Essentials Of A SEO Package
Internet is like an innovation that has spread all around benefiting people all around. Internet is now a market that has provided livelihood to so many people and other facilities. To survive this market it is very necessary that a service provider keeps above of all others since the competition is very though. To survive this cut throat competition the websites are now assisted by Search Engine Optimization (SEO) companies. These companies try to help them with the highest most possible positions on search results of a seach engine so that the visibility is enhanced. Any business on internet needs visibility to bloom and boom since this visiblity is responsible for the diversion of traffic to them. There are many SEO companies in the market and to choose between them is also a hard task to perform. Before hireng any SEO company one must look for the the folloing things that are offered by them.
Content Writing:
A content writer plays a very vital role in such packages since content on a website gets a considerable amount of relevancy by every search engine. A content writer is quilifed in the fields of marketing, advertising, social sciences and other such fields and togetherly, is a person with ample amount of knowledge who with words can provide a user with all necessary information. The job of a content writer includes write ups under different entities that mey depend on the service offered by website to website. A content writer has to keep up with key words in a proper manner so that the relevancy is maintained and it is easily shortlisted by the algorithims of search engines.
Article Submission:
when content writers are through their tasks, the articles they concluded are needed to be submitted on the most directories of the internet. These directories have the capability to divert traffic to a website since the articles on them are given priorities. Articles on these sites are properly syndicated on other sites and increases th impact od content online. The task of article submission is performed by a seach engine optimizer since they are well updated with internet and have a good amount of knowledge about directories that may suit the requirement.
Backlink Indexing:
Backlink indexing directly affects search engine ranking for a website and this is why it is considered to be a vital essential in every SEO package. The rankings are achieved on search results of a search engine when enormous amount of backlinks are indexed. Backlinking is something that has to be done very carefully so that google does not have to struggle much to find the back links. This is some thing that has to be taken good care of as it can directly affect rankings. Although indexing is done by every SEO company but no SEO can assure 100% indexing. The process of Indexing may fall anywhere between 50% to 85% but 100 % is not at all possible but indexing to the level mentioned is really affective and will definitely fetch rankings.
Profile Backlinks:
Ranking is improved by directing huge number of externally related links to a website. to do the same the webmaster maust activate new accounts with the SEO company he has hired so that the profile backlinks in the forums, blogs and related websites are improved. It is done so since every major search engine provides them with good priority and a good amount of traffic is diverted.

Sector: Neutral sectors
System: Vega
Location: Fort Muerto
Min. clearance level: ?
Ship ranks: ?
Mission is temporarily unavailable.
Frontier sector FX-1 has become a haven for pirates of all kinds. Since the beginning of the Invasion, renegades have started a black market for artifacts and experimental Alien technology. And for those who have money and connections, pirate engineers may well help equip ships with Alien technology. The last operation to recruit a group of pirates to work for our cause was successful — the Pirates have agreed to steal a transport full of artifacts and Alien technology from their base. You have to provide cover.
Players will have to infiltrate Fort Muerto, escort and protect a transport ship leaving the base with alien tech and defeat the Pirate Baron.
The first stage
Requires players to take down the station's defenses by destroy 3 Charging cells, a Shield controller and 2 Magfield Projectors, while defending against Pirate turrets and ships!
The second stage
Requires players to escort the transport while defending it from the pirate ships and turrets.
The third stage
The last stage requires players to destroy the Pirate Baron's ship, built with alien tech, equipped with an extremely powerful Singularity Cannon with a medium firerate which can deal well over 50000 EM damage per shot. The weapon projectiles have low velocity but that wont help the frigates! The baron will also frequently call in reinforcements, Corsairs and Cutthroats.
Ships with a lot of mobility are advised for the first stage, a Recon ship or a Covert Ops. An LRF or Gunship is recommended for the second stage, splitting into 2 groups is optional but effective in long term strategy. One group would defend the Cargo ship from pirates and the other group would be tasked with taking down the missile turrets. The group defending the Cargo ship could also use Engineering frigates to be able to repair the ship if it falls under heavy enemy fire, teamwork is crucial. For the last stage it's recommended to have maneuverable ships to be able to dodge the death spheres.

Dave "Killer" Carlson
Dave "Killer" Carlson
Captain Dave "Killer" Carlson is the leader of the first wave of Rangers at Santa Fe Springs.
Background[edit | edit source]
Captain Carlson assisted Captain Angela Deth in the initial sortie to Los Angeles. While she performed an overflight of Seal Beach, he stayed behind with a group of Rangers to secure the Santa Fe perimeter. Unfortunately, things went to hell fast. Nuke pooches swarmed through openings in the perimeter wall and ripped apart Team Foxtrot. By the time Team Echo arrives at the compound, Carlson is the only one left and even he is rapidly bleeding out.
Interactions[edit | edit source]
|This character has no special interactions.
Details[edit | edit source]
- Carlson is the first Ranger Team Echo finds on Californian soil. He is rapidly bleeding out and will not survive. He orders the Rangers to find Wade Woodson and save him.
- After the Ranger team patches the holes in the perimeter wall, Carlson expires, but manages to pass on orders from the brass.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
Dave "Killer" Carlson was a character in the 1977 movie Slapshot played by Jerry Houser.

With Do It Yourself kitchen ideas that cost under $100, and a
little effort, you can completely transform your space with simple cosmetic changes; paint, hardware, lighting and a new faucet.
First consider the condition of your cabinets. Since cabinets consume most of the space in your kitchen, if they are worn and dated, your space looks worn and dated. Painting walls and cabinets costs under $100 and with a little elbow grease your space will look fresh and updated.
Add another $100 for cabinet handles and hinges and now you have new cabinet jewelry. Cabinet hardware starts at about $1.00 for the knobs, and $2.00 for the handles. Be sure to consider new hinges, especially if they have been painted. A good quality self-closing hinge costs a couple of bucks and eliminates the need for cabinet latches.
Next, evaluate your counter tops. First consider what you already have. If you have ceramic tile and it's in fairly good shape, you can decide to repair and re-grout the counter tops. Scraping out the old grout and installing new grout is a simple week-end project. Just, don't forget to seal the new grout.
If your counter tops are butcher block, you can sand them down and stain them a new color, or just lay down few coats of mineral oil to freshen them up. Or, for a dramatic change you might consider overlaying your existing counter tops with a coat of colored concrete, then re-do your back splash in small inexpensive tiles.
For about $100 you can change out your kitchen faucet. You will not believe what a difference a new faucet will make. Make sure that the configuration of the new faucet resembles the old one, i.e. - single hole, three hole, and, maybe a fourth hole for a soap dispenser.
Storage solutions can transform your space from cluttered to organize. Simple, wire shelves make it possible to store extra mugs, or separate the dinner plates from the salad plates. Drawer organizers make it possible to actually find your cooking tools, at the same time protect your hands from sharp edges. And, $100 can buy a lot of storage solutions.
Another inexpensive change that makes a big difference is new lighting. Most of us can install new lighting, however, if you are uncomfortable dealing with electricity, you should be able to call in a licensed electrician for under $100. Call for a free estimate, then order the lighting fixtures and call in the expert when you are ready.
As you can see, there are a lot of Do It Yourself, inexpensive kitchen ideas that can be completed in a week-end or series of week-ends. For dramatic results, consider a rich new wall or cabinet color and a new metal finishes for your hardware and faucet. And, if you are really brave, purchase appliance paint and refinish your appliances.

