Our morning prayer was short. This is normally the case when my husband and I go out early.We meet together to give praise to God and allow for Him to make of the day what He will, with Him allowing us to serve Him to the best of our ability. We pray for our children and grandchildren to have a good day. That's basically it for now, except when someone needs immediate prayer. Only, this morning I added one more tidbit. A request for God to keep us safe today. After I was done I pondered this. God has always kept us safe, so why did I pray this? We aren't going anywhere that isn't safe. Thinking no more of this, I prepared to leave.
So here we are taking the ten minute walk from Point A to arrive at Point B. You may have to help me with this part as I am lousy at algebra. On our trek, we came to a busy intersection. We stopped on the sidewalk anticipating a short wait at the crosswalk. Yea, no waiting. The little man is walking. We can cross now. This must be our lucky day.
We approached the crosswalk together. I noticed one driver slowly approaching the light. Something out her window had her immediate attention. I don't know that she even noticed us at the crossing. She finally stopped, and we continued ahead to cross the street. My husband, who was on my right, was two steps ahead now since I slowed down a bit watching the young driver. I noticed that she was still not looking at us as we proceeded. This made me a little nervous. I should have waited to cross, but didn't. I was directly in front of her car now, and focusing on the end of the crosswalk….when she accelerated. My husband tried to pull me out of harm's way as the car was coming straight toward me. I screamed and she stopped, but not in time. I was bumped with her car. Apparently, she hadn't noticed us crossing until I screamed. She was making a right turn on red. Her car made contact with my body, but with very little impact. I'm talking minuscule impact, here. I wasn't injured. I was just jarred a little, that's it.
How could this be? God shielded us, that's how. My husband and I have been recipients of His powerful, awesome ways, many times. Like I said, this took place in only seconds. I can't even recall any details, it happened so fast. All I remember is after I screamed, my husband was with me pulling me back with him, being bumped, then my hands on the hood of her car. And for some reason I found myself pulling my foot out from under the car to balance myself. (?) This was when I made eye contact with the teenage driver. She appeared shocked. She opened her mouth a couple of times to speak, I think, but emitted no sound. I wasn't hurt at all, as far as I could tell. Amazing!
I think she was wondering if I would report the accident. I took a quick look back at our morning prayer, and the fact that God had kept us safe determined the outcome of this situation. What would Jesus do? (WWJD) If you have never read the book In His Steps I challenge you to do so. That book is where those initials originated. That church congregation defined what Christianity is all about.
Jesus would forgive this young driver unconditionally. No doubt about it. I opted to do the same. I held my hand up and mouthed the words "It's okay." Then walked with my husband to the end of the crosswalk. I was fine. She may have been too scared to speak. I hope this scared her enough to pay attention more while driving. And I really think she will. If she gives herself a chance to think about it, she will possibly realize the near tragedy of hitting two people with her car, had one not screamed to get her attention.
After crossing to the other side we came across a couple that saw what just took place, but we didn't need them as witnesses. God kept us safe, just as I asked Him to do. It took only seconds for me to ask, and it took only seconds for Him to answer.
Thanks be to God. He gives us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Thanks for viewing.

I don't have that.
Even when my bathroom is at its cleanest, it doesn't sparkle. Does yours? (It doesn't count if your fixtures are actually brand new.)
Forget sparkly vampires, I've always wanted a sparkly bathroom.
My friend Kristin told me a recipe for a homemade refill for the automatic shower cleaning sprayers exists. She buys an automatic cleaning unit, uses it, then refills it with her own concoction when its empty. I've been poking around the Internet with the help of Google to find some homemade cleaner recipes that might give me the bathroom of my dreams.
With little effort, I was able to find this recipe from Frugal Upstate.
One of the great things about these homemade cleaners is most of us have the ingredients on hand. I had to make one modification because I use white vinegar instead of Jet Dry in my dishwasher. I figure if it prevents spots on my dishes, it'll prevent spots in my tub, too.
I also needed to adjust the measurements so it fit into my spray bottle, which was an almost empty hydrogen peroxide bottle. Here's my recipe:
- 1/3 cup hydrogen peroxide
- 1/3 cup rubbing alcohol
- 5 drops Dawn dish washing detergent
- 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 cup water
|I bought this handy spray bottle of hydrogen peroxide at Walmart.
I dried everything with a towel and added a thin layer of baby oil to the sink faucet to protect the sparkle. I've read and heard from several sources that you can coat your shower with a thin layer of car wax to protect it from soap scum. I may try this at some point.
Unfortunately, the built-up soap residue on both the sink and tub kept it from being a 100% success. That's something I need to work on. I think I'll try removing the soap scum with the baking soda and Dawn trick I used on the burned pot. Not today, though. I'm determined to work on my quilt today.

Udyr/Old Lore
- 1st Biography
|The mystics of Ionia delve into the deepest mysteries of Valoran, pioneering the most inner depths of spirituality. Their adepts are some of the most devout proponents of enlightenment and harmony... but as is always the case, there are those who follow a very different path. Born in a grassy clearing under a red moon, Udyr has always been compelled by the primal drive within him. His will was not untempered, simply undomesticated. As a boy, he toiled on his father's farm, but he felt a much deeper connection with the mustangs that would graze in the distant fields than with the townsfolk who would visit. Oftentimes he was dragged into the house at night with a swat and a scolding when his parents would find him sleeping beneath the stars.
On the day of his sixteenth birthday, Udyr bade his family farewell and struck a path to the east, determined to shed the trappings of civilized society. Freed of the shackles of cultural expectations, Udyr tapped into a well of inner ferocity he hadn't known before. His feral senses roiled to the surface and he let them overcome him. It was at this point in his life that Udyr truly lost his humanity. Poachers and travelers who entered his territory did so at terrible risk, and rarely managed to leave it.
A monk on a long journey passed through his woods one day, and Udyr decided to scare him, leaping from a nearby brush. The monk casually turned and redirected Udyr to one side. Udyr, enraged, tried time and time again to best him, but the monk was unassailable. When Udyr was exhausted, the monk wordlessly beckoned him to follow, and together they walked in silence to the Hirana Monastery. The monks there took him in, and taught him to harness and control his animalistic fury... most of the time.

