2013 Co-Vention Preview - Pontiac Perspective
A Really Big Shoooow! A Really Big Shootout!
Back in 2009, the GTOAA and POCI joined forces to create the Co-Vention in Dayton, Ohio—a massive event that brought out many amazing Pontiacs with great histories. HPP took two issues and about 13 pages to cover it all. I'm sure many participants and spectators went home feeling they had a once-in-a-lifetime experience at an awe-inspiring event that would be remembered for years to come.
If you missed out in 2009, here is your reprieve. The Co-Vention is happening again this summer, July 9-13, in the same place—Dayton, Ohio, at Wright State University's Nutter Center. If you attended in 2009, I'm quite confident you'll want to come back. The 2013 Co-Vention promises many of the activities and seminars that you normally enjoy at a GTOAA International meet and POCI convention, but consider them supersized for the Co-Vention.
It all begins Tuesday, July 9, with early arrivals, on-site registration, and the swap meet. The Ames Performance-sponsored Kick-Off Cruise-In at the nearby Quaker Steak and Lube will highlight Wednesday. GTOAA Concours Judging takes place on Thursday, and the day wraps up with the Performance Years/Pypes Parking Lot Party at the Holiday Inn host hotel.
The Nutter Center will be buzzing with activity Friday, hosting the POCI Points Judged show, the GTOAA Popular Vote show, and the Road Warriors cruise. Those who prefer racing can head out to Kil-Kare Raceway in Xenia for the Jim Wangers Invitational Drag Race. Along with bracket classes, crowd-pleasers include a Pure Stock Musclecar Shootout, a Quick 16 program, Nostalgia Super Stocks, an Unlimited Heads-Up Shootout, and Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick and his '64 GTO Tameless Tiger II.
Back at the Nutter Center, Saturday will feature the POCI Popular Vote show, the Road Warrior Show, and an Inline Tube-sponsored fly-over by the Wright "B" Flier replica at noon. The Co-Vention will close with awards banquets for the GTOAA and POCI at The Hope Hotel and Conference Center on Saturday.
For more info, check out the event website at www.gtoaapocinationals.com, or contact Doug Pulskamp at (812) 212-6280. Contact Paul Freese regarding inside and outside vendor spots at (812) 614-3332.

Bulk hard waste
The on-request Bulk Hard Waste Collection service assists residents in disposing of or recycling their unwanted/broken larger household items. The same items that were picked up from the verge can go into the skip, only now they are recycled.
The Bulk Hard Waste Collection includes the following three services, per household, per financial year including:
- One collection of up to four white goods
- One collection of up to six mattresses
- One three cubic metre skip bin, or one lounge suite collection.
Plus an additional skip bin is available at a reduced City rate.
Booking information
To book your services use the online Cleanaway Booking Forms or call Cleanaway on 9449 3363.
Please note: In peak booking times such as school holidays, end of financial year and Easter, wait times for skip bins may be up to 10 working days for weekday skips and 15 working days for weekend skips, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
End of Financial Year: The bulk service quotas cannot be accumulated for use in the following year. To ensure you receive your bulk hard waste allocation in the 2019/20 financial year bookings must be made by Tuesday 30 June 2020 for use by Thursday 30 July 2020. Services booked after Tuesday 30 June 2020 will come out of the 2020/21 bulk hard waste allowances.
Assistance with bulk hard waste: As with the old bulk verge collection, the City does not provide assistance for residents to fill skip bins with their unwanted household items. The on- request service allows residents to book skip bins for a time when friends, family and neighbours are able to assist, if required.
Skip bin delivery
Weekday skips will remain on site for two nights and one day. Tuesday deliveries will be collected Thursday and Wednesday deliveries will be collected Friday. Weekend skips remain on site for five nights and four days; Thursday deliveries will be collected Tuesday; Friday deliveries will be collected Wednesday. Week long skips will be delivered on Monday and collected the following Monday. The City cannot give an indication of delivery and collection times due to operational reasons. The skip may be delivered anytime up until 4.30pm and may be collected anytime from 7.00am. Please note: collections and deliveries will continue irrespective of inclement weather.
Please note: Due to logistical reasons bulk bins may contain rubbish when delivered to your property (may be full upon arrival). Please be assured that the rubbish will be emptied on the same day as delivery (up to 4.30pm) so you will still receive the full time to fill the skip bin. (i.e one full day for Tuesday/Wednesday deliveries and four full days for Thursday/Friday deliveries)
The City cannot give an indication of delivery and collection times due to operational reasons. The skip may be delivered anytime up until 4.30pm and may be collected anytime from 7.00am.
*Collections and deliveries will continue irrespective of inclement weather*
Bulk hard waste skip bin disposal items
The same items that were able to be put out on the verge for the bulk hard waste collection can now be put into the skip bin, except for white goods and mattresses, as there are separate collections for these items. Bulk hard waste skip bin items include:
- Household furniture – cupboards, draws, cabinets, tables, chairs etc
- Bed frames/headboards
- Floor coverings (carpets/underlay)
- Oversized cardboard packaging
- Wheel barrows (tyres removed)
- Old bicycles, exercise equipment.
For health and safety reasons waste must not be filled above the top rail.
Information regarding bulk hard waste is available in the Waste Guide 2019/20 and the Bulk Hard Waste Frequently Asked Questions.

