I purchased these skis last season as recreational racer and long distance driver. I was pleasantly surprised when they came in 20 grams or so lighter than posted on the Sportiva site. I had been using a Black Diamond Stigma 167 (similar specs but slightly heavier) and was hoping to get a nice rockered tip but more stiffness and performance. I was very underwhelmed by these skis in my 5-6 outings! I loved the specs but hated skiing them. They felt too soft and generally unresponsive. I also don't care for the attachment system.
Very possible that they just don't suit me and will suit others but I prefer the Stigma over this ski and don't really care for the Stigma either. I have skied the Dynafit Broad Peaks in a 167 for 10 outings so far and I have been very impressed.
The new Nanga Parbat might be the ski to own in this class....
Summary- Nice lightweight ski that looks good on paper. Look elsewhere if you want an 80 waist do it all ski.

Opening Day is warmly regarded in North American tradition as the beginning of a new Major League Baseball season. It falls annually around the beginning of April, signaling such a generational feeling of rebirth for some that the writer Thomas Boswell once penned a book titled, Why Time Begins On Opening Day.[1] Many feel that the occasion represents a newness or a chance to forget last season, in that the 30 major league clubs and their millions of fans begin with 0-0 records.
For generations, Opening Day has arrived amid pageantry. In Cincinnati, Ohio, home of the sport's first professional team, an annual parade marks an unofficial "city holiday" with young and old alike taking the day off to cheer on the Reds. For decades, the first pitch of every major league season officially took place in Cincinnati. Although the past decade has brought the introduction of a Sunday night opening game on ESPN as well as the staging of season-opening series in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Japan, the ensuing Monday brings Opening Day to numerous major league ballparks and the game that day in Cincinnati (the only team that always opens the season at home) is still observed throughout baseball as the "traditional opener." Opening Day is a state of mind as well, with countless baseball fans known to recognize this unofficial holiday as a good reason to call in sick at work or "play hooky" from school and go out to the ballpark for the first of 162 regular season games. Each team's home opener serve as the only regular season games during the year in which the entire rosters of both teams as well as coaches and clubhouse staff are introduced to the crowd (for the rest of the year, ballparks only introduce the starting lineups).
Hall of Fame pitcher Early Wynn, who played for the Washington Senators, Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox, once said: "An opener is not like any other game. There's that little extra excitement, a faster beating of the heart. You have that anxiety to get off to a good start, for yourself and for the team. You know that when you win the first one, you can't lose 'em all."[1]
Opening Day extends throughout the sport of baseball, to hundreds of minor league baseball franchises as well as to college, high school, youth league fields and in areas far beyond North America. Similarly, there are opening-night performances for new Broadway plays.
Prior to Opening Day, the teams' managers have to decide the starting pitchers for the Opening Day game. This spot is usually given to the teams' ace pitchers, and is usually considered an honor for a pitcher to start on Opening Day. In turn, the pitchers who start on Opening Day are usually recognized throughout the baseball world as their teams' best starting pitchers.
History Edit
There is a rich history of special events that have occurred on Opening Day, most notably a 1940 no-hitter thrown by Cleveland pitcher Bob Feller, ultimately a Hall of Famer. It remains the only no-hitter in Opening Day history.
Opening Day has been synonymous with United States presidents as well. On April 14, 1910, baseball enthusiast William Howard Taft attended the home opener in Washington D.C., becoming the first U.S. President to throw out the first pitch to start a season. Eleven sitting U.S. presidents have done the same since then. One standout, Harry S. Truman, showcased his ambidextrous talent when he threw out ceremonial first pitches with both his right and left arm in 1950.[1] On April 4, 1994, Bill Clinton inaugurated the Cleveland Indians' new ballpark, Jacobs Field, with the first pitch.
The great Ted Williams was a .449 hitter in openers, with three home runs and fourteen runs batted in during fourteen such games. "Teddy Ballgame" also boasted at least one hit in every Opening Day game in which he appeared.
On April 4, 1974, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves ignited the Opening Day crowd in Cincinnati with his first swing. It resulted in his 714th career home run, tying Babe Ruth on Major League Baseball's all-time list. Aaron would finish his career with 755 homers.
Hall of Famer Walter Johnson was arguably the greatest ballplayer in Opening Day history. In 14 season openers for the Washington Senators, the "Big Train" pitched a record nine shutouts. His two most famous starts include a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia A's in 1910 and a 1-0 marathon victory while battling the A's Eddie Rommel for 15 innings.
On April 4, 2005, Dmitri Young of the Detroit Tigers hit three home runs in his team's opener against the Kansas City Royals at Detroit's Comerica Park. He became the third major leaguer to homer three times on Opening Day, following the Toronto Blue Jays' George Bell in 1988 and the Chicago Cubs' Tuffy Rhodes in 1994.
The St. Louis Cardinals were the first major league team to open the season with a night game, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 on April 18, 1950.
The longest Opening Day game in major league history was a 15-inning affair played at Cleveland Stadium on April 19, 1960. The Detroit Tigers defeated the Cleveland Indians 4-2.
The first major league team to open its season with a doubleheader was the Oakland Athletics. They hosted the Chicago White Sox for two games on April 7, 1971, with Chicago winning both times (6-5 and 12-4, respectively).
Hall of Famer Tom Seaver has started the most Opening Day games in Major League history, starting the Opener 16 times for the New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds, and Chicago White Sox.

I left out the carrots and added baby corns instead. One of these days I'll remember I don't like water chestnuts and remember to leave them out. Otherwise good recipe. I suggest if you plan on reheating it at all, undercooking the beef that you plan on reheating. otherwise it gets tough.