It's 8 a.m., and although the doors don't open to the public for another two hours, the low-hum levels of excitement are palpable. Vendors string up company banners, put out eclectic artwork, display handmade goods and trinkets. Countless colorful and bold images beckon from behind their transparent armor, what can be seen here is every comic book lover's dream.
It's a gathering place for the weird, the freaky, the awesome. It's Jet City Comic Con.
Once 10 a.m. rolls around, the real fun begins. Costume clad heroes and baddies stroll alongside one another amicably, beloved and infamous characters alike come to life: walking, talking…eating cheeseburgers.
Amidst the comic-chaos, our Uncharted Waters team can be found. A central corner booth, our prime real estate location gives us a front row seat to the amazingness that unfolds before us. Here, we discuss the benefits of floating and acupuncture with Green Lantern and talk about holistic wellness with one of the Na'vi people.
We know, it may seem a little strange at first. What is a holistic wellness center doing at a comic book convention?
"There's a definite sci-fi element to floating. From movie altered states, like Minority Report, to TV shows like Fringe, Stranger Things and even The Simpson's – floating brings this sci-fi element to the surface as a tangible reality," Jon enthuses.
We may not have a Lasso of Truth, but we do have a Swiss Army Knife Modality for healing – armed with services that offer healing and restoration.
If calm is a super power, the members of our team are helping heroes acquire it. We invite Aquaman to stop in for a float, and believe Wolverine might benefit from a few iRest sessions. Of course, our services are available for those who don't wear a cape, although it might just be possible to turn the ordinary into extraordinary.

Institute of Management Accountants
A professional organization in the United States for management accountants and financial managers. These professionals specialize in the study of how managers use accounting and/or financial information in current or future business decisions. Unlike other accountants, they primarily report to the internal management of a company, rather than to an external body like shareholders or tax collection agencies. The Institute establishes common practices and ethical standards for these professionals, and awards the Certified Management Accountant designation upon the successful completion of an examination testing one's knowledge in four subjects: business analysis, management accounting and reporting, strategic management, and business applications.

Hard to
Kill, the Bass Mafia Bait Coffin (continued)
World Tests:
To test the Bait Mafia Bait Coffin we employed the box just like any other 3700
size box, using it to carry everything from jigs and hardbaits to plastics and
tools when fishing out of our backpacks or boats. Since durability is one of the
advertised key features we also devised a few other stress tests to see if we
could kill the Bait Coffin.
A closer look at the reinforced
We loaded up two Bass Mafia Bait Coffins and headed out into the field to see
just how the boxes would perform. In the boat the boxes slid right into the
standard storage compartments and the weight really wasn't an issue. On the
other hand when hiking from spot to spot during shore fishing with one or two of
these boxes in our backpacks the increased weight was evident.
This box is excellent for holding
If you are only
using only one of these boxes you will be able to quickly identify the box and
draw the right lures, but if you are using multiple Bait Coffins you will need
to label the boxes for easy identification as they are not transparent. This
really isn't an issue for me as I typically label all of my boxes on two sides,
but for some anglers the lack of ability to look through the top of the box and
see exactly which baits are inside could be viewed as an inconvenience.
A gasket surrounds the lid to form
a watertight seal
The Bait Coffin
has 48 separate compartments but they are quite narrow, which may be fine for
something as compact as a jig, but for most baits anglers will find they need to
remove at least half of the dividers to make the appropriate room. Because of
the angled edges there are four different sized dividers to store. The beauty of
this box is that there are so many options for configuration and storing
anything from jigs to swimbaits is easy.
Going for a dip
To test the
box's waterproof characteristics I dipped the box in the water and found that it
was also surprisingly buoyant. I was able to toss the box right into the lake
and it didn't matter how the box entered the water, it would quickly float up to
the surface after impact. When I opened the box I did observe some water had
entered the box but it was by no means flooded. A gasket surrounds the entire
edge of the lid and forms a semi-watertight seal when the box is latched shut.
Simulating a drop off a bridge
When fishing
off a bridge I simulated dropping the Bait Coffin over 15 feet onto the rock
lined river's edge. The box simply bounced off the rocks and into the river
where I had to scramble to chase the floating box downstream. When I finally
caught up with the Bait Coffin I found a few cosmetic scratches but absolutely
no cracked plastic.
The Bait Coffin ends up in the
water and floats downstream
While the box
had survived the fall how would it stand up to a crush test? I jumped up and
down on the box, even stood two boxes together and did my best sumo impression
and yet could do nothing to break the tops on the boxes or snap the hinges. The
Bait Coffin was proving to be quite hard to kill and it was obvious we needed
something a little more drastic. I turned to Cal and said "let's go get the