What happens when a historian meets a modernist?
One obsessed with what has gone before, the other reaching for what is yet to be realized: Can they find a common ground?
The answer may be found in "First Light," historian Ambeth Ocampo's painstakingly curated retrospective exhibit of the works of National Artist Arturo Luz, which runs until the end of July at Ayala Museum.
Or it may not.
In either case, it's worth a look, if only to get acquainted with the work of this most enigmatic of the modern Filipino masters.
Barest essentials
In the continuum of modern art in the Philippines, Luz stands alone.
Although his early work from the 1950s shows him mining the same populist vein as predecessors such as Manansala, Ocampo and Legaspi (scenes drawn from daily life in postwar Manila), Luz soon abandoned this for a more rigorous formalism that pared down what remained on the canvas to the barest essentials of line and color.
As Luz himself put it: "I was slowly beginning to realize that, for me, the subject was becoming less and less important, until, as a consequence, my paintings became simpler and simpler and I eventually wound up with a few objects, mostly still life. It wasn't the subject as such that interested me, but the shapes, the linear structure."
Over years and decades, Luz would keep coming back to the same subjects—still lifes, landscapes, cyclists and musicians—doing hundreds of variations, trying to exhaust all the possibilities. As his friend, the artist Fernando Zobel put it, he "had the patience of a spider."
"My work is relatively simple; there's nothing complicated about it," Luz wrote. "It involves the same problems except that I keep changing the medium. My work is linear and geometric and that's it, essentially."
In many ways, Luz's aesthetic goes against the grain of Filipino sensibility: "cool" where Filipino tastes run "hot," concerned with ideas rather than feelings, intellectual rather than emotional.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Luz's work isn't immediately engaging. To appreciate it, the viewer has to approach it in an almost contemplative frame of mind.
Which is probably why Luz leaves many viewers cold, at least at first.
Enviable collection
Ocampo's initial response was typical.
"I didn't like his work at all," admits the avid art collector, who met Luz in 2002. "I went to see him because I wanted to buy one of his silver sculptures. Since I was there, his assistant showed me some of his other work. I started looking. It developed from there."
Ocampo came home with a painting. He kept looking, and the artist and his art grew on him. Eventually, the two became friends. Ocampo now owns an enviable collection of Luz's works, some of which may be seen in the Ayala Museum exhibit.
"He's a very erudite, well-read person, and when you talk, he makes a lot of sense," Ocampo says. "[Art critic Leo] Benesa called him 'the painter with the mandarin sensibility.' Luz's sensibility runs against the grain of Pinoy horror vacui. Its strength lies in its balance and restraint. It's too sparse, too intellectual for some, which is what scares many people off. It is cold—but it works."
Luz remains relatively undervalued, despite the current feeding frenzy in contemporary Philippine art.
"People recognize him, but whether they accept him is another thing," Ocampo says.
In 1979, after a 10-year hiatus in which he did mostly sculptures, Luz made 3,000 artworks in a 15-month creative spurt. From these, he selected 250 for a retrospective exhibit at the Museum of Philippine Art. Not a single one was sold.
"Luz is the cheapest National Artist," adds Ocampo. "He's underrated. Bencab and Ang Kiukok fetch millions, but I think most collectors still don't understand the appeal of Luz. If he didn't become a National Artist, he wouldn't be selling at all."
Ocampo hopes to redress this injustice with "First Light," which he curated in honor of the artist's 90th year. Gathering works from all stages of the artist's career, in roughly chronological order, the exhibit allows viewers to see how Luz's work has evolved over six decades.
As Ocampo writes in his curatorial notes:
"An arc can be traced from the genre, color and pictorial representation of Luz's work in the 1950s to the muted colors and simplified lines and shapes of the 1960s. He abandoned painting for sculpture in 1969, and progressed into three decades of purely abstract works in sculpture, painting, collage and prints. Echoes of his early work can be discerned in works from the 1990s and early 2000s. The return is in a different form, not mere repetition, but the attempt of the artist to explore and exhaust all possible variations on a theme…
"The visual language in the early works is clearly Philippine in subject and form, developing like the country into a world where national boundaries are slowly blurred into the international and global."
Global sensibility
The exhibit also shows how Luz liked to go back to the same themes years, or even decades, later, but approach them from a totally new perspective.
In Luz's words: "It completes a cycle alternating between objective and pictorial reality. The transition from picture to painting is complete: We are fixed with an object which speaks entirely in plastic terms, with little or no reference to the visible world, where lines and shapes and colors are made to conform for their own sake, existing in a visual, created reality of its own."
The exhibit also shows some of Luz's sculpture. In 1969, the artist took a nearly decade-long break from painting to focus on sculptural work. As with his paintings, Luz's sculptures— first in wood, then later in stone and metal—are explorations in pure geometric forms. Luz created several monumental works in metal, many of them as set-pieces for buildings designed by his friend, the architect Leandro Locsin, such as the Philippine International Convention Center and the old Philippine Plaza Hotel.
Apart from his own works, Luz was also hugely influential on the Philippine art scene as the owner and curator of Luz Gallery. For more than four decades, until it closed its doors in 2002, the Luz Gallery showcased the best local artists. Luz also invited artists he liked from other Asian countries to show in the gallery, and once a year, he would sell artifacts and antiquities he had gathered from his extensive travels through India and Southeast Asia.
"He had a global sensibility for someone who was essentially homegrown," Ocampo says.

How do I set up a video or audio assignment using Media Gallery?
You can create assignments for student video or audio uploads using multiple tools in your site. Submissions can be private (between student and instructors) or made available to the entire class.
- Assignments: In an assignment that accepts Inline submissions, students use the Rich-Text Editor to embed a video or audio file in their submission.
- Tests & Quizzes: Students embed a video or audio file in a response to a short answer/essay question.
Shared with class:
- Media Gallery: Students upload their video or audio files directly to the Media Gallery tool in the site.
- Lessons: Add Student content in Lessons for students to embed their video or audio files in their lesson pages.
- Forums: Students embed media in forum posts.
This article describes how to set up private assignments in the Assignments tool and assignments that can be shared with the class in Media Gallery. The setup process is similar in other tools.
Set up a video or audio assignment in Assignments.
Unlike many assignments, where students upload files as attachments, students should embed their uploaded audio or video files using the Rich-Text Editor. This is because Assignments limits the size of file attachments to 250 MB, smaller than most audio and video files.
So students are not confused by how to submit a video or audio assignment, using the Inline only option for Student Submissions is recommended.
For complete steps to add an assignment, see How do I add an assignment?
In the Assignment Instructions, you may also want to include a link to steps for students to submit the assignment. The steps they need to take may differ slightly depending on whether they will be using the Personal Capture feature to record, and/or whether they choose to upload their video or audio file to My Media and edit the file before embedding it. You can find steps for different types of submissions in the following articles:
Tip: If you need students to upload additional files with their submission (for example, a script as a Word document), use the default Inline and Attachments option. In this case, it would be helpful to clarify in the assignment instructions that the audio or video file should be embedded in the editor, while the other files should be uploaded as attachments.
Have students upload files directly to Media Gallery.
Add Media Gallery to your site (if not already present).
If the Media Gallery tool is not already in your site, follow the steps in How do I add a tool to my site? At the step Select your set of tools, select Media Gallery.
Edit Media Gallery settings. (Optional)
By default, student uploads to Media Gallery are moderated. This means that an instructor must approve each video or audio file before it is released to the rest of the class. If you prefer to have students' uploaded files available to everyone in the site immediately when they are uploaded, you can disable the Moderate Content setting in your site's Media Gallery.
Go to Media Gallery.
Select the Media Gallery tool from the Tool Menu in your site.
Select the Actions menu (three bars icon), then Edit.
Disable Moderate content.
- Scroll down on the page to the Options section, and uncheck the Moderate Content box.
- Select Save.
Return to Media Gallery.
The page will refresh with a message indicating The information was saved successfully. To return to the main page of Media Gallery, either:
- Select the Media Gallery link at the top of the page to refresh the tool,
- Or select the Back to Media Gallery link at the bottom of the page (next to the Save button).
Provide instructions to students.
Students can upload files by following the steps in How do I upload a video or audio file to Media Gallery?
As Media Gallery is a repository for all of a site's video and audio files, it does not include a specific location to give students assignment instructions. You might post your instructions in another tool in your site, such as Assignments, Announcements, Syllabus, or a page in Lessons.
Tip: Including guidelines for file names in the instructions can make each student's submission(s) easier to identify. For example, you might require students to include their first name, last name, and a title in the name of their file: Student One's Video Introduction.