Project HomeSafe
Project HomeSafe is an industry-government partnership that is helping to promote firearms safety education across the country. The program was developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation to ensure that everyone who owns a firearm knows how to safely store that firearm in the home.
The gun lock safety kits being provided through Project HomeSafe are paid for by companies that voluntarily contribute a percentage of their sales. They are absolutely FREE to residents of Glocester.
Glocester is the third location in Rhode Island to participate in Project HomeSafe and joins over 25 cites and counties nationwide in this public safety initiative. Other Project HomeSafe partners in Rhode Island are Providence and North Providence. East Greenwich and Foster have also signed up to participate in the program.
To date, Project HomeSafe has distributed over 350,000 gun lock safety kits, and expects to distribute a total of 500,000 this year.
What is Project HomeSafe?Project HomeSafe is a focused nationwide program sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) whose purpose is to promote safe firearms handling and storage practices among all firearms owners through safety education messages and the distribution of free gun locking devices. The program is based on developing local outreach efforts in partnership with state/city governments, law enforcement agencies, civic organizations and the private sector.
Why do we need Project HomeSafe?Firearms accidents in the home can result from an unauthorized individual, often a child, finding a loaded and unsecured gun in the home. The risk of firearm-related injuries or deaths can be reduced when firearm owners are aware of and fully understand their responsibility to handle firearms safely and store them in a secure manner.
What is the goal of Project HomeSafe?The goal of Project HomeSafe is to inform and educate all forearms owners on key safety issues and to encourage secure storage through the distribution on gun locking devices in partnership with communities that participate in the Project HomeSafe program.
What is the role of police departments in Project HomeSafe?The police departments of Project HomeSafe communities are critical to the success of the program. Police departments will manage the distribution of the gun locking devices and safety material to forearm owners within their community.
What is the expected duration of Project HomeSafe?We expect the popularity of Project HomeSafe to grow as comminutes and police departments become aware that it is available to them. Project HomeSafe will continue to provide safety kits with gun locking devices to cities that adopt the program for as long as there are interested communities.

My teacher says: "Always flush the toilet". This may sound strange, but the ultimate message is that with great power, comes great responsibility - even with the simplest of tasks. So flush away!

My biology teacher taught me that passion for a subject can extend beyond the classroom. The best way to enjoy learning is to combine your school subjects with extra-curricular activities that you enjoy.

One teacher told me that we should take a nap at lunchtime so that we will be fresh and able to concentrate better during classes after lunch. Funnily enough, my next class after lunch is that teacher's class!

I was told to prepare for the real world. My teacher said: "If you think I'm strict, wait until you get a boss!" I have a feeling that bracing myself for harsher treatment in life will serve me well.
Liam Fung, 11
We're always so busy studying and worrying about our grades that we sometimes forget about the people who worry about us, like our parents. My teacher taught me to love and care about my parents more.
Mak Tsoi-sze, 15
My teacher taught me to be polite, as it's so simple to do and it can make a big difference to what other people think of you. If you ever need help from someone, adding a simple "please" or "thank you" might just work.
Ken Cheung Ka-wai, 14
My homeroom teacher doesn't teach me in any subject, so my classmates and I haven't learned any mathematical equations or sentence structures from him. Instead, we all wear matching hoodies, get together to play ukuleles and throw birthday parties for each other. He's taught me that being a teacher isn't just about being a mentor, but sometimes about being an awesome friend.
May Huang, 16
There's an old saying that goes: "Students are born with wings and teachers help them to fly." Being a student is not about who gets the best grades; but rather about being able to look at the world from a different perspective. Remembering facts and studying the world are two completely different things!
Abhishek Bhujel, 17
I really wanted to take history but almost everyone, even a history teacher, advised against it, as it's not an easy subject in which to get an A. But one of my teachers told me: "If you want to learn, just do it, and your grades will follow." I'm going to continue listening to this advice, as I got an A in the end!
Dhruv Singh, 15
I was told that students have the freedom to make mistakes. We're still learning, so we shouldn't be afraid to try different things and fail. Since then, I've tried many new things; and even though I made mistakes, I also learned more.

April 15, 2010
Lauren Manning, '11, has accepted a prestigious externship with the California Supreme Court and will clerk for Justice Joyce Kennard in the fall semester of her final year at McGeorge.
Justice Kennard is the longest-serving jurist on the California Supreme Court. Since her appointment by Governor George Deukmejian in April 1989, she has received countless honors and awards. Justice Kennard has also proven herself a tireless defender of individual civil rights and a fearless dissenter when faced with a majority rule that does not reflect her interpretation of law.
McGeorge places many continuing students every year in judicial clerkships at the state Superior Court and Court of Appeal levels. More than 10 graduates each year earn clerkships in state and federal courts, including the U.S. Ninth Court of Appeals.
Richard Huff, '78, was one of the first McGeorge graduates to work for the state high court. He served as an attorney-law clerk for Chief Justice Rose Elizabeth Bird for more than two years in the mid 1980s. In his final year of law school, Jerone English, '81, served an externship in the California Supreme Court chambers of the late Justice Stanley Mosk.

Hey folks,
I have to upgrade a running 3.0.6 to the newer version 3.0.7. As I am new to PhpList I looked up the upgrade guide which is found here: http://docs.phplist.com/PhplistUpgrade.html
I followed the steps and after i was done I launched the browser on the adres /admin and I found a page with only the header (With the phpList.com logo and a login button)
I clicked on the login button and the page stayed blank.
I opened up my Chrome debug console and in the network tab I saw that the page returned a 500 internal error after which i ofcourse looked in my error logs, where I couldn't find any errors.
After this I decided to make a new folder called /new/ in the root of the, now backed up to 3.0.6, phplist and start a new installation in that folder. After which I created a new database scheme and edited the config files. If I now load the page I get a bunch of errors and I cannot seem to initialize the database anywhere.
Can someone please provide me with some help?