If there's any conference that looks forward to the fresh slate of a new season in 2018, it's the Pac-12. The league missed the College Football Playoff for the second time in four tries last year and endured a disastrous — to put it mildly — bowl season that saw teams go 1-8 overall with few competitive contests. That's all in the past though, as commissioner Larry Scott and his 12 schools look to turn the page and underscore that things on the gridiron out West are not quite as dour as the national narrative suggests. There are a handful of legitimate Playoff contenders entering this year's campaign, a deep middle-class of teams sure to complicate division races and a handful of budding superstars that should factor heavily in the race for the Heisman Trophy once again. While it's true there's nowhere, really, to go but up for the Pac-12 in 2018, the conference appears primed to get back on track going forward.
Leading the charge will once again be Chris Petersen's Washington Huskies, who are on paper the Pac-12's only truly elite team and a heavy favorite to win the conference crown and make the final four. The group up in Seattle checks off all the boxes you're looking for in a front-runner, including a savvy quarterback in Jake Browning, elite skill position talent like tailback Myles Gaskin, a stout defense and the best depth in the trenches on both sides of the ball. They'll have a chance right away to cement their name in the national conversation with a trip to Atlanta to open against Auburn in Week 1, and will also benefit from hosting rival Stanford at home late in the season. Speaking of the Cardinal, they'll be a contender once again thanks in part to what should be the school's best offense since the days of Andrew Luck throwing passes on the Farm. Bryce Love headlines the group as a dynamic threat to score from just about everywhere but quarterback K.J. Costello should be able to take some of the pressure off in his second season as the established starter at quarterback. If there's one area of concern for David Shaw's team it's on defense, which is something you could also say for the rest of the teams in the league as well.
Elsewhere in the Pac-12 North, Oregon should be a team that is a regular in the top 25 for Mario Cristobal's first full year in charge up in Eugene. Quarterback Justin Herbert, when healthy, has the look of a first-round pick behind center and the team should benefit from a relatively stable offseason after so much change the past few years. After the Ducks though, the rest of the division is in various stages of rebuilding mode. Cal was better than their 5-7 record from 2017 suggests and returns most of their offense, but it will still be tough to be a week-in, week-out threat in the Pac-12 until head coach Justin Wilcox can add to the depth on defense. Washington State will always be a pesky thorn in everybody's side as long as Mike Leach is in charge but the Cougars are facing massive coaching turnover (six new assistants) and it remains to be seen if the program is truly over the tragic loss of quarterback Tyler Hilinski. Oregon State figures to once again remain in the cellar even with a bit of a jolt from new coach Jonathan Smith.
While there's a somewhat clear pecking order in the North, the Pac-12 South is about as wide-open as the division ever has been. USC once again will trot out the most talent of any of the six teams, but there's still plenty of skepticism over the future of head coach Clay Helton and just how much depth the Trojans will have come the end of the season. Seeking not to repeat the quarterback controversy from two years ago, Helton has opted to go with true freshman J.T. Daniels at quarterback — a move that could pay off longterm but might lead to issues early as the signal-caller who should still be in high school adjusts to life in the Pac-12. Southern Cal remains the preseason media favorite to win the South but the door is certainly open for two others in Utah and Arizona.
In Salt Lake City, it might just be now or never for Kyle Whittingham's squad despite a tough slate of crossover games (Oregon/Washington) on the schedule. The Utes get both the Wildcats and Trojans at Rice-Eccles and easily sport the South's stingiest defense. The offense, a constant issue ever since joining the Pac-12, could be much more consistent than in years past thanks to a backfield that sports second-year QB Tyler Huntley and the terrific one-two punch of Zack Moss and Armand Shyne. Speaking of good second-year signal-callers, Kevin Sumlin finds himself in a great position as a first-year head coach at Arizona by having Heisman candidate Khalil Tate to work with. The bulk of a young defense is also back in Tucson and if the new staff can help bring Tate along as a passer, that elusive trip to the Rose Bowl might not be so far out of reach for the Wildcats like it once was.
Despite all that firepower to work with and high expectations though, Sumlin won't be the most-watched first-year coach in the division thanks to the arrival of Chip Kelly at UCLA and the ever-quotable Herm Edwards at Arizona State. The Sun Devils have a chance to surprise a bit with quarterback Manny Wilkins under center and a budding superstar in wideout N'Keal Harry, but the team has one of the most difficult schedules in the country and a huge unknown in the coaching staff. Not much is expected of the Bruins in Kelly's first season given numerous roster issues in Westwood, but nobody is putting it past the spread offense guru to get the team to be competitive in short order. Figuring out who starts at quarterback from a number of options is task No. 1 for the powder blues, but issues abound along the offensive line, running back and on defense. Some of those same issues are present up at Colorado as well, which looks ticketed toward another down season and probably needs to make a bowl game at a minimum to save Mike MacIntyre's job in Boulder going forward.

A new blood pressure measurement device could change the way doctors record their patients' readings, it has been claimed.
Scientists at the University of Leicester have developed the new technology, which uses a sensor on the wrist to record a person's pulse wave.
A mathematical model is then employed to determine the pressure close to the heart, also known as the 'central aortic systolic pressure' (CASP).
Scientists say that a person's CASP gives a much more accurate reading than the current method, which measures blood pressure in the arm and does not always provide a reliable indication of the pressure in the larger arteries close to the heart.
Lead researcher Professor Bryan Williams, professor of medicine at the University of Leicester, described the new technology as 'a big advance', although he admitted that it will not replace the current method of blood pressure measurement overnight.
He explained: 'Further work will define whether such measurements are preferred for everybody or whether there is a more defined role in selective cases to better decide who needs treatment and who doesn't and whether the treatment is working optimally.'
Dr Choon Meng Ting, from Singapore-based medical device company HealthStats, claimed that the technology should be useful for doctors and patients, as well as for pharmaceutical companies running clinical trials.
He added: 'All these will ultimately bring about more cost savings for patients, reduce the incidences of stroke and heart attacks, and save more lives.'
The research is published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and was welcomed by Judy O'Sullivan, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation.
Ms O'Sullivan said that measuring blood pressure close to the heart appears to be a better indicator of the effectiveness of treatment than the standard method.
However, she observed: 'While this new device is a step in the right direction, the conventional and well-established way of measuring blood pressure will be what most patients experience for some time to come.'

The Paris Review's 1956 interview with William Faulkner is amazing. An excerpt–
INTERVIEWER: Then what would be the best environment for a writer?
FAULKNER: Art is not concerned with environment either; it doesn't care where it is. If you mean me, the best job that was ever offered to me was to become a landlord in a brothel. In my opinion it's the perfect milieu for an artist to work in. It gives him perfect economic freedom; he's free of fear and hunger; he has a roof over his head and nothing whatever to do except keep a few simple accounts and to go once every month and pay off the local police. The place is quiet during the morning hours, which is the best time of the day to work. There's enough social life in the evening, if he wishes to participate, to keep him from being bored; it gives him a certain standing in his society; he has nothing to do because the madam keeps the books; all the inmates of the house are females and would defer to him and call him "sir." All the bootleggers in the neighborhood would call him "sir." And he could call the police by their first names.
So the only environment the artist needs is whatever peace, whatever solitude, and whatever pleasure he can get at not too high a cost. All the wrong environment will do is run his blood pressure up; he will spend more time being frustrated or outraged. My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whiskey.
INTERVIEWER: Bourbon, you mean?
FAULKNER: No, I ain't that particular. Between Scotch and nothing, I'll take Scotch.

