ideas about how to make those ideas work in an imperfect world. Had they not, Mr. Spooner's ideas would have been forgotten by now. His ideas were made possible by Jefferson et. al. not the other way around.
Learn your history. It ends much better than you think.
If bills were only binding to the generation that signed them, the US debt would be a lot easier to solve.

Contractors & Unions See Strong Growth on Horizon, But Labor Shortages Continue to Weigh on Industry
ARLINGTON, VA - Strong, stable growth. That's what union contractors, labor representatives and owner-clients project for 2019, even though craft labor shortages remain a problem for the union construction and maintenance industry.
This somewhat contradictory assessment - the best of times for business growth, the worst of times for finding qualified workers - is one of the key takeaways from the fifth annual Union Craft Labor Supply Study, recently released by The Association of Union Constructors (TAUC) in conjunction with the Construction Labor Research Council (CLRC). It is designed to give construction professionals an in-depth understanding of the current state of union labor supply in the construction and maintenance industry throughout the United States.
TAUC and CLRC utilized a rigorous scientific methodology to analyze more than 800 responses to a multi-question survey sent earlier this year to a cross-section of contractors, union representatives and owner-clients. The large sample size (an 8% increase over last year's survey) and carefully worded questions combine to make this one of the most useful labor supply reports available, and the only union-specific study focusing on construction and maintenance.
New to the study this year is an examination of two key issues: the impact of union craft labor availability on the bidding process, as well as how each of the 14 building trades unions affect it. Our goal is to provide the industry with an even more robust set of metrics.
TAUC and its partners in labor believe that a data-driven approach is the only way to achieve our shared goals of planning for the future and increasing union market share. Highlights of the study include:
Positive, Stable Growth Projections. Over three-fourths (76%) of the study participants project growth for 2019 in the construction and maintenance industry. This is up significantly from three years ago (58%) and down slightly from last year (78%). Union/labor representatives were the most optimistic about growth, while owner-clients were less sanguine. The civil industry was seen as having the strongest growth prospects, while the utility industry had the weakest outlook. In terms of geography, the New England, Middle Atlantic and Southeast regions were seen by respondents as having the strongest possibilities for business growth.
Shortage of Union Craft Labor Continues. Of those organizations reporting a labor shortage, the majority (54%) described the shortage as small, and only 15% reported a large shortage. About a third (31%) said they had either a surplus or the right number of union workers in their organization. Boilermakers, Carpenters & Millwrights, Heat & Frost Insulators and Iron Workers reported the most substantial shortages.
Impact of Labor Availability. Forty-four percent of contractors, subcontractors and construction managers said they did not bid on some work due to a shortage of union craft workers in their organization. The crafts impacting this the most were Electricians, followed by Plumbers, Pipefitters & Steamfitters, Iron Workers and Carpenters & Millwrights.

The hot wind continued to blow yesterday, so I continued with bringing down more hung up trees (the not so threatening ones), though they were still challenging trees to bring down safely. Ian arrived in the late afternoon with some oak for the bathroom and I headed over to his to help unload his wood and stay for supper.
Overnight some wet weather has arrived, so today I cracked on with plasterboarding the bathroom and plastering the joints. I managed to get the first first of the oak in place (the window board) but the continuing rain called a halt to proceeding before I could do the window and door reveals (I have to cut and plane the timber outside).
Sandrine and John over for Dinner tonight.