So, while I was winding up my trip in the Holy Land, I got sick. Really sick. And I'm just now getting over it. It has made my traveling and life-re-entering difficult! Finally feeling better. But. While I was sick at the hotel for two days, I found time to interview myself about my role overseas. 🙂 It's supposed to be funny!
Tag: sick
Vol. 2 (continued)
Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em
Why's it so hard to be nice to ourselves?
I'm pretty hard on myself.
I just had a major surgery (last Thursday) and I'm expecting miracles. I expect that I should be out of pain, off oxycodone, totally withdrawn from all pain meds and on my feet doing laundry and keeping house. In my wildest post-op fantasy, I should be holding down a job, fixing dinner every night and dressing for success all damn day. Also, adopting orphans and feeding the homeless.
When I write it down, it sounds ridiculous.
I haven't had a job in 6 months. I've been sick for over 4 years. I've been recovering from weight loss surgery for just over a month and gallbladder removal for just under a week. I can barely hold down food at this point, let alone a job. Calm down, Mother Teresa!
I guess I'm impatient because I know how long I've been sick and how much I want to be better. My goal is be a productive human being again. Stop wasting time on being sick. Be a better wife, mother and human. To serve others and have purpose. To lose weight overnight and be a rockstar tomorrow. I'm ready for all the glory without any of the work, pain, time. Honestly, I want to take away the burden of a sick home from my husband and daughter. Bottom line. I feel so selfish.
Today was a success because I am almost 48 hours out from my last oxycodone pill after having taken them every day for over a month. My nausea is subsiding and I'm able to stand up straight without pain. My weight has gone back down to 399.8 and I'm doing laundry by myself. I am not exactly following my post-op diet but I am eating food that I can stomach.
I can only have a few bites at a time. I'm supposed to have nothing but protein, but when ur sick? Protein sounds awful! Chicken soup/veggie soup/broth is about the only protein I can stomach and even so, how much soup can a person handle? When you're nauseous, ever heard of BRAT? Bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. I've been having a small piece of toast throughout the day for a coupla days because it's all I can keep down. I can only eat a few bites, I over-chew and it stays down. Breaking the rules, but being nice to myself. Still losing weight, of course, because I'm barely eating anything.
Important not to make a habit out of bread. Also, trying to keep liquids down. That's the most important thing I can do right now. Stay hydrated.
Goals for today:
Drink liquids.
Eat a little.
Stay off oxy!
Do a tiny bit of laundry.
OH! And be nice to myself. Check.
As a sidenote: I wish the nurses and doctors during my recovery had mentioned the oxy-nausea thing. Instead they told me to return to a soft food diet, not "get off oxy asap!" It's not food, it's the drug. Pretty sure. Because what they thought was an ulcer is now almost assuredly a side effect of the oxy. Glad they listened to me finally, took out my gallbladder and saw through the EGD that I did not have an ulcer. They prescribed carafate for my "ulcer" that they thought I had (before they saw the EGD results) and I nearly puked on that med. Stopped taking it immediately. But now I have a very expensive script that I only used once. I have resolved to care for myself the best way I know how…listen to my body! And fight for myself.

- Since video track has been copied (-c copy) PTS, DTS and all timecodes of video track must be the same (timebase apart);
- But...this is not what I've found;
- Run ffprobe -show_frames test.mkv > mkv.txt and ffprobe -show_frames test.mp4 > mp4.txt;
- Open the .txt files previously generated;
- Extract pkt_dts_time fields of video track;
- For mp4.txt you'll find (diffs in ms on side):
pkt_dts_time=0.000000 pkt_dts_time=0.040000 40 pkt_dts_time=0.080000 40 pkt_dts_time=0.120000 40 pkt_dts_time=0.160000 40 pkt_dts_time=0.200000 40 ...
- For mkv.txt you'll find (diffs in ms on side):
pkt_dts_time=0.000000 pkt_dts_time=0.061000 61 pkt_dts_time=0.101000 40 pkt_dts_time=0.141000 40 pkt_dts_time=0.160000 19 pkt_dts_time=0.221000 61 ...
As you can see, DTS in .mkv is not regular like in .mp4. With old ffmpeg builds (2015-02-03 i.e.), it was.

comment:7 Changed 2 years ago by mkver
This is a duplicate of #4536: The video is 25p and uses two reordering frames; an edit list makes sure that the pts of the first video sample is zero while its dts is -80ms. The audio meanwhile has an edit list that shows that indicates that the first aac frame is encoder delay, i.e. the actual first frame (that should not be output) has pts=dts=-1024/48000=-21.3333...ms. Given that negative pts in Matroska aren't allowed, ffmpeg shifts them, but the code for shifting is in write_frame and the smaller the dts the earlier the packets get to this function. The first two packets that are fed to write_frame are the first two video frames in coding order -- they have pts of 0 and 160ms respectively which doesn't require shifting because they are already positive. But the next packet according to dts is the first audio packet which has a negative pts and therefore everything is shifted by to make it non-negative. And "everything" only means everything that comes next, the first two frames (in coding order) aren't affected, because they have already been dealt with. So frame 0 and 4 have not been shifted and so the durations of frames 0 (21ms too long), 3 (21ms too short) and 4 (21ms too long) are not what they ought to be.