This idea has been archived, contributions have been disabled
Our company has an increased demand to select and filter when searching for issues. Today's option using XL-file is too time consuming and does not really give us what we need.
What we need is when using the function 'serach for issues' get the possibility to have multiple select in first of all the field 'status' and as an additional feature for 'workflow step'.
We are many teams working on several issues and now when the projects and issues are increasing, today's solution is not good enough.
Best regards
This was implemented in last night's release
Practically Excel extract of issues is not sortable at all, if you include comments to Excel extract. This due Project Place use multi-cell functionality.
Hello Karolina,
Instead of me aeking all my project team to provide you with feedback, I am happy to talk to you over the phone to clarify this issue further.
If you want more text in an email, please reply
Hello again,
Our Company is using this Issues tool for tracking issues through analysis and development, and we have many issues reaised and many people globally are involved. We also have different teams working on different 'subsystems' within the system, and we therefore have a way to docuemnt this to make sure we have clear responsibilities and tracking possibilities. However, now with several hundreds of issues during this long project it is improssible to sort out the ones that are of interest for your team. You want to search for all open ones which means all 'In progress', 'not started' 'verified'. An additional search criteriea is also using the workflow step.
We also would benefit of have the possibility to in addition to the above also have search criteria on the 'name' field.
I have more documentation in a docuemnt that maybe clarifiy this a bit more, but I will only send it to you if required.

Hi Mats,
Thanks for taking the time to clarify this:)
I agree that the current search for Issues is kind of crappy (I am a big fan of PP so don't worry ;-).
There used to be a pretty neat text listing of issues that was removed that I used alot because there you could free text search (Ctrl-F) in comments also. Today this is many, many clicks away.
One classic use case that I would like this for (and that I use in other similar tools) is the common task of writing meeting minutes:
Typically you work with or review issues during meetings, issues treated during that meeting can be tagged (e.g. PM2009-04-17) in a comment. A quick search for that tag then gives you the equivalent of the traditional meeting minutes.
I very much in favour of improvements of the search for issues and this suggestion, but I really think that the search function should default should look in comments also.
Hello Karolina,
This sounds great, as the business are asking me what is the progress on this issue.
This is part of a business case for improved search.
This was implemented in last night's release

"things that start with the letter a" – I'm guessing that returned a lot of search results.
"harry potter wands for sale cheap" – It's like, I want to do magic, but I'm on a budget, you know?
"heat seeking balloons" – Oh god, pull up! It's right on your tail! Evasive maneuvers! It looks like a heat seeking…balloon?
"when it rains it pours zombie?" – When it rains, it pours….zombies? Paratrooping zombies falling from the skies? The horror.
"80's – ohh ohh ohh ohhhhhhhhhh ohhhhh" – This one makes me laugh, both in the futility of the search, but also because I have been reduced to performing similar searches before. (specifically "Ber ner ner ner, ber ner ner ner, ber ner ner NER ner ner ner")
"funny zombie birthday quotes" – That's…very specific. Funny zombie quotes are hard enough to come by, but to only limit them to birthday quotes…
"bigbutt wemon" – This is actually the only way I find my own site.
"bacon worshipping religion" – Yes please.
"potluck flowchart" – Is there bacon wrapped weenies? Yes -> take 10, No -> be sad
"facebook for people without kids" – I guess I didn't realize it was specific for people with kids?
"jet ski urban crime" – Awesome idea, however, not a lot of urban places are accessible by jet ski. Chicago just might be one of them, though…
"is it bad if people hero worship you" – As a person who is most likely hero worshiped practically nonstop (I assume), I am definitely the right person to answer this question. Seriously though, who asks this question and how do they fit their enormous head through the door?

New devices for baggage inspection in Airport
As part of the ongoing plants to tighten security at the Kuwait International Airport, the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will soon replace the traditional baggage inspection devices in the passport area, reports Al-Rai daily.
A knowledgeable security source said the plans also include raising the security level to the maximum at the departure halls of the airport by providing with support devices to detect explosives.
The source pointed out the DGCA has taken steps in this regard and has requested the State Audit Bureau to float a tender for the replacement of traditional baggage detectors in the passports area and provide the departure halls with support devices for the detection of explosives.
The sources noted the Audit Bureau has given conditional approval on the tender which amounts to 600,000 dinars.