In 1938 a physicist called Frank Benford wrote a paper about something that he had noticed concerning collections of numbers.
These data sets were real life situations and were surprisingly diverse ranging from bills, to populations, to death rates. Being a physicist Benford captured the law mathematically
But it is best understood by considering the numbers in base 10 ie digits 1 through to 9, and drawing out the probability of finding each digit as the first digit of any number in one of the real life data sets that Benford considered. The result is:
Hence, if you study one of the relevant data sets you find that 1 is the first digit approximately 30% of the time and 9 about 5% of the time. The phenomenon had been noticed some years earlier in 1881 by a Canadian mathematician called Simon Newcombe but Benford was the one who did a lot of work that the law held good across a wide variety of data types, and so the law bears his name.
Whilst Benford's law was empirically derived it can be mathematically proved that it applies exactly to a whole range of naturally occurring number such as the are the Fibonacci numbers, the factorials, the powers of 2, and the powers of almost any other number for that matter.
Plus it can be shown to apply to numbers in other bases such as base 16. As late as 1995 a mathematician called Theodore Hill published a paper that showed that the law could be generalized to apply not just to the first but to any digit within a number.
Hence, the probability that d (d = 0, 1, ..., 9) is encountered as the n-th (n > 1) digit is:
Very interesting if you are a student mathematics and its use in modeling the world in which we live, but one might think that is as far as its usefulness goes. Not so.
As far back as 1972 an economist called Hal Varian (now working for Google) suggested that one could use Benford's law to differentiate between social-economic data had been manufactured or was derived from real life situations.
And suddenly the light bulb went on. Why could Benford's law not be applied to detect fraud in a range of data sets such as tax returns or electoral fraud? Extensive tests showed that Benford's law could, within certain limitations, give a reliable indication of fraud within data sets. To this day evidence based upon Benford's law is admissible in most US courts.
All of which brings us to the present day when we are presented with the ever increasing volumes of data that enter our lives electronically. The Internet now holds over a zettabyte of data and we are constantly having to make judgments about whether to trust that data.
It might be as simple as whether an image has been altered right through to whether large statistical datasets should be used to make a critical business decision. Which makes me ask if there is not some way to apply Benford's law, and its generalized forms, to help us decide whether or not we can trust some electronic data we may be about to rely upon.
Trust is such a fundamental aspect of how we use the Internet that at the very least this is an area that is worthy of more research.

#140 Plan Your Wedding In 90 Days
May 1st, 2019
57 mins 9 secs
About this Episode
It's possible! Some people prefer to plan their wedding in a short amount of time rather than musing over all of the details for a year or more. Who are these people? How do they do it? What makes them successful? Our guest today is David DiVincenzo - event director at Planterra Events in Detroit, and he is very experienced working with couples that opt for a short timeline - for various reasons. He's breaking down all of the tips, tricks and best practices for us.
Here's the bio:
David has been directing events for Planterra clients since 2010. He designs every aspect of a Planterra event – from its menu to décor, floral needs and every detail in between - to make his clients' visions come to life. David brings with him 15 years of professional experience in arts fundraising, programming and event planning. He has worked at such prestigious places as Pace MacGill Gallery, the Noguchi Museum and one of Estee Lauder's family foundations in New York. David is a graduate of both Albion College and Brooklyn College. He also attended the Atelier Léo Marchutz in Aix-en-Provence, France. In his free time, David has developed a deep understanding of wine and art. He's also Planterra Conservatory resident pop culture expert.
Big Takeaways
TIPS and TRICKS for short term wedding planning:
· Choose a full-service venue (like Planterra!) If not...definitely hire a planner! And then trust the planner.
· Be ready to make decisions quickly
· Consider a Friday or Sunday date
· Have your guest list in order
· Consider invitation needs immediately
· Have or be prepared to choose your wedding attire
· Be open to exploring multiple options in terms of photographers, DJ's etc. Your first- choice vendor may be booked. Also trust your venue for additional vendor recommendations. Ask them to make introductions for you by email or telephone
· Make sure that the funds for the wedding are in place and accessible. You may have significantly larger retainers when booking with 90 days of a wedding date and your payment schedule is accelerated.
· Embrace that you are planning a wedding in a shorter period of time. Be open to some of the wonderful, more spontaneous aspects of planning this way and NEVER dwell on something you "might have had" – be it a Saturday, a certain vendor, or anything else, had you planned 2 years out!
If you are considering planning a wedding in a short amount of time - ask yourself (honestly) - are you, as a couple, decisive? On the same page about your wedding day vision? Ready to jump in and get shit done? Do you think you have a pretty good gut instinct and feel confident leaning on that? These are the qualities you need to have!
More to keep in mind: It helps a lot when you trust the vendors. Be flexible and ready to compromise when necessary. Trusting and choosing the right wedding planner. Choosing a venue that offers a full range of services.
Time Saving Guidelines:
Create digital Save the Dates to send immediately
Offer a digital RSVP to save time for attendees
Depending on the services offered by a venue, hiring a wedding planner can be key in making wonderful things happen in shorter timeframe.
Instead of menu options, duets entrees can save time and streamline the RSVP process
Be prepared for multi-tasking meetings with the venue and vendors
Have your questions set in advance and be ready to move forward with decision-making and planning efficiently. You can consolidate meetings and work with vendors to move quickly.
No hemming and hawing about options and choices. You know what you want! Go for it!