So many things happen during the week and sometimes we're not online to see them. Melahart.com will be going through the bits and bobs that made it to the online medium during the week gone past. Every Friday should be a new instalment of the things I found weird, funny or just plain stupid.
By all means, this is not a roundup of the most important news so don't get all pissed off if I miss anything. Having said that, I would be super happy and appreciative if you send me any suggestions. If you want I will also link to your blog, Twitter or Facebook page, or I can just keep you anonymous, whatever tickles your fancy.
Well of course this week, this happened:
1) From treachery to bloodbaths
The citizenship debate has gone European and with it came an appalling sentiment by IIP supporters. Apart from the anti EU stance – which of course will only last a few weeks because then it will be time to promote PL candidates for the MEP elections – some started calling those with a different opinion traitors. While I do not particularly have any stance about the programme I cannot stand this fake nationalism which is being flung about by both parties. It seems like there is no space for debate, just mud slinging, gullible people furiously sharing articles they think they understand and MPs commenting ever so subtly on Facebook.
2) Time to learn the meaning of the word "Public"
On the same day news broke that three fools were fined for harassing notorious blogger Daphne Caruana Galizia. My absolute favourite sentence in that piece is:
He said that while people had a right to put up information about themselves on the social media, including Facebook, other people had a right to comment on what was put in the public domain.
So let that be a lesson to us all, once you press send on that status update or photo on Instagram there is no taking it back. Read about my take on the selfie issue.
3) Weddings and sexism
This advert, which can be seen incessantly on many local news portals, rubbed me up the wrong way. Yes I'm a feminist and very sensitive when it comes to the portrayal of women as the ones who need to drag their husbands to wedding fairs. It's archaic and very lazy marketing. Also, not funny!
4) Getting freaky with a panda head on The Times
The Times on Tuesday decided to carry a story about KSU putting forward some of their proposals to the Education Minister, Evarist Bartolo, with regards sixth form repeaters. And what photo did The Times use for this article?
Clever Times, I see what you did there – "distinction between those who failed because of reasonable difficulties, and those who were negligent".
The photo is actually a still from an attempt by JC students to do a harlem shake when those were in fashion (god knows why).
5) Chris Cardona's problems with the 140 character limit.
Pajjiżna jrid ikun leader, fejn ikun ħaddieħor li jħares lejna u jagħmel bħalna u mhux bil-maqlub.

XLR just uses pin2 afaik, also there's no switch so I think you can only use one or the other, not both at the same time.
It is not a good idea to connect both inputs at amp at same time.My amp has a switch on the back of the amp to 'select' either the RCA or XLR.. but I would still not connect BOTH at the same time.One problem is there may be some back emf to the preamp not in use.. which could damage it's electronics.I use THREE preamps.. But I have one main preamp, and the second and third are plugged into the main one as if any ordinary source. (You can use the tape out, or the volume controlled out from your secondary preamp)My main preamp is a Bryston BP-26 (with SEVEN METER XLR to the Bryston 4B-SST² amp)I use a second preamp VAC Standard, as a glorified' tube buffer for digital sources via RCAAnd the third preamp, an Audio Research Sp-15 just for the fine tubed phono stage from my Kuzma Stabi Stogi TT via XLR to the Bryston BP-26I have no problem with daisy chaining the wonderful ARC, and only a small audible loss with the VAC, though the tradeoff in sound is OK for the benefit of tube buffing the digital signal from my old DAC.
thank you , But it works ? what I did was use the XLR with the Parasound Halo and the Kismet amp. and the RCA outputs to the RCA inputs of Kismet from the Don Sach's 2 pre-amp , I just turn off one unit and the other unit just works fine , vis versa , but I am wondering if their is any harm to it ?
WOW a VAC for buffer pre amp !!! that is impressive
I'm a little confused on mixing Balanced and RCA connectors on the same cable.. (1) Can I do it ? (2) Would there be any advantage using cables with mixed connectors in my set up ? OPPO (Balanced to RCA) Candela preamp (RCA to Balanced) Stratos amp (3) Is it safe bypass the preamp and go strait from OPPO to Stratos via Balanced connections on both ends ?My set up :OPPO 205. (RCA to RCA) ODYSSEY Candela (RCA to RCA) Stratos 2 ch amp. The OPPO has both Balanced and RCA outputs ,, The Candela (preamp) has RCA connectors only ,, The Stratos (amp) has RCA and Balanced inputs (not truly Balanced ? )..
Really should have started a new thread for this question.But..(As an aside, but not good for your issues...It is easy to split up a XLR out into two separate RCA. Using the XLR positive and ground for one RCA, the negative and ground for the other RCA. Best to use two full RCA cables, with the wires from a XLR body.Remember the negative/ground is in reverse polarity compared to the positive/ground RCA. For the opposite, taking a RCA to an XLR, you only can get 1/2 of the signal anyway. The positive, and the ground. You have NO negative signal to work with))But in reality for your purposes..There is NO advantage to trying to force use of the connections mix. Use the RCA.. period. I promise you will not find any magic trying to screw around with modified XLR/RCA cables. And you may find out screwing around just cost you $$$ because you blew something to Hell.The CD to amp is no problem, but either the CD player or the amp MUST have a volume control.One problem may be the CD direct to amp may not sound right. (typically lean) due to mismatch impedance. issues but there is a danger of the CD being turned on at full volume and blowing up your speakers or amp with the full volume blast prior to your jumping up to turn it down... If you have EVER done it,, you will avoid the possibility.. Trust me.
Thanks for the totally informative answers..( easy to understand )..Your answers fall right in line with my gut feeling,,And I think your dead on with the OPPO directly connected to the amp , in relationship to Both the Impedance imbalance, and the Max volume Danger ..

