We were happy to learn that there was an orientation session for parents at our children's middle school. As newcomers to Canada, we saw it as an opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the new school system.
The first pleasant surprise was the very bright and cheerful lobby that we walked into. It was full of the students' artwork and photographs of all the graduating classes going back several years. There was a table with some of the science projects that the grade 8 students had done and I was happy to note that none of them looked like they had been helped by their parents.
Memories of elaborate projects at our children's school back in India were still fresh. My wife and I had lacked both the skills and the time to come up with similar ones, much to our children's dismay.
A smaller table held a coffee pot with freshly-brewed coffee and homemade cookies.
My wife smiled at me. "I already love this school!" she said.
We were met by student volunteers who led us inside the gym where the session was to be held.
A lady with a very friendly demeanour welcomed us at the door and the second pleasant surprise came when she walked onto the stage and introduced herself as the principal. None of the starchy stiffness that we were used to.
My wife smiled at me. "I really love this school!" she said.
The principal introduced the staff and then gave a brief talk on the school. Its history, the services and programs they offered, their expectations from students where behaviour was concerned.
We listened with keen interest, fascinated by how schools functioned here.
In all the information she was providing, there was mention of a Communication program. I perked up on hearing this. My wife obviously had the same thought at the same time because she elbowed me in the ribs.
"We should ask about this program, Sunny and Bobby both deserve to be in it."
So after the session, we waited to meet the principal and told her we were interested in signing up our sons for the Communication program.
She looks a little surprised.
"You don't have to worry about that," she said. "It's not like we place all children of all newcomers in ESL or Communication programs. We do so only after they are tested and if they need the extra help."
Extra help? Our kids needed no extra help, they excelled in English and always got top marks for essays, we informed her.
"So then why are you interested in placing them in Communication?" she asked, puzzled.
"Well, because as I said, they are really good at communicating and we thought this program might hone their skills further," I explained.
The lady was silent for a few moments, processing the information. Then she understood.
"Oh, you think Communication is a program for gifted children?" she asked. We nodded eagerly.
"Well, actually, it's a program we offer for children who are struggling to keep up with the rest of the students in their class. So if your sons are good in English, I don't think they will need to be in Communication."