Record: 49-31, first place in Western Division
The Lakers won their third division title in four years, led once again by Jerry West, who finished second in the league at 31.0 points per game, and Elgin Baylor, who finished fifth at 27.1
Playoffs: The Lakers defeated Baltimore in six games to advance to the NBA Finals against, you guessed it, the Boston Celtics. Baylor injured a knee during the Baltimore series and was unable to play against Boston. West averaged 40.6 points per game in the postseason, but it wasn't enough as the Lakers lost to the Celtics in five games.

Its a Big 'Un!!
The other week I got a call from a lady with a strange request…
Lady: "Hello, I wanted to see how much your invitations were."
Me: "Sure, which design are you interested in?"
Lady: "Well, I want something custom with Peacock feathers and silk."
Me: "Sure, we can do that for you. How many do you need?"
Lady: "One big one."
Me: "Just one? How big? 6 by 9 inches?"
Lady:"No, really big… like 17 by 22 inches "
Me: "What?!"
And so the project began. Here are the photos to prove it. The biggest invitation we've ever done. It turned out quite beautiful actually. Found out it will be presented and displayed with custom calligraphy inside at an equally grand event.
Sometimes we get some offbeat requests, but I've always told everyone that we can make anything and make it well!


text: I have been to the big smoke called London over the last couples of days to observe people and to find out how they create 'personal' space in public places. I spoke to some crazy characters, gained some cool video footage and managed to get a couple of sketches done. All off that was great brain food for my idea generation for my mayor project.

Saṃyukta Āgama
808. Kapilavastu
Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was abiding in Kapilavastu, in the Nyagrodha Park.
At that time, Śākya Mahānāman went to the place of the bhikṣu Venerable Kāma* (迦磨). After bowing his head at the feet of Kāma Bhikṣu, he withdrew to one side, and spoke to Kāma Bhikṣu, saying, "What, Venerable Kāma, is abiding at the stage of training the same as the abiding of the Tathāgata, or is the abiding of a trainee different from the abiding of the Tathāgata?"
Kāma Bhikṣu replied, saying, "Mahānāman, the abiding of a trainee is different from the abiding of the Tathāgata. Mahānāman, one who abides as a trainee severs the Five Hindrances and abides there. The abiding of the Tathāgata has fully severed the Five Hindrances, fully aware, and having severed them at the root, like cutting off the head of a palm tree, they will not grow further, and future dharmas will not arise.
"At one time, the Bhagavān was abiding in the Icchānaṅgala Forest. At that time, the Bhagavān said to the bhikṣus, 'I wish to sit in dhyāna for two months. You bhikṣus should not come here, except for a bhikṣu to deliver food, and at the time of the Upavasatha.' ... As previously stated, up to... that present abiding in the bliss of the Dharma, for those beyond training.
"For this reason you should know, Mahānāman, that the abiding of a trainee is different from the abiding of the Tathāgata." Śākya Mahānāman heard what Kāma Bhikṣu had said. Delighted, he arose from his seat and departed.