Substitute House Bill 1788
Background Information
In 1933, the Legislature enacted the State Bar Act, which created the Washington State Bar Association to be governed by a board of governors charged with the executive functions and enforcement of many provisions of the act. ESHB 1788 repeals the majority of the State Bar Act, and endeavors to recognize the inherent plenary authority of the Washington Supreme Court to regulate certain functions of the law, including the practice of law and the administration of justice. The Washington State Bar Association, represented through its Board of Governors, is opposed to ESHB 1788 in belief that the bill goes too far in eliminating important statutes that currently serve the WSBA and its membership. The board's full resolution reads: "Be it resolved that the WSBA Board of Governors is opposed to ESHB 1788 and any other attempt to amend or repeal the Bar Act until the Supreme Court Bar Structure Work Group has completed its work."
The WSBA will host the Court's Bar Structure Work Group that will thoughtfully consider the future of the WSBA in light of important constitutional and antitrust challenges facing mandatory bar associations nationwide. That work group is scheduled to begin its work on March 28, 2019, and complete its analysis, at earliest, by July 2019. In light of this work group, the WSBA believes passage of ESHB 1788 is premature, and its implications are currently unknown. Because the WSBA believes it is important to consider all options as it and the Structure Work Group begin work to decide how the future of the bar will look, the WSBA has requested that ESHB 1788 not be advanced and that any legislation that would repeal or amend the State Bar Act be suspended until such time as the Structures Work Group can complete its work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does ESHB 1788 reduce annual fees or affect the regulatory functions, including discipline, of the bar?
The WSBA does not believe that the legislation will result in lowering annual fees or affect the regulation of attorneys and disciplinary functions of the WSBA in any way.
Does ESHB 1788 "dissolve the bar"?
Opponents of ESHB 1788 assert that an unintended consequence of the legislation is the dissolution of the bar. ESHB 1788 recodifies RCW 2.48.010 (establishing the Washington State Bar Association) and repeals RCW 2.48.030 (Board of governors) RCW 2.48.035 (Board of governors – Membership – Effect of creation of new congressional districts or boundaries); RCW 2.48.040 (State bar governed by board of governors); RCW 2.48.050 (Powers of governors); RCW 2.48.060 (Admission and disbarment); RCW 2.48.160 (Suspension for nonpayment of fees); RCW 2.48.166 (Admission to or suspension from practice – Noncompliance with support order – Rules); RCW 2.48.170 (Only active members may practice law); RCW 2.48.190 (Qualifications on admission to practice); RCW 2.48.210 (Oath on admission); RCW 2.48.220 (Grounds of disbarment or suspension) and RCW 2.48.230 (Code of ethics).
Proponents of the legislation believe that by amending and re-codifying RCW 2.48.010, the entity itself is preserved and dissolution is avoided. A striking amendment has been introduced in the Senate.
Here is the full text of each of the bills currently under consideration:
- Amended bill from the Senate (NEW as of April 10 2019)
What is WSBA's stance?
As mentioned above, the WSBA Board of Governors voted to oppose ESHB 1788, while continually monitoring the amendment language and working on its own amendment language.
A group of four governors presented testimony regarding ESHB 1788 (ahead of the striking language being considered in the Senate) to the Senate Law & Justice Committee on March 19. Read the written testimony submitted by WSBA governors.
Concerns raised in that testimony include:
- ESHB 1788 is premature, its implications are currently unknown, and its unintended consequences are potentially substantial, irreversible and likely to lead to federal litigation.
- The Court has established a Bar Structure Work Group to thoughtfully consider the future of the WSBA in light of important constitutional and antitrust challenges facing bar associations nationwide. Once that process is complete, the WSBA and the Court should cooperate to propose whatever legislation might be needed, thoughtfully tailored to the specific recommendations of the Structure Work Group.
- Two likely options to be considered by the Structure Work Group would not involve eliminating the existing entity, but rather causing the WSBA to (i) avoid all political speech and political activity or (ii) bifurcate into a voluntary bar association under the current entity and a mandatory set of licensing and disciplinary functions under the delegated authority of the Court.
- The primary and potentially most dangerous component of the proposed legislation is its transfer of all WSBA functions, assets and obligations to the Court, and the potential financial and legal consequences resulting therefrom.
- It could be difficult or even impossible in future sessions to affirmatively pass legislation to "fix" problems not explored or anticipated in passing ESHB 1788.
- Many unknown ramifications remain about the bar's business functions, even with the amendment language.
- The transfer of all WSBA functions, assets, and obligations to the Court could cause potential financial and legal consequences.
- Is the Court's plenary authority sufficient to close the gaps created by eliminating and purporting to recreate the legal status of WSBA?
- Are there implications for "gifting" fees, which would disrupt service program such as the Washington Leadership Institute, Moderate Means program, and Call to Duty program?
- Is this possibly an "unconstitutional taking" of private property, given that WSBA is a statutorily authorized, wholly member-supported association?
- Does these issues open the door to potential federal causes of action?
- Will the Court assume—or can the Court assume—current contracts and commitment such as the WSBA lease agreement, the sections' reserve balance of $1.2 million that should remain property of the sections and pending litigation matters?
Has the Supreme Court taken action on this bill?
The Washington Supreme Court voted on March 14 to take no position on the bill and to indicate that the Justices affirmatively agree on the effective date in the proposed striking amendment.
What is the History of ESHB 1788?
WSBA's Outreach and Legislative Affairs Manager, Board Legislative Committee (BLC), and the Board of Governors have been closely tracking this bill.
Similar bills to repeal the State Bar Act have been introduced in the past. The BLC, comprising 10 of 15 board members, was alerted to the original bill when it seemed the momentum of this bill was not on a fast track. The Outreach and Legislative Affairs Manager kept in close touch with Representative Laurie Jinkins, Chair of the House Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee, and learned that, unlike in past years, a substitute version of the bill was likely to move out of committee. The BLC received the substitute-bill language on Feb. 19, when it first became available. The BLC then received weekly updates on both the original and substitute bills, and BLC members actively discussed the bill (notes are available online and shared with the full board).
Because this bill is complex and nuanced, the board was diligent in researching and understanding both the language and political landscape before taking official action. Under its bylaws, WSBA is unable to take legislative stances until the BLC and/or entire board completes a GR 12.1 evaluation (WSBA is limited to taking stances only on bills that relate to the practice of law and/or administration of justice) and a majority of board members vote in favor of a position. For "major and novel legislative issues," the BLC can elect to refer issues to the full board for their consideration, and the BLC decided on Feb. 22 to do so for ESHB 1788. The board also wanted to hear from its membership and the Washington Supreme Court at its annual board-Court meeting on March 8. Ultimately, the full board voted on March 12 to take a position after a robust public meeting in which the board heard from many of its members from around the state about all the factors at play. Since then, the board has been actively participating in the bill's process and communicating with members.
See page 31-34 of the WSBA Bylaws for more information about the legislative process.
Does WSBA have a legislative presence?
Yes, WSBA has a full-time Outreach and Legislative Affairs Manager, Sanjay Walvekar, who is WSBA's lobbyist. As of mid-March, WSBA's Legislative Affairs team has referred 1,092 bills (out of approximately 2,800 bills introduced) to sections and other relevant WSBA entities, based on their subject-area expertise and interest. These entities have worked with the Outreach and Legislative Affairs Manager to engage in the legislative process including supporting Senate Bill 5003, brought forward by the Business Law Section, which is set for action in the House Committee on Civil Rights & Judiciary. WSBA entities have also provided comment on several bills, including Senate Bill 5079 (supported by the Civil Rights Law Section), Senate Bill 5399 (supported by the Family Law Section), and Senate Bill 5083 (supported by the Litigation Section).
More information is available on the WSBA Legislative Affairs homepage.