The transit of blood through the beating heart is a basic aspect of cardiovascular physiology which remains incompletely studied. Quantification of the components of multidirectional flow in the normal left ventricle (LV) is lacking, making it difficult to put the changes observed with LV dysfunction and cardiac surgery into context.
Three dimensional, three directional, time resolved magnetic resonance phase-contrast velocity mapping was performed at 1.5 Tesla in 17 normal subjects, 6 female, aged 44+/-14 years (mean+/-SD). We visualized and measured the relative volumes of LV flow components and the diastolic changes in inflowing kinetic energy (KE). Of total diastolic inflow volume, 44+/-11% followed a direct, albeit curved route to systolic ejection (videos 1 and 2), in contrast to 11% in a subject with mildly dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), who was included for preliminary comparison (video 3). In normals, 16+/-8% of the KE of inflow was conserved to the end of diastole, compared with 5% in the DCM patient. Blood following the direct route lost or transferred less of its KE during diastole than blood that was retained until the next beat (1.6+/-1.0 millijoules vs 8.2+/-1.9 millijoules, p<0.05); whereas, in the DCM patient, the reduction in KE of retained inflow was 18-fold greater than that of the blood tracing the direct route.
Multidimensional flow mapping can measure the paths, compartmentalization and kinetic energy changes of blood flowing into the LV, demonstrating differences of KE loss between compartments, and potentially between the flows in normal and dilated left ventricles.
Pulsatile blood flow through the cavities of the heart and great vessels is time-varying and multidirectional. Access to all regions, phases and directions of cardiovascular flows has formerly been limited. Four-dimensional (4D) flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has enabled more comprehensive access to such flows, with typical spatial resolution of 1.5x1.5x1.5 - 3x3x3 mm(3), typical temporal resolution of 30-40 ms, and acquisition times in the order of 5 to 25 min. This consensus paper is the work of physicists, physicians and biomedical engineers, active in the development and implementation of 4D Flow CMR, who have repeatedly met to share experience and ideas. The paper aims to assist understanding of acquisition and analysis methods, and their potential clinical applications with a focus on the heart and greater vessels. We describe that 4D Flow CMR can be clinically advantageous because placement of a single acquisition volume is straightforward and enables flow through any plane across it to be calculated retrospectively and with good accuracy. We also specify research and development goals that have yet to be satisfactorily achieved. Derived flow parameters, generally needing further development or validation for clinical use, include measurements of wall shear stress, pressure difference, turbulent kinetic energy, and intracardiac flow components. The dependence of measurement accuracy on acquisition parameters is considered, as are the uses of different visualization strategies for appropriate representation of time-varying multidirectional flow fields. Finally, we offer suggestions for more consistent, user-friendly implementation of 4D Flow CMR acquisition and data handling with a view to multicenter studies and more widespread adoption of the approach in routine clinical investigations.
The right ventricle has an important role in cardiovascular disease. However, because of the complex geometry and the sensitivity to the respiratory cycle, imaging of the right ventricle is challenging. We investigated whether 3D cine phase-contrast MRI can provide data with sufficient accuracy for visualizations of the 4D blood flow in the right ventricle. Whole-heart 4D flow measurements with optimized imaging parameters and post-processing tools were made in healthy volunteers. Pathlines emitted from the right atrium could be traced through the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery without leaving the blood pool and thereby met our criteria for sufficient accuracy.
Purpose: Mitral regurgitation creates a high velocity jet into the left atrium (LA), contributing both volume andpressure; we hypothesized that the severity of regurgitation would be reflected in the degree of LA flowdistortion.
Material and Methods: Three-dimensional cine PC-MRI was applied to determine LA flow patterns andturbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in seven subjects (five patients with posterior mitral leaflet prolapse, two normalsubjects). In addition, the regurgitant volume and the time-velocity profiles in the pulmonary veins weremeasured.
Results: The LA flow in the mitral regurgitation patients was highly disturbed with elevated values of TKE.Peak TKE occurred consistently at late systole. The total LA TKE was closely related to the regurgitant volume.LA flow patterns were characterized by a pronounced vortex in proximity to the regurgitant jet. In some patients,pronounced discordances were observed between individual pulmonary venous inflows, but these could not berelated to the direction of the flow jet or parameters describing global LA hemodynamics.
Conclusion: PC-MRI permits investigations of atrial and pulmonary vein flow patterns and TKE in significantmitral regurgitation, reflecting the impact of the highly disturbed blood flow that accompanies this importantvalve disease.
To evaluate the feasibility of generalized phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) for the noninvasive assessment of fluctuating velocities in cardiovascular blood flow.
Materials and Methods
Multidimensional PC-MRI was used in a generalized manner to map mean flow velocities and intravoxel velocity standard deviation (IVSD) values in one healthy aorta and in three patients with different cardiovascular diseases. The acquired data were used to assess the kinetic energy of both the mean (MKE) and the fluctuating (TKE) velocity field.
In all of the subjects, both mean and fluctuating flow data were successfully acquired. The highest TKE values in the patients were found at sites characterized by abnormal flow conditions. No regional increase in TKE was found in the normal aorta.
PC-MRI IVSD mapping is able to detect flow abnormalities in a variety of human cardiovascular conditions and shows promise for the quantitative assessment of turbulence. This approach may assist in clarifying the role of disturbed hemodynamics in cardiovascular diseases.
Blood flow throughout the cardiovascular system is driven by pressure differences generated by the contraction and relaxation of the heart, where blood accelerates from high to low pressure areas. Absolute intracardiac pressure cannot be measured noninvasively, but relative pressure can be calculated. The aim of this study was to assess the spatial heterogeneity of the 4D relative pressure fields in the human left ventricle (LV).
Twelve healthy subjects underwent MRI examination where 4D flow as well as morphological data were acquired. The morphological data were segmented, and the segmentation used as boundary condition when computing relative pressure fields from the pressure Poisson equation using a multi grid solver. The LV lumen was divided according to a seventeen segment model in order to assess spatial heterogeneity and present the extensive amount of data in a comprehensive manner.
The basal anteroseptal segment shows a significantly lower median pressure than the opposite basal inferolateral segment during both early and late diastolic filling (p<0.0005 and p=0.0024, respectively). Along the long axis, the relative pressure in the apical segments are significantly higher relative to the basal segments (p<0.0005) along both the anteroseptal and inferolateral sides at and after the peaks of E-wave and A-wave.
During diastole the main pressure differences in the LV occur along the basal-apical axis. However, pressure differences can also be found in the short-axis direction, and may also reflect important aspects of atrioventricular coupling.
Purpose: To assess the spatial heterogeneity of the four-dimensional (4D) relative pressure fields in the healthy human left ventricle (LV) and provide reference data for normal LV relative pressure. Methods: Twelve healthy subjects underwent a cardiac MRI examination where 4D flow and morphological data were acquired. The latter data were segmented and used to define the borders of the LV for computation of relative pressure fields using the pressure Poisson equation. The LV lumen was divided into 17 pie-shaped segments. Results: In the normal left ventricle, the relative pressure in the apical segments was significantly higher relative to the basal segments (P < 0.0005) along both the anteroseptal and inferolateral sides after the peaks of early (E-wave) and late (A-wave) diastolic filling. The basal anteroseptal segment showed significantly lower median pressure than the opposite basal inferolateral segment during both E-wave (P < 0.0005) and A-wave (P = 0.0024). Conclusion: Relative pressure in the left ventricle is heterogeneous. During diastole, the main pressure differences in the LV occur along the basal-apical axis. However, pressure differences were also found in the short axis direction and may reflect important aspects of atrioventricular coupling. Additionally, this study provides reference data on LV pressure dynamics for a group of healthy subjects. (C) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Aims : Patients with mild heart failure (HF) who are clinically compensated may have normal left ventricular (LV) stroke volume (SV). Despite this, altered intra-ventricular flow patterns have been recognized in these subjects. We hypothesized that, compared with normal LVs, flow in myopathic LVs would demonstrate a smaller proportion of inflow volume passing directly to ejection and diminished the end-diastolic preservation of the inflow kinetic energy (KE).
Methods and results : In 10 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (49 ± 14 years, six females) and 10 healthy subjects (44 ± 17 years, four females), four-dimensional MRI velocity and morphological data were acquired. A previously validated method was used to separate the LV end-diastolic volume (EDV) into four flow components based on the blood's locations at the beginning and end of the cardiac cycle. KE was calculated over the cardiac cycle for each component. The EDV was larger (P = 0.021) and the ejection fraction smaller (P < 0.001) in DCM compared with healthy subjects; the SV was equivalent (DCM: 77 ± 19, healthy: 79 ± 16 mL). The proportion of the total LV inflow that passed directly to ejection was smaller in DCM (P = 0.000), but the end-diastolic KE/mL of the direct flow was not different in the two groups (NS).
Conclusion : Despite equivalent LVSVs, HF patients with mild LV remodelling demonstrate altered diastolic flow routes through the LV and impaired preservation of inflow KE at pre-systole compared with healthy subjects. These unique flow-specific changes in the flow route and energetics are detectable despite clinical compensation, and may prove useful as subclinical markers of LV dysfunction.
Background: The beating heart is the generator of blood flow through the cardiovascular system. Within the hearts own chambers, normal complex blood flow patterns can be disturbed by diseases. Methods for the quantification of intra-cardiac blood flow, with its 4D (3D+time) nature, are lacking. We sought to develop and validate a novel semi-automatic analysis approach that integrates flow and morphological data. Method: In six healthy subjects and three patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, three-directional, three-dimensional cine phase-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) velocity data and balanced steady-state free-precession long- and short-axis images were acquired. The LV endocardium was segmented from the short-axis images at the times of isovolumetric contraction (IVC) and isovolumetric relaxation (IVR). At the time of IVC, pathlines were emitted from the IVC LV blood volume and traced forwards and backwards in time until IVR, thus including the entire cardiac cycle. The IVR volume was used to determine if and where the pathlines left the LV. This information was used to automatically separate the pathlines into four different components of flow: Direct Flow, Retained Inflow, Delayed Ejection Flow and Residual Volume. Blood volumes were calculated for every component by multiplying the number of pathlines with the blood volume represented by each pathline. The accuracy and inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of the approach were evaluated by analyzing volumes of LV inflow and outflow, the four flow components, and the end-diastolic volume. Results: The volume and distribution of the LV flow components were determined in all subjects. The calculated LV outflow volumes [ml] (67 +/- 13) appeared to fall in between those obtained by through-plane phase-contrast CMR (77 +/- 16) and Doppler ultrasound (58 +/- 10), respectively. Calculated volumes of LV inflow (68 +/- 11) and outflow (67 +/- 13) were well matched (NS). Low inter- and intra-observer variability for the assessment of the volumes of the flow components was obtained. Conclusions: This semi-automatic analysis approach for the quantification of 4D blood flow resulted in accurate LV inflow and outflow volumes and a high reproducibility for the assessment of LV flow components.
Intracardiac blood flow patterns are potentially important to cardiac pumping efficiency. However, these complex flow patterns remain incompletely characterized both in health and disease. We hypothesized that normal left ventricular (LV) blood flow patterns would preferentially optimize a portion of the end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) for effective and rapid systolic ejection by virtue of location near and motion towards the LV outflow tract (LVOT). Three-dimensional cine velocity and morphological data were acquired in 12 healthy persons and 1 patient with dilated cardiomyopathy using MRI. A previously validated method was used for analysis in which the LVEDV was separated into four functional flow components based on the bloods locations at the beginning and end of the cardiac cycle. Each components volume, kinetic energy (KE), site, direction, and linear momentum relative to the LVOT were calculated. Of the four components, the LV inflow that passes directly to outflow in a single cardiac cycle (Direct Flow) had the largest volume. At the time of isovolumic contraction, Direct Flow had the greatest amount of KE and the most favorable combination of distance, angle, and linear momentum relative to the LVOT. Atrial contraction boosted the late diastolic KE of the ejected components. We conclude that normal diastolic LV flow creates favorable conditions for ensuing ejection, defined by proximity and energetics, for the Direct Flow, and that atrial contraction augments the end-diastolic KE of the ejection volume. The correlation of Direct Flow characteristics with ejection efficiency might be a relevant investigative target in cardiac failure.