text: Robert Sloan - March 25, 2019 Texas Fishing Calendar 2019 From January through December, let's take a look at what Texas has to offer this year. Texas enjoys bountiful fishing destinations spread across the state. Lone Star State anglers can choose from a wide variety of freshwater or saltwater options. We've researched three great angling opportunities for each month of 2019, featuring a collection of different species.Images by Vic DunawayJANUARYSpeckled Trout: East Matagorda BayJanuary is one of the best months to be fishing on this middle coast bay. It's loaded with mullet, shell and mud — everything that trophy trout need during the coldwater months. Guide Charlie Paradoski says that he'll be fishing anywhere he can find mullet.That's usually going to be along the very popular east shoreline where numerous reefs can be found. About 99 percent of the fishing done here is out of the boat — as in wading. It's the best way to catch big wintertime trout. A top lure is the slow-sinking Corky Fat Boy. The paddle tail Assassins in purple chartreuse or purple/pink are go-to lures on just about any given day. Other Options: East Galveston Bay Speckled Trout: Wade-fish the north side of the bay for big trout. Best catches are usually in 3 to 5 feet of water. Best time to fish will be just after a cold front. Toledo Bend Crappie: Fish the "Chicken Coop," a deep-water area with lots of shad and crappie, with a live minnow. Best depths will be 25 to 30 feet deep.FEBRUARYWhite Bass: Nueces RiverThe Nueces River is a South Texas water that's full of spawning white bass right now. You don't hear a lot about this river — actually 315 miles long — but at this time, the boat ramp parking lot in George West will be loaded with trucks and boat trailers for the next few weekends, and it's all about the white bass.Two hot lures at this time are micro spinnerbaits or plastic jigs. Running or bouncing these lures along the bottom in fast-moving water is the best approach to boat loads of fish. Darrin Kemp, a veteran on the Nueces during the spawning run, says schools of whites will hold and feed in 3- to 4-foot-deep pockets on the downcurrent end of shallow shoals.Other Options:Choke Canyon Lake Bass: Fish tube jigs around trees and brush near the dam at about 15 to 20 feet. Expect a very soft bite. Guadalupe River Rainbow Trout: Wade-fish below Canyon Lake dam. Use corn or cheese, or nymphs on a fly rod. MARCHWhite Bass: Sabine RiverThe stretch of the Sabine River above Toledo Bend is where you'll find the best run of white bass in Texas right now. It not only produces lots of white bass, but big ones in the 2- to 3-pound class. You can put in at just about any ramp on the river and find good numbers of white bass.Some of the best areas will be at the mouths of feeder creeks connected to the main river channel. Males will move up the river from Toledo Bend the first couple of weeks in March. Then the heavier females will show up. The only glitch is high water. That can make finding spawning white bass tough. In that situation, ease up feeder creeks where you'll find isolated pockets of whites stacked up along the bank. Other Options:Angelina River White Bass and Crappies: This is a well-known river with good runs of both white bass and crappies now. Trinity Bay Speckled Trout: Chase big trout with a Mirrolure Catch 2000 along shoreline in 2 to 3 feet after a cold front.APRILSpeckled Trout: Baffin BayThis is a very popular bay to fish for trophy trout. Wading works best, but you can also ease along with a trolling motor and fish the rocks scattered throughout the bay.Trout will be feeding on mullet, so mullet imitations work great. A great choice is a Corky Fat Boy in gold/black or white/red. Warm, sunny days will produce the best bite in 3 to 5 feet of water. Fish lures slow and expect a soft bite.If you catch a big one, remember to use CPR — catch, photo and release. Due to the many rocks in this bay, it's usually best to hire an experienced guide.Other Options:Toledo Bend Blue Cats: Set trotlines in 15 to 25 feet of water on humps. Use live perch or fresh-cut bluegills. Lake Raven Largemouth Bass: Look for bass to be on the beds in 2 to 3 feet of water.MAYBream: Toledo BendEven though we're on the tail end of the crappie spawn on Toledo Bend, you can still find some on the beds. This is also when lots of big bream will begin to move up to spawn in 2 to 4 feet of water. Catching these tasty panfish is big time fun. They will stack up along sandy shorelines at the mouths of creeks on the lower and middle sections of the lake. Where you catch one, you'll usually catch a bunch. There is no size or bag limit on bream. Along clearwater shorelines you can sight-cast to bedding bream with tiny streamers and nymphs. Tiny tube jigs also catch plenty of bream. The spawn should be good well into June.Other Options:Village Creek Bream and Bass: This stream is loaded with bream and bass. Access can be had at Village Creek State Park in Lumberton. Lake LBJ Largemouths: Work your way along the clearwater shoreline and fish jig/crawfish combinations around the rocks. JUNERedfish: Port O'ConnorThe many clearwater flats you'll find along the middle Texas coast out of Port O'Connor load up with hungry redfish in June. The water is warming, and plenty of crabs and baitfish will be on the flats.Some great fishing areas will be along Matagorda Island, Blackberry Island, Dewberry Island and Lighthouse Cove. An assortment of lures will catch reds. A topwater plug like a Mirrolure She Dog will be good over the shallow grass early and late. Another good topwater lure is the Super Spook Jr. Best colors are bone, or blue/chrome.Soft plastics also catch shallow reds. Two great ones are Assassins and DOAs. Fish them on lightweight 1/8- or 1/16-ounce jigheads. The Assassin screw lock heads are best.Other Options:Lavaca Bay Redfish and Trout: Find them along the sandy shorelines or over shell on the many reefs. Neches River Bass and Perch: Hot lures include crankbaits in silver or bone or a Stanley Vibra-Shaft willow leaf spinnerbait.JULYSpeckled Trout: Sabine JettiesLocated on the Louisiana border, these offer some of the best trout fishing you'll ever find along the rocks — almost all done with lures. Guide Jerry Norris says he'll start early with topwater lures on the inside of the east jetty, then move to the Gulf side of the west jetty as the sun warms things up.His go-to jig is a bone or chartreuse Assassin Shad rigged on a 1/4-ounce jighead. Fish jigs near bottom in about 6 to 8 feet of water. Always watch for pods of mullet moving up and down the rocks. That's usually where you'll find one or two big trout. You'll need a Louisiana fishing license to fish the Gulf side of the east jetty.Other Options:Sabine River Mixed Bag: Fish for reds and trout where the river flows into the upper end of Sabine Lake. Bass fishing is best north of the Interstate 10 bridge. Bessie Heights Marsh Reds: Toss spinnerbaits and topwater lures in this shallow area to catch reds all day long.AUGUSTRedfish: Port O'Connor JettiesThese jetties attract a ton of reds, which can be caught on fresh dead or live baits all day long. The end of the north jetty is about 50 feet deep. Drop anchor and fish straight down on bottom. Bring weights up to 6 ounces to keep baits on bottom near rocks. The current can be very strong at times.The best bite will be during a major feeding time. If the bite doesn't develop within about 30 minutes, pull anchor and move to the end of the south jetty. Eventually, you'll catch slot reds in the deep water.Other Options:San Antonio Bay Speckled Trout: Fish a live shrimp about 3 feet below a popping cork along shell reefs for 15- to 18-inch trout. Lake Fork Crappies: Fish edges of drops, creek channels and around bridge pilings with a live shiner on a No. 2 straight shank hook.SEPTEMBERCrappies: Sam Rayburn ReservoirWhen it's just about too hot to fish, that's when the crappie bite on Sam Rayburn Reservoir can be as good as it gets over brushpiles. Guide Bill Fondren says he'll be fishing brush in 18 to 25 feet of water with live minnows. He'll fish minnows on bare hooks, and also on Stanley Wedgetail jigs.Not every brushpile will be holding crappies. It's important to fish one for about 15 to 20 minutes, then move on to another one if you don't get any bites.As we begin to get cool fronts through, the depth that crappie will be feeding at can vary from one day to the next. If you catch one or two crappies, usually there will be lots more in the brush.Other Options:Freeport Surf Speckled Trout: Wade-fish the line of surf from San Luis Pass to the Freeport jetties. Look for bait, or birds working in the first or second gut. McFadden National Wildlife Refuge Redfish: Fish for redfish along ten-mile cut with wake baits in gold and black, or throw gold spoons.OCTOBERRed Snapper and King Mackerel: Port Mansfield OffshoreThe run from Port Mansfield to the jetties that lead to the Gulf of Mexico is about a 30-minute boat ride, but it's well worth the extra effort that's required. A ton of snapper can be caught at the rocks that are located within state waters out to 9 nautical miles. Some excellent rocks will also be located one to two miles off the beach in 30 to 40 feet of water. The best way to catch snapper is to use soft plastic jigs or Snapper Slappers tipped with squid or a chunk of a sardine. King mackerel can be caught around big pods of pogies that are pushed to the surface by feeding fish. Some of the best lures are going to be 1-ounce silver spoons or Super Spook topwater plugs. Spoons are especially good because they can be cast extremely long distances with relative ease, a valuable asset for chasing kings.Other Options:Choke Canyon Catfish: Catch catfish on juglines or trotlines. Use dead shrimp for channel cats and live perch for blues. Canyon Lake Largemouth Bass: The water is fairly clear, so scale back and use small lures.NOVEMBERSpeckled Trout and Redfish: Sabine LakeSabine Lake is where you'll find some of the very best fishing under the birds this time of year. Catches of trout and redfish will be pretty dependableuntil we get the first good cold front that comes through. Look for reds to be schooling and eating shad on the surface. Gulls will be feeding on the shad, as well. Anglers who follow the birds will usually find the fish, too. A good pair of binoculars is an invaluable investment for this type of fishing, as they can potentially allow you to spot birds more easily.Some outstanding lures for redfish will include a gold/black Rat-L-Trap or a gold spoon. When trout are schooling on the surface, they're not too picky. In fact, they'll hit just about anything that won't eat them first in this situations.Traps are very good, as are soft plastic swimbaits like a Deadly Dudley or Yum Money Minnow in glow or bone colors.Other Options:Freeport Jetty Redfish: Anglers should fish live baits on the bottom about 20 feet off of the rocks. Those who prefer to fish lures should cast them at the end of jetties. Port O'Connor Redfish: Those hoping for reds should fish cracked crabs or fresh dead mullet in the deep cuts leading from the bay to the Gulf to entice those bull redfish that are schooled in the pass.DECEMBERRedfish and Trout: Laguna MadreThe middle Laguna Madre is the warmest area of the Gulf Coast during December, and the fishing will be worth your time if you plan a fishing excursion there. It's not unusual for folks to do a cast and blast. Shoot ducks in the morning and catch fish in the afternoon. Wade-fishing works best along the Intracoastal Canal in 2 to 4 feet of water. Best lures will be soft plastic jigs like an Assassin or D.O.A. rigged on a 1/8-ounce jighead. Top colors are shad, white/red and purple/chartreuse.Another option is to drift fish the open flats. If you find jumping mullet, you'll more than likely find scattered reds and trout.Other Options:West Galveston Bay Speckled Trout: Fish waist- to chest-deep water in south shore coves with mud and shell with slow-sinking mullet imitation lures. Lake Conroe Catfish: Catch channel cats under lake bridges. Toss soured grain and fish stinkbait on bottom about 15 to 20 feet deep.Click Here: Find the best places to go fishing in America GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