Travis Scott has the No. 1 album and single in America
Just when you think Travis Scott can't soar any higher -- the next day happens.
The Houston native earns a double play this week, scoring the No. 1 album and single in the country.
His single "Sicko Mode" with Drake vaults to the top spot after 16 weeks, displacing "Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande.
HTOWN: 7 things other festivals could learn from Travis Scott's Astroworld
This is Scott's first No. 1 single. The video for "Sicko Mode" was filmed in Houston.
Scott's "Astroworld" album, named for the iconic Houston theme park, also moves back to the top spot this week on the Billboard 200. It previously was No. 1 in August when it was released.
The album has spent 17 consecutive weeks in the top 10, a rare feat for any artist these days.
Scott is still on his Astroworld: Wish You Were Here Tour and recently released a video for "Yosemite" and a "Sicko Mode" remix by Skrillex.
Last month, Scott's inaugural Astroworld Festival drew 40,000 fans to Houston. Here's to an even bigger year two.

Each time I meet my father, I am astonished. At the age of 68, he seems to be exuding more vitality than me or my husband or anyone considerably younger. The last three months were a ball. I had my parents visiting us and that gave us ample amount of time to spend with each other. My father spent hours playing with my 4-year-old every single day and at times it was difficult to figure out who was having more fun. He was the one who took her out to the park and ran around with her for hours in this high heat- humidity situation in Bahrain. Where did he draw that kind of energy from?
I always knew my father was energetic and had tremendous zeal for life. I have never seen him pull covers over his head and sleep until late in the mornings. He is always up at the crack of dawn and some times even before that and by the time we wake up, he is already done with his morning rituals and could be seen chanting the Saraswati Sahasranama. Post which, he would have his breakfast and was ready to 'carpe diem'.
Of all that I know about my father, there is this youthfulness about him that I admire the most. Oftentimes, I have wondered how he managed to not let life sap this from his being. We all know how life just slowly sucks away our enthusiasm even without us noticing and suddenly we are caught in a moment while looking up our picture on Facebook, wondering – When and how did I change so much!
In one such similar moment, I thought about this and found several insights into my father's personality and his view on life.
So these are few secrets to how he manages to remain youthful and energetic:
1. Be creative – My father, who is a Pisces, has a natural inclination to being creative. Be it writing emails, to ironing clothes ( yes! he is very handy around the house), to keep the house clean and in order or even his conversations radiate with his creative genius. He finds more efficient and interesting ways to do banal things in life to keep it exciting. The loveliest trait about him is he always encourages everyone around him to be creative – to be the best possible versions of themselves. Easy as it may sound, it is quite difficult. But I have seen him practice being creative and over years it has become a habit. He is retired now but when he was an employee of a large and an esteemed organization, he was known for his creative approach to everything in his Department.
Nourish your creative side to stay young
2. Appreciate beauty- Usually in life, we get carried way by the routine and forget to appreciate the beauty around us. Somehow, most of us are not even gifted with good observation skills unlike my father. My father is very aware of everything around him and is quick to appreciate its unique beauty. How beautiful and grand do the date palms look swaying in the wind, especially when laden with ripe dates, how beautiful do the crottons look and how the building's reception with its black marble looks majestic and so on. This is stuff that I pass by every single day of my life but I never have the intention, inclination or the time to appreciate it. Beautiful people, beautiful things, flowers, gardens, fountains, beautiful buildings and the list is endless – fascinate my father.
Appreciate beauty to stay young
3. Connect with people- It has been a year since we moved this building complex but I haven't had the chance or the interest to know my neighbours or make friends around the building. In three months time, my father managed to make more friends just by going to the park with my daughter. He knows the names of the attendants in the supermarket below our building and also the names of the plumber, repairman, the water guy to list a few. I see him giving them personalized attention and taking care to ask them about their lives. They are ever so happy to serve him.
Connect with people and try to bring smiles to their face to stay young
4. Maintain a child – like wonder – Even at 68 years, my father is intrigued about everything. He reads up a lot and follows anything that is trending – be in music, news and opinions, culture etc. Lately he was asking me about Timbaland and a few recommendations that I could give him about the tracks that he has composed and sung. He is genuinely curious and that shows in the way he explores the books that my brother and I read. He has a soft spot for young adult's fantasy fiction as well.
Be genuinely curious about the world around you to stay young
5. Be addicted to the idea of being in love – Being in love is a feeling different from all others. It gives you that spring in your step, that colour to your cheeks and you feel like you are walking on clouds. Well, that is the feeling we should have in our hearts all the time. Unfortunately, it seems so difficult in this fast paced life to feel that light – hearted, and enjoy the finer moments of life. My father, an eternal romantic at heart, always seems to be joking and having a time of his life. He seems to be addicted to the idea of being in love – no not with any person as such except, of course his wife, my mother – but generally in love with the feeling of love.
Be in love to feel young
These are his five strategies that contribute towards his youth-like demeanour. I think, there may more but I may take some time to explore them and eventually imbibe them.
This recipe here is not my father's favourite by any means but it is my way of showing how I have begun to learn all his secrets to staying young. Over and above his secrets, I am trying to develop a few strategies of my own such as eating healthy and exercising well. The diet- exercise combination keeps in a good mood and hence productive. When I feel productive, I know I am on a creative pursuit and that leads me to be curious. I do have to work on my 'connect with people' area where my skills are tremendously deficient. And feeling light – hearted, like being in love is still a work-in- progress.
This light and hearty soup made of broken wheat and brown lentils is a complete meal. I feel completely satisfied after having this for lunch (preferable) as I find that my cravings are reduced drastically. I have had this soup, 3 days in a row for lunch and did not get tired of it – it is that good! It also got featured in a Dubai based culinary magazine called "The Chef's Special" for their Ramadan special issue along with my Falooda recipe. I wrote about how Ramadan, when planned properly can be an enjoyable experience by finding the balance between fasting and feasting.
Do try this soup and if you do, please let me know how you enjoyed it! The recipe is as under:
Here's wishing everyone a fantastic few days of the working week and a wonderful weekend!

The Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) and the Dodd-Frank act stress test (DFAST) that goes with it assess banks on two different metric, excess capital and excess leverage. While a poor result on either metric can prevent a bank from going forward on its capital return plans, the two are far from equivalent and banks that were limited by leverage have a few more options than those that were limited by capital.
"The banks that have the Tier 1 leverage ratio as their limiting factor, such as JPM, BAC and AXP, can grow the amount of common equity they can return in the upcoming CCAR test simply by issuing more preferred stock over the course of the year," writes Bernstein Research senior analyst John E. McDonald in a June 11 report.
Preferred share offerings could balance out leverage/common capital ratios
McDonald explains that JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) had $10 billion less excess capital when measured against its Tier 1 leverage ratio minimum than when you measure against its Tier 1 common capital ratio minimum, Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) had $2 billion less, and American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) had $300 million less. By issuing preferred stock before next year's stress test, these banks (and any others who think they might be in that situation come 2015) can even the two metrics out a bit and open the door to higher capital returns.
While he doesn't have any specific suggestions for banks that performed better relative to Tier 1 common than Tier 1 leverage, McDonald also points out that Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) had $8 billion less excess capital relative to Tier 1 common as opposed to Tier 1 leverage, Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC) had $7 billion less, U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) $5 billion less, and PNC Financial Services Group Inc (NYSE:PNC) $4 billion less.
CCAR: Planning difficult as stress test continues to evolve
One significant risk to this plan is that the CCAR is still evolving, and banks don't know the exact details of next year's test. This year the big change was that the Federal Reserve did its own balance sheet projections instead of relying on the banks' own numbers, and it used harsher assumptions than they did.
"The y/y inconsistency in the Fed's CCAR results runs the risk of deterring banks from more aggressively expanding their annual capital return requests and investors from fully valuing future excess capital in today's stock prices," writes McDonald.
The Fed has said that it wants to see banks continue to build capital, so this reluctance might be as more of a feature than a bug from their perspective. But until the stress test becomes more predictable, banks are less likely to use strategies like the one that McDonald suggests to maximize capital return.

Ensure that the hard disk is installed properly in the laptop. The drive cannot be formatted before it is installed, or if it's not installed correctly.
Gather the required software. The type of media will depend on the hardware in your laptop. Older computers without a CD-ROM drive, will require the use of the operating system floppy disks. Laptops that can run Windows XP require the installation CD and product key. Older versions of Windows also have disk-formatting capability in the installation process, and the installation media is either a CD or floppy disk.
Place the installation disk or manufacturer software in the drive and then boot the computer. Early in the installation process, the Windows installer has a step that will detect any installed hard disks and allow for them to be formatted. The software from the disk manufacturer will also detect the hard disk and give you the option to format the drive.
Determine which file system is to be used. Windows XP will either work on a NTFS file system or an older VFAT file system. Choose the desired file system when prompted.
Decide whether the whole disk should be formatted or if the disk will be partitioned and each partition to be formatted separately. The Windows installer includes a menu-driven utility that will create hard disk partitions before formatting. If the hard disk is being formatted to replace an existing Windows installation, delete the existing partitions and re-create them.
Format the hard disk with the Windows installer when prompted. The Windows installer will let you know when it is time to format the disk and ask for confirmation.
this should help you.

I have filled the still air with scribbling. The sky is
all starlings, my ears are small birds, shrill and
demanding. And my girl's right hand is cracking,
her knuckles splitting. And me in the chair with the
black spotted sun and the filing. The drilling. And
yesterday that woman flying from school in tears,
her husband slipping. And then we are ghosts.
...swans tiptoe across an icy lake
...Eveline is in her pink tutu
...the ballerina glides
I could be ethereal and move without touching too.
Without weight I could shimmer, but I am this lumpy
creature. The music shouts, 'Come back to me. Listen
to me'. Why should I listen to you? Why keep dragging
me back to the surface of things?
...and then I am flying across the garden, breathless,
my toes barely touching the tips of the grasses, and
I am a fairy, a ghost, a hovering thing, moving
smoothly, wearing white. I am an owl, I am tears
but I am not crying. I am the air...
And then I am called back to land.
I reach out and cry as I bump on the grass.
I am a woman at forty.
Why these lines, this hair, these teeth?

Unusual formatting in Emails with latest Nightly Build (2.7n) using Microsoft Exchange Server
See attached screen capture for an example of the formatting issues. This is via the Outlook connector in Apple Mail, but using GPG mail. When GPGmail is deactivated, the emails come through correctly formatted.
Hey Stephen,
what is "Outlook connector"? We are not familiar with that tool, could you give a brief description on how that works?
Could you do a test using only GPGMail in Mail.app (without any other plugins and without outlook connector) and see if the issue persists?
All the best,
My apologies, I wasn't clear. The email originates through an Exchange account. These emails are generally heavy with HTML content. Since updating to the latest nightly release, I've noticed the encoding changes show in the attachment. I'll try this from a clean install and see if I can find clear steps to reproduce!
Should you be available, could you hop on our live chat here:
UPDATE: Still testing here. Will hopefully have an update tonight or tomorrow morning.
Sure, no rush. do keep us posted and thx for helping to debug this!
I think we can close this one. I can only reproduce it internally when a Windows Outlook 2016 user responds to me (using Apple Mail on macOs 10.12.4 Beta 3) so I don't believe it's related to the gpgtools/plugin.
Ok, closing this discussion. Should you need further assistance or have questions you can re-open this discussion here or open a new one any time.
Best, steve