|Zero Saints Thirty
Purple Ops
Marked: 7. Minimum kill: 1[1]
"Zero Saints Thirty" is the first mission in Saints Row IV.
- Cyrus is ready to launch a nuke at Washington. We need to take him out.
- — Quest description
Sometime after the "Save Shaundi" ending of Saints Row: The Third, Playa, Pierce and Shaundi travel to meet the MI6 agent, Asha Odekar, and assassinate Cyrus Temple, ex-commander of STAG, who is now a terrorist and plans to destroy Washington using a nuke.
Fighting through the numerous amounts of terrorists inside, killing Cyrus and disabling the warhead in mid-air, Playa lands in the White Crib via the roof, becoming the new President of the United States.
This mission automatically starts upon starting a new game. It is not possible to exit this mission, only to restart it.
The mission begins with a scripted sequence of the characters avoiding a truck.
- Follow Asha
- Checkpoint
After the player is given control of Playa, the group moves down the corridor following the truck and come across a terrorist urinating.
- Execute terrorist
Asha executes one terrorist with a Knife, leaving the other for Playa while Pierce and Shaundi wait behind.
To complete this objective, the terrorist must be executed with a Melee knife attack without being alerted.
If either terrorist is alerted, the objective is skipped.
If not killed or alerted, the terrorist encountered urinates indefinitely.[2]
- Kill terrorists
Once the first terrorist is either killed or alerted, another walks into the room and can be killed using a Knife Melee attack or with the Spec Ops SMG. Asha kills terrorists if they approach or attack her.
- Go to Comm Room
Once both terrorists are dead, Asha approaches a console and opens a pair of large blast doors, which Matt Miller says should be near the missile. At this point, Pierce and Shaundi rejoin the group. Terrorists open fire on the group, near explosive barrels which can be targeted to defeat them quickly. Alternately, Shaundi, Pierce, and Asha can take them out.
It is possible to simply run to the blue marker, ignoring enemies.
Either way, the objective is then to advance forward through several waypoints, with more terrorists along the way.
- Checkpoint
At the second waypoint, there is a Checkpoint. The corridor shakes and it is revealed the compound is being bombed.
While approaching the fourth waypoint, an explosion takes place further down the corridor, throwing Playa backwards, and collapsing the corridor.
Pierce opens a door to the side which leads to a room with more terrorists, and he kicks one.
- Checkpoint
At the sixth waypoint, there is another Checkpoint. Asha tells the group to split up, taking Pierce over some rubble to the right while Playa and Shaundi going left through a door with an alien hand logo.
The seventh and final waypoint is located past a large room containing another group of terrorists, who can again be sprinted past without killing them. The waypoint is located up the stairs and along a platform.
- Get in Position
Pierce and Asha are waiting alongside two doorways, and there is a marker beside Pierce's door.
- Breach Door
- Checkpoint
After entering the marker, Playa takes position alongside the door, and there is no alternative but to press the Action button.
- Kill terrorists
After kicking down the door, Cyrus runs out of the door at the rear of the room. Time slows down and the viewpoint switches to Fine Aim, as 4 terrorists open fire. The 4 marked terrorists must be killed to complete this objective, but Playa is not required to kill them. There is a 5th terrorist sitting down listening to music who is not marked, and does not need to be killed. If left alive, he continues listening to music and does not react.
The time slow-down also affects the menu animations and glitch-effects.
- Chase Cyrus
After opening the rear door, a terrorist knocks Playa to the ground, and Asha takes him out. She then helps Playa up.
- Checkpoint
The waypoint is located along a walkway. After entering it, there is a scripted sequence where Playa runs along the walkway and jumps off onto Cyrus below.
Playa drops their weapon upon landing, and Cyrus kicks Playa in the face. Playa then grabs Cyrus and there is an optional quick time event to press the Jump button to slam Cyrus' head into the floor. Whether or not this is done, Cyrus elbows Playa, then pulls out a knife. Playa dodges the Knife several times, grabs Cyrus' arm, then Cyrus headbutts him and stabs him with the Knife.
There is a quick time event to press the Action button. If it is not pressed, Cyrus stabs Playa in the head. If the button is pressed, there is another scripted fight sequence, then Cyrus grabs a gun and aims at Playa, who rolls towards their weapon, at which point there is a quick time event to the Fire button. If it is not pressed, Cyrus shoots Playa in the head. If it is pressed, Playa shoots Cyrus and sends him flying into a chemical vat. A hand emerges, holding a button, and Cyrus presses it.
- Get to missile silo
After Cyrus dies, it is immediately revealed that Cyrus launched a nuke. Asha, Pierce, and Shaundi continue to stand up on the walkway at the location of the previous checkpoint. After walking towards the silo, Kinzie realised the nuke is targeting Washington D.C., and assumes that Playa is going to jumps on it as it takes off.
After reaching the second waypoint at the missile silo, Playa jumps onto the launching nuke.
- Missile Climb
A series of quick time events are displayed in order to climb and up the nuke, dodge falling debris and sabotage it.
- Shaundi immediately says goodbye without pressing any buttons.
- After climbing up part way, there is an optional prompt to press the Jump button to dodge debris.
- After dodging or being hit by the debris, Kinzie says goodbye.
- After climbing some more, there are optional prompts to press the Action button to open a panel and Fire to rip out wires. Whether or not the buttons are pressed, Playa does so, Pierce says goodbye, and there is a prompt to press the Jump button to jump past the open panel.
- After climbing some more, there is another piece of falling debris, with optional prompt, and Matt says goodbye.
- After climbing some more, there is another panel to open, with optional prompts, and Asha says goodbye.
- After this, Kinzie says the warhead is disabled, and there is a prompt to press the Jump button to jump off the missile.
After pressing the button, Playa jumps off, the nuke explodes in the background, and Playa does a thumbs up towards the screen.
The title screen of Saints Row IV plays, then Playa crashes through the roof of the Oval office and lands in the president's chair, and the mission completion screen plays.
After the mission completion screen, Player Customization begins, with an autosave before the next mission, "The Saints Wing".
- Failure
It is possible to fail the mission by getting Smoked[3], with a special "Cyrus killed you!" failure message after being killed by Cyrus.[4]
- Cash: None
- Respect: None
- Achievement: Zero Saints Thirty
- Mission: The Saints Wing
- Special: Adoration of America
- Special: Presidency
- Advisor: Benjamin King (Chief of Staff)
- Advisor: Keith David (Vice President)
- Customization: Player Customization
- The title "Zero Saints Thirty" is an allusion to the film Zero Dark Thirty.
- The clothing worn by Playa, Shaundi and Pierce in this mission is also called "Zero Saints Thirty", and is available to buy as an outfit at Planet Zin stores.
- Playa not being customizable until after the mission and instead being fully disguised is similar to the first mission of Saints Row: The Third.[5] Instead of having a default voice, Playa doesn't speak at all.
- Playa's inability to speak in this mission is reasoned by "dead radio batteries".
- As the player of the game is ostensibly playing Playa, the dead batteries should not prevent the player from hearing "themselves".
- When Playa is running towards the missile silo at the end of the mission, Kinzie says that Playa is sacrificing themselves, so not to imply any sex of Playa at the start of the game before Player Customization occurs.
- The opening helicopter scene is taken from the film Predator, in which "Long Tall Sally" by Little Richard also plays.
- This is the first time Pierce does not wear a hat.
- When Keith David is unlocked, the description underneath says "You ready for this Playa?". This is the same line Julius says to Playa in the first mission in Saints Row.[6]
- "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith plays while Playa is destroying the nuke. This could be a reference to the film Armageddon, which features this song during a similar scene where the main character sacrifices themselves to save their friends.
- Much of the equipment inside the base, including trucks and crates, bear STAG markings. Ultor's zombie gas canisters are also present.
- In the living quarters is at least one copy of Boy Toy featuring Shaundi.[screenshot?]
- If Asha is kept away from the console by constantly attacking her, she still announces "we're in" and the doors still open.
- Despite this mission ostensibly taking place in "the real world", various visual glitches appear on-screen, such as when taking damage, or low on health. Zin-hand logos also appear on usable doors.
- The scene where Playa breaches the door and kills terrorist in slow-motion is a reference to the Medal of Honor games and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
- The scene where the first terrorist is executed bears some resemblance to the lethal takedown move from Splinter Cell: Black List.
- Cyrus Temple's death scene is an allusion to the Terminator's death in the film Terminator 2.
- Time spent in this mission counts towards the "Time spent with homies" Challenge, making this the earliest possible challenge which can be completed. Spending 2 hours in this mission completes the challenge, and unlocks the Abduction Gun.
- The blast door computer shows a Commodore 64 screen.[7]
- Playa has infinite Sprint during the mission.
- The United States flag in the "Adoration of America" unlock screen has 48 fleur-de-lis. The real flag of the United States has 50 stars, representing the 50 states in the union.
- Likewise, the real life Seal of the President of the United States has a ring of 50 stars for the same reason, whereas the "Seal of the President of the United Saints" has a circle of 41 fleur-de-lis.
- The terrorists in the opening cutscene use Varsitys, which is the first appearance of the vehicle since Saints Row 2.
- While the undrivable trucks at the beginning of the mission resemble Flatbeds, these are different, larger, and cannot be damaged.
- During the opening cutscene, Asha leaves her weapon on the ground when she takes off after Playa.
- The arabic signs and graffiti are literal mistranslations similar to engrish.
- The Statistics do not count any of the kills during this mission.
- There is an unused objective to "Hold Position".
- For the "Execute terrorist" objective, there is still only one target.
- During the exploding corridor scripted sequence, the other player is teleported there, regardless of where they are.
- If one player runs ahead to the "Go to comm room" objective, Asha and Pierce stay behind with the other player. Their climbing dialogue is started immediately, rather than when they reach the location, and they both disappear when their dialogue finishes.
- The "Get in position" objective requires both players to get in position, and there is a marker next to each door, rather than just the left door. Players already in position are invulnerable.
- Only the host can trigger the "Breach door" objective.
- When either player triggers the door ambush at the rear of the comm room, the scripted sequence plays for both players, but the other player is restored to their previous location.
- When either player triggers the fight with Cyrus, the scripted sequence plays for both players, but the quick time events are only available to the player who triggered it. At the end of the battle, both players are downstairs.
- When either player enters the nuke room, the scripted sequence plays for both players. The climbing sequence is available for both players, but the audio is played for both whenever either player reaches an audio trigger. The final quick time event triggers the scripted sequence for both players.
Cutscene #1Edit
- Narrator: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that every now and again a situation arises that defies explanation."
Narrator: "And so it was with the ascension of the Third Street Saints."
Narrator: "When the Saints made their presence known to the world in 2006, they were decried for being pretenders to the throne."
Narrator: "The people were confused. Were the Saints sociopathic killing machines hell-bent on destruction?"
Narrator: "Or puckish rogues living a life of mirth and whimsy?"
Narrator: "The Saints needed clarity of purpose, and so the course was set..."
Narrator: "More fun, less mercy killing."
Narrator: "This simple choice revitalized the Saints, transforming them from a degenerate street gang into beloved pop culture icons."
Narrator: "But even then the Saints were not satisfied..."
Narrator: "For it's one thing to be revered as a hero, it is another to be a hero."
Narrator: "And that, my friends, is where our journey begins."