It looks like 29 C or 85' ish this week and the next
I know I forgot to pray for something this morning.Tons of rain and thunderstorms from the eastern edge of TS Barry. Feeling bad for Louisiana!
After the battle of Gettysburg, Meade was criticized for not capturing a substantial part of Lee's army on their long way back to Virginia. But after 2 to 3 days battle at 100 F plus all the creatures in his army were probably spaced out.Hot in the upper 80sF and tomorrow into the lower 90sF.
Tomorrow (Sunday) is our reeanctment unit's biggest and most significant event. One year my husband became ill due to the heat at this event. The following years we bought a portable air conditioner for the headquarters building so that we can cool the back "modern" room for our members and anyone who does not feel well. (We have also used it at a few our meetings when it was hot enough.) It requires opening the window in this room - which is at the back of the building and not obvious to the public -
about 5 or 6 inches so it does not look like there is an ac in the over 300 year old building.
It our Indepenence day event. On July 22, 1776 the Declaration of Independence after making its way through the communities to the west of this one arrived and was read to the public assembled on the village green. There was rioting. Some were happy, some thought it terrible, and others were unsure of what to think. The community we are headquartered keeps very good historical records and the events of the day were recorded. Husband reads the D of I when it "arrives" on the same village green. He tries to read it as if he has not seen it before so it is more as it would have been. "Wait, wait, hear this part!" Our members will respond during the reading - happy or upset or confused. Parts may be called to be reread if there is uncertainty. We are among the public and will talk to them about it as if it is read trying to provoke a response or at least a bit of thinking about how momentous this was to populace - "If we no longer have a King - what happens to our church?"
But before we could pack our stuff for the event, we had to get the dining room where it is stored back somewhats to rights - see next post.
Still around but in the US they call themselves Episcopalian....
BTW what did happen to the Anglican Church after the revolution ?
Catch anything ?Still around but in the US they call themselves Episcopalian.
Perfect day today. Spent a couple of hours out on a lake yesterday evening.
Sounds like paradise. Here constant rain is sabotaging my kitchen reno. Have to spray paint newell posts , handrails and finish boards. Also wondering about installing engineered floor humidity is high at 50% but we can reduce that with AC. Iwas hoping for a max of 40% so when it drops to 25 % in the coldest of the winter the wood would not shrink too much.We're now enjoying bright sunny warm temperatures of 20 C, but very cold nights of 3-4 C overnight. Generally I find that overnight temps is what really determines how cold or warm it is. A brief 20 C for an hour or so in the middle of the day hardly makes much of a difference. It's cold.
I wonder whether global warming will give us any frost soon. That will be interesting. In the past we've gone down to - 4C.
Same it's atl east 100 with the index plus I have to work lol go figureHeat index of 110 for the next few days.
I wish that I had deer in my back yard! When I was growing up, I had whitetail deer as pets. One was an orphaned fawn that actually lived in the house for a while. Much to my mom's consternation, it chewed the lamp cords and the drapes. At one point I had 7 deer due to the buck and doe having twins just about every time........no they didn't live in the house . However, I did wake up one morning to find that my dad had brought a newborn calf (that had been rejected by its mother) into the kitchen to keep it warm. My mom was a saint but she also knew what she was getting into when she married a farmer.The wilderness is snoozing in my back yard, it seems I'm hosting 3 black tail deer who decided to come breakfast on the berries on my ground cover.

What is Valerian Used for?Valerian is used for easing symptoms of nervous tension, irritability, and stress. Its effectiveness is confirmed in treating epilepsy, hysteria, spasmodic pain around the heart, spasms in the airways, and nervousness, which is manifested in the stomach and intestines.
For insomnia it can be combined with chamomile in order to make calming tea.
With high blood pressure and heart hardships caused by stress you can mix Valerian with lime and hawthorn, for further relief of the heart muscle.
Valerian is used for different health conditions:general anxiety and nervousness that can be aggravated due to irritability,insomnia as a result of nervousness,the nervous disturbances followed by heart palpitations and a sense of fear in the area of the heart.
How Does the Valerian Work?Valerian exhibits sedative and spasmolytic effects. It reduces locomotor activity and aggressive behavior. This natural remedy is used in the case of anxiety, headaches caused by tension, migraine and depression.
Because of its sedative property, valerian reduces attention and concentration, so it should not be taken before driving, running a gadgets and machinery and other activities which require high concentration.
Valerian shows sedative-hypnotic, anxiolytic (reduces anxiety and tension), antidepressant, anticonvulsant and spasmolytic (reduces spasms) effects. It also decreases blood pressure.
What Does Researches Show?German Commission E has approved using valerian in insomnia, nervousness and anxiety. Some phytotherapists recommended valerian for treating hypochondria.
Most researches show that taking valerian reduces the sleep start and improves subjective sleep quality. The best effect achieves by using 400-900 mg of valerian extract up to 2 hours before bedtime. It is often combined with other sedative herbs such as melissa, hops and mint. Valerian improves sleep quality in patients who have recently stopped with benzodiazepines therapy.
How to Use Valerian?Valerian can be used as a tea made of 2-3 g of valerian root poured with a cup of boiled water, several times a day.
It also can be used in the form of tincture in the amount of 20-30 drops three times a day.
In What Cases Valerian Should not be Used?Valerian should not be used during pregnancy, breastfeeding and with the simultaneous application of sedatives, barbiturates and narcotics. It does not cause physical dependence, but sometimes people rely on valerian too much. It shouldn't be used during long time, without revealing the real cause of tension.
Side EffectsLarge doses of valerian may cause headaches, restlessness, excitement, insomnia, difficulty awakening and mydriasis. Valerian should not be used before driving. After a long-term use of valerian, dose should be gradually lowered.
ContraindicationsAlcohol increases valerian effects so their parallel use should be avoided. Concomitant use of benzodiazepines, hypnotics and antipsychotics with valerian is contraindicated.

Delaware Chatter
Senate OKs bill to boost schools in Wilmington (Natalia Alamdari)
State Sen. Elizabeth Lockman "wants to reinvigorate the conversation around Wilmington Schools." Three years ago the Wilmington Education Improvement Commission presented the General Assembly with education policy recommendations re how the state should "go about supporting high-risk students in the city, and improving access to high-quality public education."
A "weighted funding model" was recommended to cope with poverty, need for English learning classes, etc. Also, it was recommended that Christina School District's city schools be transferred to Red Clay. Senate killed the redistricting proposal in 2016, and no funding ever materialized.
Now Sen. Lockman, who was the WEIC vice-chair, is backing a proposed Redding Consortium for Educational Equity that would pursue the same issues in a new venue. Senate Bill 148, passed by the Senate on June 19 and awaiting action by the House, would accomplish this. Thus, the consortium would evaluate the need for additional or alternative schools in the city (including high schools), a redistricting proposal, and "the viability of New Castle County's tax pool." Several sources are quoted to the effect that the consortium recommendations "could benefit high-needs students across the state."
Price tag for the consortium: $240K per year. Staffed by UD's Institute for Public and DSU's School of Graduate Studies. If the bill passes, consortium would have its first meeting by Sept. 1.