"Here's how I think we can make this work: and we went through some of the big picture ideas. Are they ready for it? Are they ready to make real decisions? Can they really pull their guestlist together? How OPEN are they to this experience? They were the perfect couple for this. And they were like - yes, whatever we need to make this wedding happen on this date...we'll do it. We made it happen." - David, on the couple that can pull a 90 day planning period off
"To do this, you need that rare combination of knowing what you want, but also being flexible." Christy, in a nutshell
"I think the hemming and hawing can take up so much time and space with wedding planning and it's really not necessary." - Michelle
"If you want to plan your wedding on the quick - for whatever reason - ask yourself...do you have a full time job? Do you have the TIME to plan a wedding in three months? Remember, you still have a real life." - Christy

Sure, it's just two and half weeks into the preseason. But there are some things I think I know. The roster and the starting lineup are two of them. Injuries and solid performances are making things clearer from a who starts and who are the reserves standpoint.
But beyond that it gets muddier.
There are many players deserving of ample playing time, but not everyone will get it. This won't be a repeat of the last couple of seasons that sometimes saw 10 or more players play in a half on a regular basis, which led to confusion and consternation. So, taking a stab at this: Read more…

Though there are numerous car mechanics scattered all over Horley for you to choose from, make sure that the one you are hiring is indeed reliable. Only the right professional is aware of the fact that the easiest way to avoid unanticipated charges is by following a specific routine maintenance. Though a majority of the mechanics in Horley are hardworking and honest people, not all are. The easiest way to check that the mechanic you have hired is reliable or not is by ensuring that they don't say the things stated below.
Did Your Mechanic Say The Things Stated Below? Start Looking For A New One
- "Any Motor Oil Variety Can Be Used In Your Car"
There are a few mechanics who say that you can use any type of motor oil for your car. Doing so is a strict no-no even if you have a tight budget. The thinness of the oil you should use is entirely dependent on the climate you live in. If it is extremely cold, it is advisable to opt for thinner oil with 0w to 30w. If thinner oil is used in a cold climate, the fuel efficiency of your car will increase. Check the normal operating temperature of your vehicle before choosing thin or thick oil.
- "You Need To Change All The Vital Car Parts"
If the mechanic you have approached tells you that you have to change all the parts of your car to ensure its performance, it's time you start looking for more experienced mechanics in Horley. Though replacing the faulty car parts sometimes becomes necessary, some of the issues can be rectified by repairing them. Moreover, the amount you have to spend to replace all the vital car parts can actually punch a hole in your pocket. A minor issue in the exhaust system can be repaired with a quick dab of the sealant or a cheap weld.
- "The Issue In Your Car Is Quite Complicated"
Even if you feel that the issue in your car is quite complicated, your car mechanic should never feel so. A reliable car mechanic has years of experience in dealing with all types of car issues and knows how to repair it in a hassle-free way. Amateur professionals generally say that the issue is quite complicated just because they want to generate a high repair bill than necessary.
- "You Car Needs Maintenance Services Every Day"
Though vehicle maintenance services are necessary to enhance the lifespan of your car, you definitely don't need them every day. Instead of blindly following whatever the mechanic is saying, go through the car's manual and check its maintenance schedule. This schedule is developed by the manufacturer after many rigorous testing. In fact, opting for car maintenance services too frequently can do more harm to your vehicle than good. You will also end up spending more money.
These being said, make sure you start looking for a new mechanic if the one you have hired says the things stated above.