Asha Odekar: "Or maybe take it personal..."
Cyrus Temple: "You ruined Steelport, ruined America..."
Asha Odekar: "Ugh. Monologuing..."
Cyrus Temple: "Our leaders failed America by letting you live. Time to destroy Washington and start over. Nothing can stop me now. Especially you."

Warehousing services are an integral part to the transportation industry. Companies, like North Western Warehouse and other businesses around South Dakota, provide commercial and private storage and inventory use as well as moving services.
Businesses have relied on warehousing companies for decades to help execute their logistics and to store sensitive materials in a safe and secure location. Warehousing companies hire drivers and invest in cartage vehicles to help transport materials across South Dakota or across the country. Competitive with other firms, warehouse companies do their best to have low rates and efficient service for their transportation services. Especially for commercial companies, low transportation costs from a warehousing company helps to reduce prices overall, helping consumers.
Warehousing businesses also provide essential storage and inventory services. Some companies are too small or lack sufficient funding to invest in their own warehouse. That is why major warehousing companies serve multiple client businesses and help store their client's commercial goods. Typically, the warehouse company invests in a real-time logistics system that can help the client business coordinate orders, inventory processing, and transporting the product. This helps to unite the client business and the warehousing company together in terms of e-commerce or typical product ordering.
Other investments warehousing companies make give them a competitive advantage over other warehouses due to their capital investments. For example, many warehousing companies will invest in industrial freezers so they can store products that need to be frozen, such as food and certain chemicals. Other warehouse companies may invest in temperature control rooms that can store dry goods that require little to no moisture. All of these investments not only give the warehousing company an unique selling point, but also a competitive advantage.
Commercial businesses are not the only customers a warehouse company may interact with. Depending on the warehousing business, the warehouse may allow for private use to store individual customer's personal goods. This allows people with a large amount of property to invest in storage lockers or particular rooms in a warehouse to store some of their products.
Whether its a commercial or private customer, warehouses help to product what is being stored with immense security protocols. Most warehouses have 24/7 surveillance with a complex camera system monitoring sights and sounds around the warehouse grounds. Other security protocols, like motion detectors and security door alarms help to protect the warehouse when its services are not open for business. Also, with immense data being processed between the warehouse and their client businesses, especially through e-commerce, most warehouse companies have complex internet security programs protecting data from hackers and viruses.
A commercial business in South Dakota or a private consumer can always count on specific warehouse companies to help with their storage and distribution services. These warehousing companies provide essential services that every business and person needs in a stable economy.

INFO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM 2015 Apr 18 12:30UTC
Only few low C-class flares were reported in the past 24 hours, and the strongest one was C1.2 flare (peaked at 18:01 UT) on April 17. The flare originated from the Catania sunspot group 32 (NOAA AR 2324). We expect C-class flares and possibly, but not very probably an isolated M-class flare. No Earth directed CMEs were observed during last 24 hours. The Earth is still inside a fast solar wind, although the wind speed is continuously decreasing and it is at the moment 550 km/s. The interplanetary magnetic field magnitude is stable amounting about 5nT. The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field is fluctuating between 3 and -5nT. The fast flow from the small low latitude coronal hole at the southern solar hemisphere (between S10 and S30) which crossed central meridian on April 17 might possibly, although not very probable, arrive at the Earth on April 20. The geomagnetic conditions are presently quiet, and we expect quiet to unsettled geomagnetic conditions in the coming hours.