Welcome to DIGERS
The DIGERS (Data Sets and Inquiry in Geoscience Environmental Restoration Studies) project has designed and implemented adaptable high school and undergraduate curricular exemplars about environmental restoration in the Puget Sound area of Washington State with an emphasis on river geomorphology and its systemic relationship to (1) biodiversity and (2) the legacy of human interaction with the environment. The project was carried out as collaborative research, under the leadership of Principal Investigators Daniel R. Zalles at SRI International and David A. Montgomery at the University of Washington (UW). The undergraduate curriculum, a full quarter course, was designed and taught by the DIGERS UW team, led by Brian Collins, with input from the two PIs and from DIGERS team members Tom Colonese, Cynthia Updegrave, and Amir Sheikh. The high school unit in Year 3 was developed by PI Zalles, with the help of UW consultant Cynthia Updegrave and taught by a science teacher at a tribal high school near Seattle Washington as part of his Environmental Science course. There was also input from a language arts teacher at the school who was responsible for an interdisciplinary course concerning their tribal heritage. All the students at the school participated in that interdisciplinary course of study. Prior to the implementation of the high school unit in Year 3, the DIGERS UW team developed a set of handouts for field trips at the same tribal high school. They co-led these trips and accompanying preparatory classes with the help of the other teachers at the school and other collaborators (a different nearby university, plus natural resource departments and clubs).
The goals of the project were to:
- Build greater interest among American Indian students in geomorphology and environmental studies and hence increase the commitment of American Indian students to STEM courses, majors, graduate degrees, and careers.
- Provide useful means for teachers to assess the impacts of the curriculum on their students' knowledge and skills about the focal uses of inquiry in watershed geomorphology.
- Provide a replicable model of productive collaboration and synergy among professional scientific researchers and professional educational researchers.
Project curriculum development has culminated in the design of templates and professional development guidelines. These templates and guidelines will make it possible for other educators to adapt the curricula from this project to other rivers in the United States and to do so in ways that integrates local Indian knowledge and perspectives.

We're a hawk on the issues.
Carly Fiorina: Opponents Must 'Prove to Me' They Watched My Non-Existent Fetus Videos
Carly Fiorina has been challenged by the media after they debunked her claim that videos existed showing a fully formed fetus being harvested for parts by Planned Parenthood.
Now the Republican presidential candidate is firing back at the media, telling them to prove to her that the tapes don't exist.
According to FactCheck.org and The Washington Post, the tapes do not exist and Fiorina's claims are based on an anecdote told by an anti-abortion group.
"Do you acknowledge what every fact checker has found?" Fox News host Chris Wallace asked the candidate on Sunday. "As horrific as the scene is, it was only described on the video by someone who claimed to have seen it. There is no actual footage of the incident you just mentioned."
"No, I don't accept that at all," Fiorina shot back. "I've seen the footage. And I find it amazing, actually, that all these supposed fact checkers in the mainstream media claim this doesn't exist, they're trying to attack the authenticity of the videotape, I haven't found anyone in the mainstream media who has ever watched these things."
"I mean, they will claim that somebody watched it for them," she continued. "I will continue to dare anyone who wants to continue to defund Planned Parenthood, watch the videotapes."
"And anyone who wants to challenge me first is going to have to prove to me that they watched it."

Kamelienblüte Schloss Pillnitz, Frühlingsanfang 201922 Mar
The camellia in Pillnitz is around 230 years old, almost 9 m high and 11 m in diameter. From February to April it is covered in carmine red flowers. During the cold season, the tree, which was planted in 1801 by court gardener Terscheck, is protected by a large glass house with stairs. During this time visitors can enter and view the tree from two levels.
In the mid 19th century Dresden became a European hot spot for the culture and breeding of camellias, and exported them to Russia as well as Italy and Spain. The camellia was viewed as a status symbol among European aristocrats, and Russians in particular, had a high demand for camellia flowers, which were exported in thousands to St. Petersburg and Moscow.
With growing popularity among Westerners, and contrary to its Far Eastern symbolism, the meaning of the flower changed. Thanks to popular literature, most prominently La dame aux camélias by Alexandre Dumas from 1848, as well as real life personae, such as the "Wiener Cameliendame", a dancer named Fanny Elßler, the camellia became erotizised!
On the other hand the longevity of the flowers, and particularly white camellia flowers, became associated with death and mourning and were woven into funeral wreaths.
The seeds of all known (about 200) camellia seeds yield a valuable oil, which smoothes the hair and juvenates the skin. The oil is rich in linolenic acid, and is also used in cooking and reduces cholesterine. Samurai rubbed camellia oil unto their sword blades to protect them from rust. The oil is also used as a natural surface finish for wood, as lube in watches and precision engineering and more.
Camellia wood is hard and durable and was used in the manufacture of weapons, different tools as well as kokeshi dolls. Up to the Edo period, a camellia rod was used in Buddhist ceremony to punish and drive out malign spirits. The wood also yielded a spark-free and, hence sought after charcoal.
Camellias are highly resistant against diseases and may contain different antibacterial and fungicidal agents.
Besides, the first Westerner to portrait a camellia flower was likely a Saxon gardener by the name George Meister. His book "Der Orientalisch-Indianische Kunst- und Lust-Gärtner" was published in 1692 in Dresden. In it he describes both the camellia as well as its crop plant, Camellia sinensis var. sinensis – the tea shrub!

Googles new web design receiving mix reviews
on Wednesday,May 11,2011 21:05
Google tested out a couple new web designs for its search result page this past weekend, and some individuals refer to the new look as ugly, according to the Browser Media.
Google's new design includes more white areas and leaves space between results. There are no more blue links, which may be the biggest complaint of regular Google visitors, but rather a blue dotted line that separates each of the results.
Some individuals believe the more space causes extra scrolling and switching of pages, which makes it harder to locate the information. However, others think that it makes the site less cluttered and easier to read.
According to Cnet, the new design seems cleaner, easier to navigate and has a sense of sophistication. They also believe that the new search page may be a way for Google to incorporate more advertising spaces that might actually be of some interest to the viewers.
None of these changes are permanent, however, Google has just been trying them out in order to receive feedback.

Just For You!
One of our local nursing homes got a hold of me and asked me if I would come and have the residents stamp some cards. I was so happy to oblige. It was fun coming up with a card that would work for other occasions other than Valentines. Not a lot of the residents had someone to send a card to for Valentines so I picked about three stamp sets that had different messages and I let each resident pick a message that spoke to them. A couple did add Valentine sayings but most of the residents picked just all occasion sayings. They absolutely had a great time. In fact, I was invited back to do cards in May. I am so excited to share my love of stamping with these residents. Just shows you - your never to old to learn how to stamp.