DE PERE, Wis. -- A big fourth inning proved to be the difference Monday as the Lawrence University baseball team dropped a 15-10 Midwest Conference slugfest to St. Norbert College at Van Alstine Field.
The game started on Sunday before being suspended in the third inning with Lawrence holding a 6-5 lead.
Patrick McDonnell went 4-for-4 with two homers, scored three runs and drove in three runs to pace the Vikings (3-12, 0-4 MWC). Rudy Mueller-Schrader went 2-for-4 and scored twice, and Spenser Ross was 2-for-5 and drove in a run.
Jack Maastricht went 4-for-6 and drove in five runs to pace St. Norbert (11-9, 6-1).
Lawrence grabbed the early lead when it plated five runs in the second on the strength of run-scoring singles from Ethan Jones and Ross and a pair of wild pitches that allowed runs to score. The Vikings added another run in the third when Nick Pastrone doubled and came in to score on a wild pitch for a 6-5 edge.
St. Norbert picked up two runs in the third for a 7-6 lead and then added five runs in the fourth to surge to a 12-7 advantage.
Lawrence battled back with a run in the fifth when McDonnell belted a solo homer to close the margin to 12-8. The Green Knights pushed the lead to 15-8 before McDonnell smacked a two-run homer in the eighth to close out the scoring.
Ethan Jones took the loss in relief, and Sam Hunt worked the final two innings to get the win for St. Norbert.

Keeping an Open Mind
Remember that despite all your effort and planning, visiting your grandparents in an age care facility will not always go how you hoped they will. There's always a chance that your visit may be cut short or your loved one will be too tired or may already have plans or will have health needs that should be attended to. When this happens, don't feel disappointed, and instead make plans to visit on another day or adapt your plans accordingly.

Before you visit your grandparents residing in an aged care nursing home in Sydney, it's important to take into consideration some details about your visit. Aside from when and how long the visit will be, you should also consider what you will be doing while you're there. Although paying them a visit is nice, it would be better if you have some sort of activities lined up while you're in the facility. For instance, if there's an occasions or a celebration, consider bringing the party to them. Even though your grandparents are now living in a facility that offers aged care in Sydney,...Read More
Visiting Grandparents Tip: Visit at a Good Time
If you lived with your grandparents before they moved into a facility that offers high care in south west (or any region for that matter), you may have grown accustomed to their old routines. But then, you should understand that once they moved into the facility, many of these old habits may have changed. These habits may include, for example, their waking hours and their afternoon nap times. In many facilities, seniors are encouraged to wake up early so that they can join other seniors for breakfast, or they may have exchanged their afternoon naps for painting classes or other programs.