Purpose: To assess in vitro the three-dimensional mean velocity field and the extent and degree of turbulence intensity (TI) in different prosthetic heart valves using a generalization of phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI). Materials and Methods: Four 27-mm aortic valves (Bjork-Shiley Monostrut tilting-disc, St. Jude Medical Standard bileaflet, Medtronic Mosaic stented and Freestyle stentless porcine valve) were tested under steady inflow conditions in a Plexiglas phantom. Three-dimensional PC-MRI data were acquired to measure the mean velocity field and the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), a direction-independent measure of TI. Results: Velocity and TI estimates could be obtained up and downstream of the valves, except where metallic structure in the valves caused signal void. Distinct differences in the location, extent, and peak values of velocity and TI were observed between the valves tested. The maximum values of TKE varied between the different valves: tilting disc, 100 J/m(3); bileaflet, 115 J/m(3); stented, 200 J/m(3); stentless, 145 J/m(3). Conclusion: The TI downstream from a prosthetic heart valve is dependent on the specific valve design. Generalized PC-MRI can be used to quantify velocity and TI downstream from prosthetic heart valves, which may allow assessment of these aspects of prosthetic valvular function in postoperative patients.

Ultrasound-Doppler assessment of diastolic function is subject to velocity errors caused by angle sensitivity and a fixed location of the sample volume. We used 3-dimensional phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate these errors in 10 patients with hypertension and in 10 healthy volunteers. The single (Doppler) and triple (MRI) component velocity was measured at early (E) and late (A) inflow along Doppler-like sample lines or 3-dimensional particle traces generated from the MRI data. Doppler measurements underestimated MRI velocities by 9.4% ± 8.6%; the effect on the E/A ratio was larger and more variable. Measuring early and late diastolic inflows from a single line demonstrated the error caused by their 3-dimensional spatial offset. Both errors were minimized by calculating the E/A ratio from maximal E and A values without constraint to a single line. Alignment and spatial offset are important sources of error in Doppler diastolic parameters. Improved accuracy may be achieved with the use of maximal E and A velocities from wherever they occur in the left ventricle.
BACKGROUND: Abnormal flow patterns in the left atrium in atrial fibrillation or mitral stenosis are associated with an increased risk of thrombosis and systemic embolisation; the characteristics of normal atrial flow that avoid stasis have not been well defined.
OBJECTIVES: To present a three dimensional particle trace visualisation of normal left atrial flow in vivo, constructed from flow velocities in three dimensional space.
METHODS: Particle trace visualisation of time resolved three dimensional magnetic resonance imaging velocity measurements was used to provide a display of intracardiac flow without the limitations of angle sensitivity or restriction to imaging planes. Global flow patterns of the left atrium were studied in 11 healthy volunteers.
RESULTS: In all subjects vortical flow was observed in the atrium during systole and diastolic diastasis (mean (SD) duration of systolic vortex, 280 (77) ms; and of diastolic vortex, 256 (118) ms). The volume incorporated and recirculated within the vortices originated predominantly from the left pulmonary veins. Inflow from the right veins passed along the vortex periphery, constrained between the vortex and the atrial wall.
CONCLUSIONS: Global left atrial flow in the normal human heart comprises consistent patterns specific to the phase of the cardiac cycle. Separate paths of left and right pulmonary venous inflow and vortex formation may have beneficial effects in avoiding left atrial stasis in the normal subject in sinus rhythm.
Purpose: To estimate regional myocardial strain rate, with reduced sensitivity to noise and velocities outside the region of interest, and provide a visualization of the spatial variation of the obtained tensor field within the myocardium. Materials and Methods: Myocardial velocities were measured using two-dimensional phase contrast velocity mapping. Velocity gradients were estimated using normalized convolution and the calculated 2D strain rate tensor field was visualized using a glyph representation. Validation utilized a numerical phantom with known strain rate distribution. Strain rate glyph visualizations were created for normal myocardium in both systole and diastole and compared to a patient with an anteroseptal infarction. Results: In the phantom study the strain rate calculated with normalized convolution showed a very good agreement with the analytic solution, while traditional methods for gradient estimation were shown to be sensitive to both noise and surrounding velocity data. Normal myocardium showed a homogenous strain rate distribution, while a heterogeneous strain rate can be clearly seen in the patient data. Conclusion: The proposed approach for quantification and visualization of the regional myocardial strain rate can provide an objective measure of regional myocardial contraction and relaxation that may be valuable for the assessment of myocardial heart disease. © 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Background: Myocardial dynamics are three-dimensional (3D) and time-varying. Cineradiography of surgically implanted makers in animals or patients is accurate for assessing these events, but this invasive method potentially alters myocardial motion. The aim of the study was to quantify myocardial motion using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hence to provide a non-invasive approach to characterize 3D myocardial dynamics.
Methods: Myocardial motion was quantified in ten normal volunteers by tracking the Lagrangian motion of individual points (i.e. virtual markers), based on time-resolved 3D phase-contrast MRI data and Fourier tracking. Nine points in the myocardium were tracked over the entire cardiac cycle, allowing a wire frame model to be generated and systolic and diastolic events identified.
Results: Radius of curvature of the left ventricular (LV) wall was calculated from the virtual markers; the ratio between the anterior–posterior (AP) and septal–lateral (SL) walls in the LV shows an oval shape of the apical short axis plane at end systole (ES) and more circular at end diastole (ED). The AP/SL ratio for the basal plane shows an oval shape at ES and ED. We found that the rotation of the basal plane in ES was less compared to the apical plane [−2·0 ± 2·2 versus 4·1 ± 2·6 degrees (P<0·005)]. The apical plane rotated counter clock wise as viewed from the apex.
Conclusion: This new non-invasive tool, despite current limitations in temporal and spatial resolution, may provide a comprehensive set of virtual myocardial markers throughout the entire LV without the confounding effects introduced by surgical implantation.
Purpose: To assess turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) within the left ventricle (LV) of healthy subjects using novel 4D flow MRI methods and to compare TKE values to those from a spectrum of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
Methods: 4D flow and morphological MRI-data were acquired in 11 healthy subjects and 9 patients with different degrees of diastolic dysfunction. TKELV was calculated within the LV at each diastolic time frame. At peak early (E) and late (A) diastolic filling, the TKELV was compared to transmitral peak velocity, LV diameter and mitral annular diameter.
Results: In the majority of all subjects, peaks in TKELV could be observed at E and A. Peak TKELV at E was not different between the groups, and correlated with mitral annular dimensions. Peak TKELV at A was higher in DCM patients compared to healthy subjects, and was related to LV diameter and transmitral velocity.
Conclusions: In normal LVs, TKE values are low. Values are highest during early diastole, and diminish with increasing LV size. In a heterogeneous group of DCM patients, late diastolic TKE values are higher than in healthy subjects. Kinetic energy loss due to elevated late diastolic TKE may reflect inefficient flow in dilated LVs.