Who doesn't love a strong cup of coffee? If you are anything like me… You have been drinking coffee for years. Coffee helped me through all-nighters and classes that never seemed to end. In fact, coffee was included in the "thank you" caption of your graduation post right after thanking the family. Yes. It is that serious.
Coffee was life. Life was coffee. A day without coffee was simply canceled. Even if there wasn't coffee available at home, uni or work there was always a starbucks nearby to get my fix. And I would get my fix. (Wow haha just realized how much I sound like an addict who would do anything for a good cup.)
Fast forward a few months later, to me having my morning cup when I come across a Buzzfeed video that talks about the relationship between anxiety and coffee. Click here to watch that video. Within the video a psychology professor is asked the question: Can coffee cause anxiety? She answers; Yes, coffee not only stimulates existing anxiety and anxiety attacks but also independently can causes anxiety. And suddenly it all made sense.
Over the last few months I noticed that I would constantly feel anxious. I would wake up happy and in a good mood but as soon as a had my morning cup I would just feel anxious and heaviness in my chest. Most of the time there was no change in my surroundings. For example, I would be watching a tv show and be in a great mood. After having my coffee still watching the same tv show, I would feel super anxious and heaviness on my chest. Some of the days I would also be irritable for no good reason. Over the years I have heard people mention anxiety and coffee here and there. But it never occurred to me to research it or to understand it. I didn't want my love for coffee to be tainted in anyway. (Denial is the new ignorance haha)
After watching that Buzzfeed video it started to make sense. However, I was still sceptic.. got to see it to believe it! The thought process was; I have been drinking coffee for years and I was fine. This has to be complete bullsh*t. Boy oh boy, was I in denial. As an experiment I decided to quit coffee and other caffeine drinks, cold turkey. I stopped drinking soft drinks years ago so that wasn't hard at all.
The first day without any coffee wasn't too bad. I decided to replace the coffee with water and made sure to be hydrated throughout the day. The second day however was hell. Absolute hell. I had such a bad headache, couldn't think straight, my eyes were very sensitive to light. I curled up on the couch with all the curtains closed, popped a Panadol and watch tv shows all day. I also noticed even though I had a good 7/8 hours of sleep throughout the night, I was still very tired and napped frequently. This was odd because I am not a nap person. Well I was that week.
The third and fourth days were similar to the second day and I almost cracked. It was just torture. Why the hell did I think this was a good idea? Maybe, I shouldn't have done it cold turkey but gradually over a span of few weeks. Maybe, I was just going to be a coffee addict for the rest of my life. I realized that I really loved coffee, but I didn't realize the extent of my coffee addiction. I knew it was bad but didn't understand how addicted I was to coffee. In the past I'd joke sometimes, that if I could get an IV coffee drip I would be the happiest coffee addict you were ever going to meet. (smh)
It's been little over a month now. I haven't cracked yet. Most of the cravings are gone. The anxiety is fully gone. I haven't felt the anxiousness and the heaviness on my chest since then. Even on my bad days there is a range of other emotions but no suffocating anxiety. I feel a lot better now and that motivates me to keep this up. Just feel a lot happier recently and just lighter. Like a weight has been taken of my chest. I think this due to a combination of things. Mostly I think it's because of me putting in more work into my mental health and the lack of coffee. I wasn't aware of how triggering the coffee was, I'd become so use to feeling like sh*t all the time. Not drinking coffee really has made a huge difference for me.
One thing I have noticed since i stopped drinking coffee is that I am obsessed with cold drinks. I keep craving them. it's wasn't just the coffee. It was also the experience of drinking a nice cold drink and having something to sip on while driving or watching a tv show. So far, replaced my addiction to iced vanilla lattes with a frozen hot chocolate milk. Currently my obsession is frozen white hot coco and before that it was frozen milk chocolate hot coco as a replacement.
On the days I want to have a cheat day I remind myself how much anxiety I felt when I was drinking coffee daily. That is how I have been able to stay off the coffee for this long. It's hard though. On somedays I play devil's advocate trying to convince myself that one coffee won't hurt. Still haven't done that yet because I know I have no self-control when it comes to coffee. Just worried I'll go back to my old habits. Might be just easier to just lay of all caffeinated drinks all together.
Haven't had tea in a while for the same reasons. Although, I must say that I have no idea how tea affects my anxiety. Wasn't aware of the anxiety let alone the effects of tea. Just worried that it might affect me negatively or I get back to being a regular tea drinker which then evolves into coffee. Despite the caffeine I found tea to be very soothing. I'd always say that a hot shower and a good cup of tea feel like an emotional hug you didn't know you needed. Is that just me?
This was a journey haha. While, it was really hard to just quit cold turkey… Especially the first week. I am really glad I did it. I feel a lot better for it. Have you ever tried to quit coffee? What was your experience like? Do you have anxiety? Do you think coffee makes your anxiety worse? Please leave a comment down below! I would love to hear your story!
Until next time. Peace.

6. When can I claim compensation?
If you have been injured physically or psychologically by a healthcare professional's negligence, you may be able to claim compensation. The injury needs to be serious enough to make it worthwhile paying the costs of making a claim. It is probably not worth taking legal action if your injury:
- is fairly minor and you recover within a few days or weeks; and
- has caused you little or no financial loss; for example, if you've still been paid despite having time off work
If you are not sure whether to try to claim compensation, get advice from a clinical negligence solicitor - many solicitors offer free initial advice. You can also get free advice from AvMA.
It is important to understand that a clinical negligence action is only about claiming compensation. The courts cannot:
- discipline a healthcare professional by, for example, stopping a GP from practising;
- force a hospital to change how it works; or
- make a doctor apologise.
If compensation is not your main aim, then you should ask for advice about what other action to take. See 'What action can I take?'.
What if my problem was not caused by a doctor?
You can claim compensation for clinical negligence against any healthcare professional or service that hasn't given you the right care or treatment, if this has injured you. This includes:
- health visitors;
- nurses;
- midwives;
- physiotherapists;
- osteopaths;
- mental health care teams;
- laboratory services;
- dentists;
- medical or dental technicians;
- opticians; and
- the ambulance service.
You can claim whether a professional was employed by the NHS or was treating you privately.