Since attending her first class in 2004, DeAnna has dedicated herself to the art, beauty and magic of American Tribal Style (ATS)® Belly dance. Under the direction of Megha Gavin, director of Devyani Dance Company, DeAnna learned the precise, intricate details of each movement's technique and was trained as a professional level dancer and instructor.
In 2007 she received General Skills and Teacher Training certifications. Her continued devotion to the finite details of ATS® led her to further studies in anatomy, kinesiology and yoga. In 2013 she became a registered Yoga Alliance Teacher (200hr RYT) and in 2015 became a Sister Studio Continuing Education instructor and graduate of the first ATS® Advanced Teacher Training. With a passion for excellence, she regularly studies with the world's leading bellydance and yoga instructors.
DeAnna continues to introduce new training methodologies while still maintaining the pure tradition of ATS®. Her workshops, classes and private lessons offer an innovative blend of kinesiology, conditioning and dance drills with a focus on detailed and solid technique teaching dancers how to gently push themselves to their edge and discover their body's fullest potential.
DeAnna began practicing yoga consistently in 2005 as a way to increase her strength and improve flexibility. As a belly dancer, she turned to yoga as a way to improve technique. It wasn't long before she realized the physical benefits were just one small part of a regular practice. Within just a few weeks she noticed a dramatic improvement in her anxiety and stress levels. As a financial controller in a fast-paced, demanding corporate environment, her yoga practice taught her a number of skills that no amount of leadership or management training could have such as better patience and feeling in complete control under immense pressure and deadlines. She knew there was so much more to yoga and was eager to learn all she could.
DeAnna completed her 200hr RYT training in 2013 with a focus in Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow. She received her certification through Life Power Yoga and her enthusiasm and passion to learn even more led her to attended additional trainings in yin, restorative, anatomy and physiology as well as continuous self-study of all aspects yoga.
She attended teacher training as a way to dive deeper into her personal practice and learn how to use yoga to be a better version of herself. But soon after graduation she began teaching yoga to corporate professionals and her belly dance students. Eventually teaching regular classes and workshops. DeAnna is currently enrolled in a 300hr program and hopes to eventually be an E-RYT instructor with a focus on teaching yoga to dance instructors.

Solar Shingles
Solar panels are an excellent way to save energy and reduce energy bills, and sometimes even earn you money. If your solar array produces more energy than you're using in your home, many utility companies will buy that excess power back from you to use in the electric grid [source: Gangemi]. The problem with solar panels, from a design perspective, is that they can be a little bit of an eyesore.
That's where solar shingles come in. Unlike traditional solar panels, which lay on top of the roof or sometimes on a freestanding structure near the building, solar shingles integrate right into the roof itself, so they aren't quite so obvious.
Solar shingles are a bit pricier to install than traditional solar panels, since they not only help power the building, but they're actually roof shingles [source: Surina].
There are a couple of different sorts of solar shingles on the market: thin-film or silicon-based. Thin-film shingles cost a bit less, but they also tend to produce less energy per square foot than the silicon-based shingles [source: 1 Block Off the Grid].
As with a green roof, it's best to get a certified contractor involved if you're planning to install solar shingles, since the shingles have to be wired into your electrical system. You'll also need a professional to take a look at your roof to make sure it's even a candidate for solar shingles. They get hotter than typical solar panels, and you want to be sure that your roof is at a good angle to collect sunlight. [source: 1 Block Off the Grid].

Triumph Street Triple
In its purest form, motorcycling is all about stomach churning interaction between man and machine – and nothing hits the nail on that head better than a tightly wound naked bike. Lighter and gutsier for 2013, the Triumph Street Triple packs a 675cc three-cylinder that may lack the outright punch of a literbike, but offers high-revving nimbleness instead, exactly the sort of stuff that gives enthusiasts a heady buzz. Knee draggers can opt for the "R" version with more suspension adjustability, but it's the spunky spirit of this stripped down bike that makes everything else look fat. [$TBD; triumphmotorcycles.com]

(Queen's Park): Efficiency and conservation is the cheapest and greenest solution to Ontario's energy needs.
Unfortunately, according to the Environment Commissioner of Ontario (ECO), the Liberal government has done so little on conservation in the past year that it was a challenge to even produce a report.
"The Liberal's inaction on conservation is costing us money, wasting resources and failing to prepare Ontario for the future," says GPO leader Mike Schreiner. "Their inaction is irresponsible at time when the Liberals have wasted millions on moving gas plants and plan to waste billions on new nuclear plants."
The ECO's Annual Energy Conservation Progress Report, released today, also criticizes the Liberal government for creating barriers that prevent municipalities from implementing conservation projects such as district energy systems.
"It is unacceptable that the Liberals have not removed barriers to implementing energy saving infrastructure such as Guelph's proposed district energy system," says Schreiner. "Innovative local energy solutions create jobs and save money. I will continue to fight to remove these unnecessary barriers to innovation."

The Twelfth Day Of Christmas Music – 2015 Edition
Gene Autry – Merry Christmas You All
America's Favorite Singing Cowboy, and considered one of the most important figures in the history of country music, Gene Autry was already a popular radio star and movie icon when he recorded "Here Comes Santa Claus" in 1947. The song, which he co-wrote with Oakley Haldeman, launched Gene into yet another field of stardom: that of the role of the Christmas Cowboy.
From 1934 to 1953, Gene Autry appeared in 93 films and 91 episodes of The Gene Autry Show television series. He also made a reported 640 recordings for Columbia Records, including more than 300 songs written or co-written by himself. His records sold more than 100 million copies and he has more than a dozen gold and platinum records, including the first record ever certified gold.
Gene Autry's affiliation with the Christmas season would lead him to record numerous Christmas songs, including perennial holiday hits such as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Frosty The Snowman", "If it Doesn't Snow on Christmas Day," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" and "Everyone's a Child at Christmas." Over the years he recorded more than 25 Christmas songs alone.
I chose 1952's "Merry Christmas You All" to round out my 2015 Christmas collection because, well, as you likely know, I moved to Texas this summer.
It just seemed the right thing to do.
May your days be sunny and bright,
May your hearts be happy and light,
Merry Texas Christmas (y'all)!

text: This is the first really cold day of the year, and our Tesla charged to 80% overnight and stopped. Since then, I pre-conditioned the car earlier today and thought I would take it out, but noticed it wasn't drawing any current from the UMC, so decided to check further. I turned the car on (opened door, sat down, pressed brake) and clicked the start charging button on the big screen, but no current was drawn. I then changed the setting to disable timed charging hoping the car would start immediately, but it did not. Called Tesla Toronto service center, and they said the battery would need to heat before charging, but I had already pre-conditioned via the phone app, and sat in the car for many minutes, no voltage shown on the charging screen, just 24A like usual, but strangely, 0 volts. The car does not show any evidence it is heating the battery in preparation for charging. I unplugged the charging cord from the car, blew in it (sometimes that fixes charging issues). Didn't help, when I plug it in, the charge ring glows blue, and will not change to green. Right now, the car is 69% SOC, down from 80% that it charged to last night. Meanwhile, I took my Smart ED to the movies, and it worked perfectly, and is charging right now, no issues. I'm going out to reboot it and see if that helps. Any experience/advice would be appreciated.