I *heart* wood stoves
One super high (electric) heating bill lead to a super cold month and a 1/3 reduced bill,
which lead to a new wood stove, a super toasty warm month and a 2/3 reduced electric bill. We love our new wood stove!!!! It heats the entire 1200sf of our main living space and bedrooms. The smell is wonderful and having a fire to look at is cozy too.
Jason seems to really enjoy tending the fire, the look of pride when he gets it roaring is priceless:)
Notice the sweet hearth he tiled for the floor.
The kids help stack the wood. We haven't been very good gardeners so this has been a good activity to get us outside, working together.
Jason built us a small firewood rack for the deck. I love how great it looks from just a few scraps of supplies gathered in the garage. My guy does good work!

A cover for my iPod Touch
I found this tutorial at Dog Named Banjo and it worked wonderfully! It was also nice and quick. I got this done in an hour or less I believe.
I modified her pattern a little since I didn't have velcro and I have a million buttons. So far the button has been working great. (please ignore my scratched windowsill - the previous owners of our house had a dog)
My only problem with the tutorial is that it is super snug. You can see my iPod just fits in there. I had already bought a hard protective case for it because I also drop everything I own and it doesn't fit with the case on it.
So I'm thinking I might make another one and just add an inch to the width of the fabrics.
Especially if I start working out again. Then I definitely need the hard case! How about you, how do you protect your electronics?

Well I like protecting my dad's electronics if that counts lol. I don't have a good enough phone to worry about a case for it, and my Kindle has a *gasp* shop bought cover! I got it before I got into the whole sewing thing, so that's my excuse on that one - I have made my dad an iPhone cover and am making him a cover tonight for his new birthday Kindle that I'll be giving him at the weekend. Think I may need to make a new cover for my iPod though, as the old one is too big (as it was built for a much older model)

It looks great! I like using buttons instead of velcro, they're much cuter! Oh, and I generally don't protect my stuff :( My phone gets thrown in my bag and dropped pretty often, the iPad has a quilted case though :)

I currently don't protect my electronics very well. I do have one of those rubbery holders for my iTouch, but really need to make a pouch for it. And, I have nothing for my iPad yet and I've had it almost a year! This one looks great - I think I'd add a bit more fabric too for a more comfortable fit!

SENIOR EDITOR FOR NEWS BOB GRITZINGER: Pretty and potent, this A5 convertible. The car looks great inside and out--I'm really liking Audi's rear-end treatment these days--and pulls stronger and smoother from its four-cylinder turbo than I expected. Everything's here, except the manual transmission that seems as if it should go with a convertible to take the fun quotient over the top. At the very least, toss in some paddle-shifters to push the sporty factor--or is Audi saving that for the S5 Cabrio?
This convertible is rock solid over rough roads, which is a real tribute to Audi's ability to whack the roof off a car and still keep its structural integrity intact. I drive some bumpy, sharp freeway exit ramps that can usually toss just about any car off course or induce chassis shake, but not this Audi. Steady as she goes. Given the inherent visibility problems with coupe-convertible roofs, the reverse camera and the lane-warning system are excellent, though the system is a little unsettling with its bright yellow warning flashes from the mirror housings. It's enough to make you think you drove into a construction zone.
I didn't get any top-down time, but with the roof in place, road and wind noise were negligible. It's nicely insulated. Everything's here to allow for cooler-weather top-down cruising too--mega-seat heaters, three-zone climate control and a killer audio system.
COPY EDITOR CYNTHIA L. OROSCO: I had a great weekend in the A5. And while it seems odd to point this out in a convertible, we were grateful for the good HVAC system, because both days were pretty chilly. Some other convertibles I've driven seem to do a better job of insulating the cabin from the noise. But the A5 was fun to drive nonetheless, the power coming on easy the harder you pressed the pedal and the brakes being spot-on solid to bring the fun to a stop.
The driver and passenger seats offered good legroom, and the seats had good bolster, even though it was a bit of a chore climbing in and out, the car being so low to the ground. The back seat didn't seem like it would be very comfy, with next to no legroom and being a tight fit even for a purse or bag. But the trunk was roomy and offered plenty of space for our purchases. Other plusses: the rearview camera, the blind-spot warning lights on the side mirror housings, the back glass that actually allows you to see out.
With each model I drive, I love Audis more and more. The lines, the user-friendly radio and navigation controls, the good materials and all the power on tap. Now if only I had a reason--and the resources--to buy one.
SENIOR WEB REPORTER GREG MIGLIORE: This is a truly enjoyable cruiser to lap around town in. Nice, smooth steering with a little bit of feedback. The brakes are nice and responsive too, with satisfying pedal travel. For just a 2.0-liter I4, there is plenty of power in this motor, and it's perfect for a car this size and weight.
The chassis is solid and handles the pavement well; it's good for this convertible, which could easily be a total package for either a fun weekend car or a daily commuter. Or both.
Also worth noting is that the body looks elegant with nice lines and a presence set off by Audi's signature headlights. As Bob notes, the structural integrity is still there, which isn't always the case for droptops. The roof works well and easily. All in all, this is a thoroughly enjoyable car.

Happy Friday guys,
This week addition to our POP LIfestyle toolbox is – Portion Control. This one is all all about ensuring that you get what your body needs to help you manage the demands of your lifestyle.
So far we were talked about:
- natural and satisfying food options
- mindful eating and meal frequency to help you burn fat and stay lean
- lean protein
The truth is, we need a little bit of everything to help us stay on track and ward of binging and overeating or restricting calories too much. .Yes, if I tell you go ahead and cut down your food intake to 1200 calories of course you will loose weight. Unfortunately, you will also loose your energy, lean muscle (that actually helps you to burn more fat), and also will get out of touch of the natural biorhythm that help you guide and control your food intake based on what your body needs to stay healthy and function well. For exmple, if you need to oil your car. You go an get good car shop but they do not tell you: Hey I got this good oil but because it is so high quality you need half of it. I do not think so. It might run for a but but then it will break and you will need a little more then oil to get it fixed.
Anyway, the point I am trying to make is that restrictions will not get you far. Think about it, have you been around a person on a diet, are they happy? I do not think so. Depressed and obsessed.
And, yes, I did it all: 1000 calories, cabbage diets, pills, but nothing yelled long-term sustainable results that could be easily maintained througout my life without damaging my health. And forget about it when you are on vacation or a gathering. That is why these series of posts are designed to help you get back in touch with you body and stop feeding your emotions, give into peer pressure of you have to live a little, and help you slowly and gradually release food obsession both unhealthy and healthy food ones.
Through out my training (15 years), I noticed that depending on what I do my body tells me to tweak my carbohydrate, protein, and fats. If I do more more cardio and agility conditioning I tend to eat a little more carbs. On the days where strength and weight training is prevailing I eat more protein. But nonetheless, majority of the time it comes down to 1 serving of healthy protein, 1 serving of fiberfull carbs, and 2 -3 serving of vegetable to keep me light on my fet and ward of energy spikes (lows and highs).
Here is simple chart to help you learn portion sizes no matter where you are and in just as little as few weeks you will naturally see you body starting to tone and shape effortlessly:
So going forward, continue incorporating effective POP Tools (nutritional guidance and recipes) and free workouts routines and challenges into your daily routine, and you will be surprised just how much energy, vitality, and of course lean muslce you can gain.
Have a great weekend.