Overy admits Brondesbury are in three-way battle to stay up
PUBLISHED: 16:00 26 July 2018
©TGS Photo tgsphoto.co.uk +44 1376 553468
Harman Drive outfit welcome Ealing in league on Saturday
Brondesbury skipper James Overy admits the battle to stay up in the Middlesex County Premier Division is down to three teams ahead of hosting title-chasing Ealing on Saturday.
The Harman Drive outfit sit ninth in the table, seven points clear of bottom-club Highgate and 11 back from Twickenham in eighth.
All three will be battling hard over the final six games of the season to collect enough points to finish outside of the bottom two.
And Overy remains confident Brondesbury have the quality to drag themselves out of the relegation zone before the season is out.
"It's down to three teams now in the relegation battle, but we have to play both Twickenham and Highgate before the season is over so it's still in our hands," said Overy.
"If we play to our potential, then I have every faith we can stay up and avoid relegation.
"There is still a long way to go with plenty of cricket still to be played, so a lot can change over the next few weeks.
"Where we finish the season is where we deserve to be and hopefully that is in eighth place."
Brondesbury face Ealing off the back of an eight-wicket defeat at Hampstead last Saturday.
Overy chose to bat after winning the toss, but saw his team dismissed for just 129 inside 32 overs.
The skipper opened the innings and carried his bat on his way to a top score of 48, but says he was gutted to see his colleagues falter at the other end.
"It was frustrating to watch the wickets go down as I felt it wasn't a bad deck to bat on," he added.
"We could have applied ourselves a little better with the bat, which would have helped us get a better score.
"I felt that with the wicket being flat, we needed a score of around 280 and Hampstead were professional in the way they chased it down."
As well as welcoming Ealing this weekend, Saturday sees Brondesbury host their Ladies Day event.
For just £10, there will be plenty of fizz and food on offer for the women in attendance, and Brondesbury will hope to treat them to a good game as well.

Hindu extremists attack church in Bihar
A mob of extremists shouting 'stop forceful conversion' and other slogans attacked a Church in Bazidpur in the State of Bihar yesterday (19 March) as their regular Sunday worship service drew to a close.
The attack on Mahanaim Church which has 150 members took place at 3pm as a mob barged through the main gate of the Church.
"Sensing trouble we locked the church door from the inside and started to frantically call the local police, said Pastor Christopher Bhonsle who has ministered in the church for the last 10 years..
There were about 20 Christians inside the Church along with the Pastor at the time of the attack. The Hindu extremists belonged to the Bajrang Dal (an extremist Hindu organisation that forms the youth wing of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) family of organisations) demanded that the congregation open the church door. They claimed that 'conversion activity' was taking place inside the church.
"We opened the gates of the Church only after the police arrived but we were very disappointed as the police heard the attackers first and were biased
towards them," said Bhonsle.
The police heard the story of the extremists and then recorded the names, addresses and contact numbers of all the Christians present. The police, according to Bhonsle were in favour of the extremists and "did whatever the Hindu extremists asked them to do".
There were pictures and video recordings made by Christians as a proof of the threats given by the Hindu mob, wherein they are clearly heard saying, "we will not allow this foreign religion in our country and if you continue doing this, we will kill you."
The police entered inside Bhonsle's private house and started to search his house without any 'search warrant'.
"They searched every nook-and-cranny of my house, expecting to find some foreign currency. They devastated my house completely, not leaving even a flower vase unturned," said Pastor Bhonsle.
"The search went-on for an hour and when the police could not find anything, they started to scold me for conducting Church. The members of Bajarang Dal were videotaping the entire operation," he added.
After they had left, the police returned to Bhonsle's home around 8pm and allegedly told Bhonsle that they purposefully 'scolded' him in the presence of the Hindu mob to appease the extremists.
He said there is fear all over the Begusarai district amongst the Christian community. He declared: "We know that the police would side the Hindu extremists and we have no say in whatever happens in the future."

Let's face it. You can't get a much better dining companion than a rescued alpine goat. Like this guy. He is happy to share your cookies, crackers, sandwich, fruit. Pretty much everything. Which is one of many good reasons to head out to the Day at the Farm on August 17th from noon to 4pm at Burleigh Manor Animal Sanctuary in Ellicott City. This special day is hosted by the sanctuary and your friends at Baltimore Vegan Drinks. Don't be scared by the "vegan drinks" thing – this isn't a drinking event (though you're welcome to BYOB). It's a family-friendly day where EVERYONE can enjoy their time on the farm together. Especially the goats. Tickets for children are FREE; adults pay $15 each and 100% of that money is for the animals.
In addition to farm tours at noon and 3pm, there is a lot of other fabulous-ness happening! You are invited to pack your own veg-friendly picnic and BYOB to eat and lounge on the estate lawn. There will be a volleyball court set up, as well as a jumping castle for children. (Ahem… did you notice we recently hooked you up in a post a few days ago – with loads of picnic ideas! What a coincidence!)

Shop for later, too. Relay Foods will be set up to introduce folks to their local, organic and tasty produce and vegan goods. Personally, we can't get enough of the locally made tofu and veggie burgers they have! YUM! Did we mention Relay also delivers to your door?
We've saved the best for last. Cuz Gene Baur is coming! Yep, the man himself will be there! He's gonna be at Burleigh, hanging out and taking a tour. You can get him to sign a copy of his book, Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food, as well – buy your copy at the event, so all funds go to the animals!
If you just can't get enough Gene Baur at the end of the day, join him and the owners of Burleigh for a VIP Dinner. It's $100 a plate and ALL proceeds from this event also go directly to the animals. The vegan, wheat-free meal will be prepared by Chef Sarah Dunn and includes – get ready for this – Chilled Carrot Bisque garnished with chili infused oil, cashew cream, and chives; Veggie Napoleon on a Lentil Cake with Sautéed Greens and Sweet Potato Mash, garnished with Fried Basil Leaf, Roasted Red Pepper Ribbons, Toasted Coconut, and Balsamic Glaze.