"This is not good," by Steve Sibson, Sibby Online, http://sibbyonline.blogs.com/sibbyonline/2005/week4/index.html#a0003360467, 26 January 2005.
I just relayed Mr. Sibson's views on abortion and added him to the blog-roll, but I disagree with him here
Looks like John Thune is joining in with the Democrats on Canadian drugs:
Today, Senators DeMint, David Vitter of Louisiana, Ken Salazar of Colorado and John Thune of South Dakota joined Representatives Gutknecht, Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, Anne Northup of Kentucky and Sherrod Brown of Ohio to roll out drug-import legislation. Vitter, DeMint, Thune, Gutknecht and Northup are Republicans.
Number one, the Democrats won't give him credit for changing his mind on this issue as that give him crap for changing his mind on private accounts for Social Security. Lets not forget the Democrats charging Thune with being a lobbyist for drug companies. Lets see if David Kranz has enough political acumen and objectivity to point that out.
Number two, this ploy of bringing back drugs from Canada will not lower the cost of drugs in the US. It will raise drug costs in Canada, or the Canadians will do what they normally do within their socialized medical system to control costs…ration what is sent back to America.
I disagree with Steve on both points. Thune doesn't care if Democrats give him credit for this move. It is made out of pricipal.
Second, this is a classic case of arbitrage. The U.S. drug market is much freer than the Canadian drug market. Canadians act as a free rider, allowing us to subsidize drug research and thus their drug use, and the pharmaceutical companies enable this. Canada would not be warping their market if the drug companies did not let them by agreeing to go along with these extortionary prices. The drug companies should not be protected from the consequences of their actions.
With cross border trade, the average U.S. price decreases as some American substitute Canadian drugs for American drugs. This is the natural price drug companies have to pay for agreeing to subsidize Canadian socialism. What will happen next? Some combination of
1. Canada rations their drugs even more, making their system even worse
2. Drug companies force Canada to accept higher prices
3. Drug companies stop selling to Canada
I'm fine with either of these consequences. The federal government should not be in the habit of enacting trade barriers to protect Canadian socialism. And U.S. companies should not expect federal relief when they agree to help socialism in a foreign land.
I could understand if this is about governments not interfering with free trade. Then we should also be against banning imports of Canadian beef.
It is about free trade. And we should also be against banning import of Canadian beef. But for now, I'm willing to take half a loaf instead of no bread at all.
Additionally, I have to wonder if Republican opposition to free trade in (prescription) drugs is collapsing. Thune was just named deputy whip. Either Thune just stabbed the party in the back, or it's no big deal. Let's hope it is the latter.

The Siskiyou Ice Rink in Mount Shasta
● By Jon Lewis
Grins and Glides
December 2017
By Jon Lewis
Main photo by Robert Renick
If there's one thing an ice rink needs, it's ice. Self-explanatory, certainly, but nonetheless, it was an issue at the Siskiyou Ice Rink last year when a compressor failed and the chiller – the refrigeration unit required to keep ice frozen – went on the fritz.
Mount Shasta's beloved outdoor rink was on the brink; its operators were preparing to shut it down ahead of this winter's season. But an anonymous donor, working through the Marin Community Foundation, stepped up to save the day.
After negotiating with the Mt. Shasta Recreation and Parks District and the volunteer Friends of the Rink, the mysterious benefactor contributed $95,000 – enough money to replace both compressors, bring the chiller back to like-new condition and upgrade the Zamboni ice-surfacing machine.
"It's looking good this year," says Mount Shasta resident Steve Bachmann, president of Friends of the Rink. "Everything is fixed. The Zamboni is fixed, the chiller is fixed … the rink is in the best shape it's ever been going into this season."
Mount Shasta City Council member John Stackfleth, who doubles as the rink manager (and weekend Zamboni operator), is optimistic the rink will top the 10,000-visitor mark this winter to set an attendance record. "We are looking forward to a full 14-week season," Stackfleth says.
At an impressive 85 feet wide and 200 feet long, the size of a regulation National Hockey League venue, the Siskiyou Ice Rink is the largest outdoor rink in California and the largest rink between San Jose and Medford, Ore.
As such, it attracts recreational skaters and hockey players from throughout the North State and during the holidays it's not unusual to encounter visitors from as far away as Switzerland and New Zealand.
"We get a lot of great support from the community and the North State," says Mike Rodriguez, head of the Mt. Shasta Recreation and Parks District. "We're very happy and excited to have this facility to provide all these recreational opportunities."
Those opportunities include adult and youth hockey programs that continue to gain in popularity. Mark Thibideau, a Forest Service firefighter from Dunsmuir who grew up playing hockey in Indiana, runs the Mt. Shasta Icebreakers. He expects more than 40 kids will be involved in the nonprofit hockey association this winter.
Beginners practice on Monday and Wednesday while intermediate and advanced players, under the guidance of Chris McGrew, gather on Tuesday and Thursday. Both groups scrimmage on Saturdays. "We also encourage the younger kids to come out on Sundays for pickup games and play with adults," Thibideau says.
The young coach, now in his fifth year with the Icebreakers, says it may be the "cheapest youth hockey program in the country." An entire family can sign up for about $250 and that includes the required gear and membership in U.S. Hockey. Weed resident Crystal Summers is not a hockey player but she enjoys watching. Even more so, she enjoys skating with her friends and siblings. A native of Southern California, she says she wasn't introduced to ice skating until she moved north. "The staff is always super helpful and cheery. I didn't know how to skate but a staff member showed me some tricks. It's not very hard."
Summers says the special events – the Turkey Bowl, visiting with Santa, the two-for-one Cheap Skate Night, Valentine's Day and the rest – add to the fun, but the best part of the rink is the chance to skate in the shadow of Mt. Shasta. "It's definitely beautiful," Summers says. During night skating sessions when the weather is clear, the stars are out and the moon is full, Rodriguez says it can be almost magical.
The Siskiyou Ice Rink came to life in 2000, thanks to the work of skating enthusiasts, local contributors and grants from the McConnell Foundation and the Ford Foundation of Roseburg, Ore. Originally built on a sand foundation, the rink was upgraded in 2004 with a cement pad, courtesy of another substantial grant from the McConnell Foundation.
The rink's biggest challenge is the lack of a roof to shield the ice from snow and rain, and a storm-shortened season in 2010-11 forced the parks district to close it. Friends of the Rink was formed to take over management of the rink and it reopened for the 2012-13 season.
The aforementioned anonymous donor visited the rink in 2013 and asked what was needed to ensure its viability. Bachmann says the Friends of the Rink offered a list of options and the donor chose to fund the expansion to a full-sized, NHL-caliber rink.
The $223,000 donation included new dasher boards, a concrete sidewalk and new wiring for the lighting and sound system. "They literally came in out of the blue and basically asked what we needed to make it successful," Bachmann says.
The support from philanthropists has been huge, but Stackfleth says the rink's biggest source of support may just be the mountain itself. Skaters from Siskiyou, Shasta and Tehama counties, and a surprising number from the Bay Area, have been flocking to the rink "because they like the outdoor feel of it and the great view of Mt. Shasta. It's definitely a very special location to skate. People just love coming out to do that."