Bear Orphanage consists of two beautiful, naturalistic, five-acre habitats for the black bears of IEAS. Each habitat has the ability to house up to nine bears. The habitats are tailored to fit the specific needs of these animals, and all natural settings were incorporated in the final design and construction of this habitat. Each five-acre area features forest and meadow areas along with ponds and dens, which are all part of the natural ecosystem for the bear. There are two holding areas and two feeding areas in each habitat that allow the staff to safely feed the bears and monitor their health.
Bear Orphanage offers an enriching habitat that provides for the mental and physical well-being of the bears as well as an exciting, educational experience for all those who visit. Currently, there are ten black bears living in Black Bear Orphanage. Since being moved into this natural environment, these bears have been exhibiting natural behaviors that you would see in the wild such as hibernating, swimming in a pond, climbing trees, digging for grubs and other insects and interacting with other bears.
Again, here at IEAS, we are strongly devoted to educating the public about the importance of preserving these amazing beings. Allowing the public to see these animals in their natural setting will provide us with an excellent opportunity to do just that. Informative conservation signs are found along the nature trail making the public aware of the importance and the need to conserve the magnificent animals.
We constructed Bear Orphanage to offer to an enriching habitat that will provide for the mental and physical well being of the bear residents as well as an exciting, educational experience for all those who visit. These large, natural habitats allow the bears to be as natural as they can be. Many of the bears have already exhibited natural behaviors such as forming social groups, digging their own dens, climbing trees and playing in the ponds.
With the reemergence of the American black bear into Texas, this is a prime opportunity to educate the public about the importance of preserving these animals. During the tours, we educate the public how to coexist with the black bear thus helping the bears in the wild increase their chances of successful reintroduction. For once, we have the opportunity to help bring back a native animal into the state of Texas. By educating the public, the reemergence of black bears in a viable population is not a dream but a reality.

The Korea Stock Exchange said it stop trading in shares of SK Global after an independent audit showed irregular book keeping and bad assets had wiped out its capital.
SK Global announced its chief financial officer Moon Duk-kyu would resign and take responsibility for the company's difficulties.
It also revealed another 500bn won ($400m) of previously undisclosed debt.
The trial of 10 leading executives of the parent company, including chairman Son Kil-seung, over accounting fraud and illegal stock transactions starts on Monday.
Irregular accounts
SK Global was put into receivership on 19 March after it was accused of falsifying earnings by more than $1.25bn in 2001 to cover losses.
SK Global reported a net loss of 297bn won in 2002 after writing down 477bn won in uncollectible debt repayment guarantees as losses in its balance sheet, the independent audit report said.
The Korea Stock Exchange did not say when the suspension of SK Global, which last traded at 4,000 won on Friday, would be lifted.
South Korea's new President Roh Moo-Hyun has promised to clean up big business, known as chaebols, which dominate the country's economy and are blamed for the financial crisis of 1997.
But on Friday, South Korea's Minister of Justice suggested the government might ease its crackdown, of which SK Group has been on the receiving end, because of the negative impact on the economy.

Dr. Michael Schwartz,
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for doing such a wonderful job on my Rhinoplasty!! It's something I'd seriously considered doing for the past 7 years or so, & I'm so glad you were my Surgeon. It's been a month & ½ since my surgery, but it feels as if I've looked & felt this great forever : ) I had relatively no pain associated with my surgery & as an added bonus, I Can Breathe! A month after my operation I met someone who told me I have a Perfect Nose and asked if anyone had told me that before! I couldn't believe it! I am now totally confident in my looks & no longer feel like my nose is the focal point of my face.
Thanks So Much!
I'm so happy with my results & want to tell you again how much I appreciate your going the extra mile to make me feel 100% comfortable going into surgery.
You're a true artist & as far as I can tell, the best facial plastic surgeon around!!
I can't say enough good things about my experience.
Thanks Again!!