Bite into that! Eurkea!
What's that? You're still on the fence? You need to get your ticket right now for a Day at the Farm with Baltimore Vegan Drinks at Burleigh Manor. If all these awesome activities don't inspire you, perhaps the residents of the farm will…

And the Gene Baur VIP Dinner is at 5:30pm, $100 per plate; 8 seats remain. Don't miss this one folks, it's going to be amazing!

Well, this Cinco de Mayo celebration didn't go over very well. A Colorado high school Spanish teacher was put on administrative leave after photos and videos surfaced of students on Friday smashing a piñata with a picture of President Donald Trump on the front.
According to Fox News, Roosevelt High School students in Weld County School District were seen in the images and footage taking a bat to the piñata as others looked on and screamed words of encouragement.
"He's been defeated," the caption of one photo reportedly read.
On Saturday the Weld County School District announced that the teacher involved had been placed on paid administrative leave. The school district declined to name the instructor but said that it will launch an investigation starting Monday.
"This was an incredibly disrespectful act that does not reflect the values of Roosevelt High School or the school district," the superintendent, Martin Foster, said in the statement that was posted online.

Do you have someone in your home that is a lover of all things Star Wars? If so then this Storm Trooper T-Shirt will be the perfect project for you! My son asked me to make him a Storm Trooper T-Shirt for an upcoming Disneyland trip we are going on. I made him and my husband one. I was so excited to make this for them.
Storm Trooper T-Shirt
This post contains affiliate links.
Here is what you will need:
- White T-Shirt
- Vinyl Cutting maching (I used my Cricut)
- Black Heat Transfer Vinyl
- Iron
- Storm Trooper SVG Image
You can google storm trooper SVG images and several will come up. Save the file to your computer and use it on your cutting machine. There are many Tutorials outs there on how to use SVG images. At first I wasn't sure how and I googled it and within minutes I was cutting out my Storm Trooper. The image I used came from The Craft Chop – She gives you the option of donating to her site (which I did) for using her SVG file. Cut the image on Black Heat Transfer Vinyl. When cutting be sure to put the shiny side of the vinyl down (at least that is how it works with my Cricut)
Pic the negative pieces off your vinyl. There will be the Storm Trooper mask and then also the eyes and mouth piece. I first put the main head/mask piece on the shirt.
Have your Iron turned on and ready to go on a medium to medium high setting. I cover the image with another piece of cloth and iron over everything for about 10 seconds. I then let it cool off and do it again. However, the second time around I go a bit slower and stay over each section for about 10 seconds. Cool off the fabric and gently remove the plastic backing. While you are removing it if you come to a section that is not adhered onto your shirt just iron it some more until it is ready.
Then add your eyes and mouth pieces to the shirt and repeat the ironing process.
Now you have a fun Storm Trooper T-Shirt that the Star Wars fans in your family will love! Mine turned out perfect and was so easy to make. My son just loves it!
I made my husband one as well. However, his was on a darker shirt – so for his I also needed to cut out an extra white piece in white heat transfer vinyl. Here is a picture of his shirt – I will have to get a final picture of his for you in a bit.
Now that I have started making shirts for the kids they keep asking for more designs and I am loving it!

Two-factor authentication to be required for all .UK and gTLD registrars
Nominet is committed to ensuring the .UK domain and gTLDs it operates are secure and trusted. Following the successful launch of optional two-factor authentication (2FA) for registrars accessing Online Services, in 2014, 2FA will be mandatory for all registrars from 9 May 2017. Other systems and services such as EPP and DAC are not affected.
2FA improves security as an intruder would need to have access to the device where it is installed, as well as know the account password. This increased security will help reduce the risk of DNS hijacking or confidential information being compromised.
2FA is free and Nominet has used RFC 6238 for implementing 2FA which is based on time based passcodes. The Google Authenticator and Authy apps are widely used and are recommended by Nominet.
Further information on account security for registrars and how to set up 2FA is available here.