SAFF loot! Loads of pictures!!!
Friday we woke up and after some yummy breakfast headed down to the Fair. We shopped a bit, then volunteered at the Fleece Show and Sale, where I purchased half a gorgeous black Corriedale fleece. Pictures to come of that. Then after we got some lunch we shopped some more! Friday night was the Fiber in at the Holiday Inn near Asheville and it was so much fun to meet loads of ravelry people! I also won a prize. You can check out a quick video of it on my youtube.
Saturday, was the Barknknit meet n greet where I met lots of lovely fiber people that listen to the podcast or read the blog! That was FUN! It was so great meeting everyone and handing out the goodie bags. :) Hope you enjoyed them. We then shopped some more and headed home for a lovely evening of wine, knitting, and spinning. I managed to finish my Corona sweater that night too! I love it! What do you think?
I got to wear it on Sunday and I got lots of compliments of how great it turned out! You can see my barknknit shirt peaking out. :)
Sunday was another day full of shopping! We started the day by going to brunch downtown Asheville and ended the day at dinner downtown at an indian restraunt. It was yummy food.
So...I've talked about shopping but now the pictures and details of it. :) Ok...here we start with a picture that makes me very happy. :) It's a group picture but it is missing some things like the fleece, gifts, and other fiber. But it's this pretty!

I could have bought so many but I settled on these...which was really funny because it totally matched the fabric of the chair I had loved sitting in at Judi's place. :)
The owner of the Clay Cat also graciously gave me this shawl pin as a thank you for mentioning her on the podcast. If you want buttons or shawl pins made I will post her email soon but she will custom make buttons for you if you want. Well...i hoped you enjoyed the run down of most my purchases. Some are missing as I said because they have already been gifted. :) I'll post pictures of my fleece soon too.

The battery cell manufacturer SVOLT Energy Technology, which emerged from the Chinese car manufacturer Great Wall, has presented a cobalt-free lithium-ion battery cell (NMx) and the four-element lithium-ion battery cell (NCMA).
According to the company, the cobalt-free NMx cell from the up-and-coming battery manufacturer is no less powerful than an NCM-811 cell. At the same time, the material costs are to be reduced by 5 to 15 per cent and the unit costs of the cells by up to 5 per cent. SVOLT did not mention any further details such as the materials used or the structure of the cell – nor a date for the market launch.
The NCMA cells are also expected to outperform the NCM-811 cells in many areas. According to SVOLT, they have a longer service life, better heat resistance and should be safer, which should result in a higher capacity at battery level with improved durability and safety. Again, the company does not provide any other data – such as how much aluminium is added to the cathode or how much cobalt is still present.

|Stephanie and Caiden
Little did I know that newborn sessions were so involved and required so much work and setup! For starters, we had specific instructions to prepare for our session and following them is key to a good photo shoot! We were to keep Caiden awake for three hours prior to the session and not feed him until we arrived. It was TOUGH! We wondered how we would survive keeping him awake and unfed but y'all, it was SO WORTH IT!
Stephanie has swaddles,blankets, baskets and props to the ceiling for her clients. She takes her time setting up each shot to ensure a perfect photo and has a talent for positioning her subjects in the squishiest, most adorable poses. We spent three hours on our session and it was worth every moment. Daddy Bun and I were enthralled with her process. If you're in the Central Florida area and looking to do some newborn photos, or you know someone who is, Stephanie Mashay Photography is where to go!
Without further gushing, which is hard not to do, below are our newborn photos done by Stephanie!
I am just overwhelmed, these last photos of Daddy Bun and I were so amazing! I will definitely be shouting her praises from the rooftops for years to come! This little baby was ten years in the making, a decade from start to finish, proof that sometimes waiting is exactly what you have to do for perfection.
Thank you for sharing this moment with me. And a special thank you to Stephanie Mashay Photography for her talent, hard work and amazing skills!

North America, United States, Washington, Cascade Range, Gunsight (Main Summit), East Face
Gunsight (main summit), East Face. Gary Brill and I made this ascent on July 31. From a camp on the Blizzard-Gunsight Col we were able to circumnavigate easily to the east by way of the Blue Glacier. Choosing a line on the east face (left), we soon found ourselves on excellent granite following a series of leftward-ascending cracks, flakes and blocks (F7). After one pitch, the crux was encountered near the southeast corner: a large flake leading to a small jam-crack and then followed by a chock-stoned F8 chimney. From a semi-hanging belay (due to insufficient hardware) a dihedral-crack system was pursued. This eventually led to a rightward finger traverse (F7-F8) and the upper slabs of the peak. Crossing left over these slabs (F8) to avoid an overhanging wall enabled us to reach the southeast corner again. The route was finished along this corner. (NCCS III, F9.)