Distribution History
1 Distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the indicated monthly or quarterly distribution amount, excluding special distributions, divided by the closing market price as of the stated payment date.
2 Indicates the distribution reinvestment price and method pursuant to KMF's Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP"), which may be satisfied by the following two methods:
a) New Shares issued ("NS") – The number of shares to be issued to a stockholder shall be based on share price equal to 95% of the closing price of the fund's common stock one day prior to the dividend payment date.
b) Open Market purchases ("OM") – If KMF's common stock is trading below net asset value at the time of valuation, upon notice from the fund, the plan administrator will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase shares in the open market for participants' accounts.
3 Distributions paid by the fund may be comprised of income (ordinary and/or qualified dividends), capital gains, and/or return of capital. Return of capital is considered nontaxable and reduces the stockholder's cost basis of the investment. The fund will issue a Form 1099-DIV after each fiscal year-end once the final tax character of distributions has been determined. A current estimate of the tax character of distributions can be found in the most recent distribution press release and/or within the Distributions section of this page. The final tax character may differ substantially from preliminary estimates.
4 The Fund adopted a monthly distribution policy following the close of its merger with Kayne Anderson Energy Total Return Fund (KYE) on 8/6/18. The distribution paid in September 2018 was the first monthly distribution under this new policy. See press release dated 9/10/18.
5 Special distribution, see press release dated 6/25/15.
6 Represents an initial partial distribution.
This material is provided for informational purposes only. This material shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer or sale is not permitted. Performance data quoted represent past performance and are for the stated time period only, Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown based on market fluctuations from the end of the reported period.
Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. After the initial public offering, shares are sold on the open market through a stock exchange. As with any other stock, total return and market value will fluctuate so that an investment, when sold, may be worth more or less than its original cost. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a market price that is below their net asset value.
All investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal. An investment in the fund could suffer loss. The fund's concentration of investments in energy-related MLPs and midstream entities subjects it to the risks of MLPs, midstream entities and the energy sector, including the risks of declines in energy and commodity prices, decreases in energy demand, adverse weather conditions, natural or other disasters, changes in government regulation, and changes in tax laws. Leverage creates risks which may adversely affect return, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of common shares and fluctuations in dividend rates on any preferred shares, and increases a shareholder's risk of loss. Before investing in the fund, you should consider the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses of the fund, which, together with other important information, are included in the fund's most recent prospectus and other filings with the SEC, available here or at http://www.sec.gov. There can be no assurance that the fund's investment objective will be attained.

Headed to her second Canadian Finals Rodeo, now at the age of seventeen, is our number one Canadian Professional Rodeo Association Ladies Barrel Racing Qualifier, Justine Elliott.
This year Elliot won Moose Mountain, Wainwright Short Go & Average, Lea Park, & Grande Prairie, and brought home a grand total of $38,421.00.
Justine has been around horses her entire life, as her father, Jody Elliot is a well known cow horse trainer in Alberta. She began barrel racing when she was twelve years old, and started rodeoing in sixth grade in the Junior High School Rodeo Association. She won Provincials three years in a row in the Alberta High School Rodeo Association, was the season leader for the Wildrose Rodeo Association and Lakeland Rodeo Association in both the 2016 and 2017 seasons, and placed third at the National High School Finals Rodeo in her grade nine and grade ten seasons.
Riding in the trailer to Red Deer will be Blondys Starlight aka Blondy (by Von Starlight, out of a Small Town Baker mare) and Maduals Playboy aka Jackson. Blondy has no running bloodlines, all cow horse bred, and was shown as a working cowhorse her three year old year. During her four year old year she was ran at the Canadian barrel horse futurities.
What quirks does Blondy have?
Blondys quirks are she's the boss. It's her world and I'm just living in it. She has the typical mare mood and is a picky eater.
How would you describe your horses style?
Her style is simple. She stands up around her turns and you just have to help her through them. She is very free running in big pens so you have to help her rate down but she can get short in the small pens so you need to push her a bit more.
How have you and Blondy grown from last season? What will you be doing differently from last years CFR?
I think we have grown this year and got more confident in each other. I'm still learning how to ride her perfectly every run but that learning will never stop. This years CFR I'm going into with a better idea of what's coming and how to handle it better.
With all the miles made, varying ground conditions, and expenses, what kept the CFR dream alive for you this year?
I had quite the mixture of highs and lows this year. I didn't make any money at the beginning of the season until Grande Prairie but before that I was either tipping or just wasn't riding how I was supposed to, but when I started clicking with Blondy again, things started to fall into place. I knew Blondy had more then enough ability to get me to the CFR again, and that's what kept me going.
What do you do to keep a sharp mental edge in the game of rodeo? How do you stay motivated throughout the season?
I try to keep a good mental game by not letting the bad runs get to my head, but also not letting the wins get to my head either. It's rodeo, your luck can change in the split of a second.
What does your feed program look like, keeping your horses in peak condition going down the road and even in the off season?
I don't give Blondy any extra things that she doesn't need. I give her grain, Purina Pro-Athlete, and Calf-mana.
What do you do to condition your horses leading up to the season, and what does your pre CFR routine consist of?
At the end of the season I'll give her a few weeks off then ride her once or twice a week doing lots of long trotting. During the season I give her a day or two off after I get home from the rodeo then I'll ride her once or twice a week again just long trotting and breezing her out. Leading up to CFR nothing really changed, I might make the workouts more intense.
What is the best advice you've ever been told regarding life, horses, rodeo or barrel racing?
A good piece of advice is never take anything for granted.
What has been your most memorable run over the years?
My most memorable run is from the CBHI in 2014 when Blondy was a 5 year old and she ran a 17.0
What is your favourite barrel racing bloodline, and what do you look for in a prospect?
I really like the Good As Nick Gets horses as all of the ones I've seen turn out to be pretty amazing horses. When looking at prospects I look at what other horses from that stud or mare have done.
What's the one thing you cannot live without on the road?
On the road my Dad would tell you that I couldn't live without my phone which he's not wrong, but I also need snacks to keep me going especially on those long drives.
Which of the other CFR Qualifier horses would you swing a leg over if given the chance?
If I could ride any one of the other qualifying horses it would be any one of Taylor Manning's horses.
Who is your barrel racing idol?
My idol is Sherry Cervi.
What would you be doing if you weren't barrel racing or rodeoing?
If I'm not barrel racing or rodeoing I'm doing school or beading.
I also want to say thank you to my Dad for driving me literally all over the country, giving me all the things I need to be successful and giving me the chance to ride Blondy.