Hey everyone! Welcome to episode 15 of Cowabunga Corner Season 3. In this episode I talk a little about the history of TMNT voice actors.
One thing all Turtle fans know is that every media has a new set of voice actors, so we're always seeing new faces being brought in. It's been this way since the early day of Ninja Turtles.
In this episode I talk about conventions, one of the things I've done a lot of during my life and still plan to do a lot more. Through conventions I've met many TMNT Guest and fellow fans. They're a lot of fun and I highly recommend them to anyone!

Shining Resonance Refrain for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC is the latest entry in Sega's long-running Shining series of role-playing games (RPG). It's also an enhanced remaster of 2014's Shining Resonance for the PS3 that was exclusive to Japan. In the last four years, we've seen RPGs go from strength to strength with the likes of Persona 5 and Nier Automata leading the way. How does Shining Resonance Refrain hold up?
You don't need to have played past Shining games to understand the references and story of this one. It's a standalone entry. In Shining Resonance Refrain you don the role of Yuma Ilvern, a boy whose soul is intertwined with that of an ancient dragon, making him the prime target of the Empire of Lombardia that seeks to conquer the Kingdom of Astoria by harnessing his powers.
Along the way, you'll be joined by others such as Sonia, a knight who is also the princess of Astoria and Kirika, an elf that communes with dragons. The set up of Shining Resonance Refrain seems interesting though the execution is anything but. Yuma ends up being your usual RPG hero, starting off as timid and bashful and he stays that way for most of the game, with little in the way of character progression although everyone else seems to think he's the most important person in the known universe.
The pacing feels awkward too. Shining Resonance Refrain is replete with brief sections of gameplay followed by an exorbitant amount of exposition and dialogue. So much so that it feels like its revealing all its story in one go. However, you'll meet some interesting characters along the way such as the Excella and Dragonslayer Jinas, two of the game's antagonists. Plus, you can even have the duo accompany you in the game's Refrain mode. It adds an element of replayability, but introduces you to some late game plot spoilers early on due to their dialogues, making Refrain mode worth better suited for a second playthrough.
In terms of exploration, it's akin to Final Fantasy XII wherein you'll explore a series of zones strung together as you make your way out of the city of Marga which serves as your hub. The game's structure has you going back and forth from time to time but as the story progresses, new enemy types are added, keeping things fresh.
Speaking of enemies, the combat is a treat. There's your basic attack button, character specific attacks such as sword lunges for Yuma, and a flurry of stabs for Sonia as well as blocking and dodging. These fundamental moves are layered with crafting and ability system that adds buffs such as extra health or attack bonuses. Also, Yuma can transform into a dragon in battle as well. While this has the potential to make combat too easy but it can attack your allies too if you use it for too long, making it an option to consider in tougher fights. What's unique to Shining Resonance Refrain is its bond system. It lets you assign specific traits to your characters that bolster defence or offence in battle and lends itself to experimentation as it's up to you to figure out what traits work well with each character.
This ties in to the game's band system. It's a whimsical mechanic that lets your squad perform songs in battle. These provide boosts to stats like accuracy and magic damage when in use. It adds a quirky dimension to the combat, making it more involving and entertaining instead of the usual, plain tactical skirmishes they end up being in other RPGs. On the whole, combat in Shining Resonance Refrain is polished and enjoyable, holding up well even towards the end of the game.
Furthermore, the game's overall presentation makes its systems such as crafting, combat, and character progression easy to understand and accessible. This is thanks to thoughtfully designed menus and smart presentation. It might not be as slick looking as other games on the market, but you'll find yourself hard pressed not to understand what's going on.
Visually, Shining Resonance Refrain looks solid on the PS4 Pro, being sharper and crisper than what it was on its initial release. It's not a bad remaster by any means, and stands out with its colourful art direction and anime-like character models.
With a middling story and poor pacing, Shining Resonance Refrain isn't for everyone. Fans of the genre will find its combat and systems entertaining while the game's support cast is more intriguing than its central character. It's a flawed entry but those looking for their summer role-playing game fix will find a lot to immerse themselves in.
Rating (out of 10): 7
Gadgets 360 played a review copy of Shining Resonance Refrain on the PS4 Pro. The game is out now on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC for Rs. 2,999 ($50 in the US).

Linnets thrash Thrapston
3rd March 2012
Another 3 points for the Linnets today after a 5-1 win over Thrapston in front of around 600 at the Walks.
Lot's of goals and plenty of incident during the 90 minutes, notably just before half-time when Lynn scored a dubious goal from a drop kick which caught the visitors keeper off guard and on the edge of his box. Luke Thurlbourne's kick lobbed the goalie and ended up in the back of the net.
The frustration of the visitors was still bubbling over on the Half Time whistle as the players came together down the tunnel.
But what did Linnet's gaffer Gary Setchell make of the incidnet and his teams performance?
See the goal for yourself and make up your mind! Tweet me with what you think; @simonrowe

With that in mind, I've started turning my thoughts to putting my stash to good use. I coordinate the member's Boutique where we sell our handmade goods to show visitors, thereby earning ourselves and our guild some cash (the guild takes a small percentage). While searching for something entirely unrelated in my drawers/bins/shelves/bags recently, I discovered a long-forgotten stack of 6" squares left over from pillows I made for my nephews a couple of years ago.
Presto: one little boy stroller blankie or playmat for the boutique! Pieced, simply quilted and bound in an afternoon-evening.
Backed with some Lizzy House Castle Peeps!