Back to typing about Raw due to one person asking me "hey you know those articles you type up? yeah why'd you stop, you fuck?" So here's Raw.
Ambrose isn't here so Jericho talks to plant remains. I liked Ambrose/Jericho when they ignored the feuding talk shows crap and moved to being serious, but forcing a plant into the feud due to people's tweets smells of 'trying too hard' sauce. WWE sees Ambrose as wacky but we see him as crazy and there's a big difference. I'm old, I'm having none of it and fuck plants. Big Cass shows up.
"You may be the best in the world at what you do, but I am seven feet tall."- Big Cass sums up WWE's mind-set since 1983.
Backstage, Steph says she 1000% agrees with Jericho. She then puts Jericho in the main event against Cass and she mocks him. Jericho takes it because she's Steph despite her bad understanding of math.
Ziggler eliminated Corbin from last week's Battle Royal and he had a pussy pow-wow and beat up Ziggler afterwards so they're wrestling tonight. One of the best things about the post-Wrestlemania season has been every segment feeling like something's happening rather than two randomers showing up and the commentators talking about Alex Ferguson. Corbin counters Ziggler's Deadliest Move In All Of Wrestling The Schoolboy to get a proper win over Ziggler.
Last Raw Natalya slapped Ric and put him in the Sharpshooter, which people told me was his punishment for getting drunk at an airport. How come when I got drunk at work they fired me? Extreme Rules is going to be submissions only with Flair banned from ringside. Ric 'n' Charlotte try to get Shane to reverse the decision but he disagrees and bans Ric from ringside tonight too. So both GMs are good guys who don't take no crap from the bad guys? Great dynamic.
Now it's R-Truth vs. Fandango and on Smackdown it'll be Gorgeous Truth vs. Goldango. How come these fuckers get team names and Anderson & Gallows are left hanging? I'll credit them for having the Truth and Goldust feudfriendshipwhateverthefuckitis last this long but the comedy's been more miss than hit so "eh." Truth gets the win over Fandango after a distraction, crowd chanted "We Want Sandow."
Back to the weird world of backstage WWE where everyone's made to stand in a particular place for the camera.
Director: "OK, we've got the beautiful mise-en-scene sorted out, now everyone look natural!"
And then to make things sillier, Zayn interrupts but makes sure he appears on his mark and doesn't ruin the shot. I zone out during these backstage bits and just wait for the commentators to tell me what I missed later.
Charlotte vs. Paige with Natalya on commentary. Paige gets to mock the Flair strut but camera's more focused on Nat. Charlotte tries to cheat but Nat tells the ref, which brings out Ric. Shane O Mac and an amry of referees take Ric back to Shady Acres and Paige gets The Deadliest Move In All Of Wrestling The Schoolgirl on Charlotte. Charlotte needs Ric and/or bullshit to win so the build for a no Ric and/or bullshit match makes sense in an old-school way.
Zayn vs. Miz. If Zayn wins, he's in the four-way at Extreme Rules. JBL calls bullshit on Zayn getting a IC Title shot when he lost at Payback. The drunk has a point. Miz tries to cheat but it doesn't work so Zayn pins him with the Helluva Kick.
The IC Title scene is like rock, paper, scissors: Zayn beats Miz, Miz beats Cesaro (w/ help from Maryse), Cesaro beats Owens, Owens beats Zayn.
Last week Emma beat Becky Lynch in a bit of a surprise. As Becky is being interviewed, Emma shows up NXT's very own Dana Brooke! They attack Becky and she gives her the pat on the head. They're not going to wait until the PPV for that move?
Cameron: Hey, WWE could do with a new bad girl in the Women's Division!
WWE: Good idea!
*releases Cameron, brings up Dana Brooke*
Darren Young asks Bob Backlund to be his life couch. Too early to tell what this is yet.
We go to Up Up Down Down with Ziggler. On Raw? Aw no, it turns into another horrible advert this time for Pizza Hut. They eat pizza but DON'T USE THE DIP. What the fuck.
Owens asks Ryder "Why do you exist?" That's a bit too close Kev.
Reigns & Usos get interviewed and they still don't do or say anything other than "We are family, uhhsss." Big deal, we've all got family we're not all test-tube babies like Tom Phillips.
Rusev won a battle royal to be the Number One Contender to Kalisto's U.S. Title so he's wrestling Sin Cara tonight. Makes sense. They show an exclusive FB video of Kalisto being interviewed but they don't play the YT promo where Rusev promised to eat his heart. So here it is. My mate reckoned Rusev was back to his 2014 ways of killing people as U.S. Champion with Lana by his side. Sin Cara won via via The Deadliest Move In All Of Wrestling The Schoolboy.
Another Puerto Rico promo but they don't tell me which one's Puerto and which ones Rico.
It's an elimination match with Gallows & Anderson (who don't have a tag name but with AJ they're The Club. But they're all together tonight and not announced as The Club so that must be their name in the same way The League of Nations were The Lads.) & Styles take on Reigns and the most annoying cousins since Hewey, Dewey and Louie.
I've enjoyed the feud so far and the staring contest between Styles and Reigns on who's going to blink first and turn into a dick. Jey Uso gets eliminated via The Deadliest Move In All Of Wrestling The Schoolboy but Jimmy evens the odds with The Second Deadliest Move In All Of Wrestling The Small Package. Jey got eliminated via Styles' flying elbow during the break (ha ha) and Anderson is taken out via Superman Punch. Styles immediately attacks Roman after the pin, because he's pissed his friend's gone. That display of emotion is what separates the 'acts like a character' Roman and the 'acts like a human being' Styles. Roman tries to put Styles through the announce table but Anderson & Gallows don't want that so they attack Roman with chairs for the DQ. Because they care more about their friend than the match, dammit. The Usos brawl with Anderson & Gallows but get nowhere but Roman attacks both men which gives Styles the chance to attack. Now last week Styles hesitated using the chair on Roman but now Styles doesn't waste any time trying to give him the Styles Clash on it (and it's pointed out by the commentators too!) but Roman's too strong and back-drops Styles out the ring. Styles is in position for the springboard and they stare each other down until Roman grabs the chair…and tosses it to Styles. Styles kicks it back and as Roman reaches for it, Styles tries the springboard but Reigns gets out the way and Styles just leaves.
I FUCKING LOVED ALL OF THIS. We're getting character development, big springboard mcflips, brawling, a purpose for The Usos and establishing Anderson & Gallows as a big deal right off their debut. Styles & Reigns have gone from "I don't want to use a chair on you because I want to be the good guy" to "I really want to use the chair on you but I want you to be the first guy to do it because chairs are for pussies." Tremendous stuff.
Owens vs. Ryder next. Wait, that last match wasn't the main event? I'm spent. Owens mocks Ryder but the crowd's like me and needs a cup of tea. Ryder gets some token offence but he's been written out of history like the bad Pharaohs of Egypt.
Owens is currently the only person on the roster who watches wrestling sat down.
So if I'm reading the right click-bait sites, Owens is going to be fired tomorrow.
We get YET ANOTHER replay of Enzo's injury. If you're unhappy with we not featuring Enzo in Botchamania just watch Raw and you'll see it a dozen times.
No-expense-spared smartphone-filmed advert for Dana Carvey's new impression show. They were making jokes about Carvey's impressions on The Larry Sanders Show in 1992! Who's on next week, Andrew Dice Clay?
New Day are out now and I'm clock-watching. In a nice touch The Vaudevillains get a windowed promo and it's in black and white.
It's New Day vs. Dudleys so it's worth posting Bubba's tweet:
It's a cool insult and I love Bubba but I stand by my criticism: they've been switching from good guys to bad guys so frequently the last few months they're kangaroo-hopping.
Anyway, The Villains run out (in colour) and cause the distraction for The Duds win.
Jericho vs. Big Cass. A new headliner on Raw? Something's got to be up. Jericho gets attacked during his entrance and his jacket is taken and it's only after the lights come on we find out it's Ambrose. That looked cool. Ambrose tears the $15,000 jacket (that's $25,000 Canadian) and they fight. Jericho is distraught and forgets about Big Cass, who tosses him in for the Dirty Deeds. No match.
Back to Steph & Shane (end this show end this show) as they talk about Jericho's jacket. That was it? I typed that shit up? Well I'm not deleting it.
We go back to Jericho complaining about his coat and I think we got the time wrong as everyone just waits the clock out whilst not doing anything. Felt like an ending to one of the Police Squad episodes.
Overall: If you ignore the weird backstage camera shots, the over-long time slot, the constant references to A NEW ERA and all the Steph/Shane shit, Raw has been frigging great since Wrestlemania. Styles vs. Roman is interesting and exciting enough to get me to at least fast forward the show but there's also the IC Title hunt, the Ambrose vs. Jericho feud (when they're serious and not planting) and the Women's division.
Then I check Twitter and everyone's talking about this:
There's no mention of it on Raw or WWE.com so presumably it'll be a non-televised show but it was all that was being discussed so I got worried I'd slept and missed an important bit of Raw.
And I leave you with this GIF

Great gas gun
I got this gun for target shooting and eventually skirmishes with mates it's shoots hard and is easy to use just wish it came with more magazines
Live the gun
It's an amazing gun
Awesome gun!!!
Whilst i shoot targets with air guns and firearms, i bought this gun as a plinker at home to work on speed engaging targets, i have to say it, i love this gun and got so much more than expected, thoroughly impressed!!!
Good size 29 BB magazine with working slide catch upon empty magazine.
Has a very good weight and feels very solid.
The rate of fire is very quick when you get used to the gun.
For a smoothbore BB firing gun, the accuracy is remarkable.
The blowback has a tidy kick on it.
Very easily stripped and maintainable.
In the UK we have a legislation called the VCR act limiting airsoft guns, this gun complies with that particular legislation but the colour scheme i have to say is very pretty in my opinion, coming second to my black and silver .177 1911.
The most important thing, it is extremely fun and that is something we all want from a gun of any kind.
Will be adding a micro red dot and a compensator to my HX1005, but out of the box, it is nothing short of spectacular.
I would like to add, whilst i shoot the guns i shoot normally, this gun will cost me a fortune, would be a shame not to use it in CQB scenarios and skirmish battles, so i am taking the sports up this gun is used for and i really can not wait to spend that money because of this gun.