Awesome New Spy Gadgets
With the latest Bond film, Quantum of Solace, being released recently, here are some great spy gadgets that will satisfy anyones spy fantasies. Unfortunately they are not cheap things to buy.
Land Rover Defender 10 (£67,850) – This car may not look wonderful, however, it could take a punch, or well anything you want to throw at it really. The beast of a car has armour plating that can protect you from 5.56mm and 7.62 mm rounds. Plus with bullet proof glass, you can be sure that no bullets will hit you on the school run. If you're concerned about the odd grenade or mine, fear not, the bottom of the car is grenade and anti personnel mine proof.
Tornado Night Vision Goggles Generation 2 + (£3,162.50) – Although they may be pricey for some goggles, you won't be walking into lamp posts at night with these things on. These goggles come with 2 eye pieces and one night vision tube, they really are state of the art. Also, if you fancy zooming in, there are different lenses available. All of this runs on 2xAA batteries and comes with a bag to keep it in.
Taser C2 (£248) – This one is for non UK residents really as it is illegal in the UK, unless you're a policeman. The Taser C2 is a stun gun that allows you to zap your target by shooting a C2 cartridge at them. The powerful lithium battery is good for 50 uses, plus the whole thing fits in your pocket.
Spy Camera Glasses (£89.99) – Some covert cameras now, they are normal sun glasses, however, these come with a 1.3 megapixel camera built in. The sunglasses also include 1 GB of memory which can store up to 1000 pictures. That's not all, you can listen to your favorite music while stalking someone with the built in earphones.
Every James Bond wannabe should have some of these gadgets. The only problem is that you won't look like 007 driving in the Land Rover.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Atop
Feeling lazy so I'll take the easy way out this week and choose another photo from Edinburgh for this week's challenge, atop. This is a fairly regular view from "atop" one of the hills surrounding Edinburgh. Although it is a normal view for postcards, you can understand why it is popular as it gives you a nice vantage point for the primary sights of the city. In particular, the clocktower on the right centre of the photo is on the beautiful Balmoral Hotel, to the right of that is the Scott memorial (to Sir Walter Scott), and to the left is the Edinburgh Castle high on another hill. I normally don't like to take views from above cities (skyscrapers or observation towers) because they seldom provide a view into the character of the city. I think this view is different in that it is not high enough to hide the character of the main buildings and it provides a nice overview of where everything is……
I should mention that the memorial in the foreground is to Dugald Stewart, a Scottish mathematician and philosopher of the 17 and 1800s.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Wish
I hate to climb on the church related responses to this challenge but we recently had the opportunity to do some photography in and around St. Giles cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was a rainy couple of days so I was able to get some external and internal shots of this beautiful church which dates back to the 1100's and was rebuilt in the late 1300s after a fire destroyed much of the original structure. I am not normally drawn to take lots of photos of cathedrals but I found this one to be very photogenic and we also used it as a refuge to stay out of the downpour.
I took this first photo not long after we arrived in Edinburgh. There were actually quite a few people on the rainy streets but this long exposure "ghosted" most of them out of the picture. Even though the photo was taken over a period of about 50 seconds, the two ladies in the foreground kept chatting for the entire time so they were captured along with the cathedral. I liked the context they added so I didn't reshoot the picture or try to remove them in processing……
The next photo is of one of the main chambers of the church. The lighting was low but dramatic and yielded just enough color to make the stone building seem warm on this stormy day. Any time I am in a historic place of worship such as this one, I cannot help but to try and imagine the different ways the people lived during the lifetime of the building and how their hopes and dreams differed over time while at the same time remaining fairly constant in theme.

Chosen to echo a fine work by a fine West Australian writer, Randolph Stow, To the Islands, winner of the Miles Franklin in 1958.
To the Highlands is a brutal tale of love and madness set in 1968 on a Pacific Island before it gains its independence from Australia. It follows the after-school life of Jack Muir (the boy from Boy on a Wire) as he stumbles into manhood and discovers racism, addiction, a sick colonial community and that he cannot let go the desire for revenge.
The edits are complete.
The manuscript is being typeset.
The author is nervous.
The marketing program is in early planning.
Fremantle Press will release it all in August this year.

How to Determine What Causes High CPU Usage in Windows XP
High CPU usage on a business computer leads to sluggish performance as there is not enough processing power to run all the programs you have active simultaneously. You can lower CPU usage by closing down non-vital programs or processes that are running in the background. Sometimes the cause of the problem is a single process that is tying up the processor. To determine what is placing such a load on your CPU, use the Task Manager program, which is included with Windows XP.
Right-click on an empty section of your Windows taskbar and then click "Task Manager." Alternatively use the "Ctrl-Shift-Esc" shortcut to open the Task Manager. Press "Ctrl-Alt-Del" and then click "Task Manager" if you are running a program and cannot see the taskbar.
Click the "Processes" tab to see a list of all the processes that are currently active on your computer. The CPU usage is displayed at the bottom of the Task Manager screen.
Click "Show processes from all users" if there are other users logged in to the computer, as it could also be an application running under their profile that is causing the high CPU usage.
Monitor the "CPU" section to see what program is using the most resources. The name of the process as well as the user name of the person whose profile it is running under is shown to the left of the CPU column.
Close the application that is listed as using the CPU resources and check to see if the CPU usage shown at the bottom of the Task Manager window decreases. If you are unable to close the application manually, left-click the process name and then click "End Process."
- Right-click the name of the process and select "Properties" if you are not familiar with the application. The "Details" tab will show you the product name so you can determine what it is and close it if necessary. For unknown processes, run an anti-virus and malware scanner, as these malicious programs can also use a lot of your processing power.

We had so much fun this past weekend at Disney's Animal Kingdom. We went for the purpose of working on Big Sister's photography skills (more on that later!). As we were watching the monkeys, I realized what a great opportunity we had to work on location concepts with little W.
I wanted him to be able to find the little monkey in the cage so I said "look! The monkey is in the house." "He's in the house?" replied Little W. Then only seconds later, the little monkey was on the rope or in the tree or near the ground or any other number of places in the cage.
Can you see him in the picture below? He is on the tree branch :)
As the little monkey swung and jumped from spot to spot we were able to practice saying the location concepts. Plus, he got good exposure to me saying the different location concepts. It was also a great opportunity for Dad to work with Little W on his location concepts. This is a simple task for any parent, grandparent or babysitter to do!
He also got to hear how there are differences between in and on. He's in the house. He's on the house! Being able to practice that a lot is very good for his language development plus it's so much fun to watch the little monkey run and swing all over the place!
This was an activity we were able to do with a lots of different animals at the zoo. For the animals that moved more slowly like alligators, I could ask him to tell me where the animal was and give him the time to think about it and then respond. For animals that move more quickly like monkeys or birds or baby gorillas we were able to practice quickly saying and repeating location concepts.
What you CAN DO!
For little ones, ages nine months to 18 months, just pointing to the animals and saying where they are is a good start. From 18 months to about three years old, letting them hear the location concept in a prepositional phrase "in the… " or "on the…" is a great language skill to be exposing them to!
Also for 2 1/2 to 3 year olds, it would be a good time to work on having the child use the prepositional phrase with some help from you. Maybe you say it and they repeat it. "The alligator is on the sand. Where is the alligator?"
And 3 to 5-year-olds can work on using the prepositional phrase independently. You'll ask where the animals are and they will tell you!
Don't make it a drill-style practice. Make it fun and your child will learn!
I hope you take your child to the zoo and have fun talking about location concepts. If you do, send me a picture of your child or you showing where the animal is located!! I'd love to see you guys having fun, practicing language!