Providing efficient, effective mobile-based patient care is at the heart of Partners HealthCare at Home's (PHH) mission. A new innovation is extending this care model to reach to patients in need of expert wound care. Supported by Haiku, a smartphone-based technology with built-in photograph capability, the initiative allows PHH field clinicians to make wound photographs taken during home care visits immediately viewable within the patient's medical record. An office-based Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurse with expertise in wound care can then provide real-time treatment recommendations that inform patient care. The program, initially piloted in 2017, has provided over 2,300 consultations to date, with positive patient satisfaction reported. In June 2018, the initiative received the Innovation Award at the Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts' annual event, recognizing its impact on patient care in the community.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Price: 24,800 yen
Discs: 2
Sound: A-Mode/EFM
Running Time: 2:17
Released: Sony/Columbia
(from IMDb)
Planes reported missing in 1945 suddenly appear in the Mojave desert. A commercial flight is buzzed by a 'bright' object that the pilot 'wouldn't know how to describe'. Roy Neary, while working one night, has a Close Encounter... The US Government determine where the visitors plan to land and create an elaborate cover-up to keep people away. However, a group of people, including Neary, share a vision which draws them to the place and a meeting with new, and old, friends.
Another high profile movie that you expect to look fantastic. Does it? Kind of……..
The transfer is generally good, featuring detailed shots, a relatively clean film print. Outdoor shots are generally bright and lively, but colors throughout the film have a muted feel to them. This can most likely be attributed to the film stock and the age of the print. Indoor scenes are a bit on the dark side with crushed blacks eliminating a lot of low level detailing. However, the finale with the mothership is both bright, vivid and very pleasing to watch. Fleshtones through out the film have a greenish tint to them, however in the finale that tinge seems to disappear.
Compression artifacts are present, especially in low light scenes and in actors faces. But compression artifacts are almost absent in the film finale (side 3 from here on out). In fact, disc 2 side 3 is a great looking scene in the MUSE Hi-Vision format and a definite show off piece for any HDTV display. While the rest of the film is very good, it just barely is worthy of 4 stars.
EFM track was auditioned, and the sound and effects are comprised mostly of mono. What brings the front channels alive is orchestrated music from John Williams. The sound in the EFM tracks is very pleasing never exhibiting a harsh sound to it. I will update this review once I review the A-mode soundtrack and see how it compares to the EFM track.
Low frequency effects are used generally only with the space ship sequences, but otherwise LFE are rarely used.
A very
pleasing looking disc especially the last 30 minutes of the movie. I do recommend this disc, and can only
point you to the screen shots below to help you form your own conclusion. But I do recommend this disc, it
is worth having in a collection of other MUSE titles.