Bishop William Pakenham Walsh ... all dressed up and ready for action in mission (Photograsph: Patrick Comerford, 2010)
Patrick Comerford
For four years, while I was working for the Church Mission Society Ireland (CMS Ireland), a large, three-quarter length life-size portrait of Bishop William Pakenham Walsh hung in my office in Overseas House, Rathmines. Now the portrait is hanging once again, but this time in the Church of Ireland Theological Institute.
In the last few months, CMS Ireland has sold Overseas House and is renting an office around the corner in Church of Ireland House, Rathmines. In the process of moving out, CMS has kindly agreed to this portrait being moved to my present office. A similar portrait hangs in the dining room in the Bishop's House in Kilkenny.
After its foundation in 1814, CMS Ireland had its Dublin offices first on the corner of Earl Street and O'Connell Street (then Sackville Street), from 1816 at 16 Upper O'Connell Street, and from 1877 in No 17 Upper O'Connell Street. CMS moved to 8 Dawson Street in 1884, and in 1895 to 21 Molesworth Street. Both a centenary thanksgiving fund set up in 1914 and a bequest from the Potterton family helped CMS buy new premises at 35 Molesworth Street, dedicated in 1929 by Archbishop John Gregg of Dublin.
In 1975, CMS moved to Overseas House. Overseas House was opened on 22 February 1975 by Archbishop George Otto Simms of Armagh as Patron of what was then called the Hibernian Church Missionary Society.
The portrait of Bishop Pakenham Walsh by Harry B. Douglas was one of the mementoes brought from Molesworth Street to Overseas House in the 1970s.
Bishop William Pakenham Walsh (1820-1902) was Deputy Secretary of CMS Ireland from 1851 to 1873. During that time he was curate (1853-1858) and then Rector of Sandford Parish (1858-1873), which is close to Overseas House. William Pakenham Walsh later became Dean of Cashel (1873-1878) and Bishop of Ossory, Ferns and Leighlin (1878-1897). He died in Crinken House, Bray, in 1902.
When I first moved into my office in Overseas House in 2002, my two sons were overwhelmed and overawed by the formal portrait of the bishop in his convocation robes, including a white rochet, scarlet chimere, black scarf and academic hood. They wanted to know who the bishop was. When I explained that he had been one of my predecessors at CMS Ireland, they joked about me having to turn up at work dressed like this each day.
Archbishop Cosmo Lang in rochet and chimere ... he feared the portrait made him "look proud, pompous and prelatical"
Their witty comments reminded me of the story of Archbishop Cosmo Lang who, on seeing his portrait, remarked: "It makes me look proud, pompous and prelatical." To this, a wit responded: "To which of those epithets does your Grace take exception?"
The rochet that is still worn by many bishops on formal occasions is sometimes referred to as "Lawn Sleeves". With the topcoat of a chimere, that is how many Anglican bishops still dress for their Episcopal consecration, at formal services, and as they pose for formal photographs at General Synods or at the Lambeth Conference.
Not a black chimere in sight ... the bishops of the Church of Ireland in rochets and scarlet chimeres at the General Synod in Galway two years ago
But the chimere, like so much of clerical dress, is an academic robe. It ought to be black. The scarlet version comes from the robes of a Doctor of Divinity at the University of Oxford. At one time, almost all Anglican archbishops were graduates of Oxford and often they were in the habit of awarding degrees to newly-consecrated bishops and dressing them as though they too were holders of an Oxford DD. Similarly, bishops of the Church of Ireland often received DD from Dublin University soon after their consecration.
The custom of giving degrees out with the office has ceased, and so most Anglican bishops ought, by rights, to dress in black and white, unless they want to dress in the customary and appropriate sacramental robes.
Bishop Pakenham Walsh received the degrees BD and DD from Trinity College Dublin in 1873 when he was made Dean of Cashel.
But those who think a cope, chasuble or mitre is outdated or no longer appropriate should remember it is a long time since an Irish bishop ever sat in convocation or was ever conferred with an honorary DD from Oxford, Cambridge or Dublin.

RHONJ Recap: Teresa Giudice Mends Her Relationship With Joe Gorga
Plus, Melissa Gorga shocks everyone when she calls Kathy Wakile a whore on the July 28 episode of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey.'
Miracles do happen! Teresa Giudice finally said she's sorry. During an exhausting therapy session with Dr. V on the July 28 episode of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey, Teresa, Joe Gorga, Melissa Gorga and Joe Giudice all agree to put the past behind them and move forward in an effort to repair their relationships.
Teresa Giudice & Joe Gorga Make Up — 'RHONJ' Recap: On Thin Guid-Ice
Following their productive therapy session, Teresa, Melissa and Kathy Wakile partake in a bit of cooking with a side of cocktail-ing. And by that, we mean Melissa does all the drinking.
Joe, Joe, Rosie Pierri and Rich Wakile do a bit of fishing, but Kathy's husband makes everything a bit awkward. He asks Joe Gorga and Joe Giudice who they think won the fight, and then he says that he's seen Rosie's vajayjay and it's covered by a big afro. (TMI, Rich. TMI.)
After a few hours, they all reconnect at the lodge and have a nice sit-down dinner. Melissa appears to be very drunk and calls Kathy a whore! However, Kathy doesn't seem too offended.
Teresa Giudice Promises To Talk To Jacqueline Laurita
Following dinner, everyone plays some trust games, including Caroline Manzo. (We knew she'd come in handy at some point.) She mentions how she drove four hours to get there. (Four hours?! For her sake, let's hope Bravo provided a limo service.)
Before Caroline falls into Teresa's arms (during a trust game), she makes Teresa promise to try and work on her relationship with Jacqueline Laurita. Teresa reluctantly agrees and sheds a few tears. (Joe Giudice cries too! And then he laughs like he did during that mysterious phone call in season four.)
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Will Teresa mend her relationship with Jacqueline like she did with Joe and Melissa?

Overall Guide : It's beautiful to go in winter. The snow turns it into a dream landscape, the frozen river becomes an ice rink that you can use safely, without the summer crowd. There are loads of places to see, but the surrounding... more countryside is spectacular, too. The breakfast in the bakery cited by Stieg Larson in the old city alone is worth the trip!
Overall rating 1
Overall Guide : Improve rail and bus transportation. More concerts and musical entertainment. Everything else is beautiful and serene.
Not to be missed Vasa Museum , Norrmalm , Historic walking tour
Overall rating 8
Not to be missed Historic walking tour , Storkyrkan

Overall Guide : Go to Skansen for children, a village in a city. Old traditions in the fairy tale village. The house of Pippi Longstocking, the dream of all children. Older children can lose themselves in the areas described in the Millennium trilogy.... more You'll find a beautiful Stockholm that's not advertised very much.