Posted by: Shaba Nabi18 December 2015
I encourage all of you to read the seminal article by Mathers and Hodgkin in the BMJ published back in 1989. In 'Gatekeeper and the wizard', they look at GPs as the sentry within a well-funded, robust primary care system, preventing the collapse of secondary care.
Times have moved on. Consultation rates in primary care have become unsustainable as our funding is still based on capitation rather than activity. GPs are an extremely precious resource so is it any wonder we question the wisdom of being used to rubber-stamp a sick note for flu or write a letter for AN Other?
The truth is, we need gatekeepers for the gatekeepers if we are to continue functioning in the current funding model. And there's the rub.
We will become a cross between a community geriatrician and a medical ethics adviser
In order to remain sustainable in the NHS, the entire model of general practice as we know it has to be turned on its head. No longer can this model be delivered in independent practice units that engender ownership and continuity of care. Instead, the direction of travel is for GPs to work in large integrated care organisations as 'primary care consultants'.
Patients will not be able to see us until they pass through several layers of telephone and clinical triage from other healthcare professionals. All the back pains and joint problems will be managed by an orthopaedic physiotherapist. All the mental health problems will be seen by a community psychiatric nurse or psychologist. All the minor illness will be treated by a nurse practitioner or pharmacist.
Patients will be navigating their way through the system like a Monopoly board. They may land on 'go to jail' and start again if they are triaged to the wrong health professional. Or they may get a 'chance' card and advance directly to 'go' because they have a red flag symptom.
And what will become of our role? We will become a cross between a community geriatrician and a medical ethics adviser. We will be left to see the patients with complex physical and psychiatric co-morbidities but without the historical knowledge that continuity of care provides. We will not have seen them for their coughs, colds and hip pain so we will not have built up the kind of relationship that is required to manage risk and uncertainty.
By having our own gatekeepers, we will become less effective gatekeepers for secondary care, and admissions and referrals will escalate. The NHS will crumble and the Tories will tell us the whole system is unsustainable.
There are simple solutions to this mess. Ensure general practice returns to at least 11% of NHS funding; protect the quality and continuity of care found in small partnerships; and reduce patient demand. Selling the despicable lie of a seven-day service will not do any of this.
We are catapulting towards a very different type of general practice, and I am not sure patients will like it.
Dr Shaba Nabi is a GP trainer in Bristol
Readers' comments (15)
They definitely will not like it,and it will not be a role that any of us signed up for at the beginning of our careers.Maybe it is time to be a locum .Damn that lease!
General Practice is a very damaged listed building of the highest order. Nothing short of a natural disaster will bring it down to force a rebuild. I can hear a hurricane building up.
I've always felt that "gatekeeper" is a very poor label for GPs. The fact that over 95% of patient demand is dealt with by GPs says it all. These are not patients desperate to waste secondary care money, they just want help, and they trust their GPs. Right with you Shaba that gatekeepers to the gatekeepers is a disastrous direction, and all the evidence is against it. The thinking is wrong: industrialise, cheapen, reduce to transaction. The result is NHS111, demands on ambulances, A&E etc going up not down.
Right now we have choices. Don't let go of continuity of care. Don't see scale as inevitable - there is no evidence for it. See http://gpaccess.uk/evidence/efpc-2015-how-does-practice-list-size-affect-secondary-care-demand/
It's a good article Shaba. Sadly, I don't see any easy way out of our current predicament.
@ Harry Longman
May I ask where you buy your lovely cardigans from?
@ Harry Longman
Long time no see, welcome back!
For once I totally agree with you.
I would argue that we already have outstanding gatekeepers in front of the GP - called receptionists. Their role in filtering out what is obviously administrative, nursing or plain bonkers should not be underestimated.
GPs as the expert generalists should triage, but they need a team of various skills behind them to pass on to. This is where the scale adds value - as it means you can have a broader range of skills to utilise. The other key area is purchasing power - which is certainly correlated against scale. So whilst I agree with Harry from the clinical side, the commercial side still says you can't make a profit on the small business model anymore - and no dollar - no service.
Telephone triage has something to be said for it, but it is it a panacea.
We are not gatekeepers any more. The nhs constituation gives patients the right to demand and get a referral. All patients who ask for a referral are referred. All patients who have any vague unexplained symptoms now fit into some 2ww criteria or other. We can not take clinical risk for fear of the GMC, CQC, ombudsman, patient complaints. Doctors are not going to jail if patients die, even if no fault of their own. Practice very defensively, refer a lot and appropriately, don't take any risk which - this will only help patient care. Secondary care lack of ability to cope is definitely not primary care's problems. Think about yourself (no one else does...no one) and your family and ensure your are able to look after them at all times. Spend as much time with them rather than be stuck to work. your family will look after you, your work will not when you are sick. Pay of your mortgage and if young enough emigrate, find alternative careers or retire if old enough.
The solution is not to get here in the first place.'First and foremost = DO NOT take up medicine a career. In no other profession do you have the funnel web spider [GMC] lurking in the toilet seat to pounce on you at your most vulnerable.
You are clever do computers or Engineering = you are needed there and they look after you.
If you become a doctor in the UK by mistake, DO NOT become a GP.
Think of leaving the UK as soon as you can.