In 2018 Eckhart experienced another year of solid growth across all facets of our company. Our AUTOCRAFT™ autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs), FLEXCHECK™ collaborative robots, 3D printing, and core ergonomic lift assist & secure tooling solutions all realized higher year-over-year sales. During the year, our geographic footprint expanded significantly as did our industry leading suite of advanced manufacturing solutions. With the help of technical partners, we continue to accelerate the adoption of Industry 4.0 based technology in factories all over the world.
To expand our capability and grow our suite of solutions we acquired an electrical controls leader, Logic Plus, serving the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and electrical power generation industries. To expand our core tooling capability and provide a higher level of service to key customer partners in underserved regions of the Midwest, we acquired Eagle Engineering. Eagle's manufacturing capability includes a pair of traveling column horizontal boring mills with a 53 foot by 12 foot machining envelope.
In the fall, with technology partner Humatics, we hosted an invitation-only event at our Advanced Technology Center to unveil Humatic's Spatial Intelligence Platform that enables unprecedented AGV position tracking capability to optimize interactions with people, product, and processes in assembly environments.
In January of this year, we hosted the MIT Leaders for Global Operations program as part of their 2019 Plant Trek; completed the acquisition of two new companies: PRI Robotics located in Plymouth, MN and Gasper Engineering located in North Vernon, IN; and launched a collaborative robot based Automated Taping System with 3M that increases productivity and eliminates ergonomic risks associated with the manual application of labels and tape in industrial environments.
Looking ahead, Eckhart will continue to differentiate itself as an Industry 4.0 leader. We will continue to prioritize partnerships with key customers who value the commitment and capability of our team and we'll promote investment to accelerate the development of advanced technologies that utilize autonomous guided vehicles, collaborative robots, and 3D printing.
Together, with you our customer, we will engineer advanced industrial solutions that enhance the quality of life on your line.
3M (NYSE:MMM), a global leader in consumer and industrial material sciences, and Eckhart, an Industry 4.0 solutions pioneer, announced the successful launch of the 3M™ Automated Taping System (ATS), a collaborative robot-based automated tape application system jointly developed by both companies for the automotive and industrial market.
The 3M ATS is designed and commercially available for innovative automotive and industrial customers that seek to automate manual processes involving 3M™ Attachment Tapes. The 3M ATS leverages industry standard robotic components and best practices to deliver a flexible, simple, and cost-effective solution. Both 3M and Eckhart believe significant opportunities exist in the automotive and industrial space to use the 3M ATS to apply adhesion promoters, create extended liner tabs, and precisely position cut-to-length tape or die cuts onto components.
In December of 2018, Ford Motor Company unveiled their Advanced Manufacturing Center which showcases Industry 4.0 technology including autonomous guided vehicles, collaborative robots, 3D printing, and virtual & augmented reality simulators. Eckhart employees were invited to be part of the Media Day event and demonstrate the automated material handling cell Eckhart designed, built, and integrated into the facility. The cell utilizes AGVs, automated conveyance, and a collaborative robot to demonstrate how Industry 4.0 technology can optimize employee safety, product quality, and productivity in an advanced manufacturing environment.
On Friday, February 8th Eckhart celebrated the Grand Opening of our Engineering Center in Reed City, MI. Stephanie Adkins and Regan Blissett from Northern Michigan's 9&10 News were on hand to cover all of the action live. An Industry 4.0 technology showcase of autonomous guided vehicles, collaborative robots, and 3D printing greeted guests. In addition, Reed City employees displayed UL certified panels designed and built for a key customer partner, Reed City Tool Group. Special thanks to Pere Marquette Bistro & Catering for serving a delicious breakfast buffet that brought smiles to everyone's faces!
Riley Black, daughter of Eckhart employee Brad Black, delivers donated items to area veterans
At Eckhart's Algonac, MI location operations supervisor Brad Black, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, working in partnership with the St Clair County Department of Veterans Affairs Office, led a companywide clothing drive to help bring warmth and comfort to area veteran shelters during the winter season. Brad and his team of volunteers collected coats, boots, hats, gloves, socks, and other winter apparel then personally delivered the donated items to area veterans. Thanks Brad for your efforts to help our country's veterans!
On January 10th Eckhart employees from several of our Michigan locations spent the day in Detroit with a group of junior high students volunteering with the Junior Achievement STEMworks program. Our employees worked in stations teaching the students about mass, friction, aerodynamics, design and 3D printing. Using the principles learned at each of the stations, students designed and built race cars using modeling clay. Students then separated into teams and competed against each other to see which team had the fastest race car! The day was a huge success and the students walked away with a better understanding of the many career opportunities in STEM.

Jan 21, 2016
It's been six months since he last did so, but Derek is back at his local shop, Collected Comics and Games, for another on-location episode. As usual, he talks with several of the shop customers and employees about the kinds of comics that they've been reading. And since it's the first month of the year, everyone used the opportunity to discuss the titles that stood out for them in 2015 as well as the comics that they're looking forward to in the coming months. For this recording Derek is joined by on-location episode regulars, Craig, Matt, and Chris, as well as store associate Stephanie and the shop's new manager, Sabrina. (Sabrina has been at Collected in Plano for a long time, but she's just recently become its manager.) So after getting reacquainted with the preliminaries, everyone jumps into a recap of the most notable comics from last year. It's no surprise that, for many, Marvel's Secret Wars and its many ancillary tales received the lion's share of commentary (along with the publisher's seemingly endless, and irritating, instances of renumbering and revoluming). But there were other outstanding 2015 titles for the crew, including Toil and Trouble, Invader Zim, Plutona, the new Archie, BKV's We Stand on Guard and Paper Girls, and the webcomic Ava's Demon. Derek then turns the discussion into a more forward-looking one, asking everyone what comics and events they are anticipating in the coming year. Many said that the new iteration of Marvel's Civil War is something that they're eagerly awaiting, but folks also mentioned Brian Wood's upcoming Black Road, Daniel Clowes's Patience, more Jem and the Holograms, Chapter House's Spirit Leaves, Beauties (whose first issue came out at the tail end of last year), and the continuation of Vertigo's new line of titles. TV and movie properties, especially the second season of Netflix's Daredevil and the new Lucifer series, also get a lot of love during the discussion. Overall, the guys at the shop covered a lot of ground, and everyone is looking forward to more of these monthly on-location episodes throughout the year!

Here's our ergonomic video review of the day. Check out "HAG Capisco Puls Ergonomic Saddle Office Chair Review."
The original Capisco chair was created over three decades ago by a designer who was inspired to recreate a saddle style chair that mimics the correct posture of a horseback rider. Thirty years later, the overall shape has not changed much. The chair features a saddle-style seat that is designed to be adjusted in height, depth, and resistance. You can also sit on this chair backward and sideways, much like a horseback rider can adjust to different seating directions. This chair creates a variety of sitting styles enabling active sitting. This chair is renowned for its comfortable plus-shaped backrest.

Dr. F. Victor Rueckl of Lakes Dermatology Announces Innovative Skin-Tightening Profound System by SyneronCandela
PR Newswire
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 15, 2018
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. F. Victor Rueckl is proud to announce the introduction of the revolutionary Profound treatment system to Lakes Dermatology of Las Vegas. Created by SyneronCandela, this innovative new treatment system offers proven results in fighting wrinkles, toning lax skin, and creating dermal volume in the lower face, jowls, and neck.
Profound is unique in that it creates three elements for greater skin tone and elasticity: elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. These three elements work together to create dermal volume and smoothness. This minimally invasive procedure works by using radiofrequency (RF) to maintain an optimal dermal temperature of 67°C through the device's micro-needles, along with Profound's temperature-based feedback algorithm. This temperature is maintained for 3 to 4 seconds. This process creates a vigorous wound healing response, resulting in an increase in elastin and collagen. Even better is that the treatment works regardless of skin impedance or thermal conditions.
Profound is an FDA-approved treatment that naturally creates dermal volume. It works on both the dermal and subcutaneous layers helping create a new structure underlying the skin. This revolutionary treatment offers clinically proven results and allows for complete control over depth, temperature, and time of treatment. Clinical trials have been outstanding as just a single treatment procedure has resulted in a 100% response for wrinkles and a 95% response for skin laxity.
Dr. F. Victor Rueckl of Lakes Dermatology notes, "Everyone at our clinic is excited to bring SyneronCandela's Profound treatment to our patients. This technology is the first to feature temperature-controlled radiofrequency to the deep dermis to naturally stimulate the production of elastin and collagen. Profound can be used at all skin levels, and its use helps turn back the clock on sagging skin, wrinkles, and skin laxity in the lower face, jowls, and neck.
Profound hits the sweet spot, temperature-wise, for a few seconds to begin an accelerated wound healing response. The clinical results have been very impressive. There's been a 95% positive response for skin laxity and a staggering 100% response for wrinkles. 47% of those having the Profound treatment reported a "significant to a dramatic improvement in global skin appearance. This is a minimally invasive procedure that results in a 37% improvement in skin laxity when compared to surgical facelifts. Just a single treatment offers proven results in which skin looks healthier, younger, and tighter."