Ross Wayman has two bits of advice for anyone still cleaning up from recent natural catastrophes and for when the next inevitable storm arrives.
First: Use a local contractor, or at least one from inside the state.
Second: Have that contractor close by when the insurance adjuster arrives.
"There's a lot of companies that come into an area because of a storm," said Wayman, general manager with Forty Fort-based Blue Square Builders.
Like many companies ramping up in the wake of several damaging storms, Blue Square specializes in guiding homeowners through the insurance claim process. Blue Square does 400 to 500 roofs a year in Eastern Pennsylvania.
"One of my best pieces of advice is at least use somebody that's from Pennsylvania," he said. "If you don't use me, make sure the homeowner does their research on the company that they're using."
A storm May 28 brought a tornado that touched down in Newton Twp. and sent heavy winds and pelting hail through the Abingtons down into Scranton.
Hail storms also struck in parts of Luzerne County on April 15.
Both storms easily caused hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage. While officials reported no injuries, some affected property owners still have months to go before their homes and businesses are fully restored.
The cleanup is finishing at Red Barn Village Bed and Breakfast in Newton Twp., near where the tornado landed, but restoration work is just getting started and the business remains closed, owner Bert Ayers said.
The storm damaged the roof and miniature golf course at the bed and breakfast.
Edward Gilmartin, chief executive at Gilmartin Insurance Agency, expects to receive claims stemming from the hail storms over the next one to two years, he said.
"Roofing companies are going to know that there was a hail event here, and they come in like storm chasers," he said. "We'll be getting claims for this for a while."
The April storm in Luzerne County drummed up more claims for Gilmartin, nearly 100, compared to the May storm in Lackawanna County, which produced about 60 claims in the immediate aftermath.
Gilmartin, who has offices in Scranton, Pittston and Lehighton, suggested that's because the April storm struck more populated areas while the May storm caused the heaviest damage in rural places.
Insurance claims typically take a few weeks to approve, Wayman explained. His crews are working on several roofs in Luzerne County from the April storm, with jobs pending in Lackawanna County.
The contractor said using local — or at least in-state — builders is best because it makes tracking them down easier if something goes wrong down the road. While insurance companies and homeowners might groan over how much they're shelling out, contractors in the service industry are comfortably on the other side of the coin with a steady stream of work.
"The storm work for us has been fairly busy," said Matt Isaac, owner of Apex Tree and Earth in the Back Mountain. "We've had some storms that have done a lot of tree damage, but this year it seems like we're getting them more frequently."
Maple and white pine tend to come down easier in the wind; however, he saw more damage to oak trees in the most recent storms.
"I don't really have a good reason for it," he said, noting that oak trees tend to be more sturdy.
Add to that, he's been especially busy felling dead ash trees now starting to rot away amid the statewide emerald ash borer pest infestation.
His best advice to landowners: If it's dead, get it down, because insurance won't cover damage from a falling dead tree.
"If it's a live tree, they call that an act of nature or an act of God. It's a whole different thing," he said.

Joseph Stack, authorities said, flew his small air plane into an office building in North Central Austin, where several employees of the Internal Revenue Service worked. Stack and one IRS employee, Vernon Hunter, 68, were killed in the attack.
The daughter of a man who crashed his small plane into an Internal Revenue Service building called her father a hero for his anti-government views but said his actions, which killed a tax service employee, were "inappropriate."
Joe Stack's adult daughter, Samantha Bell, spoke to ABC's "Good Morning America" from her home in Norway. Asked during a phone interview broadcast Monday if she considered her father a hero, she said: "Yes. Because now maybe people will listen."

"Who will I become with this decision I'm about to make?"
Decisions, decisions. Sometimes we make snap decisions, long drawn out decisions, bad/good decisions and sometimes we put off making any decision at all for a myriad of reasons. Bottom line: We really don't know what will happen once we go down a certain "fork in the road" and how much it may change our whole existence.Read More

Integrity: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
This post is going to piss people off. This post is going to make you think. This post is going to, I hope, change the way you do business.
Are you ready?
Even if you're not, I am going to write this because YOU need to hear it and you need to understand why we're currently in a crisis, a digital integrity crisis.
As a journalist, ethics and integrity matter to me — even if I haven't actually written or served (because it is a service) as a journalist for over 5 years.
Integrity is the quality of being honest. It means that the story behind the headline is just as important as the headline. It means the sources are true and there is no "fudging of figures or facts." It means everyone working on the project was paid a fair wage, worked a fair amount of time, boundaries were respected and creativity flourished.
Because that's the issue, right?
Creativity cannot flourish in an environment that is… for lack of a better word, shady.
Let's think of creativity like beautiful, robust roses. They will die after a few days, but what if you preserved the integrity of their environment? If you gave them new water, protected their boundaries and made sure they weren't near any fans or pets or too much sunlight, what do you think would happen?
I can tell you — they would last another week.
But if you just leave them, festering in the old water, in direct sunlight, on top of a heater? They're dead in 5 days or less.
The beauty of roses is that you can choose, as their partner in beautification, if you want to protect and respect them or if you're going to just take their beauty without giving anything back.
Creativity is the same thing.
Creative individuals need to do a variety of things to stay creative, especially as their businesses and responsibilities grow. Many creatives — think designers, artists and craftswomen — create their products BEFORE they even sell them! (This is why their commission-based work is better… or work they never intend to sell. #thinkaboutit)
To be a creative with a business mind, it means you've got to protect yourself. In an agency — which, truly, is what my company is, we are a one-stop-shop for all of your needs… and, as we close Q1, I do actually have a WE instead of the royal "we," I have contractors and collaborators who believe and trust in ME — the account lead corresponded with clients.
Now, you, especially if you're a solopreneur, girl boss, hustler, probably think this is weird.
Why would someone else to talk to the client FOR me when I am doing the work?
I wholeheartedly agreed with you… until I saw how nice it could be!
After years of being the client, working in-house, being the questioner, being the source, being the advocate, being the creator… I suddenly had an advocate protecting MY creative genius.
And boy did that baby flourish.
I fired off ideas like a machine gun, loved every project I touched, learned how to be a better advocate for MYSELF when it came to my side-hustles and, finally? Finally, I learned the skills I needed to use to launch my own business TWO MONTHS after deciding that was something I wanted to pursue.
Once I launched the business, I learned to literally separate my brain… my best tip? Separate email inboxes!! (More on this in another blog).
I separated my brain and then a good friend of mine, also, a millennial entrepreneur, said this:
Your business isn't you. It's someone else. It's someone YOU answer to.
And as I laid on that waxing table (because yes, she's my waxer), I realized what a freakin' genius she was?!
That was the day the seed for THIS blog was born.
At the end of the day, in order to flourish, creativity must be respected and protected.
In a digital business world, too many people expect work for free, refuse to honor boundaries and try to convince you all will be well if you just do XYZ on their terms.
Even someone like me, of the highest integrity, with ethics in her core and a very, very, VERY strong sense of self, is susceptible.
But, what about those of us who are not fierce?
What about the mommas, undergrads and struggling artists? What about the people who create for the pure joy of creating?
It is OUR job, those of us with a fierce, strong, fearless voice, to stand up and say "NOT TODAY." Pay your people well, pay yourself well; fight to determine YOUR worth, on YOUR terms.
This isn't a problem isolated to the internet but it IS a problem that has resulted from the nature of the internet and it being the way brands, individuals and companies do business and, interact with businesses.
It is a problem of digital integrity.
The golden rules still apply — be who you are, be true to your voice, honor agreements, honor the talent that is shared with you, respect boundaries and understand that if someone is doing you a favor, it must be really and truly cherished.
And at the end of the day?