Up-and-coming rapper Big Sean was in the area last weekend for a performance and dished exclusively to Niteside on his life as an artist signed to Kanye West's label, how his life has changed and why he wants to be the biggest artist of our time.
What was it like when you freestyled for Kanye West and actually realized he was impressed with you? It was an incredible feeling. It was where my dreams and reality met. The experience was monumental and life-changing. Everyone gets a chance or an opportunity -- you just have to decide what you're going to do with it.
Did you always know that you wanted to be a rapper? I would definitely say, 'No.' As a kid at around nine or 10 I really loved basketball, but around 12 I started recording music, and when you start doing something really young, you can't help but grow to love it.
Who were your musical influences as a kid growing up in Detroit? I loved Biggie, Jay-Z, J. Dilla, Slum Village and, of course, Eminem.
How has your life changed since being signed to G.O.O.D. Music? My life has definitely changed in the sense that my popularity is at an all time high, and I'm more aware than I've ever been. However, I'm definitely not where I want to be.
Who's your biggest competition musically right now? I'm my biggest competition, but of course you have my peers like Wiz Khalifah, Wale, Drake, etc. They make me want to hustle harder.
What's been your biggest accomplishment and biggest challenge so far in this industry? My biggest accomplishment has definitely been growing my own fan base, and I actually don't call them fans -- I call them believers. The popularity I have now has come from grassroots. My biggest challenge has and continues to be getting to the point that I really want to get to, but I will.
What's it like to work with someone like Kanye West and have him believe in you? It's a great feeling. It's something almost indescribable. I'm fortunate to be surrounded by legends like Common, Pusha T and John Legend. I'm living out my dream.
When's the album coming out? We're announcing the release date and the name of the album at the top of the year. Look out for it. It will be amazing.
What's your ultimate goal? My ultimate goal is to make good music that everyone can enjoy be the biggest artist in the industry, and have the time of my life.
You want to be bigger than Kanye? Yes, I do. Why not?

With a little tuck here and a little tuck there, Shabnam Mabarz hides her long hair under a red headscarf and gets ready to play.
"Voila," said the 20-year-old Mabarz, a member of Afghanistan's national soccer team.
Mabarz and her teammates will be the first to wear a new hijab that is connected to the base layer under their national team shirt. The new creation, which also includes leggings, will make it easier for women to combine their soccer with their faith.
Using it is optional.
"This jersey is the Afghani team uniform and I am proud to be a role model for thousands of young girls and women back home in Afghanistan," said Khalida Popal, the team's former captain. "It is very special to me. It is our identity."
The outfit was designed by Danish sportswear brand Hummel, the company that also makes the national team uniforms for Denmark and Lithuania.
Playing soccer in Afghanistan can be dangerous for women, so many members of the national team live in Europe.
"Football was not easy for us to play, especially in a male-dominated country," Popal told The Associated Press. "It was not acceptable for women to play. Football is a man's game."
When women are allowed to play in Afghanistan, they are usually required to wear a headscarf. But that often proves tricky with the cloth sometimes falling over the players' eyes.
"So we thought of this solution, the sports hijab that is part of the whole package we made for the Afghan Football Federation," Hummel owner Christian Stadil said. "We wanted to make one that is cool and fashionable."
Stadil, who previously sponsored the exiled Tibet team, said the brand was in talks with other Middle Eastern countries to provide a similar outfit. He declined to name them.
"Our core value," Stadil told the AP, "is to change the world through sports."

Piano and Orchids for Cocktails
"Art connects us back to our nature. I think that is one of the main reasons, it's so important, it's so effective toward everyone in the world. Because it's us, it comes from us, comes from our soul." - Marjan Majd
Using mainly orchids, because of their variety and elegance, and because they survive in strong lighting, Marjan Majd, of Chicago-based Parisian Floral Design, creates works of living art. Her favorite color is burgundy, which, she says, "plays well with others."
Like most artists, she says she's never completely satisfied with her arrangements and continues to search for the unique. She even carries flowers on the plane from her forays into distant lands.
Ms. Majd says she takes inspiration in creating her arrangements from another of her talents: "I'm a trained classical pianist, and so art and beauty are in my eyes and fingers," she says. "From that I derive an 'educated imagination' in sensing what works. I'm also inspired by the Baha'i House of Worship itself, being there amid its majesty and significance."
'Life On purpose' video interview with Marjan Majd, by her daughter.

Gas stations and convenience stores will have an easier time maintaining efficiency by investing in cash counters for their back office operations.
Fuel prices are prone to unpredictable fluctuations that often impact driver behavior in the U.S. During the worst periods of the Great Recession, many Americans held back from using their automobiles as much as usual to save money. However, The Christian Science Monitor recently cited a report from AAA that found that the arrival of spring weather has resulted in a substantial increase in demand for gasoline, meaning drivers are ready to get back on the road after a long winter. The change in the weather has actually pushed gas prices up slightly - but this time, consumers are more willing to pay. The CBS affiliate WCTV indicated that the seasonal increase in fuel costs won't have much of an effect on driver behavior this year.
With more Americans willing to drive this spring, gas stations and convenience store owners can expect an increase in sales and in-store traffic. With money counters, employees can reduce the time it takes to count large volumes of cash that accumulate from small purchases throughout the day. Staff members can also save trips to the bank by using these tools to electronically scan checks.

The ring of clouds on the horizon looks like a protective arm guarding the lobster boats. They were lined up and ready for another season when Rosemary Woods came across this very Maritime setting at Ballast Grounds in North Sydney, N.S. Rosemary and I would like to wish everyone a safe and prosperous season.