Exercise and posture control are two of the most important aspects of treatment for anyone with ankylosing spondylitis.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of inflammatory arthritis that can last for life. It is painful and progressive. It mainly affects the spine, but it can also affect joints, tendons, ligaments, the eyes, and the bowel. The condition is unpredictable, and it affects people in a variety of ways and at different times.
Spondylitis support groups say that medication alone is not enough to treat AS. They believe that exercise is a vital part of treatment for the condition and should be a high priority.
Two symptoms that most people with AS experience are stiffness and pain, so staying fit and flexible helps manage the condition.
The benefits of following an exercise program include developing and maintaining a good posture, improving flexibility, and reducing pain.
Exercise can be an important way of relieving symptoms of AS and maintaining strength and flexibility.
The U.K.'s National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society note that exercise:
- increases flexibility, which makes it easier to do simple things, such as putting on shoes and socks
- increases mobility, which makes it easier to do everyday tasks
- improves posture, which builds confidence and reduces self-consciousness
- is physically tiring, which improves sleep quality, ensuring you wake, feeling refreshed
- reduces stiffness and pain, which results in less pain at night and improved sleep quality
- improves joint movement, posture control, muscle length and strength, lung capacity, balance, and cardiovascular fitness
In some cases, good posture and mobility can be regained through a combination of exercise and medicine. The Spondylitis Association of America state that "most people with spondylitis say they feel much better after exercise."
It can be difficult to find time to exercise every day, but it should be done, even if it is only for 5-10 minutes.
Arthritis Research UK recommend the following breathing exercise to strengthen the diaphragm:
- Lie on your back and bend your knees, keeping the feet flat on the ground.
- Placing your hands on your ribs at the sides of your chest, take a deep breathe in through the nose and push your ribs out against your hands. Breathe out, as far as you can, through your mouth. Repeat the breathing exercise 10 times.
- Repeat the exercise, but this time place your hands on the upper part of the front of your chest. Remember to breathe in and out as deeply as you can. You can do this exercise at any time in a lying or sitting position.
This exercise works to strengthen the back:
- Lie on your front with your hands by your sides and look straight ahead, putting a pillow under your chest for comfort, if required.
- Stretch one arm out in front of you and raise the opposite leg off the ground without bending it. Repeat about 5 times for each leg.
- With your arms back by your sides, raise your head and shoulders off the ground 10 times.
They also recommend the following exercises:
- Place your heels and your bottom against a wall. Keeping your head straight (not tilted), push it back gently toward the wall. Hold this position for about 5 seconds, then relax. Do this 10 times, if possible.
- Stand with your feet apart and your hands on your hips. Keeping your knees and feet facing forward, turn from the waist to look behind you. Do this 5 times for each side, holding each pose for about 5 seconds.
- Kneel on all fours. Stretch one arm and the opposite leg out in line with the floor and hold for 10 seconds. Do the same with the other side and repeat 5 times.
When to exercise?
The easiest way to fit exercise into a busy life is to do it at the same time every day. Some people may prefer morning exercises, such as stretching to overcome stiffness, while others will choose later in the day or the evening.
Anyone with AS will be used to experiencing pains and strains. Having good posture makes a person with the condition look and feel better.
However, when experiencing bad back pain, a person tends to bend forward, which ultimately puts more stress on the spine. This can often lead to a pattern of bad posture and pain.
To achieve and maintain good posture, people can follow these steps:
- Do not slouch, but think yourself tall when standing or sitting.
- Hold your head straight, directly above your body, with the chin centered, and in line with the floor.
- Placing the heels about 4 inches from a wall, try to touch it with your shoulders and buttocks. Hold the pose for about 5 seconds and repeat.
Prone lying is an exercise for good posture and, as the name suggests, is done lying down. People can do it in the morning before they get up.
- Lie face down and as flat as possible on the ground or a firm mattress.
- Rest your head on your hands, facing the left or the right or alternating.
Lying prone can be a bit uncomfortable at first, so do it for a couple of minutes and build up slowly, until you can hold a prone position for about 20 minutes.
Exercise can be an important part of treatment for AS, and the most important therapy a person can do to help themselves. However, it is important to make the right choices.
Sports to avoid
The Spondylitis Association of America advise that contact sports are not a good idea for anyone who has advanced AS, because joints and the spine may be injured.
Low-impact but competitive sports, such as volleyball and badminton, are seen as good options. Pilates, yoga, and tai chi are also acceptable for people with AS.
However, swimming is considered to be one of the best forms of exercise because it involves all muscles and joints without jarring them.
Tips for getting started
Ask a doctor: Anyone thinking about starting an AS exercise program should consult a doctor or physical therapist first. These experts can advise what exercises are suitable, and how they should be carried out. A person with AS can also get help with designing an individual exercise program.
Warm up first: As with all exercise, it is necessary to warm up first. Exercises should be done in a comfortable area on a carpeted floor or exercise mat. People who have problems getting up and down from the floor can exercise on a bed that has a firm mattress.
Build up slowly: When starting out on an exercise program, an individual is likely to experience some discomfort, so it is important not to overdo it. Start slowly and build up gradually.

From the Bookshelf: Things We Love
One book that is always on my desk for reference is "Things We Love" by Kate Spade. I found it one day as I was in my usual section, art and design, when I happened to stray a little too far (into fashion), and there it was, a light blue spine with gold foil lettering, standing out from the rest. I took it down and opened it and fell in love instantly. It's a curation of 20 things that inspire and influence Kate Spade's style, some including "a well placed bow", "the color red", "New York", and "The Element of Surprise". Sound like Kate Spade? I thought so. For any modern design lover, or fashion enthusiast, this coffee table book is a must have for your collection.

A SINGAPORE-BASED British wealth adviser who set off a firestorm by publicly insulting Singaporeans who have to rely on public transport has "parted ways" with his former employer, the firm says.
Porsche-driving Anton Casey, 39, who is married to a former Singapore beauty queen, has gone to Australia but has not said what his future plans are following the controversy.
He holds permanent residency in Singapore, which he calls his adopted home, and claims to have received death threats after he referred to public transport users as "poor people" in a social network post.
Mr Casey's employer Crossinvest (Asia) Pte Ltd said in a statement on Saturday: "Those comments go against our core corporate and family values that are based on trust, mutual understanding and are respectful of diversity."
"Accordingly, Crossinvest Asia and Mr Casey have parted ways with immediate effect," it added in a Facebook post early Saturday.
In a statement to the Straits Times newspaper on Friday, Mr Casey, asking for forgiveness, said he had left for Australia "due to threats made towards my family".
The Briton and his family, now in Perth, faced stinging verbal abuse from internet users after Facebook posts insulting commuters in the wealthy city-state went viral.
One of the posts showed a picture of a boy, apparently his five-year-old son, sitting inside a metro train with a caption above the photo saying: "Daddy, where is your car & who are all these poor people?"
Many took to social media on Saturday to welcome Mr Casey's departure from the boutique wealth management firm.
Singapore - with a modern public transport system - is one of the world's wealthiest societies, with a per-capita gross domestic product of SG$65,048 ($58,250) in 2012.
